As each law hits the news, FAIR (and/or one or both of its sister organizations) issues neutrally worded reports portraying the undocumented as social and economic burdens. The studies point to the urgent need for passage of the immigration law in question.
In the wake of the passage of SB 1070, for instance, FAIR advanced to Fox News a copy of its new report on the alarming cost of illegal immigration in Arizona.
On May 17, Fox reported that "Arizona's illegal-immigrant population is costing the state's taxpayers even more than once thought — a whopping $2.7 billion, according to researchers at the public interest group that helped write the state's new immigration law."
The FAIR report helped galvanize support for SB 1070, and for its boosters, such as Pearce and Governor Jan Brewer, who told the Arizona Republic that she signed SB 1070 in part because she was "cognizant of what the impact of illegal immigration was doing to the state of Arizona in relation to cost."
But the FAIR report that Brewer, Pearce, and practically every other Arizona illegal-immigration politico relied on to get elected flies in the face of reality.
In the first place, FAIR's estimate of the unauthorized population in Arizona is unusually robust.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates 460,000 undocumented people live in Arizona. (Recently, the Pew Hispanic Center lowered its estimate to about 375,000.)
In contrast, FAIR reports that 500,000 costly illegal aliens live in Arizona.
And FAIR has added a new demographic to the expense column: children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants.
Despite their constitutionally guaranteed citizenship, these children represent a major "cost of illegal immigration," according to FAIR.
Nearly half of FAIR's $2.7 billion estimated cost of illegal immigration in Arizona involves expenses of U.S. children born to undocumented immigrants, without factoring in the obvious economic counterbalance — lifetimes of paying taxes, working, and consuming.
Adding these children to the expense column boosts Arizona's "cost of illegal immigration" to $2.7 billion, up from $1.3 billion in FAIR's 2004 report.
That's more than a 100 percent increase in supposed illegal-immigration costs during a dramatic decline in the state's population of undocumented immigrants.
Longtime FAIR staffer Jack Martin, who is not an economist but rather "a retired U.S. diplomat with consular experience," put the Arizona report together.
In July, Martin said that he included in his report U.S. children born to undocumented immigrants as a cost of illegal immigration because they "wouldn't be here" if their parents hadn't been in the country illegally.
And if Mom and Dad returned to Mexico, they'd take their American children with them, Martin declared.
Asked why these same American kids mysteriously disappear from his report once they become adults and offset the cost of their educations by paying taxes, consuming, and working, Martin offered no rational answer. He posited that once these children reach adulthood, they no longer represent a "cost of illegal immigration" because if their parents were to be deported, the adult children probably would stay in the United States.
In short, Martin could not explain away the accounting trick at the heart of the "report" that helped justify SB 1070.
In July, as politicians eyeballed SB 1070's popularity and drafted similar election-year legislation in other states, FAIR issued yet another report, "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers."
This detailed report says illegal aliens cost American taxpayers $113 billion annually. It says each American household pays $1,117 yearly for illegal immigration. It says most illegal aliens don't pay taxes.
Such numbers can only outrage millions of penny-pinched Americans already anxious about their own futures in uncertain economic times. But once again, the numbers defy logic.
That's because the misleading techniques in the Arizona report were duplicated in the national report.
Start with the population estimate.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States in 2009, but the FAIR report estimates a much larger population: 13 million.
And, again, as in the Arizona report, the largest single "fiscal burden" of illegal immigration is tied to American children. FAIR says it costs taxpayers $52 billion to educate the children of illegal immigrants, and that includes more than 3 million American citizens born to one or more undocumented parents.
As with the Arizona report, the positive economic counterbalance to education costs (the adult lifetime of productivity, consumption, and taxpaying) is excluded from FAIR's calculations.
But contrary to FAIR's assertion, the consensus among many economists is that the U.S. government nets a profit from educating its children, because educated adults pay more taxes and contribute to the nation's productivity.
"Many government expenses related to immigrants are associated with their children," Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney write in "Ten Economic Facts About Immigration," recently published on behalf of the Brookings Institution. "Both the immigrant children and children of U.S.-born citizens are expensive when they are young because of the costs of investing in children's education and health. Those expenses, however, are paid back through taxes received over a lifetime of work. "
Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California-Davis and an expert on the contributions of immigrants to economies, tells Village Voice Media: "Education spending is always considered an investment, not a cost, because it adds to the productivity of the country."

The Changing State of Leadership in Australian Politics
I've just devoured the latest Quarterly Essay, titled Trivial Pursuit: Leadership and the End of the Reform Era, by political journalist George Megalogenis.
It's an interesting read – it's filled in a few holes in my political knowledge (though that's not too hard to do), and it's provided an intelligent take on the current leadership crisis Australian politics is facing.
There's plenty of thoughts from it that are buzzing around my head which I'd like to share – and would appreciate any thoughts you may have.
Generational support in the Major Parties
The Greens are building a considerable supporter base within Generation Y – and people often don't switch parties as they get older, so this could lead to them being a serious player in Australian politics within the coming decade. However, the Baby Boomers are predominantly Coalition supporters. Keeping in mind our ageing population, in our most recent federal election 46% of voters were aged 50 or older.
Then factor this in: the ALP have dominated in the eastern states in particular – and yet there's a decent chance that all three of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland will swich to Coalition Governments over the coming two years.
So: where does this leave the ALP on a Federal level?
Red and Blue States
Another divide is through the middle of the country: South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT all had swings towards the ALP in the most recent election. NSW was rather ambivalent, whereas Queensland and Western Australia favoured the Coalition.
Yes, inner city electorates have always been progressive in comparison to their rural siblings. But arguably this is a little more distinct. How would you go about being a leader for all of Australia?
Lead by Example
Hawke, Keating and early Howard were seen as true leaders – they led by action (ie: reform). Later, Howard, Rudd, Gillard and Abbott have all played by the polls, instead of leading with their own ideals and conviction. The abandoning of the ETS is a prime example of how the second approach failed Labor.
Playing to the polls is not healthy – far better to lead, and bring the country with you. Give them something to vote for, instead of being the least-worst option.
Stick to your guns – people are more willing to forgive you if you've got clear convictions. Consider Howard's GST policy as an example. I'd quote others from Hawke and Keating, but I really don't have the history chops to be confident in what I'd be saying.
Faster! Faster!
The pace of the media cycle is dangerous – there is the expectation of constant news. Our political leaders must push back against this desire. They need to plan out policy carefully, and not bombard people with a whole lot of small pieces of information.
Depth instead of breadth should be the focus – but that's a hard thing to manage given our short attention spans. (A curse of the internet, perhaps?)
Be Prepared to Negotiate
This isn't something from the book, but I think hung parliaments are going to become far more common. The Greens are coming into their own, and the combined ALP and Coalition vote hasn't come close to 90% since 1993, when Keating beat Hewson. When 15-20% of voters are regularly looking beyond the two major parties, that makes a majority far harder to capture.
Does this all sound reasonable? Are my biases clouding my own perceptions? Is there anything you'd like to add?

