(B) Except as provided in subparagraph (C), a subpoena issued under subparagraph (A) may require—
(C) A subpoena issued under subparagraph (A) with respect to a provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service, in an investigation of a Federal offense involving the sexual exploitation or abuse of children shall not extend beyond—
(i) requiring that provider to disclose the information specified in section 2703 (c)(2), which may be relevant to an authorized law enforcement inquiry; or
(D) As used in this paragraph—
(i) the term "Federal offense involving the sexual exploitation or abuse of children" means an offense under section 1201, 1591, 2241 (c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423, in which the victim is an individual who has not attained the age of 18 years; and
(2) A subpoena under this subsection shall describe the objects required to be produced and prescribe a return date within a reasonable period of time within which the objects can be assembled and made available.
(3) The production of records relating to a Federal health care offense shall not be required under this section at any place more than 500 miles distant from the place where the subpoena for the production of such records is served. The production of things in any other case may be required from any place within the United States or subject to the laws or jurisdiction of the United States.
(4) Witnesses subpoenaed under this section shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid witnesses in the courts of the United States.
(5) At any time before the return date specified in the summons, the person or entity summoned may, in the United States district court for the district in which that person or entity does business or resides, petition for an order modifying or setting aside the summons, or a prohibition of disclosure ordered by a court under paragraph (6).
(A) A United States district court for the district in which the summons is or will be served, upon application of the United States, may issue an ex parte order that no person or entity disclose to any other person or entity (other than to an attorney in order to obtain legal advice) the existence of such summons for a period of up to 90 days.
(B) Such order may be issued on a showing that the things being sought may be relevant to the investigation and there is reason to believe that such disclosure may result in—
(7) A summons issued under this section shall not require the production of anything that would be protected from production under the standards applicable to a subpoena duces tecum issued by a court of the United States.
(8) If no case or proceeding arises from the production of records or other things pursuant to this section within a reasonable time after those records or things are produced, the agency to which those records or things were delivered shall, upon written demand made by the person producing those records or things, return them to that person, except where the production required was only of copies rather than originals.
(9) A subpoena issued under paragraph (1)(A)(i)(II) or (1)(A)(iii) may require production as soon as possible, but in no event less than 24 hours after service of the subpoena.
(b) Service.— A subpoena issued under this section may be served by any person who is at least 18 years of age and is designated in the subpoena to serve it. Service upon a natural person may be made by personal delivery of the subpoena to him. Service may be made upon a domestic or foreign corporation or upon a partnership or other unincorporated association which is subject to suit under a common name, by delivering the subpoena to an officer, to a managing or general agent, or to any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process. The affidavit of the person serving the subpoena entered on a true copy thereof by the person serving it shall be proof of service.
(c) Enforcement.— In the case of contumacy by or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to any person, the Attorney General may invoke the aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction of which the investigation is carried on or of which the subpoenaed person is an inhabitant, or in which he carries on business or may be found, to compel compliance with the subpoena. The court may issue an order requiring the subpoenaed person to appear before the Attorney General to produce records, if so ordered, or to give testimony concerning the production and authentication of such records. Any failure to obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such case may be served in any judicial district in which such person may be found.
(d) Immunity From Civil Liability.— Notwithstanding any Federal, State, or local law, any person, including officers, agents, and employees, receiving a subpoena under this section, who complies in good faith with the subpoena and thus produces the materials sought, shall not be liable in any court of any State or the United States to any customer or other person for such production or for nondisclosure of that production to the customer.
(e) Limitation on Use.—
(1) Health information about an individual that is disclosed under this section may not be used in, or disclosed to any person for use in, any administrative, civil, or criminal action or investigation directed against the individual who is the subject of the information unless the action or investigation arises out of and is directly related to receipt of health care or payment for health care or action involving a fraudulent claim related to health; or if authorized by an appropriate order of a court of competent jurisdiction, granted after application showing good cause therefor.
(2) In assessing good cause, the court shall weigh the public interest and the need for disclosure against the injury to the patient, to the physician-patient relationship, and to the treatment services.

|Ajax Public Library & Ajax Town Hall Buildings
Taken around the time I started working there
|Interior of Ajax Public Library.
One of these girls might be me, I am not sure!
I was so afraid of Mr. Vickers. To me as a 14 year old he was a crabby man who was always annoyed with me. But he was one of my mother's best friends and I suppose that is why he didn't fire me.
I did end up liking my job and by the time I was 16 Mr. Vickers had put me in charge of the Children's Library on Saturdays. I loved that as I got to play at being an actual Librarian! Eventually when I quit working there, Mr. Vickers actually suggested I think about taking Library Sciences at University and told me I had done a good job all those teenage years. What high praise! I had no idea he was happy with my work and had spent all my time trying to stay out of his watchful eye.
I never did take Library Sciences, my interests lay in attending the College of Art in Toronto. But that never happened either - another story in a future Sharing Memories Journal entry perhaps......

What do you know that would benefit a young lady in the decision making process???? What did you like especially. What sucked. What would be good to avoid in your opinion. Or what did you look for.
Please PC's, speak up--especially everybody, but Jennifer Garner, recent graduate and employee of a wonderful bakery, please advise--thanks!!! Neil, I shared your web page too. Jennifer, didn't you have a web page??? I couldn't find it.
All advise welcome.

