Madeline Wallin was one of the first female graduate students at the University of Chicago. A student of political science, she received her Ph.M. degree in 1893, two years after completing her undergraduate work at Smith College and the University of Minnesota.
An alert and active member of the fledgling academic community, Miss Wallin took part in many of the educational and social events of the University. She was a member of the Club of History and Political Science, and one of the prime organizers of The Women's University Settlement League, a student group which devoted time and skills to the nearby Chicago settlement houses.
After completion of her graduate degree in 1893, Madeline Wallin became an instructor of history at Smith College. In 1897, she married George C. Sikes, an editor of the Chicago Record and a former classmate. Although her marriage and the birth of her two children, Alfred and Eleanor (later Mrs. Peters), curtailed her teaching career, Madeline Wallin remained a popular speaker on settlements and education reform until her death in 1955.
The Madeline Wallin Papers are divided into three categories: Correspondence, Graduate Themes and Papers, and Miscellaneous Papers and Articles. The major portion of the collection is composed of personal correspondence between Miss Wallin, her parents (Judge and Mrs. Alfred Wallin), George C. Sikes, and friends such as Otto Folin. The correspondence dates from her high school days in Elgin, Illinois (ca. 1887) to her death in 1955. Many of the letters written during her "student" days are important in that they offer detailed accounts of early student life at the University of Chicago, including sketches of Harper, Judson and other members of the faculty, and delve into the problems encountered by female students at the time.
Of foremost importance in the collection are several themes and papers written by Miss Wallin while at the University of Chicago. "First Impressions of the University of Chicago" was written in 1893 for the University of Minnesota student paper, Ariel. It offers a rather concise view of life at the new university, conveying much of the optimism and philosophy surrounding that creation which [Harper's] mind and Rockefeller's money are to evolve upon Chicago soil. "Dr. Harper and the University Girls" gives some insight into the difficulties that were encountered by the first women students. Of great interest, also, are the capsulated descriptions of Jane Addams, Hull House, and a robbery on the Quad, which are found in Madeline Wallin's "Daily Class Themes."

A stage whisper can be an effective dramatic device, but a curtain call usually just gives away the final twist. Make some noise for the theatre with today's Groupon: £6 for a ticket to see The Ciggie Run at St. Helens Theatre Royal.
Reeling from a sell-out 2011 debut, The Ciggie Run is launching a second bout of theatrical comedy with the likes of Brookside's Louis Emerick, seasoned comedian Micky Finn and prolific character actor Ozzie Yue in the spotlight. The theatre dishes out cultural offerings of comedy, concerts, and dance, alongside children's shows and an annual pantomime. Sitting a simple walk from St. Helens Central railway station, the theatre is snuggled in the historical heart of town, and easy to reach for travelling drama hunters.
The show follows three Scouse geezers and their recession busting adventures, covering continental gallivanting, run-ins with gangsters, general debauchery, and plenty of ensuing chuckles. As a first full-length venture for up-and-coming Liverpudlian playwright John Evans, the show promises silly giggles and light-hearted laughs, as well as underlying dealings with a smoky financial climate.
Key information:
• Valid for 8 and 9 February performance
• Booking required, collect tickets by taking voucher to box office
• Box office opens 6.30pm, show starts 7.30pm
• Finishes approx. 10pm
• Close to St Helens Central railway station
• Show not suitable for under 16s
The Ciggie Run has received encouraging previews from regional and online press.
Hilarious Scouse comedy.
– St Helens Star, Jan 2012
The Ciggie Run promises to have audiences laughing out loud once more with its hilarious mix of hysterical characters who get themselves into the extraordinary situations.

The Chief of Defence Forces Gen Julius Karangi has said the clout of the KDF will not be diminished under the African Union Mission in Somalia command to fight Al-Shabaab group.
Karangi told MPs that besides taking charge of the areas already liberated from the al-Shabaab, the KDF will dispatch 16 officers to be part of the 85 officers at Amisom command centre in Mogadishu.
He told the Parliamentary Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations that is chaired by Wajir West MP Adan Keynan that KDF will be in charge of Amisom intelligence besides handling the spokesman's portfolio. "The clout of the KDF will not be diminished. Amisom mandate is not peace keeping. There is no peace to keep in Somalia. The Amisom mandate is peace enforcement which is what we set out to do when we entered Somalia in October," Karangi told the committee on Monday.
He said Amisom will be commanded by Ugandan general who will be deputised by two officers-a Kenyan and Burundian. Karangi also announced that each of the 4,500 KDF soldiers serving in the mission will be receiving an allowance of Sh84,000 per month paid by the United Nations through Amisom, adding that cost of the operations of the military hardware being used by KDF in Somalia will also be met by Amisom.
He, however, explained that under the UN resolution 2036 (2012), compensation for fuel for navy ships and expenses related to wear and tear for the vessels were not catered for. He said Kenya was following up the issue to ensure that they are included. The UN Security Council recently approved a request by African Union that Amisom's troop be strengthened from 12,000 to a maximum of 17,731. It also approved Kenya to join Amisom.

