AUSTIN -- Ekia Smith is just 13 years old. She's lain in a hospital bed with no brain activity since August, when a car leaving a bar struck her on the side of the road. Her devastated family blames alcohol.
"I don't want any other parent to have to go through this," mother Kim Jenkins tearfully told KVUE in an interview last week.
Of the 3,015 traffic deaths in Texas last year, 1,039 -- more than a third -- involved alcohol. The total number of fatalities from driving under the influence in Texas is consistently higher than in any other state, including those such as California and New York with populations greater than that of Texas.
On Monday's agenda at the State Capitol, members of the House Committee on Jurisprudence met to weigh testimony on ways to solve Texas' DWI problem, including whether to require ignition interlock systems for first time drunk driving offenders.
Ignition interlock systems work by requiring the user to breathe into a handset that can detect alcohol on the breath. If the user fails, the vehicle won't start. If the the user passes, they will be asked to blow into the handset at periodic random intervals while driving. Any failed tests are recorded in the device's memory, which is retrieved once a month when the system is brought in for calibration. Some systems also incorporate a video camera, which captures a video recording of the test.
"If you can't stop that first offense, well by golly we can stop that second offense by putting an ignition interlock on their car," said Bill Lewis, public policy liaison with the Texas office of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
Lewis believes requiring interlocks would be just as effective as jail time but cheaper, and in addition avoid the potential family hardships imposed by revoking the driver's license of a working parent.
"It doesn't cost that much money," Lewis told KVUE. "It's not asking too much for somebody who has been convicted of DWI to ask them to blow into a little device in their car to get it started."
"It's going to be somewhere, we fear, between seven and $12 million for us to monitor those with interlocks. It's not just as simple as putting them on," said Rodney Thompson, directory of adult probation for Angelina County and legislative co-chair of the Texas Probation Association.
Thompson compares ordering mandatory interlock devices for all first-time offenders to a costly, unfunded mandate from the Texas Legislature, and instead recommends instituting a standardized system to determine which offenders would benefit the most from the device.
"Do it based on an assessment, do it based on evidence-based practices," Thompson said.
Stopping the first DWI from happening is the ultimate goal. Montgomery County authorities made headlines after arresting a bartender accused of over serving a customer as part of an undercover sting. Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam told KVUE operations like "Bars and Cars" and statewide "no refusal" are helping discourage and prevent alcohol-related offenses.
"We saw a 50 percent reduction in fatalities on the Fourth of July in 2011 for no refusal. So it's a program that works, and it's a program that's documented to save lives," said Diepraam, who told KVUE his office has received mixed feedback after news reporter of the undercover program.
"It's received a lot of favorable publicity," said Diepraam. "Of course whenever you do anything in the field of law enforcement, you're never going to make everybody happy, and we upset some people of course, but we definitely got the message out there that you need to be cautious with whom you serve. You cannot just keep serving drunk people and put them on the roads to drive. There are consequences to doing that."
"Punishing them afterwards doesn't bring back any victim, doesn't make any family feel better. The idea is to stop a DWI before it happens," committee chair State Rep. Pete Gallego (D-Alpine) said after the hearing. "The truth is that our rate has come down, and we're doing better than we've done in the past, and we can still do more."
It's a problem with no easy solution, even though what's at stake is clear.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Teach for America in September 2012.
Interview Details I filled out the general application on Teach For America's website. I got a follow up email from them in about 3-4 weeks. From there I scheduled a phone interview, where I was screened for a few different positions, where I expressed my interest in a specific role. I then had a 2nd phone interview one week later, which was followed by a 3rd interview a few days after. The entire process was long, but I was so at ease with the staff. I did not end up getting the position, but was in the top 3 contenders. They were so nice, even when it came to telling me I was not offered the position.
Interview Question – There were no unexpected questions, they were not trying to be tricky like in some interviews. They asked the standard questions:
"What core values do you identify with most"?
"What are your thoughts on the mission"?
"Why are you interested in this position/what do you know about TFA"?
"What does leadership mean to you"?
"Describe a time you took on a leadership position"?
"How do you stay organized"? (They want a very detailed answer here)
"Name a time you failed at something, how did you handle it"?
"If we talked to your supervisor, what would he/she say you need to improve on"? Answer Question
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.
Your feedback has been sent to the team, and we'll look into it.
Sorry, but your feedback didn't make it to the team. Your input is valuable to us – would you mind trying again?
The difficulty rating is the average interview difficulty rating across all interview candidates.
The interview experience is the percentage of all interview candidates who said that their interview experience was positive, neutral or negative.
Your response will be removed from the review – this cannot be undone.

