Keeping the State in Penn State
Etched into the portico above the columns of Old Main are a few simple but powerful words that evoke the essence of the land-grant college act signed into law by Abraham Lincoln on July 2, 1862, in the midst of the greatest crisis in American history. The words state simply: "To promote liberal and practical education … in the several pursuits and professions of life."

Driving is hectic enough, but throw a cell phone in the mix and it can be downright dangerous.
Jim Nolan deals with crashed and smashed vehicles on a daily basis. He's with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Ruckersville, Virginia. Researchers with his agency recently looked at insurance claim records in four states before and after a texting ban went into place.
"The study shows that simply adding a law on the books will not solve the problem," Nolan said.
Researchers found that the ban didn't reduce crashes. In fact, crashes from texting and driving actually went up in those states.
"One possibility is when these bans go into effect, maybe people who are texting on top of the wheel and keeping half an eye on the road are now pulling their devices down lower," Nolan said.
Nolan says in order for these bans to work, they need to be enforced. "What we don't want is legislators to think, 'Great. We solved this problem, we created a law, let's move on.' Because the law by itself, without education and without aggressive enforcement, is not working."

City dedicates Shoal Creek Trail extension March 31
The Cities of Kansas City, Mo., and Gladstone, Mo., have completed the extension of the Shoal Creek Trail west from Happy Rock Park toward Maple Woods Community College and a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Shoal Creek to the east side of M-1 Highway. The trail is a 10-foot-wide concrete multi-use path that connects local residents to Maplewoods Community College, Happy Rock Park, transit routes and commercial shopping areas along Route 1.
The trail will be dedicated on Saturday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Maplewoods Parkway and North Agnes Avenue. On-street parking is available on the west side of North Agnes Avenue.
"The dedication of the extension to Shoal Creek trail not only celebrates a wonderful pedestrian and bicycling facility, but provides an opportunity to reflect on how cities working together can create greater benefits for all," said First District Councilman Dick Davis. "I applaud staff from Gladstone and Kansas City for working together to make this regional facility a reality."
The total construction cost of the project is $961,429, and the project was partially funded with a $636,000 grant from the Federal Highway Administration. This extension is part of the seven mile Shoal Creek Trail system, which begins at Pleasant Valley Park and ends at the Route 152/Maplewoods Parkway interchange.
For detailed information about the Shoal Creek Trail, please contact Wes Minder, project manager, at 816-513-9461 or email@example.com
For more information about other projects in Kansas City's First District, please contact Jackie Burton, aide to Councilman Dick Davis, at 816-513-6505 or email@example.com.

Humidity Is Not a Problem
Additional Photos
Installation DescriptionA drop ceiling installation using Petal White Ceiling Tiles.
Customer Testimonial
The installation is in a 20' x 22' indoor spa area. I used 24" x 24" white Ceilume Petal Ceiling Tiles and HG-Grid Vinyl Suspension System from Acoustic Ceiling Products. For the edge pieces, I used painted drywall. I selected Ceilume tiles and the HG-Grid system because of the humidity in the spa area. The grid system was slightly more difficult to install than a metal system since the pieces did not snap together as easily as metal and the plastic was much more flexible and harder to keep in place. The tiles dropped right in without a problem. The only problem I had was that I did not realize that the Petal tiles are directional so I had completed a section before noticing that the tiles should be oriented in a specific pattern. Attached are some photos of the installation, the spot over the spa is a fan/vent. Please let me know if you post them to your website. Thanks.

French authorities 'intervened' in scallop row
Rod Henderson, head of coastal operations for the the Marine Management Organisation, said:
As soon as the MMO was made aware of the situation, our officers contacted the French authorities and encouraged them to intervene. They did and are continuing to deal with this matter.
It is the responsibility of the French authorities to ensure the safety of UK vessels in their waters. Had the situation occurred in UK waters, the Royal Navy would have responded.
Royal Navy fisheries protection vessels do sometimes cross the median line into French waters where a joint operation has been pre-agreed. The next joint operation is already scheduled, and the Royal Navy may soon have a presence in the area as part of this patrol.
The MMO is continuing high-level discussions with French counterparts to seek assurances that these issues will not recur.
The MMO is also liaising with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which has responsibility for collision at sea regulations, to resolve this issue.

