Secretary - Ms. Petronella A. Barrow
I. Dr. Paul Swerdlow called the meeting to
order at 9:10 AM. Dr. Charles Peterson read the required notification
regarding conflicts of interest and reminded those present to sign in on
the required sign-in sheets.
II. The Minutes of November 13, 2000 were
reviewed and approved.
III. Dr. Swerdlow introduced the
Scientific Presentations.
A. Dr. Martin Steinberg reviewed
Hemoglobin SC Disease. He noted that approximately 1/800 African Americans
has the genotype but the clinical expression varies from extremely mild to
severe. In general, complications are about one half those seen in individuals
with Hb SS. He reviewed the data on the use of hydroxyurea in patients with Hb
SC. There are 3 phase I-II studies with patient numbers ranging from 5 - 8
subjects. There has been minimal toxicity reported to date in these trials all
of which used relatively low doses. There have been no studies of clinical
effectiveness or detailed studies of potential mechanisms of action of efficacy
in this population. Another problem is the lack of data regarding who with Hb
SC becomes ill and what predictors of clinical course may be valid in designing
a trial. The data regarding clinical severity may be present in the data base
for the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease but this has not been
B. Dr. Carlo Brugnara reviewed
Therapies to Prevent Dehydration of Sickle Erythrocytes. There are
a number of approaches being utilized to increase red cell hydration that
include the Gardos, Cl, and KCL cotransport channels. Clotrimazole has been
shown to block dehydration in cells, the SAD mouse and humans. The problem with
the drug in humans is that hepatic toxicity is found in persons with sickle
cell disease at doses above 20 -30 mg/kg/24 hours. Other compounds including Mg
pindolate, and compounds identified by industry (Icogen and NeuroSearch) are
being evaluated in preclinical and planned clinical trials. A combined
trial of magnesium and hydroxyurea is also being planned.
IV. Drs. Liana Harvath, Martin Ruta (FDA), and
Rebecca Haley (American Red Cross) presented the issue of leukoreduction
problems. On June 15, 2001, there will be a Blood Products Advisory Meeting
convened by the FDA to explore the problem of leukofiltration failures.
Leukoreduction has been advocated for all units of red cells in that this
procedure is associated with a decrease in alloimmunization and febrile
reactions in recipients. Approximately 1% of units are lost due to filtration
problems usually associated with clots in the unit. There has been some concern
that units from persons with sickle trait do not filter well. While a technical
solution to the problem is being sought, FDA has proposed screening of blood
donors for sickle cell trait.
The Committee felt that screening blood donors for
sickle hemoglobin would be counterproductive and deliver the wrong message to a
community where the shortage of donors presents tremendous problems. Dr. Jeanne
Smith volunteered to represent the Sickle Cell Advisory Committee opinion to
the FDA meeting on leukoreduction and report back to the Committee. Dr.
Swerdlow would also convene an ad hoc committee to draft a statement on behalf
of the Committee prior to the next meeting.
V. Dr. Swerdlow gave the Chairmans
report. He noted that there was a pending FDA Notice of Meeting on Anesthetic
and Life Support Drugs Advisory Committee. The meeting had been postponed from
its original time of June 14 and 15. The committee will discuss the medical use
of opiate analgesics in various patient populations including pediatric
patients and patients with chronic pain of nonmalignant etiology, as well as
the risk to benefit ratio of extending opiate treatment into these populations.
Dr. Swerdlow noted the importance of pain therapy for patients with sickle cell
disease and volunteered to attend the FDA meeting of the Anesthetic and Life
Support Drugs Advisory Committee and coordinate a response of the Sickle Cell
Disease Advisory Committee as necessary. He passed out the notice of meeting to
the Committee.
VI. Action Items from previous meeting
were completed or discussed as follows:
A. It was recommended by the committee
that the Sickle Cell Disease Research Group distribute a list of ongoing
clinical trials and brief progress reports on each as well as potential studies
and current priorities prior to the Committee Meeting. This was done by
Dr. Bonds.
B. Speakers for the next meeting should
be sought who could address the issues of clinical trials that increase
cellular hydration with magnesium and feasible clinical trials in SC disease.
This was accomplished.
C. The Protocol Review/DSMB Committees of
BABY HUG are requested to report to the Committee regarding development of the
protocol, age of participants, and considerations of therapeutic endpoints and
potential toxicities. Since DSMB deliberations are ongoing, this discussion was
postponed until the next meeting.
D. The issue of sickle cell trait as a
public health problem as well as a problem for the military will be
considered in future meetings. The committee will continue to try and see
if someone from the military can address the issue at a future meeting.
To date it has not been possible to get a person. Dr. Alving will contact the
Army Surgeon General to see if she can find someone to address the committee.
In response to these efforts, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Sheffler Consultant to
the Surgeon General for Hematology/Oncology and Chief of the Hematology
/Oncology Service at Brooke Army Medical Center will be attending the meetings.
He reported on the history of screening for sickle cell disease in the
military. After a great deal of activity in the 1960s and 1970s with the Kark
Report, changes in procedure were introduced such that there were no deaths in
the subsequent 10 years. In 1996 it was recommended that the army not screen.
Each service has its own policy. The Air Force screens and offers those found
positive the option to opt out of service. The Navy screens and identifies
those positive with a special neck tag and a red belt during heavy exercise
sessions. The marines screen but do not alter routine. The routine for marines
during training is to pay strict attention to protocol for hydration and
electrolyte restoration. The army had 8 deaths in the years 1999-2000 during
basic training. Of these, 5 were screened for presence of hemoglobin S and 3
were found positive. In view of the higher than expected prevalence, the Army
is reviewing its procedures with respect to screening.
The following motion was moved, seconded and
unanimously approved by the Committee.
Measures to prevent exertional heat illness eliminate
