Naugatuck officials quickly remove graffiti
|This photo depicts how spray paint can be removed from a retaining wall near the Naugatuck Greenway. The area in the middle of the image that is now removed was also spray painted. Naugatuck Street Department employees scrubbed it off with a brush and some water. By mid-afternoon, a roughly 20-foot but six-foot swath of spray paint had been completely removed. Paul Singley/RA
NAUGATUCK -- Borough officials have finally beaten vandals at their own game.

Papers, books, personal correspondence, business records and correspondence of the Clara White Mission, photographs, art, furniture, other three dimensional objects, printed materials and memorabilia of Eartha M.M. White. Included in the collection are recordings, photographs and business records of the Hollywood Music Store, a business located next to the Clara White Mission in operation ca. 1930′s – 1990′s.
The Eartha M.M. White Historical Museum is located at the Clara White Mission in the LaVilla section of Jacksonville, Florida. The Museum was originally conceived of by Miss Eartha M.M. White sometime in the 1930′s as a repository for African American history and the history of Jacksonville's African American community. The Museum's collection consists of over 2,000 objects including furniture, art, decorative arts, photographs, Miss White's personal papers, business records of the Clara White Mission as well as papers and printed materials related to the various agencies founded by Miss White.
Eartha Mary Magdalene White was born in Jacksonville, Florida on November 8, 1876. She was adopted by Lafayette and Clara English White. Mr. White died in 1881 when Eartha was five years old. Clara White, who was born a slave on Harrison Plantation in Nassau County, Florida, worked at various times as a maid and as a stewardess at hotels in Jacksonville and on steamboats operating from Jacksonville to various ports north at the height of the tourist industry in north Florida. A charter member of Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, Clara White was a dedicated humanitarian who had an enormous influence on her daughter. In the 1880′s, Clara White began operating a soup kitchen at her residence to feed underprivileged people in the community. This activity continued in various locations and was eventually moved to 611-15 Ashley Street in the early 1930′s. The facility was named the Clara White Mission by Miss Eartha White to honor her mother who had died in 1920.
Eartha White graduated from the Stanton School in 1893 and moved to New York City to avoid a Yellow Fever outbreak in Jacksonville. There, she attended the Madam Hall Beauty School and the National Conservatory of Music. She was selected as a member of the Oriental American Opera Company, the first African American opera company in the United States. The Oriental American included Madam Plato and Sidney Woodward and was directed by J. Rosamond Johnson, a native of Jacksonville and brother of James Weldon Johnson. The Company opened on Broadway in New York and then toured extensively for a year throughout the United States and Europe. In 1896, Miss White returned to Jacksonville to attend classes at and graduate from Florida Baptist Academy. After graduating with a college degree, she began a sixteen year teaching career in Bayard, Florida and later at her alma mater, the Stanton School in Jacksonville.
During this period, Miss White also engaged in various business enterprises including the ownership of a dry goods store on the east side of Jacksonville, an employment and housekeeping bureau, a steam laundry and a taxi company. She was a charter member of the National Negro Business League, the first woman employee of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company and a real estate broker. She had extensive real estate holdings throughout these years and used them to partially finance her businesses and settlement work activities.
In 1902, Eartha White established the Colored Old Folks' home for indigent, elderly African Americans in Duval County that eventually became the Eartha M. M. White Nursing Home in 1967. On the same campus with the Home, she operated the only orphanage for African-American children in the State of Florida at that time. She also sponsored a home for unwed mothers, established Mercy Hospital for tuberculosis patients, pioneered public recreation programs for African American children in Jacksonville and did extensive work with prisoners. She was a member of and leader in the Negro Women's Club Movement working along side Mrs. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune among others. She was a member of the Republican Party and was a well recognized political "power broker" throughout her long life.
The Clara White Mission was headquarters for the WPA's Negro Division and ran numerous programs to help relieve the effects of the Depression. Cultural programs, including music and art activities, occurred at that time. During WWII, Miss White established a USO for Colored servicemen and women and participated in the activities of the Red Cross. After the War and into the 1970′s, the Clara White Mission continued to provide programs for the needy, adapting to the changes in the national and local political landscape, and the social changes taking place around it.
Miss White received the 1970 Lane Bryant Award for Volunteer Service, a national award presented to her by President Richard M. Nixon. The award was accompanied by a cash gift which Miss White used for the Clara White Mission's work. She was appointed to the President's National Center for Volunteer Action in 1971. Eartha M.M. White never married. She died on January 18, 1974, in Jacksonville, Florida, at the age of 97.

