Not even the heat could keep devoted friends from paying their last respects to their friend, who was killed in a fatal accident Friday morning.
An alleged hit and run driver in a 1998 black Nissan Maxima is said to have possibly hit and dragged Salas around 3:48 a.m. Friday, according to police.
Gail Krause, spokesperson for Orange County Sheriff's Department, said police are still searching for the driver of the car found about one quarter of a mile from the scene.
"The car is a black 1998 Nissan Maxima that is registered to a Dana Point resident," she said. "However, we don't know if the owner is the person who was driving the car at the time. Investigators did find physical evidence on the car that coincides with what they found at the scene. It does appear to be a hit and run accident and the man was dragged before he was left."
Salas later died of injuries at a local hospital, according to authorities. There was a skateboard found near the scene.
on Saturday afternoon lighting candles, leaving flowers, and simply honoring their friend. A small basket now sits on the lawn if passerby want to donate money for the famly.
"A woman stopped by earlier today and said her fiancé had died in a car crash.s She emptied her wallet into the basket and gave everything she had," said friend, Eman Alsmadi, 19, of Laguna Niguel. "People have been coming and going since it happened."
Flowers, new and wilted from the summer sun dot the lawn, and a large posterboard covered with photos of Salas is tacked to a neighborhood sign.
But it is perhaps Salas' black baseball hat perched atop a wooden post, surrounded by more flowers and tributes, that stands out the most.
"It was his hat, yes, he wore it all the time," said friend, Nellie.
Alsmadi said she and a number of Salas' friends are in the process of organizing a memorial for their friend to be held "hopefully next weekend."
"We want to do something to remember him and we want to help raise some money for the funeral, and other costs to help his family," she said.
Friend Max was also among the group of about 20 remembering Salas on Saturday.
"He was actually using my skateboard when he was hit," he said. "He had borrowed it."
He said the skateboard is now in the hands of investigators.
Salas was a student at Saddleback Community College and he recently turned 20 in August, he held a few jobs, his friends said.
Anyone with information on the crash, or the driver, is asked to contact investigators at 949-425-1860.

