NAMI Names Andrew Sperling Deputy Executive Director For Public Policy
For Immediate Release, October 18, 2000
Contacts: Farrell Fitch, Sciens Worldwide Communications, (202) 452-6500
Arlington, VA-Laurie Flynn, executive director of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), today announced the appointment of Andrew Sperling as deputy executive director for public policy.
Since 1996, Sperling has served as NAMI's key legislative advocate on Capitol Hill, working on issues such as federal parity legislation, housing policy, and the Work Incentives Act, which eliminated barriers to recovery under the Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. He now will head NAMI's public policy department, succeeding E. Clarke Ross, who will be leaving to become chief executive officer of Children & Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), Inc., effective November 13, 2000.
"NAMI is profoundly grateful to Clarke Ross for his leadership over the last two years," Flynn said. "We also are delighted to appoint Andrew Sperling to succeed him. He is highly regarded inside NAMI, throughout the country, and in Washington for his energy, dedication, and effectiveness. His promotion is a natural, easy decision."
From 1990 to 1994, Sperling served as legislative assistant to former U.S. Representative Dick Swett (D-NH). Before joining NAMI, he was deputy director for government relations for the National Community Mental Healthcare Council.
A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Sperling graduated from Tulane University in 1983. He later earned a masters degree from George Washington University and a law degree from Franklin Pierce Law Center. He is a member of the Virginia bar.

This month, Pharm Exec magazine presents its Brand of the Year. Here, Brittany Agro profiles one of the runners-up, Amgen's osteoporosis treatment, Prolia.
A joint meeting of the European Calcified Tissue Society and the International Bone and Mineral Society, held June 2005 in Geneva, Switzerland, revealed promising developments for more effective treatments in bone heath—specifically geared toward the "silent epidemic," osteoporosis.
Five years later, on June 1, 2010, the FDA approved Amgen's Prolia (denosumab), the first biologic medication for treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture.
This decision came one year after the Agency originally delayed the drug's approval. The reason cited: Amgen needed to show a new clinical program to support approval of the drug's prevention indication.
They didn't waste any time.
Commitment to Safety, Achievement
The company, with FDA's aid, quickly developed a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to help patients understand the drug's risks. The REMS included a communication plan for healthcare providers and a medication guide for patients, comprehensive post-marketing surveillance, and a post marketing Active Safety Surveillance Program to monitor the long-term safety of Prolia. In addition, Amgen set up a surveillance program to monitor more than 4,500 women who already were taking the drug.
And that's just the beginning of a march forward. With these improvements came honorable mentions.
Not only was Prolia named one of Time magazine's Top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2009 but it also won the Best New Drug award at the 2010 Scrip Awards. The Scrip judges highlighted Prolia's efficacy in reducing fractures and dosing regimen.
A Bona Fide Answer to Osteoporosis
A scientific journey that started more than 15 years ago, Prolia is administered as an injective every six months to reduce risk of fracture at the spine, hip, and other sites. Normally, the body is charged to break down and rebuild bone as needed. Low estrogen levels in postmenopausal women unbalance this process in favor of bone breakdown. Prolia halts this process.
During its three-year study, 7,808 postmenopausal women ages 60 to 91 were put on a trial. The study (funded by Amgen) concluded Prolia reduced the incidence of vertebral, non-vertebral, and hip fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
It should be noted that Prolia isn't the first injectable osteoporosis drug, however. It's a new type. Two bisphosphonate medications, Reclast and Boniva, are also delivered intravenously. Forteo and Miacalcin, require self-injections.
For patients intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapies, Prolia is the only FDA-approved RANK ligand inhibitor, an essential regulator of osteoclasts (the cells that break down bone)—and its sales are soaring as a result. The drug generated $9.95 million in sales from launch through September 2010, according to IMS Health.
Connecting Globally
The total direct medical cost of osteoporosis in Europe has been estimated at more than €36 billion annually, and is expected to increase to €76.7 billion in 2050. In May 2010, Prolia was granted marketing authorization in the EU—perhaps one of the more significant unique selling points of the drug. It is the first and only approved treatment in Europe for bone loss due to hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer.
Prolia's European approval in all 27 EU member states, as well as Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, led to the first approval of the product worldwide.
Only time will tell how the drug impacts patients who are seeking long-term relief. For now, Prolia is representing promising efforts of science—and pharma is standing proudly behind it.

