Alaska dining facility meal prices will increase as much as 11.4 percent for the breakfast meal and 10.6 percent for the lunch and dinner meals beginning Jan. 1.
"By regulation, the comptroller for the Secretary of Defense sets the rates every year for the Food Service Program," said Jim Dellwo, Garrison Food Services supervisor.
Dining facilities on forts Richardson and Wainwright will be affected.
"The new rates apply to all appropriated fund dining facilities, which include all military dining facilities in Alaska and the Military Academy dining halls," Dellwo said.
Diners qualify for either the discount or standard rate.
"Under the traditional meal system, there are two rates," he said. "Spouses and other family members of ranks private through specialist; members of nationally or locally sponsored nonprofit youth groups, such as Civil Air Patrol, Junior ROTC and Scouting units, pay the discount rate. Officers, enlisted members and federal civilian employees who are on duty or in a travel status also receive the discount rate. Officers and enlisted members receiving a subsistence allowance pay the standard rate."
It is still economical to dine at the DFAC, despite the increase.
"The new breakfast price will be $1.95 at the discount rate and $2.30 at the standard rate," said Fort Wainwright Garrison Dining Facility No. 2 manager Jerry Finklea. "This is an increase of 20 cents from what it is now. The lunch price will be $3.65 at the discount rate and $4.25 at the standard rate. Dinner will cost $3.65 at the discount rate and $4.25 at the standard rate. The prices of both lunch and dinner will increase 40 cents from last year's cost."
The price of brunch, supper, holiday meals and night snacks will also increase.
"Brunch will be $4.20 and $4.85; supper will be $4.95 and $5.95, holiday meals will be $5.95 and $7 (and) night snacks will be $2.30 and $2.70 at the discount and standard rates, respectively," Finklea said.
A la carte meals are managed differently.
"Bassett Army Hospital and the Air Force have a la carte," Dellwo said. "Each item on the menu is priced at 133 percent of the food cost, and the prices could change every week."
The increase is one of the largest cost increases in many years.
"Historically, the meal prices have gone up 5 to 10 cents every year," Dellwo said. "But this year, the cost is going up 20 cents."

Carl Edwards won the 54th Annual Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway despite the weather delays. Edwards won his 22nd career victory, under yellow flag conditions on lap 503, in 341 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
This is Edwards first win of the 2014 season, and his third top-10 finish. Edwards now has three victories at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"We're in the Chase and we're going to go out and win the championship," Edwards said in victory lane as the rain returned. "I just can't believe we turned this thing around, we were…it was terrible Saturday (during practice), just glad we turned this thing around."
Edwards beat Aric Almirola on the final restart of the race with 40 laps remaining and drove off while Almirola and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. battled for the second position. Stenhouse Jr. held off Almirola.
Roush Fenway Racing teammate Stenhouse Jr. finished second, admitted, "I was thinking that I would use the bumper if the opportunity was there. If you get the win, you're in the Chase and you can let the rest take care of itself later…I was thinking about doing whatever I could do to win."
Edwards had a sizable lead when suddenly the caution lights came on for no apparent reason with three laps remaining. NASCAR then made the call to end the race, as it immediately started to pour rain under the caution, giving the victory to Edwards.
NASCAR said after the race that someone in the flag-stand accidentally leaned on a switch to trigger the lights. NASCAR was then forced to issue a full caution 'when we realized that the override switch was on and they were hung on caution."
After the caution lights were turned on, 'we froze the field from the tower,' NASCAR added.
Weather in the area delayed the race by more than five hours, the race was scheduled for a 1:13 p.m. green flag, but the race didn't begin until 2:57 p.m. The drivers completed 124 laps when NASCAR dropped the red flag, as drivers parked their cars on pit road to wait out the rain delay about 3:45 p.m.
After three hours and 19 minutes, the race became a cold, night race under the lights beginning at 7:17 p.m., with Matt Kenseth at the helm.
Kenseth slowed to avoid Cole Whitt who spun, triggering the caution on lap 157 when rookie Tommy Hill drove into the back and destroyed the rear bumper of Kenseth #20 Home Depot/Husky Toyota.
After two stops under the yellow caution to repair the damage, Kenseth restarted in 29th the second to last car on the lead lap.
Within 22 laps with the competition caution NASCAR mandated due to the inclement weather. Kenseth didn't pit and moved to 16th and by the halfway mark of 250 laps, Kenseth was able to drive into the top five, with a little over 200 laps remaining Kenseth was leading once again.
Kenseth led a race high of 164 laps, but slipped from first to third due to damage on the rear end created trouble for changing the rear tires. Kenseth finished 13th on the lead lap.
With the rain delay at Bristol, another bizarre occurrence was some of the bigger names in NASCAR, who led the race, experienced tire problems, mechanical failure or crashes. Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Jamie McMurray, Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch all finished outside the top-10.
The next NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is the Auto Club 400 on Sunday, March 23, 2014 on Fox with coverage beginning at 3:00 p.m. eastern standard time.

