Stephenson County health officials are advising the public to stay current on their vaccinations after noting a significant increase in the number of whooping cough cases in Illinois.
Stephenson County health officials are advising the public to stay current on their vaccinations after noting a significant increase in the number of whooping cough cases in Illinois.
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious disease that is easily spread from person-to-person through coughing and sneezing, states the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
Most people recover from the illness, but there can be severe complications. Pertussis can be a critical illness in children younger than 1 year of age, especially premature babies or those with lung disease, the IDPH states.
County Health Administrator Craig Beintema gave a presentation at Wednesday night's County Board meeting, warning the public of the dangers posed by a recent pertussis outbreak in Illinois. The outbreak has not yet impacted Stephenson County, but Beintema is concerned that this area could eventually be affected.
"We begin to see a lot of these cases occurring when the weather forces us to congregate in areas close to each other," Beintema said Thursday. "This (can be) at parties, receptions, schools, or churches. There are a lot more in-door engagements."
To date in 2010, 813 cases of pertussis have been reported in Illinois, compared to 648 cases at this time in 2009, Beintema said. Of the 813 cases, 152 (19 percent) occurred among infants less than 12 months of age, and 432 (53 percent) occurred in children between the ages of 1 and 18, he said. Roughly half of these cases occurred in the last 90 days, Beintema said.
"When you have half the cases occurring in a three-month period, that's significant," Beintema said. "That's a time when you have kids coming back to school."
In response to the situation, Beintema has forwarded information to local doctors, asking them to be on the lookout for pertussis cases. He is also warning the public to be sure they are immunized against the disease.
Every child should get the pertussis vaccine at 2, 4, 6, and 15 months of age, and another dose at 4 to 6 years of age, the IDPH states. New booster vaccines are also available that offer continued protection against the illness for adolescents and adults.
Adults with routine contact with infants less than 12 months of age should receive a booster dose, the IDPH states.
The County Health Department, located at 10 W. Linden St. in Freeport, offers pertussis vaccinations for the public at a reduced price, Beintema said. The price amounts were not available.
Other Diseases
Beintema's presentation Wednesday also touched on a few other diseases that have been on the rise in Illinois. They include Norovirus, a flu-like illness; and the Typhimurium strain of Salmonella.
According to Beintema, there have been additional Norovirus cases in Stephenson County recently, but this represents a "natural increase" that health officials typically see this time of year. Still, the public should be aware of the illness, and practice good hygiene techniques to avoid exposure, he said.
Page 2 of 2 - With Salmonella, there have been about 26 cases of the Typhimurium strain reported in Illinois so far this year, Beintema said. This is a very high number for such a rare form of the disease, he said. The state typically has about one such case a year, he said.
The 26 cases occurred in a matter of six weeks in nine different Illinois counties this year, not including Stephenson. Beintema speculated that the victims may have consumed a common product that made them ill.
For more information on these diseases or the health department's vaccination program, call (815) 235-8271.

11 September 2013
On 1 October 2013 a new 'China Tourism Law' will come into effect to address practices such as coercive shopping measures, low price and low quality tours.
The law applies to all tourism operators in China for domestic and international travel and contains a number of provisions designed to protect consumers.
The full English text of the China Tourism Law can be found on the official website of China National Tourism Administration: http://en.cnta.gov.cn/html/2013-6/2013-6-4-10-1-12844.html
How does the law address low quality 'shopping tours'?
Article 35 of the law states: "Travel agencies are prohibited from organizing tourism activities and luring tourists with unreasonably low prices, or getting illegitimate gains such as rebates by arranging shopping or providing tourism services that requires additional payment. When organizing and receiving tourists, travel agencies shall not designate specific shopping places, or provide tourism services that require additional payment. However, it does not include circumstances where both sides have agreed or the tourists have requested for such arrangements and no influence is caused on the itinerary of other tourists. In case of any violation to the above two paragraphs, tourists shall have the right to, within thirty (30) days from the end of the travel, require the travel agency to return their purchases and pay the price of the returned purchases on behalf in advance, or refund the payment made for tourism services that require additional payment."
What likely impact will the law have on Chinese inbound tourism for Australia?
Anecdotal feedback from travel agents in China indicates the removal of commissioned shopping activities from itineraries will lead to price increases on Australian package tours. As a result, there is likely to be an impact on inbound group segment in the short run. In discussions with some inbound tour operators, it was raised that Australian destinations where commissioned shopping activities have been more prevalent, such as Queensland and New South Wales, will likely be affected more than destinations such as Tasmania and South Australia. Over the medium and long term, the Law has the potential to deliver benefits to Australian tourism industry as quality of experience would improve for Chinese travellers, resulting in higher yield per visitor.
What is Tourism Australia doing to work with the industry to prepare for the China Tourism Law?
Tourism Australia works closely with all of Australia's State and Territory tourism organisations to engage Aussie Specialists and Premier Aussie Specialist Agencies in China to promote quality itineraries. At the same time, Tourism Australia recently launched a new website dedicated to Chinese travellers, australia.cn, that engages directly with consumers and inspire free and independent travel within Australia. Tourism Australia will also include an update on the China Tourism Law in the upcoming industry briefings in Australia and will continue to communicate any further developments and advice through its weekly newsletter Essentials.
Who can I contact if I have additional questions in regard to the China Tourism Law?
Melanie Crosswell, Manager China & Tourism Quality, Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, at 02 6243 7505
Andy Jiang, Head of Asia Development, Tourism Australia, at 02 9361 1209

