STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) - Many schools are stepping up security measures in light of last week's Connecticut school shooting incident. One district is in central Wisconsin, where no one is taking a rumor lightly.
Stevens Point Administrator, Dr. Attila J. Weninger says there was an unsubstantiated rumor heard at Stevens Point Area Senior High about someone shooting a weapon in the school Friday. Even though it's only a rumor, Weninger says they are not taking any chances.
He says there are three additional police officers on duty today, tomorrow, and Friday at the high school, and at other district facilities. "We have a police officer at each of our elementary schools each of the three days as well, and we're being very vigilant about entrances and exits."
The Superintendent says classes and activities will go on as scheduled, but they will be paying close attention to what's happening around them. "We are maintaining all of our regular activities during the day and after school as well. We've beefed up security in some of our after school activities such as boy's basketball, but we're going to continue operating as normal. We believe that's the best thing to do, and to be as normal as we possible can, and be vigilant at the same time."
Weninger says parents who feel it's not safe for the children have the right to keep them out of school. He says staff has talked to students about violence, and they have an open letter to parents on their website with some important links to more information. "There is a link to the National Association of School Psychologists website, and there's a resource on the front page of that website called Talking to Children About Violence, in light of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and I would strongly encourage parents to view that website which you can link directly from the letter."
Many schools already have locked doors and mandatory office check-ins for visitors. Wausau Schools recently started locking classroom doors between the bells, too.
The Stevens Point Schools website is: www.pointschools.netYou will find the school district's letter Dr. Weninger referred to on the front page of that site.
The National Association of School Psychologists website is: http://www.nasponline.org/
The letter from NASP is found with this direct link: http://www.wisp.k12.wi.us/education/page/download.php?fileinfo=TkFTUF8tX1RhbGtpbmdfdG9fQ2hpbGRyZW5fQWJvdXRfVmlvbGVuY2UucGRmOjo6L3d3dy9zY2hvb2xzL3NjL3JlbW90ZS9pbWFnZXMvZG9jbWdyLzM0NDZmaWxlMjQyNjcucGRm§iondetailid=1
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Dear Parents and Guardians,The Newtown Tragedy this past Friday causes us to do several things.First, please hug your children, our students, and know that they are unconditionally loved and cared for, and that their safety is our first concern.Second, we will be prepared and vigilant in our security measures, as best we are able, each day. As I stated on Friday, we have upgraded and improved our Emergency Operations Plans across the District and in each site. We will heighten those in the coming days and weeks in order to bring a greater safety to students, staff, and parents.The National Association of School Psychologists has a very helpful website www.nasponline.org for all of us. One of those resources, Talking to Children about Violence, is posted on our website for you. Please take advantage of it, as will our staff. More importantly, our School Psychologists, School Social Workers, and Counselors are ready to assist any student, parent, and staff member who may need assistance. Reaching out for assistance is an important step to take in order to overcome this heavy burden. According to the National Association of School Psychologists it is important to keep in mind that an event like this is rare. Schools are one of the safest places for children and youth during the school day, and an important place for them to receive support and return to normalcy. Communication and collaboration among schools, parents, and communities is critical to ensure that our students continue to view schools as safe, caring, and supportive environments. Further, how adults react to this tragedy can shape the way children and youth react and their perceptions of safety. Third, the Stevens Point Police Department, the Plover Police Department, The County Sherriff's Department, and the District are working together to ensure the safety of our students every day and particularly when rumors begin. This is one of the advantages that we have living and working in a strong, communicative community. To that end, please know the following.
1. There will be a uniformed Plover Policeman in Plover-Whiting and Roosevelt schools for the rest of this week from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
2. There will be uniformed County Sherriff's Officer in Kennedy and McDill schools for the rest of this week from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
3. There will be uniformed Stevens Point Police Officer in Bannach, Jefferson, McKinley, Madison, and Washington schools for the rest of the week from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
4. At the Junior High Schools, the existing Stevens Point Police Liaison Officers will be on alert and present throughout the building and entrances for the rest of this week.
5. There will be three (3) additional Stevens Point Police Officers on duty at SPASH the rest of this week before, during and after school hours.
6. In addition, each school has taken measures to further increase safety based on their unique building needs and staff.
Finally, we have received several emails from parents asking about our state of preparation and offering suggestions to make our schools safer. We will take all suggestions and review them in light of our current practices and procedures. We thank you for taking the time to assist us in this.
Attila J. Weninger, Ph.D., Superintendent

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- The Wausau man convicted of firing a weapon at two people in a car last year will spend a long time in prison. 31-year-old Ka Yeng Xiong was involved in an altercation with people at a Wausau area tavern in August of 2012.
Prosecutor Ryan Wetzsteon was satisfied with the 40-year sentence handed down by Judge Greg Grau. "The judge deviated from our recommendation based on his own assessment of the gravity of the offense, the character of Mr. Xiong, and the protection of the public that he deemed necessary."
Xiong's first 28 years will be behind state prison walls. After that, he will be on extended supervision for an additional 12 years.
Court documents say Xiong went home after the altercation, and the people followed him. That's when Xiong came out of his house with a handgun and started shooting at their vehicle, shattering the glass, and hitting two other homes in the process. Wetzsteon said this easily could have injured or killed people. "As I stated in my sentencing argument, it really was a miracle that these two gentlemen were not struck by any bullets. It's a similar miracle that none of the residents in this community were harmed by it."
Forty years may seem like a long sentence in a case where nobody died, but the court frowns on intentionally shooting at people. "I think this sentencing sends a message to those that are thinking of engaging in behavior such as this, that you don't want to do it in this area because we will take it very seriously, and act swiftly thereafter."
Besides the attempted homicide charges, Xiong was convicted of recklessly endangering safety and criminal damage to property. Those sentences will be served concurrently.
(Our interview with Assistant District Attorney Ryan Wetzsteon can be heard on our website, here.)