Collaborative learning and shared wisdom is an ancient tradition among Rosicrucians, and this is manifested in two ongoing series at Rosicrucian Park. Two current series continue this tradition at Rosicrucian Park:
· On the second Tuesday of each month, members and the public gather in the Pronaos (lobby) of the Grand Temple at 7:30 pm for the Rosicrucian Salons, a series of lectures, discussions and workshops on topics ranging from mystical symbolism to the history of the Delphic Oracle to Ecology and the Holy Grail.
On the first Saturday of each month members and the public come together in the Rosicrucian Research Library at 10:30 am to discuss a book chosen the month before in the Rosicrucian Book Club.
Inspiration for the Salons comes from the 19th century Salons de Rose-Croix conducted by Joséphin Péladan, a Rosicrucian of that era. Artists, scholars, musicians and esoteric seekers gathered for these exhibitions, sharing the best of what they could offer, to inspire all. For more information on the history of these 19th century Salons, Rosicrucian historian Christian Rebisse provides an enlightening introductory essay on this fascinating period.
Here at Rosicrucian Park, these two Salon series complement the Park's many other public activities, including the monthly Museum Lectures, Artistic exhibits in the Museum's Lecture Gallery, classes, meditations, star shows, etc. A full schedule of thee public events may be found at our calendar. A key element of our Rosicrucian Salons is the concept that we all bring information, experience and insight about the topics discussed, and for true learning to occur, these must be shared with all. The wisdom of the group is facilitated by a lecturer or leader who is familiar with the subject matter.
Please join us for these opportunities for collaborative learning!

MasterCard and Visa stepped up their rivalry with PayPal this month, with expansions of their own digital wallet initiatives and the threat of raising fees for third-party merchant processors. According to published news reports, the moves come as PayPal has ventured into point-of-sale transactions at physical checkout counters while offering customers lines of credit through its BillMeLater subsidiary.
eBay, PayPal's parent company, saw its stock value decline by over 10 percent after a February regulatory filing warning shareholders of potential fallout from future processing surcharges. In an investor note, analysts Bill Carcache and Brian Nowak of Nomura Equity Research advised clients that MasterCard's planned June rollout of new digital wallet surcharges would ensure proper compensation for use of the payment network.
MasterCard powering loyalty programs with its own digital wallet
In an interview with financial trade publication PYMNTS.com, MasterCard spokesman Nandan Mer said that his company focuses on loyalty among consumers, merchants, and card issuers. Mer outlined plans that would enable MasterCard to track merchants' and banks' own customer loyalty programs more effectively, without the need to engage third-party processing platforms.
The payment platform aims to accomplish some of these goals by rolling out MasterPass, a proprietary digital wallet service that works both online and in physical retail stores. Canadians get a first look at the service when it launches there this spring, followed by a rollout in Australia before its United States release. MasterCard officials have told reporters and analysts that the program supports "omnichannel sales experiences" that combine online transactions with real-world interactions.
Visa's V.me has already launched in the United States, but on a bank-by-bank basis through partners such as PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Pentagon Federal Credit Union. Like Google Wallet and PayPal, Visa's digital wallet solution stores credit card details on a secure server and passes a token to online merchants instead of a raw account number.

ACT Math: The Basics of Lines & Angles
Need better scores in Geometry? This quick review will tell you everything you need to know about Geometry basics! These are the essential building blocks for ACT Math success.
An angle is formed by two lines or line segments which intersect at one point. The point of intersection is called the vertex. Angles are measured in either degrees or radians.
Challenge yourself with adaptive solo practice sessions on Grockit.
A circle has 360 degrees total. You might see in your online studying questions involving radians, and some test questions will ask you to convert radians to degrees. To convert from degrees to radians, multiply by π/180. To convert from radians to degrees multiply by 180/π.
An acute angle is an angle whose measurement in degrees is between 0 and 90. A right angle is an angle whose measurement in degrees is exactly 90. An obtuse angle is an angle whose degree measure is between 90 and 180. A straight angle is an angle whose degree measure is exactly 180 degrees.
All of the angles on one side of a straight line sum to 180 degrees.
a + b + c = 180 degrees
All of the angles around one point must sum to 360 degrees.
a + b + c + d + e = 360 degrees
Perpendicular lines are formed when the angle between two lines is 90 degrees. The shortest distance from a point to a line is a line with a length such that the two lines form a 90 degree angle.
Two angles are supplementary if they share one line; i.e., if they sum of their angles is 180 degrees. Two angles are complementary if together they make a right angle; i.e., if the sum of their angles is 90 degrees.
To bisect an angle means to cut it in half. The two smaller angles will then have the same measurement.
If two parallel lines intersect with a third line, the third line is called a transversal. When this happens, all acute angles are equal and all obtuse angles are equal. Each acute angle is supplemental to each obtuse angle.
x and y are parallel lines, and z is the transversal
a = d = e = h
c = b = g = f
Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. For the figure, a and d is an example of a pair of vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal.
For more practice, use a Solo Practice session on Grockit to solely focus on your Geometry skills and work at your own pace. Once you're comfortable with lines and angles, message one of the Grockit tutors to set up a private lesson to review Coordinate Geometry!

