NEW ALBANY — New Albany kicked off its bicentennial year in grand style Saturday night.
The "New Albany Loves You through the Decades" dinner and dance gala was held at The Grand in downtown New Albany on Saturday and many attendees dressed in their favorite era style of clothing.
The event, which was a sellout with 270 attending, is the first of many planned for the city in celebration of its 200th birthday. Develop New Albany teamed up with the Bicentennial Commission to host the dinner and dance.
"I could not be happier. We had no problems and nothing but positive comments," said Michelle Kristiansen, co-chair for the event and branch manager of the downtown MainSource Bank location.
Kristiansen said there were still people looking for tickets a few days before the gala, but she said organizers did not want to seat anyone in the balcony or force more tables or chairs on the main floor.
"I thought everything worked out real well," she said. "Some told me it was perfect and we need to plan on doing another one as a closing ceremony. That is not a bad idea."
She said that people dressing in period costumes was a nice touch. She also praised the sponsors for the event, including Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County.
"So many people got in character and I think they really enjoyed it," she said. "The sponsors were wonderful ... everyone we talked to said 'let's do this.'"
New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan, who attended the gala, also was impressed with the event.
"I would like to thank Michelle Kristiansen, the gala committee members and all of the Bicentennial Commission members for all of their hard work in making sure that the bicentennial gala was a great success," Gahan said in a written statement. "I would also like to thank Develop New Albany for the effort that their members put forth into this event. The gala served as an excellent kick-off for our bicentennial events this year, and I was pleased to see the great turnout."
The Jamey Aebersold Band played during the cocktail hour of the gala, and following dinner, the band Lindsay Lane and Axis performed.

— Just when you thought Jimmy Carter couldn't possibly embarrass himself or the country once again, he manages to do exactly that. He recently allowed himself to be a useful idiot to yet another terrorist group, this time Hamas.
First he met with Nasser al-Shaer, head of the Palestinian education system. This is the guy who teaches Palestinian children that Jews descended from pigs and dogs.
Then he put a wreath on Yasser Arafat's grave. Arafat was simply the father of terrorism as we know it today, but Jimmy still considers him a "very dear friend." If that wasn't enough, he went on to visit, with hugs, kisses and handshakes, Khaled Mashaal, the head of Hamas and now the guest of Syria. This monster proudly claims responsibility for the organizing of numerous suicide bombings, killing many innocent Israeli and American civilians.
While he is causing this mess, he claims to be simply a private citizen concerned only about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It doesn't matter to him that Hamas is considered an international terrorist organization by the United States, Israel and the European Union.
Carter, in his self-righteous, ego-driven, morally superior image of himself, ignores all State Department requests not to proceed with the trip and does what he pleases.
He is utterly clueless when it comes to being used as a tool by our enemies and claims he does only good and causes no harm.
This is not how our enemy sees it. Instead of keeping Hamas and other terrorist groups isolated, his visit gives these goons legitimacy. Immediately after his meetings, Hamas declared, "Political isolation by the American administration has begun to crumble." Carter is still bitter that the American people weren't smart enough to re-elect him to another four years. He still can't accept the fact that he is probably one of the worst presidents in American history and his constant efforts to polish his legacy only make him look worse.

A replica of the police car driven by Deputy Barney Fife rolled into Richland Township on Saturday. It was one of more than 300 vehicles on display at the fifth annual Johnstown Super Cruise.
When onlookers asked about the classic Mayberry-style squad car owned by Walt and Marilyn McClelland of Davidsville, Walt told them he bought the car because of the 1960s TV sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show."
"I loved the show. I watched it all the time," McClelland said. "I told my wife I wanted to create a car."
McClelland, retired band director for Greater Johnstown School District, said he bought a basic Ford model on eBay for $1,500 in 2007.
Three years and $10,000 later, the vehicle was ready to patrol the streets of Mayberry.
He drives the car each September to actor Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, N.C., for Mayberry Days.
"I've been bringing it down there ever since," he said.
The Super Cruise is all about rare and unusual vehicles.
"It's a chance for people to get out and meet one another and see the different cars on the road," said Gary Martin, president of Cambria County Crime Stoppers, which receives some of the proceeds from the show.
"The turnout is phenomenal," Martin said.
Members of four local cars clubs sponsored the event held at Greater Johnstown Christian Fellowship in Elton.
Organizers gave out trophies and visitors had a chance to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project.
"Overall it's a great show," said Jack Turner, event chairman.
Fred and Deb Kline of Armagh brought a yellow 1934 Ford coupe to the show.
They attend five or six such car shows each year with the coupe they've owned for 15 years.
The Klines don't always see the same people at the shows.
"This time I've seen a lot of different people," Fred Kline said.
"It's a lot of fun. It's a pretty nice show today."