The 'Prepositions' are a part of the parts of speech which connect words, clauses and sentences together and show the relations between them. In a sentence, the preposition shows relationships among other words in the sentence that include direction, place, time, cause, manner and amount.
He went to shop-here 'to' is a preposition and shows direction
She came on foot-here 'by' is a preposition which shows manner
We will be there by four o'clock- here 'by' is a preposition which shows time
The dog is under the bed-here 'under' is a preposition which shows place.
In a sentence, a preposition always goes on with a noun or pronoun and is called the object of the preposition. The preposition almost always follows a noun or pronoun and that is why it is called a preposition. The preposition along with object of the preposition together is called a prepositional phrase. Here are some examples for prepositional phases.
Prepositional Phrases:

There are over 100 prepositions in English language. The advantage of prepositions over the other parts of speech is that they do not change remain unaltered to the case, gender etc of the word they are referring to. Prepositions are classified into two types.
1) Simple prepositions: They are simply the prepositions involving only one word. This is the list of simple prepositions.
Off,Opposite,Out,Outside,Over,Past,Since,Through,To,Toward,Under,Underneath,Until,Upon,With etc.
2) Compound prepositions: These prepositions contain more than one word. Here is the list of most commonly used compound prepositions.
In between, Because of,In front of,On behalf of,In the middle of,According to,By means of,In addition to,In ,back of,In case of,In front of,In place of,In spite of,Instead of,On top of etc.
Prepositions are like idioms and are best learned through conversations and reading as much as possible. We recommend the following ways for you learn prepositions better
- Break the material down into bite-sized pieces. (With the list of prepositions, learn one column at a time.)
- Expose yourself to the material in a variety of ways: read it, recite it, read it aloud, and write it.
- If you are learning a concept or a rule, make sure that you are thorough with it as if you are both student and teacher.

As the original Dark Shadows unfolded, Jonathan Frid's interpretation of Barnabas Collins went through quite the metamorphosis from out-right villain to sympathetic vampire with a dark underside. YouTube user jowens0216 has created a video called "The Brutality of Barnabas Collins," which looks at poor Willie Loomis being punished for Barnabas' perceived betrayal by him. Clips come from the original series, 1970's House of Dark Shadows and the 1991 prime time version.
One comment
Interesting. I tend to view this early take on Barnabas as part of how he had largely failed to cope with being a vampire and just gave in to its darkness before his sister Sarah's ghost jolted him back towards who he had once been. In spite of the long sleep, from Barnabas' point of view, he hadn't really been a vampire all that long. It would take some time before the true Barnabas' personality would re-emerge and mostly conquer his darker, base and violent vampire urges.

I'm going to be fixing a family friend's computer later and won't be interacting with the computer owner personally, so I would like to have a readme.txt to automatically open the first time (and only the first time) he boots the computer so he can see what I did to fix the problems and what he should avoid having these issues in the future. Is there anyway to do this?
Open the Registry Editor, and add the filename as string to
Just leave him a post-it note... or two. Assuming you leave one note for each problem you fix... I assume you'll end up like this:
Make a .BAT file in his Startup folder
Just rename filename.txt and this_bat_file.bat to the proper names
Assuming this is a Windows machine, you could use Task Scheduler that is built into Windows.
Interesting - but why not just an email, so he can review it again if he likes?
Assuming you have your reasons, the method Luke mentions is a good one. On Windows 7 the startup folder for a user is:
C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Or you can try putting one in the default:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (<-- may have to create directory)
Considering your question , you wants to give some useful information and guides for him.
So I prefer instead of showing one time you may request him to save that document for his future reference.
So write the document and store it in some folder and put the shortcut link on Startup folder(Start->All Programs).
In the end of the document ask him to to remove the shortcut link.

Bradford and Andra Sachs were found dead in their California home over the weekend and authorities are still looking for a potential suspect. On Feb. 12, NBC Los Angeles went into a little more detail surrounding the case, and updated the public on the situation.
Bradford Sachs, 57, and Andra Sachs, 54 were once married but since divorced. They lived together in an Orange County mansion and ran at least one business together. The couple had five children together, three of whom were home at the time of the attack. Bradford and Andra were both shot to death and one of their children -- their 8-year-old son -- was also shot... but not killed.
Bradford and Andra Sachs were both shot with the same weapon. At this point it does sound like there was one gunman who entered their home. Their son was not shot by mistake according to police -- he was "targeted." The two teen girls who were home at the time were not harmed. The suspect was able to flee the area without getting caught and, as of now, it's unclear whether or not police have any idea who the suspect might be.
"The Sachs were involved with several small businesses, including DSL startup Flashcom and electric car-conversion company Plug In Solutions. Evidently, the couple also owned a glut of property, as there are a dozen or so angry tenants who have given them bad reviews on rip-off sites," reports NBC Los Angeles.
As previously reported, Bradford and Andra Sachs may have been into some "funny business" and bad dealings -- and this may have lead to the suspect(s).
"One of the mystifying aspects of the case is how the killer got in and out of the home -- the more than 9,000-square-foot mansion is embedded in a hill near a cul-de-sac and has guard dogs" (NBC Los Angeles).