The global financial crisis deepens, with more than 10 million in the
The $700-billion financial bailout package, TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program), was supposed to mandate the elimination of exorbitant executive compensation and "golden parachutes." As
According to The Washington Post, the specific language in the TARP law that forbade such payouts was changed at the last minute, with a small but significant one-sentence edit made by the Bush administration. The Post reported, "The change stipulated that the penalty would apply only to firms that received bailout funds by selling troubled assets to the government in an auction."
Read the fine print. Of the TARP bailout funds to be disbursed, only those that were technically spent "in an auction" would carry limits on executive pay. But Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and his former Goldman Sachs colleague Neel Kashkari (yes, pronounced "cash carry"), who is running the program, aren't inclined to spend the funds in auctions. They prefer their Capital Purchase Program, handing over cash directly. Recall Paulson's curriculum vitae: He began as a special assistant to John Ehrlichman in the Nixon White House and then went on to work for a quarter-century at Goldman Sachs, one of the largest recipients of bailout funds and chief competitor to Lehman Brothers, the firm that Paulson let fail.
The Government Accountability Office issued a report on TARP Dec. 10, expressing concerns about the lack of oversight of the companies receiving bailout funds. The report states that "without a strong oversight and monitoring function, Treasury's ability to ensure an appropriate level of accountability and transparency will be limited." The nonprofit news organization ProPublica has been tracking the bailout program, reporting details that remain shrouded by the Treasury Department. As of Tuesday, 202 institutions had obtained bailout funds totaling close to $250 billion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said recently, "The Treasury Department's implementation of the TARP is insufficiently transparent and is not accountable to American taxpayers." Barney Frank, D-Mass., chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said earlier, "Use of these funds … for bonuses, for severance pay, for dividends, for acquisitions of other institutions, etc. … is a violation of the terms of the act."
Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of
The sums these titans of Wall Street are walking away with are staggering. In their annual "Executive Excess" report, the groups United for a Fair Economy and the Institute for Policy Studies reported 2007 compensation for Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs (Paulson's replacement), at $54 million and that of John Thain, CEO of Merrill Lynch, at a whopping $83 million. Merrill has since been sold to Bank of America, after losing more than $11 billion this year—yet Thain still wants a $10-million bonus.
Paulson, Kashkari and their boss, President George W. Bush, might not be the best people to spend the next $350-billion tranche of

failed by a single vote. A group of citizens attended the meeting this week
urging the council to pass it.
One resident said much of Guntersville's
growth is based on tourism and quality of life. "We've got wonderful shops
downtown," said Matt Arnold. "To keep those shops open at night, later in the
evening, to bring more people in, that's what this notion is really about."
"Some call it the creative class, and that's
what people are looking for," Arnold continued. "You need to give those types
of folks every avenue they have to exercise that. An arts and entertainment
district falls in line with that."
The council is expected to vote on the
district once again when they meet on Sept. 23.

