Last January, Michael Grimm, a forty-year-old United States congressman from Staten Island, sat for an interview in his Washington office with Greta Van Susteren, of Fox News. Grimm, a freshman representative who had recently been named to the House Financial Services Committee, is a former marine and F.B.I. agent. He has blue eyes and perfectly combed dark hair. An American flag was positioned behind him. Van Susteren quickly turned the conversation to the eleven years that he had spent at the F.B.I., which had been the centerpiece of his campaign. "You went undercover?" she asked. "Deep undercover, yes," Grimm said. He was, he added, "the first and only F.B.I. agent to successfully infiltrate Wall Street."
Van Susteren asked him if he had ever slipped and revealed his true identity. "Not once," he said, smiling. He then described the rigors of undercover work. "People think the F.B.I. goes out with this big net, and whoever gets caught up in it, but that's not how it works. We do a tremendous amount of investigating before we are out there as an undercover. So we know the crimes they've committed in advance." When she introduced the segment for her live audience, Van Susteren said, "Our next guest sounds more like James Bond than a congressman."
Grimm started working as an F.B.I. agent in 1995. His "most notable case," as he described it to Van Susteren, was called Wooden Nickel, and it began in 2002. Working out of a corner office in the World Financial Center, Grimm adopted the persona of Michael Garibaldi—nicknamed Mikey Suits, for his impeccable dress—a Mob-connected stock and currency trader who ran a hedge fund called Centurion Consulting. The main investigation concerned a company that was suspected of illegally manipulating currency markets. Some months into the case, the F.B.I. added a further target: Albert Santoro, a thirty-one-year-old lawyer from Queens, who had recently come into contact with a man named Josef von Habsburg, one of the Bureau's more colorful—and complicated—paid informants.
Von Habsburg, whose full name was Josef Franz Prach von Habsburg-Lothringen, was in his early forties and was known to his acquaintances as an international businessman and the heir to an Austrian royal fortune. He spoke with a vaguely European accent and wore blocky designer eyeglasses and flashy three-piece suits. He would talk of spending weekends skiing in Switzerland or visiting family castles in Croatia. Von Habsburg claimed to be well connected in the financial industry, and he was a regular source of tips and targets for the F.B.I.'s New York office. He handed off potential criminals to undercover agents, like Grimm, who ran stings and busted them as they committed illegal acts.
Santoro, von Habsburg's mark on this occasion, was a stocky man with slicked-back hair. He had been an amateur race-car driver, gone to law school, and become a Brooklyn district attorney. Now he ran a solo legal practice downtown, and he was struggling. For months after September 11th, his office had been cordoned off. He lost business and fell tens of thousands of dollars behind on car payments, credit-card debts, and rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Queens. His wife worked as a bartender four nights a week. He was desperate for clients.
Santoro had met von Habsburg through a mutual friend in September, 2002, at a night club. Afterward, von Habsburg treated him to a series of extravagant meals at the Four Seasons and the Waldorf, and told him about his global empire of hotels and other businesses. Von Habsburg flattered Santoro about his business acumen, and said that he wanted to hire him to help restructure his companies. Von Habsburg promised Santoro a luxury apartment and a Ferrari. "He said he was going to 'make me' in New York," Santoro recalled.
In mid-October, von Habsburg arranged to introduce Santoro to Grimm, posing as Garibaldi. The three met for lunch at the St. Regis Hotel, and Santoro commented on Garibaldi's polished bearing. "You look like a federal agent," he observed. Von Habsburg called Garibaldi his "right-hand man" and the "brains" responsible for his foreign-currency business. Santoro admitted to Garibaldi that he knew little about currency exchange. ("I thought he was talking about those little places at the airport," Santoro told me later.) But, when he mentioned that he had helped a German musician open bank accounts in the U.S., Garibaldi seemed interested.
Santoro began going to meetings at Garibaldi's office at the World Financial Center, and, before long, Garibaldi was speaking openly about transferring money overseas illegally. Santoro, eager to impress, made audacious claims, which the F.B.I. captured on tape. He told Garibaldi that he could wire money to Central and South America without it being traced. He said he could convert cash into gold and smuggle it out of the country in special shipping containers. Through the fall, he continued meeting with von Habsburg as well, generally in strip clubs, night clubs, and fancy restaurants. The Prince, as Santoro began calling him, told him not to take Garibaldi's talk seriously. "We were all trying to outdo and out-bullshit each other," Santoro recalled. He had a sense that something was wrong, but he was enjoying the life style and saw no reason to extricate himself. "We'd be sitting there like kings in a night club, drinking Cristal," he said. "It wasn't costing me anything."
In November, 2002, Garibaldi told Santoro that a friend who sold steroids had a hundred thousand dollars in cash that he needed to transfer out of the country. In late December, Garibaldi suddenly informed Santoro that he'd obtained the money. Garibaldi took it in a leather suitcase to Santoro's office. They counted it, and Santoro locked it in a cabinet.

