The European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA) is an unprecedented voluntary collaboration between the European Commission, European trade associations, and companies from seven industry sectors.
EPAA partners are committed to pooling knowledge and resources to accelerate the development, validation and acceptance of alternative approaches to further the replacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs) of animal use in regulatory testing.
Being aware of the fact that alternatives to animal testing can only turn into a real success if implemented globally, it has been decided that the lead theme of the 2012 EPAA activities – and, consequently, also the focus of the 2012 Annual Conference – is the "Development and Implementation of 3R methodologies through International Cooperation".

A lengthy discussion on wage equity at last Tuesday's Price River Water Improvement District meeting will be continued Thursday at 4 p.m. at a special session of the board of trustees.
At the last PRWID meeting, board member Mike Dalpiaz recommended taking savings from unfilled positions and splitting it up among the six wasterwater employees.
Dalpiaz contended that, without the extra help, the existing pool of employees are required to take on more responsibilities.
"There is $3 an hour in surplus money and we can divide it up and give the employees a 50 cent an hour increase," said the PRWID board member and Helper mayor.
Dalpiaz' suggestion kicked off a conversation about wage fairness and equity for all PRIWID employees.
Board member Richard Tatton said that, if the district were going to do something for one department, PRWID should be trying to do something for everybody.
The discussion went from the immediate surplus to a review of all of the district's wage scales.
Vice chairman Karl Houskeeper said there were inequities in wage levels for several employees whose certifications and qualifications would likely put them in a higher pay scale.
Dalpiaz agreed that the whole pay structure needed to be reviewed but thought that something could still be done with the existing surplus.
"We have the money in wastewater now," said Dalpiaz.
However, trustees were moved to take a more a comprehensive look at the wages as they relate to the upcoming budget process.
Jeffrey Richens, assistant water improvement district manager, had a draft of the proposed wage scales for the trustees' review.
"I brought this for you to look and mark up," said Richens, showing the board members the document.
According to Richens, the wage proposal is a starting point from where all employees can be "rolled up to where they should be."
Guido Rachiele, district clerk, brought the subject home for Carbon County residents.
"The figures (of wage changes) needs to be brought to Kaye Cripps (the district's secretary/treasurer) so she can see how much of an increase in water fees it will require."
As the discussion unfolded, the complexities of making wage changes emerged.
Tatton questioned whether wage adjustments would impact other parts of the budget, such as equipment purchases.
"If we do this, are we sacrificing say a new pickup truck for wages?" asked Tatton.
Dalpiaz responded that a similar situation happens in every year's budget process.
"I don't think we can avoid talking about - what I think is a swear word here - raising fees," said Dalpiaz.
As issue after issue arose, including current surpluses in other departments, the growing consensus at the last PRWID meeting was that the board needed to take the discussion out of the general session and have a dedicated workshop to review wages.
District manager Philip Palmer assured trustees that it would be relatively quick and easy to pull all the information together for their review.
After a bit more discussion, the trustees decided they would gather at a special meeting to do the review and come up with more of a consensus.
The PRWID board of trustees meets today at 4 p.m. at the district office, 265 South Fairgrounds Road.
For additional information on the meeting, residents may contact Richens at 637-6350.

