RAYVILLE, La., (KNOE 8 News) —The former owner of a Rayville personal care services agency has pleaded guilty to defrauding the state's Medicaid program, according to Attorney General Buddy Caldwell.
Patricia A. Bell, 52, of 111 Alabama Street, Rayville, was charged by bill of information in the Fifth Judicial District Court. Bell pleaded guilty to one count of Medicaid fraud and agreed to pay $848,765.23 in restitution to the Medicaid program, $200,000 in civil monetary penalties, $50,000 in costs of investigation and prosecution, as well as all court costs associated with her unlawful conduct. Bell has also agreed to be excluded from participating as a provider in the Medicaid program.
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said, "Medicaid fraud steals tax dollars, robs funds intended for needed care, and drives up health care costs for all of us. My Medicaid Fraud Control Unit will continue its efforts to crack down on fraud and ensure that everyone plays by the rules."
"We work closely with our partners at the Attorney General's Office to identify fraud in the Medicaid system," said William Root, Chief Compliance Officer at DHH who oversees the Medicaid Program Integrity Office. "When we identify potential fraud cases, like this one, we refer them to the AG's team for further investigation and prosecution. The citizens of Louisiana expect us to ensure their tax dollars are used wisely, especially for programs that provide critical services to thousands of Louisiana residents and children."
As a Medicaid provider, Bell operated a personal care services agency called Cookies Helping Hand, Inc. with locations in Rayville and Crowville. Personal care service agencies provide home care services to eligible Medicaid recipients. All home care aids providing the home care services must pass a statewide background check conducted prior to becoming an eligible caregiver. As a result of the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit's investigation, it was discovered that Ms. Bell falsified multiple background checks to make it appear as if she was in compliance with program rules requiring background checks be conducted on all home care aids. It was also discovered that she billed Medicaid for services not actually rendered to recipients.
At the time of Bell's arrest in July 2011, the Department of Health and Hospitals announced that it had terminated its Medicaid agreement with her agency.
Today's guilty plea is a result of an investigation conducted by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Assistant Attorneys General Lacey Hebert and Nicholas Diez prosecuted the case.
To report suspected Medicaid Fraud, please contact the Louisiana Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at 888-799-6885.

E70 - Unable to reformat memory card, program already using it

E70 - Unable to reformat memory card, program already using it
I just upgraded the E70 with new firmware (to 31-08-06), using Nokia SW upgrader. Before upgrading, I removed the memory card, just in case.
After a successful upgrade, the phone tries to install some SW
when turning it on, and the memory card is inserted. The installation
fails. So it retries the next time turning on as well....
Looking in Tools->Program Management, I see that there is 2000109b.sis
entry with a memory card symbol, indicating "not installed". Trying to
install it does not work. There is also no option for deleting that entry,
as there usually is.
Since the problem is obviously something placed in a magic location on
the memory card, I thought I might reformat the memory card. But when
I try that, it says that it can't reformat due to some other program using it.
Not any program I have started....
I guess the obvious solution is to go and have the card reformatted in
a PC or something, but I don't have a SD formatter here.
Using PC Suite file browser don't reveal any files on the memory card.
Trying to connect in data storage mode (instead of PC suite mode)
gives the same error; can't connect due to memory card already in use.
So if anyone has any great suggestions, I'd appreciate that very much.
I have a hard time understanding the program management part.
What is it keeping track of? When installing a Java appl., the JAR
file can be deleted from the program manager. When the screen updates
again after a few seconds, then the corresponding JAD file pops up
and has to be deleted as well. When you delete the Java application
itself, there is a remaining entry in the program manager saying "not
installed". Well, maybe I don't want to know how it works... being
able to reformat the memory card would be nice....

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time character vignette offers a glimpse of in-game action for European launch
By Emily Gera on Mar 21, 2013 03.21.13
A Sly Cooper-based character vignette was released by Sony in time for the European and Australian launch of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita on March 29 and March 28, respectively. The game is the fourth title in the Sly Cooper stealth-platformer series. While previous titles in the Sly anthology were developed by Sucker Punch Productions, Thieves in Time is the work of Sanzaru Games, the studio that previously ported Sly PlayStation 2 titles to PS3. Have a look at some of the in-game action that's already been available throughout North America since early February. The PS3 release gained a 6 out of 10 from Polygon in a review that stated: "The bad pacing in level design, the overwhelming mix of things to do without any sense of how to piece them together...

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time animated short turns back the clock
By Samit Sarkar on Jan 25, 2013 01.25.13
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time developer Sanzaru Games reached out to animation studio Ghostbot for the game's 2D animated cinematics, and Ghostbot created an animated short that was posted on the PlayStation Blog today. Ghostbot co-founder and director Alan Lau, who called himself "a big fan of the original [Sly Cooper] games," discussed the project in the article. "We wanted to make sure our addition to Sly's journey respected the fun and charm of the original games. At the same time, we wanted to push the quality of the art and animation to the next level as well as bring the audience something they hadn't seen before," he said. According to Lau, Ghostbot took pains to ensure that the look of the 2D animation "integrated with what Sanzaru was doing in 3D" in the game, saying, "We...