Breakfast for Lunch: Steel-Cut Oats with Dates, Coconut, Cinnamon and Pecans
Do you ever eat breakfast for lunch? Today we wanted a bowlful of those pearly steel-cut oats, hot and fragrant. Here are the other things we threw in...
We've waxed rhapsodic about steel-cut oats in the past and we're not about to quit. Steel-cut oats are far less gummy and thick than flat-rolled oats. Read all about the differences between oats here: What's the Deal With Oatmeal?
For this particular batch of steel-cut oats we boiled two cups of salted water, then threw in a cinnamon stick, a handful of chopped dates, and about a 1/4 cup of flaked coconut. We slowly stirred in one cup of steel-cut oats, turned down the heat and let them simmer for about half an hour.
When they were thick and creamy we heaped them in a bowl, sprinkled on some pecans, a touch of sugar, and some butter and milk. Breakfast for lunch!
The dates got all gooey and oozey when they cooked - rather like sweet, natural caramel in the oatmeal. You can see a bit of it in the photo above.
We've blogged about oats and breakfast for lunch before here: Brown Bag Thursday: Breakfast for Lunch. More oats below...
• Recipe: Golden Oat Pancakes
• Recipe: Oat, Pear, and Raspberry Loaf
17 Comments
That recipe looks very delicious. My usual method for steel cut oats or cracked wheat is to boil three cups of water and a little salt the night before you want them. Add a cup of steel cut oats or cracked wheat, put the lid on, and take it off the heat. It's ready for breakfast; in the morning scoop out a bowlful and microwave it for a minute or two.
If you have leftover cooked steel cut oats, stick them in the refrigerator. They're great served cold with fresh fruit and yogurt. It's a little like Bircher Muesli.
If you don't like gummy quick oatmeal, use the following method:
Boil your water and salt. Shake the quick oats over the top of the boiling water. DO NOT STIR. You can shake the pot a little if you need to. After a minute, cover the pot, take it off the heat and let it sit for five minutes. Voila: perfect quick oats.
I like my oatmeal topped with pecans, dried cherries, and a little brown sugar.
That looks amazing. I've been trying to want to eat oatmeal more often...this should do it.
Adding dates, pecans and coconut to my shopping list...
This morning I had steel-cut oats with a sprinkle of brown sugar topped with warm homemade chunky applesauce. Yum!
(PS. The nuts in the photo look like walnuts.)
I make my steel cut oatmeal, put it in a bunch of recycled glass jars and heat in the microwave. When I eat oatmeal for non-breakfast (either lunch or dinner) I put cheddar cheese in there. I've been eating cheese in my oatmeal since I was a kid. Sometimes when I'm lazy and want a one dish meal and no crumbs, I put in peanut butter and jelly. Or PNut butter and cinnamon when I'm craving a peanut butter cookie.
I've been a rolled oats girl for a while, but this morning I tried steel-cut and they were amazing! I love the idea of dates and coconut. My usual breakfast is very similar to Lucrezia's - the chunky applesauce lightens up the oatmeal texture, and tastes awesome with some dried cranberries and raisins, too.
Looks like walnuts to me.
Oh my goodness you guys are right! I had a total mind blip when I wrote that. I was thinking walnuts and somehow pecans came out.
Oh yeah, this was great... especially the little bits of date and coconut! I made a double batch, and microwaved the rest this morning - it got much more solid, like polenta, and was great with cold milk poured over the top. Thanks for the inspiration!
I've always done a ratio of 1 part oats to 4 parts water as recommended on the package of Irish oats. I'm going to try it with less water, am curious to see how that comes out.
That looks heavenly and makes me wish I brought oatmeal with me for breakfast (or lunch!) today.
i used to eat my breakfast for lunch every day - i was never hungry in the morning! but i recently have started to bike down to work every day and boy, do i work up an appetite...
i always have some quick cooking oats in my desk for emegencies. and luckily, my desk lunch supply includes honey, and dried fruit and nuts.
though for lunch i crave savory and crunchy foods.
I want to add a great alternative to oatmeal.
Try my recipe for having MILLET as a breakfast/ lunch cereal. Millet is packed with nutrients including protein which is great to start the especially if you're a vegetarian or vegan.
Go to: http://www.lifeologia.com/?p=1014
Enjoy - it's really delicious, even my 2 year old prefers this over tooloops ;)
I had steel-cut oats for the first time for breakfast this morning.
Now I'm a believer.
I must admit, I haven't had the patience for steel cut oats..but when I do have oatmeal, which is my 'go-to' any time of day dish, I have it loaded. I have to add almond milk to make it a bit creamy and then through in a mix of any or all of the following:
desiccated coconut
chopped dried apricots
semi-sweet chocolate drops'
roasted almonds
roasted hazelnuts
It's such a treat!
Oatmeal is my go-to winter breakfast, and I never mind pancakes or omelets for dinners, but somehow I can't wrap my mind around eating that stuff at lunch. Food "taboos" are weird things, so hard to overcome.
What I really object to is eating COLD cereal for dinner. I know several people who do that when they don't feel like cooking and to me that is just like you have given up on life!
OH I do make an exception for pannekoeken or crepes when in the lands of origin! Then they make the perfect lunch (but usually savory...)
I love eating breakfast for lunch :) I do more often in summer, when I enjoy a lot a green smoothie. Actually, I cane eat green smoothies both for breakfast and lunch. One of my favorites this Bloody 'Green' Smoothie with pears....the beets give an amazing color to it.
More examples of breakfasts I ate for lunch are this Vietnamese Dessert Pudding with White Beans and Sticky Rice in Coconut Milk and this Crème of buckwheat.
I also like doing the opposite, and eat lunch for breakfast :P

