Study: No widespread shortage of veterinarians
Veterinary presence needed in public health, agriculture, food safety
May 30, 2012
By: Jennifer Fiala
For The VIN News Service
The National Research Council of the National Academies released a book-length report today highlighting the job market for veterinarians as well as challenges facing academia, agriculture and public health sectors.
Four years in the making
Workforce Needs in Veterinary Medicine
spans 320 pages, taking an in-depth look at the economic issues universities deal with due to eroding state support, the questionable sustainability of skyrocketing tuition and the dwindling presence of veterinarians in agriculture and food safety.
During a webinar held to brief stakeholders and media on the study's findings, the chairman of an 18-member committee charged with conducting the study's research addressed why the project took so long to complete. It was
commissioned in 2006
by several major players in organized veterinary medicine, including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and initially was slated for release by fall 2008. The deadline was extended seven times.
Dr. Alan Kelly, committee chairman, likened the work to a "dramatically shifting target," noting that the study's original focus on zoonosis, bioterrorism and the premise that the nation would see a shortfall of 15,000 veterinarians by 2025, eventually shifted to the economic downturn's impact on the profession.
"The report became a continual work in progress," said Kelly, dean emeritus of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.
"Preparing the report was hard," he added, "as we found the databases in veterinary medicine confusing, incomplete, difficult to find and inconsistent, making it
difficult to draw long-term conclusions
The report cites a need for veterinarians to infiltrate public health, agriculture and food safety areas, however its authors retreated from the once-widely espoused notion that a large influx of veterinarians is needed in the United States, especially in the profession's most populated sector — companion animal practice.
"We found little evidence of widespread shortages, meaning that well-paying jobs are going unfilled," stated Malcolm Getz, an economist at Vanderbilt University and member of the committee responsible for producing the study.
"The sign of shortages are significant increases in earnings … and with the exception of industry, earnings are growing slowly if at all," Getz said during the webinar. "Salary levels are mismatched relative to educational investments."
Others presenting the report highlighted the abysmal state of funding for academia, which has lost much of its support from state legislatures in recent years and now more heavily leans on students via sharp tuition increases.
The impact of this not only weighs heavily on students, it forces programs to forgo hiring faculty, which leads to fewer grants and less research, said Dr. Bennie Osburn, dean emeritus of the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
"Some schools are at the point where they're now cutting programs," Osburn said during the presentation. "This puts a strain on … meeting standards of accreditation.
"Tuition costs increase because as state funds go away the cost of education is being passed on to students. The steep increases, however, have not made up for reductions in state funding," he added.
In response, Kelly presented several scenarios outlined in the report for lowering the cost of education, thereby easing the student loan burden for new veterinary graduates.
One idea he supports: Creating pre-veterinary medical school curricula that can be completed within one to two years of study rather than the four years of undergraduate work most widely expected by veterinary college admissions.
"In Britain we go from high school to veterinary school, and I've never understood why some very bright students in the U.S. need to first go to school for four years," said Kelly, who was educated at universities in the United Kingdom. "The overall cost and length of time before a person can capitalize on training … is an extreme burden for students and families."
Overall, the committee called for partnerships, resource sharing and collective action to strengthen the profession's foundations.
The report acknowledged the difficulties tied to balancing supply and demand — a key element to maintaining the economic sustainability of veterinary practice and education.
"Matching the supply of veterinarians to demand for veterinary expertise depends on the commitment of the profession to promote and develop diverse careers paths in veterinary medicine and on the efficient delivery of veterinary services," the report said.
Along with the AVMA, the study was funded by the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges, the American Animal Hospital Association, Bayer Animal Health and the Burroughs Welcome Fund.