News Summary: BHP Annual Profit Down 35 Pct.
The Associated Press
COMMODITIES CRUNCH: BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest miner, said its annual profit plunged more than a third as a slowdown in global economic growth led to weaker prices for key commodities.
SHAKY GROUND: In the short-term, BHP expects more volatility in commodity markets amid weakness in manufacturing and construction. In the medium term it expects supportive economic policy and a broad growth, particularly in China.
DIG DELAY: BHP will delay a plan for a massive $30 billion expansion of its Olympic Dam uranium and copper mine in southern Australia.

"The Oil Is Not Gone": BP Tries to Block Gulf Residents from Shareholder Meeting
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Editor's note: Antonia Juhasz will appear on Democracy Now! today to discuss her experience at the BP shareholder meeting.
"There's no way BP will deny us access. They'd be insane to do so. For one thing, they'd be breaking the law. For another, it would be the public relations equivelant of Tony Hayward's 'I want my life back' debacle in response to the oil spill. Shutting Gulf Coast residents out of the first shareholder meeting since the Gulf oil disaster? Ridiculous."
I don't know how many times I said those words and to how many reporters in the week leading up to BP's annual shareholder meeting in London on April 14. I also could not have been more wrong. Five Gulf Coast residents made the long trek to London to attend the meeting, and five Gulf Coast residents were denied entry.
I traveled to London for BP's first annual meeting since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, 2010 and the subsequent 210 million gallon oil gusher.
I joined Gulf Coast residents directly harmed by the disaster and leaders of the communities within which they live and work: Tracy Kuhns, Mike Roberts, Byron Encalade, Diane Wilson, and Bryan Parras. I came because I had written a book about the disaster in which all five played a part. We came to ensure that BP's disaster in the Gulf would not be forgotten and to hold BP to account for its devastating and ongoing failures that led to, perpetuated, and compounded the tragedy.
A BP shareholder had given each a proxy, granting them the legal right to take that shareholders place in the meeting.
We had no illusion that BP was unaware of who we were or why we were there. We wanted them to know. In countless interviews that week, the Gulf Coast residents made their concerns well known to BP and the public: the oysters are not back, the shrimp are not back, their people are sick from oil and dispersant, they have no idea when life will get back to normal, and neither BP nor the federal government's Kenneth Fienberg have paid the necessary cliams on which the Gulf Coast community is supposed to live. In fact, of the hundreds of thousands of claims filed by Gulf residents who have lost income as a result of the disaster, less than 40% have even been processed, much less paid out.
"We came to deliver the message that BP needs to take responsibility for the drilling disaster," said Tracy Kuhns, a fisherwoman from Barataria, Louisiana and Director of Louisiana Bayoukeeper. "The oil is not gone. Dead wildlife are washing up on our shores by the hundreds. Entire livelihoods are in peril."
At a teach-in organized by the UK Tar Sands Network on April 12, Tracy's husband, shrimper Mike Roberts, brought audience members to tears when he shared the story of the first time he encountered BP's oil. Within miles of heading out from a boat from his backyard, Roberts and his son found themselves encircled in oil and unable to find a path out. Roberts heart broke as he realized the extent of the damage to his beloved Bayou and as he feared for the health and future of his son.
Byron Encalade is the President of the Louisiana Oystermen Association and a leader of African-American and minority oyster fishermen. "I came to London to represent the poor fishers of my community," Encalade told a BBC radio audience. "I have twelve families that directly depend on my own business. They, and the rest of our community, have not worked nor received claims on which to live since BP's disaster struck." Diane Wilson, a fourth-generation shrimper from the Texas Gulf Coast and a founding member of Code Pink Women for Peace came to London to present the 2010 Black Planet award to BP's new CEO, Bob Dudley, in person. Bryan Parras, a Gulf Coast Fund Advisor with the Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services, (t.e.j.a.s.), came to tell of the impacts of oil operations on his Houston community and to support the rest of the group.

"It is President Aquino's bad policies which caused his ratings to drop, not the media or lack of publicity," Kabataan Rep. Raymond 'Mong' Palatino said.
"Nais kong ibahagi na kaysarap sa pakiramdam kung lahat ng pinaghirapan mo noong ikaw ay isang estudyante ay nakikita mo na ang mga magagandang bagay na ibinubunga nito ngayon."
"Ang buhay-estudyante ay minsan lang daraan sa buhay ng isang tao. Sa panahong mabigyan tayo ng pagkakataong makapag-aral, huwag sana nating sayangin."
"After the announcement of the Supreme Court that 982 out of 4,847 passed the 2010 bar exams, Kabataan Party-list Rep. Raymond 'Mong' Palatino urged the country's new lawyers to 'be of service to the rights and welfare of the people by not being a Merceditas Gutierrez.'"