It's rare for an actress to embrace both ends of the nerd spectrum. On the Wrath of Khan–quoting side, Rachel Nichols played the famous Green Girl from J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot. Three years later she's donning robes and sandals as the love interest in Conan the Barbarian. Sci-fi and swords and sorcery? Yes, Rachel may be the ultimate fantasy girl.
VIDEO: Conan the Barbarian's Rachel Nichols
VIDEO: Rachel Nichos: Swimsuit 2001
You're a hot warrior monk in Conan, and you've played various other ass-kicking roles. What's up with all the violence?
I wasn't always as ass-kicking and gym-going. Because I was in Alias and G.I. Joe, I started training. Alias was very action-packed. G.I. Joe and Conan were very action-packed. It's been established that I can do action, which is great, but now I may just want to make out with a really hot guy.
VIDEO: Conan the Barbarian's Rachel Nichols
So, a romantic comedy with Matthew McConaughey?
Sign me up! I'd love to do a movie where I actually get to be kind of quirky and odd and dorky and all that stuff. My parents would like to see some movies where I'm not in peril. They'd appreciate it
They raised you in the Northeast, and you've described yourself in the past as just a shy girl from Maine. Is that still true?
No. Shy is not me anymore. I mean, it used to be, definitely. I wasn't lying. I'm still polite and a good friend, but once you really stop caring about wanting everyone to like you all the time, you can't be shy anymore.
VIDEO: Rachel Nichos: Swimsuit 2001
You took some time off from college to model. Any good stories?
I speak French. I don't get to do it very often, so it sort of atrophies. My first modeling job in Paris, the photographer said, "Tu es belle," which means, "you are pretty," and I thought he said, "Tu es poubelle," which means, "you are the trash can." I burst into tears. He was not happy about that.
Do you play any sports?
I recently began taking golf lessons. I'm so excited! The first few times I ever played was at the driving range with a bottle of, like, Crown Royal in a brown paper bag. But now a friend set me up with a teacher, and I'm taking lessons. On the first day he said, "You're a flexible little fucker!" Then he said, "Look, you're the only girl at the range right now. People are going to come up to you and want to teach you stuff because you're pretty. You need to tell them to fuck off." And he's at least 70!
Besides being a potty-mouthed old guy, what do you look for in a man? And you can't say "confidence" or "sense of humor."
Confidence and sense of humor? Excuse me, but fuck that! My type is really young, short, athletic, and smart. I know, you want to be with someone who's going to be your friend—yeah, yeah, yeah. I want the Adonis line, the two down the hips to the waist. And a guy has to be able to accept criticism about his clothing. I can be very particular about what I like and don't like.
Well, I'm a pragmatist like that, and I'm a little anal-retentive. I was the maid of honor at a friend's wedding, and there were only 40 people there, and there weren't any crises, but I liked getting everything just perfect and organized. I was hoping I could be like, "Somebody give me a headset! We have a problem with table two! There are some children who are being too loud! Put them in the closet so they don't ruin the ceremony!" I think I would quite like that.

$125K for young entrepreneurs
Calling all young entrepreneurs.
The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is accepting applications for the 2013 edition of the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award.
If you are an entrepreneur aged 18 to 35, you could win a $100, 000 grand prize by presenting a turning point your company has reached and the solution you are proposing to take your business to the next level.
Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs at BDC says the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award is a great venue to shine a spotlight on some of the challenges young business owners face today.
"All companies reach a turning point," says Bergeron. "Some may choose to tap into new markets by implementing an internet strategy. Others may decide to acquire new equipment that will increase their overall profitability. Recognizing challenges early on and having a plan to tackle individual turning points is important for business and should rank high on an entrepreneur's agenda."
Bergeron believes the experience will bring finalist exposure, public support and access to people and resources that could help their company grow.
"As impressive as the monetary awards may be, a better reason to compete is to get noticed by potential customers and investors."
Entrants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents responsible for the daily management of a Canada-based business for at least two years as of December 31, 2012, and must hold at least 20 per cent of the company's capital stock. Contest closes April, 2.
A second prize will also be awarded to the runner up, with a value of $25,000 in consulting services.

(Washington, D.C. -- July 3, 2012) Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF) today launched a major television ad campaign to thank Senator Lamar Alexander for his leadership in the fight to protect the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
"Senator Alexander stood up for clean air and Tennessee families, and he deserves our thanks. Mercury is a dangerous neurotoxin that threatens young children and pregnant women -- we can't just ignore the problem," said Fred Krupp, President of Environmental Defense Fund. "Lamar Alexander took a courageous stand for the people of his home state."
Sen. Alexander helped lead the fight to defeat an effort under the Congressional Review Act that would have killed the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and stopped the EPA from issuing a rule that is "substantially the same" in the future. The new standards are expected to save 11,000 lives each year and significantly reduce mercury pollution in the environment.
The Tennessee Valley Authority has already begun to reduce its pollution under a separate legal agreement, and the new federal rules will now require non-Tennessee utilities to start cleaning up as well.'
"Senator Alexander put his constituents before partisan politics," added EDAF President Elizabeth Thompson. "We don't always agree with Senator Alexander – in fact, he has called for a delay in these rules which we think is a bad idea. But when it counted, he fought for common sense pollution limits. We recognize strong leadership for clean air when we see it, on either side of the aisle."
The ad will be running Chattanooga, Knoxville, Nashville, Jackson, and Memphis the week of July 4th. It can be seen here.

Environmental Defense Action Fund (www.edactionfund.org) is at the forefront of educating legislators about developing new solutions that protect the natural world while growing the economy. Through grassroots and direct lobbying, EDAF amplifies Environmental Defense Fund's ability to champion laws that are based on science, economic incentives, and, above all, the protection of our environment

Dr. Allan Levi Performs the World's First Nerve Graft Using a Patient's Own Cells to Try to Repair a Severe Peripheral Nerve Injury

Dr. Allan Levi, director of clinical research at The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis recently performed the world's first nerve graft using a combination of a patient's own nerve and her own Schwann cells in an attempt to repair a severely injured sciatic nerve. The FDA approved study took place at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The patient, Danielle Press, 26, suffered life-threatening injuries in a boating accident off the coast of Key Biscayne on September 14, 2013. She was rushed to Ryder Trauma Center at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center with several deep, lacerating injuries to her upper leg. Trauma surgeons immediately operated on Danielle, who had lost a lot of blood and nearly died.
Doctors discovered that the sciatic nerve in her left leg, which controls the majority of movement and sensation in the leg, had been completely cut and separated. Danielle, a college graduate who taught English in South Korea, was told that she may never regain any feeling or movement in her leg as a result of the injury.
Repairing the sciatic nerve - the largest nerve in the human body - presents one of the most difficult challenges in nerve surgery, particularly when a significant gap exists, as was the case with Danielle. One of the major limiting factors in the repair of this nerve is the absence or lack of donor nerve material. Even in cases in which a relatively small gap exists, the donor nerves that are located in the lower leg that are harvested for this repair are rapidly depleted. Insufficient autologous nerves are a major obstacle to successful repair strategies for sciatic nerve injuries with large gaps like the one seen in this case.
Dr. Levi, who specializes in the field of spine and peripheral nerve surgery, considered traditional nerve grafting, but felt that Danielle may have a better outcome with alternative treatment options, such as using her own Schwann cells, expanded in number using cell culture techniques. Schwann cells are involved in many important aspects of peripheral nerve biology including the conduction of nervous impulses along axons, nerve development, and regeneration. Dr. Levi and his team are leading an FDA approved Phase 1 clinical trial as part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's Miami Project to Cure Paralysis using a patient's own Schwann cells for acute spinal cord injuries. Pre-clinical work suggested that the use of Schwann cells could also be beneficial in Danielle's unique case.