Customer Reviews of EnGenius ESR9850 300Mbps Wireless N Router with Gigabit
Better than the name brands9/5/2010
I resisted the Linksys, Cisco, Belkin and DLink brands and feel this was the best performance and value. Yes, the documentation is tough to find even online but the way this router worked, the extra, stronger range and speed makes up for it. The only nagative would be that the lights on it are so bright I am thinking of covering them when someone uses the room where it is located to sleep, they do make a good nightlight but the flashing might seem obtrusive. Overall, a great product for a great price.
Good Router - Easy setup4/2/2010
I needed a Gigabit/Wirless n -type of router to replace the old 100Mb one. The ESR 9850 is an inexpensive and well performing product that integrated well with my current setup (Cable Modem, Gigabit switch, SIP, six computers).
Docsis 3.0 speed at a good price3/29/2010
I own three different routers before purchasing this one. The reason for my purchase was that my cable internet provider just upgraded their cable system to DOCSIS 3.0 and was offering 100MBPS Download speeds. I purchased the new service but my router couldnt handle the speeds. WRT54GS - 56Mbps, WRT54G2 - 70Mbps, WRV54G - 54Mbps. The ESR9850 - 112Mbps download speeds. My service is 110Mbps so I am finally getting full speeds from a router. The surprising fact is that this router seems to have all major features that a $100 dollar router would have. I have not had the router long this is only my initial impression.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Adamson resigns as Sheridan's mayor
Jan 6, 2014
News-Register Staff
SHERIDAN — City Manager Frank Sheridan announced at Monday night's special city council meeting that Mayor Val Adamson has resigned the position.
"I got a New Years card from him and in it he said he was resigning as the mayor," Sheridan told the council. "It was dated Jan. 2."
Adamson, the owner of Adamson's Sheridan Funeral Home and Green Crest Memorial Park, and a longtime civic leader in the West Valley community, was due to serve through the end of this year.
The council could take no action, such as accepting Adamson's resignation, because the announcement came at a special meeting, according to City Attorney Walt Gowell.
A discussion of Adamson's decision and the possible selection of a new mayor will take place when the council holds its regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.
Council President Harry Cooley will serve as acting mayor. He could be appointed to fill out Adamson's term at the regular meeting.
"I regret his decision," Cooley said. "He's been an excellent mayor. I'm going to miss his guidance."
Adamson did not attend the meeting and could not be reached afterward.

RELEASED: March 22, 2005
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host a series of events throughout April to recognize Native American Awareness Month.
"UW-Eau Claire's Native American Student Association decided this year to extend from one week to a full month our campus celebration of Native American history and culture," said Odawa White, retention coordinator in UW-Eau Claire's Office of Multicultural Affairs and NASA adviser. "The many activities planned this year are the result of the cooperative efforts of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Native American Student Association and faculty from our American Indian studies program."
The month-long celebration will begin with a traditional blessing ceremony featuring Gordon Thunder, a tribal elder and Ho-Chunk culture and language instructor. The ceremony will run from 10:30-11:30 a.m. April 1 in front of the Nursing Building at the base of the new Oak tree that was planted where the Council Oak Tree once stood.
A series of discussions, lectures and events are planned throughout the month, including:
The 2005 Honoring Education Pow-wow will begin at 11 a.m. April 23 in Zorn Arena. Native food and craft vendors will begin selling at 11 a.m. The Grand Entries are slated for 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., and the feast is planned for 5 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, which includes the feast.

I think the most important thing is to take care of yourself and relax.
Money can be so stressful. It's important, but it's much more important
to take care of yourself and your family.
I don't much about debt consolidation. But if it can get you a better interest rate
and make your monthly payment more bearable, then it sounds great.
Hang in there. Don't be too hard on yourself. You have bigger things
than money to take care of!
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 8:35am
Some suggestions for you...Have you been tracking all your spending? (Including pop at the vending machines at work, etc...). Try doing that for at least a month and that might give you a clearer picture of where there are some leaks. I know that you may feel you have already cut back a lot, etc... but I'm still always finding small places to cut back at.
Have you checked out the Snowflaking website....some good ideas in there, you didn't get into debt overnight and you won't get out of debt overnight. Baby steps. Some quotes I love are "You are not your debt" and "It's Only Money"...I believe those are from Jerry Mundis. http://pages.ivillage.com/cl-beckymk/snowflaking/
As for the consolidation loan, it all depends. Are you talking about a home equity loan? I'm not in favor of those because if you fall on hard times and things happen then you could lose your house. You have to be extremely disciplined and get rid of the credit cards if you do a consolidation loan because the problem is, unless you have curbed using the cards, etc... you run the risk of getting a consolidation loan and then running the cards back up and then you are in deeper than you were the first time around. It can be a nasty cycle.
Please continue to post for emotional support as you work your way out of debt.
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 2:47pm
We have a weekly check-in on Mondays. Try to be sure that you check-in then as well as posting often and becoming a part of our caring community. Please check out all the other Money boards as well. Many newbies find the Debt Questions and Answers Board to be an important source of information as they are starting out.
I urge you to visit http://www.quicken.com/planning/debt/ and use the Quicken Debt Reduction Planner to calculate how long it will take you to get out of debt with a reasonable payment plan. http://www.debtorsanonymous.org is a valuable website for understanding this affliction of compulsive debting. I have found http://www.flylady.net to be an important source of help for simplifying my life and dealing with the blues and a general sense of depression that I struggled with when deep in debt. And lastly I always ask people to check out http://www.cheapskatemonthly.com, Mary Hunt's website is a source of much helpful information and inspiration.
We are glad you joined our group! We welcome you with open arms and hope that you come back often.
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 9:34pm
I proud to say that I can handle our debt and will not have to go with a consolidation plan or even bankruptcy like I thought we would have to do.
After sitting down and taking control of our debt ( instead of it controlling me) I felt so much better and releved. I took my 2 year down to the park and we had a wonderful time playing. It was so nice to relax with him and enjoy our time together.
Thanks so much for listening to me cry and offering your support!
Have a great evening everyone!

Update 4/11: The ERDAS folks called me to explain the tag line. Apparently, it's a very shorted version of this idea on the company website:
At ERDAS, we help organizations harness the information of the changing earth for greater advantage, by creating geospatial business systems that transform our earth's data into business information. We are The Earth to Business Company.
I fear it lost too much in the compressed version for me. I do have to give the company credit for grabbing ownership of "geospatial business system."
—- original post 4/8/08———
Got a very clever e-mail from Leica Geosysetms to launch its rebranding as ERDAS. You'll likely get it too: shot of the earth with a name tag saying, "Hello, my name is ERDAS." Well done! I'm still working to get "the earth to business company" tag.

Virgin review shows that no account is sacrosanct
As the seemingly prosaic (but supposedly significant) Smart Meter Central Delivery Body was apparently sending gifts of Guinness, Red Bull, crisps and biscuits to the four agency consortiums that it had selected to pitch for the £85 million ad business, Virgin Atlantic was serving up less welcome fare to Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R.
By all accounts, the news that the business was going up for pitch came as something of a shock to the incumbent agency. And given its unbroken 20-year relationship and history of exceptional and distinctive work that defined the brand under Mark Roalfe's careful stewardship, you can understand the dismay both internally and externally.
If RKCR/Y&R moulded the Virgin Atlantic proposition, then the opposite is also true – as Roalfe wrote last year of winning the brief back in 1994: "Virgin defined us. Naughty client equalled naughty agency." But you could argue that the true extent of its irreverence has only just become apparent.
If there is any lesson to be learned, then it is that no client relationship is ever assured and that great work doesn't leave room for complacency – although I'm not suggesting that there was any in this instance. Wholesale management change at a client needs extra attention and love, no matter how successful the partnership has been to date. And much like CHI & Partners, which was made to jump through hoops to retain Argos after the arrival of a new marketing director, despite its success on the business, there is widespread sympathy for RKCR/Y&R.
Not for the first time this year, an advertising review has put an ill-deserved dampener on an agency's year
Obviously, no agency is sympathetic enough to rule itself out of the process – Creativebrief, the intermediary involved, has thrown it open to all comers, of which only a handful are surely qualified to participate. But, then, for Creativebrief to land a pitch of this size is also a significant milestone that means it has made an impression on this already well-supplied market. It is therefore understandable that the intermediary wants to use this juiciest of bones as a new-business tool to encourage agencies to sign up and pay for its services.
Some consolation for RKCR/Y&R must lie in the tacit acknowledgement of the shop's significant contribution in Creativebrief's agency briefing note, which revealed that Virgin Atlantic had a "strong reputation for outstanding creativity and this is something [it] is enormously proud and fiercely protective of. This must remain at the heart of everything [it does] in the future."
But – and not for the first time this year – a review has put an ill-deserved dampener on an agency's year (and RKCR/Y&R was just beginning to build a head of steam), forcing the shop to focus money and resource on retaining the business. A little bit of me hopes that natural justice prevails and the account doesn't move anywhere.