the disparity in sudden death during military basic training between persons
with sickle cell trait and persons without sickle cell trait and reduce the
risk of death in both groups. The Sickle Cell Disease Advisory Committee
recommends: 1. All military services should systematically
implement measures to prevent exertional heat illness and monitor compliance
with such measures. 2. Routine screening of recruits for
sickle cell trait is unnecessary, potentially stigmatizing and discriminatory,
and should be discontinued. 3. Screening for sickle cell trait
may be appropriate prior to participation in selected activities that involve
predictable exposure to environmental hypoxia. In such circumstances, screening
should be universal and education and counseling should be provided to persons
identified as hemoglobinopathy carriers.
VII. Dr. Alving gave the Director's
Report from the Division of Blood Diseases and Resources. The
progress on the book Management and Therapy of Sickle Cell Disease was reviewed
and the list of contents distributed. Each member of the Sickle Cell
Disease Advisory Committee was encouraged to review the entire book and forward
comments to Dr. Alving by June 28, 2001.
Dr. Alving distributed a number of letters that she
had received regarding a need for a network to perform clinical studies in
sickle cell research. She noted that within the current framework, the
goal of NHLBI is to develop a clinical research network through the sickle cell
centers. Plans for workshop on Adults with Sickle Cell Disease - to
be held in conjunction with HRSA. Received names of those who wished to
work in this area were planned.
VIII. Agency Reports
A. Department of the Army. Dr. Shefflers
report is summarized above (IV. D.)
B. Centers for Disease Control. Ms. Barbara
Adam gave the report. She had a number of questions regarding Hb SC
disease in response to a letter from a patient with the condition. Notable
among the issues raised include that few physicians or emergency rooms know of
the condition much less follow guidelines for care. Thus there appears to
be under reporting, miscoding, and misdiagnosis of the condition. There
are no studies known regarding quality of life issues for individuals with Hb
SC. The Committee concurred on the lack of data regarding quality of life
issues and encouraged development of a workshop in the area. It was
further pointed out that the ICD 9 codes for both SC disease and sickle beta
thalassemia make no sense and are confusing to health care providers. It
was noted that to change an ICD 9 code, one must work with the American Medical
Association. Dr. Swerdlow noted that he would coordinate an outreach for
the Committee to the AMA regarding the ICD 9 codes for SC disease and sickle
beta thalassemia disorders.
Ms. Adams noted the many changes occurring in the
methods of testing being used for neonatal screening. A number of gene
based kits are beginning to appear as are new methods using tandem, MALDI, and
ESI-mass spectroscopy for detecting hemoglobin variants. There is still
some interest on the part of the CDC in participating in or convening a
workshop on new methods. The Committee felt that such a conference might
attract international interest as well as interest from the many state
screening programs.
C. Health Resources and Services
Administration. Dr. Marie Mann reviewed the agencies appoaches to newborn
screening and the implications of new technologies for screening. There
has also been an increased interest in the ethical, legal and social issues
that accompany screening programs. Policies and procedures regarding the
use and storage of blood spot samples used for screening are under
evaluation. The agency would like to develop model procedures that could
be distributed.
D. Veterans Administration. Dr. Joseph DeSimone
noted that the VA is developing new funding opportunities for those that
historically treat minority populations. Details of these efforts will be
forwarded to the Committee as they appear.
IX. Update on Program Activities
SICKLE CELL CENTERS (CSCCs)
A. Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers Renewal.
Dr. Gregory Evans reviewed the time line for the renewal of the RFA for the
Sickle Cell Centers and noted that suggestions from the committee were taken to
incorporated in the new RFA.
Application Receipt: September
25, 2001 Merit Review: Spring 2002
Presentation of Proposed Funding Plan to NHLBI Advisory
Council: September 2002 Award: April
B. Dr. Evans reported on a the Strategic
Plan for a Gene-Based Cure for Beta-Chain Hemoglobinopathies. The first 3
of 11 potential initiatives were presented to the Bureau of Extramural Advisors
(BEA) and the Council. These three initiatives dealt with approaches to
increasing hemoglobin F. One of the initiatives has been announced and
two others are moving forward.
C. MSH Patients Follow-up Cohort Trial.
Dr. Duane Bonds reviewed the status of trial and noted that an additional 5
years of follow-up was being planned by NHLBI. Dr. Steinberg mentioned that he
and others were working on a report updating the follow up of these patients.
D. BABY Hug Phase 3 Clinical Trial. This
protocol is under review by the DSMB at the present time.
E. Parvovirus B19 Study. Dr. Duane Bonds
announced that this cumulative incidence epidemiologic study has been initiated
through nine of the ten Sickle Cell Centers and recruitment of patients now
exceeds 700.
F. STOP 2 Trial. Dr. Bonds reported that the
trial was underway and 3 patients have been recruited.
G. Additional Clinical Trials in
Progress. Dr. Bonds reported that the Hip Core Trial continues to recruit
patients and now has 32 patients in follow up. This trial and a planned
trial in Acute Chest Syndrome are being coordinated through the Oakland Sickle
Cell Center. The Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease Cohort Study
continues to encourage investigators to apply for ancillary funds to further
evaluate data. Interested investigators should contact Dr. Bonds.
H. A number of potential initiatives were
discussed. Dr. Bonds was encouraged to proceed with efforts in the
following areas: 1. Sickle Cell Disease and the Lung. 2.
Hydroxyurea and SC Disease. 3. Membrane active agents and Hb SC and
I. The Committee was reminded that the Sickle
Cell Disease Meetings at NHLBI will be from August 24-27, 2001
X. Dates of Next Meetings
November 5, 2001 June 3, 2002
XI. Summary List of Action Items
A. Dr. Jeanne Smith volunteered to represent
the Sickle Cell Advisory Committee to the FDA meeting on leukoreduction and
report back to the Committee. Dr. Swerdlow would also convene an ad hoc
committee to draft a statement on behalf of the Committee prior to the next

