Our support staff operates an ongoing art class for our residents. It gives our residents to hang out with staff, explore their creative side, and interact with each other.
The class is part emotional outlet and part self-esteem building.
We have found at The Lighthouse that sometimes, it's difficult for people to express themselves verbally. To help overcome that, our art classes are an outlet for people. When people are feeling down about themselves, it can help them start rebuilding some of their self confidence.
After our residents are done with their art, they have the option of keeping it, giving it away or hanging it in one of our galleries.
If you are interested in helping out, dropping in, and donating to this program, contact DeeAnn Mercier at 306.653.0538 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

RoughRiders want to welcome you to 'The Show'
In-game entertainment is just part of the atmosphere at the rejuvenated Stable
CEDAR RAPIDS – Welcome to the show.
It's a band called Saliva that sings a song with a chorus of those words. Yes, there really is a band called Saliva.
The lights go out at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, the spotlight shines on dancing cheerleaders at one end of the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena and "Ladies And Gentlemen" is blasted over a state-of-the-art sound system. Prior game action is spliced together with the official video for the song and shown on one of four large screens, two on each end of the ice.
Fans ring cowbells in beat with "Ladies And Gentlemen," a weird combination of heavy metal and cowboy. You watch other hockey/music combined videos before the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders finally hit the ice to a semi-truck horn and the cry of "HERE COME YOUR CEDAR RAPPPPPIIIIIDDDDDSSSSS RoughRiders!!" from public-address announcer Evan Hrabak.
There's a reason opening faceoff for every game always is a good 15 minutes after the listed starting time of 7:05 p.m. The RoughRiders want you in your seat so you don't miss all this.
Welcome to the show.
"That's exactly right," said RoughRiders CEO Jeff Jauch. "That was one of our first videos we came out with, and it's really what describes a night with us. It's a show, not only when the hockey isn't going on, but when the kids are playing. It's a show, it's entertainment, it's got to be something different than what was here before."
This is different, no question about that. It's the fourth season Jauch and Tony Sdao have owned the RoughRiders, and they have drastically changed the atmosphere at what is affectionately known as "The Stable."
RoughRiders head coach/general manager Mark Carlson also has a stake in the franchise, though it's believed to be nominal. He obviously takes care of everything on-ice related.
"We recognized that early on we could do the same thing (as prior owners) if we wanted, but we realized we needed to do something different," Jauch said. "That was the idea, that's why we made such a big capital investment into the arena. It has worked out well."
The RoughRiders painted the entire arena green and black (the team's colors), with mug-shot photos and short biographies of every past player along most of the concourse walls. Life-size photos of current players take up most of the rest of the concourse wall space.
Ownership ponied up for video screens and improved sound, adding plasma televisions to each suite at the arena. The original idea was to create a sports-bar feel, though that has changed a tad.
"What we're hearing now is that it's kind of like going to a movie theatre and a hockey game at the same time," Jauch said. "It evolves. Eventually you find out what works and what doesn't work, and it evolves into what it needs to be."
The RoughRiders hired Metro Studios of Cedar Rapids for all of its video production needs, to run the team's website and Facebook page and to help with marketing and advertising. You might notice Metro's huge TV trailer in front of the Ice Arena.
That's the epicenter of the entire game-night experience. Metro Studios owner Al Schmidt and his daughter, Amber, run "The Show" from there.
"We have five cameras total," Amber Schmidt said. "Two are operated by cameramen, one is robotic and controlled inside the trailer, one is in the sin bin (penalty box) and the other is located directly above one of the goals. We also have Adam Kokontis, who does all the audio. He has never missed a game."
The Schmidts produce a 17-page script that maps out exactly what will be going on (off the ice) and when. There are things such as promos, graphics, replays, air-guitar contests, the Panchero's "Burrito Toss" and the Chicken Dance.
There's always the Chicken Dance. Players even wish folks happy birthday via pre-recorded video.
In short, there is always something going on off the ice when there's nothing on it.
Jaymz Larson is your game "host," if you will, sharing the microphone with Hrabak. Metro also is responsible for making sure each home game is available live on the team and league's website, via a company called FastHockey.
"We get a lot of good compliments on what we do," Al Schmidt said. "Other USHL teams have come in to look at our trailer and at what we do every night."
"We talked to Metro, talked to Daktronics, a bunch of video suppliers," Jauch said. "What we realized early on was that you can have all this great equipment, but if you don't have content, that doesn't mean a damn thing. Their proposal was the most attractive to us, both from a cost standpoint and putting on a show. Plus they do it for the Kernels (baseball club), so this was just a natural fit."
Jauch said his club has found it is attracting more families to games, which was somewhat of a surprise. Friday nights are big family nights, he said, while Saturdays are "date night," with more 20 and 30-somethings.
That might mean a few tweaks eventually to scripts, though there is one thing for sure. "The Show" will go on.
"It's a fun atmosphere," Jauch said. "Kids love it, it's obvious kids love it. That's what we've kind of moved into."
"Welcome to the show is a perfect way to describe RoughRiders' hockey games," Amber Schmidt said. "We not only have fantastic hockey to watch, we also have four video screens to show fans different camera angles, replays and (other) entertainment throughout the whole game. Fans are shown on the big screens, and there's music to dance to. We have pregame shows that are a little different each night, with videos and lighting effects. It's pretty cool."