- Always fantasticBAGKDined on 8/28/2014Been here many, many, many times and it's always fantastic which is why we have been here that much. It never disappoints.Special Features:
- NoiseOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/28/2014The only drawback is the noise level. It has a high ceiling which amplified normal conversation and the addition of new wave style music made it difficult to hear across the table--add the busy bar and one must almost yell to be heard.Special Features:
- Never disappointsOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 8/27/2014Great food. Great service. I love it! Dinner was delicious. The wine was great. We wrapped up dinner around 10pm and stayed until midnight without any issues. We purchased another bottle of wine and were told to take our time. We did!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favorites!CfdltdDined on 8/26/2014The steak is always done as requested! The sides are enough to share and always tasty. Our waitress was engaging and the manager happy to answer any questions you might have. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. Looking forward to our next dinner at Del Frisco's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMazingdannie27Dined on 8/26/2014From the moment you enter the door this place is amazing. The restaurant is 2 floors and you feel like royalty. The service was impeccable and the food amazing. What a great experience.Special Features:
- 3rd trycece4luvDined on 8/24/2014Everyone talks about how wonderful this restaurant is. I tried the one in NY (horrible) went to the one in Vegas (LOVED IT) so why not try the one in my home town. The food was excellent but the service was just okay. I don't believe I am hard to please but I do believe your Tip is based on the service you give.Special Features:
- AbsoluteDined on 8/24/2014Food was very good but very expensive. If you are a meat eater and can afford the prices, you will love it. Birthday cheesecake with candle was a nice and delicious touchSpecial Features:
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/24/2014This has to be one of the best restaurants that we have ever been to. The wait staff was tremendous and the food was absolutely outstanding. I will definitely be coming back again.Special Features:
- Great NightIndiDinesDined on 8/23/2014I went here to celebrate my birthday with friends. The atmosphere was great, service was exceptional (our waiter name was Steve by the way)and the food was phenomenal! The only thing that was a problem for us was that it was EXTREMELY cold in the restaurant. We felt like we couldn't enjoy our food as much because we rushing to get out of there, just to be warmed by the night air.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/23/2014First and foremost, I want to start out saying that I I love Del Frisco's. I've been here three times and I plan to return. The ambiance is wonderful. My fiance and I love the architectural design of the inside of the restaurant. The only issue I have was with our waiter during our last visit. She took a very long time to take our order; which she got completely wrong. I ordered a medium rare steak and I received medium-well. She also messed up on one of my fiance's sides. Although our waiter was incompetent and inattentive, a rarity for this restaurant, my fiance and I love the food and we will return. Hopefully next time we will not have this particular waitress again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun timeCormgirlDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I went with another couple because we had heard great reviews from other people. Did not disappoint in any way. Outstanding, excellent, A++. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- JerseyDined on 8/22/2014We had a great time. Service was impeccable. The place has a spectacular interior that takes your breath away. However, due to high prices we would consider this a one time visit or for a very special occasion.Special Features:
- WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY-BANGING!!cal1dineVIPDined on 8/22/2014WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY THE WORD IS BANGING FOR THE #1 STEAKHOUSE IN ALL PHILADELPHIA. LAST NIGHT WAS THE KINGS FEAST. THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT WAS PACED SOLID AND THE BAR AREA WAS JAMMED. THE DRINKS AT THE BAR AS ALWAYS THE FINEST. BUT LAST NIGHT WASNT JUST ABOUT THE DRINKS IT WAS FIRST THE GRAND SEAFOOD PLATTER. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FINEST SEAFOOD PLATTER THAT I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE. THERE WAS EXTRA JUMBO SHRIMP,JUMBO SANTA BARBARA SNOW CRAB CLAWS,OYSTERS, COLOSSAL KING CRAB LEGS-BIG TIME LOVE. THEN WE HAD THE 32OZ LONGBONE WAGYU RIBEYE COOKED TO PERFECTION ALONG WITH THE FINEST IN PHILA LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE AND THE KING CRAB GNOCCHI. EVERY DISH OVER THE TOP BANGING. THE SERVICE WAS DYNOMITE AND AS ALWAYS ON THE MONEY. BANGING!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!goodmetabolismDined on 8/21/2014Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here, and the food was superb! Great steaks cooked just right and delicious sides to go with it. Got the filet mignon, which was like butter in my mouth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost thereAB14VIPDined on 8/20/2014The ambiance here is awe-some, really, you walk in and just feel a need to stare and/or take pictures. It's stunning. Unfortunately despite having made a reservation a few weeks ahead of time (and mentioning in the reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion), we had to wait half an hour and instead of offering us a drink at the bar, they just pointed us in that direction and offered many excuses. The steak, salads and drinks here were delicious, it was the sides that were good but left a little something to be desired, maybe a bit more seasoning. Considering how many amazing restaurants there are in Philadelphia, I probably wouldn't run back here very soon but overall it was a great dinner for a special occasion.Special Features:
- CenterCityDebVIPDined on 8/20/2014We always have a delicious dinner at Del Frisco's! It is our go to steakhouse in Philadelphia. The food is consistently good, the meat is always the best cut and you know that you will get a good meal. The decor is just beautiful , really hard to describe. Great place for a birthday, anniversary or other celebration.Special Features:
- Great FoodjdmmemDined on 8/19/2014On a Tuesday night it took us 45 minutes to seat even though we had reservations - CRAZY! However the food and service were fantastic.Special Features:
- Lovely NightTommyVIPDined on 8/19/2014Again, I can happily say that I had a great night with friends over fantastic food and service. It is always a place I can count on for taking friends and loved ones out for a great meal. Thank you always for the service you provide.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great deal! Prime Pair MenuSwanbirdsDined on 8/19/2014Excellent food, drink and service. Had been to the vault before but never the restaurant, was surprised at how loud it was. We were a party of two but were seated at a round table for 6 which was okay but not the romantic atmosphere we were looking for. Will know to ask for a booth next time.Special Features:
- Best steak - ever!JeanVIPDined on 8/19/2014We had a great table on the first floor across from the bar - the atmosphere is spectacular with a soaring ceiling and old wood and plaster details only found in historic buildings. Attentive but not intrusive service which is perfect for us. Pricey of course ... but average for a steakhouse. I had the best filet mignon I have eaten in any upscale chain steakhouse in the US.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stellar EveningGenoDined on 8/18/2014We have dined at Del Frisco's in Phila on several occasions & chose it to celebrate my husband & son's birthday. The food was, as always, exceptional. We used to have another Phila steakhouse as our fav dining spot but Del Frisco's has taken it's place. But, I wanted to commend the wait staff especially our server Candy. She was efficient but fun and a pleasure to have wait on our table. There was a trainee who served our wine & she did just fine. We had drinks in the bar while waiting for some of our party to arrive & our server there was great too. Can't say enough about how mcuh we like this restaurant.Special Features:
- Off to CollegeTweetyDined on 8/17/2014Wonderful family dinner before my daughter goes off to college. Dinner was amazing. We had the prime pairing. Well worth it!! We highly recommend it.. Only till September 1.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableNJBeautyDined on 8/17/2014Went for my girlfriends birthday. It was her first time but I've been plenty of times. I personally have never had a bad food experience here. She unfortunately did not enjoy her steak so much. The temperature was not prepared to her liking. She had to send it back 3 times and it still was not quite right so they took it off the bill. She enjoyed otherwise but it was unfortunate that, that was her first experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bittersweet!InuksunamoonDined on 8/16/2014Food is just delicious. We dine here often & I have had close to everything on this delectable menu & trust me; ITS ALL GREAT. The steak is superb, the lamb is to die for!! Seafood..YES!! Even the chicken is just Yum. However. On this particular visit our server was bad. Very slow moving. Took 20 minutes to just get water. I don't want to get too much into the follies he put us thru on this particular evening because our service on previous outings has always been spectacular. But it kind of did take away from the perfect experience that we always expect from "our place" that Saturday night. He will not be asked back to our table. LolSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth Every DollarSJLovesPhillyDined on 8/16/2014You'll spend a few bucks, but you won't be disappointed by Del Frisco's. This was our second time there and the experience was just as good as the first. When we arrived, there was a 10 - 15 delay for our table, so the hostess offered to buy our group drinks as an apology for the wait. We also ordered a bottle of wine that ended up being good but not quite what we had expected in terms of flavor, so we were then treated to 3 glasses of wine on the house. At the end of the meal, our waiter, provided us with three generous portions of dessert on the house. This is the kind of service that Del Frisco's delivers - if it isn't absolutely perfect, they will make it right. And the food is always a pleasure -amazing all around, all the time!Special Features:

- Very good but noisyMarkoDined on 8/14/2014We were very pleased with the food and the service. Prices were about as expected. What was disappointing was the noise level. We had a really hard time even hearing what our waitress was saying. For that reason, we would probably look elsewhere when dining in Philadelphia in the future.I would recommend this to a friend.

It was the same this visit except for the server. The server was terrible. When we first sat down it took him half an hour to come to the table. To the point where the manager noticed showed up at the table and took our appetizer order apologizing. Over the evening the server continued to be unattentive. At the end when I got the check and told him that I was pressed for time, he took the check and my credit card and did not return for almost 45 minutes. When he returned acknowledged his delay, did not offer any explanation and did not seem to care. Just a rude terrible server all around.Special Features:

Henrico's Top Teachers – Karen Bowles
Hermitage Tech Center, veterinary science
As a licensed veterinary technician who worked in animal hospitals for 17 years, Karen Bowles became increasingly frustrated with the lack of qualified, trained technicians in the field.
"I wished for a class that would teach people how to do the job, so that we wouldn't have to train them on the job," she recalls.
In 2003, Bowles got her wish when Hermitage Technical Center started a veterinary science program for juniors and seniors. She was, however surprised by the teacher hired to run the program: herself.
"I had no intention of teaching it," she says with a laugh. "I just wanted it to exist."
Nine years later, the 44-student program is flourishing under Bowles' leadership and has done exactly what she originally hoped it would – and then some. A number of current and former students hold jobs as veterinary technicians locally and elsewhere, while others have gone on to veterinary school. The program has been so successful that center officials recently added a second section because of high demand.
"It's so cool when I call a veterinary hospital and one of my former students will answer the phone," Bowles says. "That's such a great reward."
Bowles was a natural choice for the program because she had a teaching demeanor about her and had often been the one performing on-the-job training at the veterinary hospitals where she worked. She was encouraged to apply for the position and did so, thinking she'd be able to teach part time and remain in the working world part time.
That didn't happen – the program's demands are too rigorous – but Bowles doesn't seem to mind.
"I can help these students who had that same dream that I had to become a reality," she says. "The common thread is the love of animals. Every applicant lists that on their application. I always wanted to work with animals since I was 5, and most of these kids are the same way."
In addition to her teaching role, Bowles also heads up the newly formed Tech Ethics Society at the center, through which about 80 students perform fundraising and community service projects.
"When observing her, one notices how organized and structured her class is and how the students function as a unified team when completing assigned tasks such as animal grooming, project presentations and surgical preparation," a colleague wrote of Bowles in a nomination letter. "Her demeanor inside the classroom is the same as outside the classroom and the same with students and adults."
More than a dozen animals – a cat, a rabbit, two gerbils, three ferrets, three rats, a hamster, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon and a chinchilla – live in the center, and Bowles brings her dog each day, giving students a wide range of real-world experience interacting with them. It's not uncommon to see a student working on her laptop with a cat curled up in her lap, Bowles says.
The presence of the animals also serves as a calming influence for others in the center at the high school.
"Teachers will come visit the animals if they need the stress relief," Bowles says. "Special needs students can come too, or sometimes we visit them and let them feed the animals. Sometimes a student will be having a bad day, and being around the animals can help ease the tension."
One of the most tense moments Bowles herself experienced was during her first year of teaching, when the school was locked down because of a reported gunman in the building.
"I had 22 hysterical students that I had to pack into a small, dark room," she recalls. "One was hyperventilating. One was claustrophobic. Several were crying. We had been trained in how to handle a situation like that, so I kept talking to them in a calm voice, telling them what we were going to do, and that everything was going to be alright."
The scare turned out to be a false alarm, but it was an eye-opener for Bowles.
"That gave me the self-assurance that I could handle this, but it also made me realize that I'm a mom to 44 kids, besides my two at home. I probably see more of them most days than their parents do. It helped me to understand teenagers a little better."

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Unless that team is playing Lynn.
The Bears have been dominating opponents with a smothering defense this basketball season, holding teams to a paltry 21.5 points per game. The Bears set the tone in a season-opening win over Winston County, giving up just 16 points to the Yellow Jackets. Lopsided wins and shut-down defensive efforts have followed since.
Lynn's defensive dominance didn't happen overnight. It's been years in the making.
"Back when these girls were in eighth and ninth grades, we weren't very good on offense," Lynn basketball coach Adam Gray said. "We knew if we were going to win that we had to base everything we did on good man-to-man defense. It's something we've focused on every day. Now it's something that comes second nature to us."
Lynn (29-1) has given up 30 or more points just five times this season and the only team to top the 40-point mark was Good Hope, which beat the Bears 42-38 in mid-December.
Lynn has reeled off 20 straight wins heading into today's Northwest Regional Tournament matchup against Shoals Christian (14-14). The game tips off at 6 p.m. from Wallace State-Hanceville's Tom Drake Coliseum.
Along with junior guard Reagan Tittle and senior post players Jackee Dodd and Lindsey Tompkin, Lynn has counted on a pair of juniors to take on the opponents' best offensive weapon.
"This year, two girls — Brooke Harris and Emma Easley — have stepped into that role of guarding the best player on the other team," Gray said. "Those are the two that night in, night out, get that assignment, especially if it's a guard or wing-type player."
Lynn defense was especially dominant in the Class 1A, Area 13 Tournament, blistering Marion County 58-13 in the tournament championship. The Bears led 30-0 before the Raiders got on the scoreboard. The Bears won their area tournament opener by 49 points over Sumiton Christian.
"We love when we can look up at the scoreboard and the other team only has two or four points," Harris said. "We played one team this year where we went into halftime and they had four points. We know it's hard for teams to score when we play our best defense."
In the sub-regional game, Lynn held Decatur Heritage in check in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Eagles 22-2 en route to a 60-35 victory.
"If I was on another team, I would be nervous about playing us. We work hard on our defense in practice. That gets us ready. When we press people, that stops them big time," Easley said.
Lynn is a perfect 23-0 against 1A competition this season.
The Bears also knocked off three larger schools in the Winfield Christmas Tournament, beating Class 3A Winfield, Class 3A Danville and Class 4A Carbon Hill. Lynn allowed just 68 points in the tournament.
"Our defense puts a lot of pressure on the other team. They know they are going to get a limited number of possessions and in those possessions there is a lot of pressure to score. We only average eight turnovers a game so they aren't going to get a lot of second chances," Gray said.
Lynn is one of the most experienced teams in the state when it comes to continuity among its players. Over the last three years, the team has graduated just two starting players and put together a 85-5 record.
In Gray's first year, the team finished 14-14, upsetting Hubbertville on the road to earn the school's first trip to the regional. Lynn has followed suit each of the next three years, going 26-2, 30-2 and 29-1.
"I figured it out and these girls have probably played 175 games together counting both summer ball and the season. That's a lot of games. It's kind of a unique situation, having the same four girls playing together for four straight years," Gray said.
Lynn is one win away from a possible regional rematch against R.A. Hubbard, the team that has eliminated the Bears from the regional each of the last three years.
"We've been in every ball game we've had with them to a point. It seems like the third quarter, each of the past two years, has been our undoing for some reason. Last year we cut their lead to two points at halftime and then we came out and had another dry spell in the third quarter that kind of did us in. I hope, in one week from now, we're not talking about getting put out by the same team for four straight years," Gray said.
Lynn players are hoping to end the streak if they get a rematch on Saturday.
"We've lost to them every year since my ninth grade year," Easley said. "I think this year it's going to be a really good game. Every year we go into halftime either down two or three points and we don't play well in the third quarter. We make turnovers and don't stop them on defense. With the defense we play this year, I think we are going to shut them down in the third quarter. I'm pretty confident this year."
Harris is confident as well.
"We are looking forward to it. We've played them the last four years and they've beaten us every time. We think we can beat them this time. That would just be awesome. I just hope we get to play them Saturday so we can say we beat them finally," Harris said.

