FORT MYERS, Fla. (Oct. 4, 2013) – Surpassing its goal of 720 runners, the Fort Myers Police Department recorded a total of 841 registered runners, including 43 children younger than 12, who took part in this year's Cops & Joggers 5K held on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Centennial Park.
Benefitting fallen police officers and firefighters, this year's event was held during the evening hours with the glow of first responders' lights lining the race path. Beginning at 7:45 p.m., the 3.1-mile run began and ended at Centennial Park, crossing the Edison Bridge southbound. Since its conception, the Cops & Joggers 5K has attracted an average of 386 runners, making this year's participation the largest turnout to date.
"Since our first race on Oct. 25, 2008 to this year's race on Sept. 28, 720 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty. It was an honor to have each runner represent a fallen comrade as they participated in this 5K," said Lieutenant Jeffrey Bernice of the FMPD "Our gratitude goes out to the sponsors, runners, walkers, volunteers and every person who made this event a success. We will never forget the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice."
Featuring DJ Nestor Barreiro, the event included bounce houses, face painting, obstacle courses and food vendors including Bajio Mexican Grill, Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders, Kona Ice, McCarter's BBQ, Uncle Roy's Kettle Corn and Fro Yo Frozen Yogurt.
Sponsors for the event included Allied Portables, Alligator Towing & Recovery, AmeriGas, Black Cat Embroidery, Bajio Mexican Grill, Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders, Calusa Nature Center, Colonial Country Club, CrossFit 239, DJ Nestor Barreiro, Fleamasters Fleamarket, FMPD Chief Doug Baker, FMPD's SWAT, Fowler Firearms & Gun Range LLC, Fox 92.5, Frank B. Jean LMT, Hodges University, JetBlue Airways, Keiser University, Military Closet, Pain Management Consultants of Southwest Florida, Quality Custom Window Tinting, Run Florida on McGregor, Scanlon Lexus, Sprint, Suncoast Beverage, Survival Armor, UPS and more.
The Fort Myers Cops & Joggers 5K was first established in 2008 to assist the family of Officer Andrew Widman who was shot and killed in the line of duty on July 18, 2008. Proceeds from this year's event benefit fallen officer Sergeant Mike Wilson's family, the FMPD Fallen Officers Memorial Fund and The Brotherhood Ride, both organizations aid the families of fallen police officers and firefighters who have been injured or killed in the line of duty.
For more information about the event, contact Lieutenant Jeffrey Bernice at email@example.com or 239-321-7698.

Airfare Prices Soar
Rising fuel costs led to higher airfare and lower ridership for newcomer American Eagle Airline at Gainesville's Regional Airport.
Bringing a third airline has been a twenty year effort that was realized last October and it's increased the number of people flying through GNV.
Bt six months later after they came to Gainesville, American Eagle's ridership has struggled to get off the ground.
This summer American Eagle will scale back and offer just one flight a day on a fifty seat jet instead of their current two flights a day on 65 seat planes.
It's a move more airlines might have to consider if fuel prices continue to rise.
Triple a says the airline industry is far less volatile.
They expect prices to hover around the same price into summer, even as drivers continue to pay more at the pump to fill their tanks.

Sorority sisters who support paddling are behind the times
By Abigail Van Buren January 12, 2012 7:06PM
Updated: February 14, 2012 10:27AM
Dear Abby: I have been accepted to a school that's the alma mater of several of my relatives. My mother, several aunts and other family members all belonged to one sorority at this college. They are urging me to pledge there and uphold the family tradition.
They say they had some of the best times of their lives as members of that sorority chapter. The members do well academically, as the sorority insists on it. They made lifelong friends, and their sorority contacts have been extremely helpful personally and professionally.
So what's the problem? This sorority chapter still uses the paddle. Technically they don't haze — that is, have any initiation stunts — but they do use the paddle for disciplinary purposes. When I mention my concerns about the paddling to my mother and aunts, they say I should suck it up, as the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. One of my aunts said she thinks the rules and discipline would be beneficial for me because she considers me kind of a "wild child."
I'm asking for an objective opinion from someone not directly involved.
Possibly Paddled Pledge
Dear P.P.P.: I joined a sorority in college, and I NEVER heard of a sorority hitting pledges or active members. Some fraternities may have allowed it, but certainly not sororities.
Whether your aunt thinks you could use the discipline is beside the point. Striking someone with a paddle is assault with a weapon. A young man died a short time ago in Florida because of the kind of hazing this national organization is winking at. Are young women who behave that way really the kind of people you would like to be lifelong friends? If not, then pass on that sorority!
Dear Abby: My son is chronologically 12 and the size of an adult, but emotionally he is age 5. He's a moderately functioning child with autism, ADHD and behavioral issues.
PLEASE let people know that just because they can't see a disability does not mean there isn't one. I often get dirty looks and rude comments. Being nice or ignoring it does no good.
I know my son's behavior can be childish, rude or inappropriate at times. I have been fighting this battle every day since he was 2. I have seen every doctor and therapist available and exhausted every resource I could find, and now we have either aged out or my son isn't "bad enough" to be eligible.
However, he is still difficult to handle, and I still need to buy groceries and run errands. Sometimes that parent you are giving the dirty looks to is near the end of her rope and could use a little compassion or at least silence from the peanut gallery.
Struggling Mom
in Long Beach, Miss.
Dear Struggling Mom: As you and other parents of children with disabilities deal with the realities of daily living, the last thing you (or they) need is criticism from strangers. If someone makes a comment or gives you a look, you should say, "My son can't help himself; he's autistic." It's the truth.