Sparkling Mango Margarita with Kombucha… A Festive Raw Cocktail With a Double Kick!
Posted by: Angela Leeds In: *LGS Daily Recipe|Drinks
Kombucha goes great in raw cocktails, and I'm particularly fond of pairing it with Black Medallion dark tequila. Dark tequila contributes it's own reputed "medicinal vibe" and delicious flavor, and Kombuch adds a champagne-like sparkle and zesty tang. Add some fresh mango and a bit of orange peel and fresh orange juice and… it's a lovely festive raw cocktail for weekend kicking back.
Recipe for: Sparkling Mango Margarita with Kombucha
A Festive Raw Cocktail With a Double Kick!
- flesh from 1 mango
- juice from 1 orange
- 1/2 to 1″ piece of fresh orange peel (don't include any of the white pith)… use the larger amount if you really like the orangey flavor of Triple Sec used in margaritas
- 1-1/2 cups dark tequila (Jose Cuervo "Black Medallion" is what I use)
- 1 cup or so Kombucha, any flavor (I had guava and ginger flavored on hand, but most any kind will work nicely)
- 2 cups ice
Blend all ingredients except the Kombucha in the blender. Then stir in the Kombucha afterwards (it would overflow violently if you try to blend it).
Pour out into margarita glasses and enjoy!

Sprout Kingdom
Hurrah for the internet! I've started buying a lot more children's clothing from overseas sites lately. The wow factor of something not seen on every other child in the park, plus, recently, less prohibitive shipping costs are what attracts me to places like Lindex and Danefae and I've just discovered another destination – Sprout Kingdom.
Based in the Netherlands, the store stocks two of my favourite labels – the deliciously retro Danish brand AlbaBaby (check these divine dungarees, €52.95, above) and eternally funky Swedish Plastisock – in addition to its own signature organic cotton collection (think vintage-look print dresses, top, and vibrant leggings).
I'm also loving the star-patterned wet weather gear from Ducksday, SaWaDi Holland's simple Thai-inspired frocks and the bold motif tees from Ietje Company, €24.95 (above). Shipping to the UK is €8.50.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.

Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: HOUSTON—Researchers from Rice University unveiled a new multi-antenna technology that could help wireless providers keep pace with the voracious demands of data-hungry smartphones and tablets. The technology aims to dramatically increase network capacity by allowing cell towers to simultaneously beam signals to more than a dozen customers on the same frequency.
Details about the new technology, dubbed Argos, were presented at the Association for Computing Machinery's MobiCom 2012 wireless research conference in Istanbul. Argos is under development by researchers from Rice, Bell Labs and Yale University. A prototype built at Rice this year uses 64 antennas to allow a single wireless base station to communicate directly to 15 users simultaneously with narrowly focused directional beams.
Thanks to the growing popularity of smartphones and other data-hungry devices, the demand for mobile data is expected to grow 18-fold within the next five years. To meet demand, wireless carriers are scrambling to boost network capacity by installing more wireless base stations and shelling out billions of dollars for the rights to broadcast on additional frequencies.
In tests at Rice, Argos allowed a single base station to track and send highly directional beams to more than a dozen users on the same frequency at the same time. The upshot is that Argos could allow carriers to increase network capacity without acquiring more spectrum.
"The technical term for this is multi-user beamforming," said Argos project co-leader Lin Zhong, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and of computer science at Rice. "The key is to have many antennas, because the more antennas you have, the more users you can serve."
Zhong said the theory for multi-user beamforming has been around for quite some time, but implementing technology has proven extremely difficult. Prior to Argos, labs struggled to roll out prototype test beds with a handful of antennas.
"There are all kinds of technical challenges related to synchronization, computational requirements, scaling up and wireless standards," he said. "People have really questioned whether this is practical, so it's significant that we've been able to create a prototype that actually demonstrates that this works."
Argos presents new techniques that allow the number of antennas on base stations to grow to unprecedented scales. The Argos prototype, which was built by Rice graduate student Clayton Shepard, uses an array of 64 antennas and off-the-shelf hardware — including several dozen open-access test devices called WARP boards that were invented at Rice's Center for Multimedia Communications. In tests, Argos was able to simultaneously beam signals to as many as 15 users on the same frequency. For wireless carriers, that performance would translate to more than a six-fold increase in network capacity. Zhong said the base-station design can be scaled up to work with hundreds of antennas and several dozen concurrent users, which would result in much higher capacity gains.
"There's also a big payoff in energy savings," Shepard said. "The amount of power you need for transmission goes down in proportion to the number of antennas you have. So in Argos' case, we need only about one-sixty-fourth as much energy to serve those 15 users as you would need with a traditional antenna."
Zhong and Shepard said Argos is at least five years away from being available on the commercial market. It would require new network hardware and a new generation of smartphones and tablets. It might also require changes in wireless standards. Those are big hurdles, but Zhong said the potential benefits of multi-user beamforming technology make it a very likely next big step for the wireless industry.
"The bandwidth crunch is here, and carriers need options," Zhong said. "They're going to pay close attention to any new technologies that may allow them to serve more customers with fewer resources."
Research co-authors include Hang Yu and Narendra Anand, both of Rice; Li Erran Li and Tom Marzetta, both of Bell Labs; and Yang Richard Yang of Yale University. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, Bell Labs, Alcatel Lucent and the Air Force Office of Sponsored Research.

