Berkeley County School District Communications Director Amy Kovatch has been indicted by a Berkeley County Grand Jury for her role in the districts Yes for Schools campaign, waged to garner public support for a countywide referendum.
South Carolina Attorney Generals Office spokesman Mark Powell confirmed the news this afternoon.
Powell said that Kovatch faces a possible $5,000 fine or one year in prison if she is convicted.
An indictment was returned today by the Berkeley County Grand Jury, Powell said. Amy Kovatch was indicted on one count of Violation of the Ethics Act; Use of Public Funds to Influence the Outcome of an Election.
The offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 or up to one year in prison. Attorney General Alan Wilson stresses that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Finally, the investigation remains ongoing.
Powell refused to comment on the likelihood that more indictments may be forthcoming. Specifically, Superintendent Rodney Thompson and Deputy Superintendent Archie Franchini were also targets of a SLED investigation regarding the Yes campaign.
Im happy that the attorney general didnt just sweep this under the rug and that he felt this was serious, Berkeley County Republican Party Chairman Terry Hardesty said.
Hardesty said he was not surprised by the indictment, and in fact expects more.
I read about 2,500 emails between the three principles of the investigation, he said. Im not surprised at all. Id be surprised if there are not more indictments.
Hardesty former school board member confirmed that he has settled his own lawsuit against the school district he filed last year after the board limited the time he could address it. Hardesty called a report that his settlement with the school board was $65,000 accurate.
It was substantially more than the $10,000 and attorneys fees, and an apology, that I would have agreed to three months ago, Hardesty said. I went to go speak my mind about what they were doing over the SLED investigation and they shut me up.
Hardesty said he planned to address the board again at its Tuesday night meeting in Moncks Corner.
I intend to speak to the board again tonight, he said. I implore them again to quit spending public money for attorneys (for employees) that are under criminal investigation. A criminal act is just not an act of good faith.

A year after decimating their cross-country competition at regionals and state, the Incline girls showed they are still top contenders among the Division III ranks despite losing their top guns.
With all five of their scoring runners finishing among the top eight, three of whom are freshmen, the Incline girls claimed the team title at the Northern Division III regional championships at Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno on Friday.
The regional title marked the fourth in a row for the Incline girls, who will now seek a fourth consecutive state championship this week in Boulder City.
Incline head coach Bill Devine said he knew his young team had the depth to challenge for the regional title, but he didn't want to be overly confident with rival North Tahoe also fielding a solid young team.
"You can do whatever you want on paper, but you have to show up for the race," Devine said, adding that the Highlanders are "in a good cycle right now" with quality middle school coaching and programs feeding into the high school.
Freshman Stephanie Homola led the way Friday, as she finished second to North Tahoe sophomore Tara Gallant in a time of 21:26 over the 5-kilometer course. Gallant finished in 21:11.
Another Incline freshman, Hannah Laurie, was third overall in 21:47, while fellow Incline runners Kate Ballan was fifth in 22:07, Haley Kennedy was sixth in 22:08 and Julia Golimbik was eighth in 22:19 to round out Incline's top five scores (the number used toward the team result).
That gave the Highlanders the team title with ease, as they posted a low score of 24 points to runner-up North Tahoe's 55. Sierra Lutheran was third with 75.
Incline also fared well outside of its top five, as Sophia Mourelatos was 10th in 22:37 and Molly Franklin 11th in 22:56.
A total of 68 runners competed, and eight schools.
The Incline boys might have brought home a regional title as well if it weren't for North Tahoe.
As they've done all year, the Laker boys dominated en route to the regional title, posting the top four finishes overall. Incline came in second by a score of 23-47. Sage Ridge was third at 102 and Sierra Lutheran fourth at 113.
North Tahoe junior Noah McDermott won the individual title in a time of 17:32, while Incline senior Levi Dodge led the Highlanders with a sixth-place finish in 18:01.
Incline's Josh Lewis was eighth in 18:08, Evan Vomund was ninth in 18:09, Owen Graffis was 10th in 18:09 and Matthew Hanna was 14th in 18:50. Dylan Smith was 15th in 18:50 and Daniel Baron was 16th in 19:07.
There were 68 runners in the race, and 10 schools.
The Incline boys' second-place finish qualifies them for the state championship, as the top four teams from the North advanced (only one team from the South).

WARRIORS MARK - Farming is in George Lake's blood.
After retiring as a pilot from Continental Airlines in 2006, Lake, who also was a pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps, came back to his roots to run the family farm, now known as Thistle Creek Farms near here in Franklin Township.
"I always liked farming from the time I was a kid. This is romance for me," Lake said.

