Matthew, You are truly an inspiration to us all. Not many people would have done what you did for fear of what could happen. Although I am terribly upset that you have had to go through this, I know it is just going to make you an even stronger person in the end. You, as well as the other guys, have already been through so much in your lifetime that nothing can bring you down. You are honestly one of the best human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I just pray that you don't let this get to you. And I pray that you realize you are better than the monster that did this to you, and that you don't have to get retaliation in any form. The love and support from all us River Creeps should be all the proof he needs that there's not a single person on his side at this point. I am praying for you always, Matthew. You didn't deserve this for any reason, nor does anybody else. I am just so happy and impressed and relieved that there actually are real-life heroes such as yourself out there. I just want to thank you for being who you are and always standing up for what you believe in. You truly are a phenomenal man and I just know this'll make you even stronger. Just remember to keep your held held high. Love alwaysss, Clarissa. Ps. I also need to thank you once again for this community you have created. It's sad that it took a tragedy like this to remind me of all the wonderful, beautiful people you have brought into my life. You truly have given us a safe environment where we just have a thousand pounds of support pouring down on us all the time. I love you and your band immensely for that reason alone. Thank you so much for giving us all something beautiful to be a part of and something healthy and promising to believe in. Love again._________________Hi, I'm Clarissa. www.myspace.com/classified1591 www.myspace.com/madinalakeminnesota :] October 17, 2007*April 21, 2008*January 21, 2009*August 3, 2010.

Laser Capture Microdissection
The PixCell II ™ Laser Capture Microdissection system with epifluorescence was developed by Arcturus Engineering in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute of the NIH. The PXL-200 laser capture system includes: a solid state near infrared laser diode with <7.5 µm, 15 µm, and 30 µm spot sizes; the Controller power supply (0-100 mW maximum); an Olympus IX70 inverted microscope with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives; an Hitachi KPD-580 color CCD video camera; a Matrox Meteor™ color frame grabber board; and a Sony Trinitron video monitor. The Fluor-300 fluorescence system is comprised of: a 100W mercury arc lamp; bluefilter cube (Ex 455-495 nm/Em >510 nm); green filter cube (Ex 503-547 nm/Em >565 nm); red filter cube (Ex 590-650 nm/Em >667 nm); and an IR blocking filter for the camera. The ARC-200 image archiving workstation consists of: the ARC-200 IA software from Arcturus;a Dell 4.3 GB Pentium III with a CD-ROM drive; and a Sony Trinitron monitor. A grant application has been submitted to upgrade to the new ArcturusXT instrument described on the Molecular Devices website.

Pure samples of cells captured by LCM are today's standard for accurate, reliable and reproducible results in Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics, and Metabolomics. You can precisely identify and specifically select individual cells or groups of cells from tissue sections, blood smears, or cell cultures. LCM optimizes precision measurements of DNA, mRNA, or protein by providing pure cell samples essential for all molecular analysis.
Cell procurement must be made from a dehydrated tissue section or cell sample centered on a glass slide. The CapSure Cap, an optically transparent cap containing a thermoplastic membrane transfer film, is placed on top of the slide and cells are dissected by the focal melting of the membrane through laser activation. This short, low power infrared laser pulse, with beam sizes of 7.5 mm, 15 µm and 30 mm, is triggered with a push of a button. At no time does the laser directly touch the tissue sample; therefore, neither the quality of nucleic acids and proteins within the sample nor cell morphology are compromised, and the surrounding tissue remains intact on the slide. The captured cells remain attached to the transfer film surface on the CapSure cap, which is then placed directly into a microcentrifuge tube containing the user-identified extraction buffer for specific assay(s). Publication quality digitized images can be taken of the tissue section before and after LCM, as well of the captured cells on the CapSure cap.
Detailed procedures for specific applications currently can be found on the Molecular Devices/Arcturus site. In addition, the LCM facility will work closely with each investigator to develop optimal procedure(s) for tissue preparation specific to each sample.

- Each scientist, physician, or pathologist who wishes to use the LCM system must first be trained and certified by Dr. Hao Chen firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Currently, there is a $26 hourly charge for using the LCM, including training time. Disposable LCM supplies will be provided for training, after which you will be responsible for purchasing your own at www.moleculardevices.com/pages/instruments/arcturusXT.html.
- Since slide preparation is the most critical component of successful cell capture, it is strongly recommended that each investigator initially work with Dr. Chen to optimize tissue preparation procedures specific for the user-defined tissue samples prior to attempting LCM on critical experimental or clinical samples. Once such a protocol has been optimized for each user, individual researchers can opt to continue slide preparation in the LCM wet lab or can prepare slides in his/her lab. In the latter case, a small dessicator or slide box containing dessicant will be necessary for transporting the slides to the LCM facility from other laboratories.
- Individual researchers are responsible for:
- any special cell or tissue stain(s) other than Nissl or H&E; Molecular Devices has kits available for:
- Staining frozen samples
- Immunofluorescence
- RNA isolation
- DNA isolation
- RNA amplification
- RNA amplification-high sensitivity
- Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections
- Microarray labeling kits
- providing your own CapSure caps
- specific extraction buffers in microfuge vials for each sample;
- performing all subsequent assays.
- removing all digitized images from the computer at the end of each session. These images can be downloaded onto a CD or RAM disk. The LCM computer files will be purged on a regular basis in order to insure smooth operation of the image intensive program(s). Therefore, if you fail to remove your digitized images to another source for archival purposes, you are not allowed to complain that the system is running too slowly!
- any special cell or tissue stain(s) other than Nissl or H&E; Molecular Devices has kits available for:
- It has rapidly become apparent that prolonged, continuous use of the LCM is counterproductive. The procedure requires concentrated focus and attention - pushing yourself (or your graduate students and post-docs) for hours at a time invariably results in mistakes and/or poorly captured cells. Therefore, use of the LCM facility is limited to a maximum of 3 hours in any one session. Sessions can be scheduled from 9 AM - 12 noon (first session) or 1 PM - 4 PM (second session). No evening hours, weekends or holidays will be available without extenuating circumstances and require prior arrangement with Dr. Chen.