Broncos Hall of Famer John Elway may have retired from the game of football, but the legendary quarterback is still very much in the know when it comes to the NFL.
The father of four has been busy since hanging up the spikes. Elway owned part of the Colorado Crush before the Arena Football League went under. He currently owns a pair of steakhouses in Colorado, both named "Elway's." The former MVP has owned and sold a number of auto dealerships, became the spokesperson for OpenSports.com and appears on ESPN radio in Denver on Monday mornings to talk football.
In the midst of on ongoing promotion with Pepsi Max, the two-time Super Bowl champion took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to speak with Pro Football Weekly:
PFW: First, tell us about the promotion with Pepsi Max.
JE: Well, we've got a little contest going with NFL.com and Pepsi Max where fans can take a picture showing us why they think they're the ultimate fan. The trick is, they have to have a bottle of Pepsi Max in the picture. With that, the winner gets to go to London, with me, to watch the Broncos-49ers game (in Week Eight on Oct. 31). It's a great opportunity for the fans and it's nice for the NFL and Pepsi Max.
PFW: How involved have you been with the Broncos since your retirement?
JE: I'm still in touch with the team and I'm enjoying doing that. I've had a chance to go to several practices. I'm definitely still good friends with (Broncos owner) Pat Bowlen. I stay in touch with him often.
PFW: A big question in the NFL right now is whether or not to extend the season to 18 games. How do you feel about that?
JE: That is physically demanding on players. Whether or not that shortens players' careers, you have two more physical football games where you take that pounding, open guys to injury. The preseason is very, very good for the young guys to be able to show what they can do. That's when those young guys get a chance. With just two (preseason) games, the emphasis is going to now be on getting the vets ready for the test of the NFL season.
PFW: Ever think about getting back into the league in some shape or form?
JE: I'm getting a little closer with the Broncos. Getting closer with them on the business side. There's always that idea that I would like to get back a little closer to it.
PFW: How about on the coaching side?
JE: I did. My dad was a coach and I knew the amount of time that it took and those coaches would have to spend. Coaching was something I always felt I could fall back on. But with the amount of time I spent away from my family in my playing days, and the age of my kids at the time, I wanted to be able to spend time with them.
PFW: Looking back on the Jay Cutler-Kyle Orton deal, what are your thoughts about it now?
JE: There was always question about the Jay Cutler trade. It was just a decision that Josh (McDaniels) chose to make. Cutler is obviously a big reason why they're playing well in Chicago but they're also playing great "D." Kyle (Orton) has done everything they've asked him to do in Denver.
PFW: McDaniels has made some interesting moves. What do you think of the second-year head coach?
JE: I think he's done a good job. He's got conviction of what he wants to do. He's a very enthusiastic coach, a very intelligent coach with a good backing, having been in New England. It's going to take him time to get the attitude and players. He wants to get them used to the system, certain situations. It will come down to how he handles those situations that makes or breaks him.
PFW: With all of the good QBs out there today, who is the best in your book?
JE: There are a lot of good quarterbacks. It's a shining spot in the NFL right now. With the rules that have been implemented, it makes for more of an exciting game. It's hard to argue that there's anybody better than Peyton Manning. I like Tom Brady a lot. You know anytime he steps on the football field you're going to have your hands full. Drew Brees, he's not your typical quarterback but he's a great leader. (Tony) Romo in Dallas. He is throwing for a lot of yards, finally got them a win last week. The surprise this year is Michael Vick. He's having a great year and makes it fun watch.
PFW: Which of the current pro quarterbacks would you say most closely matches your style?
JE: Style-wise, Donovan McNabb is probably the closest. I would say Vick, but he's probably twice as fast as I was. I think Donovan. Ben (Roethlisberger) is probably a little bit closer now, with the things he does with his legs.

AUGUSTA, GA (WJBF) - After a long, drawn out recruitment which saw as many as 18 Division I scholarship offers - Aquinas guard Ahmed Hill has finally found a home.
Following a weekend visit to Marquette for the school's Midnight Madness event, Hill decided he'd seen enough and verbally committed to the Golden Eagles on Saturday.
Hill grew up without a strong relationship with his father and sought a strong male figure he could depend on. Hey says he found one in Marquette coach Buzz Williams.
"Coach Buzz came down to Georgia nine times to see me," the rising senior said. "No other team could even compare to that. I just felt like I was home whenever I talked to him and whenever I visited."
Hill was undecided during his trip to Milwaukee but quickly made up his mind after spending time with what he called Marquette's "amazing fanbase". And then when it came time to head back to Augusta on Saturday, he shared a special moment with coach Williams.
"Right before I got in the car I saw coach Buzz," explained Hill. "I saw him and said 'Coach, I'm yours'. He put his head down and gave a big smile."
Williams hugged his new recruit and welcomed him to the Marquette family, telling Hill that he would be pushed harder than he ever had before.
Hill's response?
"I can't wait."