Date: November 19 2012
DESPITE suffering from multiple sclerosis for more than a third of her life, award-winning author Gillian Mears has only recently undergone a ''drastic change'' of heart in favour of voluntary euthanasia.
Ms Mears, 48, won the Prime Minister's Literary Award for fiction this year for her novel Foal's Bread. She told Fairfax Media she did not want to end up like two characters in that book: ''They had no choice but to take their own lives, and the way they do it is extreme and drastic.''
The author is mostly confined to a wheelchair because of her MS, which she has described as ''the slow road to death''.
Although diagnosed when she was 30, Ms Mears was opposed to voluntary euthanasia until recently.
''As little as five years ago, I really did believe that without safeguards, voluntary euthanasia could be open to the terrible abuse of the elderly and the vulnerable in our society. I felt that quite strongly.''
But now, she wonders why it is illegal: ''Look, if I've got a suffering animal, I will not hesitate to have them euthanised.''
Ms Mears is writing an illustrated fable about life and death for all ages, The Cat with the Coloured Tail, which she hopes will be like a feline Little Prince (the story by Antoine de Saint Exupery).
Ms Mears will appear before the NSW Parliamentary Forum on the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill on Monday in favour of legalising voluntary euthanasia.

Secrets of Success
Fair food
Friday, August 27, 2010
Hubby and I are hoping to go to the county fair tomorrow. I wish we could go all day, but we can't. Instead, we plan to go around 4pm. There's a concert we hope to see that starts at 7:30pm. So, that gives us three-and-a-half hours to mill about, go on some rides, and eat.
Yes, we're going to eat fair food. Good news is that tomorrow is my "calorie free day". Bad news is that fair food is not all that healthy for us.
My only worry is that I'll overdo it. I know there are one or two things I'm looking forward to splurging on that I haven't had since last time we were at the fair, but it's in the midst of all the other tempting stuff. I'll probably want to splurge on several things.
I think I told hubby last week about bringing our own food…so that we don't stuff ourselves silly on the fair food. But he said something to the effect that we only go to the fair once a year. So why not splurge, right?
I guess it can't hurt, in the long run. We'll have fun regardless. And we'll get lots of walking in.
Anyway, what I love about our county fair is that the parking, admission, rides, exhibits, and the concert are only going to cost us $30. We just pay $15 each and everything is included…except food, games, and a few other things. This is going to be so much fun.
I hope all is well with you.
Take Care!

We are going to the fair tomorrow as well...and I while I will be limited because of my gluten intolerence...I totally agree with your husband. It's once a year so should let yourself go within reason. Having a regular meal that you wouldn't normally eat should be fine. Just be careful not to overdo on EVERYTHING. I also split things with my husband which help keep us both in check.

You know, in most cases (restaurants, street vendors, snack machines...)I would say, "Just say no!" but in this I agree with your husband in that it is ONCE a year! My suggestion is to pick one or two things that you love most of all that are ONLY available at the fair and stick with those. If you've been doing well on most other days for a while, chances are you'll be satisfied with just that. As long as you're mindful about it and not "mindless" (ha ha!) when enjoying those items then I think you'll do just fine! Enjoy yourself at the fair and get lost in those moments. In the long run, that's what it's all about. Hope you have fun!

Thank you George. And thanks also to Jean-Marie Guehenno, who will be part of our subsequent discussion. George, who served not only as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs but also as our Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, and Jean-Marie, who is one of the foremost experts on the protection of civilians in conflict and was probably the most thoughtful and effective UN Undersecretary General for Peacekeeping since the position was established. In fact, it's rather humbling for me to be the featured speaker today.
I also want to thank our colleagues at USIP, including my friend and former colleague Tara Sonenshine; as well as Beth Cole for helping to create today's partnership, and to David Smock and Amanda Mayoral for all their assistance and support in organizing today's event.
I can't begin this talk without considering the humanitarian tragedy in Somalia and the Horn of Africa. Over 13 million people in the region are now in need of humanitarian assistance. Of the 3 million people in crisis in southern Somalia, 2.6 million are facing emergency and famine conditions in the six areas that currently meet the criteria for famine. These areas are mostly under the control of al-Shabaab, and have been largely inaccessible to humanitarian assistance organizations. Tens of thousands are already thought to have perished, and some 750,000 people are at risk of death by the end of this year.
A crisis of this dimension brings into stark relief the systemic challenges facing those committed to alleviating suffering and promoting the conditions for peace and stability. Indeed, in Somalia, progress in alleviating human misery will be measured by the very same indicators that will test us in future crises: our capacity and our will to address the political and security issues that create most of the world's humanitarian suffering; our capacity and our will to include in the international system of humanitarian response new partners that bring new resources and capabilities; our capacity and our will to equip peacekeepers with the ability to protect civilians; and our capacity and our will to promote more effective and coherent international response – and, within the U.S. Government – to better organize ourselves for the challenge.
In short, the immediate and urgent imperatives we face in Somalia all relate directly to the broad challenges that will occupy much of the focus of my talk this afternoon.
And what about the humanitarian challenges we can expect in the future? While trends in this area are notoriously difficult to measure, it appears that widespread suffering continues unabated. In addition to massive displacement, death and destruction caused by disasters resulting from natural hazards, we have seen in recent years substantial new or ongoing displacement in places like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan.
We also face a range of protracted refugee situations where the stakes for human security and well-being are also substantial and significant. In addition, from the Roma in Europe, to Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic, to the Rohingya in Burma, stateless people – which number as many as 12 million worldwide – suffer from marginalization and neglect.
These situations create a dizzying array of dilemmas, but progress on each and every one of them is achievable – and generous U.S. financial support for humanitarian response is critical, as an expression of our values and in recognition of our interests.
First, there is the moral imperative – the simple policy goal of saving lives. Our supporters in Congress well understand that our entire annual civilian humanitarian assistance funding is only a small fraction of the less than one percent of our federal budget that is dedicated to overseas assistance.
Second, we have a key interest in sustaining U.S. leadership worldwide, which enables us to influence the development of international humanitarian and refugee law, programs and policy, and to leverage critical support from others. And of course, our influence comes not only from the wisdom of perspectives, but also from the magnitude of our aid.
Third, our humanitarian assistance can help to promote reconciliation and well-being in circumstances where despair and desperation may threaten stability, and ultimately, our own national security interests.
For example, about two million refugees in Africa returned home over the past decade, and the United States provided important assistance for the return effort. Similarly, there are still some 1.7 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan with the potential to contribute to instability both in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Our support of ongoing voluntary repatriation, along with our advocacy and our funding of community support programs that build capacity and services not just for refugees but tie into ongoing efforts to increase services within Pakistan's host communities who have supported refugee families for decades have been critical in sustaining Pakistani tolerance for Afghan refugees and helped forge creative thinking within our government on how we can work with Pakistan on relief to development activities.
And in the Middle East, we support the UN Relief and Works Agency that assists Palestinian refugees with food, health care, rental subsidies, rebuilding expertise, and education programs promoting tolerance. If UNRWA didn't exist, the international community would have to build another institution to do the job.
So if our rationales for assistance are sound, how do we better ensure that our actions and activities are as effective as they can possibly be?
First, humanitarians must sustain and strengthen our involvement in policy advocacy. Within our own government and in our engagement with governments hosting populations at risk, we must be relentless, formidable, and highly effective advocates for victims of persecution, violence and human rights abuses. We must be emboldened by a very broad conception of our humanitarian and protection mandate; in short, we must be skillful and aggressive humanitarian diplomats, both at home and abroad.
For example, in Sri Lanka in 2009, my visits with displaced Tamil civilians interned in camps in the north helped me to more deeply appreciate their challenging circumstances and informed U.S. efforts to provide them with assistance. But it was just as critical that I pressed their case with the President of Sri Lanka, with the Defense Minister and with other senior officials – for freedom of movement and return of these IDPs to their homes, and for reconciliation.
In Iraq, Jordan, and Syria, my visits with Iraqis who had to flee their homes have informed our efforts to provide relief, but they have also provided critical opportunities to encourage senior Iraqi officials to develop strategies to promote return, local integration and reconciliation, all of which provide a foundation for enduring peace and stability.
In Israel, I was deeply moved by the testimony of a young Eritrean woman I met in a Tel Aviv shelter, who talked to me about dreadful abuses to which she and her very young son were subjected by migrant smugglers in the Sinai. Our conversation enriched my understanding of ways our assistance programs might help such victims. But we also owe it to her and to other victims to use the insights we gain by such encounters to encourage senior Egyptian and Israeli officials to more effectively combat smuggling and provide aid to victims – as indeed we have done.
And in Kenya, my visits to refugee camps in the remote northeast of the country, which now host nearly 500,000 Somalis, reaffirmed my conviction about the critical importance of opportunities for self-sufficiency – including education and permission to work – among the hundreds of thousands of long-term refugees. During my trip to Dadaab last month with Dr. Jill Biden, I was inspired by a meeting with a young Somali woman who grew up in the refugee camp, speaks excellent English, and was among the few refugees to be given the opportunity for higher education outside of the camp. She's now giving back to her community through her work as a facilitator for an NGO in the camp and as a volunteer assisting new arrivals.
The reality, however, is that greater opportunities for long-staying Somali refugees in Kenya will – understandably – require the cooperation and support of the Government of Kenya – hence the critical importance of our sustained policy dialogue with Kenyan officials, from the President and the Prime Minister to Kenyan officials involved in humanitarian response.
Without compromising the impartiality of the programs we are supporting, responsible humanitarian action also requires engagement in broader governmental discussions of policy on political and security issues. Whether it is improving political and human rights conditions in places like Burma, Libya, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or security conditions in Chad with the withdrawal of the MINURCAT peacekeeping mission, these issues have serious humanitarian implications; humanitarians should be offering both advice and assistance at the decision-making table. If not invited, we should be pounding on the door of the rooms where these decisions are being made.
An emboldened and broadened concept of our humanitarian mandate goes hand-in-hand with a more integrated and coherent U.S. Government approach toward conflict prevention and response, one of the key objectives of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review that the Department of State and USAID are now implementing. And we have two critical challenges ahead of us: first, to implement the Secretary of State's goal for enhanced conflict prevention and response capacity within the Department; and second, to enhance coordination and ensure integration of effort between the work of the Department of State and USAID. We have begun that process, in part through the creation of a Humanitarian Policy Working Group that brings together all of the civilian agencies and offices engaged in humanitarian policy work, but there is much more to be done.
Strengthened coordination will also enhance our ability to anticipate and respond to a changing humanitarian landscape that demands new approaches on issues like urban refugees; protracted refugee situations; and the protection of particularly vulnerable populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons. It will also better enable us to implement ambitious objectives of President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and USAID Administrator Shah to promote the empowerment of women – through a National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security; through support of UNFPA and its efforts to provide reproductive health services in conflict settings; and through efforts to combat discrimination against women in nationality laws.
As part of the QDDR implementation process, we must also work with our military colleagues to best utilize their unique capabilities – especially in quick-onset emergencies that outstrip the short-term capacity of civilian providers – and to develop shared understandings of the principles that should inform and define their engagement.
Let me also emphasize that if we are to be credible interlocutors with foreign governments, we must practice at home what we preach abroad. So, for example, we have sought to ease the burdens faced by newly arriving refugees by expanding our assistance to them in their first weeks after their arrival and we have engaged with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) in its efforts to address domestic migrant detention practices. But we must do more. For example, while enhanced refugee admissions screening procedures have been important in ensuring that we do not permit entry of persons who would pose security risks, we now must address the major challenges these procedures have imposed on our ability to promptly resettle deserving refugees.
Beyond our efforts to enhance our national capacities in humanitarian response, we must give genuine substance to our expressions of support for multilateral organizations – which can marshal the support of dozens of donors for more effective and comprehensive action. Our bureau provides the bulk of U.S. Government support to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Organization for Migration, and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. Core program support gives substance to our policy commitment to multilateralism, and enables the United States to influence and enhance the character and capacity of these organizations. For instance, the ability of both UNHCR and IOM to respond quickly to the migration crisis in Tunisia and Egypt that resulted from conflict in Libya was in no small measure due to the capacity that core funding had enabled them to develop over the past many years.
But from Haiti to Somalia, problems in effective delivery of aid and protection have demonstrated that the multilateral humanitarian system has a long way to go. In a conversation with me earlier this month, Secretary Clinton put it very well, expressing her concern that we have yet to develop a consistently effective and predictable template for crisis response.
First, the United States and other donor governments must take aim at serious challenges that are bedeviling the system, including failures in coordination between UN and non-UN assistance providers; limited ability of donor governments to influence decisions made by the UN-led humanitarian coordination structure; and uneven performance by some agencies vested with interagency leadership responsibilities in crisis response.
Second, we must further encourage support from nontraditional donors, while seeking to ensure their participation enhances coherence and effective response. The crisis in Somalia has demonstrated the importance of working with new donors and civil society groups, both for the resources they have at their disposal and for their ability to work in areas that may be inaccessible to established relief organizations. But a proliferation of groups operating independently can also risk creating obstacles to effective delivery to those in need – and these issues must be carefully managed. Also, as we move toward greater inclusion, we must do so with a keen understanding that from the Middle East to Asia to Latin America, governments we ask to provide support to/for international humanitarian organizations will reasonably expect to play a role in shaping further evolution and development of the international humanitarian response system.
Third, just as humanitarians in our own government must engage those of our U.S. Government colleagues who are working on peace and security issues, we and our humanitarian counterparts in international organizations must encourage the further development of civilian protection capabilities in other parts of the UN system, and, in particular, among peacekeepers.
Finally, the U.S. Government itself must make greater efforts to promote greater effectiveness and coherence among international humanitarian agencies – and within the international humanitarian response system overall. We have punched below our weight and we must do much better. No matter how much we enhance our own national capabilities, it will be the major international organizations – the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance, the UNHCR, the World Food Programme, and so many others – that determine the character of the worldwide response to humanitarian suffering.
Allow me to close on a personal note as I prepare to leave the Department of State. Since July 2009, I have worked each and every day to justify the trust and confidence of the President and Secretary of State, and to serve as a responsible steward of the humanitarian brief – traveling to dozens of countries where our humanitarian diplomacy and assistance has made a difference in safeguarding lives, visiting with vulnerable women, men and children in some of the most difficult environments, working to sustain our world leadership in international humanitarian response and our strong support from the Congress, and strengthening the policy engagement and the operational capacity of a bureau – PRM – that has some of the most dedicated and skilled professionals I have ever encountered.
As I prepare to move on, I leave with a deep conviction that U.S. support for international humanitarian assistance is money well spent: It saves lives, it promotes our leadership, and it can create conditions for peace and reconciliation. And while the challenges that characterize this work are daunting, we must not underestimate our collective capacity to improve the human condition – to provide food, shelter, education, basic protection and real hope for a brighter future. In sustaining focused and skillful efforts to promote the principles of international humanitarianism, we demonstrate our commitment to these honorable objectives, and we keep faith with millions of vulnerable people around the world.

