Vol State History Professor Named Davidson County Historian
Submitted on March 10, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Volunteer State Community College History Professor Carole Bucy has been named the Historian for Davidson County. She replaces John Connelly who is retiring after 16 years in the position. Recommendations for the position were made to Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, who appointed Dr. Bucy to the position. The Metropolitan Council approved the appointment.
Dr. Bucy is considered to be an expert in the history of the Metropolitan Nashville Charter, which formed a metropolitan government for Nashville and Davidson County in 1963, after much debate. The complete metro government consolidation was one of the first of its kind in the nation and still serves as a model for other governments considering consolidation. In her position as Davidson County Historian, Bucy says she will be an advocate for local history.
"The job is to some degree what you make it," said Bucy. "I see my number one job as facilitating groups and organizations to collect and preserve their history."
Dr. Bucy has been teaching at Vol State for the last 16 years. She led the federally funded TEACH grant for six years. It reached more than 300 Middle Tennessee secondary school teachers in a professional development program to show teachers new ways to engage students and use direct sources for teaching history. Bucy has written two textbooks about American and Tennessee history that are being used by schools across the state. She is the current vice president of the Tennessee Historical Society.

Project Gettysburg-León
this wiki
Solar Ovens for Nicaraguan Women is a non-governmental organization, whose long acronym in Spanish is FUPROSOMUNIC. The organization holds two-week workshops that train primarily poor, rural women how to build and use their own solar oven. The workshop also explores the use of the solar ovens, solar dryers and solar methods of water purification to produce dried fruits and teas that to be sold at local markets. They have been able to offer the workshops with the support from Project Gettysburg-León (PGL), a Sister City project supporting sustainable development between Gettysburg, PA and León, Nicaragua.
In addition to giving participants basic carpentry skills, a safer, healthier and more ecological way of cooking, and income-generating opportunities, the trainings serve as encounter groups for the women to share and address personal and community concerns. For example, in the very poor community of Monte Horet outside León, where more than half the homes are little more than shacks with walls of plastic tarp and cardboard, all 10 of the women involved in a solar oven workshop overcame issues of past personal conflicts to build their ovens. Not only were the women surprised at what they could do, but so were the men in the community. They didn't think women were capable of doing such work!
As a result of the success of this training, with PGL's assistance, there are now two future projects planned – a second solar ovens workshop to build 10 more ovens in Monte Horet, and a fund to be established for the women in both workshops to purchase wood-conserving stoves as a complement to the solar ovens. PGL and FUPROSOMUNIC will donate half the costs of the wood-conserving stoves (priced approximately $100 each), with the other half paid by workshop participants through a group loan that will be paid back over 10 months.
PGL and FUPROSOMUNIC also sponsored a one-day event at LaSalle College in León, a technical school that focuses on alternative energy. Monte Horet "graduates" taught college faculty how to construct a solar oven to be displayed at the college's environmental fair, and the college staff were impressed with the community women's professionalism and exacting standards. For the women of Monte Horet, it was a tremendous boost to their self-esteem, as they had never imagined themselves as teachers to college professors!

NEW ORLEANS, Texas - Wednesday's focus at the National Hurricane Conference was mitigation – things we can do to reduce the losses when storms hit.
I had the privilege of talking about mitigation ideas with colleagues from the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes – FLASH. Pictured with me are FLASH CEO Leslie Chapman Henderson and DIY expert Ed Del Grande. We were launching a new feature with FLASH called Mitigation 2.0, an online app that provides what we believe will provide relatively simple and easy to understand steps and guidelines to help homeowners prepare their homes to better resist the impacts of adverse weather. The idea came about after results from a Harris Survey following last hurricane season showed relatively few people intended to do the things we know work in mitigation – like having flood insurance, building or purchasing window covering or adding water barriers to the roof.
Included in the launch was a really cool mobile app, FLASH WX Alerts, which provides a sophisticated platform for receiving weather alerts issued by the National Weather Service, radar images, and access to things you can do to remain safe and prepare for adverse weather. The app is GPS-oriented, thus you can get warning wherever you travel, plus you can customize the setting to the information you want. To find out more or get the app, go here:
Now is the time to begin preparing for hurricane season. At this time of year, I like to review my plans, make a shopping list of food and medications I want to have on hand and make sure my cars are in good working order. Just common sense stuff!
Hurricane season starts in 65 days.