District Guide
Johor Bahru, more commonly known by its initials JB, is rather obviously located in the state of Johor and is its capital city. It has a staggering population that reaches close to a million people just in its central area. The area's biggest advantage is undoubtedly its locale, being the first state and thus city that one enters when travelling from Singapore via the Singapore – Johor Causeway. This road in turn links drivers to the Second Link Expressway, the North South Expressway and even the Johor Bahru Railway Station.
Johor Bahru is considered the most major Malaysian city centre next to Kuala Lumpur. Understandably so as the area packs a punch in almost every avenue one can think of be it educationally, medically, recreationally, industrially and therefore residentially. Number 1 is through its Sunway College and NIIT College. Number 2 with its slew of specialist hospitals along with the General Hospital. 3 with the Johor Zoo and its multitude of shopping options (Johor Bahru City Square most importantly) and number 4 with its CBD (Central Business District) and Johor Port. No wonder it receives almost half of its tourist population from across the border!

I had to contact support to even get the download after i paid for it, got a terse but effective reply, not so big of a problem in and of itself.
Documentation is lacking, the drag and drop mode will not install in Joomla 3 and it doesn't respond to "loadmodule" commands within an article.
The means of loading images is difficult and I am a fairly advanced in my use of JQuery and Joomla in general.
The forums are almost non existent with precious few and useless responses. A support ticket request requires deep access to the root installation to even complete a support ticket.
I am giving up on this and writing off the cost. There are other, easier to use modules and components for this. I recommend to avoid this one and I think all of those "Excellent" reviews are shills.
1. The download link always go in an email. You can easily get that from your inbox or spam or simply download it yourself from the website.
2. About the documentation, its clearly mentioned that drag drop is not supported in Joomla 3.0
3. Of course, this is not a plugin but a module. So, if you want to put on an article page, you need to use load position tag.
I installed it on my website and Mega Responsive Image Slideshow totally ruined it! Okay, firstly I thought the documentation and the support staff will help. With this I have two problem:
1, There isn't any kind of documentation! (Or I can't find it.)
2, The support stuff ignore me.
But the biggest problem is that I lost all of my works that I've done in the past few days. Very, very, very frustrating!
I have no idea how people can recommend it so highly. I could not.
I dont see any tickets in your name. Can you send me an email with your ticket ID please, email@example.com
MORE IMPORTANTLY: The developer's support is outstanding. As soon as I bought the extension I got a personal e-mail from them with direct contact information in case I needed support of any kind. WOW!
Highly recommend the extension and highly recommend anything from this developer!
Kudos for the dev team and will recommend this extension....

Thread: Orleans DA drops murder case
Orleans DA drops murder case
Orleans DA drops murder case
Witness, evidence problems mounted
Friday, February 16, 2007
By Gwen Filosa
Staff writer
Orleans Parish prosecutors have given up trying to charge a first-degree murder suspect from its batch of 47 homicide cases from 2006, blaming witness problems and a lack of physical evidence.
Click here to find out more!
Treg Eugene, 20, is free from the accusation of gunning down Darryl Tyrone "Dizzy" Davis, 20, as the two were chasing a rapper outside a Hollygrove home on May 28. Eugene also escaped an attempted-murder charge involving a gunshot wound to the rapper's leg.
District Attorney Eddie Jordan's office dumped the case because the surviving victim couldn't or wouldn't identify anyone as the perpetrator, his spokesman Dalton Savwoir said.
Monday's refusal marks a second time Eugene has escaped charges of violence in recent years.
In his latest case, the victim, Alton G. Patterson, 34, has a thick criminal record of his own dating back to 1990 that includes an attempted-murder conviction and arrests on charges of drug possession and kidnapping.
Prosecutors refused charges against Eugene, along with two other defendants in an unrelated 2006 murder case, on Monday, the same day Jordan and Police Superintendent Warren Riley spent four hours before the City Council explaining why their departments lag in curbing New Orleans' violent crime wave, which left a body count of 162 last year.
The decision to refuse charges against Eugene came after a magistrate commissioner found probable cause for both first-degree murder and attempted murder. On Feb. 7, detectives testified they caught Eugene with a 9 mm gun that matched the bullets taken out of Davis' corpse.
Eugene may not have intended to kill his accomplice and friend, detectives said, but they booked him with capital murder because Davis was cut down while the pair were committing a crime.
Ballistics tests match the lethal bullets to the gun Eugene was carrying when arrested, police said. But, Savwoir said, "The gun was circumstantial evidence" and not enough to pin Eugene to a murder.
Eugene, who stands 4-foot-9 and weighs about 140 pounds, became a fugitive after the killing of Davis, and was on the lam until the U.S. Marshal's Service arrested him in Houston in November. Eugene was booked into Orleans Parish Prison on Dec. 12 and held without bail until this week.
Left at hospital
The shootings occurred in the darkness before dawn on May 28 in the 2700 block of Monticello Street. Bullets from a 9 mm pistol and an assault rifle rained down on Patterson as he was getting into his car, police said. He ran away, with the gunmen chasing him.
Shortly after the gunfire, someone dropped Davis off at a hospital, leaving no information and refusing to wait. Davis died from a bullet that entered his left arm and penetrated his heart and a lung.
One prosecutor deemed the case "weak" from the start, according to a law enforcement officer familiar with the case. On top of not having an ideal eyewitness to the crime, Patterson had an outstanding warrant in a 2004 attempted murder that he only recently answered.
"Everyone involved was a character," the officer said Wednesday.
Eugene dodged an attempted murder rap in 2003, when he was 17.
Police booked him with shooting a 30-year-old man at the corner of South Liberty and Thalia streets, and with illegally carrying weapons. The victim had been shot in the leg, and 6th District detectives fingered Eugene as the suspect
But prosecutors dumped the case in less than a month after the teen's arrest, refusing to charge.
One of four held
In another 2006 murder case development, Jordan's team Monday refused to charge two suspects booked in the murder of Mandell Duplessis, 24, in Gentilly on Aug. 4. Alphonse Gilmore, 18, and Averill Johnson, 21, are free from charges. Only one man remains a suspect, Garelle Smith, 25, booked in January outside the shuttered St. Bernard housing complex during a protest by residents who want it reopened.
Smith is the one who pulled the trigger on Duplessis, police said, during an armed robbery at a FEMA trailer that Duplessis unwittingly interrupted.
A fourth murder suspect, Wendell Mingo, 21, was booked with Duplessis' murder but prosecutors failed to charge within the legal deadline of 60 days and he walked on that case. But Mingo remains in Parish Prison, awaiting extradition to Georgia on a warrant issued for his arrest there.