Coastal ranches and dairies are hoping that a week of rainy weather will precipitate a change in fortunes following a dry, cold and windy beginning to the year that has left their pastures parched. West Marin saw its driest January and February in recorded history this year, local watershed managers said, just one year after another drought required the county to be declared a crop disaster area.
"It's one of the worst springs I've ever seen," said Sam Dolcini, whose family owns a ranch in West Marin. "It has been critically dry since the first of the year."
Though rain late last year filled the reservoirs, meaning that water collected for drinking and irrigation will not be affected, cattle ranches need rain early in the year for grass to grow during the spring pasture season. The weather is particularly important to the market
for milk, West Marin's heritage industry and largest agricultural product, because national organic marketing standards require that beef cattle and dairy cows graze for at least 120 days and consume a diet of at least 30 percent dry matter intake from grazed pasture.
At least 16 of Marin's 25 dairies are organic operations, and the county's $31.3 million in milk sales account for 45 percent of the county's agricultural output.
Yet only 2.07 inches of rain were recorded at Lake Lagunitas in January and February, beating a prior low of 3.43 inches in 1920, the lowest since records were started in 1879, according to Libby Pischel, spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District.
Higher-than-normal rain has been forecast for this week, which ranchers said could salvage the year, but the agriculture community is on high alert after last year's extended drought.
Marin was declared a primary crop disaster site by the Department of Agriculture in 2012 after the county saw only a third of the normal amount of rainfall from October 2011 to February 2012. Marin county also received a "variance" that allowed organic producers to ignore the "access to pasture" rule.
The lack of rain, along with cold temperatures and high winds, is inhospitable to pasture growth. But the weather is just one of a number of factors—including the cost of fuel and feed—that adds to the cost of ranching.
"We've already been having to raise prices (on consumers)," said Albert Straus of Straus Family Creamery, whose ranch is in Marshall. "So far they've been understanding."
But Mr. Dolcini said there is limit to how understanding they will be. In the case of beef prices, he said customers will balk if they have to pay much more than the already elevated cost of beef. "Once a consumer walks away then it becomes a challenge to get them back."
If this week's rainstorm is just a break in the dry pattern, ranchers will have to reduce the number of cows on their ranch and sell them sooner, when they weigh less, at lower cost.
Government assistance, usually in the form of low-interest Department of Agriculture loans, could help ranchers and consumers by smoothing out sharp price increases.
But agriculture experts say it is too early to say whether there will be a drought that requires such assistance.
"This year we're looking closely at it," Stefan Parnay, Marin County deputy agricultural commissioner, said of federal assistance. "There's certainly some serious concerns about the abnormally low rainfall."

Joginder Tuteja, Glamsham Editorial
If you are being acknowledged on all prominent festivals by Kajal Agarwal (of SINGHAM fame) or getting regular cricket updates on Twitter, don't start feeling over the moon already because here is a spoiler. The account is not driven by the real Kajal and the actress seems to be blissfully unaware about its existence even though it has been around for months now. Worse, it has a huge following and boasts of regular updates on an almost daily basis due to which the fans and followers have been truly led to believe that they have been interacting with the real Kajal.
"This account is run with a handle @KajalAgarwal and has as many as 60,000 followers already. Quite a few prominent celebrities too have been taken for a ride believing that this person is the real Kajal. Surprisingly, Kajal had no clue that such an account existed. Now that she has been informed about it, she is planning to take a strict action," informs a friend of the actress.
This is second such instance within last one week when a celebrity masquerading has happened on the micro blogging world. A few days back it was Chitrangada Singh who cried foul when someone opened a fake account on her name and started lambasting Poonam Pandey. By the time Chitrangada realised the mischief, the damage was done.
"Thankfully the person who is supposed to be Kajal hasn't gone into any maligning spree. Also, she/he has just changed the profile picture very recently to ensure that there is no trouble ahead," says a follower of the fake account.
However instead of waiting for a bigger damage, Kajal has decided to reach out to the appropriate authorities to stop any wrong word from spreading. Also, as things stand today, she doesn't have any immediate plans to create an account of her own.

Florida students still write well
By now it should come as no surprise that the state's fourth-, eighth- and tenth-graders perform quite well on Florida's oldest section of the FCAT, the writing part. The latest figures, released this morning, show that two-thirds of fourth graders and sophomores, and three-fourths of the eighth graders, are earning a score of 4 or better on a six-point scale. (The passing score is 3.5, raised from 3.0 after just about everyone in the state was attaining that level.) Those rates are about the same as last year for fourth-graders and sophomores, but 8 percentage points better for the eighth graders. It remains an open question of whether these students can write anything other than the narrative, expository and persuasive styles their teachers teach them for the test. But at least they have the basics down. To review the 58-page report of state and district averages, click here. Education commissioner Jeanine Blomberg has scheduled a conference call with reporters to talk about the results later this morning. We'll give you an update if she says anything interesting.
UPDATE: To read the DOE press release on the scores, click here. To read the prompts that the students had to write about, click here.

