Bath could get drunk tanks to sober up city drinkers
Posted: December 21, 2013|
Drinkers in Bath could soon find themselves sobering up in drunk tanks.
The tanks, which are manned by members of the emergency services, are just one of a several measures being looked at by city leaders to help combat the problems associated with excessive drinking.
Talking to primary school pupils, creating 'dry streets' where there are no licensed premises and attaching minimum pricing to licensing policy are also being looked at by Bath and North East Somerset Council.
The authority is considering the measures following a special alcohol conference held in the city in October.
Related content
Residents' groups, charities, health officials and council departments attended the Alcohol Harm Reduction Scrutiny Inquiry Day and produced a list of ten recommendations.
The recommendations suggest better education of people of all ages, targeted interventions such as drunk tanks, training for staff at pubs and bars and a new approach to licensing will be the key to preventing people from drinking too much as well as handling the consequences when they do.
Bristol launched its first drink tank earlier this month. The Alcohol Recovery Centre (ARC) - as its officially known - gives people somewhere to sober up or get medical treatment. They have been used for decades in countries such as the US to protect drunk people from themselves and others.
The recommendations have already gone before the B&NES Council's policy development and scrutiny panel and are now being considered by members of the authority's cabinet.
A decision is expected in the New Year.

The ability to accurately detect DNA copy number variation in both a sensitive and quantitative manner is important in many research areas. However, genome-wide DNA copy number analyses are complicated by variations in detection signal.
While GC content has been used to correct for this, here we show that coverage biases are tissue-specific and independent of the detection method as demonstrated by next-generation sequencing and array CGH. Moreover, we show that DNA isolation stringency affects the degree of equimolar coverage and that the observed biases coincide with chromatin characteristics like gene expression, genomic isochores, and replication timing.
These results indicate that chromatin organization is a main determinant for differential DNA retrieval. These findings are highly relevant for germline and somatic DNA copy number variation analyses.

I was listening to the radio the other day, when between songs one of the female DJ's announced that Peter Gabriel had joined the campaign to stop violence against women. Of course a laudable gesture using celebrity status to bring light to an issue that has been swept under the rug for years. I found out later, Gabriel planned to deliver a petition of signatures to the Mexican government to persuade them to take accountability for the numerous disappearances of women on the U.S./Mexico border. The DJ proceeded to say that there are other more pressing issues we need to resolve and Gabriel needs to give it a rest. After my initial outrage, I thought about it this way, does this DJ have any idea of how much this issue affects her personally? Does she realize that violence against women isn't something out there, that these violations can happen inside the home, on the street, at a friend's house, or while riding the bus to work?
That is what we do though, whether consciously or subconsciously, we distance ourselves from the harm, from really knowing the truth and accepting the reality of the world we live in. Sometimes it is difficult for us to see how we are all connected to this world and one another, and how my action can affect someone half way across the world, or how a country's policy can affect women globally.
At other times we just feel helpless.
A friend and I were talking about Darfur, the atrocities and tragedies that have happened there and that continue to occur. We talked about how we can help from here in the U.S. What can we do? If we donate money, will it go to those who need it? If we lend our hands, do we put ourselves at risk? What do we do then?
Our conversation reminded me of a scene from the movie Hotel Rwanda , when Don Cheadle's character, Paul, tries to persuade a U.S. journalist to stay and cover the civil war between the Hutus and Tutsis. He says, if only people around the world saw what was happening, then they would do something about it. The journalist replies by saying something to the affect of, I think people will see this and think, how horrible, and continue on with their lives.
How disgusting that we live in a world where day in and day out we know of the unimaginable happening and the hardships that women, children, and men face to meet basic needs, yet we do nothing about it. I think for those of us here on World Pulse , we share a heightened consciousness, but for some of us, we don't know what we can do, as outsiders, who want to remain respectful of our brothers and sisters around the world, but feel disempowered when we see serious violations taking place.
As a correspondent I want to unlearn the learned helplessness that comes from the idea that if we are not there, being directly affected, then we cannot do anything about it. I want to learn what I, what we, can do anywhere in the world to create social change no matter where we call home. I want to learn not only from the histories, but from the voices of women themselves. I want to start making more apparent connections from the local to the global, and back, not only for myself, but also with others. It starts here. We have a thriving network here on World Pulse , made up of amazing and dynamic women. The best part of it is that we are all already a part of this collective.
A small piece of the World Pulse story can be told in my personal story from meeting Jensine for the first time in San Diego 4 years ago among a group of 20 when the magazine was about to launch, to meeting her again in South Africa in November among a group of over 2,000 with a flourishing magazine and website! Worldpulse has traveled from one end of the earth to the other, listening to and connecting diverse women, now who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
Hi Grooveesista,
I really liked your message and positive voice! It is so common for people to overlook or misunderstand the many forms that violence can take and that violence against women does affect us all. I can definitely share in your comment about being aware of the challenges and struggles the world round and feeling helpless about what I can do to help end the suffering. I am grateful to be on PulseWire, to read your story and so many others and be able to create a dialog that will one day inspire action. I really enjoyed your assignment and your spirit! Thank you for sharing your voice.
Cheers, Megan
megan, i am grateful for your kinds words. thank you. i feel we all need to remain positive to be the most effective, although understandably this work can be emotionally draining and physically exhausting many times. we all have a vision however, and that helps us to move forward.
glad to know i am not the only who at times feels like i want to do more, but don't exactly know how. if you have any ideas, please do share. :)