BSD - Bumped from the fanposts, here's a special Christmas present from our friend skarocksoi.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Columbus,
Not a creature was stirring, as knocked cold was Brutus;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that the boosters would all soon be there;
The Buckeyes were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of new 'vettes danced in their heads;
And Pryor in his eye black, and Tress in his vest,
Had just settled down for a long winter's rest,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
T sprang from his bed to see what was the matter;
Away to the window he flew like a flash,
As he runs a 4.33 in the 40 yard dash;
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer;
With an odd little driver, with tatts so intricate,
He knew in a moment it must be St. Clarett;
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now Rainey! Now Quinn! Now Little and Austin!
On Bryant! On Green! On Posey and Herron!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
So up the the house-top the reindeer all flew,
With a sleigh full of Grey Goose, and St. Clarett too;
Faster than his pro career crashed to the ground,
Down the chimney St. Clarett came with a bound;
He was dressed all in Kevlar, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with prison soot;
A bundle of AK's he had flung on his back,
He looked like a guerilla just opening his pack;
His eyes--how they twinkled! His guns, how scary!
From the vodka his cheeks were as red as a cherry!
A stern little scowl streched across his face,
Probably from the combo of Tazer and Mace;
The stump of a blunt he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That comes with 3 to 5 in a state prison cell-y;
He was chubby and plump, that surley Buckeye,
And you'd laugh if you saw him, even though he robbed a guy;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Would fill any man with a feeling of dread;
He spoke not a word, but let Terrelle do the talking,
As elite gifts and cash he put in each stocking,
To each little Buckeye he gave something great,
As 9 times out of 10, his gifts dominate;
And laying his .45 aside his nose,
And giving a nod, he fell out the window,
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, as he fled from the cops,

A person familiar with the negotiations says the San Francisco 49ers have reached agreement on a five-year contract with defensive lineman Ray McDonald. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press on Wednesday because free agent deals can't become official - or be formally announced - until Friday.||||||| McDonald was high on new general manager Trent Baalke's list of players to bring back for 2011 and beyond. He could become a starter at defensive end depending on how the roster shakes out. The 26-year-old McDonald has started only nine games in his first four NFL seasons, all in 2008. He recorded 19 tackles last season for San Francisco (6-10) and returned his lone interception 31 yards for his first career touchdown.
McDonald has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. San Mateo County Assistant District Attorney Karen Guidotti said Thursday that McDonald's attorney entered the plea on the player's behalf on Monday. Guidotti says a pretrial conference has been set for Sept. 28 and a jury trial for Oct. 18, if he does not resolve the case.||||||| McDonald was arrested June 12 after a California Highway Patrol officer pulled him over in his black BMW on Interstate 280 for allegedly driving 94 mph. His blood-alcohol content was not released. McDonald publicly apologized after he was booked into a Redwood City jail. If convicted, the 25-year-old could face a maximum of six months in jail.
The San Francisco 49ers have placed McDonald on the active physically unable to perform list, an expected move as he recovers from offseason knee surgery.||||||| McDonald hurt his right knee last Oct. 19 against the New York Giants and underwent reconstructive surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament.

Well, the Reds certainly opened up the pocketbooks on this one. Yahoo's reporting that Francisco Cordero signed with Cincy for $46M over 4 years, which averages to $11.5M per year. Yahoo is also reporting that the Cordero contract includes a team option for a 5th year at approx. $11M.
This is the largest four-year deal ever for a closer, surpassing Billy Wagner's $43M/4 deal with the Mets two years ago. It's not the richest contract ever for a closer, that would be Mariano Rivera's $45M/3 deal with the Yankees a week ago, but it's still a ton of money.
So what does everyone think about this one? Cordero's got sick stuff and all, but he walks a few too many batters for my taste. I don't think the move to GAB will hurt him as much as most, since he's familiar with pitching in offensive environments in Texas and Milwaukee.
Another blow for the Milwaukee bullpen, which has now lost both Cordero and Linebrink, although with Scott perhaps it's addition by subtraction. Both departures were probably expected, so I'm sure the front office has a plan to shore the pen up. It'll be interesting to see how Melvin responds. The last 2 years, he's gone ouside the system and acquired bullpen pieces via trade.