Davis credits comic books for helping him overcome a reading disability. "I was a terrible student. My parents couldn't get me to read the back of a cereal box, much less my schoolbooks. But once I discovered comics I realized it was a gateway too much, much more. I look at our biography comics in a similar light.

Whitney Houston's Final Autopsy: Possible Overdose on Narcotics, Pills, and Alcohol
Nearly two months after the shocking death of music legend Whitney Houston, the final autopsy report confirms what fans feared most: the 48-year-old singer was once again abusing illegal substances.
Although the L.A. coroner lists "accidental drowning" as the official cause of death, it also reports that Whitney, who suffered from a degenerative heart condition, may have overdosed on a "narcotic substance, prescription medications, over the counter medications, and alcohol."
On the evening of February 11, the Grammy-winner was found lying face-down in her bathtub at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. While there were no signs of foul play, investigators did find a spoon with a "crystal-like" substance on it and traces of a "white powdery substance" on a mirror inside one of the drawers.
In addition to cocaine, officials found Xanax, Flexeril, and Benadryl in the singer's system.
According to TMZ, Whitney's mother Cissy is "devastated" and "inconsolable" over the report, fearing that her daughter will remembered not as the beautiful, talented, and loving woman and mother she was, but as a drug addict.
"This is the type of thing people should remember Whitney for," she said, referencing her National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl.

Gerard has a horticultural background and has always had a greenfingered interest in growing things. A stint as a flower auctioneeer also gave him a feel for the other side of the fence. Gerard takes responsibility for the commercial side of the operation and, in particular, the sourcing, ordering and stocktake of all seed. He enjoys walking the many trails through the Kaimais with friends and, of course, time spent in the garden to clear the cobwebs after a busy week indoors.Barbara has a BA degree and a secondary teaching qualification. Having worked in that industry part time as she raised three daughters and ran the flower business with Gerard, she doesn't envy the role of teachers today. Thrown in at the deep end at the beginning of their time with Kings Seeds, she has learnt it all from scratch and is now responsible for the financial and administrative side of the business. She enjoys walking with CEO Max (pictured here), every day if at all possible, with a longer jaunt into the Kaimais at weekends. Cycling is a more recent interest and a nice change from walking.
Deb joined the team in September 2007 and after filling thousands of packets of seeds over many years, she has made the move to the Administration side of our operation. She forms part of the team that picks, invoices and packs your home gardener and commercial orders. She treasures the time spent with her family outdoors, also patch-working and pottering in the garden.
Since August 2008, Karen has spent a lot of her time helping with your queries on the phone, after moving to the district in search of a sunny lifestyle. She has been inspired to try growing lots in her garden but her creative skills are more often spent cooking the garden produce and dabbling in mosaics for the garden.
Camilla has been with Kings Seeds since September 2002. She lives locally and really enjoys the variety she gets working at Kings. Camilla enjoys walking and is keen to take up the challenge of any walking events offered in the Tauranga region. She completed her Certificate in Business with the Open Polytechnic in 2011.
Jude moved from Lower Hutt to a lifestyle block in Katikati with husband, Ash, and two teenage children. They are loving the country life. Having a number of pets and other animals, cooking and walking are amongst her interests and working at Kings Seeds complements her love of gardening. She looks forward to the weekly game of golf and, due to the varied nature of her job at Kings, looks forward to going to work.
Billie-Jo joined the Production team in March 2014, is married to Mike and has two lovely boys. Working at Kings Seeds has sparked a new interest in growing vegetables for her family. She really enjoys working in such a friendly environment. She loves fishing in the harbour and playing golf.
Carmen joined Kings Seeds in early March 2014 joining the Production team. Over the years she has grown a variety of different Kings Seeds vegetables with the three children and husband James on their Kauri Point property. Winter weekends are spent following the girls' netball and in the summer, swimming at beautiful Waihi Beach or nearby rivers.

Rodong Sinmun on DPRK's Will to Contribute to Advance of Global Independence
|Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- The DPRK government and people will strive hard to implement the idea of independence, peace and friendship this year in order to further develop the relations with different countries of the world and thus make a positive contribution to the advance of global independence.
Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a bylined article.
The DPRK does not allow in the least anyone to infringe upon its sovereignty, interfere in its internal affairs and dominate and control it. It will also never allow any act of infringing upon the sovereignty of other countries, the article says, and goes on:
The DPRK respects the sovereignty of other countries and fully supports the peoples of all the countries in their just cause of struggle against the imperialists' domination and subjugation.
There is neither class nor stratum in the DPRK that are interested in a war or seek to ignite a war as it is the country where the popular masses have become a master of the state and the society and everything serves the people.
The DPRK makes utmost efforts for boosting the country's defence capability, regarding Songun as a key link in the chain efforts to create a favorable environment for defending peace and sovereignty. This is to more dynamically push forward the building of a thriving nation in a peaceful environment free from war.
The DPRK will make positive efforts to check and frustrate the imperialists' offensive to put pressure upon the DPRK, achieve peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and preserve peace and security of Asia and in the rest of the world in solidarity with all peace-loving forces of the world.
It is an invariable stand of the DPRK to improve and normalize relations even with those countries that had been in hostile relationship with the DPRK in the past if they respect it.
As a member of the international community, the DPRK will make every possible effort to establish fair international relations and international order.