WAUSAU (WAOW) - The Wisconsin Woodchucks saw their season draw to a close with a playoff loss in Eau Claire Thursday night. But by Friday afternoon, there was already an air of anticipation for the 2011 season in the Chucks' clubhouse. As players leave town to go back to school, both owner Clark Eckhoff and manager Guido Aspeitia spoke highly of the team chemistry. They told Newsline 9 that as many as eight of this summer's core players were on board to return next June.
The Woodchucks broke the club record for wins this season. A 6-game losing streak at the end of the first half kept them from winning the South Division first-half championship, but they rebounded in the late stages of the season. The team won 10 of their last 11 games, locking up the division's second playoff spot on the final day of the regular season. After winning their postseason opener on the road at division champion Eau Claire, they dropped the next two to lose the 3-game series.
For the season, Wisconsin lead the Northwoods League in homeruns and finished 2nd in stolen bases.

Hockley flood rescue heroes up for prestigious awards
6:00am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
A GROUP of heroes who rescued three children from a 4X4 just before it was submerged in flood water have been nominated for a national award.
The rescue, under the bridge in Greensward Lane, Hockley, took place in August and saw Hannah King, 22, Emma Burles, 26 and Jordan McNulty, 22, dive into almost 7ft of rising water after a Mitsubishi Pajero became stuck.
Scott Swinford, 30, of Priory Avenue, Southend, had been driving from Rayleigh with son Reece O'Reilly, eight, niece, Jessica Dobinson, six, and nephew, Alfie Dobinson, four, in the vehicle when the floods took hold.
Amazingly, the vehicle sank beneath the water in just 45 seconds after the occupants were pulled free through a window.
The trio have been nominated for a prestigious Spirit of Fire Award, which is run by the Fire Fighters Charity to recognise members of the public who risk their own safety to save others, or carry out a rescue before the fire brigade is able to attend.
Hannah, a care worker, said: "I feel really proud to know we're nominated, it's a really special thing. We didn't have time to think about what we did, it was just instinct taking over.
"Earlier that day I was worried about getting the rain on me, next thing you know I was swimming in it. We just wanted to save the small children."
The trio who are all from Hockley, and two other unidentified people, swam into the water and passed the children along a human chain to safety.
Jordan added: "It was a complete shock to be nominated to be honest, it was a great e-mail to receive.
"When I told my mum, she was screaming. At the time it didn't seem as heroic as it was made out to be after – I just think that some people act and some people watch don't they?"
They will find out if they have won the award at a ceremony in May featuring celebrity guests in Westminster.

Romney Dog on Roof-Obsessed Gail Collins at NYT Has Ignored 2003 Rescue Story Her Paper Published
Per her bio, Gail Collins at the New York Times "joined the New York Times in 1995 as a member of the editorial board and later as an op-ed columnist. In 2001 she became the first woman ever appointed editor of the Times editorial page." So she was hanging with the Old Gray Lady in 2003.
The columnist's presence at the paper that year is quite relevant. You see, Ms. Collins has brought up the 1983 story of Seamus, the Mitt Romney family Irish setter, who the presumptive GOP presidential nominee put "into a dog carrier on the roof of his station wagon for a 12-hour trip to Ontario," on dozens of occasions in her Times column in the almost five years since the story first appeared. Yet during those five years, it seems she has never recognized (and if she has, she certainly has not been chastened by) the existence an exceptionally positive dog-related Romney story printed in her employer's own paper on July 8, 2003. It follows the jump (underlines are mine; presented in full for fair use and discussion purposes):
(Click here or on graphic to see a larger version in a separate tab or window)
The Boston Herald's coverage at the time (HT The American Enterprise Institute's American Blog via Hot Air) had a bit more concerning the canine aspect of the story showing that the rescuing Romneys gave McKenzie special consideration:
The rescuing Romneys also managed to snatch the family dog, McKenzie, from a watery grave — grabbing the Scottish terrier first because it was the only passenger without a lifejacket.
"It looked like it wasn't going to last much longer," said Josh, who held the waterlogged pooch on the ride back to shore.
Ms. Collins is not the only one whose failures require call-outs.
The story itself is from the Associated Press, which has gleefully played along with the trumped-up dog show protest stories and related Democratic Party-driven histrionics. I haven't seen any such related AP story bring up the 2003 rescue, which occurred 20 years after the Seamus incident.
There are also dozens of New England-based establishment press reporters and editors who learned of and/or ran the Romney family-and-dog rescue story in 2003 (14 stories are still in Google News's archive) who have remained strangely silent for nearly five years while the "Romney treats dogs like dirt" story has grown into a clearly false yet full-blown meme.
The best way to avoid inevitable disappointment is to expect stone-cold silence about the resurfaced rescue story from the clearly negligent parties and then be pleasantly surprised if anything positive happens. In light of the President's boyhood appetite for canine cuisine and the Romney rescue, the only question is if anyone in the press will still have the gall to try and milk a 29 year-old story which has clearly been trumped by one less than a decade old (and only four years old at the time the Seamus story was first raised). My guess is that many will.

I think it's time to move beyond a candidate's dog style.
I mean, Romney saves dogs lives; Obama eats 'em.
Romney gives a dog hours of pleasure without the poor thing having to hang out the window as the car speeds along; Obama eats 'em.
Romney never trots out his dog as a campaign prop; Obama only sees Bo when he needs him for a prop. (I suspect that secretly Obama is ashamed of Bo because he is black; and it makes Obama hungry whenever Bo is around.)
Romney's dog style seems fairly harmless and humane.
Obama's dog style is giving this nation sore knees and a big pain in the a$$.

