Young cancer researcher receives international award
Award winner Jamaica Cass
A Queen's student is the only Canadian university recipient of this year's Minority Scholar in Cancer Research Awards. The award, presented by the American Association of Cancer Research, will pay for Jamaica Cass, a masters student in Microbiology and Immunology, to attend the AACR's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
"I was pretty happy, and so was my supervisor," says Ms Cass of the award, which is intended to enhance the education and training of minority researchers, and increase the visibility and recognition of minorities involved in cancer research. Ms Cass' extended family belongs to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.
Ms Cass was also the only Canadian invited to speak at a symposium for undergraduate cancer researchers at the event – a symposium she herself took part in as an undergraduate. She will have the opportunity to discuss her training and career goals with other young cancer researchers.
Under the supervision of Bruce Elliott and Leda Raptis, Ms Cass' current research focuses on breast cancer. She's also in the process of transferring to a PhD program in a cancer research stream here at Queen's, with the intention of going to medical school after she graduates.
Ms Cass prefers a "bench to bedside" approach that allows her to interact with patients.
"I like to see how what I do impacts patients, and how I can help them," she says. "I really like being around people."
Scholars are chosen based on their qualifications, references from mentors, and an estimation of the professional benefit to the recipients.
The AACR handed out 25 Minority Scholar awards, which are sponsored by the National Cancer Institute's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. The meeting – the biggest cancer conference in the world – runs from April 17-21. More than 17,000 participants are expected to attend.

For years, wireless technologies have only shown up in many U.S. hospitals in the form of rolling computers with Wi-Fi network access, but as evidenced at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital, times are changing.
Like many other medical care facilities, the 750-bed hospital located just north of Chicago's Loop district has struggled over the last decade to find ways to push wireless devices and applications deeper into its operations without causing undo headaches for its workers, patients, and IT infrastructure.
Under a new effort aimed at re-architecting its internal network and using a handful of technologies built by GE Healthcare, hospital executives say the institution is finally appreciating many new caregiving and patient support opportunities that untethered access has long promised to deliver.
The hospital's urban location has made it difficult in years past simply to get a reliable wireless phone signal, said Chuck Colander, director of the Chief Technology Office at Northwestern Memorial.
By working directly with the five individual mobile service providers that cover its geographical area and using an integrated wireless platform sold by GE under the product name Carescape Enterprise Access, Colander said that the facility is finally getting its calls through -- as well as adopting new telemetry applications for medical devices and preparing to tap into wireless VoIP.
"Wireless is obviously nothing new in health care, but we've been severely limited in the past in terms of what we could offer to support our mobile caregivers and patients," Colander said. "We've never even had a strong signal in the building, so as we started on our campus development program, we needed something denser to prepare for a future that involves handheld devices and broadband technologies, not just for our workforce but also for patients."
One of the greatest benefits of program thus far has been Northwestern Memorial's work to bring wireless telemetry, or monitoring, onto more of its floors, said the IT executive.
Whereas only a few of the hospital's rooms were previously capable of allowing for the technologies -- used in portable heart monitors and other measurement equipment -- now the institution has much greater flexibility as to where it can locate patients who need such devices and in allowing those patients to move about its halls with greater freedom.
The difference between having patients physically tied to certain rooms in the facility versus the gaining freedom to move them or let them move themselves around the hospital is a huge advantage, he said.
"In the previous scenario, when people were attached to one of these devices, they essentially couldn't move without being disconnected or having someone carry the unit, but by being able to expand coverage and be more flexible, we've been able to increase capacity by threefold," said Colander. "We can also monitor patients while they move throughout the building, which is a tremendous boost to the overall quality of care and patient experience."
The expanded wireless coverage has also made it possible for patients and their families to stay better in touch using mobile phones, an important capability in light of the fact that people are often moved between different rooms as their care evolves, according to the executive.

PHOENIX (AP) -- US Airways says one of its planes flying from Las Vegas to Charlotte, N.C., has been diverted to Phoenix after the crew reported fumes in the cabin.
An airline spokesman says paramedics tended to six crew members and a passenger after the Airbus A321 landed at Sky Harbor International Airport.
A fire official says one passenger was taken to a hospital. He says he has no information about that person's medical condition.
There's no indication what caused the reported fumes.
Passengers were being put on other flights to continue their journeys.

