|Douglas Zochodne
Douglas Zochodne was born in Oshawa, Ontario Canada, attended the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in London Ontario and majored in undergraduate Chemistry. He graduated from medical school in 1980 at UWO where he also completed a rotating internship, a year of internal medicine and an FRCPC in Neurology in 1985. He completed a Neuromuscular Fellowship at UWO supported by the McLaughlin Foundation under the supervision of Dr. Charles Bolton and from 1986-1988, he trained in the Peripheral Nerve Research laboratory with Drs. Phillip Low and Peter Dyck, at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota as an MRC fellow. In 1988, he established a Peripheral Nerve research laboratory and Neuromuscular Clinic at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario where he served as Associate Professor. He was invited to continue his work at the University of Calgary in 1992. The Zochodne lab has had continuous external funding since its inception at Queen's through to its move to the University of Calgary. His research has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR, the current lab is supported by three ongoing CIHR awards), the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA), the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada (MDAC), National Institutes of Health (NIH USA, in collaboration with Dr. Chris Power), the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC, in collaboration with Dr. David Cramb), and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRFI, in conjunction with Drs. Danielle Pacaud, Jean Mah, Rayaz Malik, William Astle and Ken Romanchuk). Dr. Zochodne is recognized as a Scientist of the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR). He is a consultant Neurologist of the Calgary Health Region and serves as the Director of the Neuromuscular Clinic (Adult), University of Calgary and as Director of Clinical Neurophysiology (Adult EMG), Calgary Health Region. Dr. Zochodne served as Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences from 1999-2007. He has served as a member of the Institute Advisory Board of the Institute of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction of CIHR. He is President-elect of the Peripheral Nerve Society.
Dr. Zochodne has worked and published in several areas of basic and Clinical Neurosciences. One of his first major papers coauthored with Charles Bolton, "Critical Illness Polyneuropathy, A Complication of Sepsis and Multiple Organ Failure", has become the definitive description of this common and debilitating complication of patients admitted to intensive care units. Dr. Zochodne has participated in major clinical trials involving Guillain-Barre syndrome, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, ALS and Diabetic Polyneuropathy.
The Zochodne lab has published over 200 original articles and book chapters (excluding abstracts). A new book entitled, "The Neurobiology of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration", Cambridge Press, was published in the fall of 2008. The laboratory has made contributions to the field of experimental diabetic neuropathy and peripheral nerve regeneration. In particular, its findings have emphasized the role of neurodegeneration in diabetic peripheral nerves, its features and signals including the role of insulin as a neurotrophic, or neuronal growth factor. The Zochodne lab has published a series of innovative articles on cellular partnerships and molecules involved in nerve regeneration. Dr. Zochodne is the team leader of a major ($2.25M) CIHR Regenerative Medicine and Nanotechnology team grant with collaborators at the University of Calgary in Neurosciences and Engineering (Rajiv Midha, Naweed Syed, Graham Jullien), the University of Alberta (Tessa Gordon, Ming Chan) and the University of Saskatchewan (Valerie Verge), entitled "An Electronic Axon Interface", a novel approach toward the problem of nerve regeneration using electronic chips.

Having paddled many a route through the Boundary Waters and the Quetico, I was searching for new country to explore. Plus, since the large fire was currently burning the BWCA up, we needed a new route! Some of the local rivers came to mind, they are a fun way to see local country and get your paddle wet. The Big Fork River became a first class option. It fit the needed requirements; close in distance, navigable by boat, camping sites and low fees!
Here are the brief details on the Big Fork River:
1.) The DNR has a great map outlining the whole river, portages and camping sites. You can find more information at the Minnesota Department of Resources Big Fork River page.
2.) The river is over 165 miles long and starts west of Big Fork (the town); it empties into the Rainy River, Ontario Canada.
3.) There is no charge to camp or paddle the river.
4.) Thankfully there are many landings and roads that intersect the river, allowing multiple entrance/exit points.
5.) Bring drinking and cooking water along. There are few options for water, and the river water is questionable in certain places.
The first stage:
We covered the first 13 miles of the river in one day. It was very windy, and there were whitecaps on the river! I haven't ever seen whitecaps on a river before, and it made paddling quite the workout. Dora Lake is the official start, and has a very nice picnic area with a boat landing. The lake leads to the river and the first 6 miles is marsh and wild rice beds. The scenery is not spectacular, but the birds, ducks and other water creatures make up for the monotony.
Our lunch spot was the landing in the small town of Wirt. You need to watch closely for the spot, as the landing is a hollowed out entry after a bridge on the left. If needed a vehicle could be left here as an exit location, or use this as your starting point. The scenery improves and the hardwood trees start stretching over the shoreline. You will also notice several historic homesteads located on the river banks. Many looked to be 100 plus years old, with square hand hewn logs and mud/stucco covering.
Harrison Landing has very nice camping sites, and usable outhouses (they were tilting and a bit unstable!) We had left a vehicle at this location with our camping gear. The weather forecast looked threatening for the following day and we wanted an exit option. Up went the tents, and into our bellies went chicken/bean enchiladas! We drove back to get the truck at Dora Lake and settled in for the night.
The next day dawned with a steady, cold driving rain. We were able to quickly pack our gear and decided hypothermia wasn't on our list! The Effie Café was though, and we enjoyed a great breakfast before heading home.
Experiencing the whole river is a group goal, and we plan on paddling it in stages. Next year we are hoping to kayak another section in the spring with high water and do some whitewater adventure! We will document the experience for others to enjoy and learn.