Diabetes is a chronic disease which affects your body's ability to process sugar. The resulting high blood sugar can cause problems with your eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart and other parts of your body. Diabetes can lower your resistance to infection and can slow the healing process.
Control your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol—also known as the ABCs of diabetes—to take care of your teeth and your overall health. Teach your family about your diabetes and the ABCs so they can help you, too.
Good oral hygiene habits, including professional cleanings at the dental office, are important if you are to control the progression of gum disease and other oral health problems. Regular dental checkups and periodontal screenings are important for evaluating overall dental health and for treating dental problems in their initial stages. Your dentist may recommend more frequent evaluations and preventive procedures, such as teeth cleaning, to maintain good oral health.

Child abuse prevention is not receiving adequate public support not because people aren't outraged by the issue, but because they stop at outrage and lack credible solutions beyond reporting. Please don't say 'not my child" or "it went on when I was in school' because it has it has become horrific today!
Bullying can have a lasting effect on the victim. Every child deserves an environment where they can develop without fear of aggression or cruelty. Here are some ways you, the adult, can help prevent the long lasting effects of bullying.
Know the warning signs. Your child may be bullying others if they:
■Enjoy putting others down and don't care about others feelings.
■Disrespect authority and people who are different from them.
■Disregard rules.
■Need to have power over others.
■ Make jokes about violent acts or enjoy violence.
If you learn that your child is bulling others, you can do the following:
■Stay calm. Feeling angry or ashamed is normal, but instead focus on how to
■Help your child learn positive behavior.
■Talk about it. Ask your child why he or she is bullying others. Make it clear
■That you think bullying is wrong and set clear, nonviolent consequences for future bullying behavior.
Many children who are bullied keep it a secret, so know the warning signs. A victim of bullying may …
■Experience a drop in grades or lose interest in school
■Seem quiet or depressed.
■Have bruises or other injuries.
■Come home with missing or damaged belongings.
■Ask for more lunch money.
If you learn that your child is being bullied, you can do the following:
■Stay calm. Tell the child that nobody deserves to be bullied.
■ Ask why your child thinks he/she is being bullied.
■Think of peaceful solutions together.
Encourage your child to:
■Stick with a group, avoid being alone in 'target' areas.
■Agree with the bully saying "You're right," then leave.
■Report all bullying incidents.
Encourage your child not to be a bystander. When no one speaks up, the bully learns he/she can get away with it.

n "The Syracuse Fan's Survival Guide to the ACC," by Mike Waters and Mark Bialczak; Copyright 2013, Reedy Press; 210 pages.
It's not difficult at all to imagine that a book released just prior to the July 1, 2013 date when longtime college athletics powerhouse Syracuse University officially joined the venerable Atlantic Coast Conference might be a haphazardly thrown together collection of worn and outdated observations about the school's new competitors to the South.
After all, it was future hall of fame Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim himself who tossed a few verbal jabs in the direction of the ACC's home office in Greensboro after the charter members of the Big East Conference vacated that league's New York City dwelling.
Care for dinner at Denny's anyone?
So a book full of the usual tired and exceptionally lame jokes University of North Carolina fans might make at the expense of say, N.C. State, would seem to be the expected outcome of a book with the title "The Syracuse Fan's Survival Guide to the ACC." Let's say, it's predictable.
Not so fast. Syracuse, it seems, is taking this new ACC membership thing very seriously.
Authors Mike Waters and Mark Bialczak have actually assembled a neat little book full of useful facts and visitor information about all the ACC member schools — including fellow newbies Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Louisville. The comprehensive field primer is an inside look at not only the schools, but the cities where those campuses are located. Like a Fodor's travel companion, it serves as a manual when Orange fans travel south for games in the Smith Center, Carter-Finley Stadium, Cameron Indoor Stadium or BB&T Field. And in a bonus, they included a chapter on Syracuse.
That's how thorough Waters and Bialczak are.
Waters has written about Syracuse basketball for years as a sports reporter for the Syracuse Post-Standard and Bialczak is a former sports editor for that newspaper. But they both have some ACC street cred. Waters is a Maryland native who graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1986. Bialczak is a graduate from the University of Maryland — a charter ACC school that will unfortunately leave the conference after this season to head for the Big 10.
Together they share insight about the formation and expansion of the ACC that will be helpful for Syracuse fans — and perhaps eye-opening for folks here along "Tobacco Road." There is a wealth of historic information about the league and each school. No detail is too small to be covered in one way or another — from the words to school fight songs to the tradition of touching "Howard's Rock" at Clemson. For each school notable alumni are mentioned along with sports legends. There's even a listing of where games are broadcast on radio and TV for every school.
Each team section includes nuggets like those along with Syracuse's athletic history in football and basketball against all ACC schools. There are sections dedicated to travel arrangements, sightseeing, shopping, dining and nightlife for each city from Boston to Winston-Salem to Miami. There's even a section about tailgating accommodations at football stadiums in the ACC.
Waters and Bialczak obviously took great pains to make a helpful book for the thousands of Syracuse fans now trying to acclimate themselves to a brave new world in which Georgetown and St. John's are no longer their largest rivals in basketball. Moving from the Big East was a tough pill for many to swallow — just as fans in ACC country have gulped hard at the notion of invaders from New York advancing on Big Four turf.
The irony here, though, is that this book is so inclusive it would be simple to put a different cover on it and swap the name Syracuse for any ACC school and sell it to a new fan base. "The Syracuse Fan's Survival Guide to the ACC" is a great resource not only for fans of the Orange, but for those at all ACC schools.
And if nothing else, it's a harbinger that maybe Syracuse is a good fit here after all.

Lady Falcon Softball Sweeps Lees-McRae with Comeback Win in Game One and Shutout in Game Two at Lees-McRae
April 7, 2013
BANNER ELK, N.C. - Trailing 4-2 heading into the seventh of game one, Pfeiffer University turned on the offense to eventual take a 7-6, extra-inning win in the opener before rolling 8-0 in game two to sweep host Lees-McRae in Conference Carolinas softball action on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Falcons improve to 16-22 overall, 6-8 in league play while sending the Bobcats to 7-34, 2-12.
Ashlee Ellen provided the two earlier runs on one swing of the bat in the third blasting a two-run shot to left after Sadie Saine drew a one-out walk. Down by two going to the seventh, Ellen would start the inning with a base hit to left while Julianna Bullington and Celia Dew also followed with singles to load the bases. Lindsey Russell then drew a walk to bring in Ellen while Tyresha Ellis tied it with a single down the left field line on the very next pitch. Pfeiffer would take a brief lead on Shelby Brown's base hit to left. After Lees-McRae tied it with a two-out single in the bottom of the seventh, Sam Jarmusch would provide the game-winner with a single to right with two outs in the as Jessica Jackson and Saine scored a pair of unearned runs on an error. Jarmusch would pick up the first of her two wins tossing the final two frames of game one allowing an unearned run on two hits with a strikeout.
Russell would have her self a 4-for-4 game two driving in four while Pfeiffer also took advantage of six Lees-McRae errors for an 8-0 win to complete to the sweep. An unearned run started in the first for Pfeiffer while Russell and Ellis picked up RBI in the fourth on a pair of base hits. Russell would help the Lady Falcons blow open game two in a four-run fifth providing a two-run single to left after Bullington drove in Saine earlier in the frame. Russell would score the final run on another Bobcat error in the fifth. To end the offensive afternoon, Dew and Russell would trade leadoff doubles in the seventh to provide the final eight-run difference. Jarmusch would go the distance in game two tossing all seven frames posting a three-hit shutout with seven strikeouts. Pfeiffer would pound out 27 hits in the doubleheader picking up 14 in game two.
Pfeiffer gets right back to action on Monday night traveling to Johnson C. Smith for a makeup game with the Golden Bulls starting at 5:00 p.m.