Lana Del Rey, Oliver Tank @ Palace Theatre, Melbourne (24/07/2012)
About six months ago, Lana Del Rey was one of the biggest names going around, with singles all over the radio and more hype than a playground on red cordial. It was back in those months the New York singer was supposed to pay us a visit, but the cynical among us might assume she was made a healthier offer to tour later on, as those shows were abruptly cancelled. So those looking forward to an intimate Toff performance could kiss that idea goodbye. The wait was over this week, though, with Splendour bringing Lana to town for two upsized and sold out Palace performances; Melbourne's first taste for Miss Del Rey.
With an array of foliage covering the stage and surrounds, Sydney's Oliver Tank kicked off proceedings amongst the greenery. Equipped with a guitar and an array of fidgety gizmos, tank had a difficult task gaining the attention from a rather distracted room before him. His music, whilst charming, did seem to fade into the background; a result of how subtle he was keeping things. Odd inclusions and semi-covers – everything from Manchester Orchestra's I Can Feel A Hot One to Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot – did turn heads here and there throughout the set, and added intrigue to Tank's humble demeanour. Between his live guitar, drum machine and auto tune vocals, the man covered a lot of ground and mystical soundscapes, all adding up to an intriguing set, albeit one that was lost on the room.
As if it hadn't taken long enough for Lana Del Rey to show her face to Melbourne fans already, the packed Palace was kept waiting for over an hour post Tank's support slot. By the time the string quartet took their seats, the room was growing agitated, but with Lana herself appearing minutes later the frustration turned to elation, with screaming and what has to be a record for the number of cameras held up simultaneously at the venue.
Gracing the stage in a vintage red dress, Del Rey began with an obvious crowd pleaser in Blue Jeans; the songstress' single gaining a great load of appreciation from those on the venue's floor – even more so when she decided to pay the barrier an up close visit (a trick then repeated again and again). Her string quartet accompanied a piano and guitar combination positioned behind the plantations, and together the band certainly had their act together. There seemed to be components missing though (percussion for one), and by the time a few tracks had been played out the set had failed to really launch.
Born To Die isn't exactly the most uplifting album by any means, but Del Rey seemed intent on soundtracking a funeral on the Palace stage. Smiles between songs aside, Lana performed like a true sorry soul, with eyes closed (check the gallery) and misery seeping. This worked in the favour of appropriately titled Summertime Sadness, creating a more genuinely glum feeling overall, but the singer came up short on her albums namesake; Born To Die losing a lot of its flavour in its stripped back version and Del Rey's opening whispers proving cringe-worthy.
For the set's majority, the crowd remained adequately engaged, a fact aided by the leading lady's constant venturing down off stage to allow those in the front row some closer adoration. The cabaret styling of Million Dollar Man and the crowd's voice on Video Games added highlights later in the set, whilst a toned down Radio was lost without its driving percussion (although made amusing by Del Rey's decision to throw in some dance moves).
Disappointing to those who'd hung out for hours in anticipation, Del Rey was saying goodnight after only 50 minutes. This indeed felt like insult to injury after everyone was made to wait for longer than the set itself following support. As with many of the tracks before it, National Anthem finished the night off with more of Del Rey's simplistic delivery, losing the momentum the track has in its recorded form. Clutching an American flag and letting everyone know she "loves them so much" in hyper-emotion; it was easy to cringe once again as Del Rey departed the stage.
To take the set at face value, away from the hype and expectations, the jazz inspired renditions and performance were worthwhile, Del Rey's vocals were in fine form, and her band were of exceptional quality. Unfortunately though, when it comes to Lana Del Rey it was difficult to leave expectations at the door, and while on some counts she met them, on many – especially some of her biggest numbers – she disappointingly fell short of the mark.

A DRAW was probably a fair result at the end of our game against Devon although I have to say that they had the lion's share of the cricket.
I don't think we had an awful lot of luck and that really affected the way we played.
Mike Coles' injury really did help because he's a big part of our team and it meant that he couldn't bat in the second innings.
He was just beginning to get himself in to a bit of a form after hitting a few boundaries before he had to retire and I think we would have been able to get a lot closer to their first innings score had he not had to stop batting.
One of the positives for us was that we did manage to expose their batting line-up a bit, which I was always confident that we'd be able to do, but one disappointment is that first innings score and the fact that we didn't bat the 90 overs.
We didn't really manage to put any partnerships together and we only picked up the one bonus point, whereas in the other games we've played, we've picked up the majority of them.
But fair play to the guys because I asked us to dig deep and find that extra 10 per cent in our second innings and they all did that and more.
The only real significant partnership that we had was between Uzi (Qureshi) and Jayden Levitt but to get 240 for the loss of only four wickets is fantastic.
The gap at the top has been reduced by two points and it's now 12 but it was important that we didn't lose the game and a draw is a good result for us.
It keeps us at the top of the Western Division, which is where we want to be, and we know what we have to do in the two games that we have left.
Cheshire are going to come to South Wilts in a couple of weeks looking to beat us. They're right in the strike zone behind Devon after last weekend's results and they're always a strong side.
We've also got Shropshire, who have quite a lot of new players this year and are a young side so hopefully we'll be able to take advantage of that.
There's no point trying to figure out how many points we'd need at this stage because there are so many permutations, but we know we can't lose those two games.

Once you have completed these steps you will be added to the database that contains the details of all the tradesmen that have completed the necessary competence that is required for working in the construction industry. It is mandatory to have a CSCS card if you have chosen a career in the construction industry.
About the test
Basically, the test is to assess the skill and knowledge of the worker in the construction industry, along with testing the individuals on different safety standards. Knowledge of these safety standards is essential to ensure the safety of the employees as well as any other people who may be present on construction sites.
The Different Types of CSCS Cards
There are many different types of cards you can apply for and it all depends on the occupation you will be applying for and the qualifications you have in the construction industry, there are around 13 different types of cards you can apply for, do not fear though you will be given guidance on which card is right for you when you go through the application.
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme is designed to improve competency among workers and at the same time, equip them with basic health and safety knowledge in order to carry out a safe working environment. Once the worker passed the relevant Health, Safety and Environment Test, a corresponding colour-coded card will be issued depending on the skills and occupation.
The different Card Types are the following:
- Yellow, Site Visitor – This card is for those who frequently visit the site but have no construction skills.
- Green, Construction Site Operative (Labourer) – This is for those who have basic site skills and achieved N/SVQ Level 1 or employer's recommendation.
- White/Yellow, Professionally Qualified Person – This card for those who are members of CSCS-approved professional bodies.
- White/Grey, Construction-Related Occupation – This card is for workers who perform construction-related occupations but are not covered by any of the card categories available.
- Gold, Advanced Craft / Supervisory – This is for workers who achieved a Level 3 S/NVQ or have completed an indentured apprenticeship or employer-approved apprenticeship with City and Guilds of London Institute Advanced Craft Certificate.
- Blue, Skilled Worker – If you achieved a Level 2 S/NVQ or has completed an employer-sponsored apprenticeship with City and Guilds of London Institute Advanced Craft Certificate, then you can apply for this type of card.
- Black, Manager – This is for managerial employees who have Level 4 or 5 S/NVQ or Level 6 or 7 QCF in the relevant occupation.
- Red, Trainee (Craft and Operative) – This card is for trainees who are registered but has not yet completed S/NVQ.
- Red, Experienced Worker – This card is available for those with at least one year's on-the-job experience.
Except for the Red Cards, all cards are valid for three (3) years and are renewable.