Electronic Protector Tournament Kicks Off
By WTF
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
The WTF Electronic Protector International Taekwondo Championships kicked off for a two-day run in Chuncheon, Korea, on March 4, 2007.
The event, which took place at the Hoban Gymnasium in downtown Chuncheon, drew about 160 athletes and officials from 19 countries.
This championship will determine whether the electronic protector system will be adopted at the upcoming 2007 World Taekwondo Championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
The opening ceremony was followed by a demonstration of taekwondo practitioners with a disability, and a demonstration of competition uniforms for taekwondo poomsae.
The opening day of the championships using electronic protectors featured two male and two female Olympic categories. In the male -58kg category, Japan's Kango Uchimura won the gold medal by brushing aside a stiff challenge from Spain's Jose Lois Mendez. The bronze was shared by Egypt's Tamer Salah Ali Baumi and France's Seninor Thomas.
In the female -49kg class, Mexico's Alejandra Gaal clinched the gold in the sudden-death round by beating Korea's Jo Eun-bi. The bronze went to the Philippines' Alora Kathleen Eunice and Greece's Fotini Birba.
In the male -80kg final match, France's Lopes Jonathan needed the fourth sudden-death round to earn his country the gold medal as he outperformed Italy's Sarmiento Mauro. The bronze went to Turkey's Serdar Akin and Egypt's Adb Al-Rahman Osama Tawfik.
Turkey's Sibel Guler won the gold medal in the female -67kg final as she outpointed Korea's Kim Ji-hye 4-2. The bronze was shared by Egypt's Seham Mohamed El Sawalhy and the Philippines' Alora Kirstie Elaine.
The existing kyorugi competition rules of the WTF were applied to the electronic protector event, except some changed rules. According to the newly applied rules, no time limit was given to the sudden-death round until any contestant scores a point. In the decision of the sudden-death round, only positive points count. The win by a 12-point ceiling was not applied this time, but the 7-point gap was applied. In case of attacks on the front face where there are no sensors, points will be valid if two out of three referees (center referee and corner judges) give points when one of the center referee or corner judges raise an objection.
Several countries sent their national players to Chuncheon just for monitoring the electronic protector championships. We are awaiting now the decision of WTF if the electronic protector will be used at the upcoming World Championships 2007 in Beijing.

(BEIJING, June 19) -- As the coach of Olympic champions Li Zhongyun, Zhuang Xiaoyan and Yuan Hua, Liu Yongfu is considered by many to be the father of Judo in China. This summer in Beijing, yet another of his disciples will be aiming for Olympic gold.
Liu is hoping that Yang Xiuli, who is competing in the 78kg weight class, will add to a string of success for the coach that includes four consecutive gold medals in the Olympics from 1988 to 2000.
As coach and athlete prepare for the Summer Games, Liu is emphasizing the importance of confidence and determination.
"Our players are in good condition physically now," the experienced coach explains, "We must pay more attention to the psychological side."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Beyoncé said she did lip sync when she performed the national anthem on Inauguration Day.
The singer held a press conference Thursday in New Orleans days ahead of her half-time performance at the Super Bowl.
She said she is a "perfectionist" and wanted her performance for President Barack Obama to be a memorable one. She called the day "emotional."
Beyoncé opened the press conference with live rendition of the national anthem.

Ex-Blue Peter presenter victim of online 'troll' abuse
Former Blue Peter presenter Richard Bacon has revealed he has be the victim of a campaign of harassment from a number of anonymous internet trolls for the past two years.
He has spoken out about his experience in order to highlight the growing problem of cyber-bullying.
When the abuse began to target his family members; including his mother, his wife and his baby son Arthur, he took the matter to the police.
Bacon wanted to track down and meet his troll, but was advised not to by police. He said:
– Richard Bacon, BBC Radio Five Live presenter
I wanted to know how a dislike of a radio station could go to contacting my family and tweeting about my baby. But the advice I got from a psychologist and a police officer was to make an official complaint, so I'm in the process right now of making a complaint to the police.
Bacon made a documentary, The Anti-Social Network, about trying to track down his troll.
He spoke to families who had been targeted by trolls and cyber-bulling, in cases he said he found more distressing than what he had been through.
He met the parents of Tom Mullaney, 15, from Bournville, Birmingham who apparently killed himself after being bullied online.
A tribute site was hit by trolls who left vulgar, explicit messages that were seen by his grieving family and friends.
– Richard Bacon, BBC Radio Five Live presenter
What's really heartbreaking is the parents and families of people who have killed themselves. They see these nice tributes then they also see these weird sexual, violent comment and imagery. For people who don't even understand Facebook in the first place, as well as being upsetting and prolonging their grief, it's confusing.
Bacon said he hoped to alert people to the growing problem of trolling in order to stop it.
– Richard Bacon, BBC Radio Five Live presenter
Some of these trolls will themselves be deserving of sympathy but that doesn't mean we shouldn't tackle them. It's time to stand up to them, it's time to either expose them or if you're a victim go to the police."

