THURSDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- As the skies darkened over New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina unleashed her fury in August 2005, Scharmaine Lawson, a nurse practitioner, grabbed a T-shirt, some underwear, a toothbrush and her Palm Pilot, and headed out of town.
Unbeknownst to Lawson at the time, that small hand-held device, grabbed almost as an afterthought, would end up spelling the difference between life and death for some victims of this country's most devastating natural disaster.
In it, Lawson had stored basic medical records for all of her 100 homebound, elderly patients, most of them also indigent and disabled and living in New Orleans and surrounding parishes.
Electronic medical records refer to a patient's medical records when they're stored on a computer and accessible from different locations. Health practitioners and medical institutions around the United States are starting to adopt them, but they're still far from commonplace.
An estimated 25 percent of office-based doctors in the United States reported using fully or partially electronic medical record systems in 2005, the most recent statistics available. That represented a 31 percent increase from the 18.2 percent reported in a 2001 survey, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
But electronic records certainly weren't the norm in New Orleans prior to Katrina.
Lawson's physical office in New Orleans was destroyed under 5 feet of water. "We lost everything. Papers were stuck together and full of mud. Nothing could be retrieved," she said.
Lawson at least had her Palm Pilot. Others weren't so lucky. Doctors' offices and hospitals around the city experienced the same waterlogged nightmare, losing patient records permanently.
As Dr. Jay Brooks, chief of hematology/oncology at Ochsner Health System in Baton Rouge, La., pointed out, paper medical records are heavy, and most are stored in a basement or ground floor of a building. "All the records were easily sitting in foul-smelling water for three weeks," he said. "They're all lost."
Brooks remembers seeing refugees from New Orleans who did not know what type of cancer they had or what kind of treatment they had received.
Ochsner started developing an electronic records system 15 years ago and, as a result, information for all 300,000 of its patients was accessible after the storm.
When one Ochsner patient from New Orleans came into Brooks' office after Katrina, he was able to pull up all her records. "She'd had a heart transplant five years earlier and had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She sat in my office. I pulled up all of her records, and when the electronic record came up, it had her home address," Brooks recalled. "She broke down and cried, because her home had been washed away."
Lawson realized quickly that with her Palm Pilot she was "sitting on a gold mine, when a lot of my colleagues had no back-up."
For three months right after Katrina, Lawson operated from a temporary base in San Antonio, Texas, using her handheld to provide vital medical information to doctors and other health-care providers around the nation who were caring for her scattered clientele.

Pay R180 for a seafood platter for two people, valued at R360
Pay R325 for a seafood platter for four people, valued at R720
Set in the working half of Cape Town docks in Table Bay harbour, Panama Jacks has evolved from a humble boat yard serving the Royal Cape Yacht Club to a quality seafood restaurant known the world over. With its low flagged bedecked ceiling and rustic ambiance, the restaurant has been serving mouth-watering fare with an emphasis on quality and great wines for the last nine years. Providing a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere and a truly authentic dining experience, Panama Jacks is a hidden gem waiting to be found.
Sate seaside cravings with an extensive seafood platter for two or four people, featuring fresh Kingklip and other local sea-related eats. Groupies can delight taste buds with Portuguese mussels and perfectly cooked calamari strips before sending succulent prawns sailing into mouths on a wave of lemon butter, garlic butter or peri-peri sauce. Crab claws and spring rolls arrive cooked and paired with healthy helpings of rice, chips and rolls; making belt-loosening a near necessity.
This original seafood restaurant is situated in the heart of the Cape Town harbour, away from the touristy waterfront. The unpretentious wooden building and atmospheric interior is fabulous. We specifically went to Panama Jacks for the lobster, which certainly did not disappoint, absolutely delicious and worth the visit!