New life for 'Joy boy'
Like most new parents, Gabe and Natalie Corbett of Henrico have had to endure more than a few sleepless nights, dry many a tear and soothe many a bedtime fear during their son's first year.
Like most new parents, they are also adapting to a considerably tighter budget than what they knew before Isaac was born in October 2010.
But unlike most new parents, their big expenses are not strollers and cribs and diapers. They are hospital bills.
As for the sleepless hours, night-time terrors and long crying spells, they are not Isaac's.
The tears and fears that keep them awake are their own.
Last September, just a few days before his first birthday, Isaac was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS Type 1).
Because both parents are carriers of lower-than-normal levels of a specific enzyme, Isaac lacks the enzyme, which is needed to break down complex mucus-like sugar molecules called mucopolysaccharides. The molecules then build up in the body and wreak havoc on organs and tissues throughout the body.
There is no cure, and on the spectrum of severity of the disease, Isaac has the most severe form known as Hurler's Syndrome.
Most children, the Corbetts have been told, die from this disease by the age of 10. The day she received that diagnosis, says Natalie, will "forever be engraved in my mind as the worst day of my life. . . . [The news produced] one of those near out-of-body experiences where I struggled to realize that this was real and not some nightmare I was having."
As for Gabe, he described the diagnosis as something resembling "more like a sick nightmare or a movie synopsis that you would never even want to think about."
"We both couldn't sleep at night more than a couple of hours at a time," recalls Gabe of the days following the diagnosis. "We'd wake up in tears, and try to keep the sobbing down in case the other one of us was able to sleep. Every time we were in the shower or driving, we would just start bawling."
Mysterious ailment
In Isaac's early months, the only signs that something was amiss were a non-stop runny nose and some oddities of his skeletal structure, which were attributed to his upside-down, folded-in-half position in the womb. Weighing almost nine pounds at birth, Isaac had trouble fitting into his mother's petite 5'3' frame, and was delivered by C-section. But with only a warning from the doctors to keep an eye on his hips, Isaac was sent home an apparently normal, healthy newborn.
At one of his first check-ups the pediatrician detected a hernia, and the Corbetts were sent to a urologist -- "the beginning of many specialist referrals to come," says Natalie. At three weeks of age, Isaac had his first surgery to repair an inguinal hernia.
At his one-month appointment, Natalie expressed concern over Isaac's leg joints and hips, and the Corbetts were sent to an orthopaedic surgeon. Both hips were found to be out of the socket, and Isaac was put into a harness.
The next specialist Isaac saw was a neurologist, who examined his slightly-misshapen head and noted that might need a helmet. But by now the Corbetts had learned that Isaac would need surgery on his left hip, leaving him in a body cast.
"I was beside myself when I heard this news," says Natalie. "It seemed that our precious little boy couldn't catch a break. Just when I thought he was going to get out of the harness and be able to move around like a normal baby, I discovered that his movements would be entirely limited . . . for three months."
Meanwhile, Natalie had gone back to work and Isaac was in day care, exacerbating his already-chronic congestion. When the day came for the surgery, the anesthesiologist had to turn Isaac away due to the risk associated with his congested airway.
Over the next few months the Corbetts saw a succession of specialists, from cardiologists, geneticists, and allergists to craniofacial and ENT doctors. At five months, Isaac's congestion eased enough for him to have the hip surgery, and he was put in a cast. But he continued to suffer from constant nasal drainage and ear infections, and at eight months, he had tubes inserted in his ears.
"After Isaac's third surgery – hernia, hip, ear tubes – we started wondering what could be the common link between all of these," says Gabe, noting that Isaac was averaging two doctor visits a week. "Why does he have such a high palate with thick gums?
"The biggest question was the nose that no one could figure why it kept running. We'd go through two or three boxes of Kleenex a week; [his nose] was red-raw all the time."
The body cast was replaced with a brace, but Isaac's skeletal challenges continued. At 10 months, he was significantly delayed in development, and could still not crawl, roll over, or come to a sitting position. After analyzing a full spinal MRI, the neurosurgeon suggested that Isaac might need surgery to remove part of the first vertebra in his neck and create more space.
It was at a follow-up visit with the geneticist, after blood tests had been done on all three Corbetts, that the doctors pinpointed the problem and delivered the devastating diagnosis.
Although MPS has no cure, Duke University Medical Center is one of two hospitals in the U.S. that has had some success with bone marrow transplants for MPS Type 1 children. Gabe's father, Dr. Eugene Corbett at University of Virginia, began researching the process from the moment of diagnosis. Within a week -- a week in which they had
planned to celebrate Isaac's first birthday – the Corbetts had moved into the Ronald McDonald House at Duke.
Over the next month, Isaac had his adenoids out, his nasal passages enlarged, a shunt inserted into his brain, and a central line installed to transmit chemo and drugs. Complications from the line placement surgery landed him in intensive care on a ventilator for two days, and required extra time to heal before he was ready for the nine days of chemo that prepared him for the transplant. But in December, he received a bone marrow transplant from a cord blood donor.
Throughout all the pain and uncomfortable side effects, says Natalie, "Isaac continued to be our little joy boy." Nurses and doctors loved coming into his room, she says, because Isaac would greet them with a giant smile and silly laugh.
"We always joked that Isaac never learned to blow bubbles or raspberries because his lips were never closed," Natalie says. "He loves to smile and laugh more than anything, which is quite fitting considering that his name means 'laughter.' . . . He has amazed many people with his incredible attitude."
Becoming 'clean freaks'
After a couple of months in the hospital, Isaac was discharged, and his parents could care for him in their Durham apartment. In addition to three medications requiring infusions that they have to give Isaac each morning and night, they have 10 oral medications and two creams to administer. Because of his compromised immune system, Isaac has to remain in the apartment at all times, except for clinic visits.
"He wears a mask any time he's outside of the apartment," explains Gabe, "and we have become clean freaks."
Until the day that Isaac is cleared to go back to Richmond -- possibly in late spring -- the Corbetts have adopted a grueling routine. They try to get to bed by 10, because Isaac wakes up once or twice every night needing a feeding, diaper change, and often a bath because he is on so many fluids from IV's.
Rising at 7 a.m. to warm up the refrigerated IV meds, Isaac's parents must sterilize a tray, remove air from saline and heparin syringes, prime two IV pumps, and gather all supplies within easy reach.
Before waking Isaac, his parents have also learned to have Cheerios handy to distract him. "He's a curious kid," says Gabe, "[and wants to play] with his central line lumens." It takes 45 minutes to draw blood and administer all Isaac's morning medications, for which he is rewarded with more Cheerios "for hanging in there with us," says Gabe.
Meanwhile, Natalie fires up her laptop. Because Gabe has had to leave his job selling real estate, the Corbetts feel fortunate that Natalie is employed by a company that allows her to work remotely.
After breakfast, Gabe runs Isaac through his physical therapy and puts him down for a morning nap. Following the nap, the two either head to the clinic for a visit of two to five hours, or play host to visiting physical, speech, and occupational therapists. Then it's time for the evening round of IV/oral medication prep.
Positive outlook
It's a schedule that leaves virtually no free time for Isaac's parents to enjoy as a couple, except when Gabe's parents visit and they can slip out for a movie. The financial struggles are also daunting, as they continue to maintain the apartment in Durham, Natalie's place in Chesterfield, and Gabe's home in Rockett's Landing -- while the hospital bills mount.
What's more, the Corbetts have been told by other transplant families that they need to maintain their savings, as they face the possibility of long-term care for Isaac. He will require several more surgeries for his skeletal abnormalities, which will not be helped by the transplant. He will also need extensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and may have some eyesight issues and learning disabilities as well.
But you won't hear Gabe and Natalie complaining.
The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is working with them to raise funds for Isaac's transplant-related medical needs, and Gabe's sister, Caroline, is working on benefits such as an ice show at Skate Nation and a yard sale at Rockett's Landing [details below].
Although MPS Type 1 can't be cured, the bone marrow transplant will save his vital organs. The previously-missing enzyme now resides in his new growing cells, and will not only prevent future build-up of the mucopolysaccharides but also break down those already collected.
"We no longer have to dread birthdays, wondering if this will be his last one," says Natalie. Isaac has made tremendous progress, and is able now to stand up against the sofa for a minute or two. His perpetual runny nose is gone, he can pick up tiny bits of cereal and feed himself, and he waves bye-bye and plays pat-a-cake.
"The doctors all say that he is a poster child for a successful bone marrow transplant," reports Natalie. "We are thrilled about the new life these new cells offer our son and we are excited to watch him grow."
Gaining perspective
All in all, says Gabe, the experience has helped him realize how precious the opportunity to be a parent is.
"I shudder [when I think] what could have happened if Isaac's hip doc hadn't mentioned that we follow up with genetics," he says, noting that the bone marrow transplant is an option only for children under two. "We probably would not have figured it out until too late."
In addition, he says, the experience has given both parents a unique sense of perspective.
"I'd like to think it's made us more patient and understanding, and less caught up in the stuff that doesn't really matter," says Gabe. "When your entire life changes in a single phone call, you realize real quick that a lot of your cares, worries, and desires are petty.
"If you have your health, if those you care about have their life and health, we really can live with just about anything else."
The outpouring of support from friends, family, and "folks we met along the way" has overwhelmed them, says Gabe. "Meals, notes, cards, care packages, advice, babysitting so we could get away for small periods of time, prayers, volunteering, and just general thinking about us. Everyone was anxious to find a way to help us.
"I never felt so alone as when I got the news [of the diagnosis] at 2 p.m. on September 30," he adds.
"Now I know we're not."

Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

Aledo superintendent Don Daniel always knew he wanted to be in education.
First as a teacher and coach, he moved his way up the system, before taking office as the Aledo superintendent more than a decade ago.
May 31 will be his official last day, and a retirement and appreciation reception will be held in his honor May 17 at 4:30 p.m.
"I've always had a passion for education," Daniel said. "These have been the best 12 years of my career.
"I've been surrounded by great people, and there were times where I had to stop and count my blessings because I felt like I had the perfect situation."
That feeling of closeness and a positive attitude runs rampant around the district offices.
"The past 12 years have been absolutely great, and the moral has improved so much under his leadership," said Ann Grace, Daniel's assistant. "He and his family have been so supportive and we've all become each other's family. I just can't say enough about him."
Grace, a graduate of Aledo High School, has been in the district for 17 years, working alongside Daniel for the last 12.
"Most superintendents last about two or three years and usually don't stay in one spot for too long, but I'm glad he did," she said. "He has taken us from the brink and back and we've grown and prospered into what we are now."
Daniel arrived in Aledo after serving as assistant superintendent for Crowley ISD. At that time, the district was in a bleak financial state and academics needed to be improved upon, he said.
"The student performance was good, but our sub groups were far below average and we had some work to do," Daniel said. "The new high school was also being constructed and it was underfunded."
In response, Daniel and his staff went to the state, coming up with a two-year financial plan for recovery. They were able to regain their footing in just a year.
"We had a $165,000 fund balance at the time, compared to our current fund balance of $13 million," he said. "It was a good way to lose weight, but I wouldn't recommend it."
While the things he has accomplished in his 12 years at Aledo may be abundant, Daniel's humble and children-first attitude show just how invested he has been.
"He's here for the kids," Grace said. "That's what he wakes up and thinks about."
On top of maintaining a healthy budget for Aledo ISD, the district has also grown in enrollment numbers, increasing by 60 percent over the last decade, a figure Daniel says is because of his staff.
"I'm very fortunate to have had such a great staff," he said. "You can have all types of ideas, strategies and improvements, but without implementing them, none of that would make a difference.
The credit goes to the staff who provide the implementation and I'm the one who takes responsibility."
While he is still a little anxious at relinquishing control and responsibility to someone else, Daniel looks forward to pursuing things on his off time.
"I'll spend time with the family and hopefully play a little more golf," he said. "And of course there's more time for more yard work to do."
Daniel will also travel next door as an ambassador at the Ballpark in Arlington, meeting people and answering questions, as well as getting to see some good baseball games.