Platinum Pied Pipers
|Platinum Pied Pipers
Platinum Pied Pipers performing in Atlanta, Georgia in 2008
|Background information
|Detroit, United States
|Hip hop, R&B
|Years active
|Ubiquity Records
|Robert "Waajeed" O'Bryant
Darnell "Saadiq" Bolden
Platinum Pied Pipers is a Detroit-based hip hop and R&B group composed of producer Waajeed (Robert O'Bryant), and multi-instrumentalist Saadiq (Darnell Bolden, not to be confused with Raphael Saadiq). Their music usually features a rotating and varied array of artists.
The two met through rapper Baatin in 1992. Sometime in 2000, they decided to form a duo and began releasing 12"s and mixtapes. It was their collaboration with Dwele in 2003, however, called "Ridin' High" which caught the ears of music listeners, and set the stage for a full-length album. The pair have a rather distinctive mixture of sounds as, although Waajeed is primarily a hip hop producer, Saadiq is a protege of Motown producer Barrett Strong, making for a finely tuned middleground. As stated in interviews, the name "Platinum Pied Pipers" was chosen at random and has no connection to the Pied Piper folk tale. Since Detroit is their hometown, they have said that the city is very important to them.[1]
Triple P[edit]
Their debut album Triple P was eventually released in 2005 on Ubiquity Records and received a large amount of praise from people such as Gilles Peterson, and Questlove, who claimed to have listened to the album 7 times in a row. LA Weekly made it their "Pick of the Week" and said "While [Waajeed] made hip-hop for the streets with his act Slum Village, he's now making intergalactic soul with PPP... the Triple P's debut for Ubiquity has created a buzz in the air and a tremble on the dance floor".
Other album highlights include a Latin-fueled version of "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" featuring Rogiérs of Fibby Music, and a track with Detroit rapper Invincible.
Their newest album Abundance was released January 20, 2009.[2] Wajeed stated: "...our tastes have changed—times have changed. It's definitely a different record, but there are still a lot of similarities.[3]"

Is it me? I find a certain sense of irony in the recent deal announced between Starbucks and AT&T.
The deal Starbucks has struck with AT&T, nosing out its current Wi-Fi partner T-Mobile, will make Wi-Fi free for just about everybody. For starters, free Wi-Fi will be a new benny for AT&T DSL customers (that's 12 million subscribers). Starbucks cardholders will be entitled to two free hours a day of wireless connectivity, as well.
For the two or three people this doesn't include, there will still be a charge of $3.99 for two hours of access.
Industry watchers are already speculating this deal is going to put big time pressure on other businesses with hotspots, along with the other major broadband carriers and telcos to bundle in public Wi-Fi access with similar deals. If true, I say good. Free is my favorite four letter word.
I just find it amusing that Starbucks, a company that owes its success to brilliantly cultivating a high demand for four dollar cups of coffee where none had existed before, has just inked a deal that will likely cheapen Wi-Fi access at hotspots to virtually zero dollars.
The strategy is obvious and brilliant, of course. Two hours of free Wi-Fi is just enough time to sip down two decaf cafe mochas, delight in a cranberry scone and pick up a CD of Sheryl Crow's favorite songs (because it sounded so good while I was checking my email in the big purple overstuffed chair).
Tell me again how the Wi-Fi is free?

Maybe the only thing I don't love about Moda Operandi is when a much-anticipated purchase arrives a little too early to be wearable (i.e., the giant Thakoon anorak that landed on my doorstep damp from the sauna that was July). It's great to have my order the second it's ready—of course—but I still kind of want to open a box and put whatever's in it on my body, right that instant.
Today's Jason Wu sale on the trunk show site should eliminate that sort of delay, though. Those leather paneled tops, navy dresses and lace pants should be perfectly ready to wear whenever they arrive early next year, whether that's in eat-dinner-outside-April or in sleeping-bag-coat-necessary-January (as is the delivery range). Marrying a brooding palette and tough textures with feminine, breezy silhouettes, they truly are year-round pieces—and what's a better investment than that?

Back in 1989, when John Giannini was hired by Rowan University to coach the men's basketball team, he arrived in Glassboro already with a list of credentials as long as his last name.
Just 26 years old, Coach G was already fresh off a Final Four, serving as a graduate assistant for Lou Henson at Illinois.

|Inaccuracies introduced by single width blood pressure cuffs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21048776 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Blood pressure cuff dimensions directly affect accuracy of blood pressure measurements. For accurate blood pressure measurements, the width of the cuff must be proportional to arm circumference. A cuff that is too narrow results in falsely high blood pressure values, and a cuff that is too wide results in falsely low values. Some blood pressure standards permit a single width cuff regardless of arm circumference. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether 12 cm single width cuffs currently permitted by the British Hypertension Society (BHS) standard are sufficiently accurate to pass the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), BHS, and European Society of Hypertension (ESH) International Protocol (IP1) Working Group standards for accuracy. Each of 101 subjects was tested sequentially with both a single and a proportional width cuff in random order. Auscultatory blood pressure was determined by 2 observers using a double binaural stethoscope. Accuracy was determined by comparing the resulting differences with the AAMI, BHS, and IP1 standards for accuracy. The single width blood pressure cuff failed the AAMI accuracy standards for both systolic blood pressure on large arms and diastolic blood pressure on small and large arms, and overall. The single width cuffs, also, failed the BHS accuracy standards for diastolic BP. In conclusion, these single width cuffs could result in a significant number of people being misdiagnosed and mistreated for hypertension. Therefore, to avoid 'cuff hypertension' and 'cuff hypotension', the cuff width should be proportional to arm circumference.

