On Tuesday, April 23, the Alexandria Health Department conducted a tabletop exercise with Goodwin House Alexandria, a large two-building facility housing nearly 400 residents, including a mix of skilled nursing care, as well as assisted and independent living. This was the second exercise of its kind in Northern Virginia (the first one was also conducted by AHD in 2011), bringing together all partners that might be involved if an emergency requires a high-rise nursing home facility to evacuate patients.
This type of planning is not new but is especially important, given the experiences of New York and New Jersey during Superstorm Sandy. By bringing partners together ahead of time to discuss response actions, agencies can establish relationships that will help them be better prepared for emergencies. Participants included key Goodwin House administrators and staff, operational personnel from the Alexandria Fire Department, Alexandria Police Department, Alexandria Department of Emergency Communications, staff from neighboring nursing home facilities, 2-1-1 Virginia, and the Northern Virginia Hospital Alliance.
In preparation for the exercise, public health emergency preparedness staff, along with representatives from emergency management, fire marshal's office and Inova Health System, worked with Goodwin House leadership to plan and coordinate the event. The Director of Emergency Management for the Inova Health System served as the exercise facilitator and stimulated many productive discussions in response to two different evacuation scenarios among the stakeholders.
The Alexandria Health Department plans to conduct similar exercises with other healthcare facilities in the City and hopes this will be a model for the rest of the region and the Commonwealth.

Wilson's first Gates Millennium Scholar, Shaylah McQueen '16 decided to enroll in the Women with Children Program with her two-year-old son, Zaccaeus, after hearing about Wilson College from a high school social worker.
"I chose Wilson because it was closest to my hometown, and I fell in love with the campus when I visited for my Women with Children interview," said McQueen, who is from New Haven, Conn.
The Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) program, established in 1999 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is open to high school seniors who have a grade-point average of 3.3. The program selects 1,000 talented students each year to receive a "good-through-graduation" scholarship to use at any college or university of their choice. McQueen was recommended for the scholarship during her junior year of high school.
Despite the challenge of becoming a mother while still in high school, McQueen excelled academically and was ranked first in her graduating class, earning her the honor of valedictorian. Throughout high school, she was very active as a community service volunteer, tutor, actor and softball player. She founded the James Hillhouse Attendance Buddies Program, which mentors students with poor attendance records.
"I had a great support network," McQueen said. "Most importantly though, my faith gave me the hope that I could overcome my obstacles."
McQueen, whose son lives with her on campus, finds the Wilson community very accommodating for her and her son. "The staff here really wants to help and encourage," she said. "They believe in us just as much as we believe in ourselves. Many professors allow us to take our children with us (to class), if necessary and appropriate."
McQueen often ponders how her son's future will be affected by his experience living at Wilson for four years. "He adjusted to life here faster than I did," McQueen said. "He continues to impress me every day. He is learning how to speak like a respectable person."
McQueen plans on pursuing a major in education with a concentration in Spanish. She also plans to minor in business management and dance. When she graduates from Wilson, McQueen would like to attend a graduate school.
"I plan to become a teacher and teach in my hometown," said McQueen. "Eventually, I would like to hold workshops where I would give motivational speeches."
The GMS program, which is administered through the United Negro College Fund, was created with the goal of developing Leaders for America's Future™. Scholarships provide outstanding low-income African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American and Hispanic American students with an opportunity to complete an undergraduate college education in any discipline they choose.
To date, more than 16,000 students have received GMS scholarships, attending more than 1,500 schools, including Ivy League colleges, flagship state universities, UNCF-member institutions and other minority-serving institutions.

Five Refreshing New Drinks to Try Around Town
It's almost not summer anymore, and yet it is, really, and will likely be for another couple months (fingers crossed). So here's a group of five new cocktails to seek out that will quench your thirst after a warm day, or even a kind of cool but sunny day like today.