PARP is a biennial process that is open to all Partnership for Peace (PfP) partners. Following the review of NATO's partnerships policy in April 2011, participation was also opened to all other partners on a voluntary and case-by-case basis subject to NAC approval. Countries that wish to join NATO must participate in the PARP as a pre-requisite to join the Membership Action Plan (MAP). The MAP provides advice, assistance and practical support tailored to the individual needs of countries wishing to join the Alliance. However, participation in the MAP does not prejudge any decision by the Alliance on future membership.
The PARP also provides a planning mechanism for Euro-Atlantic partners that are European Union (EU) members to assist them in developing capabilities for both NATO-led and EU-led operations.

SALT LAKE CITY — In her bid to become the first black Republican woman elected to Congress, Mia Love is the party's emblem of diversity this year. She is reluctant to embrace the role, saying she does not let race or gender define her politics.
The 36-year-old mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, points to her policy stances as the reason for her success.

Art of the Moment
The largest exhibition of medieval, renaissance and contemporary unicorns of all times invades Manhattan.
A herd of unicorns lights up northern Manhattan /
With a renewed brilliance, unicorns are once again becoming part of the world we inhabit. If you feel like chasing one, you only have to take the New York subway to 190th street, where over forty of these elusive creatures have been gathered in Cloisters, the Met's medieval branch.
"Search for the Unicorn", is a collective portrait of the magical animal, which is ferocious and kind, impossible and pure at once. To celebrate their 75th anniversary, Cloisters gathered their most delicate treasure: the seven unicorn tapestries that John D. Rockefeller acquired in 1922 for over a million dollars and then donated to the museum for its inauguration. These seven magnificent canvasses portray the hunt, capture and death of the animal, which is, as the legend says, trapped by a virgin damsel.
Knit in wool, silk and silver strings, the tapestries also represent the Passion of Christ and the union of holy marriage (one of these was hung in the church where Mary Antoinette and Louis XVI were married, as if portending a tragedy). However, much of what is represented in the tapestries' intricate embroideries remains a mystery for us all.
The medieval art curator, Barbara Drake Boehm, gathered paintings, sculptures, ceramics, tablecloths, a chair and other elements, most of them from Medieval Renaissance Europe, to accompany the majestic unicorns in the tapestries. After all, during medieval times the unicorn was real, but always foreign.
The exhibition includes naturalist studies such as Peregrinatio in terram sanctam, from 1486. It is said that the unicorn depicted in the prints was seen in Mount Sinai and portrayed in the flesh. "Search for the Unicorn" also has a unicorn from Mughal, India; a folio from the early 1300s that depicts Alexander the Great fighting against a Habash monster, a mythical creature from Ethiopia believed to have been evolved from the rhinoceros, Jewish versions where the unicorn is captured and the objects employed in the Hebrew religious life of the fourteenth century. The exhibition also includes the first modern unicorn, sculpted by Benvenuto Cellini and Damien Hirst and Mark Dion's (among others) contemporary representations.
So it is that the unicorn becomes the driving force of art, the power that lets us communicate directly with the other world, magic and enlightening, and that on this occasion comes together in Manhattan to dazzle those who are lucky enough to witness it.Tagged: exhibitions, Unicorns, Manhattan, inspiration, Fantasy Lands

Murfreesboro police acknowledge there is more work to be done, but the latest statistics show most crimes in the city are on the decline.
It's also little comfort to victims of one type of crime in particular that keeps getting worse.
Murfreesboro resident Kyle Vari's truck and his wife's car were broken into last Wednesday.
"They just stole petty stuff," Vari said.
The crime against his family falls in one of the categories that saw a spike in Murfreesboro in 2013: larceny.
"My badge, handcuffs and iPhone were stolen," said Vari, a bail bondsman. "Out of my wife's car about $75 worth of gift cards were stolen."
Vari is now worried the suspect who stole his stuff and a neighbor's gun could use it to commit more crimes.
"Now that they got a gun, they now have everything to impersonate a law enforcement officer," Vari said.
Murfreesboro police released crime stats from 2013 on Tuesday, and, overall, crime was down 2 percent.
Rapes were down from 59 cases in 2012 to 38 in 2013, and there were three homicides in 2013 compared to four in 2012.
"We are going to continue working with our neighborhood partners, residents and businesses to continue our efforts to decrease crime," said Murfreesboro police spokesman Sgt. Kyle Evans.
Still, larceny cases jumped by 7 percent in 2013. And the largest crime increase was with arson, which had a 200 percent jump in 2013.
"To a victim, any crime is serious and is important to them, and we take it serious and it's important to us," Evans said.
Another area of concern for Murfreesboro police is traffic fatalities. Even though the number remained the same at nine, police would like to see that number reduced in 2014.
"By reducing the number of crashes, hopefully we'll reduce the number of injuries and fatalities on Murfreesboro's roadways," Evans said.
There have been nearly 20 car break-ins in Vari's neighborhood and a few surrounding ones in recent weeks. He's just hoping the crooks are caught before they do more than just break into vehicles.
"When are they going to break into someone's house?" Vari asked. "What if my wife and kids are there when they break into my house? What are they going to do?"

It may be the world's first photo Amber Alert for pets.
mobiPET is a system designed to help you quickly find your four-legged friend, and it was developed right here in the Lowcountry.
"When we started brainstorming this idea, I said 'Wow! Right now, if a pet goes missing and you're a pet owner, you go into this emotional panic,'" said mobiPET co-founder David Ropes.
He created mobiPET after noticing that there was nothing like it around.
These days, the retired marketing executive prefers his new title, Chief Pet Finder.
mobiPET is designed to help pet owners not waste precious time looking for their pets by doing all the work in advance.
All it takes is a photo of your pet and a mobiPET ID tag, much like a Social Security number.
"On the back, it has a metal engraved tag, it has three key tags," said Ropes.
If a pet goes missing, all you have to do is send a text to the address on the key tag. mobiPET will then send out a mass text and email alert.
"All of the neighbors within a two mile radius and all of the vets and shelters within a 30 mile radius," added Ropes.
And whether or not you own a pet, anyone can sign up for free through mobiPET's Petfinder program.
Ropes developed the idea with his business partner about a year and a half ago.
Despite his business expertise, he's using Internet crowdfunding to raise money for it.
"It's not just banks and venture capitalists and angel funds anymore, it's crowdfunding and this is a perfect example of that. mobiPET is a consumer based product which has a lot of people that are interested in it," said David Nelems, Executive Director of the Don Ryan Center for Innovation.
For pet owners, the cost is a one-time $24.95 fee.
So far the crowdfunding has been a little slow, but thanks to some new glowing blogger reviews, they are optimistic mobiPET will soon be stored in everyone's cell phone or key chain.
mobiPET is already available in most of the local pet stores and animal shelters around Bluffton and Hilton Head.
Ropes is planning to bring it to the national level this summer.

