This is good. When these people go "home", jobs will open up for American citizens. The sooner they leave, the better. If this is not your home, you are not an immigrant, you are a colonial. To put it bluntly, these people are human locusts.

How about we get smart talented US citizens to take their place, god knows you only have a pool of 300+ million to choose from!

Btw, If an US industry doesn't mainly employ (95%) US citizens, then it has no value to the country. Let it die!

Savannah will be the scene of several
training exercises Tuesday.
Law enforcement officers and military
personnel from at least six agencies will be in town to learn how to handle
civil unrest.
Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department's Mobile
Field Force is hosting the exercise and measures have been taken to limit the
inconvenience to the public.
According to SCMPD, the exercise depicts a scenario that residents are returning
to the area 24 hours after an evacuation order has been rescinded to find a
multitude of unexpected issues. The lack of electrical power, food and water is
amplified by protest groups, outside agitators, bomb threats and a riot at the
county jail.
The exercises will be centered in Grayson Stadium and Daffin
Park and two undisclosed areas, but you may also see emergency vehicles
caravanning between them.

Article By: Aimsel Ponti
Although sake has been in the US for decades, it was, until recently, a fairly one-dimensional beverage consumed almost exclusively with Japanese food. Typically served warm, people either loved sake or hated it. But nowadays, sake is chic. For a number of reasons, sake - particularly chilled sake - has surged in popularity over the last couple of years and its growth continues upwards. While Americans still don't consume nearly as much here as on a world wide level, sake is increasingly becoming part of the vernacular of both serious wine aficionados and people looking to expand their cocktail horizons. In some instances, it is even competing with vodka - being used by bartenders in a myriad of cocktails from martinis to Bloody Marys. There are also a number of flavored sakes, from hazelnut to pear and many more, which have become part of the cocktail culture as well. Additionally, from a health perspective, sake is causing people to wake up and take notice. Most premium sakes are free of sulfites, not to mention additives and preservatives. It also has half the acidity of wine, amino acids and, for what it's worth, is less likely to cause hangovers. Chilled or hot, sparkling or fruity, sake is versatile, readily available and only becoming more popular.
UP, UP and AWAY Has sake seen significant growth in Massachusetts lately? In a word: absolutely. "There's definitely been an influx in sake," says Rich Daly, the manager of Andover Liquors. Daly attributes it in part to the increase in the number of Thai and Japanese restaurants. Standing in the sake section of his store, Daly pointed to the Gekkeikan 75Oml as his number one seller, indicating that he sells about a case a week of it. At $5.99 a bottle, this is one of the less expensive brands and often his customers will graduate to brands such as Momakawa, a domestic sake that comes in five flavors and sells for $12.99. Lloyd Foster, Marketing Director of Classic Wine Imports, also paints a positive picture, saying, "Things are rosy. We're growing over a good base and we grew another 2O percent last year. I never would have imagined we'd be where we are today." Foster sees the growth stemming from two places: the increase in the number of Asian restaurants, and the increase in people buying sake at the retail stores to have with their takeout food. Some of the celebrity also can be traced to sake's television exposure. "The media, such as high profile chefs and cooking shows using sake, brings notoriety that can wake the public to the delight of sake," says John Bottcher, Assistant to the President at Ruby Wines, Inc. On the restaurant front, Sarah Livesey, manager of Blue Ginger restaurant in Wellesley - where they specialize in Asian fusion cuisine - has also seen an increase in sales. She contends that consumers are getting wise to the wonders of sake. "I think as the general population becomes more sophisticated in their tastes across the board and exposed to more things, some of the mystique is being taken out of it. People are more used to seeing sake, more used to drinking it and tasting it, and then it just becomes more familiar," she says.
Once you get a taste for sake, you can start spending some serious money on it. Classic Wine Imports, for example, carries a Daiginyo-style cold sake that comes in a 72Oml bottle and retails for between $9O and $1OO. But who is the customer buying this level of sake? "There's a pretty good bet that the person has been to Japan. The other potential customer is someone who's really interested in wine and figured out that sake is more than one thing," says Lloyd Foster, adding, "That opens the door to get people to try more and different sake. They want to show off; they want to take their friends to a restaurant that has a good sake list."
COOLING THINGS DOWN Although Japanese and other Asian-style restaurants continue to sell large quantities of warm and hot sakes, it's the cold stuff that is really winning consumers over. Essentially, sake is treated as wine, despite its brewery origins, and often when the temperature goes down the flavor goes up. Chilled carafes or bottles along with small wine glasses are the norm for serving it stateside, and restaurants' sake menus continue to grow along with customer interest. What dictates whether sake is best served warm or cold depends on what kind of sake it is. A good rule of thumb is that the higher the quality, the more likely it is to be better enjoyed cold. Here's an example. If you're dealing with a basic Junmai (pure rice sake), then you're much better off serving it warm. But once you get into the higher quality Junmai Ginjos and certainly the Junmai Daiginjos, then chilled is the superior format. So while James Bond may have liked his sake warm in the 1967 classic You Only Live Twice, these days, it's the cold stuff that is consistently winning wine drinkers over. However, virtually all research done on the topic revealed that it is the consumer who should best decide, according to his or her own preference and taste, what temperature works best.
THE LEARNING CURVE Of course, as more people seek out sake in restaurants and stores, the more important it is to have knowledgeable staff selling it. Until recently, the majority of sake-educated people would have been those working in Japanese restaurants. "It's a little bit different because obviously you're dealing with rice instead of grapes and the whole process is very different. There is some overlap but it is a lesson in (and) of itself in teaching it," says David Singer from Libation Education, a professional consulting group that offers wine classes and consulting services for restaurants, corporate clients and private events. Singer also comments on the importance of training restaurant, bar and retail store staff: "Most importantly they should be tasting. Education is huge and having it so your staff is comfortable is more than step one," he explains. "If they're not, they're not going to recommend it; they will never recommend something they are not familiar with." Meanwhile, a shift is afoot in terms of packaging and this should help those intimated by some of the more traditional Japanese labeling. "Sake producers are promoting to the new generation of fine wine consumers by updating the product package while adhering to the unique tradition they value so much," explains John Bottcher. Many labels aren't in English and can be difficult to pronounce, which can sometimes be a barrier. "Producers are making labels with much more color and easier to focus on and read. It is art. The Japanese believe that making sake is an art form and the beautiful, artistic bottles reflect the quality and art of making sake," says Bottcher. Another way to educate customers is by way of a simple handout. Classic Wine Imports uses a two-sided sheet. The first side gives an overview of the different kinds of sake and the second side goes into the brewing process. Lloyd Foster says these have been invaluable for teaching restaurant and bar staff as well as retailers and their customers.
David Singer notes that most people experience their initial rites of passage into the realm of sake via the hot stuff served in Japanese restaurants. "They are introduced by the hot sake which is probably some of the worst sake you'll find. It is absolutely the tip of the iceberg, and like serving white wine too cold; serving sake too hot will hide the faults that are in it," he says. While Singer thinks that in some cases, it's not always the highly discerning customer ordering some of the standard issue hot sakes, he does concede that this is not necessarily a bad thing. "They're enjoying it and that's the important thing. In time they might learn to explore some of the other sakes," says Singer.
TINY BUBBLES How about a little carbonation to jazz things up? Kaze, a recent addition to Boston's Chinatown shabu shabu restaurant scene, has sparkling sake on their menu and it's proven to be quite popular. It is called Puchi Puchi (puchi translates to "small" in Japanese) and Kaze's floor manager Sue Hu says that it "tastes like soda and doesn't have a lot of alcohol in it". Hu also added that women tend to opt for it more frequently. In addition to the Puchi Puchi, Kaze carries 12 other sakes, with Chobei being their number one seller. It comes in 11 ounce bottles and Hu says that some like it hot, while others prefer it chilled. Kaze also does well with Hakushika's extra dry Chokara sake which pairs well with meat dishes. Hu notes that most customers tend to order the most popular one and she hopes that as people get more education on sake that they'll expand their horizons onto some of Kaze's other sake offerings. "Not a lot of people know about sake," says Hu. As for other sparkling sakes, the Gekkeikan brewery, which is one of Japan's largest, also produces a naturally carbonated sake called Zipang. Could sparkling sake be the next hip thing? We'll have to wait and see what bubbles up.
SOMETHING WASABE THIS WAY COMES Grand Island Beverages, out of California, recently launched a 75/25 blend of Dutch vodka and Japanese sake they have named WasabE. It has made its way to the Washington, DC area and should be available in the northeast fairly soon. According to Grand Island Beverages founder Richard Cutler, Wasabe's goal is to be an east-meets-west fusion spirit brand that was inspired in part by the growing interest mainstream America has with all things Japanese. WasabE uses sake brewed in Japan that is then sent to the Netherlands where it is blended with premium Dutch vodka with no additional flavorings added. For more information visit www.wasabeworld.com
The SKY'S the LIMIT The price ranges and varieties of sake are copious and one could spend a lifetime trying them all. "You could probably fill a whole aisle with sake, there's that much out there. A lot more wholesalers are having a larger selection to choose from," says Rich Daly. His sentiment underscores the fact that indeed, there are countless kinds of sake out there already being enjoyed and just waiting to be discovered. In Japan, there are about 17OO sake breweries, better known as kuras. These kuras produce nearly 1O,OOO types of sake. There are also seven producers here in the US. The key ingredient to success with sake is education through reading up on it and certainly through tasting. Also, a little bartender experimentation could easily result in the next hip sake cocktail to hit the scene. Educate yourself, your staff and your customers and see what happens. From the novice to the connoisseur, there's a sake for every person in every price range.