Erica Jones had punched a kid - sent him flying across the lunchroom - when she was referred to CORRAL, a program that uses rescued horses to help rescue adolescent girls.
At age 12, Erica was living in a Raleigh hotel room with her mother and three younger siblings; her father had abandoned the family. She was hurting, and she was angry.
All of which is hard to believe as you listen to the rising sixth-grader with corn rows chattering away, while brushing down the haunches of a massive mare and dispensing pearls of equine insight.
"When their ears are back, that can mean they don't like what you're doing - or there's a fly."
"Don't get scared, because if you get scared, the horse gets scared, too, and might trample you."
"Bailey has one eye, and he's stubborn - like me sometimes."
Erica is one of a handful of girls referred to CORRAL by the courts, the police, mental-health providers or, in her case, school officials. A bulletin board in a private office of the nonprofit's farmhouse shows the issues the organization is up against: abuse, neglect, suicidal thoughts, self-cutting, overly sexualized behavior, stealing, drug use. There's trouble at home; there's trouble at school. Some of the girls are from solid families; others have state-assigned guardians.
With lives in free fall, the girls come to CORRAL to learn to control a horse - and to control themselves - amid chaos.
"This is more than just a horseback-riding program; this is a life-changing program," said Joy Currey, the 34-year-old founder of CORRAL, which began accepting girls last fall. "That's a big hairy audacious goal."
For Erica, though, it is a reality.
"Erica was raging when she started going out to the farm earlier this year," said Joyce Jones, her mother. "She was acting out. She was so upset about her father. Now she's made her peace with it. She's calm. She is happy."
A mirror with a mane
Currey grew up on theCORRAL farmland, near Kildaire Farm Road and TenTen. The acres are pastoral yet barely a stone's throw from suburban Cary. The nearby intersection boasts a strip mall with a Dunkin' Donuts and a Subway.
The land was donated by Currey's father, an alfalfa breeder, after she and her husband returned to North Carolina several years ago. Currey had been an instructor for Teach for America in inner-city Philadelphia and then helped found a highly successful charter school in New York City.
During those exciting but challenging years, she bought a horse named Chester.
"He was my oasis," Currey said. "I thought, what if my kids could come out here every day and experience that calm as well."
Currey knew from experience that horses can be a comfort - but they are also highly attuned to human behavior.
"They act as mirrors to whatever the humans around them do and feel," she said. "One day, one of the girls was here, and she was upset and angry, so Giselle [one of the horses] was upset and uncooperative, too."
As they try to get through to the horses, the girls experience how their own emotional state affects another's.
Danley Shepherd, 14, arrived at CORRAL with no real desire to interact with horses. She had never ridden one - "unless you count riding a pony in a circle at the fair." And she was understandably nervous when she first approached Rebel, Currey's first horse from childhood, the massive dean of the CORRAL stable.
But the animal, with all his quirks and obstinate ways, was clear in his communication. He was honest.
"The horses tell you how they feel," Danley said. "They're always real with you."
When she started the program, Danley was living in a group home; she has since been reunited with family.
Catharine Govan's parents were at wit's end when she was accepted to CORRAL.
"There was nothing we could threaten to take away that would get her attention," said Mindy Govan of Cary. "We could take away everything, even her bed, and she wouldn't care."
Then Catharine met the horses and forged an immediate bond. She would do anything to preserve her time with the horses.
"It was the carrot we'd been looking for," Govan said.
Each girl receives an hour of academic tutoring daily, even during the summer. Currey and her staff have access to the girls' SPAN accounts at school, so they know when homework is or isn't being done. They know when grades are slipping. They also stay in regular contact with the schools, as well as with parents, guardians and referring agencies.
'A lifesaver'
There are consequences for falling short. A child in in-school suspension gets to come to the farm but doesn't get to work with the horses.
"It used to be that Catharine would get after-school detention, and she didn't care," Govan said. "Now it means she can't go to the farm. ... CORRAL has been a lifesaver for her and for us."
Tim Montgomery, chief court counselor with the state Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, said CORRAL meets a need that, sadly, is growing in North Carolina. The state, he said, is following a national trend of more teenage girls joining their male counterparts in trouble with the law.
"I wish it were an easy thing to figure out the one thing that will get an individual child's attention," he said. "Parents sometimes think, 'Well, the judge should get their attention.' But we can't lock our way out of some of these problems."
Of course, it's not the strong, silent horses that make CORRAL work.
Currey and a small army of 150 volunteers train the girls in horsemanship but also act as mentors in unstable lives. "We are the people they call at 9 p.m. when their boyfriend breaks up with them or they have a fight at home," Currey said.
Along the way, the girls build friendships with one another, often while doing their required chores. They assist one another shoveling poop, sponging down a horse, running the vacuum, loading the dishwasher.
Six girls now participate in the fledgling program, but that number will double this fall, thanks to a grant from the state Juvenile Crime Prevention Council.
Stacie Williamson, a foster care social worker for Wake Human Services who has referred two girls to CORRAL, gives the credit to Currey's focus. "I'm just super amazed at what Joy's been able to provide in such a short time."
Currey tends to deflect the glory onto Rebel, Giselle, Ozzie and Bailey, the horses. Most of them came to her after having been abused or neglected, and on some level the girls connect with that.
"That you can ask a 500- or 1,000-pound animal to do something - and they do it -is a remarkably powerful feeling," she said.

The Federal EPA Thursday began clean-up of massive illegal dump site on Cleveland's East side. The clean-up follows a Carl Monday investigation into a rogue rubbish hauler named Chris Gattarello. According to court records, Gattarello is responsible for the tens of thousands tons of garbage that has been sitting at the old ACME site on Kirby Ave. for years.
The EPA is now removing some of the trash before turning its attention to asbestos removal on Kirby.
Gattarello was also accused, but cleared in housing court, of dumping tons of garbage at a warehouse on Wayside Ave. He's also under investigation by the FBI involving a multi-million dollar rubbish hauling deal in Louisiana.
Gattarello refused comment when questioned by Carl Monday.
Phase one of the Kirby clean-up could take more than a month.
It's unclear who will pay for it.

The Diamondbacks won on Wednesday night in walkoff fashion, coming from a 4-0 deficit to win 6-5 over the Marlins on a bloop single by Justin Upton. It was Arizona's 14th win in their last 16 games and in doing so, they maintained a half-game lead over the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
How is Arizona doing this? They don't have a single .300 hitter in their lineup and other than Upton, no one on their team is having anything close to an outstanding hitting season. Two of their Opening Day starting rotation members, Armando Galarraga and Barry Enright, are now toiling in Triple-A, and a third, Joe Saunders, has an ERA approaching 5.
They've got good bullpen production -- far better than last year's NL-worst -- and Josh Collmenter has helped solidify their rotation with his unorthodox pitching motion (and 1.34 ERA and only four walks in 36.1 innings).But can they keep this up all season and hold off the defending champion Giants?

