This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
On This Page
In Microsoft Access 2000, the at sign (@) does not provide special formatting when you use it with the MsgBox function.
The MsgBox function provided by the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor (Vbe6.dll) does not support the formatting provided by the at sign (@).
There are two possible solutions. One solution is to use the MsgBox action in a macro. The other solution is to write a user-defined function that uses the Eval function to call the MsgBox function.
Creating a Macro that Uses the MsgBox Action
Creating the FormattedMsgBox FunctionThe Eval function forces the Visual Basic for Applications expression service to evaluate the MsgBox function separately from Visual Basic Editor, and therefore it is possible to take advantage of at sign formatting. The following example uses a user-defined function named FormattedMsgBox instead of the MsgBox function. To create the FormattedMsgBox function, follow these steps:
More information
In earlier versions of Microsoft Access, you can use the at sign to format portions of the message text in a MsgBox function. When you use two at signs in the text of the MsgBox function, the text delimited by the at sign is separated into three paragraphs in the Message Box, with the first paragraph in bold text.
This functionality is provided by the Visual Basic for Applications library (Vba332.dll) in Microsoft Access 97. With the integration of the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor, Microsoft Access 2000 no longer implements Vba332.dll.

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) calls rural trauma the "neglected disease" of the 21st century. And, in fact, caring for patients in remote areas poses challenges rarely, if ever, encountered by big city providers.
To help improve rural-urban disparities — especially treatment outcomes — the ACS developed the Rural Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC). The course is designed to help providers in rural communities build teams that rapidly and effectively assess, stabilize and transfer trauma patients in areas with difficult terrain and limited resources.
Debra E. (Deb) Horsman, R.N, trauma outreach coordinator for Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus in Rochester, Minn., says the daylong course, which is conducted at a hospital's chosen site, can significantly improve care in low-volume, high-risk settings.
"The course helps providers look at and improve the system while realizing that every piece in that system is important, that every person has a role," she says.
To participate in the course, a rural facility assembles three trauma teams of at least three core members, one of whom — a physician or physician assistant — serves as team leader. Nurses as well as lab techs, EMTs and even janitors can round out the group.
"Emergency medical services providers are invited because they're intimately involved in transporting patients in and out. And in smaller facilities, almost everyone is involved in patient care in one way or another, including janitors," Horsman explains.
It takes about three months from the time of the initial request until the course takes place. In the interim, the requesting hospital fills out a detailed questionnaire that helps Horsman pinpoint the facility's most pressing needs.
Once the logistics are worked out, Horsman assembles a faculty team — usually herself, a trauma surgeon and pediatric expert or flight nurse. Each faculty member pairs with one of the rural teams.
Mayo Clinic covers faculty salaries and the cost of the training manual. The rural facility provides lunch and the course site.
The first four hours of the course cover the basics, including barriers to prompt, effective care.
"We watch videos of things that have gone wrong," Horsman says. "For instance, when you're racing around and the adrenaline is flowing, you think you're working quickly, but in real time, it may take six or eight minutes to do something basic and that's much too long. The point is to see what problems arise when you don't have the proper mechanisms in place."
During the second half of the class, the teams work on different scenarios that help them prepare for a wide range of emergencies — a badly injured pregnant woman, say, or a busload of hurt children.
Response to the class has been positive, especially among facilities that have put the training to use. Just a week after the class, hospitals in Albert Lea and Mankato were faced with an unusual number of critically injured patients. Horsman says, "The feedback we got was that those incidents had much less impact because the teams were in place and everyone knew exactly what to do."
She adds, "Our goal is to help people communicate, and to work effectively as a team. When the helicopter leaves with a patient, we want the team to stand together, knowing they've done a great job, and that those receiving the patient validate the work they've done. After all, as our trauma director says, 'Every life saved in the hospital was first saved in the field.' "
For more information, email Deb Horsman or call 507-255-1844.

Shrimp-Stuffed Shells
Today marks the first day of a semester of regular (non-culinary) college classes for me in over a year. You might recall me mentioning taking a break from culinary school while the program I'm in moves to a new, better building. I'm hoping by the end of December '12 I'll be able to graduate with my bachelor's and finish my culinary degree in a fabulous new facility.
It will be strange to not be studying cooking terms, definitions, and actions. I'm just glad I have this blog to explore new things in the kitchen. Like these Shrimp-Stuffed Shells. I would have never thought to use seafood in a cheesy pasta dish like this but somehow, it works.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Whoever decided seafood and cheese shouldn't go together was so wrong.
Texture: Al dente, saucy, creamy, cheesy, and the shrimp are perfectly cooked.
Ease: Very easy. Stuffing the shells is the most time-consuming part.
Appearance: Baked cheesy goodness.
Pros: A fun twist on a well-known dish.
Cons: None.
Would I make this again? Yes I will.
Shrimp-Stuffed Shells
Yield: 4-5 servings
20 uncooked jumbo pasta shells (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
cooking spray
3 cups marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta shells for 7 minutes, or until almost al dente. Drain well.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese, milk, and pepper, cook, stirring, until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
Place shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss to coat. Add cream cheese mixture to shrimp, toss well.
Divide shrimp mixture evenly among pasta shells. Coat a 13x9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup marinara over bottom of dish. Arrange stuffed shells over marinara, top with remaining 2 cups marinara. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked.