interesting as i had the thoughts in my head, ie if i bulk and but on more muscle than fat i will get leaner,
not sure if its flawed though
I'm currently eating and training to bulk up and although my diet is pretty clean, I'm still gaining a small amount of fat along with much bigger lean mass gains.
I was considering altering my diet to try and reduce the fat loss even more, but then I thought that if I just stick with it, maybe the following will happen:
- Seeing as I'm in a calorie surplus and I'm eating the right things, I'll continue to gain lean mass
- I'll continue to gain more lean mass than fat
- Eventually this means that I'll have built enough muscle to put my daily calorie needs above my intake as my metabolism speeds up
- At that point I'll stop gaining lean mass but will start to slowly burn fat, the net result being that I end up keeping whatever lean mass gains I made but I lose the fat
Will this be the case or is my thinking flawed? Maybe it's what most people do already, but I was always of the "bulk then cut" mindset, meaning different diets for different goals. If my above assumptions are correct then it means I could ultimately achieve both without having to alter my diet.
interesting as i had the thoughts in my head, ie if i bulk and but on more muscle than fat i will get leaner,
not sure if its flawed though
However once you reach this point its likely that you will, for some time, stay in a point of homestosis where you don't gain muscle or lose fat. Not every having gained quite enough lean tissue to push you into a calorie deficit.
What would probably be more productive when you need to lose some fat is to switch the emphasis towards fat burning by reducing the calories slightly or incorporating more cardio to push you into a deficit.
Sound, so I keep going until I stop growing, then either increase calories to continue growing, or stick at the same amount but introduce cardio to create a deficit and hopefully lose fat.
It may well be what the majority of people do already, but all I ever read about is that "you must have a specific bulking diet" and "you must have a specific cutting diet".
If this works for me it'll save a lot of hassle as I like my current diet and have tweaked it so it's a good balance between ultra-clean, not very enjoyable and more enjoyable but with too much crap.
I also feel like sh1t on low-carb diets, with no energy and a short fuse.
So if you are gaining mostly lean tissue with minimal fat gain (which is pretty much the ideal scenario for optimal muscle gains) the diet isn't far out.
Simply creating the deficit should give you the desired effect.
Sound, thanks mate. I'll stick with it then

British Archaeology Summer School
With Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, England
This high profile month long summer school gives American University Students an opportunity to learn, at source, about the archaeology of Britain with top Professors in the field.
The academic course has five principal components:
1. A series of 30 lectures given by senior academics covering the successive periods of British prehistoric and post-prehistoric archaeology, from the earliest settlement of Britain to the end of the medieval period ca.1500. This will include lectures devoted to the major, relevant aspects of archaeological method and theory, combined with guided visits to the laboratories of the Cambridge University McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research and the museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
3. A 4-day study tour of Ancient Wessex to visit many of the most important archaeological sites in southern England, including the famous Neolithic and Bronze-age sites of Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Avebury, West Kennet and Durrington Walls, Salisbury Cathedral and Old Sarum.
4. Field visits to relevant Roman and medieval sites. Shorter visits will be made to the principal medieval colleges of Cambridge and the collections of Cambridge University Fitzwilliam Museum, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the British Museum (London) and the unique collection of Anglo-Saxon and early medieval manuscripts housed in the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College itself – containing almost 25 percent of the known Anglo-Saxon manuscripts world-wide.
5. Tuition in practical excavation methods, including 2 days test-pitting learning the techniques of digging first hand.
Some lectures and field visits will be at the weekends but time will also be scheduled for individual study and exploration.
For 2012 an optional 2-week fieldwork extension at an extra cost is available, in which you will be able to take part in an important archaeological excavation in the UK. The number of places is strictly limited so please contact us as soon as possible to receive further details.
The academic timetable for the 2012 Summer School can be seen below."Academic Timetable" (File Size:112kb )
Ancient Wessex Tour
In addition to the series of field visits closer to Cambridge, the Summer School incorporates a four-day excursion to the area of ancient Wessex, during which we will visit some of the most important archaeological sites in southern England, including Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Avebury, West Kennet, Silbury Hill, Salisbury and Old Sarum.
Corpus Christi College
Founded by the Guilds of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Corpus Christi bears the distinction of being the only college in Oxford or Cambridge to be founded by the town citizens, rather than a royal, rich, or other important person.
One of the college's most famous assets is the Parker Library, named after Matthew Parker (1504-75), Master of the College and Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Treasures include the earliest known copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and a bound copy of the St Augustine Gospels from the 6th century. A special visit to the library will be made.
Former students of the college include the Elizabethan dramatist Christopher Marlowe, American author Christopher Isherwood, and the well-known seventeenth-century British archaeologist and antiquarian (and Druid advocate) Sir William Stukeley.
Today the college is home to a very active, international community of 400 students (from all academic disciplines). The college is located in the historic centre of Cambridge and consists of the medieval buildings of Old Court, constructed around 1352, and the later New Court, built by the famous Regency architect William Wilkins in 1827. A recent addition to the college is the extraordinary Chronophage clock, designed by former student Dr John Taylor, now one of the most photographed tourist attractions in Cambridge!
A short introduction to the Summer School will be provided, availability permitting, by the present Master of the College (and former British Ambassador to Kuwait) Stuart Laing, at a reception to be held in the college gardens.
College Life
Accommodation at Corpus Christi will be in single rooms (bathroom facilities are shared) in Newnham House, a delightful Victorian villa with private gardens, set in an excellent riverside location a few minutes' walk from the college. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be taken in the college dining hall and students will also experience a formal, traditional dinner, as enjoyed by generations of Cambridge scholars.
The college social and library facilities, as well as computer rooms, will be available to students at no extra cost. Internet access is included in the cost of your accommodation for those who wish to bring a laptop computer.
There will be opportunities to mix with local students as well as other overseas students visiting the University. Optional theatre visits, concerts and other cultural activities will be arranged or recommended. Unless otherwise stated (see later) these activities will not be included in the price.
Of course, you will also have free time during which you can explore for yourselves the delights of Cambridge, a city which combines a wealth of history with an exciting and multicultural present.