George Lake and his border collie, Mac, move sheep at Thistle Creek Farms
The farm, formerly known as Greystone Farms, was founded by Lake's grandfather - also named George Lake - in 1921.
Today, the 66-year-old Lake raises about 450 head of cattle - his specialty is raising grass-fed beef - and 100 sheep on 400 acres.
He started raising grass-fed beef about 25 years ago when he came home from the Marine Corps. While working as a pilot for Continental, he said he found time to farm between flight assignments.
"I was farming and flying. It was a fantastic job," Lake said.
Grass-fed beef has become quite popular among foodies and those interested in healthy living, Lake said.
"It started out as a health food thing but has become a more marketable entity," Lake said.
Grass-fed beef has several advantages over feedlot beef, he said. Beef raised on grass has significantly more Omega-3 fatty acids, which he said are essential to human nutrition.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is found in higher amounts in grass-fed beef, along with increased levels of Vitamin E, Lake said.
"CLA has natural anti-carcinogenic properties that make a powerful impact on your diet. Vitamin E is an antioxidant vitamin that helps neutralize free radicals in your body," Lake said.
Raising grass-fed beef can be advantageous financially, said Dan Kniffen, assistant professor of dairy and animal sciences at Penn State University. He and his wife, Dr. Ann Swinker, operate Windy Butte Ranch-Kniffen Livestock in Spring Mills.
"You can avoid the use of concentrated feeds that right now are somewhat higher priced and there is a segment of the beef-eating population that believe eating grass-fed beef is being environmentally sensitive," Kniffen said.
Lake uses special grasses where his animals graze - the grasses come from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and Romania.
"Our main goal is to raise grass-fed beef on the best grasses from around the world. They provide a great tasting product as well as the health benefits of beef raised on grass," Lake said. "They are very sweet, high-nutrient grasses, and the cattle really like them. They are rotated every day."
Lake said the cattle graze year round, even when there is snow on the ground. He said they can graze through snow as long as there is not a crust on the snow to keep them from getting down to the grass.
Most of Lake's cattle are Aberdeen Angus, and the sheep are a cross between St. Croix and white dorper.
Some of the animals are taken to Smucker's Meats in Mount Joy, where they are butchered and processed.
"I believe that George's approach to grass fed beef is better than most. He has done a lot of research on different grasses and uses ones that work well in his climate. That has helped him bring cattle to market a little earlier with fairly consistent quality," owner Jay Smucker said.
The grass fed beef is sold at Wegman's in State College, as well as five-star restaurants and farmers' markets in the Pittsburgh and Harrisburg areas. The sheep go mostly to farmers' markets in Lancaster and New York City.
Todd Strassner, Wegman's store manager, said Thistle Creek Farms' meat is popular there.
"Customers like that they are able to buy a local product that is of good quality. A lot of our educated customers want local beef, " Strassner said. "It is another unique thing that Wegman's carries for its customers. The meat comes in individual packages. The ground beef is the most popular."
Lake said sales of his grass-fed beef are continuing to grow.
"Last year we sold 120 finished animals. This year, we expect about 140 and in two years we will be at 200. We are growing. We started with 30 when we started grass feeding," Lake said. "Our profit margin is better than in most farming enterprises I have been in. This is a niche market; profit margins are better in niche markets."
Thistle Creek Farms is a family business, Lake said.
His wife, Christy, a retired fifth-grade teacher, helps with paperwork. His son, Chris, a pilot with United Airlines, helps on the farm and his daughter, Laura Newlin, a veterinarian, does some of the vet work.
The children eventually will take over the farm, but not any time soon, Lake said.
Lake, who was named Outstanding Pasture Producer of the Year by the Pennsylvania Forage and Grassland Council in 2012, said he has no immediate plans to retire.

The Colorado Buffaloes are counting on the past repeating itself so they can avoid ending up on the wrong side of history.
To avoid the worst record since the program�s inception in 1890, the Buffs will have to upset Utah, which was installed as a three-touchdown favorite today at Folsom Field.
The Utes were also a 21-point favorite a year ago when the Buffaloes ended their division title hopes with a 17-14 win at Salt Lake City to end a school-record 23-game road losing streak.
�We had nothing to lose,� senior defensive end Will Pericak said.
And this time, they have infamy to avoid.
If the Utes win, the Buffaloes will go winless at home for the first time since 1920.
�We can�t be the only team to lose every game at home. I don�t think anybody wants that, so we�re all pretty motivated,� senior tight end Nick Kasa said. �We know that they�re still motivated from last year, probably pretty angry about that. This is our rivalry game; we just have to win it.�
The Buffaloes have been outscored by an average of 46-16, and they�ve lost seven in a row since their lone win, 35-34 at Washington State. During that streak, they�ve allowed an average of more than 50 points.
Last week, they hit a new low when a miscommunication from the sideline led to the Buffs running a quarterback sneak on first down that gained about a foot.
All this losing has gotten to the Buffs, who started the season with hopes of a bowl bid before losses to archrival Colorado State and lower-tier Sacramento State were followed by a 55-point defeat at Fresno State.
�Yeah, it�s really embarrassing,� junior defensive back Terrell Smith said. �It stinks to be categorized as the worst team, but there is nothing that we can do.�
Except win.
�It would be tough� to go down as the first 11-loss team in school history, Pericak said.
�That would not be something we want,� he said. �It�s horrible to think about. I know for a fact that we�re getting better, so I don�t want to think about that really.�
If they�re getting better, it sure isn�t showing up on game day.
The Utes also are capping a disappointing season.
�We wanted to have the seniors go out of their home stadium on a positive note. We didn�t get that done. We got one more opportunity to send them out on a positive note,� Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said.
The Buffaloes, though, are motivated by avoiding infamy.
�What I�ve been telling the guys is I don�t even want you to play for me or just play for the seniors,� said Kasa, one of just eight seniors on the Buffaloes roster. �Play for yourselves. Because we can�t be that team that never won at home. That�s just embarrassing to me and to this team. And I think everybody knows that. We�re going to go out and get this win.�
The Utes have had a tough transition to the Pac-12 after leaving the Mountain West Conference last year, though not as difficult a road as Colorado has had since bolting the Big 12, igniting the wave of conference realignment.
�The league is much better this year than it was last year, across the board,� Whittingham said. �I can�t speak for Colorado, but for us the league is elevated. There�s no doubt about that. We�re still working hard to get to the level we need to be at.�
The Utes will gain a measure of satisfaction, though, if they can win at Boulder, where the Buffaloes have lost conference games by 28, 34, 48 and 35 points.
�Colorado in the past has been a big program just like us,� Utah wide receiver Kenneth Scott said. �They feel like they should be one of the top programs just like we feel that. But going into this game we have a chip on our shoulder knowing we should be winning, but we are making those little mistakes. ... Especially coming off last year, the way they beat us, that revenge is going to be really nice.�

When pants are warn like this, his balls straddle the middle pants seam (just below the fly) thus dividing them causing the appearance of a buck knuckle. Similar to a camle toe.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
The emerging field of metabolomics would be hobbled by irresolvable technical challenges were it not for the expanding availability of user-friendly and affordable mass spec instruments. A German Research Center for Environmental Health conference, "Metabolomics & More—the Impact of Metabolomics on the Life Sciences," held last month in Munich, showcased a range of initiatives under way in commercial and academic labs that harness the power of mass spectrometry to measure and monitor the metabolome.
Klaus Weinberger, Ph.D., CSO of Biocrates, is a fan of targeted metabolomics because it allows his company to "scale-down analytical challenges and produce an accurate reflection of environmental influences on the individual subject." Dr. Weinberger discussed Biocrates' progress in uncovering new biomarkers of metabolic conditions at the meeting. "We focus on a number of current issues, including diseases with long latent phases, complex health conditions such as diabetes, and improvement of current diagnostics."
There is a paradigm shift afoot in the field of clinical diagnostics, in which high-resolution biochemical characterization of body fluids by targeted metabolomics is being counted on to facilitate the development of function-oriented diagnostics, moving from expensive immunoassays to cheaper, more specific, and more accurate mass spec assays. These new diagnostics are much more than just a positive or negative test for the condition, they also allow detailed subtyping and staging, which will direct personalized therapeutic regimens, Dr. Weinberger said.
Biocrates is concerned with a range of diagnostic markers, including screening markers for early diagnosis, prognostic biomarkers that measure disease progression, theranostic markers for optimizing drug protocols, and markers of inborn metabolic diseases for newborn screening.
The concept of inborn errors of metabolism harkens back over a century when it was first formulated by Sir Archibald Garrod, who recognized that certain diseases in newborns were the result of gene defects causing metabolites to pile up in their serum and urine. Diseases such as phenylketonuria have long been part of the neonatal testing repertoire, but the traditional methods tested for only one possible genetic disorder at a time.
It is now possible to screen newborns for a whole range of conditions, instead of using laborious and expensive one-shot assays, Dr. Weinberger said, adding that Biocrates has developed a screen for 20 to 30 single gene diseases.
Studies at Biocrates have demonstrated that mass spec-based diagnostics can provide much greater coverage, while at the same time, covering a greatly expanded range of diseases, Dr. Weinberger explained. Specifically, quantitative tandem mass spec with stable isotope dilution will meet stringent quality criteria. Depending on the needs of the diagnosis, researchers can use either a targeted metabolomics approach or metabolic profiling with a LC/MS full scan.
Biocrates' integrated technology platform combines sample preparation, analytics, and bioinformatics, which permits the processing of large numbers of samples. "Our platform can be applied to a wealth of areas, such as basic investigations, agricultural research, drug discovery, and clinical diagnostics and therapeutics."
"Measuring and monitoring the metabolome are perhaps two of the most daunting challenges of the 21st century," according to Herbert Hill, Ph.D., professor at Washington State University. Our current level of ignorance is illustrated by the fact that estimates for the number of metabolites in the human and plant metabolomes range from around 2,800 to well over 200,000. And these compounds run the gamut from polar to nonpolar, with examples of every conceivable functional group. Indeed, some classifications are so weighty that they require their own subclassification such as the lipodome and the glycome.
Chirality and a profusion of isomers add to the challenge. While nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy have been utilized for analysis of the metabolome, both approaches have their limitations. For this reason, Dr. Hill and his collaborators have focused on ion mobility mass spec (IMS) to analyze bodily fluids.
"When coupled with mass spec, ion mobility spectrometry offers value-added data not possible from mass spec alone," Dr. Hill explained. "Indeed, the two methods complement and match one another like a hand in glove and effectively become one analytical instrument."
Dr. Hill's team has confirmed the power of this technology through metabolomic studies of lymphatic fluid from rats monitored while under dietary stress. Nutritional deprivation as well as diabetes and obesity may cause various metabolic changes, which, in turn, could lead to cancer and cardiovascular disease, so the ability to closely monitor the metabolome could be a critical tool in understanding and eventually treating these conditions.

Use of Wheelchairs on Poolside
Swimmers with a disability need to have the same access to opportunities as non-disabled swimmers.
If you are the parent of a child who uses a wheelchair then here are some key facts you need be aware of:
- The law demands access routes to pools must be wheelchair-friendly and that users have access to the water.
- Some operators will not allow wheelchairs to the poolside for hygiene reasons. In this case they must provide an alternative.
- If your child's wheelchair is a special design, operators should allow it poolside. But be aware there could be constraints. For example, some operators don't allow rubber tyres as they mark the surface.
- Electric wheelchairs powered by wet batteries will not be allowed poolside because of leakage concerns.
- If you have any doubts concerning your child's wheelchair contact your local operator.

