An emergency meeting was held by the Wednesday evening to select Susan Genco, Ed.D, as the district's new chief school administrator and principal of the . This past January, the district for this position and Dr. Genco was selected this week in a unanimous vote of 7-0.
"I couldn't be more excited because during the interview process I learned that Cranbury shares my beliefs in education, and I am looking forward to learning more about the community," Dr. Genco said. She continued, "It's clear that their (the Cranbury Board of Education's) commitment to children is important, and this was the deciding factor for me in choosing to take the position. I look forward to working with the staff, getting to know them and developing a relationship with them."
According to Cranbury School Business Administrator and Board of Education Secretary Joyce Picariello, the district wanted to finalize the contract and receive county approval on Dr. Genco's post, which occurred earlier on Wednesday, at 2 p.m. Dr. Genco has given her notice at her current school, the Emma Havens Young Elementary School in Brick Township. "We are hoping that she can begin in Cranbury as close to July first as possible. That was why there was such urgency in finalizing this process," Picariello said.
Dr. Genco, who will earn a salary of $130,000, will run the day-to-day business of the Cranbury School as principal while also helping the district meet its goals as chief school administrator, Picariello said.
Back in January, the board interviewed three search agencies before deciding to hire Leadership Advantage to conduct the current CSA search, according to Jennifer Cooke, the chair of the Board of Education's Personnel Committee. Picariello said there were approximately 15 candidates who applied for the CSA position.
"Dr. Genco possesses all of the leadership qualities that one needs to succeed in the dual role of Chief School Administrator and Principal and exhibits a true love for children," Board President Lynne Schwarz said in a letter that went out to parents and guardians throughout the district.
"The Board believes that Dr. Genco will be a good fit to Cranbury School and will add something special to our community. We look forward to working together with Dr. Genco on our path to excellence, and hope you will join us in offering a warm Cranbury welcome when she assumes the role of CSA/Principal in July."
Dr. Genco has worked in education for 14 years and has served as supervisor of curriculum for the Spring Lake Heights Elementary School, which was recognized in 2003 through the Governor's School of Excellence.
As chief school administrator, Dr. Genco will oversee approximately 700 children in the K-8 Cranbury school district.
In addition to her work in education, Dr. Genco serves on the executive board for the organization Change a Life Uganda. The organization is a not-for-profit group that provides education for children in Uganda through school-based programs and reaches out to families to help them become self-sufficient through income-generating projects and access to quality healthcare.
Dr. Genco is originally from Brick Township and received her undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She completed her doctorate in educational leadership at Rowan University.
According to Dr. Genco, her viewpoint on education is all about opportunity. "My philosophy is that students should be afforded the chance to discover their unique strengths and talents," she said.
"Teachers should possess a strong educational background and be willing to take educational risks in the classrooms to benefit students. The students should always be the first ones considered when making decisions."

When Evil Dug Its Own Grave
When you're in the middle of intense suffering, it's easy to lose your bearings.
Questions arise reflexively: Is God really in control? How can a good God allow so much pain? Is God good?
The pain that we feel can make it hard to even think straight. We need anchors that keep us tethered to the truth so we do not drift when we encounter suffering.

David Elfin offers a few highlights from Friday night's Enshrinees Dinner in Canton, Ohio, where the inductees were presented with their Hall of Fame blazers:
Before the national anthem, someone shouted "You rock, Art Monk!"
Darrell Green backpedaled across half the stage as he went up, prompting emcee Chris Mortensen of ESPN to joke that Green should follow Brett Favre's lead and come out of retirement. Green, who played 20 years in the NFL, had made a similar joke earlier in the day at a news conference.
William J. Healy II, the mayor of Canton, spoke briefly, noting what a D.C.-dominated crowd was on hand.
Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs received a tremendous roar from those gathered.
Charley Taylor, another Redskins Hall of Famer, grabbed Monk and Green in a double bear hug instead of going down the receiving line when he was introduced.
Green was enthusiastic, pointing to the crowd during his remarks. Monk received a loud ovation when he made a point of singling out an entire section of Redskins supporters.

The Tribune-Star
Ouabache Elementary students call him "Officer Bob," and several greeted him with high-fives and hugs Monday morning.
Bob Hines is no stranger to Ouabache.
His wife is a fifth-grade teacher there, and he knows many of the students, parents and staff.
Hines recently retired from the Terre Haute City Police department after 27 years to take on a new role, as Ouabache Elementary's new school protection officer. He'll be there every day, all day, ensuring the safety and security of children and staff.
He's armed, in THPD uniform and his squad car sits in front of the building. He sits at a desk at the school's front entrance, and all visitors will check in with him.
Hines wasn't alone. As of Monday, the new security initiative to have an armed police officer in every Vigo County school, both city and county, became fully implemented.
The officers are employees of the school district, although they report directly to the sheriff, city police chief or designee, said Superintendent Dan Tanoos.
They also take direction from the school principal, Tanoos and Ray Azar, director of student services.
The protection officers include off-duty and retired law enforcement officers.
Officers will work a variety of hours and may work in one or multiple buildings.
"It'll be a positive thing for the schools and the community, and hopefully it will be a deterrent," said Lt. Hugh Crawford, of the THPD special services division, who is overseeing the protection officers for city schools.
Hines said he was planning to retire within a few years, and the new position at Ouabache offered the right opportunity. "I know a lot of the staff, and I'm here an awful lot," he said. "I know all the kids. It's a good fit."
His role is to keep the school safe, and periodically he'll walk through the building for security checks and to make sure doors are locked.
He's been trained in school district policies, but "a lot of this is just our training from the police department — our experience of being police officers and knowing what to look for," Hines said.
Protection officers also will be able to help respond to parental issues, such as conflicts related to custody disputes, said Superintendent Dan Tanoos.
School principal Susan Cobb and her staff are glad to have Hines on board. Since Hines' total focus is school security, that frees them up to focus on their jobs — teaching children.
"It's nice to have that stress off our shoulders," Cobb said. In the aftermath of shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary, school safety has been a primary concern.
However, Cobb was a little upset Monday morning because Officer Bob "stole all my hugs," she said.
Hines job is school security. Ouabache will continue to rely on THPD resource officer Larry Manley for educational programs, such as Halloween safety, or to counsel a child who may get into trouble.
Meanwhile, at Otter Creek Middle School, Chris Mundy also began his new role as a school protection officer, in this case as a special deputy under Sheriff Greg Ewing. (Otter Creek is outside Terre Haute city limits).
Mundy's retiring after 28 years with the Terre Haute Police Department to take on the new role. Similar to Hines, he'll be at Otter Creek all day, every day.
His own children attended Otter Creek, and he's previously coached basketball there. He currently coaches softball at Terre Haute North Vigo, so he knows many of the Otter Creek kids.
"I love kids," Mundy said, and he believes the protection officer program is needed.
On Monday morning, he noticed a man sitting in a car that had been parked in front of school for a while. Mundy went to make sure everything was okay. It turned out the man's wife was waiting to speak to a teacher.
"It's all about safety," Mundy said.
Principal Tammy Rowshandel said Mundy already knows many students and staff at the school and his presence makes everyone feel more secure.
Tanoos agrees that "everyone is a little bit more at ease knowing the protection officers are here."
On Sunday, Tanoos said he and his wife cried as they watched interviews with Sandy Hook parents in a "60 Minutes" segment. On Dec. 14, 20 children and six adult staff were fatally shot at the Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
"It was as gut-wrenching a show as I've seen," Tanoos said. "It made me realize what we've got here is really the right thing to do."
While the hope is that nothing similar ever happens here, if someone does intend to cause harm at one of the local schools, the protection officer "can stop it from happening or hold the person at bay long enough" until more police arrive, Tanoos said.
Last month, the Vigo County Council voted 7-0 and approved $135,000 to pay for safety/security officers to be assigned to 10 county schools. That is half the cost, with the school district providing the other half.
Also, the city agreed to fund officers in 12 city schools that do not already have a police officer assigned. The $353,000 cost of those officers is being split between the city and school district.