Charles Brock, Elementary School Principal
Administrative Philosophy
Charles Brock
Administrative Philosophy
I have developed my philosophy of education and the principalship over the past twenty-seven years. These years have
given me a healthy and balanced perspective from which to construct practical effective programs to improve student learning.
The last six years, working in an overseas, multicultural, international school with students from sixty-three different countries,
has had a major impact on this philosophy. In keeping with my recent experience, some of my beliefs have evolved. Many other
ideas, developed during my years as an educator in Washington State, have been affirmed. This blending of ideas and approaches,
gives me much to offer students, staff and parents in any school under my leadership.
Given the right instruction in the appropriate environment, all children can learn to the peak of their innate ability.
Of course there are obstacles, but it is up to educators to ensure that each child receives his or her optimal instructional
program in a high quality learning environment. As a principal, it is up to me to provide teachers and staff with the training,
resources and motivation to make this happen.
My experiences have confirmed that children from various cultures are subtly different in how they learn and how they
present behaviors. This is a result of what is valued in their society, cultural expectations for learning and the amount
of parental participation in their child's education. This makes it imperative that we strive to best serve children from
all backgrounds to optimize their opportunity for learning. We must celebrate the uniqueness of every child to best help
them grow in the broader society surrounding them.
It is my conviction that the way to reach children is to build upon their strengths and not just concentrate on their
areas of weakness. This means helping staff members learn to accept all children. Educators must help unlock the door to
learning for every child, regardless of their heritage. The foundation for teacher/staff relationships with students should
be built on praising children for what they can do, and then gently back-filling to strengthen those areas in need of further
Students respond well to positive peer interactions in the classroom at all ages. Experience working in cooperative teams
is important beginning with the earliest years in school. In this way, children will learn to support one another in their
learning and project work, just as teams in the corporate world work together to share their strengths, in order to produce
the best plans for products or services. Yes, we want to develop individuals, but life is a cooperative endeavor.
Instructional Leader:
Principals should be, first and foremost, instructional leaders. They must work with staff, parents and students to lead
key constituents to embrace instructional practices and techniques that best meet the needs of the community. Sometimes this
means bringing in new ideas and motivating others to see the benefits of adopting them. It means accepting the challenge
of being at the forefront of the change process.
A good instructional leader must be prepared for resistance to new and improved ways of doing things, and work to overcome
it, by getting to truly know each teacher and staff member and how each best deals with change. The principal must also be
ready and able to share expertise and data to convince the school body that change (even though it may be difficult) will
benefit the students of the school. Good data producers, such as the WASL or the International School Assessment program
are tools that help develop actionable data, to improve student learning. Helping students, after all, is the job of every
staff member! Sometimes this will mean starting with a group of forward thinking people willing to pilot a new idea and share
their experiences with the rest of the staff. The positive force of groups like this can radiate outward and bring about
positive change across an entire school.
An effective principal must be able to be a motivator to students, staff, parents and the larger community. This means
planning regular purposeful meetings with each of these constituencies throughout the year. I believe in holding "Coffee
Hours" in order to keep in close communication with parents. This sharing time allows for the development of good feelings
regarding what the school is, and should be, doing. It is also a time to gently inform parents of their very important role
in their children's education.
Humor is highly effective in motivating a staff, as is praise for work well done and quality training for instructional
programs. I believe in setting time aside to allow teachers to share the positive steps they and their colleagues have taken
for students, school and the community. Another way I like to help motivate the staff, is to take duties from time to time,
in order to periodically provide staff members an extra long lunch or planning period. Teachers who are well cared for, pay
these small kindnesses back one hundred fold in that which they give to their students, school and community.
Student motivation is sometimes overlooked on the school wide level. It should not be. One of the best ways to motivate
children, outside of the classroom environment, is for them to spend quality time with the principal. I make it a goal to
go out to lunch with students on a weekly basis, by finding a willing corporate sponsor to pick up the expense. Students
who get this attention feel more attached to their schools, their studies and society. Another motivator for students is
the grade level assembly. This allows the principal to meet with grade level groups to praise students for the hard work they
do, share good news about student life and make academic and behavioral reminders. This is also a great venue for parents
who are willing to share their school and work experiences, and the role education has played in their life/career.
The role of the principal includes many important managerial tasks. Principals are responsible for large budgets, mainly
in regards to personnel, but also in terms of professional development, supplies, maintenance and safety. It is a critical
function of the principal to manage the budget in such a way that it best serves the instructional learning goals of the school.
In this way, the principal ensures that funds are targeted at those areas in greatest need of strengthening for maximum student
learning. The budget must reflect funding realities while supporting the students and teachers with the resources they need
to best meet learning standards and benchmarks.
Another key managerial function of the principal is to ensure open lines of communication with all constituencies. Working
on district committees which support district and state priorities, as well as school record keeping and reports to the district,
state and local community are also under the principal's management umbrella. School safety is an important role of the
principal. A safe place in which to learn and work is paramount, if we are to do our best in the education of our children.
I monitor this personally to ensure a safe environment for all stake holders in the school.
Team Player:
Being a team player is an important requisite to excellence as a principal. The building principal must interact constantly
with other members of the larger administrative team. It has always been my practice to share educational resources (intellectual,
material and human), with my colleagues in Washington State, and my administrative team in Prague. This type of collaboration
greatly improves the capabilities of all those involved in the sharing.
In the Czech Republic, I have worked with the director and other principals to complete the curriculum, change scheduling
procedures, refine the hiring process, develop plans for new facilities and formulate a new appraisal systems for teachers
and classified staff. My active role in facilitating the move to web-based curriculum mapping and unit planning, after spending
time at a workshop with Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs, has benefited the International School of Prague.
In my public school experience, I was a member of our first collaborative contract building attempts. With hard work
on everyone's part, they went very well. The key was transparency. Rational people on both teams joined together to solve
problems, rather than to make demands and cut deals. It was a challenge and pleasure to serve in this capacity five times.
I was appointed Bethel School District Year-round School Coordinator, in addition to my principalship. I served in that
capacity for two years, during difficult times when the district was growing rapidly, and people were unwilling to pass bonds
to build new schools. During this time, I researched philosophies, calendars and solutions to the strains of year-round school.
I visited seven school districts in California that were on various year-round configurations and attended the Year-Round
School Conference in San Diego. I also facilitated a Bethel Year-round School Committee which developed plans for implementation
of a year-round calendar. This committee was decommissioned after passage of a construction bond that allowed the district
to add needed space.
The principalship is a complex and challenging task. It requires caring, energy, risk-taking, a love of the work and
an understanding of best practice in instruction and assessment. A principal needs to have and exercise the judgment to deal
with personnel considerations, from hiring the best to helping staff in need. The principal must be ready to help employees
who are struggling with their professional or personal lives, in any way possible, to benefit the students served. A quality
principal understands policy, state administrative codes and the laws they are meant to clarify. A principal has to have
the ability to multitask, think outside the box, and possess the willingness and desire to be an integral part of the larger
Most of all, an exemplary principal builds a team that works to create a balanced mix of all the factors I have noted
in my letter. A mix that places student learning and student welfare at the center of all that is done, and at the same time
nurtures the teachers, parents and community for the demanding roles that each play in the education of our children.
I believe my record demonstrates that I can and do create this balance in the schools I am entrusted to lead.