ZZ Top, Skynyrd to rock Erie
This is how you celebrate the end of summer: ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert together under the stars at Jerry Uht Park.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bands will team up with an opener to be announced on Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale July 27 at the Warner Theatre box office, at 452-4857 and online at www.erieevents.com. At press time, ticket prices were to be determined.
This show was originally scheduled for Big Flats, N.Y., but routing issues led the promoter to switch it to Erie. Lucky us.
Both bands have played Erie: ZZ Top in June 1994; Skynyrd in 2002, though they did play Lake Erie Speedway a few years later. Putting them together, though, that's like 2 plus 2 equals 5 or "Tres Hombres" plus "Gimme 3 Steps" equals 7, whichever you prefer. ZZ Top will close. Can't wait for this one.
Two other concerts are coming. Hop rapper 2Chainz will play the Bayfront Convention Center on Aug. 3. He's flying high as a featured artist on Kanye West's "Mercy" and has also collaborated with Nicki Minaj, Drake and Big K.R.I.T., among other heavy hitters. Twerk Team will open for the Georgia rapper.
Tickets are $35, $55 and $75 for VIP.
Christian rock stars the Newsboys bring their World News: God's Not Dead! tour to the Warner Theatre on Sept. 27. Building 429, Luminate and Grace Campbell will join them. Tickets are $36, $31 and $21. Tickets for both shows are on sale at 452-4857, the Warner Theatre box office and www.erieevents.com.
Roar on the Shore will keep downtown hopping for three nights. Local bars, per usual, will step up to the plate with biker-friendly bands. They're everywhere.
Rick and Roadhouse Rockers -- still one of the best -- play the Cell Block today at 6, at Harley-Davidson's new, larger location at 3712 W. 12th St. on Saturday at 3 p.m., then rip it up at Scooter's on Saturday night. Sherlock's welcomes Dekan tonight, then Hammerd on Friday and Saturday. You'll hear excellent blues emanating from the Avalon Hotel rooftop on Saturday courtesy of Dollar Bill & the Spare Change.
Look for classic American rock with Jackson Station at the Bullfrog on Friday at 6 p.m. American Ride Band convenes tonight for hard-charging rock and country at Wagon Wheel in Waterford, then at long-time biker haven French Quarter on Friday and Saturday. Last Shot welcomes Black Bear Prodigy tonight, Tombstone on Friday, then Ohio's TBS on Saturday. See Around Town for even more listings.
Victorian Princess sets sail Saturday at 7 p.m. with a creative event. Ball: 1 will feature an assortment of artists, musicians, cooks (including a sushi roller) and members of Erie Makers to fashion a for-all-senses event.
On board will be Ian Smith, Stix Thompson, the Wandering Accident, mural artist Steve Mikolajewski, sculpture artist Evan Everhart, Tom Ski, Zach Orr and more. One component includes building a huge orb of light which landlubbers may see from the shoreline. "We're just trying to throw a party, a really, really good, memorable party with some crazy stuff that hasn't happened in our area," said organizer John Bixby.
Tickets are $25 advance or $30 at dock side. Call Bixby at 490-6005.

Kozloff facing up to 47 years for murdering boyfriend (UPDATED: 4:28 p.m.)
Rachel A. Kozloff showed little emotion as she listened to a jury deliver a verdict of third-degree murder against her today, a ruling that could keep her in state prison for as long as 47 years.
Kozloff, 31, shook as she waited on the verdict, which came at 3:45 p.m. after five hours and 45 minutes of deliberations. She did not cry, and glanced at her family as she left the courtroom in handcuffs.
The eight women and four men convicted her in the April 12 shooting death of her boyfriend, Michael Henry, in his apartment at East 18th and Parade streets. His then-10-month-old son was in another room.
Kozloff, who is in the Erie County Prison, was also convicted of possessing an instrument of crime and the second-degree misdemeanor of recklessly endangering another person.
Third-degree murder, or an unpremeditated killing with malice, carries a maximum sentence of 40 years. The other two charges add a combined seven years to the maximum sentence.
Erie County Judge Shad Connelly set sentencing for Jan. 29. Kozloff would have to serve the minimum sentence before being eligible for parole. The minimum in her case could be as high as 23 years and six months.
Kozloff argued that she acted in self-defense when she fatally shot Henry inside his apartment April 12 around 10 p.m.
District Attorney Jack Daneri asked for a conviction of first-degree murder, or a premeditated killing. He said the evidence, including thousands of text messages between Kozloff and Henry, shows that she was angry at him because she suspected he was cheating on her and wanted to break off their volatile eight-week relationship.
In his instructions to the jury before deliberations, Connelly read the definitions for self-defense, or justifiable homicide; first-degree murder, and third-degree murder.
He also read the definitions for voluntary manslaughter, an unjustified killing committed under intense passion and provocation; and involuntary manslaughter, an unintentional killing due to gross negligence.
Connelly before the verdict removed an aggravated assault charge, which would have merged with the homicide charge at sentencing.
Kozloff's trial started with jury selection Monday.

on November 3, 2012 - 11:39 PM
LOCKPORT – A former Lutheran school music teacher convicted in 2005 of having sex with an underage girl over several years will get a new trial because of errors by the judge and his defense attorney.
The State Court of Appeals ruled unanimously last week that a conflict of interest existed for Michael J. Solomon's lawyer, because she was representing, in a civil matter, the police officer who testified that Solomon had confessed to the sex crimes against the girl. That conflict wasn't adequately waived, the state's highest court said.
The ruling cancels the 32-year prison sentence imposed by then-Niagara County Judge Peter L. Broderick Sr. A jury convicted Solomon of 23 counts, including rape, criminal sexual act, course of sexual conduct against a child and use of a child in a sexual performance. The latter charge resulted from taking pornographic photos of the girl, who was between the ages of 10 and 14 when Solomon was having sex with her.
Solomon, who turns 48 Friday, wouldn't have been eligible for parole until 2033.
Solomon taught drums and trumpet for 11 years at Matt's Music in North Tonawanda and also taught at two Lutheran schools, Holy Ghost in Wheatfield and St. John in North Tonawanda. The victim was not one of his students.
The new trial was ordered even though the strength of the evidence against Solomon was not questioned and even though the Court of Appeals acknowledged that defense attorney Michele G. Bergevin had done a good job cross-examining Detective Larry Kuebler of the North Tonawanda Police Department, her client in the civil case.
"The Court of Appeals now says in a situation like this, [Solomon] doesn't have to prove prejudice. It's an automatic reversal," Niagara County Assistant District Attorney Thomas H. Brandt said.
"I thought it was inevitable. They really had to reverse," said Mark J. Mahoney, the Buffalo lawyer who argued Solomon's appeal. "It was a serious violation of a well-established rule about what the judge is supposed to do when a defense attorney has a conflict of interest."
According to the Court of Appeals ruling, Solomon told Kuebler and Detective Karen Smith that he had sex with the girl once. A hearing was held to determine whether that statement was admissible.
On the day of the hearing, Bergevin told Broderick in court about her conflict of interest regarding Kuebler. She said she told Solomon about the situation, and Solomon "has agreed to waive any conflict in that regard."
"Is that correct, Mr. Solomon?" Broderick asked.
"Yes, sir," the defendant answered.
Nothing more was said about it, and the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court upheld the conviction in 2010, finding that even though the waiver of the conflict was inadequate, Solomon didn't show that it harmed his defense.
But the Court of Appeals ruled that Broderick should have taken more time to discuss with Solomon, on the record, the risks involved in having a lawyer who was simultaneously representing a prosecution witness in another case.
"The court rule is such that it does put the burden on the judge," Mahoney said. "There's no way a defense attorney should have taken on a police officer witness as a client without thoroughly going over it with the [defendant] and spreading on the record the reasons why this was not a problem."
Bergevin declined to comment on the ruling. Mahoney said there is a possibility he will represent Solomon in the retrial, but that hasn't been settled.

