Officer David Rigney touched many lives
By Shaun Tilghman
News Editor – North Manchester News-Journal
Just over a week has passed since the accident that claimed the life of North Manchester Police Officer David Rigney, and in the wake of tragedy, communities across Wabash County have joined together not only in mourning the loss, but also in celebrating his life.
The 39-year-old LaFontaine native was off-duty when the crash occurred last Monday afternoon. Rigney was heading south on State Road 15 when his SUV fishtailed and crossed into the northbound lane, where it was struck by a school bus, before returning to the southbound lane and being struck by another vehicle – he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt. Brian Enyeart, a veteran of the North Manchester Police Department, said the loss was devastating on many different levels.
"People outside of law enforcement don't understand the bond that law enforcement officers have – it's more than just as coworkers or even friends, we truly are 'brothers in blue'," Enyeart said. "There is a lot of stuff that is easier to talk about with other officers than with other people, because they just don't understand. With Dave, you always knew if you needed anything you could call him and he would be there to help you out."

Not only did the Wabash Lady Apache basketball team open their 2014-15 season with an impressive 60-44 win over Mississinewa Friday; they got to be part of history as senior Claire Cromer went off for 42 points to set the Wabash single game scoring record.
The Lady Apaches dominated right from the start, jumping out to an 11-0 lead and leading 14-4 after the end of the quarter. Claire Cromer had all 14 points for Wabash.
Mississinewa would cut the Wabash lead to 16-10 early in the second quarter before Shelby Stone buried two shots from behind the arch to build the lead to 22-10. The Indians again cut the lead to single digits before Cromer drained back-to-back three's, then hit four straight free throws to increase the lead to 31-18. At 31-22 Cromer would hit a shot before the buzzer as Wabash led 33-22 at the half.
Kristin Cromer and Sarah Puckett would get in on the scoring action in the third while Claire Cromer kept rolling as the Lady Apaches built their lead to 45-25 before leading 45-26 after three.
Claire Cromer would hit a three to get the Wabash scoring going in the fourth as sister Kristin hit two free throws as Wabash rolled to a 60-44 win.
Claire Cromer led the way with 42 points. Shelby Stone and Kristin Cromer added 6 points each, Sarah Puckett 4, Katie McCauley 2.

Periodically, I have the privilege to witness heartwarming and amazing things that happen in the course of my daily activities in youth sports at the Wabash County YMCA. This week, I watched as a young man took a huge step forward on a long road back to regaining his health.
Jace Randel's parents, Jason and Amanda, registered him to play 4th & 5th grade tackle football in August. Jace expected to play with a number of his classmates on the Cowboys team this fall while learning some life lessons along the way. He had no idea the roller coaster ride he had in front of him.
"On Aug. 20 (ironically, the same day as the first football practice) Jace began not feeling well. I took him in to his pediatrician after a few days of stomach pain. He ordered blood work, just to be sure it wasn't an appendicitis. The blood work came back abnormal," explained Amanda.
After consulting with their pediatrician, the Randels prepared for a trip to Riley Hospital.
"The Pediatrician explained to us that Jace's blood work had come back abnormal, and after consulting with a few Riley Oncologists, they thought Jace had leukemia." Amanda continued, "We were being sent to Riley to run more blood work and prepare him for a bone marrow biopsy." Jason & Amanda told their son what this meant; Jace was crushed.
"I told him that we were NOT putting our faith and trust into one test. We would be putting our faith in God who, we KNEW, could do anything!!" She explained, "What a calming affect that can have on a person, to know WHO is in control and WHO is all powerful,"
The blood work at Riley came back inconclusive. Jace received a platelets transfusion in order to perform the biopsy to prevent excessive bleeding. He had an allergic reaction to the platelet transfusion. Instantly, he began to break out in hives and his throat started swelling. After giving him large doses of Benadryl, he was finally able to sleep. The biopsy came back negative. Several other tests were run, for conditions such as; mono, autoimmune markers, and vitamin deficiencies, and all came back normal. Normal was a relative term. Jace wasn't getting any worse, but was also wasn't getting any better either.