On Wednesday, July 9, KREM News reported that a Couer d'Alene, Idaho police officer shot and killed a dog who was inside his owner's vehicle. The shooting, which occurred near Sherman and 8th Street, occurred after a call about a suspicious van. Investigators described the dog as a "vicious pit bull" and said that it lunged at the officer, but the dog's owner stated that the animal was a black Labrador retriever.
On Wednesday morning, an officer responding to the suspicious van call approached with his gun drawn. According to the Coeur d'Alene Police Department, as the officer approached the window, the Labrador retriever, named "Arfie," lunged out of the open driver's side window. Investigators stated that the officer fired one round, fatally shooting Arfie in the chest.
The van's driver, Craig Jones, was eating breakfast nearby during the incident.
"This still isn't even real to me," he stated. According to Jones, two-year-old Arfie didn't have a mean bone in his body.
"If my dog is barking and wondering who's peering through the windows, he doesn't care if you're a cop, an attorney, or President Bush. He doesn't know any difference," Jones stated.
According to Coeur d'Alene OD leaders, the officer who shot Arfie was distraught afterward.
Police shootings of dogs have been in the news frequently. In 2010, a Newfoundland named Rosie was fatally shot near her home in Des Moines, Wash. Rosie's family settled a civil suit against the Des Moines PD in 2013. According to attorney Adam Karp, Rosie's owners agreed to a settlement of $51,000 plus attorney's fees from the Des Moines Police Department.
In January, a Chesapeake Bay retriever was shot by police in Maryland, which has had several other police shootings of family pets in recent years. In Aug. 2010, a federal police officer fatally shot a Siberian husky. In July 2008, a SWAT team member shot and killed two Labrador retrievers during a home search after mistakenly believing that the homeowner was involved in drug trafficking.
Recently, a Weimaraner named Geist was shot in Salt Lake City, Utah - and there has been a tremendous outcry over his death. The dog, who was shot on June 18, was in his own fenced yard at the time.