Maryland Labor Secretary Welcomes Ana Mendez University System to Maryland
Bilingual higher education center opens in Wheaton
WHEATON, MD (November 16, 2011) Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez participated this afternoon in the official opening of the Ana G. Mendez University System Capital Area Campus. Founded in 1949, the Ana G. Mendez University System is a fully accredited institution serving some 42,000 students in Puerto Rico and three branch campuses in Florida. They offer degrees in various disciplines, ranging from Associates degrees to Masters and Ph.D. programs. Classes will begin in mid-January 2012.
I am proud to welcome the Ana G. Mendez University System to Maryland, said Sanchez. During challenging economic times, we must provide better access to higher education for a larger community of Marylanders. Ana G. Mendez will play a unique role to help equip Marylands Spanish-speaking population with the skills necessary to compete in the New Economy.
Sanchez coordinated efforts to establish the Capital Area Campus and worked closely with other state agencies to ensure that Ana G. Mendezs curriculum met the needs of the states high demand industries. The new campus fills a void for those who may have some level of university education from their home countries, but are not able to take full advantage of opportunities here due to lack of a U.S.-accredited degree or sufficient English language proficiency. The new campus will also boost Wheatons redevelopment efforts, providing a new focal point for higher education in the region.
The addition of the Capital Area Campus will help the state make progress toward Governor OMalleys Strategic Education Policy Goal. That goal sets three specific ambitious goals that will improve the states commitment to adult education:
During the ribbon cutting ceremony on the grounds of the Westfield at Wheaton Plaza, Sanchez presented a proclamation on behalf of Governor Martin OMalley. Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett and Councilmember Nancy Navarro also attended the ribbon cutting.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

I had absolutely no idea what I was doing the first time I set out to buy athletic gear. I went to a local sports shop, and about $150 later, I had two pairs of high-end running shorts and a pair of shoes that didn't even fit me.
Whether you're a lifelong athlete or just need some gear for the upcoming Cooper River Bridge Run, finding workout clothes on a budget can be tough.
You'll want to avoid cheap exercise gear that can cause problems such as chaffing and joint pain, but you also don't want to spend a fortune on something to sweat in.
Here are some ways to find quality athletic gear that won't empty the wallet:
When it comes to athletic shoes, it's pretty hard to skimp. It's best to stick to well-known brands that have dedicated years of research to perfecting shoes for specific types of activity. You'll pay more upfront, but trust me, your joints are worth it.
My advice is to visit a specialty athletic store, where they can assess your foot movements and make recommendations on what type of shoe you'll need. But instead of immediately buying the pair that fits, take a few days and do some research. You may be able to find an older model of the shoe you like online, which wouldn't cost you as much. I'd say aim for the $45-$75 range on a good pair of supportive shoes.
Exercise clothes are easier to find on the cheap, but be wary of poorly placed seams or fabrics that aren't breathable. For shirts, look for mesh blends instead of cotton, which tend to weigh you down as you sweat.
The Asics Core Women's Short Sleeve is a good example, and you can find it at runoutlet.com for $15, about $10 cheaper than its retail price.
I have a few pairs of the Nike Tempo Track running shorts, which cost about $35 per pair, but I just discovered the Champion running shorts, a knock-off version from Target that fit almost as well and cost about half the price of the Nike shorts. Find them at Target.com.
For items such as sports bras and socks, I like to check TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Ross first. The selection can vary, but I've found brands such as New Balance and Asics in discount bins for a fraction of their typical cost.
Keep in mind that there are still end-of-season sales to take advantage of, so even if you can't wear sale items until it's cold again, it's a good idea to stock up while the quality winter gear is selling for cheap.

Buffalo had one of the highest violent crime rates in the country last year, according to new FBI statistics.
Buffalo had the 11th highest rate among the nation's big cities, with 1,288 violent crimes per 100,000 people, an analysis of the 2012 crime figures shows.
In comparison, Detroit had the highest crime rate of over 100 cities with more than 200,000 people, followed by Oakland; St. Louis; Memphis; Stockton, Calif.; Birmingham, Ala.; Baltimore; Cleveland; Atlanta; and Milwaukee.
Rochester had the 25th highest violent crime rate.
"Everybody has crime issues," said Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda. "I can't really comment on rankings or surveys, but I can tell you Buffalo is a safer place than it was in 2005."
The commissioner said he watches Buffalo's crime statistics closely and has seen crime, overall, fall by 20 percent in the city since 2005. Violent crime in Buffalo, he added, has decreased 14 percent during that same period.
"I think we're doing very well," Derenda said. "I think Buffalo is a safer place and a lot has to do with the initiatives that are in place."
Derenda, for example, mentioned the recent gun buyback program, more police involvement with neighborhood block clubs and a joint agency strike force started last year to target crime in neighborhood hot spots.
One of the biggest factors has been Buffalo's partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office, which is aggressively prosecuting gang members, who are responsible for multiple shootings across the city, Derenda said.
"I look at where we were yesterday and where we are today and we continue to get better," Derenda added.
The FBI earlier this month released its Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, which showed the nation's violent crime went up in 2012 by 1.2 percent from the previous year.
In raw numbers, Buffalo had 3,380 violent crimes: 48 murders, 138 forcible rapes, 1,388 robberies and 1,806 aggravated assaults. The city also logged 13,454 property crimes: 3,976 burglaries; 8,371 larcenies and thefts; and 1,107 motor vehicle thefts, the statistics show.
The FBI statistics also include crime for communities of more than 100,000 people.
Amherst, not surprisingly, had one of the lowest violent crime rates in the nation last year, with 75 violent crimes per 100,000 people. In 2012, Amherst had seven forcible rapes, 28 robberies, 53 aggravated assaults and no murders, the statistics show.