Outright Misreadings Fuel GOP Opposition to New START
Friday, April 09, 2010 at 9:24 am
Quelle surprise. Eli Lake reports today that regardless of Sen. Richard Lugar's (R-Ind.) support for the New START nuclear-arms reduction treaty with Russia, the Republican leadership is signaling its dissatisfaction with the treaty:
"Republicans have made clear for months what needs to be done in order to move this process; there's been no ambiguity in our position on a strong missile defense, nuclear triad and the need to verify any treaty," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican.
Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, Arizona Republicans, said they are concerned about additional references beyond the opening paragraphs of the treaty on missile defenses.
"While we were initially advised that the only reference to missile defense was in the preamble to the treaty, we now find that there are other references to missile defense, some of which could limit U.S. actions," they said in a statement.
This is quite a curious set of objections. The "unilateral" Russian references to missile defense don't appear to be more than the Russians expressing dissatisfaction with missile defense, none of which bind the U.S. from deploying a missile shield. As for verification, for the first time in nuclear-arms treaties with the Russians, New START allows on-site inspections of Russian missile silos and nuclear storage areas — and the main reason for that is if the treaty relied on what's called telemetry, or information about U.S. missile launches, that would potentially jeopardize missile defense by giving away too much information about the missiles that a missile-defense system relies upon. How's that for a commitment to missile defense?
And what's this stuff about the triad? (The "triad" is a shorthand for the three kinds of delivery systems for nuclear weapons: missiles, submarines and bombers.) Not only are all three aspects of the triad preserved in the treaty, the Nuclear Posture Review released this week explicitly preserves it. And, again, it commits the U.S. to deploying a missile defense system. All of this is public information available on the Internet.
The other objection cited in Eli's piece is about modernization of the nuclear stockpile, something else that the Nuclear Posture Review explicitly pledges, and for which Defense Secretary Gates arranged a $5 billion transfer of funding to the national nuclear laboratories to ensure. To the extent the objection withstands scrutiny, either GOP Senators disbelieve Gates, or they're trying to resurrect the Reliable Replacement Warhead — a system that experts consider a new nuclear weapon (which the Obama administration doesn't want to develop) and which Congress killed during the Bush administration.
My understanding is that the Obama administration believes the Senate GOP leadership was always going to make noise about the treaty for political reasons, so the statements here probably don't come as any surprise. But they do indicate, barometrically, that the leadership considers it more important to give Obama a bloody nose on a crucial aspect of his agenda this year than to cut the U.S. and Russian nuclear stockpiles by 30 percent. On that central issue, the GOP is pretty silent. Doug Feith, the former Bush administration undersecretary of defense, even tells Eli, "There is no problem with a new START treaty in principle."
So the objection is political, and that means that when hearings start in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the task of administration officials will be to cut off the GOP's lines of objection, along with pointing out that nuclear-arms control treaties typically pass with huge margins of Senate support as the administration has been doing, from President Obama on down. But precedent isn't binding on anyone. The key will be whether the GOP leadership decides to bring pressure on the caucus to vote against the treaty or allows senators to vote their own consciences. With Lugar's support, Obama needs seven GOP senators and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) Tough road ahead for Brian McKeon.

Quelle surprise indeed. I have an awful feeling that this is going to get hung up in the Senate over some completely unrelated issue. Some Republican will claim that the treaty indirectly leads to some positive outcome for an illegal immigrant somewhere, and we'll hear about how reducing arms is something Nazis would do.

Surprise? No, SOP. Opposing party always has negative comments. The examples above seem mild compared to Clinton and Bush comments – almost a non-story.
Comment posted April 11, 2010 @ 2:24 pm
The START agreement and the tragic terrorist attacks in Russia critically inform one another. Working with Russia is a no-brainer, but emulating their brutal "enhanced interrogation techniques" and military solutions to terrorism can only spark furious retaliation:

Is it just me, or are Muppets like so hot right now?
Between one of the best 30 Rock eps ever, the What Not Shop at FAO still cranking 'em out and this dude's humorous conspiracy theory about 30 Rock being a Muppet Show ripoff, which it totally is - The Muppets are what's up. They're everywhere.
Did you know that there's a Muppet comic book and it's super popular? I sure didn't.
Oscar The Grouch (and Darth Vader) are in Night at the Museum 2. Since I won't see this until years from now when my only choices of TV viewing one Sunday evening are it on ABC and Patriot Games on TBS, for now I'll have to assume Oscar has huge role. Check him out at 1:45-1:47 of the trailer.
Also the UK has granted Muppets the right of citizenship, according to this (funny?) article on a blog I've never heard of and can't really get my head around.
'We have learned lessons on this one,' said new Home Secretary Alan Johnson at a press conference 'The Government understands that the public want to provide a welcome to those who have dedicated their lives to entertaining our nation; that's why we're giving all Muppets the right to live in the UK, not just those who retired before the disastrous Muppets Tonight series in 1997.'
Um, OK. Read all about it here. Seriously, I don't get this. Perhaps it is too British for my vulgar American palette?
Anyhoo, Jimmy Smits (Yes! Senator Organa himself, can you believe it?!) is hosting our nation's B-Day celebration in D.C. this year and not only will Barry Manilow and the cast of Jersey Boys be performing, but the Muppets from over on Sesame Street also scored the gig. Those cats are hot, even if most of them are pushing 40.
I'd call myself connected and aware of current events, so I can't believe I missed this one. Jim Henson's Fantastic World! Luckily, I'll have another chance to catch it this fall in the burbs.Jim Henson's Fantastic World traveling exhibition
So, it's pretty clear that the Muppets are going strong and their latest Christmas Special (which drops on DVD September 29th) was better than most recent efforts. Keep on the look out for a Halloween TV special this fall. But, as we watch these beloved characters change with times and with favorite Muppeteers long gone leaving some voices still just not quite right (I assumed Frank Oz would continue perform until he died, but I guess movie-making is a full time job), one can't help but notice that this generation of kids and Muppets are vastly different from the Henson years. While I really enjoyed seeing all the Muppets in ridiculously cute L.L. Beany holiday sweaters for the Christmas special, it makes me a little nervous when they try to be too topical or realistic. The Muppets aren't from this time. They're a vaudeville troop that still exists for some reason decades after the death of that genre. Their magic lies in interacting with current celebrities and scenarios but still remaining true to their spirit - to entertain, save the day and tell really old timey jokes in the process.
The time is ripe for the Muppets to host SNL. Who's with me? Let's get a petition started or something.

