Report: Judge lowers bail for suspect in fatal crash: Defense attorney asked bail be set at $75g with host of monitoring stipulations
Thursday, August 1, 2013
DOVER — A Dover Circuit Court judge is reported to have lowered bail for a Somersworth man facing two counts of negligent homicide in connection with a head-on collision that killed a new bride and severely injured her husband.
Harrington requested other stipulations, including: monitoring by Strafford County Community Corrections; the use of a Breathalyzer to check on Tsopas' sobriety; submitting to random drug testing; and wearing a GPS monitoring, if deemed appropriate. Harrington suggested his client would be open to other bail conditions that the judge felt would increase the safety of the community. "My client has very strong ties in this community," Harrington said, noting he has held steady employment for more than 10 years and has lived in the local area his entire life. Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi laid out the alleged details of what he said happened the night of the accident that killed Leah Fonda Preiss, 30, of St. Paul, Minn. According to Velardi, Tsopas was "unruly" at a bar, where a witness saw Tsopas over consuming alcohol and taking pills. Toxicology reports later found Tsopas had alcohol and several controlled drugs in his system.
Velardi said after Tsopas struck the vehicles he proceeded down Route 4 and attempted to pass another vehicle before the head-on crash that resulted in the almost immediate death of Preiss. Velardi indicates Tsopas then emerged from his vehicle and ran through the woods while removing articles of clothing. Velardi says a "good Samaritan" interceded and police were able to seize Tsopas after a struggle. Velardi said Tsopas was then brought to the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for crash-related injuries, where he needed to be medically sedated and guarded by police. The judge said the state would now be required to provide sufficient evidence that Tsopas committed the offenses he is charged with. |

Liver metastases are cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.
Cancer that starts in the liver is called hepatocellular carcinoma .
Metastases to the liver; Metastatic liver cancer; Liver cancer - metastatic
Almost any cancer can spread to the liver. Cancers that can spread to the liver include:
The risk of cancer spreading to the liver depends on the location (site) of the original cancer. A liver metastasis may be present when the original (primary) cancer is diagnosed. Or it may occur months or years after the primary tumor is removed.
In some cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
Tests that may be done to diagnose liver metastases include:
Treatment depends on:
Types of treatments that may be used are described below.
When the tumor is only in one or a few areas of the liver, the cancer may be removed with surgery.
When the cancer has spread to the liver and other organs, whole-body (systemic) chemotherapy is usually used. The type of chemotherapy used depends on the original type of cancer.
When the cancer has only spread in the liver, systemic chemotherapy may still be used.
Chemoembolization is a type of chemotherapy to one area. A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin. The catheter is threaded into the artery in the liver. Cancer-killing medicine is sent through the catheter. Then another medicine is sent through the catheter to block blood flow to the part of the liver with the tumor. This "starves" the cancer cells.
How well you do depends on the location of the original cancer and how much it has spread to the liver or anywhere else. In rare cases, surgery to remove the liver tumors leads to a cure. This is usually only possible when there are a limited number of tumors in the liver.
In most cases, cancer that has spread to the liver cannot be cured. Patients whose cancer has spread to the liver usually die of their disease. However, treatments may help shrink tumors, improve life expectancy, and relieve symptoms.
Complications are often the result of tumors spreading to a large area of the liver.
They can include:
Anyone who has had a type of cancer that can spread to the liver should be aware of the signs and symptoms listed above, and call the doctor if any of these develop.
Early detection of some types of cancer may prevent the spread of these cancers to the liver.