In the race to get an edge over their opponents, political campaigns have harnessed science and technology to maximize results in a variety of arenas, including fund-raising, voter outreach, canvassing and persuasion. As researchers expand our understanding of new areas, particularly human behavior and psychology, rich new campaigning applications present themselves. Here are four innovators whose work promises to provide new, powerful tools to tomorrow's campaigns.
Dr. Carl Marci, CEO and Co-founder, Innerscope Research
We know that voters' reactions to political stimuli are often driven by emotions, but monitoring people's emotions is no easy task. Innerscope Research is changing
that. The revolutionary media research firm uses a breakthrough, non-invasive biometric approach to measure and analyze emotional response to all types of media. Founded by Dr. Carl Marci and Brian Levine, Innerscope leverages advances in neuroscience, biometrics and computer programming, combining measures of skin conductivity, heart rate variability, respiratory response and body and eye movements to provide deeper insight into consumers' reactions to messages in ads. The advantage of this integrated approach is that it extracts measures that go beyond self-reports.
Application of biometric research in political settings has been rare—so far. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Innerscope partnered with Telemundo to use the technique to gauge Latino voters' emotional responses to presidential candidates' debate performance. While Innerscope has worked primarily with commercial advertisers, it is open to working with political clients in the future. Another firm, Schlesinger Associates, is already providing some biometric services for political purposes. As the technology becomes more affordable, the approach will surely become a staple of future campaigns.
Geospatial Mapping
David Flaherty, CEO and Founder, Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies, LLC
Every campaign needs a good roadmap to victory on Election Day. Knowing
where voters are is essential to executing effective campaigns. Today, increasingly affordable geographic information system (GIS) software enables campaigns to
map out districts and graphically pinpoint target areas.
Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies is a leading provider of GIS mapping strategies for political campaigns. Founder and CEO David Flaherty, an eighteen-year veteran of political campaigns and government affairs, is a pioneer in the field. As a member of the Republican National Committee's Political Analysis Department in the 1990s, Flaherty became the party's point-person for GIS technology. He later worked for the conservative grassroots organization Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF), the Trailhead Group and the Colorado Good Government Initiative, where he helped to develop Web-based applications and technology-related strategies. In addition to Magellan, other firms that specialize in GIS mapping applications for political organizations include Caliper Corporation, SpatiaLogic, Fall Line Analytics, and First Tuesday in November.
Voter Mobilization
Todd Rogers, Founding Executive Director, Analyst Institute
There are myths about the capacities of various mobilization techniques to drive voters to the polls, and then there is reality. Groundbreaking field experiments conducted by Yale political scientists Donald Green, Alan Gerber and their colleagues have shed light on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of a wide range of tactics. Todd Rogers has taken this work even further at the Analyst Institute by working with progressive organizations nationwide to run randomized controlled studies designed to determine what kind of voter contact programs work and what kind do not. This research has helped to set a new bar for the rigorous study of voter mobilization and has helped campaigns across the country maximize the impact of their outreach efforts. Rogers, a 2009 C&E Rising Star, received a Ph.D. jointly from the Harvard University Psychology Department and Harvard Business School.
Predictive Analytics and Microtargeting
Ken Strasma, President, Strategic Telemetry, Inc.
As microtargeting has become an indispensable tool for political campaigns, operatives
are learning to harness the power of predictive analytic techniques to analyze and model voters' attitudes and behavior. Campaigns increasingly deploy these data to identify receptive voters and to devise effective communications and mobilization techniques.
Ken Strasma, president of Strategic Telemetry and the national target director for Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, is a pioneer in the application of high-tech statistical modeling for political campaigns. His Washington, D.C.–based firm, launched in 2003, has led numerous campaigns to victory, including many Democratic campaigns as well as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's 2009 re-election campaign.