WARREN - Tom Horton said he took a leap of faith when he quit his landscaping job to attend Eastern Gateway Community College's shale natural gas training.
"I've been hearing about it, so I wanted to see what it's all about and what it might be able to offer me," Horton, 34, of Warren, said. "It wasn't easy making this move but I believe it's going to be worth it. I hope so."
Horton, who is married with one child and another on the way, is one of 12 students participating in the course to explore opportunities in the well drilling industry.
The three-week training program provides students with an intensive look at positions in the industry and the steps they need to take to pursue those jobs, instructor Michael Lorms said.
The tuition-free course is paid for through a $4.96 million ShaleNET community-based job training grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. Several community colleges from Pennsylvania and West Virginia also are participating.
"We already know there are a lot of opportunities in the industry," Lorms said. "This course gives people a better look at what options exist for them.
Fact Box
Drilling of one well requires 400 people working in nearly 150 occupations. About 47 percent of a well's work force consists of jobs that do not require a four-year degree - 20 percent general labor, 17 percent heavy equipment operators and 10 percent commercial driver's license on- and off-road truck drivers.
Source: www.shaleNET.org
"These guys start early and leave late," he said. "I can't say that they will all be ready for a job when they're done. They need to be practical. But I think some of them definitely will be.
''We try to give them as much information and training as we can in these three weeks. It's intensive and it's a lot of information. But it's good preparation."
Lorms said much of the classroom focus has been on safety, building on skills students already have and adding new ones, and job readiness. This past week, students received CPR training and made a field trip to the Trumbull County Auditor's Office to look at mapping procedures.
"We go over resumes and updating them and the online application process," he said. "This is an introduction to the oil and gas industry but we really look at everything, all elements that we can look at to help these students with their job seeking efforts."
Applicants are required to undergo criminal background checks, physicals and drug screenings.
Earlier this year, Eastern Gateway, in partnership with the City of Warren, conducted two free sessions designed to provide information about job opportunities in the shale natural gas industry, and the training required to land those jobs. Although some 500 people attended those sessions, a dozen are in the college's initial training course in Warren.
"It's disappointing," Eastern Gateway president Laura Meeks said. "But we are hoping that by getting the word out, through word-of-mouth, more people will see the opportunity that's available to them."
Eastern Gateway is offering the training course tuition-free to eligible participants through the college's partnership with ShaleNET, a federal grant to train workers for targeted jobs in the shale gas industry. The college is offering pre-employment training sessions as well as training courses to prepare individuals to work in these jobs.
Eastern Gateway officials have reported an 86 percent placement rate in the program and an 85 percent retention rate.
"Anybody who doesn't grab this opportunity while the door is open is shooting themselves in the foot," Dave Hawk of Salem, a laid-off welder, said.
"This doesn't just give you an idea about one job but shows you the opportunities that are in the field. You get the chance to learn about the field, to see what's out there, what's available, where the jobs are, and this course is free. Why wouldn't you do it?'' Hawk said.

Join custom clothier and award-winning sewing instructor Angela Wolf as she builds on her Tailoring Ready-to-Wear class with new, more advanced techniques. Learn to alter pants: make flattering adjustments to the behind and taper legs for a look you love. Learn to let out and extend waistbands and discover fixes for uneven hips. Master dress alterations for a petite waist and demystify hemming from the waist. Diagnose and fix a zipper that's bowing in the back, replace a zipper in the front fly and adjust a hidden zipper in a side seam. Plus, hem cuffs for both women's and men's shirts with confidence. Learn the tailoring skills you need to perfect the fit of your entire wardrobe.
Meet your instructor, Angela Wolf, and learn more about the alterations covered in your class.
Get your pants into shape with Angela's expert alteration tips. You'll learn to analyze the fit, pin up and mark your changes and rip out seams and restitch, both along side seams and at the rear.
Whether your waistband is crooked because of uneven hips, too loose or too tight, Angela's got you covered. Men's trousers are surprisingly easy to take in or let out, while women's pants are trickier. But you can do it!
A dress with a waist seam gives you a lot of alterations options to get the hem just the right length and the bodice fitting well. Angela shows you how to make those alterations and reset any zippers for a perfect silhouette.
Don't let a broken zipper get you down! Angela helps you tackle the most common zipper fixes, whether it's a front fly zipper in your favorite shorts, pants or skirt, or an invisible zipper in a garment you're altering.
Ready-to-wear shirts often have sleeves that are much too long. Shorten them at the cuff with Angela's step-by-step guidance. She'll show you how to move or shorten the placket and add more pleats if you need them. Her techniques are suitable for both men's and women's shirts.
Praise for Angela Wolf's first tailoring class, Tailoring Ready-to-Wear :
"I am only halfway through the classes and I have already learned so many useful tips to make alterations quicker and easier. I especially liked the jeans hemming techniques and the lengthening pants with bias binding. I am going to apply this technique to the school uniforms I lengthen to get the most wear out of them. Angela is a great teacher and explains what she is doing really clearly."