On 25 June 2014, the Security Council adopted resolution 2162 renewing the mandate of the UNOCI (United Nations Mission in Côte d'Ivoire) and reducing the number of peacekeepers in the context of increasing stability of the country.
On 29 April 2014, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2153 which renews the sanctions regime concerning Côte d'Ivoire until 30 April 2015. However, given the progress made by the country, the Security Council lifted the embargo on Ivorian rough diamonds and eased the embargo on small arms.
On 24 April 2014, the Security Council held private consultations on the 1572 sanctions committee on Côte d'Ivoire. The Permanent Representative of Chile and president of the committee, Mr Cristián Barros Melet, presented the experts' conclusions to the Council. The Permanent Representative of France commended the positive evolution of Côte d'Ivoire since the creation of the committee three years ago. A draft resolution prepared by France and allowing an evolution of the sanctions regime should be submitted to the Council in the coming days.
On 27 January 2014, the Security Council met to assess the situation in Côte d'Ivoire in presence of Special Representative of the Secretary-general in Côte d'Ivoire and head of the UN Mission in the country (UNOCI), Ms. Aïchatou Mindaoudou. Ms. Mindaoudou, via VTC from Abidjan, stated that some progress has been achieved in the country through Government-initiated reforms in particular on the control of funding of political parties. She reported on positive evolutions in the political dialogue between the different factions (FPI, RDR). However, she noted that the situation still remained fragile with an increase in inter-communitarian and interethnic violence. Consequently, she requested members of the Council to remain vigilant.
During private consultations, the Permanent Representative of France welcomed the favorable evolution in Côte d'Ivoire and noted no attack occurred in the past year. This calm allowed an economic boost that contributed to the stability of the country. Mr Araud acknowledged the efforts of dialogue and reconciliation between various political groups –Front populaire ivoirien (Ivory Popular Front) and former dignitaries of Laurent Gbagbo- but he stressed the importance of launching as soon as possible the security sector reform. France also called for the implementation of resolution 2112 which progressively transfers civil tasks from the UNOCI to the Ivorian state.
On 9 December 2013, the existing chairs of the subsidiary bodies of the Council presented the results of their work.
The chairman of the sanctions committee 1572 on Côte d'Ivoire, permanent representative of Guatemala, shared three reports in the areas of follow-up of the means of communication, arms embargo monitoring and human rights. He deplored considerable gaps in the implementation of sanctions, in particular in the area of the arms embargo. Despite all that, Côte d'Ivoire was progressing in the right direction towards stability, peace and security.
On 24 October 2013, Mr. Gert Rosenthal, Chairman of the sanction Committee and Permanent Representative of Guatemala, presented during closed consultations his progress report.
France encouraged to look at the situation in Côte d'Ivoire within a general context. The Representative of France welcomed again the positive developments of the situation in the country, both in terms of security and in the economic field. However, he noted that significant challenges remained: Security Sector Reform and the DDR process were implemented too slowly. He also mentioned the topic of illicit trafficking of weapons and encouraged a renewal of the sanctions regime this June.
The complete timeline of events here.
- Alassane Ouattara, winner of the November 2010 Presidential Election
The Ivorian parties reached an agreement, brokered by facilitator President Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso, in Ouagadougou on 4 March 2007 on a political resolution of the crisis in Côte d'Ivoire. The agreement was complemented with supplementary agreements to appoint Guillaume Soro, Secretary General of the "Forces Nouvelles", as Prime Minister (in March 2007), and set a new timetable in November 2007 (two years late) for open, free, fair and transparent elections in conformity with international norms.
The UNSG special representative, Mr. Youn-Jin Choi, was tasked to certify every stage of the electoral process.
The presidential election, was postponed several times. This prompted many reactions from the Security Council in the form of resolutions, presidential statements and press statements.
The first round of the presidential elections finally took place on 31 October 2010 and the run-off on 28 November. The results were announced by the Independent Electoral Committee on 2 December giving Alassane Ouattara as the winner (see the statements of French President Sarkozy and communiqués of the Presidency of 1st to 8th December). Outgoing president Gbagbo refused to transfer power to Mr Ouattara despite calls to do so by the international community.
Fighting broke out in Abidjan, the capital of the country, between forces loyal to Gbagbo and President Ouattara's forces. Faced with a deteriorating situation, the UN Security Council met several times during the crisis to call for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
In response to the use of heavy weapons against civilian populations, the Security Council adopted unanimously resolution 1975 on 30 March 2011, submitted by France and Nigeria.
With this resolution, the Security Council:
— urges Gbagbo to immediately step aside;
— stresses its full support given to UNOCI to use "all necessary means to carry out its mandate to protect civilians (…) including to prevent the use of heavy weapons";
— imposes targeted sanctions (freezing of assets, travel bans) against Laurent Gbagbo, his wife Simone Gbagbo, the Secretary General of the so-called "presidency" Mr. Désiré Tagro, the chairman of the Ivorian Popular Front Pascal Affi N'Guessan;
— recognizes the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court to try perpetrators of serious crimes in Côte d'Ivoire;
— makes explicit reference to the responsibility to protect.
On 11 April 2011, Laurent Gbagbo was arrested by President Ouattara's forces. The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, announced on 6 April his intention to open an inquiry on the crimes committed in Côte d'Ivoire.
On 5 May, the Ivorian Constitutional Court recognized the electoral victory of President Ouattara.
On 21 May, in Yamoussoukro, Alassane Ouattara was inaugurated as president of Côte d'Ivoire in the presence of several Heads of State and Government, including President Sarkozy.
- On the ground, a UN peacekeeping operation (UNOCI) and French troops ("Licorne")
On the ground, the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI), in place since 2004 (resolution 1528), comprises 11000 troops. UNMIL contingents (three infantry companies and an aviation unit comprised of two military utility helicopters) were temporarily transferred to UNOCI on 24 November 2010 by resolution 1951 in the run-up to the second round of the Ivorian presidential election.
The French force "Licorne" is deployed on the ground to support the action of UNOCI. At the height of the 2010-2011 political crisis, the troops of Licorne were strengthened to 1700. Since the arrest of Laurent Gbagbo, the contingent has resumed its usual size of approximately 900 troops.
The mandate of UNOCI was reviewed in June 2010 (resolution 1933) and structured around three main tasks:
— The stability of the country including the protection of civilians, which was more clearly spelled out than in the previous mandate and presented as a priority.
— Support for the election process and especially the independent electoral commission.
— Other tasks, including disarmament and the return of an effective state presence throughout the territory.
There was no need to change the mandate of UNOCI during the 2010-2011 political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, as its mandate included protecting civilian populations.
Resolution 1981 of 13 May 2011 renews the mandate of UNOCI until 31 July 2011 and extends the temporary redeployment of three infantry companies and an aviation unit from UNMIL until 30 June 2011.
Security Council Resolution 2000 (27 July 2011) extends the mandate of UNOCI until 31 July 2012 and keeps the level of troops unchanged.
- UN Sanctions
The Security Council introduced a sanctions regime in November 2004 (resolution 1572 (2004)) which includes an arms embargo, individual sanctions (travel bans, freezing of assets) against three Ivorian individuals (Messrs. Charles Blé Goudé and Eugene Djué for the galaxie présidentielle and Mr. Fofié, Zone Commander of the Forces nouvelles), as well as an embargo on the export of diamonds. The regime is renewed every six months, lately with Resolution 1946 of 15 October 2010. Resolution 1946 stressed that the Council remained ready to impose sanctions against those, including media actors, who might obstruct the electoral process.
New sanctions were imposed by resolution 1975, unanimously adopted on 30 March 2011 (freezing of assets and travel ban). They target Laurent Gbagbo, his wife Simone Gbagbo, the Secretary General of the so-called "presidency" Mr. Désiré Tagro, the chairman of the Ivorian Popular Front Pascal Affi N'Guessan and Mr. Alcide Djedje, close adviser to M. Gbagbo.
The sanctions regime on Côte d'Ivoire has been extended for one year with the support of the new Ivorian authorities, by resolution 1980 of the Security Council, unanimously adopted on 28 April 2011. Resolution 1980 is designed to support the normalization process in Côte d'Ivoire and the pacification of the national dialogue. It includes an evaluation of the effects of its implementation six months after its adoption and facilitates the purchase of equipment to maintain public order in the framework of the reform of the security sector.
Traditionally France is the country that drafts resolutions and presidential and press statements before they are negotiated at the Security Council.