PAWTUCKET – Cumberland High took advantage of a crucial pass interference call with three minutes left in Friday night's game and scored the winning touchdown with 79 seconds left in what became a perilous 14-7 victory over a gallant Shea team that deserved a better fate.
Facing fourth-and-three at Shea's 15-yard line, Cumberland quarterback Tyler Calabro tried to hit wide receiver Joe Marcolini on a short look-in pattern with Shea's Melvin Washington in tight coverage. Both players dove for the ball, which went incomplete. A yellow flag came flying to the ground from the back judge's position and Cumberland's drive was extended, giving the Clippers a first down at Shea's five-yard line.
The Raiders' defense never gave up, forcing Cumberland into fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. Calabro handed off to fullback Joe Fine, who plowed into the end zone for the winning score.
"Every time we play Shea, it's a tough game usually decided by one touchdown," Cumberland coach Chris Skurka admitted. "That's a credit to their players and coaching staff. Those kids play hard and tough football."
Shea coach Dino Campopiano agreed.
"I've never been prouder of this team," he said after watching his Raiders fall to 2-4 in Division II-B. Three of those four losses have come by one score or less.
"It's our power against their speed," Skurka admitted.
Shea couldn't find much offense in the first half and went into intermission down by a 7-0 margin. But the Raiders came out and forced a Cumberland punt, then went on a 50-yard scoring drive capped by quarterback Tyshon Ashe's two-yard run on fourth down. Missing two key players, the Raiders turned to Ashe and Washington to carry the load on offense.
The Raiders only completed one pass all night. They stayed in the game thanks to a hard-hitting defense and a punter, Dylan Mosquera, who routinely changes field position with his 45-yard bombs.
Cumberland, normally a high-scoring team, couldn't sustain a drive after scoring first on a Joe Fine TD run in the first quarter. Once Shea tied the game, the Clippers went on a long drive highlighted by Jared Talbert's one-handed catch of a Calabro pass down the right sideline with Shea defender Diaceya Dorbor in tight coverage. The played ended in a 45-yard gain.
After two Cumberland penalties moved the ball back to midfield, Calabro stuck the ball in his halfback's belly and pulled it out as he read the Shea defender, rushing downfield for 35 yards on a first-and-22 situation. But Calabro hooked a 27-yard field goal attempt left to end that drive with 11:17 left in the fourth quarter.
The rival defenses took over at this point, forcing three punts, before Talbert got a 30-yard return from midfield on Mosquera's final punt of the night. The Clipper returners did a good job all night of catching punts on the fly, depriving Mosquera of even more yardage. Cumberland then went in for the winning score.
The two teams exchanged punts to open the game before Cumberland went off on the only scoring drive of the first half, covering 70 yards in 13 plays, alternating strong running by Mike Stock and Joe Fine with 4-for-4 passing from Calabro.
Calabro hit two short passes to tight end Chris Hayes that moved the ball inside the red zone. Stock and Fine took care of the rest with Fine covering the final five yards for the touchdown. Calabro added the extra point and Cumberland led 7-0 with 2:28 left in the first quarter.
Shea's Melvin Washington returned the ensuing kickoff nearly 50 yards, going down at Cumberland's 41-yard line. The Raiders, behind Ashe, ran for a first down at the 30 before the Clippers' defense blitzed into Shea's backfield and brought down halfback Dorbor for a five-yard loss on second down. A 15-yard penalty on Shea moved the ball back to midfield and the drive ended with a 40-yard punt off the foot of Mosquera.
Cumberland soon punted, giving Shea the ball at midfield. But Ashe threw two incomplete passes and saw his third effort intercepted in the middle of the field by Stock. With a chance to take charge of the game, the Clippers went backwards through a combination of penalties and negative yardage plays, resulting in another punt with three minutes left in the half.
Calabro's punt pinned Shea at its own one-yard line. The Raiders ran eight running plays and got three first downs as time ran out in the first half.
Cumberland will be rooting hard for St. Raphael Academy this afternoon as the 3-2 Saints host the 4-1 North Kingstown Skippers, who hope to get back into a tie for first place with the Clippers. Cumberland will host West Warwick in its league finale next Friday night while Shea will visit North Kingstown.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
"Everyone else is praying for rain. I'm praying for it to stop," Layne Martino told the county commission Wednesday afternoon.
There's a reason for his appeal to Heaven: "I want my house to be there," he explained.
Martino lives near the confluence of Gordon Creek and the Price River. Last Monday, he saw that section of the river and creek rise up after the flood water from a distant cloudburst arrived.
The reason for the rapid rise of the water - and its almost black color - is that there is almost no vegetation left in the Gordon Creek drainage to hold the rain water back, he said.
The recent Seeley Fire wiped out the conifers and in some cases the fire burned away soil protection completely.
Martino and his neighbors are worried, and governments at local, state and federal levels are working on mitigation plans.
Jason Llewelyn, county emergency services director, said the county is working closely with the federal Burned Area Emergency Response team which is already deploying experts in hydrology and soil science to the fire scene to see what can be done quickly.
One alert system already in place is a series of rainfall monitoring stations that can be tied directly to dispatch. When heavy rainfall is deteced, emergency services and homeowners can be notified of the potential for flooding.
Commissioner Mike Milovich told Martino that the county is expecting federal assistance for some mitigation. The situation is complicated, though, because some of the areas needing mitigation are on private property and will have to be handled by the owners.
"The county can be a good neighbor," added Christian Bryner, the commission's attorney, "but there are limits to what can be done. People should not assume that the county can be involved in every situation."
Anything that has to do with altering a stream or river needs a federal 404 permit, and that includes the county or individual property owners.

Somehow I think this post will be futile. Oh well. I guess it doesn't really cause any serious harm if you post agreement here, but then again, if the thread gets to twenty pages full of "Aye aye!" and something real needs to be said or asked about the rules, nobody will notice because everyone will have stopped reading it.
Ha ha. Reminds me of elementary school, where the teacher would say, "Is everyone done with their work?" and everyone who was done would say "YEESSSS!!!!!!" really loudly, as though they were trying to drown out anyone who wasn't done. I eventually started to feel obligated to shout that no, not everyone was done, if there were in fact people who were not done, because otherwise I was afraid they wouldn't get noticed. Sometimes I didn't get noticed when I wasn't done, actually. This brings back painful memories! I HATE YOU ALL! NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME! *runs away and cries*