What Other Cards Can I get?
JIB Card
If you are in the plumbing industry then you should get a JIB Card, including the Blue JIB Card. We have even created a JIB mock test for you to take.
CCDO Card
Demolition operatives should have a CCDO Card, these cards prove and ensure others of their safety in the workplace. There are a few different types of cards from Demolition Manager down to Green Labourer.
CISRS Card
To uphold the highest of safety standards with scaffolders and other workers working at height then the CISRS Card is designed for you. These include cards such as Green, Red, Blue, Gold and White, with different variations depending on your individual's role.
A few different colours of card, these include Green, red, black, blue and gold. The SKILL cards are issued for those that are within the engineering services, maintaining a level of high-quality safety standards.
Mock and Practice Tests
Before sitting your test it is very important that you study for it, only applicants that pass the test will be granted their card. It is also very good practice to take as many mock exams as you can, we have a load to help you practice, so take as many CSCS Mock Test questions as you can.
To help you there is a wide range material to help you study in many languages as well to benefit anyone who works in construction in the UK. Once you have yourself registered to take the test you study material will be delivered straight to your door. Once you feel ready to take you test you can choose one of the many test centres around the UK to sit your test. Wherever you are in the UK you will not be too far away from a centre as they are dotted all across the country.
What are the behavioural case study questions?
From April 2012 the CITB health, safety and environment test have added another way for you to be tested on how you would react and behave on a construction site. There are 12 case study questions that will test how you react to a certain situation, some basic common sense in most cases.
How much does the card cost?
The cost of the card is only £30 which is inclusive of vat, while you will find that some companies out there will stand the cost of the training for their staff it is generally your responsibility to pay for their own card cost. Please bear in mind that this does not include the cost for the Health, Safety and Environment Test, that's a separate £17.50.
What Should I Do If I Some How lose my Card?
You are in luck if you lose your card you can apply for a duplicate card to be sent out to you, only if your original card was still valid and in date. These will be sent out to you without having to take any extra tests.
Why is a CSCS card so important to me?
If you do not hold a card then it will be almost impossible for you or anyone to be able to work within the construction industry in the United Kingdom. Pretty much every company in the construction industry will need you to have a CSCS card before they would even think about letting you have the job, this acts a proof that you know the information/health and safety guidelines that will keep you and others safe on the construction site.
Who needs to have a CSCS card?
Everyone that is thinking or currently working in the construction industry should hold a valid cscs card. This doesn't just mean the operatives, this also includes the managers and the supervisors. Depending on the card you hold with depend on the privileges you have, just for an example, a site operative will not have the same access to machinery that a supervisor would have. Pretty much all work sites in the UK will need all of their subcontractors to have a valid card or that cards equivalent, no matter what work they are carrying out. Even if you are just a regular visitor to a construction site who does not even have any construction skills or and training should at the least have a yellow card before they are able to enter the work site.
How Long is a Card Valid For?
Depending on which card you have will dictate how long your card will be valid for, lengths of validity range from six months all the way up to 5 years. Check the details of each card when you apply and be sure to check out the information we provide.
How Long Will It Take To Receive The Card?
When you have passed your exam, and all the documentation and paperwork has been received you should receive your card by post within 30 working days.
Choosing the right CSCS study material and books
There are many ways you can study for your exam, there are a few revision books you can buy on the market, Amazon is a good place to start, some people do prefer a more interactive way of studying, such as you training CD's which have the same exams we have listed on your site but some people will just fancy using the old fashioned book to read as and when they can and get a chance to. They will both will have the same amount of useful content in them to help you pass so it is all up to personal choice.
How to pass the test
To pass the test is a quite simple and easy task to achieve, we find that most of the people that sit their CSCS test pass first time after using our mock exams to help them practice. All that is needed to pass your exam is a simple two-step process, the first part is to help over to our CSCS revision material and read up on the topics you will face in the test. The second part is to take some of our practice mock tests, these test will give you a feel of how the exams work and the type of questions you will face. All it will take to get your card are those 2 steps.
You can use our revision material we have laid out on this site, for example, the different fire extinguisher types to help you study and to get a better feel for the exam questions use our mock exams which have the most common types of questions you will face.
Taking the Test in different languages
At the time of writing this page (2015), the main default language for the CSCS exam is English.
Those of you who would like to take the operatives test will have a choice of using voice-overs in these following languages: Bulgarian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Polish, Punjabi, Russian, Romanian, German, Czech, Lithuanian. If you need the test in another language than the ones we have listed you should request an interpreter when booking.
Those of you who would like to take the specialist test, unfortunately at the moment there is no pre-recorded voice-overs available. You will have to ask for an interpreter when booking your test if you need one.
Those of you who would like to take managers and professionals test, there will be no voice overs and no interpreter as these tests require you to have a basic command of the English language.