Sitting down to watch a film or TV show based on a Stephen King novel is a triumph of hope over experience. The strength of his writing — powerful characterizations achieved through extensive interior monologue — is difficult to translate to the screen, and for every success like Carrie there are half a dozen hacky B-pictures like Firestarter and Maximum Overdrive.
So Under The Dome, the 13-episode CBS summer-series adaptation of King's 2009 novel, should be approached with caution. But based on the pilot episode — with its taut script, strong performances and special effects that are impressive without being overwhelming — there's hope that Under The Dome might measure up to its unsettling print progenitor.
Like many of King's works, Under The Dome is a kind of Our Town (or perhaps its trashy Pepsi Generation cousin, Peyton Place) driven berserk by super- or supranatural forces. In this case, the rural Maine village of Chester's Mill finds itself abruptly enclosed by an invisible and apparently indestructible dome.
Birds, bullets and airplanes bounce off it. So do sound waves and electricity, leaving Chester's Mill dark and isolated — ominous conditions only exacerbated by the fact that most town officials, police and firefighters were off at a parade in a neighboring town when the dome dropped.
It's a perfect environment for the town's secrets, big and small, to fester.
The backslapping bonhomie of councilman Big Jim Rennie (Dean Morris, the bemused DEA agent in Breaking Bad) peels away to reveal something more foreboding. His son, Junior (stage actor Alexander Koch), the town bully, begins a baleful pursuit of an unrequited love.
Newspaper editor Julia Shumway (Rachelle Lefevre, What About Brian?) realizes she's missed a big story in her own family. And whatever drifter Dale Barbara (Mike Vogel, Bates Motel) was doing in town, it wasn't wholesome.
Under The Dome, however, aims to be much more than the sum of its characters' personal demons. Both King (who, along with Stephen Spielberg, gets an executive producer credit, though in both cases the title probably has more to do with finances than creative control) and writer-producer Brian K. Vaughan are interested in a broader political statement about the twin impulses of anarchism and fascism. How Chester's Mill fills the power vacuum created by its sudden isolation is at least as important as the town's efforts to free itself from the dome.
Those efforts are fraught with paranoia, as theories about space aliens and secret government experiments run rampant (The drifter Barbara is skeptical that the government could have designed the dome – "because it works.")
That gives Under The Dome a whiff of Cold War apocalyptic fiction that is underscored by the weirdly anachronistic 1950s streak running through the show. Leather-jacketed juvenile delinquents. Fallout shelters, Dialogue peppered with words like "egghead." And surely Chester Mills' radio station is the last one in the United States to be playing its music on turntables that spin vinyl records. I sure hope those cops are on the lookout for teenage werewolves.

Title: Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage
Author: Stephanie Coontz
Publisher: Viking

• Demonstrates that when marriage is based upon love & free choice, it's both happier and more likely to end

• History of marriage, from the earliest information we have down through today

• Argues that marriage has changed dramatically in recent years and we need to come to terms with that
Book Review
Stephanie Coontz is perhaps Americas foremost researcher on the history of marriage and family. Her earlier books helped dispel many of the myths about families which people even today insist on clinging to; for such people, its unlikely that historical facts will change their minds because the myths provide structure to their understanding of the world.
Her book on marriage, Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage, will likely surprise everyone. Conservatives try to defend a conception of traditional marriage as if it has always existed; liberals tend to act as though there is no serious crisis in the institution of marriage today. Coontz argues that they are both wrong.
Her argument is pretty straightforward and simple. For most of human history, marriage was about economics, social relationships, property, and producing children. Through marriage, families united and social relationships between tribes or powerful interests were solidified. Through marriage, individuals found it easier to survive by dividing work and combining resources. Through marriage, the control of property and authority was institutionalized.
Notice that there is nothing in any of this about love. Its not as though people never fell in love they did, and sometimes even with their spouses if they were lucky. Marriage was not about love, though, and it was very rare for anyone to marry for the sake of love. It was far more normal to marry for more prosaic reasons and maintain a love on the side.
Things began to change in the wake of the Enlightenment, though, when ideas about personal autonomy began to take hold. If people had the liberty to make choices about who would govern them, why not also about whom they would marry and spend their lives with?
Of course, the intrusion of love into marriage took a long time, even longer than the intrusion of popular sovereignty into politics, but we can observe the growth of the power of love through changes in how people regulated marriage, divorce, and the various ways men and women interacted. Stephanie Coontz traces these developments from ancient cultures through the 20th century, culminating in the traditional marriage of the 1950s which conservatives today look back so fondly upon.
Ideals about marriage in the 1950s didnt pop out of nowhere and they didnt exist solely in the 1950s, so what conservatives are focusing upon isnt just a product of that decade as many liberals may assume. On the other hand, all of those ideals didnt come together at the same time until that decade so marriage as conservatives seem to understand it didnt fully exist until then. The idea of marriage now was to love, be loved, grow as a person, and live happily ever after.
Theres just one problem: when the creation of a marriage is dependent upon personal choice and feelings, its no longer possible to insist that marriage continue when choice and feelings change. Thus, this traditional marriage was doomed to fly apart sooner or later. Not all marriages are happy. Not all people are suited for marriage, or at least for marriage with the person they wed, and so not all marriages can survive. The growth of divorce was inevitable.
There is a crisis in marriage the problems we see today are unprecedented after millennia of social stability, but they are unavoidable because of how we conceive of the nature of marriage today. This crisis cant be solved in the way conservatives want without changing our conception of marriage, but whos willing to say that people should stop marrying for love and stop evaluating their marriages on the basis of how much they love their mate and how fulfilled they are in their relationship? Successful marriages are better now than successful marriages in the past; part of the cost is allowing unhappy marriages to dissolve.