A stunt is an unusual and difficult physical feat, or any act requiring a special skill, performed for artistic purposes in TV, theatre, or cinema. Stunts are a big part of many action movies.
Before computer generated imagery special effects, these effects were limited to the use of models, false perspective and other in-camera effects - unless the creator could find someone willing to jump from car to car or hang from the edge of a skyscraper - the stunt performer.
Stunt performances are highly choreographed and may be rigorously rehearsed for hours, days and sometimes weeks before a performance. Seasoned professionals will commonly treat a performance as if they have never done it before, since the risks in stunt work are high, every move and position must be correct to reduce risk of injury from accidents.
For example, if the plot requires the hero to jump to a high place, the film crew could put the actor in a special harness, and use aircraft high tension wire to pull him up. Piano wire is sometimes used to fly objects, but an actor is never suspended from it as it is brittle and can break under shock impacts. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) is a kung-fu movie that was heavily reliant on wire stunts.
Performers of vehicular stunts require extensive training and may employ specially adapted vehicles. Stunts can be as simple as a handbrake turn, also known as the bootleg turn, or as advanced as car chases, jumps and crashes involving dozens of vehicles. Rémy Julienne is a well known pioneering automotive stunt performer and coordinator.
Most action movie actors today use stunt doubles, though some of them do a few of their own stunts to please movie fans. One famous exception to this norm has been Jackie Chan from Hong Kong. Igor Breakenback, an actor, stuntman and once Jackie Chan's Body Double who is highly skilled in I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu, also does all his stunts without assistance or wires.Phanom Yeerum, an actor who is highly skilled in Muay Thai, also does all his stunts without assistance.
Popular Indian actor Jayan used to do physical stunts without stunt doubles. He was killed in a helicopter crash while doing a stunt for a Malayalam language movie in 1980. Hrithik Roshan too performed his own stunts for the much acclaimed films Krrish and Dhoom 2 that sprang him to instant stardom after his break with the movie Kaho Na Pyar Hai in which he played a macho man in the second half.
Notable among the professional Hollywood stuntmen are Yakima Canutt and Dar Robinson.
In his movies, Tom Cruise performs many of his own stunts without doubles, including the Mission: Impossible Trilogy and Minority Report .
In Lord of the Rings, Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn performed all of his own stunts, including swordplay, insisting it would look more authentic, and sustained several injuries as a result.
Actor and Stuntman Igor Breakenback does the worlds first Yoga Ball Fight, involving more then 20 Yoga Balls at the same time. The Stunt Action Feature Comedy Good Luck With That has some never before seen real stunts, real pain, no wires, and no CGI!
Silent comedian Harold Lloyd climbs the entire height of a Los Angeles, California, skyscraper without wires, or nets. Lloyd dangles from a broken clock face on the topmost floor above moving traffic despite having only three fingers on his right hand.
The front of a house falls down with Buster Keaton standing in the exact position of an open window, leaving him unharmed. His stone-faced expression remains.
Joe Canutt Judah Ben-Hur rides his chariot over the wreck of a competitor. He is launched over the front of his chariot and barely manages to hang on to the front as he climbs back up.
Pursued by Germans, Bud Ekins as Capt. Virgil "The Cooler King" Hilts jumps his motorcycle over a barbed-wire fence... but does not quite make it to safety.
Trapped by the Superposse, Butch and Sundance leap off a cliff into raging waters knowing that the "fall will probably kill [them]". Mickey Gilbert doubled for Robert Redford and Howard Curtis doubled for Paul Newman.
Papillon makes his final bid for freedom by leaping from a cliff into the sea. Dar Robinson doubled for Steve McQueen, his first major stunt in a Hollywood film.
Ross Kananga as James Bond uses four crocodiles as stepping stones to reach safety on the other side. Kananga, who owned the crocodile farm seen in the film, and after whom the main villain is named, did the stunt five times wearing the same crocodile skin shoes as his character had chosen to wear. During the fourth attempt, the last crocodile bit through the shoe and into his foot. The fifth attempt is one seen on film, with the tied-down crocodiles snapping at his feet as he passes over them.
In the same film, Jerry Comeaux as James Bond jumps his speedboat over a police car, a record that remained for 15 years.
"Bumps" Williard as James Bond driving a AMC Hornet leaps a broken bridge and spins around 360 degrees in mid-air, doing an "aerial twist". Willard was paid £30,000 for the stunt, which was held under EON Productions copyright for several years afterwards.
A major character dies when the rope bridge he is standing on is cut. British stuntman Joe Powell volunteered for the stunt after the rest of the stuntmen came down with a mysterious ailment. He fell onto cardboard boxes balanced on the edge of a ravine. If he had missed the boxes, no safety wire or parachute would have stopped him falling to the bottom of the ravine. Making the situation more dangerous was the rope bridge, which caused Powell to spin as he fell.
Rick Sylvester playing James Bond escapes the bad guys by skiing off a cliff in the Austrian Alps (actually Mount Asgard in the Arctic Circle) then releasing a parachute. Sylvester waited two weeks for the weather atop Mount Asgard to change. Finally he had a 15 minute window to make the jump. Five cameras were meant to record the stunt, but only the master shot worked. Sylvester was allegedly paid US$100,000 for the stunt. As he falls, one of his skis hits the parachute on its way down. It shows just how dangerous the stunt really was.
A.J. Bakunas as Hollywood stuntman Hooper leaps from a helicopter onto an airbag below, a record that remains to this day.
The hero fights the villain atop the world's tallest freestanding structure, Toronto's CN Tower, and the villain loses. Doubling the villain was Dar Robinson who opened his parachute just from the ground after a fall lasting six seconds. Robinson was paid US$100,000.
Corrie Jansen leaps from a cliff, a record freefall for a woman.
Indiana Jones climbs underneath a moving truck and is dragged along behind it before climbing back on board. The stunt was performed by Terry Leonard. Leonard agreed to do the stunt only if his good friend, stuntman Glenn H. Randall Jr., was driving the truck.
The Bandit leaps his Pontiac Trans-Am motorcar from the back of trailer, setting a record that remains to this day.
Sharky (Burt Reynolds) punches the villain through the window of the Hyatt Regency AtlantaTo achieve the affect, stuntman Dar Robinson. ran at the window, then at the last moment, spun around to go backwards through the glass and land on an airbag. It is the highest freefall from a building without a cable or parachute.
Renegade cop Roy Scheider, flying the state-of the-art "Blue Thunder" helicopter, is chased by a police helicopter down storm drains in Los Angeles, weaving between the varying support legs until his pursuer eventually crashes.
Vince Deadrick Jr. and Terry Leonard as Joan Wilder and Jack Colton leap from a car as it falls over an waterfall.
During the skateboard chase, Marty McFly runs over the top of Biff Tannen's convertible and rejoins his skateboard on the other side.
While rampaging through a mall, Genghis Khan rides up to a trampoline, does a somersault off of it, and lands back on his skateboard.
Dar Robinson asked to play the part of the albino killer in this Burt Reynolds directed Elmore Leonard adaptation so the audience would be more shocked by the villain's death. Without cutting away, Robinson was filmed falling backwards off a hotel balcony emptying his revolver at Reynolds' as he fell. A thin cable ran up Robinson's leg to a harness around his waist to arrest his fall just feet off the ground.