Dancing with the Stars 2012 took another hip-shake toward crowning a brand new champion on May 21, as night one of the finals aired on ABC. One of the hourlong episode's highlights was classical singer Katherine Jenkins' energetic freestyle routine, which one judge deemed "the dance of a champion."
During rehearsals, Mark Ballas had high praise for his partner, calling her DWTS season 14's "most versatile" dancer. He hoped to showcase her broad and impressive ballroom range by incorporating a variety of styles into their no-holds-barred dance. For her part, Katherine promised to "do whatever it takes to get a perfect score" and "leave it all out on the floor."
When showtime rolled around, that's exactly what Katherine did. She opened her fast and furious freestyle in unique and memorable fashion by crooning the opening bars of their musical selection, the Andrews Sisters' "Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing)," before joining Mark on the floor. She showed off her skills admirably, and blended her footwork chops and elegance with great performance elements and even better facial expressions.
The judges were duly impressed. Bruno Tonioli called it "fast and flamboyant," and said he'd never seen "so much content so fast and so well-executed." Carrie Ann Inaba affirmed that Katherine could do "anything" and called the routine "the dance of a champion." Len Goodman closed out the commentary with "if I'm asleep and dreaming, don't wake me up. This is a freestyle."
Katherine and Mark earned a perfect score of 30 for their dance, bringing their night one total score to a doubly perfect 60, and landing them atop the leaderboard. But the lead is a slim one: co-finalists William Levy and Donald Driver trail by just a point each heading into Tuesday's grand finale.
Will Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas waltz away with the Mirrorball Trophy? Watch the Dancing with the Stars 2012 finale May 22 on ABC and find out.

So glad that the uneducated sacks of shit that were running this bar are now unemployed and yes, still living off of their greedy mother. What low lifes. No wonder their club went to shit. Mommy didn't have enough sense to cut them off before they took the whole family "empire" down. Too Bad!
I'm with you bud! The horseshit owners still owe me a ton of money for completely remodeling the bathrooms in that place! I should have known they were going to shaft me just like they did all their employees as well as all the other crews that walked in that door! They had no clue about anything that had to do with that place and cut sooooo many vital corners that could have gotten them in sooooo much trouble with the city as well as physically hurting people with their "unorthodox and cheap ass" way of running a business! I hope they are never allowed to run a business ever again!

ETEC asks Chu to extend B&W Y-12's contract; letter sparks controversy
The East Tennessee Economic Council has sent a letter, dated March 25, to Energy Secretary Steven Chu, recommending a five-year contract extension for B&W Y-12, the government's managing contractor at Y-12 since 2000. Such a move would delay the National Nuclear Securtiy Administration's announced plan to consolidate the Y-12 contract with one at Pantex and, possibly, the tritium work at Savannah River. Here's a link to the letter.
According to ExchangeMonitor Publications, which first reported about the letter today in its Weapons Complex Morning Briefing, the letter and ETEC's push for a contract extension has upset some of ETEC's member companies that are likely to bid on the upcoming consolidated Y-12/Pantex contract. The Washington-based newsletter quoted a URS spokesman as saying the company would reconsider its membership in ETEC.
The letter, which is signed by ETEC President Jim Campbell and ETEC Chair David Bradshaw, said the organization recommends the five-year contract extension because of the current contractor's outstanding performance; successful operation of the Oak Ridge plant; momentum of ongoing "transformative security and technology projects" such as UPF; and "excellent relationships" with the state, Congress and the community.
In a telephone interview today, Bradshaw said the ETEC board did not make the decision lightly. He said the move was not intended to be "contractor specific" but was more about what's best for the community.
Asked if there was any opposition by members of the board on the issue, he said there was no "overt opposition" but he acknowledged that some tough questions were asked during the discussion. B&W Y-12 President Darrel Kohlhorst is on ETEC's board of directors.
Bradshaw said the letter of support was similar to one ETEC did previously regarding UT-Battelle, which last year received a five-year extension of its DOE contract to manage Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Bradshaw said ETEC isn't against competition. He said there are concerns about a major restructuring of the Y-12 management contract at the same time a contract competition is taking place. Such disruption is "not healthy for the community, not healthy for the workers."
Once the government's contract restructuring is fully understood and evaluated, then ETEC would welcome a contract competition, Bradshaw said.
At this point, the community doen't know how the contract change will impact Y-12 and its role in the community or such things as where the contractor's HQ would be, he said. That may not be a big deal to companies bidding on a contract, but it's a "big, big deal" to the community, he said.
Campbell sent a response to the issue by email. Here's an excerpt:
"Today DOE is in the process of changing the M&O contractor for environmental management in Oak Ridge, and proposing some wide-ranging changes in the management and operation of the Y-12 Nuclear Security Complex. Those changes will impact the community in hundreds of ways, and we have been working with officials in DOE and the NNSA to understand what those organizations are trying to do, and make sure the changes are handled without major disruptions in the community. An extension at Y-12 will allow the community to better understand the potential changes being considered by DOE and prepare for those that will present significant challenges to the community prior to (as opposed to during) a major potential competition for the Y-12 work."