projects from ross chapin architects
Ross Chapin
The first project to take advantage of Langley's new cottage housing code, Third Street Cottages encompasses eight detached homes, all less than 1,000 square feet in size.
With its built-in character, energy efficiency, and neighborly attitude, the pocket-sized community embodies Chapin's values of quality construction combined with a strong sense of place.
Conover Commons, phase one, is organized around Chapin's trademark child- and dog-friendly village green.
The homes' fiber cement siding, painted cedar battens, and Dutch-cut wood doors are updated versions of Northwest vernacular architecture.
Each of the 12 cottages at Conover Commons in Redmond, Wash., is less than 1,000 square feet, so socializing often spills into the commons building. Its columns, beams, and paneling come from maple and fir trees on the land. One of the first buildings in
A custom home inspired by local farm buildings in Dungeness, Wash., orients to views and weather. Chapin opened the house to the south, toward a view of the Olympic Mountain range.
A flying rain shelter with polycarbonate roofing shields it from the strong winds and rain that blow in off the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
At Greenwood Avenue Cottages, personal gardens range in style from Japanese Zen to tousled English cottage. "Some people just manage to plant clover, but it all holds together," Chapin says.
This custom home in Saratoga, Wash., slips between existing trees; the satellite outbuilding houses a guest bedroom.
Langley, Wash., a beach town on Whidbey Island, is the kind of place that draws outsiders. An hour north of Seattle, tourists arrive here by the boatload to watch the orcas feeding in Puget Sound, to spot migrating gray whales in springtime, or to take in the restaurants, shops, and galleries of this pristine village, population 1,000. Ross Chapin, AIA, was a tourist who passed through Langley in the late 1970s. A few years later he came to stay, attracted as much to its strong sense of community as to its panoramic views of Saratoga Passage and the Cascade Mountains. In the past decade, though, Langley has struggled with the growing pains common to all prosperous towns. Big residential developers are beginning to eye the area, and while Chapin bemoans the sad "spaghetti bowl of cul-de-sacs and beige boxes" they usually bring with them, he doesn't care much for pitched NIMBY battles. Instead, living and working in such an unspoiled spot has inspired him to come up with housing solutions that preserve small-town style and scale, changing local zoning ordinances if necessary.
Chapin knows that the loose edges of towns, with their mind-numbing mazes of streets, cannot be improved simply by sending out talented architects. Innovative solutions must come from better planning. So he's teamed up with ace developer Jim Soules to create The Cottage Company, a Seattle-based residential development firm that specializes in what the pair calls pocket neighborhoods—sensibly sized houses and lots that share a courtyard garden. In 1998 they completed their first joint project, Third Street Cottages, which consists of eight exquisitely detailed homes in an existing Langley neighborhood originally zoned for four larger houses. It sold out immediately, and within months the national press picked up the story. Since then, Chapin has completed eight other pocket neighborhoods throughout the Northwest with The Cottage Company or other developers. Last year, the partners' Greenwood Avenue Cottages, in Shoreline, Wash., won a national AIA Housing Committee Award.
On his Web site, Chapin calls these cottages "the equivalent of the Mini Cooper—small, sensual, well-engineered, and reliable." And indeed, just as the Mini's market appeal is its design and performance, Chapin doesn't use the D word when discussing the cottage concept, even though it is denser than the typical new-home development. He wants to make these homes so inviting that people who can afford more space actually choose less. When they're offered an intimate neighborhood with carefully articulated public and private spaces, he believes people will choose quality over quantity, and a street-friendly approach to security over a gated community of big houses and big yards. "I'm trying to create models other people can step into, take for a spin, and be inspired by," he says. "Hopefully a homebuyer can walk into a house that's 1,000 square feet, metaphorically kick the tires, and say, 'Oh, this isn't that small.' Or they'll say, 'I couldn't live in anything this size, but it makes me think about how much time and money I spend taking care of my house.'"
Few would question the need to broaden the housing palette. Chapin points out that demographic statistics put the number of one-person U.S. households at roughly 40 percent, and 60 percent are one- and two-person households. That's a large group of people for whom a big home on a 7,000-square-foot lot may not make sense in terms of space, money, or time spent on upkeep. By offering a detached alternative to townhouses and condos in single-family neighborhoods, he aims to provide the missing link between home and a spirit of camaraderie that both multifamily dwellings and 250-home suburban subdivisions ignore.