"Game 162″ as they refer to it in Tampa, by was all accounts the culmination of lady luck and resilience by the Tampa Bay Rays. Between the Boston Red Sox's late-season collapse and loss to Baltimore on the last day of the season, and Tampa coming back from eight games down to start September and five runs down in game 162 to win the wild-card, the 'never-say-die' Rays focused on one consistency all year, and it paid off: fundamentals.
The Rays do the fundamentals better than any other team in baseball. They steal bases, execute bunts, play excellent team defense, take the extra base, and move runners over. These qualities make Tampa a playoff threat every year.
Being able to perform the fundamentals well has compensated for the lack of power in the Tampa line-up. All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria is the slugger on the team and can do it all, providing power, speed, and gold-glove defense. Other players who have had big power years but have not displayed the power consistently, include: center fielder B.J.Upton, second baseman Ben Zobrist, and outfielder Matt Joyce.
Luke Scott was signed on to provide some added pop and Carlos Pena was brought back to play first base. Sean Rodriguez provides flexibility at all infield positions and Sam Fuld does the same for the outfield.
The player to watch this year is outfielder Desmond Jennings. In only 247 at-bats last year, Jennings hit .259 with 9 triples, 10 home runs, 25 runs batted in, and 20 stolen bases. If he is able to keep up that pace, a 25 home run, 80 RBI, 40 stolen base season is not out of the question. Expect the Rays to stick to what has worked for them, and that is manufacture runs and not wait for the home run, like several American League teams do.
Pitching is the Rays strength, and they may posses the best starting staff in the league. All-Stars David Price and "Big Game" James Shields lead the staff, which includes Wade Davis, Jeff Niemann, Jeremy Hellickson, and Matt Moore, who as a rookie last year started game 1 of the ALDS vs. the Texas Rangers and pitched 7 shutout innings of two-hit ball.
With such a deep and talented rotation, the Rays could trade one of their prized pitchers for another power hitter or add to the depth of their bullpen. But with having young pitchers in Hellickson and Moore, who may be on an innings limit, having six reliable starters may be the route to go.
Every year so-called "experts" pick the Red Sox or Yankees to go 1-2 in the division, and over the last few seasons the Rays have disrupted that pick. Although they are a small market team and do not have a high payroll, it all comes down to fundamentals for the Rays, and fundamentals win ball games. Look for the Rays to earn one of the two wild-card berths in the American League this year.
One thought on "A View from the Couch: Roadblocks – Week 4"
March 18, 2012 at 7:24 am
Not too sure if Pena is what they need. Way to many Ks and a weak BA. That is hard for any team to hide in the middle of the order. If he can at least raise the BA the Rays will thrive offensively.
Agreed, the pitching staff is deep and talented.
Madden is an outstanding coach hence the sound fundamental baseball approach. It means the difference in a lot of games and every W is huge inn the AL East.
Personally, I've kept Longoria in fantsasy pool since Day 1, hoping he stays healthy and has the Monster Year he is capable of. Of course I want him to boot the ball around and go 0-for against the Jays.