Hi Guys and Girls,
I'm hoping to get a job in Korea as I really enjoyed visiting last summer. I need to provide "TWO OFFICIAL apostilled nationwide criminal background check"
Is a basic disclosure from Disclosure Scotland sufficient?
I'm new as you can see, so Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Aloha, Ciao to all the users.
Welcome to the forum, tails.
You may get an answer from somebody here who has worked in Korea, but I suggest you ask your prospective employer and/or the Korean consulate in your country.
Please do not edit your question after it has received a response. Such editing can make the response hard for others to understand.
Thanks 5jj, I shall email the consulate.

I write about politics and popular culture.
Much has been written about the "sluttification" of women's and girls' Halloween costumes. Have a costume idea, add the word "sexy" and take away most of the fabric and you will be ready to go.
Sexy Fire Fighter, Sexy Nurse, and even Sexy Nuns and iPhone costumes. It is not fully clear why this trend started, but when Google started tracking costume searches in 2004, "sexy" plus costume was a hot search and expanded exponentially through 2008. Although the volume of these searches has declined somewhat that probably has more to do with the assumption that a Halloween costume for women is, by definition, "sexy."
The question remains, however, why do women dress in hyper-sexualized ways on Halloween, a day meant to be "scary"?
The answer to sexy witches lies, perversely enough, in the virginal bride. Indeed, the point of being hyper-sexualized on Halloween is to be sexually pure the rest of the year.
In other words, certain women- particularly white, middle-class women- have been afforded the status of being sexually pure and innocent, real ladies. Other women- especially poor women and/or women of color- have been marked as hyper-sexualized and dirty.
Thus white, middle class women, especially college students and soccer moms, love to put on sexy, slutty costumes on Halloween. In this way, they mark themselves as sexual, but also sexually protected. No one would call your mom or daughter a "ho" on November 1st, but let's face it, on October 31st she might just be dressed like one. In this way, being a Halloween Ho marks one as "really sexually pure" in the same way that men dressing up as women marks them as "really men."
Still, just like when your man puts on high heels and pantyhose for the neighborhood costume party and you are struck by how he has more womanly legs than you do, so too does the whorish Halloween costume invite a category crisis. Suddenly your sweet young daughter or loving mother is a hyper-sexualized nurse in white leather hot pants sucking on a syringe full of liquid candy.
But if modern love is embedded in this annual ritual of making white women hyper-sexualized, it is also embedded in crossing race and class lines too. Indeed, often white women sexualize themselves through racial and class appropriation, like dressing up in a "sexy burka" costume, which sold out this year. Or how about a sexy "ghetto fab" wig?
Many groups are critical of the use of racial stereotypes, like the Ohio State STARS campaign that urges students to think twice before they buy a racially insensitive costume. But to separate the racial costumes from the sexualization of white women is to miss the way that race and gender are knotted up together in our culture.
White women have, at least since the Victorians, been imagined as sexually pure. Nonwhite women, whether African-American or Chinese-American, have been imagined as sexually available. That's why when white women want to sexualize themselves they often do so with racialized costumes. There's a reason there's a sexy geisha costume and not a sexy soccer mom costume (although there are sexy soccer player costumes).
White women aren't hyper-sexualized in our culture. Except on Halloween. And then being a white woman is scary.
I disagree; I know plenty of dirty white girls.
If I understand correctly, sex is scary? Poor "sexy" COLOURED women are dirty? The author is scared of sex and needs to spend some time with a dominatrix. And rich/middle class women are…pure? Take off the retard goggles. Also, you're a racist.
Laura, I believe that you are looking much too deep into this idea. Women of all color associate any type of "dressing up", including a night out on the town, with attempting to look sexy, so it makes sense that they would do the same on halloween. You also say that white women are looked at as sexually pure….maybe in the Victorian era or whatever bullshit ur talking about, but the fact is that ask any college guy across the country what race of girl is easiest to get under the covers and they will all say "white girls" they all know that white women are more promiscuous than the rest….do a study, go to any campus and ask…
with all your overpriced pieces of useless paper, i mean sociology degrees, and useless education and even being a woman yourself, you have no idea what you are talking about, become an engineer, or a doctor and do something for society instead of spreading ridiculous theories about peoples skin color
The reason there is a sexy geisha costume and not a sexy soccer mom costume has nothing to do with race. You should wikipedia geisha and read about their profession.
Comparing sexy Geisha to soccer mom makes about as much sense as saying there are brawny football players but no brawny data analyst costumes. It certainly doesn't prompt a person to think that this is because football players are often black and data analysts are just assumed to be white.
This article is absolutely ridiculous…. plain old backwards. Really? white college girls are "pure and clean"? If anything, in North American culture, whenver one thinks of a hypersexualized, available girl, I am positive that most people would imagine a white girl. The idea behind dressing up in clothes of other cultures is bcs in Halloween, you're supposed to dress AS SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT. What sense would it make if a middle eastern person dressed in middle eastern clothing during Halloween???
I'm surprised you didn't mention the mainstreaming of porn aesthetics/imagery as being one of the drivers of "sexy" costumes. After all, where does our visual representation of hot nurses and scantily-clad cops come from in the first place?
Wow, this author is really out of touch with reality. Students wear those skimpy Halloween outfits because they're going to a party to meet other students. Head into a college town on ANY weekend night and you'll see the young women dressed up in similarly skimpy outfits, minus the furry ears and tails. They are adults, older than my parents were when they got married, so what's wrong with acknowledging they are sexual beings? I'm glad they are comfortable with their bodies and don't feel a need to hide their figures. They are going to parties in houses and bars, not trick-or-treating with the little kids in the cold, so they are well past the age where they need to consider a costume that keeps them warm, and bulky costumes are impractical for more than a couple of hours unless they plan to undress completely every time they need to use a restroom. Plenty of "sexy" costumes were worn even when I was in college, before today's students were born, they just weren't available as mass-produced costumes, but assembled from garments the students already owned or picked up in thrift shops.
Ohio *State* STARS campaign? Not so much. I think you're referring to Ohio *University*. Great program; different school.
STARS is not an Ohio State program, it is an Ohio University program. An an Ohio University alumnus, I find it highly frustrating how often the media gets these two school confused. Double check your sources.