A Great Falls man is now facing multiple charges, after his girlfriend reported he put a gun to her head to get her to sign over parental rights of their unborn child.
The girlfriend told police that Kirk Allen Jordan came to her apartment on Tuesday to pick up his belongings. That's when she claims he demanded her to sign over her parental rights. When she refused, he proceeded to point a gun at her head.
Yesterday, Jordan made his initial appearance on charges of felony assault with a weapon, two counts of carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
His bail has since been set at $50,000. Jordan's arraignment has yet to be scheduled.

11th-hour savings proposed in budgetBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | May 09,2013MONTPELIER In the nick of time to help solve an eleventh-hour budgetary dilemma, the Shumlin administration arrived at the Statehouse Wednesday with millions of dollars in new savings.
On Tuesday, lawmakers and Gov. Peter Shumlin cut a budget deal that will require them to trim $10 million from the fiscal year 2014 spending plan.
On Wednesday, Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding got them nearly halfway there with a proposal for overtime reduction and management strategies and enhanced revenue collections.
Were always looking for ways to improve our management, Spaulding said. And when we look at the options we have out there, were going to have to work harder.
House Minority Leader Don Turner said the timing of the proposals makes him skeptical. He said the savings plan lacks any specificity, and appears to paper over a budgetary problem that Democratic officials dont have the stomach to resolve with more substantive cuts.
If we can save $2.5 million from reduced overtime and improved management, shouldnt we be doing that already? Turner asked. And enhanced revenue collection? It seems like a convenient time for these solutions to suddenly arise.
Spaulding said he appreciates Turners skepticism. The new savings plan had been absent from the first four months of the legislative session, and materialized less than 24 hours after the deal opened up a $10 million hole in next years budget.
But I want to make it clear: its not funny money, Spaulding said.
We think we can generate those savings, Spaulding said. The governor has been clear about not raising taxes. And in order for the administration to do its part to not raise taxes, were going to have to dig deeper.
The $2.5 million in administrative savings and $1.5 million that would be generated by more aggressive revenue collection strategies are the biggest line items in a $6.2 million savings plan agreed to by House and Senate lawmakers Wednesday.
Except for an $850,000 reduction to a reserve fund, that plan avoids cuts altogether, and relies instead on reductions in spending projections to offset the $10 milion gap.
Among those spending reductions: The administration learned recently that it will owe about $1 million less on Medicare payments to the federal government next year, and about $225,000 less on interest payments on its unemployment loan.
Sen. Jane Kitchel, a Caledonia County Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, said she has full confidence in the administrations projections.
We asked that question: are these achievable? Kitchel said. Dont forget were talking about a $1.3 billion (general fund) here. And our view is that the savings are achievable.
Spaulding will return to the Statehouse today with proposals for additional reductions. While lawmakers and the administration have yet to tap the $8 million in projected surplus funds theoretically at their disposal, its possible theyll preserve those dollars to fund a reserve heading into the next fiscal year.
That could make finding the last $4 million in savings more difficult than getting the first $6 million proved to be.
Turner said he worries the House and Senate are simply avoiding the tough budget cuts that their decision not to raise new taxes should have forced them into now.
Im concerned that were going to come back here next January with a budget adjustment request for all the savings theyre booking now that didnt get accomplished.