Foothills District deputies say an off-duty officer was a victim of road
rage before the angry driver caused a crash near Thornydale Road and
Cortaro Farms.An off-duty Tucson Police officer, who was driving an unmarked vehicle, nearly collided with a truck driven by 38-year-old Eric Santos when merging onto a highway. Santos allegedly continued to follow closely behind the officer and at one point, allegedly rammed and pushed the officer's vehicle. Deputies say the officer called 911 after Santos continued to follow him. As the officer approached a red light, he checked to make sure the intersection was clear and ran the red light to avoid a confrontation with Santos. When Santos reached the intersection, deputies say he ran the red light and collided with a car. Santos and the driver of the car were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Deputies say charges are pending.

Man's body discovered on railway tracks near York
4:18pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
RAIL services were delayed after a man was found dead on the tracks early today (Thurday, January 17).
Officers from British Transport Police were called to the scene on the East Coast main line at Copmanthorpe near York shortly before 8.30am.
A spokesman said: "Officers attended and discovered the body of a man, believed to be a 32-year-old local man, who had injuries consistent with having been struck by a train.
"At this stage the death is not being treated as suspicious and officers are now working to formally identify the man and the exact circumstances of his death.
"Once these enquiries are complete a file will be prepared for the coroner."
The tragedy led to delays for a number of services but trains were running normally again within two hours.

Nursing is an exciting and challenging profession of responsibility, integrity, and personal growth. Nursing provides an essential service to others, involving the care of people, sick and well.

The Vocational Nursing Program, approved by the California Board of Vocational Nurse and Psychiatric Technicians, is a three (3) semester program designed to qualify the student to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs). The program prepares graduates to provide basic bedside nursing care to patients and/or clients under the direction of a physician or registered nurse. Duties of the LVN include provision of basic hygienic and nursing care, measurement of vital signs, basic client assessment, documentation, performance of prescribed medical treatments, administration of prescribed medications, and performance of non-medicated intravenous therapy and blood withdrawal (requires separate Board certification).
After completion of the program, students are eligible to take the VN licensure examination (NCLEX PN). Students may opt to take the certificate option or Associate degree option of the program. Both options equally prepare the student to take the NCLEX PN.

Students are advised to check with the Nursing Office Office for specific dates. Once accepted to the program, students will be expected to obtain a physical examination which includes a PPD skin test (and X-rays if needed), be current in immunizations MMR [measles, mumps, rubella], Varicella, and Td [Diptheria/Tetanus], and Hepatitis B series.

The Kansas City School District believes enough progress has been made toward student achievement that the district could regain provisional accreditation as soon as the fall.
The Kansas City Public Schools released the news Tuesday afternoon. The district cites student performance data, including state test scores.
Officials said the district is seeing strides being made in "end-of-course exam results for high school students and continued achievement in college and career readiness."
The district is currently unaccredited and could face a state takeover next year.
Superintendent Stephen Green said he is encouraged by the preliminary results, but is not satisfied.
"Much works remains to be done to continue increasing student achievement," Green said in the statement. "The early returns look promising and we still need to receive the final data, but we appear close to qualifying for our short-term goal of provisional accreditation."
The district has submitted revised data to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which it believes supports its claim of improved performance.
"Secondary school assessments show increased student performance in four of the five end-of-course exams administered to high school students this spring," the news release said. "The growth occurred in the algebra I, biology, English 2 and government exams."
The district said it is seeing strong outcomes in the area of college and career readiness.
The state education board will make the final decision on the district's future.
The state has given the district until next year to regain provisional accreditation or face a state takeover. The Missouri General Assembly last year failed to pass legislation that would have allowed for an immediate takeover. Republican legislators tied the school district takeover legislation to other education issues, spelling its doom.
But the legislation passed this year, and it is waiting Gov. Jay Nixon's signature. Nixon is expected to sign it, but it wouldn't take effect until the end of August.
Green and other district officials believe the state should continue to allow for local control.
"As a community, we must use these strong gains as a stepping stone. They cannot be seen as a finish line," the superintendent said. "We will be relentless in our persistence toward increasing student achievement. These results show we are on the way to that outcome."