Now I Own Two Audis. — Comparing this car to others solely based upon it's 0-60 time ( less than 5 seconds is plenty fast) misses the point. Mechanically it's a masterpiece for sure...aluminum V8, herculean brakes, torque vectoring differential in an all-wheel drive set- up, etc. Esthetically, you will love this car once you take it out for a tour. The textures, fit and finish, interior (and exterior) design is gorgeous. Turn on the 505 watt Bang and Olufson audio and go!

Before we work together, there's a few things you should know...
We're not "Yes." men—in fact we'll say "No." quite often.
Interested in hiring Upstate Interactive?
First lets go over a few points of discussion before you make contact. I wouldn't call these "rules;" they're more like philosophies.
Trust us.
You've hired us for a reason—please listen to us and trust our advice. In the end, its your call, but take our advice seriously.
Phones are kinda annoying.
Phones, TXT's, and IM's are great tools, but they can interrupt an otherwise productive day. Consider sending an email instead.
There's always an upfront payment.
We don't start work without payment. If you don't pay, our family doesn't eat. Please, pay on time; don't make us hassle you for money.
We're not your employees.
We set our own schedule; we choose what software and hardware we use; and, we select the best method for the job. We don't ask for a salary or benefits.
We take deadlines seriously.
We take pride in having the uncanny ability of knowing when a project will be completed.
Just keeping it real.
Sometimes you may not like what we have to say, but we say it only with the best intentions. Don't take things personally. We'll do the same.
We're not trained monkeys.
Please, don't tell us how to do our job. We'll create the best solution we know how. Its up to you if you use it.
"Me contractor; you client."
Remember, you're the client. Make sure you tell us what you want. Our success is based on your input.
The Client-Contractor Relationship
After being kicked out of Apple back in the 80's, Steve Jobs started a small computer companied named NeXT. Jobs asked Paul Rand—considered by many to be the father of modern design—to come up with a "few options" for the NeXT logo:
"I asked him if he would come up with a few options. And he said, 'No. I will solve your problem for you. And you will pay me. And you don't have to use the solution. If you want options, go talk to other people. But I'll solve your problem for you the best way I know how. And you use it or not. That's up to you. You're the client. But you pay me.' And there was a clarity about the relationship that was refreshing."
—Steve Jobs on working with designer Paul Rand
The simplistic way with which Rand operated is refreshing. It has inspired us to strive for the same simplistic business methods. We'll solve your problem the best way we can, and you agree to pay us for the solution. Its as simple as that.
Done reading? Lets talk.
Read all of the above, and still want to work with Upstate Interactive? We're very professional and are always interested in talking with you about your project. We're interested in working with projects beginning as early as 1-2 weeks from today.
Contact Us: Let's talk more about your project →

Caring Bunny hops into VCC for children with special needs
Citizen Staff Reports 03/29/12
Caring Bunny will hop into Virginia Center Commons Mall, 10101 Brook Rd., for children with special needs and their families on Sunday, April 1 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the JCPenney Court. The event will be held prior to the mall opening, so that accommodations can be made to support the sensory, physical and other developmental needs of all guests.
Caring Bunny is a joint program developed by The Noerr Programs, the digital imaging company that provides the Bunny Photo Experience for malls nationwide and AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community.
"We had an overwhelming response to the launch of Caring Bunny and Caring Santa last year. As a result, we are thrilled to expand this program to 52 malls," said Sheryl Young, CEO of AbilityPath.org. "Holding the event before the mall opens to the public helps provide a calmer, sensory-friendly environment," adds Young.
For children with a variety of special needs, standing in line, bright flashes, crowds and sounds can create major disturbances and distractions. "We take great care in making sure our photo setting is conducive to all abilities, to allow these families to participate in a heartwarming tradition that so many take for granted," said Judy Noerr, CEO of The Noerr Programs. "It's very rewarding to see the number of siblings who attend, many for the first time. It's just as much for them, as it is for their brother or sister with special needs," notes Noerr.
Registration is requested at http://www.abilitypath.org For. more information, call VCC at 266-9002.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

Lovely Victorian Style Glass Door Knobs
By Heather M. from Norton, MA on Aug 19, 2011
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I had been looking for affordable glass knobs for a long time for my new home built in the style of a Queen Anne Victorian. I couldn't be more pleased with these knobs as the metal feels substantial and the glass handles are very pretty. These have not been installed yet, but I'm sure they'll do the trick. Would highly recommend to others.