Dorset mountain bike salute to Royal Marine
11:30am Sunday 3rd June 2012 in News By Catherine Bolado, Senior Reporter
GET on your bike for a charity fundraiser held in tribute to a Royal Marine from Weymouth.
The family and friends of Marine James Wright, who was killed last year while in Afghanistan, will be holding a mountain bike challenge tomorrow.
The three-hour challenge called The 'Big Reach' Mountain Bike Enduro Charity Challenge after the marine's nickname, will take place at Rogershill Raceway, near Bere Regis.
All the money will go to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
The marine from 42 Commando J Company got the nickname 'Big Reach' after befriending a gangster of that name in New York.
He died during an attack on Checkpoint Kamiabi, Afghanistan on August 5, 2011, aged 22.
He leaves behind parents, David and Sallie, sister Katie, partner Shelley Robertson and baby daughter Lilly, known as Little Reach, who was born on December 3, 2011.
His father David Wright, together with James' friends, Rogershill Raceway and Weymouth-business Mud, Sweat and Gears, organised the event.
His friends and family will be taking part as 'Team Dangerous.' Mr Wright said it would be a fitting tribute to James who liked to go mountain biking, kayaking, skiing and take part in Moto X.
He added: "You can do as many laps as you want. People can come in and have a rest and then go back out and do a bit more."
The course will be a four-mile loop for the challenge course and a three-mile loop for an easier route.
The course will be suitable for basic mountain bikes and helmets must be worn.
Mr Wright said: "I'm really looking forward to it, everything fell into place for it."
The cost is £15 per person on the day and it will start at 11am. Sign-in will be from 9am to 10.30am.
Teams will have to enter a team name and entry forms are available from mudsweatngears.co.uk or by calling 01305 784849.

Steelers Considering a Roethlisberger Trade
The following come from ESPN's Adam Schefter (also confirmed that Big Ben has been suspended for 6 games): "Every team that everybody debated for Donovan McNabb is now back in play on Ben Roethlisberger. Same candidates, different QB." "Pittsburgh has begun contacting teams to trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. At least one team considering it. Story far from done."

Memorial Day, 1993. When 13-year-old Kyle Vogel discovers the World War II footlocker belonging to his grandfather, Bud, everyone tells Kyle to put it back. Luckily, he ignores them. Although Bud has never talked about the war, he finds himself striking a deal with his grandson: Kyle can pick any three souvenirs, and Bud will tell him the stories behind each one. Memorial Day not only takes us on a journey into Bud's complicated wartime past, but also into Kyle's wartime future. As the two men share parallel experiences in combat, they come to realize how that magical day on the porch shaped both of their lives.

GREEM BAY (WKOW) -- A fire broke out at Lambeau field Wednesday.
The Green Bay Fire Department says it started when sparks from construction equipment hit foam insulation.
It took about an hour to put out the flames because firefighters had trouble finding a water source.

AnnArbor.com has an article up on the team's mindset heading into the opening round of the playoffs.
Of note from the article is that Bryan Hogan missed practice Monday nursing his groin injury and Red Berenson expects Shawn Hunwick to start in goal this weekend. There's a chance Hogan could practice late in the week, in which case Berenson said he would consider using him, but it's wait and see.
Also, the article states that Berenson is planning on sending in video and a still photo which shows the puck in the net from the Notre Dame game to league officials regarding the waived off goal. No, this isn't some post-game whining and looking for an apology. At issue, according to AA.com, is the lack of technical equipment which would have allowed Big Ten Network camera angles to be used during replay.
Two years ago, league officials vowed to purchase two sets of the linking equipment that would allow TV footage to be used on reviews.
Berenson said the league asked Michigan to purchase the equipment, which it did and which is used on a regular basis at Yost. But the league did not buy the equipment leaving rinks like Notre Dame's to depend on a single view.
"The system did not work," Berenson said. "Everybody on TV can see the puck go in the net, and it's an embarrassment. Here's schools like Notre Dame and Michigan and the CCHA and their reputation goes down. What the hell is that?"
'nuff said.
And finally a local newspaper posted some video on YouTube of Michigan recruit Mac Bennett fighting with Fargo's Matt Leitner. Bennett is #37 in the dark jersey. Not much of a fight, though he gets the take down.

About the Author:
Ria MacAlister has not lived a fairy-tale life. Molested as a child, raped as a teen and abused as a wife, she buried herself in books and relationships to help numb self-deprecating feelings. When her fifth marriage started heading south, she began writing as a panacea of sorts to help heal her own scars, completing her first novel, 'Heartshaped Shards' in just seven months. Never seriously intending to publish her novel, friends and family insisted she do so after reading the story. One friend encouraged, "It has to be shared! I think it could really help someone else. If just one person is helped, then it's worth it, isn't it?" So, Ria took a leap of faith and put her story into the public's hands.
Ria lives in the southwestern United States with her sixth (and she swears last!) husband, who happens to closely resemble the hero of 'Heartshaped Shards'. Ria says she met her husband after she wrote the novel, knowing right away this marriage was meant to be. "There really are happy endings out there…you just have to wait for them."

HAVERHILL — A Boston man who staked out a cemetery to rob a woman's purse from her car while she visited a grave is being eyed in similar crimes in the area, police said.
Pedro Colon, 51, of 20 Kemp St., Boston was charged this week with one count of breaking and entering a vehicle, larceny of a credit card and larceny below and above $250 for one purse he allegedly stole from a woman in Linwood Cemetery.
However, police Detective Capt. Alan Ratte said Colon is also a suspect in other crimes in the area, but he would not discuss what crimes as he said they are still under investigation. At least two similar thefts were reported at Methuen cemeteries in recent months.
"People need to lock their vehicles prior to visiting graves as when their back is turned they can very easily become a victim," Ratte said. "Even though people may not believe a crime can take place in a tranquil place such as a cemetery, it actually happens more than you would think. Be vigilant of your surroundings."
According to a police report on file in Haverhill District Court, a 60-year-old Plaistow woman had parked her car at the Linwood Cemetery in Haverhill Aug. 10 and was about 20 feet away from it when she heard a sound. The woman said she saw a man walking away from her car and noticed that he dropped a plastic jug. She said the man then ran to a waiting car, which she described as a white "boxy" vehicle, then he hopped into the passenger side while the car was in motion. She said the car drove off in the direction of John Ward Avenue.
The woman told police that before she could report her credit cards stolen, her credit card company notified her of two suspicious transactions.