First trailer: Denzel Washington in Flight
Robert Zemeckis' first live-action movie in a decade, Flight arrives in cinemas this November. Here's the first trailer…
Not since the release of Cast Away and What Lies Beneath has director Robert Zemeckis tackled a live action project. But with his planned Yellow Submarine performance capture movie hitting the buffers, he turned his attention to a new thriller, Flight. And it's now set for release at the end of the year.
The film stars Denzel Washington, as an airline captain whose actions save many lives in the midst of an emergency. But is he the hero that he's initially made out to be? Couldn't tell you, but there's a trailer that tells you a bit more about the film.
The film co-stars Don Cheadle, John Goodman in a suave shirt, and Bruce Greenwood. And here's that trailer…

Well that looks interesting, and I've always liked flying. I very much doubt I'll pay to see the movie though. I already know how he landed the plane, how media turn him into a hero, how the lawyers probe his past life and try to discredit him, how survivors families hate and adore him. I can also pretty much guess how the film ends too. Thanks Robert for putting out a trailer guaranteeing I'll stay home and not bother to walk intreagued into your new movie.
Yup Dark Jedi, I can guess the ending too.....
*Potential Spoiler*
He's actually in limbo and must atone for his actions. Come on Bob, prove me wrong.
it got my attention. unfortunately, with the frequency i go to the theatre, i end up choosing films that have a lot of spectacle to them--ones that gain the most from a big screen. human dramas i end up watching on a tv or even a laptop.
it looks a little dry but i am interested in seeing denzel NOT play a cop for once
I wonder if he'll meet up with all his passengers in a church whilst a fat guy live on some island?
At least the plane crash bits look entertaining.
of course, in fact the plane chipped the top of that very church in the trailer.. they'll all meet up in the church right after the crash, him not realizing that he was just the drunken fool who decided to flip a plane and got them all killed.
I thnk its great to have something a little different from the current crop of films.

Are you feeling like it's a waste of time and energy to continue job hunting during the holiday season? This is a common myth and perhaps a bit of an excuse to ease up on a job search that may be challenging in many ways. I know a number of job seekers, myself included, who landed that new job during the Holiday Season!
Why you should STAY IN THE GAME during the holiday season:
- The competition is less; candidate pool is smaller as many abandon the job search at this time.
- Since business is generally slower, hiring managers may have more time to speak with you or respond to your email.
- Project deadlines can change which could put you in a position for immediate hire, temporary / temp-to-perm or consulting work.
- Voluntary separation occurs in every company – retirement, relocation, medical, family needs, new employment. Networking now could put you in touch with hiring managers that may not yet be aware they will soon need to replace staff.
- Sometimes a new hire MUST take place in the current year or the opportunity to add staff is lost.
When you minimize search efforts, you lose momentum! If you wait until January to get that train moving again, it will be February/March before you start seeing results.
This is a wonderful time to reconnect with old acquaintances, former colleagues, friends, neighbors, family, community groups and attend industry group events. Use your LinkedIn network! Take this opportunity to reach out to those you haven't spoken to in quite some time and just let them know you're thinking of them and wish them well.
Helpful networking tips:
- Appreciation of family, business and community ties lead to a wide array of networking opportunities at this time of year. People tend to be more open and willing to help….with the RIGHT approach relatives, neighbors and friends could present the RIGHT opportunity.
- Practice and be prepared to tell others what you would like them to know about you in 30 seconds or less.
- Be prepared to respond with positive statements when asked about your job search….consider "It's been an interesting period and I am learning a lot….I'm spending more time with family and friends."
Although the Holidays are stressful whether employed or not, maintain a positive attitude…..positive people get referred from friends and family….positive
people get hired.
Count your Blessings! Helping others less fortunate will put your situation in perspective and provide a generous boost of "I feel good!" Your sense of purpose is renewed and you may meet other professionals. One or two hours a week is all you need to commit and many non-profit groups can certainly use your help at this time of year, especially those hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Experience gratitude:
- The Holidays are all about spending time with loved ones and not about buying expensive gifts. There are many free and inexpensive family activities too!
- Once the New Year rolls in, you will feel good that you remained PROACTIVE throughout the Holidays.
- Set reasonable goals for yourself – don't add to the Holiday stress…… maintain your search activity and make yourself a promise.
What can you do to stay active in your job search during the Holiday Season?
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with friends, family, laughter, gratitude……and a progressive job search!