Research InterestsResearch Interests
Dr. Hopkins's research focuses on the study of morphological evolution in the fossil record. She combines species-level phylogenetic analysis with high-resolution biostratigraphy in order to create frameworks for testing hypotheses about the role of geographic variation, ontogenetic variation, and modularity in the evolution of different clades. She also studies the interaction between different measures of diversity and the circumstances under which morphological, taxonomic, and functional diversity are decoupled. She has dabbled in global change biology and paleoecology and remains interested in niche evolution, particularly in its potential association with morphological evolution and speciation. Other recent projects demonstrated pervasive mosaic evolution throughout the fossil record, and explored how decisions made by scientists regarding what traits to measure influence the study of rates and modes of evolution.
Dr. Hopkins's taxonomic interest lies with arthropods. Most of her research focuses on the paleobiology and early evolutionary history of trilobites, but she has also studied variation in extant fiddler crabs. Her research makes use of a variety of quantitative methods, most notably geometric morphometrics. Many projects are specimen based and rely on the extensive use of museum and new field collections. Other projects have made use of community databases, such as the Paleobiology Database. She is active in field work, particularly the Great Basin of the western U.S.

Hosting the Alcohol Safe Party of the Season
By: Erica B. Thom, OCPS II, Stark County Anti-Drug Coalition Manager
This holiday season is a time for both the young and old to enjoy company of
family and friends. Whether you are planning a holiday party, a dinner, an
informal get-together, or a company bash, your role as host is very important.
It's easy to focus on planning a mouth-watering menu, or finding the perfect CD
mix to keep the party going, and overlook what is perhaps your most important
responsibility as host-- ensuring the safety of your guests. If alcohol is being
served, holidays can be especially dangerous because more people celebrate by
over-drinking, making themselves susceptible to alcohol-related problems.

Yoga & Humanity.
How often do we show our humanity?
I often get to help my daughter with her work in New York City. Each time I go, I pack up my yoga mat and together we attend as many classes as our schedule allows. Although I am still in the first year of working out, my daughter has been cross training for many years. She works out with a trainer, runs along the East River and takes yoga religiously.
I am always amazed that she can just throw her hair up, put on her workout gear and look beautiful before, during and after her sweat. I even have a memory of one of her school coaches asking me, "How is it she looks like she just got off the runway instead of the soccer field?" On the other hand, I would never leave the house without hair and makeup done, much less appear in New York City that way. Having my bangs trimmed and done was always key to a good day.
Yoga has changed all that.
My daughter and I arrived at her hot yoga studio in our favorite Lululemon outfits. I had on my new short shorts and matching sports bra, prepared for the intense heat and she had on the same. My daughter had a beautiful braid in her hair and I had on my pony tail with newly trimmed bangs. We were looking good!
The class opened up and as we got into the flows the teacher began to speak about masks and humanity.
Will you show your humanity to another? she asked.
As we practiced, she spoke of how most of us wear a mask during our days, how we present only what we want others to see and how we carefully position the way we present ourselves to the world. She went on to relate this to how we all prepare for yoga by making sure we wear outfits that we feel look good, that our yoga hairdos are just so and by even wearing a little makeup.
She said yoga strips all that away and that we do yoga to remove our masks.
We sweat. We drip on our neighbor. Our hair falls and gets plastered to our temples and foreheads. Our outfits cling to us with perspiration. Maybe we look a little funny in our poses. Maybe we are not looking so good anymore. Maybe none of it matters.
Yoga removes your mask, the teacher said. But do you care? Will you show your humanity to another? Do you dare?
After the class, we stepped outside. Our bodies began to cool in the summer evening's heat now that we were out of the hot studio. There I stood in Union Square in New York City. I was sweaty, my bangs were pinned back and whatever makeup once there now gone.
I felt amazing.
Let me take your picture, my daughter said. Your humanity is showing.
Like elephant yoga on Facebook.

great insight!
I could really relate to this. Great post!!!
great! I like this, was sweet and honest.
Thank you, Maya. Yoga lends itself to honest, I think.
Love the last line! Beautiful.
Kristin, thanks for finding me and thanks for the guidance.
[…] 4. You might make a mistake and totally mess it all up. You are human. Show your students your humanity. […]

