Another cheap, tiny laptop shows for fight with Eee PC
In the glorious race to the bottom, another contender has emerged to take on the Asus hit that is the Eee PC mininotebook. Taiwanese manufactuerer Elitegroup Computer Systems unveiled its G10IL mininotebook, which will feature Intel's new Atom processors and either an 8.9- or 10.2-inch screen. Like the MSI Wind prototype Crave spied earlier this month, the ECS G10IL features an unfortunate name and a fetching design: clean, glossy, and white. At first glance, it looks like some sort of mini-MacBook crossed with a Sony VAIO.
The ECS G10IL has three USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet and … Read more

Improving Access to and Delivery of Comprehensive Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for Sexual Assault and Occupational PEP Through Training and Systems Strengthening
Council staff in South Africa are improving access to post-rape care for child and adult survivors of sexual assault as well as occupational PEP for health and emergency care workers on a national scale, in a continuing effort to provide comprehensive post-rape care management and prevent unwanted pregnancies, HIV, and other infections.
Sexual assault and HIV are two prevalent and interrelated public health problems in South Africa. With 5.7 million people living with the virus and a reported sexual assault rate of 194 per 100,000 women, the risk of survivors being infected with HIV is quite high. It is important to note that South Africa also has the highest incidence of child sexual assault in the world. Marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection in South Africa; these include commercial sex workers, intravenous drug users, ethnic minorities, men who have sex with men, and prisoners. Further, health care workers, police, prison wardens, emergency rescue staff, and other service workers also are at significant risk of occupational exposure to HIV. Targeted inclusion of these groups in HIV prevention efforts, such as PEP and occupational PEP, as well as violence prevention efforts is needed.
PEP refers to a set of services that manage specific aspects of exposure to blood-borne pathogens. In the case of HIV, these services comprise a course of antiretroviral drugs to prevent infection and seroconversion and, depending on the event, might include additional services, such as first aid, counseling, HIV testing, and treatment for possible exposure to other infections and to possible pregnancy. Research suggests that when initiated within 48 hours after exposure, PEP is more effective than initiation within 48–72 hours, and that PEP is not effective when given more than 72 hours following possible exposure to HIV. Furthermore, a 28-day course of drug therapy appears to be more effective than courses of treatment lasting 3 or 10 days. In South Africa, there is a strong argument to be made in support of the provision of PEP for HIV given the number of people living with HIV and the high incidence of sexual assault.
The Population Council has established collaborations with government and nongovernmental organizations to improve access to comprehensive PEP for a range of populations who may be at risk of coerced, voluntary, and occupational exposure to HIV.
The Council consulted with representatives from the departments of health, police, and correctional services from five provinces (KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North West, Free State, and Gauteng) in March 2010 to identify gaps in the capacity for providing PEP and sexual and gender-based violence services and to consider activities that could be undertaken to most constructively address service discrepancies. A situation analysis revealed that only 29 percent of facilities had frontline staff adequately skilled in PEP service provision and that only 294/738 cases (40%) had presented to health facilities within 72 hours of exposure. The capacity-building strategy being used includes improvements in human resources, institutional capacity, and networks within facilities and across departments.
To date, Council staff have worked in close collaboration with the Department of Health and the South African Police Service to build capacity in 88 health facilities in five provinces. Approximately 1,000 health and police workers have been trained so far.
During the next five years (September 2011–2016), the Population Council/South Africa will continue to strengthen and expand the scope and scale of the current program in support of the government's National HIV & AIDS and STI Strategic Plan. In addition, activities are being planned to achieve coverage of all health facilities, prisons, police stations, and military health facilities countrywide.
Project objectives are to:
- Improve the quality of and access to services for comprehensive post-rape care and follow-up for adults, children, and other vulnerable populations
- Improve the quality of and access to services for occupational and voluntary exposure to HIV and other blood infections
- Strengthen systems for collecting information and making it available to guide program implementation, including information on treatment adherence and outcomes
- Coordinate with the Government of South Africa and other partners to ensure national coverage and avoid replication
- Strengthen logistics and management processes to ensure adequate supplies and provision of the comprehensive package of services
- Develop advocacy tools and activities
- Strengthen technical resources within South Africa

The Meade County Green Wave left their Week 3 loss to John Hardin with a bad taste in their mouths.
Even worse, the Green Wave didn't play last week, so they have been stewing for two weeks about a performance they were very unsatisfied about.
"It's been a long two weeks off, especially when you get your butt beat," said Meade County coach Larry Mofield. "We had to do a lot of soul searching and figure out how we couldn't get more done."

In a land where football is king and basketball and baseball command plenty of attention, soccer news rarely resonates in non-World Cup years. But it is the world's most popular sport, and right now the world's most popular sport is at the epicenter of a huge scandal.
FIFA, the secretive and controversial governing body of soccer, is facing charges that at least six of its members accepted bribes during bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The question, of course, is whether the charges are born of sour grapes or real concern for fair business dealings.
It's probably a bit of both.
England was hoping to bring the World Cup to Great Britain in 2018 while the United States, which hosted in 1994, was trying to land the event for 2022.
Russia won the bid for 2018; Qatar will showcase the planet's main sports event in 2022.
England is now claiming that its members were asked for bribes in order to win the rights for 2018. In fact, a House of Commons committee is looking into England's failed bid and claiming rampant corruption during the process.
One has to ask, however, if any of this would be an issue if England had actually won the World Cup sweepstakes. The sites were announced last December, and withholding such damning information until now just looks like revenge.
David Triesman, the former leader of England's 2018 bid, even told English lawmakers he kept quiet at the time because he didn't want to hurt the country's chances of winning over the committee. Would he have remained quiet had the vote gone the other way?
Qatar's win, of course, is a puzzler if one works under the premise that the playing field was level in the bid process.
There are reports that the oil-rich Arab nation gladly handed out cash in order to secure the Cup.
Qatar entered the negotiations with only 13 soccer stadiums in the entire country and only one that seats more than 25,000. It also told FIFA it would and could build remote controlled, artificial clouds to hover over venues in order to lessen the dangerous heat.
The outdoor stadiums will also be air-conditioned.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter is even considering changing the time frame of the World Cup in 2022 so the matches can be played in cooler weather, a bizarre move that would significantly disrupt scheduling in almost all of the world's international professional leagues.
Qatar's selection came out of the blue. The country didn't have a national team until 1970 and its world class, high tech stadiums exist only on a computer right now.
So those who believe the "fix was in" have plenty of reasons to believe that.
It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of the investigation, or if FIFA will continue to answer to no one.