The gift of health is something that I value so highly, and at the same time, too easily take for granted. Our work at Group Health is deeply gratifying because we can make the gift of health available to millions of people in our state who cannot take their health for granted. We make access to care affordable and possible for many families who deserve better than they've had. We promote better health for many families who are in our care. Wow, what a gift to be able to do that!

What does the Gift of Health mean to me? Well, it means that even though I am not directly involved in the difference that the group is making, I sitll feel that I am able to help benefit by being allowed to choose where the money that I dontate goes to. In a way it gives up all a chance to contribute while we are busy working at your day to day jobs.

The gift of health "is keeping your body, mind and soul in condition to actively and passionately live your life and let your loved ones live it with you. It is you being prepared and able to engage in the ever-so-unpredictable ups and downs in life, confident that you will not only survive, but thrive. It is a journey, with your ultimate destination being determined by your day to day habits."

For me the gift of health is personal and professional. It's about the humility of what good health really means and the realization that being in healthcare allows each of us to assure the gift of health to those entrusted to our care.
04. May, 2011 at 2:10 pm#
For me, the Gift of Health is about opportunity—that feeling that you are ready to take on the world. It's a sense of gratitude and pride that I can give back to my community.

The Gift of Health means living life to its fullest and having the tools and resources I need to manage all of the challenges and joys that life brings my way. It also means committing my resources and time to creating new opportunities for everyone to discover how to live their fullest and healthiest life – and I can do that in so many ways through Group Health and the Foundation.

We can and should do everything in our power to protect and improve our health and the health of those we love. Everything we hope for in our lives becomes more possible if we have health and well being. But, no matter what we do, health is not guaranteed. When we lose our health or watch someone we love suffer, well-being becomes the most precious, the most wished-for gift of all.
05. May, 2011 at 11:20 am#
To me, the Gift of Health means taking responsibility to care for ourselves, as well as others.
05. May, 2011 at 11:27 am#
The Gift of Health, to me, is priceless. Having seen my eldest son through a life-threatening illness recently (one where he was not expected to survive surgery) has given me a newfound appreciation for each day we are given. Life can be fragile. I now place a huge importance teaching others.. to nurture & nourish our relationships AND bodies..and make each & every day count.

For me, the phrase "Gift of Health" represents a bit of yin/yang—an intersection of seeming opposites. It is about recognizing "gifts of health" I have received, and also about making a commitment to give "gifts of health" to others. It could be about either one or the other, I suppose, but for me it's both.

Health; the good gift of it ~ is the foundation from which all becomes possible. Health's adversities remind us to shore up that foundation: A clarion call to stand together and support one another in whatever way we might…be it the gift of a warm word, precious sums of emotion or coin, a hand to pull us back…to good. Health, the good of it; is shared, and always, ever, possible.

A serious tragedy occurred in my life. Group Health providers and staff have been compassionate & helpful. Professionally, I am grateful to be a Group Health employee. Coworkers & managers saw my sadness and took extra steps to assist me with benefits, medical care and support groups. Spiritually, the kindness I received from everyone saved my life and renewed my faith. What a wonderful gift!

As I age, the gift of health is one I can give to myself by keeping my mind and my body fit. With all the tools and outstanding physicians that Group Health provides, I can accomplish this knowing that I will be strong for my family.

The Gift of Health to me means; the little kindnesses we can do for one another as we walk out our moments and our days. Walking in Love, Peace and Kindness, sharing a smile, a laugh and a tear. Love bears no judgements, sees no differences and is always Kind and Peacefull. These bring Health to All and that indeed is a good Gift ! .

I am extremely fortunate. The Gift of Health funds my two-year postdoctoral fellowship. It is a scientist's dream come true to have the freedom to pursue her strongest interests with the bulk of her time. The Gift of Health also funds projects that I am passionate about – making mental health interventions widely available!

Health is a gift, but also a choice. For me it means making the choice to be grateful for my health, and maintain it. It also means helping others to secure their health and work to maintain it. At GH I see this happening through education, research, care, and community service. I feel blessed to be a part of this in my own small way!

To let the persons having a tramatic health problem know they are not alone for those that have no close family or no one to visit them . To just let some know you care and will stand by them even if its to hold their hand and talk to them or let them talk to you . It can bring up their will to live and put a smile on your face and theirs even a little laughter helps ..

The Gift of Health is the peace of mind that my son is in good hands with his doctors at Group Health. We had seen all the specialists at other hospitals in the area and only when we became Group Health members were they able to find why he was vomiting nearly every time he ate. I am so grateful for our care team who pieced together a very complicated puzzle.