Never say never
By Michael Van Sickler
Published on Tuesday, October 16th, 2007 at 4:34 p.m.
The word "never" begs reporters to find an exception to prove the statement false.
On the face of it, there are exceptions to this ironclad claim. The Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan research group that tracks money in politics, found that Edwards accepted $14,900 from employees at lobbying firms through June. In 2004, records show that Edwards received $30,630 from lobbying employees, and in 2002, he took in $4,700 from that group.
While those numbers pale in comparison to other top-tier candidates -- Hillary Clinton received $427,950 from lobbyists, McCain $287,150 -- they still contradict Trippi's comment.
Or seem, too. The spokesman for the center, Massie Ritsch, said those figures include lobbyist donors to Edwards that actually are registered to lobby at the state or local level.
Colleen Murray, an Edwards campaign spokeswoman, said the claim is 100 percent true because most of the names flagged by the center were state lobbyists, not federal.
That distinction is an important one to Edwards. When his campaign says Edwards accepts no lobbyist money, they mean only federal lobbyists, not lobbyists registered elsewhere.
"The people who are federal lobbyists are paid to influence federal lawmakers," said Colleen Murray, an Edwards spokeswoman. "You get into the area where somebody's offering their support to get something down the road."
State lobbyists don't count, Murray said, "because we're not running for state government."
If this sounds familiar, it is. Sen. Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat, has made similar claims about his aversion to federal lobbyist money, while defending his right to collect cash from other influence-seekers.
The Federal Election Commission and Ritsch both vouch for the claim this year that Edwards doesn't take money from Political Action Committees. But according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Edwards did get $2,000 in PAC money in 2004. Of course, out of a total of $33-million he raised that year, what's $2,000?
"In the grand scheme of things, I wouldn't even mention it," said Ritsch.
To weed out Washington lobbyists, the campaign requires donors to check a box declaring that they're not federal lobbyists. In addition, campaign staff cross-checks donor names with the federal lobbying registry. If they see a match, they'll return the donation.
It's not perfect. For instance, the campaign returned $3,700 in July after the Associated Press found that lobbyists had contributed. The AP later reported that of 25,000 individual donations recorded in finance reports, 8,400 didn't name their occupation. The Charlotte Observer found four contributors in September that were Washington lobbyists who hadn't received refunds. Subsequently, the Edwards campaign refunded those, too.
The AP reported in 2004 that Edwards accepted thousands from individuals or groups registered to lobby in Washington, or their spouses or children.
Murray said the campaign is taking precautions this year, but it can be difficult —and in some cases unfair — to prevent relatives of lobbyists from giving.
"That's a real gray area," she said. "Who's to say that a lobbyist's wife who is a school teacher and wants to give shouldn't be allowed to do so?"
Some power players are not registered lobbyists, but advise their clients on how to talk to federal officials about policy issues. Obama, for instance, has taken their contributions.
For example, Tom Daschle, the former Senate Majority Leader, who endorsed Obama and contributed to his campaign, is a consultant -- not a registered lobbyist -- working with Alston & Bird, a business firm that earned nearly $7.1 million from lobbying in 2006. Obama has received tens of thousands of dollars from other partners in the same firm.
Another exception for both candidates: While lobbyists are shunned, special interests aren't.
Edwards leads all candidates through June in contributions from lawyers, receiving $6.6-million. Aren't lawyers, including the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, lobbyists?
"Sure they're lobbyists," Ritsch said. "Just because you're not a federally registered lobbyist doesn't mean you don't want something in return. If candidates for office returned every dollar from people who wanted something from them, they wouldn't have any money left."
But the Edwards campaign is sticking to its claim.
As Trippi told Chris Matthews: "Trial lawyers, teachers, they may hire lobbyists. But they don't lobby. The lobbyists are the people who have to register as lobbyists."

Cojo's new book highlights
his kidney experience
Then, reality bit. Hard. Having had high blood pressure since his 20s, Cojo dragged his exhausted self to a doctor, who after tests told his famous patient to get to a specialist fast; there was something seriously wrong with this kidneys. "Kidneys" Cojo shouted in horror. "Do I even have kidneys? What do they do?"
What they were doing was failing fast, due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. That's when he began a two year odyssey. He received a kidney from his best friend. But his body rejected it only three months later. After six difficult months on dialysis, a desperate Cojo asked his adored mother for a kidney. It is Amelia Cojocaru's kidney that has allowed her son to return to health.
He has brought with him a harrowing and hilarious memoir, Glamour Interrupted, How I became the Best-Dressed Patient in Hollywood. Cojo, who lives in Beverly Hills with his beloved Maltese, Stinky, wants his kidney brethren to know they aren't alone, that it's a pain in the patisserie to keep medications and diet requirements straight, that mood swings from steroids make patients puff up and lash out. But he also wants them to see firsthand - tune into ET or The Insider for living proof - that kidney disease doesn't have to define or confine the person who has it. Beyond ridding kidney disease of its "C-list status," he adds defiantly, "I'm going to make kidney disease the new black!"
Schtick aside, Cojo is serious about raising the profile of kidney disease and plans to work with the National Kidney Foundation to spread the word about the importance of routine doctor visits, blood tests and early detection. Understandably, he also is passionate about promoting organ donation. "When a transplant goes well, you are committed to taking care of yourself and the organ you were lucky enough to receive," he says. "That's what I'm doing. Living!"
Cojo is excited to be working with the National Kidney Foundation to spread the life-saving message about risk factors and the importance of early detection.
Jack Fassnacht, two time kidney transplant recipient and former chairman of the National Kidney Foundation's transAction Council, has written a warm and insightful book review. To read it, CLICK HERE.

WEST CHESTER Ś The Montgomery County woman at the center of a prison sexual assault case and subsequent federal lawsuit told a Chester County Court judge Wednesday that she is not a criminal, even though she has four drunk driving arrests.
ōI am not a bad person,ö said the 37-year-old woman before she was sentenced by Judge David Bortner on a probation violation stemming from a 2012 DUI arrest in Skippack. ōI donÆt feel like a criminal, even though IÆm in jail with people who steal and do all sorts of bad things.
ōThe whole situation stinks,ö said the woman, whose name is being withheld because of the nature of the charges filed against a correctional officer at Chester County Prison who had sex with her on two occasions at the Pocopson facility.
Bortner, although crediting the woman for having voluntarily entered into two alcohol rehabilitation facilities following her arrest in September, nevertheless sentenced her to 11Į- to 23-months in county prison for the probation violation.
He also placed her on two more years of county-supervised probation. The woman still faces sentencing for the DUI arrest in Montgomery County.
ōThis is not a simple case,ö Bortner said. He said he agreed with the recommendation from the adult probation officer overseeing her case and the prosecution that she deserved additional prison time, but not the state sentence of one to two years suggested by probation officer Wendy Baigis.
Assistant District Attorney Max OÆKeefe, who handled the violation hearing, said that the woman deserved a stiff sentence because of the nature of her most recent DUI. OÆKeefe, coincidentally, was the prosecutor who was assigned to the case of the corrections officer charged with having sex with the woman while she was at the prison in 2011.
ōShe went on to commit a crime that is far more egregiousö than her 2010 DUI, driving with her 8-year-old son in the car, OÆKeefe argued. ōShe got a break (in 2010), the benefit of the doubt. But no longer does (she) deserve the benefit of the doubt.ö
She was charged with DUI in New Mexico in 2002 and 2003, and then arrested in November 2009 for DUI by Westtown-East Goshen police.
Although Bortner said he was not taking into account the facts of the case involving the prison sexual assault in his sentence, the womanÆs attorney laid the blame for her recent DUI charge on that incident.
ōShe was actually raped by a guard at the prison,ö said defense attorney Martin P. Mullaney. ōShe basically never recovered from that trauma.ö She stopped taking medication for a bipolar disorder and instead ōself-medicatedö with alcohol. Although she knew she had problems with drinking, she nevertheless took a full-time job at a Montgomery County bar, he said.
Following her arrest in September, she went through a 14-day detox program and then stayed at an alcohol rehabilitation facility for two more months.
ōShe is better today than I have ever seen her,ö Mullaney told Bortner. ōBut she did suffer a real trauma, and we are not going to do her any good by shipping her off to Muncie,ö one of the stateÆs two prisons for female inmates.
The woman, wearing a brown sweater and jeans, told Bortner that she had suffered from alcohol dependency for years, and that the disease ran in her family. ōThis has been an ongoing struggle for me. Alcohol is like a pillow for me. It makes me feel good.ö
MullaneyÆs contention that the woman was forced to have sex while in prison is at odds with a police description of the events that took place, and by the county in its response to the civil rights lawsuit the woman filed against the prison, Warden Edward McFadden, and the man who admitted having sex with her, Dale Guyer.
In her suit, filed in October in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the Graterford resident claims that she was forced into having ōunwanted sexö with Guyer on two occasions while she was in the prison in 2010, and that as a result she suffered emotional and psychological trauma, and related physical injuries.
She is seeking more than $150,000 in damages for alleged violations of her civil rights.