Hagel: U.S. Remains Undecided on Syrian Chemical Attacks
'What I rely on is specific U.S. intelligence agency assessments,' Secretary Hagel said in Egypt.
France, Israel and the U.K. believe that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons on its own people during its two-year-old civil war, but the U.S. needs more proof than intelligence from its closest allies, officials say.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, said during his Middle East tour Wednesday that the U.S. is still assessing the situation in Syria to determine if the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has crossed the "red line" that President Barack Obama has frequently referenced.
[ALSO: Syria's YouTube Users Face Threats for Exposing Footage]
This follows reports on Tuesday from an Israeli official that forces loyal to Assad had gassed Syrians with lethal sarin. Hagel said he has not yet discussed this report further with anyone, including U.S. intelligence agencies.
"I have not talked to anybody about the Israeli assessment or report," he told reporters in Egypt on Wednesday. "What I rely on is specific U.S. intelligence agency assessments. Any recommendations I would make to the president would have to come from those assessments."
"We're looking at all the possibilities, assessing all the situations. Until we have confidence in those facts, I have nothing else to say about it," he added.
[READ: Israeli Official Says Syrian Regime Used Chemical Weapons]
Hagel said he discussed the potential use of chemical weapons in Syria during a meeting with Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon. However, his Israeli counterpart did not provide Hagel with the assessment on the use of chemical weapons. He surmised Wednesday the report may not have been finished.
Hagel served on the Senate Intelligence Committee during his time in Congress representing Nebraska. He warned against acting upon intelligence reports before analysts have the time to put the information into context, and dismissed claims that inaction is hurting U.S. credibility abroad.
"Suspicions are one thing, evidence is another," he said. "I think we have to be very careful here before we draw any conclusions based on real intelligence."
"You want to be as sure as you can on these kinds of things," Hagel said.
[ZUCKERMAN: The Feeble U.S. Response on Syria Is a Moral and Strategic Failing]
Reports circulated March 19 that the Assad regime conducted chemical weapons attacks in Damascus and rebel-controlled Aleppo.
In its most recent claims, Israel says it has photographic evidence of Syrian victims showing the symptoms of a chemical attack.
The White House on Wednesday questioned these claims.
"We have not come to the conclusion that there has been that use," spokesman Jay Carney said, reports Bloomberg News. "It is precisely because of the seriousness of the use of chemical weapons – and the seriousness with which the president made clear that that use would be unacceptable – that it is incumbent upon us and our partners to investigate thoroughly and validate or verify allegations of chemical weapons use."

There is no timetable for a ruling on that case, and while Schefter subsequently stated that if the test result is upheld, Sherman could be suspended immediately, the NFL generally imposes a suspension at the beginning of the week and not two days before a game.
There's no hard and fast rule on the timing of a suspension, but that is the general guideline.