Drink Here Now: 5 Places to Sip This Week
1) Weekly Wednesday DJ Party
If you're planning to party at the swanky, Hollywood-esque Monroe (473 Broadway @ Kearny) on Wednesday nights, it pays to arrive early. Not only are the drinks cheaper; the music is probably better. The Battle of the Decades DJ party starts at 8 pm with music from the 80s, plus $1 cocktails and premium beers. At 9 pm, the 90s music kicks in, and drink prices double to $2. Music from the 00s starts at 10 pm, with $3 drinks. From 11pm - 2am, drinks cost $4, and the music hails from the current decade. Red Pepper food truck serves $1.50 tacos all night on the heated, outdoor patio.
2) Jamaican Rum Tasting @ Elixir's Cocktail Club
Indie Film Picks & Drinks from Blackbird Bar
Searching for a hearth, any hearth, in front of which to warm my toes on this cold, cold night, I headed to Blackbird Bar, a lower Castro haunt that I find myself at more often than not when I'm in the area, for this week's picks and drinks. In a city rumored to tip the scales at more than 800 bars, opportunities to be pretentious about your cocktail selection lurk, suspender clad, around every corner, and I've always noticed Blackbird to be refreshingly casual and comfortable considering the breadth of their selection.

Our Top Picks For SF Cocktail Week
Indian summer is in full swing, which means it's time for another edition of SF Cocktail Week, which runs from next Monday, September 17, through Sunday, September 23. Our Cocktail Week was the nation's first, and though other cities have since jumped on the fun-having/liver-punishing bandwagon, the folks at the Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail have continued to innovate, introducing lots of cool new events to complement some of their stalwart offerings. Here are five of our favorite events, all of which showcase the amazing bars, bartenders, and spirits that the Bay Area has to offer.

This Election Season, We're Joining the Cocktail Party! Are You In?
Hey, all you feuding Obama lovers and Romney-ites. We know Election Day is speeding towards us, and it's already next to impossible to go a day without hearing someone ramble about Obamacare or debate over who Romney will pick as a running mate. Sometimes, it can all be a big buzzkill. But not any longer! We're cutting loose and joining the Maker's Mark Cocktail Party–and (of course) celebrating by throwing a series of awesome events going down at six of our favorite bars around town: 111 Minna, Osha Thai Embarcadero, Reed & Greenough, Wreck Room, Pete's Tavern, and Pier 23.

Although some locations of Beggars have GF pizza crust, this location does NOT. Don't waste your time.
5133 S. Cicero Ave., Chicago, IL 60638
not sure why this is on here-no gluten free options
10240 S Central Ave, Oak Lawn, IL 60453
The oak lawn location does not have gluten free pizza
16122 S. Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544
Ordered a pizza for pickup. The crust didn't seem to be done all the way it was very soggy... it was liquid pizza. I would never get it again. I believe pizza is just one of those things that is just isn't going to translate into the gf world
3524 Ridge Rd, Lansing, IL 60438
When ordering a regular pizza and a gluten free pizza they failed numerous times to mark which was gluten free. Finally after too many times I do not order from there at all. This is at the Lansing location.
1326 119th St, Whiting, IN 46394
Gluten Free pizza was really good. They only have a ten inch size but it was more than enough for two of us. They put the toppings under the cheese which was great.
650 W Maple St, New Lenox, IL 60451
I always eat at this location when I want a gluten free fix and I've never gotten sick from the multiple times I've been there. like any pizza it's never gonna be like a gluten filled pizza but is very good and never got sick.
15600 S Cicero Ave, Oak Forest, IL 60452
Gluten free pizza is gooey and flavorless. I was a huge fan before going gluten free but won't eat here anymore :(
16122 S. Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544
Favorite place for pizza! Yum yum yum!
3277 W 115th St, Merrionette Park, IL 60803
No gf toppings!
650 W Maple St, New Lenox, IL 60451
the gf pizza is just ok.
3277 W 115th St, Merrionette Park, IL 60803
Great pizza quality cooked on separate aluminum pan!
11329 W 143rd St, Orland Park, IL 60467
I have tried every pizza place locally that offers gf, and this pizza is great! They have a thin crust in a 10" that taste as good as I remember regular pizza tastes! My husband who is not gf also agrees their gf pizza is one of the best in the south suburbs
3524 Ridge Rd, Lansing, IL 60438
This location has GF crust, but the pizza is very unimpressive. I don't think I will be going back, as there are so many better options in the area.
16122 S. Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544
Pretty good. They make the crust so that's a plus. The toppings are fresh and it's actually a pretty good crust recipe. Probably the best in the area but not the best I've had. A solid pizza nonetheless.
15600 S Cicero Ave, Oak Forest, IL 60452
lots of great toppings and not too greasy!
10240 S Central Ave, Oak Lawn, IL 60453
my favorite gf pizza in the area with lots of toppings to choose from.
11:00 am - 10:00 pm
11:00 am - 10:00 pm
11:00 am - 10:00 pm