After reading the article by Peter Maradudin ["No Place for an Artist," May 2004], I was moved to write a response to him personally. Here is my letter and his response.
Dear Peter,
I just wanted to let you know that after reading your articles in Entertainment Design, you are my f — -ing hero.
I wanted to let you know that you had the cajones to say in print what everyone says on dinner breaks in quiet corners of restaurants. As a new member of the theatre community, I have felt the exact sentiment that you have expressed so succinctly, and I believe, truly, that all the regional theatres in this country should be destroyed in hopes of discovering a new form of theatre that is resonant to the community. Having come into the industry at the end of the regional movement (late 80s) and slowly watching it decline, I feel a deep sense of disappointment in its demise but know in my heart that the soul of theatre is as large and powerful as its history. It is a vibrant entity which will not be extinguished from our culture as long as our culture survives, but it is in sad shape at the moment and severely needs a rejuvenation.
Now that the glove has been thrown on the ground and your article written, there will be (hopefully) responses to it: critics will write and take opposite opinion; counter editorials will fly; discussions will emerge; tempers will flair; feelings will be hurt; egos will be bashed; difficulties will be faced; artists young and old will be forced to have thoughtful and meaningful discussions regarding this issue: and, God willing, the theatre community will shake itself out of its safe, easy, stale, business oriented mindset and challenge itself to not only make itself something we as artists can be proud of, but something that our communities can look at and say, "we are proud of you." This is not an easy task, but, as artists, we must understand that theatre is not easy; it is not clean; it is not safe. It is dangerous, it is dirty, and it is difficult, and isn't it true that the most personally rewarding pieces of work are the ones that we work the hardest at and are the most difficult? Whatever the outcome, you have my support.
Aaron Black, Aaron Black Design Studio
New York, NY
I am delighted that your response to the article is exactly what I hoped for: rather than hang one's head in despair, recognize that the article is a challenge — "the glove thrown to the ground."
I have gotten a ton of responses to the article but few as cogent as yours. Just so you know, out of all the emails I have received, only two have been challenges — both from managing directors who felt that I had painted them as "bad guys." Otherwise, the response has been overwhelmingly in favor of what I had to say.
So, don't let it get you down. Instead, work with those of us who give a damn, and get American theatre back on track.
Peter Maradudin, Principal, Visual Terrain, Inc.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The start of construction on the Broad Avenue Bridge is more than a year away and the structure will be repaired rather than a new bridge being built.
After another meeting Tuesday, Department of Transportation officials said the footings on the bridge that were weakened by scrubbing will be stabilized so the bridge can be reopened. There is a ten-month waiting period before construction can begin.
By then, crews won't be able to get into the water because of the Purple Bank Climbing Mussels less than 20 feet from the bridges footers.
"There's possibly a spawning period during that April to July for these mussels and we would not be allowed to even get in the water during that time," said Craig Solomon, DOT District Spokesman.
It will be August before construction can potentially begin and the Department of Transportation doesn't want to estimate how long the work could take. Cost estimates for the project must still be finalized.

Undated (WXOW) - Fewer young adults in the U.S. are abusing prescription drugs. A new government report shows a 14-percent drop last year in prescription drug abuse between the ages of 18 and 25.
The study was done by a public health agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.
The head of the agency said the drop is good news for the nation, because that demographic is a group of people entering the workforce, beginning college and starting families.
He said public education initiatives and an increase in prescription drug monitoring programs may have contributed to the drop.
Still more than two-million people in the U.S. abused prescription drugs for the first time in 2011, that's about 6,400 new abusers a day.

What is this fascination with belly-buttons? It seems to start when we are babies - who can honestly resist poking at the chubby navel of an infant? And what infant doesn't giggle and gurgle in response to having their belly tickled? Our obsession with belly-buttons seems to only increase as we get older, when the cute and cuddly suddenly become sexy and erotic.
Navels have even reached the level of fetish for some. Websites have been created in honor of the belly-button, displaying hundreds of photos of celebrity and civilian innies and outies. Although not pornographic in any way, the navel has become a symbol of sexual appeal for men and women alike.
That said, there is now an increasing demand for products that embellish the navel, either permanently or temporarily. Belly tattoos are on the increase, with circular patterns specifically chosen to enhance the natural contour of the navel. Belly-button piercings are not such a new thing, but body jewelry companies are now striving for bigger, better and more beautiful navel adornments. Navel shields (like in the above picture) are especially popular.
That brings to mind a question I get asked once in a while - can an "outie" be pierced? It can, but the associated risks and possible problems are greater. Really, almost any skin can be pierced - an "outie" just has more surface scar tissue that has to be worked around. With the skill of an experienced piercer, an outie can be successfully pierced. As with any piercing, going to a professional and following your aftercare instructions is extremely important.
If you're not looking for anything permanent, there are temporary tattoos designed to go around the navel. There are also belly clips designed to give the look and feel of a real piercing, but are easily applied and removed. The latest fashion trend is the blinking, color-changing flashers that are inserted into the belly hole.
Whatever your personal choice of decoration may be, your exposed navel will not be alone as scores of belly-buttons around the world are enjoying their new-found freedom.