This was the third variation on a stunt that had appeared first in Moonraker and then in Octopussy; James Bond battles a bad guy while they are both hanging outside a plane. In this case, Bond and the villainous Necros fight as they cling to a cargo net filled with bags of opium hanging out the rear of a Soviet cargo plane. All three stunt sequences were done with ace parachutists Jake Lombard and B.J. Worth. Lombard, who had previously doubled for Roger Moore, took the part of Necros here, while Worth finally got to play Bond by doubling Timothy Dalton.
Nick Gillard as Eric Visser jumps his speedboat over a bridge in Amsterdam, breaking the record previously set by Live and Let Die.
Vic Armstrong as Indiana Jones rides his horse onto a ledge and jumps onto a moving Nazi tank.
The killer robot T-1000 flies a helicopter in a freeway chase after a S.W.A.T. van driven by The Terminator and at one point flies under an overpass. As if to prove the stunt was done for real, the pilot attempts a second underpass, but flies away at the last second.
Corrupt Treasury agent Travers hijacks a jet carrying US$100 million, then slides down a cable to the villains' Learjet. British stuntman Simon Crane performed the stunt. When the film's budget could not afford the one million dollars needed to complete the sequence, lead actor Sylvester Stallone agreed to cut his salary by the same amount.
Stuntman Billy Morts doubles for actor Keanu Reeves as L.A.P.D. cop Jack Traven, who rips the door off a Jaguar sports car then leaps to the open door of a speeding bus, his feet scraping against the ground.
Wayne Michaels as James Bond bungee jumps over a dam to break into a Russian chemical weapons factory. Michaels reached during the jump and came perilously close to the sloping surface of the dam, which was studded with irons struts that could have torn him to pieces. The stunt was further complicated as Bond had to take out a gun during the fall, which threw Michaels off trajectory.
Echoing The Man with the Golden Gun, Gary Powell as James Bond leaps his boat in a 360 degree spin, wrecking a gun emplacement on the bad girl's boat.
Sebastian Foucan as an African bombmaker eludes Daniel Craig's James Bond using free running style parkour. Foucan's (and the stunt's) notation in the opening credits were a first.
Stuntwork accounts for over half of all film-related injuries, with an average of 5 deaths for every 2,000 injuries. From 1980 to 1990 there were 37 deaths relating to accidents during stunts, twenty-four of these deaths involved the use of helicopters.
A plane crash killed stunt Nopilot [[Ormer Locklear.
Margaret Hamilton was badly burned during a scene in which her character 'vanished' in a burst of flame and smoke, a delay in activating a trap-door catching her in the pyrotechnic device. Her stuntwoman was also injured in a scene involving a smoking broomstick
Stuntman Bob Morgan was seriously injured filming a gunfight on a moving train. Chains holding logs on a flatbed car broke, crushing Morgan as he crouched beside them.
Stunt pilot Paul Mantz was killed, and another stuntman seriously injured, when the title plane failed to clear a sand dune and crashed.
During a scene for Episode 9 ("The Terrifying Cobra-Man"), lead actor Hiroshi Fujioka, fractured his thighbone in a motorcycle stunt when he rode into a telephone pole at 50mph, forcing him out of action. Producers had to use stock and unused footage which was dubbed by Rokurô Naya for the next four episode, causing a dip in the ratings. Producers eventually had no choice but to substituted him with a second character played by Takeshi Sasaki. Fujioka made a return in Episode 53 ("Monster Jaguarman - Deathmatch by Motorcycle Fight"). As neither actors could be axed, the show eded up having two heroes (as opposed to one).
A.J. Bakunas died doubling for George Kennedy in a fall from the Kincaid Towers in Lexington, Kentucky, for the movie "Steel". Bakunas had successfully performed a fall from the ninth floor of the construction site, but when he learned that Dar Robinson had broken his record high fall for a non-movie related publicity stunt, Bakunas returned to perform the fall from the top of the construction site. Bakunas performed the fall expertly, but the airbag split and Bakunas was killed.
While filming a high speed chase in the bobsleigh-run the four-man bob came out of the run at the wrong place and hit a tree. One of its occupants, a young stuntman named Paolo Rigon, was killed.
The making of the movie Twilight Zone had consequences that overshadowed the film itself. During the filming of a segment directed by John Landis on July 23, 1982, actor Vic Morrow and child actors My-Ca Dinh Le (aged 7) and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (aged 6) died in an accident involving a helicopter being used on the set. Without warning, it spun out of control and crashed, decapitating Morrow and one of the children with its blades. The remaining child was crushed to death as the helicopter crashed.
Stuntwoman Heidi van Beltz is left a paraplegic after being thrown from her car during a crash.
Stunt pilot Art Scholl was killed in an aircraft crash.
During the filming of a scene which called for Jackie Chan to jump from a wall to a tree branch, unhappy with the first shoot, he performed a second shoot that went wrong as his grip on the branch slipped and Jackie fell 15 feet to the ground below. He landed hard on his head, causing part of his skull to crack and shoot up into his brain. He was flown to the hospital and was in surgery 8 hours later. He now has a plastic plug, and a permanent hole in his head. He is also slightly hard of hearing in one ear from that fall.
Stuntman Dar Robinson dies in a motorcycle accident.
Stuntman Clint Carpenter dies in a helicopter stunt.
In one of the most high profile stunt deaths Brandon Lee the star of the The Crow was killed 8 days before that film's completion. Prop Masters working under time constraints had failed to notice that the previous firing of a cartridge with only a primer and a bullet in had caused a bullet to lodge in the forcing cone of one of their revolvers. When the first unit used this gun to shoot the death scene, the chamber was loaded with blanks which had no bullets. However, there was still the bullet in the barrel, which was propelled out by the blank cartridge's explosion. Despite being rushed to hospital Lee died within a matter of hours.
Stuntwoman Janet Wilder is killed and four other people are injured when a speedboat misjudges a ramp and lands in a crowd.
Actress Michelle Yeoh, who usually perform her own stunts was seriously injured when she misjudged jump off a bridge onto a truck, fracturing a vertebra and was in traction for a month, this sequence can be seen at the end of the film. This was her last stuntwork before Tomorrow Never Dies
Professional wrestler Owen Hart died in May 1999's WWE/WWF PPV Over the Edge 1999 after he was scheduled to glide down from the rafters for a ring entrance. This stunt was botched and Owen fell over to the ring below.
Stuntman Harry L. O'Connor was killed in an accident when he failed to rappel parasailing line to land on the submarine, he impacted a bridge at high speed and was killed instantly.
Movies such as Hooper and The Stunt Man and the 80s television show The Fall Guy sought to raise the profile of the stunt performer and debunk the myth that movie stars perform all their own stunts. Noted stunt coordinators Hal Needham, Craig R. Baxley and Vic Armstrong went on to direct the action films The Cannonball Run, Action Jackson, Joshua Tree (1993 film). Vic Armstrong became the first stuntman to win both an Academy Award (for developing a descender rig as a safe alternative to airbags) and a Bafta award (for lifetime achievement in film). But the status of stuntmen in Hollywood is still low; despite the fact that few films of any genre or type could be made without them, stunt performers are still seen as working mainly in action movies. Repeated campaigns for a "Best Stunts" Academy Award have been rejected.
In 2001, the first "World Stunt Awards" was held in Los Angeles. Presented by actor Alec Baldwin, the event had A-list stars presenting the statues to Hollywood's unsung heroes. Arnold Schwarzenegger was presented with the first "Lifetime Achievement" award. He presented the awards in 2001. The awards show hands out eight awards: Best Fight, Best Fire Stunt, Best High Work, Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Man, Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Woman, Best Speciality Stunt, Best Work with a Vehicle and Best Stunt Coordinator and/or 2nd Unit Director.
Shows such as "Jackass" on MTV2, Dirty Sanchez on British TV, and "Totally Outrageous Behavior" on the American G4 feature people doing outrageous stunts.