Great gameplay, easy to pick up and play, looks good
Confusing menus
Of all the games we played on the PS2, it was SSX and SSX Tricky that swallowed up the most hours. We would pour away time flipping, grabbing and grinding in some of the best-designed tracks ever witnessed in a video game.
But SSX got tired. Like Tony Hawk, it became a franchise that fell foul of the over-saturation of the genre. In the end, no one wanted to play snowboarding games anymore and SSX itself began to become stale and uninventive.
A few years' rest, however, and SSX is back - touting a redesign, updated graphics and enough tracks to make even the most hardcore of snowboarders eat yellow snow. But does this racer cut the mustard? Or is it a blind-folded black run down to the bottom?
Favourites updated
From the start it becomes immediately clear that SSX hasn't lost any of its slightly over-the-top charms found in the first two. The opening movie and initial training sequences are just as ridiculous as the classics in the franchise. Take the first level for example: you learn how to control your character during freefall from a helicopter.
Characters like Mac and Zoe return, along with one or two new faces, to bring back the entire classic SSX cast. Customisation of each character is possible, though not so much in the style department, more in terms of the accessories that will get you to the bottom of the mountain. Before starting a race you can choose from complete snowboarding outfits as well as extras like a head torch or even a squirrel suit.
In terms of tracks, SSX works in an entirely different way from the originals. Think of a sort of giant Google Earth within which you can select various regions and within those various runs. There is a huge selection of hills to blast down on your board and every track can be raced, tricked or time-trialled on. This is perhaps one of the best and worst parts of the new SSX; it's great to have so many races available, but the knock-on effect is that the individual tracks don't feel so "special" as they do in SSX Tricky. A lot of them tend to blur together between things like cave-centric races and cliff ledge ridden downhill runs. They certainly play well, but they just don't quite manage the magic of the originals.
How to play?
The new SSX can seem incredibly complicated on the face of it. There is an overload of things to do when the game first boots up, and not all of it is particularly well explained. The essence of the way SSX works is laid out in brief training stages and then entire mountain ranges are opened up for you to snowboard down.
There is a hugely in-depth multiplayer present in SSX that's easy to ignore, simply because it is so difficult to make sense of. We advise really taking the time to explore everything that SSX has to offer. Get through things by yourself and then start attacking the stat-farming multiplayer. In fact, the single player acts as enough of a training ground to prep you for online escapades.
The number of tracks, and what exactly you can or can't do down them, is fairly unrestricted in terms of event types. Do bear in mind though that some riders are better suited to different types of events. There are trick-centric boarders and then those who do best flying down the slopes. This is why we found it slightly strange that you aren't given a free character selection at the start of the game and instead stuck with the weaker of the boarding line-up until you unlock the full repertoire.
It doesn't take long to get them unlocked because, as in SSX, you earn experience points by the bucket-load. These can be used to unlock outfits, boards and accessories for your rider. In fact you earn them so easily - even when you aren't playing the game - thanks to its online element, that they seem pretty much pointless after a few races.
The way that SSX plays-out is slightly unusual. You can either engage in a career mode, where you unlock races, trick sessions and boarders, or go straight for a Global Event, which is the game's multiplayer. In the latter mode everything is unlocked and you have free rein to try to put down the best scores or time on RiderNet, SSX's stat hub.
Once you have put in enough race time in the single-player mode, you will unlock a deadly decent on each mountain range. These are easily the highlight of the game, and consist of by far the most outlandish track designs. The aim of these races is simply to get to the bottom of the mountain without dying. Some are quite boring, involving lots of trees as obstacles, others have full-blown avalanches and ice caves to negotiate.
So how do you actually control SSX? Well, like the original, nearly everything is done via the left and right thumbsticks. On the left-hand side of the controller is the amount of spin you are going to put on your rider and in what direction. On the right is the "grab" he will pull off on his board. The two shoulder buttons govern which hand he uses and now in the new SSX, "X" or "square", depending on console, will let you either tweak tricks or do "manuals" on the slopes to link together moves.
The inclusion of accessories like the squirrel suit, as well as the ability to rewind time on the fly, adds further complication to the control scheme. At first it is a slight case of mental overload but after a few hours' play time you will be flipping, flying and rewinding yourself with ease. It gives the game a brilliant flow and ensures it plays just as good as the originals.
The track design is never going to be able to rival that of SSX Tricky, simply because this new title is just that bit more serious. There are still some amazing moments when you end up doing a quad backflip off an ice shelf on to the top of a truck, but don't expect to be doing loop the loops on every run.
In the end, SSX feels like everything a next-generation update to the game should be. It is incredibly refined, looks great and still retains all the sense of fun that the original titles had. The multiplayer element, despite being very much in the background, is great just the same.
We would have liked to see a slightly more straightforward single player and a tad more emphasis on the unlocking and general expansion of our character's skills. A menu redesign might also have helped to bring a bit of clarity to the game's tracks and race types.
Ultimately SSX is a great game, and by far the best extreme sports title to appear in both the PS3 and Xbox 360 since the days of the original Skate game. Fun in its purest form, SSX is a game you can enjoy for 20 minutes or blast at for a few hours.