Space inspired luxury watches for the most discerning gentlemen
The whole world is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first-ever manned space flight, by Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, this month. Yesterday, we did a roundup of the 10 awesome items space enthusiasts can't afford to miss from the Bonhams' upcoming Space History Sale and today, we have picked the best of space inspired wristwatches that are sure to impress the space enthusiasts and lovers of fine watchmaking alike. Hit the jump to see them all…
1. Romain Jerome Moon Dust-DNA collection Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome has shown the world that their creations need attention, and one of their creations that have earned them a huge reputation is the Moon Dust-DNA watch collection. Using authentic and certified elements, such as moon dust, fragments of the Apollo XI, fibers from an International Space Station spacesuit and Moon Silver, this collection celebrates the Moon itself and the achievements of all those who have conquered space. 2. Gagarin Tourbillon by Bernhard Lederer
The Gagarin Tourbillon by Bernhard Lederer has been designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Russian astronaut's historic flight into space. The ultra limited edition wristwatch is inspired by the Vostok space capsule, which successfully completed its test flight into space on March 25 1961, and will be auctioned off on April 12 itself at Sotheby's in New York. The watch also features a 60-second orbital flying tourbillon that rotates counterclockwise around the dial counter in 108 minutes, to match the time Gagarin took to orbit the earth in the Vostok capsule. 3. Helios by Frédéric Jouvenot
The awe-inspiring Helios watch by Frédéric Jouvenot pays tribute to the cult of the sun in the ancient world. The enigmatic timepiece represents each hour by a radioconcentric sunbeam. The 12 sunbeams are designed on the dial in the sectors of a classic display. For the minutes, they are displayed in a central moon with an index that makes one revolution per hour. The dial of the Helios timepiece follows the passage of the sun. At noon, all rays blaze brilliantly, and the design represents the sun at its peak. The darkness of the face reveals the central area with an opening, which resembles the moon. 4. Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon
Although all the Patek Philippe watches are special, the over $1 million Sky Moon is special for a number of reasons. This double-faced wristwatch is one of the most complex wristwatches ever made. While one face shows the mean solar time and perpetual date, the other side displays a map of the night sky, the angular movement of the moon, the moon phases and sidereal time. The mechanical module for the astronomical indications on the sky-side dial was also awarded a Swiss patent. 5. Patek Philippe's Ref 5106 Celestial wrist watch An amazing piece of luxury, the "Only Watch 2009" Patek Philippe Ref 5106 features astronomical indications on the dial side and a date indicator. The self-winding wristwatch features a sky chart that indicates the night sky for the northern hemisphere, which rotates counterclockwise on its dial showing the angular progression of the stars relative to the meridian passage of Sirius. Simultaneously, the display shows the angular position of the moon, its phases and meridian passage. The watch comes in rose gold, with the bezel in 22k rose gold and the middle part of the watchcase and the caseback in 18k rose gold. 6. Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz 35th anniversary
Last year, Omega released its Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz 35th Anniversary watch, which was meant to celebrate the 1975 launch of the Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft. The dial was created from a meteorite which survived its entry into our planet's atmosphere and the high-speed impact with the terrestrial surface. The black color of the meteorite dial is the result of a surface oxidation process. A limited edition of 1,975 pieces, the watch has on its caseback a motif of the two spacecraft with the names of the astronauts Lieutenant General Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald K "Deke" Slayton and the cosmonauts Lieutenant General Valeri Kubasov and Alexei Leonov. 7. Harry Winston Opus X
The Opus X watch by Jean-Francois Mojon for Harry Winston is inspired by the planetary movements and space-time continuum, capturing the shape and dimensionality of time through the synchronous rotation of circular motions. The watch uses a unique system of rotating indicators mounted on a revolving frame to display time. The whole operation takes inspiration from the celestial mechanics of the solar system. The hand-wound mechanical movement functions as a planetary gear train, consisting of solar wheel, satellite wheels, and frame. The indicators for hours, minutes, seconds and secondary timezone, are set on the individual satellite wheels, which orbit around the central, solar wheel. 8. Louis Moinet Astralis The Louis Moinet Astralis watch features an astral Tourbillon, a split-second column-wheel Chronograph, as well as a 24-hour Planetarium displaying four meteorites boasting unique rarity. The 24-hour planetarium mechanism revolves once a day and successively displays four planets, embodied by fabulous meteorites. Louis Moinet is the first and only watch brand to present an authentic meteorite originating from the planet Mars. 9. Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck An amazing astronomical timepiece, the Moonstruck from Ulysse Nardin simulates the rotation of the moon around the Earth, as well as the apparent movement of Sun around the globe. Thanks to its quick setting mechanism to adjust the time zone, the Moonstruck also displays the gravitational influences of the Moon and the sun. 10. Romain Jerome Moon Invader An offspring of the famous Moon Dust DNA collection, the Romain Jerome Moon Invader watch is inspired by the Apollo 11, and its parts are actually made from pieces from the lunar lander. Pictured above is the RJ Moon Invader Collection Eminence Grise Automatic watch, which has its metal mesh dial made from the tire tread of lunar roving vehicles. The watches use blue SuperLumiNova for a striking night-time effect.