Big Waves, Big Winds, sees Triple S riders go Big!
The South West winds delivered big conditions for Day 5 of the Triple S Invitational. Following the round up of the Slicks Finals held in the morning, riders, judges and spectators moved south, to Cape Hatteras.
Riders were judged on their kicker hits for the Surf discipline, and with the ocean delivering juicy ramps it was an impressive spectacle. A solid 30 knts of wind meant everyone was lit on 5m and 7m Kites and was not for the faint hearted.
As the women's heat got underway, it was clear to see which riders had more experience in such testing conditions. NKB Team Rider Colleen Carroll chose a 6m Dice, a kite with great performance in strong winds. Settling into the heat, riders searched for ramps to hit and as time passed, confidence built throughout the girls with stylish grabs and unhooked moves scoring high with the judges.
With wind and waves still building, the men hit the water. Currents ripped down the coast making it hard to stay up wind and a disaster if anyone crashed their kite. Craig Cunningham unfortunately missed out on making the finals but put in a good performance dialling in a Shifty to Wrapped and Back Mobe. Tom Court, on a 7m Vegas breezed through to the finals with a Crow Mobe, Tootsie Roll and Toe Side 5.
Speaking to Aaron Hadlow he said, "It was really challenging and hard to find the kicker you needed. The conditions were unpredictable but still fun to ride and see what was possible to achieve"
The results will be announced this evening at the closing ceremony. Be sure to check out the video from the Surf discipline here http://www.triplesinvitational.com/on-demand/2014/day-5-highlights/
The new Directionals are available!
Small waves - big waves, shore break - reef break, powerful swell - less powerful swell, fast waves - slow waves, and so on. The variety of conditions in wave riding are endless. Even more important to have the right choice of boards for any conditions all over the world. Getting barreled with the Kontact in Mauritius, rippin your local shorebreak with the Whip, going on a kite and surftip just with one board, the Whip Xsurf or even just play around on flat water with the Nugget. It doesn't matter what you're up to, you'll find exactly the right board for your needs and wishes.
Since a long time North Kiteboarding is putting a lot of effort into the development of wave boards. Every year again, Sky Solbach, North Kiteboarding legend and wave board shaper is trying to find new directions and ideas to make every single board even better then the year before. Also this year we're using the well tested bamboo construction, although the designs just show a little bit of Bamboo, as it was the time to do a step forward in progressional board design. Even in contests, any team rider is just using production boards, also proofing quality and performance in this special field. Just recently with four top 3 results in Mens and Womens at the KSP wave tour in Mauritius.
Boards for the Pros, but also for anybody looking forward to the next trip or the weekend to finally enjoy the closest home spot with the most amazing boards. Join the next test event and convince yourself!

Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the glands that make saliva. When the pancreas is diseased or inflamed, amylase releases into the blood.
A test can be done to measure the level of this enzyme in your blood.
Amylase may also be measured with a urine test. See amylase - urine .
a blood sample is taken from a vein [01-003423]
No special preparation is needed. However, you should avoid alcohol before the test. The health care provider may ask you to stop taking drugs that may affect the test. NEVER stop taking any medicines without first talking to your doctor.
Drugs that can increase amylase measurements include:
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is most often used to diagnose or monitor acute pancreatitis . It may also detect some digestive tract problems.
The test may also be done for the following conditions:
The normal range is 23 to 85 units per liter (U/L). Some laboratories give a range of 40 to 140 U/L.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased blood amylase levels may occur due to:
Decreased amylase levels may occur due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:

But I didn't....it is not posted. How do I refresh, or am I going to loose my draft? Thanks for the help!This occured after being sent back due to oversized attach.
It may be a feature of the browser, but since I switched a few years back to Chrome, whenever I encounter such an error, when I BACK to the previous page, the text is almost always still there.
I wonder if that is new to FireFox - when I was posting our build thread last year, that happened to me a few times as photos were too big/too many/whatever, and "back" did not return me to the text so I would have to start over. It was VERY frustrating. I learned to save the text in my browser until I was sure it posted...
Don, I hear many good things about Fire Fox....can you tell me anything you don't like about it? Thanks!