Supreme Court rules on Affordable Care Act
Updated: Thursday, June 28 2012, 05:58 PM CDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld virtually all of President Barack Obama's historic health care overhaul, including the hotly debated core requirement that nearly every American have health insurance.
The 5-4 decision meant the huge overhaul, still taking effect, could proceed and pick up momentum over the next several years, affecting the way that countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medical care.
The ruling hands Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in approving the plan. However, Republicans quickly indicated they will try to use the decision to rally their supporters against what they call "Obamacare," arguing that the ruling characterized the penalty against people who refuse to get insurance as a tax.
Obama declared, "Whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over this country." GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney renewed his criticism of the overhaul, calling it "bad law" and promising to work to repeal it if elected in November.
Breaking with the court's other conservative justices, Chief Justice John Roberts announced the judgment that allows the law to go forward with its aim of covering more than 30 million uninsured Americans. Roberts explained at length the court's view of the mandate as a valid exercise of Congress' authority to "lay and collect taxes." The administration estimates that roughly 4 million people will pay the penalty rather than buy insurance.
Even though Congress called it a penalty, not a tax, Roberts said, "The payment is collected solely by the IRS through the normal means of taxation."
Roberts also made plain the court's rejection of the administration's claim that Congress had the power under the Constitution's commerce clause to put the mandate in place. The power to regulate interstate commerce power, he said, "does not authorize the mandate. "
Stocks of hospital companies rose after the decision was announced, while shares of insurers fell sharply. Shares of drugmakers and device makers fell slightly.
The justices rejected two of the administration's three arguments in support of the insurance requirement. But the court said the mandate can be construed as a tax. "Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness," Roberts said.
The court found problems with the law's expansion of Medicaid, but even there said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states' entire Medicaid allotment if they don't take part in the law's extension.
The court's four liberal justices, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined Roberts in the outcome.
Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.
Kennedy summarized the dissent in court. "In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety," he said.
The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law "exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in denying non-consenting states all Medicaid funding."
In all, the justices spelled out their views in six opinions totaling 187 pages. Roberts, Kennedy and Ginsburg spent 51 minutes summarizing their views in the packed courtroom.
After the ruling, Republican campaign strategists said Romney will use it to continue campaigning against "Obamacare" and attacking the president's signature health care program as a tax increase.
"Obama might have his law, but the GOP has a cause," said veteran campaign adviser Terry Holt. "This promises to galvanize Republican support around a repeal of what could well be called the largest tax increase in American history."
Democrats said Romney, who backed an individual health insurance mandate when he was Massachusetts governor, will have a hard time exploiting the ruling.
More than eight in 10 Americans already have health insurance. But for most of the 50 million who are uninsured, the ruling offers the promise of guaranteed coverage at affordable prices. Lower-income and many middle-class families will be eligible for subsidies to help pay premiums starting in 2014.
There's also an added safety net for all Americans, insured and uninsured. Starting in 2014, insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage for medical treatment, nor can they charge more to people with health problems. Those protections, now standard in most big employer plans, will be available to all, including people who get laid off, or leave a corporate job to launch their own small business.
Seniors also benefit from the law through better Medicare coverage for those with high prescription costs, and no copayments for preventive care. But hospitals, nursing homes, and many other service providers may struggle once the Medicare cuts used to finance the law really start to bite.
Illegal immigrants are not entitled to the new insurance coverage under the law, and will remain one of the biggest groups uninsured.
"So in the end, the Affordable Health Care Act survives largely unscathed. But the court's commerce clause and spending clause jurisprudence has been set awry. My expectation is that the setbacks will be temporary blips, not permanent obstructions," Ginsburg said in a statement she, too, read from the bench.
In the courtroom Thursday were retired Justice John Paul Stevens and the wives of Roberts, Alito, Breyer, Kennedy and Thomas.
Associated Press writers Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, Charles Babington, Jessica Gresko, Jesse J. Holland and David Espo contributed to this report.

Pioneer in
Invasive Surgery
Dr. Katkhouda, an international leader in the field of minimally invasive surgery,
pioneered the development of laparoscopic ulcer operations, called vagotomies. He
served as vice chairman, Department of Surgery, and chief of Surgical Endoscopy at the
Hospital St. Roch, University of Nice School of Medicine, Nice, France before joining USC
as associate professor of Surgery, Chief of the Division of Outpatient and Minimally
Invasive Surgery, and director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Program at USC University
Dr. Katkhouda has authored numerous peer review articles and book chapters that
document several advances in minimally invasive surgery, and in December 1994 published a
book, "Principles of Laparoscopic Surgery: Basic and Advanced Techniques" (Springer
Verlag, New York). This text covers the range of laparoscopic principles, from
the basic instrumentation to the critical review of complications to descriptions of
advanced procedures. The book also includes other areas such as urology,
obstetrics/gynecology and thoracic surgery.
New Field is Born
Dr. Katkhouda's own experience chronicles the birth and subsequent growth of this
emerging field. In France, he closely followed the initial developments, and soon
became a participant. He background sheds light on the excitement these techniques
generated less than a decade ago. "Minimally invasive surgical techniques had
their origin with two of my friends - Dr. Phillippe Mouret and Dr. Francois Dubois,"
Dr. Katkhouda recalls. "In March 1987, Dr. Mouret had done the first
laparoscopic cholecystectomy, an extraordinary procedure that was not widely publicized at
the time. A few months later, Dr. Dubois was performing an operation through mini
laparotomies and, in passing, asked his OR team, 'I wonder who can do this better?'
His new nurse who had worked with Dr. Mouret only a few months before, replied that Dr.
Mouret had operated on a man without making larger incisions. Dr. Dubois immediately
phoned Dr. Mouret to learn more about the operation."
According to Dr. Katkhouda, the two set up a private meeting and shared their
knowledge. Dr, Mouret had initially performed the procedure using traditional
surgical instruments and incision locations. Dr. Dubois believed this approach could
be improved and introduced the trocar concept for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In
addition, while Dr. Mouret did the first procedure with a one-handed techniques, holding a
camera in one hand similar to a gynecologist, Dr. Dubois was the first to describe the
reproduction of open surgery techniques in minimally invasive surgery - holding the
surgical instruments with two hands. These innovations, which standardized the
minimally invasive surgical approach, were Dr. Dubois' contributions to the field, and he
subsequently published the first scientific piece on the technique in the Annals of
Through the internal network of surgeons in France, Dr. Katkhouda learned about the
laparoscopic cholecystectomy before it became widely publicized. He traveled from
Nice, where he was practicing, to Paris to observe one of Dr. Dubois' initial cases.
"I felt fortunate to be among the first to witness what was truly an
event," he says. "No one was speaking about the operation at the time, and
we were among the few to see it. As Dr. Dubois performed the laparoscopic
cholecystectomy, I remember thinking, 'How will he extract the gall bladder from the
umbilicus?' When I saw the gall bladder being actually removed, it seemed like the
birth of a child. I was amazed.