Notice of Petition - "Compensation, Retirement Programs and Related Benefits"
Bobby Howard
P O Box336
Phenix, VA 23959-0336
April 22, 2013
Barry F Mardock
Deputy Director
Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Mr. Mardock:
I'm writing this letter in opposition to the Farm Credit System (FCS)
petition against giving a voice to their member owners (say on pay) and in
support of the Farm Credit Administration's (FCA) final rule adopted last
The vote allowed if there is five percent or more of members petitioning
for a vote on compensation and related issues is nonbinding in nature.
Therefore it is advisory in nature for their boards. Allowing members
such a vote does not cause a hardship on FCS institutions. For the same
reasons, members should be allowed to vote on large pay increases of
fifteen percent or more. These issues go to the heart of what cooperative
governance and what the one-member, one-vote principals are all about.
If the FCA backs down on this final regulation due to pressure from the
FCS, then the FCA's credibility as a regulator will be severely undermined
and its supposed interest in transparency will be shown to be nothing more
than empty rhetoric. Rejecting the FCS petition is also necessary to
ensure better safety and soundness practices are in place for the FCS.
Therefore, I request that the FCA keep the final rule in place and
strengthen it as suggested above. Thank you for considering my comments.
Bobby Howard

Last week — when most Florida politicos were still buzzing about the guilty plea of former GOP party boss Jim Greer — some of the state's biggest names were throwing a party.
It took place on the 14th floor of a stately law firm in downtown Orlando where elevators delivered attendees to a lobby with an open bar on one side and a gourmet-grilled-cheese station on the other. (Bacon and sautéed onions were preferred toppings.)
Attendees came at the invitation of a host committee that included the likes of Bill Nelson, Bill McCollum, Charlie Crist, Alex Sink, Jeff Atwater, Buddy MacKay and dozens more.
Though the atmosphere was celebratory, the cause was serious: the environment.
In that regard, it was also unusual.
Because in recent years, when leaders of this state have gathered, our natural resources have often paid the price.
In fact, they have been savaged.
Lawmakers have rolled back environmental safeguards, cut funding for conservation, reduced pollution enforcement and abandoned water-quality monitoring.
They systematically dismantled programs touted by leaders of parties. Even protections that Jeb Bush found key to preservation have been wiped away by Republicans who cavalierly labeled them "job-killers."
"I'd like to be more optimistic about the state of the environment," said Charles Pattison, president of 1,000 Friends of Florida, "but that's hard."
Similar thoughts came from Eric Draper, executive director of Audubon Florida, who summed it up this way: "We are depleting our water supplies and fouling our nest."
Finally, we may be waking up to that reality.
On Saturday, about 1,200 gathered at Wekiwa Springs State Park to rally on behalf of Florida's rivers and springs — most of which are in declining health.
If that sounds to you like some gathering of earthy-crunchy tree-huggers whining about issues of little relevance to everyday Floridians, you're woefully uninformed (and possibly a Florida legislator).
This state depends on its natural resources for everything from its economy to sustaining life.
Yet on scale after scale, we are sullying and diluting those resources — through pollution, sprawl, overdevelopment, intense agriculture and even human-waste byproducts released directly into the water sources that ultimately lead back to our kitchen sinks.
That's why it's encouraging to see some momentum — both among everyday Floridians rallying at the springs, as well as the bipartisan political leaders who gathered at the law firm last week.
At that event, organizers were determined to raise $300,000 to provide law-school fellowships at the University of Florida to aspiring protectors of the environment in the name of the late GOP patriarch and environmental steward Thom Rumberger.
I was also on the host committee, partly because I respected Rumberger and partly because I'm pragmatic enough to know that courtroom is where many of the environment's battles come to a head.
If the veteran politicos who backed that event keep that momentum going, good things could happen.
Some of it involves money. Draper of the Audubon Society suggested an environmental trust fund of $1 billion — less than 1.4 percent of the state budget — so that environmental efforts are guaranteed at least a sliver of the pie each year.
Would you rather spend $10,000 protecting a stream now or $1 million later to clean up the hydrilla-choked lake fed by the spring?
Pattison said legislators also must stop demonizing any and all regulations — especially those that protect our water supply, noting that it's "key to Florida's growth and prosperity."
Generally, the governor and legislators must learn to treat the world as more than an inexhaustible resource.
They need to listen to the statesmen and -women who came before them, the residents who live around them and generations ahead who depend upon them.