As the eighth century came to a close, so did the islands' old regime. The royal family, in partnership with the eleven knightly orders, agreed to abolish imperial rule...from which arose the Sacred City of Adoulin.
The rate at which it developed astounded all. In the blink of an eye, Adoulin had become a maritime metropolis, its mercantile prowess rivalling even Jueno's.
The hustle and bustle of the commoners' district in the west--Adoulin's centre of trade and pioneering hub--serves as a stark contrast to the refined, stoic castle in the east. It is upon this urban landscape that adventurers will first leave their mark...in the next chapter of Vana'diel's history.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made its debut on FOX Sports 1 last night (Aug. 17, 2013), live from TD BanK Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The card is an instant contender for event of the year, and, quite frankly, it's in contention for one of the most enjoyable of all time.
Chael Sonnen wins by submission? Huh?
If you were to predict Chael Sonnen's path to victory in any given fight, the least likely would be by submission. He just isn't that kind of fighter. His strategy has always been to take an opponent to the mat and beat them up with punches. Last night he pulled guard and locked in a guillotine (watch highlights here). I don't even know anymore.
The heck happened to Overeem?
I don't get this. Alistair Overeem was supposed to be a player in the UFC's Heavyweight title scene. Now he's a guy with two straight losses via technical knockout (watch highlights here). I feel pretty confident saying that it's pretty unlikely that he'll ever sniff the top of the Heavyweight division for the rest of his UFC tenure. Bummer.
Hugs! High Fives! Boooooooooooooo!
The fight between John Howard and Uriah Hall was possibly one of the most uneventful in recent memory. Hall's performance was so bad that UFC President Dana White said that he just doesn't have what it takes to be a UFC fighter. I'd agree with that sentiment.
Matt Brown ... title contender?
Sure, Matt Brown doesn't hold wins over Top 10-ranked opponents, but when a fighter is on a 6-0 run, he (or she) is in contention for a title. I don't know if a title shot is in Matt Brown's future, but I do know that he's reinvented himself as a fighter and deserves a step up in competition.
Other Thoughts!
- That was the best performance of Michael Johnson's career. He straight up beat down Joe Lauzon. If you haven't seen the damage, you should check it out here.
- Urijah Faber is still improving and that's crazy. Fighters are supposed to hit a ceiling, but that just hasn't happened with Faber. It's a bummer that Renan Barao is interim champ because Faber deserves another run at the gold.
- Conor McGregor answered a ton of questions last night, especially his ability to go the full 15 minutes. That being said, I appreciate his attitude toward finishing fights. He recognizes that UFC rewards fighters for finishing and wants to keep earning those "of the Night" bonus checks.
- Overall, this was my favorite card of the year. It's even up there with all-time favorite mixed martial arts (MMA) events. Outside of that Uriah Hall/John Howard fight, this was a perfect event in my eyes.

It costs about $1 million dollars every year for the city of Tucson to clean up graffiti.
That money could be going away, but one city council member has an idea to recoup cleaning costs.
Graffiti on utility boxes can be seen from many Tucson roads.
"This is where we live and we want it to look good," midtown resident Kristine Yarter said.
Yarter carries her own bag of cleansers and sprays to erase signs and scribbles on the equipment.
"You know we're just kind of getting tired of having to do this work," she said.
Steve Kozachik/ Council Member
"The utilities, they need to understand the residents are not their volunteers," Tucson City Council Member Steve Kozachik said.
Kozachik is especially concerned. He said a new budget proposal completely eliminates money for graffiti abatement.
"They're calling it a non-core service, and I think that's freaking nuts," he said.
His answer to the graffiti problem and the funding problem is to bill the utilities when the city has to clean their equipment.
"So I'm talking to the city attorneys right now to see if we have the legal authority to do that," he said.
Tucson Electric Power and Century Link said they welcome customers to tell them about graffiti problems using email.
Some residents say the tough part about reporting graffiti on utility boxes is the boxes don't have any identifying features so they don't know which utility owns which box and what location to report for clean up.
"If they take a photo that's really helpful to us," said Joseph Barrios with Tucson Electric Power.
Barrios said TEP even formed a team to address tagging.
"If they simply contact us and let us know we will respond," he said.
In an email, a Century Link spokesman told Tucson News Now field technicians handle graffiti while out on calls.
Still, residents like Yarter say they see the crews but not the cleaning.
"I guess I'm tired of spending my retirement money on this and would like to see the utility companies step up," she said.