Does your little girl dream of being a princess? This simple, elegant mask is royally cute. Add a tiara, or a magic wand, and a cute princess dress to complete the look. This mask would be a fun accessory for an afternoon of dress-up with friends, a princess birthday party or Halloween party.Download Princess Masquerade Mask Template
Wear the Princess Masquerade Mask with No-Sew Princess Costume and the Princess Hat to complete the look.
Print out the Princess Mask pattern. Trace the pattern onto your pink cardstock and cut it out. While you're tracing, mark the spot on each side of the mask; this will be where you poke a hole for the cord to be attached later.
Lay the mask flat, and add the stick on gems. You can make the same pattern shown in the photo here, or create your own.
Add swirl stickers below the eyes, or make your own swirls with a marker or glitter pen.
Flip the over mask upside down to add feathers to each end. First, place the feathers where you want them, and then, add a dot of glue to each feathe to hold it in place. Set the mask aside to let the glue dry.
Once the glue has dried use a hole punch, or have an adult use a pair of scissors to punch holes on each side of the mask (where you marked it earlier) for the cord.
Measure the cord around your child's head and cut if off. Tie the cord through the holes on the mask.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- A Carnival spokesman says the towing of a disabled cruise ship that has been stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for days is taking longer than anticipated.
Spokesman Vance Gulliksen says the Triumph is now expected to arrive alongside the cruise terminal in Mobile between 8 and 11 p.m. Thursday. Earlier, it had been expected Thursday afternoon.
Gulliken says four tugs are towing the vessel.
Passengers have described dismal, filthy conditions onboard, but the company has disputed the accounts and says employees are doing everything to ensure people are comfortable.
An engine-room fire Sunday left the ship powerless. More than 4,000 people are on board.

Update: Driver killed after truck crashes into semi west of Butte

A major wreck leaves a truck upside down and underneath a semi truck west of Butte Friday night.
Montana Highway Patrol tells us the driver of the truck, a 65-year old man from Whitehall, died at the scene.
We're told just before 8:40 pm, the Ford truck attempted to pass the semi near mile marker 215, by Rocker on I-90.
While passing the semi, the Ford drifted over the line and crashed into the semi. MHP says the truck turned sideways in front of the semi, and the semi pushed the vehicle off the right side of the road and through the guard rail.
Witnesses who drove by tell NBC Montana the truck ended up underneath the cab of the semi, upside down.
The driver of the semi was not injured. The man's name has not been released yet.

text: Since there is no post game thread I thought I would start one. Most of us would probably say that tonight's game didn't show us much, and I agree. But there is one trend taking place the last couple of games that concerns me a little. We have had a six man rotation for tonight's game and for WVU. Yes, I know that we had a couple guys log 5-7 minutes but that amount of time doesn't scream depth to me. Does anyone think that this is becoming an issue or is it just a fluky thing that that we won't see anymore. I could've felt that way after one game of it happening but two starts to make think something's up. Not going to bring up Coleman because we have thoroughly discussed him. But Barham is getting very little time as of late and I kind of expected to begin seeing a little spot time for our Frosh bigs. If we weren't going to play those two big kids at all why did we waste an eligibility year for them. Maybe Edwards still isn't healthy but Meikle could give us a few minutes here and there. Then we aren't playing KD at the 4 spot and getting worked inside. I just don't know what's going on with the rotation and we are getting close to conference play. Few can't possibly think that a six man rotation is the way to go can he? Hopefully Nunez can help this situation out but he's still an unknown quantity. Few better start getting somebody some time and solidifying a workable rotation. Maybe our three point shooting woes tonight can be attributed to Kevin's 38 minutes and Gary's 39 minutes. Does anyone else think this is an issue because I'm getting concerned about our short bench.

Atlanta pat-down policies questioned in wake of lawsuits
Officers state techniques necessary for safety; critics claim too invasive
By Rhonda Cook
ATLANTA — Atlanta taxpayers have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle lawsuits brought by men who said they were touched inappropriately by police officers searching them, and the city is on the verge of paying out more.
Late last year, the Atlanta Police Department spent almost $300,000 to settle two lawsuits with those allegations. And Monday, the Atlanta City Council agreed to pay $470,000 to settle a lawsuit by five men who said officers pulled down their pants and touched them inappropriately while looking for drugs that were not found.

It's very possible that the model will be infiltrating Tinseltown soon!
Grazia spoke to Sadie Frost about a film she has in the works called Set The Thames On Fire, and the director specifically named Cara Delevingne, saying that she's trying to get her involved with the project. Frost spilled:
"There's a part we would love Cara to be in it. She's got such an amazing look and such a great energy, she's perfect for the part so I hope she can do it. We're just in early talks together at the moment."
Interesting! Sounds like she'll be joining the ranks of model-turned-actresses Agyness Deyn and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Modelinia also says that Sara Blomqvist is currently in on a film project in her native Sweden.

Work could bring jobs boost to Hurworth hotel
3:13pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News By Andy Walker, Chief Reporter (Darlington)
A FIVE-STAR hotel in the region is to invest £200,000 in refurbishment work.
Renovation of the Old Hall at Rockliffe Hall Hotel, in Hurworth, near Darlington, will begin in January.
It will include a revamp of the hotel's main restaurant, The Orangery, with new atwork, furniture and lighting.
Bosses hope about 20 jobs could be created as a result of the work, which will see the restaurant's capacity increased.
Managing director Nick Holmes said: "This is a substantial investment, which is creating new options for our guests, new jobs for people in the region and new opportunities for us as a consistently growing business."