The Tanzania Football Federation's disciplinary and reconciliation committee under chairmanship of former Police Commissioner Alfred Tibaigana, has reduced suspensions to Yanga players and increased fines resulting from pitch violence offence committed at the National Stadium on March 10.
Tibaigana's committee has strongly denounced Young Africans leadership for not condemning the violence and instead it rushed to appeal for reduced sentences of its players.
The committee has expressed disappointment over the pitch violence by the Yanga players during their premiership match against Azam.
The committee met on April 4 in Dar es Salaam and worked out on the appeal lodged by Young Africans to protest against the rulings of the Mainland premier league committee on the suspensions and fines imposed to their players resulting from the pitch violence.
Yanga had submitted two appeals to the disciplinary and reconciliation committee, the first lodged on March 11 claiming an annulment of the match against Azam.
The second was submitted on March 14 with details that contradicted the first as the club protested the suspensions and fines imposed on the players during the match.
Before the appeals were discussed Yanga opted to withdraw the first appeal.
Yanga left back Stephano Mwasika, who was found guilty of punching referee Israel Mujuni, has been slapped a fine to the tune of two millions and suspended for the rest of the ongoing season.
Yanga have five matches to play. The player was initially banned for a year and fined one million shillings.
Two other players, including midfielder Nurdin Bakari and Omega Seme, have been suspended for three matches and pay one million shillings fine each.
The committee reduced a six-match suspension imposed on defender Nadir Haroub to three matches after picking up a straight red card during the chaos.
However, he is supposed to pay a fine of one million shillings and waived an additional three-match suspension as imposed by the premier league committee earlier based on chapter 25(c) of the rules and regulations governing the league.
Yanga's substitute player during the match Jerryson Tegete has been reduced a six-month suspension to five matches and pay a fine to the tune of two million shillings.
Tibaigana's committee upholded the club's two 500,000/- valued fines imposed for crowd violence and conceding more than five warning cards as per section 32(1)and 25(1).
The committee said the suspensions and fines are effective the day the premier league committee had imposed.
Basing on that, players who have already served the suspensions will be free to play for the club subject to payment of the fines.
Tibaigana gave a verbal warning to the club officials to adhere to the suspensions and pay fines as otherwise an occurrence of similar offence in the future would result in more stringent disciplinary measures.
The Tibaigana committee declined to workout on Yanga's much touted appeal to protest about three-point loss to Coastal Union as it was not tabled.
Yanga were docked the three points by the premier league committee earlier this week as a result of fielding suspended defender Haroub in a match against Costal Union which they had won by a lone goal last Saturday in Tanga.
Haroub played the match as club officials played down his suspension resulting from a straight red card during the match against Azam on March 10.

With the beginning of prom season, the North Carolina Highway Patrol will conduct Operation "Drive to Live" all this week to reduce the number of teenage related traffic collisions and deaths.
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, young drivers, ages 15- to 20-years old, are more vulnerable to death and injury on our roadways - traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America and North Carolina.
Over 50% of teens killed in car crashes weren't using their seat belts.
Colonel Bill Grey, commander of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, says, "Our goal is to educate teenage drivers on the dangers of driving irresponsibly and more importantly, save a life."
Troopers will be enforcing all traffic laws around the state's schools and conducting traffic safety education programs at the high schools prior to the school year ending.

5 Toxic Stocks You Should Sell
Stockpickr) -- Buying stocks is the easy part of the investment game; the hard part is knowing when to sell. >>5 Stocks Poised for BreakoutsIt's been quite a run in 2013. Since the first trading session of the new year, the S&P 500 has climbed close to 16% higher. But with close to half a year ahead of us before we close the books on 2013, that breakneck pace isn't sustainable forever. The question is when and how we'll correct. Will it just be a slowdown or a more significant price crash? The answer is going to depend largely on the individual names you own. While some names with more robust relative strength will continue to plow higher, weaker names are starting to show cracks. That's why today we're taking a closer look at five "toxic" stocks you should sell. To be fair, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly "junk." >>5 Big Stocks to Trade Now I mean, they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, they're some of the worst positioned names out there right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms this summer. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in. For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution. >>5 Earnings Stocks Everyone Hates -- but You Should Love So, without further ado, let's take a look at five toxic stocks you should be unloading.BALTIMORE (

GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina senior left-hander Tyler Joyner has been dismissed from the Pirate baseball program according to an announcement from head baseball coach Billy Godwin Monday afternoon.
"We were made aware of an off-the-field incident involving Tyler last week," Godwin said. "I have made a determination that Tyler was in violation of our team philosophy and he has been dismissed from the team. As a program, we hold our student-athletes to a high standard and being held accountable for their actions."
Joyner, who was selected in the 35th round (pick 1,063) by the Kansas City Royals, appeared in 17 games (12 starts) posting a 6-2 record with a 3.01 ERA in 92.2 innings a year ago. The Red Oak, N.C. native struck out 68 batters while walking just 12, ranking 18th nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.67).

4 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: VCI, HCN, IVR, WIN
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
Valassis CommunicationsDividend Yield: 5.00% Valassis Communications (NYSE: VCI) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.00%. Valassis Communications, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provides media solutions primarily in the United States and Europe. The company has a P/E ratio of 9.68 The average volume for Valassis Communications has been 468,700 shares per day over the past 30 days Valassis Communications has a market cap of $961.0 million and is part of the media industry Shares are down 4.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday TheStreet Ratings rates Valassis Communications as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 63.14% to $23.45 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, VALASSIS COMMUNICATIONS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 0.07%.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and greatly underperformed compared to the Media industry average. The net income has decreased by 18.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $26.42 million to $21.67 million.
- The gross profit margin for VALASSIS COMMUNICATIONS INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 27.20%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 4.49% significantly trails the industry average.

It's called loyalty, I don't expect some members on here to understand.
By the way I hope Cas get over there money troubles. The Fev V Cas rivelry is huge in my family, it just would not be the same without both clubs.
This is not all about you. We all have a duty to the wider game as fans of whatever team we support. You should be terrified at the prospect of 500 fans turning out to see any respectable side and of RL as a whole taking any kind of backward step.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Test Overview
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity.
Why It Is Done
An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be done to:
- Diagnose epilepsy and see what type of seizures are occurring. EEG is the most useful and important test in confirming a diagnosis of epilepsy.
- Check for problems with loss of consciousness or dementia.
- Help find out a person's chance of recovery after a change in consciousness.
- Find out if a person who is in a coma is brain-dead.
- Study sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy.
- Watch brain activity while a person is receiving general anesthesia during brain surgery.
- Help find out if a person has a physical problem (problems in the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system) or a mental health problem.
How To Prepare
Before the day of the electroencephalogram (EEG) test, tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines (such as sedatives and tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, sleeping aids, or medicines used to treat seizures) before the test. These medicines can affect your brain's usual electrical activity and cause abnormal test results.
Do not eat or drink foods that have caffeine (such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate) for 12 hours before the test.
Since the electrodes are attached to your scalp, make sure your hair is clean and free of sprays, oils, creams, and lotions. Shampoo your hair and rinse with clear water the evening before or the morning of the test. Do not put any hair conditioner or oil on after shampooing.
To find certain types of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, you may have to be asleep during the recording. You may be asked not to sleep at all the night before the test or to sleep less (about 4 or 5 hours) by going to bed later and getting up earlier than usual. If your child is going to be tested, try to keep him or her from taking naps just before the test. If you know that you are going to have a sleep-deprived EEG, plan to have someone drive you to and from the test.
How It Is Done
An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be done in a hospital or in a doctor's office by an EEG technologist. The EEG record is read by a doctor who is specially trained to diagnose and treat disorders affecting the nervous system (neurologist).
You will be asked to lie on your back on a bed or table or relax in a chair with your eyes closed. The EEG technologist will attach several flat metal discs (electrodes) to different places on your head, using a sticky paste to hold the electrodes in place. A cap with fixed electrodes may be placed on your head instead of individual electrodes. In rare cases, these electrodes may be attached to the scalp with tiny needles.
The electrodes are hooked by wires to a computer that records the electrical activity inside the brain. A machine can show the activity as a series of wavy lines drawn by a row of pens on a moving piece of paper or as an image on the computer screen.
Lie still with your eyes closed during the recording, and do not talk to the technologist unless you need to. The technologist will watch you directly or through a window during the test. The recording may be stopped from time to time to allow you to stretch and reposition yourself.
The technologist may ask you to do different things during the test to record what activity your brain does at that time.
- You may be asked to breathe deeply and rapidly (hyperventilate). Usually you will take 20 breaths a minute for 3 minutes.
- You may be asked to look at a bright, flashing light called a strobe. This is called photic or stroboscopic stimulation.
- You may be asked to go to sleep. If you can't fall asleep, you may be given a sedative to help you fall asleep. If an EEG is being done to check a sleep problem, an all-night recording of your brain's electrical activity may be done.
An EEG takes 1 to 2 hours. After the test, you may do your normal activities. But if you were sleep-deprived or given a sleep medicine, have someone drive you home after the test.
How It Feels
There is no pain with an electroencephalogram (EEG).
If paste is used to hold the electrodes, some paste may stay in your hair after the test, so you will have to wash your hair to remove it. If needle electrodes are used (which is rare), you will feel a brief, sharp prick (about like having a hair pulled out) when each electrode is inserted. If electrodes are placed in your nose, they may cause a tickling feeling and, rarely, some soreness or a small amount of bleeding for 1 to 2 days after the test.
If you are asked to breathe rapidly, you may feel lightheaded or have some numbness in your fingers. This reaction is normal. It will go away a few minutes after you start breathing normally again.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a very safe test. The electrical activity of your brain is recorded, but at no time is any electrical current put into your body. An EEG should not be confused with electroshock (electroconvulsive) therapy.
If you have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy, a seizure may be triggered by the flashing lights or by hyperventilation. If this occurs, the technologist is trained to take care of you during the seizure.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. EEG test results are ready on the same or the next day.
There are several types of brain waves:
- Alpha waves have a frequency of 8 to 12 cycles per second. Alpha waves are present only in the waking state when your eyes are closed but you are mentally alert. Alpha waves go away when your eyes are open or you are concentrating.
- Beta waves have a frequency of 13 to 30 cycles per second. These waves are normally found when you are alert or have taken high doses of certain medicines, such as benzodiazepines.
- Delta waves have a frequency of less than 3 cycles per second. These waves are normally found only when you are asleep or in young children.
- Theta waves have a frequency of 4 to 7 cycles per second. These waves are normally found only when you are asleep or in young children.
In adults who are awake, the EEG shows mostly alpha waves and beta waves.
The two sides of the brain show similar patterns of electrical activity.
There are no abnormal bursts of electrical activity and no slow brain waves on the EEG tracing.
If flashing lights (photic stimulation) are used during the test, one area of the brain (the occipital region) may have a brief response after each flash of light, but the brain waves are normal.
The two sides of the brain show different patterns of electrical activity. This may mean a problem in one area or side of the brain is present.
The EEG shows sudden bursts of electrical activity (spikes) or sudden slowing of brain waves in the brain. These changes may be caused by a brain tumor, infection, injury, stroke, or epilepsy. When a person has epilepsy, the location and exact pattern of the abnormal brain waves may help show what type of epilepsy or seizures the person has. Keep in mind that in many people with epilepsy, the EEG may appear completely normal between seizures. An EEG by itself does not diagnose or rule out epilepsy or a seizure problem.
The EEG records changes in the brain waves that may not be in just one area of the brain. A problem affecting the entire brain—such as drug intoxication, infections (encephalitis), or metabolic disorders (such as diabetic ketoacidosis) that change the chemical balance in the body, including the brain—may cause these kinds of changes.
The EEG shows delta waves or too many theta waves in adults who are awake. These results may mean brain injury or a brain illness is present. Some medicines can also cause this.
The EEG shows no electrical activity in the brain (a "flat" or "straight-line" EEG). This means that brain function has stopped, which is usually caused by lack of oxygen or blood flow inside the brain. This may happen when a person has been in a coma. In some cases, severe drug-induced sedation can cause a flat EEG.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Moving too much.
- Taking some medicines, such as those used to treat seizures (antiepileptic medicines) or sedatives, tranquilizers, and barbiturates.
- Not eating before the test.
- Drinking coffee, soda, tea, or other foods that contain caffeine before the test.
- Being unconscious from severe drug poisoning or a very low body temperature (hypothermia).
- Having hair that is dirty, oily, or covered with hair spray or other hair preparations. This can cause a problem with the placement of the electrodes.
What To Think About
- If the doctor thinks that a person has epilepsy but the EEG is normal, the technologist running the EEG test may have the person look at a flashing light (photic stimulation), breathe fast and deeply (hyperventilation), or sleep during the test. These techniques sometimes show epileptic EEG patterns that did not show up at first. If epilepsy is suspected after an initial EEG, the doctor may repeat the EEG more than once.
- An EEG done during a seizure will almost always show abnormal electrical patterns. This makes an EEG useful when a doctor thinks that a person is having psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (also called pseudoseizures), which have no physical cause but can be caused by stress, emotional trauma, or mental illness. Psychogenic seizures do not cause abnormal electrical activity in the brain and will not show abnormal EEG results.
- Other tests that may also be done include:
- Video EEG. Video EEG records seizures on videotape and on computer so
that the doctor can see what happens just before, during, and right after a
seizure. This test can be very helpful in finding the specific area of the
brain that the seizures may be coming from. It is also helpful in diagnosing
psychogenic seizures, which may look like real seizures but do not affect the
electrical activity in the brain. Video EEG may be used short-term or
- Short-term monitoring is done on an outpatient basis and may last up to 6 hours.
- Long-term monitoring is done in the hospital and may last 3 to 7 days.
- Brain mapping. Brain mapping is a fairly new method that is very similar to EEG. With electrodes placed on the person's scalp to transmit the brain's electrical activity, a computer makes a color-coded map of signals from the brain. It is sometimes done to find a specific problem area in the brain that has already shown up on a regular EEG. Doctors are still not certain how brain mapping could be best used.
- Ambulatory EEG monitoring. In ambulatory EEG monitoring, the person is able to move around, and the test allows for long periods of time in recording of electrical activity in the brain. Fewer electrodes are attached to the person, and the person carries a small, portable recording unit. The recording may last for a full day or more, and the person is allowed to leave the hospital. Ambulatory EEG monitoring is not as accurate as a regular EEG.
- Video EEG. Video EEG records seizures on videotape and on computer so that the doctor can see what happens just before, during, and right after a seizure. This test can be very helpful in finding the specific area of the brain that the seizures may be coming from. It is also helpful in diagnosing psychogenic seizures, which may look like real seizures but do not affect the electrical activity in the brain. Video EEG may be used short-term or long-term:

Gov. Paul LePage's administration is using Friday's graduation ceremony at the Good Will-Hinckley school to praise the charter school model for its ability to offer parents another option.
FAIRFIELD, Maine (AP) _ The first students are preparing to graduate from a Maine charter school as Gov. Paul LePage looks to expand the model throughout the state and the political battle over school choice continues.
Ten seniors will graduate from the Maine Academy of Natural Sciences at Good Will-Hinckley in Fairfield Friday afternoon. It's the first charter school graduation since Maine enacted a law allowing the schools in 2011.
Gov. Paul LePage's administration is using Friday's ceremony to praise the charter school model for its ability to offer parents another option when their child's needs aren't being met at traditional public schools.
But critics, including teachers unions, say that charter schools aren't the answer to Maine's education problems and drain funds from struggling school districts.

Over 50 women practising female genital mutilation (FGM) in Iramba District, Singida Region, have finally abandoned it thanks to a five-year effective strategic campaign.
Iramba District Social Welfare Officer Hezron Msule said the campaign, which started in 2000 to 2005 led Nyilamba people to abandon FGM.
According to a survey conducted by The Guardian in collaboration with the Tanzania Media Women's Association (Tamwa), only few people practising it most of them are from neighbouring districts and regions.
Msule said the government's campaign was supported by the World Vision and Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Network (AFNET).
"The campaign, which lasted for five years, has been a great success because FGM is no longer practised in our district," he noted.
Msule explained that people, who were practising it fled to unknown destinations and those remaining in the district were given capital to establish other income generating activities.
Iramba District Commissioner (DC) Grace Mesaki said FGM had become history in their area.
"I started working in Iramba District in 2006 but I have never heard of FGM. The Nyilamba people have changed," said Mesaki.
Elizabeth Mkumbo from Lunsanga Village in Mtenkente Ward said FGM was believed to be traditional beauty and at least five girls were undergoing it every month.
"Women have decided to stop FGM as many girls were dying due excessive bleeding," she said.
Mtenkente Ward Council member Elias Shani said girls were now happier as FGM had been abandoned in the area. He said most of the people had no good reasons for practising it only that they considered it as a long time tradition.
Rebeca Mpinga from Kisiriri Village in Kisiriri Ward said the Nyilamba people were no longer undergoing FGM.
Village Executive Officer Amani Yumbya said they had succeeded in ending FGM through seminars. He noted that during the seminar plays were performed and villagers saw how FGM was practised and how women got complications during delivery and sometimes ended up dying.
Lunsaga Village Executive Officer Ramadhani Ilunde said they had successfully managed to eliminate FGM in their area.
Nguvumali Village Executive Officer Elisha Makala said the problem was serious in the past but now more people feared to be arrested.
Acting District Medical Officer Dr Jabir Juma said most girls undergoing risked HIV/Aids because they used same equipment.

The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States
Basic Books, 2001 - Political Science - 479 pages
Most Americans take for granted their right to vote, whether they choose to exercise it or not. But the history of suffrage in the U.S. is, in fact,the story of a struggle to achieve this right by our society's marginalized groups. In The Right to Vote, Duke historian Alexander Keyssar explores the evolution of suffrage over the course of the nation's history. Examining the many features of the history of the right to vote in the U.S.Ńclass, ethnicity, race, gender, religion, and ageŃthe book explores the conditions under which American democracy has expanded and contracted over the years.Keyssar presents convincing evidence that the history of the right to vote has not been one of a steady history of expansion and increasing inclusion, noting that voting rights contracted substantially in the U.S. between 1850 and 1920. Keyssar also presents a controversial thesis: that the primary factor promoting the expansion of the suffrage has been war and the primary factors promoting contraction or delaying expansion have been class tension and class conflict.

Group B Streptococcal Infections in Newborns
Topic Overview
What is group B streptococcal infection?
Group B streptococcal (group B strep) infection is a serious bacterial infection that is a leading cause of death and disability in newborns.
In the 1970s, about half of newborns with group B strep infection died. Today, due to early recognition and aggressive treatment of the infection, far fewer cases end in death.
What causes group B streptococcal infection?
Group B strep bacteria normally exist in the intestine, vagina, or rectum. A pregnant woman can transmit the bacteria to her baby during delivery. Some women are carriers of group B streptococcal bacteria, which means that they carry the bacteria but have no illness from it. It is unclear why some babies get group B strep infection and others do not.
Newborns may develop the infection hours after birth or during the first week of life, or it may happen several months later. Newborns who develop group B strep within the first week are most always infected by their mothers. It's not clear how babies who develop the infection later are exposed to the bacteria.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of group B strep may include high or low body temperature, irritability, low energy, raised respiratory rate, and trouble feeding. Newborns infected with group B strep may get a blood infection (sepsis) or lung infection (pneumonia). An infection of the fluid or tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) can also occur. Newborns thought to be infected with group B strep need medical care right away, as the infection can be deadly.
How is group B streptococcal infection diagnosed?
Pregnant women get tested for group B strep in the third trimester of pregnancy. Babies suspected of being infected are diagnosed at birth by testing their blood or spinal fluid or both for group B strep bacteria.
How is it treated?
Pregnant women who have group B strep infection or who are carriers of group B strep will be given antibiotics prior to delivery to prevent transmission of the bacteria to the newborn during delivery. If a woman is pregnant and has previously given birth to a child with group B strep infection or has had tests that show she carries the bacteria, she should be treated with antibiotics.
Newborns with the infection will also be given antibiotics. In addition to antibiotics, supportive care including fluids and ventilation will be given if needed. In some cases, a doctor will treat a newborn that is suspected of having group B strep infection before test results have shown infection. This is because not treating strep B infection in newborns can result in illness or death.
Having a baby by cesarean section does not prevent the transmission of group B strep bacteria.

A Dr. Phil Exclusive: Child Prostitute Links Sandusky to Pedophile Ring
Nearly 49 million Americans, including 16 million children, struggle with hunger every day. Join Dr. Phil in his call to action to raise enough money for 10 million meals and beat hunger in America. Donate today!
A Painful SecretGreg Bucceroni, 48, says that as a young boy in 1979, he was offered $200 to have sex with now-convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky as part of a tri-state, high-powered child porn ring, but the encounter never happened. Greg says it all began when he was a troubled 11-year-old boy in Philadelphia and — through an after-school program — met Ed Savitz, a philanthropist and then-advocate for at-risk children, who is now deceased. He says his mom thought Savitz would be a good mentor, but instead, he introduced Greg to the dark and dangerous world of drugs and child prostitution. Greg says after his first sexual encounter with Savitz — in exchange for $40 to buy a bicycle — he lost his innocence. He says Savitz began showering him with gifts, including money, drugs and alcohol, in exchange for sexual favors, and passed him around to his other pedophile friends. From ages 13 to 16, Greg says he had sex with at least 50 men.
Greg says on one occasion, Savitz and Sandusky planned a "child prostitution swap," where Sandusky would have one hour with Greg while Savitz spent the same amount of time with one of Sandusky's "favorite kids." Greg says he knew what was expected of him when he met Sandusky at the charity he founded for troubled youths, The Second Mile. "Sandusky wanted me to come up there to engage in child sex with him," he says. Greg says when he was introduced to Sandusky, he was expecting a "weaselly sexual deviant," but was surprised at what he found. "Nothing about this guy comes off as a pedophile," Greg recalls of the football coach at the time.
Must-See: Greg describes his alleged meeting with with Jerry Sandusky at a Second Mile event. Plus, hear what he says happened when late Penn State football head coach Joe Paterno was thought to be nearby.
Greg explains how he says he was lured into the dark world of child prostitution. Did he ever report the alleged abuse to police?
"This was like a mother's dream. This Savitz was going to save me from the streets, from a life of crime and violence."
"Hero" to Horror?State College, Pennsylvania-native Travis Weaver says he was just 10 years old when he met local legend Jerry Sandusky for the first time at a Second Mile summer camp. He says he idolized Sandusky, but things quickly changed after his football hero started molesting him about a month later.
"I was scared; I didn't know what to say," Travis recalls of the alleged abuse. "I did not know what was going on." Travis says Sandusky sexually abused him more than 100 times over a period of four years. He says the alleged encounters occurred in various places, including the coaches' locker room, Sandusky's home — mostly in the basement — and even during a trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. He also claims that Sandusky once asked his father if he could adopt Travis. How does he say he was able to escape the alleged abuse?
Does Travis believe Sandusky's wife, Dottie, knew what was allegedly going on in her home? And, hear about the moment Travis says the abuse finally stopped.
Latest InformationEd Savitz died of AIDS in 1993 — just days before he was to go on trial for multiple sex abuse charges. Jerry Sandusky is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison, after being convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse. He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 9, 2012.
Greg says he believes the child prostitution ring is still operating today. "Every time they went after Savitz, they only focused on Savitz, even though they had information about others," he says. "They never went after the network. This is the first time they're going after the network, at a federal level."
Travis says he feels Penn State should've done more to protect him. He's currently suing the university along with Sandusky and The Second Mile. Travis' attorney, Marci Hamilton, explains the basis of the lawsuit: "Penn State must have known that Jerry Sandusky was engaging in sex abuse," she says. "It was negligent and reckless to let Sandusky near these kids."

A horoscope is an astrological forecast of a person's future created by comparing the relative positions of the planets at the time of their birth to data on upcoming planetary movements, and their Zodiac sign.[1]
On 2 September, 1994, Sybill Trelawney gave her fourth year Divination students the homework assignment of creating a horoscope, using the personal chart she had them all draw up in class.[1] Two days later, in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Alastor Moody (actually Barty Crouch Jr. in disguise) caught Lavender Brown showing Parvati Patil her finished horoscope under the desk - with his magical eye - while he was speaking, and scolded her.[2]
By 1995, the Daily Prophet was running a horoscope section on its back page.[3]

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KSDK) - Members of Congress from both sides of the river are expressing concern after the Air Force's decision not to select Scott Air Force Base as a main operating center for the branch's next generation aerial refueling tanker.
"I am disappointed and concerned that the Air Force did not select Scott Air Force Base for the Air National Guard's first KC-46A's," said Senator Mark Kirk. "I am also concerned that Scott did not receive a site visit from Air Mobility Command until just yesterday. Scott's central location, capable Guard members, and proven track record make it an ideal candidate to serve as the Air National Guard-led Main Operating Base 2."
"I am very disappointed in the Air Force's decision not to select Scott Air Force Base - one of our nation's most important and valuable air bases - as a location for the KC-46A refueling tanker," said Senator Dick Durbin. "I will continue to work with my Senate colleagues and the Air Force on all future opportunities to utilize Scott's central location, superior infrastructure, and skilled and experienced workforce."
"The men and women serving at Scott Air Force Base, many of whom are Missourians, carry out missions critical to our national security interests around the globe," said Senator Claire McCaskill. "While I'm disappointed that Scott wasn't selected in this round of basing for the KC-46A, I'm confident that the base will continue to be a strong candidate for future basing decisions."
"I'm disappointed in the Air Force's decision not to consider Scott Air Force Base as the location for the Main Operating Base of the new refueling tanker," said Senator Roy Blunt. "I believe Scott is a strong candidate for this opportunity, and I'll continue to work with my colleagues to support our national security interests."
The Air Force selected five other candidate locations after a review of existing refueling bases.
In a letter written to the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force September of last year, Senators Kirk and Durbin highlighted the capabilities and world-class reputation of Scott Air Force Base.
The joint Illinois and Missouri delegation will continue to review the decision made by the Air Force.

When configured, Moin features two email-based services; sending mail, and receiving mail. Both are explained on this page.
The most common scenario is configuring your wiki to send mail, which is used in the following situations:
Any user can subscribe to changes of wiki pages by either clicking on the envelope icon , or by adding a regex to the "Subscribed wiki pages" field of his user preferences. The system then sends, whenever a page is changed and the author doesn't uncheck the "Send mail notification" checkbox, an email with the author, a link to the page, and the diff of the change. The author does not get notified of his own changes.
To configure mail-sending, the following options need to be configured in your wikiconfig.py file:
Variable name
From: header used in sent mails, e.g. mail_from = u'Wiki Notifier <email@example.com>'. [unicode]
"user pwd" if you need to use SMTP AUTH
IPv4 address or hostname of an SMTP-enabled server (with optional :port appendix, defaults to 25). Note that email features (notification, mailing of login data) works only if this variable is set.
If set to e.g. '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i', use this sendmail command to send mail. Default is to send mail by an internal function using SMTP.
In order to enable support for outgoing mails, you must specify the From: address with "mail_from". Furthermore, you must enable a transport, either by SMTP (use "mail_smarthost" to enable it) or by sendmail (use "mail_sendmail" to enable it). If you use "mail_smarthost" and the server requires authentication, then set "mail_login", too.
This value is used for the "From:" and "To:" headers in the emails sent (the "To:" has email address privacy reasons, email is not really sent to this address, but we don't want to disclose any real recipient address). The address is also used as the envelope sender and hence should exist so your wiki's emails are not blocked by spam filtering software.
This is only needed when you use mail_smarthost and a server that requires SMTP AUTH to send mail; in that case, set this to the username and password separated by a space, i.e. "user pwd".
This is the IP or domain name of an FOLDOC:SMTP enabled server. On a Unix host, you can try to use localhost; on a Windows machine this will normally be a machine in your LAN or some host of your ISP.
Moin is able to receive mails. Mainly, you need to know what the e-mail address of the wiki is and send a mail to it. If you supply the target pagename before the wiki address (typing MyWikiPage <email@example.com> for example), you will get your mail into the wiki quite easily.
If you want to import mails to your Moin wiki, i.e. allow it to receive and store the mails, you have to setup a few things.
First you have to setup your mail server to pipe every new mail into Moin. The command is moin xmlrpc mailimport. Note that you can use the parameter --config /path/to/dir to supply the path to a directory with a suitable Moin configuration file. Then you have to ensure that there is a file called mailimportconf.py in that directory.
Now you can configure the wiki. There are the following configuration options:
Variable name
The e-mail address(es) of the e-mails that should go into the wiki.
Special use, see below.
This is the template for the pagename generated by the mail import code.
['subject', 'to', ]
Where and in which order to search for the target pagename.
Special use, see below.
secrets or secrets["xmlrpc/ProcessMail"]
The secret that matches the one in mailimportconf.py configuration file.
A list of e-mail target addresses of e-mails that should go into the wiki. Moin searches for these addresses to know the target pagename, it should match the address that is known to the mail server. If you use some kind of forwarding mechanism, please put the address(es) your wiki users use to address the wiki first into that list and the address(es) you forward the e-mails to after that.
The default value of this setting is u"%s" and that just means "use the pagename unmodified". You could also configure it to be u"+ %s/" which would add a plus and a blank char in front of what we got and a slash char after what we got from the mail subject or target addr. This is to save your users some typing if you ever want the behaviour triggered by the plus and the slash.
Where (and in what order) to search for the target pagename, default is ['subject', 'to', ] to first look into the subject and then (if we didn't find anything there) to look into the target addresses.
The pattern (regex) we search in the subject line for determining the target pagename, default is r'\[\[([^"]*)\]\]' which simply looks for something like [[TargetPageName]] (same as freelink syntax).
The secret that matches the mailimportconf.py configuration file. The secret is used to let the script authenticate itself at the wiki. The URL consists of the regular wiki URL and ?action=xmlrpc2. It should look like this (there is a sample file shipped in wiki/config):
# This secret has to be known by the wiki server mail_import_secret = u"do_not_choose_a_too_short_secret_or_it_wont_work" # The target URL mail_import_url = u"http://localhost:81/?action=xmlrpc2"
After you have configured the settings explained above, you should be able sending yourself mails. The actual usage is explained below.
To: is (as usual) made of 2 parts, like TEMPLATE <email@example.com>. We use the "realname" part to make up the target page name template (can contain special chars, blanks etc.) and the email address part to get it to the right destination. The simplest form of a target page name template is just a pagename like WikiSandBox.
Subj: [[TargetPageName]] will work if you put it either at the beginning or the end of the subject. Subject: bla bla bla [[PageName/$date]]
The text of mails with such subject will be added to the pages
TargetPageName or PageName/2006-07-20T14:48:27
The full subject will also be used to build the change comment, prefixed with "Mail: "; variables are not replaced there.
The new page content is made from old page content (if any) plus the content of the email appended at the end. Page content will never get overwritten. Mails that are sent as alternative are shown with their HTML body on the page which is processed by a HTML parser.
If requested by a leading +-sign (e.g. + PageName/), Moin adds a table item to the parent page listing details about the e-mail.
The placeholders $from (containing the name of the sender), $date (the date) and $subject (subject line) are supported.
If the pagename ends with a slash, append the configuration setting email_subpage_template (see above) to the pagename.

Biogen Idec Inc Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (BIIB)
TheStreet) -- Biogen Idec (Nasdaq: BIIB) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations and growth in earnings per share. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 53.24% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, BIIB should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 7.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.9%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- BIIB's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.16 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, BIIB has a quick ratio of 1.61, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $507.91 million or 7.15% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -33.39%.
- BIOGEN IDEC INC reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, BIOGEN IDEC INC increased its bottom line by earning $5.76 versus $5.03 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($7.76 versus $5.76).

PHILADELPHIA -- Vice President Joe Biden will host a roundtable discussion on gun control in Philadelphia on Monday.
Biden will be joined at Girard College by law enforcement officials, U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole and Democratic members of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
President Barack Obama's administration is pushing for new gun-control measures in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14.
Proposals include a new ban on assault weapons, a ban on high-capacity magazines carrying more than 10 rounds of ammunition, and background checks for all gun sales.
Federal lawmakers expected to attend the event include Reps. Bob Brady, Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz, and Sen. Bob Casey.

The stage of cancer describes to what extent, or how far, the cancer has spread. By using exams and tests, a doctor can determine the stage of your cancer.
There are different staging systems used for cancer. Most cancers are staged with the Roman numerals I, II, III, and IV, based on whether the cancer is still contained within the area where it began, has started to spread into nearby tissues and/or organs, or has spread to more distant tissues and/or organs. Stage I is the earliest stage and usually means the cancer is still contained in the initial area of origin and hasn't spread. Stage IV is the most advanced stage, where cancer has spread far from the original site of development.
If you have been diagnosed with carcinoma of unknown primary origin (CUP), your cancer has spread from an unknown origin. Thus, you are considered to have advanced metastatic cancer, and by definition, the stage of your cancer is at least a stage II. It is likely that your cancer is a stage III or IV. If you have only a single site of known cancer, local treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy may help.

Julio Ochoa is the current Mayor of Liberty City. His most notable works have been done in 2008. He does not appear through the game but is mentioned frequently in the in-game media such as online WebSites and also during some missions and in the Higgins Helitours. The closest he came to an appearance was in The Lost and Damned, while Thomas Stubbs III receives a call on his cellphone from Johnny Klebitz, while Stubbs is in a meeting with the mayor. Jon Gravelli claims he was going to receive a visit from him in the Hospital, he also claimed that he was going to receive a visit from two US Senators.
Ochoa has a campaign to remove the sale or possession of firearms from the city and launched cases against Ammu-Nation stores across the country, these regulations, however, have proved massively ineffective to prevent crime.
During a HeliTour, the pilot mentions to Niko and the other tourists that Ochoa eased safety restrictions on helicopters and their pilots. Julio Ochoa also settled the Diamonds case when he allowed Jerry Kapowitz to keep all proceeds on the sale of the diamonds after he found them, despite over a hundred claims of their ownership. The reason given was that it would be impossible to verify the claims. It would make him extremely unpopular with a number of people in the Liberty City underworld. Apparently, his term may have ended as of the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars as Ammu-Nation is again up and running, although it is a website.
- It could be possible that Julia Ochoa is not the current mayor of Liberty City but, a man named Mongelli who is portrayed by an actor named Leo Hornstein during the GTA V in-game film called Meltdown.