Commander Rick Wellesley who attended the November Livery dinner has now moved to another posting and been replaced as Commanding Officer of HMS Argyll by Commander John Kingwell. Our gift of £1000 towards their welfare fund has enabled them to produce a CD, recording their exploits in West Africa which has been distributed to all crew members as well as to our Clerk.
The new Commander has written to the Company expressing a keen interest in maintaining the relationship with the Paviors and in particular the opportunity to continue our Pavior of the Year award.
Unfortunately, there are no plans for the ship to visit the Port of London but in addition to preparing for another six months overseas, HMS Argyll will be in home waters for long enough to visit Swansea, Plymouth and Argyll and Bute. Preparations are in hand for some Paviors to visit the ship later in 2001

For many younger readers, the members of the post-World War II "San Francisco Renaissance," like their cohorts among the Black Mountain poets, are little more than names. Once the poems of Charles Olson, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Creeley, Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan were "required texts." Today, with luck, they might make it into "recommended reading." Posterity winnows ruthlessly, and, rightly or not, the American poets of the 1950s, '60s and '70s who seem to be passing into the canon are largely East Coast folk — elegant Elizabeth Bishop, confessional Robert Lowell, howling Allen Ginsberg, formalist Richard Wilbur and perhaps a half-dozen others.
This makes Lisa Jarnot's biography of Duncan (1919-1988) all the more valuable. Duncan taught briefly at Black Mountain College in North Carolina (and was an admirer of Olson and a friend of Creeley, the two literary figures most associated with the school), but dominated the poetry scene in the Bay Area for much of his adult life. He was gregarious and opinionated, a dazzling nonstop conversationalist, a superb reader of his own work, and a beguiling charmer of men and women. He was also an habitue of used-book shops, searching for studies of antiquity, works of cultural anthropology and psychology, collections of fairy tales and volumes of Jewish mysticism and occult learning.

By Aroha Awarau on 23rd October 2013, in Celebrity, Kiwi celebrities
Rugby league star Kevin Locke is madly in love – and has managed to nab the girl he once admired from a distance.
At high school, the Warriors player was the shortest in his form – his classmate Hannah Mackinven was even taller than him, leaving Kevin (24) too shy to make any moves.
But years later he had transformed into a strapping sports star, and finally had the confidence to approach his teenage crush, when he saw her at an Auckland nightclub.
Hannah (24) is now Kevin's fiancée and mother to their 9-month-old son, Louie. With a huge smile on his face, it's clear that Kevin is ecstatic about reuniting with the girl that nearly got away.
"I thought I'd never come across her again, so when I saw her, I just jumped at the opportunity," he passionately explains about that special moment two years ago.
"We had that history, all those childhood memories, which gave as an instant connection."
Hannah remembered Kevin from Northcote College on Auckland's North Shore, but they hung out in different circles. She was unaware that Kevin had carried a torch for her, and was surprised about the little details he remembered.
"He knew what shoes I wore, the colour and type of school bag I had, and when my dress had raised a bit – because I was getting taller," she explains.
And Kevin states that he isn't at all embarrassed about his recollections.
"When I was telling her that stuff, she looked at me like I was a stalker. But I prefer to look at it as having a very good memory," he laughs.
When the two met again as adults, the Kiwis representative was one of the country's most well-known league players – and Kevin loved that Hannah wasn't aware how successful he was, and also didn't know anything about sports.
"He told me that he was in the Warriors, but I didn't know what that meant. I asked him, "Are they like the All Blacks?" she says with a smile.
Kevin describes their romance as if it was something from the movies. A true ugly duckling tale of how the shy, short boy grows up and sweeps the girl off her feet.
"We should have hooked up at high school, that would have been cool. When we met again, we started to hang out. I eventually asked Hannah if she wanted to take it further and our relationship grew from there."
Although the Auckland lovebirds have been in serious relationships in the past, they say their union is different, and stronger than ever.
"You learn a lot of things along the way," Kevin says. "Other relationships have not been the same. With Hannah, we just had that connection. She made me happy and made me feel special."
Kevin knew that he wanted Hannah to be his wife, and the idea strengthened when the couple became proud parents to Louie.
Months before he popped the question, Kevin gave gentle hints regarding the proposal – asking Hannah what jewellery she liked and the size of her ring finger.
When he eventually asked for her hand in marriage in July, he had the perfect diamond ring that he knew she would adore. But the proposal wasn't the romantic moment that Kevin had meticulously planned.
"I wanted to do something special. I asked Stan Walker if he could sing, serenading us while I proposed to Hannah on the beach. He was keen as," Kevin explains.
"All I needed was to get Hannah to the beach. I got home and asked her to come for lunch, but she didn't want to, saying that we didn't have time because we were moving into a new house. She wasn't taking the bait, so I just ended up proposing then and there… I was holding baby as I got down on one knee," he says.
Hannah had no doubts what her reply would be. "It was a pleasant surprise. I said yes straight away," she recalls.
The couple are planning to walk down the aisle in January – and are looking forward to their big day.
As a sports star in the public eye, Kevin has endured his fair share of drama, on and off the field. There have been various stories in the media, including driving convictions. But he says becoming a father and being in a loving relationship has forced him to mature.
"I've certainly gone through tough times, and I have learned how to work through them. I've come a long way. I want to be a good dad, a role model – not only to my son, but also to other kids."
There has been speculation that Kevin may move to Australia to further his league career, and his future with the Warriors is uncertain, but Kevin says those reports are mere rumours. He's signed with the Auckland club until 2014, and wants to stay loyal to them.
But one thing is for certain – being in love and a doting dad has made him extremely happy.
"Hannah has taught me to be light-hearted. Sometimes I take things too seriously. She has kept me grounded."
Hannah says that she is lucky to have crossed paths with Kevin again, as he has bought joy into her and Louie's lives.
"We are constantly laughing, and I think that laughter and happiness is important to keep a relationship strong – and Kevin gives me all that."

