American Council on Exercise4851 Paramount DriveSan Diego, California 92123
Posted: Monday, March 20, 2000 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO - By the time National Fitness Month rolls around in May, San Diego's underserved children will have an extra incentive to shape up.
In conjunction with the San Diego-based American Council on Exercise (ACE), Operation FitKids will pledge more than $300,000 in funds and equipment to improve fitness facilities for children in twelve local schools and community centers.
"Childhood obesity is on the verge of becoming an epidemic," says Ken Germano, Operation FitKids founder and executive director of ACE. "The 1988-94 survey from the Centers for Disease Control estimated that one in four children is overweight or at risk for becoming overweight."
It's statistics like this, he said, that fuel Operation FitKids' mission to bring fitness facilities to underserved children and educate America's youth on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
More than 150,000 local children have benefited from FitKids facilities since 1993 when the first facility was opened at San Diego High School.
"Operation FitKids has been extremely successful here in San Diego," says Germano. "Our facility at San Diego High School, for example, averages about 20,000 visits per year—that's more than double the first year's total."
The $300,000 in funds and equipment is earmarked for improvements in local high schools, including: Herbert Hoover, San Diego, Crawford, Lincoln, Kearney, Montgomery, Mar Vista and Madison; and Boys & Girls Clubs in Lakeside, El Cajon and Oceanside, plus Casa Familiar in San Ysidro.
The Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) has also contributed generously to San Diego's FitKids project. SGMA has been a faithful supporter of FitKids for several years.
Under the umbrella of ACE, Operation FitKids is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that arranges for the donation of used health club equipment and creates fully functional fitness facilities for children in underserved neighborhoods. FitKids facilities are established in high schools, community centers, and housing developments and are available to children at a minimal cost.
Since its inception in 1990, Operation FitKids has arranged for the donation of more than $6 million in equipment (between 6,000-8,000 exercise machines) to 100 facilities in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, Portland, Houston, San Antonio, San Diego, Washington, D.C., Orlando, Chicago and Miami.
ACE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness product sand instruction. As the nation's "workout watchdog," ACE conducts university-based research and testing that targets fitness products and trends. ACE sets standards for fitness professionals and is the world's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization. For more information on ACE and its programs, call (800) 825-3636 or log onto the ACE Web site at www.acefitness.org.

COLLIER COUNTY: Deputies arrested a man after finding his children were home alone without any adult supervision, according to Collier County Sheriff's Office reports.
On Friday, Collier County deputies responded to 1430 Green Valley Circle, apartment 702, to investigate reports of two children being left home alone.
Deputies made contact with two children, a boy and a girl, ages 9 and 7 at the residence.
The children were home alone and there were two candles burning in the father's bedroom, reports said.
The floor was dirty and sticky with food on it. The bathroom smelled of urine and there was a closet filled with dirty clothing. The water heater was leaking and water was pooling in the hallway.
Overall deputies said the home had a strong moldy smell to it.
When asked about their parents, the children said their mother lived in Georgia and their father was at work. They didn't know where he worked or the phone number, reports said.
The children told deputies their father is home in the morning, he picks them up from school, then leaves for work. They are supposed to go to bed by 10 p.m. and said their father returns after they go to bed, reports said.
The children said they are only allowed to bathe when their father is home because the water heater is broken. They fix their own meals in the microwave, but cannot use the stove. All clean clothing is kept in a locked closet outside the apartment, reports said.
Deputies asked the children what they would do in an emergency and they said they were supposed to lock the door and hide under the bed, reports said.
After trying to identify the children's father for some time, deputies finally found a passport with his name on it. He was identified as Michael Philippe.
DCF was contacted and the investigator contacted someone who knew the children's mother. The mother actually lives in Naples, reports said.
The mother was contacted and was excited at the prospect of seeing her children, according to deputies. She said Philippe wouldn't let her see the children and refused to tell her where they were living, reports said.
The children were taken to their mother's house.
Philippe was arrested Saturday and charged with neglect of child - with great bodily harm

Reuters, citing the research outfit comScore, reports that Pinterest has grown from fewer than one million users a year ago to about 20 million as of last month.
Reuters reported that "many investors were wary about the billion-dollar valuation" because it "puts Pinterest beyond the reach of all but a handful of potential acquirers, probably putting it onto a path for an eventual IPO rather than an acquisition."

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Universities in Ohio saw enrollment drop last fall and are likely to see the decline continue.
The Akron Beacon Journal says that education studies are predicting that the number of public high school graduates in Ohio will continue to drop over the next decade.
The head of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio says the question is how much that decline will be in the coming years.
Ohio's public colleges and universities posted an enrollment drop of 6% last fall.
Colleges already are changing how they recruit students and thinking about how to attract more people.
The University of Akron says it is working with northeast Ohio schools to improve the number of college-ready students.

