New EMT trainings cause concernBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | December 24,2012Mark Collier / Staff File PhotO
Barre City emergency personnel prepare a crash victim for transport earlier this year. A new system will reclassify the different kinds of emergency workers, and the types of aid they can provide.WATERBURY Some are questioning the states practices regarding the re-licensing of individuals who teach emergency workers how to save lives.
The states Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is in the process of transitioning to the new National EMS Scope of Practice and Education Standards that describes what a licensed emergency worker can and cant legally do. Vermonts EMS director, Chris Bell, said the new protocols will call for additional skills and a more comprehensive understanding of human anatomy and physiology.
Bell said the new system will also reclassify the various levels of emergency medical workers. The 232 emergency care attendants in the state will now be called emergency responders; the 1,305 basic emergency medical technicians will now be called emergency medical technicians; the 847 intermediate emergency medical technicians will be called advanced emergency technicians; and the 262 emergency medical technician paramedics will now be called paramedics.
As part of the transition to the new Scope of Practice, a training session of roughly 3 1/2 hours was held in October at an EMS conference in Burlington. About 45 of the states approximately 75 instructor-coordinators people who train emergency medical workers attended lectures on the new protocols and took part in hands-on skills training activities. At the conclusion of the training session, all the instructor-coordinators in attendance were told they were now licensed under the new system.
Bell said those who didnt attend the training session will have to take a transitional course which the state is recommending be at least 13 hours in length. EMS districts throughout the state can require additional hours of training if necessary depending on the experience and competencies of the medical workers being trained.
Mark Podgwaite training coordinator for EMS District 6 in the Barre-Montpelier area and chairman of District 5 in the St. Johnsbury area said many states around the country are requiring their intermediate EMTs, for example, to take 36 hours of additional training in order to become advanced EMTs.
The brevity of the training session at the October EMS conference has some people worried.
Jayna Guilford, who works for the Waterbury Ambulance Service as an intermediate EMT, said she was a little scared when she heard about the mass licensing session in October and how few hours the instructor-coordinators apparently had to train to get their new licenses.
Emphasizing that she was speaking for herself only, Guilford said, I dont think its a good precedent for Vermont to set, given its peoples lives that we are taking into our hands... Were putting people out at a higher level of certification than theyve been trained for.
She said she would not have accepted that option for upgrading her license if it were offered.
I want to be as prepared as possible, she said. I would not accept a license that I had not been trained on all the aspects and skills for.
Michelle Franklin, who also works for the Waterbury Ambulance Service, is an instructor-coordinator who attended the October training and is now an advanced EMT. Franklin said while she has full confidence in her ability to do the job, having taken a 16-month course for paramedics, she was uncomfortable with giving the new license out so readily to some of the other instructor-coordinators who may not have as much experience or knowledge as she does.
She said the EMS office is taking an approach of I trust youll read and learn this material before you go and teach it.
Bell, the Vermont EMS director, said he could understand the concern if the instructor-coordinators were getting away with something, but he said they are not. He said all EMTs already have to put in 72 hours of training every two years to make sure they stay up-to-date with new practices. Whether the medical workers have to train for three hours or 36 for their new licenses, the figure gets deducted from the 72 hours threshold.
He said any instructor-coordinators who attended the October training session will get credit only for the three and a half hours they were trained.
Bell defended the shorter training session, saying the instructor-coordinators already have a greater depth of understanding of the material than non-instructors, since they work with it and teach it on a regular basis.
He added that anyone who is now considered an advanced EMT cant yet perform any of the new procedures because the state still has yet to formally issue the new protocols. Bell expects the protocols to be finalized in May,
Two public hearings on the new protocols and how they will affect emergency medical services in Vermont are scheduled for Jan 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Jan. 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Vermont Department of Health in Burlington.

Arrests of SC sheriffs have colleagues worried
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Five of South Carolina's 46 sheriffs have faced criminal charges in the past three years, and their colleagues have noticed.
Sheriffs across the state plan to meet in April in Columbia for additional training and talks about what they can do as powerful figures in their counties to stay on the right side of the law.
Jeff Moore of the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association says the sheriffs hope to meet with the Corrections Department and get clarity on what is legal and what isn't with inmate labor. Three of the charged sheriffs are accused of misusing inmate labor.
As the most visible officials in their counties, sheriffs face much political pressure. And South Carolina sheriffs have considerable power. They often decide which cases are pursued, and they can fire deputies for any reason.

We all know that police in general feel they are ABOVE the law, it would require a total change in their way of thinking. This is something everyone knows will not happen. As long as they (Police) realize they aren't going to be held accountable they'll continue to flaunt the law at you and I.116810532

Love at sunset
Image by Bridget
Unfortunately, on most days I don't see the sun set.
She quietly slips away for the night while I'm busy about something or someone - or me...
I wonder if she notices when I don't notice that she's left the room?
On vacation last month, I was much more attentive... Was that only last month? Actually, not even a month yet although it seems like, well it seems much longer than three weeks ago...
Most evenings on vacation I sat and kept faithful vigil as she tricked me into thinking that she was going somewhere for the night while I stayed put...
I fell for it every time.
For her daily departures she never wore the same outfit twice. She always varied the style, the colors, the tones and textures of her heavenly haute couture. Some evenings she left in a dazzle, dressed, I thought, for a grand ball in a palace beyond the horizon... Other nights I think she just slipped away to a small jazz bar on some faraway solar shore to sit and sip a Viognier and spend some time unwinding before rising for the dawn... And on a couple of nights, clouds kept me from seeing how she was dressed... I had to guess at her evening plans and trust that she'd be home in the morning...
How can anything keep me from this nightly rendezvous? What could be more important than this affair with the universe? How could I be too busy for her? Does she miss me? Why don't I miss her more than I do? Why do I take her for granted?
And I do...
Perhaps I do because I know that when I have the time, when I make the time at day's end to look for her, to call on her... she'll be there, right where I left her, waiting to say goodnight again and to kiss my eyes with her beauty...