In Fall 2012 IT premiered a fifth Bicentennial production, "Cleoma ~ A First" and hosted an evening of SWLA music with "The Magnolia Sisters". That same season back by popular demand IT produced three one-woman plays from Woosley's Louisiana Women: "The Writers" (Maggie, Kate & Rosa). IT closed the 2012 year by inaugurating "The Play's the Thing" — its play reading series of the classics — with Candida by George Bernard Shaw. Candida is Shaw's comedy on the clash of expectations in love. Joy Pace was Director.
IT returned in Fall 2013 with a successful rock opera production of the first rock opera ever written, Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice. The show ran at Rosa Hart Theatre before an audience of 1,500 for two nights. With IT as producers and under the direction of Keith Chamberlain, choreographer Damien Thibodeaux and conductor Bill Rose, set and costume design by Joy Pace, and a cast of 18, the all-professional, all-local show was a hit. Meanwhile, in September 2013 IT began co-hosting the free first-Saturday-of-the-month series Coffee House Theatre with Stellar Beans Coffee House & Edibles, Broad St., Lake Charles. This varied series has show-cased, not only IT productions but also Children's Theatre, ACTS and LCLT productions. The series continues in July 2014 at Stellar Beans.
In Spring 2014 IT produced two ambitious plays: 1. Tuesdays with Morrie, by Jeffrey Hatcher & Mitch Albom and starring Michael Goldman and Mike Muffuletto at Imperial Calcasieu Museum's Gibson Barham Gallery; and, 2. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee and starring Frank Cooper, Joy Pace, Jordan Ashworth and Ronald Doyle also at Imperial Calcasieu Museum.
IT will announce its 2014-2015 season in mid-summer. Stay tuned as Itinerant Theatre cultivates & showcases the talents of young & old in front of, & behind, the curtain.

Live preview not working….
yes sorry, will make live preview work asap.
Nice one settysantu, Could you advice if the 'content slider' or 'slider' modules would work well on this? I'd buy should that be the case. Thanks!
I haven't tested others modules yet, so i can advice at present. Any questions on template feel free to email me via my profile page
Any chance of seeing a live preview somewhere or is the html version live preview accurate enough?
looks as screenshot, will try to set up live preview asap.
Went ahead and bought the theme and I have to say its awesome – 5 stars all the way. I've just compared it to a theme we paid $230 for and this is actually better and nicer to work with. For anyone considering buying this, the featured slider on the front page is really awesome and takes about 35 seconds to set up. The drupal theme prices really should be bumped up to be more in line with the wordpress themes.
Thanks a lot for your nice words, am glad that you liked the template keep buying more drupal from templates of mine
Your themes are great – count on me buying more.
Thanks , your words made me feel nice, i will try my level best to give more nice drupal templates.
settysantu , perfect template! But im wondering how to make the slider work? I cant seem to find the right way, please advice?
Please read help file
Hi Setty, I bought your template but there is no PSD inside, could you send me PSD with layers and slices? Thank you very much for youe VERY GODD job…
Dude email me from my profile page
Hi friends, it seems there is a problem with primary horizontal menu in this theme. I can´t see the submenu in the primany menu and no modules (nice menus etc.) are usable. Dou you have some solution?
Can you email me from my profile page.
Hi there, is this ie 6,7 and 8 ready. Thanks
Will this theme work with Drupal's iCanLocalize plugin? Wil the menu items show up? Also is there a news/blog section possibility on this theme? Im coming from WordPress and I need internationalization (menu with different languages that makes the content change in menu, posts, etc).
Hi, Yes you can set up blog section, you can install language translator module that hepls you.
I'm looking forward to using your theme!
I can't get the slider image to show up. Where exactly am I supposed to create and "images" folder? I'm not clear on what the "root" is.
I've created an images folder with the bimg1.jpg in every area I can think of. I'm working locally on my computer so drupal is installed in my "sites" folder. Inside that folder is drupal, images, and index.html.
Thanks, Jamie
Hi james, If image is not showing then you need to give exact path of the images location, try using absolute path, some time images/image-name.jpg won't work for local installation.
is it multilevels menu ?
No, its not multi level menu
This looks very clean and cool. Is it possible to set up an FAQ page using this template, or would I have to install some kind of Drupal add on?
thanks G
I think you can add as a page for FAQ 's
Hi there, this is a nice theme. Is there a live preview available somewhere? Also is the slider hardcoded or is it a block ie. can you choose only to display on the front page.
Thanks Aaron
Sorry no preview, slider is managed from block with simple code
Hi settysantu!
Just purchased this wonderful theme!
But I have a problem while using this one as the administration theme. E.g. when trying to "Create Content" -> "Book Page", all the settings menus like "Menu Settings" are not accessible. The HTML looks like thisURL path settings Optionally specify an alternative URL by which this node can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work.
Is there a way to make them work?
Can you send me screenshot to my email id, i think u r not specifying url which is mandatory
Hello. This is a nice template, but I was hoping to change some of the images, ie. the background. Was there a .psd file included with the template so that I can accomplish this?
Drop me an email from my profile page so that i can send u.
Is there a Drupal 7 Version coming? An upgrade for the D6 version would be nice!
Ya there will be update as i get time will do it.
Does this theme include all of the standard Drupal theme files, i.e. style.css, .info, template.php etc. Also, is the slider only on the home page? If it is on all of the pages, is it possible to limit the slider to just the home page?
Yes it has all basic theme files, slider is set only for home page.
Hi, I suppose an update for Drupal 7 will take a while, right?
FYI : The included jquery.js seems to break updating any item in the Views UI. Simply commenting out the line that includes jquery.js in the theme's .info file fixes the issue (Drupal ships with jQuery anyways).
Also, I noticed that the slide up/down of the image descriptions is a bit jumpy – on the s3slider homepage, there's a demo where the text slides up or down completely. For this theme it seems to partially slide down, then disappear abruptly. Is there a workaround for this? I think it may be due to the use of padding and margins in the span's CSS style.
Looks like u changes in code, email me the link so that i can help you.