Friday Night Twin Cedars Basketball Standout Lindsay Hoehns scored her 2,000th career points. With that she became only the fourth girls in Iowa High School Basketball History in the five-on-five era to accomplish that feat. Her coach Justin Nolte says even with all of her individual accomplishments…she still has the attitude of team and wanting to win each game. Hoehns says she wants the team to make the state tournament…something Twin Cedars has never done in girl's basketball. According to Nolle…she currently has 2,002 points and 1,087 rebounds in her career.

2 actresses run ragged in new showsMay 25, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
Rebecca Romijn stars as a private investigator in TNT's "King & Maxwell." In the pilot, the guy she's trailing suddenly sprints off. "Don't run," Ms. Romijn moans. We soon see why. As she pursues on foot, her gait looks like that of a praying mantis.
Same with Anne Heche in her new NBC sitcom, "Save Me." As part of a conversion experience, her character takes up jogging. Which would be fine, except that Ms. Heche's ungainly trot suggests she's trying to wade through barbed wire.
Advice for TV writers: Before you ask your leading ladies to act athletic, you might want to take them out for a test run.people

Why should someone who has invested time, effort and money in an expensive existing enlarger system setup throw it all away because of a now-obsolete bulb if a simple way can be found to extend that bulb's life?
I have a wall-mounted enlarger system. And 13 negative carriers, including 5 glass ones. And a 4-bladed masking attachment. And a micro-focusing attachment. And 7 enlarging lenses. And two 3-lens rotating turrets, one for modern Schneider optics and the other for period Kodak Ektar optics. The enlarger is directly mounted to a pair of 4x4 posts intentionally built into the wall and bolted to a concrete floor. The system has been custom modified and critically aligned to project onto a large polished birchwood workspace that was designed to accommodate a 16x20 Saunders easel as well as a 16x20 vacuum contact easel.
I'm supposed to throw all of that away and replace it with someone else's curb trash just because someone thinks I shouldn't even try to extend the life of a bulb?

|Through two rounds in this postseason, scoring is up slightly higher from the regular season. Franzen scores a hat trick in Game 4
There was an average of 5.44 goals (excluding shootouts) scored in the 1,230 regular-season games in 2007-08. Through 68 games in the first two rounds of this year's playoffs, there were 373 goals scored, an average of 5.49 per contest.
That's not a big jump, but it's a significant change from recent years.
There were 5.76 non-shootout goals scored per game in the 2006-07 regular season, but that total dropped to 4.95 in the playoffs, a decline of more than 14 percent. In 2005-06, non-shootout scoring went from 6.05 goals per regular-season game to 5.65 in the playoffs, a 6.6 percent drop. In each of the previous four seasons, the decline from the regular season to the playoffs ranged from just over 9 percent to more than 14 percent, and in none of those four seasons, dating back to 2000-01, were there more than 4.80 goals scored per playoff game (the low was 4.40 in 2003-04).
Though scoring has dropped from its heyday in the early 1980s, the trend of fewer goals in the playoffs was true then, too. In 1981-82, the high point for goal production in that era with 8.03 per game in the regular season, the playoff average fell to 7.11, a decline of 11.5 percent; counting the first two rounds only, the decline was still 8.3 percent.
What advantage? — In theory, there's an edge to having the home-ice advantage — you get to start the series at home, and if there's a Game 7, it's in your building. Sounds nice, but it hasn't been the case in the conference finals.
Since the NHL went to the current playoff format (No. 1-through-8 in each conference qualify for the playoffs), just 13 of the 26 teams with the home-ice advantage in the League's Final Four have advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. Only three times (2001, 2002 and 2004) have both teams with home ice made it to the Final. Last year was the third time (along with 2003 and 1996) in which neither team did — Buffalo was eliminated by Ottawa in five games and Detroit lost in six to Anaheim, which went on to win the Stanley Cup.
The team with the home-ice edge in the Western Conference has had more trouble than its Eastern Conference counterpart: The higher-seeded team in the West has lost eight of the 13 series, including four in a row. Detroit, this year's top seed in the West, was the last higher-seeded team to advance — in 2002, when the Wings won their last Cup. The higher-seeded club in the East is 8-5, and Ottawa's loss in 2007 broke a five-year winning streak.
Quick — If it seems like the conference semifinals have been going faster than they used to, it's largely because they have.
The four winners in this year's second round needed just 20 of a possible 28 games to make it to the NHL's Final Four, the second time in three years that's happened. Last year's second-round winners needed 22 games.
In contrast, the three previous years, beginning in 2001, saw 25, 25 and 24 games played; no season under the current format has had more than 25. The second round in 2001 was unique in that it had three series go to the full seven games — and the other end in a four-game sweep.
There were also 24 games played (an average of six per series) in 1999 and 1996. The 24 games in '96 were seven more than the record low of 17 in 1995 (16 is the absolute minimum).
|Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist became only the fourth goalie in NHL history to face two penalty shots in one playoff year. VIDEO
Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist became only the fourth goalie in NHL history to face two penalty shots in one playoff year when he stopped Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. He stopped New Jersey's John Madden in Game 5 of the opening round. Like Buffalo's Dominik Hasek in 2001 and Edmonton's Grant Fuhr in 1985, he stopped both. The other goalie to face two in one year, the Rangers' John Vanbiesbrouck in 1992, was beaten by Pittsburgh's Jaromir Jagr on May 11 but stopped Shawn McEachern two nights later.
Howe about that? — A couple of Gordie Howe's records have been taking a beating in the playoffs.
Detroit's Johan Franzen surpassed "Mr. Hockey's" franchise record of eight goals in a playoff series when he got nine in the second round against Colorado (Franzen's 11 through two rounds are already more than any Red Wing had amassed in one playoff year, and he broke Howe's regular-season team record for game-winning goals in a month by getting six in March). Franzen also tied a Wings record held by Howe (1949 and 1964) and Ted Lindsay (1952) when he scored in Thursday night's 4-1 win over Dallas — giving him goals in five consecutive playoff games.
Philadelphia's R.J. Umberger also matched one of Howe's accomplishments when he scored eight goals in the Flyers' second-round takeout of Montreal. Umberger's eight goals matched Howe's eight in the 1949 semifinals as the most goals ever scored against the Canadiens in one series. Howe got his eight in seven games.