Three thriving locations and a slew of press from outlets such as Teen Vogue and Fox News make a strong case for the success of LaBelle Day Spas & Salons. But the true testament to the salon and spa's success lies, quite literally, in the hands of owner and skincare specialist Bella Schneider. Bella is the winner of the Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Crystal Award and has spent almost four decades helping clients including Audrey Hepburn and Michelle Pfeiffer, obtain healthy, glowing complexions.
Her humble European background led her to the salon where she would receive an apprenticeship at the young age of 14. This moment became the catalyst to her skincare career, which included earning an Economics degree in the States before opening the first LaBelle Day Spa and Salon in 1976. And even though she added two more locations by the late 1980's, the mission for each beauty haven has remained the same: to provide European-quality treatments that are science-based.
Bella and her team—which includes her daughter and grandson—use her personally-formulated line of products to ensure effective results during each service, which range from vitamin-infused facials to mani-pedis enhanced by essential oils and advanced body-contouring Endermologie treatments. LaBella's team also guarantees an exceptional experience by offering spa guests a relaxing foot soak. In the salons, master stylists and colorists customized hair services by using advanced balayage and precision cutting techniques, while Pilates instructors teach private lessons so clients can perfect their posture, alignment, and grace.
Having planned and executed massage therapy for the Tennessee Titans and competitors in the Rock ?n? Roll Marathon, the muscle menders at Athletic Edge know how to help the body recover from physical trauma and athletic exertion. Their highly individualized treatments pull from more than 15 modalities?soothing muscles with gliding Swedish strokes, targeting the deeper connective tissue with neuromuscular therapy, and even combining salutary techniques to treat the underlying causes of aches. Although the gentle or directed kneading can have a distinctively relaxing effect, the therapists specialize in jump-starting clients' natural healing processes and helping them overcome the soft-tissue pains that athletic activity, auto accidents, and full-contact charades can cause. The studios also partner with chiropractors and physical therapists to form a one-stop treatment center for athletes, with particular modalities complementing the strains incurred by particular sports.
Eliana and Viviane Jardim grew up on the beaches of Brazil, and when they moved to the United States, they brought a little bit of the Brazilian sun with them. The business they opened, Samba Glow, specializes in personalized airbrush spray tans. Armed with a spray applicator, technicians apply either a clear solution that develops over the course of 8–10 hours or a bronzer that's visible right away. The DHA-based formula for each is free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, white tempera paint, and artificial fragrances, leaving room for certified-organic aloe-vera extracts, vitamin A, vitamin E, and various antioxidants that help leave skin firm and smooth. At their new Menlo Park location, the Jardim sisters decided to branch out into other beautification services—such as waxing and a full lash and brow bar—as well as retail, selling bathing suits and resort-wear designed to show off the tanning techs' handiwork.
At Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care, co-founding doctors William H. Brown and Zuzana Likar team up to tackle cosmetic woes and spin back the hands of time. Dr. Brown, who teaches other physicians his laser techniques, and Likar, a nurse practitioner who has treated more than 25,000 patients on two continents, draw on their extensive experience to create subtle changes that result in more natural, refreshed appearances.
After a free consultation with an experienced nurse to educate clients, specialists plump up faces with dermal fillers, freeze fat cells with CoolSculpting treatments, and collapse unwanted spider veins with sclerotherapy injections. They also wield a variety of lasers, using them to resurface faces, remove body hair, and stop underarm sweating, a procedure infinitely more effective than sewing handkerchiefs into the arm holes of every shirt.
The Smart Tan?certified staffers at Ingrid's Suntanning work to safely bronze skin, whether they?re offering UV-free spray tans or monitoring bulb intensity in one of the beds or booths. They maintain tanning beds with open-style bronzing that obviates any claustrophobic feelings as well as beds equipped with televisions that allow for the enjoyment of favorite channels. The team also offers a color moods light-therapy tanning enhancement that surrounds clients with their choice of colors, ranging from pink for happy to green for schadenfreude. For UV-free tanning, the skilled technicians use the Norvell airbrush system to carefully contour curves and muscles for a 100% custom experience. They also present the Mystic Tan booth, which coats skin with one shot in a uniform glow.
Owner Teri Lynne Crandall combines her decades of industry experience with the skills of aestheticians Dayna Raeside and Kaitlin McCoy and certified massage therapists Cody Lam, Indra Castillo, and Stephanie Pedro to help clients to pamper and beautify their bodies. With its Asian–inspired art, Serenity Day Spa provides a relaxing atmosphere where guests can enjoy services ranging from deep pore-cleansing facials to reflexology massages to permanent makeup applications. The spa's exclusive selection of products, including those from Jan Marini Skin Research, Pevonia Botanica, and Image Skincare, leaves faces immaculate enough to infiltrate even the highest-security porcelain-doll factories.