Nature's Plus Ostivone Rx-Bone is a unique specialty formula designed for any individual concerned with promoting healthy bones.Free from artificial colors and preservatives.
CalciumCalcium is the most abundant, essential mineral in the human body. Of the two to three pounds of calcium contained in the average body, 99% is located in the bones and teeth. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role.
Where is it found?Most dietary calcium comes from dairy products. The myth that calcium from dairy products is not absorbed is not supported by scientific research. Other good sources include sardines, canned salmon, green leafy vegetables, and tofu.
Who is likely to be deficient?Severe deficiency of either calcium or vitamin D leads to a condition called rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Since vitamin D is required for calcium absorption, people with conditions causing vitamin D deficiency (e.g., pancreatic insufficiency) may develop a deficiency of calcium as well. Vegans (pure vegetarians), people with dark skin, those who live in northern climates, and people who stay indoors almost all the time are more likely to be vitamin D deficient than are other people. Vegans often eat less calcium and vitamin D than do other people. Most people eat well below the recommended amount of calcium. This lack of dietary calcium is thought to contribute to the risk of osteoporosis, particularly in white and Asian women.
How much is usually taken?The National Academy of Sciences has established guidelines for calcium that are 25–50% higher than previous recommendations. For ages 19 to 50, calcium intake is recommended to be 1,000 mg daily; for adults over age 51, the recommendation is 1,200 mg daily. The most common supplemental amount for adults is 800–1,000 mg per day. General recommendations for higher daily intakes (1,200–1,500 mg) usually include the calcium most people consume from their diets. Studies indicate the average daily amount of calcium consumed by Americans is about 500–1,000 mg.
Are there any side effects or interactions?Constipation, bloating, and gas are sometimes reported with the use of calcium supplements. A very high intake of calcium from dairy products plus supplemental calcium carbonate was reported in the past to cause a condition called "milk alkali syndrome." This toxicity is rarely reported today because most medical doctors no longer tell people with ulcers to use this approach as treatment for their condition.
People with hyperparathyroidism, chronic kidney disease, or kidney stones should not supplement with calcium without consulting a physician. For other adults, the highest amount typically suggested by doctors (1,200 mg per day) is considered quite safe. People with prostate cancer should avoid supplementing with calcium. In the past, calcium supplements in the forms of bone meal (including MCHC), dolomite, and oyster shell have sometimes had higher lead levels than permitted by stringent California regulations, though generally less than the levels set by the federal government. "Refined" forms (which would include CCM, calcium citrate, and most calcium carbonate) have low levels. More recently, a survey of over-the-counter calcium supplements found low or undetectable levels of lead in most products, representing a sharp decline in lead content of calcium supplements since 1993. People who decide to take bone meal, dolomite, oyster shell, or coral calcium for long periods of time can contact the supplying supplement company to request independent laboratory analysis showing minimal lead levels.
Some studies have shown that calcium competes for absorption with a number of other minerals, while other studies have found no such competition. To be on the safe side, some doctors recommend that people taking calcium for long periods of time should also take a multimineral supplement. One study has shown that taking calcium can interfere with the absorption of phosphorus, which, like calcium, is important for bone health. Although most western diets contain ample or even excessive amounts of phosphorus, older people who supplement with large amounts of calcium may be at risk of developing phosphorus deficiency. For this reason, the authors of this study recommend that, for elderly people, at least some of the supplemental calcium be taken in the form of tricalcium phosphate or some other phosphorus-containing preparation.
Vitamin D's most important role is maintaining blood levels of calcium. Therefore, many doctors recommend that those supplementing with calcium also supplement with 400 IU of vitamin D per day. Animal studies have shown that essential fatty acids (EFAs) increase calcium absorption from the gut, in part by enhancing the effects of vitamin D and reducing loss of calcium in the urine.
Lysine supplementation increases the absorption of calcium and may reduce its excretion. As a result, some researchers believe that lysine may eventually be shown to have a role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

The National Football Foundation announced the induction today as a prelude to tomorrow's full induction announcements. Detmer is the 7th BYU Cougar in the CFB HOF (5th QB)
BlueCougarFootball.com has started its annual Top 10 list. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Ty Detmer's senior season, the list is the Top 10 Ty Detmer moments at BYU. The list features commentary from Ty Detmer himself for each of the 10 moments.
If Heaps is going to be the next great BYU quarterback, a former BYU great says Heaps needs to play like JImmer Fredette. Ty also gives the scoop about how close he was or wasn't to being a BYU assistant Coach. He talks about his family and professional life building a football program at St. Andrew's in Austin, TX. If you are going to the BYU game vs. Texas in Austin, he also gives his recommendations for where to eat.
Speaking of coaching hires, former BYU star quarterback, and 1990 Heisman Trophy winner, Ty Detmer, has been named the head football coach at St. Andrew's Episcopal School, a high school program in Austin, Texas. Detmer, who played for 14 years in the NFL, takes over a program that posted an 0-10 record in 2009. Detmer's father, Sonny, has coached high school football since the 1970s and is now at Somerset High near San Antonio.
Well, I voted for Colt McCoy this year. I felt like he got his team where they need to be. Didn't have a real good outing the other night but, kind of did it all for Texas. He ran; I think he was the leading rusher again. And he just gets his team ahead at all times and just I felt he had a great year."Ty Detmer via LostLettermen.com

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

The Deer Park football team's playoff future will be determined on Thursday at West Valley.
The Stags, who finished their Great Northern League season two weeks ago with a 4-1 record, finish their season with a non-league game at Medical Lake 7 p.m. on Thursday. They, however, must wait to see who wins the Cheney-West Valley match-up on Thursday to see who they will play in the opening round of the playoffs.
If Cheney (4-1) wins, the Blackhawks will be awarded the GNL's No. 1 seed and play on Nov. 11 or 12 at home. Deer Park will be the second seed and play at home on Nov. 8. The Eagles will be the third seed and play on Nov. 8 at the road.
If West Valley (4-1) wins, the Stags get the GNL's top seed (they beat the Eagles earlier this season) and a Nov. 11 or 12 home playoff game. The Eagles will get the home playoff game on Nov. 8 and Cheney will be GNL's third seed with the Nov. 8 road playoff game.
All the GNL playoff opponents will come from the Central Washington Athletic Conference. The exact playoff match-ups will not be determined until this weekend.