What a beautiful reflection of love for the sunset. Her beauty is there, not to be touched, only to be gazed upon. She does not miss you, nor does she notice you don't notice she left the room. If she had heart and soul, she would weep for your absence and neglect of her. She would notice you didn't notice she left the room. She would miss you. But the sunset has no soul or heart, just everlasting beauty that shines on the rich, poor, sad, joyful, lonely, and blessed. A beauty created by God.

This is great stuff! I never ceased to be impressed with your talent to find the right words....a gift from God?
Have you ever thought about publishing some of your creative work in a book? When people began to speak of your work, I think it would become a best seller.

Keynote Literacy LectureEvent Details: 4:00 p.m., November 06, Busch Student Center, St. Louis Room, 20 N. Grand Blvd., St. Louis Room (Room 300), Third Floor, St. Louis, MO, 63103
Jerry Harp, Ph.D., professor and poet-in-residence at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Ore., will give the keynote address at this week's opening of the St. Louis Gateway Media Literacy Conference at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, in the St. Louis Room in Busch Student Center.
Harp's lecture, titled "Electronic Literacy: Ong and McLuhan in the Digital Age," discusses the paradox that new technologies never fully obsolesce the old. Often, they reveal new possibilities that promise radical transformation of the earlier media.
Harp, who holds both an M.A. and a Ph.D. from Saint Louis University, enjoys an outstanding reputation as both a poet and a scholar. His most theoretical work, Constant Motion: Ongian Hermeneutics and the Shifting Ground of Early Modern Understanding, placed him among the most creative and wide-ranging interpreters of Walter Ong in the new millennium.
His recent book, For Us, What Music? (2010), a monograph devoted to the poetry of Donald Justice, shows his capacity to work expertly on a more confined subject. He continues to advance his reputation as a poet, with volumes such as Creature and Gatherings, which have brought him favorable attention from both artists and critics.

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong has acknowledged being involved in trade talks recently and now those discussions could be leading to a deal soon.
The Blues have prioritized adding a top-four defenseman this offseason, and after failing to land one in free agency, the trade route may be the club's only option. But while that search continues, Armstrong might have found a veteran forward to add to the mix.
Dallas captain Brenden Morrow is believed to be available and it appears that the Blues have interest. They may not be the only team asking about Morrow, as the New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings may also be in contact with the Stars.
Morrow, 33, has perhaps seen his time pass in Dallas. The Stars have undergone much change in the past few weeks, signing free-agents Jaromir Jagr and Ray Whitney and acquiring Derek Roy via trade. The club even dealt Mike Ribeiro, with whom Morrow has shared on-ice chemistry in the past. The moves have seemingly pushed Morrow out of the top-six forwards.
Morrow plays left wing, and the Blues have three left wingers on their roster in David Perron, Andy McDonald and Alex Steen. They also have Matt D'Agostini and Jaden Schwartz, but Blues coach Ken Hitchcock prefers D'Agostini on the right side and Schwartz isn't a guarantee to make the opening-night roster. Steen could see time at center, which could leave a spot open on the left side.
Morrow is coming off an injury-riddled season. He played in just 57 games because of neck and back issues, posting 11 goals and 26 points. He played the final 14 games of the 2011-12 regular season, wrapping up against the Blues on April 7. He did not opt for surgery this offseason, instead using rest and rehab to ease the pain.
If healthy, Morrow could be the type of forward that would help the Blues. The two seasons prior to last year, he combined for 53 goals and 102 points. Eighteen of those 53 goals came on the power play, on which Morrow (6-foot, 209 pounds) likes to get dirty in front of the net. He's also solid defensively with a career plus-minus of +110.
Morrow has one year left on a six-year, $24.6 million contract with Dallas. The winger will make $4.1 million in 2012-13. He has a full no-trade clause, but could be willing to waive it to reunite with Armstrong and Hitchcock, the Stars' former GM and head coach, respectively. Morrow was also a member of the 2010 Canadian Olympic team, which had Armstrong as an executive assistant and Hitchcock as an assistant coach.
Morrow has been captain of the Stars since 2006, replacing franchise icon Mike Modano - a move that was made with Modano still on the team, leading to an awkward transition. If the Stars are moving in a new direction, it's highly unlikely that they would go down the same road with Morrow, who is believed to have a solid relationship with Stars' GM Joe Nieuwendyk.
The more likely scenario would be Morrow being traded. The Blues, who expressed interest in Phoenix's Shane Doan, seem to be a logical destination for Morrow.