Paul and Colleen Dziewisz have seen the damage left behind by Hurricane Sandy and think there is strength in numbers.
So they are organizing the Bux-Mont Hurricane Sandy Clean-up Team.
UPDATE: The meet-up location for both Saturday and Sunday will be at 7 a.m. at the Central Bucks West High School parking lot located at Rt. 202 and Lafayette Street in Doylestown.
Here's the message Paul put out on the group's newly formed Facebook page:
This Saturday and Sunday I am organizing a Hurricane Sandy cleanup effort for Bucks and Eastern Montco. Colleen and I feel the need to roll up our sleeves and help some people.
We are trying to put together a large group of volunteers to go out in teams of four to do safe and meaningful cleanup for Bux/Mont residents who need help. We expect to help with tree and branch removal, yard damage, water cleanup, etc. Here's where you come in…
This is how you can help the effort:
1) Volunteer your time and join us. We will be going out on Saturday and Sunday. If you can come either day or both that would be great. If you can't do a full day then do a half day. If you're better at organizing than at hauling branches that is great too.
2) Volunteer your tools. We will need…
a. Wheel barrows
b. Trash bags
c. Shovels
d. Gloves
e. Chainsaws
f. Ropes
g. Hammers, nails, etc.
h. Ladders
3) Let us know of anyone that is in need of help. There are a lot of Bux/Mont folks still struggling. We need to match up people in need with our effort. I'll be reaching out through social media and to local municipalities over the next couple days to get names as well.
4) Spread the word for us on social media, through email and word of mouth. A lot of people want to help but don't know what they can do. We'll get them working to help. I setup a Facebook group called "Bux-Mont Hurricane Sandy Cleanup Team". Please join it to spread the word.
If you want to join us then please email me asap or call 267.626.7478. If you have equipment to lend please let me know and I will contact you to arrange pickup or drop-off. If you know someone who needs help (especially elderly folks in the area) put them in contact with me.

Ventricle (heart)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Heart chamber. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2014.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
In the heart, a ventricle is one of two large chambers that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs. The atrium (an adjacent/upper heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle) primes the pump. Interventricular means between the ventricles (for example the interventricular septum), while intraventricular means within one ventricle (for example an intraventricular block).
In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles that operate in a double circulatory system: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta.
Ventricles have thicker walls than atria and generate higher blood pressures. The physiologic load on the ventricles requiring pumping of blood throughout the body and lungs is much greater than the pressure generated by the atria to fill the ventricles. Further, the left ventricle has thicker walls than the right because it needs to pump blood to most of the body while the right ventricle fills only the lungs.
On the inner walls of the ventricles are irregular muscular columns called trabeculae carneae which cover all of the inner ventricular surfaces except that of the conus arteriosus, in the right ventricle. There are three types of these muscles. The third type, the papillary muscles give origin at their apices to the chordae tendinae which attach to the cusps of the tricuspid valve.
The mass of the left ventricle, as estimated by magnetic resonance imaging, averages 143 g ± 38.4 g, with a range of 87–224 g.[1]
During systole, the ventricles contract, pumping blood through the body. During diastole, the ventricles relax and fill with blood again.
In cardiology, the performance of the ventricles are measured with several volumetric parameters, including end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV)and ejection fraction (Ef).
|Typical value
|Normal range
|end-diastolic volume (EDV)
|120 mL[2][non-primary source needed]
|65–240 mL[2][non-primary source needed]
|end-systolic volume (ESV)
|50 mL[2][non-primary source needed]
|16–143 mL[2][non-primary source needed]
|stroke volume (SV)
|70 mL
|55–100 mL
|ejection fraction (Ef)
|heart rate (HR)
|75 bpm
|60–100 bpm[4]
|cardiac output (CO)oo
|5.25 L/minute
|4.0–8.0 L/min[5]
The heart and its performance are also commonly measured in terms of dimensions, which in this case means one-dimensional distances, usually measured in millimeters. This is not as informative as volumes, but may be much easier to estimate with e.g. M-Mode echocardiography[6] or with sonomicrometry (mostly used for animal model research). Optimally, it is specified with which plane the distance is measured in, e.g. the dimension of the longitudinal plane.[7]
|End-diastolic dimension
|The diameter across a ventricle at the end of diastole, if not else specified then usually referring to the transverse[8] (left-to-right) internal (luminal) distance, excluding thickness of walls, although it can also be measured as the external distance.
|LVEDD or sometimes LVDD
|The end-diastolic dimension of the left ventricle.
|48 mm,[9]
Range 36 – 56 mm[10]
|RVEDD or sometimes RVDD
|The end-diastolic dimension of the right ventricle.
|Range 10 – 26 mm[10]
|End-systolic dimension
|ESD is similar to the end-diastolic dimension, but is measured at the end of systole (after the ventricles have pumped out blood) rather than at the end of diastole.
|LVESD or sometimes LVSD
|The end-systolic dimension of the left ventricle.
|Range 20 – 40 mm[10]
|RVESD or sometimes RVSD
|The end-systolic dimension of the right ventricle.
|Range 10 – 26 mm[10]
|Interventricular septal end diastolic dimension
|The thickness of the interventricular septum.
|8.3 mm,[9]
Range 7 – 11 mm[10]
|Left ventricular end diastolic posterior wall dimension
|The thickness of the posterior left ventricular wall.
|8.3 mm,[9]
Range 7 – 11 mm[10]
|Left atrial dimension
|Range 24 – 40 mm[10]
Fractional shortening (FS) is the fraction of any diastolic dimension that is lost in systole. When referring to endocardial luminal distances, it is EDD minus ESD divided by EDD (times 100 when measured in percentage).[11] Normal values may differ somewhat dependent on which anatomical plane is used to measure the distances. Normal range is 25-45%, Mild is 20-25%, Moderate is 15-20%, and Severe is <15%.[12] Cardiology Diagnostic Tests Midwall fractional shortening may also be used to measure diastolic/systolic changes for inter-ventricular septal dimensions[13] and posterior wall dimensions. However, both endocardial and midwall fractional shortening are dependent on myocardial wall thickness, and thereby dependent on long-axis function.[14] By comparison, a measure of short-axis function termed epicardial volume change (EVC) is independent of myocardial wall thickness and represents isolated short-axis function.[14]