Anecdotal accounts and small studies into intra-familial sperm donation - that is donation of sperm from a father to a son or brother to brother- as a reproductive solution wrought with trouble.
However, Genea's Fertility Counsellors were witnessing a different reality during their work with couples seeking and receiving treatment with us. This lead them to wanting to understand exactly what recipients of intra-familial sperm donation were really experiencing. The findings of their study provide evidence that the experience of intra-familial sperm donation can be positive.

We asked a Microsoft employee in attendance what people were saying of Ballmer. Are they happy with him, do they think he should be in charge?
Here's the Microsoftie's response:
honestly, Ballmer hit a homerun today. he was very honest. acknowledged the great work apple was doing, conceded we needed to be better.
i think today we saw some incredible work we're doing in mobile, IE9 spaces.. really impressive - definitely showed the corporate push to be better here. Tablets are next I'd think - though there's likely some concern about what can be done with current Intel Chipsets around battery life, cooling, etc... all-up, really impressed by the future vision tomorrow - optimistic about tomorrow's results - though i don't think any upside will move the stock personally... too much negativity around the corporate brand.

It's been a wild, almost two-year ride. It started in Boston's South Station in November 2006 where one night, while waiting for the Chinatown bus to New York, I wrote the first lines of code of what eventually became Dropbox. I had forgotten my USB drive at home and was frustrated that I couldn't get any "real work" done.