Human carbonic anhydrase II H64A complexed with thioxolone hydrolysis products
Thioxolone acts as a prodrug in the presence of carbonic anhydrase II (CA II), whereby the molecule is cleaved by thioester hydrolysis to the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, 4-mercaptobenzene-1,3-diol (TH0). Thioxolone was soaked into the proton transfer mutant H64A of CA II in an effort to capture a reaction intermediate via X-ray crystallography. Structure determination of the 1.2 A resolution data revealed the TH0 had been modified to a 4,4'-disulfanediyldibenzene-1,3-diol, a product of crystallization conditions, and a zinc ligated 2,4-dihydroxybenzenesulfenic acid, most likely induced by radiation damage. Neither ligand was likely a result of an enzymatic mechanism.

From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1][2][3][4][5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6][7]

4fik is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 3iqk. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.

Friday Night: Angels in My House
There are many melodies to the traditional Shabbat song Shalom Aleichem. But the newest one out there is the last song written by acclaimed musician Debbie Friedman, who died about a year ago. Clergy across the country are pledging to sing Debbie's version of "Shalom Aleichem" on Shabbat in a few weeks to honor her memory, and to teach this song to their congregations. (To watch Debbie's version, click here, and to hear a few different versions, click here.)
What's interesting about "Shalom Aleichem" is that it's a song about angels. I never really think about angels as a Jewish concept (though as it turns out, they kind of are). The song is based on a story from a Talmudic legend.
Rabbi Yosi ben Yehuda taught: "Two ministering angels–one good, one evil–accompany every Jew from the synagogue to his home on the Sabbath eve. If they find the candles burning, the table set, and the bed covered with a spread, the good angel exclaims, 'May it be God's will that it also be so on the next Sabbath,' and the evil angel is compelled to respond 'amen.' But if everything is disorderly and gloomy, the evil angel exclaims, 'May it be God's will that it also be so on the next Sabbath,' and the good angel is forced to say 'amen.'"

Golfers from the North started returning to Florida in October, and by Thanksgiving many clubs had hosted official season-opening events. There is always a progressive increase in play during October and November, but, unfortunately, both private and public facilities are reporting that the number of golf rounds continue to be down 10% to 20% compared to pre-recession numbers. It is hard to be optimistic when faced with another season of reduced golf revenues.
Similar to the rest of the eastern two-thirds of the country, record-setting high temperatures were experienced throughout the Florida summer. However, bermudagrasses and seashore paspalum have very good high temperature tolerance, so extensive turfgrass damage and loss was not a problem. The drier weather pattern that has prevailed during the late summer and fall has limited the usual extended periods of heavy cloud cover, and the abundant sunshine has directly benefited the health and quality of bermudagrass. During TAS visits in the central and southern part of the state, good quality and appropriate overall course conditioning is being provided and enjoyed by the early winter season golfers.
At courses in north-central to north Florida, winter overseeding is still underway. Another few weeks will be required for redevelopment of consistent and good quality conditioning. During the initial stages of overseeding establishment, frequent supplemental irrigation is necessary. Besides the often soft and wet playing surfaces, conditions are favorable for disease outbreaks. Especially with putting greens and tees, employing a preventative fungicide treatment program is advisable. During this critical time, preventative treatments are more effective and economical, and are good insurance.
In the southern part of the state, often between Thanksgiving and the New Year, moderate-to-severe outbreaks of leaf spot disease has been a problem on bermudagrass putting greens and fairways. Dollar spot and/or patch disease outbreaks also tend to be a common occurrence on seashore paspalum. With very limited or no growth (i.e. recovery) occurring with these turfgrasses over the next two to four months, timely preventative fungicide treatments are justified to ensure that setbacks are not experienced during a time of peak seasonal play.
Accurate weather forecasts beyond one to two weeks are not really possible; however, according to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, a moderate-to-strong La Nina will be the dominant climate factor influencing winter weather across the United States. It is still unclear how this will affect temperatures, but it is being predicted that below average rainfall will occur in Florida during December through February. Even though turfgrass water use rates are naturally lower during this time of year, astute supplemental irrigation is necessary to prevent drought stress, while at the same time provide dry and firm playing surfaces.
An additional concern when rainfall is not regularly occurring is the progressive salt buildup in the primary rootzone. Beginning in December, implement non-disruptive or venting aeration treatments to help alleviate soil compaction and maintain adequate moisture infiltration to help leach salts out of the rootzone. Unfortunately, the beneficial effects of venting operations are temporary, and, ideally, this process should be repeated on a three-to-four week interval throughout the winter and spring. Venting operations should not be conducted when nighttime temperatures are in the 50 degree range or colder, because this can result in faster soil heat loss.
2011 TAS Fees are now in effect. A half-day TAS visit is $2400, and a full-day visit is $3200. A $600 discount will apply for payments received prior to May 15, 2011 ($1800 and $2600, respectively). To take advantage of this discount, call our office now to schedule your 2011 TAS visits.