Re: nvidia 100.14.19 + ipw3945: system freezes
I'm really starting to think that my wireless card was the culprit. I've had 0 problems now with the nvidia driver since I've switched to iwl3945. Earlier today I saw the same kind of activity that used to result in a freeze "psmouse lost sync" errors and the wireless card crapped out requiring me to restart to get it to work again, yet the video was fine.
I did have a permenant vram corruption using compiz + dosbox today, but I believe thats unrelated and due to my fooling around with fullscreen+x11 damage. Restarting compiz fixed it and I didn't have to log out, so thats not too severe.
I suppose since all drivers run under supervisor (kernel) mode, they have the ability to trip each other up, which might have been going on with the wireless. I still find it odd though if this is the solution, since my wifi card and nvidia are on two separate irq's.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Two large Iowa grocery store chains were penalized for child labor violations following a multiyear enforcement initiative conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division in Iowa and Nebraska.
Details -- which were released Thursday -- show grocery stores across the state had violations in which minors performed tasks like loading or operating balers, meat slicers, bakery machines, and operating a motor vehicle -- which violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The investigation, which took place in 2011 and 2012, audited a total of 27 Hy-Vee stores, 19 of which passed the audit. Eight Hy-Vee stores were cited for a total of 28 violations. Of those 28 violations, 25 involved employees under 18 throwing trash or boxes into compactors or balers. Ruth Comer, assistant vice president of media relations at Hy-Vee, said the compactors or balers were not in operation in the 25 violations listed.
The other three involved underage employees cleaning parts of disassembled equipment, which is also prohibited by the Fair Labor Standards Act. According to a press release, one of the Hy-Vee stores with a violation is located in Cedar Rapids. Another nearby grocery store -- Big G Food Store Inc. in Marengo -- was cited for similar violations, which include allowing minors to operate a meat slicer, use a compactor/baler, and a violation that involved underage employees working hours or times prohibited by the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Scott Allen, regional director for public affairs for the U.S. Department of Labor, said those violations shouldn't be taken lightly.
"I think the baler/compactor charges are very serious, because it puts youth in danger of possibly being crushed by the baler, that's why they're not allowed to use them. That basically crushes material such as cardboard and presses it down," Allen said. "It's very dangerous and we've had cases -- I'm not aware of a fatality in this investigation -- but I have dealt with it in other states, where youth are injured because they caught an arm in there and they lose an arm."
Comer said that underage employees and their managers are trained on what tasks they are and are not allowed to complete, adding that, in most cases, teen employees are trying to help out by keeping things cleaned up and throwing things out, but end up, inadvertently, doing a task that's restricted.
"They don't realize at the time they're doing anything wrong, and they feel bad after when they find out that wasn't something they're supposed to do," Comer said. "We take it as our responsibility to keep re-training and re-educating about tasks that are restricted to employees 18 and over."
Garrett S. Piklapp, secretary and general counsel with Fareway Stores Inc., said they were aware of the report and that Fareway cooperated fully with the Department of Labor's investigation. In a public statement, Piklapp said nearly all the violations resulted from a minor throwing cardboard into a bailer that was not operating.
"We feel strongly that none of the violations jeopardized the safety or well-being of any minor employee at Fareway," Piklapp said in the statement. "Maintaining a safe environment for our employees and customers remains our top priority, and we will continue to improve this through additional training and awareness programs throughout the organization."
Though no nearby Fareway stores were listed on the release, stores in New Hampton, Ottumwa, Toledo, Webster City, Norwalk, and Ames received violations.
As a result of the initiative, the release said Fareway Stores, Inc. has signed a settlement with the department committing to ensure future compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act at all of it's present and future stores. That agreement includes specific measures the company will take to prevent future violations, such as training managers about hazardous occupations for minors and posting information about the Act for employees, establishing email contact for reporting possible violations and implementing a new policy to ensure its employment of minors is in compliance with child labor laws.
The Wage and Hour Division in Des Moines also conducted a seminar at the Hy-Vee headquarters to give managers and staff compliance assistance and how to prevent future violations.
The Department of Labor has established safety standards for young workers. Employees under 18 are not allowed to perform activities deemed hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. Banned activities for minors include using power-driven machinery, balers, compactors, and paper-product machines. They also include driving a motor vehicle or working as an outside helper on a motor vehicle, among other things.
Comer said Hy-Vee is also working to take precautions like putting up more signs, or locking and keeping baler doors closed and giving the manager on shift a key, to prevent minors from inadvertently breaking the rules or harming themselves.
"We're very proud of the thousands of young people we employ, in most cases, when we employ a 16-year-old it's their first job and we take pride in providing them with that first work experience and we want it to be a very positive one for them and most of all make sure they're in a safe and supportive environment," Comer said. " So we take that responsibly very seriously and when mistakes occur our focus is on education and preventing those mistakes from reoccurring."

NBA Game Summary - Utah at New York
(Friday, March 7th)
Final Score: New York 108, Utah 81
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Carmelo Anthony tallied 29 points and a season-high eight assists to key a 108-81 New York Knicks rout of the Utah Jazz from Madison Square Garden.
Twelve different Knicks scored in this one, with J.R. Smith hitting five 3- pointers en route to 17 points and Tyson Chandler posting 16 points with a game-high 11 rebounds. The Knicks have won two in a row on the heels of a seven-game skid.
"Right now we have to try and win as many basketball games as possible to make it to the playoffs," said Chandler. "My job as a leader is to do whatever it takes to win basketball games."
Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks netted 18 points apiece for the Jazz, who have lost five in a row. Richard Jefferson added 12 in the setback.
It was 5-5 early on when Anthony netted seven points during an 11-3 New York surge. Amar'e Stoudemire capped the burst with a jam at 6:46.
The Knicks shot a blistering 70 percent -- including 6-of-10 from 3-point range -- in the opening 12 minutes and led 39-22 after Anthony hit a triple just seconds before the buzzer.
"You can't ease your way into a game," said Jefferson. "You have to come out with energy and with a ferocity."
Utah never threatened in this one, trailing by at least 10 points the rest of the way.
Just 4:14 into the second quarter, Jefferson's 3-ball cut New York's advantage to 43-33. Utah's next three possessions featured two missed field goals and a turnover, while Smith's triple highlighted a 9-0 run at the other end.
The Knicks led 60-41 at halftime and 84-60 after three before emptying the bench.
Game Notes
New York outscored Utah 21-6 in transition ... Utah won the rebounding margin 47-35 but shot just 6-of-27 from the arc ... Jazz center Enes Kanter finished with nine points and nine rebounds ... The Jazz turned the ball over 19 times while forcing just seven NY miscues.