Gail Collins is OCD on the Seamus issue. No other way.
Submitted by drsamherman on Sun, 04/29/2012 - 11:14am.
The obsession (fixed false belief interfering with normal activities of daily living) is definitely that somehow Seamus the dog will convince people not to vote for Romney. The compulsion (single focused behavior driving synergism with obsession) is writing about it constantly.
Any questions?

is not "stone-cold silence about the resurfaced rescue story from the clearly negligent parties".
What I expect is that some leftist will immediately fasten on the fact the Romney was at his "summer home".
Aaeeee! Evil white male person, with money! The horror, the horror!
All the while sleeping through the fact that if he and his family hadn't been at this evil summer home, they wouldn't have been in a position to rescue these folks.
As far as Ms. Collins goes (to quote my dad), "my mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts".

Dog tales
Submitted by mulgamutt on Sun, 04/29/2012 - 7:30pm.
When I was 12, we moved from Leonora in Western Australia to Brisbane, Queensland, a road trip of about 2,565 miles. Dad was in front, in the Isuzu two-ton flatbed, and Mum followed in the Holden station wagon. Our dog, Sam, which ironically was also an Irish Setter, rode the entire trip on the back of the truck amongst all our stuff.
Am I supposed to believe that was cruel? If noise and wind is an issue to a dog, why do they insist on sticking their heads out of car windows at any speed? (According to science, it's to take in all the scents that fly their way).
In my book, the Romney dog story is a non-story. The Obama dog story, given that he was apparently 6 years old at the time, is also a non-story. However, if Obama was repulsed by his own experience, perhaps he'd have said so, or perhaps even donated towards some charity that looks to eradicate the practice in that part of the world.

At 11 AM this morning Veterans, Students, and citizens lined up and down Main Street in East Helena to enjoy the Annual Veterans Day Parade. Veterans Affairs from Fort Harrison helped with the parade which lead to a ceremony at Main Street Park.
Director of Veterans Affairs for the Montana Healthcare System, Johnny Ginnity says, "One of the things why I thought it was important to be here today is I have been fortunate to be part of the Air Force for 24 years and I recently retired and I wanted to continue to serve our Veterans through working with the Veterans Administration, and coming out here today just allows us to pay tribute to those service men and women who have served before us and who are continuing to serve and also to thank their families for the support and the community for their support."
The ceremony at Main Street Park included a message from Congressman Steve Daines in regards to him thanking all those who have served and is happy to be serving Montana citizens. After the parade and ceremony the public was invited to a lunch with the Veterans.

By Gretchen M. Putnam
---- — LAWRENCE — A North Andover man fell into a South Union Street store Thursday night, bleeding heavily from a stab wound to the chest, gasping for air, and unable to tell police who tried to kill him.
Juan Gonzales, 31, of North Andover, walked into the at about 4:30 p.m., and according to witnesses, dropped to his knees. A woman inside the store told police Gonzales appeared to be "peeking through the window as if someone were after him and he was gripping his chest."
He told the woman to call for an ambulance, then he crawled on the floor before curling up into a fetal position and saying he couldn't breathe, according to the police report.
Officers arrived and helped Gonzales remove several layers of clothes to find the wound. Officer Patrick Noonan wrote in his police report that he saw a horizontal gash near Gonzales' heart. Another witness, who works at Lawrence General Hospital, gave Noonan Latex gloves to put over the wound as Officer David Levesque applied pressure.
Noonan said "at this point Gonzales was struggling to keep consciousness. I was performing sternum rubs and yelling at him to stay awake." Noonan asked if he knew who stabbed him and "he shook his head no" according to the report.
Medics who arrived at the scene applied a dressing to Gonzales' wound and transported him to Lawrence General Hospital. A medical helicopter later transferred him to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston where he was treated for life-threatening wounds.
A spokeswoman at Beth Israel said the hospital had no information to release about Gonzales.
"He was in ICU (intensive care unit), but we were told his condition has improved," Lawrence police Chief John Romero said last night.
Nobody has been charged in connection with the stabbing. Police would not comment last night on whether they have any suspects and whether Gonzales knew his assailant.
"The investigation is progressing and we expect to make an arrest in the case," Chief Romero said, declining to elaborate.
Detectives still haven't determined where the stabbing occurred, but believe it was "somewhere on South Union Street," Romero said.
Police canvassed the area Thursday night, took photos and reviewed video footage from surrounding businesses to try and locate where the stabbing occurred and to try identify a suspect.
"The roads and sidewalk were wet, and slushy from the snow and rain," Officer Noonan wrote in his report. "We were unable to locate any blood or signs of where Gonzales was possibly stabbed. "

St. Patrick's Day Weekend in Savannah kicked off Friday afternoon with the Sergeant William Jasper Memorial Ceremony in Madison Square.
This event is the only St. Patrick's Day tradition dedicated solely to the military. Sergeant Jasper was an Irish-American who fought and died defending Savannah in the Revolutionary War. Even before he died, there was a unit of the Georgia Militia based in Savannah that bore his name.
The ceremony honors all servicemen and women, with special recognition for those of Irish descent. The Irish Air Corps Pipe Band, the 3rd Infantry Division Band were all present at the event. Grand Marshall Jimmy Ray and City of Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson were also there.
Frank Baker with the St. Patrick's Day Committee says the recent events in Khandahar make this week the perfect time to honor our military.
"We honor them, especially this week, the six soldiers from the Third ID who lost their lives."
The memorial ceremony originated in 1979.

Virginia Beach police say investigators have identified the shooter of an unidentified person at the birthday party of Eagles QB Michael Vick, but no charges will be filed in the case.
That means Vick will be off the hook for any potential legal trouble. The NFL hasn't yet said whether Vick will avoid any discipline from the league or the team.
"Investigators were able to determine the identity of the shooter," the statement read. "Unfortunately because of the lack of cooperation from the victim, coupled with the reluctance of witnesses, the Commonwealth Attorney's Office, upon reviewing all of the evidence, has determined that no charges will be filed in this case at this time.
"Because the suspect will not be charged, his identity cannot be released by police. There are no other suspects in this case, including Michael Vick."
Although police won't release the identity of the victim, Vick's attorney, Larry Woodward, has said it was Quanis Phillips, who was a co-defendant in Vick's dogfighting case.

