John Leon Sculptures / Banjoman / Music Furniture
Bronze. Height 26 inches.
This piece was inspired by John Hartford, who played banjo, sang, and clog-danced, and managed to look and sound dignified, all at the same time. My challenge was to capture all those disparate qualities in a unified piece. The result was a kind of Classical Greek/ cubist/ art-deco combination that looks pretty noble. I like depicting Bluegrass music as noble.

Bill O'Brien is staying at Penn State after Eagles, Browns interviews
It was a brief flirtation, but Bill O'Brien has told Penn State that he is staying after he interviewed with the Eagles and Browns, a source close to the situation said Thursday night.
O'Brien met with the Eagles on Thursday after interviewing with the Browns earlier this week, the source said. Whether he seriously considered leaving State College or not, O'Brien was likely able to gain leverage at Penn State.
There is a buyout clause in O'Brien's contract worth $9.2 million - some reports have said the figure is twice as high - if O'Brien were to leave. According to SI.com, Penn State was making a "massive push" to keep the 43-year-old coach from returning to the NFL after reports surfaced that he had met with the Browns.
"I'm not a one-and-done guy," O'Brien told the Harrisburg Patriot-News. "I made a commitment to these players at Penn State, and that's what I am going to do. I'm not going to cut and run after one year, that's for sure."
Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner interviewed O'Brien, an NFL source said. The Eagles' three-man search party - owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, and team president Don Smolenski - made their pitch to O'Brien after the Browns met with him.
The interviews took place at Martha's Vineyard while O'Brien was on vacation, according to reports.
The Eagles and Browns are competing for several of the same head coaching candidates. With O'Brien out of the picture, they will set their sights on Oregon coach Chip Kelly. Both teams have interviews scheduled with Kelly after Thursday's Fiesta Bowl.
The Browns and Bills are scheduled to meet with Kelly Friday. The Eagles are expected to sit down with the 49-year-old coach this weekend.
With Kelly high on their lists, the Eagles and Browns could be headed for a showdown that would pit Lurie and Roseman against their former colleague Banner.
The Eagles group left Atlanta on Thursday after interviewing Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and special-teams coordinator Keith Armstrong.
Neither Nolan nor Armstrong is considered to be among the Eagles' top choices.
The Eagles were not in Glendale, Ariz., for the Fiesta Bowl, despite a report that said they were, a team spokesman said. Banner was, according to several reports.
He already has interviewed Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, recently fired Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, and Syracuse coach Doug Marrone, according to reports.
But Kelly and O'Brien were the top targets for the Eagles and Browns, league sources have said. Both teams could be poised to pounce immediately. Each one has satisfied the NFL's Rooney Rule by interviewing minority candidates - Armstrong for the Eagles and Horton for the Browns.
Kelly, 49, is expected to make his decision sooner rather than later because of college recruiting.
The Eagles confirmed that they will interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday.
McCoy is expected to interview with the Cardinals and Bills on Saturday before meeting with the Eagles and Bears on Sunday. Despite having a jump start on most other NFL assistants who are in the playoffs because of Denver's bye, McCoy said he wasn't penciling himself in for a promotion.
"Until you get that job, don't listen to anybody," McCoy told reporters. "Seriously. Everyone had me penciled in going to Miami last year, and it was a done deal, 'Don't get on a flight, it's your job,' and this and that."
McCoy, 40, interviewed with the Dolphins a year ago, but Joe Philbin got the job. As much as he said he wants to become a head coach, McCoy said he wouldn't accept just any offer.
"If you're going into a new situation, you've got to make sure that it's the right one," he said. "It's not about just taking any job. That's not my goal."
McCoy has had success with a variety of quarterbacks. Jake Delhomme became a Pro Bowler during McCoy's time as the quarterbacks coach in Carolina. When he moved to Denver, he had Kyle Orton playing above his capabilities. The same held true last season when, as offensive coordinator, he devised an offense that catered to the mobile Tim Tebow.
Peyton Manning deserves the lion's share of credit for the Broncos' success this season, but he said Wednesday that McCoy deserved a chance to be a head coach.
"I think he's paid his dues," Manning said. "Mike's a good leader."