text: Agencies Delay Deadline for Health Benefit Summaries By Stephen Miller, CEBS 11/23/2011 Update: Final Rule Issued on Benefit SummariesOn Feb. 9, 2012, the Obama administration issued a final rule requiring U.S. health insurers and group health plans to provide a concise and comprehensible Summary of Benefits and Coverage document to current and potential health plan participants, for plan years beginning after the fall 2012 open enrollment season. See the SHRM Online article Administration Issues Final Rule on Summary of Benefits and Coverage. Three federal agencies announced in November 2011 via an online frequently asked question (FAQ) response that they will not require sponsors of group health plans to comply with the requirement to create and distribute to employees a uniform Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and Uniform Glossary beginning March 23, 2012, as they had originally proposed. The U.S. departments of Labor, Treasury, and Health aned Human Services, the agencies responsible for implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), said that compliance with the SBC requirement will not be required until the agencies publish a final rule with a new applicability date providing sufficient time for group health plans to comply. Background The PPACA amended the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), adding section 2715 to require health insurers and group health plans to provide consumers with "clear, consistent and comparable information" about their health plan benefits and coverage. On Aug. 22, 2011, the departments issued a proposed rule and template in connection with implementation of the SBC and uniform glossary requirements (see the SHRM Online article "Proposed Rule Issued on Comparable Health Plan Summaries"). An applicability date "beginning March 23, 2012" was proposed. At the same time, the departments invited comments on a range of issues, including the timing of the application of the SBC requirement. The departments received many critical comments on the proposed regulations and template (see the SHRM Online article "Proposed Health Benefit Summaries Called Onerous"). The departments said they intend to issue, "as soon as possible, a final rule that takes into account these comments and other stakeholder feedback." "Many plan sponsors expressed concern that the SBC was not appropriate for self-insured group health plans," according to a Sibson Consulting alert on the department's announcement. "Plan sponsors requested revisions to the form or a customized version for self-insured plans. Sponsors also commented that the SBC effective date should be delayed until some period of time after the final rules are published," the alert stated. According to the departments' announcement, "until final regulations are issued and applicable, plans and issuers are not required to comply with PHS Act section 2715." The announcement added, "It is anticipated that the departments' final regulations, once issued, will include an applicability date that gives group health plans and health insurance issuers sufficient time to comply." A Reprieve Gives More Time to Prepare According to an alert from Sibson Consulting, although the SBC compliance deadline is no longer March 23, 2012, plan sponsors who want to get ready to prepare the SBC should: • Identify which plans must provide an SBC and for which benefit packages. Sponsors of fully insured plans should discuss with their insurer who will provide the SBC to plan participants and beneficiaries and when. • Review existing plan documents, summary plan descriptions and other documents (such as Summaries of Material Modifications) to determine whether plan benefits are properly documented in those materials so that they can be easily transferred into a new SBC format. • Update plan documents and summary plan descriptions to reflect plan changes required by the health care reform law. Stephen Miller, CEBS, is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

DENVER (AP) - Your weekly look at what's coming up at the Colorado Legislature:
Democrats so far this session have methodically rejected every Republican attempt to expand gun rights or chip away at the gun-control measures passed last year. Republicans get another attempt Monday, when a House committee reviews a bill to repeal the 15-round ammunition magazine limit. A similar GOP magazine bill is heard in the Senate. There's little reason to think the measures stand a chance in Democrat-controlled committees.
Colorado's new law requiring background checks on private gun transfers exempts immediate relatives - but not step-relations. A Republican attempt to give step-relations the same exemption is up for its first review Friday. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who insists the new gun laws won't be repealed, said last week that he had no problem with changing the transfer statute to exempt step-relations.
Republicans aren't just trying to attack the new gun laws. They're also taking aim at the new federal health care law. A bill facing its first hearing Monday would direct the state to reimburse people fined for failing to get health insurance, a certain non-starter in the Democratic Legislature. Another GOP bill getting a hearing Thursday in the House Health, Insurance & Environment Committee would order a performance audit of Colorado's state-run insurance exchange.
The Senate is scheduled to vote Monday on an elections bill to make eligibility requirements uniform across the state. The bill has sharp opposition from Republicans, who don't like same-day registration and the requirement that all voters get mailed ballots. But the measure has already cleared the House and is on track to be one of the first bills to the governor's desk this year.
The use of solitary confinement in Colorado prisons has been under the microscope in recent years, and the practice came under even more scrutiny last year when a man who'd been in solitary confinement became the lone suspect in the assassination of the head of the Department of Corrections. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to start work Thursday on a Democratic bill to require prisons to review the mental health of offenders in long-term isolated confinement every 90 days.

Eight US Marines are facing charges for the deaths of two dozen Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha last year. Since that case, investigations of marines for two other incidents involving Iraqi civilian deaths have followed.
Local veterans who have served in the front lines of war feel angry about the all the allegations against our troops.
Our fighting men and women are taught when to shoot.
And when not to.
Albany's Marvin Mixon was a soldier in Vietnam. He says when it comes to the highly emotional and serious times of combat, our troops will usually go with gut instincts.
"Your nerves are on edge, and then when somebody starts throwing rocks at you or something like that after one of your buddies has already been killed then it's just an automatic response to defend yourself and defend your buddies," said Vietnam Veteran Marvin Mixon.
Some Iraqis say it's not defense, but revenge. With one investigation closed, the US military continues to investigate at least two other cases of American troops killing Iraqi civilians, including women and children.
"A certain number of those children who are actually helping the insurgents, whether voluntarily or being forced to and then when the Americans defend themselves or things get out of hand and so called innocent civilians get hurt, then Americans are blamed for it," said Mixon.
The civilian deaths are fueling fury for Iraqis, but some Americans believe our soldiers are just being extra cautious and alert.
"There's only three or four instances over months at a time, I think its going very very well," said Mixon.
Some say our troops are just doing their jobs, while others believe that in wartime, our men are letting grief give in to rage.
The Haditha killings occured in November 2005. An investigation didn't start until months later. Initially the military said the 24 civilians were killed by a roadside bomb, but the investigation showed that Marines shot the victims.