The elements in this training come from the world recognized 72-hour Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) Course. Bill has assembled some of the most essential and useful pieces of this training to give the beginning and experienced student effective ideas of where and how to apply permaculture thinking and design to their own yard, life and community. This is a condensed version of the full PDC course.
Permaculture (permanent-culture) is a design approach which develops sustainable, abundant, and integrated ways of living that work with nature, harvesting her natural abundance in only sustainable ways. Permaculture honors the earth as it does people. Much like yoga, permaculture is essentially a spiritual approach to living consciously, harmoniously, responsibly and healthfully on the planet.
By practicing permaculture it is possible for us as individuals and communities to not only live abundantly but to do so while leaving the planet in better condition than when we arrived on it. We can live lightly. We can live well. We can each make a difference... a big difference.
'For practitioners of Yoga, permaculture can offer a practice in which our external actions express the core yogic teachings of the unity of all creation and the yamas and niyamas. For practitioners of permaculture, Yoga offers an understanding of our basic spiritual nature which underpins all our actions.'
— Swami Omkarananda
- Creating landscapes that come alive with beauty and food
- Growing food almost anywhere including concrete lots, rooftops, and apartments
- Multiple ways to hold water on the landscape when/where needed
- Creating low-cost abundance
- Connecting to the life and the work that we love
Bill's goal is for students to leave this training seeing the world through a new pair of eyes and possessing the confidence, know-how and inspiration to begin their own projects.
Besides a deeper understanding of permaculture, at this workshop students will receive a wealth of handouts and links that will assist in anchoring the training and help to facilitate one's continuing search for meaning, abundance and an authentic life.
'Sampling the Yoga tradition at this unique site on Paradise Island, Bahamas, will help students better appreciate the connection between spirit and the real abundance surrounds us at all times.'
— Bill Wilson

Phineas and Ferb Bento Box
Kick off the 104 days of summer vacation with a fun and healthy Phineas and Ferb lunch!
Phineas and Ferb Bento Contents:
- Phineas and Ferb-topped sandwiches
- Dried mixed berries
- Cantaloupe flowers
- Cucumber slices
Sandwich Ingredients: Sandwich bread and fillings; white cheese, carrot, cucumber, boiled egg whites, cream cheese or hummus to "glue" the pieces together
Tools needed: Sandwich template, rolling pin, small sharp knife and cutting board, straw or round fondant cutter (to make eyes), small oval fondant cutter (to make eyes)
Sandwich Instructions:
1. Make sandwich as desired. We used turkey and roast beef on multigrain sandwich rounds.
2. Using the template as a guide, cut Phineas and Ferb heads from white cheese.
3. Using a slice of egg white, cut out one oval for Phineas' eye. Overlapping the first oval, cut out a partial second oval for the other eye (see template).
4. Using a second slice of egg white, cut out one larger circle for Ferb's eye. Using a smaller straw or cutter, cut out a second circle for Ferb's other eye. Ferb's eyes are two different sizes.
5. With a small straw and cucumber peel, cut out two small circles to dot Ferb's eyes, one small circle for Phineas' front eye and a half-circle for Phineas' rear eye.
6. With a dot of cream cheese or hummus on a toothpick tip, dot the cucumber to hold the pieces in place.
7. Slice a thin piece of carrot (orange cheese works too) and use the template to cut Phineas' hair. To attach, dot the back with hummus or cream cheese.
8. For Ferb's hair, carefully slice the peel off the side of a cucumber and use the template to cut. Save the cucumber for inside the bento. Attach hair with dots of cream cheese or hummus.
9. Carefully move Phineas and Ferb to the top of the sandwich to decorate it. Use a few more dots of cream cheese or hummus to help hold them in place.
* For cantaloupe stars or flowers, slice the cantaloupe and cut with a small metal cookie cutter. Save the extra pieces for fruit salad or just for underneath the decorative pieces.