Moonlight and more
Moonlight in Venice.
Supporters of Venetian Heritage, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Venetian art and architecture, gathered in Venice
June 3-6 for its Biennale gala weekend. Those in attendance included the TSH
Prince and Princess Pierre d'Arenberg,
who were Chairmen of the weekend. On the first evening,
Marchese Alberto and Marchesa Barbara Berlingieri
gave a welcoming cocktail party at their Palazzo Treves di Bonfili, overlooking the Grand Canal.
The group's activities included a private visit to the newly restored Fondazione Querini Stampalia, housing a spectacular library, then a tour and lunch in the courtyard of Palazzo Grimani, also recently restored and not yet open to the public.

The next day, after a refreshing stop at Villa "La Malcontenta,"
home of Count and
Countess Antonio Foscari Widmann Rezzonico
and called "the most beautiful house in the world", the group went on to Padua for a concert, a walk through the dazzling Basilica of St. Anthony and especially a view of the Chapel of St. Anthony, recently restored by Venetian Heritage, under the guidance of
Toto Bergamo Rossi,
which revealed the exquisitely carved marble wall panels representing the miracles of the Saint. Every year over six million people visit the Chapel, one of the holiest sites in Christendom.

Other private events scheduled, which kept the group hopping
and also away from the tourist crowds, were a preview visit to the Biennale, a concert under the glowingly lit golden dome of St. Mark's Basilica and a tour of the new Francois Pinault museum, the Dogana della Punta, the former customs house on the tip of the Dorsoduro section of Venice.

On Saturday, stalwarts braved the acqua alta in St. Mark's Square
and visited the Church of San Salvador to see Venetian Heritage's restoration work in progress and to learn about its future restoration of the 14th century silver altarpiece. Then, off to luncheon as guests of
Roberta and Luigino Rossi
in their Grand Canal Palazzo Valmarana, where their collection of Andy Warhol drawings was on view.

The weekend's highlight was the ball at Villa Pisani, in Strà,
just outside of Venice. The villa, called "the Versailles of the Veneto,", was built by the
family in the early 18th century to celebrate the election of
Alvise Pisani
as the 114th Doge of the Venetian Republic.

After drinks on the terrace, a quick stroll through the enfilade of rooms, including the dining room recently restored by Venetian Heritage, dinner was served in the ballroom, under Titian's magnificent ceiling fresco of "The Glory of the Pisani Family". And late into the night, lit by a full moon and colored lights on the Villa's facade, guests danced and danced. In such an atmosphere no one wanted to go home!

Even a quick visit to the bathrooms inside the Fairmont Hotel can be a disarming, potentially infinite journey for a Mission lowlander like myself. It's a pageant of sensory opulence -- the rich carpeting running beneath ornate makeup tables, the plush couches and fresh flowers, the gilt mirrors and marble floors. The stalls alone are worth half an hour, with their floor-to-ceiling blond-wood doors, brass fittings, and art deco lampshades that leave the skin looking airbrushed. Someone could live in there. If she could make it past the hotel lobby, where chandeliers shimmer over Persian carpets and cool, smooth marble columns rise to lavish heights. It's almost too much. Everyone in the lobby is polite and gracious to me, but I know they know I'm out of my element. I want to touch everything, count it, sniff it, run my tongue discreetly over its beveled edges. But I don't. There isn't time.
"Anybody know where the name Nob Hill might have come from?" asks Robert Mac, the creator of Foot! Tours, San Francisco's one-and-only comedian-led, interactive, game show-styled walking tour. Six of us blink at him through the brilliant sunlight outside the Fairmont. "Some people say "nob' is short for "nobility.' Others think it came from the British term describing the shape of the hill." I look around and don't see anything remotely connected to my understanding of the British term "nob." "Most locals don't worry about it," continues Mac. "They just call it Snob Hill." The crowd smiles.
Just a short while earlier, Mac had been standing in front of the hotel, his city tour guide badge twinkling officiously on the lapel of his '40s-style goldenrod suit, when four gregarious characters suddenly exited the Fairmont and surrounded him. For several minutes, fellow comedians David Spark, Lee Levine, Gary Cannon, and Gretchen Rootes regaled me with gummy quotes about Mac's walking tour prowess before continuing down the hill to a wedding reception for another funny man. A coincidence. There are comedians everywhere. Mac, who moved to San Francisco in 1996, earns his keep by doing stand-up, and only recently got the idea to lead tours in the daytime hours. His love of the city's history is conspicuous.
"The Big Four were railroad barons: Collis Huntington, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkins," he explains under the flickering flags that hang outside the Fairmont Hotel to commemorate the signing of the first charter for the United Nations. "They all built beautiful mansions up here."
"What happened on April 17, 1906?" Mac asks the group. When someone ventures a wrong answer, Mac has them draw a "misfortune cookie" from a small Chinese food takeout container.
"Nothing happened on April 17, 1906," says Mac, "but on the following day the great fire of 1906 swept through the city, and none of the mansions survived. Sixty percent of the city was left homeless." He shows us a picture of the devastation. "The flames were so high, it was said people in Oakland could read by their light, which is funny since no one in Oakland can read now."
The group member's misfortune reads: "Go where your talents guide you and take a shovel."
Outside the Flood Mansion, Mac stops us to admire the surrounding brass fence and gate. Elegant lion heads roar beneath a patina of moss green, the evidence of time and weather. "When Flood was alive he paid one man $30,000 a year to keep the fences polished. That would be the equivalent of $600,000 today. Flood was one of the Little Four, who made their money from silver during the rush of 1859."
Grace Cathedral is the third-largest Episcopalian church in the country, which, says Mac, doesn't mean a lot to him but probably means a lot to the fourth-largest Episcopalian church in the country. And who recently got married there? A) Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, B) Courteney Cox and David Arquette, or C) Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry. The answer: Who cares?
On our way downtown, Mac offers more tidbits. "There were six large fires between 1849 and 1851. Most were caused by arson by a gang of Australians called the Sydney Ducks, who discovered that by setting fire to one part of town, they could loot another. California was not a state at that time. There was no official fire department. At one point, it was law for every household to keep six buckets of water on hand." We pass the towering retaining wall of the Stanford Mansion, built so well by Chinese labor that it survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and proved impossible to demolish.
"In 1873, Andrew Hallidie invented the cable car. Not surprisingly, Hallidie was already in the business of making wire cable. ... I've heard that children used to shove wire hangers in between the tracks to hook onto the cable and get pulled up the hill on their roller skates. Haven't seen it myself, but I'd like to."
Two cable cars mount the crest of Powell and California with the Transamerica Pyramid and the bay glistening in the background. Union Square is one of the three busiest shopping districts in the country, Mac tells us. A young tent maker named Levi Strauss came to San Francisco with canvas and saw the need for sturdy pants for the gold miners. In the early days, there were additional copper rivets on the back of the waistband, but they scratched church pews, and the rivet in the crotch heated up uncomfortably when folks crouched near open fires.