The Third Order Regular Franciscans, Immaculate Conception Province, are celebrating 100 years of ministry at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Altoona, this year.
The parish observed the occasion with a festive liturgy and social on Sept. 11.
The first Franciscan priest to be pastor of the church was Father Jerome Zazzara, T.O.R., who was installed at Mount Carmel on Jan. 1, 1910.
He answered the plea from Bishop Eugene Garvey, the first bishop of Altoona, to minister to the Italian immigrants at the parish.
The work of the 11 Third Order Regular Franciscan pastors and the 55 Franciscan Friars who served with them has served the various pastoral needs of the people while communicating to all the message of St. Francis of Assisi.
The message of St. Francis is one of peace, loving respect for all of creation, and recognition of the common brotherhood of all.
"It is characterized by a love for the poor, care of the earth, and always points the way to Jesus Christ," said Father Frank Scornaienchi, pastor of Mount Carmel.
"During these past 100 years, the friars have worked with the people of the parish to help spread the good news of Jesus and to build up the Church of God," he said.
"We give thanks to God for the past 100 years of ministry and ask that God bless us in the next 100."

The full biography of Caroline Kennedy.
Caroline Kennedy's life was shaped by the myth of Camelot, as well as the reality of her father's assassination.
Sign in with Facebook to see how you and your friends are connected to famous icons.
There's no such thing as royalty in the United States, but if anyone has ever come close to that level, it's the Kennedy family. For 64 years, Washington had at least one Kennedy in public office. Descended from Irish Catholics who fled the potato famine, the family has a strong tradition in the Democratic party, the most prominent member being President John F. Kennedy. In addition to fame and political power, the Kennedy clan has had more than its fair share of tragedy—several members of the family have died in accidents and assassinations, in what's been called the "Kennedy curse."

Katherine Cox does detailed drawings on hand-crafted paper.
Her husband, Jonathan, makes large-scale sculptures using wood and stone.
The longtime couple, both professors at Marshall University, produce very different work. And yet exhibited together, as it is this starting this weekend at The Art Store, their artwork seems a natural pairing.
Katherine's pieces feature ordinary items - twigs, stones, trees - rendered in lovely detail and muted tones on beautifully textured paper.
Jonathan's sculptures are at once complex and simple, featuring many layers of wood brought together in curved shapes.
Both love great ingredients.
She's passionate about her paper, which she makes. He loves finding just the right type of wood and marble, be it rare ebony, Honduran mahogany or a verde marble from Vermont. He has collected wood for years, and some is now so rare that it can't legally be harvested anymore.
Jonathan loaded his sculptures into a rental truck earlier this week to bring them to Charleston, where they were carefully assembled.
He said he has loved wood since his boyhood in Florida, where he and his firefighter dad built boats together. Boat building taught him the finer points of shaping wood on a form, and Jonathan said he typically works in a large format.
"I usually work on three or four pieces at a time," he said. Sometimes he sketches an idea.
"And sometimes I have a really clear idea of what I want to do," he said.

Delta High School's track teams performed well at last week's Coal Ridge Invitational meet. The Lady Panthers outscored everyone in the 15-team field with 111 points to win the team competition.
Delta's boys had 46.5 points to place sixth in their division.
Lady Panthers
Skylyn Webb was instrumental in helping the Lady Panthers win a team title at Coal Ridge. She was first in two individual events (100m, 200m) and ran a leg of the record-setting 3200m relay team.
Webb won the 100m with a time of 12.87 and had a 26.08 to win the 200m.
Along with Clarissa Whiting, Mykayla Music and Cleo Whiting, Webb helped Delta break a two-year-old record in the 3200m relay. Delta won the race in a time of 10:00 to break the 2011 time of 10:13.92 which was set by Grand Valley.
The Lady Panthers had a fourth win with Callie Gafford's victory in the high jump. Gafford cleared 5-1 to break the existing record of 5-0 set by Rifle's Carsyn Copeland back in 2011.
Cleo and Clarissa Whiting were second and third, respectively, in both the 800m and 1600m runs for the Panthers. Patti Chapman (long jump) and Bry Music (shot put) also picked up second- place finishes.
Delta's 800m relay team (Natalie Marvin, Rae Loy, Teona Martinez, Alysha Richards) placed fourth with Kaylee Dunham (3200m run) and Amelia Hawkins (high jump) finishing fifth in those events.
Mykayla Music (3200m run), Chapman (triple jump), and Bry Music (discus) all had sixth place finishes.
Adara Sandoval and Haley Millard tied for seventh in the 400m dash and the 400m relay team (Marvin, Loy, Martinez and Aysha Richards) also finished seventh.
Panther Boys
There were no first-place finishes for Delta in the boys'w division. Zach Decker had the team's top finish with his 52.63 time in the 400m dash.
Dustin Ownbey continues to run well and his 2:06.45 in the 800m run was good for third place. Ownbey, along with Decker, Robin Milabo, and Jonathan Kinderknecht, finished fourth in the 3200m relay. Kinderknecht picked up another fourth in the 1600m run.
A time of 52.65 was good enough for fourth place in the 400m dash for Douglas Hawkins.
There was one fifth-place finish for the Panthers. Eian Baier accomplished that feat in long jump. Baier was sixth in the high jump.
Milabo, Cordell Stroud, Johnny Ponce and Bodie Giron placed sixth in the 400m relay and Jacob Millard was seventh in the 400m dash.
Delta has this week off but returns to the oval on Friday, April 26, when they travel to Montrose. Competition begins at 9 a.m.