Featured Reviews for CatStop Automatic Outdoor Cat Repellent
Did the job! by Nena from South TX07/17/2014
I had been feeding some feral cats, which is not recommended by PETA, and had a colony of cats living in my yard. My county has a kill policy. Then, my area got a flea infestation! These devices allowed me to successfully deal with this problem in a human way.
Not what I expected by Nashuacats from Nashua NH03/08/2014
The burst are too short, stray cats just walk by them with no problems. I own 3 and have put them in the yard. recommend improving the product, have the sound sound bursts much longer, improve the range. The cats are laughing at this product.
Best Cat Repellent I've Found by J in Mich12/31/2011
A feral cat was preying on our backyard wildlife. I've tried LOTS of repellants. None worked! I tried CatStop. Now, the cat never occupies the bush where he used to spend all day scoping out his next meal; and I rarely see him in our backyard (although he occasionally sits beyond the CatStop's range and may run in to catch something, but I haven't seen that). I'd like him to run in fear of the CatStop, but it's not that effective. Seems to just be annoying enough that he generally stays away. CatStop performance is acceptable, but could have more sensors for a wider view angle and more sectors within the view angle. It also seems to be activated by the sun and moving leaves. I've replaced the battery 3x in a month because of these unwanted alarms, but I suppose they just annoy the cat that much more. It's good; the best I've found; but it's not exceptional.
The Humane Way to Get Rid of Stray Cats by PartyPooper from Los Angeles, CA06/19/2012
I installed CatStop in some bushes at the edge of my front lawn and the stray cats in my neighborhood stopped using my yard as a toilet. The ultrasonic repellent works great, 24/7. Uses one 9V battery, which needs replacing every couple of months. I don't have to buy a dog!
by naiha1 from jersey city,nj05/16/2013
This works pretty well. But depending on the area, you may need more that one. I t reall only affects the direct area you put it in. For example: We put it in the patio seating area, so now the cats will not sit on our couches outside but they will lay on the part of the patio that the cat stop is facing away from, or play on the steps right before the the patio furniture. But I would still recomend it.
CatStopAutomatic Cat Repellant by Victor03/04/2008
These work great. I bought 3 and sold all of them. Now I need more and I need to keep at least a couple in my own backyard.
Featured Reviews for Contech Stay Away Automatic Pet Deterrent Refill (6.4 oz)
Scaredy cat by Ali from CA04/10/2013
Worked for my cats. It's like the scary boogy man. They give it the weary eye and keep 15 feet away. It only took one time to teach them it's a no no.
Disappointed now by Chris03/19/2013
Because we have a really hard time at getting the top sprayer unit over the refill air container I'm not very happy about your product now. When we took the top unit off to replace a new refill can we discovered one of the black teeth got broken off first time. We ruined a whole can of air trying to get it on. We had ordered 2 cans so tried 2nd one and could only get it on part way so it doesn't work that well. We follow directions how to get the spray unit on air can but it takes more muscle than we have. Is there an easy way?? The product really works well but now spray unit is ruined as it cracked the round ring which locks it in place.

Tuesday began with a bit of patchy fog and a few clouds, but as the day moved on, we saw some clearing. With the afternoon sunshine, temperatures warmed to well above average, in fact, nearly ten degree above average in Grants Pass and Medford.
Fire season ended on Wednesday for Oregon Department of Forestry-protected lands in Southwest Oregon. rainfall of at least one-half inch was recorded in many parts of the district, which includes state, private, county, city and Bureau of Land Management forest lands.
Long-range forecasting, like seasonal forecasting, meteorologists no longer look at weather models like we do for the day-to-day forecast, we look at teleconnections. Two of the best known teleconnections are El Niño and La Niña.
Dozens of people in Tigard had to take a detour to work yesterday, after a massive tree came crashing down. Neighbors say the giant oak was pushed down by the winds. They also say on the way down, it took out power lines in the area and crushed a handful of cars.

Although I had a requirement that wasn't addressed, Fiona told me it could be easily done through a minor change to the CSS code. Not being a CSS pro, I was a little concerned about being able to handle the change. After installing the module, it took less than five minutes to make the changes based on the instructions and sample code from the developer. The CSS is very clean and easy to understand.
The basic module does what it is advertised to do - and more. It's a snap to install and configure. Minor modifications, beyond the flexible options, are very simple to undertake.
Support, though not generally needed, is quick; the answers easy to understand.
I wish I had evaluated this module before looking at some others. I could have saved myself a lot of time. I highly recommend Mod Panel Slider. It is well worth the small fee.