POTSDAM - For the first time, students entering the fifth grade at AA Kingston were treated to an orientation program to help ease their transition from Lawrence Avenue Elementary to the middle school
Lawrence Avenue School Principal Larry B. Jenne said in the past fourth-grade students spent a day toward the end of the previous school year at the middle school.
Usually at the end of the year, fourth-graders would come up here for kind of a transition day, but it never really worked, Mr. Jenne said.
Enter new AAK Principal Mark Bennett, who comes to Potsdam after serving as principal at Case Middle School in Watertown.
We did something similar in Watertown, he said, adding that rather than an orientation solely for transitioning from elementary to middle school their program was also geared for new students.
In a military community an orientation program is very important, and its similar in a college town, he said.
Mr. Bennett also said that while one would assume the program is designed for the students he said much of the orientation is geared toward easing parental stress.
A lot of this is for the parents rather than the students, he said. Meeting us and knowing we are all here for them alleviates a lot of the anxiety for them, which in turn alleviates a lot of the anxiety for the kids.
The program included a brief introduction from Mr. Jenne, as well as a presentation by Mr. Bennett.
I think this year is going to be a much better transition for you guys, which is good for me as an elementary principal, so Im not worried about you all up here freaking out on the first day, Mr. Jenne said.
Mr. Bennett noted the goal of the orientation was to give everyone a chance to see each other, get some information and have their questions answered. I want you to get those answers before the first day of school, he said.
Mr. Bennett then offered several pieces of advice for the incoming fifth graders.
Once you get to middle school, it gets harder for parents and kids because youll be dealing with more than one teacher, he said, adding middle school also includes study halls.
You should be able to finish your homework if you use your time wisely, he said.
He also encouraged the students to branch out a little bit. Get involved. Theres a lot to do at AAK, he said. Make new friends, branch out. In fourth grade, youre in a class with about 20 kids, but in fifth grade, youll be dealing with about 100 kids.
Finally, he encouraged the students keep a positive outlook and always try their best. Work hard and be enthusiastic. Enjoy what youre doing, he said.
As for the parents, Mr. Bennett encouraged them to sign up for School Tool, a program operated through the districts website that will allow them to monitor their sons or daughters grades.
Five weeks in between progress reports is too long, he said. With School Tool you can see the teachers grade book. If a teacher grades a test at night, you might know your students grade before he or she does.
Guidance counselor Kristen Zender noted one of the keys to student success is school is the involvement of their parents.
The foundation to a great education is what you do at home, she said. When there is more parental involvement in education, children are more successful.
Following the presentation, parents and their students were broken into small groups for a tour of the building led by a student volunteer.
Sadie Brusso and Brittany Martin were among the sixth graders helping out.
A lot of the people going into fifth grade are very good friends of mine, so I figured I would help, Brittany said.
Sadie looked back at her own transition, and both girls said an orientation program would have been a big help to them.
The transition from fourth to fifth grade is really hard and they could use some help, Sadie said.
Ben White is one of the incoming fifth graders, and he said hes not looking forward to the end of summer vacation.
Ill have to do homework, he said, adding hes worried about going to different classes.
In elementary school all of the classes were in the same room, he said.
Shannon Todd is an incoming fifth grader, who wont only be new to the middle school but is also new to Potsdam.
I just moved here from Norwood, she said, adding she has met a few students so far.
When asked if she was looking forward to the first day of school, she said she was. Im excited, but nervous,she added.
One thing she did say she was looking forward to was having a locker of her own, something her friends from Norwood-Norfolk wont get for two more years.
At my old school we wouldnt have switched classes and got a locker with a combination on it until seventh grade.
Shannons mom, Alisha Todd said she was thankful for Wednesdays event.
I think this is great, she said. It helps to see what the expectations of the school are, the layout of the building and it allows us to meet the new principal.

When comedian Tig Notaro found out she had breast cancer, she incorporated the grim news into her stand-up routine -- and got quite a few laughs from the audience. Notaro and neuroscientist Robert Provine discuss the origins of laughter, what separates the amusing from the truly funny, and why even tragedy sometimes gets a laugh.

Credit crunch.
Housing crash.
Debt. Redundancy.
As the recession bites, instinct tells us to hold tight to every penny we've got, and dream of the stuff we can buy when it's over.
But Jesus challenged us not to worry about money, but to think first of the needs of others.
Simplify is a call to discipleship; to examine the spiritual hold money has on our lives by taking a month to consciously spend less and give more.
Join us as we Simplify our lives.

Dear story tellers:
It's what we do that reveals what we believe - who we are - more than what we say.
The future - the end of the story - can be predicted by the past - the beginning of the story - but there's always room for a twist in the middle.
Our choices, more than any other single factor, determine the course our lives take. Will we say yes, or no, to the call to adventure?
It's the compassion of our heart that softens the harshness of our head's view of the world. It's the intelligence of our minds that allows our hearts to move beyond sentiment and take effective action.
All of these 'philosophical' truisms are best taught using the language of stories.
Storytelling is the language that heals the rift between our heads and our hearts. Whatever pain you personally face, whatever pain society faces, storytelling is and has been the language of healing and understanding.
This is part of the reason why today storytelling is the fundamental language that all cultures on the earth can understand.
Apply today and start telling your story!
We are on the quarter system, so you can start almost any time of the year!
Start filming from day one!
Check out a short cut by our students on a trip to Los Angeles with the Art Department.

20 U.S. Code § 1234a - Recovery of funds
(a) Preliminary departmental decision; grounds of determination; notice requirements; prima facie case; amount of funds recoverable
(1) Whenever the Secretary determines that a recipient of a grant or cooperative agreement under an applicable program must return funds because the recipient has made an expenditure of funds that is not allowable under that grant or cooperative agreement, or has otherwise failed to discharge its obligation to account properly for funds under the grant or cooperative agreement, the Secretary shall give the recipient written notice of a preliminary departmental decision and notify the recipient of its right to have that decision reviewed by the Office and of its right to request mediation.
(2) In a preliminary departmental decision, the Secretary shall have the burden of establishing a prima facie case for the recovery of funds, including an analysis reflecting the value of the program services actually obtained in a determination of harm to the Federal interest. The facts to serve as the basis of the preliminary departmental decision may come from an audit report, an investigative report, a monitoring report, or other evidence. The amount of funds to be recovered shall be determined on the basis of section 1234b of this title.
(b) Review of preliminary departmental decision; form and contents of application for review; inadequate preliminary decisions; duties of recipient to subrecipients after preliminary decision; burden of proof
(1) A recipient that has received written notice of a preliminary departmental decision and that desires to have such decision reviewed by the Office shall submit to the Office an application for review not later than 60 days after receipt of notice of the preliminary departmental decision. The application shall be in the form and contain the information specified by the Office. As expeditiously as possible, the Office shall return to the Secretary for such action as the Secretary considers appropriate any preliminary departmental decision which the Office determines does not meet the requirements of subsection (a)(2) of this section.
(2) In cases where the preliminary departmental decision requests a recovery of funds from a State recipient, that State recipient may not recover funds from an affected local educational agency unless that State recipient has—
(A) transmitted a copy of the preliminary departmental decision to any affected subrecipient within 10 days of the date that the State recipient in a State administered program received such written notice; and
(c) Time for hearing
A hearing shall be set 90 days after receipt of a request for review of a preliminary departmental decision by the Office, except that such 90-day requirement may be waived at the discretion of the judge for good cause.
(d) Review of findings of fact in preliminary decision; conclusiveness; remand; new or modified findings
(1) Upon review of a decision of the Office by the Secretary, the findings of fact by the Office, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive. However, the Secretary, for good cause shown, may remand the case to the Office to take further evidence, and the Office may thereupon make new or modified findings of fact and may modify its previous action. Such new or modified findings of fact shall likewise be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.
(e) Time for filing petition for review of preliminary decision
Parties to the proceeding shall have 30 days to file a petition for review of a decision of the administrative law judges with the Office of the Secretary.
(f) Stay of collection or other adverse action by Secretary against recipient
(1) If a recipient submits a timely application for review of a preliminary departmental decision, the Secretary shall take no collection action until the decision of the Office upholding the preliminary Department decision in whole or in part becomes final agency action under subsection (g) of this section.
(2) If a recipient files a timely petition for judicial review under section 1234g of this title, the Secretary shall take no collection action until judicial review is completed.
(g) Preliminary decision as final agency action
A decision of the Office regarding the review of a preliminary departmental decision shall become final agency action 60 days after the recipient receives written notice of the decision unless the Secretary either—
(1) modifies or sets aside the decision, in whole or in part, in which case the decision of the Secretary shall become final agency action when the recipient receives written notice of the Secretary's action, or
(h) Publication of decisions as final agency actions
The Secretary shall publish decisions that have become final agency action under subsection (g) of this section in the Federal Register or in another appropriate publication within 60 days.
(i) Collection amounts and procedures
The amount of a preliminary departmental decision under subsection (a) of this section for which review has not been requested in accordance with subsection (b) of this section, and the amount sustained by a decision of the Office or the Secretary which becomes final agency action under subsection (g) of this section, may be collected by the Secretary in accordance with chapter 37 of title 31.
(j) Compromise of preliminary departmental decisions; preconditions; notice requirements
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary may, subject to the notice requirements of paragraph (2), compromise any preliminary departmental decision under this section which does not exceed the amount agreed to be returned by more than $200,000, if the Secretary determines that
(A) the collection of any or all or the amount thereof would not be practical or in the public interest, and
(B) the practice which resulted in the preliminary departmental decision has been corrected and will not recur.
(2) Not less than 45 days prior to the exercise of the authority to compromise a preliminary departmental decision pursuant to paragraph (1), the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a notice of intention to do so. The notice shall provide interested persons an opportunity to comment on any proposed action under this subsection through the submission of written data, views, or arguments.
(k) Limitation period respecting return of funds
No recipient under an applicable program shall be liable to return funds which were expended in a manner not authorized by law more than 5 years before the recipient received written notice of a preliminary departmental decision.