POSTED: 7:17 AM Sep 24 2013 UPDATED: 10:10 AM Sep 24 2013
A new poll done by the Washington Post shows Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the lead in the race.
He leads 47 percent to Republican Ken Cuccinelli's 39 percent among likely voters. Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis holds 10 percent of the vote.
Ken Cuccinelli has accused McAuliffe and other Democrats of waging a war on coal but according to this poll, he trails by nine points among voters who were asked who they trust more on energy and the environment.
Cuccinelli is tied with McAuliffe on issues of transportation and the economy

Hurricane Sandy is currently off the South Carolina coast moving northerly up the East Coast, and slated to make landfall somewhere along the Mid-Atlantic coast on Monday as a hurricane or tropical storm. Because of Sandys large size, Massachusetts is still likely to experience damaging winds and associated widespread power outages, and moderate to major coastal flooding along the east and south facing coastlines. Two to five inches of rain are expected from Sunday night to Wednesday. The extent of these impacts will depend on the storm's exact track.

In the scam, the man allegedly claiming to be a Middlesex Sheriff's Office deputy working on behalf of group named "American Cash" and with an out of state law firm tells the person being called he, or she, will be arrested if they do not wire money to a specific bank. The call might appear to be coming from a legitimate sheriff's office number, but it is not.
"We want citizens to be aware of this scam so they can properly protect themselves," said Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian. "These are not legitimate calls. Arrests performed by the Civil Process Division deputies are done in person, never over the phone and the individual is brought to court to resolve the matter."
The law group, who also appears to be a victim of this scam, has already posted a warning on its website regarding the scam.
The MSO is advising citizens that receive similar calls that they should not give any personal information to the caller and should immediately report the call to their local law enforcement agency. We also ask that you contact the Middlesex Sheriff's Office Investigation Unit at 978-932-3104.
A motor vehicle was stolen from a Main Street residence on Thursday morning. This vehicle was located in Fitchburg on Friday night. The vehicle was unlocked and the keys were left inside.

On October 19th paving will begin. Residents will have access but with delays.
The female resident was recently involved in a breaking and entering where she returned home and found a male party in her residence.
She wrote "I can't think of words to say how grateful I am for all your help". "A special thanks to Officers Brian Vautour and John Dillon". "You all make a huge difference in Ashby and my life".
The suspect was identified and an arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect for several felony charges.

Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds - 188.5 tons - of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds - nearly 500 tons - of pills.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines - flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash - both pose potential safety and health hazards.
Four days after the first event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an "ultimate user" of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents' controlled substances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like Ashby Police Department and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

The letter went on to state "Your calm and reassuring demeanor as you kept me on the line while you guided the EMTs to our property and then down through the woods to the pond, relieved a truly worrisome situation". "We continue to appreciate your expertise in getting us through a unique rescue".
Crews worked for approximately an hour to extricate the sole occupant from the vehicle. The operator was transported by ambulance to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester with serious injuries.

The letter thanked Patrolman Derek Pepple for his "kindness" when he responded to the medical call. The letter went on to stated that (Patrolman Pepple) "has often carried a stern countenance, which I am sure is necessary many times, but this time was different". "He seemed genuine and professionally caring, traits that are necessary in police work".
The Ashby Police Department would like to thank Mrs. Bowen and her students for the kind words.
"We remember so many tragedies, and we remember those individuals who lost their lives in large part because of the failure of our criminal justice system," said Senator Bruce Tarr, a long-time supporter of the habitual offender bill targeting sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence and dangerous weapon possession. "I think everyone is engaged in a good faith effort," Tarr said. "What I am concerned about is all of those good intentions and efforts could be rendered moot by the clock."