Being fairly new to Joomla, I had some minor problems with the initial setup. When I contacted Jonathan, the author, he was very helpful and got me up a running. Since then, he has released a new version of the enhancement. During the testing, he was very responsive to suggestions and quick to resolve any problems. All in all, this is a very useful, workable enhancement.

The Médiouna wastewater treatment plant inaugurated this week in the Greater Casablanca region of Morocco will treat wastewater from 40,000 people to be reused for agricultural irrigation.
Operated by Lydec, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, the company said it is the first wastewater treatment plant in Morocco and in North Africa to use a membrane filtration process.
The technology will be used to re-use treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation with the aim to help protect the city of Oued Hassar from wastewater discharge from the Médiouna and conserve water resources.
The Médiouna plant is part of a wider investment program in the Greater Casablanca Region, designed to protect the environment from wastewater discharge, conserve water resources and provide inhabitants with a better quality of life, in particular high quality bathing water.
His Majesty Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, inaugurated the Médiouna wastewater treatment plant in the presence of François Hollande, President of the French Republic, Gérard Mestrallet, chairman and CEO of GDF SUEZ, and Jean-Louis Chaussade, chief executive officer of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT.

WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Despite the cry from people of color for more teachers who look like them, both Whites and Blacks benefit from a more diverse teaching force, according to a study by Center of American Progress.
"… A study of the relationship between the presence of African American teachers in schools and African American students' access to equal education in schools found that fewer African Americans were placed in special-education classes, suspended, or expelled when they had more teachers of color, and that more African American students were placed in gifted and talented programs and graduated from high school," stated the report.
Teachers of color also have, "an affinity for infusing their classrooms with culturally relevant experiences and examples, setting high academic expectations, developing trusting student-teacher relationships, and serving as cultural and linguistic resources—as well as advocates, mentors, and liaisons—for students' families and communities."
A study titled, "Teacher Diversity Revisited" reported in May 2014 that learning from and networking with a multicultural teaching staff is also important for preparing White students for a workforce and society where they will no longer make up the majority.
students to interact with people who look and act differently than they do in order to build social trust and create a wider sense of community," stated the report. "In other words, the benefits of diversity are not just for students of color."
CAP researchers said that male teachers of color are more than twice as likely to ditch the classroom for another career than female teachers of color.
Black male teachers also told researchers that feelings of isolation or being the only Black male on the faculty increased their, "desire to leave their current schools." When male minority teachers get certified in their main subject, they "are only half as likely to leave the field as are other teachers."
In an effort to address the lack of minority teachers and to retain the ones currently in our nation's classrooms, CAP report suggested states should "develop innovative approaches to teacher preparation in both university-based and alternative-certification programs."
Researchers also proposed higher benchmarks for teacher-training programs.
The CAP report also cited the Education Department's recruitment campaign aimed at preparing 80,000 Black teachers for classrooms across the country by 2015 to provide students not only with high-quality educational experiences, but also to present them with role models with a variety of cultural experiences, as well.
"There is a need for more teacher-preparation programs to embrace calls for higher quality and candidate expectations—indeed, to marry the call for quality and diversity," stated the report. "Improved preparation will go a long way toward minimizing the number of new teachers that enter our schools ill-equipped and quickly exit through the revolving door."
The report concluded that policymakers needed to shift their focus to retaining effective minority teachers, while supporting the efforts of minority professionals seeking to enter the field.
"States and school districts have the power to remove barriers to the retention and success of teachers of color. Those that do not address these barriers—by, for example, supporting high-quality teaching and reforming school conditions—will continue to face high turnover, destabilized faculties, and unsatisfactory student achievement levels," the report stated. "Communities of color must advocate for effective teaching and encourage their children to prepare to enter a rigorous and demanding profession."
The report calls for "access to not only high-quality education opportunities, but also a high-quality and an equally diverse teaching force."
The CAP report said that effective teachers play a pivotal role in producing high performance students, and conversely that less experienced teachers often contribute to achievement gaps between Whites and non-Whites.
Minorities account for nearly half of the students in public schools in the United States, but less than 20 percent of teachers are non-White.
According to a 2011 study by The National Center for Education Information (NCEI), more than 80 percent of teachers are White and less than 10 percent are Black. At 70 percent, White females account for the majority of all teachers. Only 2 percent of all teachers are Black men, underscoring the paucity of Black male role models in U.S. public schools.
A 2014 report by the Children's Defense Fund said that more than 80 percent of Black students can't read at grade level and in 2010 less than 70 percent were graduating from high school in four years. Black students also received 1 in 6 out-of-school suspensions, compared to their White peers who received 1 in 20 out-of-school suspensions.