Of course the school had it's problems, but nowhere is perfect.
And what it really comes down to is the students themselves. I've seen wonderful people come out of tiny, unknown culinary schools... just as I've seen terrible cooks come out of CIA.

Truly, if I'd really been educated about the fact that the restaurant business has very little of the above perks, and what it would mean to me in the future, I probably would have reconsidered. It was my blind ambition and naivete that got me where I am now.
Don't get me wrong....I'm happy. But every day is a struggle. If I weren't married and sharing expenses with my husband, I'd never make it on my own......not at $12 an hour with no benefits.
This business has taken it's toll on me physically too. Bad feet......and hands weakened by carpal tunnel syndrome. Burn scars all up and down my arms. Remember I have no health benefits, but luckily the state picked up the cost of my carpal tunnel surgery since it's a work related injury.
And, there's the undeniable fact that in probably no other field, will you have to work so hard for so little.
People considering this profession REALLY have to ask themselves, if they REALLY want to do this.
Because, what you see on Food Network ISN'T how it is.

We also have the Cordon Bleu school here with a dynamite pastry teaching staff. But that's almost as expensive as the CIA.
Have you thought about her perhaps spending one year apprenticing in the business to make sure that she loves it ? They do that in Europe.
Posted 20 July 2005 - 03:26 PM
I second this very good advice. I gave it to my very-own-teenager, who got himself a job at the best local place, and learned waaaaayyyyy more than he would have in the same time period in culinary school. (I went, so I know...) Especially with a teen, it's so important for them to get their hands dirty (and clean--by washing lots of dishes..) to see if it's really for them.

European parallels aren't very valid here in the US, we have a different culture, the pastry "profession," and I use that term loosely, is perceived differently, so, too, is the vocational or trade school aspect of pastry perceived differently here.
It's one thing to have done research about attending school, like chiantiglace, and I think that input is valuable; it's another to have recently attended school, like ohmyganache, and that perspective is also valuable--reports from recent grads flush with enthusiasm and also reports from older grads, still in debt looking back on their school experience 5+ years in the business. It's another to have taught in cooking schools and particularly to have experience teaching teens--that I have and that's something I can share with you Kate. Based on what I've seen, after changing careers myself at age 33, then eventually teaching, I almost always encourage teens, and their parents, to wait.
Not knowing more about your teen, I'd recommend you send her to the best real college if you can afford it, even just for a year or two, and NOT to study pastry, anywhere, yet. She'll have more options later and operate more from a position of strength and independence in society if she doesn't go to cooking school as a teen--that closes doors, not opens them, later. Suggest she get a broad education first, learn to write and think critically, follow the advice of others on this thread and encourage her to dabble in professional food via part-time jobs and summer vacations and reassure her that there will be plenty of time for her to commit to pastry later via an intensive 6 month career changing program--should her desire not wane by then and should she not discover another passion by then. She deserves the idealistic opportunity to study philosophy, to paint, to become a graphic artist, a sculptor, a website designer, to learn French or Spanish, to take accounting or small business. As a freshman studying whatever, she can bake bread at a bakery near her college or work part time for an organic farmer, that Summer you two go to Paris and tour boulangeries and patisseries; as a sophomore she can plate desserts at the best restaurant near her college, that Summer break you two hit the best restaurants in NYC for a week, drop by the FCI and the CIA and that little unknown gem of a program, the New York City Technical College, etc. By then, she'll have a big advantage most other incoming cooking school students won't have had--she'll already have a lot of real-world pastry work experience under her belt that hopefully has sustained itself over the 4 years of her college education--and she'll be in a better position to appreciate what she's learning and to process it when she's 22.
Her awareness of food and pastry is probably fairly limited at this point--again, not knowing more of the specifics of your situation--maybe while she is in real college you put together a four year pastry-oriented plan of travel to New York, Paris, Chicago, Barcelona et al, you're welcome to visit me in DC anytime and I'll show her around the restaurants--I'll show her what it is really like back of the house for CIA culinary school grads. That travel will help her taste and broaden her perspective much more than attending the CIA will, and it'll help her re-affirm her desire, it'll be something fun both of you can do together, and she can still go to the CIA or another school for pastry if she hasn't gotten it out of her system by then. I guarantee once she's out of school, lifting 50 pound sacks, standing on her feet for 12 hours a day and speaking Spanish to her coworkers somewhere in her $9 an hour job, baking off sheetpans of frozen croissants or chocolate chip cookies beside lazy union bakers who resent that she went to school and CHOSE to do this, trying to scrimp and save to pay back whatever loans she took out to attend school, she's not going to be travelling anywhere. For a long time.
Best advice you can give her is to work a lot in the field first, travel as much as possible first, go to college, put off going to pastry school for as long as she can, and then go after a period of time if and only if she still feels that's what she's absolutely meant to do. Then she'll have a better chance to make it and be fulfilled.