So now that Mr. Bryan is the new Mr. Money in the bank, we are all wondering how they are going to book him. Will the WWE just give him a short title run until Orton gets the title back, will Daniel Bryan be the first person to lose his match for the title or will he lose the briefcase before then? This is not what will happen but just what I would do in making Daniel Bryan the number 2 face of Smackdown
in 2004, Evolution ruled the world, and that meant their leader ruled the World. An epic rivalry with Shawn Michaels not only restarted but reached brand new heights. If Triple H's series of main event matches in 2003 was boring to some, 2004 was exhilarating. His feud with Michaels was officially back on at the 2004 Royal Rumble in a very memorable last man standing
Apologies for the delay my fellow Helmsleyites, I've been considerably sidetracked in the last week due to various commitments. No doubt you've watched MITB anyway so you have been busy being pumped up bout that. If you would like to check out my previous articles next is a link to the second issue of this Triple H series http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/commun...ing-The-Throne
We learned right here that WWE is conducting surveys in New York with past and current wrestling fans of all age groups. Instead of a survey I think you'll learn more if you let them plan the future of WWE. Logging every storyline the poeple come up with into one file then seeing what is consistent. Then make the changes.
-- In My Future WWE: Cena is given some much needed vacation
Let's face it; Big Show is arguably the largest athlete in the world and maybe even in the entire wrestling history. He has also been boxing for years which makes him one of the toughest guys outside the ring. If WWE was real, I don't think anyone would be albe to defeat Big Show, not only cause of his size but also his boxing background, he would knock you out cold.
Which brings
After watching MITB on Sunday night and then Raw last night, i couldn't help but think about WrestleMania. With Cena getting fired, i was thinking about all the possibilities that would happen regarding the match with The Rock at WrestleMania. Obviously, Cena didn't end up getting 'fired' and I think that the booking on Raw at the minute is top notch. And then with the creation of the WWE title tournament
July 17th, 2011 has come and gone. CM Punk has officially left the WWE with their Championship. In the last 24 hours CM Punk has been parading the belt all around Chicago, celebrating with friends and family alike. He's made Twitter comments about where the belt is... in his 'fridge by the way and then he took it out and has been galavanting around again with it, even taking it to a Cubs VS. Phillies
Ah Money in the Bank. Last night saw a PPV that had major storyline movements and kept the wrestling community wondering what will happen on the next Raw and Smackdown. I believe now that WWE have their 5th major PPV of the year, but i'll get to that statement after a recap of probably the PPV of the year.
First off, we opened up with a great win for Daniel Bryan in the Smackdown Money
Credit goes to the WWE creative team for seizing the opportunity to go against convention and, for at least one night, embrace the chaos theory that makes wrestling so special when pulled off so flawlessly. We were outwitted time and time again, just in the span of five minutes. From the Montreal Screwjob that didn't happen, to the Cena grandstand that didn't pay off, to the Alberto Del Rio angle
I was half expecting when I looked on Ewrestling to find many blogs praising the Money In The Bank PPV. Instead I find the same old nonsense from people who think they are smarter bookers than the people in charge and how they want the WWE to go back to a sleazy, smutty, bad taste product that was all the rage in ninety-nine. Well, let this dumb ol' mark be the first to say, THAT WAS THE GREATEST

It's such a nice feeling to use up some of those bits that are too big for the scrap box but get lost in the yardage. This quilt is the PERFECT gender neutral quilt.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

20 Years of Nevermind by Nirvana
Saturday, 17th Sep 2011
This month marks 20 years since the release of Nevermind by Nirvana - a record that many credit with changing the course of music history. When the album was first released, Nirvana were a critically acclaimed but still widely unknown band from Aberdeen, Washington, but by the time 1991 drew to a close the album was No. 1 the world over with over 30 million copies sold.
Nirvana photographed by Kirk Weddle
To celebrate this landmark occasion, London is hosting an abundance of band memorabilia and treasured artifacts at In Bloom: The Nirvana Nevermind Exhibition. The exhibition will run for two weeks only from Tuesday 13th September to Sunday 25th at The Loading Bay Gallery, at 91 Brick Lane. Highlights include a hoody worn by Kurt Cobain for a Meldoy Maker photoshoot and a replica of the Paramount Stage set up, as well as rare tour posters and fan memorabilia.
A multi-format reissue of the album will also be released on September 26th, with Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions available featuring dozens of rare and previously unreleased performances by the band. For those who really want to celebrate. The Shacklewell Arms will be holding a 20th Anniversary party on Saturday the 24th, complete with top Nirvana tribute band Melvana and Throwing Up; a band who we've previously mentioned on our Subculture site.
For more information on In Bloom: The Nirvana Nevermind Exhibition visit http://www.nirvanaexhibition.com/
The 20th Anniversary reissue of Nevermind will be released under Universal on 26th September 2011.

With the swell really starting to fill in, and the sun taking it's toll on the competitors, the 2009 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships has got the pedal to the floor. Day 3 of competition has set up the Girls U18 Round 3 heats, the Boys U18 Round 4 heats, and the Boys U16 Round 3 heats for Wednesday and beyond. The well-rounded nations are starting to rise to the top of the field as things are starting to get narrowed down and each heat is becoming more and more stacked with the best of the best young international surfers.
Though there is also still the repercharge, teams that are fairing very well right now are Brazil (all four Boys U16 and three Boys U18 still in), Hawaii (all four Boys U16 and all four Girls U18 sitll in), Australia (all four Girls U18 still in), South Africa (three Boys U18 still in and three Girls U18 still in), USA (three Girls U18 still in), and France (all four Girls U18 still in). Don't get us wrong though, those medals are still up for grabs, as there is a lot of surfing still to be done.
Checking in with Team USA:
There's been a few tough losses for the young Americans (Kaleigh Gilchrist, Ian Crane, and Evan Geiselman all in Round 2), but USA has still got a legitimate shot in each division. Courtney Conlogue, Lani Doherty, and Lakey Peterson are proving to be solid surfers on their backhand at the Ecuadorian left-hand point. Plus when Courtney breaks the nose off her board on her first wave in a heat (Round 2) and still wins the heat, you know she's on her game. Conner Coffin and Kolohe Andino are seasoned competitors in international competition and are the two remaining Americans in the Boys U16 division. And the most experienced competitor on Team USA, Nat Young, is taking charge. The mix of a rippable fronthand point and the caliber of wins under his belt is a solid combination. But keep in mind, the Boys U18 Round 4 is stacked (Shaun Joubert, Nick Godfrey, Garrett Parkes, Dylan Goodale, and Maxime Huscenot, just to name a few), so it won't be easy for the Californian. -Ryan Brower