Editorial Reviews: SynopsisMETAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory by focusing on delivering an all-new action experience unlike anything that has come before. Combining world-class development teams at Kojima Productions and Platinum Games, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE brings two of the world's most respected teams together with a common goal of providing players with a fresh synergetic experience that combines the best elements of pure action and epic storytelling, all within the expansive MG universe. The game introduces Raiden as the central character; a child soldier transformed into a half-man, half-machine cyborg ninja, equipped with a high-frequency katana blade and a soul fueled by revenge. In the near future, cyborg technology has become commonplace throughout society. Three years have passed since the collapse of the Patriots system that had been secretly controlling the global power balance from the shadows. However, peace remains elusive. The dissemination of cybernetic technology has triggered instability and conflict as those who control the trade gain increasing power. Furthermore, large 'Private Military Companies', or PMC's, that had been supported and controlled by the Patriots have collapsed, spawning countless rogue entities with origins to larger criminal organizations. These renegade PMCs employing cyborg technology have become increasingly more disruptive shifting policy and power at will. As a member of the peace-keeping PMC 'Maverick Security', Raiden lives by the mantra of protecting and saving lives. But as the world plunges further into asymmetric warfare, the only path that leads him forward is rooted in resolving his past, and carving through anything that stands in his way.

NEW YORK — A lifeguard widely praised as a hero after Superstorm Sandy for rescuing neighbors endangered by rolling floodwaters and a fire that destroyed several homes died Sunday in a surfing accident in Puerto Rico.
The death of Dylan Smith, 23, brought sadness to residents of the Belle Harbor section of the Rockaways.
As word spread that Smith, who used his surfboard to ferry so many people to safety during the late October superstorm, had died, a Heroes of Rockaway Facebook page said: "R.I.P. to Dylan Smith, our Rockaway Hero, tragically died this morning surfing in Puerto Rico. He will never be forgotten."
Troy Bradwisch, who lives on the same street as the Smith family, said the presumed drowning death was "crushing" for the neighborhood.
"It was more shocking than anything," he said. "You can go through the storm and all that, and he goes on vacation to get a sense of normalcy and something like that happens."
Marguerite Wetzel, a Montauk resident who knows the Smith family from trips to Puerto Rico, could barely talk about the death.
"I have two sons, and he exemplified everything you would want your sons to be. I'm going to start tearing up," she said, her voice cracking.
Smith had lived with his parents and a 19-year-old brother when he was not at college. Fire Department of New York Chief Michael Light, a longtime friend of Smith's recently retired firefighter father, said someone who was with Smith in waters off Maria's Beach in the Puerto Rican community of Rincon notified him of the death.
"We know he died in the water while he was surfing. It's under investigation as to the cause," Light said. "I believe he was with some friends."
Smith's body was found floating near his surfboard, police said. Authorities said a resident of the Puerto Rican town spotted Smith in the water and took him to shore. They said a doctor tried to resuscitate him.
Light said Smith rescued as many as a dozen people during the superstorm by paddling from porch to porch with his surfboard, moving the helpless, including children and the elderly, from imperiled perches amid swirling floodwaters and a sky filled with flames from a gas line explosion as more than a dozen homes around him burned to the ground.
"It was totally brave and selfless," Light said.
People magazine, which named Smith one of its Heroes of the Year, credited Smith and neighbor Michael McDonnell with rescuing six people trapped by the flood and fire by connecting electric cords and twine into a makeshift rope that could be gripped as they walked the surfboard with people on it to safety at the storm's height.
The flood and fire occurred in a Queens neighborhood with an unusually high population of police officers and firefighters, which might explain why a higher proportion of residents lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, than just about anywhere else. Two months later, American Airlines Flight 587 smashed into a home, killing 265 people and setting off fires that destroyed the homes of those living around Smith and his family.
The Smith family home was spared again during Superstorm Sandy when fires destroyed neighbors' homes and the Harbor Light Restaurant, where Smith sometimes worked as a bartender.
Smith, who helped neighbors clean up and rebuild after the storm, had gone recently to Puerto Rico, where his family had a home in the popular beach town. Light said he could understand if Smith wanted some relief from the destruction in Belle Harbor.
"It's tough to look at," he said. "He figured rather than look out the window at the destruction here, post-Sandy, all the rebuilding, he was going to take a little break and do a little surfing in Puerto Rico and get away for a while."

© Genae M. Girard, 2009-2010
Off the Rack,
Chronicles of a Thirty-Something, Single,
Breast Cancer Survivor
In this illuminating, heart-felt and bittersweet humorous book, cancer survivor
Genae Girard shares her personal journey through the raw pain of a cancer
diagnosis to a 'new normal' way of vital living. She reveals her innermost
thoughts with a surprising candor and unique, quirky creativity to help others have
a fresh perspective in understanding this life-changing disease. There is power in
self-education,taking control of the medical treatment process and being able to
get real in handling the scary stuff by keeping a sense of humor about it all. And
she shares her process openly…
• How she felt invaded by an alien conqueror the day she was diagnosed,
• How her boyfriend of three months went quickly from hunter to caregiver,
• What happened when treatment didn't go as planned,
• How she made friends with the fear, and, most importantly,
• How she created a new life from the inside out.
Whether you are walking the path of cancer treatment personally or
love someone who is, this book is the perfect gift.
A Note From Genae
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I went
directly to the bookstore and bought every book I could find
about the topic. On those self help shelves I found medical
books, long memoirs and tales of depressing woe. As I made
my way from shelf to counter, the stack of books looked
like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As I poured through the
books, I realized there needed to be a different voice
screaming from those shelves. A voice of humor, irony and
conviction. A book that says, "I have cancer, but cancer is
not me."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Minnesota-based Cargill Inc. is recalling more ground turkey products because of possible salmonella contamination.
The company recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey last month after a salmonella outbreak that federal health officials say had sickened 107 people in 31 states by Aug. 11. One person died.
That recall covered products from Cargill's plant in Springdale, Ark.
The company shut down the plant but said Aug. 17 it had resumed limited production after the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved additional safety measures.
The USDA said Sunday that Cargill was recalling about 185,000 pounds of ground turkey products made after production resumed because a sample tested positive for salmonella. No illnesses linked to those products have been reported.
Cargill spokesman Mike Martin did not immediately return a phone message left Sunday.

Tracks Ahead Season 8, was released in October 2011 to the Southeastern
Wisconsin market. The series should be available nationwide after
January 1, 2012. As
with the previous three seasons, it is in high
definition, with digital 5.1 surround sound. The 13 part
season includes
segments from Germany, Russia, and all around the United
Tracks Ahead started in 1989, with four seasons in regular 4x3 NTSC
television. The first high definition series was season 5,
released in 2003. Season 6 was released in 2006, and Season 7 in
2009. Each series is available on your local Public TV station, with a formidable lineup
of features for railroading novices as well as experts. The series is available to all
PBS stations in high definition and digital 5.1 surround sound, and in regular letterboxed TV.
If you don't see it, contact your local PBS affiliate and ask about the series.
A new season is in the works, under the tutelage of a new producer and
director. Please stay tuned for additional information.
Please note that this website may disappear, as the old producer, tired
and stooped with age after 20+ years of train chasing, has
less involvement with the project.
I do hope that you have enjoyed Tracks Ahead since it's inception in
1989. It has been rewarding and a lot of fun to present this
material. I know that I have certainly enjoyed traveling around
the world and being able to share those "train" stories has only
enhanced by pleasure in the project.
As always, the magazine-style series explores every aspect of the railroads of the
world. You'll see railroad prototypes, models, personalities and lore covering not only the
railways and modelers of the past, but of the present and future.

More changes at EPISD with new appointments
POSTED: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 - 10:27pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 - 10:31am
El Paso, TX — The closed session of the EPISD's board meeting ended just after 9 Tuesday with the announcement of two new hires.
They hired Manuel Castruita as the new Director of Guidance Services. He has years of experience with YISD as an educator and councilor. He's replacing Kathleen Ortega, the former guidance services director who resigned effective last month.
She admitted to having documents three years ago that revealed a cheating scandal.
The other hire tonight was of the in-house legal council. They hired Linda Samples who works mostly with school districts with a company called baskind and hosford.
Interim Superintendent Vernon Butler had this to say, "that was one of the recommendations that came from tea back a year or so ago and we thought based on the size of the district. There are in house legal councils throughout the state of Texas. And we just believe that would be a benefit to our school district having the in house legal council Someone that we can rely on and work with on a regular basis. "
No idea yet on salaries or start dates for either hire.
The other hot topic tonight: Board members say they're protecting the will of the people by requesting a review of Texas Education Agency Commissioner Williams' decision to take over the board by appointing five board managers.
Tuesday, the board met with their attorney to discuss their course of action. No announcement as far as that's concerned.

Poffenberger Road Bridge
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
Poffenberger Road, Middletown, Frederick County
The Poffenberger Road Bridge crosses the Catoctin Creek at Poffenberger Road near Middletown. It is an iron single span, Double Intersection Pratt (or Whipple) through truss bridge, built c. 1878 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. The bridge is set on two random-coursed stone abutments with wing wall approaches which appear to date from the original construction of the bridge. The Poffenberger Bridge is an unusually large structure for its location, and was probably built in part to service the business generally operated by nearby Lewis Mill.
The Poffenberger Road Bridge may be the only Double Intersection Pratt truss bridge still standing in Maryland. The Poffenberger Bridge is also one of the earliest dated bridges in the region, having been built in 1878. The Poffenberger Road Bridge is important as an example of 19th century iron truss bridges in Frederick County, not only because of its very early date, but also because of its unusual Double Intersection Pratt truss design.