State Assembly Ag Committee votes 6-0 in support of better parity with FMMO values.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
May Day was a good day for California dairy producers and an unusually crowded one for members of the State Assembly's Ag Committee.
At a May 1 public meeting to gather input and hear public comments on Assembly Bill 31, which would more closely align the value of whey in the state's Class 4b (cheese) pricing formula with Class III (cheese) whey values in Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs), the meeting room was jammed with an estimated 100 dairy farm supporters of the measure. Another 100 or so had to wait outside.
After brief formal presentations were given to the six-member panel from invited parties representing both sides of the issue, approximately 50 other people took turns at the microphone to voice their support. Afterward, committee members voted 6-0 in favor of the measure. Although it is a purely symbolic endorsement that has no legal power, it does keep the bill moving forward to be considered by the full Assembly.
AB 31 is supported by a wide coalition of both dairy and nondairy groups, including the state's three largest dairy cooperatives, two producer advocacy groups, and two statewide feed associations. Its aim is to put more money into milk producers' pockets by increasing the value of whey that is used in computing their milk prices.
As seen in the accompanying table, since 2008 California's cheese price whey value has never been higher than 75 cents per hundredweight. For the last two years, however, the value of whey in FMMOs has never been below $1.50.
"Since 2009 alone, the accumulated difference between the two is $1 billion that California dairy producers have not seen in their milk checks," said Western United Dairymen CEO Michael Marsh. "Instead, it is $1 billion of extra profit that has gone to the state's cheesemakers."
The author has served large Western dairy readers for the past 36 years and manages Hoard's WEST, a publication written specifically for Western herds. He is a graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, majored in journalism and is known as a Western dairying specialist.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
New technologies and strategies for genetic testing and genomic analysis were the focus of several presentations at the recent American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) meeting in Philadelphia. Understanding the molecular basis of disease, discerning inheritance patterns of genetic disorders, and clarifying the implications of predisposing genetic factors are core goals of genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
As researchers and clinicians continue to unravel the mysteries of the human genome, they are looking to technology companies to provide next-generation sequencing and genome analysis tools to accelerate whole-genome and targeted DNA sequencing, SNP genotyping, and copy-number variation (CNV) analysis.
Aravinda Chakravarti, Ph.D., ASHG president and professor at the McKusik-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, defined the challenges that must be overcome before the inevitable future of personalized medicine can become reality. "This reality cannot become routine or useful unless we can predict the phenotype of each of our unique genomes within which the vast majority of variation is rare and unique.
"First, we need to understand the origin of variation. To gain an unbiased functional understanding we need to quantify the human mutation rate directly and how it is modulated. Second, progress in prediction will require not merely accumulating empirical facts but theoretical prediction of the functional content of any piece of DNA and the consequences of altering that sequence."
To achieve this, the field needs to be able to assess many more genomes, to integrate structural variation with mutation/SNP data, and to evaluate variation in noncoding regions of the genome. The hope is that next-generation sequencing technology will allow for sequencing of more genomes with greater coverage and for targeted resequencing to enable detection of rare disease-associated alleles such as small insertions, deletions, or inversions.
In a session entitled, "Using DNA Sequence to Detect Variation Related to Human Disease: The Promises and Challenges of Medical Sequencing," Richard Wilson, Ph.D., professor at Washington University School of Medicine, explored new technologies for medical sequencing and mutation discovery in cancer. He described the disadvantages of traditional technologies: for example, array-based experiments only identify variation in exonic regions, and PCR-based resequencing is expensive.
Dr. Wilson's group has used Illumina's next-generation sequencing platform to perform whole genome sequence analysis and to look for disease-linked variability in acute myeloid leukemia. The researchers identified eight validated somatic mutations, all of which were heterozygous, and two somatic insertions/deletions. The group is pursuing similar studies in glioblastoma.
Stacey Gabriel, Ph.D., director of the Genetic Analysis Platform at the Broad Institute, gave conference attendees an overview of the ongoing 1000 Genomes Project and described how GWAS are being used as an unbiased discovery tool for identifying rare mutations that may have value as novel drug targets. Dr. Gabriel's group developed a scalable process for exome sequencing that uses hybrid selection and capture of hybridized regions on beads to pull out the exonic regions of the genome.
The 1000 Genomes Project will catalog all SNPs and CNVs with an allelic frequency >1% and make them available in a public database. The Project comprises three pilot programs: 4x genomic coverage of 180 people; 20x coverage of three case/parent trios; and 1,000 genes studied in 1,000 different people. One of the main challenges at present is how to integrate the disparate data derived from multiple different technology platforms and the development of hybrid platforms that can perform SNP and CNV genotyping on the same sample.
Richard Gibbs, from Baylor College of Medicine, focused on directed sequencing approaches for exploring disease genomics and described his group's work using Roche's NimbleGen's "rebalanced" arrays to capture targeted regions of the genome and Roche 454's next-generation sequencing technology. The combination has allowed for greater than 94% coverage of the genome at 10x, according to Dr. Gibbs. He outlined the advantages of using high-density arrays of the exome instead of GWAS for medical sequencing studies: there is less data to manage; the experimental design has greater flexibility; the process is more readily scalable; it is easier to map variants; and the cost is substantially lower.
Richard Lifton from Yale University, commented on the dramatic decrease in the cost of DNA sequencing over the past decade: from $100 per 1,000 high-quality bases in 1998 to less than $0.01 at present, using Illumina's next-generation sequencing platform as an example.

Hey Ladies! Just wondering if anyone has already taken materniy leave? I know I haven't! I own my own flower shop and I am constantly there! But things have gotten way harder! I am unable to lift alot and stand for a really long time. Even though I am constantly at the flower shop and if you don't see me walking around you can sure hear me. I am always apologizing for it. I just think my staff can probably not wait til I have my baby. It also drives me insane that I can't do everything that I used to be able to do. Anyone else experiencing this? And when are you guys planning on going on maternity leave? Or if you already have gone how is it?