Singled Out: "Some People Had Negative Things To Say, [Comparing] Me To J. Cole..."
Tuesday, Dec 6, 2011 5:05PM
[SOHH highlights a hot single each week and offers a unique look at the record. After Bad Boy spitter Red Cafe explains why he chose to get "Fly", young rhymer Gliffics gives listeners something to think about.]
There's been a lot of popularity behind the video for "Just a Thought."
It was directed by me. The premise behind the video is that there's an artist sitting in a grimy basement and she starts to draw and I'm a figment of her imagination. So as she starts to draw, I appear and everything that happens in the video is basically being controlled by her. So, she'll draw a gun and it'll appear in my hand. It's a very dope video.
The reason why I chose to highlight is because a lot of people gravitated toward that track. I have singles on my album that are radio ready, but the people that would hear my album would tell me this was their favorite track. So when it was time to make a video, I went against the grain and decided to make something for the people.
The people like it, some had negative things to say ... trying to compare me to J. Cole and stuff like that. I'm not coming out as an artist trying to beef with people. I definitely like J. Cole, I think his album is dope and he's saying alot fo stuff I can relate to.
I think a big message behind my music is that there's more out there. You don't have to stay in the hood to remember where you came from. I got two felonies before the age of 16. I used to rob people and rob houses and stuff like that. I used to beg for money and eat out of the garbage when I was a kid, really tough growing up in New York. But I turned my life around.
I'm more than just someone who just wants to rap. Hip Hop really saved my life.
Gliffics is a 26-year-old rapper from Brooklyn, New York. He has worked with producer Ill Mind. Gliffics plays double-duty, serving as rapper and producer on many of his records. His video for "Just A Thought" was honored by YouTube for views in its respective time period. Gliffics performed alongside A Tribe Called Quest earlier this year. His next project is coming soon.

The artisan trail is to help encourage visitors to go to local businesses like craft stores. They already have about 100 potential participants in it. It's something that the town is excited to be apart of but it also comes with a price.
The Artisan Center of Virginia says they estimate the two years for the trail will cost about $30,000. So far some participating businesses and private donations will cover the costs.
"It really helps us to showcase what we have and show it off to folks from outside the county and also lets people know what their neighbors are doing too," says Mitchell Bond, Goose Creek Studio.
The people involved say not only will it help bring more tourists in but it also creates a sense of community and pride for the Bedford area.

Nashua mayor's words called 'harsh' in wake of 'smear campaign' talk
"I find it disappointing," Pappas said, contending no one within the department is engaged in a smear campaign against the mayor or any public official. Although Pappas said he has some personal thoughts on why the mayor would make those accusations against the police department, he refused to elaborate.
Although that investigation included numerous wiretaps and ultimately determined that no crimes were committed by David Lozeau, the mayor said the closed case "came back to life" around the time she publicly criticized Nashua police unions for failing to negotiate new contracts that included health care concessions.
Lozeau believes at least one person in the police department attempted to start a "smear campaign based on an unfounded investigation to achieve political goals."
On Wednesday, Lozeau said she has not hired a personal attorney in connection with the matter. However her husband, David, previously hired attorney Rick Lehmann of Douglas, Leonard and Garvey.
"I have to count on the fact that people in our community know me. I have been a public servant for 20 years now," she said. "If I tell you something, it is the facts. I have always been straightforward."
"Any investigation that the Nashua Police Department did concerning her husband or anybody else would be done for justifiable reasons," Chief Seusing said this week. "To make any connection between disagreements between the mayor's office and the police department is absolutely false."

Ontario Association of Police Educators
"Fostering Excellence in Police Training . . .for over 25 Years!"
Our 2013 annual conference with its theme of "Emerging trends in police governance" is now over. Reviews coming in suggest that it may have been our most popular conference in recent times. 110 delegates from most of the Ontario police services were on hand to network with community colleges and police services from Manitoba and British Columbia. Added to that mix were members of the OACP, OPVTA, CPKN, Interpol (France), JIBC, CAPE, the Military, SIU, OIPRD, and OPC. Delegates felt that all of the speakers and presentations were timely and informative. Case studies were a somber reminder of the need for training branches to continue to provide excellent opportunities to enhance Ontario's police officers.
We have already begun to plan for our conference in 2014. Two speakers are already committed. Next years' theme will be in keeping with the quarter century anniversary, focusing on our grass roots and training evolution since 1989. We hope to see you at the Ontario Police College 25 – 29 August. The conference is open to all police trainers, managers, and their office support staff. We are searching for contact information for any former executive members in the hopes of inviting them to the anniversary. Please spread the word to any that you know of.
Details are being finalized for the spring seminar surrounding one of the primary policing and border concerns in southern and eastern Ontario; Mexican Drug Cartel investigations and the inroads that have been made. We are partnering with Mohawk College in Hamilton to bring this critical training to the law enforcement community of the GTA and all borders points. I encourage you to consider sending your investigators.
There is a renewed interest in the Reid Child Sexual Offender Interviewing and Interrogation course that we co-hosted with the Ontario Police College a few years ago. We are planning on hosting this popular course in the upcoming spring.
Please also check our website periodically for other courses and upcoming events that our members host.
Yours in training,
Michael Knight