Whole Tree taking a wholly different approach
Baylor University E-Team building a business from the bottom up
A standard approach to dealing with problems in the developing world is to develop a specific solution to a specific problem: if people lack access to potable water, you develop a water filter for them to buy and use. Need lighting? Manufacture and sell solar lamps. While there's nothing wrong with this approach, Whole Tree, Inc., a former Baylor University E-Team and the first recipient of Venture Well investment funding (see sidebar on page 4), is using a different tactic: alleviating poverty by providing access to huge markets in the US and abroad.
The challenge, of course, is identifying products that a) US markets want in large quantities, and b) can be supplied by people in the developing world.
That was precisely the challenge facing Baylor engineering professor Walter Bradley a few years ago, when he and post-doctoral student John Pumwa sat down and tried to figure out how to help the rural poor in Pumwa's home country of Papua New Guinea and countries like it.
Their solution? Find an abundant, renewable resource grown exclusively in countries where the vast majority of people are poor and try to significantly increase the market value of that abundant resource.
The resource they hit on? Coconuts.
It's not as nutty as it sounds. The coconut palm is ubiquitous throughout the tropical belt that runs around Earth's equator, and while many uses have been found for the nut the tree produces, as well as the husks that encase the nut's hard shell, they are currently of such meager commercial value that a typical coconut farmer in the Philippines, the world leader in coconut production, earns only about a dime for every coconut.1
Bradley and his team set out to increase that number. After a couple of months of research, and backed by a 2004 NCIIA E-Team grant, Bradley's team came up with a suite of coconut-based products designed to up their value: bio-diesel (from coconut oil), pig and chicken feed (from the white "meat"), particle board (from the shells), and anti-erosion matting (from the fuzzy fibers on the shell).
None of the products were quite up to snuff, however. The average coconut farmer makes $500 a year, and Bradley's team wanted to find uses for the coconut that would bring farmers triple what they made, but none of the envisioned products could accomplish that; for instance, the sale price of coconut oil for cooking was a little more than the price they could sell bio-diesel, so they were actually going backwards.
But as is often the case in entrepreneurship, failure can breed success. Bradley's team soon switched tracks to focus Bradley, Jim Kephart (Director of Program Development at Baylor Advanced Research Institute) and a local Waco company that supplies unwoven fiber mats to four major automotive companies resulted in the big innovation: using coconut husks for automotive interiors.
That's right: the coconut car. Bradley and his team partnered with the Waco company to develop technology that converts coconut husk fibers into a safe and suitable replacement for the synthetic polyester fibers used to make trunk liners, floorboards, and interior door covers on cars.
This is potentially a huge market, and investors and grant-makers are paying attention. After incorporating as Whole Tree, Inc., and taking on Baylor graduate students Elisa Guzman-Teipel and Stanton Greer as key leaders, the team won SBIR Phase I funding (Phase II is in the works), and recevied funding from private investors, NCIIA's Venture Well included.
The market is proving receptive as well; Whole Tree is now working with several major car companies and tier 1 parts-makers to incorporate coconut fiber composites into car parts. "The automotive industry is one of the hardest industries to penetrate," said Guzman-Teipel, "but we're almost there."
They're also working out their supply chain, with Stanton Greer taking the lead in the SBIR Phase II proposal to develop Whole Tree's supply chain and Guzman-Teipel working in the field to "make sure that our partners are up to par, make sure everyone's on the same page, and make sure we get high quality materials no matter what country they're coming from."
With as much as 100 million pounds of coconuts potentially going into cars per year and 95% of the world's coconut supply grown by poor farmers, Whole Tree is nearing its goal of helping the poor by providing them with access to major global markets.
"From the beginning, we've wanted to affect the people at the bottom of the pyramid first," said Guzman-Teipel. "The way that we've gone about it isn't simply to say, 'Ok, here's a problem and we're going to fix it.' We believe both the US and the developing world can benefit if we design the right products."
Whole Tree is also an ideal example of how a team can achieve success using NCIIA's programs to their fullest. Whole Tree has participated in nearly every NCIIA offering, earning two E-Team grants, attending March Madness for the Mind (twice), attending an Advanced Invention to Venture workshop, and ending at the pinnacle: significant investment funding through Venture Well. "NCIIA hasn't just influenced this project, it's enabled it," said Bradley.

Interesting. Last year, we had a Dutch intern working with us who was upset that this debate had turned ugly. Upon asking why, she explained to me that Black Piet had a black face because of the soot in the chimneys, not because he himself was black.
You know, because Santa climbs down the chimneys and Balck Piet assists him. So that's a pretty innocent way to see it which she thought was obvious.

Moving Towards Common Ground
Police chiefs and community leaders from around the country met with their peers from leading National Network cities last week to explore the National Network's concept of "Racial Reconciliation and Police Legitimacy" in violence prevention. Supported and hosted by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) at the Department of Justice, the meeting was organized to highlight the National Network's ideas around openly addressing long-standing grievances and misconceptions between the most crime-stricken communities of color and the law enforcement agencies that serve them.
Directly engaging racialized conflict between such communities and police has been an integral part of the National Network's drug market intervention strategy (DMI) since it was first pioneered in a neighborhood of High Point, NC in 2001. Based on past experience in this and other DMI sites, the National Network has found that when these grievances are addressed openly, and new and different understandings emerge, a profound transformation in community-police relations is possible. Community norms against violence and crime clarify and strengthen as tensions with law enforcement ease, and those norms can carry much of the burden of crime prevention. As a result, the serious public problems of violent crime and mass incarceration can be addressed simultaneously.
It is the intent of the National Network to map this process onto the citywide implementation of its group violence reduction strategy (GVRS), with a number of its Leadership Group sites already taking first steps in this direction. In August last year, Chicago Superintendent Garry McCarthy, whose department started implementing GVRS in 2009, led the charge by speaking out publicly about the importance of addressing in particular African American history in the context of violence prevention. Since then a growing number of police chiefs and community leaders have expressed interest in exploring and addressing this crucial issue and welcomed the COPS Office's invitation to meet with National Network's practitioners seasoned in the work.
Following welcoming remarks by COPS Office Director Bernard Melekian, Superintendent McCarthy spoke to the group about his change in thinking around racial reconciliation and police legitimacy since starting to work with the National Network during his time as Police Director in Newark, NJ. National Network co-chair David Kennedy presented on the theory behind the racial reconciliation process, stressing that he is "not in possession of a new, independent analysis of race in America" but that the concepts under discussion had to be viewed through the very narrow lens of violence prevention in specific settings. In National Network sites that had made this process part of strategy implementation, communities and law enforcement had come to see that they misunderstand each other in very important ways; both have been contributing to harms neither desires; both want, in crucial areas, fundamentally the same things; and there is an immediate opportunity for partnership that can benefit everyone involved in very concrete ways.
Yale law professor Tracey Meares, a member of the National Network's Executive Board, expanded on Kennedy's presentation by laying out the current state of research on police legitimacy and explained why enhancing legitimacy can produce better, cheaper and longer-lasting crime reduction outcomes than the threat of formal sanctions. In the afternoon sessions, National Network partners, including law enforcement and community leaders from a range of cities, presented to the group how they operationalized the ideas of reconciliation and police legitimacy in their agencies and communities.
The second day of the conference was a closed session of the National Network's Leadership Group. Participants focused discussions on advancing the police legitimacy and racial reconciliation work in their respective communities. The National Network and its partners will continue developing this important element of strategy implementation in the months and years to come.