The below viewers who think it's filled with malware don't know what they're talking about; they're clicking Aceept Offer for the "malware programs". Filezilla is a great program; I use it every day!
Lowest Rated
How dare Sourceforge and Filezilla provide this malware infected installer ? This trap is realy dangerous ! Using open source reputation to betray users, what a shame...
User Reviews
Malware Warning! I love the program but the Malware is unacceptable. 5 Stars for program. 1 star for Malware = 3 Stars.
The server installer comes with crapware - Symantec detects Trojan.Gen.SMH in a file called rocketsilent.exe
I have used this software for a few years with no issues. But trying to download it today my anti virus checker stopped it. 3 stars because I am not sure of the cause.
Careful sourceforge is trying to push adware on people by using a downloader.
Calm down everyone. Avoid the malware by downloading the latest zip from the file area. You don't get the installer, and you have to unzip and create shortcuts yourself. Big deal. The internet is full of monitizing schemes like this. Get over it and move on. FileZilla is still awesome software.
The program is ok, but the default installer is full of adware junk. You have to be careful during installation. Application - 5 stars, installer - 1 star which gives us the average of 3 stars.
There is a way to install the program without the ads and extra stuff now included in the default downloadable installer. || First, download the normal adware'd program offered, and then open it. BEFORE clicking the green "NEXT" button, run Wireshark and add a view filter of http.request.method == "GET" and start capturing. || Once that's running, go back to the installer and click the green "NEXT" button ONCE. Do **not** press the Accept or Decline buttons; just click on the red "X" at the top right of the window and exit the installer. || Stop the capture in Wireshark, and you'll see the direct link for the Filezilla Server exe file in the details of the relevant packet. || In my case, the installer goes to softlayer-dal.dl.sourceforge.net/project/filezilla/FileZilla%20Server/0.9.42/FileZilla_Server-0_9_42.exe || Happy downloading...
This wasn't as helpful as I had hoped
I'm as disappointed in the poor installer as everyone else. But you guys gotta remember that this is open source. So um... on my way to get the Source to build my own version I noticed that the software executables are already hosted without the installer, and it's 100% functional and only takes a minute to load. Go to the project Files tab, then to the Client, v3.7.3 (or latest). Now notice that there are two primary files for Windows: a zip that has everything you want, which only 10,000 people downloaded this week, and a Setup utility that 400,000 people downloaded this week and then complained about the installer. So ... get the zip, unpack it on your PC, and drill down to the executables. It's all there. Don't want to lose your existing configs? Before you do anything, open your current version and go to File>Export, and save your SiteManager and Settings somewhere. Now when you open the new version, go to File>Import and pull the data in. That's all ya need to do. Uninstall your current release, FileZilla doesn't even need to be installed. It runs from wherever it's located. Drag a shortcut to your desktop and you won't need to open that temp directory anymore. C'mon folks, how tough is that? Now, about the slimeware install. Yeah, complete agreement. It sucks. They should get rid of it. Until that happens. Remember important two words about this entire website: OPEN SOURCE!

The Haverhill Gazette
---- — You've got to love the attitude of Haverhill High quarterback Tommy Morgan and his teammates.
"We want to win the MVC Small (division)," Morgan told reporter Alex Lippa. (See story in Sports.) "We learned how to win last year, and I think all eyes are on us to do some big things this year."
As a senior, Morgan knows what he is talking about.
The Hillies began last season riding a 32-game losing streak and ended that run of misery by going 4-7 for the season.
The team raised eyebrows — and expectations — with a 42-12 win over Malden in the season opener before dropping the home opener, 30-22, to Tewksbury. Despite a muffed punt return and two lost fumbles, the Hillies still had a chance to win that one, too, until a turnover with 1:39 left in the game led to a Tewksbury score.
"It's still a work in progress," head football coach Tim O'Connor said afterward. "We've closed the gap on some of the upper echelon teams, but we've still got a long way to go."
Still there is a palpable excitement surrounding this team and, in fact, the entire athletic program.
In addition to QB Morgan, the team features terrific running back Chance Brady, who last season racked up 1,641 yards — an average of almost 150 a game. In two games this year, he's averaging closer to 200, including a 255-yard game in the opener against Malden.
As we've pointed out before, it's no accident that this year's Hillies teams are in a position to win. After several dismal years of losing records and declining participation, school officials made a conscious decision to make sports a priority and to put money behind the effort.
Sports facilities were overhauled and user fees were cut. Participation surged, with 390 students going out for fall sports last year. The Hillies also returned to their winning ways. Seventeen sports programs saw post-season action last year.
This year, the numbers were up again, with more than 400 students turning out for fall sports programs, though the number trying out for football was actually down slightly, largely due to a large group of graduating seniors on last year's squad.
Athletic Director Tom O'Brien is expecting an even bigger jump in the number of students participating in winter and spring sports.
The cut in sports fees is certainly a factor.
The fee is down to $100 per sport this year, with a family maximum of $600 a year, down from $850.
That's been a godsend for parents like Maureen Zuber. It will cost her just $50 more for two of her children, Stephanie and Nicholas, to play three sports this year than it did for her oldest, Zachary, to play two sports two years ago.
The excitement around Haverhill High sports is growing along with participation.
"When I first got here, students talked about a lack of school spirit" O'Brien said. "Students who go to the games see the great atmosphere that comes with winning, and I think they want to be a part of that."
Now that's something to cheer about.