The spark that set off the U.S. Civil War was the artillery bombardment of Fort Sumter, S.C., in April 1861. This unprovoked attack on a United States military base was ordered by Jefferson Davis, Confederate president. Abraham Lincoln, as the duly elected president of the United States, then called for volunteers to come to the aid of their country in a military response to this act of rebellion.
Lincoln had warned in his inaugural address that acts of violence against federal property would be considered insurrectionary. As commander-in-chief of the United States, he had no choice but to retaliate. The southern rebels started the war, plain and simple.
The leaders of the Southern rebellion hated Lincoln for his opposition to slavery. Between his election in November 1860 and inauguration in March 1861, seven Southern states announced their withdrawal from the United States. They believed that the labor system of African slavery, the bedrock institution of the Southern economy and way of life, would be abolished by a federal government led by Lincoln and his Republican party.
Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas published statements that were explanations or "declarations of the causes of secession." These statements are easily accessible in books on the subject and on the Internet.
The second paragraph of Mississippi's declaration begins: "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest in the world." It goes on to criticize the federal government, the northern states, and the Republican party for not returning runaway slaves to their masters in the South, for not allowing the expansion of slavery into the new territories of the west, and for encouraging abolitionists to continue their campaign to end slavery.
The South Carolina declaration castigates Lincoln as a man "hostile to slavery," and one whom the people of their state will not recognize as their president. The language of the Texas statement is the most colorful of the four. All these statements clearly state that in the minds of southern leaders, the main issue dividing the country was slavery.
Some will note that the majority of Southern whites did not own slaves. This is true. But the leaders of southern states were all slave owners: governors, delegates to the Confederate convention in Montgomery, Ala., in February 1861, members of the Confederate cabinet, Jefferson Davis, president, and military leaders such as Robert E. Lee.
The Confederate vice president, Alexander Stephens of Georgia, was a slave owner who gave one of the most famous speeches of all to an exuberant crowd in Savannah in March 1861. In it he praised slavery as the "cornerstone" of the Confederacy and the southern way of life. This speech is available to anyone with Internet access or a library card.
Lincoln liked to say, "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." Davis, Stephens, and the other Confederate leaders believed just the opposite. They openly and publicly preached that slavery was a positive good and the natural condition of African people. And to defend, perpetuate, maintain, and expand this peculiar institution, they set into motion the tragic events which tore our nation in two.
After the rebel attack on Sumter, which successfully forced the surrender of that U.S. fort and the removal of the U.S. flag and the U.S. soldiers from it, the war was on. It was an extremely bloody conflict which caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, billions of dollars of property damage, and untold suffering. At the end of four years, the South was defeated, the Confederacy was dissolved, and the slaves were freed. The Civil War was the worst thing that ever happened to this country. And the main cause was slavery, without which it never would have happened.