Company fixed deposits in India are often a favourite amongst investors who are risk averse and want to take an exposure to fixed income instruments and are not satisfied with bank fixed deposits. While this is fine, there are certain risks to be aware of and if adequate research is done before investing, company FDs can offer you good returns.
Let us take a quick look at what these are and what risks to be aware of.
What are company fixed deposits ?
In a manner similar to fixed deposits offered by banks, companies also offer you to deposit money with them. Such deposits are called company deposits or CDs. Needless to say, they are offered at a particular rate of interest and for a fixed number of years (tenor).
The question you might ask is why would a company offer a company FD ? The answer is that because it needs money from investors like you and me. The money so collected can be used for the company's expansion. The company might use it to grow itself with an eye of becoming a bigger and better company.
It could also need the money to clear off debt that it has. The purposes could be many but the key principle to note is that in case the company wants to raise money, it can come and offer you an attractive company FD.
What decides the interest rates ?
As with most things, the interest rates offered by companies depends on two main factors. Note that there are a host of other reasons as well but these are the main ones.
The first is the urgency with which the firm needs the money from you. The more urgent it is, higher is the interest rate. That is because, in its desperate attempt to raise cash, the company will be willing to pay a higher interest rate than what competing firms are paying.
The second reason is the time frame for which the firm wants the money from you. The longer the time frame, the higher is the rate of interest.
Default risk that company deposits carry
Here is where you need to keep your head grounded a bit as company deposits carry many risks.
The most important risk is default risk. This means that once you make a deposit with a company, it may default on its promise to return you the capital along with interest. Once that happens. recovery of money is a pain.
Remember that company deposits are not secured so in case of a default risk, you do not get the advantage of recovering your money first – it is the secured creditors who get that option first. And of course, you can go to the court demanding your right but we all know how the law of the land proceeds in our country.
If you for a moment compare the default risk with bank fixed deposits, then note that banks offer a Rs 1 lakh security per branch, company FDs do not carry such guarantees.
How to choose a company FD?
Make sure you do enough research on the following points before you go for a company FDs.
Check credit rating
CRISIL and ICRA provide credit ratings for companies. Being an independent research, you can bank on them to some degree. Higher the credit rating of the firm, less is the risk you carry.
Avoid low rated companies and small firms that can vanish overnight. Go for high rated companies that have strong fundamentals. Also remember that not all firms can accept deposits from investors. Only those companies registered with the Company Act 1956 can do so.
Management credibility
As with stock investments, go with a company whose management is flawless, trustworthy and ethical. If the management is doubtful, do not invest even if the interest rate is higher.
I would rather go with a bigger firm like ICICI Bank with 8% rate of interest than with Dubious Ltd with 15%.
I have noted that a lot of my investors put a lot of their money in single companies. If this company were to go bust, your personal net worth would be eroded. So make sure you diversify across many companies. Do not put more than 10% – 12% in one firm at a time.
Better still, make sure you diversify across different investment avenues in the fixed income category. Fixed deposits cannot be the only products you go for.
Other factors to consider is that one should pick a tenure which is not too long. Over a period of 5 years, the fate of a company can swing like a pendulum. The question is, do you want to take that risk ? True, a large tenure carries a higher interest rate but ask yourself whether you have the ability to do periodic reviews of the fundamentals of the company. If not, opt for a smaller tenure so that you are safer.
Go for healthy sectors which are stable and not volatile. If you pick up a sector that is notorious for stability, your money will be at risk all the times.
Lastly, do not go with unknown companies just because they offer a higher rate of return but carry more risk. Don't be greedy. It is better to be safe than sorry.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world's first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.
Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio's own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.
In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world's toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio's flagship timepiece product.
Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