A Gold Price History from Nixon to Obama
Analysts look to the gold price history as a tool to make predictions about the yellow metal's direction.
A good place to start when examining the gold price history is the 1970s. Up until the early '70s, gold prices hardly fluctuated by more than a dollar or two.
But U.S. President Richard Nixon, who was in office from 1969-1974, decoupled the dollar from gold in 1971 due to various economic pressures.
And this had a major effect on where gold went after that…

Why Are Gold Prices Down?
Gold and to a lesser extent silver got hammered pretty hard today (Friday) - leading many of our investors to write in and ask why gold prices are down so much this week.
Gold closed Friday at its lowest level since July 2011. In the last two days, gold was off about $70 and silver off about $1.60 at their worst points.
So what's going on?
Well, in the search for answers I can see a few reasons.
It started Tuesday, when UBS cut its average gold price forecast for 2013 to $1,740 from $1,900. UBS cited risks the U.S. Federal Reserve would end its current QE sooner than expected, a move into equities, low inflation, improving economic growth, and a stronger U.S. dollar.
Then Wednesday, the leaked Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes showed that several members believe the costs of the $85 billion monthly bond purchases outweigh the benefits. We're being led to believe that "many participants" think improving unemployment could justify slowing up on bond-buying "at some point over the next several meetings."
Remember that these are not minutes where members' comments are actually written down word-for-word (like they ought to), these are carefully crafted statements to influence opinion. The Fed is known to try to "manage expectations, so it wants it to look like bond-buying will end sooner than later.
But I, for one, don't buy it.

Goldman Sachs Is Manipulating Gold Prices Right Before Your Eyes
If you want a lesson on how to manipulate gold prices, you need only look at what Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) has been doing over the past few months.
Goldman set the table by predicting a turn in gold prices back in December 2012, which no doubt contributed to the precious metal's 5% decline in the first two months of the year.
At the end of February, Goldman issued a research report that said the big Wall Street bank had soured on the yellow metal, and dropped its three-month target for gold prices from $1,825 an ounce to $1,615, its six-month forecast from $1,805 to $1,600, and its one-year outlook from $1,800 to $1,550.
Then, just yesterday (Wednesday), Goldman doubled down on its negative outlook for gold prices.
The bank's new targets for gold prices are $1,530 in three months, $1,490 in six months and $1,390 in one year.
The double whammy - two downgrades in two months - had its intended effect, as gold prices fell 2%, to $1,558.80, after Goldman released its report. It was the biggest single-day percentage drop for gold in nearly six months.
"If you've ever suspected gold prices are being manipulated, you're not alone - and you're right, they are," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.
The proof is right in front of us.

Gold Prices: The Yellow Metal's Still a Great Long-Term Investment
There are a lot of moving parts to the gold story so let's start with the biggest takeaway: Gold prices are facing only a temporary setback.
Longer-term, as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks begin to wind down quantitative easing and, more importantly, begin to ease interest rates back up to more "normal" levels, inflation should begin to kick in and drive gold up to new highs, making the yellow metal a great long-term investment.
First, though, let's tease apart the various factors that currently are driving the price of gold lower.

Gold Prices Will Ride Higher on this New Investment from China
China remains a small player on the international gold scene, but that's about to change, and that's good news for those betting on higher gold prices.
You see, currently China's gold investors have few opportunities to play rising gold prices, which they want to do increasingly to hedge against risk and inflation. Most buy gold bars and notes to bet on higher gold prices.
But they will soon have more options.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission on Jan. 25 announced the country's rising gold demand required diversified investment instruments. It announced provisional guidelines for gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have been prepared for launch over the past few years and will be made available soon.
The CSRC said that the gold ETFs would be invested in the spot contract traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and up to 10% on other products.
In the future, the funds could be opened up to futures contracts.
"Later on, we will further open up the market and quicken the steps to integrate into the international market," Xie Duo of People's Bank of China said. "We should actively create conditions for the gold market to become integrated with the international gold market."
Here's how this news is bullish for gold prices.

German Gold Grab Could Call into Question the "Full Faith and Credit" of the U.S.
The recently publicized move by the German central bank to bring its gold home is sending a major message about trust in the United States.
The bank holds 45% of its 3,396 tons of gold in the vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, and wants to reduce those holdings to 37%. It also plans to take back all of its 11% of holdings currently stored at the Banque de France in Paris.
The immediate reaction to the German central bank's decision to repatriate some of its gold was to assert that the Bundesbank no longer trusted overseas central banks to look after their gold.
The German Federal Court of Auditors (Bundesrechnungshof) has ordered the Bundesbank to audit its gold reserves "because stocks have never been checked for authenticity and weight."
Prior to that, the Bundesbank had simply relied upon written certification from the central banks where its offshore gold is stored that the correct amount of gold is actually in the vaults and is of the appropriate fineness.
What's more, samples of gold from the Fed and the Banque de France will be melted down and tested for fineness or quality.
Suppose Germany's gold isn't all it is supposed to be?
The "full faith and credit" of the United States would certainly be called into question.

Higher Gold Prices Triggered by Europe
In early trading Friday, it was like old times again - gold prices soared and it was well overdue.
The yellow metal glistened in early trading, with gold for August delivery rising 3%, propelled above the key $1,600 level. Fueling the strong gains in gold and other markets were encouraging words out of the European Union summit.
As the pivotal two-day meeting in Brussels wound down, global markets and commodities rallied after EU leaders struck a "breakthrough" deal to ease the recapitalization of banks. The plan was aimed at pulling the Eurozone back from the edge of its debt crisis.