Business boost for Basildon as big names open new branches in town's retail parks
11:20am Friday 15th February 2013 in Local News
RETAIL parks off the A127 are continuing to buck the recession after another two chains announced their arrival.
Costa coffee has just opened its store on the Mayflower retail park in Basildon, while Pets at Home has announced it will open another branch in the area at the Pipps Hill retail park on March 22.
The new stores will create local jobs and come just a few months after Marks and Spencer opened its new food store on the Mayflower estate.
A spokeswoman for Costa coffee said its new store would create between six and ten jobs.
She said: "We strongly believe coffee shops like Costa have a role to play in local investment and employment.
"We're delighted to be opening a new Costa store at the Mayflower Retail Park.
"We work closely with planning departments across the country to open new stores for the benefit of their local communities, creating new jobs and providing attractive and popular social meeting places.
"When we open in a new location we do all we can to integrate ourselves with the local community, getting involved with events, providing the store as a meeting space and helping with fundraising."
The £390,000 Pets at Home store will go into a unit previously occupied by Poundstretcher, creating nine new jobs.
It will be the company's second local store, the other is in Pitsea, and will offer thousands of products for dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, chickens, birds, fish and wildlife.
There will also be a groom room and companion care veterinary surgery housed in the 6,000sq ft store.

These skates are worth every penny. They are very reliable and I have not had any problems at all and I have used them 3 times for an hour and a half to 3 hours at a time. October 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jose The right skates for me I started taking ice skating classes and decided to get my own pair instead of use the rental ones. This skates are cheap and most comments are true! The skates are comfortable and so far it feels great to skate on them. If you are a beginner or just looking for a spare pair of skates, these are definitely the best value-quality deal you can find. October 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Spaniard99 Outstanding Excellence The skates are of outstanding quality and awesomeness. You need to spend some time in them to break them in, for them to feel perfect. At first they might be tight, but after three or four uses they'll conform to your feet. September 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mike50 Excellent value An overall excellent ice skate quality and comfort for the price can not be beat. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by JohnE Great for the price! My kids took up hockey, so I figured I'd try learning to skate myself. I rented skates the first 5 times or so and figured I should buy a pair. These are great skates for the money. Could feel a definite difference between the hockey rentals and these. An additional bonus was that I brought these in to my local Dick's store and they sharpened them for free. Great service. August 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Demetrius Good Skates, Pick the right size I puchased a pair of these skates (10.5) brand new and they were too small. I am only skating casually so I wouldn't have the time/patience to break them in. I bought a pair of used Bauer skates that are size 10.5 and they fit nicely. One of the reviews mentioned that these skates can be stretched. I took these to a skate shop and they advised against baking these skates because of the material. As a new hockey fan, these are some good lower end/beginner skates. July 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by whoule53 AWESOME SKATE!!!!!!! awesome skate bought them a year ago and still going strong i play three times a week on these skates love every part of these skates July 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Kevin Good for the price Good skates for the price. So far so good on the ice. July 6, 2013

After months of politicking, we now know who our elected leaders will be for the next term. This long political season is finally over. In many cases, candidates waged lengthy, bitter and divisive campaigns.
Folks, we all need to realize one thing-every one of those campaigns ended on Tuesday. They are all over and done with. History. It's time now to get to work. No matter who you supported, who you voted for, it is now time for all of us to come together, look toward the future, and do our part to make our cities, counties, states, and nation a better place. Constant in-fighting and bickering will do nothing to better any of our lots in life. It does not matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican, we are all Americans first and foremost.
Our country faces a myriad of challenges-challenges that require compromise and cooperation. Each community and state has unique issues that need to be addressed and we need to give each and every one of our elected officials an opportunity to do the job they've been elected to do. They represent us and therefore it's important to all of us for all of them to be successful. We cannot spend the next two, four, or six years drawing a line in the sand because our candidate lost. It's time for us all to come together. Let's all make sure we give our newly elected officials the chance to make this a better place.
This is just one of many viewpoints. If you'd like to comment we want to hear from you. Click here to e-mail your response on-line right now, or write us at the address below. Either way, be sure to include your name and hometown in case we use your comment on the air.

This group was studied by Crisp-Sageev-Sapir in the context of their work on right-angled Artin groups, and independently by Feighn (according to Mark Sapir); both sought (unsuccessfully) to determine whether contains a subgroup isomorphic to the fundamental group of a closed, oriented surface of genus at least 2.

By pushing the technique further, Alden and I managed to prove that for a fixed free group of finite rank, and for a random endomorphism of length (i.e. one taking the generators to random words of length ), the associated HNN extension contains a closed surface subgroup with probability going to 1 as .

We had an outside cabin and it was ideal as to be honest you dont spend much time in it, our cabin steward was really helpful and friendly and a hard worker
if i had to make one little moan I would of liked to spend longer in gibralter really liked that place. and the photographs on the ship got a little annoying lol kept pouncing and they were not cheap to buy however did buy the formal portraits as a memento.
I am really keen to go on Azura again and plan on doing it in 2013 we have booked a two week italian med cruise in aug with the oposistion lol ind of the seas as the itinery was slightly better than P and O for next year and I dont want to go on anything smaller than Azura lol but trust me My hubby and I will be back on Azura for a cruise in 2013 I have told all my friends that they are never to fly again and go cruising so relaxing dont have to think about anything and totally hassle free. Well done Azura.

Endlessly imitated in commercials and Hollywood films ("Men in Black" and "Contact" among them) and predating Google Earth (and Google Mars) by decades, the zoom continues to captivate viewers, leaving them either awed or overwhelmed by journey's end. Paul Schrader, a devout admirer of the original "rough sketch" "Powers of Ten" film that predated the final Chicago-based version by a decade, wrote that the interstellar roller-coaster ride allowed the viewer to "think of himself a citizen of the universe."
Charles Eames wanted the film to appeal to a 10-year-old as well as a physicist and claimed the goal was for viewers to experience a "gut feeling" about dimensions in time and space. The message was received. In 1998, "Powers of Ten" earned a spot in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, the same institution that claims over 1 million archival items gathered from the Eames Office after their doors closed in 1989. That same office space in Venice, Calif., was later occupied by Facebook. When the Eameses established a temporary office in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, circa 1950, in a previously unused top-floor space, even the owner of the building, political activist Sargent Shriver, wasn't quite sure what they were up to. But the Eameses were once again ahead of the curve. Sixty years later, their makeshift office will soon be home to the Chicago offices for Google.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of "Powers of Ten," and Dec. 15 is the centennial of Ray Eames' birth. (Ray completed her own remarkable powers of 10 journey in 1988, passing away 10 years to the day after Charles, her husband of 37 years.) The magic of their mind meld has been preserved in "Beautiful Details," a spectacular new book exploring the Eames legacy that will enliven, or perhaps leave you questioning, your coffee table and the furniture that surrounds it. Perhaps even the cosmos.