All Students Benefit from Minority Teachers

U.S. Political Views not Rigidly Defined
By Jazelle Hunt
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Politically, the nation is less sharply divided collection of red and blue states, and more a rainbow patchwork of political ideologies, according to the Pew Center.
The report, "Beyond vs. Blue: The Political Typology" (and its supplemental reports) breaks American politics down beyond primary colors. Political typology, a system the Pew Center devised 27 years ago, groups people based on their attitudes on key issues as opposed to their limited partisan labels.
"More Americans today hold consistently liberal or consistently conservative values across a wide range of issues, Democrats and Republicans are further apart ideologically, and more partisans express deeply negative views of the other political party," the report reads. "But the typology shows that the center is hardly unified."
This year's typology survey revealed eight attitude categories. The highest share of African Americans (accounting for 30 percent of the group) fall into a category called the "faith and family left." Religion "is a very important part of life" for 85 percent of this group's members. They are, or lean, Democrat, favoring robust social programs, while also holding conservative attitudes on moral and religious issues such as same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization, and abortion. For Republicans looking to draw Black voters from the left, this would be the fount—fully 37 percent of the faith and family left consider themselves conservative.
The faith and family left is the only category that is majority-minority—it also encompasses the largest share of Latino and foreign-born voters. And yet, the views on racial issues are murky within this group. While 74 percent support affirmative action, only 28 percent believe the government should continue making changes to give Blacks equal rights. At the same time, 57 percent believe that "blacks who are unable to get ahead are responsible for their own condition."
According to the report, this is now the prevailing attitude in the United States.
"While the public is divided over whether additional societal changes are needed to further racial equality, most do not believe that discrimination is the main reason why many blacks can't get ahead today," it states. "By more than two-to-one (63 percent to 27 percent), the public says blacks who can't get ahead are mostly responsible for their own condition."
In fact, racial inequality is one of the most divisive topics on the left. Among "solid liberals" (just 15 percent of voters, 69 percent of whom are White), 80 percent say that discrimination holds Blacks back. This is compared to 31 percent of the faith and family left who believe the same. People under 50 who skew liberal are even more skeptical about racial inequality.
As the report explains, "The Next Generation Left are young, relatively affluent and very liberal on social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion. But they have reservations about the cost of social programs. And while most of the Next Generation Left support affirmative action, they decisively reject the idea that racial discrimination is the main reason why many blacks are unable to get ahead."
Only 19 percent of members of this group attribute the African American plight to racial discrimination. Fully 67 percent believe that the U.S. has made enough changes to even the racial playing field, and 77 percent believe that anyone who wants to get ahead can do so through hard work. Black Americans account for 7 percent of the next generation left.
Black voters account for less than 5 percent of "steadfast conservatives" and even less of "business conservatives," the two Republican-leaning groups. Among political "bystanders," those disenfranchised or unregistered by choice and/or pay little to no attention to politics, 10 percent are Black. Black voters make up a significant share (20 percent) of "hard-pressed skeptics" who identify as Independents. (This group is still largely White, making up 61 percent of the ranks).
"Deeply financially-stressed and distrustful of government, Hard-Pressed Skeptics lean toward the Democratic Party but have reservations about both political parties," the report explains. "They want government to do more to solve problems, but have doubts about its efficiency."
This group has a half-hearted interest in following government (43 percent pay attention "most of the time"), is largely under- and unemployed, and has the lowest incomes and education levels.
In turn, members of this group overwhelmingly harbor negative opinions, including: immigrants are a burden on the country; government benefits don't go far enough; hard work does not guarantee success; and the country's best times have passed.
Despite all of these differences, the average citizen is not nearly as politically unyielding as the behavior of elected officials might suggest.
The report explains that "Overall, more Americans say they prefer elected officials who make compromises with people they disagree with than those who stick to their positions (56 percent vs. 39 percent)," with the exception of "steadfast conservatives" who prefer their candidates—well, steadfast. Similarly, the faith and family left are about evenly divided on the merit of candidates who can compromise.
And so, it's going to be a nail-biting election season for a deadlocked two-party system struggling to capture and represent the ideological diversity among voters, the report concludes.
"Beyond the ideological wings, which make up a minority of the public, the political landscape includes a center that is large and diverse, unified by frustration with politics and little else," it explains. "As a result, both parties face formidable challenges in reaching beyond their bases to appeal to the middle of the electorate and build sustainable coalitions."
Blacks Unemployment Best in 6 Years
By Freddie Allen
NNPA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – The Black unemployment rate hit a six-year low in June, dipping below 11 percent for the first time since August 2008.
Last week, the Labor Department reported that the Black jobless rate was 10.7 percent in June, compared to the White unemployment rate, which was 5.3 percent. The unemployment rate for Black men over 20 years-old fell from 11.5 percent in May to 10.9 percent in June, compared to White men who saw their jobless rate decrease from 5 percent to 4.9 percent over the same period.
The jobless rate for Black women over 20 years-old continued to improve, dropping one percentage point, from 10 percent in May to 9 percent in June. The unemployment rate for White women ticked down one-tenth of a percentage point from 4.9 percent in May to 4.8 percent in June.
The fall in the Black unemployment rate was accompanied by an increase in the groups labor force participation rate, which measures the share of Black workers holding jobs or looking for jobs. When the labor force rate rises, researchers have found that workers generally have a more positive outlook on the economy. In June, the Black labor force rate rose to 61 percent from 60.8 percent the previous month.