I'm the example of the kid who didn't go to "real college" first.
Even though I consider myself successful in this business, I'm still making $12 an hour.
Creditors and landlords don't really care how beautiful your cakes are....they want you to show
them the money. And I'm like, "what money?"
Without a college degree, I have nothing to fall back on. I've gotta lotta smarts, but a lot of employers want to see that degree.......in most places where you stand to make a decent amount of money you can't even get your foot in the door without college, no matter how smart you are!
Believe me, I KNOW!
Kids have a lot of spunk and a "conquer the world" attitude.....and that's great....but they need to get out in the world to REALLY discover what they want out of life. Frequently what they think they want straight out of school, ends up not being what they want at all a few years down the line. Even if they go to college and major in something they don't end up actually utilizing in the work force (like art history or philosophy), they still have the degree......and that degree opens up FAR MORE doors than a stint in pastry school!
I say again, Steve is right on the money.

a regular 4-year college is not for everyone, and certainly not automatically right out of high school. If a student isn't ready and/or it's not the right college, it can be a huge waste of time, money and opportunity
Tess--even given what I've written, I agree with this 100%, there are so many variables that are going to affect each choice, each decision. There are no guarantees and it's not an either-or decision--I think what I'm urging for "pastry teens" more than anything else is informed consent going in, and to develop that it takes time. How much time will depend. My college experiences 15 years later helped make me the pastry chef I am, for better and worse, and I definitely didn't appreciate my 4+ years in school, looking back, as much as I could have. I don't think that's unusual. Knowing what I know now about myself, I would've taken a slightly different track then--no Byzantine history or Renaissance poetry and instead some fine art and business--but I would still re-take all the biology, chemistry, physics and english. I would have summoned up the courage to go to France for a semester abroad when I was 20 instead of chickening out and I would have started to drink espresso and paid attention in 8am Spanish class instead of snoozing through, because I'd sure be using that to better advantage now. It's always hard to predict what you need and what you're ready for at the time.

And let me hasten to say, I am asking for my dear friend's 17 year old. Let me also hasten to say, my 21 year old boy just finished his Cordon Bleu studies in Texas with a 4.0. He is now at The Peabody. Yes, he worked line cook & other stations for several years before attending school so he knew going in what was up.
It was really funny though--he worked here in Memphis cooking at a popular night spot--then in Austin he got on at a big hotel as a line cook. He's wonderfully young, idealistic and he loves Thomas Kellor. He said to me worriedly "Mom, the food the people in the dining room just stare at me when I come out." I said, "Oh, it's ok, everybody knows it's just hotel food." He said, "Oh thanks, Mom, that makes me feel sooo much better, when I came out of the kitchen in Memphis they would clap for me."
So he is becoming well aware.

a 4 year deegree in pastry arts isnt a stint, not to sound contraversal. It can open a lot of doors in the food industry, and there are many more doors than people tend to think.
I agree with you here chiantiglace. I did not go to 'regular' college myself, I got a bachelors at CIA in restaurant management. That certainly gives me a lot more opportunities in the field than simply an AOS degree. I could even continue schooling to get a masters degree at a different school if I wanted...
For people that are unfamiliar with the BPS program, I took classes in Accounting, Marketing, Restaurant Ops, Ethics, World History, Food and Culture, etc... and the best part was that there was maybe 20 people in my class, so every teacher knew every one of our names. I grew up in Gainesville, Florida and at UF, you're lucky if there's not 200 people in your classes...
What I didn't mention before is that this 17 year old friend needs to get a job cooking (or baking). Because it is a lot of hard work and you really have to love it.

But, just as an example, to sort of play devil's advocate, I will share this:
Our Sysco rep went to the CIA for the Baking/Pastry program and finished I believe in '98. She says she wanted it for years, and finally got the funds, time and experience to attend (and she was over 30). Out of school she slaved away at two different places for pennies (actually about 8 or 9 bucks an hour). After doing lots of research on her slow growing career by talking to MANY others in the pasty field, she decided she couldn't exist on such a limited income, and without any hopes of benefits until she got near the top. Her words: her future looked grim. She heard about an opening at Sysco, and went for it.
Now she sells mass-produced canned/packaged basic ingredients and ersatz mixes, along with equipment. She gets to live vicariously through her customers/accounts when she calls on them. She says she's still around food, but not at all what she planned. But, she makes a decent living, with benefits. She says, however, that she does make the best damn cookies of any of her friends...
Posted 21 July 2005 - 05:36 PM
Many people say they'd love to have the job the distributors and reps have, but its a cutthroat business and a very difficult/stressful one that you can only truly know until you try it.

I only shared that story as an example of someone who dreamt for years that's what she wanted to do (baking and pastry), finally did it, eyes open and well into adult life, and found out it wouldn't pay the bills. She spent all that money and time on a premier and expensive culinary school, only to become a SYSCO rep...
Posted 21 July 2005 - 08:20 PM
it is our responsibility to steer our future generations in the right direction. we are the ones who should know better, no 18 year old has a clue of who they are or who they want to become. a college education never killed anyone. cooking is not glamorous. it's tedious, menial, manual labor. don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise. for every mario batali there are thousands of people who 10 years down the line are still hourly waged cooks with no real future in sight. this profession is a very serious commitment so send your kids to college. drag them by the hair to freshman orientation if you must, but make them get out there and find out who they are first. and then when they are old enough to comprehend the decision they are about to make they can go to cooking school

A persons life path might take significant turns at an unexpected moment. I have worked all stations in kitchens and my last three restaurants was as pastry. One of my PC's now reps for a major chocolate house, the other one now is a culinary educator and I am a private chef for a couple. Other doors opened for us and we all stepped through. None of us regret leaving the bake shop, things like better hours, much better money, benefits, all contributed to a different lifestyle for us. I will not say better because that is not fair. We all have much different stressors now. But for all 3 of us, life is good in our new areas. I know for me, I have gone far beyond what I dreamed of doing.