Detroit Public Schools announced bold new goals for its 2013 Summer School Academy to be held June 17 through July 26 with programs targeted to attract students from outside of the district in need of credit recovery courses and a pre-kindergarten transitions program to provide enrichment activities to students prior to entering kindergarten. A K-8 program will be offered with a focus on social studies and science-areas where students received low-ranking MEAP scores-integrated with language arts and mathematics. This program will be mandatory for under-performing students in grades 4-8 at 37 schools. A total of 35 schools that are on the state's priority list will provide Extended Year programs from June 17 through July 12 based on each school's normal business hours. This year's Summer School Academy will target an estimated 14,000 students. All students who qualify for the 2013 Summer School Academy should have received a letter mailed home to parents beginning last week. The Academy also requires a professional development component for all teachers. For more details, visit detroitk12.org/summer-academy-2013.

There's nothing wrong with cheering for Peyton Manning. His all-out assault on the passing record books is the story of the year in the NFL, and Indianapolis Colts fans have every right to feel invested in the saga.
But that fact just serves to make Sunday's nationally televised reunion at Lucas Oil Stadium all the more complicated.
Manning's Broncos are undefeated and on pace to score more points than any other NFL team in history. And his arrival this week is certain to bring back all the old questions about his departure.
The early national marketing has cast the Colts in the role of the Washington Generals to Manning and football's Harlem Globetrotters.
But the real storylines run so much deeper.
As Manning rehabbed a serious neck injury early in 2012, Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay was plotting a course for the franchise's future. The team was locked deep in salary-cap jail, and a healthy measure of change was inevitable.
Irsay fired the first shot on Jan. 2, just a day after the regular season ended, when he dismissed front office leaders Bill Polian and his son, Chris. When Ryan Grigson was hired as general manager two weeks later and head coach Jim Caldwell was let go, the cold truth is Manning was no longer a good fit with the Colts.
A 36-year-old quarterback with nerve damage is no place to begin a rebuilding effort. No matter how strenuously everyone in Indianapolis tried to avoid the "R" word, the arrivals of Grigson and first-time head coach Chuck Pagano marked a clear start to a new era.
The best move for both Manning and the Colts was to allow the quarterback to find a new home with an immediate contender while Indianapolis started from scratch. On March 7, 2012, both parties made the divorce official during a teary news conference that still resonates emotionally today.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The mayor of Tucson doesn't exactly know what Rod Stewart did that got him banned from a Tucson hotel 40 years ago.
But Mayor Jonathan Rothschild wants the sexagenarian rocker to know that he can return to the city.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that Rothschild reached out to Stewart recently when the British television show "Loose Women" contacted the mayor about Stewart's standing in Tucson.
Rothschild wrote, "while I cannot speak to any legal obligations he may have, I can say that Mr. Stewart is welcome in our city, and we would be happy to have him visit."
According to his biography, Stewart and his former band mates in Faces trashed several rooms and a miniature train at an unidentified local hotel in retribution for the hotel bar being temporarily closed.

The long and carefully planned campaign to protect the
Ojito Wilderness in New Mexico holds useful lessons for wilderness
activists across the West
The Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico was
supposed to be a grand experiment in collaborative management, but
the current board's push to expand grazing and curtail public
input has led to clashes with local environmentalists
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., does an about-face and moves
to protect New Mexico's Valle Vidal from oil and gas
The omnibus appropriations bill just passed by Congress
contained more than a few anti-environmental riders, but not all of
them survived for the president's pen to sign
Despite nearly unanimous support for designating the Ojito
Wilderness Area, New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici, R, is stalling over
reserved water rights and – according to critics –
trying to undermine the Wilderness Act
A groundbreaking settlement between New Mexico
environmentalists and the city of Albuquerque may keep water in the
Middle Rio Grande and help both farmers and endangered silvery
The House of Representatives passes an energy bill with even more industrial pork than the Bush administration requested.
New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici says he wants to give more
money to the Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Act Collaborative
Program – if the program will trim its membership and put
itself under federal authority
Silvery minnows had a good run this year on New
Mexico's Middle Rio Grande, but an increase in the number of
dead fish has prompted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to raise
the "incidental take" numbers allowed for the species

Buzz: Rob Ryan Won't Be Coming to New York
Last night the Cowboys dismissal of Rob Ryan caused a stir and a lot of speculation since the Jets haven't yet named a replacement to Mike Pettine as the team's 2013 Defensive Coordinator.
And no Rex will NOT be hiring Rob Ryan—
Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 09, 2013
All signs point to Thurman and for everything that's said about the Ryan brothers, they know that working together is not the best thing for their respective careers.
Added to that, Jay Glazer would know whether this would happen or not because he's friends with Rex Ryan and has a history of breaking stories regarding Rex.