Today marks a painful, yet necessary, reminder of our preeminent responsibility to the community and each other. On June 27, 2000, Molly Anne Bish was tragically abducted from her life guard post at Comins Pond in Warren, MA. This unthinkable heartbreak ended the young and innocent life of a sixteen year old girl and shook our collective belief in the safety of our children. On May 30, 2012, Missing Children's Day, 42 young children and their families were remembered and their abruptly shortened lives honored at a State House Ceremony. It is essential that out of these terrible events, we are able to redirect our pain and sorrow to provide hope and a memorable legacy.
The Bish family, along with Anna Maria College, has committed to ensuring their family's tragedy is transformed into a positive and hopeful message of proactively protecting all our children. Anna Maria College established the Molly Bish Center in 2004 to enhance its own mission of community engagement and service through education and trainings. The Center provides every individual an opportunity to participate and fulfill a responsibility to contribute to this endeavor.
Please take a moment today to remember Molly Bish. A vigil will be held tonight at 7:00 pm in Warren, MA at the town common gazebo. Please also commit some action or activity to help the Center in some small way. It is the sum of our collective actions and not one single achievement that will make a difference beyond measure. Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, tell a friend about the Center, or simply connect with us in some way. We need all of your prayers and participation in this important work. Anna Maria College and the Molly Bish Center are making a difference because of all of you.
With appreciation, Jay Gardiner Director

"We called the Statehouse and found that this is in fact a fundraiser that the American Legion is doing directly from the Statehouse and the monies go to the Legion in Boston.

A spokesperson for the Ashby American Legion has reported that they are not currently doing any fund raising. The Ashby Police Department would caution anyone wishing to donate in this manner.
Through federal highway safety grant funding, the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security's Highway Safety Division has been successfully implementing the annual "Click It or Ticket" initiative since 2002. Over the past 7 years, Click It or Ticket initiatives have helped increase safety belt usage in Massachusetts from 51% in 2002 to 74% in 2009. During the same period, fatalities involving non-restrained (belted) vehicle occupants dropped significantly from 57% of crash fatalities to 23%.
Massachusetts law requires all occupants to be properly restrained by safety belts when riding in a private passenger motor vehicle, including vans and trucks.

The Memorial Service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement. Decades later, the event, more commonly known as National Police Week, has grown to a series of events which attracts thousands of survivors and law enforcement officers to our Nation's Capital each year.
The National Peace Officers' Memorial Service, which is sponsored by the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, is one in a series of events which includes the Candlelight Vigil, which is sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) and seminars sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).
National Police Week draws in between 25,000 to 40,000 attendees. The attendees come from departments throughout the United States as well as from agencies throughout the world. This provides a unique opportunity to meet others that share a common brotherhood. In that spirit, the Fraternal Order of Police DC Lodge #1 sponsors receptions each afternoon and evening during Police Week. These events are open to all law enforcement personnel and are an experience unlike any other.

Telecommunicators (also known as dispatchers, 911 operators, or police/fire signal operators) are the heroes behind the scenes when need emergency assistance. The telecommunicator's job involves more than just answering the telephone. They are responsible for obtaining basic call information, dispatching appropriate resources, and if the call is for medical assistance they are trained in giving certain pre-arrival instructions. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), control bleeding techniques, or even child birth instructions are just a few things they are trained in.
The telecommunicators have saved lives, helped apprehend criminals and provided reassurances to callers. Working long hours, day and night, 365 days a year, in good and bad weather, and these telecommunicators do an incredible job all the while maintaining a professional demeanor.
The MCSA would like to thank the telecommunicators and staff for their continued dedication, hard work, ability to multi-task, and help the responding units and public while maintaining a cool demeanor. For more information about National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, visit www.ma911.org.