(Salinas, Ecuador) March 31, 2009 – The surf picked up today, with the south swell making its first solid appearance at the third day of competition of the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in Salinas, Ecuador. The left point at La FAE offered super fun four-to-five foot surf all day and Under 18 Girls and Under 16 Boys finished Round two. The Under 18 Boys also faced off on the south end of the beach at the secondary contest area for Round three and for the grueling, "life or death," repercharge rounds. Today saw some of the highest scores of the event as well as the first eliminations of the contest with 32 surfers exiting the competition.
"We had amazing waves today and so many of these kids really stepped up their game," said web commentator and 1989 ASP world champion, Martin Potter. "We saw the future of surfing come to Ecuador."
While all of the powerhouses have all team members still in the contest, 2005 event champions, Hawaii leads with nine surfers still in the main rounds. France and 2003 event champions Brazil are tied with eight a piece, while Australia has seven, the USA six and South Africa five.
The Hawaiians and the USA team went head-to-head in nearly every heat today. The teams have one of the greatest rivalries in surfing since the ISA recognizes Hawaii as its own nation because of the state's historical contribution to the sport. In the end, Hawaii claimed the victory flag for the day but with all of USA still in contention it remains very much uncertain as to which team will finish higher at the end of the contest.
French Under 18 Girls surfer Canelle Bulard set the pace this morning, posting a combined 17.17 (out of 20), the second highest score of the entire contest. She kicked out early on her first two waves, each scoring under 1.0, but then found her spot on one of the larger sets, scoring an 8.0 as she demolished the wave on her forehand. As if that wasn't enough, on Bullard's next wave she posted a 9.17 to put the nail in the coffin.
"The heat was really good and I was able to catch two set waves," said Bulard. "I felt like I surfed them to my ability. My coach told me where to sit and he was right, the waves came my way. Our team is really strong and working together. Everyone is giving me good advice."
Last year's gold medalist and Roxy team rider Laura Enever of Australia posted an impressive 16.66 total points for the win in heat five. Hawaiian Leila Hurst and USA's Lakey Peterson each had high scores for first and second respectively in heat six, while South African Bianca Buitendag continued her quest for gold with her win in heat seven.
Brazil made a strong showing in the Under 16 division with three of their four surfers taking first. Tahitian Mihimana finished in second in heat two behind Brazil's Caio Ibelli while the rest of the Tahitians Under 16 teammates were relegated to the repercharges.
Under 16 had a few share of big wins and big upsets. Moroccan surfer Ramzi Boukhiam overtook favored-Australian Matt Banting, along with local Ecuadorian Roberto Rodriguez and South African Slade Prestwich. Coming in third and fourth, Rodriguez and Prestwich still have a chance at the title if they are able to prevail through the repercharge heats.
The Moroccan team, representing one of the smaller surfing nations in the ISA, traveled with only two surfers to compete. Being without a coach or manager, the French team informally adopted the two and has been on the shore cheering on the Moroccans with the same gusto reserved for their teammates.
In the next heat, one of the closest contests of the day with all four surfers being separated by less than two points out of 20, USA's Evan Geiselman and New Zealand's Ben Poulter went down to Hawaiian Matt Costa and Costa Rican Jordan Hernandez. Geiselman and Poulter were unable to post a strong enough second score to advance. Matt Costa had the wave of the heat scoring an 8.83 which held up in spite of his low 2.60 second wave score.
The afternoon finished off with local Ecuadorian surfer Dominc Barona making history by becoming the first girl to make it to Round three of an ISA World Junior event. The home team couldn't have been more excited and thrilled to learn that she had advanced.
Competition will resume tomorrow at 8:00am at Playa de las FAE beach in Salinas, Ecuador with round three of Under 18 Girls and Under 16 Boys, along with repercharge rounds for all three divisions.

What Was Miley Cyrus Smoking in Miami?
Just when it feels like Miley Cyrus can't keep her pace of newsworthy stories up, she goes and proves everyone that she can.
While in Miami this weekend, the star was photographed with one significant thing and without one other significant thing.
First, the significant one: while on a balcony with friends, Miley was seen smoking what appeared to be a hand-rolled cigarette or what most people with a mild ability to apply logic would call "a joint."
While no one could get close enough to confirm through the senses of sight or smile, Miley has shown an affinity for marijuana before in other pictures so it wouldn't exactly be the most shocking thing to have ever happened.
Now for the significant thing she was without: her engagement ring.
Given the swirling maelstrom that is her relationship status with Liam Hemsworth, the decision to go ringless certainly seems more than just a coincidence.