The word gift implies in one way that it is something to be cherished. In another way, the term gift reminds me how sometimes good health is out of one's control. For example, some debilitating illnesses have strongly genetic origins. These patients commonly remind me of the courage and grace with which they lead their lives. This is the real gift: a gentle reminder that each day is truly a…

The Gift of Health is a way for me to remember my dear friend, Kip Newquist, who was a Group Health architect. He died at age 40 from AIDS. His memory reminds me to take care of myself and not take health or life for granted. I remember his doctor coming to the house and the home health nurses managing his care with compassion and looking after us, his family/care team, too.

A gift has value to the giver as well as the receiver.True giving is not counting the cost of the gift before giving it.A gift is given freely without reservation, stipulation,or price tag.Time is the one such gift.The gift of health is a gift of time; time to live,time to love,time to learn,time to be.GHC gave me the one thing I could not give to myself; time.You can get more money;not more time.

With a mother who has advanced MS and has become completely dependent on others for every aspect of her physical needs, the gift of health to me is invaluable. I try to appreciate every day that I am fully able-bodied and without illness. I become more acutely aware of how much I treasure my good health any time I have a cold or flu. I know good health can be temporary, so I'm trying to keep it!

The gift of health is more appreciated today than ever before. I have a 2 year old son, keeping myself healthy is setting a good example for him and helping us live our lives to the fullest. I know I will be around to care for my son, to see his growth and share in his joys. The gift of life means I am free to share with others my story to help them achieve goals, otherwise taken for granted.

State television said four armed attackers "attempted to storm" the embassy, using automatic rifles and hand grenades. Syrian security guards attacked the gunmen, killing three and wounding a fourth, TV said.The attackers came in two cars and parked one that was rigged with explosives in front of the embassy but did not blow it up, state-run TV reported. Explosives experts dismantled the bomb, it said.
But a witness told The Associated Press that two gunmen drove up in front of the embassy, got out of their car, shot at the Syrian sentries at the building's entrance, and then detonated explosives in the car.The witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said the security personnel fired back, and security forces rushed to the scene.Television showed a delivery van loaded with pipe bombs strapped to large propane gas canisters outside the embassy. Had the bombs detonated, the explosions could have caused massive damage.The video also showed the charred remains of a smaller car parked several feet behind the van.
I agree, not much of a force... unless they were hoping/counting on the Syrian security forces to stand aside.... which, frankly, I am surprised that they stood their ground.
Iranians came at the embassy in the tens of thousands. Marine contingent was about 20 guys, as I recall from some recent reading.
Is there some magic ratio of attacker-to-defender that Marine guards are/were instructed to take into account when deciding whether to fight back?
Yeah, one each President Carter on the defender side equates to "don't fight back".
Good thing we're all such nonpartisan hang-together type Americans that four guys willing to kill themselves at election time can't further fragment our culture into warring splinters.
I think Shark is on the right track. I think that even more than Syria hates the US, they fear it.
Muslims killing muslims to protect Americans. Nahhh, there's no way the terrorist factions can make any political hay out of that. No good for recruiting, even with the international press coverage
Unfortunately, nobody fears the US anymore. Nobody.
Then they should all have a chat with Saddam Hussein, or Mullah Omar. Or Gadhaffi. Or maybe Gulbuddin Hikmatyar could use your counsel.
Ahmednijad, Kim-Jong, Musharraf, Hizbullah, OBL & Chavez are laughing their collective asses off

Recently, my PC was infected with something new. Or at least new to me. What it does is it hides my Microsoft Word documents and makes copies of them, this time as an executable file – an application. Have you encountered this problem too? Don't worry, you're not alone. And you are in luck, I managed to get rid of the problem and I'm about to share with you the steps I did. The culprit here is a file named Winece.exe and it hides on your Windows folder. To make this short and sweet, here are the steps on how you can get rid of the problem – easily.
First, you need to make sure that the program is not running. To do this go fire up your Task Manager by pressing:
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Then clicking on the Process tab. Look for the Winece.exe program and right click on it and selecting End Process. After making sure that the program is not running, its time to remove the file itself.
Do a quick search on your Windows folder for a file named Winece.exe and permanently erase it by pressing:
Shift + Delete
You're almost done. The next step is to stop it f rom running whenever you start your PC. You might be wondering why you need to do this when you've already deleted the Winece.exe file. Well, this is to make sure that in case your PC gets infected again with the worm, it won't start automatically. To do this, go to Start > Run then type "msconfig" without the quotes, click on the Startup tab, then uncheck the box next to Winece.
After clicking on OK, restart your PC. Hopefully this problem is gone. Hope this quick Winece.exe manual removal guide helped you out my friend. Oh by the way, this problem managed to get to my PC through an infected USB so you might want to invest on protection.