Oberlin claims first state golf title
Published on -5/21/2013, 10:07 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By BRETT MARSHALL
Special to The HDN
DODGE CITY -- On the closing holes at Mariah Hills Golf Course on Monday during the Class 2A boys state golf tournament, Oberlin's Kade Brown, the defending champion, had his sights on a repeat title.
He was just 1-over-par with three holes left and although he didn't know it at the time, was leading Elkhart's Hunter Burnett by three shots.
Then the unthinkable happened.
Brown, who is headed to Creighton University next year, finished double-bogey, bogey, bogey, and a 5-over-par 76, and was edged by Burnett by one shot for medalist honors. Brown won a playoff for second against Jared Oelke of Ellinwood on the first hole of sudden death.
The disappointment of not repeating as individual champion was quickly erased minutes later when the final team scores were tabulated. Brown, his teammates, and his new coach -- his mom, Carol -- all watched as the 339 score for the Red Devils was three shots in front of runner-up Sterling. Ellis was third with a 343.
"It's been an incredible year for these kids," coach Brown said. "I've been with these boys over the years, driving them to junior tournaments, so I know most of them. I had some of them in kindergarten, so I think there's been a sense of familiarity for all of us."
The team title was the first in school history for the golf program, with the previous best coming in 1983 when the Devils finished second behind Ellis at Hesston Golf Course.
Brown was hired as the Devils coach after longtime Oberlin coach Richard Alberg retired at the end of the 2012 season after more than 30 years.
"The job came open, and I just thought it might be a good opportunity to see the boys play more," coach Brown said. "They're a really good group of boys. I really haven't had any problems with them. They've worked very hard to get here."
Coach Brown said her veteran team of four seniors and two underclassmen, including her youngest son, freshman Kelly, was focused on making a run at the state title.
"We looked at regional scores and felt like we would be in the running," coach Brown said. "But I wouldn't have guessed we'd win with the score we had. I had penciled in something like 321 that it might take to place. I was really surprised at how tough it played."
In addition to Kade Brown's 76, the Red Devils got an 82 from the younger Brown, which tied him for seventh, but then saw him finish 11th after a playoff. Then it was all the way to a 90 by Zach Mayand a 91 by Tyler Bruggerman to round out the Devils' scoring. Ryan May posted a 95 and Logan Berry a 96 for the non-counting scores.
Ellis coach Matt Carroll, wasn't surprised by the down-to-the-wire battle with Oberlin and Sterling.
Skyler Tebo led the way with a 78 and finished fourth after winning a three-way playoff from Sterling's Brogan Jones and Meade's Austin Jansonius.
Tyler Walters finished seventh by winning that crowded 6-man playoff at 82. Gage Younger was next for the Railroaders with an 87, followed by Tanner Fischer's 96. The non-counting scores were Josh Tway and Ryan Downing with 101s.
"We beat Oberlin, they beat us during the season. We knew it would be a tight race," Carroll said of the battle of the teams that came out of the same regional a week ago. "I'm surprised at the high scores. I would not have expected that. I really felt we'd have to shoot 325 to have a chance to win. I gave the kids a number. But the greens were a little tougher, perhaps a little quicker than they were yesterday (Sunday practice round)."
Carroll said he knew this might be the Railers' best chance to claim their first state title since that 1983 win over Oberlin.
"This was the year we knew we'd have our best chance," said Carroll, who watched his team improve from fifth a year ago.
"We just struggled at times and couldn't put a finish to the round. I feel like, despite the struggle, we were fortunate to finish third and feel really good about taking home a team trophy."

Eve of FanFest
The All-Star Game is still five days away, but FanFest starts the entertainment tomorrow and baseball history will be there.
The Hall of Fame team is putting the finishing touches on our FanFest exhibit in Phoenix, luckily unimpeded by the remarkable dust storm that hit the city Tuesday night – a fast-moving wall of dirt that was reported as a mile high and a hundred miles wide! Safe inside the Phoenix Convention Center, the last pieces to go into place will be used for presentations.
The opportunity to explore the host city is one of the fringe benefits of working at FanFest. We've taken advantage of this trip by going to the Heard Museum, with exhibits demonstrating and interpreting the arts and cultures of the Native peoples of the Americas. It's an impressive collection and inspiring for us to see how another world-class museum works.
We also visited the Arizona Latino Art and Cultural Center, a thriving studio, gallery and theater located just a block from the convention center. We'll be bringing some new ideas with us when we return to Cooperstown.
For this year's FanFest, we're bringing some gems from our film archive, including highlights from the 1971 All-Star Game. Forty years ago, baseball's best put on a memorable hitting display in Detroit, with six home runs by future Hall of Famers. We'll also show highlights from the game 10 years later, 1981, when Gary Carter led the National League to victory. Another video program celebrates the Arizona Diamondbacks thrilling, seven-game defeat of the New York Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
Our live programs include a hands-on review of the evolution of equipment, showing examples of the bats, balls, gloves and other "tools of the trade" that major leaguers have used over the game's many years, and giving fans a chance to take a close look at the latest innovative equipment.
Our most popular live program returns this year: Hall of Fame Trivia. Fans can test their knowledge of baseball history, compete for prizes and have a lot of fun. If you are in the area for the All-Star Game, join the festivities and stop over and see the Hall of Fame team.
Lenny DiFranza is the assistant curator of new media at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

RMH Healthcare invites students from diverse backgrounds who are studying in a health care related field to apply for Diversity in Healthcare Scholarships.
For the spring semester, four $2,500 scholarships are available to students who reside in the RMH service area that includes the counties of Rockingham, Augusta, Page and Shenandoah and the cities of Harrisonburg, Staunton and Waynesboro. Students who have been accepted to or attend Blue Ridge Community College, Bridgewater College, Eastern Mennonite University, Mary Baldwin College, James Madison University or Shenandoah University but do not live in the RMH service area are eligible also.
"The health care needs of our country and our local community are growing rapidly, but we do not have the same growth in health care professionals, particularly those from diverse backgrounds" said Silvia Garcia-Romero, RMH cultural diversity manager. "As our population becomes more diverse, we want to ensure that we also have a diversified workforce that is reflective of the community we serve."
Applicants will be reviewed based on GPA, bilingual and bicultural background, degree type and leadership in the community.
To be considered, applications should be sent by Oct. 30 to Garcia-Romero at email@example.com. Applicants must complete and submit the following to be considered:
Applicants may be selected for an in-person interview after they have completed the application process. This year's scholarships are funded by a grant from the VA Health Workforce Development Authority.
To obtain an application, contact Silvia Garcia-Romero at 540-689-1180. More information is available at RMHonline.com.