by Daniel Lee, SLA Board of Directors
SLA isn't yet Future Ready, so I am doing something about it. This site is the first live website to use SLA's new web hosting service and newly designed theme for WordPress!
For many years, our unit websites have been disparate in content, design, and functionality. Some sites are coded "old school" with plain HTML, some use ColdFusion, some ASP or PHP, and some are externally hosted. They can't effectively exchange data with Headquarters (or each other) and, to be honest, many have seen better days. At first glance, you would hardly know they were units of the same organization!
Operation Vitality*
SLA will revitalize its website community as "Operation Vitality" swings into high gear this year.
"Operation Vitality" has five objectives:
- Provide a stable and modern website hosting service to all chapters, divisions, and caucuses;
- Ensure the service is affordable and cost effective for the Association;
- Design a brand-compliant template for all units to use;
- Promote a common content management system we can all use, understand and build upon; and
- Rebuild the community for SLA's webmasters.
I ran for the Board of Directors on a Leadership, Volunteers and Technology platform and "Operation Vitality" sits at the intersection of these three themes. This will be my main focus during my last year on the Board.
New Hosting Service
The SLA staff has made tremendous strides towards establishing a new web hosting service for the units and 2011 will be the year we convert to a common content management system and promote a common look and feel.
- SLA has partnered with award-winning web host provider HostGator;
- WordPress will be promoted as the content management system of choice; and
- A professional WordPress theme has been designed specifically for SLA units and will be included as part of a new web hosting service.
There will be a cost for the new service, $40 per year, which includes a fully functioning WordPress install with the SLA Theme, 24/7 technical support provided by HostGator, email accounts, MySQL databases, FTP Accounts, an easy to use and flexible Control Panel, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. For the real web gurus out there, advanced features will also include CGI, Ruby on Rails, Perl, Python, Curl, CPAN, GD Library, Image Magick, SSH Access and Cron Job Scheduling.
The Plan
In late 2010 a set of units who self-identified as early adopters started using the new service. Based on the feedback from this pilot, the service and the WordPress theme will be adjusted and rolled out to the whole Association in early 2011. The goal is to have all SLA units who are currently hosted by SLA converted to the new service by December 2011. Units who have pursued their own hosting are encouraged to rejoin.
The Team
A large project like "Operation Vitality" requires the energy of a dedicated and talented group of people. Volunteer "Super Admins" and staff members will be available to answer WordPress-related questions and provide guidance to units as they join the new service:
- Amy Buckland
- Michelle Dollinger
- Nicole Engard
- Britta Jessen Charbonneau
- Daniel Lee
- Kendra Levine
- Heather Ritchie
- Margaret Smith
- Linda Broussard (SLA's Chief Administrative Officer)
- Jeff Leach (SLA's Director, Marketing)
- Quan O. Logan (SLA's Chief Technology Officer)
Are You Ready?
Today is the official launch of this project at Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. I will present details of the new service (along with a live demo of some of its features) to SLA's leadership and will also invite units to join the second round of early adopters.
I am very excited to see what web-based innovations the association will realize when we are all finally rowing in the same direction. If your unit is ready to make the switch, or if you have any questions or comments, contact me.

* I chose "Operation Vitality" as the nickname/codename for this project because I wanted to inject a "a healthy capacity for vigorous activity" into our webmaster community and because I was doing things slightly under the radar to build support from the ground up.

Eating flesh doesn't sound like an enjoyable job. But the Museum has a team of workers behind the scenes who munch on animal carcasses all day and never complain. That's because they're flesh-eating beetles.
The beetles are currently eating a fish.
You may have to wait a few seconds for the beetlecam to load.
Can't see the beetlecam? You need a web browser with a Windows Media compatible video player plugin to watch it, for example, Internet Explorer.
The beetles will tuck into about 4kg of flesh a week.

Download and run hijack this with your PC booted up normally, and then post the log here. I think it's probably more likely a virus/malware issue than something hardware but we'll see.

Tried that Ripper. Downloaded and ran hijack this,the following error message occured while running the program....For some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file. "If any hijacked domains are in this file, hijack this may not be able to fix this."

Your computer may be encountering a blue screen when you shut down your machine. The default action after encountering a blue screen is for your system to restart. As a first step try visiting your computer manufacturer's website to find the support/download section. Then download and install the latest available drivers for your computer's hardware.