Postop 7 weeks facelift, and necklift. Still have swelling near earlobe. My PS wants to wait 6 more weeks, before steroid injections. What is you opinion, should i give it more time to heal? Are there any side effects of steroids?
Steroids Injections to Reduce Swelling After Facelift?
Doctor Answers (19)
Facelift and steroid injections
I would tend to agree with your plastic surgeon's reccommendation to wait 6 more weeks. The scars are immature and the swelling in that area sometimes takes 3 months to resolve on its own. Massage may help. One thing about facelifts: they look better and better with time as the swelling goes down. The trouble is that we want to look better yesterday!
Steroid Injections if and only if adequate time has passed
Your surgeon has given you very sound advice. Steroid injections can be useful in areas of excess incisional inflammation, but should only be used when acute and subacute inflammation have subsided. The form of steroid used (usually kenalog) works via a catabolic mechanism, breaking down tissue. This catabolic nmechanism is non-selective and can affect normal tissue also. Allow a tincture of time to pass and don't watch the water boil!
Steroid injections for facelift swelling.
I agree with your doctor. Steroid injections for swelling "lumps" after a facelift can cause the surrounding fat to sink in. If it becomes a persistent lump then it should be injected carefully to avoid this.

Steroid injections after facelift
I use steroid injections to treat scars after facelift surgery. that said, at seven weeks your incisions are still going through normal healing and a normal remolding process. I think you should wait longer and use scar cream conscientiously before considering steroid injections.
Web reference: http://www.kassmd.com
Steroids for face lift swelling.
Thank you for your question about steroid injections for ear lobe swelling after a face lift.
- If the ear lobe swelling is very hard and caused by blood collections after surgery, a cautious steroid injection may help.
- Even so, your surgeon can be right to wait.
- Steroids have many side-effects. They can make scars thin, wide, red and indented.
- A recent article suggests that lidocaine injections without steroid can soften scar safely after a face lift. I have found it works sometimes. Ask your surgeon about this.
Steroid Injections May Cause Atrophy of the Skin
I generally do not like steroid injections for reducing swelling as it may cause atrophy of the skin and fat in an unpredictable manner. Instead, I suggest and prefer using 5FU/steroid mixture only for excessive scar tissue formation on rare occasions, which does not cause atrophy.
Steroid Injections - use as a last resort
Short answer: Give it more time to heal
Steroid injections are not commonly used for postoperative swelling. I think your plastic surgeon has given good advise to wait. Steroids like most medications have side effects and complications such as hypopigmentation, fat atrophy, increased suggestibility to infection, potentially wider scars, and so on.
Steroid Injections after a Facelift
I would follow you plastic surgeons advice. It is not clear from your question if there is a distinct area of swelling, such as due to a tiny hematoma, or if the scar in the incision line is thickened. Either of these generally resolve on their own over time. If they don't then steroid can help but it must be used very carefully. Steroid injected below the skin can cause fat atrophy and a depression it the skin. Steroid injected into a scar can result in an atrophic scar which is thinned and widened. So caution is advised.
Steroid injections for swelling
steroid injections will help soften scar tissue, but it will not make swelling or fluid magically disappear. Injecting into scar tissue might help, but it has to be scar tissue and not just fluid.
Face Lift, Mini Face Lift, The Palmer Celebrity Face Lift, Beverly Hills Face Lift
Typically not because steroid injections can also dissolve the fatty tissue, of the face, causing indentations and depressions that may be permanent. You may be referring to the immediate post op use of a steroid anti-inflammatory oral medication course called a Medrol dose pack. While these are more common after Rhinoplasty, they are sometimes used for Face Lifts during the first 5 post operative days.

Takeover target Sportingbet has rejected an opening bid of £350m from William Hill and GVC Holdings, its board saying the offer "significantly undervalues the business and its future prospects".
Sportingbet was responding to an "indicative offer" from its fellow London-listed operators of 52.5 pence per share, consisting of 45 pence in cash from William Hill and 7.5 pence in shares from GVC, valuing the company at just over £350m.
Hill's and GVC have until 16 October to make a firm offer for Sportingbet, so may yet up their bid for the online betting and gaming operator ahead of this deadline. The prospective bidders may also have to limit the GVC paper element to bring the Sportingbet board to the negotiating table.
The approach for Sportingbet, confirmed on 19 September after its share price rose 17% in an afternoon upon speculation an offer was imminent, would see William Hill acquire the Australian division and other parts of the Sportingbet business operating in regulated markets, while GVC would add the remaining dot.com businesses to the Turkish-language Superbahis business it bought from Sportingbet last year.
Sportingbet's prized Australian-licensed business, bolstered last year with the acquisition of Centrebet for approximately £120m, contributed 43% of revenue and 90% of profit in the last quarter to the end of July.
Hill's has not yet disclosed what other locally licensed markets it would look to acquire as part of the proposed transaction. Sportingbet is joint market leader for online sports betting under its Miapuesta.es brand in Spain, and has licences for Sportingbet and Centrebet in Denmark. The company has also been paying gaming taxes ahead of licensing in Greece, where it is one of the two market leaders for online sports betting.
William Hill's approach for Sportingbet's regulated business follows less than 12 months after bitter rival Ladbrokes' £460m bid for the whole group foundered upon regulatory concerns over the Superbahis business in Turkey, subsequently carved off and sold to GVC for a minimum consideration of £125m.
As well as Superbahis in Turkey, GVC operates the German-facing Casino Club brand and South America-facing Betboo brands. Acquiring Sportingbet's dot.com business would strengthen GVC's presence in both of these markets, particularly in Latin America, where Sportingbet's Miapuesta is one of the leading online betting brands and the leading advertiser alongside PokerStars, undertaking swathes of advertising in football stadiums across Brazil. Around 5% of Sportingbet's revenues are generated from the German market, where it is the sixth largest operator.
Other online operators are now also understood to be weighing possible offers for Sportingbet in the wake of William Hill and GVC's approach.