Christians today are generally polarized into two opposite groups. One feels that the Word of God forbids any and all kinds of debt at all times (see Romans 13:8). Some of these even feel that debt is a sin. The other group assumes that debt is an acceptable and normal way of life that God often uses to meet the needs of His people. Neither of these viewpoints is totally accurate. Although debt is not a sin, it also is not a normal way of life, according to Scripture. Rather, debt is a dangerous tool that must be used, if at all, with extreme caution and much prayer due to its potential for enslaving people in financial bondage (see Proverbs 22:7).
The following are reasons why debt needs to be treated with extreme caution.
Debt-free living is still God's plan for His people today. The blessings of becoming debt free go far beyond the financial area. They extend to the spiritual and material realms as well. No one who is financially bound can be spiritually free. The effects of financial bondage on a marriage relationship are devastating. Currently 50 percent of all first-time marriages fail, and the primary reason for the failure is financial incompatibility. Therefore, it is to all Christians' advantage to strive to become debt free.

There are so many similarities between the early days of the PC (1978-1982) and this era in the nascent market for tablets. In both cases, the vast majority of purchases in these early days were made by consumers, even if the device was being brought into work. After all, there were no budgets for these new devices, and IT didn't have any way to manage or deal with them. However, once they started showing up in larger numbers, this approach was no longer valid, and organizations moved to buy and manage them.
It took the PC 4 years to get to this point, but less than half of that for the tablet. And for the commercial tablet, the time has come for organizations to get in front of the wave and start providing employees with tablets, and weaning them from their personal devices. Tout de suite! Read more

The Directorate-General for the Environment is one of the more than 40 Directorates-General and services that make up the European Commission. Commonly referred to as DG Environment, the objective of the Directorate-General is to protect, preserve and improve the environment for present and future generations. To achieve this it proposes policies that ensure a high level of environmental protection in the European Union and that preserve the quality of life of EU citizens.
The DG makes sure that Member States correctly apply EU environmental law. In doing so it investigates complaints made by citizens and non-governmental organisations and can take legal action if it is deems that EU law has been infringed. In certain cases DG Environment represents the European Union in environmental matters at international meetings such as the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity.
The DG also finances projects that contribute to environmental protection in the EU. Since 1992 some 2,600 projects have received some financing from LIFE, the EU's financial instrument for the environment.
Every year the Directorate General makes public its priorities for the upcoming year and also publishes a yearly report on the preceding year's policy initiatives.

Improving environmental management at the European Commission
Since 2002 DG Environment and four other Commission services (OIB, DG HR, DIGIT and SG) have taken part in a pilot project to improve the Commission's environmental performance through the implementation of an environmental management system in line with the EMAS regulation . From 2002 to 2008, electricity and water consumption have gone down by 14 and 22% respectively. Emissions of CO2 have also decreased (7%) and so has the amount of waste generated (11%). By mid-2008 nearly half of Commission staff used public transport such as busses, trams, metro or the train. Following the positive results of this pilot phase it was decided to extend the EMAS system to the whole Commission, starting in January 2010.


text: How to Shoot in Manual Mode With Your Digital SLR Shooting with your DSLR in automatic mode is finemost of the time. But to get professional-grade photos from your professional-grade camera, these are the five things you need to master. By Dmitri Alexander Email Comments 0 Share Back 6 of 6 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Dmitri Alexander Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Spot Meter FOR COMPLEX LIGHTING, OUTDOOR PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPES, SILHOUETTES The shot of the Andes presented a classic light-metering challengea scene containing both bright and dark elements. In high-contrast scenarios, full auto splits the difference to capture as much of the highlight and shadow detail as possible. The resulting shot is often an unsatisfying compromise. For better results in high-contrast scenes, set the camera to the spot-metering mode, symbolized on the display screen by a dot inside a box. Then decide what's most important visually. Center the area of interest in the viewfinderin my photo, the sky and mountainsand depress the shutter button halfway. This tells the camera, "Give me a perfect exposure of what we're looking at right now." With the shutter still half-depressed, you can adjust the composition, then push further to shoot. This technique left the mountaineer and foreground slopes underexposed to the point of becoming silhouettes, but that added visual punch. Compromise is overrated. So take the next exit from full-auto I-80 and have a little more fun. Return to Gallery Back 6 of 6 Next Return to Gallery Back Next Return to Slideshow Related News

"Fell in love with this shower announcement on line! When I showed it to the mom to be, she was so excited. She loved them as much as I did! She texted me later that day, saying that she loved to sit and look at them, because they were so pretty! Thanks for a great quality product! Nice, thick card stock!! Awesome!!"
"Besides the invitation looking exactly as it appeared when I ordered and worded it online, in person they are too adorable. Everyone involved with the shower agreed. What was very reassuring that all the information I needed to supply fitted perfectly. The RSVP feature is also great, much easier to keep track of my guest and the ability to add additional information for my guest is wonderful. Very pleased with BABY BUNS."

Green Line Alert! | ||
Due to a disabled train, shuttle buses replacing Green Line C branch between Kenmore and St. Mary's and Green Line D branch between Kenmore and Fenway. | ||
In May 2012, the MBTA Acting General Manager Jonathan R. Davis signed the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Sustainability Commitment Pledge. APTA's Sustainability Commitment is a voluntary program for transit agencies and other organizations involved in public transportation to join and pledge their commitment to sustainability. The basic premise as stated in the commitment is, "preserving the environment, being socially responsible and maintaining economic viability, with an overall contribution to quality of life."
Transit agencies that sign the APTA Sustainability Pledge commit to instituting procedures, policies and programs designed to quantify to their level of continuous improvements in the areas of water, energy and fuel consumption, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, increased recycling and decreased waste generations as well as other areas within their organization. Signees are rated based upon an evaluation system that qualifies their level of implementation from Bronze to Silver, to Gold and finally Platinum. Each level represents a bigger commitment and thus a reduction in critical environmental categories such as green house gas emissions. Over the course of the next year, the MBTA will develop metrics to measure each of these areas and then determine which Sustainability commitment level they will commit to.
The core commitment to sustainability starts with the men and women who work on the front lines at the Authority and continues all the way to the highest levels of the organization, including the Governor, the members of the MBTA Board of Directors, Secretary of Transportation, and the MBTA's General Manager. The primary goal of the Authority is to strive for sustainable operations, not just on the environmental front, but as an ongoing strategic relationship with the communities it serves. Governor Deval Patrick stated during the introduction of the Massachusetts GreenDOT initiative, "By making this commitment, MassDOT has declared its contribution to creating a clean energy economy for Massachusetts. In the coming years, we will see the results in smarter growth, cleaner vehicles, and jobs devoted to building a lower carbon transportation system."
The Environmental Affairs department at the MBTA is aggressively pursuing sustainable programs throughout the entire Authority. The department focuses on strategic functions such as energy, waste management, compliance, facilities, and EMS.