New York "State 30" Program Information Bulletin
The State of New York is committed to improving access to health care for all New Yorkers. To achieve this goal, the New York State Department of Health has implemented the New York "State 30" program that supports waivers of the home residence requirement for a maximum of thirty (30) J-1 physicians annually who either agree to practice in federally-designated underserved areas or to provide services to persons who live in such areas. Up to ten (10) waivers may be granted in the second category.
To be eligible for a New York "State 30" waiver, a physician must:
- Agree to practice medicine, or serve populations residing, in federally designated underserved areas in New York State, defined as health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) or medically underserved areas or populations (MUA/Ps).
- Document that the sponsoring employer and/or applicant physician will serve in a HPSA or MUA/P or serve populations residing in such areas (see "Required Application Materials" section).
- Agree to begin employment with the sponsoring health organization within 90 days of receiving a waiver. Waivers will be considered only for physicians proposing to practice as specified above on a full-time basis for a minimum of three years.
- Be unable to secure a waiver from another sponsoring agency (e.g., the Appalachian Regional Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs). The Department of Health will examine, on a case-by-case basis, the ability of an applicant to do so.
- Not be "out of status" (as defined by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services of the United States Department of Homeland Security) for more than six months since receiving a visa under 8 USC 1182 (j) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, as amended.
- Qualify for a license to practice medicine in New York.
- Submit a complete application and attach all materials listed in the "Required Application Materials" section; and
- Document service to Medicaid and underserved populations.
A physician who receives a waiver of the J-1 home residence requirement under the New York "State 30" program will be placed in H-1B visa status and must practice medicine on a full time basis (defined as 40 hours of patient care per week, 48 weeks per year) for a minimum of three years at the proposed practice site. The sponsoring employer will support the applicant's effort to obtain H-1B status and will sign all forms required by federal agencies. The Department of Health will routinely monitor the physician's employment status to ensure compliance with the practice requirement.
A physician who is granted a visa waiver and who encounters a practice failure due to extenuating circumstances may, with the approval of the Department of Health and the federal government, continue the service obligation at another approved location. A transfer request must be submitted to the Department of Health documenting the need for the transfer.
The New York State Department of Health will review all applications competitively and make final determinations on the basis of the eligibility requirements specified above. Applicants will be notified of the Department's decision regarding their specific waiver requests. If selected, the applicant must obtain a Department of State case number so that the waiver application can be forwarded to the Waiver Review Division for necessary action. Further information on obtaining a case number can be found on the Consular Affairs website: http://travel.state.gov. A maximum of thirty (30) waivers will be granted annually.
The New York State Department of Health reserves the right to reject any and all applications, waive or modify minor irregularities in applications, and negotiate with applicants to serve the best interests of the Department.
All applications (an original and one unbound copy) must be postmarked by December 4, 2013, and mailed to:New York State Department of Health
New York "State 30"Program
Corning Tower - Room 1695
Empire State Plaza
Albany, NY 12237-0053
(518) 473-7019
Waiver applications submitted to the department under the New York "State 30" program must include the following:
- An Application Cover Sheet with all required information completed as accurately as possible. Vague, missing or inaccurate information could negatively affect the applicant's chance for a waiver recommendation.
- A letter from the health care organization requesting a J-1 visa waiver on behalf of the applicant physician. The letter should explain why the physician is needed. The letter must indicate that the physician will practice medicine on a full-time basis for a minimum of 40 hours per week for no less than three years in a federally designated underserved area or serve populations residing in a federally designated underserved area. In addition, the health care organization must agree to verify the physician's employment during the term of the service obligation.
- Evidence of the health care organization's recruitment efforts in the six months prior to submitting the application. Copies of recruitment advertisements must be submitted as well as documentation of efforts to recruit U.S. physicians for the position to be filled.
- An executed employment contract (letters offering employment are not acceptable) between the physician and the health care organization with original signatures which specifies: the name and the complete address of the physician and the health care organization; the term of the contract; the physician's medical specialty; the name and complete address of the practice site; the salary; and the specific geographic area within New York State in which the physician will practice medicine. (The contract should not contain any termination without cause or non-compete clauses.) The contract must also include statements to the effect that:
- the physician will treat all patients regardless of ability to pay;
- the physician will abide by Section 214(l) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended;
- the physician will practice on a full-time basis providing patient care for a minimum of 40 hours per week in, or serve populations residing in, HPSAs or MUA/Ps and
- the term of the contract shall be for a period of three years from the effective date of the H-1B visa.
- Evidence that the proposed practice site identified in the employment contract is in an area designated by the federal government as either a HPSA or MUA/Ps, or serves populations in such areas.
- A separate statement by the physician that he/she agrees to meet the requirements set forth in section 214(l) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended.
- A J-1 Visa Waiver Recommendation Application (DS 3035).
- Evidence of the physician's qualifications, a curriculum vitae, and legible copies of all DS-2019 Certificates of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status (formerly the IAP-66) forms.
- Letters of support from local community leaders or organizations on behalf of the physician seeking the waiver.
- Notice of Appearance by attorney or representative – G-28 Form (optional).
In the case of a physician seeking a J-1 visa waiver who is otherwise contractually obligated to return to his/her home country, the Department of State requires the physician to obtain a statement in writing that the home government has no objection to the waiver. The "no objection" letter must be furnished directly to the Department of State through diplomatic channels.

News: Nicki Minaj's Stacked W/ Plenty Of Pizzazz, Says Britney Spears
Wednesday, Jul 27, 2011 9:34PM
Pop star Britney Spears recently talked about recruiting Young Money star Nicki Minaj for her Femme Fatal nationwide tour and what attributes ultimately stand out on the colorful emcee.
Along with co-signing Minaj, Spears said the rapper's distinct sound separates her from other artists.
"I think she's great," Spears said referring to Minaj. "She's a great artist in every way and I'm really happy for her. I think she has a distinct sound when she raps -- It really stands out and sets her apart from everyone else. I'm happy she's able to be on tour with me because that's just amazing." (MTV)
Last month, Minaj described what differences she noticed from her typical rap crowds and performing in front of Spears' pop fans.
"Well, initially, what I thought was I hope this audience will appreciate what I do. What I first dealt with was a bit of the unknown. Is this something that Britney's crowd will even enjoy? But it all went away the first night. I stood in the transporter, that big prop that we have on the stage, and I could not believe the crowd reaction before they even saw me. It was very emotional for me. I was so shocked. I thought, OK, on the [Lil] Wayne tour, this is my audience, everyone that knows Wayne, they knowNicki Minaj. When I heard those screams, it was one of the best feelings in the world. It changed overnight. I'm pleasantly surprised with the people coming out on this show; they generally are coming out not to critique, but to have fun. The hip-hop community tends to be more critical. On this stage, I felt a little bit more free." (Los Angeles Times)
Prior to joining the tour, Minaj promised to cease her city-to-city on-stage lap dances.
"This will be my last round of lap dances," Minaj revealed in an interview. "When I go [out] with Britney [Spears], no more lap dances...The [alias] that comes out with the lap dances on stage, I think that's Lap Dance Nika. Let's call her Lap Dance Nika. Some of my fans, my Team Minaj Barbz, they've called me that sometimes on Twitter, so I thought it was cute, so we'll call her Lap Dance Nika." (Power 106)
In the spring, Minaj landed a spot on Spears' tour as a replacement for Latin singer Enrique Iglesias.
Sources say that things are looking very good and that they should reach an agreement in the next day or so. The raptress wouldreplace Enrique Iglesias, who pulled out of Spears' tour at the last minute. Nicki is currently traveling the country with Lil Wayne on his "I Am Music II" tour, which wraps April 28. Britney's tour is scheduled to begin on June 17. (Rap-Up)