While Banks Crumble, The Next Leg Up For Gold Prices Draws Near
Something's afoot in the world of high stakes finance.
The Basel Committee for Bank Supervision (BCBS) is about to decide something crucial to bankers, sovereign nations, and gold investors alike.
As part of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the BCBS is reviewing the upcoming new Basel III rules. That may sound arcane to you but I promise it's not.
Though rarely discussed in the mainstream press, the all-important Bank of International Settlements is essentially a global central bank to the world's central banks.
Its goal is ostensibly to provide global stability to the monetary and financial systems.
And in a surprise twist that only a few years ago would have been considered preposterous, the BCBS is entertaining whether gold should qualify as a full-fledged Tier 1 capital asset.
Currently, the precious metal is relinquished to a Tier 3 status, deserving no more than a 50% weighting at that.
Here's why that distinction is important and potentially astonishing.
Achieving Tier 1 status would credit gold with the recognition it's been denied ever since Nixon closed the gold window on August 15, 1971.
In essence, it would mark the official recognition that gold is real money.
But that's not the only reason gold is gaining respect. Other factors are brewing that will set the stage for the next leg up in gold prices.
As Banks Teeter, Gold Gains RespectOne of them is the crumbling state of world's banks. Once unwavering, the trust in these financial ivory towers is precarious at best.
In the last couple of months alone, Greek depositors have withdrawn billions of euros in deposits, as the fear of a "Grexit" looms large.
Not to be outdone, Spain banks have been emasculated by the Iberian nation's own bursting real estate bubble. After denying for weeks that a bailout would be required, officials finally caved to a "Spailout", giving Spain's banking system a 100 billion euro rescue package.
This phenomenon is not exclusive to the Eurozone either.

The Case for Higher Gold Prices
Gold prices had gold bugs giddy in the fall of 2011. In September, the luminous yellow metal touched an intraday high of $1,920 a troy ounce, putting the precious metal up roughly 35% for the year.
At the time it seemed like investors, traders and even the guy at the corner store were all buying, hoarding, and lusting for gold.
But the stellar gains were short lived, and by the end of the year gold prices had fallen by nearly 20%.
Part of the striking decline in gold was due to the fact that the "smart" money that had once been amongst gold's biggest cheerleaders, sold it.
Some booked profits, some sold it to reflect gains in portfolios, others were forced to sell to meet margin requirements, and others wanted to start the New Year with a clean slate.
Gold Prices in 2012Enter 2012, and gold prices enjoyed a lustrous January, rising some 10%, helped in particular by Chinese New Year celebrations.
Gold has since languished as investors became more willing to take on added risk, delving more into equities. While gold prices foundered, the Dow rose 8% in the first quarter, the S&P 500 gained 12%, and the Nasdaq enjoyed a nearly 19% gain.
And more recently, not even gold's best friend, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, offered up much help.
Following the commencement of the two-day FOMC meeting last week, gold experienced a volatile day, but managed to end virtually flat from the previous trading session. The Fed left interest rates steady and extinguished hopes for immediate further monetary loosening measures.
Without a promise of more quantitative easing, long gold holders headed for the exits.
Nonetheless, many sophisticated gold traders are poised to pounce on gold with every dip.
Among them is the storied and accomplished commodities investor Jim Rogers.

Gold Prices Headed for $2,000 an Ounce
Gold prices this week picked up again but are still far from last year's record $1,920.30 an ounce, reached in September.
The most-active June contract settled on the Comex Friday at $1,660.20 an ounce, for a gain of 1.8%, or $30.10, since the April 5 market close.
Given the economic volatility in 2011, last year was a banner year for gold prices. Fears of global market turmoil helped push the yellow metal to record highs.
While the long-term bullish outlook for gold remains, short-term pressures have halted its steady climb.
"Gold has found more support recently, but it doesn't have all of the catalysts in place to be driven substantially higher yet," Suki Cooper, an analyst at Barclays Capital, told Reuters.
Here's why this dip isn't the start of a bearish gold year, but a chance to stock up before gold prices thrive and head to $2,000 an ounce.

Why Gold Prices Should Thrive
Last week was a challenging one for gold investors. Gold prices have been on the downside.
Although the yellow metal has been on a spectacular 11-year bull run, recent strength in the economy has some thinking gold's heyday is over.
As I often say, investing, like life, is about managing expectations-even throughout gold's decade-long rise, price action over the short term can go both ways.
It helps to look at what happens after short-term drops.
For example, looking at the past decade of one-day 5% declines in gold, you can see that this event is pretty rare.
In 2006, gold dropped more than 5% in a day only two times. In 2008, there were three such events.
Another one occurred at the end of this February. Take a look:

After months of anticipation, Burlington College has begun releasing information in regards to their master plan for expanding and developing the college. For years, Burlington College has taken pride in their ability to maintain a small-college environment with an emphasis on their inescapable views of Lake Champlain behind its main campus. However, Burlington College faculty and staff feel it is time for change.
Sunset and a Movie: Breakfast Club
Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall
Universal Pictures; Directed by John Hughes
Rated R; 95 minutes; 1985
A brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse are forced to spend a Saturday together in high school detention. The five bare their souls to each other then band together against their sadistic and insecure principal in this teen drama featuring the 80s 'Brat Pack.'
BC Alumni's Skyrocketing Success
Imagine graduating from college and having famous figures in the directing industry swarming at the chance to hire you. Well, for Mark Covino and Jeff Howlett, that dream became a reality. The two beat the odds of post-graduation blues spent working at a local restaurant bussing tables. Covino and Howlett took their education and hit the ground running with ideas for a film that would inspire people; "A Band Called Death" was born from this determination.
A Day In The Life of A Burlington College Faculty…
Picked up some fresh local baked goods at Koval's Bakery in Hinesburg to give my visit to Champlain Valley Union High School that little mark of distinction. At 9:00 I met Amy Wardwell and her 20 or so students as they worked on editing their final projects in the media lab. We had a good talk about their curriculum, the students' projects, facilities at CVU and what students were up to after graduation.
Study Abroad in Paris with BC
To put it plain and simple, people like to travel. The young and the restless are what young adults are branded as, resulting in their constant urge to take off without a moment's notice to a foreign place. Burlington College students feel this itch that wants to be scratched. This itch has caused hundreds of students at Burlington College to marvel at the chance to expand their horizons and submerge themselves in a culture that is completely opposite of the green mountain state they have known to call home. These particular students have taken the chance to experience the limitless op