I also had been working at a well paying job for years and had a big chunk of money set aside to pay for school and live on while I attended so I didn't have to work at the same time. The French Pastry School certainly isn't cheap, though it's far less expensive than most of the other well known schools like CIA, ICE and the French Culinary Institute.
So I'm with others who have written here about getting a job first. In fact, go through several jobs before deciding if this is the career she wants, and then start thinking about IF spending a huge amount of money on school makes sense. Afterall, she will most likely make very little money for years even after coming out of the best school, and having big loans to pay back can be a crushing burden.

I highly regret not getting a well rounded college education! Yes, adults can go back to college later in life........but it's not so easy when you have bills to pay and people your responsible for.

I've been told that the culinary schools have enormous rates of attrition. In Austin, something like 60% of the kids who sign up quit after the first year. The schools recruit like crazy. There can be 600 kids in an incoming class, and classes start three times a year, I think... Lots of parents, at their wits' end because their high school graduate doesn't know what to do next with her life, pay the enormous fees because their child is accepted at the Culinary much easier than at a college. Up until now, there have been few remedial resources at the culinary schools, so the kids give it a try and then drop out. Seems to me that these schools, being so attractive to high school graduates, should try to copy the community colleges and work really hard to retain their students by offering more remedial courses and a lot more encouragement.
Input? Am I wrong about this?

So weed them all out, the sooner the better I feel. Leave the ones who REALLY want to learn to push forth with me and some others so we dont have to drag our feet with the guy who doesnt give a s$#t about what hes learning but only doing it for his parents/job/corporation.

Pastry Chef: One If By Land Two If By Sea
Posted 23 July 2005 - 03:29 AM
The people I have enjoyed working with the most have gone into pastry because they left their teenage-chosen line of work to do something they really love, because if you don't love working in pastry, there's just no point to being in the bake shop. I always reject applications from new culinary school grads who say, "I love to bake for my friends." Well, the guests are not your friends, sweetie. They want the best quality for the least amount of money. They want a birthday cake for Aunt Rose to serve 12 with fuschia and teal frosting, and they want it now. And if they don't get it now, they're not paying for it.
Some of the replies to this discussion have sounded very bitter, and I guess mine is sounding that way, too. But I absolutely love my job. I work in the most incredible place, with amazingly gifted people. I now have my dream job, after 9 years of moving around the country to get more experience, working endless days and nights, suffering through a few executive chefs who "used to bake" (which means they have one dessert they will force you to make for every event possible!), until I was lucky enough to be able to land this job. This is where I will make a name for myself. But it took me nine years and tens of thousands of hours to get here.
I went to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, where I had always wanted to go. I cashed in everything I had to be able to do it, but when I returned to the states, I was offered the first six jobs I applied for. It still opens a lot of doors not possible if I'd gone to an American school, but I know some of the schools here are just as good. I've taken a class at the French Pastry School, and I would love to go back for more. As with any profession, a student only gets out of school what they put in.
So, yes, please advise the teenager to study other things, work in a real bakery or restaurant, see other places. Life is too large to spend it in a windowless, flour-filled room with no air conditioning if you don't absolutely, completely love making something as transitory and unnecessary a pleasure as dessert.

And I TOTALLY hear you about culinary externs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 24 July 2005 - 08:17 AM
On the subject of externs and recent grads I used to get J&W students who thought our food was beneath them, but they could not cook a burger to temp or handle any type of line pressure, and then wondered why they where getting paid less than the line cooks without a degree who could handle all you could throw at them.
I think Steve is right on target, a well rounded education is important, as is travel and seeing other places.

The Friends of Scott Walker campaign announced this afternoon that Gov. Walker will participate in two statewide televised debates against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett leading up to the gubernatorial recall election on June 5.
"Governor Walker is excited to discuss the positive effects that the bold reforms put in place last year have brought to the people of Wisconsin and how those reforms are moving the state forward," said Walker campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews. "He looks forward to the robust debates and contrasting his record of success that has laid the foundation for a successful future against the failed policies of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett that would take the state backward."
Earlier today, Barrett had challenged Walker to four debates.
"Scott Walker loves to launch misleading attacks on jobs, so let's meet face-to-face and compare our records and our visions on jobs for the people of Wisconsin," Barrett said. "He can explain why Wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state in the nation under his watch."
The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association will host the first debate on Friday, May 25, and the second is scheduled for Thursday, May 31, hosted by WISN-12 UpFront with Mike Gousha, in partnership with Marquette University Law School, WisPolitics.com and the UpFront network of affiliates.
Barrett will appear at a Milwaukee Press Club Newsmaker Luncheon to be held in conjunction with the Milwaukee Rotary Club at the War Memorial Center, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive in downtown Milwaukee over lunch at noon on Tuesday, May 22. Advanced registration is available online at www.milwaukeepressclub.org.
The Milwaukee Press Club and the Milwaukee Rotary Club also are attempting to lock in a date to feature Walker in a Newsmaker Luncheon before the June 5 recall election.

Dear Folks
I am well but haven't heard from you for a couple of weeks and suppose I will get a couple of letters at once. Today is Thanksgiving and we have a holiday and nothing to do. We are going to have a good feed so the cooks say and a fat pig is hanging up in the kitchen to show for it. They say it cost 450 franks so almost $90 in American money and only weighs 150 pounds. We are promised some turkey, I don't know what they cost. This will show you about what things cost over here. The Americans give what is asked for the things they buy and they

CENTRAL FALLS — With the recent Boston Marathon bombing tragedy, much attention has been paid to the "first responders" who sprang into action to aid the injured. However, since last March and long before all the media attention, 18 Central Falls High School students were quietly meeting after school to learn how to be emergency responders, and their hard work and dedication has paid off.
CENTRAL FALLS — With the recent Boston Marathon bombing tragedy, much attention has been paid to the "first responders" who sprang into action to aid the injured. However, since last March and long before all the media attention, 18 Central Falls High School students were quietly meeting after school to learn how to be emergency responders, and their hard work and dedication has paid off.
On April 25, these students were inducted by the Red Cross of Rhode Island as members of the Student Emergency Response Team (SERT). "We're the first in the state as a school emergency response team," noted Robert Scappini, a Central Falls High School history teacher who founded the program. He added that the program is "ground-breaking" because it is the first of its kind in the eastern United States to enlist students.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts were in attendance at the induction ceremony, where the students received official patches establishing them as the Central Falls High School Emergency Response Team. Participating students are Jessie Barrios, Erika Botelho, Katherine Carrillo, Pedro Cabral, Abigal Chacon, Devin Chamberland, Sabrina Gonzalez, Melanie Hernandez, Nathalia Gomez, Jose Medina, Mercedes Peters, Abigal Reyes, Angelica Ruiz, Agatha Vargas, Sebastian Zuleta, Jailene Lozano, Helaryn Hernandez and Alexis Dominguez.
Scappini said the students, who span grades 9 through 11, are all volunteers who are being trained as first responders to emergencies and disasters that may happen in the school or the community. The students have been going through basic orientation programs held at the high school since early March. They will now begin formal training, provided by the Red Cross of Rhode island, during the month of July at Rhode Island Army National Guard's Camp Fogarty.
The Central Falls SERT students will be trained in first aid, disaster management, light search and rescue, fire safety, radio communications and shelter management. According to the program outline, students will form a corps of volunteers that will assist local police and fire departments in the event of a natural or man-made emergency. Thanks to an Extended Learning Opportunity grant, the SERT has been able to purchase equipment such as hard hats, goggles, safety vests and other items for use in emergency management training.
Scappini noted that, beyond this valuable level of training, many of the students are bi-lingual and speak Spanish, Creole and Portuguese, something that could prove especially helpful to local public safety officials in the event of a disaster or emergency. This could mean anything from natural occurrences such as extreme flooding or snowstorms to medical events such as the H1N1 flu inoculation clinics. "These kids could bridge the gap between the first responders in the community," he noted.
Scappini said he got the idea for starting a SERT after reading an article about Civilian Emergency Response Teams. Such teams, with adult volunteers, were first organized in Los Angeles, California in 1985 and are found 50 states. He put out a flyer in the school and was surprised by the number of students who were interested and began attending the weekly after-school meetings.
Assisting Scappini, a U.S. Navy veteran who is the teacher mentor for the program, are science teacher Kerri Withrow, physical education teacher Jeff Lapierre and social studies teacher Jerry Lapierre. Jason Campagnone is the Rhode Island Red Cross mentor.
"I can't tell you the enthusiasm they have shown for this," said Scappini, who said he envisions the program's expansion next year and beyond. "These are a fantastic bunch of kids who have shown dedication and compassion to this program." He noted that 10 of the 18 SERT members, on their own, took an on-line course offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and achieved "level 1" certification as emergency first responders.
As part of the program, Scappini said the students are designing a prototype for a portable canvas stretcher that can be folded up small enough to fit inside a backpack. This item is something that could be used during events where there are large crowds. He added that toward the end of the SERT training in September, the students will stage a "mock disaster" drill at the high school, showing what they've learned and how they would respond.
Along those lines, Scappini noted that the April 15 Boston Marathon terrorist attack was an obvious topic of discussion during recent SERT meetings. "We talked about it at length and the students did a lot of thinking about what they would do if they were put in that situation," he said.
Particularly in the wake of unfortunate incidents such as the school shootings in Newtown, Conn. and recent bomb threats that have caused disruption at Woonsocket High School, Central Falls teacher Jerry Lapierre also noted that the SERT can be a valuable asset to the high school. He said that having students trained in these types of skills could go a long way in helping the school population remain calm during an emergency, until which time public safety officials arrive and take over.
Besides being an asset to their school and city, Scappini noted that the students involved in the SERT will earn community service hours required for graduation as well as extended learning credits. The students who complete the program will also be able to wear a special Red Cross cord on their graduation gowns next year.
At a recent SERT session, in which the students were trying on their new safety equipment in preparation for a lesson on doing a building search and rescue, several spoke about how much they like the course and the skills they are gaining.
Jessie Barrios, a junior, said she would like to pursue a career in the medical field and thought the emergency response team program seemed like a good way to gain experience. "At the end of the day, it's the same thing, helping people in need," she said.
Agatha Vargas, also a junior, said, "I love it. It's so much fun. This program has made me want to go into nursing or something like this."
Devin Chamberland, an 11th grader, said he currently works doing security for the city's Parks and Recreation Department and credits the program with teaching him some useful skills for dealing with the public.
For Pedro Cabral, an 11th grader who is planning to join the military, being on the SERT "can definitely help me. It's good to know what to do when something happens."