Anticipated award date: July 1, 2008
Deadline: June 13, 2008
Submission requirements: An electronic (PDF) copy of application AND 12 hard copies of application (complete with figures)
Submit to: Dr. Peter Howley
c/o Mabel Duyao, PhD (Email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
Department of Pathology
Harvard Medical School

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
A key goal of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) is to encourage and support the development of scientific collaborations among Center members that promote new translational cancer research as well as research that address issues relevant to the unequal burden of cancer and cancer outcomes in diverse populations.
To advance this goal, the DF/HCC annually solicits proposals for Pilot Projects that are designed to enhance or create new nodal point interactions between disease-based and discipline-based DF/HCC Research Programs. These interactions provide an opportunity to link the research efforts based across Program, with a focus on projects that have the potential of significant human application. The Cancer Center has a particular interest in proposals that focus on eliminating cancer disparities. Such inter-programmatic research efforts are the nodal points that are targeted for support by this award program.
Nodal points are inter-programmatic research efforts that link DF/HCC discipline-based studies with disease-site specific research. The Cancer Center is programmatically organized into distinct Research Programs, in accordance with NCI guidelines. Currently, there are 17 Research Programs that are fully established and have been approved by the NCI through the Cancer Center Support Grant process. Ten other areas are in various stages of development, and as defined by NCI guidelines, are Programs-in-Development.
DF/HCC Research Programs can be classified by two categories: disease-site programs, such as Prostate Cancer or Breast Cancer, or discipline-based programs, such as Cancer Genetics. A current list of DF/HCC Programs and Programs-in-Development is available on the website at www.dfhcc.harvard.edu.
Only Cancer Center members are eligible to apply for a grant.
Two awards will be awarded this year, one of which is specifically intended for a project addressing issues relevant to Disparities in Cancer. We encourage applications that include a partnership with UMB faculty, in support of the DF/HCCs U56 cancer center-minority serving institution partnership grant.
Each award is for $75,000 per year for two years ($150,000 total in direct costs).
Proposals will be reviewed by a DF/HCC peer-review committee, which has representation from all DF/HCC member institutions. Projects to be of greatest scientific merit and have greatest potential for fostering nodal inter-programmatic research or enhancing research in the area of Disparities in Cancer will be ranked and submitted to the full Executive Committee for final approval for funding.
Grants will be awarded on the basis of the following review criteria (with this order of importance):
1. SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE and MERIT. We invite project proposals that are innovative in terms of cancer knowledge, prevention, and/or care. Proposals need not have extensive preliminary data. For the disparities award, proposals must address a critical issue in disparities in cancer.
2. TRANSLATION. Projects that have the opportunity to stimulate direct application to cancer treatment or prevention are encouraged.
3. INTER-INSTITUTIONAL LINKS. Proposals that stimulate inter-institutional research will be favored in decisions between equally ranked applications.
1. Projects must be submitted as collaboration between two or more DF/HCC members who are members in good standing in the programs the project interaction proposes.
2. Proposals must involve the creation of new inter-programmatic nodal point interactions or the enhancement of pre-existing interactions between discipline- and disease-based Programs within the Center (these can be Programs-in-Development).
3. Proposals must fulfill the page and content requirements listed above. Please send an electronic (PDF) copy AND twelve (12) hard copies of application by 4:30pm June 13, 2008.
PROPOSAL CONTENTS and PAGE LIMITS
Required items (4):
New Nodal Award Coversheet: (available below) or from email@example.com) listing title of proposal, PI, PIs DF/HCC Program (or Program-in-Development) affiliation, the interprogrammatic nodal collaboration proposed (i.e., the disease- and discipline-based programs to interact on the proposal), indication that this is a disparities-focused project (if appropriate), and the name and DF/HCC programmatic affiliation of each collaborator (some of whom should be active in both interacting Programs or Programs-in-Development listed). A complete listing of programs and current listing of program members is available on the DF/HCC website.
Proposal: Maximum of 5 pages of text. Figures and references are allowable in addition to this page limit. No other appendix material will be accepted.
Biosketches: Current NIH Biosketch for each participating PI, including all funding sources.
Budget Request: Budget estimates should be submitted as NIH 398 form with major divisions of funds (personnel, equipment, supplies, other, etc.; but no itemization or rationale needed). Funds can be utilized for anything EXCEPT for PI salaries (can be used for Fellow/staff salary).
The anticipated award date is July 1, 2008. Projects must be ready to commence immediately after receipt of award. Year one of funding is July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
Progress reports are required after the first year of the project. The PI may be asked to present results to the DF/HCC Executive Committee.
Funding for the second year (commencing July 1, 2009) is contingent upon first-year progress.
A final report and informal spending summary is due at the end of the two-year project period. Should the PI leave the seven institutions of the DF/HCC, the remainder of the award will be forfeited (i.e. may not be transferred to a non-DF/HCC institution).

They really are cute but I was hoping to get one or two water voles instead. He was very wild to tell the truth but as I had been standing very still next to a tree, waiting to photograph an entirely different subject, he didn't seem to notice me. I watched him go into the water from the opposite bank and he came out about ten feet in front of me. He soon ran away when someone else walked by. The second rat was a little less alert and ran almost up to my feet before realizing I was there but he actually got to close for my lens to focus properly.
They are both adorable. I can see the difference now that you've mentioned it. They remind me of the pet rats the girls used to have.