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Elijah Meeks, a digital humanities specialist at Stanford University, and Haijra Meeks, an international history lecturer at the University of California and artist, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
Mrs. Meeks said that it was a "breath-taking performance and very moving."
Based in New York, Shen Yun was established by a group of artists in 2006 with the mission of reviving the ancient Chinese divine culture. At the core of the performance is classical Chinese dance and music.
Mrs. Meeks was touched by the Eastern culture. "All the grace and all the beautiful colors and all the movements—it's glorious and magnificent. I think it's beautiful," she said.
Mr. Meeks has a PhD in Chinese history and works as the digital humanities specialist at Stanford University. The Digital Humanities Specialist position was specially created to give Stanford faculty access to project design, visualization, and software development oriented toward the creation of digital scholarly media, according to the Stanford University Libraries and Academic information resources. Mr. Meeks also co-created the ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World, a network that reconstructs the time cost and financial expense associated with a wide range of different types of travel in antiquity.
According to Shen Yun's website, "In a collection of short pieces, audiences travel from the Himalayas to tropical lake-filled regions; from the legends of the culture's creation over 5,000 years ago through to the story of Falun Dafa in China today."
"It's beautiful," he said. Mr. Meeks was particularly touched by the pieces depicting life in modern day China and the Chinese communist party's treatment of Falun Dafa.
Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is guided by the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance." It has helped over a hundred million Chinese people understand and return to the essence of traditional Chinese culture—Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist schools of thought, according to Shen Yun's website.
For over a decade, "the Chinese Communist Party, whose regime and ideology are in stark contrast with the traditional culture of China, has targeted Falun Gong for persecution," it states.
"It's very touching to see the expression in this way. It's typical in this kind of classical dance to only express classical stories and to show modern stories—it's very good," he said. "Obviously, it's beautifully done," Mr. Meeks said.
Mrs. Meeks has extensive scholarly background from the University of San Francisco and the London School of Economics and Political Science. An artist, Mrs. Meeks also produces artwork in watercolor, ink, acrylic, pastel, and oil pastel, and has expertise in Islamic history, Arabic, Islamic art, and calligraphy. Her parents are from Pakistan.
Shen Yun's colors moved Mrs. Meeks. She said it was a "festival of color."
"Watching the gracefulness—it's very touching. I was very emotional watching it," Mrs. Meeks said. "It's a great thing to bring to the West. It's wonderful," she said.
Mr. and Mrs. Meeks said they recommend Shen Yun to all their friends. "We should have more of it," Mrs. Meeks said of ancient Chinese culture. "There's not a lot of people exposed to this—the more the better," she said.
Reporting by Lily Yu and Kelly Ni
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

Uhuru Kenyatta's The National Alliance (TNA) and William Ruto's United Republican Party (URP) have formally sealed their coalition deal and presented the documents to the Registrar of Political Parties.
Speaking at the signing ceremony at Nairobi's Jeevanjee Gardens, Kenyatta asked the international community to let him and his running mate Ruto to express their democratic right of vying for political office despite the pending crimes against humanity charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"Even a suspect has his own right in their own nation. From the time we were falsely accused we stood in front of the nation and the world and said we are determined to follow due process; we are determined to protect our integrity as a nation, please let Kenyans express their democratic right," he implored.
According to Kenyatta, the ICC process should not be used to limit their rights.
The ICC has previously said the decision to have the two on the ballot was squarely dependent on provisions in Kenyan law.
The Gatundu South MP said; "That power is in all those hands including that court at The Hague, which holds it on behalf of humanity. This is humanity, all we are saying is that let this humanity be given the right to elect their leaders... you claim to represent them, let them be given the freedom to elect their leaders in a manner that is democratic."
Kenyatta who addressed hundreds of people who gathered to witness the grand political deal insisted that Kenya is a sovereign country that should be allowed to run its affairs.
"Next year we shall be marking 50 years of our independence, we are determined to protect our sovereignty. We want to work with nations of the world who claim to be believers of democracy. We don't plan to be enemies of anybody. Kenya has been a friend of all and wants to remain a friend of all. It wants to be the island of peace in the region filled with conflicts where we harbour our brothers and sisters who are from war torn countries," he said.
Kenyatta also told visiting former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and ex-Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa who are members of the Panel of Eminent African Personalities to keep off Kenya's affairs.
"We plead with you, we respect your concern because you are a friend and a friend must always be concerned, but at some stage you must leave the home to determine its own future. Kenya wants to determine its future, and we shall do so with our fellow Kenyans," he said.
Earlier, Annan said they were not meddling in Kenya's affairs, but walking with the country as it prepares to implement its constitution and also hold general elections under the new law.
Ruto - the Eldoret North MP - who will be Kenyatta's running mate in the polls, said URP and TNA will ensure that Kenya does not return to violence and announced their commitment to ensure peace and unity will prevail in the country under their leadership.
However, he urged their political rivals to desist from using abusive politics likely to deter peace efforts.
His remarks were echoed by URP chairman Francis ole Kaparo.
"We are not in a competition of insults... we are not in the business of insults and we are not competing with anybody about insults, you can have all the insults you want without contest from us. We are also telling our competitors please be honest," he said.
The National Alliance and United Republican Party later presented their agreement to the registrar of political parties ahead of the deadline on Tuesday.