Terrific program... I heard this when it was broadcast the first time and recorded it, but I have had guilt pangs about playing the tape in classes I teach.
So thanks for putting it online... and for continuing to think about the "transparency" issues involved in alterxxx changxxxx correxxxx fixing the words coming out of dumxxx inarticxxx anyone's mouth!
In fact, there should be a link straight to this program from the http://npr.org/about page.
This is my favorite OTM piece ever, which is saying something in a consistently interesting and enlightening show. You guys are absoloutely terrific. Keep it up!

SHAPE UP ( Shaping Healthy Attitudes toward Personal Exercise) offers St. Scholastica community members an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a fitness advisor to help them meet their fitness goals. Graduate students from the Exercise Physiology program meet with individuals and develop personalized exercise plans tailored to meet each individual's personal fitness goals.
Wondering which classes are offered next semester? Looking for a CRN for regisration? Visit our online course schedule.
What are our graduates doing after they complete their degree? Where are they working? Here's a sample. Click on a name below to expand.
I graduated from the M.S. Exercise Physiology program at St. Scholastica in 2011. The professors' teaching styles and availability to the students were paramount to my wonderful educational experience. The class settings and lab experiences allowed for open dialogue to address questions on anything that was not fully understood.
I am the coordinator of the High Energy Advanced Training program at St Cloud Orthopedics, which affords me the opportunity to work with young athletes ranging in ages from 12 through college age. The program is dedicated to athletic performance enhancement and I am responsible for creating and adjusting programs to suit the athletes' needs. I also work with older adults who would like to improve their fitness levels to become healthier.
My education at St. Scholastica provided me with the confidence and ability to answer questions the athletes may have and to adapt to their specific needs. Without the classes, lab experiences and testing I experienced at St. Scholastica, I would not be able to be in the position I hold.
The professors and intimate class sizes at the College of St. Scholastica helped me to excel through the program and become a successful Clinical Exercise Physiologist. The education and internship hours built directly into the master's program have led to my positions working as a Cardiac Rehab therapist for Fairview Hospitals and a Cardiac Exercise Physiologist in Stress Testing for North Memorial Hospitals.
As a Cardiac Rehab therapist, I enjoy teaching others about the process and effects of heart disease. I see patients post stent-placement, heart transplant and valve replacement and help them to understand the physiology behind their heart disease and how lifestyle improvements may keep them from having to see me again! I monitor them as they exercise, create exercise prescriptions and aid in the development of a home program specific to each patient that will allow them to live a longer, healthier life with known heart disease.
As a Cardiac EP in Stress Testing, I am responsible for assessing the appropriateness of a test based on a patient's history and physical as well as running the test to determine the likelihood of obstructive heart disease in each patient. To do this, I use graded exercise protocols and medications to stress the cardiovascular system and I am responsible for using 12-lead EKG, blood pressure response, heart rate response, oxygen saturation and the patient's symptoms to determine when and why to end the test.
Without the education I received from the MS program in Exercise Physiology at The College of St. Scholastica, I could not even dream of performing the tasks I do as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. My time at St. Scholastica has given me the ability to do what I enjoy and to use my education on a daily basis.
I graduated from The College of St. Scholastica in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology. My education at CSS has led me to a Master's of Education in Applied Kinesiology at the University of Minnesota, with an emphasis in sport and exercise science. My undergraduate degree from CSS has helped be very successful in my pursuit of a master's degree. The University of Minnesota has just revitalized their human and sports performance laboratory. With the extensive laboratory experience I gained at CSS I have been able to make a significant contribution to this process. At a large research institution there is much less time for instruction on protocols and how to use the equipment so my previous knowledge has been very useful.
While going to school I founded Superior Performance by Kask. It is a small endurance coaching business that works with a variety of athletes. Through this I coach athletes in many endurance sports as well as run summer programs for Nordic skiers in college and high school. My undergraduate degree coupled with what I have learned recently in my graduate program allows me to help my clients reach their performance goals. With so many coaches relying on only their training experience to coach others having a physiology background has made it possible for me to a be a much more versatile and successful coach.
My education at The College of St. Scholastica has led to great opportunity and growth working with medical devices. I am a Product Specialist for Exercise and Gas Exchange Testing at a company called Medical Graphics Corp. I work with some of the same devices that are used in the undergraduate and graduate labs by Exercise Physiology students at CSS!
The overall function of my position is to support those products that have helped build the company I work for, but also explore, design, implement, and test new product ideas specifically related to exercise testing at organizations like hospitals, clinics, universities, and health and fitness facilities.
The professors at CSS helped provide me with an education that turned me into a well-versed and credible Exercise Physiologist. I take great pride in helping our customers treat their patients/clients with our current equipment, while at the same time working hard to develop new ideas that will take exercise testing and the field of Exercise Physiology to the next level!