UConn to pay $1.3M settlement in sex assault handling lawsuit
STORRS -- The University of Connecticut will pay nearly $1.3 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed by five women who claimed the school responded to their sexual assault complaints with indifference, the two sides announced Friday.
The bulk of the settlement, $900,000, will go to Silvana Moccia, a former UConn hockey player who joined the Title IX lawsuit last December, a month after it was originally filed by four other women. She alleged she was kicked off the team after reporting she had been raped by a male hockey player in August 2011.

The success of any business can be directly related to the quality of its staff and the ability to meet any consumer demand. When your business struggles in this regard it helps to identify the areas of inconsistency which can result in the loss of consumers due to employee negligence. To avoid this unfortunate turn of events with your own company, it is necessary to identify the many factors influencing the importance of pursuing proper sales techniques.
Factor I: Building Consumer Relationships
One of the greatest mistakes amateur sales associates make is focusing on the drive to make a single sale form a single individual. This short sighted strategy may help in improving sales numbers in the short run but will provide no value with developing future success. The first factor influencing the importance of sales management skills is found with building consumer relationships overtime. Whether you run a store or an online website, pursuing a relationship with your client will help to secure greater sales as well as develop the best form of marketing, positive word of mouth.
Factor II: Enhancing Selling Ability
If you were to provide any employee with the opportunity to work with a consumer eager to invest in a product you will develop a high level of sales success. The true skill or value of an associate is to have the ability to work with consumers who may not have this interest yet still make a purchase after working with your employee. The selling skills of an employee staff often represents the financial success the company has displaying this factor of importance with enhancing selling ability.
Factor III: Problem Solving
When a customer discovers a problem with a good or service it is often easy to lose their business to a competitor in a short period of time. If a customer contacts your company with a problem it creates the possibility of salvaging your relationship by resolving the problem and enhancing consumer satisfaction. When your sales staff can utilize the sales management skills of problem solving it will boost your business success, marking the importance of this factor in relation to proper selling techniques.
Factor IV: Revenue Development
The final factor of importance identifying the need for proper selling skills is seen with the value of revenue development. Every business relies on the resources of revenue development so the elements of building consumer relationships, enhancing selling ability and efficient problem solving will all help in keeping consumers and meeting this high demand factor.Australia's leading sales training organization http://www.salesmasters.com.au is committed to delivering and implementing, world class sales training and professional development.

No business is a guaranteed success. As an entrepreneur, you face not only financial peril, but stress that would put most 9-to-5ers out of business--and not all of you make it. Of course, the greater the odds, the greater the payoff, and these are the stories of those of you who prove it.
The Matchup: The Ent. vs. The Odds
Since she was a tot, Maria de Lourdes Sobrino saw red, white and blue when she dreamed big. Bringing with her an indomitible spirit, entrepreneurial dreams and a product from her native Mexico that couldn't be found in U.S. markets, she knew she could find a niche.
Sobrino was launching an untried product--ready-to-eat gelatin--that even giant Jell-O wouldn't attempt for another 10 years. Family and consumers alike had no idea what she was trying to do, and a roller coaster of debt nearly added her to the business failure rate.
"At the beginning, my family in Mexico really felt I was crazy." --Maria de Lourdes Sobrino
The Outcome
LuLu's Dessert Factory, a favorite in large grocery chains, grossed $9.2 million last year and predicts $12 million in 2000 and $30 million by 2002.

Assam Organic (Sunday, November 03, 2013)
I love Assam tea with it's malty flavor. I drink my tea without milk or sugar and this one is very good for a breakfast type tea. I recommend it for anybody who likes Indian teas.
Assam (Saturday, August 03, 2013)
Love this tea. Has a classic taste, great with or without milk and honey.
Just Outstanding (Saturday, March 31, 2012)
For a mellow black tea that lends itself to be mix with some sugar and other teas this is excellent tea. I find it very delicious for ice or hot tea. I combine it with "energize" me black tea and /or with "Chai" black tea. For a very, "I want to keep tasting this flavor on my mouth" kind of tasting tea.
Mellow & delicious!! (Sunday, March 18, 2012)
This organic tea has a nice mellow flavor. I like my teas strong so tend to steep it for about 10-12 mins. to extract maximum flavor. I'd recommend this tea to people who like mellow Indian teas.
Flavorfull (Tuesday, February 14, 2012)
Slightly darker than the Nilgiri Organic, this tea is smooth with a pugent aroma & taste. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good organic tea(s).