The technology has been in use in Europe for a few years, mainly on road materials. Boral is testing it for other product offerings, including clay tiles.The tiles will carry a price premium, an increase the company expects to come down with volume and time. Installation, performance, and weight are unchanged.In July, KB Home was the first to install the roofing, in its Alamosa community in Lancaster, Calif. Katy Tomasulo is Deputy Editor for EcoHome.

Despite a loss of funding from Washington Township, National Night Out still made its presence known on Tuesday, this time in the Target Department Store parking lot on Route 46.
Hosted by the national retail chain with support from the , , Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and Piggy's Deli from Mansfield, the event offered giveaways and fingerprinting for children.
This year's event–the first since 2009 because of budget restraints–was planned in just five weeks, according to Washington Township Police Lt. Art Adams.
"(Target Assets Protection Leader) Dave Dreher contacted me and asked if we were interested in partnering," Adams said. "It's a good event because it gets the word out to the community and brings public safety awareness."
The nationwide initiative is also a major sticking point for Target, according to Human Resources manager Billy Reeves.
"We want to show our commitment to the community," Reeves said. "We had 37 million participants last year nationwide, 10,000 of which were (Target) employees. It helps us to get to know our neighbors."
Target gives back 5-percent of its profits to each community annually, Reeves said, which amounts to approximately $3 million per week.
"If we could get this back to something bigger, that would be great," Adams said. "But at least this is a start."

Dwight Howard returned from injury and helped the Los Angeles Lakers end a six-game losing streak in a 113-93 beatdown of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night at the Staples Center.
Howard, who had missed the Lakers' previous three games with a shoulder injury, had 22 points and 14 rebounds on 9-of-11 shooting in the victory. Kobe Bryant led six Lakers in double figures with 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting. Antawn Jamison posted his second straight double-digit scoring game with 16 points off the bench. Los Angeles (16-21) shot a scorching 58.0 percent from the field and knocked down 13-of-25 from three-point range.
The Lakers dominated this one from the start, jumping out to a 37-20 lead after the first quarter. The Cavs (9-30) did trim the deficit to 12 by halftime and 10 early in the third quarter, but they would not get any closer the rest of the game.
Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters both scored 15 points in the loss for Cleveland. Alonzo Gee added 14 points and Tristan Thompson had 10. The Cavs shot 41.1 percent overall and just 19.0 percent from long range.

UCSD's Visual Arts Department to present works of the past 50 years
As part of the 50th anniversary of the founding of UCSD, the Division of Arts and Humanities will host an exhibit celebrating its Visual Arts Department from March 4 to June 6. "Cross-Disciplinary Productions," curated by Tatiana Sizonenko, a Ph.D. candidate in art history, will present a survey of works by faculty, alumni and MFA students.
The exhibition pre-view reception will include a lecture with artist/critic/theorist Allan Sekula (UCSD/MFA 1974) and historian/critic/curator Moira Roth (Professor at UCSD 1974-85) who will discuss the history of UCSD MFA program and their own work at 2 p.m. March 4 in the Visual Arts Facility performance space.
Following the talk, there will be an exhibition viewing with the curator at 4 p.m. in the Literature Building. The Visual Arts Department is at
9500 Gilman Dr. For directions to events, call (858) 534-2860.
VAD was founded on the principle that art production, art theory and criticism, and art history are inter-related practices that together constitute the culture of art. This exhibition investigates the various ways the department's distinctive commitment to the theoretical framework of art was put into practice and whether or not its philosophy constitutes a tradition in the contemporary world.
Participating artists include David Antin, David Avalos, Rebecca Baron, Doris Bittar, Harold Cohen, Joyce Cutler Shaw, Joelle Dietrick, Steve Fagin, Manny Farber, Katie Herzog, Louis Hock, Allan Kaprow, Christopher Kardambikis, Jeff Kelley, Hung Liu, Fred Lonidier, Simone Lueck, Kim MacConnel, Babette Magnolte, Owen Mundy, Ryuta Nakajama, Leslie Nemour, Mark Oliver, Sheryl Oring, Patricia Patterson, Jerome Rothenberg, Italo Scanga, Louis Schmidt, Ernest Silva, Brianna Rigg, Perry Vasquez, Yvonne Venegas, Andrew West, and Minori Yata.