In Brooklyn, pizza is the quintessential fast food. People discuss and defend it as vehemently as they defend their favorite baseball team. One may ask where's the best 'za in Brooklyn? Oh, but is it worth waiting in line? Who makes the best crust? Whose sauce is the freshest? Is it coal-fired or brick oven pizza? And, Brooklynites claim world dominance over pizza and hero sandwiches despite the ever-changing culinary scene of the NBC—New Brooklyn Cuisine. Still pizza wizards with names like Carmine perform ancient pizza rituals and claim starry-eyed followers for generations. No matter where they may roam, people from Coney Island, Carroll Gardens, Bed Stuy, Midwood, Greenpoint, Prospect Park and Williamsburg—the old hoods can wax poetic when asked about their favorite pizza joints.
So, it's not without some street chutzpah that one names their restaurant Brooklyn Joe's Pizza, Pasta & Grill without the ever-so-likely possibility of being called out on it. During my visit, I wanted a genuine Brooklyn slice with Italian sausage—my litmus test. Firstly, the slice was huge, hot and dripping with melted mozzarella cheese. The crust was perfectly crisp and chewy at the same time. Before I was finished the first slice, I flagged the server to put in my order for a second one. Yeah, that good.
Here is what I will return to Brooklyn Joe's for: The Brooklyn Dodger—a basil pesto pizza topped with chicken, roasted red peppers, artichokes, black olives, bruschetta tomatoes, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses; The New Yorker—a red sauced pizza with pepperoni, meatballs, sausage, ham, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, garlic, onions and extra cheese. I suspect that the very creative 5th Avenue Pie with chipotle ranch sauce with chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, red onions, artichoke hearts, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses will bring me tears of sheer pleasure. These are just three from Brooklyn Joe's list of 13 "out of the park" creations.
The rest of the menu is sure to satisfy the broadest of tastes. The appetizers are normal fare with two outliers of note: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Dip ($6.50) and the Fried Calamari ($8.95). From among the salad selections, check out the Ebbet's Field, a huge bed of mixed greens with a mango pineapple vinaigrette dressing with grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, candied walnuts and sliced apples, known by other names, but magnificent nonetheless. The Chopped Antipasto Salad is a bowl of mixed greens with chopped ham, salami, cappicola, Provolone cheese, tomatoes with roasted red peppers and kalamata olives ($8.95).
If it's wings you crave, Brooklyn Joe's has them with sauce that is mild, medium, hot and deadly. You've been warned. The Deli Sandwiches are 12 in number with the Corned Beef on Rye, a Brooklyn favorite is a "must try" ($7.95). From the "Heros" selections, the tried and true Sausage, Peppers and Onions Hero has been known to cause midnight cravings and the Famous Italian Combo: a regular sub served hot ("grinder") or cold is the mainstay of any respectable pizza parlor ($7.95). Here, the 10-inch sub roll is crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and heaped with ham, salami, cappicola, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, oil and vinegar—no mayonnaise allowed!
The Pasta Creations, a section of this aggressive menu offers a wide variety of pastas with your choice of sauces: Marinara, Meat Sauce, Meatballs, Italian Sausage, Cardinale Sauce, Alfredo, and Broccoli, Garlic and Oil to which you can match with all manner of pastas. You can choose, spaghetti, Cappellini, Bowtie, Penne, Whole Wheat Penne and Gluten Free Penne. Further along under The Pasta Bowl, Joe's Ravioli is a star with pasta pillows stuffed with ricotta cheese, herbs, meat sauce and chunks of meatballs ($8.95-Lunch; $9.95-Dinner).
Have a party coming up in the near future? Brooklyn Joe's can cater your affair with the same delicious salads, sandwiches, pasta entrees, baked and specialty pastas and desserts.
Grimaldi's (reputed to have the best pizza in Brooklyn) is 896 miles from Canton, GA, but there is no need to pack your bags or gas up the car, just head on over to 2060 Cumming Highway, order the pizza of your choice and close your eyes.

Marine kills two at Quantico base, takes own life
The shootings took place late on Thursday in the vicinity of the Marine Corps Base at Quantico's Officer Candidate School, and all three people who died were identified as Marines, Marines spokesman Sergeant Christopher Zahn said.
"An isolated shooting incident has occurred at Officer Candidate School, Quantico," the base said on its Facebook page. "The suspect has been barricaded by law enforcement personnel."
The Facebook message told base residents to remain in their homes with their doors locked, until the lockdown was lifted before dawn on Friday. No other injuries were reported, and Zahn could give no details as to a motive for the shootings.
"The investigation is in the very early stages," he said.
The shootings came days after seven U.S. Marines were killed in a mortar explosion at an Army munitions depot in Nevada during a live-fire training exercise.
In that incident on Monday, a lightweight mortar exploded prematurely in its firing tube, killing the Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, who had been undergoing mountain warfare training, and wounding eight other service members.
It prompted the Marines to order a blanket suspension of the use of 60mm mortars pending a review.

Soccer picks up important 10th win of the season
October 23, 2009
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College soccer team picked up their 10th win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Ripon College from Wisconsin. This marks the second time that Salem's soccer team has reached 10 wins in the past three seasons. Kim Wisen (Madison, OH) struck a shot that beat Ripon's goalie in the 87th minute. Salem improves to 10-6-1 with the victory.
The scoring started in the 26th minute when Salem scored on an own goal by Ripon. The goal happened because of the pressure put on by Tara Madden (Greenville, SC), which caused a Ripon defender to put it in their own net. Ripon would score a minute later to tie up the game. The first half was evenly played and ended at 1-1.
Salem picked up its play in the second half. Wisen blasted a shot by the goalie with just three minutes remaining for the win. Salem outshot Ripon 9-1 in the second half, and 15-8 in the game. Salem had four corners to one by Ripon, and Jazmine Bridgeman (Mill Springs, NC) picked up the win in goal.
Salem returns to action this Monday when they host Ferrum College in their final regular season game at 3:30. The game will also be Michala Michaux (Morganton, NC) and Tori Collier's (Raleigh, NC) seniorday.

I am most passionate about discovery. I spend a lot of time thinking about the world, about society, about why we do the things we do and how we learn the things we know.
I enjoy many things about teaching at MIIS, but what I enjoy most is perhaps the sense of community that builds over the semester, together with the feeling of working towards a common goal. What excites me about being at MIIS is the diversity of experience and breadth of knowledge that the faculty and the student population bring.

Absolutely love this wallet. Very nice and it was easy to order and shipped out fast!
I would love to see a line of purses and backpacks in the Teal color.
Love the new wallet: efficient & tasteful. The monogram options make it!
Color is bright and vibrant. It holds everything a wall at wallet should! I love it!
It was a lovely, well-made purse but too small for my purposes. The coin purse was especially small. I like to have a divided coin section that I can put my smaller bills in one side, an emory board, hold receipts and coins in the other side....I have returned this purse.
I am very happy with this item. it was just the right size, and it serves my needs. and as I have said. I will be ordering more items
in the future.
zipper was strong, leather was soft,and the compartments inside were staged well.
I am very pleased with my new wallet. I only wish it had two sections for cash because I like to keep my smaller bills separated from my smaller ones.
Wished red wallet color was more red.
It's pinkish red. Still a great wallet.
I have purchased five of this particular wallets. Love them all.
My wallet is beautiful; just what I thought it would be. The service, superb. Thanks Leatherology
This was my first order from Leatherology. My husband is extremely pleased with the zippered leather wallet that I ordered on his behalf. The product is very well crafted and was received in record time. Even the gift box was attractive. I'm quite impressed with this website and will no doubt re-visit again. Thank you for the excellent workmanship and speedy service.
My first review (text)
It's exactly what I wanted Easy to do