Jon's VU! Seein' donkeys
An ol'e guy I know had a problem, when he imbibed too much booze he would see things. His wife took him to the family doctor, who ask what he was seeing now? Donkeys, he said!! Of course the good doc gave him an expensive prescription and a talk about cutting off booze. When he came back the good doctor re-examined him……
See there, it takes so little to make an ole man happy! I was listening to Glenn Beck on Fox news. He must have read one of my old columns. He was explaining the difference between a Democracy what Washington politicians keep saying we have, and a republic, the one referred to in the pledge of allegiance. Since most politicians don't seem to know the difference, naturally they don't feel the need to serve the people they are supposed to represent. In a true Democracy, every one in the country would get to vote on everything including making congress work for minimum wages!
You know just what they are worth. Maybe seven dollars an hour! Of course, we would have to be fair and give them 50 cents for each hen they pluck!! Say. Democracy might be kinda nice. How would you vote on new air conditioning for Congress back room meetings? Yes, Democracy might be fun. The sad fact that we elect people to REPRESENT us who don't know what the representative form of government and the difference of a true Democracy really is. Want some fun, little bird? Listen for your favorite politician to Say "We want to start Democracies around the world, just like ours!"
Just think of the fun we can have voting on every thing!! This month we vote on congress's meals, choose between a happy meal and burger king jr. I guess that's why we have a representative form of government. They get the steak and we get a happy meal! Now that is a representative government. Our representatives get to live like we wish we could!
Tell me, little bird do you know who your representative in the house, or your Senator is? If you don't know, who will you hold responsible for the down fall of this country? Look in the mirror! It is you gentle reader. You, by your action or in action in the voting booth. Have you ever spoke up at a public meeting, a place where your vocal input was asked for, and where you might have influenced the passing of a law to stop the desecration of our constitution, flag and our homes!
Can you recognize the enemies of our country? I think some of them are hiding in our nation's capital disguised as your representatives!
As the ole guy listened to the doctor's reparative tirade about seeing things, the old man pointed to the window. "Look," he said. The doctor looked and there on his front lawn was a small donkey with a saddle, calmly fertilizing his front lawn. This is to show not every good story is a lie, and the ass's fertilizing the hall of congress are not the riding kind!!
Just another of uncle Jon's stories just meant to educate you, eradicate our enemies and help stop the fertilizer on our nations capital floor.
This is JON'S VU!!!

How To Install OCS Inventory NG Server 2 On CentOS 5.5
Submitted by rafatmb (Contact Author) (Forums) on Mon, 2011-01-24 19:24. :: CentOS
How To Install OCS Inventory NG Server 2 On CentOS 5.5
This article explains how to install OCS Inventory NG Server 2 on Linux Server. Prepared by Rafael Marangoni, from BRLink Consultoria Linux Team.
OCS Inventory is a great software to make inventories. The NG Server is formed by: communication server, deployment server, and administration console. Click here to know how it works.
The computers that will be inventoried must run an agent (installed on each computer), to connect to the OCS NG Server. We are using the CentOS 5.5 (64bits) distribution, but it will probably work on Fedora (and Red Hat, for sure).
1 Some Prerequisites
Installing MySQL Server
We need to install it (if it's not already installed):
yum install mysql-server php-mysql php-pecl-zip php-gd
Starting MySQL:
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Setting a root password on mysql:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'secret'
Starting Apache:
We need to start Apache (OCS uses it):
/etc/init.d/httpd start
Installing Packages
Next, we need to install EPEL repository:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Afterwards, let's install the packages:
yum install -y perl-XML-Simple perl-Compress-Zlib perl-DBI perl-DBD-MySQL perl-Net-IP perl-XML-Entities perl-Apache-DBI perl-Apache2-SOAP perl-SOAP-Lite mod_perl
Configure PHP
Edit the /etc/php.ini file, and change the following lines:
vi /etc/php.ini
post_max_size = 200M upload_max_filesize = 200M
Restart Apache:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
2 Installing OCS Inventory NG Server 2
First, we need to download the tarball from OCS Inventory website. Click here.
mkdir /download
Initiate the installer:
tar -zxvf OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.0rc1.tar.gz
The install script is very simple, it's a wizard. Almost all the options, we'll select the default option.
If you leave the question in blank, it will select the default option.
Do you wish to continue ([y]/n)?y
3 Configuring OCS Inventory NG Server 2
Creating a MySQL database:
First, we need to open mysql shell:
mysql -u root -p"secret"
Then create the database named ocsweb, and grant permissions to user ocs, with password ocs:
CREATE DATABASE ocsweb;
If you want, you can change these parameters (database name, username or password). This is the default of ocs.
Now, point your browser to ocsreports interface, to manage the server with the administration tool:
The default user is "admin" and password is "admin".
Finally, we must delete the install script:
rm -f /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/install.php
Now, all you have to do is configure the server with the machine options. Install the agents on the network computers pointing the
server ip on them.