In a blog post on the jobs report, Valerie Wilson, the director of the Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy at the Economic Policy Institute, said that the increase in the labor force rates for Blacks and Latinos was another indicator that June jobs report was a strong one.
"The share of working age African Americans with a job has increased 1.3 percentage points since January 2014 and the increase for Latinos has been six-tenths of a percent, compared to an increase of one-tenth of a percent for Whites," wrote Wilson. "The June employment growth accounts for over half of this increase for African Americans and all of the gains for Latinos and Whites. These gains also bring the Black-White unemployment gap to the lowest level this year at a ratio of 2-to-1."
Wilson added: "The fact that employment is now growing more strongly for African Americans and Latinos demonstrates how critical continued strong job growth will be to further reducing unemployment for people of color and narrowing racial unemployment gaps."
The national unemployment rate was 6.1 percent and employers added 288,000 jobs in June. The jobs numbers for April and May were revised upwards, combining for an additional 29,000 jobs over the two-month period.
Speaking in Washington, D.C. about the latest jobs report, President Barack Obama said that the United States has seen "the fastest job growth in the United States in the first half of the year since 1999" and "the quickest drop in unemployment in 30 years."
Obama continued: "So it gives you a sense that the economy has built momentum, that we are making progress. We've now seen almost 10 million jobs created over the course of the last 52 months. And it should be a useful reminder to people all across the country that given where we started back in 2008, we have made enormous strides, thanks to the incredible hard work of the American people and American businesses that have been out there competing, getting smarter, getting more effective."
In a statement on June's jobs report, Chad Stone, the chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, wrote that even though the report showed "encouraging signs that the labor market is healing," millions of workers continue to struggle through periods of long-term unemployment.
Washington lawmakers cut a crucial lifeline when they failed to extend emergency unemployment insurance (UI) at the end of last year. Millions of out-of-work Americans will lose their UI benefits by the end of 2014, if Congress doesn't act.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration encouraged companies to sign a pledge to improve opportunities for workers who have been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer, a condition that Blacks suffer at disproportionate rates compared to Whites.
Companies that signed the pledge agreed to review current recruitment and hiring practices said that they would make sure employment listings didn't discriminate against the long-term unemployed or discourage them from applying.
"It's a sort of economic patriotism where you say to yourself, how is it that we can start rebuilding this country to make sure that all of the young people who are here but their kids and their grandkids are going to be able to enjoy the same incredible opportunities that this country offers as we have," said Obama. "That's our job. That's what we should be focused on."
Concussions a Greater Problem for Black Youth
By Jazelle Hunt
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Despite the flurry of news about NFL lawsuits over concussions, the problem affects far more athletes at the high school and junior high school level, according to the federal government statistics.
In 2009 alone, nearly 250,000 youth age 19 or younger were treated in emergency rooms for sports and recreation-related injuries that included concussions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between 2001 and 2009, the rate of such visits rose 57 percent.
Concussions occur when the brain is shaken violently against the skull. Although concussions are the most common brain injury, widespread awareness and concern about this issue in the world of student athletics is fairly recent.
But it is especially relevant for Black communities, particularly young men most likely to die from traumatic brain injuries, according to the CDC. And according to data from research nonprofit, Child Trends, 50 to 60 percent of Black American high schoolers were on a sports team in 2011.
In severe or untreated cases, they can cause brain damage, seizures, emotional distress, and death—in fact the CDC estimates that 5.3 million U.S. citizens are living with disability as a result of a traumatic brain injury (or TBI, an umbrella term that includes concussions).
"From an athletic trainer perspective concussions have always been a big concern. Coaches seemed to think that injuries increased because [athletic trainers] were there, but really it's that awareness is increased," says Jennifer Rheeling, a veteran athletic trainer in D.C. Public Schools and chair of the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee for the D.C. State Athletic Association.
"In the last five years particularly with the NFL starting to talk about it, and the lawsuits, has helped immensely now that people get it on a mainstream level. What they thought was just getting their bell rung was really a concussion."
On the most diligent and well-resourced student teams, players take baseline tests—a battery of motor skill drills and survey questions to record their individual peak cognitive health—and have athletic trainers who check for signs of decline. If a concussion is suspected, a player does another test to compare those results to his or her baseline. The ImPACT Concussion Management program is currently the program of record for these tests among school athletic programs.
But according to Dr. Vernon Williams, neurologist and medical director of the Sports Concussion Institute, a lack of access to care compounds the (now fading) problem of awareness. ImPACT, for example, costs a minimum of $400 per year for 100 baseline tests and 15 post-injury tests for one school. Meanwhile, many schools and school districts, largely populated by Black and brown children, routinely have to make cuts to balance their budget.
"We have coaches who understand the need, but they have different resources. For example, we know baseline testing for people in contact collision sports can help evaluate when people get injured," Dr. Williams explains. "But it's uncommon for people to have access to state-of-the-art baseline testing. Players, school systems, and parents don't have access to those funds. But we can still implement treatment using creative measures."
Currently, Dr. Gary Harris, who specializes in computer engineering and serves as associate provost for Research and Graduate Studies at Howard University, is working with engineering students and the Bison football team to devise an inexpensive concussion monitoring system, using an open source platform.
("Open source" is a tech industry term that means the equipment and information to create this system is public as opposed to proprietary, so as to encourage others to innovate and improve on the idea).