I am the Fitness Coordinator for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Center for Health and Fitness. The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) has been the No. 1 rehab hospital in the United States for the past 15 years. The Health and Fitness Center is a 4,000-square-foot facility specifically created for people with physical disabilities, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, amputees, stroke and blind individuals. Its purpose is to provide an arena for individuals to develop, maintain, and improve their physical well being. My duties at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago consist of managing the staff, interns, and fitness center, evaluating patients, designing exercise prescriptions, teaching educational sessions to staff, interns, patients, doctors, and therapists, teaching Arthritis and Parkinson's aerobic classes, developing at home exercise video's for persons with physical disabilities through the National Center on Physical Activity and Disability (NCPAD), being a lead investigator in two grant studies, along with several other miscellaneous duties.
My Master's in Exercise Physiology from St. Scholastica has allowed me to give my patients the best possible analysis, treatment delivery, rehabilitation, and professional guidance possible.
I am a strength and conditioning coach in Duluth, Minn., and founded Impact Sports Training in 2006, a business dedicated to the performance enhancement of athletes. We work with local high school and college teams as well as with many other high school and collegiate athletes. Personal training is another element that has evolved into a key component of the business. Before coming back to Duluth, I served for two years as the director of Strength and Conditioning at PerformanceONE Athletic Development in Columbus, Ohio, as well as the head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena Football League.
In 2003, I was offered an internship and worked for the U.S. Olympic Committee at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y., and trained athletes from both winter and summer sports. In addition to Olympic athletes, I've had the opportunity to train athletes from the NHL, NFL, NFL-Europe, and MLB, and serve as a lecturer and strength coach for USA Hockey.
I am certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and certified by USA Weightlifting as a Club Coach (USAW).
The M.A. in Exercise Physiology I earned from St. Scholastica has certainly helped in my career advancement. I realized, however, that I did not want to spend my career in a clinical setting, so I took my degree and went a different way. I got to know as many people as I could in the field of strength and conditioning, got as much experience as I could regardless of what the pay was, and made things happen. There were many times when I volunteered my time to develop relationship and gain a little experience. What it did was open a lot of doors for me. Not long after graduating I was offered a position as a director of a large facility. I was offered the job mostly because of who I knew. Networking is very important and can certainly create opportunities. One piece of advice for those about to graduate, don't expect people to start offering you jobs just because you have a degree. You need to work for it, and it might take a while. Just like a tool, a degree is worthless unless you use it.
I am an Exercise Science instructor at Winston-Salem State University, N.C. I teach several courses including functional anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, sports nutrition, and a few others. I am also responsible for health promotion in regards to Phase III and IV cardiac rehabilitation as well as the application of physiological training principles to cardiac rehabilitation, adult fitness clients and athletes.
My EXP degree has helped me reach my goal of teaching exercise physiology in a collegiate setting by giving me a strong background in the exercise physiology field. It has given me the ability to extend my knowledge of the effects of exercise on the body to my students, whom I hope will use that knowledge to improve the uniqueness and need for the exercise physiologist profession.
Soon after completing my graduate degree, I was hired as a consultant for an occupational wellness company. My duties include group presentations and one-on-one interventions with high-risk employees relating to cardio-pulmonary disease, obesity and diabetes. My coverage area includes the Duluth area and central Minnesota, and may expand into the Twin Cities metro area in the near future. My credential as a registered dietitian enabled me to get this position, but my graduate degree increased my hourly contract rate by $10-15 per hour. Also, when it was discovered that my M.A. was in exercise physiology, I was asked to participate in planning exercise challenges. My career interests lean toward chronic disease, and since most of the high risk employees I work with are at least 35 years old, I'm able to work with the types of health issues which interest me most. These include chronic joint pain and neuropathy related to diabetes and obesity, and other limitations caused by cardiac and pulmonary disease.
I work for PRACS Institiute Ltd. It is the largest privately owned pharmaceutical research facility in North America. We do various types of studies for various pharmaceutical companies, and it is my responsibility to make sure these studies are completed correctly, successfully, and with high quality assurance. When completing my thesis at St. Scholastica, it was my responsibility to make sure all testing was done correctly as it was designed. In order for the findings to be deemed factual, it was imperative that every tiny detailed was observed. If not, then there can be no validation to the testing or findings. It is this learning and training that helped me understand the foundation with my current employment, and what makes me successful in all I do.
I am living in Highlands Ranch, Colo. I have started my own personal training business in which I train a variety of clients, from pro athletes to heart patients to youths. My clients have been (and will continue to be) impressed with my vast knowledge in the field of EXP I gained from my time at CSS. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through NSCA.
I've developed a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit over the years and have started a couple of unique fitness-related businesses. With a couple of partners, I have been building Animal Fitness and Running Ads here in the Denver area as well as across the country. If you want to learn more check us out at www.runningads.net. I am always trying to come up with new ideas to work on. I feel confident that being in a state where fitness is the focus of many, I will find success in whatever I choose to do.
An M.A. in Exercise Physiology has provided me with a sound knowledge base for a career in electrophysiology. I work in the Electrophysiology Lab at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. I assist Electrophysiologists during pacemaker/ICD implantation, monitor electrograms for diagnostic data and operate the catheter stimulation system during electrophysiology studies and ablations. The EXP degree has allowed me to obtain a job that provides an opportunity for continuous learning and essentially improves the quality of life for patients with arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy.