Her mother said she desperately tried to talk her daughter out of it. "She said, `I know, Mom, but I have to do this ... I want to keep up the family tradition.'" Mary Bosveld said. Bosveld, 19, of Waupun, Wis., died Oct. 26 in an attack at a police station near Baghdad. She was stationed with the military police in Germany. When she first got to Iraq, she was ready to "kick butt," said her father, Marvin Bosveld. But after eight months in the sands of Iraq, barely surviving a roadside ambush and patrolling anti-American riots, she had had enough. "More and more people want us to go home," she wrote to her father. "Believe me, we want to go home." Marvin Bosveld and his former wife, Mary, were foster parents to Rachel who came to them as a neglected baby. The couple adopted her. Craig Bosveld described his sister as an artist who loved to draw forest scenes, play her violin and act in her high school drama club. She hoped one day to become a graphic artist.

Spc. Kamisha Block
Kamisha J. Block attended high school on a mission: to study, graduate and get to the military. She didn't intend on doing it alone. Ever the focused motivator, Block encouraged friends and classmates to move toward the same goal, school registrar LaDonna Clark said. "She was their fire," Clark said. "She said 'I'm not going to graduate until you do,' and pushed them hard." Block, 20, of Vidor, Texas, was killed Aug. 16, 2007 in a friendly fire incident Baghdad. She was a 2005 high school graduate and was assigned to Fort Hood. "Whatever she set her mind to, she could accomplish," said Hollie Stinnett. Block's cousin. "I saw her the day before she left to go to Iraq earlier this year, and she still talked about how she wanted to get into law enforcement once she finished her term in the Army." In high school, he worked at a Waffle House. "Not a customer that ever walked through this door ever saw her with a frown," said Arnette Buck, a co-worker. "She loved people," Block's uncle John Stuckey said. "She was out to help people with whatever she could." She is survived by parents Jerry and Jane. View/Sign Guest Book
Staff Sergeant Alicia Birchett
Wayne T. Jackson, an uncle of Alicia A. Birchett, recently came across a bit of insight into why she joined the Army. Looking at a photo she had given him before she shipped out to Iraq, he discovered a note written on the back that he had not previously noticed: "I am doing this to make you proud." Birchett, 29, of Mashpee, Mass., died Aug. 9 in Baghdad of injuries from a non-combat accident. She was a 1995 high school graduate and was assigned to Fort Campbell. "This one here was a gem," said Robert T. Hendricks, a cousin. "She always put everybody else first." A member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, she enlisted in the Army in 1996 and served five international tours in her 12 years in the Army, including stints in Germany and Korea. "My wife was a strong, loving, giving person," said her husband, Joe Birchett. "She loved to take care of people." She also is survived by three young sons: Joe, Julian and Silas.

Capt. Kimberly N. Hampton
Back in third grade, Kimberly Hampton wrote a paper that described how she had always wanted to fly. "We gave that to her as part of her graduation gift from Army flight school, and I think it pretty much blew her away that she had written such things as that as far back as the third grade," said her father, Dale Hampton. Capt. Hampton, 27, of Easley, S.C., was killed Jan. 2 when the helicopter she was piloting was shot down near Fallujah, Iraq. Hampton, based at Fort Bragg, N.C., was the first female pilot killed in Iraq. An honors graduate from Presbyterian College, she was the battalion commander of the ROTC unit there. Her leadership was clear even before then. In high school, she was president of the student body and captain of the tennis team. Hampton was in her second term of military service, having earlier served in Korea and Afghanistan. She had planned to marry Army Capt. Will Braman when they both returned from Iraq. "She was doing what she enjoyed doing. She was trained well, and she felt it an honor to serve her country," said her mother, Ann. View/Sign Guest Book
Sgt. Keicia M. Hines
Keicia M. Hines was working in the arms room handing out weapons when she met Sean Hines. They married on Christmas Eve in 2001. "We clowned a lot. We had fun, bottom line. I was in love with her," Sean Hines said. The 27-year-old soldier from Citrus Heights, Calif., died after being struck by a vehicle in Mosul, Iraq, on Jan. 14. She was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. Sean Hines said his wife loved the movies and loved to shop. The day before she died, she sent him an e-mail asking him to order some clothes and shoes from a trendy store. In the e-mail she told her husband she was "exhausted and couldn't wait to get home and that she loved me," Sean Hines said. "She was having a difficult time being in Iraq with all the devastation," said her mother, Beverly Coleman of Sacramento, Calif. "I would just tell her to take it one day at a time." On the same day that Coleman learned of her daughter's death, received a package from Hines containing a purse stuffed with beads, money and a note that said "I love you, Mommy." View/Sign Guest Book
Tech Sgt. Jackie L. Larsen
Jackie L. Larsen loved animals, all animals, and had a particularly strong love for coffee. "It was 'guesstimated' that the coffee mug she so lovingly carried held approximately 32 oz.," said colleague Tech. Sgt. Rosalyn Anderson. Larsen, 37, of Tacoma, Wash., died of natural causes July 17 at Balad Air Base. She was assigned to Beale Air Force Base. Larsen, a paralegal and an 18-year Air Force veteran, was the 9th Reconnaissance Wing Legal Office's superintendent, based at Beale Air Force Base. As the legal office superintendent, Larsen managed the general law and military justice divisions, overseeing all aspects of enlisted training in the law center. She also was the principal adviser to the Staff Judge Advocate regarding enlisted matters. "Many people knew Tech. Sgt. Jackie Larsen as a military professional. They would say that she was dedicated, a real 'tough cookie,' and a 'no nonsense' kind of NCO," said Anderson. But she also giggled when she was in a silly mood, was protective of her family and had a love of deep sea diving, she said. She is survived by her husband, Scott. View/Sign Guest Book
Airman 1st Class Elizabeth N. Jacobson
Even in a combat zone, Elizabeth N. Jacobson kept her steady humor. "The room service sucks," she wrote. Asked about her biggest obstacles, she made a short list: sand, guys, waking up, taking a shower when the water is boiling. "She just made everything fun," said Adam Steinhoff, a former boyfriend. "She was always laughing." Jacobson, 21, of Riviera Beach, Fla., was killed Sept. 28 by a roadside bomb outside Safwan. She graduated from an adult-education school in Madera, Calif., and was assigned to Goodfellow Air Force Base. She belonged to the Fresno Playhouse and won a writing contest on Poetry.com before enlisting. She planned to travel the United States with her sisters before returning to Florida, where she hoped for a career in law enforcement. In an e-mail to friends and family, she wrote, "I want to die happy, and have a productive life. I hope nobody wishes I was never born. I hope my kids never tell me they wish I were like their friend's mom. I hope that I make money, but don't end up a workaholic or stuck up." She is survived by her parents, David Jacobson and Marianne Earheart. View/Sign Guest Book
Sgt. Shawna M. Morrison
Before she went to Iraq, Shawna Morrison was understandably worried. Not necessarily about roadside bombs, the insurgency, the heat or the language barrier -- but spiders. Her father, Rick Morrison, said Shawna was most concerned about rumors of creepycrawlies the size of paper plates that could jump 6 feet. "We spent many hours looking for spider spray," he said. "And she never saw one." Rick Morrison said his daughter was a bundle of energy. "She was super. She had a bubbly personality," he said. "She was a person you always wanted to be around. She wore her heart on her sleeve." Shawna Morrison, 26, of Paris. Ill., died Sept. 5 when mortar rounds struck her base on the western outskirts of Baghdad. She was stationed in Paris, Ill. Morrison attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and worked two jobs, one as a waitress and the other as a bartender, to put herself through school. "She's always been very independent," said her father. "She never asked us for a dime from day one when she moved out." Morrison also is survived by her mother, Cindy Morrison. View/Sign Guest Book
Spc. Isela Rubalcava
Isela Rubalcava was known as a joyful person - the kind of woman who could leave boot camp smiling. "She achieved everything she set her heart on," said grandmother Margarita Rubalcava. Rubalcava, of El Paso, Texas, and stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., was killed May 8 in Mosul when a mortar round hit near her. She would have been 26 three days later. She attended the University of Texas at El Paso and Sul Ross State University before joining the Army. "They took a piece of my heart," Ramon Rubalcava said of his daughter. "I only hope this war ends soon, because I don't wish this pain on anyone else." Her cousin Hector Barragan said "she's always been a happy person, always smiling. When she came back from boot camp, she was cheerful and told us about how great it was." Rubalcava was happy again when Barragan last heard from her in an e-mail from Iraq -- this time "because she was going to eventually come home." Survivors include her mother, Maria Isela Rubalcava.

Many participants have shared feedback on their experience following the workshop or a flight. Below are a few excerpts from their letters or e-mails.
"I'd like to thank you for the attention and care you showed me during the workshop. At no time did I feel judged for my fear. Instead I received understanding and help in resolving the vicious circle of my fear of flying."
"To my great surprise, my first flight after the workshop went just fine. This is because I now understand everything that's happening during a flight, all thanks to your workshop."
"This workshop really delivers as promised! My subsequent flight was really enjoyable. Although I felt very stressed at first, I quickly grew confident. The progress I've felt is really amazing."
"I'm no longer worried about the idea of going abroad to sign a contract. This is bliss! … The flight went perfectly, as I put into practice the techniques you taught me during the stress-free flying workshop."
"I took part in the stress-free flying workshop and we spoke on the phone to prepare for my trip to Amsterdam. The trip went great thanks to your advice. I was ecstatic when I arrived in Amsterdam, because it was really a miracle for me to be so relaxed during a flight."
"I traveled to New York with no stress and I was very relaxed during the flight. Everything went great and I owe it all to your team. Now I'll never be afraid to fly again: it's a miracle!"

After TUSD vote: smoke bombs, water balloons, passion
After someone set off a smoke bomb, masks quickly appeared
CREATED Apr 10, 2012 - UPDATED: Apr 11, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Tensions rose as the Tucson Unified School District board drew closer to its Tuesday late night vote on whether to oust the Mexican-American studies director. At one point, the meeting was recessed because the crowd of dozens of MAS program supporters waved signs, handcuffed themselves to each other and chanted inside the board room. The same happened outside, but with several hundred people and smoke bombs and water balloons in the mix.
Those supporters outside watched the meeting projected on a screen. They cheered, listening to the people inside speak to the board in support of the program and its director, Sean Arce, during the public comment period.
When the meeting was recessed because of disruptions inside the board room, crowds gathered around the window to the room.
"Who's education?," they chanted. "Our education!"
Then came time for the vote on whether to let the Arce go. Many expected the passing of the motion, and they booed when it was announced.
"I think it's just wrong what's going on right here," Alexandro Escamilla told KGUN9 News right after the 3-2 vote. "There's a lot of ignorance that is leading the movement against us."
"I'm upset that we have to move forward with what I think is a really short-sighted plan for this district," board member Adelita Grijalva told KGUN9 after the meeting. Other board members left through a back door.
Tensions soon rose. Some people were seen throwing smoke bombs. The remains of a few water balloons were scattered across the street.
KGUN9 doesn't know what started one mob, but it appeared TUSD security got caught up with someone who may have thrown a smoke bomb.
"Let him go. Let him go. Let him go," the crowd chanted.
Officers escorted no one away and later declined to explain what happened.
KGUN9 asked Grijalva after the meeting about the rising tensions. "When you get a lot of people together that are very passionate about what's going on, sometimes tempers flare," she said. "What I understand from people that are out here is they're very upset and I don't blame them. I'm upset too."
The crowd eventually scattered.
"Save your bail money for the fight ahead," one man announced with a megaphone, encouraging people to leave before anyone got into trouble.
Meanwhile, as a result of the meeting, Arce will soon be left without a job.
"What's next?" reported Kevin Keen asked him.
"I'm going to continue my education, finish my PhD work at the U of A, continue to work with the community, organize with the community and make sure we get a board that is representative of the students in our district."

The new Ale House opened at Ravaudage, Winter Park's newest shopping center, on Monday and with all the excitement customers may not have noticed something extra on their tabs-- a 1 percent public user fee charged to Ale House by the developer.
After customers at the new Winter Park Miller's Ale House location became enraged from seeing an extra 1 percent charge on their bill, the restaurant went back on its plan for the extra charge.
Ale House is absorbing the charge after a manager says the company didn't want customers to feel like they were taken advantage of.
But as the shopping center grows, residents may see the fee pop up again with other merchants. The developer said the fee will be used to pay for common areas in the shopping center, like the fountain and maintenance.

Blackberry App World has officially passed the 1 billionth download throughout his career. This is something that the company had hoped to reach for quite some time. it is amazing to see that there application marketplace has grown in such a phenomenal rate over the course of the last few years. The marketplace was first officially launched on April 1, 2009, and it continued to grow wildly in popularity since that time.
Since the application marketplace was first released, the company has continued to grow in Blackberry has become one of the most renowned location to download applications for the Blackberry platform. Although the application marketplace that was put together by the company research in motion is not the biggest by any stretch of the imagination in the mobile industry, it is clear that it continues to grow along with varying amounts of Blackberry devices such as Unlocked Bold 9780, Torch 9800, etc. that we have seen over the course of the last few years. Targeted toward businesses, Blackberry has continued to become one of the world's largest mobile devices and platforms in recent memory. The Apple app store recently passed the 15 million download mark, making it easily the largest store for applications for mobile devices online.
It will be interesting to see how quickly the Blackberry application store will reach 2 billion download mark. The 1 million download mark is a huge milestone for the company, and would really like to reach the 2 million download mark sooner than they have reached the one. The devices are currently bringing in more than 3 million downloads per day, but as research in motion continues to lose market share to other mobile companies, it may be hard for them to keep up. it will be interesting to see how long they can continue to over 3 million downloads per day for their applications for blackberry devices

Continuining where Melos left, i bring you more subtle changes that appear in the new Rules Compendium Essential that i could catch on the first read. (Personal insights underlined in parenthese.)
1. RC 135 Arcana (Detect Magic item seem to have disappeared from the Arcana)
Sense the Presence of Magic:
- DC: hard DC of the creature`s level. The creature automatically succeeds in detecting any source of magical energy within range that is five or more levels lower than it`s level.
2. RC 150 Perception
Find A Hidden Creature: If a creature finds a hidden creature, it might point the hidden creature out to others, resulting in them knowing it`s locatio.
3. RC 214 Making Attacks
Step 6: if the attack power has more than one target, repeat steps 3 through 5 for each of them
4. RC 218 Actions (Before only Blind prevented Flanking based on sight See Low Slash)
Flanking: A creature cannot flank an enemy that it can`t see.
5. RC 235 Conditions (Auto damage not halved anymore. MM or Rain of Steel anyone ?)
Weakened : The creature deals half damage. Two kinds of damage that it deals are not affected, however: ongoing damage and damage that isn`t generated by a attack roll.
6. RC 210 Flying (Any Flying creatures can now make OA and Shift)
Remaining In The Air: A creature does not need to take any particular action to remain aloft, the creature is assumed to be flying as it fights, moves or take other actions. Howerver a flying creature falls the instant it is stunned, unless it can hover. (See below)
7. RC 242 Action
Delay: free action. A creature can take this action only when it`s turn is about to start. End of turn phase is split in two. One part occurs when the creature delays and the second part when it later takes it`s delayed turn.
End of turn when the creature delays: Any effect that it has been sustaining ends. Also effect that last until the end of the creature`s turn now end if they are beneficial to it and it`s allies – they cannot be prolonged by delaying. For instance, if the creature stunned an enemy until the end of it`s next trun, the stunned condition ends as soon as the creature delays.
End of turn after the creature acts: After the creature returns to the initiative order and takes it`s delayed turn, it makes a saving throw it normally at the end of it`s turn. In addition, harmful effect that last until the end of the creature`s turn now end-they cannot be avoided by delaying. For instance, if the creature is weakened until the end of it`s next turn, the weakened condition end only after it acts.
8. RC 243 Escape A Grab or Immobilizing Effect
Against multiple grabbers: if the creature is trying to escape and is grabbed by more than one source at once, the creature makes a single check against the highest of the grab DCs. The DC increase by 2 for each grabber beyond the first, to a maximum increase of 8.
9. RC 247 Ready An Action
Triggering opportunity actions: If a creature readies an action that normally triggers opportunity actions, it triggers them twice: when it readies the action and when it takes the action.
Exemple: if an adventurer readies a ranged attack while adjacent to an enemy, he provokes an opportunity attack from that enemy. If he is still adjacent to an enemy when he makes the ranged attack, he provokes an opportunity attack again.
10. RC 250 Squeeze (Before Squeeze rediuced your space and not your actual size)
Reduce size: When a Large, Huge or Guargantua creature squeezes, it`s size category effectively decrease by one until the squeeze ends. For instance, a Large creature that squeezes is effectively Medium during the squeeze. As it`s size decreases, such a creature is leaving squares, so it might trigger opportunity actions such as opportunity attacks. It cannot reduce it`s size if it`s unable to move.
11. RC 257 Hit Points
Bloodied value: The bloodied value of a typical creature equals one half it`s maximum hit points. A creature is bloodied when it`s current hit points drop to it`s bloodied value or lower. Certain powers and effects only work against a bloodied target or work better against such a target. An object is never considered to be bloodied.
when an unbloodied creature is killed outright, the creature does not become bloodied in the process. It I just dead. This rule means a minion, which has only 1 hit point, is bloodied only if an attacker reduces the minion to 0 hit point but knocks it unconscious instead of killibg it.
12. RC 268 Weapons
Improvised weapons: This category includes anything that was not fashioned as a weapon, but that can be used as one. Exemple includes fists, rocks, chairs and tankards.
Melee: a melee weapon cannot be used with a ranged power or an area power that has the weapon keyword, unless the weapon has the light thrown or heavy thrown property or the weapon is thrown as an improvised ranged weapon.
Ranged: a ranged weapon cannot be used with a melee power or a close power that has the weapon keyword, unless the weapon has the light thrown or heavy thrown property or the weapon is wielded as an improvised melee weapon.
13. RC 273 Weapons
Improvised weapons: When a weapon is used as an improvised weapon, the weapon`s normal characteristics (such as properties, powers, bonuses and critical hit effects) do not apply. For instance, if an adventurer smacks an adjacent monster with his or her magic bow and scores a critical hit, the bow`s critical hit effect does not apply, since the adventurer is using the bow as an improvised melee weapon.
14. RC 308 Glossary (Cause Fear and such compelling Powers aren't still a Force Movement)
Forced Movement: Movement that a creature is compelled to do, specifically a push, pull or a slide. A creature can be moved in other ways, such as through teleportation, but only pushes, pulls and slides are technically forced movement.
15. RC 308 Glossary
Grabbed: While a creature is grabbed, it is immobilized. Maintaining this condition occupies whatever appendage, object or effect the grabber used to initiate the grab. This condition ends immediately on the creature if the grabber is subject to an effect that prevents it from taking actions, or if the creature ends up outside the range of the grabbing power or effect.
16. RC 308 Glossary (Before hover allowed to remain in the air without moving and permitetd OA)
Hover: if a creature can hover, it can remain in the air if it is stunned.