The project uses a computer chip attached inside the helmet that measures impact up to 100 gs of force. For reference: a sneeze is about 2 or 3 gs of force on the human body; an F-16 fighter jet barrel roll exerts 7 to 9 gs; a car crash at 45 mph is about 60 gs. Concussions usually happen with collisions between 80 and 120 gs.
The chip records the force of impact for every collision—it can be programed to transmit this information wirelessly, say, to a cell phone app. Or, it can be downloaded from the helmet using a USB cable. It can also be programed to send an alert when a hit exceeds a certain threshold.
"You can have an entire team's list where you know all their shock, trauma, and incidents on file," says Dr. Harris. "We still don't know the threshold of force for brain damage, we don't know how many hits it takes, but the first thing we have to do is collect the data."
Each of these chips costs approximately $30.
Technology is also being used to improve care and outcomes the aftermath of serious concussion cases. Interactive Metronome, a health tech company that creates neurological research-based brain training programs and activities, is one example. The activities are designed around "brain timing"—the ability to clap to a beat, for example. As users play games and do activities that test their reaction time, those brain cell connections are repaired and strengthened. Originally (and primarily) used to improve motor skills and cognitive function in children with ADD/ADHD, the program is beginning to see success with TBI rehabilitation.
"We fit into concussions in a new way, which is helping out when those [post-concussion] symptoms don't dissipate," says Nick Etten, vice president of Strategy and Business Development at Interactive Metronome. "There's a lot of emphasis on technology these days—it's really important in the world of concussions and cognitive rehab. We're starting to understand that there was a big void in information."
Technology has helped improve identifying and treating concussions; on the prevention front, sports health care professionals now have the backing of the law. In all 50 states, a student athlete must be immediately removed from play if a concussion is suspected, and cannot return to practice or play without medical clearance. Some states also mandate that a student must remain free of symptoms or remain on the injured list for a set period of time, even if they gain medical clearance immediately.
But there are still holes in preventing these injuries.
"There's clearly benefits to legislation in terms of drawing attention to the issue of concussions and having some foundation across the board with how they should be managed," says Dr. Williams. "I think there are some variables…related to who should be allowed to clear players."
He and Rheeling have both seen athletes on under-resourced teams get clearance from an emergency room resident, for example, in contrast with athletes who take a concussion test against their baseline with their team's athletic trainer. They've also seen instances of students underreporting their symptoms, coaches resisting care recommendations, and parents being lax in monitoring their child's rest after a concussion.
Emerging laws are attempting to add another layer of protection by regulating the number of weekly practices involving rough contact drills, thus reducing exposure to collisions and risk of concussion. Trainers, coaches, parents, and athletes can also receive guidance through resources such as the American Academy of Neurology online Sports Concussion Toolkit, and organizations such as the Sports Legacy Network.
"We're at the end of the beginning as relates to concussion management. We're learning more every day and the process will continue to evolve," says Dr. Williams. "We're out of the phase of explaining what a concussion is, identifying symptoms…. It's no longer an unrecognized epidemic, we're aware of the issues and that [a concussion] has to be managed effectively."
Locked Up, Left Behind: Juvenile Justice System Failing Southern Youth
By Michael McGee
Special to the NNPA from The Dallas Examiner
"The most disadvantaged, troubled students in the South and the nation attend schools in the juvenile justice systems," the 2014 report from the Southern Education Foundation begins. The document, Just Learning: The Imperative to Transform Juvenile Justice Systems into Effective Educational Systems raises a number of questions: If so many children with educational needs are segregated or incarcerated, what will become of them and the society they will enter once they age out of the system? Are their needs being met? What can be improved?
Data within the report suggests that the current condition the juvenile justice system is in creates the potential for lifelong disadvantage for many youth who are a part of the system. Dr. Kent McGuire, president of the Southern Education Foundation, is concerned by what he saw in the report.
"The first thing I think we need to remember is that we're talking about kids, not adults," he said. "Kids need help and support as they grow up, as they develop, and they're entitled to and deserve opportunities to learn through education so that they can participate fully in the economy and the democracy." The president noted that all children have such needs, be they in an off-campus alternative school, a boot camp or high school in a suburban community.
"So we're talking about school," McGuire said. "The good news is that they're set up to do education. The bad news is, from our look in, is that the education function, we think, gets short shrift." He said if education was understood to be a primary focus to juvenile justice the dividends would be greater in the future.
"In terms of lower recidivism rates, high school graduation rates and smoother transitions into post-secondary opportunities and the world of work," McGuire stated. "So there's just lots of reasons, before we even get to the cost associated with the population of that system, lots of reasons to get the education piece right."
The report from 2010 suggests that there were 70,000 young people across the U.S. detained within the system on any given day. About one-third of those kids were found in 15 states of the Southern U.S. McGuire reflected upon how those numbers got to be so high.
"Most things we come to worry about don't happen overnight, which means that they're long, slow, developing trends which take a trained eye to see," he admitted. To some extent, he praised aspects of the No Child Left Behind legislation for identifying problem areas for many school-aged children.
"On the other hand, [there's] this preoccupation with accountability to the absence of what I'll call capacity-building," McGuire criticized. "It's one thing to hold adults accountable; it's another to actually help them get better results. We've done a lot of one. We haven't done very much of the other."
Many kids within the system have learning disabilities, behavioral and emotional problems, and are behind in their education to begin with, the SEF report cites. The report also notes that, of the total number of youth detained in 2010, almost two-thirds "did not involve any wrongdoing directly against another person." Most kids in the system were there not due to violence, but because of property damage, drug issues, or they "had been unruly, incurred technical violations, or had committed a status offense," the SEF said.