Glawes honored as Century Farm
Nestled in a lush valley at the end of a steeply meandering road sits one of Clayton County's most beautiful farms. Owned for 100 years by the Glawe family, the farm, which is located just off Highway 13 a bit north of Elkader, could've been inspiration for a Grant Wood painting: well groomed yards, gently rolling fields, and pristine barns and sheds.
Pride of ownership is evident in every detail from the autumnal decorations welcoming visitors to the two homes located there to the manicured borders of the lane leading to those two houses. There's also unmistakable pride in the way the Glawe family talks about the farm and what it's meant to them to work the land these past several decades.
"It's not an easy life but it's a good life," said Teresa Sass, who works the farm with her husband, Rich. "The work is hard. There are nights in the summer when we finally come in at 9:30 or 10—not because the work is done but because it's gotten too dark to see. But even with those hours, it's a good job and a great lifestyle."
The Glawes were one of five Clayton County families honored with a Century Farm distinction at the 2013 Iowa State Fair. The honor recognizes 100 years of family ownership.
Herman Glawe, who was only 8-years-old when his family left Germany for the U.S., started the farm in 1913 with 240 acres of land. The land sustained his large family of eight children (plus a son who died in infancy). Herman died at the age of 56 when his twin sons, Harold and Harley, were just boys. The twins later purchased the farm, assuming full responsibility for it when they were just 17.
"This was during World War II and my brother and I thought about joining the Navy," Harley said. "But the military needed food for the soldiers so they wouldn't take us."
"You should've seen it when my brother and I took over," Harley continued. "You couldn't get across the ditch when it rained. We did everything by hand, too. We even built a bridge using just manual labor."
Harley and his wife, Irma, lived in the original home place where they raised four children, including Teresa. Harold and his wife lived in a second house just a stone's throw away. The two brothers farmed together until Harold's death just 17 years later. Harley bought out his brother's share of the farm. Harold's widow stayed on in the "new" farmhouse for several years. Teresa and Rich live there now, and have worked the land for more than 40 years. The farm has nearly quadrupled in size to 940 acres.
"I guess you could say we're our own village," said Theresa, reflecting on all of the family members who've made their home on the farm.
Once a dairy, crop and hog operation, the farm's current focus is cattle and crops. Teresa and Rich handle most of the work themselves, though season help is sometimes brought in. Harley "retired" from farming in the early '90s but he still "supervises" the operation from his front door.
"He's still up at 5:30, just like when we were milking and he still has to know what's going on," said Irma, a one-time "city" girl—she was raised in Garber—who, with characteristic candor, admits to hating the first five years of farm life. "We'd go to family gatherings and we were always the first to leave because our day started so early. I hated that."
She came to love the lifestyle as did her son-on-law, Rich, who left high school thinking he'd be a teacher but soon realized he was better suited for farming.
"I guess I just like the feel of dirt under my fingernails," he said.
The family isn't certain who will run the farm when Rich and Teresa retire. None of their three children seem interested, although a son has mentioned leaving his engineering job to get back to the land. Everyone agrees, however, that the farm will stay in the family even it the land is rented out.
"This farm is a special place and for me, it makes me feel so connected to my past," Teresa said, who, like her father, has lived her entire life on the family farm. "It's like a security blanket or a favorite stuffed toy. It's something that's always with me. I do my best thinking when I do fence checks, and one of the things I always think about is what grandpa would say about the changes we've made. I think he'd be very proud."

An estimated $42.7 million in improper authorizations for payment was made by state employees responsible for passing along federal funds spent to help low-income Missouri families pay for day care, according to a state review.
The review, which has been required by federal rules, found that a third of 278 cases handled by the Missouri Department of Social Services had errors such as improper or missing authorization. An improper authorization doesnt necessarily mean that an improper payment was actually made but that there were problems with the paperwork.
In addition to the review, state audits have raised repeated questions about payments made under Missouris program to help low-income families pay for day care.
In the fiscal year that ended in June 2012, Missouris Department of Social Services paid about $172 million to more than 8,200 child care providers, according to the most recent state audit.
Missouri told federal authorities the state plans to start a quality assurance review and develop specialized training to cut down on the error rate. The error rate is less than fiscal 2011, when it was 51.8 percent and there was an estimated $64 million in improper authorizations for payment.
Proposed federal regulations for day care would remove the requirement that states estimate how much in federal subsidies had improper authorizations, a provision that was questioned by Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich.
It is the policy of my office to encourage federal, state and local governments to be more transparent and accountable with all taxpayer funds, not less, Schweich said.
Ted Froats, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said federal authorities will estimate the totals with information about the error rates from the states.
Removing the requirement will actually standardize the estimates by having them all conducted on our end, Froats said. It will also make the reporting process easier, saving man hours.
A 2013 audit found that the agency doesnt have sufficient controls to prevent or detect payments that are made on behalf of families who arent eligible for the program or improper payments made to day care providers. The audit looked at information on payments made for 60 children during fiscal 2012. DSS couldnt find the eligibility files for five of those children. Thirty-seven percent of the payments reviewed werent supported by adequate documentation or werent in compliance with DSS policies.
The agency implemented new controls after similar findings in two previous audits, but the 2013 audit said that policies still arent strong enough.

Re: Stanley Cup 2013
Wow! That was freakin insane! Seriously, like I could hardly relax and enjoy the game. I was defeated going into overtime. They kept their game up though.
Coming back from down 3 games to 1. I THINK this is the first time a team I was totally rooting for has done that.
Seabrooke's goal was sweet. No taking THAT one back. I'm stoked. Amazing.
Honestly, for Red Wing fans, man that team played great. Zetterberg and Howard were game changers.
Of course, thee goals disallowed in one series? Two of them VERY questionable, and total game changers. Wonder if that's a record?
Go Hawks!