CCPD: Hotel security guard helps catch boat thief
CORPUS CHRISTI - A security guard at a hotel was able to help Corpus Christi police track down a man who stole a boat and trailer early Friday, according to a police brief.
Police said a security guard at a hotel on the 6200 block of South Padre Island Drive saw a man unhook a boat and trailer from a pickup and hook it to his 2008 Ford Expedition. The security guard provided a license plate number to police.
At a car wash on Airline Road near Cimarron Road, police found the SUV with the boat. The man driving the SUV was not the owner of the boat. The driver, Richard Cabello, 33, actually had an outstanding warrant for theft when he was stopped.
Cabello is now in Nueces County Jail with a $15,000 for theft on the boat and trailer and another $15,000 bond on the outstanding theft warrant.

Nairobi — Fourteen-year-old Mercy Cherono of Kiptenden Athletics Club stole the show in the six-kilometre junior women's cross-country race sponsored by Kenya Seed Company at Kapkatet in Bureti District on Wednesday.

Looks like the sale saga of The Pirate Bay may not be over quite yet. The sale of the site's domain and trademarks to Swedish software firm Global Gaming Factory X was never completed last fall. But Global Gaming Factory X now says it expects a deal to be done by June 30 and says it will then offload the assets to a related third-party. In a statement, Global Gaming Factory X says that "a development stage" firm called "Business Marketing Services" has agreed to buy the Pirate Bay assets in exchange for a $10 million promissory note.
Business Marketing Services, which shares an unnamed majority shareholder with Global Gaming Factory X, says it wants to use the assets to "launch a paid-for service with licensed content based on next generation filesharing technology." The deal is contingent on the sale of The Pirate Bay assets to Global Gaming Factory X going through.
The track record here is extremely poor, however. Global Gaming Factory X initially announced it would buy the Pirate Bay in late June for just over $8 million. However, the acquisition was quickly mired in accusations of insider trading, insufficient funds and doubts about whether the company's…read the full story at paidcontent.co.uk

Iowa caucuses: GOP race gets nasty as contest nears
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — So much for Iowa Nice. It's more like Iowa Nasty.
In a state whose Midwestern civility usually extends to politics, the Republican presidential campaign has become an acerbic affair. Negative ads fill TV and radio. Attacks are all over the Internet and in material stuffed in mailboxes. Many of the candidates are bashing each other with abandon.
It's a reflection of the crowded GOP field and the volatile race to emerge as the Republican challenger to President Barack Obama in November. To the dismay of many voters, it's also probably only going to get worse when there are fewer candidates and the contest moves to New Hampshire, South Carolina and beyond.
"If they go negative, they aren't getting my vote," says Ginger Allsup, a 45-year-old Oskaloosa bakery worker.
That's a risk campaigns in Iowa are willing to take, given the high stakes and state of the race ahead of Tuesday's caucuses that kick off the fight for the GOP nomination.
Only three candidates typically make it out of Iowa with enough momentum and money to continue. Polls are showing that most hopefuls are bunched tightly behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Desperate to break from the pack, they're whacking away in hopes of sinking opponents and wooing undecided voters.
Usually, presidential candidates and their allies take care to be congenial in Iowa, which has a record of rewarding candidates who stay above the fray. It's a state where campaigns seek to make positive first impressions by promoting their own policies and offering subtle comparisons.
By the time New Hampshire comes around, the field usually has narrowed and those left standing try to differentiate themselves even more, in a sharper and often more personal tone. It only escalates from there when voting turns to South Carolina, which has a long history of go-for-the-jugular politics.
But Iowa is different this year.
It's partly because of a Supreme Court decision that allowed unions, corporations and individuals to spend unlimited amounts of money to advocate for the election or defeat of candidates. As a result, new outside groups, known as super PACs (political action committees), that are aligned with the candidates sprang up. These groups have paid for an avalanche of hard-hitting TV and radio ads, as well as aggressive literature in mailboxes and harsh messages online.
What about the candidate? They're hardly holding their tongues. Sometimes, they're using language that Republicans often reserve for Democrats
"She doesn't like Muslims, she hates them, she wants to go get 'em," Texas Rep. Ron Paul said about Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. "Dangerous" is how Bachmann describes Paul's foreign policy.
In other cases, they use humor to try to blunt the force of the attacks.
Asked about Newt Gingrich's failure to get on the Virginia ballot, Romney likened the former House speaker's political operations to an out-of-control chocolate factory from a half-century-old "I Love Lucy" episode.
"Cute" was Gingrich's reply.