The Straits Times, Mind Your Body, 31 May 2012, By Joan Chew
I sub-specialise in paediatric gastroenterology and nutrition because..
I believe that good nutrition is the foundation for good health. Proper nutrition in childhood helps to reinforce lifelong eating habits and contributes to the child's overall well-being and development.
A child's body is fascinating because...
Its speed of growth is tremendous.
For instance, the brain reaches about 80 per cent of its final adult size by the age of two, while the intestine grows from an average length of 2.75m at birth to up to 9m by adulthood.
It is crucial to ensure that a growing child enjoys optimal health as childhood illnesses may limit his potential to develop mentally and physically.
If I were to give an analogy for what I do, I would...
Be a teacher. My job does not just involve making a diagnosis and treating the patient.
It is vital to educate both the child and his family members on the medical condition and let them know what they can do to help the child. I like to give my patients tips on healthy living and eating as I feel that it is their responsibility to keep their bodies in top form.
A typical day for me would...
Start early at 8am in the wards, where I go to review my paediatric inpatients and follow up on newborn babies.
I start my clinic between 8.30am and 9am.
I see a variety of paediatric conditions.
They range from routine vaccination and assessing the development of infants and young children to complicated cases of chronic diarrhoea and feeding problems.
I spend a lot of time counselling and educating my patients and the caregivers on the patients' conditions and how to manage them.
After a long day at work, which ends at 5.30pm or 6pm, I like to relax by swimming or listening to music. Occasionally, I love to whip up something healthy such as a slow-boiled soup or a fruity smoothie drink.
I have come across all types of cases...
Including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and feeding disorders.
IBD is a rare and chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and children afflicted by it will have abdominal pain, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and weight loss, and even fail to grow.
Dealing with feeding disorders in children, which range from the usual being fussy about food to sensory aversions, is challenging.
I need to ensure that they have no medical problems, such as nutritional deficiency or reflux issues, and also address psychological aspects, such as the child's reaction to a new food and the family's attitude when feeding the child.
I love patients who are...
Willing to take the initiative to learn about their medical conditions as well as change their lifestyles to a healthier one.
This really makes my job easier because it means that the patients are more compliant with the treatment options and play a more active role in their own disease management.
Patients who get my goat are...
Those who insist that there is a miracle drug that can cure their condition completely without the need for a healthy lifestyle.
Things that put a smile on my face are...
Seeing children recover from their illnesses and returning to their active and happy lives.
It breaks my heart when...
A sick child gets admitted to hospital and needs multiple injections or blood taking.
Although I know that I am treating the child via these procedures, it still pains me to see them cry, especially when I am the one who has to administer the procedures.
I wouldn't trade places for the world because...
I know I am making a difference in the lives of sick children when I heal and comfort them.
It is especially rewarding when I see a sick child recover and start running around once more. Very often, I will demand a hug or a kiss from the child.
My best tip...
Is to cultivate healthy eating habits from young. Parents should aim to be role models and make healthy diet choices in front of their young ones.
This way, children learn naturally from observing their parents and grow up making healthy choices for themselves without even realising it.
AGE: 34OCCUPATION: Consultant paediatrician at Raffles Children's Centre at Raffles Hospital
Dr Chu's desire to help sick children was sparked by an encounter when she was a third-year medical student with a 14-year-old girl who had spinal muscular atrophy, an incurable disease in which the muscles waste away.
The teenager's cheerful demeanour made all the medical students and nurses feel close to her, said Dr Chu.
Since then, Dr Chu has had numerous opportunities to witness how children "often exhibit the greatest courage in difficult times although they look fragile", she said.
She completed her sub-specialty training in paediatric gastroenterology and nutrition in Great Ormond Street Hospital and paediatric hepatology in Kings' College Hospital in London in 2010.
Last year, she completed her Diploma in Dermatology at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University Hospital.
She worked at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) for a decade before joining Raffles Hospital in March. She is currently a visiting consultant at KKH.
She also handles patients with problems specific to the digestive tract and those with feeding or nutritional issues.
She is married to a 34-year-old consultant dermatologist at the National Skin Centre. They have no children.