The Southwood VolleyKnights had one last game scheduled for the year Saturday and it was the state championship. The Lady Knights had won nine straight games to win the sectional, then defeated Clinton Central 3-0 for the regional title. Last Saturday Southwood won the very tough Bremen semi state by topping Adams Central 3-1 and Hammond Bishop Noll 3-2 for the semi state title. Saturday at Ball State the VolleyKnights had the task of taking on defending state champion Providence for the state title.
Southwood, the 2A public school state champion hung tough, but the power hitting of Providence ended up being too much as the VolleyKnights fell 17-25, 14-25, 18-25.
Providence got off to a 10-3 start in game one before the Knights shook off the championship jitters and started to go to work. Emilie Harnish would get a kill and Bailey Lundmark a block during a 5-0 run to close the gap to 10-8. Providence would then score 10 of the next 14 points to open a 24-15 lead before two Sami White tips kept the game alive, but one last Pioneer kill ended game one 17-25.
Southwood jumped out to a 4-0 lead to start game two with Sami White serving. Kaitlyn Murphy had a kill with White scoring on an ace and a tip. Bailey Hobbs would get a kill as the Knights extended their lead to 8-3 before the Pioneer's got hot. Providence would score 6 of the next 7 points to tie the game at 9 before a White tip and an Emilie Harnish ace made it 11-9. With Southwood up 12-10 the sleeping giant awoke as Providence went on a 10-1 run to grab a 20-13 lead on their way to the 25-14 final.

On Jan. 1, 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was an extension of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, commonly known as the "farm bill." This extension allowed the government to avoid the fiscal cliff, but it expired Sept. 30, 2013. While attempting to pass the next farm bill, the House and the Senate had disagreements over components of their proposed bills. This is the source of the current dispute and the reason a new farm bill has yet to be passed.
The farm bill is a piece of omnibus legislation, which means that it contains multiple components but is passed as a single bill. Farm bills last for five years, after which they expire. Nutrition programs, like SNAP, make up approximately 70 percent of the farm bill. Crop insurance, commodities and conservation make up the other 30 percent of the bill.
The House proposed a new farm bill, known as the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, which reduced funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by approximately $40 billon, according to Frank Lucas, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture. SNAP is commonly referred to as the food stamp program. The Senate proposed their own version of the bill, in which they want to reduce SNAP funding by roughly $4 billion.
As of December, Indiana was 28th in participation percentage and 17th in total number of participants nationwide. As of Dec. 6, 14.1 percent of Hoosiers participated in SNAP, according to the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. Total annual cost of the food stamp program is $71.8 billion, with approximately 47.6 million Americans using the program, which is 15.4 percent of the United States' population.
According to Ag Web's John Block, there are sections of the bill that do not receive as much attention as nutrition but could prove to be just as important, like trade.
"When we plant our crops, we can count on seeing one-third of that production going to some other country," reported Block. The farm bill also may be able to deal with the trade barrier California has set, which keeps California from importing eggs from farms that don't meet their hen housing requirements.
In an article written by Madison Hepburn of Indiana Public Media, Indiana Farm Bureau National Policy Advisor Kyle Cline was optimistic about the progress being made.
"Having a farm bill is crucial now and we're positive, we're feeling good about where we are and where we need to be and hopefully we'll have that finished in January," Cline told Indiana Public Media.
Modern farm bills are descendants of the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933. The Adjustment Act was created in an attempt to curb farm poverty. In the 1930s, farmers were paid to leave certain land unused in an effort to allow soil to recover after farmers planted too many crops to make up for the dramatically low prices of their produce, which caused the soil to become extremely eroded. After the Adjustment Act of 1933, the government started purchasing surplus crops during high-quality crop years and selling the crops during poor production years to keep crop prices more stable.
Over the years, the farm bill has changed. Most of the components of the farm bills are still intended to supplement farmers' income, but farmers are no longer paid to keep land unused. Congress has made multiple changes to the bill over the years. It is expected that when a new farm bill is written, the direct payments farmers have been receiving for years, averaging close to $5 billion a year, will no longer be part of the legislation.

In North America, the Children's Oncology Group (COG) investigated a risk-based neuroblastoma treatment plan that assigned all patients to a low-, intermediate-, or high-risk group based on age, International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) stage, and tumor biology (i.e., MYCN gene amplification, International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification [INPC] system, and DNA ploidy). The intermediate-risk group received limited chemotherapy, additional surgery in some instances, and avoided radiation therapy. This study involved an overall reduction in treatment compared to prior treatment plans. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 88% and 96%, respectively. There was no unexpected toxicity.[1] These studies (COG-P9641 and COG-A3961) have established a new standard of care for children in North America with neuroblastoma. (Risk groups are defined in Table 1 in the Stage Information section of this summary.)
Chemotherapy is given for four to eight cycles (12 to 24 weeks) and consists of moderate doses of carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and etoposide. The cumulative dose of each agent is kept low to minimize permanent injury from the chemotherapy regimen. Radiation therapy is reserved for patients with symptomatic life-threatening or organ-threatening tumor that does not respond rapidly enough to chemotherapy and/or surgery.
There is considerable variation in outcome, and, therefore, in treatment for children with stage 3 disease (tumor involving both sides of the midline by virtue of either invasion into normal tissues or lymph node metastasis). Infants aged 1 year and younger have a greater than 80% cure rate while older children have a cure rate of 50% to 70% with current, relatively intensive therapy.[2,3,4,5] In one study, those with favorable compared with unfavorable biological features (i.e., INPC and MYCN gene amplification) had EFS rates of almost 100% and about 50%, respectively.[6,7,8] In cases of abdominal neuroblastoma thought to involve the kidney, nephrectomy should not be undertaken before a trial of chemotherapy has been given.[9]
Whether initial chemotherapy is indicated for all intermediate-risk infants with localized neuroblastoma is controversial. A German prospective clinical trial enrolled 340 infants aged 1 year or younger whose tumors were stage 1, 2, or 3, histologically verified, and lacked amplification of MYCN. Chemotherapy was given at diagnosis to 57 infants with organs threatened by tumor. The tumor was completely resected or nearly so in 190 infants who underwent low-risk surgery. A total of 93 infants whose tumors were not resectable without high-risk surgery due to age or organ involvement were observed without chemotherapy. Further surgery was avoided in 33 infants and chemotherapy was avoided in 72 infants. Some degree of spontaneous tumor regression occurred in nearly half the infants. Overall survival of the 93 infants was 99%.[10]

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Jordan Fulton redirected a shot past goaltender Shane Connelly one minute into overtime, giving No. 12 Minnesota-Duluth a 2-1 victory over No. 11 Wisconsin tonight.
Defenseman Travis Gawryletz fired a shot from the right point that Fulton tipped just inside the right post to give the Bulldogs their first victory in Madison since March 6, 2004.
Alex Stalock made 31 saves for Minnesota-Duluth (11-9-6, 7-8-5 WCHA). The team regained a tie for fourth place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with the Badgers (12-11-5, 8-9-3).
Andrew Carroll scored a first-period goal for the Bulldogs, and Wisconsin's Matthew Ford scored in the second period.
Shane Connelly made 21 saves for the Badgers, who saw a season-high six-game unbeaten streak end.

Visitor, 2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 45,000 mi
My 2008 ram 1500 rear window has been leaking for a year and a half. dodge is on their 10th attempt. 5 new windows have been placed in. it seems that whoever made the slider window didn't know how to make a quality window.
CheesyID, 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 31,000 miTechnician
On my 2004, significant amounts of water would come in after a hard rain and collect under the rear seat. I traced it to the third brake light, instead of the rear window. I removed the third brake light, applied clear silicone caulk, and reinstalled. It stopped the leak completely. I know I may have a hard time removing the lens again if the bulb goes out, but I figured stopping the water was more important.
Visitor, 2008 Dodge Ram 1500
Any time it rains or I wash my truck water comes in the very back window around the middle
Visitor, 2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 23,000 mi
Back window leaking again. Complete window replacement 2 yrs ago and now leaking again. Dodge refuses to admit that there is a serious design flaw. My next truck either won't have a sliding glass back window section or won't be a Dodge.

Kicker signs with Statesmen
Date: March 13, 2013
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Sean Kirshe never envisioned playing football.
A lifelong soccer player, The Out-of-Door Academy senior was content focusing all of his attention on his favorite sport.
But when ODA football coach Brett Timmons saw Kirshe kicking around a soccer ball two years ago, everything changed. Timmons asked Kirshe to attempt a few field goals. From that moment, Kirshe had a new pair of shoes to fill.
"I made all of them, and he said, 'Congrats, you're the new place kicker for ODA,'" Kirshe says.
During his senior season, Kirshe made six field goals, including one from 50 yards out, and 22 of 26 extra point attempts. He also had 10 touchbacks.
Now with his final high school football and soccer seasons behind him, Kirshe will spend the next few months preparing to play at the next level.
Kirshe recently signed a national letter of intent to play football for Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y.
"It feels fantastic to know that I'm going to a great college and playing football," says Kirshe, who plans to study economics and international business. "I'm looking forward to playing college football, as well as getting a great education to set up my future."
Kirshe also looked at the University of Colorado Boulder; the University of St. Thomas; Auburn; The Citadel; the University of Mount Union; and High Point University. Ultimately, he chose Hobart College for its campus, football program and facilities and internship opportunities.
Kirshe will now focus on perfecting his punting and field-goal accuracy in preparation for playing for the Statesmen in the Liberty League.

You want to go in to directory utility and make the account an mobile account. see screenshot below
Screen Shot 2012-04-12 at 10.53.17.png
Is there any good reliable software (preferably free) that can sync data between a Mac Book and Windows 2008 (both ways)?
The head teacher has got a Mac Book and wants to be able to sync her user folder on the Windows server with her Mac Book so she can work on docs away from School. I have tried using Synkron which kind of works (sometimes) but is a bit unreliable and she is ending up with different versions of data on the Mac and Server.
Has anyone implemented anything that works for this situation? I dont want to (cant) go down the cloud route so it has to be something that can sync with our current server.
You want to go in to directory utility and make the account an mobile account. see screenshot below
Screen Shot 2012-04-12 at 10.53.17.png
Thanks for the reply, what exactly will that do?
if you join the mac to the windows active directory domain and make her account a mobile account, it will sync all of her home folder from the windows server to the mac local HD, and then it will regularly sync back to the server as she works on the mac. It also means she can work on files in her home folder away from school and when she comes back in they will sync to the windows servers.

Royal Mail shares dive as profits fall by a fifth
Online retailing, click and collect delivery and mobile apps to blame for Royal Mail's slide in profits, analysts say
Royal Mail shares fell by almost six per cent when trading began this morning after the company announced a 21 per cent fall in half-year profits.
Competition from online sellers offering same-day delivery and other courier services continues to put pressure on the recently privatised mail service.
Royal Mail bosses said they had halved the company's expected growth rate for UK package deliveries to just one or two per cent after a push from e-retailers such as Amazon to offer parcel delivery options of their own.
Pension costs also contributed to the £279 million fall in operating costs, Sky News reports.
Overall letter volume fell by three per cent, but profits from letter delivery increased by one per cent due to increased stamp charges.
In spite of the fall in profits, chief executive Moya Greene said: "I am pleased with our overall performance. We have delivered two per cent revenue growth together with margin expansion, in line with our expectations."
She added that Royal Mail was would work with e-retailers "to be more flexible" and that Royal Mail may accept different types of parcels it had previously declined to deliver.
Greene said that the postal service would introduce later acceptance times and weekend collection to help retailers to deliver goods more quickly.
Michael Hewson of CMC Markets told The Guardian that deliveries are becoming an increasingly difficult market: "The explosion in on-line retailing, click and collect delivery and the use of mobile apps this year is likely to see fierce competition between logistics providers with UK Mail, UPS and Fedex likely to provide plenty of competition, while the recent tie-up between Amazon and Connect Group to provide a 24-hour service for parcel delivery to selected local locations, like underground stations, newsagents and shopping centres, could make a significant dent in Royal Mail's revenue, particularly since Amazon is Royal Mail's largest parcel customer."
Royal Mail shares fell from 477p to 449.45p in the first hour of trading, before recovering slightly to 455.5p by 9.30am.
When the company was privatised just over a year ago shares were sold at 330p each. They peaked at 604.5p in January this year.
Royal Mail shares plummet after parcel revenue warning
22 July
Royal Mail shares have plummeted to their lowest level since the company was privatised in October, following warnings that the parcels revenue for the year would be lower than expected.
The company warned that price changes and competition from its rivals have hit its parcels business, with revenue down one per cent in the three months to 29 June compared to the same period in 2013.
The company said it was still likely to meet expectations for its overall annual performance, with revenues for the overall group climbing two per cent in the last quarter.
Nevertheless, stock dropped by as much as four per cent to 445.1p this morning – its lowest price since Royal Mail was floated in October. Shares were initially sold at 330p but immediately surged to 450p at the start of trading.
The sharp rise was, at the time, dismissed as "froth and speculation" by Business Secretary Vince Cable. He has since accepted demands by the National Audit Office for a review into the government's listing process.
The stock has been steadily declining since a peak of more than 600p in February.
Royal Mail said it had also been hit by the impact of Amazon's move to scrap free delivery on orders below £10 – although the company said it is "fighting back" with measures such as a new Sunday delivery service for online shoppers.
"It appears that the honeymoon period is over for Royal Mail as the realities of its competitive environment intensify," Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, tells The Guardian.
The Daily Telegraph says small investors "are still in the money after the controversial float, but their potential profits are slowly being whittled away".
A report from the Government's Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee, published earlier this month, found that taxpayers may have lost out on about £1bn from the undervaluing of Royal Mail.
Royal Mail profits up 12% but competition to get tougher
22 May
Royal Mail's annual operating profits have jumped by 12 per cent to £671m, from £598m a year ago. The company, which was listed in a historic privatisation last October, announced its first full-year set of results today since floating on the stock market.
Sales rose two per cent in the year, from £9.15bn to £9.46bn. And the company's parcel deliveries service overtook its letters business to become the biggest contributor to revenue for the first time, with parcel revenues rising by seven per cent.
It was revealed this week that Royal Mail will trial a Sunday delivery service for parcels to addresses within the M25 motorway. It also plans to open around 100 offices on a Sunday afternoon to allow customers to pick up their parcels.
However, the BBC's John Moylan points out that rival firms, including Hermes and DPD, have already announced plans to deliver on Sundays and that some have been undercutting Royal Mail.
Chief executive Moya Greene acknowledged this concern today and said the company was taking steps to ensure it keeps up with rivals.
Another concern is that Royal Mail is legally obliged to deliver letters anywhere in the country, says City AM. "The worry is that smaller, private companies will take the more convenient and popular routes, leaving it with the harder to reach places – the Shetland Islands, for example," says the newspaper.
It has been a turbulent 12 months, in which government ended its 350 years of state ownership. The Daily Telegraph warned earlier this month that a jump in profits could reignite the row over the valuation the government received for its stake in the organisation. Traders said that profits of as much as 12 per cent would confirm the Royal Mail's market value at around 70 per cent more than the government's sale price. ·

Defuse a Bomb With Friends in This Brilliant Oculus Game
- Monday September 1, 2014
You've always wanted to defuse a bomb in real life. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes gives you that chance.
You've always wanted to defuse a bomb in real life. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes gives you that chance.
Was this the one? Was this the Oculus Rift demo where I was going to rip the whole thing off of my head and bolt out of the room?
Lucky's Tale is a type of game you'd never think would be perfect for Oculus — a third-person platforming game.
Kickstarter will never let you make money on the companies you fund. Here's why the company is saying no to the equity crowdfunding boom.
Karen Gillan is about to have a big year. Previously known for her work on Doctor Who, she'll be a name everyone knows after Oculus and Guardians of the Galaxy hit theaters in 2015.
1993 wasn't just a great year for music—it was a great year for insane technophobic episodes of CBS murder mysteries.
Many Oculus Rift fans have reacted badly to the news of Facebook's acquisition, and of course they've reacted with GIFs.
Having tried both Sony's new Project Morpheus virtual reality prototype for PlayStation 4 and the latest development kit from Oculus, I have to give the slight edge to the young upstarts.
One of the giants of the gaming industry is getting into the virtual reality game. But upstart Oculus isn't taking Sony's salvo lying down.
Here are some of the coolest innovators, gamers, and online personalities we hung out with during SXSW Interactive.

Only In Brazil
The eyes of the world will be on Brazil in 2014 for the biggest soccer game on the planet, and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Of course, Brazilians are perfectly comfortable with that kind of attention. They have, after all, been receiving it for centuries. With legendary beaches from Copacabana to Natal, and the equally legendary biodiversity of the Amazon River and rainforest, Brazil offers a massive experience that is as lush, fluid and seductive as the samba itself.

Northwestern St.-Oklahoma Preview
(AP) -- The sting from Oklahoma's first loss won't last long for its players, but the lessons learned and experience gained could prove valuable for some time.
Eager to move forward, the No. 18 Sooners look to get back on track Sunday against visiting Northwestern State.
Coach Lon Kruger obviously wasn't pleased that Oklahoma (1-1) blew an 18-point second-half lead in Wednesday's 65-63 loss at Creighton, but he believes there's plenty to gain from facing adversity against a tough opponent in a raucous, sold-out arena.

How to Select the Right Hospital
If you should need to go to a hospital for care, you and your doctor should discuss which hospital provides the best care for your medical needs. Some hospitals may be better equipped and have expertise in performing certain procedures.
To evaluate a hospital, you'll want to check the hospital's experience in treating people with your condition, the quality rating they received for any procedures you need, and their record for keeping patients safe. Discuss your hospital options with your doctor to get the best possible care available.

UN confirms top us Middle East diplomat to take UN post
The United Nations confirmed on Monday that Jeffrey Feltman, until recently the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, will soon take up a senior post at the United Nations.
June 12, 2012 11:11 by Reuters
The United Nations confirmed on Monday that Jeffrey Feltman, until recently the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, will soon take up a senior post at the United Nations.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Feltman would replace American Lynn Pascoe as U.N. under-secretary-general for political affairs, a key position at the world body. He will be the highest-ranking U.S. official in the U.N. secretariat.
Feltman "brings to the position over 26 years of political and diplomatic experience within the United States Foreign Service, mostly handling Eastern European and Middle Eastern affairs," the U.N. press office said in a statement.
In his new position, Feltman will help to formulate U.N. policy in negotiations on the Middle East peace process and other conflicts and to oversee U.N. mediation efforts. Feltman is expected to take up the post this summer.
The U.S. State Department said last month that Feltman would retire from the U.S. government.
Feltman has extensive experience in the Middle East, having served as U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority's office in Iraq's Irbil province and as a senior official at the U.S. consulate general in Jerusalem.
Earlier in his career, Feltman – who speaks French, Arabic and Hungarian – worked at the U.S. embassies in Israel, Tunisia, Hungary and Haiti.
As assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, a position he assumed on an acting basis in December 2008, Feltman has covered one of the most strategically important areas of the world during a particularly volatile period.
His tenure included the "Arab Spring" of uprisings that brought down authoritarian rulers in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya as well as the conflict in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad has sought to crush rebels trying to topple him.
Despite having made Israeli-Palestinian peace a priority, U.S. President Barack Obama has little to show for his efforts more than three years into his term. Direct responsibility for this issue rested first with former special envoy George Mitchell and since with his successor, David Hale.

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, April 13 (HealthDay News) -- Non-accidental head trauma (NAHT) in infants appears to be more common during periods of recession as compared with non-recession time periods, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, held April 9 to 13 in Denver.
Mary I. Huang, of the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, and colleagues evaluated a trauma database at their institution for NAHT incidents in infants aged 0 to 2 years during a period of non-recession (December 2001 to November 2007) and during a period of recession (December 2007 to June 2010). Of the 639 infants admitted for traumatic injuries, 93 were NAHT cases.
The investigators found that NAHT incidence increased from 50 cases per 72 months during the period of non-recession to 43 cases per 31 months during a recession period (0.69 versus 1.39 per month). Compared to the non-recession period, the proportion of months in which at least one infant was admitted for NAHT was greater during the recession period (68 versus 44 percent). In addition, compared to infants admitted during the non-recession period, there was a trend for infants admitted for evaluation of NAHT during the recession period to have more severe head injuries (P = 0.06).
"Financial stresses such as unemployment, foreclosure, and difficulties finding adequate child care are likely exacerbated during a recession. We found an increase in the number of infants who were evaluated for abusive head trauma at our institution during the recent recession, compared to the prior non-recession period. The complex social issues that led to this trauma are beyond the scope of our research, but certainly warrant further study," Huang said in a statement.

Britney Spears Lawyering Up Against Sam Lutfiby Free Britney at . Comments
Not literally, unfortunately. That would have been a great component of the economic stimulus plan. Our girl sure is shelling out the big bucks, though.
The lawyers in Britney Spears' conservatorship case went to court yesterday to ask the judge that they be allowed to hire more lawyers to defend Britney.
A Spears spokesperson claims the singer needs a minimum of two civil lawyers to defend her in Sam Lutfi's defamation suit against Britney and her family.
Two lawyers will cost a grand total of $935 an hour. Yeah. Celebrity gossip is like totally awesome, but we definitely went into the wrong profession.
Battling financial problems and having been cut off from his former meal ticket, the blood-sucking vermin known as Sam Lutfi is now suing her.
The judge has greened light to the conservatorship's request, so the Bank of Britney Spears is fully open for business and expected to keep the legal profession afloat.
On an unrelated note, how much do you hate Sam Lutfi?
Yes, that sleazy, twisted piece of sh*t is the reason poor Britney had a melt down! I suggest you read Lynne Spears book, you'll then realise exactly what that f**ker put her and her family through! He truly is a satanic bast*rd!
Didn't that sleazy character almost drive Britney to suicide?
He seems like pure evil.

The color and detail that went in to making this sink look painstaking. There is so much detail and so many different shades, it is really a beautiful looking sink.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a… (2006)

Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I resisted this book for a long time despite the appeal of its topic, largely because of its popularity as a book club book. And we all know I'm a snob like that, despite my claiming of the bookslut title. Anyway, when Tava sent me a copy, it erased most of my excuses not to read it.
I'm very glad I finally did read it. The author, through a chance encounter, develops a relationship with the people of a small, remote village in Pakistan, and pledges to build them a school. This, despite his limited income, working only enough as a nurse to finance his many mountain-climbing expeditions, incredibly limited contacts, and complete lack of fundraising experience. Still, he somehow succeeds, and goes on to build dozens of schools, despite the opposition of corrupt local organizers and mullahs, a kidnapping at gunpoint, wars and rapidly changing political climates. What he accomplishes is truly amazing, though it makes the rise of violent Islamic factions toward the end of the book all the more depressing.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to better understand what's going on in the region, and to anyone who believes in the power of education.
interesting travel story. hope those parts were true!
A fascinating story but not as well told as it deserves. The style is like a Sunday supplement article and it really deserves a more sensitive treatment. It seems to paint Greg Mortensen more as a cardboard hero at times. Still, a very inspiring and good read.
(post revelations notes: I'd like to say I saw all along that it was a fake but I didn't. I had a few moments when I wondered about the story but I basically swallowed it; hook, line, and sinker.)
An humanitarian adventure story. Inspiring in the sense that you will wonder what you've been doing with your life while Greg Mortenson has been out climbing mountains and building schools, especially schools for girls, in the Karakoram Mountain villages of Pakistan (Baltistan) and across the border in Afghanistan.
I finished Three Cups of Tea, which I enjoyed tremendously, I think for two primary reasons. First, it takes place in a part of the world that fascinates me; second, it's about a person of ordinary means who ends up doing quite extraordinary things.
I loved that Mortenson flailed about at first. I loved that he made mistakes, but kept on trying. It means that **I** can flail about and make mistakes. I can go about something in all the wrong way, discover my error, and try again.
What impressed me most about him was his determination not only to keep his first promise, to the people in that first village, but to other people he happens to meet. The indefatigableness with which he tackles keeping his word wins him amazing respect. And he himself treats everyone he meets with sincere respect.
For instance, there's the time he goes to give a fundraising talk at a giant sporting goods store. He's been interviewed on the local college radio station and put up flyers, but when the time comes to do his talk, no one is there. Two off-duty employees sit down to listen, and he manages to get a guy who's browsing all-weather watches to sit down and listen, too, by meeting the guy's eyes and smiling. After the talk, when he's picking up all the pamphlets he'd left on the chairs, the two employees—young guys—come up to him. One offers him the ten-dollar bill that he'd been saving for weekend drinking, and Mortenson thanks him with sincere gratitude. The other guy asks if there's any way he could go over and volunteer his labor, and Mortenson has to tell him that his organization doesn't have the money to send him over, but he tells him about other organizations that could use him. So even in defeat, he's gracious and generous—which makes it all the more like divine reward when, on the chair where the man shopping for watches had been sitting, he finds a check for $20,000, made out to his organization.
Or there's the time he has offered to help a reporter get a story on the Kashmir conflict, and the reporter happens to be present when the first female graduate of Mortenson's first school walks into a meeting of village men at which Mortenson is present and reminds him, in front of all of them, that he's promised to help her fund the rest of her education. She wants to be a doctor. When the reporter sees that, he decides to do his story on Mortenson and his mission instead of the Kashmir conflict, and it runs in Parade magazine. The story generates so much mail for Mortenson and his organization that his local post office in Montana puts it in canvas sacks for him to take home. Mortenson reports that only one letter out of all that mail was negative.
There's a sequel out, Stones into Schools. I'd like to read that at some point, too. And, for those who are interested, here is a link to Mortenson's organization, the Central Asia Institute.
This is a wonderful book that gives the reader an unprecedented and very personal insight into a people that I had no knowledge of before reading it.
Captivating and suspenseful, with engrossing accounts of both hostilities and unlikely friendships, this book will win many readers' hearts.
"Answering by delivering what his country will not, Mortenson is "fighting the war on terror the way I think it should be conducted," Relin writes. This inspiring, adventure-filled book makes that case admirably."
"The story of how this happened is a cliffhanger as well as an first-hand introduction to the people and places of a region little understood by most Americans. The subtitle, "One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations . . . One School at a Time," underscores the motivation behind his work."

In regards to the 60 Minutes episode that aired April 17, 2011: "Greg Mortenson's work as a humanitarian in Afghanistan and Pakistan has provided tens of thousands of children with an education. 60 Minutes is a serious news organization and in the wake of their report, Viking plans to carefully review the materials with the author."
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:47:50 -0400)
One man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-American reaches of Asia: in 1993 Greg Mortenson was an American mountain-climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan's Karakoram. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of a Pakistani village, he promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time--Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. In a region where Americans are often feared and hated, he has survived kidnapping, death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself--at last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools.--From publisher description.… (more)

|A Hidden RNA Galaxy and What Lies Ahead
|Julia Salzman
Acting Assistant Professor, Biochemistry, Stanford
It is well known that the vast majority of human genes encode alternatively spliced linear RNA molecules called RNA isoforms. Discovery of new sequences variation in expressed RNAs is an area of ongoing bioinformatics and applied statistical research, with thousands of studies published with the goal of identifying novel RNA isoforms, that is, expressed RNA sequence variants.
Using basic statistical methods, we recently discovered a large class of RNA molecules that were missed in these studies: circular RNA. I will discuss how we made this finding as well as statistical algorithms and applied analysis that we have subsequently developed. These tools are motivated by our ongoing study circular RNA, but have general application to discovery and quantification of RNA isoforms. Time permitting, I will outline some of the many unanswered questions raised by our finding that circular RNA is a ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic gene expression.

Just got better, they called us "diplomatic dwarfs" for asking for a cease-fire AND said that the "war" is not disproportionate and that "war" is not football and we should consider that 7x1 was REAL disproportionate.

But seriously, I never liked them, but after we, allies, tried to talk and negotiate and they said that. Well, **** 'em.