'Fox and Friends' Hosts and Guest Scientist Exchange Insults After Segment Didn't Go as Planned
An appearance by a Scientific American editor Michael Moyer, on Wednesday's "Fox & Friends" morning show has left the hosts of the show and Mr. Moyer hurling insults at one another via every channel imaginable — TV, blog post, Twitter, etc.
The plan had been for Moyer to appear on the show to discuss scientific trends that might impact the future. The first thing that came to Moyer's mind, he told Business Insider, was climate change, but he says that the producers asked him to steer clear of that controversial subject, requesting he replace that talking point "with something else."
Then things slowly fell apart.

Mayor Nenshi Proclaims Historic Calgary Week,
Photograph courtesy Val Jobson
It is here! Mayor Nenshi launched Historic Calgary Week this past Friday at the Southern Alberta Pioneers building. There are SO many interesting programs going on this week, I can't decide where I want to go. Check out the brochure and join in on this celebration of our heritage.
So, because it is the annual celebration of our history, Calgary Public Library has launched our newest digitized collection - Historic Maps of Calgary and Alberta. Maps can be a fascinating way to look at the history of a city and its people and this collection highlights a sampling of historic Calgary maps that have been digitized from the Community Heritage and Family History's print map collection found in the Local History Room at the Central Library. The print map collection consists of hundreds of maps dating from the early 19th century and into to 21st. Below is a sample of one of the digitized maps:
Map showing Calgary in 1884
Community Heritage and Family History Map Collection, CALG 4
This map of Calgary N.W.T. shows locations and dates of early Calgary buildings and provides valuable insight into our city's history and development. For example, did you know that in 1884 the City Pound was across the street from where the Central Library is now?
Click here to see the collection, or find it through the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library (under Books & More from our website)
To see the sample of digitized maps available online, click on Digitized Map link on the collections front page. You can also access information about the hundreds of actual maps in our collection; click on the Browse All tab at the top of the page. So while we work at getting more of the maps digitized and available, you can see the real thing in the Local History room on the fourth floor at the Central Library. And keep in mind, that if you have any questions about the maps or about history or genealogy, you can contact us via our Chat Reference, by email or by telephone at 403-260-2785.
I've been waiting for these digitized maps for some time and now here they are. Great job, everyone!

Fiji Time: 2:32 AM on Monday 22 December
/ Front page / News
Saturday, April 28, 2007
THE amount of freedom that the media should have in terms of its reporting while the country is under a state of emergency will be discussed during this year's Media Freedom Day seminar next Thursday.
Titled Media freedom during a state of emergency', the seminar will be held at the University of the South Pacific Oceania Centre at 7pm.
The keynote speaker will be the Herald and Weekly Times Pty Limited's editorial development manager, Chris McLeod.
According to Fiji Media Council executive secretary Bob Pratt this year's topic in the seminar was different from issues previously highlighted.
The reason, he said, was that, this year's topic would relate to what was happening in the country rather than deliberating about media freedom in general "year in and year out".
Mr Pratt said it would be interesting to listen to what the keynote speaker would have to say about the state of emergency and media freedom in Fiji.
A panel discussion will take place following the keynote address.
The panel will include the deputy commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces who will represent the State, while USP would be represented by senior lecturer of the School of Social Sciences Professor Steven Ratuva.
Freelance journalist Sophie Foster will represent the media and Daryl Tarte will be moderator.

An uphill battle is now over for a disabled Queens boy who continued living in his building with broken elevators from Hurricane Sandy, after NY1 For You reported on his struggle. NY1's Susan Jhun filed the following NY1 For You report.
After two months of being trapped, 10-year-old Quentin Morales is now finally able to get out of his home in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens.
"It's like such a burden lifted off my shoulders, now he can actually go to his doctors' appointments and start school again, so I'm happy for that," says Joanne Morales, Quentin's relative.
Last week, NY1 For You first reported on how the little boy, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, was stuck in his apartment on the seventh floor of his building, where the elevators are still out from Hurricane Sandy.
"My biggest fear is that god forbid there's a fire or any type of emergency we're trapped here," Joanne Morales. After the Morales family contacted NY1, the station called management for the building, the Department Of Buildings and The Office of Emergency Management.
After NY1's story aired, management contacted the station and said the elevators have been down so long due to a delay with the building's flood insurance. However, management offered to move the Morales to a nearby two-family model home until the elevators are up and running.
It is a huge relief to family members, who cannot wait to get Quentin back to school and and his normal life.
"Without this story I probably would have been stuck up here for a couple more months so I want to thank you guys for helping," says Joanne Morales.
If you'd like "NY1 For You" to look into a problem, call our 24-hour helpline at 212-379-3599 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