The Importance of Credit Monitoring for Moms
As mom's we often think that our credit might not carry that much weight. But the truth of the matter is, that it really does. Even though you might be a stay at home mom or a soon to be stay at home mom, it is extremely important that you continue to stay on top of your credit score.
Did you know that you can even get free credit reports from various sources online? Many of these services are very user friendly and do not make it a painstaking process, and it is super simple to understand.
Before you get your Free Credit Report Score, be sure you are doing the right things to maximize your Credit Report. Often times, as stay at home moms we let things go to the way side, but your credit report is extremely important to understand, and make sure you are taking the right steps to keeping it as clean as possible.
Here are a few pitfalls that you want to avoid as a stay at home mom:
Having your credit report under your maiden name
Be sure that when you get married (or divorced) that you notify all three credit reporting agencies, and provide proof showing the name change. This could inhibit you from having a credit record in your new name, which in turn makes it slightly challenging to get a credit card or loan. A few of the credit agencies will automatically make the change for you when they are notified by your creditors, but don't assume that this will always happen. Be proactive, not reactive!

When Don Frey volunteered in 1969 to work on the University of Pennsylvania Museum's excavation of a Late Roman shipwreck at Yassi Ada, Turkey, he had no idea that he was on the threshold of beginning a four-decade relationship with George Bass that led to his presidency of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology. Up to that point Don's academic training and experience was as a professor of physics, with no training in archaeology. After three months excavating the Roman shipwreck with George, he went back to teaching physics at Istanbul's Robert College, now Bogazaci University. But the following summer he was drawn back to underwater archaeology and worked with Peter Throckmorton in Greece. Then in 1971 he initiated a series of side-scan sonar surveys along the Turkish coastline between Bodrum and Antalya, again for the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
That same year Don received a prestigious grant from the American Council of Learned Societies which allowed him to spend two years in Oxford combining his background in physics with his new interest in archaeology. Working with Dr. E. T. Hall, Director of the Oxford Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Don developed computer programs to provide archaeologists with "user friendly" displays of archaeomagnetic survey data. He also developed a course in the Applications of Physics to Archaeology which he taught the following year at the University of Wisconsin.
In 1975, after participating in other archaeological projects in Greece and Turkey, Don joined the newly formed Institute of Nautical Archaeology and in the years following worked with INA at Lipari north of Sicily, at Mombasa in Kenya, at Pedro Shoals in Jamaica, and on all the INA excavations in Turkey, where he still lives, and where he and his Danish wife Suzanne raised their two daughters.
In addition, his annual surveys of the Turkish coast were particularly fruitful. With his knowledge of Turkish, he visited the sponge divers off season to learn about anything unusual they had seen under the sea. Don was particularly interested in the Bronze Age copper trade and always showed the divers a sketch of a four-handled ingot typical of the period, asking them to be sure to tell him if they ever saw one. In 1982 diver Mehmet Çak?r came up from very deep near Uluburun and told his sponge-boat captain about "strange metal biscuits with ears" he had seen on the seabed. The captain knew Don and, realizing the possible importance of what the diver had found, told Mehmet to report his find to the archaeologists in Bodrum, which he did.
Finds from INA's decade-long excavation of that Late Bronze Age site at Uluburun not only have rewritten much of the history of the Bronze Age Mediterranean, but are featured in the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, and have been displayed as loan exhibits both in Germany and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
In 1982 Don became INA's second president. During his six-year tenure INA acquired the land and constructed the first building for its Bodrum Research Center. Both before and after that role, his contributions to the Institute have been many: he is one of INA's chief language experts (he speaks four languages comfortably), he has designed measuring and recording equipment for divers to use under water, he directed annual surveys that located many of the two hundred ancient shipwrecks in INA files, and he became INA's principal photographer and videographer through his excellent work on many projects. His underwater photographs have been featured in American and European magazines such as National Geographic, Time and L'Express, and his underwater filming has been featured on Turkish television and in both National Geographic Explorer and ABC 20/20 TV programs in the United States.
As a former president, vice president, and now as a research associate and INA honorary ambassador, Don is still involved in generating increased interest in INA, expanding INA's Board of Directors, and in seeking additional sources of funding for INA projects around the world.
And he is still looking for another Bronze Age shipwreck…..