CBS Proclaims: 'Workers of the Nation Unite' in MoveOn.org-Backed Union Protests
At the top of Saturday's CBS Early Show, co-host Russ Mitchell cheered unions protests across the country: "Workers uniting. 50 rallies are planned in 50 states today, as organizers show solidarity with Wisconsin state workers, fighting to preserve their right to collectively bargain for benefits and work conditions."
Introducing the segment later, fellow co-host Rebecca Jarvis noted how the protests were organized by MoveOn.org. Rather than accurately label the organization as left-wing, she simply referred to it as "an advocacy group." In the report that followed, correspondent Cynthia Bowers announced that "workers who are coming to these rallies around the country to support Wisconsin workers are being told to wear those red t-shirts we've become so familiar with." The headline on screen throughout the segment referenced Karl Marx: "Workers of the Nation Unite; 50 State Rallies to Support Union Rights."
On Saturday's Evening News, Mitchell again touted the protests: "Tens of thousands of activists rallied across the country today in state capitals like Albany, New York, and dozens of other cities, including Dallas, to show solidarity with unionized public workers in Wisconsin." At that time, Bowers reported: "For the thousand or so activists who protested in Chicago today in support of Wisconsin's public employee unions, the rallying cry was unity."
After noting how Wisconsin's Scott Walker and other governors were trying to balance state budgets by reducing spending on benefits for some public workers, Bowers added: "It's that attempt to weaken decades of public union clout that is bringing tens of thousands to the capitol building in Madison day after day, and to rallies around the country today." She melodramatically fretted: "The fear that unions may one day disappear from American life."
In her Early Show report, Bowers did feature a sound bite from Walker calling on Democratic members of the Wisconsin State Senate hiding in Illinois to return to work: "Come back to the state capitol. You want to participate in democracy, democracy happens when you're in the arena. The arena is not in Rockford, Illinois. It's not in Freeport, Illinois. It's not in Chicago, Illinois. It's in Madison, Wisconsin, in our state's capitol."
On the Evening News, Bowers spoke to one of those Democrats, Jon Erpenbach, and challenged him and his colleagues: "Public sentiment is saying that you guys should be in the state dealing with this, not out of state."
Here is a full transcript of the February 26 Early Show segment:
RUSS MITCHELL: Workers uniting. 50 rallies are planned in 50 states today, as organizers show solidarity with Wisconsin state workers, fighting to preserve their right to collectively bargain for benefits and work conditions.
REBECCA JARVIS: Meantime, rallies are scheduled today in every state capital and in some major cities in support of Wisconsin's unionized public employees, who are trying to keep their collective bargaining rights. They're organized by MoveOn.org, an advocacy group, following scattered rallies last week. And CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers is in Chicago with the latest. Cynthia, good morning.
CYNTHIA BOWERS: Good morning, Rebecca. And workers who are coming to these rallies around the country to support Wisconsin workers are being told to wear those red t-shirts we've become so familiar with. They're expecting about 1,000 here in Chicago, and up in Madison, though, the political stalemate that sparked all this, goes on.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Workers of the Nation Unite; 50 State Rallies to Support Union Rights]
After eleven days of protests, the Wisconsin state house began clearing out last night. Three long nights of filibustering by House Democrats finally came to an end as the controversial bill to cut collective bargaining rights for most public workers passed the state assembly early Friday morning.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN [PROTESTOR]: People are here because they want to defend their rights, their basic rights, to organize in the workplace.
PROTESTORS: Kill the bill!
BOWERS: And way beyond Wisconsin, protests have spread to Ohio, Indiana, and on Friday, to New Jersey, where thousands came out in support of Wisconsin workers. In Providence, Rhode Island, where the school committee is currently facing a $40 million budget deficit, the school board voted in favor of sending termination letters to the nearly 2,000 city teachers. The mayor insists not every teacher will lose his job.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN [PROVIDENCE TEACHER]: I feel numb. I almost feel like I need to mourn like the death of an innocence, or – it's just surreal.
BOWERS: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is hoping to avoid those dire consequences of potentially laying off 1,500 state workers. On Friday, he repeatedly called for the 14 Democratic state senators who have been MIA for ten days to come home to Madison.
SCOTT WALKER: Come back to the state capitol. You want to participate in democracy, democracy happens when you're in the arena. The arena is not in Rockford, Illinois. It's not in Freeport, Illinois. It's not in Chicago, Illinois. It's in Madison, Wisconsin, in our state's capitol.
BOWERS: Illinois may be a safe haven for these missing Democrats, but it is facing far worse financial woes, and, in fact, in all the states, most of the states where folks will be rallying today, the financial shortfalls are being felt. And people are finding out the hard way that in times like these, something has to give. Rebecca.
JARVIS: Cynthia Bowers, our CBS News correspondent in Chicago. Thank you.
Here is a full transcript of the February 26 Evening News segment:
RUSS MITCHELL: And still ahead on tonight's CBS Evening News, demonstrations across the nation in support of Wisconsin's public employees.
MITCHELL: Tens of thousands of activists rallied across the country today in state capitals like Albany, New York, and dozens of other cities, including Dallas, to show solidarity with unionized public workers in Wisconsin. One of the bigger rallies was in Chicago and Cynthia Bowers was there.
PROTESTORS: Save our dream! Save our dream!
CYNTHIA BOWERS: For the thousand or so activists who protested in Chicago today in support of Wisconsin's public employee unions, the rallying cry was unity.
FRANK ZUCKER [UNION SUPPORTER]: Start doing away with the unions and then you have no rights at all.
BOWERS: Many here carried signs against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a Republican who wants to balance his state's budget shortfall by requiring public workers to pay more into their pension and health care plans and to end public employee unions' right to collective bargaining.
PROTESTORS: This is what democracy looks like!
BOWERS: It's that attempt to weaken decades of public union clout that is bringing tens of thousands to the capitol building in Madison day after day, and to rallies around the country today. The fear that unions may one day disappear from American life.
ELMER COSTABILE [UNION SUPPORTER]: I feel like we're the frog in the water and they're turning it up to boil, and before we know it, it's too late.
BOWERS: That's why State Senator Jon Erpenbach has been on the run for 10 days now, one of the 14 Wisconsin Democrats seeking exile in Illinois. In effect, shutting down the senate to avoid a losing vote.
JON ERPENBACH: What we did was a very extreme thing and I can't imagine any other issue that would cause us to say, 'Okay, we're out of here.'
BOWERS: Public sentiment is saying that you guys should be in the state dealing with this, not out of state.
ERPENBACH: We're doing our jobs. We're standing up for, again, not only what we believe in but what the people of the state believe in.
BOWERS: This divisive debate isn't isolated to Wisconsin. 12 other states are currently considering curbing public employee union power as part of budget balancing. Russ.
MITCHELL: Cynthia Bowers in Chicago, thank you.