At age 29, Rams running back Steven Jackson is supposed to be getting dangerously close to hitting that proverbial wall. He's supposed to be in decline. He's supposed to be losing a step.
Someone apparently forgot to tell Jackson that.
These last couple games against the 49ers and Jets have been eye openers to those who considered #39 to be washed up. 182 yards rushing on 42 carries (an average of more than 4.3 yards per attempt) are quite impressive...especially given the defenses he's faced.
There was one play that truly made my jaw drop a couple weeks ago in San Francisco. Needing a couple yards for a first down the Rams handed the ball to Jackson, who met star LB Patrick Willis in the hole. Jackson's helmet actually ended up coming off. But that didn't stop #39. Know what he did? He actually CARRIED Willis through the hole for a couple more yards.
Jackson looked completely deranged on that play. Like a mad man who was possessed. Almost as if he was fighting to show the world he isn't washed up, as if he still has what it takes to be an elite running back in this league.
Granted, the Las Vegas native's statistics for the season aren't all that special. He's averaging 3.9 yards per carry and isn't even on pace to break 1000 yards for the year. He's got just two touchdowns too.
So, no, no one would actually consider him to be among the league's elite. He can't compare to the likes of Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster. Expecting someone who takes a beating week after week, year after year, like Jackson to remain as explosive as he was in 2006 is unreasonable.
But he's still beating defenders to the corner. He's still running over larger, younger linebackers. He's still effective picking up the blitz.
Most importantly, he's still the unquestioned leader on this team. Rookies look up to him. They watch the way he handles his business and try to emulate him.
Jackson may not be around here for much longer simply based on the economics of the sport and how much he will cost them. Other teams, contending teams, just might be willing to pay a little more (or have the ability to pay a little more) than the Rams.
But that doesn't change the fact that it's very premature to consider Jackson finished. He's running as hard now as he ever has. There is still plenty left in that 6'2", 240 pound tank.

Blue Sapphire gemstones are some of the most beautiful and rare natural gemstones and therefore a popular choice for engagement rings. Blue sapphires are blue color gemstones--a rare kind of the mineral corundum, an aluminium oxide. Sapphires can also be found in colors, including pink, yellow, and white. The Blue sapphire is known as the gem of truth and symbolizes loyalty and the soul.
When shopping for a blue sapphire engagement ring, it is important to understand the 4 C's— color, clarity, cut and carat. Color is most important when pricing blue sapphires. Color in natural gemstones can be broken down into three main elements: hue, saturation, and tone. Hue is the color of the gemstone; saturation is the brightness or richness of the color. Lastly, tone is the scale of lightness to darkness of the color. Blue sapphires are found in a variety of blends of hues, tones, and levels of saturation. Blue sapphires are valued according to the intensity of their primary hue. The most common secondary hues are Purple, violet, and green.
James Allen offers an impressive collection of blue sapphires. Blue sapphires are most commonly featured in engagement and wedding rings and are especially popular among celebrities and royalty. The most famous blue sapphire engagement ring belonged to the late Princess Diana and is now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

These last few games really highlight the lack of an elite scorer or two on this team.
Let's just hope the bad luck is all used up in these shitty games and we bury pucks come the real season.
Is miller as bad as his line in the box score tonight? Is this just a matter of the limited chances were high quality or are these softies?
Sure would like to have Perron back and send them Berglund instead. I'd even let them keep Paajarvi as well. Berglund has been awful this year again like the prior 3 years.

Autocracy will return to Europe not dispatched by colonels atop tanks this time, but by cosmopolitan civil servants, economists and public intellectuals who as likely as not give money to Amnesty International and Medecins Sans Frontieres. Its partisans will be witty and dapper and subscribe to the RSS feed of The Sartorialist. And the passage to post-democracy will be unhurried but throughout, it will be tweetily endorsed and blogged about and the videos explaining why it is necessary will be uploaded to Vimeo, the 'artisanal' online video service, not just YouTube.
Currently on rolling release throughout Europe, there's a slick new documentary, Girlfriend in a Coma, by Italian journalist Annalisa Piras and Bill Emmott, the natty former editor of The Economist, based on his 2012 book, Good Italy, Bad Italy, about the risible state the country finds itself in.
The film charts the decline of the country under the rule of Caligulean Berlusconism over the past two decades, and takes a broadly pro-Monti shock-therapy line. It takes its name from the song by seminal Eighties sensitive indie-boy (and allegedly David Cameron) favourites The Smiths and features the thinking girl's (or boy's) piece of crumpet, Benedict 'Sherlock' Cumberbatch, as the voice of Dante. It's high-brow, art-house, but classical-liberal Michael Moore.
(Quite literally art-house, as it happens. The continental premiere in Brussels, which features a Q&A with both filmmakers, will be at the Italian Cultural Institute on Thursday (17th January) and is sponsored by one of the only two picture houses on the continent that shows silent films accompanied by a live pianist, the city's Cinematek. And its UK premiere in December was at the Institute for Contemporary Arts – the fountainhead of Britain's arts avant-garde).
The problems with the Montabulous package of austerity and structural-adjustment economics backed by the film's authors – further public sector cuts, spending limits, flat taxes, privatisation and labour market deregulation – are actually not that interesting to me. They would of course be economically disastrous and unjust, hitting ordinary people hardest, but the filmmakers and other partisans of such liberalising policies are certainly within their rights to their position and to fight their corner.
What is much more worthy of being flagged is how the filmmakers even as they lament the dismantling of democracy under Berlusconi, they fawn over Mario Monti and effectively endorse the undemocratic shenanigans that it took to parachute him into power, as well as the ongoing democratically unorthodox manoeuvres that have been employed to achieve such policies both domestically and across Europe.
What is also striking is how Emmott and Piras have clearly learnt from the mis-packaging of shock therapy elsewhere, dropping the wooden-tongued language of troikas and European Council presidents, and instead talk of a risorgimento, or even rinascimento – a renaissance and transformation of Italian society. The Bunga-bungocracy of Berlusconi naturally has made this sort of discourse so much easier than elsewhere, allowing the filmmakers to focus as much on corruption, patronage, nepotism, tax evasion, defeating the mafia, media monopolies – and, crucially, the denigration of women – as they do on the alleged barriers to 'success' constructed by the usual villains: trade unions, the public sector, and 'overspending'.
And it's not supposed to be just a film – it bills itself as the "Campaign to Wake Italy Up". It wants to be a movement, an Italian Spring, aiming to both convince foreigners of its authors' narrative of events in the country and galvanise the young Italian diaspora – the million or so expatriate Italians outside the country, many of them graduates – into participating in a liberal transformation of the country. Viewers are encouraged to upload their own ideas to the film's website, while the oven-ready hashtags #wakeitalyup and #italiandiaspora are waiting to go viral (albeit presumably only amongst those bilingual ex-pats).
I imagine it will be embraced by a number of my mates of the Italian disposition and otherwise in the Belgian capital too. A week ago, I wrote a piece entitled the Shepherding of Italian Democracy, critical of unelected technocrat Prime Minister Monti and his cowardice in not presenting himself and his ideas for election. A reader tweeted me, responding to the article and saying: "If Italians in the eurobubble could vote, Monti would easily get 70% of preferences."
I don't think everyone feels this way in the eurobubble. I know far too many people in Brussels – true believers in the European project – that are horrified by what Brussels (and Frankfurt and Berlin) is doing.
But there probably is a glint of truth to this figure. And these people are not natural conservatives. These are people who adore Obama and hated Bush. People who support gay marriage – who may even be gay. People who support EU justice commissioner Viviane Reding's push to get more women in the boardroom.
And they'll say that they of course support democracy – and think that they mean it. But at the same time, when you really push them, they say that they just don't trust ordinary people to vote 'the right way'. They support EU efforts to take fiscal decision-making out of the hands of parliaments, lest voters spend their way to oblivion. After a few drinks, they dismiss 'most people' as stupid. A few drinks more and they call them 'the mob'.
It's this lack of trust in regular people, this unacknowledged attitude that there is a group of experts who know better than everyone else, this belief that there need to be checks on democracy, that frightens. Girlfriend in a Coma's emphasis on the bright, young, hyper-educated Italian diaspora speaks volumes about the filmmakers' lack of confidence in all other sorts of Italian voters.
The Erasmus-generation fans of this film will be hip. They're crisply dressed. They like independent cinema and museums and all the right music. They're friends of mine, and they're a great laugh and multi-lingual and smart.
And they're autocrats.
A quick word on what this blog's going to be about.