Deliciously Sweet and Tangy Blackberry and Lemon Tart
I don't know about where you guys are, but around here right now, lemons are sooo deliciously juicy and wonderful! I've been using a LOT of lemons in my cooking lately and thought, "What better way to use the lovely lemon juice than in a tart?" I had some frozen blackberries I've been looking to use and thought that this would be a match made in heaven. So right I was. So wonderfully right.
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
6 ounces (150 grams) butter
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
juice of 2 lemons (around 1/2 cup?)
1 carton frozen blackberries, drained (I should have drained mine a little better)
First and foremost, set your blackberries in a sieve over a bowl to drain.
Now, start the crust.
Preheat your oven to 300ºF/150ºC.
Add flour, powdered sugar and butter to your food processor and pulse until it comes together in a dough.
Press the dough into a tart pan, using your hands and fingers to spread the dough evenly.
Parbake the dough about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Raise oven temperature to 350ºF/175ºC.
While cooling, combine the filling ingredients.
Beat eggs first, then add remaining ingredients, except blackberries, whisking well to combine.
Pour filling into tart shell, and then arrange blackberries in filling.
Bake about 25 minutes, or until set.
Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.

Citi Foundation $50,000 Grant for Scholarships and Careers
August 4, 2011
Denver, Colorado – August 4, 2011 – The Citi Foundation granted $50,000 to the American Indian College Fund to continue the Citi Foundation Scholarship & Career Exploration Program. This program provides scholarships to Native students attending the following tribal colleges and universities in South Dakota: Sisseton Wahpeton College, Oglala Lakota College, or Sinte Gleska University.
As part of the grant, The Citi Foundation will also sponsor a one-day career fair at Sinte Gleska University in the spring of 2012. Citi representatives, tribal program administrators, and city and county department officials from the region will introduce students to career opportunities around South Dakota and beyond.
Ruth A Christopherson, Senior Vice President, Citi Community Development, said, "Education is the universal economic development tool, and life is all about developing strong and successful partnerships. Due to the efforts of the American Indian College Fund and through investments in tribal schools and Native students from the private sector and companies like Citi, we are slowly seeing a change in the number of Native Americans earning post-secondary education degrees. The lives of thousands of people in Indian Country are being transformed through the American Indian College Fund, and Citi is proud to count the Fund as its longtime partner."
"For nearly two decades, the Citi Foundation has supported American Indians in higher education in South Dakota who are attending tribal colleges and universities," said Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund. "Through the Citi Foundation's involvement, students have a chance to attend college and create a better life for themselves and their families, making a positive and lasting impact in Indian Country."