GOODBYE TO ALL THATCurated by Lavinia Greenlaw
GOODBYE TO ALL THATCurated by Lavinia Greenlaw
Featuring Ali Smith, Kamila Shamsie, Daniel Kehlmann, Aleš Šteger, Elif Șafak, NoViolet Bulawayo, Erwin Mortimer, Xiaolu Guo, Colm Tóibín, Jeanette Winterson.
You can read all of their contributions online here in the ESSAYS section.
Lavinia Greenlaw, one of Britain's most eminent poets and respected literary figures, invited 10 writers from countries involved in the First World War to respond to the title of Robert Graves' famous book. Each took the poignant phrase 'Goodbye to All That' as a starting point for a personal reflection on the aftermath of war, as well as on the continuing struggle for artistic freedom in the face of conflict in all its forms.
Their written responses to Graves' famous line were published as an anthology by Pushkin Press, and read and discussed at live events in London and Edinburgh. These stories, investigations and essays pay tribute to the spirit of Graves, an artist who remained true to himself in the face of personal trauma and public hostility. You can buy the book here.
Lavinia Greenlaw also hosted an evening on 28 July 2014 at the British Library, with writers Aleš Šteger, Ali Smith, Daniel Kehlmann, Erwin Mortier, Kamila Shamsie, and Xiaolu Guo, who shared thoughts on their essays in Goodbye to All That.
The poet, novelist and classicist Robert Graves fought at the Battle of the Somme alongside his close friend and fellow soldier-poet Siegfried Sassoon. Among the most celebrated writers to emerge from the conflict, his autobiography 'Goodbye to All That', which he described as a 'bitter leave-taking of England', depicts the horror of war and documents the momentous social changes it brought about.

Internal Auditing Supervisors in the United States take home approximately $77K annually on average. Most Internal Auditing Supervisors report high levels of job satisfaction. Men are slightly outnumbered by their female counterparts who answered the questionnaire, who make up a slight majority at 55 percent. Most get medical and dental insurance, and a strong majority get vision plans, too. The numbers in this rundown were provided by PayScale's salary survey participants.

An internal auditing supervisor is the person who is responsible for overseeing the internal auditing department within a firm or organization. This position is one that will primarily work in an office, but light travel is sometimes needed for the job. This is a position which requires a bachelor's degree in an area such as accounting, business, finance, or public administration. Some positions may require a master's degree or additional training in auditing practices and principles. An internal audit supervisor will generally keep traditional daytime office hours, though the position may require overtime or extended hours during particular times of the year.Read More...
An internal audit supervisor is seen as a leader within their organization. This position can entail a variety of responsibilities and duties, depending on their organization. However, some common responsibilities associated with the position include overseeing all audit planning, overseeing all audit reporting, preparing audit reports, communicating audit findings and recommendations to management, reviewing all audit paperwork, overseeing all daily activities of relevant staff, training and developing the audit staff, ensuring accommodation and compliance with various legal standards, developing and modifying work methods and procedures, prioritizing work duties and scheduling, distributing work to various staff, and interpreting all legal provisions.
This is a person who must have a deep knowledge and understanding of the auditing system, as well as the ability to explain it in "everyday terms" to persons unfamiliar with the field. This person should possess expert critical thinking and analytical skills, relevant computer skills, and highly proficient communication skills.
Internal Auditing Supervisors usually report a few specific skills. Those who have experience with Internal Audit, Auditing, and Accounting can expect to be compensated well for these skills. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Accounting.

Clinigen Global Access Programs (GAP):
On behalf of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, we manage essential programs that provide access to critical medicines for physicians and their patients all over the world. But what is a Global Access Program? Known by many terms from 'expanded access' and 'named patient' to 'compassionate use' and 'early access', a global access program enables physicians to access treatments that are not available in their own country for patients with an unmet medical need. Wherever they are, we can deliver treatments quickly, efficiently and, most importantly, ethically.
Clinigen GAP provides a complete solution for our clients, from small niche biotech companies to top 10 pharmaceutical organizations. All of our programs are tailored specifically to meet the needs of patients, our clients and the therapy area involved. Our GAP team has experience of delivering over 100 programs across a wide range of therapy areas and many of our clients would be willing testify to our exceptional levels of service as well as our ability to implement tailored programs. Our GAP team delivers on all necessary aspects of a program, including regulatory, quality, logistics, legal, financial and customer services, all of which are utilized through a dedicated Project Manager, who provides clients with a single point of contact throughout the whole GAP process.
Many companies with development products in speciality areas of high unmet need such as cancer or rare disease choose to consider an Early Access/Named Patient/Compassionate Use Program to run alongside late stage clinical development, enabling patients to access products outside of clinical trials prior to commercial availability. Considering Early Access whilst a product is in development can serve to enhance an asset's value as you are assessing the options available for commercialisation globally.
If the decision has already been taken internally to run an access program or if early access has not even been considered and advice on the environment is needed, Clinigen are willing to work with members either F2F or over a TC to provide guidance on the options available and share our experience of running access programs.