AUSTIN, Texas - Health officials say a Central Texas woman has the state's first confirmed case of fungal meningitis in a nationwide outbreak linked to steroid shots for back pain.
The Texas Department of State Health Services said Friday the woman was hospitalized and is being treated. The health department said additional details are not being released to protect her identity. Fungal meningitis is not contagious.
So far, the now-recalled tainted steroids shots have sickened at least 184 people in 12 states, causing 14 deaths.
A Dallas County health official says the Texas patient was treated at Dallas Back Pain Management, one of two Texas facilities known to have used the drugs. Dallas Back Pain Management didn't return a phone message.
The roughly 130 patients who received shots at the facilities were notified.

The first presidential debate was most striking for Gov. Mitt Romney's aggressiveness and President Barack Obama's rhetorical reserve, but the town hall format in the second debate provides an extra challenge for the candidates, says Peter Kastor, PhD, professor of history and American culture studies in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.
The two debates also reveal one of the greatest challenges to candidates as they try to appear presidential: balancing emotional display with appropriate reserve.
Kastor notes that there's more to this than looking for smoke and mirrors. "The relationship between style and substance has often turned on a discussion of truthfulness (does a candidate use a particular style to cover the fact that he is lying in the debate). That's certainly the way both parties have explained things, claiming that any increased popularity in the opposition is only the result of insidious lies."
Kastor looks at it differently. "These debates are part of the process for convincing Americans that a particular candidate is 'presidential.' And, within current American political culture, that term relates directly to the relationship between style and substance.
"More specifically, presidents are supposed to be both distant and personable, restrained and emotional, aggressive and confrontational on one hand yet dignified and conciliatory on the other," he said.
"The Obama of 2008 is very different from the Obama of 2012," Kastor said. "His speeches and his performance in the first debate were less personally revealing and less emotionally evocative."
Tonight's town hall debate format may give Obama – and Romney – a chance to appear "presidential" in a very different way.
Come watch the debate with Patch at Wehrenberg's Des Peres 14 Cine or St. Charles 18 Cine.
"The town hall format works very differently," Kastor said. "Candidates must be emotionally demonstrative and personally revealing in a way they don't display in one-on-one debates. That was certainly the lesson of the first time presidential candidates tried this debate on TV."
Kastor notes that in the 1992 debate, Bill Clinton's ability to connect with the audience at a personal level only magnified the perception that George H.W. Bush could not connect with average Americans. In a town-hall format, Kastor says, candidates must find a way to aggressively respond to each other without deploying the sort of attacks that are so common in one-on-one debates.
But whatever happens tonight, they'll have one more debate with a return to the one-on-one format.
"The first and second debates may share more in common on subject (the first focused on domestic policy and the town hall debates usually do as well, while the third debate will focus on foreign policy), but the first and third debates share far more in common on form."

This may be a short week work-wise, but it's pretty big from a Blu-ray standpoint.
We have a lot to be thankful for, including the new Tarantino XX 8-Film Collection. This 10-disc box set snags our spotlight for the week because it includes eight films from Quentin Tarantino's resume—which the director handpicked himself. However, this isn't just a rehash of previous Blu-ray releases. Fans can expect two entire discs' worth of new goodies.
If that's not enough violence to fill your holiday weekend, we also have the latest installment of The Expendables and season two of HBO's critically acclaimed Game of Thrones. There's also a few less violent releases, although the jury is still out on the latest entry in Disney's "Buddies" franchise.
Did we miss one of your favorites for the week? Have something to say about one of this week's new releases? Sound off in the comments below. Otherwise, all of these titles are out now, except where noted. Enjoy!

New molecules around old stars
Using ESA's Herschel space observatory, astronomers have discovered that a molecule vital for creating water exists in the burning embers of dying Sun-like stars.

Herschel discovers mature galaxies in the young Universe
New Herschel results have given us a remarkable insight into the internal dynamics of two young galaxies. Surprisingly, they have shown that just a few billion years after the Big Bang, some galaxies were rotating in a mature way, seemingly having completed the accumulation of their gas reservoirs.

Bullying black holes force galaxies to stay red and dead
Herschel has discovered massive elliptical galaxies in the nearby Universe containing plenty of cold gas, even though the galaxies fail to produce new stars. Comparison with other data suggests that, while hot gas cools down in these galaxies, stars do not form because jets from the central supermassive black hole heat or stir up the gas and prevent it from turning into stars.

Herschel spies active argon in Crab Nebula
Using ESA's Herschel Space Observatory, a team of astronomers has found first evidence of a noble-gas based molecule in space. A compound of argon, the molecule was detected in the gaseous filaments of the Crab Nebula, one of the most famous supernova remnants in our Galaxy. While argon is a product of supernova explosions, the formation and survival of argon-based molecules in the harsh environment of a supernova remnant is an unforeseen surprise.