I had a similar problem with my computer rebooting all the time.It was caused by a program I had installed on it.I had to uninstall each program to see which one was causing the problem.It turned out to be the Nero program causing it.After I re-installed Nero and did an update my problem went away.

Unable to do a system restore as one of the kids decided to recoop some space on the external hard drive I use for backing up purposes, to save some computer games he downloaded. Unfortunatley my system backup was one of the items he got rid of.
At this stage I think I will just have to reformat and start all over again. Thanks for all the inputs much appreciated

U.S. News Rankings
Ranking score and category | |||||
Allegheny College is a private institution that was founded in 1815. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 2,123, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 565 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Allegheny College's ranking in the 2013 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 82. Its tuition and fees are $37,610 (2012-13).
Allegheny College is a liberal arts school located in Meadville, near Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh. Students at Allegheny can choose from more than 30 majors, and they must complete a senior project before they graduate. This capstone project is not a standard essay, but rather a significant piece of independent research or creative work that the students present to their faculty and classmates. Outside the classroom, students can join more than 100 clubs, pledge with about 10 Greek-letter organizations, or try out for the Allegheny Gators varsity sports teams, which compete in the NCAA Division III North Coast Athletic Conference. Notable Allegheny alumni include Paul Siple, an Antarctica explorer who developed the wind-chill index factor. William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, attended Allegheny College in the 1800s, but legend has it that he and his roommate were expelled for shoving a cow into the school's bell tower.
School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school): | |
One of Loren Pope's 40 Colleges That Change Lives, Allegheny is the premier college in the country for students with 'Unusual Combinations' of interests and talents. Students develop combinations of majors and minors in areas that may, at first glance, seem unrelated: biology and economics; political science and music; history and psychology. There is an abiding passion for learning and life, a spirit of camaraderie, and shared inquiry that spans individuals as well as areas of study. Neuroscience majors play in the Civic Symphony and build houses on Alternative Spring Break. Students prepare for law school while playing basketball and interning in Washington, D.C. Building on a combination of academic disciplines and passions, every student completes a comprehensive Senior Project under the guidance of a faculty advisor in his or her major field. This significant piece of original scholarly work has a creative, analytical or experimental focus and the experience culminates with an oral defense in front of faculty experts and mentors. The project demonstrates the skills most prized by employers and graduate schools: the ability to complete a major assignment, to work independently, to analyze and synthesize information and to write and speak persuasively. Our students are not only encouraged to explore all of their interests, but exploring academic disciplines from multiple perspectives leads them to extraordinary outcomes. Biochemistry majors highlight their skills learned in communication arts to start marketing careers at the Environmental Protection Agency. English majors collaborate with our pre-health advisors and enjoy acceptance rates to graduate and medical schools between 80-100%-twice the national average. Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, government, medicine, education and community service that the future belongs to individuals who are innovators, inventors, big picture thinkers, those who think both analytically and creatively. It is this preparation for the global marketplace-and for life-that Allegheny, with its emphasis on "Unusual Combinations," is nationally known for providing. |