Bump for iOS and Android has expanded its feature set over the years since its origins as an app meant for quickly sharing contact information between phones. Users can "bump" to share photos and files from Dropbox between handsets, and the app also lets you bump photos from your phone to your computer after a quick location-based setup process. Now, an update to Bump is going to expand the latter functionality quite a bit: users can bump a wider variety of files beyond just photos from their phone straight to their computer. The update hasn't rolled out just yet, so we're not sure exactly what types of files are supported, but the app will pull up a file browser-style window to let you pick things to send — based on the screenshots, it looks like it will be similar to the interface for sharing photos and files from Dropbox between phones. There's a notable limitation — only files up to 20MB in size are supported — but its still a nice expansion of the previous photo-sharing feature
The update has also enabled two-way syncing — now, users can send files from their computer to their phone, not just from the phone to the computer. Files that get sent from a computer are stored in the Bump app itself (in iOS) or in a specific Bump folder on an Android phone's SD card (we're not sure yet how exactly it works if your phone doesn't have SD storage). Regardless, Bump's photo-sharing features work pretty well, so we're hoping that the file-sharing features do the same. The new Bump app for iOS and Android hasn't yet rolled out to Google Play or the iTunes Store, but it should be available any time now. The Bump homepage just went down with a note that says "something awesome is coming soon," so we expect everything to be ready before too long.

A red-light runner triggered a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning that sent a Bradenton motorcycle rider to the hospital with serious injuries.
Norman E. White, 54, was transported to Blake Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition. The incident occurred just after 11 a.m. at the intersection of 15th St. East and 30th Ave. East in Bradenton.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report White was stopped for a traffic light heading east on 30th Ave. East when the light turned green. A 2012 Dodge Caravan driven by Roger Darling failed to stop for the red light and struck White's 2012 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
White, who was not wearing a helmet, was ejected into the windshield of Darling's van and then onto the pavement.
Darling, 39, suffered minor injuries and was transported to Lakewood Ranch Regional Medical Center. Two children – ages 10 and 14 – also suffered minor injuries in the crash.
Darling was issued a citation for failing to stop for the traffic light.

Is This T-Shirt Praying for Obama's Assassination?
Is This T-Shirt Praying for Obama's Assassination?
MS DNC ^ | 11/19/09 | Andrew Greiner
Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 8:36:48 PM by Nachum
A new Biblical Obama slogan making the rounds on conservative T-shirts and bumper stickers is being interpreted as calling for the president's death.
The slogan "Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8" seems innocent enough, but the actual verse reads: "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."
The psalm goes on to say: "May his children be orphans, and his wife a widow." Read the entire psalm here.

Glenn Beck Show | 11/19/09
Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 5:33:40 PM by pabianice
Very grim show tonight. Beck expects Senate to pass Obamacare by Christmas; bill to be "reconciled" and signed by Obama at beginning of 2010 (abortion back in, single-payer system in, Medicare rape back in). Beck's office called all 58 Dem senators for comment. Not one called back. They are in lock-down by Reid, Obama. Beck expects "immigration reform" to pass next. 20 million new Democrat voters. Unions being taken care of by Obama — they get everything they want. Very alarming and depressing.

When we were young, we learned about the best and brightest minds in the nation coming together to create the foundation of a new country and fundamentally change the role of government in the lives of the people. Now there is a proposal to have a similar Constitutional Convention in California, but without those great minds, how are we to be sure that we get a document that rewrites the Constitution for the better and not make our state's problems even worse?
It is important to note that according to recent article in the Ventura County Star by Timm Herdt, all of the candidates running for governor either support or are open to supporting the proposal, except for Steve Poizner. This could be a strategic move or he could really be worried about it resulting in higher taxes, but it gives Poizner the unique opportunity to distinguish himself from every candidate in the field. According to a press release from Repair California, the group organizing the proposal, 70 percent of registered Republicans, 71 percent of Democrats and 74 percent of decline to state voters support the proposal. If those numbers continue to stay that high, Poizner could end up on the wrong side of this issue.

GLENN BECK, HOST: Tonight, I want to talk you to a little bit about un-sustainability. It can't go on this way. It's our debt, the dollar, your money, your children's future, the deficit.
I want to show you this here so you have some framework of what we're going to talk about this hour. We are now at $12 trillion — $12 trillion. But just so you know — that's our national debt. It's like a credit card. It's the accumulation of the deficits. It is at $11.99 trillion, we rounded it to $12 trillion.

"So at 6:30 p.m., they don't want to sit in front of television for a half hour and have someone tell them what they already know."

The ADL has launched a new purge against its political enemies in the form of a major report that equates skepticism and distrust of government with "a toxic atmosphere of rage," which is threatening to boil over in the form of violence, specifically targeting Alex Jones as "The Conspiracy King" and inferring that people upset with Barack Obama's policies are potential mass murderers.

CNN Propaganda Segment on Oath Keepers Demonizes Fall of the Republic

In a CNN segment airing today, Jim Acosta assures us there are no FEMA detention camps and Obama will not take away the guns of law-abiding Americans.
CNN continues its well-oiled propaganda campaign against the patriot movement with a segment on the Oath Keepers. CNN's Jim Acosta profiles the organization's founder, Stewart Rhodes, nearly a month after MSNBC attack dog Chris Matthews [1] had him on his show and attempted to portray the Oath Keepers as a radical organization of crazed radicals that poses a threat to the nation.
Acosta is somewhat more gentle in his presentation, but the message is analogous to the one presented by Matthews — Rhodes and the Oath Keepers are dangerous, particularly in regard to U.S. military personnel. The CNN segment cites the Department of Homeland Security's report on supposed "rightwing extremism" warning that veterans and active duty soldiers may fall under the sway of white supremacists — who we are told hate Obama because of his skin color — and dangerous anti-government militants.
Going Muslim
Forbes ^ | November 9, 2009 | Tunku Varadarajan
Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 6:15:08 AM by reaganaut1
As the enormity of the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sinks in, we must ask whether we are confronting a new phenomenon of violent rage, one we might dub–disconcertingly–"Going Muslim." This phrase would describe the turn of events where a seemingly integrated Muslim-American [...] discards his apparent integration into American society and elects to vindicate his religion in an act of messianic violence against his fellow Americans.
The difference between "going postal," in the conventional sense, and "going Muslim," in the sense that I suggest, is that there would not necessarily be a psychological "snapping" point in the case of the imminently violent Muslim; instead, there could be a calculated discarding of camouflage–the camouflage of integration–in an act of revelatory catharsis.