The People's Republic of . . . Shanghai?
Misreading reading scores.
9:14 AM, Dec 3, 2013 • By ETHAN EPSTEIN
We're going to hear a lot in the coming days about how the "Chinese" education system is superior to America's. That's because the results of an international exam were released today, and American students fared predictably poorly. And it was "Asian nations [who] dominated the test," reports the Associated Press. "The top average scores in each subject came from Shanghai, China," says the AP.
But the deck here really is stacked. Shanghai, which bested the entire United States, is not a country. It's one of the wealthiest cities in China, and hardly illustrative of the Chinese education system as a whole. What's more, poor students are excluded form Shanghai's schools because of China's hukou system, which denies access to public services to migrant workers and their children. For a number of reasons, children in more wealthy school districts – and from more wealthy families – tend to achieve higher education outcomes.
If the scores of the students of, say, Scarsdale, New York, or Bethesda, Maryland, or Palo Alto, California, were stacked against Shanghai's, our results would probably look a lot more impressive.

This year's short legislative session produced significant new tax laws dealing with all of Maine's major taxes, as well as increased legislative oversight of Maine Revenue and dynamic fiscal analysis. Below is a brief description of recently enacted Maine tax legislation, with links to the legislation itself. In addition, a bill that makes further changes to Maine's tax appeals process is currently pending before the Appropriations Committee. That bill will be described in a subsequent alert.
Please contact any member of Pierce Atwood's State and Local Tax Group if you have any questions about this legislation or other state and local tax issues. We assist businesses and individuals with all aspects of state and local tax planning, litigation and legislation, and assist clients with economic incentives, credits and unclaimed property issues.
Legislation Highlights
Property Tax
Tree Growth Tax Law Compliance - LD 1138, An Act to Amend the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law and the Open Space Tax Law – Public Law 2011, Chapter 618; LD 1470, An Act to Evaluate the Harvesting of Timber on Land Taxed under the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law – Public Law 2011, Chapter 619
Maine's tree growth tax law, which provides for current use taxation of land used for commercial forestry, came under much legislative scrutiny this year. Two new laws were enacted to deal with this topic, Chapters 618 and 619.
Chapter 618 imposes additional restrictions to be satisfied by owners seeking to classify their property under the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law. Beginning August 1, 2012, when asked to provide evidence of compliance with a forest management and harvest plan, a landowner will be required to attest that the property is being used to grow trees to be harvested for commercial use or for other allowable purposes. The Act creates a multi-step process for notifying a landowner of failure to comply with the Law, and imposes new penalties for such failure. Property eligible for Tree Growth classification under the Law will now be reduced if it has a structure on it or if it is in a shoreland area.
Chapter 618 also amends the Farm and Open Space Tax Law by creating an additional category for "managed forest open space land," which is an area of forest for which the owner has submitted a forest management and harvest plan. Managed forest open space is eligible for an additional 10 percent reduction in value under the alternative valuation method.
Chapter 619 tasks the Director of the Bureau of Forestry with conducting periodic random sampling of land enrolled under the Maine Tree Growth Tax law to ensure compliance with forest management and harvest plans. Furthermore, upon request by a municipal assessor or the State Tax Assessor, the Director of the Bureau of Forestry also must provide assistance in evaluating whether a forest management and harvest plan satisfies the statutory requirements and whether a landowner's harvesting complies with his or her plan.
Sales and Use Tax
Tax-Zapper Crime - LD 1764, An Act to Reduce High-Technology Tax Evasion and Theft – Public Law 2011, Chapter 526
So-called "tax zapper" software has become a major problem in other states and countries. To combat this new form of tax evasion, the Legislature has created a new tax crime related to "automated sales suppression devices" and "phantom-ware," which are software programs that falsify electronic sales records, often through cash registers, to reduce a company's tax obligations. The possession, purchase, or ownership of an automated sales suppression device or phantom-ware is a Class D crime. The manufacture, sale, installation or transfer of these programs is a Class C crime.
Sales Tax Exemption for Positive Airway Pressure Equipment – LD 1903, An Act to Make Additional Supplemental Appropriations and Allocations and to Change to Certain Provisions of the Law for the Fiscal Years Ending June 20, 2012 and June 30, 2013 – Public Laws 2011, Chapter 655
The Legislature has created a new sales and use tax exemption for the sale or lease for personal use of "positive airway pressure equipment," which is respiratory ventilation equipment used primarily in the treatment of sleep apnea.
Sales Tax Exemption of Buses Serving Cruise Ship Passengers - LD 1735, An Act to Promote Jobs in the Motor Coach Industry by Providing a Sales Tax Exemption for Certain Buses –Public Law 2011, Chapter 501
Maine Revenue Services has historically taken the position that Maine's interstate/foreign commerce exemption does not apply to transportation that both begins and ends in Maine. This Act clarifies that buses with a capacity of at least 47 passengers will be exempt from sales tax if providing transportation pursuant to a contract between the bus company and a cruise provider for travelers on an interstate or foreign cruise while the cruise ship is in port.
Tax Committee Review of Maine Revenue Sales and Use Tax Policy Changes - LD 590, An Act to Codify the Review Practice of Certain Changes in the Application of the Sales and Use Tax Law – Public Law 2011, Chapter 503
Over the years, taxpayers have complained about enforcement initiatives or statutory interpretations implemented by Maine Revenue Services in the sales and use tax area that create revenue but have not been subjected to the legislative process. The Legislature has responded to this by enacted Chapter 503.
To assist with legislative oversight, before implementing a significant change in policy, practice or interpretation of the sales and use tax law that would result in additional revenue, Maine Revenue Services must now consult with the Attorney General to determine if the change should be reviewed by the appropriate legislative committee. The committee may then schedule a time for review and discussion of the proposed change.
Prepaid Wireless Fees - LD 1799, An Act Regarding the Collection of Fees for Prepaid Wireless Service – Public Law 2011, Chapter 600
The Act imposes a "prepaid wireless fee," which is the sum of: (1) a state Universal Service Fund fee; (2) a Telecommunications Education Access Fund fee; and (3) the statewide prepaid wireless telecommunications service E-9-1-1 surcharge. The Public Utilities Commission must determine by rule the amount of the state Universal Service Fund fee and the amount of the Telecommunications Education Access Fund fee to be collected from prepaid wireless telecommunications service consumers no later than October 1, 2012. The statewide prepaid wireless E-9-1-1 surcharge is currently imposed at a rate of 45¢ per retail transaction.
The Act further requires a seller of prepaid wireless telecommunications services to collect the prepaid wireless fee from a prepaid wireless consumer for each retail transaction occurring in Maine. The amount of the prepaid wireless fee must be separately stated on an invoice, receipt or similar document that is provided to the prepaid wireless consumer by the seller, when practicable. If not practicable, the seller must make the information regarding the amount of the prepaid wireless fee available to the prepaid wireless consumer in another manner.
Income Tax
S Corporation and Partnership Information Returns – LD 1903, An Act to Make Additional Supplemental Appropriations and Allocations and to Change to Certain Provisions of the Law for the Fiscal Years Ending June 20, 2012 and June 30, 2013 – Public Laws 2011, Chapter 655
The Legislature eases the reporting burden for certain pass-through entities by eliminating the requirement that S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs taxed as partnerships file annual information returns setting forth their shareholders' or partners' respective shares of the corporation's or partnership's income and loss.
Income Tax Conformity - LD 1748, An Act To Conform the Maine Tax Laws for 2011 to the United States Internal Revenue Code – Public Laws 2011, Chapter 530
Maine income tax law "piggybacks" on the Internal Revenue Code. Continuing an annual ritual, the Legislature updated the definition of "Internal Revenue Code" for purposes of the tax laws to the Code as in effect on December 31, 2011, as opposed to December 31, 2010.
Dynamic Fiscal Analysis Pilot - LD 114, Resolve, Directing the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Revenue Services To Develop a Pilot Project for a Tax Simulation Model for State Dynamic Fiscal Analysis, Resolve Chapter 114
Many creative legislative ideas that would spur the economy and produce more overall tax revenue, die in the process for lack of funding because the Legislature uses "static" fiscal analysis. Static fiscal analysis looks only at the first layer of forecasted revenue loss or gain from a legislative proposal but not at the secondary revenue impacts from economic activity that would result from the proposal. On the other hand, dynamic fiscal analysis attempts to measure the impact of overall economic activity that results from legislative changes.
The Legislature has now taken a small step in the direction of dynamic fiscal analysis by directing Maine Revenue Services to undertake a pilot project to develop and evaluate a tax simulation model for estimating the effect a change in the tax laws would have on state tax revenue as well as the impact on overall economic activity that may occur as a result of the tax law change.

Florida Tech Tennis Provides Clinic for Autism Social Skills Program
MELBOURNE, Fla. (Men's and Women's Tennis) – Head coach Bill Macom and several of his men's and women's tennis players held a tennis clinic as part of the Scott Center for Autism Treatment's "Get Fit with FIT (Social Skills) Program" on Wednesday at the Clemente Center.
The Get fit with FIT Program, also known as Social Skills Program, works with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The program offers a place where children can play sports in a supportive environment and make friends. The Scott Center for Autism Treatment also uses the program to work on breaking down barriers to social engagement through fun, engaging activities. The program uses sport as a vehicle for teaching social skills, and the Florida Tech student-athletes serve as models and facilitators.
"It was a very energetic clinic," Coach Macom said. "The kids all had a great time and our team members did an excellent job being instructors. They kept smiles on everyone's faces."
Ten of the men's and women's tennis players took part in the clinic to teach the children different skills from the game of tennis, while also providing a social interaction to help develop the children's social skills.
"We have found that there is a direct correlation between fun and the quality of social interactions—fun leads to learning," Social Skills Program Coordinator Genevieve Marshall said. "The kids love athlete-led sessions, and this means the involvement of FIT student-athletes translates directly to increased learning opportunities for our kids.
"The program would not exist without the support of Bill and the tennis program. The tennis session was a huge success—the kids love tennis. The tennis team did a wonderful job running the session. They were enthusiastic, patient and fostered skill development in kids who may not have ever tried tennis otherwise. We are looking forward to the Aces for Autism Clinic, and can't wait to wrap up our term with another tennis-led session."
The Aces for Autism Clinic will take place on June 15, while a second tennis-run Social Skills Program clinic is scheduled for April 4.
Coach Macom and the tennis program will also be holding a free community tennis clinic this Friday, Jan. 25 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Fee Avenue Courts. The clinic is free and open to the public, ages seven and older.
For more information, contact Bill Macom by phone at 321-674-7181, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Christie on Rutgers' Rice: 'Fire him and let him sue.'
[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ew Jersey governor Chris Christie used his Monday press conference to speak out about the controversy over how Rutgers handled accusations that men's basketball coach Mike Rice abused his players.
Christie defended University president Dr. Robert L. Barchi, who took office last September.
Barchi has said that he did not watch the video showing Rice abusing players when he was alerted to allegations late last year. However, Barchi did fire Rice and athletic director Tim Pernetti after the tape went public. More than 50 faculty members are demanding Barchi's resignation.
"Dr. Barchi made a mistake when he did not ask to see the videotape," Christie said Monday. "He admitted that mistake. That is not a fireable offense."
Earlier today, the school announced that Carl Kirschner would serve as interim athletic director, and that a search committee to find the permanent replacement has been formed.
Kirschner is special counsel for academic programs in the office of the executive vice president for academic affairs. He was dean of Rutgers College for 13 years, and previously served as chair of the athletic department's academic oversight committee.
According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Pernetti will be paid a settlement of more than $1.2 million in return for his resignation. Under the terms of his contract, Rice is entitled to receive more than $1 million.
Christie, whose son Andrew is a baseball player at Princeton, said that he would've handled the situation much differently had he been shown the video.
"Who could actually look at that tape and say you would want to entrust your child to Mike Rice? To me, once you answer that question, there's no other question to ask," Christie said. "I don't care about the legality and the niceties, and I don't even know why they got outside counsel to look at this.
"Fire him, and let him sue and let the courts decide. But get him away from the student athletes.
"That would've been my call on it if I had seen the videotape back in November."

This story was submitted by Dotti – her picture appears in this post. Woof!
I just can't wait to strut my stuff at the Walk 4 Paws—it's like I'm a teenager again, excited to go to prom! Will you be at the Walk this Saturday? I sure hope so – it will be such FUN!!!
Perhaps you've seen my photo. (I'm the one on the top left HERE). Now tell me, am I not the prettiest dog you've ever seen? Okay, so I admit, sometimes those little Cavaliar King Charles dogs are cute, but I, on the other hand, am drop-dead G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S (wow, who knew I could spell so well?!). Look once into my soulful eyes—one is sky blue, the other a light hazel green—and you'll have to agree.
See, I'm just like the Marilyn Monroe of dogs—everyone knows I'm beautiful, but deep down, I'm really just a shy girl looking for someone to love me for who I truly am.
People often don't know this about me, but I enjoy simple things in life: just spending time with my human, chasing after a tennis ball. It's not all diamonds and tiaras for this beauty queen; at heart, I'm just a dog who aims to please.
At Bobbi and the Strays, they know this about me, and that's why they pamper me with attention. Sometimes they even throw the ball for me 100 times in a row. And you know what? I fetch it right back to them each time with a smile on my face, ready for more.
That's why I'm looking forward to the Walk 4 Paws—to maybe meet my Prince Charming and whirl around the grassy park like the belle of the ball. (A girl can always dream, right?!)
IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE: I have such great news to tell you all—just moments after I finished writing my Dog Tale, I was officially adopted by the nicest couple ever! (Talk about a fairytale ending!) Let's hope we can see each other soon at the Walk 4 Paws so I can tell you about my fab new family & fun dog friends, too.
Love, Dotti XOXOXO
P.S. Just keep believing—dreams do come true!!
P.P.S. It is still not too late to register for the 2012 Walk 4 Paws in Alley Pond Park taking place THIS SATURDAY! CLICK HERE for all the info!

Abilene man arrested after allegedly robbing two people in one day
An Abilene man accused of robbing two people in a matter of hours Monday was arrested, according to a statement released Tuesday by the Abilene Police Department.
Steven A. Deleon, 20, was charged in two robberies — one of them of an elderly woman — he is accused of committing Monday evening.
Early that evening, police responded to a robbery call in the 5100 block of South Seventh Street, the statement said. A 71-year-old woman told officers a man distracted her and stole a wallet from her vehicle.
The woman and her disabled husband tried to stop the robber, but the man pushed the elderly woman against the vehicle and fled with the wallet.
About two hours later, police responded to a robbery call in the 1600 block of State Highway 351, where a man had reportedly stolen a purse from a woman.
Police were told that a bystander attempted to stop the robber until the bystander was threatened with a knife. The robber fled again before police arrived. Police later identified the suspect in both robberies as Deleon.
He is charged with one count of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery and is being held at Taylor County Jail in lieu of a $400,000 bail.

WHO: Ellie Goulding
WHAT: Under The Sheets (Jakwob Remix)
WHERE: London
WHY: British pop princesses are somewhat a la mode, anyone bored? Well here's another one for you, but before you judge, take a listen. This is proper pop, it's addictive and brilliant. She's been on Jules Holland, been played lots on the radio, supported Little Boots (yawn) on a UK tour and only played her first gig in London last night, sold out way in advance no less. I love her and I hope you will too, and if you don't you'll have to get used to her as she's sure to be one of the stars of 2010. Her debut single has been remixed brilliantly by Jakwob which is what I present to you here, but watch the video of the original here, as it's also glitteringly wonderful.

"Juniper's threat defense and intelligence services can offer automation, management and scale to help large organizations defend against threats in the network without impeding performance. Juniper is addressing critical aspects of network security and is using its assets to align threat defenses with threat intelligence."
– Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst, ESG
"With the enhancements to the Converged Supercore, Juniper Networks is positioning itself as a thought leader in the service provider routing space, not only by addressing higher capacity requirements, but also by focusing on automation and SDN programmability in order to make service providers' networks more agile and risk adverse. The PTX and MX Series together address key service router requirements in the edge and transit router requirements in the core and metro, which should help maximize cost optimization and service delivery."

"Juniper is focused on delivering high-performance security services that provide for rapid network scale. SRX is also built to optimize productivity in a highly available, always-on cluster with easy, secure access. ESG Lab recently tested the latest release of the Juniper SRX5400, and found that it offered an architectural approach, next-generation IOCs and SPCs, and Express Path, for performance, scale, and security efficacy. This makes the SRX5400 a good candidate for organizations' considering a next-generation data center firewall with strict performance requirements for throughput and latency."
– Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst, ESG
"The proliferation and continuing growth of cloud workloads is driving the need for the next generation of datacenter infrastructure. IDC has found that enterprise and service provider expenditures on infrastructure to deliver cloud services will reach $65 billion in 2017. To accommodate this growing wave of cloud services, datacenter spine switches will have to support 100GbE at high port densities and at scale. At the same time, they will be called upon to feature increasingly sophisticated software capabilities, including programmability, automated management, and advanced analytics. With the release of the QFX10000 line and other key automation and architecture building blocks, Juniper is looking to meet these cloud-driven requirements for brains and brawn in datacenter spine switching."

I can't believe this is being allowed to happen.
A current California bill, AB 499, would "allow a minor who is 12 years of age or older to consent to medical care related to the prevention of a sexually transmitted disease."[1] That is, children as young as 12 will be able to get a Gardasil or other STD vaccine without their parents' knowledge or consent if this bill passes. Disturbingly, North Carolina has a much broader child consent law already on the books: "Any minor may give effective consent . . . for medical health services for the prevention . . . of venereal disease and other [reportable] diseases…"[2] I call these laws "Stealth Vaccine Laws" because they provide for the administration of vaccines without the word "vaccine" or "immunization" appearing in the law. Thus, they may slip under the radar of anti-vaccine activists doing electronic searches for vaccine bills and laws using those terms.
There are serious legal and moral problems with stealth vaccine bills and laws. First, they violate parents' fundamental Constitutional rights. In Troxel v. Granville, 430 U.S. 57 (2000), the U.S. Supreme Court held that "the Constitution permits a State to interfere with the right of parents to rear their children only to prevent harm or potential harm to a child." Troxel requires a "threshold showing of harm" that is lacking in the California bill and North Carolina law. Troxel also tells us that parents are presumed to be fit and to make decisions that are in their children's best interests. So, giving the children of every parent in the state the ability to consent to medical treatment at any time amounts to the state declaring that all parents are unfit regarding those matters to which the children are given authority to consent.
Under Troxel, parents are presumed to be fit unless there is a showing of unfitness. So, child consent laws violate the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, unless they include the requisite "threshold showing of harm." As a practical matter, this means that there must be an emergency, a significant harm or risk of harm before someone may make decisions on behalf of a child without a parent's consent. Medical and other professionals already have this authority. Neither children nor parents have to consent to a child's receiving treatment in a medical emergency where immediate intervention is needed to save the child's life or avert serious harm.

|Ethylene Glycol Inhalation
Health Effects
Ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze in heating and cooling systems, in hydraulic brake fluids, as a solvent in paints and plastics, as a softening agent for cellophane, in inks, synthetic fibers and waxes, etc.
Typically when considering toxicity, we think about ingestion of ethylene glycol - usually as antifreeze. It is a sweet tasting liquid that can be attractive to small animals or children. Its chief hazard is when large quantities are ingested in a single dose. Initially individuals appear to be drunk. Within days they can have heart, lung, and kidney problems that can be quite severe. One hundred ccs (3.3 oz) is considered a lethal human oral dose for humans, although individuals have survived doses of up to 2000 ccs.
It is usually not a skin irritant except in more allergic individuals. Direct contact with the liquid can cause absorption through the skin.
Inhaled poisoning of ethylene glycol usually only occurs when the liquid is heated because at room temperature very little of this liquid vaporizes. It is typically odorless, but when burned gives of acrid and irritant fumes. Chronic very high inhaled exposure has been shown to cause involuntary rapid eye movements, and short losses of consciousness. Typically repeated exposures to the irritant fumes cause eye irritation, headache, throat irritation, and cough. In an investigation where twenty prisoners were accidentally exposed to daily concentrations of 1-26 PPM of aerosolized ethylene glycol their blood levels were detectable, but serious signs of ethylene glycol intoxication were absent. Pharyngeal irritation was common. Headache and low backache were reported occasionally.
Volatilized ethylene glycol has a half life of about a day.
Ethylene glycol in water will biodegrade in about 3 days.
HAZMAT Recommendations: no specific HAZMAT Response recommendation have been proposed for this agent.
No NIOSH Respirator Selection recommendation have been established.
1 PPM = 2.5 mg/m3 the maximum allowable amount over a full work day OSHA standard.

|Ragweed seedling sprouting among lettuce in a raised bed.
We have ragweed just about everywhere that the soil is exposed. That in itself tells me that I need to cover better with mulch! Ragweed isn't a hard weed to remove when it's young. It pulls up very easily. When it gets growing it can be a little more tricky to successfully remove, especially when entrenched in dry clay soil (AKA a brick).
Ragweed is responsible for causing many of the fall allergy problems that so many people have. For that reason (and the yummy taste) I recommend eating local honey! Local honey bees use the pollen of plants around them to make their honey which helps the people who eat the honey develop resistance to the pollen. But since this isn't a health food blog I'll get back to gardening! Ragweed unfortunately gets mixed up with goldenrod because golden rod blooms in magnificent golden colored plumes of flowers each fall right when all the allergies are happening. Goldenrod is insect pollinated and doesn't impact people significantly. Ragweed is wind pollinated and gets everywhere which causes the irritation in you're nose that I'm sure you are quite fond of. ;)
This is one of those cases where what you do (or don't do) now could effect you later. Get the weeds when young and you'll have fewer problems!