As the holidays approach, parents often wonder what toys are safe for their little ones. When making your list and checking it twice, here are some tips to ensure that toys are appropriate for the age and developmental stage of your giftees.
For younger children/infants:
- Make sure all parts are larger than the child's mouth. Most children age 3 and under consistently put toys in their mouth, and some older children do as well. A small-parts tester, or "no-choke tube" is about the size of a small child's airway and can be purchased to test parts if you are unsure. If a part or toy fits inside the tube, it's too small to be safe.
- When buying stuffed toys, look for embroidered or secured parts rather than pieces (such as eyes or noses) that could be removed and swallowed. Remove all loose strings and ribbons. Avoid animals with stuffing made of small pellets or material that could cause choking. Be aware that stuffed toys given away at carnivals, fairs, or in vending machines are not required to meet safety standards, so be especially careful with these!
- When buying hanging toys for cribs, ensure that the child cannot grab any portion, and that strings or wires are short. These types of toys should be removed when the infant can push up onto his or her hands and knees.
- Keep plush toys and loose, soft bedding out of the cribs of infants and young children as these can cause suffocation.
For all children:
- Look for labeling on the package that indicates what ages the toy is appropriate for. Remember that this doesn't have to do with how smart your child is, it is based on physical and developmental skills for his or her age group and should be followed.
- Ensure that batteries are ....

