Mayor says Suns stadium decision expected mid-July
Saturday - 6/15/2013, 8:40pm  ET
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Hagerstown's mayor says he expects the City Council will make a decision on a site to build a new stadium for the Hagerstown Suns by mid-July.
The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown reports Mayor David S. Gysberts said Friday that the city continues to do "everything we can to keep the team viable in Hagerstown." Gysberts also confirmed he met with Suns majority owner Bruce Quinn on Tuesday.
The Suns, a Class A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, currently play at the 82-year-old Municipal Stadium. But the team says the stadium is no longer up to Major League Baseball standards.

SOURCE National Insurance Crime Bureau
Los Angeles Metro Area Leads State
DES PLAINES, Ill., Dec. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) today released its 2010-2012 California questionable claims referral reason analysis. Questionable claims (QC) are those claims that NICB member insurance companies refer to NICB for closer review and investigation based on one or more indicators of possible fraud. A single claim may contain up to seven referral reasons. This report analyzes QCs by loss city, core-based statistical area (CBSA), policy type, loss type, policy and loss type combined and referral reasons.
In 2010, there were 17,092 California QCs referred to NICB from its member insurance companies. In 2011, the number rose to 19,388 and in 2012, it increased to 21,935-an increase of 28 percent from 2010's figure.
The top five cities in California generating the most QCs last year were Los Angeles (3,246), San Diego (862), San Francisco (599), Sacramento (594), and Oakland (494). The top five CBSAs reporting QCs were Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos and Sacramento-Arden Arcade-Roseville. The top five loss types were: bodily injury, theft, collision, vandalism and malicious mischief and property damage.
It is important to note that QCs represent a fraction of overall claims traffic. Nationally in 2012, QCs totaled 116,268 out of an overall claims population of more than 70.5 million-or 0.164 percent. The volume of QC referrals can increase or decrease over a given period of time and may be caused by a number of factors, including better reporting by the industry and an increase or decrease in fraudulent activity, etc.
The full report is available here.
Anyone with information concerning insurance fraud or vehicle theft can report it anonymously by calling toll-free 800-TEL-NICB (800-835-6422), texting keyword "fraud" to TIP411 (847411) or submitting a form on our website. Or, download the NICB Fraud Tips app on your iPhone or Android device.
About the National Insurance Crime Bureau: headquartered in Des Plaines, Ill., the NICB is the nation's leading not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to preventing, detecting and defeating insurance fraud and vehicle theft through data analytics, investigations, training, legislative advocacy and public awareness. The NICB is supported by more than 1,100 property and casualty insurance companies and self-insured organizations. NICB member companies wrote $350 billion in insurance premiums in 2012, or more than 78 percent of the nation's property/casualty insurance. That includes more than 93 percent ($160 billion) of the nation's personal auto insurance. To learn more visit www.nicb.org.

Mercedes-Benz logo
Enlarge PhotoCurrently, the cheapest Mercedes convertible is the E Class Cabriolet, which starts at close to $60k. A C Class convertible, which is likely to be called the C Class Cabriolet, will be priced closer to the C Class Coupe's starting price of $37,800.
Cannon made the revelation during an interview with USA Today. He also said that Mercedes would add 11 brand new models and refresh or replace 19 existing models in its U.S. lineup by 2020.
For the German automaker, the launch of the new C Class Cabriolet is part of its overall strategy to lure younger buyers to the brand by offering smaller and more affordable models. We're also going to see a new CLA Class four-door coupe positioned below the C Class range, as well as a crossover variant likely to be called the GLA Class.
Another of the new models Cannon is referring to is an extra-long version of the next-generation S Class, which will add an extra 10 inches to the wheelbase of the regular S Class and will likely be called a Pullman. It will serve as the replacement for the failed Maybach range.
Others new models are likely to include the S Class Cabriolet that we recently spied, an electric version of the B Class, as well as a BMW X6 rival based on the M Class and tipped to be called the GLS Class.
2015 Mercedes-Benz C Class spy shots
Enlarge PhotoUnderpinning the new C Class range will be Mercedes' MRA (Modular Rear-wheel Architecture) platform, which debuts next year in the new S Class. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is expected in the base model, while a V-6 and possibly new diesel and hybrid options will also be offered.
The convertible will likely be launched about one year after the sedan. While you wait for its arrival, you can view a prototype of the new C Class sedan in our previous spy video post.

Samsung Galaxy S4 India launch weirdly tries 'Gangnam Style'
A new YouTube video shows the hyped smartphone launch with a Bollywood actor performing "Gangnam Style" as "Samsung Style."
Comedic spoofs on popular songs can sometimes work, but what about if they're earnest remakes?
It appears that Samsung is testing those waters. At the launch party for its Galaxy S4 smartphone in India, one of the country's Bollywood actors, Ranveer Singh, performed "Gangnam Style" as "Samsung Style" (imagine pronouncing Samsung like Gangnam).
A video posted to YouTube shows the entire spectacle of Singh rapping and attempting the signature "Gangnam Style" dance backed by men and women in sequined outfits. But it's the lyrics that are the real kicker to the remake.
Related stories
According to the Verge, it was Samsung's India retail partner Reliance Digital that organized the launch and enlisted the Bollywood actors to perform "Samsung Style."
However, this isn't the first questionable example of Samsung's marketing. At the launch of the Galaxy S4 in New York in March, the company put together a flash mob of men in suits dancing in Times Square. This followed on the heels of a couple of curiously bland ads starring a little boy called Jeremy Maxwell.

The price of a postage stamp rose by a penny on Sunday, but few Americans noticed. Fewer and fewer of us are paying bills or sending letters by snail mail.
Overall, first-class mail fell from 102 billion pieces in 2002 to 73.5 billion pieces in 2011. The volume of first-class stamped mail dropped from 51.9 billion pieces in 2002 to 25.8 billion pieces in 2011.
Thus, the Postal Service showed a record $15.9 billion loss for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. It has lost $41 billion over five years, and exhausted its $15 billion line of credit from the U.S. Treasury.
A taxpayer bailout looms.
Congress is considering allowing the Postal Service to sell ads, ship beer and wine, and end Saturday mail delivery.
Congress needs to lighten the burden on taxpayers who don't use the service as much as it can.

New 'No Turn on Red' Signs Installed on Hempstead Turnpike
New signs are part of initiative to enhance safety on the street.
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has installed a number of new "No Turn on Red" signs on Hempstead Tpke. and other streets as part of a "multi-agency initiative to enhance safety on the street."
The signs were added recently and aim to improve pedestrian visibility and safety, according to Eileen Peters, NYSDOT Public Information Officer.
Like Merrick Patch on Facebook by clicking here.
No Turn on Red signs are currently being installed at an additional 142 locations between the Nassau/Queens border and NY Route 110 to bring the total to 232 locations.
"These NTOR signs also work in conjunction with the leading pedestrian intervals that are being installed on NY Route 24 at traffic signals to encourage motorists to yield the right of way to pedestrians, and also give pedestrians a head start in crossing a street before vehicles are given a green light to proceed," Peters said.
In 2012, a report by the Tri-State Transportation Corporation (TSTC) rated Hempstead Tpke. as the most dangerous road in the region.
A number of pedestrians have been struck crossing the street. 19-year-old Island Trees High School student Peter Thearle was killed crossing Hempstead Turnpike at Gardiners Avenue on June 6, 2011, and 16-year-old Anthony D'Alessandro was struck and killed crossing Hempstead Turnpike near Division Avenue in April of 2012.
Do you think the new No Turn on Red signs will help improve safety on the streets? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Come and stay in our beautifully converted warehouse, in a vibrant neighborhood in Brooklyn. Enjoy our expansive kitchen, bathroom, darkroom, junkyard, rooftop and more, and enjoy the company of artists and good people.
That said I myself am very passionate about my work aka busy and often the space is quite. Still a unique and awesome place from which to experience NYC......
This room is awesome! Small but compact. Made entirely from reclaimed wood, dressed with great works art. It has a wall made from frames that is a reading light. The bed is lofted and not huge. A double bed. The stair case can be seen in the photo's is made from several pieces of furniture. This room is ideal for a couple. but we are willing to let as many as four people stay in it. We would put a mattress on the floor.
" Move quickly through the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, down the main thoroughfare Eastern Parkway, past a conflicting intermingling of beautiful terraced homes and marred vacant buildings, and you could easily miss a modern cultural landmark. Hidden in plain sight, packed inside a shuffle of industrial architecture, is the wondrous workshop loft space. Some half dozen other artists and makers who call his whimsical live-in, work-in reliquary, home. "
Vice Magazine, 2011
Well I couldn't have been asked to write that myself for want of conceit, but if Dean St is not a modern cultural landmark it is certainly an interesting place to be. Starting with the simple logistics. The cute little cabin like home upstairs with all the private rooms was originally built in the 1880's. In 1915 a larger industrial brick building that makes up the living space was built and the original small home simply put on top. Then, in the 1940's the 1,000 or so square feet that make up the current work studio was built. So, there is a lot of history in these odd walls. That certainly lends charm to the insensate and almost pathological renovations I have made here. At first I was broke and no better off than a homeless person. I froze through winters and sweated out summers transforming this space into a place to gather.
There are currently five other rooms also available.
My thoughts upon arrival here in 1999 were that to start taking my work seriously I would need a space, a studio that allowed for no excuses, nothing less than perfection out of my work (we are all still waiting for that). There was a major problem with this plan and that is my wanderlust. I have it... or I had it bad, I can't tell anymore... to old, with too many ambitions and too many responsibilities to say right now. I always envisioned my place as permanent for me and transient for others. In this way I get to travel as well. I love movement and change, and I consider myself a skilled host.
The space was built for four people to live but as it turns out I have enough interesting stuff and projects for about eight people. So with four full-time residents there is simply too much stuff. My hope is to keep the energy of Dean St going while also keeping it tidier and well staged for entertaining and beautiful living. Right now I am the only one actually living here……
How should you expect to be treated? Well, you would be like a quest of a roommate. Meaning from our prospective probably someone who is interesting to know but probably also have your own agenda. We are not looking for friends but we are friendly. That said, I seem incapable of cooking for less then eight people, I got it from my mother. To be sure we are busy and just because we are in the kitchen drinking coffee staring into space it does not mean we care to discuss the weather or engage in time consuming polite rituals. We are interested in matters of consequence, actual current projects. Otherwise a simple " Good morning, is the coffee fresh or should make another pot? " , will do. Also perhaps it is important to mention that if the two available rooms are taken for 20 days out of each month we cover the rent on them. So, we are not expecting to make money off of you nor in that sense are we expecting to service you. I will make sure the towels and sheets are clean as well as the room, give you a brief tour (manual in the making) make sure you are feeling set and leave you be. You will be a quest in this odd and transformative space and we like our guests to feel at ease.
The neighborhood is rapidly transforming. Where once there were crack whores now there are baby strollers and reusable Eco-friendly shopping bags. Were once I would drink the night away with Sparkles over a couple of Night Flights (malt liquor marketed to children with Atari-esque graphics of fighter planes on it's 16oz. can) rapping about her inevitable demise, now I am asked to keep the noise down by well meaning sleepy eyed yuppies. No worries I have laid down the law here as far as that goes. We get to not worry about being loud; that said, I am not a dick nor do I rage late into the night, but if it just so happened to be on the menu for whatever reason, to be loud… it's quite alright.
You will find the area very safe and the community extremely friendly. As a new comer you should make eye contact and say hello to the people you pass sitting on stoops and gathered on corners. Again, you are the guest. If you make friends with the old men on the corner they might just invite you for a drink in the members only social club or pour you a Cranberry and Vodka out of the minivan that never moves.
As for women (because I know it's different), you should know that more women over the years have lived here than men by far. Also oddly enough Europeans always, be they women or men, feel very comfortable here. AKA, Americans just can't seem to shake that white black divide. I am as guilty as anyone else.
We are close to the A and C train which I find quite handy. Basically in all of New York regardless of the details you need an hour to get anywhere. Sometimes less, but if you can't be late that's the rule, 1 hour. Others in the area will tell you it takes 25 minutes to midtown. We are also near the 2,3 and 4,5. I have a car and sadly have not been on the subway in months, ... years. Parking is readily available and for film crews or bands coming through we have a huge 2,500 square foot junk yard that an 18-wheel truck could park in (fees may apply). The space is a half hour by train from JFK, a 20 min car ride to La Guardia and I know nothing about New Jersey. Another odd and inappropriate prejudice you will appreciate as an itinerant New Yorker, … we get to hate on New Jersey. The LIRR is just four blocks away which connects you to America's largest remaining train system, running a far north as you can imagine and I know you can get to Washington, DC beyond that I am not sure.
So aside from hating on New Jersey what else is there to do in the area? We are a nice walk to the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, The Farmer's Market. As I mentioned before gentrification has brought in a sea of Bars, sushi restaurants, authentic Oaxacan joints, extremely small and expensive Italian and French places. A few of the old dives are still around as well. In short you will not starve for want of good interesting places to pass the time close to home.
Firstly, It is a functioning multi media art studio. With a woodshop, a metal shop, a ceramic studio, a large format darkroom, a foundry, a forge. Your chances of waking up to the filming of a Beyonce video are as good as coming home in the evening to live music around a fire in the junkyard. It is alive and vital to an ever growing community of artist and creators who over the years have seen it as and seek it out as a refuge for open mindedness, experimentation, and more than anything else, space! A rare commodity in this city.
If you are a person that needs a base of operations when you travel this is the space for you. Aside from the usual washer dryer, wifi, printer, scanner,… etcetera. You also have access to a great environment for entertaining and in general feeling like you are a part of a community. With that comes the standards of sharing a space like doing your dishes but we are all adults here so that's no big deal. There is almost always something going on here, a photo shoot, a movie, a party. If you don't want to be a part of it, hang out it any one of the empty and private spaces scattered around this large compound This is a very active space to live and a special way to see one of the best cities in the world.
If you are a light sleeper chances are you will have no issues but parties can happen randomly through out the week, sometimes the shop is in use late and I can't ensure you will have a silent night, … I travel with earplugs as a rule.

Very flexible host. I was in and out. Didn't have much time to spend with the host, but was understanding. The place was a little cluttered because they were cleaning up the garage but nothing to complain about. Loved the place, location was good.
Thank you!
Interesting set-up, one of the more unusual airbnb abodes. It's like a giant warehouse with a warren of converted bedrooms surrounding the workspace. I only stayed one night and had my own agenda, so didn't chat much to Kallum and others of 'the collective' but got the impression of interesting, self-contained people who were nonetheless happy to have a chat with like-minded types. The room was chilly but a plug-in heater was provided which warmed things up nicely within a few hours. It's a small room but very imaginatively decorated; I enjoyed it.
Let's keep it short' spread the news, this is the place to stay in NYC. Kellam is very easy going, i slept really well and as said many times before : the shower is just perfect. It's a very short walk from the C line straight to manhattan. although I made an enormous mistake not to bring some Belgian beer , it would have been a pleasure to introduce those in the fridge.... Certainly going to spread the news if people look for an easy, unconventional place to stay. Thanks Kellam!
Un lieu pas comme les autres, j'y ai super biend dormi, la douche est incroyable et l'endroit super pour des rencontres insolites. Idéal our ceux qui se sentent facilement "chez soi" . Sinon, passez votre chemin... Ce lieu est bourré d'objets cueillis par ci par là, détournés et rendu utiles , j'ai vraiment adoré!
The place is as described. Inviting, communal yet comfortable, awakening of the senses and vibrant --- you will enjoy your stay in this humble and rich abode.
A funky place to stay in an edgy neighborhood. Host Kellum is a great guy. You will enjoy your stay here!
Kellam was a lovely chap. Brooklyn Arts Studio is a wonderful and unique place and very worth the experience.
This is a lovely place to stay. Full of character and in a good location in Brooklyn. Only slight issue was being woken throughout the night by an extremely loud grinding noise every couple of hours (even ear-plugs made little difference). However this stopped after the first night, and I think it may have been triggered by the high winds. Otherwise it was warm, the people were friendly and room very cosy.
Really interesting space, and very nice folks. Had a warm and cozy bed, and got to snuggle with a cat to boot.
Very convenient location, would definitely do it again!
One of the most interesting and enjoyable stays in a while. We didnt have a lot of interaction with the host or other travelers, but the space was eclectic and visually stimulating. I brought several friends in to tour the space, it was worth the trip just to stay here. Convenient and a low key happy atmosphere.
extremely cool place with extremely nice and helpful people! had a blast and hope to go back.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
The largest UK tit - green and yellow with a striking glossy black head with white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song. It is a woodland bird which has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor. It can be quite aggressive at a birdtable, fighting off smaller tits. In winter it joins with blue tits and others to form roaming flocks which scour gardens and countryside for food.

Seth Masket points out one more reason to be worried about the 2012 election:
It seems fair to say that the economy will not be roaring again any time soon, meaning that Obama will at best win by a squeaker. If it dips back into recession, he's toast. Most likely, it will end up just being a really competitive and interesting race on par with 2004.
Last night, closing his assertive speech on the American Jobs Act, President Obama made a promise. "This plan is the right thing to do right now, and you should pass it," he said to the joint session of Congress, "And I intend to take that message to every corner of this country."
Veteran TV newsman Dave Marash reports in the Columbia Journalism Review that television news operations, both cable and network, have been turning away from prepared video packages:
Remember Glenn Beck? For a while there he was the most talked-about media figure in the country, his mug shouting from magazine covers as he channeled the particular brand of crazy that had seized the Republican party. His unhinged conspiracy theories and venomous hatred for Barack Obama were perfectly in tune with what a significant portion of the country was feeling; his books shot up the best-seller list, his Fox News show got great ratings, and everyone was talking about him.
Perhaps the most telling moment in last night's GOP debate was the crowd twice cheering the 234 executions Rick Perry has presided over. This would be grotesque enough if this high rate of executions was the product of a scrupulous criminal justice system.
As Patrick Caldwell mentioned already, of all eight candidates at last night's GOP debate, it was Rick Perry who sickened many progressives when he defended his record on the death penalty:
"In the state of Texas, if you come into our state and you kill one of our children, you kill a police officer, you're involved with another crime and you kill one of our citizens, you will face the ultimate justice in the state of Texas, and that is, you will be executed."
At the moment, many liberals are looking at the abysmal economy and saying to themselves, "It'll be OK. Rick Perry is an extremist nut, and once people learn that, he'll never win a majority." He'll be the next Barry Goldwater or George McGovern, nominees just too far out of the mainstream for the American electorate to stomach. Jonathan Bernstein says don't be so sure:
Last night's Republican presidential debate featured an interesting exchange about health care -- I haven't been able to locate a transcript, but the gist was that Rick Perry was asked why Texas has the highest rate of people with no health insurance in the country (over a quarter of Texans have no insurance), and he responded that it was the federal government's fault, because they aren't giving states enough "flexibility" in Medicaid.
The Bachmann campaign announced over the weekend that campaign manager Ed Rollins would be vacating that role and assume the more auxiliary position of "senior advisor." Rollins' health was cited as the explanation for the move. Though it does seem possible that the daily grind of a campaign could get to a 68-year-old, it looks like there was more going on in this case, as Rollins' deputy and ally David Polyansky left the campaign on the same day.
This, from the front page of the Drudge Report, is just unambiguously racist:
Get it? Because black people are lazy, shiftless moochers, they are naturally ecstatic about President Obama's forthcoming push for renewed payroll tax cuts and unemployment insurance.
On a related note, a July survey from the Pew Research Center found a large uptick in the Republican Party's standing with white voters, from a modest lead of 46 percent to 44 percent in 2008 to this year's gulf of 52 percent to 39 percent, a 13-point difference.
We'd all agree that our politics would function better if conservatives and progressives could understand each other's point of view better, instead of simply vilifying one another. In that spirit, I'd like to offer a window into the way we on the left think on one particular issue -- and particularly, what we think about what you think -- in the hopes that it will give our conservative readers (and I know you're there, since some of you take to the comments to tell me that I'm a stupid lying despicable America-hater) some perspective.
Before we get into this post about polling in the presidential race, please understand that I'm not saying that anything we're seeing today predicts what will happen next November. With that out of the way, let me point out something interesting.
A.G. Sulzberger has a good article about about recent federal court decisions preventing various radical anti-abortion and anti-immigration measures passed by Tea Party-dominated legislatures from going into effect. Particularly interesting are the injunctions against measures like South Dakota's three-day waiting period for women seeking abortions and the onerous Kansas regulations designed to cause two of the state's three abortion providers to close. These regulations go beyond the regulations upheld in Planned Parenthood v.
Conservatives assure the poor that the health of their souls demands they go hungry.
The presidential race may be where the glamour is, but it's not where liberals can build power.
A former colleague of George Tiller's had her medical license revoked by Governor Sam Brownback's health board. Now a court says she can get it back.
As on most things religious, the United States is an outlier.
John McCain accuses other Republicans of being insufficiently Reaganish, despite what Ronald Reagan actually was.

The Operation has been modified as per Budget Revision 4 (see below)
Over the past few decades, Uganda has experienced the damaging effects of recurrent natural disasters, civil conflict within its borders and political instability in neighbouring countries. Increasingly frequent droughts and ongoing violence in the Karamoja sub-region of northeastern Uganda have rendered many of its inhabitants unable to provide for their immediate needs. A civil war fought across the Acholi, Teso and Lango sub-regions in the north has left 940,000 people displaced in camps and transit sites. Instability in the Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has led 187,000 refugees to seek asylum in the West Nile and Southwest sub-regions of western Uganda. Over 900,000 people were affected by drought or floods in 2007.
The budget revision for the Uganda protracted relief and recovery operation (PRRO 101213) 'Protracted Relief for Internally Displaced Persons and Refugees' is proposed to: expand geographically the general food distributions and nutrition activities to extremely vulnerable people in Karamoja. These vulnerable people were previously supported under the emergency operation (EMOP 108110), which ended in December 2010;
However, there are now potential opportunities for resolving some of these long-standing crises. The initiation of peace talks between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda in 2006 has rekindled hope for a resolution to the conflict and to the predicament of internally displaced people in camps. The signing of the Sudan Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2005 has likewise increased the prospect that Sudanese refugees in West Nile may be able to return home.
In response to this changing context, the Government launched its Peace, Recovery and Development Plan to mobilize human and financial resources to the conflict-affected areas in October 2007. The Plan provides a framework for the efforts of the humanitarian community and has specific provisions for humanitarian assistance and recovery activities. An evaluation of protracted relief and recovery operation 10121.1 and the findings of emergency food security assessments have confirmed the continued importance of food assistance in the crisis-affected areas. Therefore, the overall goal of the new operation is to support the Government's efforts to provide life-saving relief and help food-insecure households make the transition, where possible, to greater self-reliance in a manner consistent with the unique challenges and opportunities of each location. In pursuing these ends, WFP will give the highest priority to saving lives through relief.
To meet relief requirements, WFP and its partners will provide food assistance to crisis-affected populations on the basis of assessed need. To assist in the transition to self-sufficiency, they will support the re-establishment of household livelihoods and the strengthening of community services (such as education, health and nutrition), infrastructure and natural resources. The food rations provided for these activities will meet the net food gap of the populations. These relief and recovery efforts will be handed over through the development of the capacity of the Government and other partners. The activities are consistent with WFP Strategic Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and Millennium Development Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. However, the success of the activities will depend upon continued positive political developments in Uganda and neighbouring countries.

Nanomedicine, or nanotechnology applied to medical problems, in the future, is expected to offer solutions on early diagnosis, "smart" treatments, and the triggering of self-healing mechanisms. Artificial nanostructures, such as nanoparticles and nanodevices, similar sized biological entities, can readily interact with biomolecules on both the cell surface and within the cell. Nanomedical developments range from nanoparticles for molecular diagnostics, imaging, and therapy to integrated medical nanosystems, which may perform complex repair actions at the cellular level inside the body in the future. The European Strategic Research Agenda identifies four future research priorities in the nanomedicine field: i) nanotechnology-based diagnostics; ii) nanotechnology-based imaging; iii) targeted drug delivery and release; and, iv) regenerative medicine. The lectures, with Portuguese and foreign researchers active on this field, will try to give the participants a thorough overview of the latest infor on these four topics, and will be complemented with practical sessions on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and "force spectroscopy," using the equipment available at IMM.

An Excerpt from Hell's Angel
While on the run from Rurales in Mexico, Lou Prophet stops at the familiar desert town of Chisos Springs. Except now it's called Moon's Well. And it appears that more than the name has changed. It's being controlled by the scoundrel Mordecai Moon, who even charges people for water. Lou Prophet won't stand for such shady business, but he's never made an enemy like Mordecai... When Mordecai has Lou beaten and sends him into the blazing desert tied over his horse, matters go from bad to personal. Rescued by an old friend and business partner, Lou is ready to end Mordecai's reign of terror. And with the outlaw's own girlfriend straddling sides, Lou will make sure he goes out with a bang. |

All three sophomore halls have two men per dorm room. Other housing options available for sophomores include St. Benet Hall which is attached to the Quadrangle Building (Quad), St. Joseph Hall (Joe Hall), St. Gregory House (Greg), St. Francis House (Frank), the Virgil Michel Apartments, and the first floor of Tommy. All of these are separate from the other three sophomore dorm halls. There are also housing options for juniors and seniors to live on campus, including the apartments Placid House, Maur House, Saint Vincent Court, Metten Court and the new Flynntown Apartments.[7]
First-year women at the College of Saint Benedict live in three residence halls: Corona, Aurora, and Regina.