|Darren Evans RB Scouting Report
|Ht: 6'0″
Wt: 227
|Great overall size. Plays faster than his timed speed. Quick feet; capable of making people miss. Big enough to break some tackles. Extremely productive college running back when healthy.
|Missed entire 2009 season with a torn ACL. Lacks elite breakaway speed. Some experience as a receiver, but does not have very reliable hands.
|Evans was dominant as a freshman in 2008, rushing for over 1,200 yards but his career was derailed when he missed the entire 2009 season. Upon returning in 2010 he was forced to split carries with Ryan Williams. While teams may be concerned with his knee, he looked very good in limited playing time in 2010 and should only improve as his knee continues to get closer to 100%. He could be a valuable late-round pick.
Darren Evans scouting report
Virginia Tech RBs Ryan Williams, Darren Evans considering jump to NFL
According to the Washington Post, Virginia Tech running backs Ryan Williams and Darren Evans have filed their paperwork to be evaluated by the NFL.
Hokies running backs coach Bily Hite said "just my gut feeling, I don't think both of them will come back."
Williams, a redshirt sophomore, entered the season with a much higher NFL evaluation than Evans. He had a breakout freshman season in 2009 stepping in for the injured Evans. However, he failed to build upon his success in 2010. He missed three games with a hamstring injury and was mostly ineffective even when healthy. Most notably, he was held to just 40 yards on 20 carries against Boise State in the season opener.
Darren Evans, on the other hand, bounced back after sitting out the 2009 season with a torn ACL. His size (6'0″, 220 lbs) and explosiveness makes him an intriguing prospect. He gradually improved through out season, and finished the year with an average of 5.9 yards per carry.
If I had to guess, I would say Evans will enter the draft while Williams will return to school. The 2010 season really couldn't have gone worse for Williams, while it couldn't have gone much better for Evans. If Evans returned to school, he would run the risk of losing carries to Williams and seeing his stock fall.
Williams, however, has two more years of eligibility remaining. Even if he struggles again in 2011, he could return for 2012.
If Evans enters the draft, I would expect him to come off the board in the 3rd or 4th round – with his medical examination playing a key role in his stock. Williams would probably fall into the same range, but has a chance to raise his stock much higher if he returns to school.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2013
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Upcoding schemes, kickbacks, and other types of fraud against government healthcare programs are rampant. Because of their misuse of taxpayer-funded Medicare funds, the United States takes these situations very seriously. Multi-million dollar settlements are the norm, and rewards for whistleblowers are extremely lucrative."
This can be seen in a recent case involving the United States and Trans1, a medical device manufacturer accused of submitting false claims to Medicare. According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Trans1 agreed to pay $6 million to settle False Claims Act allegations. According to the lawsuit, Trans1 knowingly caused physicians to submit Medicare claims with incorrect and more serious diagnoses and procedure codes for use of their AxiaLIF System, an non-invasion alternative to spine fusion. Because of this, health care providers allegedly received greater reimbursement from Medicare than they were entitled. Additionally, Trans1 was also accused of allegedly providing kickbacks through illegal remuneration to physicians for participating in programs and meetings designed to encourage them to use Trans1 products. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
In this case, the whistleblower received a $1,020,000 reward for their information.
Insiders with proof of these types of Medicare fraud in excess of $1 million are encouraged to contact the Corporate Whistleblower Center at 866-714-6466 for more information about reward programs. Provided the proof is adequate, the group will help the whistleblower package their information and refer them to leading whistleblower attorneys in the country. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center:
Any type of insider or employee who possesses significant proof of their employer or a government contractor defrauding the federal government is encouraged to contact to Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or via their web site at http://CorporateWhistleBlowerCenter.Com.

[See below for a gallery of Brenda's photos as well as those by DavidsonNews.net's other photographers and friends.]
A stop at the DCPC Congregation House to view the beautiful crafts found Frank Worden holding down a spot on the aptly named "Husband's Bench" just outside the shopping area. Happy to have found a place to rest for a few minutes while in charge of his wife's red tote, he said he had learned patience in 53 years of marriage to Muriel. The Wordens moved to Cornelius 11 years ago and love the area enough to consider a future move possibly to The Pines. We caught Frank's happy smile on the first evening of Christmas in Davidson.
What would our village be without Village Inn owner Gordon Clark sporting his khaki Bermuda shorts and top hat while he pedals people around Davidson? One of his first customers last Thursday was Becky McIntyre of Mooresville and her daughter, Bailey (6). Becky had always wanted a ride in Gordon's pedicab and could not stop beaming at this chance to see our town "up close and personal" with her daughter. (See photo in the photo gallery below.)
Stopping by Jane Ellithorpe's art display on the Village Green, we found daughter, Jennifer Ellithorpe of Charlotte, who had made the trip to Davidson to help with the sale of Poplets to benefit the American Heart Association. Jennifer had the idea of these handmade bracelets called Poplets and made them with the help of her godchildren, twins Seriann and Samara Paquette of Mooresville. These 11year old girls are the daughters of Jenny and Dave Paquette. Jenny and Jennifer were best friends while students at East Carolina University and see one another often.
The twins were having a wonderful time at Christmas in Davidson as well as raising money for a good cause since one of the girls has needed heart surgery. Thanks to Jennifer for her support with this creative idea.
Meet Nate Lima, son of Rich and Heather Lima, who was visiting Christmas in Davidson for the first time. The family moved to River Run just two months ago and wanted to see what was going on in town bringing so many people to Main Street. Stopping at the front lawn of The Needlecraft Center, Nate sat patiently while Amy Harris, a face painter whose card reads "The Pixie Chicks," transformed the face of this four year old into Spiderman! What a great combination with Batman on his toboggan and Spidey on his face. We welcome the Lima family to Davidson!
So glad to have the Doggie Fashion Show back on the library stage. An interesting group of dogs strolled one by one to the microphone to be interviewed by our local veterinarian, Dick Hay. The very first entry, weighing probably less than ten pounds, and named "Bear," begged for an interview with DavidsonNews.net.
It turns out that this tiny bundle of joy came from the Iredell County Animal Shelter and is classified as a "Morkiepoo." That's right, part Maltese, part Yorkie and part Poodle. Hmmm…is the AKC paying attention? Bear has been a member of the Daugherty household in Davidson for four months. Logan Daugherty (11) had a bright green holiday outfit for Bear and was thrilled to be showing him in his very first fashion show. Mom Tabetha and Dad Phillip are just as delighted to have this charming Morkiepoo for a pet.
(Check back on our Pets & Animals page on Tuesday for a photo gallery from the Doggie Fashion Show.)
The Village Store was full of shoppers each evening during Christmas in Davidson. A perfect Kodak moment came when we found three young women from Cornelius trying out a Christmas first called "Santa on a Stick." Shelly Divito, Carly Pasell and Janeen Hicks came to town to attend the Davidson Community Player's holiday production and decided to stroll Main Street following the show. They had never been to Christmas in Davidson and were finding lots to do as they browsed the shops and food booths.
Author Bill Turner of Cornelius was signing his book at Main Street Books on Friday evening. He graduated from Furman some years ago with journalism major and always wanted to publish a book. Annually he told a tale to his children and grandchildren about a "Christmas that Almost Wasn't" and at their urging, contacted Cathy Warren Brophy about possible publication of this family story.
The paperback book is now a reality through Cathy Warren Publishing and illustrated by Jeanne Kendall. First published in 2009, it is available now for $10.95 at Main Street Books. This is Bill's first book and a charming Christmas story. Asked how he felt about the process of getting his story into print, he replied without hesitation that it was a "grand experience."
Residents of The Pines had a holiday celebration on Friday evening that has become a tradition. Eleven years ago Chuck Lineberry organized the residents of Evergreen Court (eight cottages on a cul-de-sac at The Pines) to get out strings and strings and strings of lights to decorate the outdoor landscaping of the court. This year on Dec. 2 at 7:15 p.m., more than 70 residents and staff gathered for a Christmas program: a welcome by Chuck Lineberry, a reading from the Bible by John Monahan, and a prayer by Whit Whitney before the signal was given to "light up" the court."
Refreshments of fruitcake and hot, spirited libations were offered while music was provided by Jean Berg and Annette Kreider on the keyboard as well as Bettie Casey on her concertina. The annual contest was won by Billie Thomason (guessing closest to the number of lights – 8200) with a gift of a string of holiday lights. How appropriate since this "young lady" turned 100 years old the next day! Happy Birthday, Billie.

GOVERNMENT has released K169 billion to Omnia Small-Scale Limited and Nyiombo Investment Limited for distribution of inputs to farmers countrywide.
On Tuesday, the Government released K47 billion towards the payment of a debt owed to the two firms.
The debt was in respect of the supply of basal and top dressing fertiliser to Government, which was distributed to farmers around the country.
Agriculture and Livestock Permanent Secretary Siazongo Siakalenge, who witnessed the distribution of 505 packs of farming inputs in Chongwe yesterday, said the Government had paid towards the supply of inputs to ensure that farmers were not inconvenienced.
He said the supply of inputs would continue to enable the country to record a bumper harvest this farming season.
"It is our hope as Government that the country should record a bumper harvest this season, so DACO (District Agricultural Coordinator) please ensure that inputs are distributed to the cooperatives on time," he said.
Mr Siakalenge said the input distribution under the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) would be completed soon.
He assured farmers that they would get the D Compound and Urea fertiliser on time as both Omnia and Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ) had the supplies.
He instructed DACOs to ensure that distribution of the inputs to farmers in their respective districts was done on time.
Mr Siakalenge thanked Omnia for partnering with Government in helping to promote the agriculture sector through this initiative.
Chongwe DACO Charles Simulunda said the distribution programme was on course and that farmers had not been inconvenienced in any way.
He said the peak for distribution of inputs usually started around this time.
Mr Simulunda said Chongwe District had 38,000 registered farmers and 215 cooperatives. About 23,925 farmers would benefit from the programme.
Mr Simulunda said the farmers would receive input packs at a total cost of K280, 000 and that each pack contained two by 50kg bags of D Compound, two by 50kg bags of Urea and one 10kg bag of maize seed.
Omnia general manager Vincent Mkuyamba said the company would comply with the contract agreement with Government.
He said the company had so far distributed about 90 per cent of the inputs in Southern, Eastern and Lusaka provinces where it was engaged.
"I can confirm that Government has released 25 per cent payment of the total contract value which is over K600 billion to Nyiombo Investment and Omnia," he said.
Chongwe District Cooperative Union chairperson, Prisca Mwansa said the cooperatives were happy with Government's support of the farmers through the FISP.

Unexpected splits in horse slaughter debateThe Navajo Nation has voiced support for horse slaughter, to the dismay of opponents.
By: Fernando Santos, New York Times News Service
It seemed at first like a logical alliance for boldface names in the interconnected worlds of Hollywood and politics. Bill Richardson, a former governor of New Mexico, and the actor Robert Redford, a staunch conservationist, joined animal rights groups in a federal lawsuit to block the revival of horse slaughter in the United States, proclaiming that they were "standing with Native American leaders," to whom horse slaughter "constitutes a violation of tribal cultural values."
Soon, though, the two men, who recently started a foundation to protect New Mexico's wildlife, found themselves on a collision course with the Navajo Nation, the country's largest federally recognized tribe, whose president released a letter to Congress on Aug. 2 asserting his support for horse slaughtering.
Free-roaming horses cost the Navajos $200,000 a year in damage to property and range, says Ben Shelly, the Navajo president. There is a gap between reality and romance when, he says, "outsiders" like Redford interpret the struggles of American Indians.
"Maybe Robert Redford can come and see what he can do help us out," Shelly says. "I'm ready to go in the direction to keep the horses alive and give them to somebody else, but right now the best alternative is having some sort of slaughter facility to come and do it."
The horses, tens of thousands of them, are at the center of a passionate, politicized dispute playing out in court, in Congress and even within tribes across the West about whether federal authorities should sanction their slaughtering to thin the herds. The practice has never been banned, but it stopped when money for inspections was cut from the federal budget.
In Navajo territory, parched by years of unrelenting drought and beset by poverty, one feral horse consumes 5 gallons of water and 18 pounds of forage a day — sometimes the water and food a family had bought for itself and its cattle.
According to the latest estimates, there are 75,000 feral and wild horses in the nation, and the numbers are growing, Shelly says. They have no owners, and many of them are believed to be native to the West. The tribes say they must find an efficient way of reducing the population. Although it is common to shoot old and frail horses — and more merciful than a ride to the slaughterhouse — there are too many of them to be dealt with, and there is some money in rounding them up and selling them at auction.
Richardson acknowledges the conflict, which has sown divisions even among members of the same tribe. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include tribesmen such as Paul Crane Tohlakai, a Navajo, and David Bald Eagle, the chief of the Minikoju Band of the Cheyenne River Tribe of Lakota Indians. In impassioned tones, they spoke of American Indians' special relationship with horses, "the magnificent four-legged" animal "who has a part in our creation stories," as Tohlakai put it.
"Institutionally, there have to be some issues that have to be dealt with, and that's why the ultimate solution is to find a natural habitat, or a series of natural habitats, and adoption for the horses," Richardson says, responding to the claims by the Navajos' president.
Horse slaughter in the US
The U.S. has never fostered a market for horse meat, a dietary staple in places such as Belgium, China and Kazakhstan. It does have a history of horse slaughtering, though; at one point there were more than 10 such slaughterhouses in the country. The last three, one in Illinois and two in Texas, closed in 2007, after Congress banned the use of federal money for salaries for personnel whose job was to inspect the horses and the facilities where they would be slaughtered. (One thing inspectors look for is evidence of drug use on the horses, not uncommon among those once used for racing.)
The language that would have continued the lack of funding for inspections did not make it into the U.S. Department of Agriculture's appropriations bill approved for the 2012 fiscal year, which did not change for the current fiscal year.
Valley Meat, based in Roswell, N.M., sued in October, accusing USDA of thwarting its efforts to open a horse slaughter plant even after the facility had met all the necessary requirements. acquiesced, eventually granting the company its permits.
The plant was to open Aug. 8. On Aug. 2, however, Redford, Richardson and the animal rights groups scored a legal victory when a judge in Albuquerque issued a restraining order halting inspections of horse slaughter plants for 30 days.

Complete Streets: Tools to Move from Idea to Practice
On Tuesday, November 13th, the American Planning Association held a discussion "Complete Streets: Tools to Move from Idea to Practice." Two speakers from Chicago's community of transportation experts, Stefanie Seskin, deputy director of the National Complete Streets Coalition, and M. Paul Lippens, senior planner with Active Transportation Alliance, gave presentations.
In a post-recession world, cash-strapped governments of all kinds have been forced to reevaluate the kind and scope of projects they undertake. Seskin wove together an assemblage of policy prescriptions for local, regional, and state governments looking for a greater return on their investments.
She claims that the demand is high for projects that add value to a community, that complete streets are a way for governments to meet these demands as well as the changing cultural, political, and practical expectations of streets. Politicians, policymakers, and engineers are beginning to realize that we "can't build our way out of transportation problems" anymore. And at a time when fewer big infrastructure projects are moving forward, complete streets initiatives can be be implemented on small-scale, with rehabilitation and maintenance projects already slated to be done.
Seskin stressed that change begins at the policy level, because much policy actually inhibits the goals of complete streets. A city will not allocate two feet of a road for a bicycle lane if it's illegal to do so. Effectual policy must come first. Additionally, Seskin argued that at the heart of any successful policy must include all users and all modes. That is to say, the vision of the region/city/town must be communicated to all stakeholders, not just the engineers. All stakeholders should have a say in the development of a project. Wrapping up her speech, Seskin suggested that every new policy come complete with performance measures, allowing for transparency for those community members and stakeholders to know and deserve to know how their invest is doing.
In the second part of the discussion, M. Paul Lippens laid out his 10 Themes for Complete Streets. Stressing the need for a common language to simplify complex ideas in the area of street planning, Lippens echoed the CNU policy of re-adopting a standard street typology (for boulevards, avenues, streets, etc.), each with standard measure and characteristics. Couple this with reassessing the mode hierarchy of a street, where "vehicle flow" is not the singular directive for street design, and one can grasp the essence of Lippens speech.
Lippens stressed Seskin and the Complete Street Coalitions' goal of safety, wherein the roadway is designed to make drivers drive safer and this design is linked to the street typology (e.g. target speed of 30 mph on boulevards and 25 mph avenues). He brought up Chicago's trend since the mid-2000s of a decrease in AVMT (annual vehicle miles traveled). A promising trend if it means more transit and less traffic, Lippens pointed to the need for engineers and governments to plan traffic, not "plan for traffic." This method of planning will preempt the positive feedback loop of highways creating more highways and instead manage all street typologies efficiently, new and old. Doing so will decrease AVMT even more.
Seskin and Lippens informed the crowd that the demand for complete streets is growing exponentially, up to 400 projects today from only 80 a short time ago. The biggest obstacle tends to be money as everyone in every aspect of life is trying to get the most for their dollar. The real benefit though, Lippens argues, is that we are all speaking the same language: complete streets do add value, are cost effective, and can save us all money.
CNU has always championed development that add value to the area in which its constructed, as outlined in the ITE/CNU manual Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach. Recently, CNU received a grant from the The Chicago Community Trust to help launch our Design Walkable Urban Thoroughfares for the Chicago Region project. The project will bring together architects, planners, and public officials in the Chicagoland area to implement strategies that will add value to the area, through multimodal transportation options and much of the same ideas behind the complete streets objective.

A new study of 521 people with newly diagnosed Alzheimer disease found that the median survival period was 4.2 years for men and 5.7 years for women (Article, p. 501), which is about half as long as people of similar age in the U.S. population would survive. The study found that the severity of cognitive impairment was strongly associated with decreased survival. Walking disturbances, falling, congestive heart failure and diabetes were also associated with decreased survival. An editorial writer says that the diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer disease is a sentinel event, like a diagnosis of any ultimately fatal, chronic disease such as metastatic cancer. Realistic estimates of life expectancy can help patients, physicians and caregivers formulate plans for palliative and end-of-life care.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening and counseling for alcohol misuse in adults but not adolescents. The Task Force found good evidence that screening for misuse of alcohol, and behavioral counseling to reduce alcohol misuse, is effective in adults, including pregnant women (Clinical Guidelines, p. 554). The USPSTF did not evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to reduce alcohol dependence because the benefits of these interventions are well established.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against routinely screening adults at low risk for CHD events to detect the presence of severe coronary artery stenosis or to predict coronary heart disease. This recommendation applies to screening with resting electrocardiography, exercise treadmill test, or electron-beam computerized tomography scanning for coronary calcium.

Lagos — The management of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has mandated the study of entrepreneurship as well as Information and Communication Technology courses for all its students.
The institution's Rector, Dr. Margaret Ladipo disclosed this while speaking at the 2012/2013 matriculation ceremony held in the school.
According to the rector, the study of entrepreneurial courses is geared towards making the students self-reliant after graduation, while the study of ICT is meant to ensure students' competency in the use of computer and other ICT tools.
Dr Ladipo said: "The College has some compulsory courses which must be taken by all students throughout their stay in the college. One of these is entrepreneurial studies which trains you from your first day in school on how to be self-reliant.
"It is expected that by the time you graduate, you would have acquired the necessary skills to be an entrepreneur and an employer of labour rather than another job seeker. One other compulsory course is Information and Communication Technology (ICT) studies which enables you to be proficient in the use of computer and other ICT tools."

Sigma DP2 now available in the UK
Last September, Sigma announced its DP2 digi compact camera. As Pocket-lint reported at the time, it has a 24.2mm f/2.8 lens, True II image processing engine, and records in RAW as well as JPEG format.
Sigma's claim for the new compact is that it is capable of taking "SLR quality images".
UK photography fans haven't been able to get their hands on it, to date. That's about to change, with Sigma announcing that the DP2 will shortly be arriving in British shops, carrying a not-insubstantial price tag of £600.
Two new accessories will also be available - the VF-21 Viewfinder, for £115, and the HA-21 Hood adapter for £20.

LinkShare, one of the world's most recognized names in affiliate marketing program management, has just announced their Golden Link Award Finalists for 2012 and we're pleased to have been short listed for the Innovative Publisher of the Year award!
VigLink is not your average publisher — we are partnered with thousands of forums, blogs, social discovery sites and editorial sites focused on everything from coin collecting to Volkswagon cars. It provides us with a unique opportunity to help a network's merchants reach highly-targeted audiences that it can be difficult to market to via traditional affiliate marketers.
For those interested, below is a little bit more detail on how we partnered more deeply with LinkShare and our innovative approach to increasing revenue for their merchant partners.
Our objective with LinkShare over the past 12 months has been two-fold:
Our strategy centered heavily around recruiting a very specific type of publisher, one that wasn't already working with LinkShare, but could still be a value add to the network.
Publishers were typically non-affiliates, whose sites were focused on a niche topic and whose site format was either a blog or forum, rather than a traditional affiliate site. The long-tail strategy was implemented via the customer success, marketing, and business development teams at VigLink.
The results have been great so far: VigLink is on track to drive a 240% increase in the revenue we generate for LinkShare this year versus last year!
We can't wait for the awards ceremony on June 26, 2012 in New York City to see who wins. Our CEO, Oliver Roup, along with our merchant relationship manager, Mika Uehara will be on hand to root on the other finalists in-person at the luncheon (and are looking forward to seeing and catching up with some of you in New York!).