What a resource your office provided the Town of Ashby! The crew you sent to Town Hall was efficient, polite and diligent. Under the competent direction of Officer Dan Poirier, they were able to accomplish such a great deal in a short period of time.
The overall benefit to the Town of Ashby was tremendous. Not only was the crew able to tackle a big project in patching and painting the walls and ceilings in my office; they were able to refinish the floors and woodwork as well. I need to point out that this space is the size of an old classroom (25ft.x 35ft.) with 12 foot ceilings. Continuing to work efficiently, they patched and painted the Selectmen's meeting room, the Town Administrator Assistant's office and the ceiling of an entrance. They even replaced the vinyl tiles on the floor of the Town Hall elevator and an entire wall of corkboard in the Collector's office. Their work made a positive and dramatic difference at Town Hall and saved the taxpayers of Ashby thousands of dollars.
I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the attention and project coordination provided by ADS II Chris Green, ADS Corey Turner and Officer Heidi Ricci. All the people who worked on this project represented you and the office of Middlesex County Sheriff well.
With sincere thanks and appreciation,
Edward J. Drew Chief of Police Ashby Police Department
On Saturday afternoon (03/03/2012) Dispatcher Whitney received a 911 call from a Greenville Road resident advising that a vehicle crashed into her mailbox and ended up on her front lawn. When her husband approached the occupants of the vehicle they fled the scene.

Please accept this donation and thank the two officers, who assisted me, I'm sorry I didn't get their names.
Best of the holiday to you all, Kathy Preble Brownville, Maine

- "When I grow up, I'm gonna be an Assassin, that way I can help lots of children, Just like you!"
- ―Aventus Aretino[src]
Aventus Aretino is a Nord child in Windhelm found in the home of his deceased parents. When found, he is performing the Black Sacrament, hoping to contact the Dark Brotherhood. Desiring the death of Grelod the Kind for mistreating her charges at Honorall Orphanage, he asks the Last Dragonborn to fulfill the contract. If successful, he gives them the Aretino Family Heirloom.
Aventus lost his mother Naalia when he was about 10 years old; the fate of his father is unknown. Since he had no one else to care for him, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak sent him to Riften to live at the Honorhall Orphanage. At the orphanage, he developed a strong hatred for the headmistress Grelod the Kind, who, despite her name, was extremely cruel to him and the other children. Aventus escaped from the orphanage and returned to the now-deserted house in the middle of Windhelm where he had lived with his mother when she was alive. When the Dragonborn encounters him, he is attempting to contact the Dark Brotherhood by performing the Black Sacrament.
In the Dragonborn's travels a rumor is heard about a child in Windhelm that is trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood. This rumor can be heard from multiple sources, including innkeepers and guards. Upon hearing this rumor, the miscellaneous quest, "Talk to Aventus Aretino" begins. Upon reaching the Aretino Residence, a child, Grimvar Cruel-Sea, can be seen asking Idesa Sadri if it's true that Aventus is trying to perform the Black Sacrament. Idesa tells him that this is nonsense, but when Grimvar says that he's going to go ask Aventus to play she quickly admits the lie and begs him not to approach Aventus.
Upon entering the house, the Dragonborn finds a macabre scene, as the Aretino boy chants the prayer to the Night Mother over and over while stabbing an effigy made up of human parts. If the Dragonborn waits it becomes chillingly apparent that the boy has been performing the ritual for a great deal of time; but undaunted he continues to stab his home-made effigy of Grelod, as he pleads for the Night Mother's help. No matter what is said, Aventus is sure that the Dragonborn has come to fulfill the contract if he is spoken to, and the quest Innocence Lost begins.
With Hearthfire, it is not possible for him to be adopted, even if all requirements for adopting a child have been met.
- "When I grow up, I'm gonna be an Assassin, that way I can help lots of children, Just like you!"
- "Really, I mean, I knew the Dark Brotherhood was good... just not that good! You killed the old hag before I even asked!" (if Grelod is killed before talking to him)
- "I'll go back to the Orphanage in a while. I'll give them time to, you know... clean up the mess."
- "Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear." (repeatedly, until the Dragonborn interacts with him)
- "I'm so tired..." (between bouts of praying and stabbing)
- "You came to visit! So much better now that Grelod's gone, thanks to you!" (this one only appears if another Aretino spawns in the orphanage)
- "No! It's not supposed to work like that!" (if the Dragonborn attacks him before talking to him.)
- Despite being a Nord, Aventus is sometimes referred to as an Imperial by others, as his name is constructed like an Imperial one.