Verizon Wireless has announced a new data plan that will allow up to 10 mobile devices to all be under one bundle, but users will have to pay close attention to data usage.
The new Share Everything plan allows users to have cellphones, tablets and any other gadgets on one monthly bill. The plan features unlimited phone calls and text messaging for $40. Data plans varies. The most inexpensive option is 1 GB for $50 a month, and the options go up all the way to 10 GB for $100 a month. The cheapest monthly plan for one phone will cost $90. Additional devices cost extra.
The plan starts June 28, and all new customers will be required to purchase the Share Everything plan or one of two plans for phone calls and text messages only.
For existing customers with the old unlimited plan, Verizon will no longer allow plans to be transferred to new phones starting June 28. The only way a customer can do this is if they pay full price for the new phone.
WTOC received a statement from Verizon saying the following:
General Statement: Our goals in creating the Share Everything Plan were three-fold:
To that end, the new Share Everything Plans include unlimited voice minutes, unlimited text, video and picture messaging and a single data allowance for up to 10 Verizon Wireless devices. They are simple to understand. Customers no longer have to think about their voice and message plans, because both are automatically unlimited in every Share Everything package. Data packages start at $50 per month for 1GB of data and go up to $100 per month for 10 GB of data. They cover every device Verizon Wireless offers, from basic phones to smartphones, from tablets to Jetpacks and more.
To help customer determine the best Share Everything Plan option, Verizon Wireless has created an easy to use online tool at www.verizonwireless.com/ShareEverything.
Managing Data Usage: Managing your data limit with this plan is easy. To help prevent data overages, customers will receive free usage alerts via text messages or email -- when their account data usage reaches 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% of their data allowance. If needed customers may change their monthly data allowance at any time during their monthly billing cycle after they have exceeded their data allowance. And this change does not require a customer to extend their service contract.

Guido envisages the end of Wendy
Poor Wendy Alexander. When I worked in Scotland I got on well with her. I thought she transcended the mediocre of most other politicians north of the Border. But with the police hovering, she might well end up in court. Guido Fawkes has imagined what it might be like (with a Bananarama soundtrack). Could this be the future of Party Political broadcasts?

Capitoline She Wolf Dating Followup
… I can only imagine what sort search engine hits I'm going to get from that headline … In any event, t'other day we mentioned that the coverage of the redating of the Capitoline wolf really didn't satisfy in terms of presenting anything new (and the lack of coverage in English didn't help me in that regard). Now, Rosella Lorenzi's coverage for Discovery.com fills in the gaps … the bit that matters:
[...] Using accelerator mass spectrometry, the researchers extracted, analyzed and radiocarbon dated organic samples from the casting process. The results revealed with an accuracy by 95,4 percent that the sculpture was crafted between the 11th and 12th century AD.
"The new thesis is that it is a medieval copy of an original Etruscan work," Rome's municipality supervisor for culture, Umberto Broccoli, said.
He remarked that the Etruscan attribution was first made by 18th-century German art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann on the basis of how the wolf's fur was represented. [...]
- via: Rome Icon Actually Younger Than the City (Discovery.com)
So it does appear that there was some additional tech work and not just fudging with the numbers. Somewhat disappointing to learn, I suppose, but the 'new thesis' seems reasonable (even if it is sort of a 'scholarly compromise'). That said, we still anxiously await to hear whether the Chimera of Arezzo will fall into the same category …
UVa Update
As the threat to Classics at UVa slowly fades away, Jon Mikalson (William R. Kenan, Jr.
Professor of Classics at UVa) sends along a letter from the Dean that is worth putting on the record in all this kerfuffle:
It is troubling to hear that inaccurate assertions made in recent news
reports have resulted in unwarranted speculation about the future of our
Classics and German departments. Let me assure you that I am unaware of
any suggestion from the Board of Visitors or any credible source that
any of our departments or programs should be reduced or eliminated.
I never thought I have to say something so obvious, but now I am forced
to say it: the Classics program is not only a center of excellence in
the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, it is highly
sustainable financially. It is a magnet for major research and teaching
grants. German language and literature is and will remain a vital part
of the education we offer to undergraduate and graduate students.
Please let me know what else I can do to help put this disturbing rumor
to rest, and I would appreciate your distributing this message to your

Competition for Dexter McCluster & Javier Arenas? Or a dangerous, dangerous kick return team?
I wanted to know more about our new Chief, so looking around SB Nation...
Demond Washington showed his blazing speed with the fastest 40 time of the event, at 4.30 seconds. We knew he could FLY! I used to question whether a small corner could play in the NFL, and Washington measured only 5 feet 8 inches tall. However, former Tiger Jeraud Powers is about that size, and he got a ton of playing time in the league last year. Who knows? Washington may end up being a kick return specialist.
Throw a deep corner route at Demond Washington once, fine, try it again, and you get an interception in your face. Then when you do finally score, you kick the ball directly to him? Paid for that mistake too! A 94 yard stroll through the park later, TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!
Secondary: C+. The Tigers did uncharacteristically snag two interceptions, but both were bad throws caused by a ferocious pass rush. Auburn's weakness all year has been allowing receivers to catch the ball in the flat, and run. Oregon got the lion's share of their 449 yards doing just that. Seven different Duck receivers gouged the Tiger defense for 374 passing yards, six of which had multiple catches. Kudos to Demond Washington for adjusting and tracking down Jeff Maehl on the 81 yard completion. Maehl got behind both safeties, but Washington closed the gap and ran him out of bounds from the opposite side of the play. Maehl had the biggest Duck play, and he caught 9 balls for 133 yards. Subtract the 81 yarder, and that's 52 yards on 8 catches. Auburn did tackle pretty well in the secondary, particularly free safety Mike McNeil. McNeil had 14 total tackles, 12 solo. Demond Washington added 7 stops.
Demond Washington has 918 kick return yards this season, and that's already a single season record.
But no where on the team is more swag being emitted than from KR Demond Washington. This guy is a legitimate threat to break it wide open on every catch. He finally got his long one for a TD and he averaged over 35 per against Ole Miss. He's currently 3rd in the nation in total return yardage, and with McCalleb back there with him, it's a pick your poison dilemma for opposing place kickers.
I left out the one about nearly costing the game because of a ....fumble (nobody wants to hear about that stuff right?)