On Thursday I opened up my blog to all of you so that you could ask me questions. Here are the answers to all the questions asked!
Morgan: What do you put in your hair? So random but it always looks so good when you post pictures of yourself! To be honest… I don't really put a whole lot in my hair. I wash it with Suave Professionals. If I'm wearing it curly I spray it with Garnier Wonder Waves and let it mostly air dry, drying it with a diffuser at the last second. If I wear it straight I'll blow it out and then run a straightening iron over it. Either way I finish off with Garnier Sleek and Shine hairspray and I'm done!
Erika: Since you're a bookworm like me…what book release are you most looking forward to in 2012 and why? I actually don't pay attention to book releases. If a blog friends remind me I'll most likely request the book from the library but almost always I don't realize a new book has come out until awhile after its release. Weird right?
The Non-Student: How do you keep up with so many blogs (and comment on them)? Are you Superwoman or something? Haha, if only! I usually set aside time each morning (or afternoon, depending on my work schedule) to blog. First I'll go through any new posts in my reader. Then I'll open up my comments from the previous day and respond to those posts. So if you comment on my blog, I will comment back. Usually it takes about an hour but it's worth it, I figure if someone if going to take time out of their life to read my blog then I owe them that courtesy back.
Dancing Branflake: What is your degree in and what job do you hope to have at graduation? My degree is in sales and marketing and to be honest… I still don't know what I want to do. I ideally, I'd love to do something with internet marketing and social media (anyone have a job for me??). However, right now I'd just like a job with good benefits (dental insurance please!!) and maybe weekends off! A girl can dream, right?
Happy Jen @ Anxious for Happiness: Where's your favorite place to buy your outfits? Lately I've been buying a ton of stuff at Old Navy. Bizarre right? But their clothes have gotten so cute and I love the way they fit me. Plus, they're affordable and my ON credit card gets me points and discounts. Can't go wrong!
gringationcancun: How do you feel about The Hunger Games movie this year? Excited? Bored? I'm super excited for this movie to come out, I'm actually considering going to the midnight showing (despite my horrid experience with screaming teeny-boppers at Twilight). The trailers look SO good, how can I not be excited?
Amber: All time favorite book? Once again, Why Girls Are Weird by Pamela Ribon. I have raved about this book and I love it so much I even named my blog after it. It's a book about a blogger who finds herself and it's one of those feel good books that makes me laugh out loud no matter how many times I read it.
Jax: What is your writing inspiration? Do you ever "link up" with other bloggers? As far as blogging inspiration, I just try to be myself. Sometimes I'm in a bad mood so my post is angry or sad. Sometimes I'm elated so you get a happy, bubbly post. I don't lie on my blog and if something bad happens to post about it, figuring that maybe my mistakes can teach someone else. And I'm all about linking up with other bloggers. I don't do it often but I'm pretty open to nearly everything blog related.
Charlotte: If you could live in any part of the world, where would it be? And I
always love asking about dream vacation destinations. Maybe because I'm
longing for a break from the city. So those are my two questions for you. I keep saying I want to live somewhere warm because I am so over these Wisconsin winters. Back when I was with Dustin we talked about Florida or North Carolina. I think since my parents live in FL and they drive me nuts, I'd probably choose NC. As for a dream vacation, I've always wanted to go to Italy. The food alone… yum!
Bonnie: Threesome. You and me. Plus one other person. Who is the other person? Leave it to Bonnie to ask an inappropriate question! My answer? Adam Levine (lead singer for Maroon 5, for all of you crazy people that don't know who he is). He is delicious. Hope you don't mine Bonnie!
Kathy and Mrs. Pancakes: What inspired you to start blogging? When did you start blogging? I started blogging way back in 2002 and at the time it was just an easier way to keep a diary. I've kept diaries for a really long time and I'm so much quicker typing so I figured a "blog" (which it wasn't called back then) was a great way to do it.
When I started this blog it was originally for me to write about my wedding to Dustin, who is now my ex. You can actually go way back and read all those posts. Obviously things have changed A LOT since then but that's how I got my start!
Thanks to all of you that asked questions! As always, if you have a question for me, don't hesitate to ask! Happy Monday all!

Kenny Curtzwiler has edged his way into a slim eight-vote lead for second place in the El Dorado County District 5 Supervisor race as a handful of ballots remain to be counted.
Curtzwiler, of Meyers, now leads third place Angela Swanson, of South Lake Tahoe, by eight votes, and fourth place Kevin Brown, of Pollock Pines, by 12 votes.
The shift in the three-way race for second was announced Thursday evening as county elections officials continue to work through one final batch of provisional ballots cast in the June 3 primary.
Brown previously was in second place with a 12-vote lead over Swanson and a 14-vote lead over Curtzwiler.
Sue Novasel, of Meyers, maintains a strong, nearly 600-vote lead for first place. The two candidates with the most votes advance to the November general election.
About a dozen more provisional ballots remain to be reviewed and potentially counted in the District 5 Supervisor race and the goal is to have that done and final election results certified by Wednesday, June 18, said Linda Webster, assistant registrar of voters.
Once final results are certified, candidates have a limited time to request a recount if they want one, but must pay for its cost.
Incumbent District 5 Supervisor Norma Santiago is not eligible to run for reelection.
Voter turnout for the District 5 Supervisor primary stands at nearly 34 percent, with 5,458 of 17,702 registered voters casting a ballot. That's about 6 percent lower than the voter turnout in countywide races.

The trajectory of a pedestrian illegally crossing a large thoroughfare against incoming traffic.
When you cross a street with lots of incoming traffic, you will walk parallel to the flow of traffic and in a direction opposite to it. Then, when you see an opening, you will turn and dash through the other side anticipating (hopefully) the incoming vehichles. Seen from above, your trajectory takes the shape of the letter J, hence the expression "Jay walking."