Temperature ManagementThere's a saying in foodservice: "Keep cold foods cold, and keep hot foods hot."
Keeping Cold Foods ColdKeeping cold foods cold means storing them at temperatures between 40°F, which is where normal refrigeration kicks in, down to about 0°F, which is where you'd want your freezer to be. Bacteria still multiply at cold temperatures, they just do it a lot more slowly.
At freezing temperatures, bacterial growth slows to nearly nil. Freezing doesn't kill them, though — all it does is make them cold. Once you thaw that food, watch out! Any bacteria that were there before freezing will just warm up and start multiplying again — with a vengeance.
Food Temperature Danger ZoneYou see, bacteria thrive between 41°F and 140°F, a range of temperatures that's known as the Temperature Danger Zone. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's the same temperature range that humans thrive in.
Not only that, but our bodies' natural temperature of 98.6°F is so right smack in the middle of that Danger Zone, it's not even funny. Bacteria can't wait to get inside of us. Once they make it to our intestines, it's like a bacteria Mardi Gras.
To minimize this danger, perishable food shouldn't be allowed to spend more than an hour in the Food Temperature Danger Zone — cumulatively. Any longer than that and it should either be cooked or thrown away.
Here's a table showing the key temperatures of the Temperature Danger Zone.
Keeping Hot Foods HotKeeping hot foods hot presents other challenges. Bacterial growth slows down once again at temperatures hotter than 140°F, so hot foods that are being served on a buffet, for example, must be kept hotter than that at all times.
Keep in mind that 140°F doesn't kill bacteria — it only stops them from multiplying. If you actually want to kill bacteria, you've got to heat them up to at least 165°F. The same rule applies to cooked food that should happen to drop below 140°F — you get an hour, total. After that, you either need to heat it up to 165°F again or throw it away. And by the way, you can only reheat it once. If it drops below 140°F a second time, you need to toss it.
Time: It Waits for No One!Time works hand in hand with temperature in encouraging the growth of bacteria. Let's say you buy a package of uncooked chicken breasts. Maybe it's in your shopping cart for 15 minutes while you shop, then it's in your car for another 15 minutes while you drive home. So before you even get that chicken home, bacteria have had a full 30 minutes to run rampant.
Then later they might spend another 15 minutes on your counter while you prep them, bringing the cumulative total to 45 minutes already. As you can see, you really don't have much wiggle room.
MoistureLike all living organisms, bacteria need water to survive. Foods high in moisture like meats, poultry, seafoods and dairy products, as well as fruits and vegetables, are prime breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Low-moisture foods, including dried grains and legumes such as rice or beans, will typically keep for a very long time without spoiling or harboring bacteria.
Another aspect of the moisture factor is that through a process called osmosis, sugar and salt actually suck the moisture out of bacteria, effectively killing them by dehydration. As a result, a high salt and/or sugar content will tend to preserve foods — which is why salt and sugar are used in brining and curing of meats.

---- — PATRIOTS (7-3) vs. JETS (4-6)
Thursday, 8:25 p.m., at MetLife Stadium East Rutherford, N.J.
TV: Ch. 7 (Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Michelle Tafoya
Radio: 98.5 FM The Sports Hub (Gil Santos and Scott Zolak)
The series: Patriots lead 54-52-1; Each team has swept the season series 14 times, with the Pats going for No. 15. Previous meeting: Patriots 29, Jets 26 in overtime; October 21, 2012, at Gillette Stadium, Foxboro
Las Vegas line: Patriots -6.5; Over-under total: 48
Patriots Jets
7-3 Record 4-6
1st, AFC East Standings Tie 2nd, AFC East
431.9 (1) Offense 301.3 (30)
142.9 (5) Rushing 108.6 (15)
289.0 (4) Passing 192.7 (29)
338.7 (28) Defense 342.0 (14)
99.0 (10) Rushing 141.9 (30)
289.7 (30) Passing 200.1 (4)
+20 Turnover margin +1
18 – Straight wins in the second-half of the season by the Patriots, who last dropped a second-half of the year game in the 2009 season finale vs. Houston, on Jan. 3, 2010.
51 – Over that 18-game win streak, the Patriots have forced an amazing 51 turnovers. Even more impressive is the fact that in those 18 wins, New England has only turned it over four times.
42,955 – Tom Brady's career passing yardage. With 85 more passing yards in this one, he'll blow past for San Diego great Dan Fouts.
9 – Mark Sanchez fumbles this fall, four of which were lost. The New England Patriots have 8 fumbles as a team this fall, four which they have lost. In all the Jets have fumbled the football 24 times.
.857 – Tim Tebow's completion percentage this season. He is 6 for 7 for 39 yards with a 5.57 yards per attempt ratio.
637 – Plays run by the Jets' offense this year, compared to the Patriots, who have run 741 plays on offense this year.
Keys to a Patriots victory
1. Be on the Mark – Keep the ball in Mark Sanchez' hands and sooner or later, he will deliver defeat to the Jets. Don't let Shonn Greene or Joe McKnight beat you. Be sure to stifle the run and make Sanchez beat you.
2. Instead of Gronk – Time to run the football with Stevan Ridley. Hopefully, a Logan Mankins or Shane Vereen can move the football down the field, hopefully keeping the Jets out of blitz packages that might be exotic of confusing.
3. Another Brady gem – Look, I've said it before, Tom Brady is the offensive MVP of this conference in 2012. He has his offense running at such high efficiency, keep it up. And don't let the Mrs. Have the baby this week.
Hector Longo's prediction: Jets 31, Patriots 30 (7-3 straight up; 3-7 vs. the spread)
Analysis: Red-zone woes and the turnover battle will cost the Pats in the short week, not to mention the injury bug. The Jets are playing for their season. One more loss and it's over. Too much to overcome on the road, Pats put up a great battle and fall.

Sure, it would be my pleasure.
The first thing you should do is slow down. Very little time is saved if you drive 90mph instead of 60mph. What you do gain is the chance that you may kill yourself or someone else when you lose control of your car. You also risk some serious tickets and your insurance company dropping you.
Remember, speed limits have a purpose and are not just suggestions.
Next, I would use the blinker that came with the car, and use them when you are supposed to. Use them when turning or changing lanes.
Let's talk about changing lanes. When changing lanes, put on your blinker BEFORE and not after you start changing lanes. DO NOT ASSUME that since you have your blinker on that you can just cut someone off. Basically, you are asking permission to change lanes and you must wait until it is safe to do so.
Next, I would stop for school busses.
Why? It's the law. It involves children and the consequences can be serious.
If the school bus is using its yellow warning lights, it does not mean you push the gas pedal to the floor. It means prepare to stop. Speaking of stopping, it's obvious you stop if you are going in the same direction as the bus.
If you are going the opposite way, you must stop if there is no physical median. If there is a physical median, you do not have to stop, but common sense says to still use due regard and to look for kids darting across the road.
I hope these suggestions make you a better driver.
Good Luck.
Officer Larry Jacobs is the Crime Prevention Officer for the Sandy Springs Police Department. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