'Fun Size' will offend and disappoint most viewers.
2.5 of 10
PG-13 for crude and suggestive material, partying and language.
Director: Josh Schwartz
Stars: Victoria Justice, Jackson Nicoll, Jane Levy, Chelsea Handler, Thomas McDonell
Length: 90 minutes
There is something admirable about Fun Size.
Not in how it succeeds, because it doesnt. Rather, in how bad it is on so many levels, in how it will offend and disappoint different segments of its audience for different reasons. Its an equal-opportunity bad movie. Something to hate for everyone!
Victoria Justice stars as Wren, a senior in high school. That she is the star is no great surprise; Nickelodeon is one of the studios responsible for Fun Size, and Justice stars on the Nickelodeon show Victorious. Like its rival the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon leaves no stone unturned in promoting its stars.
What may come as a surprise, however, is Justice starring in a movie in which characters pantomime sex and several characters, including small kids, utter words like bitch.
Well now. Thats going to raise some parental eyebrows.
There is nothing wrong with Justice wanting to grow up. No one wants to be trapped in a kid show forever. But with Fun Size and a smaller role in the recent The First Time, shes making some questionable decisions as she moves forward with her career. She deserves better.
So do the rest of us.

Faith Evans
FaithfullyRelease Date: 09/20/2004
Given Faith Evans' somewhat spotty track record and Puff Daddy/P. Diddy's slippage since his name change, it might have made some sense to greet Evans' third album, Faithfully, with a bit of skepticism. As it turns out, such doubts were unwarranted, since this is her grittiest, funkiest, best record to date. There are so many collaborators on each track and so many producers -- usually around five songwriters for each track (but if a song is sampled, as many as 14 writers are credited) -- that it seems a minor miracle that it holds together at all, but Faithfully gels better than any previous Faith Evans record, in large part because so much of it is devoted to hard-edged, funky dance numbers, whether it's hip-hop-influenced cuts like "Alone in This World" or the wonderful eo-disco "Back to Love." This switch from her previous album, which emphasized allads and mid-tempo grooves, gives the album more character, since the dance numbers mix well with the sultrier numbers and they both work equally well. If the album is hurt by anything, it's its length -- like most modern hip-hop-related albums, it runs too long -- but it is rich with vibrant songs, lively production, and Evans' best singing to date on what ultimately is not just her best album, but another excellent female urban RB album in a year overflowing with them. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Dell outs special edition Studio 15 notebook
updated 01:20 pm EST, Tue March 3, 2009
Dell Special Edition
Dell today unveiled a limited run of its 15.4-inch Studio notebook, appropriately named the Studio 15 Special Edition. Compared to the standard Studio 15s, the Special Edition gets an LED-backlit display and a Black Vapor exterior paint scheme. Technically, the Special Edition is available in three separate trims with various levels of equipment. All share a 2.0GHz Intel Pentium dual core CPU and Intel's integrated 4500MHD graphics processor, while the display has a 1440x900 resolution, a step up from the regular Studio 15's 1280x800 resolution.
Otherwise, the Special Editions are nearly identical to the lesser Studio 15s, with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 as the standard-issue operating system, although the top-of-the-range Studio 15 Special Edition gets Home Premium 64-bit. Standard RAM is fixed at 3GB, though certain models get 4GB. Storage ranges from a 250GB hard drive to a 320GB unit in higher-end models.
The Special Edition Studio 15s are priced at $799, $849 and $949. The standard edition notebooks range in price from $599 to $849.

A spinal fusion surgery is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in turn should decrease pain generated from the joint. There are many approaches to lumbar spinal fusion surgery, and all involve adding bone graft to an area of the spine to set up a biological response that causes the bone graft to grow between the two vertebral elements and create a fusion, thereby stopping the motion at that segment.
For patients with the following conditions, if abnormal and excessive motion at a vertebral segment results in severe pain and inability to function, a fusion may be considered:
Other conditions that may be treated by a spinal fusion surgery include a weak or unstable spine (caused by infections or tumors), fractures, scoliosis or deformity.
How Spinal Fusion Surgery Works
At each level in the spine, there is a disc space in the front and paired facet joints in the back. Working together, these structures define a motion segment and permit multiple degrees of motion. Two vertebral segments need to be fused together to stop the motion at one segment, so that an L4-L5 (lumbar segment 4 and lumbar segment 5) spinal fusion is actually a one-level spinal fusion.
A spine fusion surgery involves using bone graft to cause two vertebral bodies to grow together into one long bone. Bone graft can be taken from the patient's hip (autograft bone) during the spine fusion surgery, harvested from cadaver bone (allograft bone) or manufactured (synthetic bone graft substitute).
In general, a lumbar spinal fusion surgery is most effective for those conditions involving only one vertebral segment. Most patients will not notice any limitation in motion after a one-level spine fusion. Only in rare cases should a three (or more) level fusion surgery for pain alone be considered, although it may be necessary in cases of scoliosis and lumbar deformity.
When necessary, fusing two segments of the spine may be a reasonable option for treatment of pain. However, spinal fusion of more than two segments is unlikely to provide pain relief because it removes too much of the normal motion in the lower back and places too much stress across the remaining joints.
There are several types of spinal fusion surgery options, including:

Jeffrey D. Sachs '76 is the Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia, an advisor to the United Nations, and one of the youngest Economics professors in Harvard's history. He talks to FM about virtue, occupation, and intellectual struggle.
1. Fifteen Minutes: Your new book, which came out earlier this month, is called "The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity." Let's start with that title, an allusion to Oliver Wendell Homes, Jr. who said, "Taxes are the price we pay for civilization." What do you believe is the price of civilization? Is it just taxes?
Jeffrey Sachs: I believe a commitment to civic virtue includes a regard for one's community, one's country, and the world. Paying taxes is part of that, but so are obeying the laws and promoting laws that are good for the community. And I think we have lost those civic virtues at the top of American society—or at least diminished them in recent decades. We are suffering badly as a result of that. We are in a society that is increasingly lawbreaking and corrupt in key institutions.
2. FM: That sounds pretty daunting. Which are the corrupt institutions to look out for?
JS: We've seen many scandals around stock options in compensations. We've seen many scandals around accounting. Recently, on Wall Street, we saw fraudulent financial behavior that contributed to the financial bubble and ultimately to a disastrous collapse. In recent months, major Wall Street companies have paid large fines to the SEC for having fraudulently packaged and sold bundles of securities that they knew were going to fail ... But even though fines have been paid, I'm not sure how much accountability has been achieved. The fines were generally small fractions of the profits that were earned in this bubble. I worry that the moral hazard of having behaved this way—having been bailed out, having incurred modest fines—may actually be encouragement to more recklessness.
3. FM: Virtues are another part of your book's title. What kinds of virtues need to be reawakened in these corrupt institutions?
JS: Well, I talk about virtues at many different levels. Aristotle and Buddha are two of the sages I refer to in the book in order to emphasize that, at an individual level, virtue involves a middle path between asceticism and hyper-consumerism. And I discuss in the book my feelings about American society becoming hyper-commercial. At the individual level it becomes dangerous, as we have all become vulnerable to the weight of advertising and the remarkable amount of TV watching ...
4. FM: You mentioned Buddha as a model for individual virtue. Buddha created his Eight-Fold Path, and in your book the solution you prescribe to American economic upheaval is a set of eight goals: a sort of Jeffrey Sachs Eight-Fold Path. Is that all a coincidence?
JS: Well, both Buddha's Eight-Fold path and the eight goals I recommend in the book share a similar purpose in bringing the long-term to attention. Right now in the U.S. we are so relentlessly short-term in our debates, discussions, and policy-making that we have lost sight of the longer-term purposes.
5. FM: You have always played a large role in promoting the Millennium Development Goals. There were also eight of those, right?
JS: Yes, and you know with the Millennium Development Goals, those have been enormously helpful in organizing action—in helping countries to focus on important things. Even if countries don't get there on time, and many will not, the greater intention to inspire crucial efforts like fighting poverty, hunger, and disease has kept up enormously.
6 FM: So you think that setting goals makes a significant difference in how countries ultimately act?
JS: Yes, definitely.
7. FM: For example?
JS: It's a commonplace observation, but it has not been corrected [that] we have substituted the measure of GNP for many things that are more important in our lives and in our economy.

For the past several years, I've haven't been known to imbibe. But on Monday night, I found myself hitting the sauce.
Don't get the wrong idea. My adventure with the sauce was part of a East Grand Forks Community Education class at Senior High School. Actually, it was the first of three beginning cooking classes for men. The goal of the class is to give men who don't have a lot of experience with cooking an introduction into something that always used to be the domain of women, although this has been changing in the past decade or so.
Granted, there are some men who like to cook, but the majority of them do most of it on a grill. The kitchen is a foreign place to them.
When asked by Greg Leigh about teaching the class, I thought segments on sauces, soups and salads would be a good place to start. Since then, I've decided to drop the salad class in favor of one focusing on meat.
On our first night, I mixed up an easy homemade barbecue sauce that was complemented with some pulled pork and pheasant and served on small buns. I also talked about a couple of other sauces that are simple to make and wouldn't be hard for novices.
Among the other sauces that I talked about was a meatless marinara, which can contain any number of fresh vegetables, including carrots, peppers and mushrooms. Or it can be strictly tomatoes, tomato paste and sauce with onions, garlic and celery.
Here are a couple of variations of that sauce that will elevate a box of pasta to the heights of culinary excellence.
Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter
1 28-ounce can peeled tomatoes, crushed, with the juice
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 large onion, peeled and cut in half
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook, uncovered, at a slow but steady simmer, for 45 minutes, or until the fat floats free from the tomatoes.
Stir from time to time, mashing any large pieces of tomato in the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt. Discard the onion before tossing sauce with pasta. Yield: About 2 cups of sauce, enough for 1 to 1½ pounds of pasta.
Note: Serve the sauce with grated Parmesan.
Italian-American Meat Sauce
½ cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
½ small onion, peeled but intact
1 14-ounce can tomato paste
4 ounces (1 tomato-paste can's worth) red wine
4 leaves fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
2 pounds meatballs or Italian pork sausage, browned in a skillet
Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until golden brown. Remove and discard. Add tomato paste and stir into oil. Fill tomato-paste can with wine, swish it around to get excess paste, and pour into pot. Add basil, salt and pepper, turn heat up and stir until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Add canned tomatoes to the pot, rinsing out each can with water and adding that water (about 2 cups) to the pot. Adjust heat so sauce simmers slowly, and cook, with the lid askew, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and silky, 1 to 1½ hours. Add browned meat and cook for up to an hour longer.
Serve sauce with pasta and place the meatballs or sausage on a separate platter.
Yield: Makes enough sauce for 1½ pounds pasta.
Quick Tomato Sauce
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 sprig fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon of either, dried (optional)
1 28-ounce can peeled tomatoes
Salt and pepper
Film the bottom of a skillet with oil and add garlic and herbs, if using. Turn heat to medium and cook until garlic just starts to color, but doesn't brown. Add tomatoes and a big pinch of salt.
Crush the tomatoes with a potato masher. Bring contents of pot to a brisk simmer and cook until thick.
Give the sauce a good grinding of pepper and taste for salt. Fish out the garlic and herbs before serving.
Yield: Makes about 2 cups, enough for 1 to 1½ pounds pasta.
Ragu Bolognese
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 carrots, finely chopped (about 1½ cups)
3 ribs celery, finely chopped (about 1½ cups)
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground veal (or another pound of beef)
Freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup dry white wine (optional)
2 cups whole milk
1 28- or 35-ounce can tomatoes
Place butter, oil, carrots, celery, parsley, onion and 1 teaspoon salt in a large, heavy Dutch oven. Cover and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat begins to sizzle, then uncover and cook until vegetables soften, become translucent and lose some of their brightness. (Vegetables should not brown; you may have to turn heat down to low.)
Still over medium to low heat, add meat, another teaspoon of salt, a good grinding of pepper and nutmeg. With a large spoon, break up meat, smearing it against the bottom of the pot, so it's well integrated with the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until meat loses all of its raw color and begins to look a bit granular, about 10 minutes. Add wine, turn heat up to medium high, and cook, stirring constantly, until wine is evaporated and the bottom of the pot looks almost dry, about 10 minutes.
Pour milk into pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer slowly until the milk evaporates, about 45 minutes. Stir frequently — especially toward the end — and make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add tomatoes, crushing them with your hands before adding them to the pot. Rinse out the tomato can with about a cup of water and add to pot. Turn down heat to a very low simmer; bubbles should only occasionally break the surface. Cook for 3 hours uncovered.
Yield: About 2 quarts.