SAN FRANCISCO - MAY 26: A row of luxury homes are seen near the Golden Gate Bridge May 26, 2005 in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco.
A perfect storm of events in the City this weekend has predictions of motorist mayhem.
Each of the events is expected to draw thousands. And when it comes to Fleet Week, there could be as many as a million people making the trek to the shoreline to see the Blue Angels soar.
And along with the traffic headaches, comes a lot of construction to get in the way for drivers and gawkers.
First, the concrete bleachers near Aquatic Park are closed for a restoration project at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. That means thousands of people will be forced to find a new spot with the rest of us.
Also at a premium this year -- the grassy areas between the museum and the bocce ball courts, thanks to a caravan of construction trailers.
Crissy Field grass is all up for grabs, but the parking at the east lot is at an even higher premium this year because of a parking project.
Those in the know say if you want to park anywhere near San Francisco Bay H2O on Saturday or Sunday, you should plan to arrive by 10 a.m.
And one more thing. The City is in the middle of its one-month "traffic-calming" study at the Presidio, which will no doubt do anything but calm nerves. Presidio Boulevard is closed to cars between West Pacific Avenue and Simonds Loop and the one-way, uphill portion of Crissy Field Avenue is also closed to vehicles, among other temporary measures.
You can take transit, of course, including San Francisco Municipal Railway's F-Market streetcar, which is free this Saturday and Sunday. But remember buses and streetcars can get caught in traffic too.

More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and more than 400,000 of them also have Down Syndrome.
LAS VEGAS - This is National Flu Vaccination Week, and the Southern Nevada Health District is urging people to get flu shots to protect themselves and their families.
Infants, elderly and expecting mothers are especially vulnerable to the flu. Flu activity has been sporadic in the valley, so now is a good time to get vaccinated.
Find Out Where to Get Your Flu Shot
It typically takes two weeks before the shot takes effect. If you get your shot now, you'll be covered during the peak flu season which is between January and March.
"The thing that I hear the most about from patients, 'I don't want to do that. I'm not taking that flu shot, because when I do, when I take that flu vaccine, I get sick,'" said Dr. Patricia Alpert with UNLV's School of Nursing. "It really is not the case."
Dr. Alpert says if you get sick with the flu a few days after receiving the shot, it's probably because you were already exposed to the virus.
Health officials, meanwhile, say the best ways to keep the virus from spreading are to wash your hands, keep a clean house and open your windows to allow fresh air inside.

Symyx is a science-based company spun out of Berkeley. Its unique materials technology has been exploited for 10 years, but the company needs a new business model. The company concept required the invention of hardware and software to do high throughput materials discovery, and a business partnership model to support the scientific and engineering development. The public company must now find new ways to grow, and Isy Goldwasser, a co-founder and new CEO, must lead the transition while maintaining unique scientific resources.

Procter & Gamble
On July 12, 2012, Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management announced publicly that it had purchased about $2 billion of Procter and Gamble (P&G) stock. Shares in the company closed up 3.75% the day the disclosure was made public. Ackman told the New York Times that Pershing would be a major P&G shareholder. "We think it's an underrated stock," he said. "We think there is a lot of great opportunity there."
During the next several months there was little or no public discussion of the matter although people familiar with the situation reported that Ackman held conversations with P&G directors individually. Then, on April 24, 2013, P&G announced that its 3rd quarter earnings had risen 6%. However its 4th quarter forecast fell short of Wall Street's expectations. Shares fell 5% based on this outlook. P&G results were lagging its peers by 4% in 2012 and 2% in the first quarter of 2013.
Then, abruptly in late May, CEO Robert A. McDonald, who was 59, resigned. The board selected A.J. Lafley, (65) who had been McDonald's predecessor to return to lead the company. There was speculation about how long Lafley would stay and in what direction he would take the company. On June 6th, P&G announced that Lafley had appointed four senior executives to lead the company's major businesses, reporting directly to him.

Urinary Tract Infection in Men
Most urinary tract infections in men cannot be prevented. Practicing safe sex by using condoms will help to prevent infections that are transmitted through sexual contact.
In men with benign prostatic hypertrophy, cutting out caffeine and alcohol or taking certain prescription medications may help to improve urine flow and prevent the buildup of urine in the bladder, which increases the likelihood of infection. Many men with urinary infections due to an enlarged prostate gland require surgery to remove part of the gland. Because this surgery can improve urine flow, it can help prevent infections.