|Boone Police say 'Lock your car!'
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 04 May 2007 07:44
Southern Boone has had a rash of car break-ins, according to Sergeant Jim Wilson.
Approximately two dozen break-ins have occurred since January, according to Wilson, in both Wal-mart and Boone Mall parking lots, as well as on Leola Street and Meadowview Drive. I-pods and other items have been stolen and Boone police say it is likely the incidents are related. Wilson has some advice for High Country residents. Most of the break-ins occurred in unlocked cars. His advice is simple: Lock your car! If you have valuables, keep them out of sight, he said.
No suspects have been determined and anyone with any information is encouraged to contact Boone Police at (828) 262-5400

About the ManufacturerSimple Green's Mission - "As a socially responsible company, Sunshine Makers, Inc. is committed to being the worldwide market leader, providing high quality, environmentally safer cleaning products.? The Simple Green® story began over thirty years ago, long before "environmentally friendly? products were mandated by law. Bruce FaBrizio and his father developed a safer alternative to the toxic cleaners then being used to remove tannic acid, a by-product of coffee roasting, from roasting machinery. It took three years to perfect the biodegradable, not-toxic, non-flammable, non-abrasive formula. After its initial success, Bruce began selling Simple Green to automotive and industrial customers in 55-gallon drums; which he delivered in his van, for use as a cleaner on equipment and floors. In 1979, just as initial retail marketing efforts were beginning to pay off, Bruce's father died. Bruce managed to keep the business alive and in 1981 gave his company the name it continues to carry ?" Sunshine Makers, Inc. Simple Green was then introduced nationally into several new markets including Hardware/Do It Yourself, consumer grocery & drug, GSA (government) and Club-Store classes of trade. In the early 1990s, Bruce created the Environmental Technology Division within his company in order to define the cutting edge of today's cleaning solutions and solidify his company's high standards for environmental responsibility. Today, over 3 million dollars have been spent to prove the safety and efficacy claims of Simple Green. Sunshine Makers, Inc. is still owned and operated by Bruce P. FaBrizio. Sunshine Makers, Inc. has its headquarters in Huntington Beach, California, with satellite offices all over the world. Simple Green is manufactured in Garden Grove, California ? Lawrenceville, Georgia ? Rydalmere, Australia and Bernburg, Germany. Additional distribution centers are located in Maastricht, Netherlands and Choisy le Roi, France. Satellite sales offices are strategically located across the United States. The Simple Green family of products has expanded to encompass consumer and industrial product lines. Original Simple Green and the entire family of Simple Green products are now a part of everyday life in millions of homes, commercial and industrial sites, not only in the United States but all over the world.

BtoB/B2B (Business-to-Business)
Businesses whose primary customers are other businesses.[Business-to-business ] marketing may be one of the least understood disciplines in business.
It's ironic, because consumer-centric marketing has been widely popularized - just check out the marketing section at any bookstore or peruse the curriculum of most MBA marketing programs. But while a number of consumer marketing concepts have analogs in marketing to businesses, it's not a simple translation from targeting "Joe" to targeting "Joe's Discount Auto Parts" with 28 stores in five states.
That's certainly true in search marketing.
On March 22, at Day 2 of SES New York 2010, Patricia Hursh, Tony Wright, and myself will present at the session Advanced B2B Search Marketing. In our brief hour, we'll cover search marketing what is adipex methods that are purely about reaching and converting businesses.
In particular, we'll focus on three dynamics that are unique to B2B marketing.
First, B2B buying is a group activity. For purchases of any significance, a number of people will weigh in on the decision, often from several departments. Internally, there can be a mix of collaboration and competition in this process - everyone wants the business to succeed, but everyone wants to look good in their particular adipex diet pills job too.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- As temperatures drop, so do blood donations in West Michigan.
That's why the American Red Cross held a blood drive in Grand Rapids Friday.
The Red Cross is the largest supplier of blood in the nation, collecting and processing 40% of all donations. The organization supplies blood to hospitals in West Michigan outside of Kent County.
Red Cross workers say the need for blood is constant. They say with the busy holiday schedules and winter weather, it's even tougher to maintain the supply.
"We have a need for blood in the U.S. -- every two seconds somebody needs blood," Ashley Minor, donor recruitment representative with the American Red Cross."
Red Cross workers say the blood types in highest demand include O-positive, O-negative, A-negative and B-negative.
The American Red Cross in Grand Rapids will hold its next blood drive from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on March 5. The blood drive will be at the Red Cross office at 1050 Fuller Ave. NE in Grand Rapids.

Comments about CamelBak L.U.X.E. Hydration Pack (Women's):
Perfect size, traded up for this one for more space. Love everything except I wish the shoulder straps weren't felt, I feel they will wear out faster. I understand it's for comfort with a tank top, but I like it when the material on the inside of the strap is the same as the back of the pack.
Love the new design for the reservoir... wish there was a way to insert it with the cap side out - makes it easier to put it in and out I think.
Love this bag, would highly recommend it!

Best Irish Restaurant and best Reuben sandwich. The value is great and the food was unforgettable. The bar has a warm, old-time feel to it.
-Noah S.
My favorite stop during a weekend dedicated almost exclusively to eating! Our waitress not only gave us recommendations on what to order, but how best to eat it once ordered (in a cool Irish accent, no less!). The sausage roll appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the mustard dipping sauce that came with it so good that I asked for more of it to dip the onion rings that came with my main course.
-Olga S.
Yeah - you know I don't hand out 5 stars very often - but this is the most authentic version of Fish & Chips that you can get outside of Dublin. HUGE portion, great chips, fresh fish - not too greasy - done right! Steve had the Ruben - OH MY! I wanted to come back the next day just to have the Ruben. Corned beef the true Irish way.

If you are one of the millions of Americans with asthma, you may know that there is an array of medications that are very effective for keeping your symptoms under control. But did you know that you can also become a partner with your doctor in monitoring your asthma?
A peak flow meter measures how well your lungs are able to expel air. You can learn to use this simple device to monitor your asthma and head off attacks before they occur. This article will tell you how.
How Does a Peak Flow Meter Work?
Peak flow meters come in a number of shapes and sizes, but they all work in the same way. The device consists of a plastic tube with a mouthpiece on one end. Inside is a mechanism that moves a small pointer along a scale when air is blown into the tube. The scale shows the amount of force with which air is blown out of the lungs. This force is measured in liters per minute (L/min) and is called the peak expiratory flow (PEF).
During an asthma attack, the muscles of the upper airways contract. This makes it harder for the lungs to take in and release air. It is this narrowing of the airways that causes the characteristic wheezing sound of an asthma episode. However, this narrowing does not occur suddenly and all at once, but rather builds up gradually over time. In other words, your airways may have begun to narrow before you feel the first symptoms of asthma—hours or even days before.
How Can a Peak Flow Meter Help Me Manage My Asthma?
The peak flow meter can detect airway narrowing when it first begins, possibly before you actually feel any symptoms. A drop in your normal PEF can signal the need for you to take asthma medication in order to prevent an asthma episode. By taking medication before symptoms appear, you may be able to avoid a severe episode.
A peak flow meter can also help both you and your doctor:
Learn what makes your asthma worse
Decide whether your treatment plan is working well
Decide whether to adjust your medication dose or to add other medications to your treatment regimen
Decide when you should seek emergency care
How Do I Use My Peak Flow Meter?
Peak flow meters are most helpful for asthma patients who take asthma medication on a daily basis. They can be used by anyone, including children ages 5 and older.
To use your peak flow meter:
Slide the pointer all the way down to the bottom of the scale.
Stand up.
Take a deep breath.
Place your lips over the mouthpiece, taking care not to allow any gaps. Do not put your tongue inside the hole.
Blow as quickly and as forcefully as you can in a single blow. The idea is not to see how long you can blow out, but rather how fast and hard you can push the air out of your lungs.
Once you have blown out, take the meter out of your mouth and note the number next to the pointer. If you cough or make a mistake, do not write down that number. Take two more readings in this manner, and then record the highest of the three blows. Record this number in a notebook or on a chart each time you take a peak flow reading.
Finding Your "Personal Best" Peak Flow Reading
When you first start using a peak flow meter, you must first find your personal best peak flow reading. This is the number on the peak flow meter scale that is the highest you can achieve when your asthma is under good control. "Good control" means that you feel good and are not having any asthma symptoms.
For 2-3 weeks, you should take PEF readings at least twice a day. Measure your peak flow: (1) in the morning and in the evening, (2) after every time you take your short-acting inhaled quick-relief medication to relieve symptoms, and (3) any other time your doctor suggests. Write down the readings you get each time you measure your PEF. At the end of the 2-3 weeks, look over the numbers and pick out the highest reading. This number is your personal best peak flow reading.
Each asthma patient's case is different, so your personal best reading is likely to be different from someone else's, even if that person is the same age, weight and height. This is why it is important to find your own personal best reading.
Once you have found your personal best reading, your doctor can tell you how to use it to manage your asthma on a daily basis. Three numbers are calculated from the personal best reading and are used to set up three "zones," somewhat like the three colors of a traffic light. These zones are based on percentages of your personal best number and are only guidelines and must be individualized:
Green zone: More than 80 percent of your personal best number. This signals that your asthma is under good control. You should take your asthma medications as you usually do.
Yellow zone: 50 percent to 80 percent of your personal best. This indicates—caution! Some airway narrowing is present. You should take your short-acting quick-relief medication right away to prevent asthma symptoms. Ask your doctor if you need to change or increase your daily medicines.
Red zone: Less than 50 percent of your personal best reading signals a medical alert. Significant airway narrowing is present, and you must take your quick-relief medication right away. Call your doctor or the emergency room of your hospital and ask what to do, or go directly to the emergency room.
The above zones are found by calculating percentages of your personal best reading. For instance, perhaps your personal best reading is 440 L/min. Your "green zone" would be 80 percent of 440, or 352 L/min. As long as your peak flow reading is at or above 352, you are in the green zone and do not need to take additional action to control your asthma.
If your peak flow reading increases 20 percent or more when measured before and after taking a short-acting inhaled quick-relief medicine, talk to your doctor about adding more medicine to control your asthma better.
If You Have Questions
Talk to your doctor. The guidelines given here may be slightly different from your doctor's advice, which is based on your personal case. Always follow your doctor's directions. Together you can work as a team to keep your asthma under control.

Operators at Dresden Generating Station placed Unit 3 back online at 10:42 a.m. yesterday following the completion of planned maintenance work.
MORRIS, Ill. (April 27, 2009) - Operators at Dresden Generating Station placed Unit 3 back online at 10:42 a.m. yesterday following the completion of planned maintenance work.
"This maintenance, which involved replacing a valve, was a proactive measure to help ensure that the unit will continue to provide safe, reliable and environmentally-friendly electricity through the summer and beyond," said Tim Hanley, Dresden site vice president.
Dresden Unit 2 continued to supply electricity while Unit 3 was offline.
Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two operating units can produce more than 1,700 megawatts net of electricity per hour. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Encyclopedia of Creativity Named Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association
Saybrook University is proud to announce that the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Creativity has been selected as an "Outstanding academic Title" by the American Library Association.
The selection was made by "Choice," an ALA publication that serves as a resource to those in higher education. Less than 10 percent of the over 7,000 works considered are given this distinction.
Widely seen as the outstanding sourcebook for specialized information about creativity in all its aspects, The Encyclopedia of Creativity, now in its second edition, is edited by Dr. Mark Runco and Dr. Steven Pritzker, both internationally recognized experts in the study of creativity. Dr. Pritzker also serves as the Director of the Creativity Studies program at Saybrook University, perhaps the premier program in the field.
Long recognized as an important element in mental health, creativity is increasingly recognized as a key driver in the global economy as well: perhaps no question is more important to businesses in every sector of the economy than "how do we drive innovation?"
The Encyclopedia of Creativity covers areas including factors that enhance creativity, areas that motivate creativity, and creativity in a variety of contexts, from daily life to the board room to the arts. A particular emphasis has been taken to include the contributions of women to the arts and study of creativity; their contributions have often been overlooked in the past.
"This recognition of the Encyclopedia of Creativity reinforces our goal of making creativity an important topic of conversation," Dr. Pritzker said. "We need to understand how to approach the increasingly complex and challenging problems of the world with exciting new ideas. The goal of both the Encyclopedia of Creativity and our program at Saybrook University is to encourage understanding and practical application of creativity in all aspects of society.

Ever wonder how nuclear power is generated or what happens inside a nuclear power plant control room? Attend Byron Generating Station's community open house to find the answers to these questions and many more.
BYRON, Ill. — Ever wonder how nuclear power is generated or what happens inside a nuclear power plant control room? Attend Byron Generating Station's community open house to find the answers to these questions and many more.
The event will be held Sunday, Oct. 21 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in the station's training building on plant property located at 4450 N. German Church Road, about four miles south of Byron, Ill.

"Members of the public have the opportunity to visit with station employees and learn how we safely generate power, handle used fuel and train a world-class organization."
Employees will provide general information about station operations, environmental awareness, security, safety, and station enhancements made following last year's event at the Fukushima nuclear facility in Japan. Guests will also be able to tour the station's control room simulator located in the training facility, which is where operator training is conducted.
Light refreshments will be served. Residents who have questions about the event or general questions about Byron Station and its outreach program can call (815) 406-3554. Due to security restrictions, the open house is limited to the plant's training center. It will not include a tour inside the plant.

Comments about Gator Roto Mold Amp Case for 2x12 Amps:
This amp case is great for the price. It protects you vinyl and your amp from all the harsh things that happen when traveling in a band. We travel a lot and my amp is always protected. It beats paying crazy money for a standard amp case. I love this item at this price. Great buy!
Comments about Gator Roto Mold Amp Case for 2x12 Amps:
The Gator RotoMold 212 Amp Case is a decent case for working musicians. It's fairly sturdy on it's own, and with an amp inside it's a tank. I can set my Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue amp on top of it at a gig and it's the right height for stage use. It comes with some casters that are not as heavy duty as you will probably need if you roll it around much on concrete. They are okay if you don't roll it on rough surfaces though. I will be replacing those soon. I also put a piece of high-density foam in the bottom of the case to help cushion the amp during transport, as the case comes as just a plastic box with no padding. For the price, it's a decent case. Add some cushioning and some better wheels and it's a fantastic case.