The problem with this fairy tale the SorosMedia outlets are creating is that if the Communist utopia does come about, they've got a LOT more to lose than their mythical chains. Fat union pensions, corrupt political slush funds, and more, because the first thing the Commies always do when coming to power is to make all of the non-inner-party proles equally poor. When the government IS the union leadership, people like Trumka are nothing but labor camp nominees or firing squad fodder.

These aren't "Workers uniting". They're union people, agitating. Didn't I read somewhere that New York City's teacher's union pays teachers; and then pays for their substitutes so that these teachers can perform duties on behalf of the union? And then the union also pays these teachers? A very complicated and expensive gig that the taxpayers pay for.
And here we have CBS whitewashing this with a big brush, completely turning it around as "poor workers everywhere". Gawd, I guess this shows we can't squeeze truth out of an MSM'er, no matter what the conditions are.

unions: another Marxist Big Lie
Submitted by j17ghs on Mon, 02/28/2011 - 3:49pm.
The history of unions as taught today is just another Marxist "Big Lie." Aside from that, media seldom mention that it is the public sectors unions that are being asked to make a few common sense, minor concessions. Nor will lamestream media mention that unions are money laundering schemes for the Marxist Party of America and are steeped in Old World criminal activities and Soviet-style intimidation and surveillance tactics. In addition to all forms of government taxes that steal 60% or more of our take-home pay, unions -- and their partners-in-crime: trial lawyers -- probably cost use 10-15% more of our take-home pay in higher consumer prices. And yet people blame the hands that feed them, from their own employers to companies that provide a multitude of products at reasonable prices like Wal-Mart.

Workers of the nations unite? Worker implies "wage earner". Wage earners also work in the private sector jobs in a free market capitalist system. So then why are these communist/socialist gathering just unions and activists to protest the very system (capitalism) that allows them to even exist??
Unions represent about 36% of all "workers", so why are they not inviting/supporting the tax paying wage earners that pay for these unions to exist? The deception and hypocricy is so damn confusing!

Spot on, cajun. It's disrespectful at the least for these union members and leaders, aided and abetted by the media, to claim "worker" status for themselves. And the other buzz word in the argument that's being misused and overused is "the middle class". My husband and I have always been non-union, salaried workers. We are middle class. We have a comfortable life because we worked hard to earn what we have and were careful with our finances. Since when is the term "middle class" a title reserved for union members and those in financial difficulty? I'm sick and tired of disgruntled union members and former union members whining about how things used to be.

If I'm understanding whom you are considering Unions. They are around 12%.
This stat is amazing. Let's assume most of the Union members are Dems and let's say their all married and their spouses vote Dem, too. (being very generous with their numbers) That's 24%. I just can't see another 27% being sympathetic with the Unions. The support numbers just don't figure.
A losing battle in my opinion.

From the info you linked:-"The union membership rate for public sector workers (36.2 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private sector workers (6.9 percent). (See table 3.)" (Bolding mine) Perhaps this is where cajun got the 36% figure. Glad you could provide the accurate figures.

That was my point. The % of unionized public service workers is higher than in the private sector. That is where my interests are focused and that number stayed in my head. See, I once worked in the "public sector" but have never belonged to a union though the Unions certainly did try to bully me for decades.
The point I was trying to make is this. Public Service is not designed to become high paying jobs with guaranteed high pensions. The purpose of those "specialized" positions is to "serve the public". Over the last 40 yrs of dominance in the political arena, the democrats have found a way to build up their base by expanding those groups they believe are due "entitlements". This attitude spread throughout my professional service area and was the most significant factor for my leaving the profession.
The higher the pay, the greater the benefits, the less efficiency and committment to performance. Exactly like any other entitlement, there were no incentives to excel. When public service jobs are mainly protection, enforcement, and safety and health regulatory agencies, peoples lives are at stake. Inefficiency and self serving attitudes can be costly as well as deadly. The numbers should not be the primary focus but rather the elitists who put aside the purpose of the postitions and make it self serving.

What they're presenting is the proper perspective, straight from the ministry of truth. :) The news people are too invested in this to actually tell the truth. Unionism, like Obama, is simply "too big too fail" (meaning: "it must be protected at all costs"). Still, I find it pretty funny that of all people, the news is often the last to get the story straight, if they ever do.

Juno: Meaning, Popularity, Origin of Baby Name Juno
In languages like Italian and Spanish, an -o ending signals masculinity. But when you put an -o on an English girl's name, it doesn't sound boyish (unlike, say, -son or -man names). It sounds quirky, individualistic and confident. That description fits the title character of the 2007 film Juno to a T.