I was wondering could I use charisma tint, as foundation and apply loose powder on top?
Since its summer would i apply sunscreen under or on top of the product (so it look 'natural'?
Is it long lasting?
Can i use it on top of a foundation/ and as a bronzer?
Any ideas/tips on how to use tthe product?
thank youAsked on 7/22/2012 by CuriousLOLA
1 answer
A:Charisma has a light texture, so it may not be opaque enough to be used as a foundation. Instead, I'd give the Colour Supplements a try, as they will give much better coverage. As for sunscreen, I'd recommend applying it first, then then your makeup on top.
I like to use Charisma as a bronzer to darken any areas that would naturally be a little more tanned by the sun, such as below the cheekbones, on the forehead, or anywhere else you'd typically apply your bronzer. Blend it well, and your skin will be gorgeous!Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct

Definition of Virus, human immunodeficiency (HIV)
Virus, human immunodeficiency (HIV): The cause of AIDS. HIV has also been called the human lymphotropic virus type III, the lymphadenopathy-associated virus and the lymphadenopathy virus. No matter what name is applied, it is a retrovirus. (A retrovirus has an RNA genome and a reverse transcriptase enzyme. Using the reverse transcriptase, the virus uses its RNA as a template for making complementary DNA which can integrate into the DNA of the host organism). Although the American researcher Robert Gallo at the National Institutes of Health believed he was the first to find HIV, it is now generally accepted that the French physician Luc Montagnier (1932-) and his team at the Pasteur Institute discovered HIV in 1983-84.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

EMERALD ISLE — Katie Nickels first learned CPR as a sixth grader as part of a babysitting class but had never used it in a real-life situation.
Until this week.
Nickels, now 17, answered a call for help Tuesday evening in Emerald Isle and is credited with performing CPR on 3-year-old Lilly Russell, who had fallen into a pool and was unresponsive.
"I was freaked out, but I knew I had to be calm," she said in an interview Friday.
She said after being certified in CPR two subsequent times, she was confident in using the skills she learned.
"I was pretty confident because I had learned CPR three times," she said.
After performing two rounds of CPR, Lilly started breathing on her own again and was transported to medical care. Lilly was stable at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville Friday and expected to recover.
"I'm very proud and glad I could be there," she said.
The Town of Emerald Isle and Emerald Isle EMS recognized Katie for her actions during an informal ceremony Friday at the town administration building.
She was presented with a certificate of appreciation from the town and made an honorary member of Emerald Isle EMS.
"It was a heroic effort for a 17-year-old to step up and help a 3-year-old," EMS Chief Susan Walker said.
Walker said she rode in the ambulance with Lilly during the rescue call and commended Katie for doing just what she was trained to do.
"She did it perfectly," said.
But Katie didn't act alone.
On the evening of July 2, two families vacationing in the same community crossed paths.
According to information from the town, Emily Russell of Charlotte was playing with her daughter at the house they had rented. She was putting away her camera after snapping a picture of her and Lilly at the edge of the pool and when she turned around Lilly was face down in the water.
She pulled her daughter out of the water and started screaming for help.
Katie, who lives in Wake Forest and has been on vacation with her family in Emerald Isle, had just come in from a day at the beach when she was summoned by her sisters, Carly Nickels, 19, and Lacey Nickels, 15, who were among those who heard the screams for help and assisted.
Carly had learned CPR in high school but knew her sister, Katie, was certified.
"I'm so glad she was there to help," she said.
Their mother, Sharon Latinik, was also on scene to help until emergency medical personnel could arrive.
Mayor Art Schools commended everyone who came out to assist the Russell family, from the Nickels family and neighbors who responded to Russell's call for help and emergency responders who provided care until Lilly arrived at Carteret General, where she was taken before being transferred to Vidant.
"This is a prime example of how what we have learned, even years later, can be of benefit," Schools said.
For Katie Nickels the reward for learning CPR is knowing that Lilly is expected to recover.
Billy and Becky Broom of Cary said their great-niece remains in stable condition and is improving.
"She gets a little better each day but still has a long way to go," Billy Broom said.
They are thankful Katie was there to perform the life-saving CPR for Lilly.
"It's like she was meant to be there, that's the way we see it," Becky Broom said.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's thoughts following LA's 4-0 defeat to Isidro Metapán.
(On the loss…)
ARENA: "It was a poor performance on our part. A lot of our young players learned in a tough way tonight. They weren't ready to play and too many didn't respond well to the magnitude of the game. Unfortunately, we got beat pretty good. Our effort in the second half was a little bit better, but not a whole lot better."
(On whether it was better to learn in these conditions rather than in more serious situation…)
ARENA: "Obviously, it makes for a great matchup next year with Tijuana. It'll be a lot of fun. That's a great match up for us. I'm excited for that, but I'm certainly disappointed in our performance tonight."
(On the lesson that his team must learn from the result…)
ARENA: "These young players, [they need to learn] the mental preparation of stepping on the field and being ready to play. We opened the game with an opportunity from Jose Villarreal in the opening minute of the game and then concede the first goal, and then they put their heads down and got beat soundly. Mental preparation for a lot of the players was an important lesson tonight."
(On the lack of offensive rhythm from LA…)
ARENA: "The field wasn't easy, but having said that our opponents scored four goals and you can't attribute that to the field. A bunch of players didn't play well. We had a great chance to start the game and it could have made all the difference in the world. Having said that, we need to concede the fact that we were beaten for 90 minutes. This wasn't a game that was close in the first half; we were getting beat to too many balls. But on the whole, I thought that Leonardo played very well for us, I was very encouraged by his play. I think that he was our best performer over the 90 minutes and Jose Villarreal did a decent job. Others didn't play well."
(On Nicolas Munoz's success…)
ARENA: "The first goal, I can't even explain what happened there. … in the second goal there was a mistake by Tommy [Meyer] and we were punished for that."
(On facing Tijuana…)
ARENA: "It's a great matchup. That's exciting for our team next March. That'll be great for our fans and the Tijuana fans."
(On turning the page against Seattle…)
ARENA: "It'll be a great game in Seattle. We're hoping that our team will come out ready to play."
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – The LA Galaxy's youth has served them well throughout their CONCACAF Champions League campaign, but it was exposed as they fell 4-0 to Isidro Metapan in their Group 8 finale at Estadio Cuscatlán.
Nicolas Munoz tallied four goals in the first half to seal the victory for the Salvadorian side, who were in control throughout the match. Struggling in the attack from the start, the Galaxy's best opportunities came from Jose Villarreal who was unlucky not to find the back of the net in the first minute and then saw a header saved by Metapán goalkeeper Fidel Mondragon in the 75th minute.
The defeat sets up a match against Liga MX side Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. LA will be seeded sixth for the CCL quarterfinals which resume in March.
Thoughts on the defeat? Happy about the match against Club Tijuana?