Chuck Ahsmann of Crystal Lake South High School in Crystal Lake, IL was named the Chicago Bears High School 'Coach of the Week' for Week 4.
After 10 years as the team's defensive coordinator, Coach Ahsmann is in his first year as head football coach. He has led the Gators to a 4-0 start this season, with a 24-20 win last Friday night over cross-town rival and unbeaten Prairie Ridge High School.
Coach Ahsmann shares his story of surviving a diagnosis of immunocytoma in 1992, a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and a terminal form of cancer. His example teaches players how to deal with adversity and shows them what they can overcome. Coach Ahsmann also serves as science department chair and is a popular physics teacher at the school.
In honor of Ahsmann, $1,500 will be donated to Crystal Lake South's football program. Ahsmann will be invited to the Bears-Patriots game on Sunday, December 12, and will be recognized during an on-field ceremony that day. He will also receive a framed certificate and will have the opportunity to attend a Bears practice and 'chalk-talk' with Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith and other 2010 'Coach of the Week' honorees.
The Chicago Bears 'Coach of the Week' program entered its 15th season this year. The program honors outstanding Illinois high school coaches who develop players' football skills and knowledge, character, leadership, discipline, and teamwork abilities. Other criteria considered include unique coaching methodology, community or off-field components, school and community support, volunteerism, and, most importantly, contributions to players' long-term success on and off the field.
Since the program's inception, the Bears have donated over $185,000 to Illinois high schools in support of their football programs. For more information, log on to www.chicagobears.com/community or call the Chicago Bears Community Relations department at (847) 739-5308.

Cox eyes up new deal
10:10am Monday 31st December 2012 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Chris Wilder is keen to tie up a new deal this week to extend Lee Cox's stay at Oxford United.
Tomorrow's clash with Cheltenham Town at the Kassam Stadium is the last of the loan deals for Cox, Jake Forster-Caskey and Daniel Boateng.
It will definitely be the final games for Forster-Caskey and Boateng, who will return to Brighton and Arsenal respectively.
But the U's are very keen to keep Swindon Town midfielder Cox, who has been excellent in the wins over Exeter City and AFC Wimbledon in the past week.
A solution will need to be found this week to ensure he can play in Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against Sheffield United and Wilder is hopeful of getting an answer before tomorrow's game.
The United boss said: "There are three parties involved – us, Lee Cox and Swindon – so it has to be right for everyone.
"Lee has done well and is in our thoughts about extending.
"It will definitely be sorted, possibly leading up to the Cheltenham game we'll know which direction we''re going in."
Cox has said in the past he was enjoying his spell at United after failing to get regular football with Swindon last season.
And the 22-year-old is clear about where he sees his future.
He said: "I'd love to stay at Oxford and hopefully Cheltenham isn't my last game for them and there's a lot more to come.
"I'm not part of the gaffer's plans at Swindon and I've been given a chance here to play football with a very good team.
"I've felt part of it since going to America in pre-season."
"There are some good games coming up and you can see there's a turnaround in the club.
"We want to get up that table, I'm determined to help the club get up there."

America's Transportation Security Administration says controversial X-ray security scanners that caused an uproar for showing revealing images of passengers are going to be retired from all US airports.
The decision came after manufacturer Rapiscan failed to develop less invasive imaging software on time.
It will remove all 174 full-body scanners from airports by the end of May.
The scanners aimed to screen passengers for concealed weapons and other prohibited items but created a stir for showing the contour of the body with too much detail.

15-year-old Braden Metz is hard to keep up with while he's yo-yoing. About four years ago, Braden Metz saw a yo-yo at a store and wanted to give it a try.
"My dad taught me a couple tricks. I looked on the Internet how to do more tricks, and I found this huge thing called yo-yoing," said Metz.
The first trick Metz learned was "rock the baby." He wanted to learn enough tricks to perform for his friends.
"There was a talent show coming up so that's when he decided his goal initially was just to have tricks to do to music for the talent show," said Carrie Metz.
After the talent show, Braden Metz continued yo-yoing, but then in middle school he decided to take a break.
Carrie Metz believes other kids not understanding her son's passion for yo-yoing and sometimes teasing him about it is one reason he wanted to take a break.
But Braden picked up the yo-yo again, comfortable with his talent.
"Now it's turning around, where those same kids are asking will you teach me tricks," said Carrie Metz.
The teen has competed once, but he hopes to start competing more regularly in about a year or so. His ultimate goal is to get sponsored by a yo-yo company.
To reach his goal, Metz practices at least one to two hours a day, and the question he gets asked most often...
"I can walk the dog," he said.
Carrie Metz said all the ceiling dents and nicks around the house are worth it to see her son pursuing one of his passions.
"It's fun to see him enjoy doing something so much," she said.
You can find videos of Braden and other yo-yoers on YouTube.