Corpse Run 124: Your taxes at work
Finally got around to playing some TF2 recently... that is, after I downloaded like, three months worth of updates. Anyways, I was running around, shooting stuff, capping points, etc, when I came across a Soldier totin' this baby. Look at that friggin thing. Something out of a big budget sci-fi movie, that is. Seems like a bit of overkill to me. Rocket-launchers are fun and gruesome. Ray guns are an invitation for people to argue whether or not the weapon would cause bleeding, or cauterize the wound.
It's been a while since I had a customer say something that made my head explode. Either they've been getting smarter recently, or my overexposure to stupidity has instilled in me an immunity to the nonsense. That said, what a customer said last week really made my brain do a double take.
The guy had an old stereo unit that had a bunch of audio inputs, and was wondering if he could run a video signal through the device. I asked him if there were any video inputs (composite, s-video, coax, etc.) and he said no. I responded that he therefore couldn't run video through it.
He said, "Yeah, but I can do radio, so you must be wrong."
I... stopped dead in my tracks. Radio is audio, not video. Why would the ability to play radio serve as evidence that it could play video? I asked if he wanted to play only the audio from a video device through the stereo. He said no, he wanted the stereo to show video, and repeated that he should be able to do it cause it can play radio.

Midnight's merely blue,
but me, me, me, I'm
and through
sloe, cracked soot-
nicotine spat, licorice whip.
You can scratch, scratch, scratch
but I stay underskin true
to ebony, ink, crowberry, pitch;
hoist me up by my hooves
and shake till I'm shook, I'm still
chock full of coke, fuliginous
O there's swart in my soul,
coal by the bag,
cinders and slag,
scoriac grit, so please
come, comb
through my fleece with hands pallid
as snow and watch
how they grow tarry, raven,
stygian, ashed
or, if you wish, clean me with bleach
I won't
flinch, just char
down to a core of caliginous
pure carbon, atramentous,
utterly piceous,
shadowed, and starless,
each clumpity clump
and eclipse of my heart raptly
a woolgather dark.

Company Spotlight: Kona Blue Water Farms
Personally, we think that sushi is pretty fantastic stuff, and apparently so a lot of people since its popularity worldwide has grown exponentially in the last decade. In fact, did you know that it's become so popular that tuna, one of the staples of Japanese cuisine, is in danger of being over-fished?
There's a fishery out in Hawaii that aims to do something about this. Kona Blue is working to provide a sustainable source of sushi-grade yellowtail tuna. It's farm-raised but uses new techniques to avoid the environmental pitfalls of other attempts at tuna farming.
Much of tuna 'farming' in the world's oceans is actually a process of transferring immature wild tuna to pens in order to fatten them to the proper size and weight for consumption. In contrast, Kona Blue controls the entire life-cycle of the tuna, hatching spawn at a land-based facility and then transferring them to larger pens as they grow.
These ocean pens are 3,000-cubic-meters in volume and are situated in deep ocean water off the Kona Coast on the Big Island. The company website explains that strong currents flow through these pens, which do double duty keeping this area of the ocean clean and also better simulating the tuna's natural environment.
Kona Blue feeds their tuna a mix of "approximately 30% fish meal and fish oil from Peruvian anchovies (a sustainably managed fishery for the past 30 years) and trimmings from fish processed for human consumption, and 70% sustainable agricultural proteins and oils." No hormones hormones or antibiotics are used, and frequent lab tests indicate no detectable mercury in the fish.
Kona Blue continually stresses a commitment to sustainable farming for both the tuna and the ocean environment and keep their environmental monitoring logs and operation permits open to the public. If successful, Kona Blue and companies that follow similar models could ease the pressure off of deep-sea fishing and help refresh the population of wild tuna.
What do you think?
Here's a round-up of some other good seafood info:

sounds great -- how can i find out who sells their fish?
But interestingly, if this is the company that sells "kampachi", Whole Foods has decided to discontinue selling it because they felt the feed the company uses for the fish wasn't high enough quality. It was apparently recalled during the Chinese pet food scare.
Hi - I work in marketing for Kona Blue and just came across this post. Thanks for the interest in what we're doing... I wanted to clarify a couple of things. We are raising Kona Kampachi, which is a Hawaiian yellowtail (in the amberjack family), not a tuna. And Whole Foods discontinued carrying our fish when we changed the feed formulation to reduce the amount of fishmeal and fish oil, which was recommended to us by environmental groups. We included poultry meal in the reformulated food in order to meet the nutritional requirements of our fish. Whole Foods has a policy to not carry aquacultured fish that has been fed poultry meal, due to the fact that many of their vegetarian customers do not want land-based animals in the nutrient chain. (This decision had nothing to do with the Chinese melamine scare.) Our feed is very high quality, carefully monitored, and is highly sustainable. In fact, our Kona Kampachi has recently been ranked as a "Good Alternative" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program. This is the first time that a net pen marine aquacultured fish has been ranked anything other than "Red: Avoid." Again, thank you all for your interest! Aloha.

Italian election and Italian opinions
(Photo from Wikimedia commons contributed by Brodie319)
We endeavor to bring all aspects of Italian culture to life on our blog. Certainly, any breaking news about the Italian elections this year is relevant to the blog. Our aim is to expose the interesting stories related to this topic, and certainly not to take any kind of position on the parties or the election results. If I were in Italy right now, I am sure that I would be having very lively conversations with my Italian friends on this topic and it is in that vein that I wrote an article about the election.