Samsung R700 hits the FCC, it's an unassuming CDMA touch phone
A new phone has hit the FCC, the as of yet unannounced Samsung R700. This is a dual-band CDMA device that supports EVDO 3G.
Gathering from the pictures released by the FCC, the Samsung R700 has a touchscreen, a camera, a headset jack and dedicated camera and lock keys.
It's really unlikely that this is an Android-powered smartphone, since its buttons aren't those required by Google's mobile OS. As such, the R700 may just be a featurephone intended to get touchscreens into the hands of the (non-smartphone-touting) masses.
Based on a lack of AWS support, Phonescoop speculates that the Samsung R700 is probably headed to US Cellular. We'll surely find out soon enough if that was the case.

College Hockey:Bemidji earns first WCHA points, ties Minnesota-Duluth
Many avenues have led Minnesota-Duluth to victory early this season.
Goals have come short-handed, on penalty shots, on power plays following a major penalty, and even in overtime while on a power play.
Scoring more than 4.5 goals a game and allowing fewer that 2.30 had the No. 3 Bulldogs unbeaten entering Saturday's Western Collegiate Hockey Association men's game against winless Bemidji State at the Sanford Center before a crowd of 3,611.
UMD left unbeaten, but settled for a 1-1 overtime tie, as Bemidji State scored with 91 seconds left in regulation on an Emil Billberg goal. Freshman defenseman Justin Faulk had given the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal at 3:51 of the third period.
"As much as we would've liked a sweep, we're happy with three of four points, and our heads will be held high going to play (second-place) North Dakota," said Faulk. "We expected another defensive game and got it, and just wished we could've done better to capitalize on our chances."
Defense was the name of the game, with no scoring until the third period, as UMD's Kenny Reiter and Bemidji State's Mathieu Dugas, in his first start of the season, were the stars. The Bulldogs (6-0-2, 3-0-1 WCHA) took the point in the league standings to gain sole possession of first. They led in final shots on goal 29-20. Bemidji State (0-3-1) gained its first league point as a first-year member, as the teams met for a third straight overtime game in the series. UMD won 3-2 in sudden death Friday.
Reiter had missed practice on Monday and Tuesday last week with the flu, and wasn't 100 percent, but looked sharp.
After two scoreless periods, Faulk gave UMD the lead on a drive from the inside edge of the left circle, before Billberg's first goal of the season created the tie, putting the puck off Reiter's shoulder.
"Bemidji is a frustrating team to play; they try to get to the puck first every time and kind of live off bounces," said Reiter, 3-0-2. "They're tough. For times, there are no shots and then they come at you in flurries and you really have to focus. Our guys played great in front of me. I don't remember any second shots."
The best scoring opportunity of the first two periods for the Bulldogs came in the second period when two Bemidji State players were called for cross-checking and unsportsmanlike conduct at 6:08., but the power play wasn't clicking.
Dugas stopped UMD's J.T. Brown at the crease at even strength with 2:36 left in the second. Winger Jamie MacQueen misfired on a hustling three-on-one rush for Bemidji State near the end of the period.
"We have been close to winning this season and our guys were nervous, and by the end of the game, I thought both teams were gassed," said Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore. "It was a big point for us. Anytime you get a point in the conference, there's a smile on your face."
In the first period, Jordan George was stopped by Reiter on a power play with 8:52 left and UMD's Kyle Schmidt was turned away by Dugas with 2:20 to go.
The last four-plus periods in the rink produced just three goals. UMD's four goals in the series were on power plays. Bemidji State is 7-4-1 against UMD the last 12 games in the series.
"Neither team was real effective on the power play (Saturday) and that was the difference," said UMD coach Scott Sandelin. "We were better in some areas, except for a few shifts in the third period. It's a little disappointing not to get four points when you are in position for it, but it was a hard-fought series."
The tie ended UMD's six-game win streak, the most since six straight playoff wins in March of 2009, and the most during the regular season since nine straight wins during 2003-04. The eight-game unbeaten streak is the best start to a season since winning eight straight to open 1989-90.
UMD has its stiffest test of the season this Friday and Saturday at No. 8 North Dakota.