It is hard to imagine the scene of a bad car accident, natural disaster or medical crisis at home without an ambulance in the picture. Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics have become a vital part of both our public safety and health care systems. Responding to emergencies, administering care and saving lives is exciting. It also is difficult and stressful. But this demanding profession is always in demand, especially in cities and private ambulance services. Volunteer State Community College offers training for entry-level EMTs as well as paramedics.
Volunteer State Community College offers both entry-level and advanced training for emergency responders. Students also have the option of continuing their studies and earning an Associate's of Applied Science degree.
Emergency Medical Technician - Basic
The Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (IV) technical certificate program is the required course of studies designed to prepare students for entry-level positions as professional medical care providers in a pre-hospital setting such as an ambulance service.
The EMT-Basic technical certificate program involves four courses completed in one semester. These are prerequisite courses for persons considering entry into the Paramedic Technical Certificate and the A.A.S. Degree programs.
- Basic emergency medical service theories
- EMS clinical practice
- Anatomy and physiology for pre-hospital providers
- Introduction to emergency pharmacology
The EMT-Basic (IV) duties include the recognition, assessment, and basic management of medical, trauma, and environmental emergencies under the direction of on or off-line medical control. The courses follow the most current U.S. Department of Transportation National Standard Curriculum. Students who successfully complete the course work and clinical components of the program are eligible for the Tennessee Initial EMT-Basic Licensing Examination and the EMT-IV Extended Skills Licensing Examination.
Courses are offered at several off-campus locations that may include Nashville and Clarksville. Students enrolled must successfully complete all didactic and clinical components of the program to be eligible to take professional licensing examinations.
EMT-Basic Enrollment Requirements
The EMT-Basic Certificate is available to all students who are at least 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or GED. Students should be physically able to perform heavy lifting or strenuous activity for extended periods of time and must demonstrate the ability to perform these tasks during classroom and clinical periods. Up to 16 students are accepted into each section of the course each semester offered.
Applicants to the entry-level program must have a high school diploma or GED and be able to handle heavy lifting and strenuous activity. Applicants must also pass a background check, see Student Background Check below for details.
Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic
The Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic technical certificate program is designed to prepare competent entry level graduates in emergency medical care to serve in emergency care settings such as an ambulance service. Using the most current U.S. Department of Transportation National Standard Curriculum, discussions include the application of advanced patient assessment, problem recognition, and advanced treatment modalities for medical, trauma, and environmental emergencies. Clinical exposures in local hospitals assure appropriate experience in dealing with emergencies for all age groups including pediatrics and geriatrics.
The Paramedic program involves 47 course hours and takes three concurrent semesters (approximately 1 full year) after completion of the basic EM coursework. The summer term includes 12 credit hours of clinical training in the field
Those considering the Paramedic Technical Certificate program must take all the EMT-Basic courses. Students are admitted to the Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic technical certificate program through a competitive selection process. The program is not open to general enrollment, and applicants must have an EMT-Basic license in Tennessee. Individuals wishing to be selected must complete the following application process:
- Application to the College submitted by April 30
- Application to the Paramedic Program by March 31
- ACT/SAT scores submitted (students under 21 years of age) or take the College Placement Examination (Compass)
- Basic EMT Knowledge Examination (see Paramedic Applicant Letter for important dates)
- Psychological Profile (see Paramedic Applicant Letter for important dates)
- Personal Interview
- Applicants must also pass a background check, see Student Background Check below for details.
Student Background Check
Effective September 1, 2005, students seeking enrollment in designated Allied Health programs requiring participation in clinical training in area hospitals and related clinics/agencies must provide evidence of a passing score on a background check prior to official acceptance/enrollment into the respective program. Either the failure to provide the required background check results by the due date established or the receipt of anything other than a passing score on the background check will make a student ineligible for enrollment in the respective program. Background checks are performed at the student's expense. Find more detailed information about Student Background Checks.

Jenkins notched six goals to lead Callaway to a 10-0 victory over visiting B.E.S.T. Academy in a Region 5-AAAA game.
The Cavaliers (7-1 overall) moved to 4-0 in the region.
Jenkins is one of the Cavaliers' leading scorers, and he played the part on Tuesday.
"I just want to score every time I get out there," Jenkins said. "Today, I was playing better. I don't really know why. I was in the zone."
It took the Cavaliers awhile to get going, but once they started scoring, they didn't stop.
"The first 20 minutes of the game was kind of rough," Callaway coach Jake Hembree said. "We couldn't move the ball that well. Once we settled down and focused, we were able to move the ball at will and just control the game with no problem."
The game ended when Noah Hill scored with a little more than four minutes remaining, bringing the mercy rule into play.
"That's our freshman, Noah Hill. He's tried, and tried and tried (to score)," Hembree said. "It was good to end on a good note like that."
Also scoring goals for Callaway were Chase Drake, Cameron Spinks and Tyler Neese.
Callaway now turns its attention to Friday's home showdown against cross-town rival Troup.
The girls' teams will play at 5:30 p.m., with the boys' game to follow at 7:30 p.m.
"We have to go to work. We've got Troup Friday," Hembree said. "But I'm proud of our guys. We're getting there."