In a touching and moving edition of the LA Galaxy travel vlog in El Salvador, I travel with Mauricio Cienfuegos to his old neighborhood.
Check it out below...
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – Isidro Metapán may be playing for purely pride, but the LA Galaxy expect that to be a very dangerous thing when the two teams face off on Thursday at the Estadio Cuscatlán.
The tournament has hardly gone according to plan for the Salvadorians, who have earned just a single point in three CONCACAF Champions League matches. The fact that the team is unable to play at their home stadium in Metapán due to field size concerns from CONCACAF has not helped as the team dropped their last match in San Salvador 4-2 to C.S. Cartaginés.
That being said, the Galaxy expect Metapán to be eager to send the Galaxy to the CCL quarterfinals on a losing note.
"We don't expect them to roll over at all; you're always playing for pride especially when you're in front of your home crowd in your home country against big clubs like the Galaxy. We expect them to test us," said goalkeeper Brian Rowe. "They did well with their counter attack last time, but we're going to try to do a better job of keeping compact in the back and applying pressure on them early."
Metapán's pride won't be the only issue for LA as they'll have to deal with a thick grass surface at Estadio Cuscatlán that is a far cry from the heavily manicured pitches that are provided in MLS play.
"The grass is a lot thicker than what we're used to. It's a big and old stadium, but it'll be exciting with fans inside," said forward Jack McBean. "We just have to play firm balls and get your touch in front of you because the ball is going to check up on you and stick in the grass.
In the latest edition of the LA Galaxy travel vlog, I help preview Thursday's match against Isidro Metapan.
Check it out below. Also be sure to read my Three Points to the match.
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador. Heading into the final two CONCACAF Champions League matches, I've broken down all the scenarios for the LA Galaxy's potential opponents in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.
Unless the Galaxy can defeat Isidro Metpan by a margin of six or more goals, the Houston Dynamo's match in Panama against Arabe Unido will play a direct impact on LA's next opponent.
Check out all the scenarios below...
Win by six goals over Isidro Metapan:
No. 1 LA Galaxy face No. 8 San Jose Earthquakes in CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.
Win by a margin between three to five goals and the Houston Dynamo draws Arabe Unido:
No. 2 LA Galaxy face No. 7 Houston Dynamo.
Win by a margin between three to five goals and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido win:
No. 2. LA Galaxy face No. 7 Sporting Kansas City.
Win by a margin between one to two goals and the Houston Dynamo draws Arabe Unido:
No. 3 LA Galaxy face No. 6 Sporting Kansas City.
Win by a margin between one and two goals and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido win by less than five goals:
No. 3 LA Galaxy face No. 6 Alajuelense.
Tie vs. Isidro Metapan and the Houston Dynamo draws Arabe Unido:
No. 4 LA Galaxy face No. 5 Alajuelense.
Tie and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido wins their match by less than two goals:
No. 4 LA Galaxy face No. 5 Houston Dynamo/Arabe Unido.
Tie and the Houston Dynamo wins by more than three or more goals over Arabe Unido win by more than three goals:
No. 4 Houston Dynamo/Arabe Unido face No. 5 LA Galaxy.
Lose vs. Isidro Metapan by less than three and the Houston Dynamo draws Arabe Unido:
No. 4 LA Galaxy face No. 5 Alajuelense.
Lose by more than three and the Houston Dynamo draws Arabe Unido:
No. 4 Alajuelense face No. 5 LA Galaxy.
Lose by less than three and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido win by less than two goals:
No. 4 Houston Dynamo face No. 5 LA Galaxy OR No. 4 LA Galaxy vs. No. 5 Arabe Unido.
Lose by three or more and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido win by a margin of three to five goals:
No. 3 Club Tijuana face No. 6 LA Galaxy.
Lose by three or more and the Houston Dynamo or Arabe Unido win by a margin of five or more goals:
No. 3 Houston Dynamo face No. 6 LA Galaxy OR No. 3 Club Tijuana face No. 6 LA Galaxy.
Based on this match and LA's status as a favorite, Alajuelense seems to be the most likely opponent -- if there is a result in Panama City -- for the LA Galaxy.
What do you think?
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – Suspended for the LA Galaxy's MLS Regular Season finale against Seattle Sounders FC, Brazilian midfielder Juninho is expected to log plenty of minutes in Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League match against Isidro Metapán.
Juninho picked up his fifth yellow card in the closing stages of Sunday's scoreless draw with the San Jose Earthquakes, which ruled him out for the Seattle trip, but with the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs looming, the midfielder believes it's imperative for him to stay sharp by featuring in El Salvador.
"I know that I need to keep my fitness in good shape so I'm going to play significant minutes tomorrow and I hope that we can get points here and get 12 points in total," Juninho told LAGalaxy.com at the team's training session at the Estadio Cuscatlán on Wednesday. "I hope that I can pass my experience onto the guys on the field and make them comfortable. We're going to try hard to get three points."
LA will try to get those points at the cavernous Estadio Cuscatlán where the shaggy field conditions may be an issue. A far cry from the well groomed pitches in MLS, Cuscatlán's thick grass surface is likely to play a role in Thursday's contest.
Although this may have been an issue for other players, Juninho believes that he can equip himself well to the conditions.
"It's very familiar to me because in Brazil where I grew up, we have a couple stadiums like this where the grass is very long like it is here," said Juninho. "It's a little difficult compared to the American stadiums, but we'll need to do our best and not focus on those issues."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have a hefty portion on their plate this week as they close out the CONCACAF Champions League against Isidro Metapán in El Salvador before changing gears three days later to take on Seattle Sounders FC in their MLS regular season finale.
The two game slate promises to be a challenging one that will cause the Galaxy to utilize their entire squad and LA head coach Bruce Arena takes full responsibility for their congested schedule. Arena noted following the Galaxy's final training session before departing for El Salvador that he was aware of the busy schedule last December, but the club and MLS were unable to work with CONCACAF to prevent MLS teams from playing in the final week.
"I think that the whole exercise of us playing this week is stupid. I take the majority of the blame for that. I should not have allowed this to happen. It is poor communication and procedure on a part of the LA Galaxy, CONCACAF and MLS. This shouldn't have happened at this time. There are teams in our group that are finished and there aren't any other leagues that are in their last week. We should have been the league not playing this week.
Thoughts on Arena's comments?
Share them below.
CARSON, Calif. – It's a travel day for the LA Galaxy as they'll head to El Salvador in preparation for Thursday's match against Isidro Metapán.
A year ago, the Galaxy traveled commercially to El Salvador ahead of their clash with Isidro Metapán, but with the team facing a pair of vital matches this week, LA will once again travel to Central America via charter.
"We'll be chartering so it takes two and a half hours off the trip," said midfielder Michael Stephens. "Also, it helps us so we can leave immediately following the game in El Salvador and focus right away on Seattle."