Anaheim, California
Anaheim is a city in Orange County, California. Anaheim is the second most populous city in Orange County (after Santa Ana) and second largest in terms of land area (after Irvine), and is known for its theme parks, sports teams and convention center.
Founded by fifty German families in 1857 and incorporated on February 10, 1870, Anaheim developed into an industrial center, producing electronics, aircraft parts and canned fruit. It is the site of the Disneyland Resort, a world-famous grouping of theme parks and hotels which opened in 1955, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Honda Center and Anaheim Convention Center, the largest convention center on the West Coast. Its name is a blend of "Ana", after the nearby Santa Ana River, and "heim", a common German place name compound originally meaning "home".

PANAMA CITY BEACH — The rain was the least of the confusion at the Gulf Coast Triathlon Saturday.
A steady downpour started around 9:30 a.m. soaking the 70.3-mile course that began and ended at the Boardwalk Beach Resort. The 31st GCT had its typical twists aside from the weather, however.
The half-Ironman distance of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run is started in waves every year, making it possible that the first triathlete to cross the finish line won't necessarily be declared the victor.
That was the case on Saturday in the men's race, as a four-minute penalty was assessed to re-arrange the order of finish. A mix-up in timing also gave the eventual winner, Justin Ladner, some false hope before he discovered that he had improved on last year's second-place finish.
The first woman to cross, Kirsten Sass, won by two minutes.
St. Petersburg native Nat Glackin was the first male triathlete to finish in 4 hours, 18 minutes, 14 seconds. Glackin, 31, and Ladner, 33, were in the same age group and both entered the Gulf for the swim leg at 6:45 a.m. The two discussed their times after finishing, to which Ladner proclaimed they should stay "No. 1 and 2."
Glackin later received an undisclosed penalty that dropped him to third overall. The GCT timekeeper, Sommer Sports, only listed penalties, and didn't report specifics on its website.
Ladner of Birmingham, Ala., officially finished in 4:19.01. He initially subtracted five minutes because at the time of his interview he believed he started the race at 6:50 a.m. rather than 6:45. He said it was 10½ minutes faster than his 2012 clocking, but ended up still being five minutes better.
While some might assume times would have been slower given the wet conditions, Ladner held that the opposite was true.
"It made it cooler and there wasn't enough rain to cause a big problem," said Ladner, who held off second-place Chance Regina, 41, by 90 seconds. "The water was calm at the start, there was a nice wind on the bike and the rain kept the sun off of you so it was a nice tradeoff."
Ladner was 43rd out of the water and fell back five spots after the first transition. He posted the eighth-best bike time (2:17:31) and third-best run (1:26:03).
"I was playing catch-up all day," Ladner said. "But that can be a good thing sometimes."