Parkway School Board Moves Forward on Drug-Sniffing Dogs
Board officials heard a report on the plan to conduct the searches twice a semester.
Parkway officials are moving toward plans to bring drug-sniffing dogs to the district's high schools.
The Parkway School Board heard details of the plan at the district's high schools in January at a board meeting Wednesday night. Parkway Deputy Superintendent Desi Kirchhofer presented the board with a report and explained that the program is an addition to the many safety and security measures the district already employs.
"This isn't a stand alone, it's packaged with a lot of measures that we use to keep our schools and safe drugs free," Kirchhofer said.
The searches would be coordinated by the principals at the district's five high schools and conducted twice a semester by the St. Louis County Police. Principals can choose to have the canines search school hallways or the student parking lot while students themselves remain in classrooms.
"Dogs will never search or sniff a student specifically, they will just sniff the air," said Coordinator of Student Discipline Michael Barolak, who also helped present the report.
If a dog "alerts" to a scent, then the school administrator and resource officer will have probable cause to conduct a more thorough investigation. At that point, the district will follow the guidelines and policies it already has in place regarding searches of student belongings.
The goal is to have the drug-sniffing dogs in schools next semester, but the board took no formal action on the matter at Wednesday's meeting. The next step will be Superintendent Marty to draft a letter to parents in the district explaining the program.
"We have already shared it with a lot of our stakeholders," Barloak said. "A lot of people think it's a positive step forward."
The true effectiveness of the program might not be in its ability to actually find drugs, according to Barolak and Kirchhofer. After Board President Beth Feldman pointed out that most students don't even use their lockers at Parkway, Barolak said the presence of the dogs alone could have an impact.
"The parking lot searches might make the students think twice about bringing drugs to school if they see the dogs in the parking lot," he said.
Kirchhofer added that the searches actually provide an excuse for students under peer pressure as well, who can use the threat of being discovered as a cover for not wanting to use drugs.
In speaking with the county police officers who conduct the K-9 searches, Barolak said that only 10 percent of the time do the dogs even detect a scent. Even then, 90 percent of the time it's just a trace smell with no actually substances found.
The dogs also do not detect alcohol or prescription drugs, the latter of which is becoming increasingly abused by teenagers. Kirchhofer said the district is educating parents about the potential for painkillers and other prescriptions to be abused as well as helping sponsor events for disposing of pills safely.
Overall, the pair of school officials said they hope the message it brings is to show parents, students and the community that Parkway takes fighting the abuse of drugs and alcohol among teens as a serious issue.

We cannot just leave this problem up to school administrators and law enforcement. Parents have access to home drug test kits to detect for common drugs of abuse like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, benzos, and barbiturates. Kids begin experimenting with pills because they are free, and typically unlocked at home. They may even attend so called farming or pharming parties. That's where kids each bring pills, and throw them into a bowl. Then they all reach in and experiment. Teen addicts in treatment tell myteensavers that they began using heroin after a long time of abusing prescription drugs. Thanks for this article.

The Global Sandwich Shop: Subway
One morning, on my way to work in Midtown Manhattan, a tourist asked me, "Do you know where the nearest subway is?" Thinking I was being a good samaritan, I directed him to the nearest sandwich shop and not the Metropolitan Transportation Authority trains. (My bad, I know.)
Two things, though. First, I hadn't had my morning coffee, so my drowsy confusion is somewhat understandable. And second, Subway is in over 100 countries and opening their 38,000th (!) store in early November. So can you really blame me for thinking (in my early morning haze), "Hey, this tourist-gentleman, must be looking for a breakfast sandwich—because yeah, Subway serves those now!"
Nevertheless, congratulations to Subway! From a small sandwich shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut launched by a 17-year old with a $1000 loan, to one of the largest restaurant chains in the world. Subway has embraced and been embraced by different countries and cultures the world over.
So if you've never had a Subway sandwich in another country. Remember this, just because you've experienced the green and yellow logo in your own country, doesn't mean you won't be met by sandwich surprises like Halal subs in the Middle East or Paneer Tika sammies in India. After all, they serve approximately 2.6 billion sandwiches a year and have over 37 million possibilities. I'm not a big math person, but I'm guessing that means you could eat years of sandwiches without ever having the same one twice!