When the legislative session began in January, we asked legislators – including those who represent you and your family – to partner with us to support tax reform and ethics reform, invest in our critical infrastructure needs, and oppose a bonding package that would run up our credit card debt. This followed our fight last year to stop legislators from giving themselves pay raises.
Fortunately, we have had fighters standing with us on tax reform, ethics reform, debt, and legislative pay raises. They deserve praise.
But we have also seen some legislators vote the wrong way or even walk away from taking votes on tough issues. And you deserve to know that, too.
Today, we want to let you know how your legislators voted on the following issues:
- Pay Raises for Legislators
- Tax Hikes
- Ethics Reform
- More Debt
Pay Raises for Legislators
Legislators voting Yes voted themselves a 50% pay raise with your tax dollars.
Tax Hikes
Legislators voting Yes supported one of the largest tax increases South Carolina history.
Ethics Reform
Senators voting No voted FOR ETHICS REFORM that restores the public trust in state government and elected officials by doing away with the practice of legislators investigating themselves. Senators voting Yes voted against ethics reform.
House members voting Yea voted for ethics reform. House members voting Nay voted against ethics reform.
More Debt
Senators voting Aye voted to run up our state's credit card debt by more than $236 million in a year when we already have more than $400 million in additional Revenues coming into Columbia.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Other than a new paint color, there are no major changes for the Ford Escape SUV.
After its complete character overhaul last year, the Ford Escape gets no significant changes for 2014, just a few minor revisions to equipment and packages.
Flaunting not just a new look but a complete character overhaul, the 2013 Ford Escape is even newer than most all-new cars.
There are no major changes for the 2012 model.
The only major change for 2011 is the availability of HD Radio.
For 2010, Ford adds a bevy of new available features not found on any of the Escape's competition. Among the more notable is an integrated blind spot side view mirror, MyKey programmable system, Active Park Assist parallel parking aid, a rear view camera and the SYNC system with Traffic, Direction and Information.
An all-new 2.5-liter and improved 3.0-liter engines result in more power and improved fuel economy. A new six-speed automatic transmission is now standard on all but the base XLS.
Compact SUV buyers don't lack for choices, so it's telling that so many continue to flock to a new Ford Escape. Like many of its competitors, the 2016 Ford Escape offers 5-passenger seating and a healthy dose of utility, but it does it with an added measure of style, engine options and high technology that many of its competitors can't touch. Beyond a choice of two different turbocharged engines – one of which puts out 240 horsepower – there are high-tech features like a tailgate that's activated by simply waving your foot under the rear bumper. While other compact SUV models cost less, and others offer more interior space or better fuel economy, the 2016 Escape continues to cover all the bases.

Inventive and bold, Jesus, You Know will especially resonate with people, like this critic, whose strict Catholic upbringing (some might call it brainwashing) inalterably shaped their lives.
Tells the truth where it counts most: in its unblinking exploration of one of the most private of human experiences.
If watching devout churchgoers pray to Jesus before a static camera sounds like the dullest idea ever for a documentary, think again: This might be the most fun you've ever had in church.
Whatever blend of fact and fiction is really at work in this latest offering from ''Dog Days" director Ulrich Seidl -- known, by the way, for playing fast and loose with the documentary format -- the irony-laced ''Jesus, You Know" does persuade viewers to sit up and take notice of its inspired conceit.
Visually glorious and sometimes moving, but comes coated with a thick hoarfrost of irony.

Franklin pediatrician Mark Weinreb loses license after inappropriate prescription practices
The Franklin pediatrician accused of inappropriately prescribing medications to patients and their parents and behaving unprofessionally on Facebook agreed last month not to practice medicine in New Hampshire for at least five years.
In an agreement released Monday, Mark Weinreb voluntarily surrendered the state medical license he held for more than 17 years.
The board of medicine declared Weinreb prescribed excessive amounts of narcotics without documenting his medical rationale, and repeatedly refilled narcotic prescriptions without examining patients, including issuing refills even when patients failed to show up for appointments.
He continued prescribing narcotics for patients even after other physicians expressed concern about their use of the drugs, and even after it was reported their parents filled the prescriptions at numerous pharmacies and paid cash, "all signs of possible abuse," the board wrote.
The board also found that Weinreb prescribed drugs for a parent of a patient and failed to document numerous prescriptions for a pair of brothers, whose mother was a friend of his.
Weinreb could not be reached for comment, but in January, when the board issued an initial suspension of his license, he told the Monitor he disputed the allegation that he prescribed the boys so much oxycodone that if taken as prescribed, the dosages would have been lethal.
In one case, the board accused him of prescribing more than 2,000 oxycodone pills over an 11-month period; the second patient was prescribed more than 1,200 pills over 10 months. If there were extra pills, the mother of the two patients "was getting rid of them," Weinreb told the Monitor.
He also said in January the complaints against him were retaliation from the family of a patient against whom he filed a restraining order after she sent him a threatening message on Facebook.
Weinreb said he didn't think it was inappropriate to be Facebook friends with his patients, despite the board's allegation that it violated professional conduct standards.
He said that he maintained the connections to "find out the best way to help them."
"I use Facebook as more of a tool, what they were doing, who they were dating," he said.
But his digital connections with patients and their families broke appropriate boundaries, the board wrote, especially when, in the case in question, he refused to fill the patient's prescription until she apologized.
Her mother then complained about Weinreb to her daughter's pediatric psychiatrist, who contacted the board of medicine.
According to the agreement with the board of medicine, more than one complaint was filed.
A child psychiatrist contacted the board in December 2011 to raise concerns about Weinreb's prescribing practices for five patients. Then, in April of this year, an emergency room physician filed a complaint voicing concern about Weinreb over-medicating a 5-year-old patient.
To reapply for his license, Weinreb must participate in a comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment, including a review of his mental and physical health records beginning Jan. 1, 2011, and comply with all recommendations from the evaluation, including ongoing counseling.