A professor flips on a classroom light switch. She looks outside to see a groundskeeper vacuuming golden oak leaves from the grass near the fountain. In the Jo Young Switzer Center (the union), a student sips freshly brewed coffee as she cracks open a new library book. And somewhere in Schwalm, the first person in his family to attend college sends an e-mail to his mom and dad before they leave for work.
It's a new day at Manchester University. And it wouldn't happen without The Manchester Fund.
Even more importantly, The Manchester Fund makes up part of the difference between the cost of college and what students can afford to pay. A college education would be out of reach for many students without the financial aid that The Manchester Fund provides. It helps real people. Right now.

Send a link to this page to your friends and colleagues.
The other day, I read a post in which someone wrote that he had to take a "ton of insulin" to cover some carbs in his meal, and he disclosed the exact dose. The funny thing is, I have often taken that amount to cover my meals. Admittedly, they were higher carb meals, but I never really thought of it as being a "ton" of insulin. When you read something like this, you can't help but wonder if you are doing something wrong on a regular basis. I suddenly felt that maybe I was out of line in taking that particular dose at a normal meal.
I quickly reminded myself not to try to compare myself to another person with diabetes. Still, these feelings prompted me to examine the way I've been eating lately. Am I eating too many carbs at each meal and thus taking too much insulin? Between my busy, stressful job and taking care of my kids, I don't always take the time to plan lower-carb meals. I just grab something to eat and dose my insulin accordingly.
I really feel like I should rein in my carbohydrate intake a bit, not because I'm ashamed of my insulin usage, but because I notice less fluctuation in my blood sugar and feel better when I eat a few less carbs. I tried eating a low-carb diet once, but it didn't last long at all. Working with different dosages to find the right one for a low-carb meal sometimes led to low blood sugars that required me to shovel in the carbs. That is definitely not the outcome I wanted. Besides, I do love carbs, and sometimes I feel ill when I restrict them too much.
I believe in consuming healthy carbs like whole grains, beans, and starchy vegetables. I know I shouldn't go wild with highly processed sugary carbs, but really, no one should. There is a time and a place for having goodies, like birthdays or holidays. For a long time, I was eating about 20 to 30 carbohydrates per meal, and that worked pretty well for me, my weight, and my blood sugars. I have been more lax about those restrictions lately, and I'm trying to get focused again on my carb intake.
We are all different, and there is nothing wrong with that. Regardless of how many carbohydrates you choose to eat and what your nutritionist says is best for you, you should never feel defective for taking a different amount of insulin than other people with diabetes. Everyone is different. Insulin-to-carb ratios vary greatly in people with diabetes, and only your doctor can decide what works best for you. Our goal with diabetes is to have stable blood sugars, and doing what works for you to reach that goal is all that matters, not what your neighbor with diabetes is doing.

Two fires in Gloversville last month were started by children using lighters. The blaze at a Fifth Avenue home on March 20 resulted in the death of a 41-year-old man.
Local fire officials have noted nationwide one of the leading causes of residential fire deaths and injuries for children younger than age 10 is playing with a heat source, including matches and lighters.
However, there is more to fire safety than keeping children away from ignition sources.
In the recent deadly fire in Gloversville, an investigation found only one smoke alarm was in the structure at 34 Fifth Ave. and it was inoperable because it had no battery.
Some fire-safety suggestions from the Gloversville Fire Department include:
Please take the time to prepare for the worst. It just might save your life.