Summary of Selected Cases Involving Excessive Force Used by Police and EMTs in Responding to Persons with Seizures
Updated: August 2008
The following summarizes some selected cases pending and resolved, involving this issue that have come to the attention of the Epilepsy Foundation. Documents filed in most of these cases may be obtained by sending a request to the Jeanne A. Carpenter Epilepsy Legal Defense Fund at email@example.com.
Open Cases
Wells v. County of Stanislaus(E.D. Ca. filed 8/05/08)
Summary: The parents of a man with epilepsy who died after being restrained and tasered by Stanislaus County (California) Sherriff's Department deputies filed a lawsuit against the County alleging that the deputies used excessive force in violation of the man's constitutional rights. The action also names as a defendant Taser International, the manufacturer of Tasers, and alleges that the Taser device used by the police was unsafe and that the company violated its legal duty to warn about the danger to the public posed by the device.
James Edward Wells died on August 15, 2007, allegedly as a result of being tasered and restrained by deputies, who were responding to a call that Mr. Wells had attempted to force his way into a neighbor's home.The suit alleges the following facts: according to witness statements, Mr. Wells had experienced a tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure, and, as a result of post-seizure confusion (which typically follows such seizures), wandered from his home and attempted to enter his neighbor's house. When police officers arrived, Mr. Wells approached them in a non-threatening manner; because of his impaired consciousness, he was not responsive to their commands to stop.In an effort to subdue Mr. Wells, police officers struck him in the throat and attempted to wrestle him to the ground. When these efforts were unsuccessful, one officer tasered him several times, and multiple officers pepper sprayed him in the face and struck him on the legs with batons.When Mr. Wells fell to the ground, he was face-down; police handcuffed him behind the back, applying pressure to his back with their bodies.A short time later, Mr. Wells stopped breathing and died. It is further alleged that officers delayed in providing Mr. Wells CPR.
The action alleges that the deputies violated Mr. Wells's constitutional rights by using excessive or deadly force and seeks compensatory and punitive damages.The action also claims that the Sherriff's department was at fault because of its failure to properly train and supervise its officers regarding the use of force (including restraint) when confronting persons experiencing seizures. Based on the facts alleged, it appears that, due to the lack of such training, the deputies assumed that Mr. Wells was intentionally combative and possibly high on illicit drugs.
Status: Action is pending.
Rivas v. City of Passaic, 365 F. 3d 181 (3rd Cir. 2004)Summary: This action alleges following facts: The decedent's wife (Mrs. Rivas) directed one of her children to call 911 after she awoke to find her husband "shaking uncontrollably." When the EMTs arrived at the home, Mrs. Rivas informed them that her husband was convulsing and that he had a history of seizures. EMTs asserted that the decedent attacked them upon their arrival, but Mrs. Rivas stated that her husband was "ashen" and walking around "like a zombie."
A struggle with the decedent occurred, and police were called to intervene. This struggle continued for several minutes, with the officers positioned on the decedent's back. The decedent was handcuffed and placed face down on a stretcher. One of the straps on the stretcher broke during this process, which caused the decedent to slip out and fall down some stairs. The officers testified that the decedent became aggressive at the bottom of the stairs, which caused them to use forcible restraint once again. When the paramedics arrived shortly thereafter, they instructed the police to turn the decedent onto his back, at which point it was discovered that he was no longer breathing and did not have a pulse. Attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful, and Mr. Rivas died on his way to the hospital.
Status: The Court of Appeals, affirming the lower court's denial of summary judgment to the defendants, held that there are genuine issues of material fact as to whether EMTs deprived Mr. Rivas of his right to be free from a state-created danger, and that that there are also issues of fact as to whether police officers used excessive force to subdue Mr. Rivas. The court also ruled that if EMTs violated Mr. Rivas' constitutional rights, they would not be entitled to qualified immunity.
Closed Cases
Villanueva v. Township of Bloomfield, (NJ Superior Court, filed May 14, 2003), Docket No. ESX-L-3286-03 (settled 2008)Summary: As alleged in this lawsuit, Santiago Villanueva, 35, a native of the Dominican Republic, who lived in New York, was experiencing a seizure on April 16, 2002, when he was arrested at the garment factory where he worked. According to Bloomfield, NJ police reports, officers and emergency medical technicians responding to a 911 call deemed Villanueva combative and, at times, unresponsive to simple verbal commands – common signs of certain types of seizures. The responders acknowledge using some force to bring Mr. Villanueva under control. The police restrained Mr. Villanueva by placing pressure on his back and neck, despite insistence by his co-workers that such force was unnecessary. Mr. Villanueva stopped breathing at one point during the incident, but started again before reaching the Columbus Hospital in Newark, where he died. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be homicide by mechanical asphyxiation.
Status: The case was settled for $2 million.
Gates v. Broomfield County, et al.(D. Co. settled 2008)Summary: A 42-year old man died when he was restrained in his home by paramedics and police officers (Broomfield County, outside of Denver). The responders were called to the home by the man's wife, who witnessed her husband having a complex partial seizure.According to the complaint: Responders attempted to prevent the man from leaving his bedroom, forcing him onto his bed face down. At least one responder applied pressure with a knee to the man's back to restrain him and they handcuffed him behind the back at the same time. They also administered medication to arrest the seizure (Versed and Benedryl). Responders transported the man to the ER, at which time he was unconscious.He was placed on life support for 36 hours. The treating doctor indicated that the man was suffocated.A federal action was filed in Denver in September 2006 and defendants answered.The complaint sought compensatory, punitive, and deterrence damages and attorneys' fees.
Status: Case was settled.Amount of settlement is confidential.
Orehek v. Janusz (D. Co., settled 2006)Summary: Plaintiff alleged that the defendantsviolated his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Constitution. He further alleged that the defendants violated Colorado State law by committing assault and battery against him. The events giving rise to these allegations stemmed from the response of the police and EMT personnel after they were called to the scene by the plaintiff's fiancé. When these parties arrived, the plaintiff was experiencing petit-mal seizures and was in a post-ictal state of confusion.
The plaintiff alleged that the police and EMTs were aware that he had just had a seizure and yet they still used force to restrain him when he attempted to walk out of the house to speak with his mother. The plaintiff never made any violent gestures toward either party; however, he allegedly was continually struck and eventually handcuffed and placed in custody. As a result of this encounter, the plaintiff alleges that he suffered emotional distress and aggravation of both his epilepsy and an existing shoulder problem.
Status: The plaintiff sought compensatory and consequential damages (for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering), punitive damages, trial and attorneys' fees, pre- and post-judgment interest, and any other legal or equitable relief that the court deems appropriate. The parties entered into a settlement.
Jardine v. City of Tempe(Arizona Superior Court, concluded 2005)Summary: John Brooking Jardine, a 37 year-old-student at Arizona State University, died in Tempe, AZ, on March 30, 1999, following a seizure on campus. Representatives of the plaintiff's estate filed suit in Arizona Superior Court, alleging that Mr. Jardine's death was caused by EMTs' use of excessive and inappropriate force. The decedent experienced a seizure in his college class, and his fellow students called 911.
At trial, evidence supporting the following facts was presented: When the EMTs arrived on the scene just after the seizure halted (knowing that the call had been dispatched as a seizure), Mr. Jardine was confused (common soon after a seizure), and apparently did not comply with EMTs' orders to remain seated. EMTs, misinterpreting behaviors associated with his seizure as combative, forcibly restrained Mr. Jardine while he was handcuffed behind his back. The EMTs forced Mr. Jardine to the floor, applying pressure to his shoulders, arms and legs to immobilize him, and strapped him face-down (prone) on a gurney. He was still handcuffed. En route to the hospital, the EMTs noted that Mr. Jardine had stopped breathing and had no pulse. The handcuffs could not be unlocked, as the key remained with a security guard on campus. Mr. Jardine was pronounced dead by emergency room physicians shortly after his arrival at the hospital. Attorneys representing Mr. Jardine's family argued and presented expert testimony that this prone restraint caused Mr. Jardine to die of asphyxiation.
Status: The suit sought monetary damages and alleged that Mr. Jardine was subjected to unreasonable and excessive force, that his civil rights were violated and that he was denied proper medical care. In 2003, one of the defendants, Arizona State University, reached a settlement with the family in which the University agreed to pay $800,000 and establish a scholarship for students with disabilities. On November 17, 2005, following a trial involving other defendants, a jury issued a verdict finding that the EMTs involved were not responsible for the death of Mr. Jardine.
Stetter v. Village of Hanover Park(N.D. IL, settled 2000)Summary: Representatives of the plaintiff's estate filed suit alleging that the defendants violated the decedent's constitutional rights when using excessive force when responding to a 911 call for assistance. The complaint alleged as follows: The decedent, who was in a postictal state at the time, was forcibly restrained and handcuffed by police and EMTs before receiving any type of medical care. Pressure was applied to the decedent's neck, back, and shoulders, and he was placed face-down on a gurney. He was found to be without a pulse while still in the home, but no attempt to resuscitate the decedent was made before the EMTs reached the ambulance.
Status: The parties settled the matter, with the defendant making a large payment to the family.
Case of Joaquin "Jack" Gonzales (settled 2000)Summary: Mr. Gonzales died in has jail cell on November 20, 1999. Shortly after midnight on that date, Mr. Gonzales' friends had called 911 for an ambulance because of a series of seizures he was having. Sheriff's deputies responded to the call, put Gonzales in a straitjacket, and took him to jail.
While in jail, Gonzales was allegedly shackled to the upper bunk in his cell, placed face down on the lower bunk, and subjected to knee pressure on his back causing positional asphyxiation. According to published reports, New Mexico State Police investigation records show that jail inmates reported hearing banging noises, a jailer's loud yelling, screams, and the sounds of someone gasping for air. The inmates also reported hearing the repeated cry of "I can't breathe," and then silence.
Gonzales, an artist with two young sons, had developed epilepsy following a football-related head injury sustained in high school.
Status: Taos County, NM, authorities agreed to settle this wrongful-death lawsuit for $1.25 million.
Parks v. Darby Borough(E.D. PA, settled 2000)
The plaintiff filed suit against police and emergency medical personnel, claiming that he was improperly restrained during a seizure and that he suffered nerve damage as a result.
Status: The case settled, with the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeastern Pennsylvania agreeing to provide training and resources on how to respond to seizures to the Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.The Commission agreed to require police training schools to show the Epilepsy Foundation's "Take Another Look" video to each new recruit class, and to establish a three-hour mandatory in-service training curriculum (using certified trainers) that instructs on how to identify and appropriately respond to persons who are experiencing a seizure.
Frazell v. Flanigan, 102 F.3d 877 (7th Cir. 1996)Summary: The plaintiff and his two coworkers were pulled over by the defendant police officer because the plaintiff's taillights were not working. The officer alleged that the vehicle had been swerving, and believed he smelled alcohol on the plaintiff's breath; therefore, he administered a field sobriety test, which the plaintiff failed. The plaintiff was then placed under arrest and seated in the defendant's squad car, at which point he began to feel "dizzy." His memory of the ensuing events is vague, but his coworkers (who remained in the vehicle) testified that they saw the plaintiff restrained on the ground with his hands cuffed.They also testified that several officers were striking him with a club and pinning him down with their knees and feet. They also stated that they informed the arresting officers of the plaintiff's history of epilepsy, but that the officers responded by threatening them with similar treatment.Mr. Frazell sustained multiple cuts, bruises and abrasions to his head, back and chest, and washospitalized for three days.
The officers maintained that their actions were triggered by violence and resistance on the part of the plaintiff, and that he had only minor cuts at the time he was placed in the paddy wagon for transport to the hospital (implying that the plaintiff's most severe injuries were self-inflicted in the paddy wagon). At trial, two physicians who had treated the plaintiff in the years prior to the incident testified that they believed the plaintiff had experienced a seizure during the traffic stop, and that its duration was extended by the actions of the police officers.
Status: The plaintiff was awarded judgment (and a jury award of $160,000) on his claims that his constitutional rights were violated through the use of excessive force, and the court of appeals affirmed. In its decision, the court of appeals stated that the standard of review in a claim of Fourth Amendment violation is whether the actions of the officers could be considered "objectively reasonable." In the instant case, the court found that a jury could have concluded that the defendant acted unreasonably by continuing to strike the plaintiff after he had been restrained.

What is Paget's disease?
Paget's disease is a chronic condition of bone characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. Normal bone has a balance of forces that act to lay down new bone and take up old bone. This relationship (referred to as "bone remodeling") is essential for maintaining the normal calcium levels in our blood. In bone affected by Paget's disease, the bone remodeling is disturbed and not synchronized. As a result, the bone that is formed is abnormal, enlarged, not as dense, brittle, and prone to breakage (fracture).
Paget's disease affects older skeletal bone of adults. It's estimated that 1% of adults in the U.S. have Paget's disease. There is also an extremely rare form of Paget's disease in children, referred to as juvenile Paget's disease. Paget's disease is also known as osteitis deformans.
What causes Paget's disease?
It is not known what causes Paget's disease. Recently, certain genes have been associated with Paget's disease, including the Sequestrosome 1 gene on chromosome 5. Virus infection may be necessary to trigger Paget's disease in people who have inherited the genetic tendency to develop the condition by having these genes.
What are Paget's disease symptoms?
Paget's disease commonly causes no symptoms and is often incidentally noted when X-ray tests are obtained for other reasons. However, Paget's disease can cause bone pain, deformity, fracture, and arthritis. The bone pain of Paget's disease is located in the affected bone. The most common bones affected by Paget's disease include the spine, the thigh bone (femur), the pelvis, the skull, the collarbone (clavicle), and the upper arm bone (humerus).
The symptoms of Paget's disease depend on the bones affected and the severity of the disease. Enlarged bones can pinch adjacent nerves, causing tingling and numbness. Bowing of the legs can occur. Hip or knee involvement can lead to arthritis, limping, as well as pain and stiffness of the hip or knee. Headache, loss of vision, and hearing loss can occur when bones of the skull are affected. With very widespread Paget's disease, it is possible to develop congestive heart failure due to an increased workload on the heart.

July 2, 2013 The Stash ListRemembering the Medlen EffectWe're halfway through the season now, and the Stash List has gone through a large transformation since it began two-and-a-half months ago. Gone are the elite prospects who were awaiting roster spots and/or the Super Two deadline to pass. Gone are most of the players who began the season on the disabled list—either because they have come back and been successful, like early Stash List favorite Francisco Liriano, or they are one of the seemingly many players unable to make it back onto the field, like Corey Hart or Ryan Madson. But if you think that stashing has become a feeble exercise at this point in the season, it only takes a very short memory to see why there is plenty of incentive to do so. At this point in 2012, Kris Medlen was still lingering in the Braves' bullpen awaiting a chance to move back into the starting rotation. In fact, he wouldn't make his first start for Atlanta until the last day of July—and I don't need to remind you how that story ends. Of course, it is exceedingly rare for a player to make such a large impact in such a short period of time, like Medlen did. But there were others who were very helpful, just overshadowed by Medlen's ridiculous performance. Hisashi Iwakuma made his first start of the season on July 2, 2012, and went on to post a 2.65 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 78 strikeouts the rest of the way. Salvador Perez had only 25 at-bats under his belt on July 2, 2012, and finished the season as a top-20 catcher. Pedro Ciriaco debuted on July 7 and hit .280 with 14 steals for the season. Players will come up and make fantasy impacts in the second half, no matter what size league you're in. And if I've done my job, those names should appear below. Maybe it's the diminutive righty who continues to occupy the top spot on the list… Without any further ado, here is The Stash List, version 11.0: The Graduates: Dustin Ackley (3), Kyle Gibson (8)

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are calling it quits after 30 years of marriage.Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman long stood out as one of those Hollywood couples who were stuck together like glue. They were in it for the long-haul, or so we thought. So, after 30 years together, does the flame just stop burning? It doesn't have to.
More from YourTango: Which Celebrity Couple Got Married This Weekend?
According to Entertainment Tonight, a rep for the couple has confirmed their separation and plans for divorce. Perlman and DeVito met in 1970 after a performance of the Broadway play The Shrinking Bride. Perlman had attended to see a friend perform, and DeVito was also in the cast. After the curtains closed, DeVito talked to Perlman and apparently really charmed her. The two moved in together two weeks later.
This means these two have known each other for over four decades! During the course of their romance and marriage, they created their own production company, and worked on multiple projects together on-screen including the film version of Matilda and the sitcom Taxi. The couple also has three grown children-Lucy, 29, Grace, 27 and the youngest and only son Jacob, 24.
After 30 years, the couple now is calling it quits. So, does this mean that love eventually fizzes out? Not if you follow the steps of our YourTango Experts. "The eyes are the mirrors to the soul, and it's amazing how we cannot really look at or see each other," YourTango Expert Donna Davidge said about the importance of looking into your loved one's eyes. "It is surprising how deeply this action can reconnect you both." You can read all 18 tips on how to keep your romance fresh in the full article.
Maybe DeVito and Perlman should have read it. They did know what to do back when their relationship was still fresh. "You'd really have to work hard at breaking us up at this point," Perlman told People in 1995 about their rock-solid marriage. When DeVito was asked about the key to a happy relationship, he simply answered: "Love. Love. I mean, really. You know what? Who knows. The secret to success is to try to never figure that out."
Maybe they tried too hard to figure it out.
Tell us: Do you think it takes work to keep the flame burning after a long relationship?

$999 Blu-ray laptop with game:
Sony Vaio FW560F/T reviewed
For the same price as a white MacBook, Sony's stylish retail update to their FW line shaves a few hundred off the price and bumps specs.
Several months ago, one of our favorite retail laptops was the Sony Vaio FW480J/T. Besides offering no-hassle Blu-ray playback and a large if not full-HD 1,600x900-pixel resolution, 16.4-inch screen, it had decent discrete graphics that could handle many mainstream games. At the time, its $1,199 price was a little high, but very good when compared with traditional "gaming" laptops.
Just a few months later, the Sony Vaio FW560F/T has found itself at the top of our Holiday 2009 retail laptop roundup, a high-end system by definition of its price and features. At $999, however, this Vaio slips right under that psychological $1,000 line, while keeping Blu-ray and slightly improving the processor speed--and now it has Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled instead of Windows Vista.
This has jumped from a good deal to a great deal for anyone looking for a Blu-ray-ready multimedia laptop. The package offered is a big improvement over the Vaio FW351J/H, which cost nearly the same amount of money early this summer.
On the other hand, gaming laptops have changed the landscape recently with the release of the Intel Core i7 processor. High-end laptops have never been faster, and going with a Core 2 Duo is now a significant step down from that new plateau. We can't really call the Vaio FW560F/T a gaming laptop, but it's certainly affordable, and can handle many games better than you think.
Read our review of the Sony Vaio FW560F/T.

Thank you so much for your help and coordination for our NYE wedding! The event was absolutely wonderful and the setting turned out so beautiful! More than I could have ever imagined! I received so many compliments regarding the Graves 601 Hotel! From pretty much everyone regarding how great the food was, the service, the setting, the hotel rooms, the security J - pretty much everything! You and your staff are top notch!!
Dear Donna:
I intended to write you 'right away', to tell you how FABULOUS the Graves experience and service was but we went to NY to see daughter Allison last week and, so now are just recovering from all the fun and excitement.
I must say that I was totally surprised by all of the (tons of) emails and calls that we received (And, numerous expressions from good friends of ours who were not invited but heard about the wedding). I feel like we hosted the social highlight of the season:) All thanks to you and the Graves' wonderful ambience and gracious hospitality.
Dennis was absolutely right; a GREAT time was had by all. In addition to the marvelous food (people loved the salmon, a special treat at weddings), hors d'oeuvre's, and total elegance of the Graves, one of the cutest comments we consistently received, was how full the wine glasses were kept:) Seriously though, I believe this is one of those special touches that people notice.
For Steve and I, the experience far exceeded our fondest hopes for a beautiful wedding for our lovely daughter and endearing Joe. Just had to thank you again for all you added to this perfect celebration.
Thanks for everything. The wedding and reception were flawless. Everyone loved the food and the great atmosphere.
I wanted to just drop you another thank you to let you know how much we appreciate everything you did for us this weekend! Literally everything went perfectly and everything looked amazing. The service was impeccable, the food was the best banquet food I have ever had, and the night exceeded all expectations. You had ever detail planned and executed right down to the salad for my dad. He rarely has good things to say about wedding food and service, and I know he was just wowed.
So thanks again for the work that you and your banquet staff put in to the night. Make sure to tell Stuart the same!
I have nothing but praise for you and all of your staff. Your service was out of this world and it made us feel so special and taken care of on our big day. The whole wedding looked like and ran like it stepped out of a dream! Many of our guests said it was one of the best meals they'd ever had. That's a tall order for a wedding so thank you. A million times, thank you.
The Graves 601 Hotel would be my top recommendation for anyone looking for a top-service hotel in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. My husband and I were frequent guests so we knew the level of service provided by the Graves, however for our wedding ceremony and reception we were beyond happy with their service. First, they were extremely flexible in working with us, specifically on the dinner menu. They made new recipes just for us to reflect our backgrounds and our desires for the evening. Second, their reservations crew was great in helping ensure the 70+ rooms we had booked for the evening were correct - our guests all spoke of the easy check-in and the top service they received. Lastly, the Graves 601 is just an amazing hotel - the rooms are trendy yet amazingly comfortable!!! Everyone says they have the best beds - and it's true!!! The Graves is situated in a great location in Minneapolis - in the heart of downtown yet right off the light-rail train. A perfect location for our out-of-town guests. Graves 601 receives my top recommendation to others looking for a fabulous venue!
Thank you for all your work in making Laurie and Scott's dreams come true. We have been told by many people that it was the most beautiful, fun wedding they have ever attended. Thank you and the attentive staff at the Graves 601 Hotel for all you did!
Thank you Donna for everything. Laurie told me everything was perfect and her wedding could not have been anywhere else but the Graves 601 Hotel!
Thank you to you and the entire Graves staff for helping make our wedding reception a fantastic event. We were very impressed by the staff's attention to detail and organization. We received tons of compliments from family and friends. Additionally, my florist raved about the attentiveness of you and your staff. I will definitely recommend Graves to anyone who is looking to host a personalized event. Thanks again!
"We just wanted to thank you, the chef and the rest of the Graves 601 staff for such a phenomenal wedding experience! Everything was absolutely perfect and all of our guests really enjoyed their stay at the Graves. Our experience with the Graves 601 exceeded our expectations in every way and we are so happy we decided to have our wedding with you guys. Thank you again for making our big day even that much more special."
"We TRULY had a great time at the wedding, everything went smooth and everyone was very impressed by the Graves."
"Awesome location, you are near EVERYTHING, shops, restaurants, bars, and the train. You can take the train right to the airport and we felt very safe. The train which is about a block away also heads to the Mall of America (one word for that =yuck), however the hotel was very trendy, clean and affordable. The bar Cosmos served some of the best drinks we had ever had and we travel all around the world! Would def stay there again".
"I don't even know where to begin in thanking you and your staff. I just couldn't wait to tell all of you how special you made this day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We have some of the best photos ever. If you would like I could send some to you for the hotel to show just how beautiful it is there for a wedding. You were the best! The absolute best!! Thanks!!!!" Click here to view photos Mike & Chris
"Just wanted to pass a note along to says thanks and to let you know that everything turned out wonderfully. We both really appreciate your help in putting our wedding together and couldn't be happier with the graves in all regards. Thanks again."
"Mike and I wanted to thank you for making our wedding such a fabulous and memorable evening. Your attention to detail during the planning process and excellent service staff resulted in a perfect night. Everyone raved about the food and the service. Mike and I were absolutely thrilled, we could not have had a better time and we wouldn't have changed a thing. I am only sad I can't do it all over again! I would highly recommend the Graves to anyone planning a wedding in Minneapolis. Thanks again!"
"First, Nancy and I want to thank you and your staff for making the reception a night that we will never forget. It was wonderful and the job that everyone at the Graves did was fantastic. Every thing went off with out a hitch. Tim and Jenny were completely happy with every thing and Steward and his staff were unbelievable. If you ever want to use us a reference please do so."
"We had a very enjoyable reception. I think that all of the staff at the Graves did an excellent job! The meal was excellent and we enjoyed the space very much. Thank you."
"I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all of your assistance with Kristin's wedding. Everything was spectacular. We've had many people tell us it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever attended. Your staff did a fantastic job! Thanks for all you did.
I can't thank you enough for a truly memorable reception! You and your staff couldn't have been more helpful. Stuart and Rusty worked at monitoring the bar. So many people commented on how Stuart came to their tables to greet them. The suite for the newlyweds was amazing. The photographer took pictures to end the tale. Again, thank you for everything.
Thanks so much for everything Donna! It was a pleasure to work with you and the wedding better than I could have imagined!"
"Words cannot express our thanks and appreciation for the efforts of you and your staff in making Judith & Mark's wedding so perfect. The facilities were wonderful and each of you did a magnificent job with smiles on your faces. The entire event was magical and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Everybody was raving about the facility, the food, and the attentiveness of staff and especially about the chemistry in the room. We still had a full dance floor at 12:30 AM ! The Brunch was perfect also, and all the hosts were very pleased. Thank you again, I would highly recommend your venue and you to anybody who asked." ~ Bill & Elaine

Movie Info
Adapted from Mark Millar's hyper-violent comic book of the same name, director Matthew Vaughn's (Layer Cake) vigilante superhero film tells the tale of an average New York teenager who decides to don a costume and fight crime. Comic book geek Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) may not have good coordination or special powers, but that doesn't mean he isn't a fully capable crime fighter. After purchasing a flashy wet suit on the Internet, Dave starts busting up baddies with nothing but brute force. He

Most of the lessons in Kick-Ass are juvenile, but Lordy are they stylishly told.
I found it mighty painful sitting through all the bone crushing and blood-letting.
I know it's all supposed to be tongue in cheek and lots of fun, but frankly this turned my stomach.
When filmmakers nudge a child into viewing savagery as slapstick, are we not allowing them to do what we condemn in the pornographer -- that is, to coarsen and inflame?
Kick-Ass is some kind of twisted fun.
Everything you've likely heard about Kick-Ass is true, providing you've heard it's profane, outlandish, ultra-violent, shocking, funny and wildly entertaining.
A tremendously fresh experience.
It could be argued that you can't have your cape and eat it, but for the most part Kick-Ass is witty, knowing and hugely fun.
With its electrifying action sequences, a killer storyline and a maverick comic sensibility, the brilliance of Kick Ass will hit those who want to see it like a thunderbolt.
If you're not too put-off by lots of violence and profanity, and enjoy a good action-filled popcorn flick, then chances are you're going to love "Kick-Ass."
If you want to get serious, you could say that Kick-Ass is the movie that could finally drag comic-books into the credible mainstream. But being serious is to miss the point of Kick-Ass completely.
Where do I stand on Kick-Ass? On the fence, goggling with a mix of appalled fascination and guilty pleasure at the film's dark comedy and over-the-top violence.
Kick-Ass gains significant momentum in its second half, once it abandons the arch origin-story material and starts staking a claim as a straight-up action flick.
Fast, funny, and a hell of a lot of fun, Vaughn's film does, indeed, live up to the brash punch of its title.
... It feels fresh, with an edge about it that allows you to think anything can happen to any character at any time.
Defiantly irreverent and gleefully violent.
The movie just decided that thoughtlessness and splatter was its own reward. I'm okay with that.
Never has a title been so true, so funny, and so simple as that of Kick-Ass.
Kick-Ass is so refreshingly iconoclastic, it's a wonder it was made at all.
Kick-Ass is such an exciting, refreshing development in comic book filmmaking that I want to shout it from the rooftops
Kick Ass is about as exciting as movies get. Not just because it is a (mostly) anarchic splatter-fest that celebrates (nay, encourages) acts of ridiculous violence, but also the fact that it was made completely outside of the studio system.
A bait-and-switch movie that lucks out because its switch is so much more appealing than its bait.
Your appreciation will depend in how much you can appreciate it's utter wrongness as a twisted virtue.
America could probably use a good laugh just about now, what with all the problems plaguing this society. But the exploitation of children even if they are actors and the special effects are occasionally awesome, is way beyond just not cool.
A genre dress-up play date from hell.
Audience Reviews for Kick-Ass
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Kick-Ass does what it promises and delivers a story that is so rousingly awesome, and has such a great narrative flow to it, that you'd regret to look away for a single second.
I love all the comic-book references and the very conscious, stylistic directing. Not to say the music, the acting and visual effects; all of supreme caliber and working in perfect harmony. Especially as it comes to the soundtrack, which features a great, eclectic mix that adds a lot to the overall effect of the film.
As for the action, it certainly pulls no punches. However rompish it may appear at face value, it holds the brutality-level of a Tarantino flick and is just as violently well-crafted.
So if you're expecting something along the lines of Superhero Movie, then you're in for a real surprise. This is bigger, better and so much cooler that the two of them don't even compare.
After countless re-watches, still my favorite film of 2010, and one that not only cleverly satirizes the superhero genre, but passionately pays homage to it.
If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do. Because this is about as good as an ass-kicker of said category can get.