Hearts United for Alicia
Benefit Fundraiser as we come together to honor and support our dear friend,
Alicia Almanza
in her 21 year battle against Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.
Online Ticketing
Hearts United for Alicia Benefit Fundraiser
powered by
In October 1991, Alicia turned 19, after the birth of her daughter, and was diagnosed with a rare form of head and neck cancer known as Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (A.C.C.) which originated in her salivary gland. Alicia was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, where she attended St. Thomas More Grammar School and Mount Assisi High School. When her health permitted, Alicia worked within various medical and law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois including Holy Cross Hospital, Little Company of Mary Hospital, and as a 911 dispatcher for Evanston, Oak Lawn, Chicago, and the University of Chicago.
Despite Alicia's commitment to aggressively battle this debilitating disease over the past 21 years, Alicia's tumor has metastasized to her brain, lungs, cervical vertebrae, kidneys, and pelvic bone. Alicia has endured numerous surgeries, radiation treatments, chemo therapies, and clinical trials. She has had to plan her life around doctors visits, treatment sessions, scans, side effects, healing, and even travel to other states in search of a treatment to stop - or even slow - the growth of her tumors.
She takes an array of medications every day, often with debilitating side effects. They make the treatment seem almost as awful as the disease itself. Some days, she braces herself for the news she may receive from her latest monthly scans; she tries her best to recover and cope with the tragic news. Some days she rocks out to Bon Jovi, some days she curses the A.C.C. and swears that it's not her time - other days, she is not as sure. Lately, in the days that follow scan results, she tries to recover from and cope with that unhappy news. There are times when she reigns in all her inner strength so that she can help console her family and friends and tries to convince them that everything will be okay - one way or another.
Studies have indicated that more than one half of cancer patients have incurred debt which negatively impacts their focus and ability to recover. Alicia's friends and family have united their hearts to coordinate a benefit event not only to honor Alicia, but to alleviate some of her financial burden so she may focus on her health and treatment.
Please help us support Alicia by joining us on Sunday, May 5th, 2013 at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park, IL from 2:00pm to 7:00pm. Tickets are $35 per person. Please further consider making a donation and/or sponsoring the Benefit. We are accepting donations of any kind (raffle prizes, beverages, gifts, gift certificates, and monetary donations).
We thank you deeply for your generosity and support and look forward to seeing you on May 5th!