As our powerless secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, dutifully covers her head to attend the inauguration of an Afghan president so unpopular his ceremony has to be held behind closed doors, our AfPak (Afghanistan/Pakistan) policy isn't merely adrift. It's sinking.
President Obama inherited a mess, and promptly made it worse. But let's be fair: There's plenty of blame to go around in the ongoing Afghan nondecision debacle, as well as regarding our follies in Pakistan.

It's Mid-July, Time to Start Some Rumours! How 'bout Streit, Wideman or Morrow to the Canucks?
Hello everybody. I'm back. It's been a while since my last blog, and I'm sure you can understand why. The Canucks exciting and exhausting Stanley Cup run ended one month ago today. That was followed up quickly with the NHL draft, the NHL awards and the start of free agency. I was exhausted. I needed to re-charge. And no, the signing of Marco Sturm didn't exactly give me the kick start I needed. But I've recovered and I'm back for some fun summertime blogging. You know what's great about summertime blogging? RUMOURS. Mike Gillis and the brass are pretty tight lipped, so there aren't many juicy ones out there.

Almost submitting UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has apparently raised the stock of a certain Phenom. Vitor Belfort has opened as a favorite over Michael Bisping for their UFC on FX 7 main event bout on January 19th. Here's a look at the best price you can get on both fighters at the moment (via BestFightOdds):
Only two sites (5Dimes and SportBet) are offering lines so far, but i don't think any new line is going to be very far off of these two. The line is pretty well set in my opinion, since it's a pretty tough fight to call. Bisping is very good at playing the outside game, but Belfort's handspeed has to be a serious concern for him. To the point that he might try to wrestle his way to a decision. Belfort hasn't been out of the first round at 185 in a long time though, and might have some cardio issues later on in the fight. There are lots of variables on both sides.
Right now I'd actually lean towards a bet on Bisping, but waiting is probably a wiser course of action if you're going to wager on the Brit. I expect that the early betting would be on Belfort, which will make the odds on Bisping more attractive closer to the fight. And if you're going to bet on Belfort, I'd suggest doing it now.

He Stole My Heart Save the Date Magnets We ordered these Save the Dates in Black/White/Red, and at first I was a little hesitant because I couldn't see them in person- so we ordered the proof! For $7 it was a great idea, the proof looked adorable and we really were impressed. We ordered 175 with the card holders and envelopes as well. The card holders I am not thrilled with- I think we should have ordered plain ones, the hearts are a bit much. The magnet is adorable, and we have recieved so many compliments about it! Definitely order them!

Get ready to open your wallets, the price of milk could be doubling in 2013.
Part of the reason is the federal Farm Bill is stuck in Congress. Normally it offers dairy farmers a safety net of sorts if the price of milk falls. Without the Farm Bill, there's no net.
Mike Yoder has hundreds of cows at his Middlebury farm. He paying close attention to the Farm Bill. "The old Farm Bill provided some support so when prices feel really low, below our cost production, it would help narrow that profit that margin, that loss," said Yoder. That old Farm Bill expired September 30th. And a new farm bill has not been passed by congress yet.
"I think what most of agriculture would like to see is another Farm Bill passed," said Yoder. But he admits that's not the big issue for him right now. "The primary problem for dairy operations right now is the high cost of corn and soybean." Because that's what he feeds his cows. Costs are up due to this year's drought. "The cost of feeding a dairy cow this year has been twice what it was last year," said Yoder.
A lot of people are worried if a new Farm Bill isn't passed the price of milk will double. But Yoder said because of the drought and the problems it's caused for dairy farmers, an increase in milk is inevitable. "Consumers have to pay more for milk or we go out of business, it's pretty simple," said Yoder.
Mary Ann Lienhart Cross with the Elkhart County Purdue Extension office agrees that mother nature is wreaking havoc inside grocery stores. "The drought is going to affect more than dairy products... all food prices will go up." She said it means families are going to have to make some harder choices when it comes to spending. "Maybe they'll look at entertainment and say ok we're not gonna be able to keep all the luxuries that we have because it's harder or tougher to put more food on the table," said Leinhart Cross.
A choice she hopes you don't make is cutting out milk. She says it is the best source of calcium, especially for kids.

What is the role of the UIS?
Based on its annual data collection, the UIS produces a range of indicators to track trends in tertiary education at the global, regional and national levels. These data include: enrolment and graduation ratios disaggregated by sex and type of programme; enrolment rates in private and public institutions; and graduates by field of study.
In addition, the UIS has developed a series of unique indicators to track the flows of foreign or mobile students. Mobile students are defined as those who study in foreign countries where they are not permanent residents.
It is important to note that many countries are unable to provide precise data on their tertiary education systems. In response, the UIS works closely with national statisticians – through training workshops and diagnostic studies – to improve the collection and quality of these data.
The veritable boom in tertiary education is reflected by the gross enrolment ratio (GER). However, a closer look at the data (through the gender parity index) shows that nearly every country in the world is facing gender disparities. Women have the advantage globally but remain effectively excluded from this level of education in many countries with very low rates of tertiary participation. Another key factor shaping enrolment patterns is the rise in the private tertiary sector, which is also captured by UIS data.
Tertiary graduates by field of study
How many tertiary students actually complete a first degree? What fields of study do they pursue? Are women moving into fields traditionally dominated by men, such as science and computing? The following indicators provide detailed information on graduation patterns.
Tracking the flows of mobile students
UIS indicators in this area are uniquely designed to examine mobility trends from the perspective of countries sending and receiving students. They also help indicate which host countries are the most popular among mobile students.
The outbound mobility ratio reflects how likely students are to pursue their education abroad (i.e. mobile students coming from a country as a percentage of all tertiary students in that "sending" country). The inbound mobility rate reflects the perspective of the host countries by shedding light on where mobile students come from. It expresses the mobile students studying in the country as a percentage of total tertiary enrolment in the host country.
The UIS has also developed the mobility dispersion index, which reflects the extent to which mobile students from a given country are either concentrated in a few host countries or scattered among a larger group.