To help ensure that your trip goes smoothly, please allow enough time for checking in and passing through security. Additional time may be necessary when traveling around holidays or other peak travel times to pass through security.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires enhanced security measures for all flights departing from non-U.S. locations to the United States. We recommend that you ensure that any liquids, aerosols or gels that are included in your carry-on bags adhere to current restrictions. Visit the TSA website for details regarding these security measures.
The United check-in counters and kiosks at some of the airports we serve do not accept cash as a form of payment. For more information, visit the Accepted Forms of Payment page.
The times below apply to flights operated by United and United Express®. For flights operated by another carrier, including our codeshare partners, the applicable check-in time limit for that carrier's flight will apply.
For flights within the U.S., as well as most international flights, baggage will generally not be accepted for check-in more than four hours before scheduled flight departure, although this policy varies by airport and based on daily check-in counter hours.
United has the right to cancel reservations, deny boarding and refuse the acceptance of checked baggage of any customer who does not meet the applicable check-in time limit, as noted below.
Check-in is available starting 24 hours prior to scheduled departure. Check in now
The minimum check-in time requirement for customers without checked baggage is 30 minutes prior to departure, except for Guam, where the requirement is 60 minutes.
For all airports within the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the minimum check-in time requirement for customers with checked baggage is 30 minutes prior to departure, with the exceptions noted in the chart below.
Please note that check-in and baggage check must be completed by the specified number of minutes before scheduled departure.
Boarding ends 15 minutes before scheduled departure for flights within the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Boarding ends 30 minutes before scheduled departure for flights out of Guam.
For international flights, customers and their bags must meet the check-in and boarding requirements below. Please note that check-in and baggage check must be completed by the specified number of minutes before scheduled departure.
As a result of heightened security measures at airports within the U.S., we suggest customers arrive at the airport early. Some local airport authorities have instituted additional measures beyond the mandatory security measures specified by the TSA. All vehicles approaching the airports are subject to search on the approaching roadways and within the traffic lanes at the terminals. This may add to your airport processing times, especially at major airports.
The metal detectors at most airports are very sensitive. To ensure a seamless security process, we suggest placing all metal items, including jewelry, in your carry-on luggage before arriving at the security checkpoint. In most cases, shoes should be removed and placed in the bins provided at the checkpoint.
Please allow for additional time if you are departing during peak traffic hours. Heavy travel volumes on Sunday afternoons, Friday afternoons and Monday mornings may require an additional half hour. Peak traffic hours at most airports are:
The approximate airport processing time for most cities and regions outside the U.S. is three hours.

NXT 2.0 Discovery Book Video
This is a new video that I made for the NXT 2.0 Discovery Book. Check it out, and if you have any questions about the book, feel free to post them here.

This book are very good. I own it, and have build almost all robots, I recommend this book for everyone lego builders :) I have two chapter to bould before I have read out the book. I Gonna buil this robots more time, and maybe I gonna modify it and make more functions. Good book to learn to beginning building Lego mindstorms NXT.

I don't have this book, and I'm probably not gonna buy it (I don't think it is that interesting for me personally).
However, it does seem a very good book for the new generation of MINDSTORMers...
I wish I had it when I first got my kit =)
it looks like the perfect manual to lower the entrance treshold of MINDSTORMS, like stated in the video, perhaps it should be included in the kit!
Good job Laurens! Can't wait for the next one ;)

I wish someone can publish a LEGO NXT book which uses parts only from the LEGO 9797 NXT Education set. Such a book would very useful in a classroom setting.

- Robotica said...
I do own ALL NXT related books and I must say that this is by far the best book I've seen (for the target age)
I think for all the NXT2.0 users who want to learn beyond the kit, and build state of the art models it is THE must have book.
The education set (9797)is very limited on parts, therefore it is harder to write a book with nice models.
you can add the education resource kit,
But then you have all the parts needed for NXT1.0 books.
- Aug 20, 2010, 10:58:00 PM
- Fred said...
All NXT1.0 books uses parts from the NXT retail sets, which are very different from the 9797 education set. A typical classroom setting would only have the 9797 education set and I can see that an NXT book which only requires the 9797 Education set will be in great demand.

I understand your comment about books for the education market.
I have taught with the NXT in the classroom and I used a slightly modified version of the Explorer/ Discovery robot that comes in this book. This required the resource set, though.
One reason I did that is because I could easily make my own instructions and spread an instruction booklet into three parts, so that three kids could build without fighting over who was building, searching the parts, or doing nothing.
I also would have liked some smaller models that could be built with just the NXT edu base kit.
Writing a book for the classroom is quite different from writing one for retail. I personally wrote for retail because that market seems to be larger, and it gives me a bit more flexibility.
Damien Kee has written a few books for the classroom which you may be interesting in reading:

I'm having a bit of an issue with iOS and Windows 2008 r2 PPTP VPN.
I have the VPN setup and I can connect and log in fine.
The only issue I have is that I can't browse to hostnames. For example I can't reach my computer address by type http://mylaptopsname, but I can if I type http://mylaptop.domain.co.uk.
Issue is we want people to access an internal website, the downside is it only works if you use the hostname: EG. http://hostname but I can access it that. Safari doesn't know how to get there. if I stick the domain name on the end of it, it works but the website is hard coded to work only on the hostname without the rest of the domain name.
Is there anyway or any setting on the pptp side of things I need to change? or is it a limitation off iOS VPN?