It was for Ladner, who said winning the GCT was meaningful because the Bay County race was his first half-Ironman in 2005.
Glackin was informed he was the "unofficial" winner upon finishing, and spoke to the crowd after what he thought was a victory in his first GCT. He echoed Ladner in saying the conditions were conducive to a good race.
"Luckily the rain held off for most of us until the run," Glackin said. "Mentally, this race is a little different because it's flat and there's not a lot to look at on the bike. And the run can get a little lonely at times."
Glackin said the loneliness subsides along the way with the myriad volunteers and expanding crowd that still cheered the competitors despite needing umbrellas and rain gear. He also competed here in the 2011 Ironman Florida and said he pushed himself Saturday on the bike with a third-best time (2:12:21).
"My wife was following me the last mile and she said my eyes were rolling back in my head," Glackin said. "The finish line couldn't come soon enough."
There were no penalties or subsequent drama for Sass, who was the first female competitor to cross the finish line. She returned her time chip, grabbed a bottled water and walked to the medical tent.
Sass finished in 4:38.28 to surpass Deanna Newman (4:40:37) and three-time GCT winner Caroline Smith (4:46:46).
Sass, 34, of McKenzie, Tenn., was steady throughout the course. She was eighth out of the water and first after the transition to the bike. She was third in the bike portion (2:31.51) and was one of only two females to post a time of less than 1:32:00 in the run.
Sass ran 1:31:42, or 7 minutes per mile, for the No. 2 time on the course. Smith was second after the transition to the run, but also received a four-minute penalty.
GCT Top 10 results (unofficial):
Men — 1. Justin Ladner, 4:19:01, 2. Chance Regina, 4:20:31, 3. Nat Glackin, 4:22:14, 4. Allen Stanfield, 4:24:54, 5. Owen Schott, 4:25:39, 6. Andrew Heideman, 4:25:50, 7. Bojan Maric, 4:25:52, 8. Austin Hardy, 4:27:25, 9. Christopher Borden, 4:27:48, 10. Clayton Tillery, 4:28.28.
Women — 1. Kirsten Sass, 4:38:28, 2. Deanna Newman, 4:40:37, 3. Caroline Smith, 4:46:46, 4. Lesley Brainard, 4:48:44, 5. Jacqueline Sasaki, 4:50:05, 6. Stephanie Liles-Weyant, 4:52:12, 7. Jessica Crate, 4:54:54, 8. Julie Jerue, 5:00:22, 9. Colleen Ouellette, 5:07:03, 10. Anna Komitov, 5:10:00.

Obscure Celebrity Throws Over-The-Top Beverly Hills Wedding (Complete With 15-Ft Veil!)
Australian singer, actress, and model, Holly Valance wore a J'Aton Couture gown and accessorized it with an oversized veil measuring 15 feet at her Beverly Hills wedding this past weekend. Valance, who became famous outside the U.S. for her role in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, tied the knot to real estate mogul Nick Candy (don't worry, we've never heard of them either).
Guests included Simon Cowell, Princess Beatrice (remember when she wore that weird hat to William and Kate's wedding?), Elton John (seems like he's been making the rounds at weddings lately!), and, of course Katy Perry who was paid to perform a 45 minute set. See more pics of the wedding below:
