EAST STROUDSBURG — The first group to go through a program at East Stroudsburg University that helps people with disabilities will be recognized for their accomplishments at the end of the school year.
The first students to go through the three-year program will finish in May.
The university is trying to decide how best to recognize their achievement.
Bridget Nealon is a Special Education major at ESU.
She is a strong supporter of the students involved in the Career and Independent Living and Learning Studies Program, also known as "CILLS".
"I think the program is really good," said Nealon.
The students involved in the three-year program have intellectual or other developmental disabilities. The program is designed to help them prepare for the working world.
"I know one student who has an internship at the gym so he does that. He works there, so it's kind of placing them in college setting so they can be like everyone else," said Nealon.
The first group to be part of "CILLS" will be completing the program this spring and will receive non-degree certificates.
The university wants to recognize that first class, but the question is how?
Especially since the students are not formally enrolled at East Stroudsburg University.
"I think that maybe they provide a section for them at graduation. They don't have to walk but they're there. They acknowledge them, announce their names or something. They can stand up and be proud for what they did," said Nealon.
No matter what, students want the "CILLS" group to get the recognition they believe they deserve for all their hard work for the past three years.
"I think it's a great opportunity for them, they definitely deserve it," said Shana Lordi, an ESU Junior.
"I think they should definitely be recognized at some sort of ceremony. I think that the program is very good. And they worked hard to get where they're at," said Nealon.
The Chair of the Special Education Department at East Stroudsburg University believes the students who are part of the "CILLS" program should be part of the commencement ceremony.
University leaders plan to discuss the issue next month.

CBS says soap opera star Jeanne Cooper has died. She was 84.
A network spokeswoman said Cooper's family told the network of her death. Her son Corbin Bernsen's Facebook and Twitter accounts also said Cooper had died.
Cooper played grande dame Katherine Chancellor on CBS' "The Young and the Restless" for nearly four decades.
Bernsen tweeted in April that his mother faced an "uphill battle" for an undisclosed illness. In subsequent days he wrote of her gradual improvement and said that she'd been taken off breathing equipment.
Cooper's role on "The Young and the Restless" earned her repeated Daytime Emmy Award nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008.

Perhaps the most infamous couple in the history of the United States, Bonnie and Clyde have become a part of American folklore, yet their true story--their family story--has remained elusive . . . until now.
Marie Barrow Scoma, Clyde Barrow's youngest sister, felt that no book, film, article, or video told the Barrow Gang story completely or accurately. Collaborating with Philip Steele to tell the true tale, she offered not only her personal insight and opinions, but also previously unpublished photographs and her mother's diary, which had never before been seen by anyone outside of the Barrow family.
The result is a revelatory reminiscence that sheds dramatic new light on Bonnie and Clyde's exploits.
Western writer Phillip W. Steele, past board member of the Arkansas History Commission, serves as president of the National Outlaw and Lawman History Association. A member of the Western Writers of America, he also is president and founder of the James Younger Gang. Steele's other books include Starr Tracks: Belle and Pearl Starr, The Last Cherokee Warriors, Civil War in the Ozarks, Ozark Tales and Superstitions, The Many Faces of Jesse James, Jesse and Frank James: The Family History, and Outlaws and Gunfighters of the Old West. All are published by Pelican.
As Marie Barrow Scoma neared the completion of this project, she died unexpectedly, at the age of 81. The Family Story of Bonnie and Clyde stands as her testament to separate fact from fiction.

I've been to olympos before, stayed in a different place but with a friends advice i stayed in Orange Pension which was absolutly great. The location is much better than others as its closer to beach. Staff was excellent, especially many thanks to Apo for great hospitality. The complex is nice. Rooms are between orange trees (they said oranges will be ready in 2 months so you can pick them from your rooms window and eat ) Food was delicious. Wine next to campfire with chillout music was great

A touching, subtle film that unravels slowly and delicately. The story of a woman who has just been released from 15 years in prison for killing her 6-year-old son…we don't know why or how. We don't even find out what crime she committed until more than a half-hour into the film. It's like a present that we unwrapped…savoring the gift inside so we keep the suspense high. Kristen Scott Thomas uses this slow, methodical storytelling to her advantage…creating one of the most complex, disturbed, misread and misunderstood characters in recent cinema. She does not push the character to be liked…or push the character to be absolved of sin. She lets the audience's opinion unfold slowly…just like the slowness of the film. A great movie!

From Staff Reports
When Woodland girls basketball coach Thomas McLaurin started the Lady Wolfpack program in 2007, he knew it would take three to four years before the team could start to reach its potential.
Looks like Woodland is right on schedule.
After a pair of close wins over the weekend -- a 37-32 win over Union Grove on Friday, and a 41-39 win at Stockbridge on Saturday -- the Lady Wolfpack (8-0, 3-0 Region 3A-AAAA) are the only undefeated girls basketball team left in the Southern Crescent.
"I think we are turning a corner," McLaurin said, "to take this to the promise that I foresaw when I first took this job."
Woodland's path from creation to now was predictably tough. The Lady Wolfpack went from 0-14 to 6-21 to 9-18 last season, and they're already one win away from matching that total.
"It's taken a minute for me to get a solid foundation with our program," McLaurin said. "I've got two excellent assistant coaches that come with experience, that come with high energy and with the determination to fulfill the dream that I had when I first took this job, in Kelli Poff and Ashley Maddox.
"I also know that the girls have finally bought into the attitude of winners win the last game. The last game is the championship game. So that's what they do. They find a way to win, they find a way to keep scrapping."
Indeed, Woodland found a way to win Friday night against Union Grove after squandering an 11-point halftime lead. Woodland even found a way to win despite having a significant height disadvantage with starting center Bendrea Willis out due to a family issue.
The Lady Wolfpack were out-rebounded, 33-14, but used their quickness to force Union Grove into making tough passes, which resulted in 23 turnovers.
McLaurin said Woodland has never lacked shooters. Sophomore Morgan Jones and junior Jasmine Strozier are oversized guards with three-point range. What was missing was a consistent intensity on defense.
"I've got shooters," McLaurin said, "but we really focus on defense."
McLaurin knows how to build a winner. He was the boys basketball coach at Austin Roads Middle from 1998-2004, helping to develop much of the talent that played on successful Stockbridge boys basketball teams.
When he looks at the talent he has at Woodland, he sees good things in store.
"I have a couple of jayvee players that are just as smart ... as some of these girls I have," McLaurin said. "So we're going to be doing good for the next couple of years."

The Alabama Department of Education is monitoring Selma's school district and has drafted a more than 80-page corrective plan after probing allegations of sexual misconduct and administrators pressuring teachers to change students' grades.
The Alabama Department of Education is monitoring Selma's school district and has drafted a more than 80-page corrective plan after probing allegations of sexual misconduct and administrators pressuring teachers to change students' grades.
Arriving at Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation in Indiana as assistant superintendent in July, 2012, after four years with the Indiana Department of Education, one of my first tasks was to develop a plan for our administrators to better comply with the state's new teacher evaluation law.
North Carolina's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is the 2013 recipient of the National School Boards Association's (NSBA) Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence.
My courses are demanding. I expect students to read and write daily, to meet online after school for concept and skills reviews, and to practice using skills that will help them in college and career. They view my academy and computer science courses as college-level, and want others to view them that way too. Unfortunately, the courses I teach aren't a part of the core curriculum. Instead, they're seen by many as electives and therefore expendable.
The state Department of Education has released the Pennsylvania School Performance Profile, with information on each individual public school, including charter, cyber-charter, and vocational-technical schools.
A new report from the Alabama Commission on Higher Education shows many college-bound high school graduates are still not prepared for the rigors of university mathematics or English. Of the 23,019 graduates in 2012 who enrolled in Alabama public colleges or universities, 33 percent tested into remedial math and/or English classes, according to the report.
For the first time, schools across Pennsylvania will not be judged with the federal Adequate Yearly Progress standards, but with a new system based on a 0-100 scale.
Effective Sept. 30, Pennsylvania schools will no longer be judged by adequate yearly progress, but instead will be judged by their new School Performance Profiles. On this new measure, state test results in science and writing are as important as reading and math. Under the old system, science and writing scores were released but did not count toward adequate yearly progress.
Schools across the state are still struggling to meet federal accountability targets on standardized tests, according to information released today by the Virginia Department of Education.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg; the schools chancellor, Dennis M. Walcott; and senior education officials took a victory lap of sorts on Monday, visiting 22 New York City public schools that ranked among the state's top 25 in reading and math exams given last spring.
The Obama administration's signature $4 billion Race to the Top initiative, designed to spur far-reaching education reforms across the country and raise student achievement, is largely a failure, an analysis concludes.
Victoria, Elizabeth, and Kate Wilson share more than just their DNA. The 9-year-old triplets have also all qualified to join Mensa, the exclusive high IQ society, after scoring within the top 2 percent on a designated IQ test. As they approach their next birthday, their parents are considering how to get them into the right education program.
Gov. Gary Herbert said he is negotiating with Senate President Wayne Niederhauser on legislation that would add more detail to the state of Utah's controversial new school grading system. He said without changes the grades offer little help to parents and educators looking to improve education.
Parents should care deeply about Utah's new school grading system, educators say, but not because it shows which schools are excelling and which schools are failing. Rather, it is proof that a decades-old movement to privatize America's public schools is making serious headway in Utah.
By a very narrow margin the St. Louis Public School District received a rating of "Fair" from the office of Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich Wednesday.

Dawn Baumgartner Vaughan: 'Swing low' and a bottled moment
I wonder if there's much to the notion of your life flashing before your eyes?
Not just the moments permanently planted there, like childbirth and weddings and graduations and even funerals, but all those other moments we wish we could bottle.
Religion is one of my beats here at the newspaper, you know, and I see worship in so many ways. I see God in so many ways lived through the lives of folks here in Durham. I see a lot of grief, too, as well as joy.
On Thursday night, there was a moment I wished I could bottle and save for later. It happened, as with many of life's impactful times, with music. I covered the 21st Annual Vigil Against Violence. You can read about it in last Friday's paper. What I didn't include in the story was a bottle-worthy moment for myself, and perhaps others who also attended.
It came after the Southern High School Chorus sang, after the reading of the names and the ringing of the bell. After the weight of the matter settled in. It was time for the people in the pews to sing. It's a song that children learn in Sunday school but isn't often chosen for a Sunday hymn. It's a song that, no matter what your vocal strength or desire, stirs something in you. It is about life and death. It is "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," the African American spiritual credited to "Uncle Wallace" Willis.
We stood. We sang. Tentative at first, with no choir or piano to lead us. Just the familiar words of the song.
"I looked over Jordan, and what did I see, coming for to carry me home?"
The church at the corner of East Main and Driver streets is in poverty-stricken Northeast Central Durham. The streets are pretty dark. A light in the sanctuary was out. The building is aged but sturdy. The wooden pews and floors creaked a little.
"A band of angels coming after me, coming for to carry me home."
I'm not a singer who belts out songs in public. I don't think the rest of the people there that night were, either.
"Sometimes I'm up, and sometimes I'm down, coming for to carry me home. But still my soul feels heavenly bound. Coming for to carry me home."
I can't remember when I learned this song. Maybe as a kid in Georgia. But when I sing it to myself I do it in a low, deep voice. In the car on the way home Thursday night, I belted it out. But in that church, covering that story, I was reserved. Inside my mind, I was trying to bottle that song – those creaks of the wood, those quiet voices that strengthened as they joined together, and that binding feeling of a shared moment.
"Swing low, sweet chariot. Coming for to carry me home."
A teenager played "Taps" on the trumpet at the end of the service. That's a whole other column.

I've been wrestling with how to respond to this, because it deserves a response-- only, responding to it, I fear, does violence to James and his project, which I most certainly don't want to do:
Part of the reticence on my part that Freddie takes for Helenism is an attempt at implementing a wisdom of due distance, in which the virtue of not closing the civilizing (and civilized) interdictory space between (and among) us is practiced not-too-reflectively. In that way it seeks to back off from the excesses, to take advantage of Dr. Ceaser's schema, of both conservative virtue-ism and postmodern conservative manner-ism in their most pompous or obsessive or prideful self-awareness. It seeks, then, too, to avoid the complementary despair or envy that comes from excessive self-awareness of either (and any!) kind. The self, alone, is too empty for either to truly nourish the soul, no matter how hard we think about it or how deeply we strain to feel about it. And, finally, it seeks to privilege the secret, hidden, private, domestic site of virtue.I lack the wisdom or erudition to say what I think about this and not take conversation exactly where James doesn't want it to go.
The great question, for the existentialist, is where my duty to create the meaning of man through my action abuts the duty of my neighbor. Where does public good end and private virtue begin, and where does my terrible right to self-government encroach on the right of the other? This is what Scott Payne is trying to get at, what my commenters are unsatisfied with my answers to. This is why Daru only leads his prisoner to the edge of the mountain. Daru's abdication is necessary for his prisoner's acceptance, and yet it's bad faith, all the same. And it kills him.
I've felt a little lately like this is a vulgar enterprise, and I wonder if there's any sense in which I can undertake it without being guilty of precisely the self-obsession James warns about. Some can; but I suspect I haven't got the chops. It's helped to be busier lately.
I just don't think, in the end of the day, the politics of manners Helen prefers can create the society that she wants, and in the interim it makes this world a colder place. Not that I want a politics of love that's obvious, or easy, or cheap, or powerful, or assured, or certain. William Carlos Williams said that he thought of ee cummings like the prisoner in solitary confinement, who staves off madness by throwing a pin over his shoulder in the dark, to search for it for hours on hands and knees, only to find it and throw it away again. That's all I ask for, the same kind of grasping.
OK. Enough intellectual violence, intentional or not, from me for tonight. Karl Shapiro knows what I mean.
The Dirty Word
by Karl Shapiro
The dirty word hops in the cage of the mind like the Pondicherry vulture, stomping with its heavy claw on the sweet meat of the brain and tearing it with its vicious beak, ripping and chopping the flesh. Terrified, the small boy bears the big bird of the dirty word into the house, and, grunting, puffing, carries it up the stairs to his own room in the skull. Bits of black feather cling to his clothes and his hair as he locks the staring creature in the dark closet.
All day the small boy returns to the closet to examine and feed the bird, to caress and kick the bird, that now snaps and flaps its wings savagely whenever the door is opened. How the boy trembles and delights at the sight of the white excrement of the bird! How the bird leaps and rushes against the walls of the skull, trying to escape from the zoo of the vocabulary! How wildly snaps the sweet meat of the brain in its rage.
And the bird outlives the man, being freed at the man's death-funeral by a word from the Rabbi.
(But I one morning went upstairs and opened the door and entered the closet and found the great bird dead. Softly I wept it and softly removed it and softly buried the body of the bird in the hollyhock garden of the house I lived in twenty years before. And out of the worn black feathers of the wing I have made these pens to write these elegies, for I have outlived the bird, and I have murdered it in my early manhood).

I.T. is like breathing; nobody notices it until there's a problem and by then... it's usually critical. This is just typical of the chaos at the commission. Shelia and Larry did everything they could to destroy many people/departments that didn't serve their interests. Not surprisingly, their legacy continues with the current commission. Is this any surprise? The commission furloughed and laid off key employees in many departments, but they hired another layer of bureaucracy with huge salaries to obfuscate responsibility for mismanagement and not deal with the real problems. ...And yet the people (including many in the news media) cheered. SAD and TYPICAL of this place.
I am constantly amazed by people complaining about a free service.
@Sorewinners -I can now see why some of your comments have been removed. It's how you use a term like "Community Organizers" as a cover for another term. You know exactly what you are doing and it is offensive.
As a military retiree, I find some of the comments made in defense of Stein ill-informed at best. EVERYONE knows when they give their oath what is expected of them. We ALL know, for instance and unlike civilians, we can be prosecuted TWICE for the same crime. UCMJ is an integral part of your life while in the military. And, by the way, "PRIVATE" facebook page? Gimme a break.
This situation must be investigated and prosecuted accordingly. The rest of the political BS is simply that...
Graysville gets what they deserve after voting Mayor Tuggle out -he was a decent man who worked hard for his city. Brewer is just dull tool wielded by his daddy.
Isn't it a bit ironic that the online remittance fees formerly absorbed by the county are the about same amount as Tony 'do nothing' Petelos' salary?
I thought it was hilarious and terribly sad when the press and others were hailing his selection as the 'perfect fit' ... he has done nothing but hire more cronies and yes men from the commission.
Those who thought Tony was anything but a "deflector shield" for the commission were sadly mistaken and naive. Using his trek to the FOOTHILLS of Mt. Everest as a reason to pick him for the position is actually fitting. Instead of working hard to get to the top; JeffCo management is happy being stuck in the lowlands. Congratulations go to David Carrington for adding another layer of ambiguous bureaucracy and a little more time before people fully realize their incompetence.
Just another layer of political cronyism.
How is climbing the foothills of Everest any kind of qualifier?
Were Petelos' news release and Carrington's announcement written by the same person?
Put yet ANOTHER politician who is "…not good with numbers…" in an environment where other politicians failed? It's just typical.
I'd LOVE to see the phone call records of Gov. Bentley's office, Commissioner Carrington, Scott "Aborigines" Beason, Scott Philips, Malcolm-Pirnie, Balch & Bingham, and BARD during the "selection" process. Let's see how much more business Malcolm-Pirnie and Balch & Bingham pick up now…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michelle. I'm sad to say I've only been following her for about two years now. She's an amazing, talented, and witty artist. Thanks, Mary for covering this. I'm sorry I missed another wonderful event.
Khelban... Why don't YOU use something besides spellchecker -like a dictionary? Then, MAYBE, you'd know the difference between "there" and "their". By attacking them for NOT using it, you show your own ignorance. Sad. You are just another blowhard who would rather attack people personally than help fix the problem... Like most people on here... Including me, now. Thanks.
truthhurler: I really don't care what you drive, but the fact you think the days were better in the days before a code, tells me you probably aren't aware of too much anyhow. Yeah, let's all go back to the days when the river would catch fire... --look it up.
I think the code is stupid too, but some people need to have pictures drawn... and where do you think those 'color' codes came from anyhow?? Maybe during Bush 43's reign? Code Orange; Code Red sound familiar?
I am not a liberal nor am I a conservative -I'm just tired of people making generalizations about something they obviously know very little about.
Truthhurler -You go ahead and drive your Suburban -that's what this great nation is about. But it's also about responsibility of the individual. I hope your children never have asthma and that they never have to stay indoors on a 'code orange' day due to air quality. I hope nobody in your family has any health related issues due to contaminated water simply because they live near a non-navigable waterway that had heavy metals dumped into it. I hope you never get sick from contaminated fish caught from those same waterways. So you sit in your suburban and conduct your 'business' in drive-thrus -something tells me, clean water isn't going to be your problem anyhow.
I have a license to drive -issued to me by the State, I guess the POSTED Speed Limits are simply "Guidlelines" and don't have to be followed... 1st of all, an officer of the court stating we dont' have to follow the requirements of our permit is ridiculous, his rational is dubious, and his drive to cast doubt by making these disingenous statements is disgusting. I can't believe the State Bar allows them this much lattitude. Maybe their activities SHOULD be scrutinized by the BAR.
@lostinthe70s... was that your brain you lost? You obviously don't have a clue -if you did, you'd know ADEM is controlled by the same peole it's supposed to regulate. I have to assume by your complete lunacy that you are either an idiot or a plant by BARD or Malcolm Pirnie to foster confusion and distract people who are actually trying to figure out what is going on.
Infadel55 -Wonderful and thoughtful commentary! Thank you.
People who say the EPA is "unneeded" are usually the first to scream for help when they discover they can't drink the water out of their contaminated wells. Or when they can't sell their home because it sits over a toxic plume -like in Montgomery.
What a joke. Do you think the Democrats accomplished all of that during the last two years of Bush's administration? Do you think we just suddenly ran out of money? We never had it... at least not after Bush got into office. I don't give Democrats credit for the surplus either, but at least there WAS one... until BUSH.
Neither party has done a great job, but I'm REALLY tired of the parrots on this blog who keep spouting the same tired rant. If there's any doubt, just look at EVERY beginning comment on a news article and how it's negative, ill informed, and somehow blames everyone but themselves.
I found the links very helpful and I'm thankful for the information. "Ender" apparently doesn't subscribe to the notion of happy holidays so no wonder they can't appreciate a timely article. I wonder if "Ender" even has a PAID subscription to the News.
Sorry... I forgot to comment about the story -I was distracted by the other comment. I'd never heard of Ms. Chanin. What a great honor! BTW, The AlabamaChanin website is really interesting. Thanks for bringing attention to this wonderful group and their products.
Oh Lord... get a life. If you just want a theocracy, that strictly controls how you celebrate and share your faith... I can recommend a few other countries.
I hate to state the obvious... but... this nation is made up of many people with diverse backgrounds; broad (and narrow) views of society; different religious beliefs with varying levels. We have good drivers and drivers that make me wonder how they were able to pass the exams. There are those people who (I think) have wonderful taste and some... not so much -- but that's just me. We have people I like -and some I'd rather not be around.
It's the diversity that makes us strong. And as a military retiree who served this country for over two decades, I can say I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have property in Atlanta and I can tell you... you shouldn't be proud of the way that city has been run.

For what it's worth, the same stocks I noted as having unusual price action last Thursday are having the same action today. Some of these stocks are up 9% in a down market, just like they were last Thursday. Are quant funds still unwinding? It looks suspicious to me, albeit less pronounced (so far). (Update: London hedge fund liquidating? Hard to say if this is rumor or joke.) (Update III: Moody's warns of potential major hedge fund collapse).
Update II from a Jon Markman article (emphasis mine):
He believes that gigantic funds focused on statistical arbitrage, such as ones run by Barclays Global Investors, quietly became the biggest owners of small-cap value stocks in the past couple of years and are now in the process of dumping them wholesale in response to unexpected performance troubles. Once the mass selling is complete, which he expects will be by the end of September, he thinks the market will catch its breath and re-evaluate the prospects of individual companies again.
From around the web:
The Wall Street Journal compiles hedge fund "Dear Investor" letters, with commentary by DealBreaker and by COTSTimer.
Merle Hazard's "H-E-D-G-E" music video via footnoted.
From market makers to volatility makers.
Rick Bookstaber on creating a differentiated hedge fund product. (Update: but is differentiation even possible?)
The Aleph Blog has a good roundup.
Leverage beyond your means at Goldman for a "25 standard deviation event", but the fees are now free.

Updated at: 03/11/2014 4:57 AM
(AP) WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON (AP) — For most of Vincent Gray's three-plus years as District of Columbia mayor, federal prosecutors have been investigating alleged dirty tricks in his 2010 campaign.
While the mayor never spoke in great detail about the investigation, he maintained he did nothing illegal and was aware of nothing illegal. And even when four people who worked on his campaign pleaded guilty to felonies, prosecutors never presented any evidence implicating the mayor.
That all changed Monday — three weeks before a primary that will determine whether Gray can continue seeking a second term.
In a lengthy and detailed charging document, prosecutors are not only alleging Gray was aware of a $668,000 off-the-books "shadow campaign" on his behalf; they're saying he personally requested more than two-thirds of the funds.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
Our Pasta
Our authentic Italian, whole wheat pasta begins in the durum wheat fields of Puglia, Italy, where climate & soil produce premium organic grain.
Expertly milled, our whole wheat flour is finely ground for the texture of semolina, while retaining all of its healthy, whole wheat goodness. The flour is kneaded slowly with cool, spring water and extruded using bronze plates. The unique, coarse surface that results will hug your favorite sauce & enhance the flavor of your dishes.
With a traditional method of slow drying at low temperatures, DeLallo pasta retains its fresh-bread taste and cooks "al dente" every time.
At DeLallo, we use only one ingredient: 100% organic whole wheat. No additives or enriched flour.
Meaning "small strings" in Italian, spaghetti just may be the most well-known pasta. This long cut originated in Southern Italy. Where it is traditionally served with a sauce of fresh tomatoes and herbs.

ROANOKE RAPIDS, N.C. — A 21-year-old Halifax County woman who pleaded guilty to resisting a public officer and being drunk in public has been ordered to write an essay about how a lady should behave in public by a judge.
Police told The Daily Herald of Roanoke Rapids that Toni King stole beer and appeared to be drunk last February in a Roanoke Rapids convenience store. She also fought the officer who arrested her, shouting profanity and insults.
King pleaded guilty last month to resisting a public officer. Chief District Court Judge Brenda Branch placed her probation and ordered her to write a two-page paper titled "How a Lady Should Behave in Public." She also cannot drink alcohol during her probation.

Mitt Romney now has the backing of former President George W. Bush, reports ABC News.
It didn't come at a staged campaign event or even in a formal announcement by the candidate. Rather, Bush endorsed the presumptive nominee in passing as his elevator door closed at a human rights event in Washington. Answering a question called out by a reporter, Bush said, "I'm for Mitt Romney."
Bush has been absent from the campaign trail. Earlier, both his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and father, former President George H.W. Bush endorsed Romney's candidacy. But the still-unpopular 43rd president has yet to appear in the same photo frame with Romney.
On Tuesday, he was at an event to promote the George W. Bush Presidential Center's campaign for human rights activists around the world.

Creating a new generation of data to solve social problems.
In 2010, Pepsi embarked upon on a revolutionary type of marketing strategy: one that pledged $20 million to the best ideas for creating social change as decided upon by its consumers through online voting. This socially-oriented strategy, known as the Pepsi Refresh Project, replaced many forms of traditional marketing. Most notably, Pepsi forewent Super Bowl advertising in order to support the Refresh Project. To leverage grantmaking as marketing, however, Pepsi needed a clear way to measure and communicate the impact of its philanthropy on individuals, communities and the country.
One of my favorite quotes from the Stanford Social Innovation Review's Nonprofit Management Institute came from Andy Smith, co-author of The Dragonfly Effect. In the book, he espouses the virtues of social media in the social sector. Yet at the conference, he said: "Everyone should stop doing social media...until they know what they want to do with it."
Great NYT article on Vinod Khosla and his plans to start a venture capital fund to invest in companies that solve poverty in India, Africa and elsewhere by providing services like health, energy and education.
As of today, Social Innovation, Inc. is shipping from Amazon! And we've been fortunate to have our first review from Lindsay Clinton at Beyond Profit. You can read it here. I like that Lindsay points out the conflict in pointing out social innovation strategies of companies like Coca Cola or Walmart which others may perceive as socially harmful in other aspects of their business. Here's where I come out on this (as I state in the book's conclusion):
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) – or public-private alliances (PPAs) - are receiving increasing amounts of attention. There is broad acknowledgement across the public and private sectors that sustainable solutions to serious development issues require collaboration. Additionally, the current economic conditions create an intensified desire to mitigate risk and to share resources and expertise. Under President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton, the U.S.
As a mission-driven organization itself, Mission Measurement strives to measure and increase its own social impact. The scope of this impact can be seen in the investments made by the organizations with whom we work – from school networks to Fortune 100 corporations to social service nonprofits. Through our work, we help organizations examine and realign their budgets to maximize their impact, both internally and through grantmaking and other investments.

Deaman, who joined Birmingham in the summer of 2011, has yet to make a first-team appearance and is seen as one for the future at St Andrew's.
The 19-year-old centre-back, who can also play at right-back, has been a regular in the Birmingham Under-21 side this season.
A number of League One and League Two clubs have expressed an interest in taking Deaman on loan, but Cheltenham are set to win the race for his services.
Chelteham chief Mark Yates is keen to bolster his squad before Thursday's loan deadline as he looks to maintain their push for promotion from League Two.
Birmingham boss Lee Clark is happy to loan Deaman out so that he can get some valuable first-team experience under his belt.

Concord, N.C. (May 19, 2013)- After fighting for a transfer spot in the Sprint Showdown, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made his Sprint All-Star race debut in the 90-lap shootout with two million dollars on the line. After contact with the No. 55 in the second 20-lap segment, the two-time Nationwide Champion bullied his way through the field to earn a 16th-place finish in the final 10 lap segment.
"It was really cool to get in the All-Star race through the Showdown," said Stenhouse. "I think we learned a lot for next week. We weren't very good in the first segment of the Showdown but felt we were better the second and were getting better throughout the race. We made a lot of adjustments during the red flag that will give us a direction for next week. I learned a few things out there running the extra 90 laps which is huge. All in all, it was a great night for our Best Buy team and we'll try to take everything we learned and be better next weekend."
After being the fastest car in practice, the Olive Branch, Miss. native qualified fourth for the Sprint Showdown. With only the top-two cars advancing for the chance to race for one million dollars, Stenhouse maneuvered his Best Buy Ford up to second-place with 16 laps remaining in the Showdown.
Earning the transfer spot lined up the Best Buy Ford in the 21st-position for the 90-lap All-Star race which consists of four 20-laps segments and one final 10 lap showdown. Stenhouse was working his way up through the field before making contact with the No. 55 machine during the second segment, resulting in some repair on his machine, dropping him to the rear of the field for the next restart.
In the fourth segment, Stenhouse marched up into the eighth-position enhancing his average finish which calculated the starting line-up for the finale. After the final pit-stop, Stenhouse restarted in the 21st-position and bullied his way up through the field to earn a 16th-place finish when the final checkered flag waved.
Next up for Stenhouse and the No. 17 team is the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 26. Race coverage begins at 5:30 p.m.on FOX. Coverage can also be heard on PRN and SIRIUS radio channel 90.

East Tennessee State University Pride Week kicks off today and we can't think of a better time to call attention to how important the university is to Johnson City and the entire region. The university provides valuable educational resources, not only to the students on its campus, but for all the people of Northeast Tennessee.
ETSU provides jobs to many in our region, and these employees are often leaders in our community. The university also provides a strong identity for our area. One way ETSU does this is through the Quillen College of Medicine, where doctors are trained and key research is conducted. Another reason for pride is the continued growth of the Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy.
In addition to being the region's premiere university, ETSU has a host of unique programs — ranging from bluegrass to storytelling — to be proud of. And ETSU's programs are not just limited to its campuses in Johnson City. Students and visitors from all over the world can marvel at the amazing fossil discoveries and learning opportunities available at the ETSU and General Shale Brick Natural History Museum in Gray.
For more information on ETSU Pride Week, call the alumni office at 439-4218 or visit the university's site at www.etsu.edu.

the collective costs of drug use and abuse (approximately $257 billion) exceeds the estimated annual $117 billion cost of heart disease and the estimated annual $104 billion cost of cancer (AHA, 1992; ACS, 1993; D. Rice, University of California at San Francisco, personal communication, 1995). The federal government investment in drug abuse research and development (in FY 1995) was $542.2 million, which represents 4 percent of the $13.3 billion spent by the federal government on drug abuse (ONDCP, 1996). By comparison, $8.5 billion (64 percent of the FY 1995 budget) was spent on criminal justice programs; $2.7 billion (20 percent) on treatment of drug abuse, and $1.6 billion (12 percent) on prevention efforts.
The widespread prevalence of illicit drug use in the United States presents another indication of the need for continued research. It was estimated that in 1994, 12.6 million people had used illicit drugs (primarily marijuana) in the past month (SAMHSA, 1995). The number of heavy drug users, using at least once a week, is difficult to determine. It has been estimated that in 1993 there were 2.1 million heavy cocaine users and 444,000 to 600,000 heavy heroin users (Rhodes et al., 1995).
In light of the magnitude of the drug abuse problem in the United States and the adverse health and social consequences, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examine accomplishments in drug abuse research and provide guidance for future research. The IOM Committee on Opportunities in Drug Abuse Research (formed in January 1995) is convinced that the field is on the threshold of significant advances, and that a sustained research effort will strengthen society's capacity to reduce drug abuse and ameliorate its adverse consequences. The committee's report focuses broadly on opportunities and priorities for future scientific research in drug abuse.
In the committee's view, the term drug should be understood, in its generic sense, to encompass alcohol and nicotine as well as illicit drugs. It is very important for the general public to recognize that alcohol and nicotine constitute, by far, the nation's two largest drug problems, whether measured in terms of morbidity, mortality, or social cost. Continued separation of alcohol, nicotine, and illicit drugs in everyday speech is an impediment to public education, prevention, and therapeutic progress.
Although the committee uses the term drug in its generic sense, to encompass alcohol and nicotine, the report focuses, at NIDA's request, on research opportunities relating to illicit drugs; research on alcohol and nicotine is discussed only when the scientific inquiries are intertwined. Because the report sometimes ranges more broadly than illicit drugs, how-

I love nicky's. They have good egg rolls as well. Delivery always fast. Just love it!
Posted by Anonymous on 05/06/2012
Well, let's see. We order there quite frequent due to the fact it's the only pretty good chinese- who delivers! Perfect! And even pick up. But sometimes when we order extremely late, we place the order and I guess due to them closing, it takes forever for the delivery. But overall the quality of the food is always hot and some of the reviews that I have read is accurate. Gel sauces..:-(

delivery and food is on point!They are always open and the food is good. What more can u ask for?
Posted by hyde park Vet on 11/06/2009
honestly the delivery speed is on point (not better than wok n roll tho)... and the price is cheap... but everything ive ordered from here for sum reason tastes like it was in a frozen bag, thawed, microwaved and boxed. the sauces in each dish are like a thick, odd, watery gel... all ingredients are bland. its just a really weird/uncooked taste.... if they could make more seasoned or i guess thoroughly cooked dishes they'd be great. the Crab Rangoon is imperial btw.

I have been a regular at Nicky's for years! I have my favorites. I think you need to know what to order. They have a great pepper steak. Their fried rice is good and they have great soups. I am a creature of habit and tend to order only what I like and normally get. It is a great staple in the neighborhood and they are extremely fast with delivery. Nicky's is great.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/21/2008
Nikki's is a good place for cheap, authentic Chinese food. They are a little more expensive than some of the other Hyde Park Chinese food restaurants, but it is well worth the extra quarter or two. They don't have much seating, so don't look forward to dining in. This place is great for take-out after work, or delivery on a lazy afternoon.