Today is the annual Calhoun County meet.
And next week is sectionals.
But Thursday, it was about the seniors.
"They've all gotten better, and they're all pretty much first-year wrestlers and have improved," Panthers coach Matt Tanner said of his seniors. "I'm just proud of them for sticking it out. You know how you are with your seniors, they've all put it in and given it all they've got, and we'll see how it goes next week."
On Thursday afternoon, Wellborn had an in-school dual match against Piedmont and Saks, while also recognizing select wrestlers on Senior Day. It's the second consecutive year for the special event.
"I just think that aspect of filling the gym got them pumped up," Tanner said.
Wellborn was led by several wrestlers — seniors and underclassmen alike. Matt King and senior Evan Entrekin won in two separate weight classes, and fellow senior Matt Smith won easily against Saks and Piedmont in the 138-pound class.
For Smith, though, after finishing as the state runner-up the past three years, bigger things are his focus.
"We've worked with him and he's been in the weight room a little bit, and he's done some things that can help him get there," Tanner said, "So all he has to do is do it."
But before state, Smith and Wellborn must qualify at next week's sectional meet at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
And before that, they must focus on the other five teams in Calhoun County, some of which the Panthers are familiar with and one they haven't wrestled all season.
"We haven't seen Oxford all year, but we've seen everybody else at least once, some a few times," Tanner said. "It's going to be interesting how the guys do against their guys."
However, the overall favorite in the tournament seems to be Weaver, which is ranked as one of the top teams in the state.
"Weaver has a good program. (Andy) Fulmer has been over there for a while and they have a good youth program over there," Tanner said. "Their guys know what's going on, so by the time they earn a spot they're ready to go.
"There's no doubt they're doing a great job, but there are some things we're trying to start here to get back to the times when Wellborn was like Weaver."
Although Tanner spoke confidently about the Panthers' chances against the other three teams, he noted he doesn't have a wrestler in each weight class. Despite being strong at 106 with King, 113 with seventh-grader Austin McQueen and 138 with Smith, there's no way to pick up points when there's no wrestler for a class.
"For the matches that we wrestle, we're good," Tanner said. "But we give up about 36-42 points in forfeits, so we can't really compete in a dual tournament, which county is."
The county meet is set to start today at 5:30 p.m. at Piedmont.

Kids of today will never know the magic of the 1980s arcade. It was a time when you could walk in and witness something you've never seen before. Not just addictive new games, but incredible technology that was years ahead of anything you could play at home. And best of all, you could experience it for little more than a quarter a play. It was a magical time.
These days the arcade is all dancing games and redemption machines. The bright neon lights and loud sounds remain, but the sense of wonder and excitement is long gone. Forget about the days of having a sophisticated game room, today's arcade is little more than a carnival. It's a depressing relic from the past, gone the way of soda shops and movie rental stores.
For years, I wondered what it would be like to own and manage my own arcade. Not a modern day zombie arcade, but a classic shop during the heyday of the video game boom. Thanks to Firebase (the Canada-based company behind Orbitron: Revolution), I now have a chance to put my arcade management know-how to the test.
Arcadecraft is the 1980s arcade simulator you never knew you wanted. For a mere three dollars (or the exact amount of money it would cost to actually beat Ikari Warriors), you can take control of your very own arcade and turn it into a million dollar business. It's like Theme Park, only with fake Frogger machines instead of dangerous roller coasters.
The year is 1980 and you have a sweet new location, a brand new sign (with a name you picked out) and a twelve thousand dollar loan. The goal is to buy enough new arcade machines to bring gamers of all ages to your brand new business. Your choice is limited at the start, but with each new month brings a new cabinet from one of the fictional companies -- Forti, Wave, Monaco, Points, Camping and Millions.
Twelve thousand dollars doesn't go as far as you might think. Even worse, buying each new machine is a gamble. You never know if gamers are going to embrace each new title, and it can be tough when you're putting your last few thousand dollars towards a dud. You'll have to pay close attention to the trends and monitor interest in each type of game. And if worse comes to worst, make sure to sell the unpopular cabinet before it loses its market value.
It's a juggling act for the first two years. Not only will you have to keep your arcade stocked with new machines, but you're also in charge of collecting the coins and repairing the units. On top of the usual chores, you'll also have a chance to set game prices and difficulty, maximizing profits and adjusting your stock for the changing time. Before long you're adding neon to the walls and buying a vending machine.
Don't think that your time as an arcade owner is going to be easy. Things start out simple enough, but problems quickly escalate out of control. People will grow bored with your arcade if you aren't replenishing the stock of machines. Also, you'll have to deal with ruffians who come in and damage your machines. On top of all this, you'll also have to contend with the burgeoning home console market. And don't forget to collect the quarters; it's the only way you're going to pay down that twelve thousand dollar loan.
Over time you'll grow your little arcade from just a few cabinets to dozens. High score seekers will frequent your establishment and video game collectors will spend top dollar on old machines. You only have six years to make the most out of your arcade, so pay close attention to trends and be ready to weather some rocky times in the industry.
Arcadecraft does break the illusion with a few annoying problems. On the serious side, I found the game to be more than a little unstable, crashing multiple times throughout the course of the early 1980s. The game does auto-save from time to time, so I never felt like I lost much progress. This taught me to stay vigilant and manually save more than I normally would.
The game is at its most exciting when you're worried about the two-year loan. Unfortunately, there isn't as much to do after that point. There are a few story beats that make 1982 - 1986 interesting, but by that time I was far too busy racing around and collecting money from 30 different machines. If only I could hire more employees so I could get back to what I enjoy doing, pouring over every new arcade game that comes out.
There came a point where I started to run out of things to do. I customized the walls, pillars and floors early. Same goes for adding a vending machine and jukebox. With the exception of two annual additions (a thousand dollar pumpkin and Christmas tree), there isn't much to do after a certain point. It's even more disappointing that the developers couldn't find a way to neatly wrap up the story. You can play out all of 1986, but in January the game abruptly informs you that the game is over.
Arcadecraft has a fantastic premise that needs to be expanded on. The fun of designing and managing your own arcade is certainly worth the three dollars, but there's so much more that can be done with this series. This story ends long before the birth of the fighting game scene, which would later turn into an era of dance games and redemption machines. Forget Grand Theft Auto V, Arcadecraft 2 just became my most anticipated sequel.
More On:
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company for review.
Class Leading
It's like Theme Park, only with fake Frogger machines instead of dangerous roller coaster rides. It doesn't quite nail the ending, but Arcadecraft is one of the most engaging simulators I've played in a long time. This lays the groundwork for what could be an amazing sequel.

Depending on the pattern you choose to incorporate, it has the power to bring so much to the table in terms of defining your style and adding some extra layers to your design. One of our current go-to patterns to do just that is polka dots. If you opt for a bolder pattern with larger dots, the vibe feels very retro (add bright lipstick and a birdcage veil too). In contrast, polka dots can also veer toward traditional if the pattern is limited to a single color (think white on white or Swiss dots).
If polka dots feel like the perfect fit for your wedding, check out the slideshow for our favorite spotted ideas.

Buffalo >Food & Dining > Frank's Sunny Italy Family Restaurant
2491 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY | Directions 1421642.951829 -78.868695
Mon., Sun. 12am - 10pm;Tue. - Sat. 11am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: North Delaware
Yummy – The food at Frank's is very good. It is inexpensive, and the portions are huge. I have always had good service here.
Good food, prices and portions – Frank's is a Buffalo classic. The food is always good, the portions huge (which doesn't mean stuff yourself, it means have leftovers all weekend). The atmosphere is great for families or groups, but the place doesn't have a very cozy or romantic feel. Parking isn't a problem, either - to the left of the building (as you face it from Delaware Ave), there's a small lot with a bunch of extra spaces that are almost always empty because no one knows about them. The Sicilian pizza is great. One note: the takeout food can be a little hit-or-miss. They usually have great, saucy, crisp wings, but sometimes they are weak or soggy, and sometimes they skimp on the meat and cheese in subs. Guess it depends who's working that night.
Great sauce, huge portions, reasonable prices – I don't understand the one negative review of Frank's.... it sounds like one of those uppity italian food afficionados who like gross delicacies that people only eat to one up themselves on others. Frank's is what Buffalo italian food is all about. It's saucey, they're large portions, and everything is expected to be delicious. The sauce is a sweeter sauce, but the crowd on Friday nights is evidence to it's hit-factor in Buffalo over the years. The alfredo is excellent as well-- not too creamy and not watered down. The tortellini alfredo comes with SO MANY TORTELLINIS.... If you're hungry and in the mood for homey family italian, come to Frank's!
italian – I have a friend whose father is from Italy: the father serves lovely, al dente spaghetti with ONE meatball and a VERY LIGHTLY SAUCED plate.
Differently, at Frank's, I haven't had such bad, overcooked Italian food since I lived with my mother. Who was not Italian.
No question why incredibly huge people eat here. The servings are enough for a family of ten. I could say more but prefer to remain polite.
The Best Italian Food Around! – This is the best Italian food and service I have ever had anywhere in the U.S. You never leave hungry, but your taste buds are ruined, because no other Italian resteraunt will satify you ater eating at Frank's!
They do an OUTSTANDING job for special events, we recently held an anniversary party for my Aunt and Uncle there, and let me tell you - they spoiled us rotten!
I live in Columbus, OH, but have family there in Buffalo. Since eating at Frank's let me tell you....I find alot more reasons to come up there for visists now!!!
Try the Whole Menu – Huge portions. Nobody leaves without styrofoam. Excelllent quality Italian food.
best of the best – Food is great and plenty of it. Excellent variety, best antipasto in town.
Thatsa Nice – The best itailian food I've eaten anywhere !! The amounts are generous and the service is quick.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The James Madison University women's basketball team hosted Hofstra in front of a packed house of local elementary school students and their families as part of Duke Dog Reading Day on Jan. 27 in the Convocation Center.
The children in attendance, as a part of a season-high crowd of 2,821, earned their admission to the game through participating in the Duke Dog Reading Program, a program that encourages students to read at local city and county schools.
Each student that reaches their goal is given a complimentary game ticket. They also get to meet the JMU athletes when they visit the local schools to read and interact with the children.
"It really personalizes the players as just another person. They get to say Nikki Newman is just like me and came to read at my school," said women's basketball Director of Operations Tim Clark.
In addition to the students individually receiving complimentary game tickets, any classroom that meets their assigned reading goal receives a signed women's basketball team poster.
"It's great to go out and play in front of the younger kids who look up to us. It means so much to them and it's a great feeling to be a figure they look up to as a role model," said junior guard Kirby Burkholder.
The women's basketball team will host another Duke Dog Reading Day against George Mason on March 3 at 2 p.m. in the Convocation Center.

OBJECTIVES: The objective is to evaluate the use of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) as a screening tool for determining the causes of the non-justified days to help hospitals to decrease the length of stay while preserving the quality of care. METHODS: Three successive cross-sectional surveys were conducted from 2003 till 2005, in 23 Belgian hospitals. During this period, 10921 days were audited by means of the AEP. This study is focused on adult acute non-intensive care units. The appropriateness of each day of the sample was assessed, and for those considered as inappropriate, the reasons explaining the prolongation of the stay were investigated. RESULTS: The proportion of inappropriate days was 24.61%. There is a high variability across specialties and hospitals. Regarding inappropriate days, the analysis of causes of prolongation, globally, by bed index or by hospital, indicated clearly internal and external factors that lengthen stays. The most frequent reasons are waits for an examination (22%) and the lack of extra-hospital structures (31%). CONCLUSIONS: The use of AEP as a tool of internal audit to measure the proportion of non-justified days and their causes turns out to be possible and the obtained results has provided some accurate and useful information for the participating, and allowed them to take concrete decisions which lead to shrinking of the length of hospital stay.

Development and validation of nursing resource weights for the Belgian Nursing Minimum Dataset in general hospitals: a Delphi questionnaire survey approach.

BACKGROUND: Internationally, nursing is not well represented in hospital financing systems. In Belgium a nursing weight system exists to adjust budget allocation for differences in nurse staffing requirements, but there is a need for revision. Arguments include the availability of a nursing minimum dataset and the adverse consequences of the current historically based nursing weight system. OBJECTIVES: The development and validation of nursing resource weights for the revised Belgium nursing minimum dataset (NMDS). DESIGN: Two independent cross sectional Delphi-surveys. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample of 222 head nurses from 69 Belgian hospitals participated in the cross sectional survey methods. To assess validity 112 patient case records from 61 nursing wards of 35 Belgian general hospitals representing general, surgical, pediatric, geriatric and intensive care were selected. METHODS: Nursing resource weights were constructed based on Delphi survey results by NMDSII intervention. The patient case Delphi survey results were used as the primary source for validation. A series of additional validation measures were calculated, based on the different patient classification systems. Finally, three validated nursing resource weighting systems were compared to the constructed NMDSII weighting system: the use of 'Closon', 'Ghent' and WIN weights. RESULTS: A coherent set of nursing resource weights was developed. The comparison of nurse resource weights, based on the survey per NMDS intervention versus the survey on patient cases, yielded high correlations: r=0.74 to r=0.97 (p<0.01) between three case rating questions, as an indication of reliability in terms of internal consistency, and r=0.90 (p<0.01) between summed intervention weights and patient case weights, as an indication of criterion validity in terms of concurrent validity. Other concurrent validity measures based on summed intervention weights versus patient classification dependency weights showed a correlation ranging from r=0.14 to r=0.74. The correlation of summed intervention weights with the Closon, Ghent and WIN weights ranged from r=0.93 to r=0.96 (p<0.01), as a third indication of concurrent validity. CONCLUSIONS: A system of valid nursing resource weights has been developed. The system should be further validated within an international context. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 65 (12 ULg)

The Ministry of Public Health commissioned a research project to the Catholic University of Leuven and the University Hospital of Liege to revise the Belgian Nursing Minimum Dataset (B-NMDS). The study started in 2000 and will end with the implementation of the revised B-NMDS in January 2007. The study entailed four major phases. The first phase involved the development of a conceptual framework based on a literature review and secondary data analysis. The second phase focused on language development and development of a data collection tool. The third phase focused on data collection and validation of the new tool. In the fourth phase the validity and reliability of the dataset was tested. The new dataset is without avail if it is not leading to new information. Four applications of the dataset has been defined from the beginning: evaluation of the appropriateness of stay (AEP) in the hospital, nurse staffing, hospital financing and quality management. The aim of this paper is to describe how the B-NMDS can contribute to each of these applications. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 105 (11 ULg)
Etude des disparités de la chirurgie élective en Belgique

La chirurgie élective recouvre les interventions qui peuvent normalement être programmées calmement sans danger immédiat pour la santé du patient. Naïvement, on pourrait s'attendre à ce que cette caractéristique contribue à des décisions d'intervention mûrement réfléchies et donc à peu de disparités entre les pratiques. Et pourtant on découvre dans la littérature internationale que le lieu de résidence du patient influence nettement la probabilité de subir certaines interventions. Ces différences sont-elles aussi observées en Belgique ? Quelle intervention, de la cataracte, du syndrome du canal carpien ou de la sténose carotidienne, présente la plus grande variabilité ? Où fait-on le plus d'arthroscopies en Belgique ? La prothèse totale de hanche et la prothèse totale de genou sont-elles liées géographiquement ? Et qu'en est-il de la césarienne, dont on a encore récemment beaucoup entendu parler dans l'actualité, pour la proportion inquiétante de césariennes dans certains hôpitaux ? Illustrer simplement les différences de pratique ne suffit pas. Classiquement, il s'agit ensuite d'essayer d'éliminer l'effet de plusieurs variables qui pourraient objectivement expliquer les différences observées, comme des comorbidités, des variables socioéconomiques, des facteurs d'offre médicale, … Mais les disparités de pratique subsistent en Belgique même après avoir éliminé l'effet de ces variables. Ceci avait déjà été mis en évidence dans des études précédentes. On débouche alors inévitablement sur un questionnement à propos de l'opportunité des soins. Cette recherche démontre que pour certaines interventions, il est possible de mettre en évidence une association entre « trop de soins donnés » et des « soins médicalement inopportuns ». Mais ce n'est pas toujours le cas, le questionnement reste alors entier et l'instauration de mesures qui viseraient à diminuer des différences non justifiées reste à l'ordre du jour. Une collaboration de fond avec les acteurs de terrain pour chaque domaine spécifique est un « must », comme le prouve cette étude. En outre, cette étude a montré une fois de plus que la Belgique est riche en bases de données qui ne demandent qu'à être exploitées, pas seulement par le KCE mais aussi par tous les autres acteurs qui cherchent à utiliser le plus efficacement possible les moyens disponibles pour offrir à tous les patients les meilleurs soins.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Our aim was to provide age- and sex-stratified prevalence estimates of physical disabilities and handicap in the general Belgian population. METHODS: A cross-sectional and demographically representative health interview survey was conducted nationwide in Belgium in 1997. The 8836 persons aged 15 years and over who answered the health interview were included in this study. Seventeen items from the survey encompassing main activities of daily living (ADL) and confining were analyzed. To provide prevalence estimates as detailed as possible, neither aggregation nor dichotomization were applied. RESULTS: Women consistently reported more disability than men: mobility (p < 0.001), transfer in-out bed (p < 0.001), transfer in-out chair (p < 0.001), dressing (p = 0.004), washing hands and face (p = 0.029), getting to and using toilet (p = 0.003), continence (p < 0.001), seeing (p < 0.001) and mastication (p < 0.001). As expected, there was a marked trend for increased prevalence of disability with increasing age for both sexes. Moderate disability arose mainly from the 25-34 age group for both sexes. For both genders, severe disability appeared mainly at higher ages, particularly for the 65-74 age group. Nevertheless, the data suggest that continence problems for women, mobility and transfer issues for men, as well as mastication problems for both genders, clearly emerge earlier than age 65. Regarding handicap, observed prevalence rates were increasing, in age as was the case for disability, but no differences were found between men or women, except for confinement to house/garden, for which women presented a higher rate in general (p < 0.001) and in the 75-84 age group (p = 0.036) in particular. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the wide range of disability types in the general population and their association with handicap. While elderly individuals consistently report higher degrees of disability and handicap, attention should also be paid to younger age groups. Disability calls for wide, coherent and relevant medical as well as social responses. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 103 (10 ULg)

Cardiac Risk Assessment before Vascular Surgery: A Prospective Study Comparing Clinical Evaluation, Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography, and Dobutamine Tc-99m Sestamibi Tomoscintigraphy

Preoperative evaluation for cardiac risk assessment before peripheral vascular surgery remains controversial. Between January and June 1994, a prospective open study was carried out in 156 patients scheduled for elective vascular procedures (63 carotid endarterectomies, 34 abdominal aortic aneurysms, 29 aortoiliac and 30 infrainguinal reconstructions) to compare the ability of clinical data, dobutamine stress echocardiography, and dobutamine Tc-99m sestamibi tomoscintigraphy to predict postoperative cardiac events. Pharmacological stress testing consisted of incremental dobutamine infusion (+/-1 mg atropine to achieve 85% of age-predicted maximal heart rate, with continuous echocardiographic monitoring, and injection of Tc-99m sestamibi after dobutamine infusion). Dobutamine echocardiography was abnormal in 36 patients (worsening resting wall motion abnormality in 11; new induced wall motion abnormality in 25). Dobutamine Tc-99m sestamibi tomoscintigraphy revealed a reversible perfusion defect in 34 patients, indicating the presence of myocardial ischaemia. As a result, eight patients underwent myocardial revascularization (n = 5) or the proposed operation was cancelled (n = 3). In the remaining 142 vascular procedures, there were eight (5.6%) adverse cardiac events: three myocardial infarctions (two fatal), three prolonged myocardial ischaemia, one acute congestive heart failure and one sustained ventricular arrhythmia in the post operative period. Univariate analysis selected unstable angina (relative risk (RR) 11.6), previous congestive heart failure (RR 6.4), Detsky's score of > or = 15 (RR 3.0), positive dobutamine stress echocardiography (RR 3.7), and positive dobutamine tomoscintigraphy (RR 7.4) as significant predictors of postoperative cardiac events. In patients without clinical markers of coronary artery disease (n = 66), non-invasive cardiac testing did not predict cardiac complications (n = 2; one prolonged myocardial ischaemia; one infarction). In the subset of 76 patients with definite clinical or electrocardiographic evidence of ischaemic heart disease, dobutamine stress testing provided additional information, and optimized risk stratification: five of six patients who suffered a cardiac complication had a pathologic dobutamine stress test. Furthermore, a negative dobutamine stress test was characterized by a high negative predictive value (0.96 for echocardiography; 0.97 for tomoscintigraphy). The study further demonstrated that the cardiac response (ischaemic versus non-ischaemic) to dobutamine stress was concordantly classified by echocardiographic and tomoscintigraphic techniques in 96% of cases. It is concluded that complementary non-invasive cardiac stress testing by dobutamine is indicated only in patients with clinically apparent coronary artery disease.

Kinking of the Internal Carotid Artery: Clinical Significance and Surgical Management

The authors report on 62 surgical corrections for kinking of the internal carotid artery during a 13-year period (1980-1993). This represents 2.8% of all carotid operative procedures (n = 2188) in the same period. It always concerned a significant (< 60 degrees) angulation of a redundant internal carotid artery, that in all but 3 cases was associated with atherosclerotic involvement of the carotid bifurcation. The indication to surgery included transient hemispheric or ocular ischaemia in 25.5% of cases, a regressive neurologic deficit in 8%, a minor stroke in 3%, a stroke in evolution in 11%, and non-lateralized cerebral ischaemia in 21%. In 19 patients (31%) it concerned an asymptomatic high degree stenosis. The surgical technique consisted in carotid transposition-reimplantation after eversion endarterectomy in 37 cases, in posterior transverse plication with patch angioplasty in 20 cases, and in segmental excision with venous interposition graft in 5 cases. There was one postoperative death. The morbidity include one ipsilateral non-fatal stroke and 3 transient ischaemic attacks. A complete long-term follow-up (mean duration 3.4 years) is available for 57 patients. The late incidence of stroke is 1.5% per year. The 5-year survival attains 67%. These long-term results are comparable to the outcome of standard endarterectomy in the same institution. The authors discuss the indication, techniques, and outcome of surgical correction of kinked internal carotid artery. They recommend a shortening procedure, often associated with endarterectomy for severely kinked vessels (angulation 60 degrees or less), symptomatic or not.

Worldwide demand for crimes of desperation and opportunity
How we get these Future News Predictions
Find out how these predictions will affect you
In the future crime will be made up of crimes of desperation and crimes of opportunity. As the economy becomes more and more challenging, many people who have never committed a crime will do so out of desperation. One of the largest areas hit by this coming crime of desperation will be grocery stores. More and more people without jobs will steal food staples to order to feed their families. It will not be because they want to commit a crime. It will just be the only way some will be able to make ends meet and get food. They cannot steal things like gasoline, which they need to help find a job. But without enough money left over at the end of the month they will steal food because they are hungry. These petty crimes will add up to be a huge hit on grocery stores and large retailers like Wal-Mart and Target. People who commit these crimes of desperation will feel bad about it because that is not how they were brought up. The majority of people driven to desperate crimes will be normal people like your next door neighbors. Another crime area that will growContinue reading »

CALDWELL COUNTY, Texas -- A physical education teacher was convicted Monday of continuous sexual abuse of a young child.
Steven Andrew Deleon, 40, was sentenced to 32 years in prison for the sexual abuse of an 11-year-old student at Travis Elementary School in San Marcos.
Deleon was a physical education teacher at Travis Elementary School in San Marcos when the abuse took place. Police learned of the abuse from a recording of a sexually explicit telephone conversation between Deleon and the victim which was discovered by the victim's mother.
The abuse occurred from June 3, 2011 through August 27, 2011 at the victim's family's residence at Gary Job Corps in Caldwell County and at Deleon's home in Martindale, according to a press release from the Caldwell County District Attorney's Office.
"We're pleased with the jury's verdict and sentence," said Caldwell County Criminal District Attorney Richard R. "Trey" Hicks III. "This case was made even more tragic by the fact that the defendant was a schoolteacher, a person parents entrust with the safety and welfare of their children. This defendant violated that trust."
Continuous sexual abuse of a child is a first-degree felony punishable by 25 to 99 years or life in prison, with no possibility of parole.

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. - "Pilot" - Joss Whedon, the creative genius behind the feature film "Marvel's The Avengers," one of the highest grossing films of all time, and of the iconic television series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," has co-created "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," a dynamic, action-packed one-hour drama that brings back Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to lead a team of highly skilled agents to investigate extra-normal and super human people and events worldwide. The series premieres TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. In the premiere episode, "Pilot," it's just after the battle of New York, and now that the existence of super heroes and aliens has become public knowledge, the world is trying to come to grips with this new reality. Agent Phil Coulson is back in action and has his eye on a mysterious group called The Rising Tide. In order to track this unseen, unknown enemy, he has assembled a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). The group's first assignment together as a team finds them trying to track down an ordinary man who has gained extraordinary powers. Powers that could have devastating consequences.