Email #2: Step 4 Begins
Date: June 23, 2014
Sent To: All Entering 1L Students
REMINDER – Be sure to read the following and take action before July 9, 2014.
Key Items in this email:
- Take action on your ID number and PIN before July 9, 2014
- Make sure you have a Harvard University ID number
- Create/Obtain a Harvard University PIN (different than the My HLS Financial Aid PIN)
- Health Insurance Waiver deadline is July 31, 2014
Greetings from HLS Student Financial Services. In addition to the awarding and administering of financial aid to all interested and eligible students, HLS Student Financial Services is charged with the responsibility of monitoring student online billing accounts for all HLS students (regardless of whether or not a student is receiving financial aid). We are responsible for holding students accountable to their financial obligations to Harvard University and, as such, we have the following important billing information to bring to your attention.
Hopefully by now you have received an email from the HLS Admissions Office providing you with your Harvard University ID Number. (If not, you should send an email to email@example.com to find out why you have not received your Harvard ID). With your Harvard ID in hand, we would like to direct you to Step 4 on our website. This page gives an introduction to the Harvard billing system and while labeled Step 4 of the HLS Financial Aid Application Process, it is relevant for all HLS students even those not applying for financial aid.
The first and most critical thing that you need to do at this time is follow the links on this web page to obtain a Harvard University PIN. Once you complete the PIN registration process using your Harvard ID, a University PIN will be generated and automatically emailed to your official HLS email account. The combination of your Harvard ID and University PIN will allow you access to your billing account on Harvard University's Central Student Billing System in July once your account is set up for the 2014-15 academic year. Harvard does not send paper bills to students. Instead, you will receive monthly emails to your official HLS email account asking you to login and view your E-bill online. All students must satisfy their fall 2014 billed expenses either by payment or by securing sufficient financial aid in order to gain financial clearance for fall registration. This is why it is critical that you create your University PIN prior to the July E-bill, which is the first E-bill for 2014-2015. You should receive email notification of the July E-bill on July 9th and you must secure sufficient financial aid or pay this bill in full by August 1, 2014.
After you obtain your PIN be sure to read over all of the information provided throughout Step 4. There you will find answers to most of the common questions students have about Harvard's Billing System and about the process for obtaining financial clearance for 2014 Fall Registration.
In addition to tuition, all students must pay a University Health Services Fee of $992/year or $461/semester. This fee is mandatory and cannot be waived except in very limited cases, as described at the bottom of this page on the HUHS website. However, you do have the option of waiving the Student Health Insurance Plan which $2366/year or $1183/semester if you have comparable coverage under another insurance plan. You can determine whether you have enough health insurance coverage to qualify for waiver of the Student Health Insurance Plan on the Harvard University Student Health Program web site (http://hushp.harvard.edu/waive). If your health insurance qualifies for the waiver, you can complete the waiver form online. Note that the deadlines for waiving this fee are July 31 for the Fall term and January 31 for the Spring term.
As always, please feel free to contact us if you need more personalized assistance. Thank you for your attention to this important information. Enjoy the remainder of your summer!
Email #3: Financial Aid and Billing – Action Items
Date: July 9, 2014
Sent to: All Entering Students
Below is information regarding several important processes that will take place over the next few weeks:
1. Understanding Your Student eBill
2. Cash Advance on credits in excess of your eBill charges
3. Direct Deposit of your Cash Advance
4. Option of applying for an additional loan for the purpose of purchasing a computer.
1. Today you will receive your first student eBill. Watch this helpful video: http://www.law.harvard.edu/media/d/2014/06/30/sfs.mp4 to help you login and understand your first eBill and to learn more about important deadlines.
2. The Cash Advance process is one by which you automatically receive an eCheck for the credits that exceed your eBill charges. As an entering student you can expect to receive two separate Cash Advances to your U.S. bank account
a) eCheck #1 – Our office will release the fall portion of the $625 "Books and Supplies" student budget allowance (so that students can order books online if desired) on August 18 if all of the following are true:
- You have financial aid credits that exceed your eBill charges of $625 or greater.
- You have signed up for Direct Deposit through your eBill by August 15, 2014 (see #3 of this email)
b) eCheck #2 – Any remaining credit on your account will be released August 29 if all of the following are true:
- You have financial aid credits that exceed your eBill charges
- You have signed up for Direct Deposit through your eBill by August 15, 2014 (see #3 of this email)
- You have applied for all of your loans (including the required base loan for HLS grant recipients) by August 1, 2014
- You have completed the registration process by August 26, 2014 and have been cleared by the HLS Admissions Office
Get more detailed information about the Cash Advance process.
3. GO GREEN and GET GREEN!! Direct deposit is available for the delivery of your Fall Cash Advance. It's the fastest way to get the credit from your eBill to your U.S. bank account. It's easy to sign up and the most secure way to receive your credit. The enrollment process for direct deposit is now available by logging into your student eBill and choosing Direct Deposit from the left menu. Please note, you need to have a U.S. bank account, not necessarily a local bank account. We recommend setting up direct deposit with whatever bank you currently have an account. Once you are settled in the Cambridge area you can decide if you want to use a local bank or not. Changing your enrollment on line is simple and always an option.
4. Each student is eligible for a one-time LIPP-eligible budget increase of up to $2,000 to purchase a computer and related accessories. You must apply for an additional supplemental loan to cover this cost and submit specific documentation regarding the purchase. All purchases must be made in your name. Someone else cannot purchase the computer system for you. Any computer purchased prior to July 1st of the summer before you enter HLS cannot be considered an "education-related" expense, therefore, we cannot help you finance it. For more detailed information and submission deadlines dates go to Computer Reimbursement and Cash Advance Process page.
I encourage you to use the links to sign up for direct deposit today and make sure you meet all of the qualifications for the Cash Advances as soon as possible. All of us here hope you continue to have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you in the weeks ahead.

The 10th Avenue Theatre and Arts Centre was established in 2007. With the help of Sledgehammer Theater and Eveoke Dance Company the first floor was transformed into a viable entertainment venue. The old sloped floor of the building's sanctuary was changed to a level floor suitable for a wide variety of theatrical and dance productions. A versatile lighting grid was hung. All the necessary theatrical equipment was loaded in and the arts were thriving at 930 10th Avenue.
From the staged productions in the 1st floor theatre all the way up to the artistic endeavors of the resident artists on the 3rd floor, the 10th Avenue Theatre and Arts Centre strives to support the arts in San Diego. The Centre is proud to be an affordable, vibrant haven for artists to develop, create, and showcase their masterpieces. The 10th is the artistic hub of the East Village and we welcome artists and their patrons to join us in the sharing of art.

About to do my voice over work for new Saints Row video game. #showbizpic.twitter.com/XWZRbX3hQx— Jay Mohr (@jaymohr37) December 18, 2013
Not too much of a surprise given the popularity of the series. I'm curious to see where the series will go after SRIV's ending. I believe they had stated that the direction of the series would be changed after SRIV.
My favorite's still SR2 because of its fantastic balance between silliness and emotionally resonant story moments that were actually sincere.