Carswell Gould (CG) was chosen by Hampshire County Council (HCC) to deliver an integrated communications campaign that would reinvent and strengthen the position of Hampshire libraries. Working to a tight budget meant county-wide advertising and awareness activity was delivered via a strategy that dovetailed into the council's own communications activity and Discovery Centre Programme. Exciting, creative and targeted messaging encouraged people to challenge their perception of what and who libraries are for. The year of successful activity culminated in the launch of the new Basingstoke Discovery Centre (BDC).
We wanted to awaken people to the fact the libraries are changing. No longer are they boring, stuffy, dusty places where your'e told to be quiet. Changes have and continue to take place to create a modern and resource-rich experience. HCC libraries and discovery centres offer a huge range, from books to free internet and from computer games to e-reader downloads. Our work had to challenge people's own perceptions, in order to get them to try their local libraries again and see for themselves what a valuable resource they are. Key performance indicators of our work would be increased visitor numbers, issues and joiners, plus a change in perception.
We conceived and developed creative and key messaging to form the backbone of the years activity. The creative proposition was used consistently to increase recall and understanding and to offer best value to the client. Additional messaging and content was developed to inform people throughout the county what facilities are available in libraries. Once we had agreed the creative strategy a programme of activity was developed that included:
Media planning and negotiation that spread the budget for best value, covering key locations associated with or close to Hampshire libraries. Outdoor awareness - billboards, phone boxes, train stations, adshells, banners on concourses, four sheets and buses Internal awareness - lit shopping centre six sheets, banners and branding content shown on big screens, information screen content, lift doors and pull up banners in locations like museums and cinemas. Targeting of newspapers, magazines and local newsletters for adverts and editorial content. Facebook and online advertising plus serving of content to multiple websites and ePR. Social media to open up the reach and develop relationships with new audiences. Email marketing template development and creation serving content to e-newsletters. Event organisation and experiential marketing opportunities, competition developments and the creation of the 'Discovery Treasure Trail". Leaflets, posters, flyers, shelf wobblers and other forms of collateral. Negotiation and development of relationships with key groups and organisations; with the results of free supply of multiple acts and performers, products and vouchers for prize fund, like-for-like promotions and catering and exhibition content.
Basingstoke Discovery Centre:
The key activity CG undertook for HCC was the creation, organisation and delivery of the launch of Basingstoke Discovery Centre launch. We began by running teaser campaigns to intrigue our target audience about what was to going to be happening. We then developed an integrated communications plan for the launch, culminating in an official opening ceremony with a week-long opening event, top and tailed with two days of exciting events, competitions and activities including:
Pre-event publicity tied in with Oktoberfest, an annual family-focused event within Basingstoke. Advertising in and around Festival Place shopping centre, including billboards, banners, large posters, countdowns, shelf wobblers in stores and adverts in the lifts. Communication via Festival Place email and web channels, branding on multiple promotional channels including Hampshire County Council websites. Adverts placed in local newspapers and Vue magazine. Adverts were created for local radio. A promotional Facebook advert went live, inviting residents living within 25 miles of Basingstoke to come as VIP guests.
Throughout the two days, shoppers from Festival Place could get their photos taken with Captain Jack Sparrow and Lara Croft. These were then uploaded onto the Discovery Centre's Facebook page so people could tag themselves. A record of their contact details was kept for the Discovery Centre's database.
Music was sourced from a variety of local talent. Street dancers, local choirs, dance troops and an acoustic guitarist all took part. Craft workshops and interactive video games were set up to get children involved in their new library and a treasure hunt was set up so they could explore what had changed in the library. Prizes were awarded.
A 'Win Christmas' competition was set up and advertised, encouraging existing and new users to borrow a book, after which they were automatically entered into a draw. The prize package was compiled of gifts donated from stores within Festival Place, which included a snowboard, gym membership and an Xbox.
Launch event activity included:
Locally-sourced food Promotional lookalikes Gaming experience Discovery Treasure Trail Win Christmas competition Musical acts - Fat Boyz - break dance, hip-hop and street dancing group Hoolistics Dancer - Bee Varga, James Mitchell - acoustic guitarist, The Basingstoke Tappers - a tap dance company. Happy Feet Dance School - a dance company specialising in tap, modern jazz, street and hip hop. The Basingstoke Area Youth Choir - aged between 11 and 18, The Basingstoke Academy of Dancing - a dance company that focuses on a variety of dance styles for children and adults. The Basingstoke Ladies Choir - performed on the BBC's Last Choir Standing, The Author - Richard Reece, a hip hop artist from Basingstoke Funky Element - Marcus, a rap artist.
The Results:
In a tough year for libraries nationwide and set against severe cuts, our work helped Hampshire libraries develop and increase its value to the local community. Basingstoke Discovery Centre launch took place over one of the snowiest weeks in UK history, with many people staying indoors. With these considerations in mind, the performance of the campaign excellence and the returns and legacy made our work great value.
In the first week of opening 13,428 people visited Basingstoke Discovery Centre.
There was a 46% increase in issues of books and other content to users.
There was a 500% increase in people signing up for a library cards.
The Facebook page received 2,156 page views, 153 likes, 69 interactions with users and on one day, 3,183 page impressions (Nov 1 - Dec 8)
What the client said:
"Working with Carswell Gould on the launch of Basingstoke Discovery Centre was a joy. Their knowledge of media buying and event management coupled with stunning creative and design has meant that the centre was visited by over 13,000 in the first week of opening.
"Carswell Gould helped us get the most out of a modest budget by finding innovative media opportunities and negotiating the lowest prices on the media they booked. Most importantly they were successful in engaging with local businesses and local groups to encourage them to support the launch of the Discovery Centre. Many thanks."
Gareth Miller, Marketing Manager Culture Communities and Rural Affairs Hampshire County Council.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
A wall falls: Photos capture a human flood into Egypt
Sections of a border fence between the Gaza Strip and Egypt came down Wednesday and what was described as a frenzied and festive scene was shown in photos around the world.
From the National Post in Toronto to Granada Hoy in Spain to Público in Lisbon, Portugal, front pages pictured thousands of Palestinians sweeping into Egypt to buy things not available in Gaza. "People cleared out stores after militants blew up part of the border fence," The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville said.
The Austin (Texas) American-Statesman and An-Nahar in Beirut, Lebanon, used border photos as their main art. The International Herald Tribune in Paris printed two photos under the caption "Breaking out of Gaza." "Hamas planned blast for months," said Haaretz in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
Borders had been sealed and a blockade imposed since the Hamas movement took control of Gaza in June. The Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram looked at a wall as "A point of division" and in a thoughtful package illustrated three other famous dividers. In an analysis, the Los Angeles Times said: "As Gazans pour over border, a new reality flows with them."
In the U.S., economic news continued to be front and center, whether it was Wall Street's roller-coaster performance, negotiations over a stimulus package or the growing federal deficit. Headline writers continued to have a field day. "Sell, sell, sell turns into buy, buy, buy," The Oregonian in Portland said. "Wall St. whiplash ends day up 299," The Courier-Journal in Louisville said. "Wall St. U-Turn Pulls U.S. Stocks Out of Nosedive," The Washington Post said. The headline that got the most attention from coffee drinkers came from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which noted that a Seattle-based corporate giant was trying a new approach: "Starbucks — For a Buck."
Sports sneaked onto front pages, as The New York Times noted "Olympic Teams Vying to Defeat Beijing's Smog," The Arizona Republic in Phoenix prepared Super Bowl-goers for "Super Expensive" and the Rocky Mountain News pictured the Winter X Games in an "Air-Raising" photo.

Durham Police are investigating a fatal shooting during a party early Sunday morning at an apartment complex near North Carolina Central University.
Residents of the Campus Crossings apartment complex said a fight broke out at a party early Sunday morning. They say there were at least 50 people there when someone fired shots in the air and the party goers scrambled to leave.
"Everybody ran and everybody was like, 'We have to go, we have to go,'" explained Siobahn Small, who attended the party. "The cops showed up, and EMS, then everybody was just standing around I guess just waiting to see what was going to happen."
Around 3:48 a.m., officers responded to the shooting call and found Demario Lucas, 23, of Durham, lying in a breezeway with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second male was taken to the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to the ankle.
No charges have been filed at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call Investigator S. Pate at (919) 560-4440, ext. 29332 or CrimeStoppers at (919) 683-1200.

Good news today from the Oilers, as negotiations for the kid center are underway. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is still a teenager but his sublime talent in the middle is one of the key elements of this young club's future.
I can see the contract coming in at or near the Hall/Eberle deals, but would be pleased if it was longer (let's be greedy, dammit!), perhaps into the '20s. Some may argue he deserves less, I would refer you to his rookie season and all those incredible passes–this guy is an outstanding young talent! Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is an outstanding talent, a cornerstone block of a strong foundation. This is great news after a long day.
The Oilers sent away 10 more players today, no surprises but still no Cameron Abney or Ty Rimmer. Minor leaguers R Matt Ford, R Austin Fyten, C CJ Stretch and L Derek Nesbitt sent away along with prospects:
- D Martin Gernat: Those who rip MBS forget about this gem, taken in the deep dark recesses of the 2011 draft (5th round, 122nd overall). He's a tall, rail thin kid who may need as many as three seasons in the south but there's some nice arrows on this player dating back to his first season in the WHL. Plenty of progress in junior from Gernat.
- D David Musil: Maybe the most watched draft pick Edmonton's made in a decade, Musil is like that Seinfeld episode where the girl looks pretty or ugly depending on how the light shines. Musil has the ability to play defense, but his foot speed is a major issue.
- C Travis Ewanyk: Turns pro and goes to OKC with questions about his offense. He's a physical player but he's going to have to score goals to get above the event horizon at the pro level.
- G Olivier Roy: He got a chance in an NHL game, the results were poor. Roy is the best prospect goalie in the system, but it's also true that goaltending is the greatest area of need. He's going to have some company by spring in the prospect department.
- G Tyler Bunz: I'm not certain what to expect from him this season. Bunz had a difficult time with pro hockey one year ago.
- D Joey Leach: Interesting player, he showed well early in camp and it'll be interesting to see where he plays this winter.
The big mystery is Abney's remaining on the club. I have no answer for that one. None.

Publication: The Day
Groton - The teacher who was critically injured in an accident at RHAM Middle School last week is still fighting for her life at Hartford Hospital, and her friends and family have set up a fund to help while she is unable to work multiple jobs.
Dawn Mallory of Groton was struck by a car that pulled into the school bus loading and unloading zone, stopped, then tried to back out about 7 a.m. Friday, state police said. The car had initially been traveling in the parking lot between the high school and middle school, police said. The accident remains under investigation.
Region 8 schools Superintendent Robert Siminski said Mallory, 65, walking behind the car, was hit by the tailgate and then hit her head on the pavement. She suffered bleeding in the brain and remained in critical condition at Hartford Hospital Tuesday.
Siminski said counselors were on hand to help students and staff, and had been there since Friday. A couple of students witnessed the accident, and "the counselors are handling the situation," he said.
The school, in Hebron, began having a police presence during the morning drop-off on Monday, he said.
Mallory has worked with the Region 8 school district since 1997, teaches math at Three Rivers Community College in Norwich and holds a job helping people file taxes.
Friends and family members set up a fund to help her, which can be located at www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/ry64/dawn-mallory-s-helper-fund.
The fund had 121 donations totaling $5,880 of the requested $8,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
Mallory has two sons, including Ledyard Police Officer Eric Bushor, who formerly worked for the Groton Town Police, Ledyard Lt. Mike Finkelstein said.
He said officers have been with Bush or and his family at the hospital "pretty much around the clock since Friday."
Kathy Williams, who works at the Groton Senior Center and also at Three Rivers Community College, said she was shocked when she heard what happened. "My heart just stopped," Williams said. "Because she is such a lovely woman. She always had a smile. ... She was caring if a student had an issue. She was always right there."
Donna Perry, who lives next door to Mallory, said Mallory helped Perry's son fill out his financial aid package for college, then advised him to stay in school and earn his advanced degrees.
"She loved teaching," Perry said of her neighbor. "There was not even an ending year for her to retire. She loved it, and she got up at the crack of dawn."
Mallory had recently finished building a deck on her house and held a yearly party for family and friends to watch fireworks on the July 4 weekend, Perry said. Perry said Mallory also had two or three grandchildren, and she would pull out the plastic pool, squirt guns and toys when they visited.
"It's like you wake up to go to work and you just don't know," Perry said. "You just don't know. Life is not guaranteed. ... You know that saying, 'Stop and smell the roses?' Everyone says it's a cliché, but people need to pay attention. Because she left for work, and she's not home."
Siminski said the accident last Friday follows two other tragedies involving students, who also died in traffic accidents.