UNION COUNTY, N.C. -- Another Charlotte-area county is staring at a possible lawsuit because county commissioners frequently invoke Jesus' name during prayers that open public meetings.
On Friday afternoon, Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation emailed a letter to Union County renewing objections to what it called unconstitutional sectarian prayers, and urged the board to remove prayers from its meetings.
The nonprofit foundation never received a response from the county on its initial letter, from February, where the group noted it had received a complaint from a local resident about the prayers.
"This stays on our radar," said Patrick Elliott, staff attorney for the group. "If they do not change (in the coming months) we are considering filing a lawsuit."
He cited a 2011 U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against Forsyth County, which held that sectarian prayers violated the Constitution. "It is troubling that the (Union) board has willfully continued this illegal practice," Elliott wrote Friday.
Union County board Chair Jerry Simpson said commissioners take turn offering the invocation or designating some to do it for them, such as a local pastor. Spirituality is a part of the lives of a huge majority of county residents, he said, and they appreciate that commissioners make prayer a part of their meeting.
"I'm not aware of anybody in Wisconsin who voted for me," Simpson added.
At a March meeting, Commissioner Jonathan Thomas praised local churches and others for their strong support after word of the foundation's concerns. He had opened that meeting with an invocation that concluded with, "in Jesus' name, amen."
In an interview, Thomas said the threat of a lawsuit is a real concern.
He said he wasn't trying to be disrespectful or send a message to the foundation with the invocation. But, he added, "Nobody tells me how to pray."
Thomas said Union County residents knew his values, and those of his fellow commissioners, when they voted them into office. If they don't like those values, he said, they can make changes on Election Day.
Thomas said he was shocked the county had to deal with criticism over the invocation, especially in a community where "most people on a Sunday morning are in some type of Christian setting."
Thomas suggested that people who feel uncomfortable with the invocation can wait to enter the meeting room until after the prayer is over, or if they are watching from home, turn down the volume on the TV or computer.
In the Friday email, Elliott stated it was immaterial how many residents wanted the board to continue sectarian prayers. Commissioners could pray outside of the meetings, he said, "without abusing their civil offices to impose personal religious views and rituals upon citizens."
One of the churches that supported the board, Ebenezer Baptist in Indian Trail, disagreed. Its pastor, the Rev. Tim Rogers, said freedom of religion means commissioners should be able to pray to whatever faith they believe in.
"If he prays to Allah, let him pray to Allah. If he prays to the one true God, let him pray to Jesus," Rogers said, adding, "Baptists have always stood for the freedom of religion."
'The promise of public neutrality'
Controversies over public prayer have percolated across North Carolina for several years.
In 2011, the federal appeals court ruled that prayers to Jesus at Forsyth County meetings violated the First Amendment. "Sectarian prayers…(run) afoul of the promise of public neutrality among faiths that resides at the heart of the First Amendment's religion clauses," the court majority wrote.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the county's appeal last year.
In March 2012, Kannapolis City Council members opted to start their meetings with silent prayer instead of praying aloud after the Wisconsin foundation wrote them about the issue. At the time, City Manager Mike Legg told the Salisbury Post, "The law is pretty clear, and that doesn't paint a good outcome (for the city) if it were to be challenged."
On its website, the foundation describes itself as "an umbrella for those who are free from religion" and committed to separation of church and state. Co-President Dan Barker has authored several books, including, "Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists."
And two months ago, the American Civil Liberties Union helped Rowan County residents sue the county to try to stop commissioners from opening meetings with Christian prayers.
Two Rowan County state legislators then made national headlines with a resolution stating that North Carolina, its counties and municipalities have the right to establish an official religion. The plan died quickly in the legislature.

For the most part killer whales aren't considered dangerous marine mammals.
Despite being carnivorous animals killer whales don't eat people or generally try to attack them.
Whether it's because we don't resemble any food sources they would normally eat or we just don't taste appetizing to them is unknown however killer whales don't appear to have a desire to hunt and/or eat us, and that's definitely a good thing.
Unlike sharks killer whales don't typically attack humans unless they feel threatened and in no known cases has a human ever been eaten by a killer whale.
For the most part killer whales are actually considered to be very friendly animals, at least as far as we know and have experienced them to be.
They are even the main attraction at several marine parks bringing in thousands of spectators yearly to watch them perform.
These mammals are highly intelligent and capable of learning complex tasks.
They are also known for performing amazing tricks and areal acrobatics which makes them a popular crowd pleaser at aquatic shows.
The name "killer whale" comes from the fact that these marine mammals are the largest known mammals of the dolphin species and because they have highly complex team oriented hunting methods.
They often hunt as a well-organized pod and will use sophisticated hunting methods to capture their prey.
These dolphins have even been referred to as the wolves of the sea based on observations of the way they hunt for food.
In addition to their complex hunting methods killer whales are also equipped with echolocation which helps them locate food sources simply by using sound.
Killer whales are known to eat everything from fish and squid to penguins, sea lions, polar bears and even whales.
When not hunting these dolphins spend their time resting, socializing and traveling with family.
As many as four generations of family members may be seen swimming together in a pod, and even when the children are fully matured they maintain close relationships with their mother.
On the other hand despite their apparent friendliness these whales have been known to occasionally attack their trainers when feeling threatened.
Although these attacks are rare they can and have happened.
In these cases the killer whale would usually grab hold of the trainers limb or hair and pull them underwater.
Thankfully most of these events have only caused minor bumps and scrapes, so extreme caution is always advised and people should never approach a killer whale in the wild.
While they aren't known for attacking people they are still large animals and will defend themselves and their families if they feel threatened.

HELP Solarize your Neighborhood
Rooftop solar power provides clean, local and independent energy, all while saving money on your electricity bill. Solarize Chapel Hill is a non-profit, grassroots effort that makes it easy both to find out if solar is right for you, and to get solar on more roofs.
By organizing neighbors together for group discounts, vetting solar installers, and helping you maximize the tax incentives, Solarize Chapel Hill makes it simple and affordable to go solar. More than 300 people participated in our recent program in Carrboro, so we know that many in Chapel Hill could become more energy independent and save money by adding solar. The biggest challenge is getting the word out about how affordable solar power has become. We are currently recruiting volunteer Neighborhood Solar Ambassadors to get the word out in neighborhoods around Chapel Hill. If you are interested in becoming a Neighborhood Solar Ambassador or just want to learn more, please join us at TRU in Chapel Hill (114 Henderson Street) on July 22 at 7pm for drinks, appetizers, merriment, and the opportunity to learn more about Solarize Chapel Hill. FIRST ROUND AND APPETIZERS ARE ON US! More info at www.solarizeChapelHill.org.
New Recycling Day will change to Mondays, starting June 30th. Residents should start using the new rolling, blue carts.
Start using the blue bin on July 1. The county will only pick up curbside recyclables ONLY from the blue bins beginning July 1.You are welcome to keep your small green Waste Industries bin for your personal use. If you do NOT want to keep the small green bin, put it inside your big blue bin anytime during the month of July and it will be recycled.We could also stack a few small green bins in the dumpster area in case anyone has a use for them later.You may have noticed, if you read the postcard from Orange County Solid Waste Management, that you can now add plastics that are not bottles to the stream— yogurt tubs, flower pots, and the like. BUT they must be #2, #4 or #5. If you are not sure, better to put it in the regular trash. Flimsy clear plastic like vegetable containers and food take-out containers are NEVER acceptable. Throw them in the regular trash. Same goes for all styrofoam. Throw it in the regular trash. Anytime you are not sure if something is recyclable, throw it in the regular trash.You are always welcome to put larger trash items in the first 2 dumpsters. (But corrugated cardboard goes in the 3rd dumpster.If you have questions about how and where to recycle something, see… http://www.co.orange.nc.us/recycling/a-z-recyclery.aspwhere there is a drop down menu called HOW DO I RECYCLE…