Happy Heart = Healthy Heart
It used to be that eating a poor diet affected our all around health, but now research shows that living life unhappy can affect our hearts as well "If you're not happy with your job, family, sex life, or self, it can make your heart hurt–literally. In a long-term study of British government workers, those with lower levels of satisfaction racked up higher rates of heart disease…" an excerpt in the Good Health section of Good Housekeeping- February 2012. "You don't need to be diagnosed with depression or anxiety, or have super high stress for there to be an impact--just a lack of joy in key areas of your life could do it." In this same study they also found that taking "big" steps toward improving these areas of our lives can greatly improve our health.
Although science is making breakthroughs in the how-to's of improving our all around health, the Bible, God's written word has for thousands of years contained such nuggets of truth. For example, let's look at 3 versions of a verse found in the book of Proverbs chapter 22 and verse 17, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a persons strength" New Living Translation. "A cheerful disposition is good for your health, gloom and doom leave you bone tired" Message. "A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones." New King James Version.
There are times in life when we have the power and ability to change our circumstances and make improvements in our lives. But there are also times when no matter what we do or where we are in life we have chosen to believe that we are just not happy, many times this is the result of the "I don't have" mindset. For many of us we say and think, "If I could only have this…" or "If that person would change, THEN my life would be happier" But the truth is happiness does not and never will come from people or from obtaining money or things, "Don't love money, be satisfied (content and happy) with what you have (now, today) for God has said, 'I will never fail you, I will never abandon you" Hebrews 13:5 NLT.
It was only a few years ago that I finally, after many years of being unsatisfied and unhappy with what I "didn't" have, did I learn that I had my focus on the wrong things. Instead of being thankful to God and content with all of the wonderful and good things in my life, I found myself in a state of always needing more which only led to stress. I was 47 when I had my wake-up call. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and when I got up I felt very light-headed and my heart was acting abnormal. My heart rate dropped and I felt as though I was going to pass out, so I knew to lay on the floor and as I did I called out to my husband who was in the kitchen to call 911. It wasn't until approximately 5 months later, due to another heart issue did the doctors in the ER finally find out what was really going on, this time my heart was racing at a pace of 178 beats per minute, once they were able to regulate it, one of the doctors referred me to one of the best heart physicians of whom specializes in the electrical function of the heart (it was not heart disease). He was an answer to our prayers and was able, by the power and grace of God fix my heart.
In my personal opinion (and what I believe the Lord revealed to me) all of this occurred as a result of stress compounded by worry, fear, not being happy which led me to an unhealthy lifestyle ( lack of regular exercise and poor eating habits). Once I made my adjustment and began to trust the Lord for all of my needs I began to "change" my thinking. Ever since then I have learned and made it a practice to live a healthier lifestyle along with focusing on and appreciating all the GOOD in my life. And if at times my mind wants to go in the "wrong" direction, I quickly recognize it and turn my focus back and look only at the positive.
Now I am not saying that we should not have goals in our lives, even the word of God says that He "gives us the desires of our hearts" but the key is to not allow ourselves to be unhappy during the process, we need to learn to enjoy life NOW. Have your visions and dreams, but have them with a content heart with the understanding that even if we do not attain some of those goals in life that we can still be happy without them. When we make these adjustments in our minds and attitudes we WILL begin to experience what it's like to have REAL happiness and joy which can dramatically improve our all around health.

Crimes and Misdemeanors
"Crimes and Misdemeanors" is one of Woody Allen's most controversial and pessimistic films. Using a deft blend of Bergmanesque drama and his own special brand of neurotic humor, Allen concocts a film that tells two stories that don't fully intertwine until the last scene, which leaves you stunned because it takes all the hope out of what is essentially a morality play. One of the stories concerns ... ...