A Laugh in the Attic! The Playful Poetry of Shel Silverstein
March 9, 2013 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm| Free
Event Navigation
During LaughFest, "Where the Sidewalk Ends" is at your very own Grand Rapids Public Library . . . but on the way make sure not to "Bump the Glump!" When thinking about the poetry of Shel Silverstein words such as absurd, amusing, ludicrous, ridiculous, hysterical and absolutely brilliant come to mind. Since his first book for children "Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio" was published in 1963, Uncle Shel's books of poetry have become "must read" classics for children of all ages. Kids 12 and under are invited to come listen to his poetry and stories, and then create your own poetry or illustrate your favorite poems.

Shelby's Snack Shack helps kids dig math! Buried in game play are pre-math skills like counting along with fine motor skills when using the Shelby Squeezer to collect the bones. The game is fetching as it begs to be repeated again—repetition is the key to learning for kids and canines both.

Comments about Shelby's Snack Shack Game™:
My son received this as a gift from his grandparents this year and he loved it immediately. He loved to use Shelby to pick up and count the bones. He is just 4 and loves to count. He has a hard time staying focused, but this game kept him entertained until the end, when he immediately wanted to play again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me THERAPIST
This is a great game, and the kids love the concept of being able to take away bones from their peers! It's easy to learn, and the adorable Shelby is a huge hit with the kids! What a great tool for developing hand and finger strength in a fun and motivating way!
Such fun!

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
This was a great fun game but simple to play and understand. It is great that this is a game my 8 year old can play with my 3 year old niece and they can both have fun.
Perfect Game for the Whole Family
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
The instructions were easy to follow. The game is about a dog named Shelby and she has buried bones on the beach and needs your help in collecting them. Whoever collects the most bones wins. To play, you spin the first spinner to see if you get to pick up bones, lose your turn because you were sidetracked by chewing on a flip flop, lose bones because of the sneaky seagull, or get to steal someone else's bones! Once you know which action you will be doing, you then spin the spinner to see how many bones you get to get (or lose). You then use the Shelby squeezer to pick the bones up and put in your bowl. The game is so cute to play and it's a great educational game too! Your child can practice counting and early number skills. Also, squeezing the Shelby squeezer helps build their fine motor skills. We absolutely loved it and my son requests to play it daily and neither of us are bored of it yet, it's really cute and a lot of fun! It's a great family board game.**Disclosure: I received the game free of charge in order to do an honest review. My thoughts are 100% my own.**

Cute game & great for Preschool
By theteacherswife
from Iowa
I received this to review and I just LOVE it! It's a similar game set up as the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel which is my all-time fav preschool game. It's an adorable game, great for honing on fine motor skills, strengthens counting skills, and great for following directions. No reading is required which makes it great for your youngest players.

Great Game for Siblings
By Katie Mom
from Lake Zurich, IL
I received this game as a gift for my 5 year old daughter who is getting ready for Kindergarten. It's always fun to play "easy" games with her to practice taking turns, following rules, etc. What I loved about this is that the awesome artwork, pug squeezer, and bones were enough to engage my almost 8 year old son, and it's been great to see them play together! I love that the game is easy enough for my daughter, yet "fun" enough for my son! They've learned more than the simple counting skills--- they're learning to compromise, follow rules, and have fun-- all with a little healthy competition and the CUTE pug-themed squeezers! We LOVE this game! We now have a go-to birthday gift to buy!
Quick and easy fun!
By Lyndsay

About Me Nanny
This game is a big hit with my 5 year old girls. The game can be played in about 15 minutes which is perfect for their attention span. It has simple directions so they knew how to play after just one game. It's great to have a game they can play together with or without me. We expanded on the math aspect and they did addition every time they added bones to their bowl (ex. I had 4 bones and added 3. Now how many do I have?). It's a good game for younger children to learn basic counting and number recognition. I highly recommend it!
fun quick game
By Jackie
from chicago, il
My son and I had a fun time with this game. It kept his attention but then he wanted to work with higher numbers so instead of 5 we would say 10. The game lasted about 15 minutes which was perfect for my son who can only sit still for about that long. Might be good for younger kids who are learning to count as well.

The Trifecta Of Gnarliness
While it's flat today, Thursday is looking like a trifecta of gnarliness. Here's the scenario: there's a solid west swell predicted to hit that day (the first west swell of the season), it's low tide in the afternoon when the swell peaks, and Pipe hasn't broke yet meaning dudes are gonna be frothing to surf out there—probably too frothing. Pipe is gnarly enough, but when you add the new swell, tons of sand built up, and amped crowd it's got potential to be really dangerous. I for one will be watching the carnage from the safety of the beach…
Above: Cory Lopez and his daughter Alana shredding the North Shore…
After a deep sand run and tortuous workout on the beach, I surfed small Off The Wall and Backdoor this with just a handful of crew out. Sitting furthest out and pushing mini groms into waves was Luke Egan. Kolohe Andino and his old man Dino paddled out with Kolohe's coach Mike Parsons, too. Kolohe was popping airs while the rest of us struggled to even catch a wave. Kid is gnarly and according to Dino, in the Pipe Masters by virtue of him having the highest "One World Ranking" seed. I don't really understand that whole thing but it sounds like he's in. And oh yeah, it's gonna be f—king heavy Pipe. Trial by fire for the grom!
Dave Wassel popped in to the TransWorld house this morning to check the diving conditions out front. After a quick inspection he grabbed his speargun and swam off the beach to meet Mark Healey, who drove his jet ski up here from the Haleiwa harbor. I can see them now about 100 yards off the beach—Healey's ski broke down (he forgot to charge the battery) and Wassel is swimming in.
We've got a full docket of activities this afternoon: Jags vs. Chargers on Monday Night Football (we're calling it the "Struggle Bowl"), a bbq and new trunk unveiling party at the Vans house, and another bbq at the Oakley house. Doesn't sound like a sober afternoon.

The Capitol continued its longstanding tradition of commissioning and buying artwork. The most significant addition was The Apotheosis of Democracy, a monumental sculptural group by Paul Wayland Bartlett placed in the House pediment in 1916.
To celebrate the Constitution's 150th anniversary, Congress commissioned Howard Chandler Christy to paint a scene depicting the signing of the document. It was hung in the east grand stair of the House wing. The House of Representatives continued to acquire portraits of former Speakers, and the Senate commissioned vice presidential busts for its chamber. As the collection of state-donated statues in Statuary Hall grew to 65, its weight threatened to collapse the floor. In 1933, Congress authorized the display of some statues elsewhere in the building, distributing the collection—and its weight.
The House of Representatives purchased this portrait of its former Speaker in 1917.
Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives
This sculptural group is located in the pediment over the entrance to the House wing.

Superintendent's Message
First, I'd like to express how proud I am to have the opportunity to serve the community as the Superintendent of Schools for the Brea Olinda Unified School District since December 1, 2007. I look forward to working with the Board of Education and collaborating with our talented staff and faculty. Some of you already know me from my six years as Assistant Superintendent of Business Services prior to becoming Superintendent. For those who don't, allow me to give you a brief summary of my professional experience, thus far.
My early education began as a kindergarten student at Laurel Elementary School in the Brea Olinda Unified School District. My educational career began in 1976 as a math and history teacher in the Orange Unified School District (OUSD). Over the years I also worked as a school counselor, activities director, coach, cheerleading advisor, assistant principal and eventually a principal in both OUSD and Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Subsequently, I worked as the Director of Human Resources in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District prior to coming to BOUSD to oversee the management and operation of the Business Services division of the District. The broad range of my previous career opportunities is both personally rewarding and I believe beneficial to my work as Superintendent.
I see my current role as Superintendent to be a catalyst that sets the tone for all of us to "Honor the Past, Challenge the Present, and Envision the Future." Students, staff, parents and the community of the Brea Olinda Unified School District have a long and proud tradition of excellence in academic achievement, athletics and co-curricular programs. We must not forget our past accomplishments and must remember to take time to celebrate our current successes. At the same time, to continue to improve in all areas, we must sometimes challenge the present. When discussing how things get done in BOUSD, folks say (sometimes with pride and sometimes with dismay) that it's just the Brea Way. I challenge all of us to see if the Brea Way is truly the Best Way! If it is, let's continue to support that effort. If it's not, let's examine what we can do to turn the Brea Way into the Best Way. Finally, I see my role as helping to facilitate and craft a new shared vision for Brea Olinda, our Compass 2020 plan.
I look forward to a bright future for our District as we continue working together to provide all students with high quality, rigorous and relevant educational experiences in an "any time, any place, any path, any pace" environment that will ultimately lead to success in the workplace, college, and career.
A.J. "Skip" Roland, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

companies always use the gimmick features when consoles are first released. it'll be a long time before the gamepad is used efficiently.
I'm still waiting for a game to use the gamepad in a truly creative and interesting and innovative way that makes me want to use it, without making it seem like a forced gimmick or just another mirror screen game.
RayMan was close, but again, and as the now multiplatform release shows, it still didn't show something that couldn't be done just s well with a regular controller.

no it really is held back by it it makes the whole gae experience clumsy and disconnected.
all the stuff you see on the gamepad screen, I would much rather have see on the screen. I would also rather have used my sticks to control the stupid scanner instead of waving the giant pad about like an idiot. it's a cool game, but it gains nothing from the forced gamepad use.
that and the lack of any real progressions, some absolutely idiotic forced events that will cause you to die repeatedly because your base is being rushed and there's no way to win and the fact it tries to be a sandbox game but without being a sandbox instead a sandbox game with a linear path (:facepalm:) means it just gets overall frustrating and I rather pop in the Mario game or COD:BO both of which I can continue to play on the pad while the GF watches TV. Both give me far better use of the gamepad

"There is always music amongst the trees…but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it." ~Minnie Aumonier
It's a little late in the year for this post, but I'm afraid I wasn't writing yet when the sap started to flow in the birches. So I'm about to take you back in time. It's easy to do, after all, since time, like words, exist in our imagination.
So imagine a grove of calm white birch trees: bright, open, and inviting. A friend of mine who grew up in East Germany during the cold war once told me that, in the Russian fairy tales she heard as a child, birch groves were always good and full of magic.

the rhetoric being used would get you arrested in Europe for hate speech if it was being used against Muslims, Jews, blacks, or Asians. but for some damned reason it's perfectly acceptable to use against Americans. theyarecomingforyou is a bigot to say the absolute least.
I speak out against Islam on a regular basis and I haven't been arrested yet. What gives?
hahahahah she got fired and SHE hired a lawyer to get on TV and the media. Again, nice try.
Maybe if she kept her hoo ha in her pants, she would still have a job. I am so tired of consequencless actions, and the blaming of Christians for not blindly accepting everything.
This is the last bastion of evil... to accept everything, and make YOU the bad one for not tolerating everything. There is such a thing as morals, either you have and accept them, or you don't.
Having to have right and wrong dictated to you by a sky dictator because you can't figure it out for yourself isn't morality, it's authoritarian coercion. You don't have morality, you simply lack empathy.