ABOUT THE BOOK: Susannah Baylor reluctantly hires Henry Buckmeyer to help her along the Jefferson Trace, the hard stretch of land between her Texas farm and the cotton market, where she's determined to get a fair price for her crop. It's been a long, rough ten years and the widow's in danger of losing the land her husband and his brother left to her and the children, but she needs help to get both her wagons safely to Jefferson. She knows Henry's reputation as a lay-about and is prepared for his insolence, but she never expects his good looks or irresistible, gentle manner. Soon they are entwined in a romantic relationship that only gets more complicated because Henry doesn't know God the way she does. Dangers arise on the trace--but none as difficult as the trial her heart is going through. Will Susannah and Henry's love overcome their differences? And will she get her crop to market and sale it for enough to save her farm? In this heartening and adventurous tale, a young woman's fortitude, faith, and and heart are put to the ultimate test.
Books will be available for purchase at the event. The Main Library is located at 901 Conover Drive.

I would like some comments on this question.
I believe I read in Richard Dawkins' book "The God Delusion" that to claim to be an agnostic was like straddling the fence, rather than admitting that you don't believe in a god. Dr. Bart Ehrman, the bible scholar, claims to have lost his belief and is now an agnostic.
There are many situations where we may not have all the facts but we still come to a conclusion or final belief, for example, in a criminal trial. Maybe the question of the existence of god is a different matter.
Anyway, I think Richard Dawkins also said something like - I don't know if there is a god, but based on the facts, I think his existence is very improbable. And I choose to live my life accordingly.
Excuse my rambling, but any comments on the appropriateness of "agnostic" versus "atheist"?
Thank you.

New Year's Resolutions: Grow Fast in 2012
Push further into e-commerceLaunch a new business divisionServe customers wellPromote better healthGet back to basicsDominate the freelance marketReach more customersExpand the product lineForge new partnershipsInvest in employees
One thing all these Inc. 500 CEOs agree on: faster growth. But each has a different resolution on how to grow at break-neck speeds in 2012. From investing in employees to expanding product lines, here's what you can glean from these Inc. 500 honorees.
In 2011, Thrillist expanded its e-newsletter for men to Minneapolis and Detroit and launched a daily deals platform, Thrillist Rewards. JackThreads, the private sales site it acquired in 2010, grew to 1.5 million members. The company's gradual shift into retail is a harbinger of things to come in 2012, says CEO Ben Lerer: "We're definitely going to continue our investment in the intersection of content and commerce."
Phenomenon, a Los Angeles company that develops marketing and entertainment concepts, nearly doubled its revenue this year on the strength of four new clients. For 2012, CEO Krishnan Menon plans to create a new business division for industrial design and to open offices in San Francisco and London. Menon, an avid collector of Archie comics , also hopes to track down a copy of Pep Comics #22, the first edition to feature Archie.
Marketing software company HubSpot, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has raised $32 million from the likes of Sequoia, Google, and Salesforce.com and acquired two companies. Those moves point to one clear goal in 2012, says CEO Brian Halligan: "Delight our customers." Indeed, Halligan has consistently pointed to serving customers better, by providing tools for social media and medium-sized businesses, as the motivation behind HubSpot's recent acquisitions.
After once having to pull its dried-fruit snacks out of grocery stores, Peeled Snacks returned to supermarkets this year. The Brooklyn-based company also boosted its sustainability cred by earning B Corp certification. In January, says CEO Noha Waibsnaider, Peeled Snacks will kick off its Real Energy Challenge, designed to promote habits for well-balanced living.
Despite recently expanding his company's product line, Randy Hetrick, CEO and founder of fitness company TRX, is focused on just one goal for 2012: "Get back to scrappy, perfect our basic blocks and tackles, and do fewer things, better." To that end, the San Francisco-based company has recently reorganized the company into business units based on its key market segments.
In 2012, oDesk, which runs an online marketplace for freelance work, aims to grab the lion's share of its market. CEO Gary Swart projects that by March, the company, based in Redwood City, California, will have facilitated more than $500 million worth of contracts. That strong activity, he hopes, will fuel oDesk's sixth year of 100 percent revenue growth.
Organic pet food maker Stella & Chewy's hopes to gain much greater market visibility next year. To that end, the Muskego, Wisconsin-based company has welcomed a new CEO and chief financial officer, quadrupled its manufacturing capacity by moving to a larger facility, and launched a new cat-food line. Now, founder Marie Moody plans to reach new customers through product sampling and other grassroots marketing strategies—one inspired by Dumb and Dumber.
In 2011, Shazi Visram expanded her New York City-based organic-food company's focus beyond babies to children of all ages. To build upon that progress, HappyFamily (formerly HappyBaby) plans to add even more products next year, such as organic snack packs for preschoolers. In addition, Visram aims to expand into more geographic areas. But pacing HappyFamily's growth is equally important to her: "I want to make sure the break-neck growth doesn't really break my neck!"
Last year, animal health insurance company Petplan, based in Philadelphia, teamed up with Capital BlueCross to offer pet insurance to plan holders. Husband-and-wife team Chris and Natasha Ashton hope to accomplish the same with other insurance providers in 2012. They also plan to begin selling pet insurance plans in Canada. But those are just small steps, they say, towards their ultimate long-term goal: cracking $1 billion in revenue.
For Air Force veteran Jan Adams, hiring service-disabled veterans is a priority. In fact, many of her 2012 goals for JMA Solutions, her Washington, D.C.-based government-contracting firm, center upon employees: she plans to bolster recruitment efforts and invest in morale boosters for current staff. Beyond that, Adams aims to diversify business beyond the company's primary client, the Federal Aviation Administration and step up the company's charity efforts.