The Tosa All-City Read isn't just for adults, and Carole Barrowman will prove it in the upcoming weeks.
Barrowman is the author of "Hollow Earth," the book selected by the Wauwatosa Neighborhood Association Council to be read by children alongside the adult book "Rocket Boys." She will be touring every public elementary and a few private schools until the end of February to talk about monsters, art and the power of imagination.
The two protagonists of "Hollow Earth" have one super power: their imaginations. They can transport themselves into paintings or make their paintings come alive. They frequently paint themselves into historic images and deal with imaginary beasts. The themes of middle-age history, art, writing and the power of imagination are paramount to Barrowman's presentations.
Art and fantasy
On the goal of her presentations, Barrowman said, "I want them to see that the art is alive, and they create the meaning for a piece of art and when they create a painting it's not just flat on the surface, it's multidimensional."
During the book talk, she will ask students what a bestiary is, what they know about ancient paintings and about the artists that painted them. At the end, she'll ask students to come up with their own monsters.
Barrowman gets the biggest kick out of her presentations when students understand the references to paintings and painters in her stories.
For Jenny Keats, Underwood Elementary School principal, the opportunity to have the Tosa All-City Read author visit is practical. She said she was happy that the students will be exposed to a local, professional author and that they will discuss art.
She added that beyond the artistic exposure, the students will gain a sense of community.
"I hope they understand our community is invested in literacy and the enjoyment of reading, and possibly even this might be the inspiration to our students to become authors themselves some day," Keats added.
Students will be given a flier about purchasing "Hollow Earth." While she isn't planning on conducting book signings at any of the schools, Barrowman will sign each copy purchased through the flier.
Born of imagination
The idea behind "Hollow Earth" came when Barrowman and her brother and co-author, John Barrowman, took a midnight drive from London to Cardiff, Wales.
The trip was long and Carole Barrowman was worried about falling asleep on the ride, so she came prepared. She brought a huge bag of a gummy candy.
The two, manic from sleep deprivation and experiencing a sugar rush, started odd conversations during their two-hour drive. The topic eventually came to what kind of super power they'd want. They went through the basic powers such as flying and invisibility until they came upon the power of imagination.
Carole Barrowman, sensing they were onto something, started recording the conversation. Before they were at Cardiff, they had the rough draft of the entire three-story series laid out.
After some workshops involving feedback from children, Barrowman had penned "Hollow Earth."

Jay Leno appears as a guest on Letterman's show in this undated photo. / AP Photo
Before he became famous for "stupid pet tricks" and top-ten lists on late-night network television, David Letterman was honing his peculiar sense of humor at radio and TV stations in Indianapolis.
David Michael Letterman was born on April 12, 1947 in Indianapolis to Harry Letterman, a florist, and Dorothy, a church secretary.
He went to School 55 and then to Broad Ripple High School and worked as a stock boy at Atlas Supermarket.
After graduating from high school in 1965 he studied radio and television at Ball State University, where he earned a B.A. in telecommunications in 1969.
He worked at several radio stations in the Indianapolis area and then on television as an anchor and weatherman for WTHR (Channel 13). He also hosted both a children's show called Clover Power which featured 4-H members and a late-night movie show which he called Freeze-Dried Movies where he performed stunts such as blowing up a cardboard replica of the television station at the close of the show.
After four years in local television and radio Letterman realized he needed a larger audience in order to find a place for his brand of comedy. In 1975 Letterman moved to Los Angeles where he worked at The Comedy Store and wrote material for sitcoms including Good Times.
His big break came when he began appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson whom he has since referred to as his mentor. In 1978, he became Carson's regular guest host, and in 1980, he was offered his own show, the daytime David Letterman Show.
The show was a critical smash but lasted only three months due to poor ratings. Still, it led NBC to give Letterman a late night show of his own to follow The Tonight Show.
Late Night with David Letterman premiered on Feb. 1, 1982 and soon became popular with a young audience. His signature features include The Top Ten List, Stupid Pet Tricks, Stupid Human Tricks, Viewer Mail and pencils tossed at the camera and the set behind him, 'breaking' the non-existent glass with a cued crash sound.
NBC chose Jay Leno as the replacement for the retiring Johnny Carson, a position Letterman had wanted. In 1993 Letterman moved to CBS with a lucrative deal to host The Late Show with David Letterman, to air opposite The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The head-to-head competition between Leno and Letterman for Carson's' job spawned a book and cable movie documenting the late-night talk show "wars."
In March 2002, ABC tried to lure Letterman, whose contract was due to expire in August, to take over Ted Koppel's Nightline time slot. Letterman announced on his program March 11 that he would be staying at CBS. He not only turned down ABC, he took the opportunity to chide the network by lavishly praising Koppel.
Letterman was married, to Michelle Cook, from 1969-1977.
Letterman married longtime partner Regina Lasko in 2009. They have a son, Harry, who was born in 2003.
September 7, 2007, Letterman returned to alma mater Ball State University, for the dedication of the David Letterman Communication and Media Building named in his honor for his dedication to the university.
Letterman is co-owner and founder of Worldwide Pants (a production company). He has received several Emmys for both for his writing and for his talk show hosting duties.
1967: As a radio/TV major at Ball State University, Letterman runs into trouble with his humor on the campus radio station. University officials are outraged when he introduces the classical number Clair de Lune with, "You remember the de Lune sisters. There was Clair, and there was Mabel."
1969: He graduates from Ball State and takes a full-time job at what later became WTHR (Channel 13) in Indianapolis. At different times he serves as host of a Saturday morning children's show and a late-night movie show, anchors the news and does the weather.
1974: Letterman is host of a radio talk show at WNTS-AM (1590), an early experiment in news/talk.
1975: Loading up his red pickup truck, Letterman moves to Los Angeles to do stand-up comedy and write. He sells material to Good Times, The Paul Lynde Comedy Hour and a Bob Hope special.
1977: Writing for NBC's summer variety series The Starland Vocal Band Show, Letterman begins making on-camera appearances.
1978: Appears as a regular (with future Batman star Michael Keaton) on Mary Tyler Moore's CBS variety show, Mary. The show is canceled after three telecasts.
1978: Letterman's big break comes while doing his stand-up on NBC's The Tonight Show on Nov. 24. An appreciative Johnny Carson invites him back as a guest 22 times and as a guest host 50 times.
1980: NBC signs Letterman for a daytime talk show that premieres in June. Housewives don't know what to make of his smart-alecky camp humor, and the show is canceled after three months. But Letterman wins his first Emmys for best host of and best writing for a daytime variety series.
1982: In February, NBC's Late Night With David Letterman premieres.
1991: NBC bypasses Letterman when picking Jay Leno to replace the retiring Carson as host of The Tonight Show.
1992: Late Night is honored with television's most prestigious award - The George Foster Peabody Award.
1993: Letterman accepts the CBS offer in January.
2002: Letterman decides to stay with CBS, turning down an offer from ABC to takeover the Nightline time slot.
2012: Letterman is bestowed a Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture through the performing arts.

Pine-Richland baseball coach Wolfe earns Courage Award
TribLIVE Sports Videos
When it comes to persisting, overcoming and conquering, not many can compare to Pine-Richland baseball skipper Kurt Wolfe.
Wolfe has filled his sports résumé with WPIAL championships, a PIAA title and several student-athletes who continued their athletic careers in college.
Wolfe battled stage IV colorectal cancer prior to the 2010 baseball season. Despite intense treatments, the coach promised his players he would not miss a game. Wolfe not only kept that promise but guided the Rams to a WPIAL championship that season.
The coach's willingness to put his players before himself set an example of unselfishness that is one of the rudimentary values of the program. In 2012, Wolfe's players banded together as a group known as the Wolfe Pack, a group that donates time and serves the community as well as assisting youth baseball programs in the area.
Now enjoying good health, Wolfe is more than a teacher, coach, mentor and member of the community. He represents hope.
For everything he has done, Wolfe was honored with an invitation to be inducted into the WPIAL Hall of Fame this summer. He also will receive the Courage Award, an honor that remembers former Freedom High school athlete John Challis, who lost his battle with cancer.
"I am very humbled to be mentioned and honored for this award created for John Challis," Wolfe said. "I never thought about (being honored). I thought I was doing the right thing by not quitting on these young men. It ended up they helped me more than I helped them — they helped me get through the chemo, the crappy feeling. They ended up being great medicine for me."
The championships are nice, but Wolfe is most proud of the Wolfe Pack and how the group has given back.
"It shows selflessness and helps them realize how blessed they are for all they have," Wolfe said.
One thing that stuck out to Wolfe was a letter he received from a woman from the Big Blue Quest, an organization that raises awareness for colon and rectal cancer, in regard to the Wolfe Pack.
"The letter talked about what great young men they are and the (positive) way they carried themselves," Wolfe said. "Those are the things I like to hear about — that is what makes me proud."
Wolfe will be honored at a banquet June 7.

Jerry Jones on Rob Ryan: 'He's outstanding with his demeanor around football'
Since the Dallas Cowboys have muzzled new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan while at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., we'll let owner-general manager Jerry Jones have his say on the hire.
To no surprise, Jones likes Ryan.
"He's outstanding with his demeanor around football," Jones said. "I think it's a positive for players and I think it's a positive for the people on his staff and around the team, just his personality his demeanor and the fact he literally has grown up around football and spent a lot of time around pro football, all of that is very positive."
Jones said that Ryan has done a lot with a little as defensive coordinator with Oakland and Cleveland. According to Jones, head coach Jason Garrett took that into account when making the hire.
"I've been impressed with how he (Ryan) has done with what he's had to work with, where he's been," Jones said. "Sometimes those stats don't tell it all one way or the other on how your defense is ranked unless you get in and look at what the circumstances are and I know Jason did that and spent a lot of time."
In another expected development, Jones said he is pleased with the manner in which Garrett has put together his staff.
"I really want to compliment the process, that Jason as head coach has been going through to put this staff together," Jones said. "It's no less as impressive as I thought it would be. He's doing a great job."

Overview by Prof. Steven Bruns
Each of Mahler's symphonies has elicited widely divergent critical responses, but none has been heard in so many different ways as Symphony No. 7. Biographer Henry-Louis de la Grange considers the work to be Mahler's most "advanced;' with "incessant dissonances and sudden modulations packed tightly together" (
Gustav Mahler, Vol. 3, Vienna: Triumph & Disillusion
, Oxford 1999: p. 847). On the other hand, British Mahler enthusiast Tony Duggan hears the piece as Mahler "in a relaxed holiday mood-the least complicated of all his symphonies." One gets a sense of the range of opinions by reading the essays collected in editor James Zychowicz's
The Seventh Symphony of Gustav Mahler: A Symposium
(Univ. of Cincinnati, 1990). For those interested in exploring the symphony before the January performances, Zychowicz's anthology is highly recommended, as is de la Grange's detailed analysis in the volume cited above (pp. 842-888).
Mahler began composition of the Seventh with the two famous "Night Music" movements that stand on either side of the central Scherzo ("Schattenhaft"). As numerous writers have pointed out, these three "intermezzi" explore the fantastical nocturnal world that had captivated the German romantics (Alma Mahler writes of the "Eichendorffian visions" that had inspired her husband). In the second "Nachtmusik" movement, Mahler includes extraordinary solo guitar and mandolin parts, and those instruments take on a kind of symbolic significance in the work. Flanking the three "night" movements are the darkly eloquent opening movement ("Langsam") — with its aria-like tenor horn solo — and, in de la Grange's words, the "endlessly fascinating and often disconcerting" Rondo-Finale.
In pairing the
Meistersinger Prelude
with Symphony No. 7, we are following Mahler's program when he last conducted the Seventh. Perhaps this was the composer's way of acknowledging the allusion, near the beginning of the last movement, to the initial chorale phrase from Wagner's opera. Might Mahler have intended further links? In
Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg
, Wagner presents characters discoursing on the art of singing — it is Wagner's opera
opera. Theodor Adorno once characterized much 20th-century music as "music
music." and Mahler's Seventh often strikes one as a kind of self-reflective, at times ironic, symphony about "the symphony." The piece calls into question many of our expectations about symphonic form, content, instrumentation, and so forth. The use of guitar and mandolin in Mahler calls to mind Beckmesser's botched lute song in the final scene of Wagner's
Die Meistersinger
. Just as Wagner satirizes the conventions of pedantically proper singing, Mahler's Serenade is at once sincerely amorous and wryly ironic. The interval of the perfect fourth has special significance throughout Wagner's opera, and the fourth is motivic in Mahler's Seventh as well. Finally, Mahler was surely referring to the sunny C Major of Wagner's
Die Meistersinger
in his strategic use of that tonality in the Seventh, especially during the closing measures.
As is always the case with Mahler's symphonies, the Seventh is overflowing with musical riches. However one chooses to hear this magnificent composition, we're confident that after hearing Robert Olson lead the MahIerFest orchestra in January, you'll agree with Tony Duggan's enthusiasm for Symphony No. 7: "I love it, by the way, because I think it's a symphony that you can really love all the way through!"

Resource optimization and economies of scale with 4G LTE
As public safety budgets are slashed, training programs cut back, and in some cases fire and police agencies being shut down entirely, many municipalities are approaching a breaking point. The good news in this scenario is that strategic application of attention and resources toward deploying mission-critical public safety mobile broadband can enable solutions that address those issues for many years to come.
"We're going to be able to catch perpetrators before they reoffend. We're going to be able to better supervise people out on parole. Nowadays in California, if you have a parolee and you don't have adequate state funds to supervise them, you have an ankle bracelet on them. Well, that is something we'd be able to track over a public safety broadband network. All of a sudden, if you have a sexual assault in the community you can bring up the ankle bracelets in that area, and you can determine with GPS coordinates if any of those devices were there in the area of the crime at the time."
Interoperability is Crucial
Parow says also that in today's economic climate, it has become imperative that all the public safety disciplines work efficiently together. To do otherwise can not only cost money, it can cost lives.
"Today, the fire service is not just about fire," says Parow. "We usually have a shared command post and we have police, fire, department of public works, emergency management people, and others who come to any sort of large-scale call you have right now. To be able to have all public safety talk with each other on one radio instead of the six radios that I have in my command vehicle right now, it just so much more efficient."
"You're not just talking about public safety communications — you're talking about the way we do business, the way we live," says Chief Moore.
More Capability Equals Time and Money Saved
"Cell phones aren't considered mission-critical equipment, but the next thing I know after I sent him around back, my phone is making a funny noise in my pocket — telling me I have a text message. I look at it and it was from my deputy. He had taken a picture of the back of the building and he said, 'Here's what you have.' There's no reason he couldn't have sent me video—he just chose to send me a picture — but that's what we're talking about when we talk about the future of this stuff. We're talking about communicating with somebody in a remote command post nearby. I'm talking about when you have a HAZMAT team responding on scene and sending real-time, live streaming video to someone across the country at EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in Washington DC. The head of operations can just send streaming video back to show them exactly what's going on. That's where we're headed. If you look at the technology in the private sector, a lot of it is already there."
Chief Moore argues that with the right communications technology in place you can do things quickly that otherwise would be incredibly time consuming. Moore offers the example of a traffic stop in which the driver possesses no identification documents, and appears to be providing a false name. The driver says he has a license, but there's no record of it under the name he's provided. Each time he's asked his date of birth, he gives a different answer. He's trying to conceal his identity, and the officer doesn't know why.
"The only way you're going to find out why they're lying to you is to take them down to the station—that's a three-hour proposition for a traffic citation but you don't know what you don't know. You can associate a cost with that.
"Now, with mobile identification and broadband," Moore continues, "you take a thumbprint or a thumb-plus-one, and within a matter of 45 seconds you've identified this person, run them to determine if they have warrants, and you're done. Now, think about the countless number of times this scenario happens. You take that three-hour period of time you just saved and multiply that by the number of actual incidents like it, and you're talking tens of millions of dollars saved."
The Time is Now
Chief Moore says, "The time is now. If public safety doesn't jump on board, the cost factor is going to be two or three times higher. If we're able to get devices manufactured that have the same chipsets, the cost-per-device goes down significantly. If we wait it's only going to cost us more. It's inevitable that we'll have this technology."

The Story of the Book of Ruth
Excerpted with the permission of CCAR Press from The Five Scrolls: Hebrew Texts, English Translations, Introductions and New Liturgies, Herbert N. Bronstein and Albert H. Friedlander, eds.
A "Nightingale Song"
Ruth is the nightingale song of love and trust in our tradition. Out of the biblical text, there rises a lyrical tale told to perfection, simplicity blending with profound meaning. A song moves through the lives presented in the text.
Perhaps the self‑same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn . . .
(John Keats, Ode to a Nightingale, st. 6)
Perhaps the greatest line in Keats' poetry, though not the most accurate one, it does bring us into the heart of an experience which still dominates our covenant of marriage, our treatment of strangers, our reception of proselytes. Ruth is a book for all times, whether written in post‑exilic days or based upon very old oral traditions. It is set in the time of the judges–not the best ones, if we assign it to the period of Gideon and Samson–and it attempts to define the rights of widows and aliens within a society fallen upon hard times.
The Book of Leviticus comes to life here, with its injunctions to leave part of the harvest for the needy, and with all of its concern and compassion for the underprivileged within the society. The text contains complexities; yet these fade away against the simple message of a Divine plan fulfilling itself among decent people: Ruth, Naomi and Boaz all occupy the stage in turn, and God's purpose is fulfilled through their actions.
We read the Scroll of Ruth on Shavuot, the time of the Giving of the Law. The authority for this is found in Soferim (xiv, 3‑5) an eighth-century Palestinian text; and the rabbis find many reasons why Ruth and Shavuot are linked: harvest time, the Giving of the Torah and its acceptance as we see it in the life of Ruth and David, the offspring of Ruth, who died on Shavuot; and it is a happy book for a season of joy.

Alas, it's a shared roof deck — so it's not clear that a famous resident like Justice Sotomayor would want to spend a lot of time out here, rubbing shoulders with the hoi polloi. But it certainly looks nice enough, with views that are perfectly pleasant, if not spectacular (no great D.C. landmarks):
And it's huge. Could the Wise Latina reserve it for a rooftop law clerk reunion?
Congratulations to Justice Sotomayor on her lovely and tasteful new home. She has come a long way from the housing projects of the Bronx. At the same time, by choosing to live in an apartment building in the U Street corridor — as opposed to a private home in Georgetown, McLean, or Chevy Chase, where her fellow justices reside — the Wise Latina is keeping it real.
So don't be fooled by the robes that she's got. She is still Sonia from the Block!

Utah football: Utes add another QB to roster
The Utah Utes are hopeful Travis Wilson will be back on the field for the 2014 season with the news that Wilson has been cleared to participate in non-contact drills in the spring, but the latest development hasn't prevented them from adding to their backup plan.
The Utes have announced they have signed Kendal Thompson, who is expected to graduate from Oklahoma in May.
Thompson, who was recruited by new offensive coordinator Dave Christensen, should be eligible to play right away for the Utes.
The 6-foot-1, 199-pound Thompson played in two games in 2013, going 4 of 13 for 64 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The son of former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson, Kendal decided to transfer after losing the starting job to Trevor Knight.
Thompson redshirted in 2011 and did not play in 2012.

Eight down days for holidays and lower grades due to increased production of mine development.
Higher grades now being processed and a 42% increase in production y/o/y.The sky is falling.
Shafter is fully able to process at a rate of 1,000 tpd now.
We just got off the phone with the company and can report some good outcome that will help clear the picture a bit in regards to our newsletter sent out earlier today.
Highlights from our talk:* Lower Q4 production due to shorter number of working days * Mine development caused lower grades * Recovery came in at 77.7% (vs. 74.5% in Q3) * 2012 production is up 42% vs 2011 Aurcana had 7-8 less production days in Q4 (due to holidays) which caused the lower production. This is expected to be a one-time event. Mine development has been required in order to allow for an increase in production, so lower grade that was already on the way was processed. Recovery increased and came in at 77.7% (74.5% in Q3). For Q1, the production numbers at La Negra already looks much better. At Shafter, 600-700 tpd is expected for the first quarter and perhaps 1-2 months in to second quarter, but on a sidenote we can mention that 1,000 tons in one day were mined recently (not processed) at a grade of 8 oz/t, so improvements are ongoing. Once the filter presses are installed and tuned in, production will increse. Production will gradually expand until full capacity is reached by year-end (1,500 tpd).

Remember the only rule is no bumping. Cheeto guys are welcomed.
Ally how do I get another letdown? I let him est as long as he wants but he just gets so flustered.
I'm not reading all 33 pages but I am here...so the fun can begin :P
My son got 2 of the same toy this past week for his bday. So we took it back for something else. One of the new toys he picked out was a drum set. WTF was I thinking..lol
Ally-OMG look at those cheeks!! She is so freaking adorable!!
You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!
I'm a bitch. It worked for me in high school and it's been a reflex ever since.

If men were meant to have foreskin they would be born with it.
It sounds like yes he wants another letdown but he doesn't want to have to work for it. You can make it easier for him by doing warm compresses (www.lansinoh.com/products/therapearl - these are amazballs for that, you can get them at target, super cheap). You can also try holding your hand at the back of his neck and gently forcing him to stay on. If he were to struggle too much you obviously let go, but sometimes just the knowing they can't pull back off since your hand is there, they won't.

Ashley - I letdown again if I wait or nurse long enough. But it sounds like overall he's frustrated because of supply or flow.

|Patient data management systems in intensive care--the situation in Europe.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8847425 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Computerized Patient Data Management Systems (PDMS) have been developed for handling the enormous increase in data collection in ICUs. This study tries to evaluate the functionality of such systems installed in Europe. DESIGN: Criteria reflecting usefulness and practicality formed the basis of a questionnaire to be answered accurately by the vendors. We then examined functions provided and their implementation in European ICUs. Next, an "Information Delivery Test" evaluated variations in performance, taking questions arising from daily routine work and measured time of information delivery. SETTING: ICUs located in Vienna (Austria), Antwerp (Belgium), Dortmund (Germany), Kuopio (Finland). PARTICIPANTS: 5 PDMS were selected on the basis of our inclusion criteria: commercial availability with at least one installation in Europe, bedside-based design, realization of international standards and a prescribed minimum of functionality. RESULTS: The "Table of Functions" shows an overview of functions and their implementation. "System analyses" indicates predominant differences in properties and functions found between the systems. Results of the "Information Delivery Tests" are shown in the graphic charts. CONCLUSIONS: Systems with graphical data presentation have advantages over systems presenting data mainly in numerical format. Time has come to form a medical establishment powerful enough to set standards and thus communicate with industrial partners as well as with hospital management responsible for planning, purchasing and implementing PDMS. Overall, communication between clinicians, nurses, computer scientists and PDMS vendors must be enhanced to achieve the common goal: useful and practical data management systems at ICUs.

In a week that saw changes for the Rochester Knighthawks, including trading Casey Powell to Colorado, the Knighthawks fell to the Edmonton Rush 11-9 Saturday night at the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester Community War Memorial.
The game was a rematch of last year's National Lacrosse League championship game.
Both teams were coming off a bye, but only the Knighthawks came out flat. Rochester fell behind 5-1, just like it did in the championship game before coming back to win. But Rochester (4-6) never caught the Rush (6-5) Saturday night. ...

Here's a great review of my new favorite shoe from optimalrun.com.

Anton Krupicka has become one of my trail running heroes. Of course I only know him via the internet..
That awkward moment when paces just aren't aligned. If we can't laugh at ourselves we're taking running way to seriously...
This is no tease. The trailer is above but you can watch the full length documentary for free here on..
I haven't yet subscribed to barefoot running. However I believe strongly in low drop shoes and many of the other..

We're heading into summer, one of my favorite times of year. It's the combination of warmer weather and longer days and potential adventures that make me so happy.
This was one of my favorite summers. I worked at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico before moving to Vermont for grad school, meaning I took troops backpacking ALL summer. Swoon! (Never mind that I had no idea what I was doing at first.)
It was a wee bit intense. We got really dirty. We also had bad blisters. And I think I had a touch of altitude sickness. Ah, fun.
And there was one troop who wanted to wake up to hike at nautical twilight. It is the time when the center of the sun is between 6° and 12° below the horizon, or rather, REALLY early. And there was no coffee maker out there…….
But so many backpacks, pretty horses, and stunning views.
Ahem, cowboys with guitars!
And the smell of Jeffrey Pines, which look very similar to Ponderosa Pines, but only live above 5,000 feet and give off a butterscotch or vanilla scent. It's heavenly mixed with the scent of pine needles. There are times I'm hiking out East and would give anything to be walking in a vanilla-scented forest. Sigh.
More pretty views and hot springs.
When we had days off (from hiking), people planned more hikes. Piper, Kathy, and I hiked Mt. Baldy, which is the highest peak at Philmont.
My friend Blake and I hiked Wheeler Peak outside of Taos one weekend. Absolutely gorgeous views and we saw bighorn sheep.
Piper and I ended the summer with some hiking in the Valle Vidal, a large area of land that Philmont uses for some backcountry camps. It's incredibly remote, as you can see in the bottom picture.
Needless to say, I got in great shape that summer. Too bad I lost it all once grad school started. And I think this is also why I covet The Pioneer Woman's lifestyle….because I had a taste of it one summer and it's magic.
Do people have any exciting summer plans?
I'm heading to London again for three weeks in July. Although I dress better than I do on a trail, I still carry a backpack, water, snacks, rain jacket, and camera most of the time in London. I call it my urban hiking. (And I can just see my sister Allison cringing now.) Regardless, excited for an urban adventure!