Henri Richards Sr., shot his first seven-point buck on the first shot two weeks ago near Auburn, Ind., after waiting a half-hour in a heated deer blind.
The 74-year-old couldn't contain his excitement.
"It went down on the first shot. Everybody was jumping up and down and screaming," Richards said. "I've had bypass heart surgery and a pacemaker put in my heart. I thought it was going to go off, I was so excited."
He was hunting with his son, Henri Richards, Jr., and a guide from the group, Hunters Helping Hunters, based in Auburn.
Their mission is to improve the quality of life for physically challenged and or seriously ill hunters like himself, Richards said.
"I still haven't come back to the ground after getting my first buck," he added, laughing.
A friend told him about the group a few years ago, so Richards found their website online and filled out an application to go hunting and after the third time hunting with Hunters Helping Hunters, it proved to be successful for him.
"They are processing my deer in Auburn and will bring it to me packaged and frozen. I love venison," he said. "They are even mounting my deer for me since I was their oldest applicant who shot a buck on the first try."
He plans to hang the deer mount on the wall in his living room in a prominent place.
"It's a wonderful situation. It's unbelievable," Richards said. "It was a good day for me, but not for the deer."
He shared the contents of his freezer with a local family so he could make room for the venison.
"I'll try about anything — even bear meat—which someone gave me some. It's pretty good. I love to bake and cook. All my neighbors are getting fat," he said, chuckling. "I sit in my little apartment and enjoy what time the Good Lord has left for me. I enjoy life with my kitty, Katie."

|Big Green steamrolls Kalida in PCL
|Friday, May 10, 2013 12:41 AM
By BOB WEBER
The Delphos Herald
KALIDA — Two veteran baseball coaches faced off Thursday night in Kalida for their annual Putnam County League matchup.
Head Coach Tony Castronova, with over 200 wins, brought his Ottoville Big Green team to battle the Wildcats of Kalida under the direction of Jim McBride, who recently recorded his 350th win on his career.
Thursday night was a night that Coach McBride would soon like to forget as the Big Green dominated the play from start to finish in a 15-0 5-inning win over the Wildcats.
The Big Green jumped on the Wildcats from the opening pitch as senior leadoff hitter Derek Schimmoeller tripled over the outstretched arm of the Wildcats' right fielder. Junior Luke Schimmoeller brought his brother home with a double down the left-field line that eluded the left fielder and shortstop. Sophomore Brandon Boecker reached base safely on an error by the Wildcat shortstop, putting runners on first and third. Freshman Jared Fanning plated Schimmoeller with the Big Green's second run of the inning on a sacrifice fly to left field.
The Wildcats got a runner on in the bottom of the first when freshman Austin Swift singled up the middle with one out but was left stranded when the next two batters flied out to end the inning.
The second inning saw the Big Green not let up on their success from the first inning. Senior Bryan Hohlbein started with a double and moved to third on a balk called on Wildcats' senior starting pitcher Kyle Landin. Senior Cory Fischer brought home Hohlbein with a sacrifice fly to left, making the score 3-0. Seniors Craig Odenweller and (Derek) Schimmoeller both reached safely with singles, putting runners on first and third. Senior Jacob Turnwald knocked in the Big Green's fourth run with a ground out, scoring Odenweller.
The Big Green blew the game wide open in the top of the third as they batted around, scoring six runs on four hits and three walks. Boecker opened with an infield hit and Fanning and junior Alex Horstman walked, loading the bases. Hohlbein singled for his second hit of the game, scoring both Boecker and Fanning. The Big Green again loaded the bases and (Derek) Schimmoeller's single plated another two runs (Hohlbein and Fischer). Turnwald's ground out and (Luke) Schimmoeller's single brought in the fifth and sixth Big Green runs of the inning, extending their lead to 10-0.
The visitors weren't done yet. In the top of the fourth inning, they scored an additional five more runs. Senior Zach Weber, batting for Fanning, led off the inning and was hit by a pitch. Sophomore Joel Beining — hitting for Horstman — singled. Fischer and Odenweller drew 1-out walks that eventually scored Weber, making the score 11-0. (Derek) Schimmoeller singled (his 4th hit of the game), scoring Beining. Turnwald drew a bases-loaded walk, scoring Fischer. (Luke) Schimmoeller reached first safely on an error by the Wildcat shortstop, scoring Odenweller, and Boecker knocked in the final Big Green run with a ground out to third base.
Starting Big Green pitcher (Luke) Schimmoeller only allowed two hits, picking up the win on the evening, both coming off the bat of Swift. Schimmoeller struck out three and did not walk a batter.
The Wildcats used three pitchers for the game as Landin went the first two innings. Junior Randy Zeller pitched 1 2/3 and sophomore Colton Farrell finished the last 1 1/3 innings. Landin picked up the loss.
The Big Green got a 12-hit team performance on the game with Derek Schimmoeller 4-5, scoring three runs and knocking in three runs. Odenweller reached base safely all four times at the plate with one hit and three walks. Hohlbein and (Luke) Schimmoeller added two hits apiece.
The evening was a bittersweet one for the Wildcats with the loss to the Big Green coupled with senior night and the last home game McBride would coach. The Wildcat faithful acknowledged their six seniors (Landin, Neil Recker, Rob Kleman, Adam Knueve, Kyle Vorst and Austin Horstman) and Coach McBride with one more trip around the bases, a flower for Mom and Dad and big thanks to their fellow coaches, teammates, families, friends and fans.
The Wildcats (5-9, 2-4 PCL) will travel to Miller City tonight for a 5 p.m. non-league matchup. The Big Green (8-7, 5-2 PCL) will host the Lincolnview Lancers.

Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Barack ObamaŌĆÖs Really Bad Day
May 18, 2012 by Chip Wood
When thereŌĆÖs something to celebrate, itŌĆÖs called a red-letter day. A black-letter day, on the other hand, is ŌĆ£a day on which a great incident of misfortune happened or has happened.ŌĆØ Well, Barack Obama had a black-letter day last week. In fact, May 8 may go down as the turning point in his re-election campaign — the day voters made it clear he would be a one-term President.
There were four pivotal events on May 8. LetŌĆÖs begin with the one that may have been the most telling: the Democratic primary in West Virginia. Did you know that ObamaŌĆÖs primary opponent there got 41 percent of the vote and actually won 10 counties?
Unless you live in West Virginia, you probably didnŌĆÖt even know that the President had a primary opponent there. But hereŌĆÖs the most amazing part: His opponent didnŌĆÖt make a single public appearance in the contest.
He didnŌĆÖt because he couldnŌĆÖt; he was in jail at the time!
ThatŌĆÖs right. Keith Judd, the guy who came close to defeating an incumbent President in West VirginiaŌĆÖs primary, is better known as inmate No. 11593-051 at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas.
All Judd had to do to get on the ballot was file the proper paperwork and pay a $2,500 fee.
WSAZ.com reported that Judd said: ŌĆ£Some outside supporter provided that to the Secretary of State; I do have outside support. IŌĆÖm unaware of who that particular person was, and whether it was a person or a collection of persons.ŌĆØ
Judd has a history of entering various contests. According to New Mexico Telegram, Judd ran three times as a write-in candidate in New Mexico: twice for Mayor of Albuquerque and once for Governor. Judd himself told WSAZ.com that heŌĆÖs been a perennial Presidential candidate since 1996. The Associated Press reported that in 2008, his name was on the Democratic Party ballot in Idaho.
I guess every inmate needs a hobby.
And IŌĆÖm not surprised that four out of 10 Democratic voters in West Virginia would prefer anyone to Obama. After all, the President has made it clear heŌĆÖll do everything he can to destroy the coal industry in this country.
Prohibit businesses from burning coal, and thereŌĆÖs no reason to mine the stuff. Destroy coal mining, and you pretty much destroy the economy of West Virginia. ThatŌĆÖs not hard for the folks there to understand. So itŌĆÖs really no surprise that a lot of voters there would prefer anybody — even a jailbird — over the incumbent President. Look for every Democrat in the State to distance themselves as far as possible from the President in their own campaigns.
ObamaŌĆÖs re-election committee knows they didnŌĆÖt have a chance of carrying the State. They wrote it off long ago. But if West Virginia doesnŌĆÖt matter to the Democrats, North Carolina certainly does. The State is viewed as so crucial to Democratic prospects this year that they decided to hold their national convention in Charlotte.
So what happened when North Carolinians went to vote last week? They voted overwhelmingly in favor of adding a new amendment to the State Constitution, declaring that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Obama and Joe Biden had publicly opposed the measure. Bill Clinton even recorded robocalls against it. And when pollsters queried citizens before the vote how they felt about it, many people in the State claimed they werenŌĆÖt in favor of it.
But it turns out there can be a big difference between what people say in public and how they vote in private. Voters in North Carolina turned out in record numbers for the election. And once they closed the curtain behind them, 61 percent of them voted to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Period.
(By the way, about 20 percent of Democratic voters checked ŌĆ£no preferenceŌĆØ in the Presidential primary. Since Obama carried the State by a slim 14,000-vote margin in 2008, you have to think his prospects are iffy for winning it again this year.)
So what did the President do? The very next day after North Carolina passed a gay marriage ban, he came out in favor of gay marriage. ThatŌĆÖs a strange way to get voters in the Tar Heel State enthusiastic about your candidacy, wouldnŌĆÖt you say? This issue could even put a dent in the nearly unanimous support he receives from black voters.
Of course, the media have gone absolutely gaga over the PresidentŌĆÖs announcement. TheyŌĆÖve been waiting 3.5 years for his position to ŌĆ£evolveŌĆØ this far. Newsweek magazine put the PresidentŌĆÖs face on the cover under the headline ŌĆ£The First Gay President.ŌĆØ A rainbow-colored halo appeared above ObamaŌĆÖs head.
The Democrats are counting on the PresidentŌĆÖs position to win them more support than it costs them. Time will tell if theyŌĆÖve guessed right. Certainly, it wonŌĆÖt hurt him in Hollywood. A $40,000-a-head fundraiser at George ClooneyŌĆÖs house a few days later raised more than $15 million for ObamaŌĆÖs re-election coffers. But Hollywood isnŌĆÖt the heartland. And the louder the gay rights brigade gets, the more votes it will cost them.
For our last two examples of ObamaŌĆÖs really bad day, letŌĆÖs turn to the Midwest. One of the most important primary elections this year took place in Indiana, where voters told Richard Lugar it was time for him to retire from the Senate.
I almost said they decided to send him ŌĆ£back home.ŌĆØ But actually that was part of the problem. It seems Lugar hasnŌĆÖt had a legal residence in Indiana for decades. For years, he listed a house he sold in 1977 on his voter-registration form.
Lugar had not faced a primary opponent since he was first elected to the Senate in 1976. But this year, conservatives united behind Richard Mourdock, a well-known and popular state official. Mourdock had the support of several Tea Party groups, the Club for Growth and Freedom Works.
So much for rumors that the Tea Party movement was a one-time phenomenon.
The Lugar campaign resorted to the same sort of scare tactics weŌĆÖre going to see a lot of this year. In one TV commercial, a white-haired grandmother-type says, ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs not thinking, is he? No idea of consequences, what this means to people. HeŌĆÖs going to ruin people.ŌĆØ While she speaks, the following sentence appears: ŌĆ£Richard Mourdock has a plan to cut every seniorŌĆÖs Social Security by nearly $2,500 a year.ŌĆØ
Happily, Hoosier voters didnŌĆÖt buy it. Lugar received less than 40 percent of the primary vote, despite blatant appeals to Democrats and independents to vote for him in the Republican primary. Will this momentum carry Mourdock to victory in November? WeŌĆÖll find out in six months.
Finally, please direct your attention to Wisconsin, where we wonŌĆÖt have to wait nearly so long for an answer. As youŌĆÖll recall, labor unions have spent millions of dollars there and imported thousands of activists to force a recall election for their nemesis, Republican Governor Scott Walker.
That election takes place on June 5. But the primary to pick his opponent was also held a week ago Tuesday. And significantly enough, more people cast ballots for Walker than for any other candidate.
One day, four elections. And four warnings for the left that a whole lot of voters want to see some changes made — just not the ones Obama and his buddies are trying to shove down our throats.
Until next time, keep some powder dry.
–Chip Wood