INDIANAPOLIS — Officials with POLARIS Laboratories, LLC, a fluid analysis company, recently announced plans to expand their headquarters in Indianapolis, creating up to 25 new jobs by 2016.
The homegrown-Hoosier company will invest $4.72 million to expand into a 61,000 square-foot facility at 7451 Winton Drive. The expansion, which is expected to be completed this fall, will house new processing laboratories to help the company process additional samples and improve lab workflow.
"POLARIS Laboratories' decision to expand its company headquarters and add jobs in Indianapolis is just the latest example of our city's growing economic strength," said Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. "The city is on pace to have one of its best years in attracting new and retaining existing jobs due to companies like POLARIS Laboratories and many others investing in Indianapolis."
POLARIS Laboratories, which currently employs more than 130 full-time Hoosiers at its Indianapolis facility, has already begun the process of hiring additional laboratory technicians, data analysis technicians, administrative staff, and customer support staff.
"Indiana has provided a wonderful platform for the company's growth, and the success of the company is directly attributable to the hard work and dedication of our employees," said Bryan Debshaw, chief executive officer of POLARIS Laboratories. "Without their efforts, we would not be able to provide the excellent service our customers rely on to optimize their equipment."
Founded in March 1999, POLARIS Laboratories began as a small laboratory focused on providing the analysis of in-service lubricants, coolants, and fuels. Today the company's network includes seven laboratories that serve more than 165,000 customers in more than 90 countries around the world.
"POLARIS Laboratories is a fine example of a company experiencing the positive business climate found in Indianapolis," said Brian Gildea, vice president and executive director of Develop Indy, a business unit of the Indy Chamber. "To have companies such as POLARIS Laboratories invest in their Indianapolis operations shows other companies across the nation that Indianapolis is a great place to live and do business."
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered POLARIS Laboratories up to $100,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to $70,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Indianapolis supports the project at the request of Develop Indy, a business unit of the Indy Chamber.
"High-growth, bio-tech companies like POLARIS Laboratories continue to find the resources they need for success in Indiana," said Eric Doden, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. "Hoosier universities produce highly-educated students, ready to help companies reach and exceed their goals. Combined with our low-tax, businesses-friendly policies, Indiana is a state that works for business."

Former New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith is scheduled to visit New Jersey this week to discuss re-signing with the team. Smith took to Facebook on Sunday evening to let his fans know what is going on:
To clear up some rumors, i was NOT at practice today but i WILL be in NJ to meet with the giants this wk... well see what happens from there !! thanks again for all the support and ill try my best to keep u all updated...
Having played on the team since his rookie year in 2007, Smith doesn't need to be sold on playing for the Giants. He'll be there to let the team know how his knee is recovering from microfracture surgery. Smith had a season-ending knee injury in December that required surgery and the recovery is not yet over.
The Giants are the only team he has scheduled a meeting with, likely due to his knee. The prevailing thought is that Smith will miss at least the first month of the season. A return to the Giants is his likely course of action, provided the team is confident in how well the knee will hold up.

In general, however, "the way enterprise software is licensed today is just not meeting the needs of many organizations," says Patricia Adams, an analyst at Gartner. Organizations are fed up with the perpetual-license-plus-maintenance approach to enterprise software purchases, and they're tired of running on the upgrade treadmill simply for the sake of keeping their software maintenance status current. Organizations "struggle with the currency of the software," Adams says, "and, when negotiating, they still struggle with finding out how the vendor performed against the contract."
IT shops have been pushing back. When GWU's contract comes up for renewal, Steinour says he plans to look at more cost-effective approaches to enterprise software licensing and maintenance, including a gradual migration to a subscription-based software-as-a-service offering from Oracle or another vendor.
If the university commits to a change, it would consider moving to third-party maintenance as an interim step, he says. That would allow the IT department to continue supporting the software and receive bug fixes as well as tax and regulatory updates for payroll, but no software upgrades. Essentially, the university would freeze its two ERP implementations until it was ready to move off the old ERP system -- and that process could take a long time. "[Users] would be involved in the decision process of the future direction, [and] I am sure they would be supportive of our mission," Steinour says.
For his part, Robinson says he couldn't justify spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to upgrade to SAP ECC (Enterprise Core Component) 6.0 just to keep maintenance costs down. "I looked at ECC 6, and I found nothing that made sense for us," he says. So Color Spot went with Rimini Street, a third-party maintenance provider that offered maintenance and support services for less than half of what SAP was charging -- and it included support for Color Spot's customizations, something SAP didn't offer. "Our maintenance is now 9 percent of the IT budget; initially it was 20 percent," Robinson says. And while he no longer receives software upgrades, he says he can still buy additional modules and add users. The software vendors are "still happy to take your money," he says.
Third-party maintenance providers such as Rimini Street and CedarCrestone have incurred the wrath of Oracle's lawyers -- and for good reason, says Frank Scavo, president of Strativa, a management consulting firm that advises enterprises on business and technology decisions: The vendors' lucrative contracts carry profit margins as high as 90 percent. (Oracle didn't respond to several requests to comment on its licensing policies.)
There's a reason why traditional ERP software costs are rising. Sales of core ERP systems have slowed, with projected growth of just 5.8 percent through 2016. And much of the new sales are of cloud-based services, which are seeing double- and even triple-digit growth, says Christine Dover, an analyst at IDC.
"These companies are under earnings pressure," Scavo says, and while traditional ERP software vendors are moving aggressively to compete, they have lost market share to SaaS providers like Workday, Salesforce.com, and NetSuite. And the transition to a cloud service model, where a deal might bring $100 per user per month versus several million upfront and a 22 percent annual maintenance fee, is a difficult one for traditional ERP vendors to make because the money comes in gradually rather than in a big lump sum.
So vendors have been pursuing ways to get more revenue from their existing customers while they make the transition. "Both SAP and Oracle are being very opportunistic in accounts where they already have a strong presence," and that's being driven from the top down, says David Blake, CEO of Boston-based management consultancy UpperEdge.

Wauwatosa police officers responding to a call at 2:10 a.m. Dec. 28 say they found a drunken 30-year-old Wauwatosa woman urinating on the side of her ex-boyfriend's house in the 8000 block of Woodland Avenue.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The 34-year-old Wauwatosa man, the ex-boyfriend, called police after the 30-year-old and her friend, a 53-year-old Wauwatosa woman, rang his bell for three minutes.
The two had broken up earlier that day. The woman met up with her friend and started drinking.
The younger woman was confused and constantly asked police not to "beat her up." She sat in a puddle while she was being arrested, got up, was unsure of why her bottom was wet and then asked the officers if they had urinated on her.
After pleading with police not to beat her up, the woman's and her friend's tone quickly changed. "You know, you're pretty sexy," one of them said. They continued flirting and asking the officer if he was single.
Both women were arrested, the 53-year-old for disorderly conduct and the 34-year-old for drunken driving.

New jobless claims last week fell much more sharply than expected, a reassuring sign that the damaging effects from Hurricane Sandy to the labor market have largely passed.
The Labor Department said Thursday that 370,000 people filed initial claims for unemployment insurance in the week ended Saturday, down from a revised 395,000 in the prior week.
The economy added 171,000 new jobs in October, according to the Labor Department, but analysts are forecasting a number closer to 100,000 for November because of Hurricane Sandy.

Degree of protection and electromagnetic compatibility
The performance and durability of electrical equipment also depends on external factors during use. For this reason, each headlamp carries its own degree of protection (IP XX), as well as an indication of its level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
The IP rating indicates the level of protection a product has against the entry of solids and liquids. It is expressed as IP XX. The XX represents two numbers. These numbers indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below.
|X: Not measured
|0: Not protected
|1 = Protected against solids ≥ 50 mm in diameter
|2 = Protected against solids ≥ 12.5 mm in diameter
|3 = Protected against solids ≥ 2.5 mm in diameter
|4 = Protected against solids ≥ 1 mm in diameter
|5 = Protected against dust (limited ingress, no harmful deposits)
|6 = Completely protected against dust
|X = Not measured
|0 = Not protected
|1 = Protected against vertically falling water drops
|2 = Protected against water drops (15° from vertical)
|3 = Protected against rain (60° from vertical)
|4 = Protected against sprayed water
|5 = Protected against jets of water
|6 = Protected against forceful hose-projected water
|7 = temporary immersion (-1 meter for 30 minutes)
|8 = prolonged immersion (deeper than 1 meter for period defined by manufacturer)
Headlamps' waterproofness
Petzl headlamps fall into two categories :
- Water-resistant headlamps (IPX4 or IPX6) resist the worst meteorological conditions (high humidity, snow, rain, quick immersion, etc.). They work even when water penetrates the headlamp body. This is due to stainless steel contacts and waterproofing of sensitive parts. In this type of situation, the headlamp should be dried and the batteries changed. The contacts should be inspected. This applies to all headlamps, except for the e+LITE, the ULTRA line and the DUO line.
- Waterproof -1 m (IP X7) and -5 m (IPX8) are water-tight. They can withstand an immersion of more than 30 minutes at -1 m to -5 m. If water does enter the headlamp, while changing the batteries in a damp environment, it should be dried. This applies to the e+LITE, the ULTRA line and the DUO line. Please note: to maintain the waterproof properties of a headlamp, certain care and storage guidelines must be followed.
Note: If sea-water gets inside, rinse the lamp thoroughly in fresh water and dry it.
Electromagnetic compatibility (CEM)
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of an electric device to work properly, independent of possible electromagnetic disturbances in the environment, and without producing its own.
All Petzl headlamps conform to the requirements of the 89/366/CEE directive concerning electromagnetic compatibility: they will not interfere with any other CE-marked devices.

Today's Word of the Day means...
sprain (sprān)
An injury to a ligament when the joint is carried through a range of motion greater than its normal range without dislocation or fracture. v. sprained, sprain·ing, sprains
To cause a sprain to a joint or ligament.
overstretching or tearing of fibres in one or more of the ligaments that support a joint, caused by forced movement beyond their range. Symptoms include sudden severe pain, then swelling around the joint, tenderness, stiffness, and often black-and-blue marks as a result of bleeding into the joint. The common sites for sprains are the ankle, wrist, knee, finger or toe joints, and sacroiliac joint in the lower back. The usual treatment involves support and protection of the joint by adhesive bandaging and the use of graded exercises until healing is complete. If the sprain is severe, surgery to reunite ligaments may be necessary

Other cons for us included an extremely rude female staff member at the future cruise office who I am amazed works in sales at all after leaving us feeling unwelcome and a burden to her time.
The design of the main pool is something we wondered on as when there was any wind it seemed to act like a mini wind tunnel this made it unpleasant to be there while it was windy. However when it was hot it was nice to always catch the breeze. We also felt that the Grill closed too earlier and clearly could not keep up with demand as there was often a long cue to get a burger here, it seemed too small for the purpose and closed at 6pm. The buffet all but closed at 9:30 pm as the selection after this time was really poor. This was frustrating as often the last show would finish at 10pm and we would feel like some supper.
We were not overly impressed with the food on this cruise and I was never wowed in the dining room, it was adequate/nice though. The ship had a large outbreak of norovirus and our daughter was quarantined in our cabin, which meant we all missed a port. I feel like this really isn't the ships fault but then I have read subsequently that this is an ongoing problem for the Solstice. After the outbreak passengers were served food and drinks, library books and games were locked away, perfume testers were removed and every 50 metres there was someone shoving hand sanitiser at you. Even the salt and pepper shakers were taken off the table in the dining room. I have cruised before and heard this happens and thought it a good idea however on this cruise there were not enough staff at the food bays and there were lines at each bay so by the time you got all your food half of it was cold. The wait for a coffee or water at times was ridiculous and breakfast was a joke when you had toast at one station with a long line and eggs at another with another long line by the time you have your food you just think scrap the coffee everything will be cold. They also closed half of the bays in the buffet so the selection shrunk considerably. Staff were probably mirroring some frustration shown by passengers but the level of service definitely dropped even further.
Speaking of customer service we attended the medical centre and encountered a rude abrupt nurse, we were pretty frustrated at this point as we haven't experienced so many negative interactions while cruising before and we aren't generally hard to please people or complainers. Thankfully the doctor was great which was reassuring.
There are many lovely things about this ship and it wouldn't be fair not to mention them. Tuscan Grill was wonderful. The sky lounge is a beautiful place to be in and watch the ocean. The entertainment was slightly better than we have encountered on Princess. Also hands down the stateroom was better in our opinion than we have had on Princess and we also felt Celebrity were more organised in the way they tendered than Princess. Well that was until we hit Lahaina (Maui). We were given a card asking us to go down to immigration processing in the dining room at 11:30am. We were upset as we had a car booked in Maui for the morning and had planned to drive up the coast for the day, we spoke to customer relations who suggested we go down at 9:30am. We were hopeful that we could still make the most of the time onshore. We went down to the dining room at 9:30 and the line stretched the entire length of the ship, I am not kidding the end of the line was in the theatre. People in the line said that it had been like this for a long time and people were still waiting after getting in line at 7am. The people on celebrity shore excursions were pushed through first but even some of these people missed out on their tours. I couldn't justify making my six year old stand in a line for four hours so we went and had a swim and some lunch. We approached the line at one thirty and the line was still in the casino. Around an hour later we were near the front of the line when an announcement came over the ship asking all remaining passengers to come into the line now as the line was short. There was an astonished gasp at this insensitive announcement from those remaining in the huge line through the casino. I guess in all honesty it was shorter than three hours earlier. We were processed and on our tender at 3pm. Needless to say it was too late to get our car and drive up the coast and our days plans were spoilt. Celebrity staff blamed US Customs and said they had missed a flight to the ship, and then we heard that there had been a mix up with dates. Either way staff conceded that this is a bad port to come into the states to and it always happens. I am not impressed with this excuse. Celebrity should have informed passengers that this would occur so appropriate arrangements could be made. We might have booked an evening Luau or a later tour. We were lucky that we had not paid for our rental car there were plenty of others who had or who missed their paid excursions. I think it's dishonest of Celebrity knowing this occurs every time they enter here as a first US port and not telling passengers in advance. I think this was the last straw of many and although we had many wonderful moments as a family we won't be putting our precious holiday cash towards Celebrity again and I am cancelling a future cruise I have booked with them and we will book with Princess instead.

(WMC-TV) - Discussion over the fate of three Germantown schools soon turned into a clash, with flying accusations.
Germantown Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy said turning over three schools to the unified school district would jeopardize diversity, stability and parent involvement.
The meeting quickly turned contentious.
Mayor Goldsworthy asked the Shelby County School Board to consider releasing Germantown Elementary, Germantown Middle School, and Germantown High School to the future Germantown municipal school district.
"Our proposal seeks to minimize the disruption of these children and their families," said Goldsworthy.
After offering a Plan B to at least allow Germantown municipal to operate the elementary school, Shelby County School Board member Kevin Woods laid in on Goldsworthy.
"To lay the burden of disruption on me and my colleagues, I think, is a little disingenuous," he said.
He continued, quoting an email Goldsworthy wrote in 2011, "'It is possible that we could admit some non-residents by paying a tuition equal to the city school tax paid per student.' Were those your words?," Woods asked Goldsworthy.
"I have absolutely no recollection of saying anything like that," she responded.
Action News 5's Kontji Anthony obtained a copy of the documents the board members had in their possession.
One email says the unified district would have to figure out where to put 4,200 non-Germantown students who would "likely not want to pay to go to the schools within Germantown's borders."
"Has the idea of tuition ever been discussed between you and anyone else?" Woods asked Goldsworthy. "I don't mind giving you a copy of this."
Goldsworthy did not have a chance to reply.
The board members then asked we about other documentation of Goldsworthy saying in a public forum, "Those kids are not going to be in our Germantown -- the schools in Germantown."
I think your words were, 'We reserve the right to educate the children of our community with our values and we would like to consider charging fees for parks, things of that nature,'" said School Board member Teresa Jones about a past meeting she and Goldsworthy attended.
Goldsworthy said it is in the best interest of all the children for county schools and Germantown municipal to enter into an inter-local agreement.
"Because of the variety of kinds of ways in which public education is going to be delivered in Shelby County and Tennessee, we must be focused on how do we make this work for the kids?" she said.
The meeting ended without a resolution, as this was just a discussion.
There is no current plan for the board to vote on Goldsworthy's proposal.

On Wednesday morning, Sports Illustrated released part three of its investigation into the Oklahoma State football team that claims players didn't earn their grades.
The article claims athletes had coursework completed for them by students or tutors, athletes were clustered into online classes, and players were directed to certain majors by coaches.
Just after 2:00 PM Wednesday OSU Associate Athletic Director/Academics Dr. Marilyn Middlebrook responded the article.
|"While I am surprised at the comments and allegations in today's Sports Illustrated installment, I can tell you we have a dedicated team of qualified specialists working hard every day with student-athletes to help them pursue and earn a degree. I am proud of the work we do with our student athletes. We have assembled what I believe in my over 20 years of experience in academics, the majority of which at Oklahoma State, a strong academic support network. We would never condone what Sports Illustrated said occurred. What they describe is not the place where I work. And I will also say, I greatly appreciate and enthusiastically support the President's resoluteness to conduct a thorough review to find out what is true and what is not true."
Oklahoma State has set up a page on its website to keep everyone up-to-do-date on what happens with the investigation and how the school is responding.

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

CATEGORIES MoviesThe beginning of the film "The Devil Inside" may state that the Vatican did not endorse the movie, but that apparently didn't stop one California church from giving a stamp of approval. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount held an advanced screening for the exorcism movie at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena on Dec. 15 -- and that may not even be the most surprising (and perhaps offensive) part of this story.
"We screened the movie at night. And the priest blessed people if they wanted," said Paramount's Josh Greenstein. "He also was available after the movie to answer any questions about exorcisms." Clips of that screening were used in a trailer for the film, which focused on the audience reactions.
"[The Church] was rented for a midnight screening," Dr. Arden Albee, the church's administrator, confirmed to Moviefone. "The young man who I had serving has my rep there couldn't stand it and left [...] As far as I know, no member has seen it, so there's been no response [to the screening]."
Either way, from the studio's point of view, the stunt may have paid off. Despite the widespread negative reviews for "The Devil Inside," the movie became a surprise hit at the box office over the weekend, grossing $33.7 million -- pretty impressive for a film with a $1 million production budget.
As THR states, Paramount did not reveal the actual name of the priest who blessed people (his face was blurred out in the trailer as well), leading some here at Moviefone HQ to wonder whether he actually was a priest. After all, Moviefone's Mike Ryan pointed out that several people dressed as clergymen showed up before a "Devil Inside" screening last week to address audience beforehand.
"I wouldn't have a clue [if there was an actual priest there]" Arden said, chuckling. "I wasn't there, I was only around during the set-up."
Either way, if a priest did did endorse the movie, he couldn't have been cool with the abrupt ending, which caused some crowds to boo loudly and demand refunds.
"The Devil Inside" is out in theaters now.

A German company that makes devices now under FDA scrutiny for their potential to spread sarcoma threatened legal action against the U.S. surgeon whose wife's cancer cells were disseminated during routine surgery to remove fibroids.
Setting decorum aside, Hooman Noorchashm has been haranguing FDA, Congress, and the gynecology and oncology profession into partial abandonment of the procedure. Though he hasn't sued anyone, several law firms are looking for women harmed by the procedure who would be willing to take part in litigation.
As an apparent result of this campaign by Noorchashm and his wife Amy Reed, top institutions—including Brigham and Women's Hospital, where Reed underwent the procedure—are moving away from routine use of morcellation, and some insurers are refusing to pay for the procedure.
One of the largest manufacturers of these devices—Ethicon, a unit of Johnson & Johnson—recently voluntarily withdrew the devices, which cost between $1,500 and $3,000 each.
Power morcellation is performed on an estimated 100,000 women in the U.S. a year with a minimally invasive device that pulverizes a patient's fibroids into fragments for easy removal through a small incision. The problems occur when power morcellators disseminate cells from undetected cancers.
The Karl Storz Group, the company that Noorchashm says made the device that was used in Reed's surgery, is taking a different approach.
Continue Reading
The Letter from the Karl Storz Group to Noorchashm Threatening Legal Action
Dear Dr. Noorchashm,
This refers to several emails which you addressed—amongst others—to Dr. h.c. mult. Sybill Storz, the CEO of the KARL STORZ Group.
In your emails, you requested Dr. Storz to "recall your Rotocut morcellator device from the market", arguing that it caused harm to patients. You also urged Dr. Storz that she "must do right by all those who have been harmed'' (21 May 2014) and you sent her (and other recipients) a collage of "30 women, some dead'; calling them "Your victims. Victims of your standard of care and using your robotic a power morcellator devices". Again, in this email (24 June 2014) you imply that the power morcellator was the cause of some women's deaths.
Timeline Pinpoints the Role of Cancer Scandal
In a Progression Leading to Perry's Indictment
A Story in Mugshots: from left, Jerald Cobbs, former CPRIT chief commercialization officer; Texas Governor Rick Perry; and Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.
By Paul Goldberg
The indictment of Texas Governor Rick Perry by a Travis County grand jury brings together two complex subplots:
• The controversy over the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which came into public view May 8, 2012, with the resignation of its scientific leader, Nobel Laureate Alfred Gilman, who claimed that political interference had caused a departure from standard peer review in the handling of a proposal to fund a $20 million "biotechnology incubator" at MD Anderson Cancer Center, triggering a delay in funding of previously reviewed grants.
• The political wrangling that followed the April 12, 2013, drunk driving arrest of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, whose duties include administering the Public Integrity Unit, which investigates corruption of state officials.
The plot lines crossed on Dec. 7, 2012, when the Travis County DA initiated a criminal investigation of CPRIT, and they stayed together through the Dec. 3, 2013 indictment of CPRIT's chief commercialization officer, Jerald Cobbs, on charges stemming from his failure to conduct peer review of a proposal before awarding $11 million in Texas taxpayers' money.
It's possible that molecular testing is doing a lot of good, pinpointing cancer therapies that are most likely (or least likely) to work.
It's also possible that Medicare is paying for molecular tests that are marketed aggressively despite being based on flimsy evidence.
The latter picture is painted in a suit filed by two former employees of Caris Life Sciences Inc., a company that markets the "Caris Molecular Intelligence" test, a panel of assays previously called "Target Now."
The whistleblowers allege that their former employer violated the federal anti-kickback statute by routinely waiving some of its fees to induce referrals to federal healthcare programs.
Tumor profiling information Caris Life Sciences provides in its reports isn't backed by sufficient evidence to justify some clinical decisions, said Daniel Hayes, a breast cancer expert at the University of Michigan.
Hayes, the university's Stuart B. Padnos Professor of Breast Cancer Research and a member of a recent Institute of Medicine committee that issued a report on omics, was clicking through the Caris website as he spoke with Paul Goldberg, editor and publisher of The Cancer Letter.
The Cancer Letter submitted seven questions to Caris Life Sciences regarding their suite of molecular diagnostic tests.
Questions focused on the costs of the tests, who pays for them, and how much of the information they provide is actionable.
The next issue will be published Sept. 5.

Ethicon, the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary that manufactures nearly three-quarters of laparoscopic power morcellators on the market, has requested a withdrawal of the controversial devices.
"Immediately review inventory to determine if you have any Ethicon Morcellation Devices which are the subject of this market withdrawal," the company wrote in a letter to hospitals worldwide.
"If you have provided Ethicon Morcellation Devices to any hospital within your system, you are responsible for notifying the appropriate parties immediately," said the letter dated July 31.
FDA announced two plans to resolve a cluster of problems that have emerged as impediments to personalized cancer care:
• Targeted drugs will need to be approved simultaneously with companion diagnostics that would determine who should—and shouldn't—get the drug.
• At the same time, the agency will begin phasing in oversight of an essentially unregulated terrain: "laboratory-developed tests."
Tests that are intended to select therapy for deadly diseases including cancer would be among the first to be subjected to regulation.
The surgeon general issued a call to action this week, addressing the rising epidemic of skin cancer in the U.S. and around the world.
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S., but is also easily preventable. Billions can be saved on treatment if we adopt new standards and strategies, argued acting Surgeon General Boris Lushniak.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute approved $54.8 million for 33 clinical effectiveness projects.
The projects, approved by the institute's board of governors July 29, will study ways to improve outcomes for patients with cancer and other diseases, including diabetes, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, mental health conditions and kidney diseases.
The Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute moved one step closer to meeting a spectacular fundraising goal.
The institution said it received a $100 million gift from an anonymous donor, leaving the institution 17 months to raise the remaining $82 million needed to match the $500 million challenge set by Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife, Penny.

The Cancer Letter recently published information regarding proton therapy facilities in the U.S., highlighting a contention that 85 percent of patients treated with protons have prostate cancer, the logical implication of which would be that this important resource is utilized minimally for other cancers. In this response, we wish to correct this erroneous impression and also wish to highlight the direction that this technology is moving in.

In a heated two-day hearing, several members of an FDA advisory panel on medical devices expressed low confidence in power morcellation as a treatment for uterine fibroids, and focused on alternative methods for performing hysterectomies and fibroid removal.
There was no formal consensus on either an outright ban on power morcellators or issuance of a "black box" warning label.

More women would die from open surgery each year if the FDA decides to ban power morcellation, said Jubilee Brown, an associate professor at MD Anderson Cancer Center and a spokesperson of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists.
Sen. Tom Harkin introduced a bill that would set NIH on a path to recoup the purchasing power it has lost since 2003, and make funding biomedical research a national priority.
The bill is not an appropriations bill, and does not authorize spending any money. It would, however, raise the limits set in place for NIH by the 2011 Budget Control Act and sequestration, allowing Congress to appropriate $46.2 billion by 2021—a level near where NIH funding would be, had it kept pace with inflation.
The Department of Defense appropriations measure for the fiscal year 2015, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee July 17, decreased overall funding for peer-reviewed cancer research programs by 4.5 percent.

The American Association of University Professors has authorized a formal investigation of MD Anderson Cancer Center, a move that could result in censure.
The investigation was triggered by refusal on the part of MD Anderson's administration to provide justification for denying tenure renewals to two faculty members.
The faculty members in question—Kapil Mehta and Zhengxin Wang—received unanimous votes in favor of renewal from the Faculty Senate Promotions & Tenure Committee, but the institution's president, Ronald DePinho, ultimately decided not to extend their tenure.
MD Anderson Cancer Center's uninterrupted seven-year stretch as the top cancer hospital in the U.S. News & World Report rankings has come to an end.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has broken the spell of being the perpetual runner-up and moved to the lead.
The result is as close as cancer care can come to a photo finish:
• MSKCC: 100 percent.
• MD Anderson: 99.9 percent.
A coalition of advocacy groups focused on colorectal cancer asked Congress to fix the loophole in Medicare coverage of colonoscopies.
The group, organized by Fight CRC and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, met July 16 to lobby for proposed legislation that would ensure cost is not a barrier to colon cancer screenings.

NCI took another step toward adopting a new formula for determining the size of cancer center support grants, with the National Cancer Advisory Board accepting a report from a working group that has been working on the problem since the fall of 2012.
The schema proposed by the working group was accepted by the advisory board at its meeting June 23. It recommends broad organizing principles rather than specific numbers.
An article in the June 6 issue of The Cancer Letter described plenary presentations at ASCO 2014. One presentation was the adjuvant breast cancer clinical trial ALTTO in HER2-positive disease, which "was chosen [for the plenary session] because it addressed the reliability of pathological complete response as a surrogate for patient benefit."
As always, I both enjoyed and learned something interesting from Dr. Don Berry, one of the great biostatisticians of our era. I find, reading his analysis of ALTTO and NeoALTTO, much that I agree with. I am certainly no statistician, and must bow to his statistical analysis of ALTTO and NeoALTTO. And yet at the same time I think it misses the point. So I will beg to differ.

The American Association for Cancer Research ushered in the year 2000 with a round logo that combined the lamp of knowledge with a map of the Americas and an aspirational slogan in Latin.

On Oct. 17, 2013, a surgical instrument called a power morcellator tore into the uterus of Amy Reed, an anesthesiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, pulverizing what were believed to be benign fibroids.
Reed's "minimally invasive" hysterectomy, a routine procedure, was performed at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.
Alas, Reed's uterus contained an occult sarcoma, which the morcellator proceeded to spread through her abdominal pelvic cavity. Over ensuing months, as Reed battled to stay alive, her husband, Hooman Noorchashm, a cardiothoracic surgeon and, at the time, a lecturer at Harvard, waged a national campaign to put an end to the practice of power morcellation.
The Cancer Letter asked David Challoner, emeritus vice president for health affairs at the University of Florida, to discuss FDA's 510(k) medical device clearance process.
The process has come under scrutiny after laparoscopic power morcellation procedures were found to spread previously undetected sarcomas inside benign fibroids.
Challoner chaired an Institute of Medicine committee tasked by FDA and Congress in 2009 to review the 510(k) approval process.
"We know that this improves patient care," Bertagnolli said in an interview with Matthew Bin Han Ong, a reporter with The Cancer Letter. "In a case such as this one, close communication between the oncology and general gynecology communities is a key requirement for reducing morbidity and deaths due to uterine sarcomas."
Question: What's more expensive than proton beam radiation therapy?
Answer: Carbon ion radiation therapy.
With CIRT centers costing about $300 million to construct—about twice as much as proton beam centers—the potential adoption of this technology threatens to further inflate health spending worldwide.

METAIRIE, La. – Lost in all the talk about who the 49ers will go with at quarterback is one small detail.
San Francisco (7-2-1) owns the NFL's No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL.
While everyone knows about the growing quarterback controversy between Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick, few people are talking about Frank Gore.
"I don't know why (people aren't talking about Gore)," said defensive tackle Tom Johnson, whose Saints host the 49ers on Sunday. "He has been doing good. They're running game has been phenomenal and opening up their passing game. We're focused on the run right now as defensive linemen."
Indeed, no team averages more than San Francisco's 165.5 yards per game and Gore, at 5-foot-9, 217 pounds, is a big part of that. He's eighth in the NFL with 831 yards this season and his 5.29 yard-per-carry average is second-best in the league for players with at least 120 carries.
Yet, he's rarely put in the same category as Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson or Arian Foster.
"He's a lot more physical than you probably would think," New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. "He's not a huge back. He's a low-to-the-ground, very shifty guy. He has a burst. He's a great back. He might be the most underrated back in the league. Every year he consistently puts up the numbers."
Gore's 32 100-yard rushing games is best in San Francisco history. In eight seasons, he has rushed for 8,456 yards, more than 1,110 yards more than the second-highest total in franchise history. His 48 rushing touchdowns are second in 49ers annals.
The Saints are familiar with him.
In the NFC divisional playoff loss in January, Gore rushed for 89 yards on 13 carries and caught seven passes for 35 more yards. A season earlier, Gore helped San Francisco nearly upset the Saints in the second game of the season, rushing for 112 yards and a touchdown while posting a touchdown and 56 more yards receiving.
In fact, in his past five games against the Saints since 2006, he has 364 yards rushing.
"He has played well and he has played at a high level," Saints defensive end Will Smith said. "He's one of those rare running backs that can do a lot of different things. He's still explosive. He still has the lateral movement. He still has the big play and over and over he's constantly getting yards in the game."
There's one key to making sure Gore doesn't run amok on the Saints but that's easier said than done. Those in the Saints locker room say multiple players have to find their way to the running back, not allowing him the chance to run through or around one defender.
"It has got to be the entire defense putting a hat on the ball and getting his legs out from underneath him," linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "I think that's one thing. People don't understand how strong his legs are. He moves piles. Guys tackle him up high and he's just moving them back two or three yards."
But you won't hear Gore touting his exploits and you won't see him on SportsCenter for a touchdown celebration.
That doesn't fit Gore's personality.
"He's not one of those running backs that's going to dance and do all that stuff and be electrifying," Lofton said. "He's going to bring his hard hat to work, put his head down and go to work, make plays, get up and he acts like he has done it before."