Advice to grads: Chase your bliss
This post was originally published May 2013.
UALR graduation is nearly here! The big day, which we hold twice a year, is the culmination of a long journey that for many students began years ago. For Nick Steele, director of Chancellor's Leadership Corps here at UALR, that journey began in high school in small-town Hardin, Ark.
A 3.0 GPA student at Sheridan High, Nick was involved in sports, organizations, and service projects. It was his volunteerism that landed him a CLC scholarship to attend UALR.
"I always wanted to attend college and become either a sports broadcaster or a meteorologist. At a young age I would often get in trouble for talking while the teacher conducted class," Nick said. "My mother would always say, 'You better one day find a job to use your voice.'"
Use his voice he did, as an on-air personality for Channel 62 News Live at 5. As a radio, TV, film major, Nick was gaining invaluable, real-world skills. But there was more to college than academics.
"I had several mentors and role models I looked up to for guidance who helped push me to keep going. My mother and father both had a bachelor's and master's degree. They completed both degrees after having kids. The chair of RTVF department, Dr. David Guerra, or 'Dr. G' as we called him, always kept me on task in my major area," Nick said. "And when I just needed to talk to someone about life in general, I found myself visiting our CLC teacher and Director of Counseling, Mr. Mike Wingfield in Ross Hall on the 4th floor. I also knew whatever I chose to do in life, I wanted to help and have a positive impact on people's lives as so many of my mentors did."
Nick discovered what all students do at some point: you must pursue what you are passionate about … chase your bliss. His path is a great example of doing just that.
When you graduated from college, did you know what your next step would be? How did you know?
I worked numerous jobs while trying to finish my college career. I worked in the dairy department at Kroger on Chenal, as a clerk at Hogman's Hogpen on University, and as a courier and then escrow assistant at Wilson Associates Law Firm.
It was actually during these hard times that I discovered what I truly wanted to do. I began to think back over my years in college and how much I enjoyed my time as a CLC student. I had the opportunity to serve as a sophomore ambassador and work in the Admissions office under the guidance of Keesha. I always enjoyed giving campus tours, talking to prospects over the phone, and assisting with local recruitment fairs. It was an adrenaline rush very similar to my days on camera. Once I completed my degree from UALR, I noticed a job in the paper for an Admissions Recruiter at the Arkansas School for Math, Science, and the Arts (ASMSA). They offered me my first full-time, benefits eligible job.
Commencement is a big moment. But it is just a moment. What should graduates in the Class of 2013 be doing now?
It is a moment but it is also a proud moment. Enjoy your day because it is your day! Family, friends, and mentors will celebrate in this moment with you. During this time and throughout the summer it is all about job search or if you want to attend graduate school. Apply for the jobs that best fit you. Do not lose hope when you receive a rejection letter or you do not get that dream job.
What about graduate school?
When contemplating graduate school, I think you need to ask yourself a question: Will this help me and give me the knowledge I desire to attain my dream job? For some, that answer can be answered with a bachelor's degree but for many others it takes an advanced degree to get a leg up on the competition. Personally, my graduate school experience was wonderful.
Anything else you'd like to add?
My goal as a member of the UALR team is to help assist students with their transition from high school to college, retain our students, and graduate our students. I want every UALR student to succeed at the highest levels.
One Response to "Advice to grads: Chase your bliss"
Bliss is when you don't have to back to class any more and you can start making money from what you have learned.

SPLC Outreach During National Youth Justice Awareness Month
October is National Youth Justice Awareness Month – a time when the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Campaign for Youth Justice and our allies host community events that expose the devastating consequences of children being sent to adult courts, jails and prisons.
Even though the research is clear that children in the adult system are more likely to reoffend than if they are held in the juvenile justice system, thousands of children are sent into the adult system every year in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. We must stop this destructive practice. Steps also must be taken to ensure children in the juvenile justice system have every opportunity to get their lives back on track.
National Youth Justice Awareness Month began as a single event in 2008. It has become a movement with events in 21 states and the District of Columbia. The SPLC will host or support events in the four states where it has offices:
- Wednesday, Oct.16: The SPLC will partner with the NAACP at UAB and other student organizations to host a free screening of the documentary Juvies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After the screening, there will be a discussion led by SPLC Staff Attorney Ebony Howard and Rickey Ward, an advocate and formerly incarcerated youth.
- Saturday, Oct. 19: The SPLC will partner with the Tampa Interfaith Coalition for Juvenile Justice to host a community forum in Tampa, Fla., addressing children tried as adults.
- Saturday, Oct. 26: The SPLC will partner with the Children's Defense Fund and other local nonprofits to host a youth art and poetry slam at Tougaloo College. The SPLC also will partner with Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children to host a 5k walk/run. (Registration begins at 8 a.m., race begins at 9:30 a.m. 6500 Magazine St., New Orleans, LA)