Our New E-Newsletter Is Here!
Dick was referred to and met with Dr. Kevin Emerick of Mass. Eye and Ear's Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Service. Dr. Emerick treats those with head and neck tumors, benign and cancerous. Dr. Emerick explains, "It is one of the great things about the Mass. Eye and Ear. You can find someone who is specialized in a patient-specific need and really focuses in on those areas. We are able to provide that sub-specialized care that is really unique and special."
Dick had a long treatment process, starting with a trip to the operating room to remove the tonsil, followed by rounds of combined chemotherapy and radiation."I never had my tonsils out as a kid," explains Dick, "So on Dec. 14, 2009, I became the world's oldest person to have a tonsillectomy."
After that he had a second surgery, a neck dissection, for the removal of the lymph nodes. There have been exciting, recent developments in treatment options. Dr. Emerick explains that because of recent improvements in fiberoptics, lasers, and instruments that provide better access to the back of the throat, there is a trend toward surgery as a primary treatment for tumors in this area.
Dick has now made a full recovery. "I was concerned that the cancer was around my voice box, because if I can't bamboozle people, I got nothing. It's the only skill I possess," he jokes.
"Dr. Emerick saved my life. That is not hyperbole. That's not exaggeration. That is a simple statement of fact," says Dick.

We're pleased to be able to offer more specialists, easier access and greater convenience with our newest Mass. Eye and Ear locations. Construction on our new ambulatory surgical center in the Longwood Medical/Mission Hill area is now well underway. We look forward to our expected grand opening in the fall.
Our world-renowned, specialty care is now more accessible to patients living South of Boston, too. Mass. Eye and Ear South brings together physician offices in Weymouth, Milton, Duxbury, East Bridgewater, Braintree and Quincy, which includes a diagnostic center with a CT scan, sleep lab and minor procedure room.
In addition, our ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and audiologists are ready to treat patients North of Boston at our Stoneham locations. And we recently held an open house to celebrate the opening of our Concord location, which offers state-of-the-art audiology services, including a hearing aid center, as well as ear, nose and throat services. Visit MassEyeandEar.org for information about all our locations.

October 4, 2013
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A new report says community corrections programs in West Virginia are succeeding at keeping nonviolent offenders out of prisons and jails.
Between July 1, 2012 and June, 30, 2013, 3,862 offenders were placed in the programs, which are offered in 49 of the state's 55 counties, according to the Community Corrections Act Fiscal 2013 report.
More than 1,400 offenders successfully completed assigned counseling and training programs.
"The numbers are encouraging. Judges are using the program," Norbert Federspiel, director of the state Division of Justice and Community Service, told the Charleston Gazette.
A total 3,364 offenders stopped participating in the programs in the 2013 fiscal year, the report said. Federspiel said that they may have been remanded to state prisons or regional jails for violations, or may have completed their sentences without finishing the programs.
The most common crimes for offenders placed in community corrections are drug-related charges, larceny, embezzlement, fraud or forgery, driving under the influence, domestic battery, and public intoxication, the report said.
The programs, enacted in 2001, allow judges to sentence nonviolent offenders to day reporting centers. The centers provide counseling, adult education and/or job training. Offenders also participate in community service projects, including litter pickup, snow removal and work at nursing homes.
"Judges, by and large, are very enthusiastic about community corrections, and about certain people going that way," State Supreme Court Administrator Steve Canterbury told the newspaper.
Federspiel said that it's difficult to estimate the programs' cost-savings.
Canterbury said that community corrections' real value is the comparatively low repeat-offender rate for those who complete the programs.
"They learn how to control their impulses. They learn how to control their anger, and they learn to choose their friends a little better," said Canterbury, who is a longtime advocate of community corrections.
Community corrections programs received more than $1.5 million in grants and $5 million in budget appropriations in the fiscal 2013 year.

I'm a frequent Giant shopper, so will post a few of the upcoming deals for 2/22-2/28:
Perdue cutlets are BOGO
Perdue Breaded Chicken $1 (3-8-09) V 1/11/09
Giant whole chickens are 69 cents/lb. This is the lowest price I've seen in a while. Time to buy a couple chickens, roast 'em, shred the meat, and freeze it in small portions for later use in casseroles, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc.

PhillyJan to Acme: It's been almost a year, hand over the soup!
Sale ends on Saturday the 21st. Giant has assorted varieties of cheerios on sale for 4 for $ 6.00, but you must buy 4. Amounts greater or less than 4 are $ 2.49 ea.
The Giant's in my area will double coupons up to 99 cents. They will only double the first of multiple coupons. So for example let's say you use 4 coupons that are .55 off 1 Banana Nut Cheerios, they will double the first coupon to $ 1.10 but the other three will remain .55. I used 4 different coupons so they all doubled.
Here's how I did it: Coupon
1 - box Banana Nut Cheerios - $ 1.50 - $ 1.10 = .40 ($ .55 Bricks)
1 - box Honey Nut Cheerios - $ 1.50 - $ 1.10 = .40 ($ .55 Bricks)
1 - box Apple Cinna. Cheerios - $ 1.50 - $ 1.50 = Free ($ .75 Bricks)
1 - box Apple Cinna. Cheerios - $ 1.50 - $ 1.50 = Free ($ .75 Smartsource)
That's 4 boxes for .80
Of course I went back and got another 4 boxes later today since I had printed these coupons twice. Hope some other SDers can take advantage of this deal.
Move, what are you confused about? Not sure how to help you. Cuez laid out the scenario pretty nicely, I thought. If she'd wanted to buy 4 banana nut Cheerios, and given the cashier four of the .55-off 1 box coupons, the register would only double one of those coupons, per Giant's policy. Having different coupons for each box meant that the coupons would all double. You can get the printable coupons she used by checking smartsource.com and this thread.
I'm off to Giant tonight. Will be getting some of the Chef Boyardee pasta that's on sale 10/$10. At one of my stores, you get $5 off wyb 8. I have coupons for $1/5 cans (I think they're from the 1/4/09 SS). So, getting 25 cans. $25-$15 promo (8x3)=$10-$5 coupons=$5 for 25 cans, or 20 cents/can. These will be going to the local food bank. Thanks to coupon kung fu , I've been able to donate nearly $800 worth of stuff to the food bank in the last few months, at a cost to me of about $40.
Here are the Colgate Qs (from the alpha list of unexpired Qs, in this forum):
Colgate Advanced Whitening, Total Advanced Clean or Total Advanced Fresh only 4.0oz+ $1 (2-21-09) SS 2/1/09
Colgate Toothpaste Adult or Children's 4.0oz+ .75 (2-21-09) SS 2/1/09

I was just surprised about the fact that I need to use differents coupon in order to get doubled...Each store have their rules I guess
That's a good question. There seems to be so much variation just among Giants in my area ... ugh! I had a so-so run tonight. They aren't real great about shelf tags, and I tried to reproduce the Cheerios deal, but the .75/1 multigrain Cheerios Q beeped, didn't double, and they were going to deny it (it says one per purchase ... the old purchase/transaction misunderstanding again... sigh). Also, for some odd reason the .50/1 multigrain Cheerios Q from the paper didn't double correctly--only got 51 cents for it So I ended up paying $2.24 for 4 boxes; not bad, but I was expecting to pay $1 for all 4.
I have enough coupons to redo this deal tomorrow at another Giant, but I'm not sure if I'm up to it