Basic Menu Math combines basic math skills with the fun and excitement of dining out, providing 'real-life' practice ordering from menus and figuring the cost of meals. The Basic Menu Math programs provide hours of fun while improving independent math, basic reading, and sight-reading skills. Engaging visuals make this popular program easy to use with individuals who have limited or no reading skills.
PCI's Janie Haugen-McLane developed this creative, colorful, high-interest program after observing students struggle to stay within their personal budgets when ordering at restaurants. Each program has either traditional menus, as those used in sit-down restaurants, or menu order boards as posted in fast food and cafeteria restaurants. Students 'order' from the realistic menus and write the price of the food item on a corresponding worksheet. They then total the items to determine the price of their meals. Large type and simple illustrations make this program suitable for individuals with varying reading abilities.
Cafeteria Menu Math features one restaurant: Mom's Cafeteria.
Fast Food Menu Math features two restaurants: Biggie Burger and Chicken Basket.
Restaurant Menu Math features two restaurants: American Cafe and Around the World.
Each Program includes:
• 6 Menu Order Boards
• Teacher's Binder with instructions
• Answer Key
• 96 Reproducible Worksheets
Each laminated Menu Order Board is 11" x 25". Additional Order Boards for each program are available separately for use with larger groups of students.

I love this program. It comes with menus and reproducible worksheets. My students love it too. It was a great introduction to this concept before we went into the community.
Easy to use and generalized well.
Only three of each menu, but still love it.

Several four-year colleges are already looking into offering accelerated three-year programs, either to bring more revenue into their schools or to offer an official path for students already working to complete their degrees under the traditional four years. Associate's programs have always been an alternative for students looking for lower-cost options in specific fields and disciplines, and typically take two or more years to complete. One school, however, will launch an accelerated version of the typically two-year program, giving the students the option of receiving a degree in one year flat.
Starting this fall, Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana will offer a pilot program to students interested in completing degrees in health-care support in just one year. Students must commit to an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. school week, five days a week, but in exchange, the cost of the program and any associated tuition and fees will be covered by the college. The fifth day in that school week will be reserved for fields trips, more experiential activities, or additional class time if certain instructors need it.
According to an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education on the program, this is the first community college in the country to offer an accelerated associate's degree. The project was made possible by more than $2.5 million in grants from the Lumina Foundation for Education and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and aims to address low degree-completion and retention rates among low-income students. Only about 25 percent of students who enter associate's degree programs graduate with that two-year degree, according to The Chronicle.
Is it really possible to squeeze all of that instruction into one year? Ivy Tech administrators say yes. The students who were welcomed into the program for the fall were determined to be "college-ready" by guidance counselors and faculty and staff at the college, based on their academic achievements in college and any relevant test scores and records. Students will be divided into cohorts of between 12 to 20 students, and will receive condensed instruction where they are expected to synthesize quite a bit of information at one time. All of the students will be receiving financial aid. In fact, they must be in need of financial aid to enter into the program, as one of the aims of the program is to improve the success rates of low-income student populations.
According to The Chronicle, a number of technology centers in Tennessee have been experimenting with accelerated certificate programs, although they do not award associate's degrees in any fields of study. Proponents of acceleration say programs like the one at Ivy Tech are especially useful in areas with competitive job markets or high numbers of unemployment workers who need new skills; graduates are able to get back out into the workforce with new skills in less time than before. What do you think? Is one year too little time to get a degree? Should four-year colleges look to accelerate programs even further?

If you can prove that you have mastered the material, skill or knowledge, what reason would there be to lengthen the time, run up the cost?

Recently we have had an African American voted as the president of the United States. This is significant because it shows that no matter that race we are, we're all equal. It takes focus and hard work to follow our dreams.

On New Years Eve the Downtown Mall will be filled with revelers ready to bring in the new year. A laser show last year at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion ushered in 2012.
The Main Street Arena in Charlottesville is now home to First Night Virginia. The event is now on the opposite side of the mall. Business owners hope the new location will increase their business.
"Having a night where so many people will be out, maybe some new people who haven't seen us yet, well get a chance to come in and see what we do hopefully," said Whiskey Jar co-owner, Wilson Richey.
Organizers are expecting about 1,800 people to celebrate inside of the arena. Richey says his restaurant will extend their hours.
"It's something we all look forward to and we are excited about," said Richey. "To have this many people is a little intimidating but we are up for the challenge."
He's up for the challenge as thousands descend on the mall for New Years Eve.