Deloitte Australia has bought Canberra's Analytics Group - a company that turns over $6 million a year in revenue - to cope with an increasing demand from the public service.
Two partners and 19 staff from Analytics, who have been based in Marcus Clarke Street in Civic, will move into the Deloitte offices in Barton and at Brindabella Park.
The Deloitte purchase is the company's second major buy in three years in the territory. It bought economic consultancy Access Economics in March 2011. The latest purchase brings Deloitte's Canberra business to 163 staff and 24 partners.
The bureaucracy has been increasing its demand for high-level strategic advice, aimed at the senior executive levels. Former Analytics partner turned Deloitte partner Brett Streatfeild said the demand in this area had been huge.
"The past six months have been hectic," he said.
At the same time, the federal public service is attempting to reduce its demand for lower-level consultants such as information and communications technology contractors.
Deloitte's Canberra office managing partner Lynne Pezzullo said the company would seek to assist the public sector during the upheaval.
"Across federal and state governments, we are now seeing a strong drive to improve efficiencies through performance improvements and cost efficiencies," she said.
"This team hire is part of the growth of our Canberra strategy and business transformation capability, and will further boost the 10 partners we have added to our Canberra practice over the past year."
About 80 per cent of Deloitte's Canberra staff deal with the public sector.
The company provides advice on financial management, planning, budgeting, forecasting, procurement, contract management and technology implementation.

The Americans, House of Cards big finalists in TCA Awards: Help me choose who wins
Did Bryan Cranston's take on a drug dealing ex-high school science teacher-turned meth dealer crush Vera Farmiga's portrayal of legendary psycho Norman Bates' damaged mother? Was Netflix's House of Cards the most impactful TV show of the season or AMC's The Walking Dead?
And what the heck is Orphan Black, anyway?
These questions and more may come to mind as you peruse the list of nominees for the TV Critics Association's TCA Awards; the annual honors bestowed by the 200 or so writers who claim membership in the organization, including yours truly.
Regular readers of this space know I already asked you guys to help me choose the initial nominees, and I'm convinced that my own votes for The Americans, Amy Poehler, Big Bang Theory and Barbara walters -- inspired by feedback from some of you -- made the difference (reality TV was the only category where my votes, for A&E's Hoarders and HBO's Hard Knocks, landed without effect).
FX is crowing about receiving the most nominations for the first time, mostly thanks to all the love we have for The Americans. House of Cards, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Saturday Night Live, Barbara Walters and Jay Leno even got key nominations. In fact, this might be the first time in a while that Leno's rival David Letterman, who won the TCA's Career Achievement Awards last year, hasn't been nominated in the same space as the Tonight Show host.
I've got until July 17 to deliver my final choices; I can only pick one selection per category. And I want your feedback.

Under The Knife
Ephedra Takes a Holiday
As a political animal, I usually find myself on the side of the libertarians. As such, the debate surrounding the ban of ephedra had me on both sides of the argument quickly. While my stated position that ephedra and other performance enhancing drugs--effective or ineffective, legal or illegal--has no place in baseball or any sport, I also know that the market should be free to the utmost extent and that ban or not, players will likely use a substance anyway. Watching "Fear Factor" tonight, I saw not one, but two ads for products--Stacker 2 and Hydroxycut--that are suddenly promoting themselves as "ephedra-free." This brings up two points: that the market will move from one product to another as quickly as possible when there are widely perceived negatives that could impact sales, and that as fast as we ban one product, another similar product will pop up in its place. As satisfying as it might be for MLB to drop a ban on ephedra at all levels and as good a PR move as it might be, in the end, it probably won't solve anything. Education, in my opinion, remains our best hope.

better than Biolage shine milkExcellent product and excellent price! If I use a regular conditioner in the shower, I have to soap up and wash my face and body afterwards to prevent breakouts. With this product, I can skip conditioners in the shower, spray this onto damp hair all over, and it conditions and detangles my hair just as well.

Pantene's detangler was what I was using and a separate shine serum but I've found with blow drying, this is the best styling tool for getting rid of some frizz, detangling, smoothing, and sets my hair with a natural sheen of shine. I like extra shine so I still pat my hair with a bit of serum or a fine mist of shine spray and it looks lovely after I've fixed my hair. The scent doesn't smell of anything particular but it is mild and pleasing. The best part of this spray is that it isn't sticky at all. It makes hair manageable without any extra issues to deal with afterwards. And price?

OROVILLE -- An Oroville man in his 80s was taken to Enloe Medical Center in Chico with back injures after being hit by a pickup while he was walking across Myers Street in a crosswalk in downtown Oroville Thursday afternoon.
Around 3:30 p.m., James Kelly was crossing Myers Street in a crosswalk on the south side of Robinson Street when he was hit by a woman driving a Ford 150 pickup, according to Oroville police traffic officer Gary Vrooman.
Francis Lee, 62, of Oroville was driving the Ford 150 pickup west on Robinson, and she stopped at the stop sign at Myers Street.
Vrooman said witnesses said Lee came to a complete stop at the stop sign.
Kelly had stepped off the sidewalk on the west side of Myers Street, into the crosswalk and was starting to walk across the street.
Lee told police she did not see the man as she turned to the left onto Myers Street heading south and crashed into Kelly.
At first, police called for a medical helicopter to fly the man to Enloe from the Oroville Hospital heliport.
However, with an estimated arrival time of about 30 minutes, air flight was canceled and the man was driven to the hospital in an ambulance.
No citations were issued.