Nike adds new FuelBand SE to Apple's Online Store a day early
updated 07:14 pm EST, Tue November 5, 2013
Gadget now uses Bluetooth 4.0 for better battery life
A day earlier than previously announced, the new Nike+ FuelBand SE has debuted on Apple's online store, selling for $150. The device, which measures movement and fitness activities, now stays continuously connected to the user's iPhone 4s (or later) or fifth-generation iPod touch (or later) through its Bluetooth 4.0 connection. In addition to a more rubberized design with color accents, the new FuelBand works with the Move app released yesterday.
The product also features a one-button-controlled LED, features hourly reminders, can categorize different types of movement (such as running or walking) and non-movement (sitting, sleeping) into "sessions" and is generally able to offer more detailed information on a users' activity levels. The debut on Apple's online store may be an accident, as the product is still listed as being in "pre-order" status on Nike's website. It comes in three basic sizes (that can be adjusted somewhat) with four options for color accents: green, black, red and pink.
Users can tell the FuelBand how active they want to be and the app and band will work together to set reminders and motivators to stay active as a way to meet the goals. The accompanying app also adds a social aspect through Nike+ Groups, alerting others of the users' progress and helping to keep a circle of friends motivated.

Firefox 10 reaches Android
updated 06:20 pm EST, Wed February 1, 2012
As expected, doesn't support flash
Mozilla has released the latest mobile version of its browser for Android devices. Firefox 10 is now available for download (free, Android Market). As expected, the new version offers enhanced HTML5 support, but doesn't support Flash.
New features include implementation of anti-aliasing for WebGL, as well as supporting accelerated layers through OpenGL ES. The app has also fixed several bugs affecting how it handles HTML5. Mozilla has made it easier to set up Firefox Sync, its service for synchronizing bookmarks, history, passwords, and open tabs with another desktop or mobile device running the browser.
A lack of Flash was partly expected. In November, Adobe announced that it was stopping development on the plugin, acknowledging that HTML5, which was being pushed most by Apple, had become the de facto future standard for creating and deploying content in browsers running on mobile platforms. Adobe
pushed out its last version of the app, Flash 11.1, in December to support devices using Android 4.0. [via Android Central]

Prefects are student leaders who are juniors or seniors at WMA. The prefects assigned to each dormitory work closely with the dorm parents in assisting residents and have one dorm duty shift per week.Prefects are individuals who have a good rapport with students and faculty alike and are recognized to be students of character, integrity, and honesty. They are the voice of all boarding students.As role models, prefects serve as examples of healthy living to fellow students, ensuring an environment where students learn to respect each other, their space, and their belongings. Most importantly, prefects are expected to be active, positive contributors to the quality of life at the Academy.
The members of the Student Government have the overall responsibility of providing student input for decisions that affect student and community life. They are the voices of the student body and plan and carry out school-wide activities in conjunction with the Dean's Office. The Student Government consists of class representatives and an elected chairperson. Representatives also serve as class officers.Additionally, Student Government members serve on the Rules and Discipline Committee with elected faculty members. The Rules and Disciplinary Committee reviews the Student/Parent Handbook and any recommendations for changes in school policy are forwarded to the full faculty for endorsement at the end of each academic year. The committee is also responsible for hearing discipline cases in which a student is liable for dismissal and for making recommendations to the Head of School for final action.