Troy Walters and Kerri Walsh were named 1999-2000 Pacific-10 Conference Medal Winners for Stanford University, Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen announced on Monday. Conference Medals are awarded annually to each of the Conference member institution's outstanding male and female student-athletes. The awards are based on the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and achievement in scholarship, athletics and leadership.
Perhaps the most prolific flanker in the history of Stanford football, The 1999 Offensive Pac-10 Player of the Year and consensus All-America Troy Walters was named the winner of the 1999 Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver. He ranked second in the nation and first in the conference in receiving yards per game (132.4), also ranked sixth in the nation and second in the Pac-10 in all-purpose running (170.6 ypg), and 16th nationally and second in the Pac-10 with 6.7 receptions per game, he led Stanford to its first Rose Bowl appearance in nearly 30 years. Walters broke the school and conference records in career receptions (245 Pac-10, 244 Stanford) and career receiving yards (3,995 Pac-10, 3, 986 Stanford). He also holds conference and school records for receiving yards in a season with 1,456 in 1999, and the longest pass play (98 yards vs. UCLA Sept. 25, 1999). He holds Stanford records for receptions in a season with 86 in 1997 and receiving yards in a game (278 vs. UCLA Sept. 25, 1999). He is the first Stanford player to record two 1,000-yard receiving seasons. In addition to his feats on the field, Walters was a three-time Academic All-Pac-10 selection, a First Team Academic All-America honoree in 1999, named a Burger King Scholar-Athlete and was nominated for a National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Post-Graduate Scholarship.
The 1999 AVCA Co-National Player of the Year in women's volleyball, standout outside hitter Kerri Walsh also earned a Pac-10 Conference Medal. Honored as the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1998 and '99, Walsh was a four-time First Team AVCA All-America selection, becoming only the second player in NCAA women's volleyball history to earn First Team All-America honors for four years. She was also a four-time All-Conference selection. She led the 1999 team in digs with 3.14 dpg, and ranked second on the team in kills (3.27 kpg) and blocks (1.33 bpg). In her career at Stanford, she helped the Cardinal to two national titles, three Final Four appearances, four NCAA showings, four Pac-10 crowns and a 122-11 (.917) record. Named the 1996 National Freshman of the Year, she garnered 1999 Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame Female Athlete of the Year honors, and was named to the USA National Volleyball Training Team for 2000.
These two outstanding athletes have been instrumental in helping Stanford to consecutive Sears Cup Awards the first three years of their collegiate careers with the Cardinal. Their performances have also helped to give Stanford the lead in the Sears Cup race for the 1999-2000 season.

Drinks in Hired Venues
The bride and groom should confirm whether alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are provided in-house.
They should pay careful attention to the choice of wines and the price range of drinks on offer.
There is often a range of packages on offer, each with different price levels. Some packages allocate a specific number of drinks per head, with extra costs if this amount is exceeded on the day.
Other more expensive packages offer unlimited beer and wine. It is sometimes worth the extra investment to avoid unexpected extra costs.
Spirits and cocktails are expensive: most wedding couples only provide beer and wine.
A plentiful supply of soft drinks should be made readily available.
If couples are allowed to supply the drink themselves, it is important to check corkage fees; this is a hidden charge that can add considerably to costs.