STARTING AT $129.00 (with stock transformer)
SAME FAMOUS FAT HEAD SOUND (sonically the same as all of the other stock FAT HEAD'S)
Same ribbon motor and transformer - less aluminum case, wood box and premium shockmount
Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon the new Cascade FAT HEAD houses a hand-tuned ribbon element that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design. This design offers a true figure 8 pattern. The corrugated aluminum membrane itself is positioned in the center from front to back, thus producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly. This design is very useful when executing a mid-side or Blumlein recording set-up and also great for live stage use. The FAT HEAD warm full-bodied signature and increased sensitivity is what you would expect and demand from a professional ribbon microphone and the FAT HEAD delivers. The FAT HEAD is suited for guitar cabinets, drum over-heads, vocal, piano, horns, strings, and much more.
My name is Jeremy Coverdale, I run a studio in Redding, Ca. I also play in Wesley Jensen and the Wildcats. We have been using your Fat Head mic a lot for various different tracking needs and I really love what you have done. The Fat Head I am using is on loan to me from a fellow engineer friend. I gotta say, I have been using this mic with many other mics 10x the price and it really holds up. The Fat Head I am using is not even the upgraded one. I am amazed by the warmth and clarity.
Also, We just made a little promo video of a live recording of one of our new songs and recorded all the audio with the Fat Head placed in the middle with us standing around the mic. I ran the mic into a Universal Audio LA610 (really makes this mic come alive). This is a live one take video and I am more than happy with how well the audio came through. It took a little figuring out the best distance from the mic for each of us but i think we really got a good mix... there was very little eq done and NO overdubs

Then, I attempted to diagram the difference in the students' and teachers' roles in the process of "doing projects" vs. engaging in project-based learning. The differences are subtle at first, but they have a great impact on students' opportunity to develop of 21st-century skills. When we "do a project", it often is a "capstone" to a unit where teachers held the answers, asked kids to do a specific set of tasks, and students found out and memorized the content answers until the unit ended. In project-based learning, instead of starting with teachers having all the answers, teachers instead pose a question, and students engage in inquiry to discover the answers, thereby developing the skills needed to solve problems, communicate, and be successful in real-world situations. Doing projects results in a bit of a "dead end" in learning, whereas PBL systems allow for learning to build and for skills to be developed and applied to more and more challenging problems.

Toronto Fashion Week runs from March 18-22, in a large—and stylishly appointed—tent at David Pecaut Square. We're posting full galleries from the buzziest runways. Here's what trendsetters will be wearing in fall 2013.
Joe Fresh by Joe Mimran
Mimran's Loblaw-owned mass market label is exceedingly popular with most Canadians (and a good number of Americans), and his semi-annual runway show has become one of Fashion Week's biggest parties.
As the Pink Tartan show proved earlier this week, the society set comes out in droves for everything Mimran. We spotted Suzanne Cohon with CFL commissioner husband Mark, Dragon's Den star Arlene Dickinson, Galen Weston, David Nugent flying solo (his wife Catherine had to cancel last minute), Bruce C. Bailey, CBC News's Amanda Lang, Big Brother Canada host Arissa Cox and of course, Joe's loving wife Kim (who jumped to give a rousing standing ovation.) Afterwards, the party decamped to nearby Storys where even models from the show had a tough time getting in (they eventually did) and Bailey cut a rug. Even Mr. Fresh himself made an appearance.

Saturday's rain fall coupled with a broken water main stranded some Jackson residents in their homes.
3 On Your Side learned Wayneland Drive floods almost every time a steady rain storm rolls through, according to residents.
A number of drivers braved the murky waters, while others turned around.
The water could be seen splashing into people's front yard and drive ways. After contacting the city several times for the last eight months, one homeowner called WLBT.
Bubbling water could be seen where the water main broke.
"Which wouldn't be that bad of an issue if it wasn't for the fact that storm drains are stopped up. So all the water doesn't have any place to go. It's just sitting right there in the middle of the road," said Johnny Rowland, who's tired of the flooding streets.
Residents say it only takes about half an hour for the street to fill with water during a heavy rain, but much long for it to recede.

One Injured in a Three Vehicle Collision on I-24
Date of News Release: 04/14/2010
(Christian County) -- Mr. David E. Tanner, Chris D. Allen and Kevan C. Mills were heading eastbound on I-24 in Christian County when they came upon the construction zone around the 91 mile-marker. Mr. Tanner and Mr. Allen were applying their brakes to slow down because of traffic. Mr. Mills also applied his brakes when he saw that traffic was coming to a stop but was unable to complete a full stop before making contact with the rear of Mr. Allen's vehicle. The collision pushed Mr. Allen's vehicle forward into the rear of Mr. Tanner's motorcycle. Mr. Allen had to receive medical attention on scene and was then transported by Christian County EMS to Gateway Medical Center in Clarksville Tennessee. All three vehicles were damaged in the collision, but no other injuries were reported other than Mr. Allen.