Traffic is lighter than normal in most places, but we do have a few congested spots.
A crash on the right shoulder of northbound 35W at 35th Street is causing traffic to stack up from 50th Street past the scene. Plan on 13 minutes from Crosstown to 94.
The usual stop and go conditions are in place on westbound 494 from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 100. That is 15 minutes. Look for pockets of slow traffic on the westbound side from E. Bush Lake Road to 35W.
Westbound 94 is moving quite nice for this hour, except for minor slow downs in the area of Dale Street.
Plan on a couple extra minutes on Central Avenue heading into downtown Minneapolis.

Thai Kitchen House PartyPosted by Katie on Sep 28, 2010 in giveaway, House Party, Thai | 4 comments
A few week's back I was selected to host a Thai Kitchen House Party (some of you may have already known that if you follow me on twitter). I've used Thai Kitchen products quite a few times, and was so excited to see a party like this being offered, so I instantly applied, and was very happy when I found out that I was selected to throw this house party. I knew that a majority of my friends had never cooked Thai food at home, and some have never even consumed it! I knew it would be a great product to represent and introduce to my friends.
I am declaring this week as Thai Week at Katie's Cucina.
I'll provide you with all of the recipes I made at my Thai kitchen party PLUS one lucky winner will receive a Thai Kitchen reusable grocery bag with a recipe pamphlet and coupons! One winner will be selected at random on Friday, October 1st at 12:00pm EST. You will have up to three chances to enter; here's how:
1. Become an active follower on my blog
(leave a comment under this post letting me know that your a new follower).
2. If your already are an active follower of my blog leave a comment below.
3. Follow me on twitter (leave a comment below/if you already follow tell me).
4. "Like" my Facebook Page (leave a comment below/if you already follow tell me).
Here are just a few of the products sent to me for the Thai Kitchen party (at the time of the picture I had already used 2 cans of Coconut Milk).
On top of all the great product Thai Kitchen sent me they also sent place-mats, napkins, and chop sticks (along with the goodie bags handed out at the end).
Here is a picture of our pool table converted into a 12-top dinning table; set and ready for guest!
Some of our friends enjoying there food!
I must admit that I really enjoyed planning the menu for this event. I knew the sky {was kind of} the limit with this party. The Thai Kitchen website gives so many great recipes and examples of way to cook dishes that I honestly had a difficult time limiting myself to just a few dishes! All-in-all I would say that the Chicken Satay Skewers, Chicken Pad Thai, and Thai Fried Rice were among the favorites.
We had 12 friends and 3 children who attended the party (not including my husband and myself), and everyone loved the easy recipes and readily available ingredients used to make these dishes. Out of our 12 friends; five had consumed Thai food at a restaurant before and out of those five only one had cooked Thai food at home. All five friends had agreed that they would definitely be making a Thai Kitchen recipe at home and having "Family Thai Nights". The other seven had never had Thai food at a restaurant nor at home, and they all really enjoyed the diverse flavors that Thai food has to offer. All of them talked about making the Chicken Pad Thai at home now knowing that its a simple and quick recipe to cook on a busy work night!
On a side note: two of my friends in real life came to my house party and are also bloggers. Make sure you check out: Anngela & Ashley's blogs!
Here is what our menu consisted of (recipes to come later this week):
Thai Iced Tea (A twist on a Southern classic)
Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut & Sweet Chili Sauces
(messy to make, but delicious to eat)
(messy to make, but delicious to eat)
Red Curry with Shrimp & Vegetables served with Jasmine Rice
Thai Fried Rice (*Vegetarian Option)
Cold Peanut Noodle Salad (*Vegetarian Option)
The infamous Chicken Pad Thai
… And for dessert:
Coconut Ginger Ice Cream was churned a few days prior to the event
Chocolate Coconut Cake (complimented very well with the ice cream)!
I hope everyone will enjoy Thai week at Katie's Cucina and have your own Family Thai Night at home! Remember, to enter the contest!!!