Cross Country[edit]
After opening the season with wins in each of their first three meets, the Blazer cross country team finished the season with a fifth place tally at the MIAC Championships, and a sixth place tally at the Central Regional, finishing just a spot away from a NCAA Championship bid. At the Regional, Kelsie Larson and Cathleeen Gross each earned All-Region honors with their top-35 finishes.

In 2012-13, the Blazers played five of their first nine games against teams ranked or receiving votes in the USCHO.com DIII Top-10 poll, going 1-2-2. At season's end the Blazers finished with a 5-13-4 overall record, with a 3-13-2 mark in the MIAC, finishing two spots ahead of their prediction in the preseason poll. In the 2013-2014 season, the Blazers beat a nationally ranked team for the first time under head coach Jennifer Kranz. The Blazers upset the Gustavus Golden Gusties not once, but twice to complete a series sweep. This landmark for the Blazers ended the 30-game MIAC winning streak for the Gusties and their first MIAC sweep in MIAC play since 2003-2004. These pair of victories were also the first time in the College of St. Benedict women's hockey history that the Blazers defeated the Gusties. [14] The Gusties were ranked 7th in the USCHO national poll until swept by the Blazers. [15]
In his fourth season at the helm, head coach Steve Kimble led the Blazers to their third straight appearance in the MIAC playoffs.

United Way's Day of Caring is an annual event that celebrates volunteerism throughout the communities it serves. This year, it will be held on Friday, August 23rd. Lake Area United Way will be hosting a special volunteer activity during the Day of Caring. This event, known as "Pack-a-Palooza", will focus on providing food for residents who are experiencing hunger locally. "Thanks to the generous support and partnership with Strack & Van Til, BP and Kids Against Hunger, we will be able to bring over 180 volunteers together to pack 50,000 meals in 3 hours to give to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana for distribution, " said Lou Martinez, President/CPO of Lake Area United Way. "It's a rewarding and effective way for the community to join the fight against hunger."
Pack-a-Palooza will begin at 9:30 at the Radisson Ballroom in Merrillville, and will anchor the kick off of the 2013-2014 Community Campaign. "The Campaign allows for so much to be accomplished, right here in our communities. Last year alone, over 170,000 lives were positively and directly affected as a result of the generosity of region residents and the success of workplace campaigns," said John Kennedy, Chairman of the 2013-2014 LAUW Community Campaign and Director of Business Development for American Structurepoint Inc. "Our goal for the Campaign this year is to engage 1,000 new donors and volunteers to join United Way's efforts to advance the common good in our communities," said Kennedy. "Kicking-off the Campaign at Pack-a-Palooza highlights our emphasis on increased volunteerism. It's a reminder that everyone can play a part, and be part of the change."

To Whom It May Concern:We are deeply disturbed and angered by the prevalence of "bear baiting" in this country. As you may know, bear baiting involves tying a declawed and detoothed bear to a pole while dogs take turns ripping into its flesh and an audience cheers on. The bear is completely helpless and oftentimes dies slowly and horribly. This type of blood sport is beyond cruel; a large and beautiful animal like a bear should not tortured for the violent entertainment of people.More information from Wikipedia:"Bear baiting has been occurring in the Punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan, since 2004.[6] The events are organized predominantly by local warlords who own the fighting dogs.
During the event the bear will be tethered to a rope 2–5 metres long in the centre of an arena to prevent escape.[7] Bears' canine teeth are often removed and their claws may be filed down giving them less advantage over the dogs. Each fight lasts around three minutes. If the dogs pull the bear to the ground they are said to win the fight. Bears usually have to undergo several fights during each day's event."

We ask you to crack down on this terrible event and protect this species from such a needless fate. We cannot encourage the slaughter of animals as entertainment. It's criminal, unethical, and irresponsible. Please enact legislation immediately to persecute bear baiters and end the illegal poaching of bears.Thank you.Sincerely,United Front of Friends of Animals