Herschel throws new light on oldest cosmic light
Cosmologists have achieved a first detection of a long-sought component in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This component, known as B-mode polarisation, is caused by gravitational lensing, the bending of light by massive structures as it travels across the Universe. The result is based on the combination of data from the South Pole Telescope and ESA's Herschel Space Observatory. This detection is a milestone along the way to the possible discovery of another kind of B-mode signal in the polarised CMB - a signal produced by gravitational waves less than a second after the Universe began.

There is more gas in the Galaxy than is dreamt of by astronomers
A survey from Herschel has revealed that the reservoir of molecular gas in the Milky Way is hugely underestimated - almost by one third - when it is traced with traditional methods. Monitoring the emission from ionised carbon, the new study identified molecular gas in the intermediate evolutionary stage between diffuse, atomic gas and the densest star-forming molecular clouds. The discovery not only indicates that there is more raw material for the formation of new stars in the Galaxy, but also that it extends farther than astronomers knew.

Rare merger illuminates origin of 'red and dead' galaxies
Astronomers have found a rare encounter between two massive and gas-rich galaxies in a survey from Herschel. The event took place when the Universe was only about three billion years old and involved two galaxies forming stars with exceptional efficiency whilst in the process of merging. This galactic collision would go on to form a very massive elliptical galaxy with hardly any star formation activity. The discovery suggests a viable mechanism for the origin of the puzzling 'red and dead' galaxies that are seen in the young Universe.

Herschel reveals the Milky Way's warm heart
What heats gas near supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies? Astronomers have looked at the centre of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, with ESA's Herschel Space Observatory and discovered a rich variety of molecules at surprisingly high temperatures - up to 1000 K. The new data suggest that the molecular gas is heated up by shocks, in addition to ultraviolet radiation from massive stars close to the Galactic Centre. Shocks develop in the gas as the material surges towards Sagittarius A*, the region harbouring the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.

Observation gives way to examination as Herschel coolant runs out
The liquid helium coolant that enabled instruments on board the Herschel space observatory to collect extraordinary images and spectra has finally run out. Launched in 2009, the ESA mission collected unprecedented data of the cool as well as of the distant Universe. Herschel's observations have exceeded expectations, enabling scientists to learn more about how stars form, about the rates of star formation in galaxies across the cosmos, and about the origin and presence of water in different celestial bodies. While observations have come to an end and the spacecraft is to be propelled to a stable parking orbit around the Sun, where it will remain indefinitely, the science mission will continue for several years with many discoveries still to be made in the treasure trove of images and spectra collected by the observatory.

Herschel links water in Jupiter's stratosphere to 1994 comet impact
Astronomers have finally found direct proof that almost all water present in Jupiter's stratosphere was delivered by comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which struck the planet in 1994. The result is based on new data from Herschel that revealed more water in Jupiter's southern hemisphere, where the impacts occurred, than in the north as well as probing the vertical distribution of water in the planet's stratosphere.

Star factory in the early Universe challenges galaxy evolution theory
ESA's Herschel space observatory has discovered an extremely distant galaxy making stars more than 2000 times faster than our own Milky Way. Seen at a time when the Universe was less than a billion years old, its mere existence challenges our theories of galaxy evolution.

Retired star found with planets and debris disc
ESA's Herschel space observatory has provided the first images of a dust belt - produced by colliding comets or asteroids - orbiting a subgiant star known to host a planetary system.

Herschel gets to the bottom of black-hole jets
Astronomers using ESA's Herschel space observatory have detected emission from the base of black-hole jets for the first time. While studying the black-hole binary system GX 339-4 in a multi-wavelength observation campaign, they noticed changes in the source's X-ray and radio emissions signalling the onset of powerful jets being released from the black hole's vicinity. This prompted the astronomers to observe the source at far-infrared wavelengths with Herschel. As the first observation of emission from jets in a black-hole binary system at these wavelengths, the data have allowed the astronomers to probe the jets down to their base, where the far-infrared emission originates. Herschel's contribution to the multi-wavelength observations has proved a crucial addition to the understanding of black-hole jets and of the physical processes that take place very close to a black hole.

Herschel to finish observing soon
ESA's Herschel space observatory is expected to exhaust its supply of liquid helium coolant in the coming weeks after spending more than three exciting years studying the cool Universe.

Black holes and star formation: a Herschel perspective
The effects of supermassive black holes on their host galaxies pose a tricky puzzle: are black holes able to influence, and possibly even suppress, star-formation activity on galactic scales? Astronomers have been searching for a signature of such a feedback effect, and have been spurred on recently by the large surveys of distant galaxies compiled with ESA's Herschel Space Observatory. A variety of results has emerged from the first joint analyses of these data and other observations, performed either in X-rays or in radio waves, but the only certainty so far is that it remains a vexed question.

Herschel sizes up massive protoplanetary disc
Astronomers using Herschel have detected heavy molecular hydrogen in the protoplanetary disc around the nearby star TW Hydrae. Detected for the first time in a protoplanetary disc, this molecule - which consists of one hydrogen and one deuterium atom - can be used as a tracer of the disc's main constituent - molecular hydrogen, consisting of two hydrogen atoms. The observations allowed the first accurate determination of the mass of a protoplanetary disc. With a mass equivalent to 50 times that of Jupiter, the disc around TW Hydrae is several times more massive than the primordial disc that gave birth to our Solar System, offering the tantalising prospect of the star hosting a complex planetary system in the future.