The Shelbyville City Council might make some changes to its much-maligned sidewalk ordinance.
The council will hear at its meeting Thursday the first reading of an amendment to the ordinance that could change the process and allow residents a chance to challenge the city's decision on who is responsible for repairing their sidewalks.
Halfway through the school year, most students in Shelby County are performing at grade level in reading and math.
That's what school officials reported to the Shelby County Board of Education at Thursday's meeting, based on the winter segment of the Measured Academic Progress tests students take three times each year.
Pounding rain, high winds, thunder and lightning – and even a nearby tornado – brought a taste of August to the last morning of February as severe weather roared across Shelby County during early morning hours.
Shelby County Road Supervisor Carl Henry said winds gusted to 100 miles per hour and struck northern Shelby County hard, as a tornado touched down just a thousand feet north of the county line in Henry County, where two houses were destroyed.
Pounding rain, high winds, thunder and lightning – and even a nearby tornado – brought a taste of August to the last morning of February as severe weather roared across Shelby County during early morning hours.
More rain and the possibility of severe weather is expected to continue into the afternoon, when weather will turn much cooler.
With the May primary just around the corner, Shelby County Judge Executive Rob Rothenburger says he is excited and optimistic about his chances of becoming Kentucky's next Commission of Agriculture.
"The campaign is going very well, and I'm traveling around the state every night, meeting a lot of great people, and getting a very warm reception everywhere I go," he said.
The Shelbyville Bridal Show, a 15-year fixture in the spring, will be sitting out its annual trip down the aisle this season.
Show coordinator Charlene Nation of Shelbyville Merchants Association for Retail Trade, said that lack of interest from vendors had forced her to call off this year's event, which had been scheduled for Sunday at Settle Gym.
Just hearing the word "diabetes" conjures up distressing images of every kind of ailment associated with the disease, from blindness to limb amputation.
But a meeting Thursday at the Stratton Center in Shelbyville to announce a $2.5 million grant to launch a tri-county coalition as part of a national program to combat diabetes generated both a large crowd as well as a ray of hope for the future.
An enthusiastic crowd of more than 100 turned out Tuesday night at Highland Baptist Church to hear the Transportation Cabinet's future plans for widening Mount Eden Road.
Residents were asked for their opinions on a variety of issues about how to make KY 53 more accessible to vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and create a more dramatic and efficient gateway into Shelbyville from Interstate 64 to U.S. 60.
League repeats as champ of county Spelling Bee
For the second consecutive year, Jessica League was declared the winner of the Shelby County District Spelling Bee – this year as an eighth-grader at Collins High School and last year as a student at Cornerstone Christian Academy.
She will now compete in the Kentucky Derby Festival Bee March 19 at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.
TAYLORSVILLE – Number four may have been for more, but it had the same result as the first three meetings between the Collins and Shelby County boys' basketball teams.

L-O-V-E Leighton Meester's Princess Di Tiara On The 'Gossip Girl' Set [PHOTOS]
While on location in Manhattan today (February 6th), Leighton Meester got into character with dramatic pink gown and a tiara resembling the Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara, designed for Queen Mary in 1913.
The tiara was given to Diana, Princess of Wales as a wedding present from Queen Elizabeth, but was returned to Her Majesty following Diana's divorce from Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.
Meester and Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley filmed scenes for an upcoming episode, which sees our star-crossed lovers locking lips.
I really like Dan and Blair together.

Michigan freshman point guard Trey Burke announced Monday he'd return to U-M for his sophomore year after flirting with the NBA. On Tuesday, he won the team's Bill Buntin Most Valuable Player Award.
Burke received a standing ovation at the Michigan basketball banquet when he accepted his award, thanking his teammates and coaches.
In his first season at Michigan, Burke averaged 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists. He was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year by the media, All-Big Ten second team from coaches and media and a unanimous selection to the conference all-freshman team. He earned U-M's first All-America recognition since 1998 with honorable mention honors from the Associated Press.
Burke's team-leading 156 assists earned him the GARY GRANT AWARD FOR MOST ASSISTS and broke U-M's 27-year-old record for assists by a freshman in a single season, previously held by Grant (140, 1984-85).
Seniors Zack Novak and Stu Douglass, meanwhile, combined to win 10 awards after impressing those in attendance with impressive senior speeches. Novak was honored with six awards, including the STEVE GROTE HUSTLE AWARD, the BODNAR AWARD FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, the AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING FREE THROW SHOOTING, the IRON MAN AWARD and the CHARGE AWARD.
Novak averaged a career-best 9.2 points with 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, thanking the assistants for his improvement between his junior and senior seasons. He shot a career-best 47.6 percent from the field and 85.7 percent from the free throw line.
In addition to a number of other honors, he became the first Wolverine since 1984 to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors with his third-team selection. He set U-M's record for all-time minutes played (4,357) and ranks fourth for three-point field goals made (213) and fifth for three-point field goals attempted (591).
Douglass won four awards, winning the RUDY TOMJANOVICH MOST IMPROVED AWARD, the WAYMAN BRITT OUTSTANDING DEFENSIVE PLAYER AWARD and the TRAVIS CONLAN SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD. He played in all 34 games during his final season, becoming the U-M record holder for career games played at 136 in playing every game in his career. He averaged a career-best 7.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.3 rebounds as a senior.
Novak and Douglass also shared the THAD GARNER LEADERSHIP AWARD. Redshirt sophomore Jordan Morgan earned the LOY VAUGHT REBOUNDING AWARD after leading U-M with 5.6 rebounds per game. Morgan's total of 191 rebounds was his highest single-season total.
Junior Matt Vogrich honored with U-M's SIXTH MAN AWARD. Vogrich averaged 10.7 minutes per contest, playing in all 34 games off the bench, and averaged 2.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.

There are few cities more famous than Las Vegas. The City of Sin has its place firmly etched in pop culture lexicon and has led people to fly in across the country just to spend a weekend in its never-resting glow. While most people associate the resort city with lavish casinos, there is much more to the desert location and there is plenty to do besides gambling.
Once you've had your fill of all the glitz and glamor, Las Vegas offers plenty of ways to unwind including the beautiful Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens as well as the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, which provides a unique look at what Vegas was before it became the mover and shaker you visit today. The summers are extremely hot in this desert oasis, but the rest of the year (November to March) is generally mild.
Las Vegas gained their first major league sport in 2016, the Vegas Golden Knights are the newest team in the NHL. They will begin playing games at the T-Mobile arena in 2017. Las Vegas is also home to the minor league baseball team, the Las Vegas 51s, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels' football and basketball teams. Vegas also hosts numerous Boxing and MMA matches for those who are looking to catch an exciting fight in person.
Of course, it just wouldn't be a trip to Vegas without taking in a show or two. The city has some of the most luxurious venues in the world, which have hosted a veritable who's who of stars. The MGM Grand Garden Arena has hosted a large number of huge concerts from Jimmy Buffett to Billy Joel to Cher. Another concert attraction for Las Vegas is The Axis at Planet Hollywood which is currently hosting top artists Britney Spears, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Lopez, who are alternating year-round.
A trip to Vegas wouldn't be complete without going down the famous Las Vegas Strip. Lined with opulent buildings, this iconic stretch of road has plenty to offer in terms of entertainment and perfect weather to walk the strip. Caesars Palace offers a permanent show from Canadian crooner Celine Dion, which features about 70 yearly performances from the singer at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The famous venue also has shows from Elton John, Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart.
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is the home of the top performers and shows.

Work is about ready to start on expanding a key section of the 101 Freeway near the Ventura-Santa Barbara County line which often gets jammed during key commute times. The just over three year long project calls for adding carpool lanes in each direction to the freeway from just south of La Conchita, to near Casitas Pass Road, in Carpinteria. And, KCLU's Lance Orozco reports that what was budgeted as a $150 million dollar project may even come in one third under the original budget, because of the competitive market for construction work.

AMSTERDAM (May. 15)
The Netherlands Ashkenazi Congregation is considering measures to revitalize its membership against a background of growing indifference and declining numbers. A report published at the annual meeting of the congregation's central commission Sunday indicated that while the nominal membership of 13,000, more than half of Holland's total Jewish population of 22,000 seems impressive, very few members are prepared to be personally active on behalf of the congregation and most show little interest in its activities.
A breakdown of the membership showed that 80 percent live in or near the three largest cities. There are 8700 Ashkenazic Jews in the Amsterdam area, 1150 in The Hague and 670 in Ratterdam. In Bussum, some 25 kilometers east of Amsterdam, the Ashkenazic community numbers 240. Seven other towns have between 100-200 and 14 congregations have between 40-90 members. Another 18 congregations have fewer than 35 members each.
The membership is dropping gradually but the congregation and its Executive have increasing tasks, owing in part to expanded international contacts. It was decided at the commission meeting to appoint an assistant secretary to aid Josep Sanders who was appointed secretary six years ago.
Prior to his appointment, the secretary of the Ashkenazi Congregation was combined with that of the Amsterdam congregation in the person of Benjamin W. de Jongh. That situation lasted for some 25 years after World War 11 until de Jongh settled in Israel. It was decided Sunday to appoint a full-time secretary for the Amsterdam congregation despite a considerable drop in membership.

Why does the federal government perform so badly, asks Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University? It's a step in the right direction for a political "liberal" even to pose that question. But although Bok notes several factors that inhibit the efficiency of Washington, he seldom addresses the most important failure of government: attempting to do more than it should. "The multiple responsibilities of the federal government give it exceptional opportunities to serve the people and fulfill their aspirations," he writes. Alas, he complains, "At the same time, the government also has exceptional capacities to frustrate and disappoint its citizens."
A cynic might ask "so what?" if people are frustrated with government. They shouldn't be putting their faith in it to fulfill their aspirations. Instead, they should expect it to protect their rights, establishing the minimal framework for a free society. That, however, is far from Bok's mind. He assumes government is the creator, not the protector, of rights and should actively manage "society."
Bok admits that the state often manages badly and worries that "persistent disappointment over the government's performance could deepen and solidify the public's loss of trust and confidence in its officials and in their capacity to help people achieve their goals." Of course, that warrants concern only if the business of government is helping people achieve their goals.
Bok thinks it is. Perhaps most shockingly, he argues: "Amid the welter of separate interest groups, religious denominations, advocacy organizations, and associations of all kinds, government is the one authoritative agency that can define, enunciate, and validate a set of common moral standards and obligations for all the people." Distrust in government will naturally "weaken the moral authority of the State." To expect that of government, however, is to ensure failure and disappointment, not because of constitutional structure, interest-group pressure, or citizen apathy, but because of the nature of political institutions, where coercion is applied by human beings responding to perverse political incentives.
There is another, more practical problem, Bok argues. When government promises to do something, and doesn't perform, people are hurt. He explains: "a shoddy performance by public officials today can mean inadequate schooling for children, hunger for needy families, sluggish growth or even a recession for the economy, useless training for workers seeking job skills, substandard health care, polluted air, and a host of other misfortunes."
That is quite true, but the analysis should not start with how can the government better educate children?, but should the government be in the business of educating children? Government failure is not so much a result of its not working as intended, but of its working exactly as intended. Why would one expect a centralized educational monopoly run by political officials accountable primarily to vested professional elites to be the best method of helping children learn?
Bok's basic thesis, "the trouble with government," makes the most sense when it comes to the essential, core roles of government. How does one efficiently and effectively defend the nation? How does one prevent and prosecute crime? Etc. Here, Bok's analysis is generally thoughtful, sometimes provocative. He criticizes politicians and the media, but doesn't strongly indict either group, writing that "the charges against them are not linked convincingly to the failures of the federal government to achieve the goals most Americans affirm."
So Bok goes on to review the specifics of governing, asking why legislation is so badly designed and regulations so inefficient. Much of his analysis is correct, but he undermines it by assuming that government must be responsible and we must keep looking for better ways to legislate and regulate. For instance, he contends that government should be "protecting all Americans against the major hazards of life" and that poor people don't have enough political power to demand that government create the right programs.
Bok dismisses many of the usual panaceas, such as direct democracy, citizen panels, and campaign-finance reform, but offers none himself. Some of his ideas would undoubtedly make Americans worse off, especially expanding the political power of unions.
He closes by calling for civic involvement, but simply convincing more people who want to use government to live at everyone else's expense to vote is no answer to anything. Indeed, that reflects the fundamental flaw in Bok's book. Making government more efficient and responsive would be an important goal if government were limited, doing only what it needs do. But when government is the most imperialistic of institutions, determined to take over not only the functions of most other social institutions, but decision-making by individuals as well, efficiency and responsiveness are not major concerns. Returning government to its proper role is.

Who is a Mathematician?
This is not an easy question to answer. The tasks assigned to mathematicians are usually as diverse as the companies that employ them. Mathematicians are frequently assigned to serve as mathematical consultants within teams of other specialists (engineers, accountants, sociologist, to name a few) and they are often part of a scientific team. A mathematician's exposure to diverse areas of mathematics (calculus and non-calculus based analysis, numerical analysis, statistics, operations research), he or she may perform the function of researching and guiding a project group to and through a certain method of analysis. Clearly the increased use of computers has greatly influenced the role of a mathematician. He or she may perform the function of preparing a problem to obtain a solution on computing devices. In many instances this may mean programming on the computer. In other cases the mathematician may never actually see the computer.
Numerous industry and government agencies have recruited our graduates. Representatives from such agencies have been regularly invited to NSU to discuss applications of mathematics and to advise our majors of career opportunities. Mathematics graduates from Nicholls are currently employed by such firms as Bell Laboratories, Texaco, Bell South, Entergy, McDermott, Whitney National Bank, NASA, U.S. Dept. of Labor, Louisiana State University, Blue Cross, the University of Arkansas, and others. Other graduates have elected to pursue advanced degrees in mathematics and science.
The Challenge of a Career?
In today's world there is an ongoing effort to quantify many aspects of our society. There is always a need for mathematicians to numerically formulate and solve new problems. There is demand for good applied mathematicians in all areas of our technological world: business, engineering, government, science, and others. People at the helm of mathematics are vital to our progress as a society. Careers for such people are diverse and abundant. A mathematician may be employed in the areas of:

Occupy handouts
This is the logical end to the week of the protests that weren't. No fight. Just food. The boxed lunches — sandwiches, fruit and ice cold bottled water — came after police heard protesters were getting low on provisions, the Tampa Bay Times' Marissa Lang and Kim Wilmath are reporting. The protesters had planned to occupy companies owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital empire all day but were tired and hot and ended up at Domino's Pizza instead. A young woman who identified herself only as Ducky wasn't happy. An older, bearded man sitting nearby took exception, mustering at least enough energy to stand up and yell at her. "You might not need rest, but some of us do," he said.

Hi everyone. I don't think I posted about the other awards Apple has received, so hopefully this is okay. But as a Mac user since the beginning of 2014, and as an Echo/Cricket user back in the mid to late-80's I can and will certainly testify to the great accessibility which the company has implemented and continues to do so. It's nice that they are now collaborating with Microsoft more, who are also true accessibility champions in my books. Check this out.

I. Migration
1. Over the past months, the European Council has developed a strategy aimed at stemming the unprecedented migratory flows Europe is facing. However, implementation is insufficient and has to be speeded up. For the integrity of Schengen to be safeguarded it is indispensable to regain control over the external borders. Deficiencies, notably as regards hotspots, relocation and returns, must be rapidly addressed. The EU institutions and the Member States must urgently:
a) address the shortcomings at the Schengen external borders, notably by ensuring systematic security checks with relevant databases, and prevent document fraud;
b) address deficiencies in the functioning of hotspots, including by establishing the necessary reception capacity to achieve their objectives; rapidly agree a precise calendar for further hotspots to become operational; ensure that Frontex and EASO have the necessary expertise and equipment;
c) ensure systematic and complete identification, registration and fingerprinting, and take measures to tackle refusal of registration and stem irregular secondary flows;
d) implement relocation decisions as well as consider including among the beneficiaries of existing decisions other Member States under high pressure who have requested this;
e) take concrete measures to ensure the actual return and readmission of people not authorised to stay and provide support to Member States as regards return operations;
f) enhance measures for fighting smuggling and trafficking of human beings;
g) ensure implementation and operational follow up to:
• the High Level Conference on the Eastern Mediterranean - Western Balkans route; in this context, it is important to help non EU Member States along the Western Balkans route to accomplish registration according to EU standards;
• the Valletta Summit, particularly as regards returns and readmission, and
• the EU-Turkey Statement of 29 November 2015 and the EU-Turkey Action Plan; in this context COREPER is asked to rapidly conclude its work on how to mobilise the 3 billion euro for the Turkey Refugee Facility;
h) continue implementing the agreed resettlement scheme;
i) continue to closely monitor flows along migration routes so as to be able to rapidly react to developments.
2. The Council should continue work on the crisis relocation mechanism taking into account experience gained, and rapidly decide on its position on the list of safe countries of origin. The Council is invited to rapidly examine the situation concerning Afghanistan. The Council should rapidly examine the Commission proposals of 15 December on a "European Border and Coast Guard", the Schengen Borders Code, "A voluntary humanitarian admission scheme", and travel documents for returns. The Council should adopt its position on the "European Border and Coast Guard" under the Netherlands Presidency. The Commission will rapidly present the review of the Dublin system; in the meantime, existing rules must be implemented. It will also soon present a revised proposal on Smart Borders.
3. The Presidency, the Commission and the High Representative will report back on progress before the February meeting of the European Council.