Alexandria, Va. and Americus, Ga. - Sept. 9, 2000 - Habitat for Humanity International and the SAINTS Foundation today announced a new partnership. The SAINTS (Safety, Awareness and Independence Now Through Security) Foundation, supported by trade associations and private companies in the security industry, will donate security services, including the installation of burglar and fire alarms and, lock hardware, to each Habitat project in North America. SAINTS and Habitat estimate that the donation could reach $9.5 million in the first year of the project. This level of donation places the SAINTS Foundation in the Cornerstone Society of Habitat for Humanity's More Than Houses: Rebuilding Our Communities campaign, chaired by former Secretary for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp.
"The security industry and the SAINTS Foundation are very proud and honored to be affiliated with Habitat for Humanity," said Ron Spiller, president of the SAINTS Foundation and executive director of the Security Industry Association, the industry trade group that initiated the foundation's formation. "Individual empowerment is a great part of what Habitat provides. That uniquely parallels the security industry. Our technology empowers people to feel secure and promotes safe communities. It's a great partnership."
"We are grateful for this significant contribution from the SAINTS Foundation and the security industry," said Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "Habitat for Humanity has a commitment to creating safe housing and safe communities and this partnership will help us fulfill that commitment."
The SAINTS/Habitat partnership will commence with the Jimmy Carter Work Project. Homes in New York City and Sumter County, Georgia will be outfitted with burglar and fire alarms, and quality lock hardware, all donated through the SAINTS Foundation. Habitat homeowners will also be provided with a special Habitat central station monthly monitoring rate. Monitoring of the systems provides 24 hour a day, 365 days a year protection for the homeowners.
The initial security industry donors to the SAINTS/Habitat program are ADT Security Services, Inc., Brink's Home Security, NAPCO Security Group, Securitron Magnalock (an ASSA ABLOY Group Company) and Select Engineered Systems.
The SAINTS Foundation was created as an extension of the SAINTS program, which donated burglar and fire alarm systems to churches in the Congress of National Black Churches Church Rebuilding and Arson Prevention Program. That program won the Organization of Excellence Award from the Greater Washington Society of Association Executives and the Summit Award in the Associations Advance America program from the American Society of Association Executives.
Dedicated to eliminating poverty housing, Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry founded by Millard Fuller along with his wife, Linda. HFHI and its 1,988 affiliates in 68 nations have built and sold nearly 100,000 homes to partner families at no profit with zero-interest mortgages. With the More Than Houses campaign, Habitat plans to extend that number to 200,000 by the end of 2005. And, according to campaign chair Jack Kemp, commitment like that from the SAINTS Foundation will enable Habitat to reach its goal. "More Than Houses' success requires a collaborative effort," said Kemp. "The SAINTS commitment is a perfect demonstration of that."

Preschool Programs @ Bosler
Bosler Library presents a variety of storytime programs every week for ages 24-hours to kindergarten. Our mission is to present language and reading experiences from an early age, through the use of music, rhymes, games, crafts, and other learning experiences, as well as books.
Parental participation is required at all programs unless otherwise noted. After all, reading and learning are enhanced when they become a family experience.
See all story times on our calendar.
What should my child and I expect at these programs?
When you and your child participate in these programs you can expect a warm and welcoming experience. Your child will be participating in a high-quality early learning program that is based on the best practices in early learning. You as a parent will learn practical and fun ways to extend learning beyond the program into your daily life. Most of all, you and your child will have fun learning.
How do I prepare my child for programs?
So that programs are equally beneficial to all children in attendance, we ask parents to talk with their children beforehand about appropriate and polite behavior. It might also be a good idea to arrive at the library a few moments early to help your child settle in, taking care of restroom concerns before the program begins.
Holidays and Closings
There are no programs held during the following holiday weeks: New Year's, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. There are also no programs held the first full week of June, as we begin our annual Summer Reading Club.

The thing mentioned in the headline that the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw "has" sounds like a prize you'd get in a jar of peanuts, or some strange interplanetary disease.
It's a foot injury. More from Ken Gurnick:
Kershaw took a painful step going to first base Monday night, and Mattingly said it's "a little plantar fasciitis. He took a funny step and just felt it."
Mattingly said Kershaw has been receiving treatment for the condition for "at least a week."
"He says he doesn't feel it at all [while pitching, only when running]. They're trying different tape and things at night to help it go away," Mattingly said.
The wisecrack response to feeling it while running is "don't run", although that's not usually an option for a baseball player. Plantar fasciitis can linger, so it's good the Dodgers found it quickly. It didn't seem to bother Kershaw Monday night, when he threw seven solid innings against the Phillies.

Intellectual Property Primer
If you're responsible for creating or revising your institution's intellectual policy (IP) statement, you may be wondering where to start. You can review policies from other institutions, but without a little background, the whole process can seem overwhelming.
We created this primer to give you a place to start. We interviewed IP professionals from a variety of backgrounds, and discovered that although they didn't always agree on the elements of a good policy, their ideas frequently overlapped.