Having reviewed the thread, baby Jesus is most definitely weeping at this point.
using the word retarded to describe anything is foolish.
It is an insult to great art that you include Mendelssohn in that list. I'd like to see a realistic criticism of his works beyond him being ein Jude by birth.
I completely disagree. If you know the etymology of the word, it's the perfect description.
Honestly, I think onan is just making fun of contemporary artists with a jewish background.
perhaps its the PC douchebag within me, but i see "retarded" as being a very juvenile and immature way of describing things.

Best slip joint pliers I've ever come across. I'm particular about my tools and have tried many slip joint pliers. Most slip joint pliers are just a Ford Pinto. These are the Mercedes of slip joint pliers. Nice clean forgings (dare i say attractive?!) The joint is tight; absolutely no wobble so the jaws stay aligned and the work piece doesn't twist causing you to lose your grip on it. The flush rivet is attractive and functional, allowing you to clamp them in a bench or mill vise to make mods to the jaws. Nice even brushed finish without excessive rounding at the edges. Often companies try to "pop" a finish to make it shiny, but it ends up with character lines washed out, rounded over edges and looks terrible. Not the case here. No bling, just a nice workman-like finish. The handles appear dipped, not cheap vinyl slip on variety. They also have a nice texture to them allowing for a positive grip. They are made in the US and competively priced to boot. Frankly, tool quality is getting poorer by the day (even Craftsman quality, in general, isn't what it used to be). So, it's simply amazing to find something like this that is intelligently designed and competantly fabricated. The lowly slip joint plier has finally been done right.

definitely worth every penny. try that with evolve, you better save receipt and wait a month or more getting it back by mail, if you buy evolve. That's not the case with original Craftsman.

I've had this pliers for years and recently had to exchange it for free because the insulation on the handle was separating. The store's salesman made the exchange without a hitch or a question. The best handtools and guarantee ever.

When a doctor orders medication from the pharmacy, pharmacists carefully review the order and enter it into a computerized information system. Many products are already mixed by the manufacturer, but our staff will often mix special medications, including those that go directly into the bloodstream and must be sterile. These medications are prepared by our technical staff and then reviewed by a pharmacist prior to being dispensed to a nurse for administration.
Our pharmacy services at Memorial Hospital is highly automated, which ensures accurate and fast delivery of medications. Pharmacy carousel is an automated storage and retrieval system that automatically dispenses the correct medication. A bar code system ensures that the correct medication is delivered, and the system automatically reorders medications as needed.
Many medications ordered by a physician are dispensed directly to nursing stations through our automated dispensing system, Pyxis. These systems can only be accessed by nurses and by pharmacy staff who refill them regularly. This ensures strict control over medications and enhances your safety.
Memorial's pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are highly trained and professionally certified. All of our pharmacists have graduated from an accredited school of pharmacy and are licensed by the state of Colorado. The department itself is licensed by the Colorado Board of Pharmacy, which ensures that our procedures comply with state regulations designed to protect the public. Our medication safety specialist continually monitors processes and systems in the department to find ways to improve services and minimize medication errors.

What is a Toggle Switch?
A toggle switch is a type of switch that controls the supply of electrical current. A toggle switch is an electrical switch. It has a small handle or a lever. The toggle switch lever has two positions to control the electrical power flow.
A regular toggle switch has numerous applications. It is being widely used for domestic, commercial and industrial settings. Customers consider toggle switch easy-to-install and easy-to-operate.

The Concept behind a Toggle Switch
It is important to point out that the word "toggle" refers to the action of switching the mechanism from one position to another position. The most common toggle switch applications are referred to having control over the electrical current, more often toggle switches are placed to control the power flow on the complex machinery and computers.
Most commonly, fire alarms use toggle switches as do major circuit breakers. The ratings of toggle switches are based on the amount of electric current that it can handle.