Editor's Note: The following information was furnished to Patch as a news release from Main Line Health, the owner of Paoli Hospital.
Effective November 3, Jim Paradis assumed his new role as President of Paoli Hospital, part of Main Line Health (MLH), transitioning into the leadership position following the retirement of Barbara Tachovsky, who retired after 13 years of service as the Hospital President.
In his nine years with MLH, Paradis has served as Vice President of Operations at Bryn Mawr Hospital, Vice President of Administration at Riddle Hospital and most recently, Vice President of Administration at Paoli Hospital.
"With more than 25 years of healthcare experience and a career highlighted by successive executive leadership roles in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, Jim's extensive knowledge of complex healthcare systems management and operations has prepared him for this new role," said MLH President and CEO Jack Lynch. "I have no doubt his considerable talents will successfully guide Paoli Hospital into the future."
In his most recent position as Vice President of Administration at Paoli Hospital, Paradis led and directed a variety of administrative, support and clinical ancillary services as well as strategic planning and program development for cardiovascular and orthopedic service lines. His efforts helped to ensure Paoli's recent recognition by The Joint Commission as a Top Performer in the United States as well as the Hospital's designation as a Top 100 Hospital in the nation by Thomson Reuters (now Truven Health Analytics).
Prior to joining MLH, Paradis held several executive healthcare roles, including Chief Operating Officer for Graduate Hospital and Vice President at Hahnemann University Hospital. He received his Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School of Business and his Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University.

Ninety-three years ago this week, on Aug. 26, 1920, American women secured the right to vote. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution became the law of the land following the dramatic ratification vote by the Tennessee Legislature. Though the amendment was expected to fail, one young legislator, Harry T. Burn, heeded his mother's last-minute appeal and voted yes. We remain grateful to Harry and his mother.
Winning the vote simply provided women the right to participate in the democratic process. Voting should have been a birthright. The constitutional right to vote is the first, and the only, right that addresses equality for women and men. Recognizing that the 19th Amendment had a very limited scope, Alice Paul introduced the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in 1923 to expand that affirmation to all the rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
In 1971, when U.S. Rep. Bella Abzug designated Women Equality Day, the resolution poignantly expressed the long road ahead to achieve true equality. Declaring American women "have not been entitled to the full rights and privileges, public or private, legal or institutional, which are available to male citizens of the United States," the resolution reiterated the need for further legislative action.
So what has 93 years of voting gotten us? Clearly, equality has not been achieved. The need for specific language in the Constitution affirming the principle of equal rights on the basis of sex is still needed. Although women continue to make progress (acceptance at military academies and greater representation in certain professions), a prevalent assumption remains that males hold rights by birth and females must prove they deserve equality .
Since the right to vote is the only equal right constitutionally guaranteed for women, we must exercise the vote to effectuate changes toward full equality. Electing women to political office is one way to achieve this goal. The current 113th Congress has the largest number of women (98) ever elected. Though a record-setting number, it is by no means an accurate representation of the American people. And that's what matters in our democracy. Electing more women has proven to be not just good for women, but good for America.
Our vote is an undisputed power and it should be used wisely. The fact that women cast 53 percent of the votes in the 2012 election was noticed. Many "women friendly" laws and policies have been implemented as a result. The "gender gap" occupied more hours of campaign conversation than any other issue.
As we witness voting laws change, and as we commemorate another anniversary of the 19th Amendment, we must remain vigilant to defend historic gains. We must always be prepared to exercise our vote to advance the cause of equality. To continue the long march toward equality, we must not allow our power as voters to be eroded or undermined.
Events in recent months have proven that voting rights and protection are fragile. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, at least 25 laws and two executive actions designed to make voting harder were passed in 19 states between 2011 and 2012. And the shocking decision of the Supreme Court regarding the Voting Rights Act will have unprecedented consequences on voting rights. The courts declared that "current conditions require a new coverage formula." Current conditions for women require a new formula for achieving full and equal protection under the Constitution.
We have to figure out the best way to collectively "lean in" at the polls and be the change for the future generations. We need to once and for all guarantee equality of women under the law. Passing the Equal Rights Amendment is the duty of this generation. We need only echo the words of Alice Paul: "We should not be safe until the principle of equal rights is written into the framework of our government."