Wuthering HeightsPosted by msbarnsley in Uncategorized
Chaps 1-3Characters: Lockwood and Heathcliff
1. The novel has a first-person narrator named Lockwood. Describe what you know about the narrator from the first chapters. What is he like? What mistakes in judgment does he make–in terms of the place, his visit to the place, Heathcliff and the others' identities?
2. Why is Lockwood so interested in Heathcliff? Why does he pay the second visit if he is not welcome in the first (thinking that he himself is "sociable" p. 7)? He said that Heathcliff "love and hate, equally under cover. . . " and then acknowledge them as his own attributes. Do you find it true, considering, for instance, how he deals with the ghost of Catherine? (We will compare and contrast Lockwood and Heathcliff more when we talk about the novel as a whole.)
3. Emily Bronte liked dogs. How are the dogs presented here and how does Lockwood deal with them?
4. We get to see Heathcliff first from Lockwood's perspective and then in Catherine's diary (chap 3). How would you characterize the Heathcliff old and young? What more do we know about bout the Earnshaw family from Catherine's diary.
5. The third aspect of Heathcliff: Heathcliff's call to Catherine gets Lockwood, and us, more curious about their past. How else does Lockwood respond to Heathcliff's emotional outburst? And you?
6. The other characters: The second generation Hareton and Catherine will play a more important role later on.
Chaps 1-3 Settings & the Gothic
1. The appearance of the ghost is part of what makes Wuthering Heights a gothic novel. Look up the terms "gothic" and "gothic novel." What are the characteristics of gothic literature? Which of those characteristics do you see in the first chapters of the novel? How does the setting of the novel relate to its gothic quality? Is the place Wuthering Heights one?

2015 Acura NSX Release Date. Considering that NSX generation led to 2005, the whole world has eagerly awaited its alternative. A front-engine V-10 format was proposed and designed by Acura Design and style because the Sophisticated Sports Car or truck Thought. Everyone associated agreed that it had been cool, but it really was not an NSX.
2015 Acura NSX Rear Three Quarter Envisioned by 2015, the brand new NSX will utilize a mid-mounted V-6, entire with titanium connecting rods coupled to a damp twin-clutch seven-speed transmission and hybridized by having an electrical motor driving the rear wheels. Two far more electric powered motors will spin the entrance wheels, offering torque-vectoring below acceleration and braking to aid the NSX change into corners greater underneath all disorders. This Sports Hybrid AWD program is presupposed to deliver big-V-8 efficiency with "better-than-four-cylinder" fuel overall economy.
We questioned Honda's global CEO Takanabu Ito (who started out his vocation as an engineer engaged on the NSX's aluminum monocoque construction) irrespective of whether he felt it had been important the subsequent NSX however be manufactured of aluminum. He replied what was additional significant was the engineering group facial area as terrific a problem as his did since they function to offset the brand new car's hybrid drivetrain mass. When requested whether he'd established a weight-to-power focus on for the crew, his coy respond to was, "I hope it is better than the first car's." But if we suppose that here yet again he expects to problem his engineers to an equal extent, and we know the initially NSX matched Ferrari's 348 with 11 lb/horsepower, we can anticipate the 2015 car to at the very least match the current 458 Italia (and Lamborghini Gallardo) with all over six lb/hp.
Acura promises the subsequent NSX will signify the "ultimate expression of man-machine synergy," with driver and vehicle operating in unison, rather then the motive force currently being taken for a journey by a really robotized car or truck.
The NSX will not be first having a hybridized twin-clutch tranny, but, unlike the Jetta Hybrid's, its electrical motor connects to (we're guessing the odd) gear shaft as an alternative to the enter shaft. By releasing both of those clutches, additional strength can be regenerated with no motor braking result, and by connecting the motor to the (odd or even) equipment using the most beneficial ratio. Underneath acceleration, energy is transmitted by way of a preselected odd equipment regardless if a fair equipment is in use.
2015 Acua NSX Price
The Acura NSX will go on sale in US by 2015 with base price start at $130,000. We know it such an expensive car, but you know that the car is called supercar which means an expensive and luxury car.

A Message from the Vice President for Development
Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends:
These are exciting times at UMaine, with the Blue Sky strategic planning process entering its third and final year. Much has been accomplished towards redefining our university's role as Maine's 21st Century Land Grant university and creating a blueprint to become one of the most distinctive universities in the country for student achievement and community engagement.
As President Paul Ferguson puts it: "This plan isn't just about making the University of Maine a bigger, better and more financially sustainable institution. It also is about reconnecting the university to the people of Maine so that we can have a major impact on the future growth and prosperity of our state in the 21st century."
Blue Sky initiatives include:
- Restructuring and reorganizing to ensure that UMaine teaching, research, outreach, and economic development programs are in close alignment with Maine's priority needs;
- Optimizing operating efficiencies while growing enrollment and increasing philanthropy to achieve financial sustainability;
- Investing in faculty and staff professional development and improving communication among all constituencies;
- Promoting undergraduate and graduate opportunities for student success-both in and out of the classroom; and
- Restoring UMaine's physical plant and technology infrastructure to ensure a vibrant place of learning and discovery.
The next steps will include prioritizing the goals that have emerged from the plan and quantifying them in terms of the people, programs and facilities (whether new or renovated) that will be required to bring the vision to fruition.
We hope you will continue to partner with us as we enter the implementation phase of the plan. We need your ideas, advocacy and investment in the areas most meaningful to you. The focus for UMaine's Advancement Partners (Office of University Development; University of Maine Foundation; University of Maine Alumni Association; Pulp & Paper Foundation and 4-H Foundation) is to encourage as many alumni, parents and friends as possible to consider the Triple Crown of Giving:
- Joining the President's Club ($1,000 annual donation to an area of your choice);
- Becoming a Stillwater Society Member or advancing within the Society (Membership begins with cumulative lifetime giving of $25,000); and
- Joining the Charles F. Allen Legacy Society (by including the university in your will or estate plans).
Thanks to generous donors, the university is on track to attain the Blue Sky goals. Your gifts have increased scholarship aid for students, enhanced support for faculty, established endowed excellence funds, and restored legacy buildings and learning environments — all of which help UMaine deliver an educational mission critical to quality of life and economic development in Maine and beyond.
With your continued help, we will provide Blue Skies and a brighter future for our students and and our world by making the College of our Hearts Always the "most student-centered and community-engaged of the American Research Universities."
On behalf of a grateful university, thank you!
Eric Rolfson
Vice President for Development & Alumni Relations