Back to Insurance Home
Camps & Clinics Involving Minors
In accordance with the Camps & Clinics Involving Minors policy, coordinators of all athletic and non-athletic camps and clinics are required to purchase special risk insurance prior to the first day of the camp or clinic. The insurance can be obtained at affordable rates through the UT System Office of Risk Management.
In addition, each participant is required to submit a Release and Indemnification Agreement for Minor or Adult Participant and a Medical Release and Information form for Minor or Adult Participant. The completed forms should be filed and maintained by the camp coordinator for a minimum of one calendar year unless they are required by other campus offices. Persons employed with UT Dallas prior to the camp or clinic are not required to complete these forms if the activity is sponsored by UT Dallas.
Furthermore, camp coordinators should exercise good judgment when hiring persons who will work with minors. Criminal background checks are required for all persons working with minors — including students and volunteers. Complimentary checks are conducted by the UT Dallas Police Department for UTD-sponsored camps/clinics only.
Texas state law SB1414 requires that counselors, volunteers and directors of any camp or activity that involves minors for more than one day must complete child-protection training.
The University offers a Child Protection Training course in eLearning for University camp counselors and staff. There also is a training module for third-party camp counselors, staff and volunteers to review. After review, take the child-protection exam and compare your answers to the ones found on the answer key. Afterward, print out this certificate, which acknowledges completion of the review materials. Forward the printed certificate to the camp or clinic director, coordinator or organizer.
Who is covered?
All persons who are included in the camp or clinic's official participant head count (including students, paid staff and volunteers)
What is covered?
The maximum Medical Benefit pays for "eligible" medical expenses as a result of accidental injury, including related expenses incurred within a year of the date of the accident. "Eligible" expense means customary charges for the following necessary treatment and services: Medical and surgical care by a physician; radiology (X-Rays); prescription drugs and medicines; dental treatment of sound natural teeth; hospital care and service in semi-private accommodations, or as an outpatient; ambulance service from the scene of the accident; orthopedic appliances necessary to promote healing; physiotherapy.
*It is important to note that policy benefits are secondary to the primary coverage that is available for each participant.
How do I purchase the coverage?
For sponsored camps (UT Dallas department or employee - director or above - endorsement): See Camp Insurance Enrollment Instructions and fill out the appropriate form based on your camp:
For non-sponsored camps (no UT Dallas department or employee endorsement): See Tenant Users Liability Insurance Protection (TULIP). TULIP provides event liability insurance for non-UT Dallas organizations and groups.
Will the insurance cover overnight stays in the residential hall?
Yes. Visit Residential Camp and Conference Services website for additional information.
How will I receive the Certificate of Insurance?
The Certificate of Insurance will be sent directly from Southwest Special Risk Insurance (the broker for UT system) via email to the Camp or Clinic Coordinator(s) and any additional insureds, if applicable.
How do I file a claim?
Complete the Student/Visitor Incident Report Form and forward the completed form to the address indicated or email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note: Claims will only be submitted for activities that have obtained the required insurance.
For additional information or further questions, please contact Dr. James Wright at ext. 2381 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Eric Gordon, playing with a bruised or broken or sprained wrist on his off hand, was awful in the first half but seemed to become more comfortable as the game progressed. He finished with 16 points on 6-14 from the field.
- DJ White was great. White may well be positioning himself to beat out his teammate for Big Ten MVP. White scored 22 points on 13 shots, including 8-10 from the line, and grabbed 17 rebounds. He did turn the ball over four times.
- Can't Armon Bassett have an average game just once? Unfortunately, last night Bad Armon made an appearance: 1-7 from the field, 2 points. He did have two assists and no turnovers, at least.
- Jamarcus Ellis scored only 4 points on 2-6 from the field but managed 13 rebounds, including a tea, high 11 defensive rebounds. His one blocked shot, an out-of-nowhere breakup of a Wisconsin layup, will be a Sportscenter staple for a while.
- Lance Stemler. 1-6 from the field, 3 points. The reality was even uglier than the stat line. Stemler had some open looks. He not only missed those shots, but on about three of the misses looked about as graceful as a senior citizen pulled out of the crowd for a halfcourt shot promotion.
IU will be back on track with a home win against Northwestern on Sunday, but it's fair to be concerned about this team. Perhaps, given the amount of new blood on this team and a second-year coach, expectations were too high. As I said, losing at Wisconsin is no sin, but we will have to play much better to handle tough-but-winnable road games against Illinois and Ohio State. This season isn't over, and IU can weather a loss on the road against a top program. But this team hasn't shown much growth in recent weeks, and that needs to change before we go to the other Assembly Hall next Thursday.