OBJECT OF THE MONTH – December 2009
Master CS (Cyrillus Schillberger ?): Hanukkah Lamp, Vienna, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1873
This silver bench Gothic Revival Hanukkah menorah (Heb. hanukkiah) was presumably donated to a congregation in the Moravian town of Prostějov [Ger. Prossnitz] by the children of Gabriel and Pearl Spitzer. It is a rare piece of craftsmanship from the Viennese silversmith Cyril Schillberger and a superb example of the Gothic Revival style (embellished with ogee arch, pinnacles, and traceries), which was far less common in Central European Jewish ceremonial art of the 19th century than other revival styles, such as Neo-Baroque.
On the menorah's back plate is a medallion garlanded with two olive branches held on each side by a heraldic lion (a widespread symbol in Judaism for the tribe of Judah). The medallion is topped by the crown of the Torah (Heb. keter Torah, symbolizing majesty and sovereignty) and bears the Hebrew dedicatory inscription:
menorat ha-kadosh[ah] ha-zot / nedavnu / l'zkhut nishamat avinu ha-tzaddik / mh"r [morenu ha-rav]/ gabriel brp"t [ben rabbi PT] spitzer / z"l [zikherono li-vrakhah] / ve-imanu ha-tzenu'ah m" [marat] perl n"a [nishmetah eden] / shenat / kumi ori ki ba orekh lp"k [li-frat katan]
We have dedicated this holy menorah to the merit of the soul of our righteous father, our teacher, master Gabriel son of the Rabbi P. T. Spitzer / of blessed memory / and our virtuous mother, lady Pearl, may her soul rest in Eden / in the year / 633 according to the small count [1873]
The dedication clearly indicates that the menorah was a gift made by the children to the memory of their deceased parents, Gabriel, the son of Rabbi P.T. (or P.D.) Spitzer (1772–July 31, 1856) and his wife Pearl (1788–March 19,1872). It was donated either directly to the Jewish community or to one of the Jewish associations in Prostějov, shortly after the death of Pearl, who survived her husband by sixteen years, which was their exact difference in age. Both lived to the age of eighty-four and were buried beside each other in Prostějov's old Jewish cemetery, where a number of prominent Jews from the town were laid to rest. The headstones, however, are not to be found. During the Second World War the cemetery was destroyed and the Nazis had all the headstones removed and turned the site into a military training ground. After the war it became a playground and later a school was built on the site, but the memory of those who had been buried there would have been entirely forgotten if it were not for the fact that the inscriptions on most of the headstones had been painstakingly documented and deposited in the archives of the Jewish Museum in Prague, where they are located today.
The story of Gabriel and Pearl's menorah is as dramatic as the fate of those headstones, yet its ending is certainly happier as it points us to the hope in spiritual survival. Like most of the ceremonial objects sent to Prague from the Jewish communities and associations of the Czech lands that were abolished immediately after Nazi Germany occupied Bohemia and Moravia on March 15, 1939, this Hanukkah menorah was saved, too, by being included in the Jewish Museum's collection.
Now nearly seventy years later, this menorah has been selected to once again shed its light to symbolize the victory of good over evil, freedom over oppression, knowledge over ignorance. On the sixth day of Hanukkah, which this year falls on Wednesday, December 16, six candles on the menorah will be lit during a special ceremony hosted at the White House by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, and First Lady, Michelle Obama. Around 500 guests are expected to attend.
Let us hope that its light will bring joy and enchantment as well as inspiration, that it transmits its appeal through the acrostic for the year 633, which on the menorah is composed by paraphrasing a line in the fifth stanza of the poem Lekha dodi (Come, my beloved) that is traditionally sung in synagogues around the world to welcome the Sabbath: "Rise up and shine, for your light has come."

Worried about sudden infant death syndrome? Here's how to help keep your baby safe (15 Photos)
Thomas Northcut/Stone/Getty Images
SIDS -- sudden infant death syndrome -- is a new mom's nightmare. A baby can die from SIDS during her sleep for no apparent reason. Though rare, it's the most common way that babies between 1 month and 12 months old die. The causes of SIDS are not understood -- some research shows that it may be caused by a brainstem abnormality; other studies suggest that genetic mutations and heart arrhythmias may play a role. The good news is, there are some proven ways to lower your baby's risk of SIDS. Here are the most up-to-date ways to keep your baby safe, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Overheating iPad suit dismissed
Shortly after the first iPad shipped last April, there were some allegations from users that the device overheated quickly in warm weather or direct sunlight. By July of 2010, three disgruntled iPad owners -- John Browning, Jacob Balthazar and Claudia Keller -- had filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple. Due to the alleged shut down problem from overheating, the trio stated that they felt that they had been taken in by Apple marketing claims that said that "reading on iPad is just like reading a book." Since books never overheat and shut down, the group accused Apple of fraud, deceptive advertising, and violating State of California consumer protection laws by producing, advertising and selling defective tablets.
Last Thursday, US District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel dismissed the lawsuit, saying that the trio's charges were "inadequate" and that they should have cited specific advertising where the claims of "reading on iPad is just like reading a book" were made. He's given the group 30 days to file an amended complaint with the information he's requested.
I don't know about you, but I have never thought that reading on an iPad is like reading a book. I don't have to charge a book, I don't have to turn a book on, and a book can't do other things (like play music in the background) while I'm reading it. Have you ever had your iPad overheat and shut down? If you have, let us know in the comments.