The plane that crashed at the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport early Monday morning was a cargo plane contracted by FedEx. The two pilots who were attempting to land the plane just after 4:30 Tuesday morning are now out of the hospital.
Before dawn in frozen temperatures, two pilots miraculously walked away from a crashed Fed Ex plane. The 26-year-old female pilot is from Tacoma, Washington. Her co-pilot is a 52-year-old male from Portland, Oregon.
LPSIA Airport Director James Loomis says the wreckage left behind a trail of fuel. When asked if that is believed to be what caused the fire Loomis replied, "Sure it did, making contact with the ground breaking off fuel in the wing tank and the heat caused the fire," Loomis said.
Loomis says a crash fire unit rescue team responded first, followed by the Lubbock Fire Department. He says firefighters had the blaze out within minutes and adds there was no indication of an emergency prior to the crash. "As far as the airport goes the conditions were acceptable and, like I said, it crashed way short of its intended touch down," Loomis said.
Here's what Loomis estimates happened; planes typically touch down about a thousand feet into the runway, before coming to a peaceful stop. However, Loomis says the FedEx cargo plane never made it that far and crashed between two and three hundred feet before the runway ever began. "It bounded up onto what we call a blast pad which is the end of the runway, ran through some lights, skidded through the runway," Loomis added.
As for what caused the crash, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials are expected in Lubbock Tuesday evening to start answering those questions.
According to Loomis, the plane was coming from the Fort Worth Alliance Airport, a FedEx hub. A FedEx representative told NewsChannel 11 the plane was carrying 7300 pounds of freight. They also said the company contracted the aircraft through Empire Airways. Late Tuesday afternoon we called and left a message with Empire Airways and are still awaiting a call back.
As of Tuesday evening, we do not know what types of cargo were on the plane, but customers who have concerns that their package possibly on onboard should call 1-800-GO-FedEx. You will need your tracking number. FedEx says their claims department will work with shippers to figure out what to do to about destroyed packages.
Meanwhile Loomis says the plane will remain where it is for the next few days while the NTSB continues their investigation.

The following guest post is written by my dear friend Katie.
Now that the holidays are over, my life gets back to normal. Back to work, back to school, back to busy. As much as I enjoy relaxing at home and seeing my family, I thrive on schedules, routines, and procedures.
I am a teacher. My husband is an engineer. Between the two of us, we work close to 100 hours per week. The Lord has blessed us with wonderful jobs that not only provide for our family, but are fulfilling and enjoyable; however, there is much organization that has to occur in order for this house to run smoothly. I grew up in a house that boasted perfectly made beds, folded and pressed laundry, and carpets with immaculate vacuum lines nearly every day.
Over the past 4 years, I have learned that my house won't always be perfectly clean. I will have to live with laundry sitting in the basket for more than 1 day. I can't make perfect meals from scratch every night after a full school day, workout, and a 35 minute commute.
If there was ever one thing that needed the most help from organization, it would be food. When I think about our family and food, I think of 3 words: Healthy, Inexpensive, and Quick. Here are several things I do to keep things that way:
- Invest time on Sundays to prepare food for the week. We eat mostly skinless, boneless chicken breasts and lean ground beef for dinner, so I like to pre-cook those meats (if I can) beforehand so that they can easily be made into healthy meals (pre-baked chicken becomes low-fat enchiladas, browned ground beef becomes stuffed peppers with brown rice or tacos). If the meat will be made into a casserole, I will usually make that casserole on Sunday and either refrigerate it or freeze it, depending on when we will eat it in the week.
- Plan easy breakfast dishes that can also be made on Sunday and eaten all week. We love to switch off between quiche and blueberry apple bran muffins. Both are very inexpensive, healthy recipes, not to mention addicting (I put down 3-4 of those muffins every day. Pathetic, but at least I am getting whole grains!)
- Always plan on a meal lasting for two nights. I only prepare for 3-4 meals per week. For two people, I cook for 4. We eat half one night and have the rest the next night. Not only does this mean I don't really have to cook the second night- it means we have to control our portions or we don't have dinner the next night. Many times I have said, "Babe, you eat that other chicken breast and you won't have any tomorrow". Fork down. If you can't handle the same thing twice in a row, alternate nights. Monday pairs with Wednesday, Tuesday pairs with Thursday, and so on.
- Make "two-fer" meals. You know, meals that allow you to make one meal and reuse some of the leftovers as a different recipe. We really like Stuffed Peppers turned into Loose Meat Sliders (a.k.a. sloppy joes).
- Make lunches the night before and prepackage things like chips and fruit in baggies for quick prep. On Sundays, I precut all of our fruit (Daniel loves pineapple and cantelope!) and bag them into their own baggies. When I am packing his lunches the night before each work day, I make him a fresh sandwich and then just grab prebagged fresh fruits. I do the same with crackers, chips, or other lunch items. We are both more likely to eat healthfully if it is readily accessible.
- Make recipes that have only a few ingredients. This will keep grocery costs down, as will only preparing 3-4 meals per week. We love Mama Loves Food's Baked Potato Soup. We usually sub fat free sour cream and ham chunks for the cream cheese and bacon.
- Be stubborn, get creative, and stalk meat sales. I go to the store once each week, even if that means I have to go to a few stores in one day to get the best deals (Our Aldi has 1 gallon of milk for $1.99. Worth the extra park job). If I forget something, I become stubborn. We simply will not eat it if we don't have it on hand. When I see meat on sale, I stock up. This initially makes our grocery bill go up, but I make cheaper meals the following week to make up for it. This is where being creative comes in . The other day, I found pork shoulders for $1/lb on sale. I bought two and they were each 9 pounders (Daniel got a smoker for Christmas. How happy he was when I came home with those groceries?!), which hiked our weekly bill up $20. When we cook them in the Spring, we will have several meals worth of meat- and will probably have Jenni and her husband over to help us eat it .
I hope what I do will give you some ideas to stay organized, eat easily, cheaply, and healthfully, and allow you to spend time with your family in the evening instead of slaving in the kitchen. It might seem like Sunday isn't very restful, but it still is. In the end, you will be so thankful you invested a few hours of your time to prepare for the week. I promise!