Requests for Quotation, Requests for Information come the way of the sales force in Mentor Graphics frequently. Prospective customers ask for testimonials, competence, references and proof of functionality.
Following on from my last posting here is what I found. My experience, my analysis of the data.
These requirements in total over all documents I reviewed show a very even split. Hundreds of individual expressions of … the software should be … we are looking for … it is essential that … and so forth.
A: a quarter pertain to the need to model reality of the cabling harness product adequately, accurately. The technical complexity and variation in the engineering, if not catered for will result in workarounds and compromises. If the model is deficient, eventually the deficiencies bring down the efficacy of the whole system. Likewise if the process of engineering change or the workflow of design cannot be wholly encompassed by the functionality the software is not usable.
B: a quarter indicate the desire of the potential owner of the software suite to derive business benefits from owning the software. Let's express that simply. More for less. Eliminate waste, maximize efficiency. And other things like that.
C: a quarter of the expressed wishes related to the fact of professional life electrical interconnect systems are understood by reference to Computer Aided Design artifacts – blueprint outputs, drawings, schematics and the like which have standards to which organizations choose to adhere. The CAD is vital and the CAD outputs style are constrained by convention, compulsion and custom.
D: a quarter of the "must haves" or "criticals" or "key" or "really important" requirements reflected the need for interoperability in the Enterprise. Downstream, sometimes upstream, out to MRP/ERP, to manufacturing, to simulators, test equipment, across geographies and time zones everything is interdependent. Integration of systems could be a huge hidden cost. Everything has to play nice together. No interoperability no gain.
A – Adequate model of product and process
B – Business Benefit to be derived from ownership of the system
C – CAD outputs to meet the customer/internal needs
D – Definitely Interoperable
A bit of a linguistic squeeze but a reasonable A-B-C-D isolation of 4 critical categories into which individual requirements can be slotted.
The rough parity was interesting, and it suprised me. I wasn't expecting it.
In the analysis I did there was roughly a quarter for each of these principles. The lowest under 25% was B – and this makes sense because you tend not to tell your potential suppliers of software tools we would spend a million to solve this problem because we are losing five million a year – because you fear that you are encouraging the vendor to set the price to $999,999.50 and argue you are getting a great deal. The highest over 25% was C – reflecting the prevalent worry that if the appearance of CAD outputs in every last detail is not correct then the difficulty in changing history, practice, plotting devices, customer willingness to modify their deliverables etc. is scary. Change often is, and learning a new system, a new way of designing, new paradigms, new workflows – then who wants the bother of having to tear up all the drawing standards and start over?
Balance is a good sign. Imbalance can be a problem across these categories. A & C are tactical to a CHS user's business, B and D are more strategically aligned to that business's top level goals and initiatives. So where I see a skew to A&C combining to a lot more than 50% I know that this orgnization is devolving a lot of responsibility to engineers, empowering them and I have learned to ask questions about the extent of executive level backing in the organization because if those elements are missing the implementation project will quickly run into problems. The reverse is true, if I see an RFQ biased towards the need to interface to an enterprise's mechanical CAD solution, the Product Lifecycle Management solution and to provide feeds to the Management Information System I know there is somwthing missing. I suspect if an RFQ refers to VP level quality initiatives or uses buzzwords e.g. "alignment harmonization" which need some digging to find out what the substance is behind them – I suspect that the adoption phase of CHS may well run into user level resistance – where is the balancing set of requirements that the circuit list table headings really really must be in a particular column order or else? Also there is a difference in emphasis in individual cases – a build to print supplier of harnesses for medical equipment has different needs and expresses them differently than an organization designing the electrical interconnect for satellites and missiles. Over the cable/wiring harness design and manufacturing sector as a whole the similarities become more pronounced the closer towards a macro view you are getting reviewing the requests.
Ok. So here's an important point. I don't know as well as you do what you want. Only you know that. But I have seen a lot of what other people in similar situations have said about what they want. So I do have a pretty good chance of understanding you when I listen.
Are A-B-C-D all necessary and sufficent?
If you don't have B – why bother? Upper Management will kill the project stone dead as soon as the proposal is elevated to them. If the software, the system is falling short on A & C – then things become very difficult as the small things add up to a large problem in the end. But there's a certain amount of slack here, a learning curve, configuration and usage to learn, plug-ins and add-ons to trial. If a vendor is hopeless at or can't do D – the systems interoperability a sophisticated enterprise needs – but the rest of the package looks brilliant, then you might decide to purchase and build a D solution yourself. But this of course impacts the B – the business benefit, the Return on investment looks worse than it might.
The value when evaluating vendors is that you have four quadrants in which you can assess whether your chosen solution is a technical good fit and is with a suitable business partner. Both are vital. You are looking for a vendor who has both the technical domain expertise and the committment to you as a customer which will help you acheive your organizational goals (for example reduced cycle time, improved quality etc.) as a trusted partner over the next decade or more.
I believe it is efficient to eliminate the following (just for now – not for all time): Requirements that your vendor has a support or training offering of a certain type. Requirements about operating system platforms or specialist IT considerations (must use EJAX with Pineapple Sauce) – toss that to one side and come back to it. Stick to A-B-C-D. That's the first priority group of questions to be answered.
Once you select a software supplier based on these criteria – special IT needs (additions to cost of ownership) have a context where the benefit of owning the application is understood – the benefits of ownership, the value and return for investment is clear. As for Training and Support, on site consulting, professional services, applications engineering – well if the commercial off-the-shelf offering is best of breed ( wins A-B-C-D test) then you would probably expect that vendor to back their product with good staff. It usually does work that way.
Lastly – is there budget? Sometimes funding is secured in parallell to the technical feasibility studies, the RFQ and vendor selection, sometimes it is done prior. And sometimes the plug is pulled half-way through the process because Credit Default Swap Derivatives this or housing market collapse that or company X is aquired by company Y. Ignore that too for the present (as much as you can) and dance like no accountant is watching you.
Test the competence of potential vendors in categories A, B, C and D. Then proceed to detailed system evaluation with the vendor that comes out on top.
Congratulations you have saved a pile of time and money.

Opisthotonos is a condition in which the body is held in an abnormal position. The person is usually rigid and arches the back, with the head thrown backward. If a person with opisthotonos lies on his or her back, only the back of the head and the heels touch the supporting surface.
See: Abnormal posturing
Opisthotonos is much more common in infants and children than in adults. It is also more exaggerated in infants and children because of their less mature nervous systems.
Opisthotonos may occur in infants with meningitis . It may also occur as a sign of reduced brain function or injury to the nervous system.
Other causes may include:
Drugs such as phenothiazines and other antipsychotic medications, can cause a side effect called acute dystonic reaction. Opisthotonos may be part of this reaction.
In rare cases, infants born to women who drink large amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may have opisthotonus due to alcohol withdrawal.
A person who develops opisthotonos will need to be cared for in a hospital.
Go to the emergency room or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if this symptom occurs. Typically opisthotonos is a symptom of other conditions that are serious enough for a person to seek medical attention.
This condition will be evaluated in a hospital, and emergency measures may be taken.
The health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination to look for the cause of opisthotonos
Medical history questions may include:
The physical examination will include a complete check of the nervous system.
Tests may include:
