Interferon-beta (IFNB) therapy for multiple sclerosis can lead to the induction of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against IFNB. Various methods are used for detection and quantification of NAbs.
Blood samples from 125 IFNB-1b–treated patients, which were tested NAb negative or NAb positive after conclusion of a clinical study, were retested three years after first being assessed in four different laboratories that offer routine NAb testing to practicing neurologists. The myxovirus protein A (MxA) induction assay, the cytopathic effect (CPE) assay (two laboratories), or the luciferase assay were used. Intra- and inter-laboratory agreement between assays with respect to NAb detection and NAb titer quantification were evaluated.
High agreement for NAb detection (kappa coefficient, 0.86) and for titer levels was observed for the intra-laboratory comparison in the laboratory using the MxA induction assay performed three years ago and now. A similarly high agreement for NAb detection (kappa coefficient, 0.87) and for titer quantification was noted for the MxA assay of this laboratory with one of two laboratories using the CPE assay. All other inter-laboratory comparisons showed kappa values between 0.57 and 0.68 and remarkable differences in individual titer levels.
There are considerable differences in the detection and quantification of IFNB-induced NAbs among laboratories offering NAb testing for clinical practice using different assay methods. It is important that these differences are considered when interpreting NAb results for clinical decision-making and when developing general recommendations for potentially clinically meaningful NAb titer levels.

CUMBERLAND – Students at East Webster will start the school year on the campus of Wood Junior College with plans to move them into their new high school in September.
The East Webster High School was destroyed by a tornado in April 2011 and moved classes to Wood Junior College six days later. The district has been working to get the school rebuilt and ready for classes this fall.
"I don't have a firm date of when we will get in that school," said Superintendent Jack Treloar. "I assure you no one wants to get in that facility any quicker than I do."
Treloar said contractors have a punch-list of items that must be completed before the facility can be occupied by the district.
"We are down to the finish work and details," said Treloar. "There are also safety concerns that keep us from getting in the facility."
Treloar said students will attend classes at Wood until the new high school is ready.
"We will have the first day of school just like we did last year," said Treloar. "Teachers are ready, classes are ready and we will be ready there on the first day of school."
Treloar said one plan has the district occupying the new high school over the Labor Day Weekend.
"If it happens the way I want it to, we would get several large trucks and move individual classrooms – books, desks, everything in the room – one at a time from Wood to the new school," said Treloar. "Again we all want to be in the new building as soon as possible."
The new 58,000-square-foot high school was rebuilt on the old school site for an estimated $2.5 million. The new facility will feature state of the art computer wiring, energy efficient heating, cooling and lighting and updates classrooms, offices and facilities.
East Webster was rated a high-performing school based on 2011-12 state test scores. Those test scores ranked the school 32nd out of Mississippi's 242 high schools.
The district graduated 57 students last spring.

Apple: 40 new stores in '08, including China
updated 09:00 am EDT, Tue October 23, 2007
Retail store profitable Q4
Apple's retail stores were instrumental in Apple's growth during the September quarter. On Monday, the company said its retail division brought in $1.25 billion in revenue and generated $268 million segment margin, which is up from $156 million the year before. During the quarter, Apple opened 12 new stores, bringing its retail location count to 197. With an average of 190 stores open in the past three months, each store brought in, on average, $6.6 million, up from $5.6 million the year prior. With the 200th store just around the bend, Apple's retail future is looking bright.
The stores were responsible for moving 473,000 Macs over the quarter, and drew over 31 million customers, which translates into 12,500 customers per week. Also good news for Apple, 50 percent of customers purchasing Macintosh computers were new to the platform, helping it achieve higher substantially higher market share as predicted by both Gartner and IDC research.
In terms of training, Apple said that it has given 300,000 personal training sessions, with 387,000 members in its "One to One" and "ProCare" support programs.
Apple will continue opening stores in the future, with approximately 40 stores set to open during the next year, including high-profile stores in New York and Boston. Apple execs also announced that Apple will open its first store in China, located in Beijing next summer.
In addition to the Beijing iStore, Apple will be opening a few more international stores in the coming year. India will see a series of 10 stores opening, with the first coming before Diwali. With Apple's popular "store within a store" concept will spread through Australia, with a flagship store set to open in Sydney, Australia, that is said to use some of the flashiest elements from Apple's New York stores, such as the glass cube outside the 5th Avenue location, as well as the famed glass staircase.

The nonprofit organization that oversees the Sports Centre at Monroe Community College owes more than $1 million in back rent. / JAMIE GERMANO staff photographer
The nonprofit organization that oversees the Sports Centre at Monroe Community College owes more than $1 million in back rent and has not made a monthly rent payment in two years, according to the college.
The organization, Monroe Community Sports Centre Corp., created in 1998 by prominent local Republican Party officials to finance and manage the $13 million ice arena complex on the college campus, has been dogged by complaints of financial mismanagement and political influence for years.
That the organization is in arrears to the college surfaced in a lawsuit filed this week in state Supreme Court seeking $723,000 in overdue rent a move the president of the Sports Centre Corp. said jeopardizes the arena's future. The complex serves tens of thousands of patrons annually primarily for hockey games and practices who pump millions of dollars into the local economy.
College spokeswoman Cynthia Cooper said the amount of the lawsuit stemmed from an agreement between the college and the Sports Centre Corp. in June 2004 in which the organization promised to pay $800,000 in back rent it owed at the time. But Cooper added that the organization has neglected to pay more rent and the college is actually owed $1,027,350.
Financial records for the organization show it is supposed to pay about $18,800 a month to the college in rent and maintenance fees.
"We've been working with the Monroe Community Sports Centre Corp. for years trying to come to a payment arrangement," Cooper said. "It just hit a figure that our board of trustees no longer felt comfortable with."
Jack Driscoll, a former GOP county legislator and president of the organization, didn't dispute the amount owed but called the suit "self-centered."
He explained that rent to the college is legally subordinate to money the organization owes to bondholders, who have not been paid in years. Driscoll said the 2004 agreement with MCC, which he described as having been brokered with the help of the Monroe County executive and attorney at the time, was intended as a good-faith effort to pay the college something for the use of its campus.
"This very self-centered action on the part of MCC has put the whole Sports Centre (facility) in jeopardy," Driscoll said. "The college knows full well that those rent payments are subordinate to the bondholders, who have collected zip."
The legal action is the latest in a long string of setbacks for the Sports Centre Corp., which is controlled by a board of directors whose majority is appointed by the county executive.
In 2001, the organization was threatened with a lawsuit for overdue rent. Two years later, it defaulted on its bonds. By 2008, independent auditors had issued its first of two consecutive warnings that it had substantial doubts about the ability of the organization to continue operating.
In 2009, ESL Federal Credit Union dropped its sponsorship of the facility, which was named after the bank, and last year sued the Sports Centre Corp. for not removing its logo from the complex.
Federal tax records show the organization is $11.6 million in debt, although the $595,000 deficit it ran last year, mostly in depreciation of the facility, was its best performance over the decade.
Heveron & Heveron, the auditing firm that warned of the viability of Sports Centre Corp., altered its opinion after the organization provided assurances that no action would be taken to foreclose on outstanding bonds in the foreseeable future. But the firm's chief partner, John Heveron, said Thursday that the lawsuit could raise doubts about future operations.
"If there were even a threat of a lawsuit when we were discussing (altering our opinion) it would have been very hard to get to the conclusion that there isn't a risk that (the Sports Centre Corp.) won't be able to operate," Heveron said.

Singer/actress Hilary Duff and her husband Mike Comrie have marked their first wedding anniversary by announcing they are expecting their first child.
The "Cheaper By The Dozen" star, 23, wed ice hockey player Comrie, 30, last summer and they have wasted no time in starting a family.
In a post on her website on Sunday, she writes, "I can't believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you're having fun!
"We also want to share the exciting news that... BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives."
The news will come as a surprise to fans - last week, Duff insisted the couple wanted to wait a little while before trying for a baby.
She told Eonline.com, "I think it was important to us that we had a year to just do whatever. And maybe longer than that because we enjoy having so much freedom. But we're thinking about it."

(Montoya's wild accident Monday night in Daytona brought out a two hour red flag - Getty Images)
Juan Pablo Montoya's crash with a jet dryer and the blazing fire that erupted and halted the Daytona 500 for more than two hours was just the latest addition to the list of bizarre NASCAR race happenings.
Daytona International Speedway has seen its share of weirdness over the years racing from Dale Earnhardt hitting a seagull at speed racing down the backstretch to a driver (ok I admit it, my uncle "Tiger" Tom Pistone) actually wearing a mask and bolting an oxygen tank in his car as a precaution to driving into Lake Lloyd. He couldn't swim if you haven't guessed by now.
There was the infamous Daytona pot hole in 2010 that formed in turn two and brought the race – and some say NASCAR's momentum that season – to a screeching halt.
Sterling Marlin gave up a chance to win the 2002 Daytona 500 when under a red flag he jumped out of his car on the backstretch and pulled his damaged fender away from the tire. That move resulted in NASCAR penalizing Marlin and dropping him from first to twelfth in the field.
"I just pulled the fender off the tire, 'cause it was rubbing," Marlin said. "I saw Dale (Earnhardt) do it at Richmond once and NASCAR let him get away with it, but I guess the rules have changed in the meantime."
Daytona is not alone in the weirdness department. Other tracks have had their share over the years.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway endured the tire debacle of the 2008 Brickyard 400, that saw caution flags fly every ten laps when Goodyear rubber literally fell apart after a handful of circuits.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway ran a restrictor plate race in 2001 after the deaths of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin and fears of high speeds.
But Pocono Raceway may take the prize on the weirdness awards.
The rustic track located in the Pocono Mountains has had many incidents of animals wandering onto the track including rabbits, chickens and ducks.
But nothing can top the time Neil Bonnett once returned to the garage during practice with blood on the hood of his car and the antlers from a deer stuck in the grille.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Clark County is outlawing the sale by
unlicensed vendors of bottled water, T-shirts and other items to
passers-by on the Las Vegas Strip.
County commissioners on Tuesday made sidewalk commerce a
misdemeanor in what Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani
calls an effort to protect the public right-of-way.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the law won't affect handbillers who distribute leaflets and cards for adult entertainment and escort services.
It also won't affect street performers and people who earn tips
by dressing in costumes and posing for photos with tourists.
Some street vendors tell the newspaper the law won't stop them
from trying to make a modest living, even if they face getting a
ticket, paying a fine or spending time in jail.

Facebook working on location-based mobile ads
updated 05:04 pm EDT, Mon June 18, 2012
New product to target users with real-time location data
Facebook is preparing a new advertising product that will allow companies to target users with location-based ads based on real-time data. Speaking with Bloomberg, representatives from the social network said that the new advertising feature has been in testing for the past several months, though the company has not provided any details on when the service may be rolled out.
The mobile ad platform will take advantage of the geo-positioning capabilities common to most mobile phones on the market today. Facebook has reportedly been showing off almost a dozen location-based advertising models to a client council made up of ad executives and corporate chief marketing officers. Use of real-time, location-based ads would allow Facebook to quickly route relevant ads to users, who often update their statuses and share information including their location.
The move is aimed at monetizing the increasing number of Facebook users that access the site from mobile devices. The mobile sector has historically given Facebook problems, as the smaller screens common to mobile devices are not as well suited to display ads from the social network. The company recently opened up its mobile ad platform to third-party ad sellers, and executives have noted in the past that the mobile sector remains a high priority.

SPARKS, NV - Sparks police were called to The Alley Bar on Victorian Avenue around 10:00 p.m. Saturday after reports of gunshots fired.
Police say there was an argument after inappropriate conduct was made toward a female friend of the victim. After the victim asked the person to control his behavior, he was reportedly cornered by several people.
Sparks police say the victim tried to avoid a confrontation by leaving the bar, but the subjects followed him out.
Police say in an attempt to deter the subjects, the victim pulled out his handgun. After the group continued to advance, the victim responded by firing a gunshot into the air.
The group continued to approach the victim after the shot was fired. The victim then went inside the building and went behind the bar. The group followed him and began to attack him, according to police.
Police say the victim fired a gunshot as he was being attacked on the floor of the bar.
Sparks officials say the victim used the gun in self-defense. The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Four people were arrested on one count each of simple battery and one count of provoking an assault. They are Stanley Griffin, Michael Griffin, Eric Cooper and Cody York.

I only got this last week and I love it already! Before, I used the Oil cleansing method to remove makeup, but because i have sensitive skin with rosacea, the hot washcloth and my cheeks didn't get along very well. Also, although I know it is beneficial for the skin, I didn't like the greasy film it left on my face. So this is basically OCM but better. It leaves the skin squeaky clean, moisturized and super soft. I usually use 1 pump for my face and a little more for my eyes, depending on how much eye makeup I have on. Then I wet my hands and massage my face again before I remove everything with a wet washcloth. So far, my skin hasn't shown any pimples or rashes, not even my eyes which are extremely picky about ingredients. If that continues, I will keep repurchasing this until the day I die.

Most of the reviews describe the product perfectly. I'm 66 with fair normal-dry thin skin, sensitive and reactive, mild rosacea flushing and some permanent pinkness, persistent S-D on one nose fold. How I use this -I squirt one or two pumps into my hands and then massage my face until my eye and face makeup seem off, and then without rinsing I use a pump or two of Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, do a bit more massaging with the combo, then rinse. My skin is much less dehydrated with few to no dry spots even in the winter, and when I travel and only use the Cerave I can see a difference after a few days.

This is my hg of makeup removers. I can't count how many bottles of this wonderful oil I've purchased, and I miss it terribly whenever I go traveling. The best part of this remover is that it works with all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.
Since I've gotten older, my skin has changed from being very oily to combination, and no matter what, the cleanse off oil never compromised the texture of my skin whatsoever. All I use is 1 to 2 pumps at the most, and rub it into my skin without adding water. It's so delicate and creamy, working itself into a light lather that isn't irritating to the eyes.
It can be wiped off with a tissue or rinsed off with water, and leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft without stripping off your natural oils. I was hesitant to use this years ago when my skin was super oily, but oil cuts oil so it helped to keep my skin looking refreshed and balanced. This is one of those rare products that I'll use for the rest of my life, and pray that they keep making it.

OMG THIS STUFF IS TERRIBLE! The first time I tried it it made me go blind for 10 minutes and I didn't even get in in my eyes... or I didn't feel it at least. I was so scared! Also, it barely even removed my makeup and it is so expensive! There are much better products at the drugstore.

Update 2015: No longer in use. Moved on to Bioderma and Clinique TTDO Balm for makeup removal.
I'm quite surprised that this works so well for me considering I'm very sensitive and this has both essential oils and fragrance. I have been using on/off for a few months, just on days that I wear foundation or tenacious sunscreen. This is a very light, thin oil and glides over the face very nicely. Rinses easily and cleanly without any residue, however I still follow up with my cleanser for extra measure. No breakouts of irritation to speak of. Unfortunately I cannot use this to remove eye makeup due to irritation, but otherwise it's great and I might buy again, but I think I will try Fancl after this runs out.

I'm afraid to put this product anywhere near my face again. Now, it could be totally unrelated, but during the time period I started using this my face exploded in cystic blemishes (I'm prone to these during hormonal fluctuations) in spots where I usually never get them. When I stopped using this, it took some time for my face to clear up, but it did. I'm glad I only bought the travel size, because I don't plan on using this again just in case it was the culprit.
With that said...
This smells nice and fresh. I originally purchased this to remove waterproof mascara, but eventually tried it on my entire face. It felt nice on my skin - not greasy or heavy. It rinsed off clean, but I fallowed up with my usual cleanser afterwards.
I'm going to give this product a 3, because I'm really not sure if it caused my cysts or not. If it didn't, it's very effective at removing stubborn makeup.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Where to start? I have oily skin which can be breakout prone when certain products are used. I wear sunscreen on a daily basis and know that it is important to remove every single bit of it at night, hence why I first started using an oil cleanser. I previously used the DHC Olive oil based cleanser but found this a bit too thick for my liking - it felt like I was rubbing straight olive oil on my face and that isn't a feeling I particularly like. Anyway back to the Mac; this is a very light feeling oil, with a very pleasant fragrance. I take 1.5 pumps and massage on to my dry skin. I then dampen my hands and massage again to emulsify the oil before I rinse it off. I find this is the best way to get all my makeup off rather than just rinsing straight off. I have never had any problems with this breaking me out. I love the packaging, it has a locking cap on the full size bottle, which I have traveled with and it has never leaked on me. The travel size bottle has the same kind of top as the Fix Plus spray. A bottle typically lasts me 3-4 months so the price doesn't really bother me. I have been using this for years and think it will always be a staple in my skin care routine.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I've gone through countless bottles of this product. ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING. I use this oil completely dry: I take about a pump and a half into my hands, rub, and then apply all over my face, massaging my eyes and skin to fully remove the makeup. Once I have black panda eyes, I rinse my entire face; the oil becomes this luxorious milky texture and rinses completely clean without leaving any oily residue or speck of makeup on my face. It's also incredibly effective at removing water-proof and long-wearing makeup: I never have to second guess purchasing water-proof mascara when considering difficulty with removal.
I notice that if I apply with even slightly damp skin or hands, the effectiveness is lessened so I would recommend using this product on 100% dry skin. $28 may seem like a lot to spend on a makeup remover, but it's a one-stop-shop that will last for months on end. I can ration a bottle out for an average of about 2-3 months WITH daily use.
I cannot think of any cons associated with product. I will continue to repurchase forever and ever.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Green
Only tried it once and there was still a little makeup in my pores between eyebrows. But very good so far!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I just got my very first bottle of this oil, and I already LOVE it! I bought the travel size just to see if I like it. It feels really luxurious, and it really does remove every last trace of makeup. I follow this with MAC Green Gel cleanser, and they are a nice combo. Pretty pricey, but it's MAC quality, and I will continue to buy it.

Miscellaneous information
Czech Wikipedia (and not just: see VIAF) distinguishes two composers Alberto Randegger, this one and one born in 1880 (1880-1918). His full name was Alberto Iginio Randegger, or Alberto Randegger Jr. (though actually he was Alberto Randegger's nephew, not son - see http://www.biographien.ac.at/oebl/oebl_R/Randegger_Alberto-Iginio_1880_1918.xml ), violinist and composer. (Alberto Randegger the elder was a composer, conductor and singing teacher.)) The 3 Morceaux below, for violin and piano, seem a good candidate to be by Alberto Iginio - maybe the categories should be separated and the Morceaux moved to the new category, especially if a biography of the dedicatee (Jan Kubelik) contains supporting evidence, for example.

PetSafe In-Ground Containment : Planning and Installation
Invisible fence partial break?
We have determined that we have a partial break in our Petsafe Underground fence. Just a trickle of power is emitted. Problem is, the ohm meter and the collar itself will always show a reading and the box shows a complete circuit but the signal is too weak to correct our dog or even emit a beep. So basically, just enough power to screw us! from reading online, i have NO idea what to do. Any suggestions or tips?
please no "just dig it all up" – we have 4 acres of invisible fencing!!!
The unit is 2 years old, this problem is a new one. When you approach the line, you only trigger the warning beep if the collar is held all the way to the ground, but no matter what, there is not enough power to trigger the correction.
Thanks for the tip about wire connections/seams.
Have you tried testing the unit to make sure it's putting out the proper voltage. I am assuming this is a new problem. not to make you sound stupid but have you checked the output to make sure the voltage is turned up and didn't get turned down at some point or is it on low and the dog has gotten used to it. I have had 2 problems with underground fences. 1 The probes on the collar get dirty and don't work correctly and the dog just pays it no mind. 2 the unit was not powerful enough to make it that far. When installed how many connections had to be made in the wire or did you use one 4 acre wire? I would if you marked them check any connections. If you used more than one piece of wire you may be able to just walk out the distance of the sections if you can remember the length you used. Also check the unit connections for corrosion use a finger mail file to clean them or a small wire brush.

Lian Li launches Classic PC-9 mid tower chassis
updated 03:15 pm EDT, Mon October 13, 2008
Lian Li intros PC-9 case
Taiwan's Lian Li on Monday announced the release of its newest PC chassis, the PC-9 mid-tower. The tower features five 5.25-inch bays for optical drives and an HDD Cage that has four slots for 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The SATA connections allow for hot swaps of the drives, while a lockable front door keeps the cage secure. A dedicated 4.7-inch fan cools the HDDs, while another fan of the same size is mounted in the rear for all other ventilation needs. Other cooling aids include an ATX or micro ATX motherboard tray that has additional holes for better ventilation. The 7x PCI slots are covered by a grill that is, again, meant to improve airflow. Each 5.25-inch bay cover contains a removable nylon filter that can be cleaned easily and keeps the inside of the case clean of dust and other particles.
The two fans are removable and their speed adjustable via a three-speed controller. Should users demand even more cooling capability, the PC-9 case has water pipe access holes, making it easier to retrofit it with a water cooling system. The power supply bay is at the bottom and features rubber strips to insulate the PSU. Anti-vibration couplings are used throughout the case as well.
Peripheral connections include two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire connection and HD and AC97 audio outputs. The case is available in metallic silver or a black finish now, priced at $190.

Going into October, the Fayetteville-Manlius football team was 0-4, and seemingly bound for a quick and unceremonious exit after making annual visits to the post-season.
Two games later, the situation has changed a bit.
Not having any kind of letdown after its shocking win over defending state champion West Genesee on Oct. 3, the Hornets had a successful Senior Night last Friday, blasting Utica Proctor 41-6.
By doing so, the Hornets, with a 2-2 mark in the Class AA-1 division, has set up a situation where a win this Saturday over Liverpool at Solvay High School's Earl Hadley Stadium will put them in the Section III Class AA playoffs.
Remarkable as it was, F-M's 47-37 conquest of West Genesee, at the time 4-0 and atop the state AA rankings, only counted as half the formula the Hornets needed to keep its playoff hopes alive.
Now it had to bring the same kind of intensity and focus to deal with Proctor, who was 0-5 and wanted nothing more than to spoil F-M's plans.
Understanding the stakes, the Hornets took charge early. Twice in the first quarter, it engineered scoring drives, ending them in contrasting manners.
First, quarterback T.J. Earley went deep and found Mike O'Neil for a 42-yard touchdown reception. Then it got to 14-0 when hard-nosed fullback Matt Fallico scored from seven yards out. Both times, Dan Costa was successful on extra points.
Fallico, who would finish with 76 yards on the ground, earned a second TD on a five-yard run in the second quarter. Proctor would get on the board with Kelly Olney's five-yard scoring pass to Devin Warmack, but F-M led 21-6 at the break.
To keep and build on that lead, the Hornets gave the ball to Matt Taylor -- a lot.
The senior running back did not disappoint, either, using his 26 carries to go for 162 yards behind the blocking of linemen like Kevin Cooper, Karl Thomson and Evan Butcher.

Sounds like that or for some mysterious reason the head gasket or head cracked, Overfilling will hydraulically lock the motor and destroy it, DO NOT run it until you are sure of the amount of oil in it!

Oil is pushing, or trying to push past the oil and compression rings, you can try completely draining it, replace the filter and check the drained oil for metal particles or bits, this will indicate engine damage due to the locking effect.

Dear Gary: My husband and I are at our wits end over the choices our 17-year-old daughter has made and how her lifestyle has affected her 2-year-old son. We adopted our daughter from another country when she was 10 years old, and we have had a rough time with her since she was 14. She is very immature, promiscuous, impulsive and does not think before she acts. Now we have found out that she is again pregnant by some guy she met a few weeks ago.
Gary, we have done our best, but she continues to fight us and threaten to run away with this new boyfriend. Despite our attempts to help, our daughter has not finished high school, has no job, no car, no phone and no home to live on her own. She was recently homeless for two weeks, couch surfing at peoples houses with her son. We feared that there were parties with drugs and who knows what else going on at these homes. We talked her into staying for now with us in our attic apartment. We live in Weld County and have given her the numbers to apply for county programs such as TANF, Medicaid and Food Stamps, but she tells us that she does not qualify because she lives at home. She will be 18 soon and that will change her options to get help. She has no insurance and has not gone in for any prenatal care yet.
If we try to intervene, she gets mad and leaves. She resists help because she believes that she can take care of herself and that she is a good mother. After all these years, we are at the end of our rope. We have tried so hard only to have her make things worse. Most of all, we worry about our grandson and now, the unborn baby.
Worried Grandparents in Weld County
Dear Worried Grandparents: I can understand, after reading your letter, why you are worried. While you didnt mention anything specific that happened to your grandson, the potential of risk seems very high. It is great that your daughter and your grandson are living with you, and I hope that arrangement continues.
It seems obvious that your daughter needs help navigating the county programs like TANF. If you are not able to go with her to help explain and fill out the paperwork, perhaps someone else in your family or support network can. If your daughter has not contacted the Workforce Center, that would be a good place to start. They can help her with a variety of resources. She also needs to get on the waiting list for assisted housing. Please get her into see an OB/GYN doctor to get some prenatal care.
I think you need to understand that even though your daughter is almost 18, she may not have the maturity level of an 18-year-old. I would recommend that you call Weld County Child Protection and express your concerns for the safety of your grandson. They may be able to partner with you to keep your grandson safe and offer your daughter services and support. It also might be a good idea to consult with an attorney regarding the steps necessary to get temporary custody of your grandson, at least until your daughter becomes more self-sufficient and is making more rational choices.
Yes, these steps may alienate your daughter from you temporarily, but it is the safety of your grandson that is most important right now. There are a lot of resources out there to help your daughter; she just needs assistance getting in contact with them and following through.

Hometown Papers Splurge On Convention Coverage
Like their counterparts across the country, the local newspapers in Denver and Minneapolis-St. Paul have been cutting back as advertising sales dwindle. The next two weeks will be an exception: As the political conventions roll into town, the four major hometown dailies are planning lavish coverage worthy of the Olympics.
The Denver Post is printing an extra 24- to 36-page section every day this week devoted to coverage of political speeches, protests and traffic troubles tied to the Democratic National Convention, which kicked off in the Colorado capital Monday. Entertainment squads -- replete with paparazzi-style photographers and borrowed veterans from the gossip beat -- are tracking where Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck and other Barack Obama-flocking celebrities will eat and schmooze while in Denver.
The Pioneer Press in St. Paul, which sent just a handful of reporters to the conventions four years ago, is devoting more than 30 staffers to the Republican National Convention, which opens there on Sept. 1.
"You forget about the P&L for this," said Dean Singleton, chairman of MediaNews Group, which publishes both the Denver Post and Pioneer Press, among its 54 daily U.S. newspapers. "This is a week to really showcase what we do best."
The no-holds-barred coverage comes even though broadcast and cable news television, national newspapers and a cadre of political bloggers -- an estimated 15,000 people in all -- are planning to blanket the proceedings at both conventions. Critics also say the proceedings are news-free events hardly worth all the media attention.
The conventions point to a rising dilemma for local news outlets: In an era of financial cutbacks, how hard should they pursue national and international events that will be widely covered by others, even in their own backyards?
The choice is particularly stark for these conventions, which are a massive expense during a period of financial agony for many newspapers. The Minneapolis Star Tribune in the past 18 months has trimmed its staff substantially through buyouts and layoffs and has frozen wages for some workers. The Rocky Mountain News has lost more than 12% of its weekday circulation in the past two years. Both MediaNews and Avista Capital, the private-equity owner of the Star Tribune, are laboring under steep debt loads.
Equipment, telecom services and food for the Pioneer Press's post in the St. Paul convention hall will cost the paper about $25,000. John Temple, editor and publisher of the Rocky Mountain News, said the paper's expenses for the Denver convention will be in the "low six figures," its biggest outlay ever to cover a single event.
At least some of the expense will be made up with increased advertising. Many of the 50,000 state delegates and other conventioneers will find papers outside their hotel rooms each morning, giving the papers a larger audience to sell ads for local businesses, advocacy organizations and major advertisers seeking to reach the influential attendees. Mr. Temple said he expects the Rocky Mountain News, which is owned by E.W. Scripps Co. SSP 0.33 % , will more than break even on its convention coverage.
For the Minnesota papers, expectations of an advertising bump are more muted because of the lower interest level in Sen. John McCain's candidacy, according to editors and executives at the papers. Greg Mazanec, the Pioneer Press's vice president of advertising, said September ad revenue will be up almost 10% from normal September levels, owing partly to ads from Washington advocacy groups sold through the paper's partnership with the political news Web site Politico.
Other news outlets are rethinking their convention coverage. The San Diego Union-Tribune won't send any reporters this year so it can save money for other news events. McClatchy Co.'s Washington bureau reporters making the trip to Denver are staying at a hotel 10 miles from the convention and will take the light rail to daily events. "We're obviously very conscious about costs," said David Westphal, the Washington editor for McClatchy newspapers, which include the Miami Herald and Sacramento Bee.
To stand out from other media, the local papers are treating the conventions as much as a major local happening as a national news event. The Minneapolis Star Tribune will have 15 reporters roaming outside the convention hall to write about the social scene and other community issues, and a separate team on call for coverage of protests, according to Dennis McGrath, the editor overseeing the paper's convention coverage.
To fuel the round-the-clock coverage, the hometown papers have beefed up on their new-media tools. The Denver Post bought dozens of staffers BlackBerrys so they can update the Web site from the convention floor. The Rocky Mountain News has been training staffers how to take digital photos with cellphones and use the instant-messaging service Twitter for quick updates during the convention.
For some reporters and editors, more than a year of planning is beginning to take its toll. Kevin Dale, the Denver Post editor overseeing logistics and news coverage, worked 6 a.m. to midnight every day in the week before the convention. Monday, on top of planning coverage of the opening night, he had to grapple with two phones stolen from the paper's post in the convention hall -- just one of many headaches from the convention.
"I wake up in the middle of the night with thoughts about ordering phone lines, and I don't get back to bed," Mr. Dale said.

Japanese media pleased with how Rangers have welcomed Yu Darvish
Left-handed hitters proved to be less of a challenge than expected during Yu Darvish's win last Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. Japanese media viewed the game as a sort of coming of age, emphasizing Darvish's growth over his major league career and showing open optimism for the player they hope will snag the Cy Young Award.
Chunichi News columnist Kazumi Oshiro wrote that Darvish's performance ranked near the top of the majors. He quoted analysts as saying that Darvish's power was good and he used his changeup effectively.
But Oshiro's main praise was how well Darvish has been welcomed into the Rangers fold, commenting on how Ron Washington told Darvish "good job" before pulling Darvish after 7 2/3 innings.
A Sports Navi news article quoted Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick as saying that Darvish's fastball control was excellent.
Another article cited Darvish's growth and adaptability. According to the article, Rangers president Nolan Ryan said he was impressed by the Darvish's increasing flexibility.

Business in brief
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's largest children's literacy nonprofit, has selected the Greater Richmond ARC's Infant & Child Services (ICDS) program to receive a $396 grant for free book distributions and literacy activities benefitting Richmond area children and their families. The funds were raised during RIF's 2011 Be Book Smart campaign in partnership with Macy's. The grant money will allow ICDS to meet one of its program goals, which is to provide each child in the program one book per month to help build their home library.
Henrico Doctors' Hospital Labor and Delivery Unit is the first and only hospital in the United States to earn Joint Commission certification for its Induction of Labor Program. The Labor and Delivery Unit underwent a rigorous on-site survey and a team of Joint Commission expert surveyors evaluated the hospital for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients and families, including leadership, quality of care and medication management. The hospital was recognized for putting into place processes and procedures for advanced safety standards, pain management related to induction of labor, and standardization of labor induction practices.

A group of five Richmond-based entrepreneurs have founded a new social payment network called PaidThx. The founders are Thomas Eide (CEO), Rob Kirchner (COO), James Rhodes (CTO), Hugo Camacho (executive director of finance) and Ryan Ricigliano (executive director of user experience). With PaidThx, users will no longer have to carry around cash or a checkbook – just their smartphone. The new technology works similarly to online banking tools that are in the market today with one major difference: PaidThx users can send and receive money with all of their contacts, no matter where they bank. The network, set to launch to the public later this year, can be accessed from a smartphone, computer, or popular social media sites.

I'll lay my heart at your feet
And bleed upon the floor,
Empty and forever wanting more.
I'll wait a lifetime for the words to fall
from your cold lips.
I'll lay my hand upon your heart and
Pray that we are not apart.
Beg God's mercy and whisper
Promises to have you with me.
Life is but a moment and Death eternal.
I make my choice, I will not falter.
I lay upon you as though at alter,
And give myself to the hereafter.
Love eternal.

Home heating fires become more prominent during the frigid months of December, January and February, according to Chief Robert McCoy with York Area United Fire and Rescue.
More than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. The majority of these fires are caused by creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes.
Recently, two such fires left York County families without a home when temperatures dropped below freezing for several days.
A Peach Bottom Township home was destroyed Thursday when a wood stove fire got out of control, officials said. The homeowner tried to put it out with snow until a neighbor saw the smoke and called for help. He and his wife, both in their 70s, were displaced, along with a dog.
A second fire took out a Chanceford Township home Friday, but the cause remained unknown.
The fire went to a four-alarm, leaving many firefighters to fight the blaze in the single digits.
"To assist in fighting these types of fires, people should use appliances that are certified by a testing laboratory, have them serviced and cleaned each year, and make sure all safety devices are in place and operating," McCoy said. "Check throughout the winter for damage or obstructions, and keep combustibles away from the heat source."
Anytime it seems a fire is growing beyond what is normal, residents are to call the fire department and exit the home, McCoy said.
Smoke alarms also should be installed on every level of the home and a household extinguisher should be available.
Carbon monoxide detectors are also very important as the dangerous gas and can become a more frequent problem in the winter months, he added.Safety tips
The U.S. Fire Administration lists the following safety tips on its website:
• Have your chimney or wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist.
• Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials.
• Install stovepipe thermometers to help monitor flue temperatures.
• Never use flammable liquids to start a fire.
• Use only seasoned hardwood.
• Never burn cardboard boxes, trash or debris in your fireplace or wood stove.
• Allow ashes to cool before disposing of them. Place ashes in a tightly covered metal container and keep the ash container at least 10 feet away from your home and any other nearby buildings. Never empty the ash directly into a trash can. Douse and saturate the ashes with water.

Jerry Jones: No guarantee DeMarcus Ware will be with the Dallas Cowboys next season; 'You can't have it all'
Jerry Jones said Monday evening that there's no guarantee that defensive end DeMarcus Ware will play another season with the Dallas Cowboys.
Ware is scheduled to count $16 million against the salary cap in 2014 and the Cowboys likely can't afford him at that price. If Ware, 31, is going to remain in Dallas his contract will need to be restructured or the amount of money will need to be reduced.
"There's no question when you are where we are on the cap, even though we've had some new cap space added, and you have a defensive player that's your highest paid defensive player, and he hasn't been on the field much the last two years, that has to be considered," Jones said on ESPN's SportsCenter. "You can't have it all."
The Cowboys owner and general manager gave an example of one time getting off his personal plane and into a Ford Bronco at the airport. When a reporter questioned why Jones didn't have a more expensive vehicle, Jones responded: "Well, in order to have a plane, you have to drive a five-year-old Bronco. You can't have it all.
"We've got those kinds of decisions to make, which is a part of what makes it so exciting in the NFL."
Jones explained the changes the Cowboys have made on defense and how they have forced the seven-time Pro Bowler to play with his hand on the ground.
Ware, who had been an outside linebacker in the Cowboys 3-4 scheme during his first eight seasons in the NFL, moved to defensive end last year and turned in the worst season of his career. He missed three games and finished with six sacks and 40 tackles, both career lows.
"He's had a tough time getting on the practice field because of various injuries," Jones said. "All of that we have to weigh with how much of that has impacted him for the future as well as where he is in his career and with his age.
"Those are the ingredients in the stew. Now we've got to stir it up and see where we're going. It will be a very difficult call for us because of how much salary cap he uses."

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder / Detroit Free Press file photo
LANSING -- Gov. Rick Snyder says he will put forward a specific plan to pay for improvements to the state's crumbling roads and bridges in his State of the State address Jan. 16.
Snyder last year identified the need for $1.4 billion a year in additional road funding but didn't back a specific plan for raising that money.
At a bill-signing in Lansing today, Snyder said he would come out with a specific plan in his address.
Increases to the gasoline tax and diverting money from the state sales tax are among the ideas that have been discussed.

Deep Trouble at Monmouthshire Walking FestivalThursday, June 21st, 2012
22nd June – 1st July 2012
19th – 28th October 2012
The 2012 Monmouthshire Walking Festival starts on Friday 22nd June. They have a great and varied walking programme to suit all types of walker.
The first Monmouthshire Walking Festival in 2012 runs from Friday 22nd June to Sunday 1st July. From the highest point in Monmouthshire, Chwarel y Fan to the new Wales Coastal Path, from high moorland to wooded glades, from secluded countryside to busy market towns, the Monmouthshire Walking Festival has walks to interest and challenge you. If you are looking for local history, flora, fauna, churches, lost villages, hill forts, rivers, castles and gardens, then Monmouthshire Walking Festival has some of the best that Monmouthshire has to offer.
The National Diving & Activity Centre in Chepstow is the start and finish point for the Deep Trouble walk taking place on Saturday 30th June 2012.
Starting at 10am Walk Leaders Clare Scutts and Sue Rawle will be your guides for the day. Starting at the National Diving & Activity Centre you will pick up the Gloucestershire Way and then Offa's Dyke path as you follow the course of the Lower Wye valley. Diverting via the Lancaut Circular walk you'll enjoy the woods below the impressive limestone cliffs, an area protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). After you reach the chapel of St. James, you'll return along the Offa's Dyke path to once again pick up the Gloucestershire Way and return to the National Diving & Activity Centre in Chepstow.
Deep Trouble is a crime fiction novel set in a scuba diving club based in the Forest of Dean and the storystarts in the National Diving & Activity Centre near Chepstow. It is unusual in that the crime scene is at the bottom of the sea on a wrecked submarine. There are a number of murderous motives including an illicit love affair, an inheritance and suspects include an irascible drinker and a manipulative philanderer. Sue Rawle is a diver herself but the story is entirely fictional as all her diving buddies in Forest Pirates are lovely people! Sue used to be the Overlooking the Wye Scheme Manager so the walk will also mention a couple of the sites which benefited from conservation works recently.
Sue Rawle will sign copies of her book Deep Trouble at the end of the walk. Alternatively for the intrepid why not try The Wire – the longest zip wire in the country which operates at the National Diving & Activity Centre in Chepstow!

In Mount Sterling, people are dealing with so much water, it's destroyed sections of the pavement and closed roads.
Police officers there are also being forced to work out of their cruisers, because the police department is under water.
Hinkston Creek rose so high and fast Sunday night, the force of the water actually pushed the pavement of Main Street up, and broke it into pieces.
Mount Sterling Police had to act fast to save their police cars. The building quickly filled with water.
As of early Monday afternoon, there was still water inside the building and no electricity.
Police officers are using their cars as mobile offices.
"All of a sudden we were knee deep in water moving police cars," Mount Sterling Police Chief Mike Schnell said. "another group of guys were trying to save computers and ammunition. We were pretty successful but have still suffered a pretty grievous loss."
The 911 dispatch center in the county was not affected by the flood. All calls are still going through that location.