The Accidental Alarm Program, established by an ordinance passed by the Council in October 2013, aims to reduce the number of accidental alarm calls through a system of education, registration, and assessments for repeat accidental alarms.
Beginning May 1, businesses and residents operating an alarm system within the Town of Chapel Hill were required to register their alarm systems. Homes and businesses are required to register within 10 business days of operating new alarm equipment or within 10 business days of May 1 if they already operate an alarm system.
Failure to register your alarm system with the Town before July 1, 2014 will result in a
$100 penalty.
In order to help residents/business owners to register their alarms and avoid the fine for failing to register, the Chapel Hill Police Department will hold a series of registration events. Residents and business owners may come to these events and register their alarms systems with the assistance of CHPD officers. Officers will also be available to answer any questions that residents may have.
Events will be held at the following dates and locations:
· Chapel Hill Public Library
o Friday, May 30th: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon
o Wednesday, June 4th: 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
o Friday, June 6th: 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
o Friday, June 13th: 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
· University Mall (Information Desk Area inside Mall)
o Thursday, May 29th: 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
o Tuesday, June 3rd: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon
o Tuesday, June 10th: 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
For more information or to register your alarm online, visit www.townofchapelhill.org/alarms or call the Chapel Hill Police Department's Alarm Administrator at (919) 968-2764.
You may also register by calling, toll-free, 1-855-725-7107.

Town evacuates after trail derails, spills gas and oilThe Associated Press | October 20,2013Provided Photo
This photo provided by Royal Canadian Mounted Police shows emergency crews fighting a massive fire after a tanker train carrying oil and gas derailed Saturday in Gainford, Alberta, Canada. The entire community of about 100 people were evacuated.GAINFORD, Alberta Emergency crews battled a massive fire Saturday after a Canadian National tanker train carrying oil and gas derailed west of Edmonton, Alberta, overnight. No injuries were reported as of mid-afternoon.
Canadian National spokesman Louis-Antoine Paquin said 13 cars four carrying petroleum crude oil and nine loaded with liquified petroleum gas came off the tracks around 1 a.m. local time in the hamlet of Gainford, about 50 miles from Edmonton. The entire community of roughly 100 people was evacuated.
Paquin says three cars containing gas were leaking and on fire. Local officials feared there could be an explosion and declared a state of emergency.
Its still a risky situation so we need to contain as much as possible and keep people far away, said Carson Mills, spokesman for Parkland County, which includes Gainford.
A local resident described hearing a series of crashes moments before a huge fireball shot into the sky.
The fireball was so big, it shot across both lanes of the Yellowhead (Highway) and now both lanes of the Yellowhead are closed and theres fire on both sides, said the eyewitness identified only as Duane.
The train was travelling from Edmonton to Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Transportation Safety Board said it is sending investigators to the scene.
Questions about the increasing transport of oil by rail in the U.S. and Canada were raised in July after an unattended train with 72 tankers of oil rolled into the small Quebec town of Lac-Megantic near the Maine border, derailing and triggering explosions that killed 47 people. The towns center was destroyed. The rail companys chairman blamed the trains operator for failing to set enough hand brakes.
Much of that increase is from oil produced in the Bakken region, a rock formation underlying portions of Montana and North Dakota in the U.S., and Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada.
The train that crashed in the small Quebec town was carrying oil from North Dakota to a refinery in New Brunswick, Canada.
The train, using DOT-111 railcars, was operated by a U.S. company, the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway.
In the first half of this year, U.S. railroads moved 178,000 carloads of crude oil. Thats double the number during the same period last year and 33 times more than during the same period in 2009. The Railway Association of Canada estimates that as many as 140,000 carloads of crude oil will be shipped on Canadas tracks this year, up from 500 carloads in 2009.
Following the fatal Quebec derailment, Cynthia Quarterman, head of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, has said the U.S. agency expects to publish draft regulations requiring that DOT-111 railcars be retrofitted to address safety concerns. The agencys proposal is intended to fix a dangerous design flaw in the rail cars, which are used to haul oil and other hazardous liquids throughout North America.
Canadian officials had said the oil carried by that freight train had been misclassified as a less dangerous type of crude and they urged U.S. and Canadian regulators to ensure dangerous goods are accurately labeled.
Another key issue is whether railroads should be required to employ a minimum of two workers per train. The train that exploded in Quebec had only one engineer, who wasnt with the train at the time of the accident.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO — Police in Brattleboro say three men have been taken into custody following a...

Cloutier insists Riddle is not returning to Stingrays
Posted: January 16, 2013|
COACH Sylvain Cloutier has confirmed his short-list of potential signings does not include former player of the year Jake Riddle.
Cloutier is in the market for a new forward to pep up the Rapid Solicitors Hull Stingrays' chances of qualifying for the play-offs.
Riddle netted 39 points in 51 games in 2007-08, collecting the player of the year, forward of the year and fans' favourite trophies in Stingrays' end-of-season awards.
He lasted just eight games the following season, axed by previous coach Rick Strachan for failing to heed warnings over his on-ice demeanour.
With the team rooted to the foot of the Elite League table and the signing deadline looming, Cloutier has been scouring the international player market, with suggestions he has turned to the American winger.
"I did speak to Jake in August and again last month, but nothing got serious," said Cloutier.
"He wanted to come back to Hull, but would not have qualified for a visa.
"It's funny how rumours start about players."
Cloutier confirmed he has not given up his search for reinforcements, given Stingrays are four points adrift of the top-eight play-off places.
If he is to bolster his squad before the weekend's double away header in Braehead and Edinburgh, Cloutier would need to unearth a player in Europe or a British passport holder to simplify the paperwork involved.