Features: FDA Faults Plant Procedures in Pet Food Outbreak
Diamond Pet Foods' failure to provide an adequate number of handwashing facilities, maintain sanitary equipment, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent Salmonella contamination contributed to illness in at least 16 people in nine states, the FDA said in a May 15 report.
Departments: Sanitation Measures for Food Processing Facility Pest Management
The arrival of spring can send us into a cleaning frenzy. During spring cleaning, we assess trouble spots in our homes, remove clutter, and sanitize thoroughly. The same concept should apply in your food processing facility, where cleanliness standards aren't just good practice—they're required.
Departments: Clean Up Your Act
With news of foodborne outbreaks surfacing practically every week, frantic searches for the culprits often boil down to one issue: cleanliness.
Departments: Chlorine Clean
Food processing has existed for centuries, but in the 19th and 20th centuries, largely due to military supply demands, more modern food processing technologies were developed. As food processing needs have grown, so have problems with food contamination and foodborne illness.
Departments: Multiply Your Meat and Poultry Attack
Intervention strategies have been on a rapid development track during the past decade, with a number of companies not only adopting the strategies in their processing plants but, in many cases, making them integral components of their hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) plans.
Departments: CIP Spells Savings
Clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place (CIP/SIP) systems are essential to safe, efficient food production. Between different product runs and on a regular basis, product handling, processing, conveying, and packaging equipment components undergo crucial washdowns to eliminate contaminants. And regularly well-cleaned equipment also tends to enjoy extended operation life, providing an important cost benefit to food and beverage companies.
Departments: California Requires New Certification for Food Handlers
Effective July 1, California will require all employees who handle food in restaurants to earn a California Food Handlers Card. This legislation, modeled on successful programs in other states, will affect more than 1.4 million food industry jobs.
Departments: Start a Food Safety Management System
Businesses from all links in the food chain are increasingly challenged to implement a structured food safety management system (FSMS) that is incorporated into the overall management activities of the organization. This challenge comes from the requirement to comply with a growing number of regulations, as well as pressure from customers and the ethical obligation to protect consumers from illness and injury by providing safe food.
Departments: Sustainability Certifications for Food Manufacturers
As sustainability gains momentum throughout the food industry, we're seeing the increasingly popular use of ecolabels and certifications like organic, Marine Stewardship Council, and Pesticide Residue Free by primary producers. Third party certifications provide a valuable and credible way for these businesses to tell potential customers about their sustainability efforts. While most current certifications focus on primary producers, third party verification can also play a valuable role in advancing...

At our last MFKR we had the joy of learning Entrelac, in this case garterlac with Brian Kohler. He is the designer of this scarf. The scarf is blocking right now is so beautiful.
I am not going to finish these with tip, it will be opened at the end just because I want to see what that feels like, I can always finish the tips later if I want to in crochet or knit.
This pattern has mittens, but I want gloves.
I am working on this combo from the Briar Rose Fibers Pattern. I think that I will change the way the mittens look and maybe make them fingerless, but we shall see it is early in the month yet lol!

Former Dover music teacher facing child porn charge dies
No cause of death was given. Robertson formerly lived in Greenland and Eliot, Maine, but his obituary said he was a resident of Barrington.
The former St. Thomas Aquinas music teacher was arrested in January on child pornography charges, the result of a federal investigation into a foreign movie production company that sold DVDs and streaming videos of young boys engaged in sexually explicit acts.
The business sold its illegal movies and photos over the web, had a shipping facility in New York State, and maintained a customer database, according to investigators.
The customer information eventually led Greenland police and U.S. Postal Inspectors on Jan. 31 to Robertson's home, then in Greenland.
Robertson was charged by Greenland police with seven counts of possession of child sexual abuse images after a search warrant was executed at his home.
He was a music teacher from 2002 to 2008 at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover.
In 2009, Robertson was acquitted of misdemeanor charges alleging he groped the genitals of a former student while swimming out behind his house.
He was prosecuted at two separate trials in Strafford County. After the verdict, Robertson filed to have his record annulled and applied for a teaching position as recently as last summer in Massachusetts, according to prosecutors.
In his obituary, Robertson is described as a loving husband, son, and brother. He was born in Portsmouth, raised in Greenland and graduated from Portsmouth High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy form the University of New Hampshire and took graduate courses toward a master's in music education.
According to the obituary, he taught music in several communities, including Barrington, Laconia, Allenstown, Epsom an Dover, and was an excellent musician (percussionist) and had a wonderful tenor voice. He was active in several musical groups.
Raised in Greenland, Robertson graduated Portsmouth High School, and went on to teach music in several communities, including Barrington, Laconia, Dover, Allenstown, and Epsom.
He also had his own landscaping business, which was primarily a summer occupation.