Former UNO coach Tic Price will coach the Lamar University men's basketball team next season, Lamar announced Tuesday (March 18).
Price was an assistant coach at Lamar from the 2008-09 season to 2011, when he was named athletics coordinator, a position that served as an outreach job to the Beaumont community.
Price was head coach at UNO from 1994-97 before he left for Memphis. Price coached UNO to the NCAA tournament in 1996 and to the NIT in 1997. Price also coached McNeese State to a Southland Conference championship in 2002.
Knight is the son of former coach Bob Knight. Pat Knight coached Lamar to the NCAA tournament in 2012. Lamar compiled a record of 6-50 under Knight in the two seasons after the NCAA berth. Lamar fired Knight Feb. 16.

Open Projects and success
Vickram Crishna <v1clist <at> yahoo.co.uk>
Refreshingly, the details of emulating this path in hardware, and indeed, from design upwards, have inclusivity and transparency as the touchstone. As they have in free/open source software, 'business models' are emerging (like Ponoko and OpenMoko) here as well.
Where I see some serious structural issues ahead is open organisations, such as wsfii. Despite the wonderful role it plays, and the unstinting help and guidance that impacts many tens of thousands already - and hopefully that number will not stop growing exponentially until connectivity is ubiquitous - there are things an unregistered organisation is simply not permitted to do. A deplorable restriction on human freedom - the freedom to associate in communities.

Waimea Country celebrates Literacy Day
A vocabulary parade kicked off the Literacy Day celebration at Waimea Country School recently. Students and teachers each chose an interesting vocabulary word and created a costume to personify that word. Students and faculty then paraded before an assembly of students, faculty, and parents so their words could be guessed.
The words were largely selected from the curriculum, with the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students choosing one of their Greek and Latin vocabulary words, such as astronomy, benign and hyperactive.
Also, students in the second and third multiage class hosted a schoolwide word market, inspired by their reading of "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster.
Waimea Country School's Literacy Day celebration coincided with the National Education Association's Read Across America Day, designed to raise reading awareness by celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss each year on March 2.
"Celebrating literacy is so important," said head of school Amy Salling. "In elementary school, children are learning phonics and sight words and honing their reading skills. By highlighting reading and writing, and making it a fun day, we foster a love of learning."

Make a plan to pick up the kids early on Friday. ZF Photography
What better way to start off the long Memorial Day Weekend, then with a "Go Home Early" drill. This Examiner does not remember such things when I went to school.
The "Go Home Early" drill is part of the New York State Emergency Preparedness Law that requires school districts to prepare children if there is an emergency dismissal. It is part of the Commissioner's Regulation Section 155.13.
On Friday, May 28 in the Bayport-Blue Point School District, please make arrangements to pick up your children at the earlier times -
* High School - 2:11 pm
* Junior High - 2:24 pm
* Elementary Schools - 3:05 pm
Please call your principal if you have any questions about this drill.

Traditional Phinisi schooner builders in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Phinisi, a masterpiece of traditional Bugis-Makassar design, is a traditional wooden two-masted sailing ship, well-known as traditional sea transportation amongst the buginese people for many centuries. According to the ancient I La Galigo manuscript, phinisi has existed since around the 14th century. The scooners are largely built using the design and construction techniques handed down from generation to generation over hundreds of years.

What are the concerns of doctors who are not using this procedure and why aren't they?
Dr. Kolb: This is a relatively new procedure. It's something that until recently was not available to patients with ALS. There aren't any good studies that have been performed and so most people are waiting.
What exactly is ALS?
Dr. Kolb: ALS is short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is a disease of the motor neuron. Motor neurons are those cells that connect the brain to muscles and allow us to move, but also to speak, breathe, and swallow. What happens in ALS is that there is a death and loss of these motor neurons leading to progressive weakness. No one knows the cause of ALS, but it is a neurodegenerative disease; so in that sense it is in the same category as Alzheimer's, Parkinson, and Huntington's.
Do most people know it as Lou Gehrig's disease?
Dr. Kolb: Most people do know it as Lou Gehrig's disease in the United States. Also, sometimes people call it motor neuron disease, but it's a spectrum. It's probably not all one disease, but we know it as ALS or Lou Gehrig's here in the U.S.
Can you tell us about the diaphragmatic pacing system?
Dr. Kolb: As you progressively become weaker, you have more and more difficulty opening up the lungs to breathe. Ultimately because we are still not able to stop the progression of ALS, the way people die is usually with respiratory failure. The current management for that has to do with making sure that the patient is more comfortable and able to breathe as much as possible without any invasive ventilation. Normally, someone will come in with ALS, have some shortness of breath, and we would measure their breathing and then start them on noninvasive ventilator support. You may have heard of BIPAP or CPAP. Anyone who has had sleep apnea or any kind of problem breathing at night usually wears a facemask. That machine basically puffs a little bit of air into the lungs when someone goes to inhale and it assists them when they are weak. So, we do that with ALS as well. Unfortunately, as the disease continues to progress that kind of therapy becomes less and less effective.
How do you know when is the right time to use this device?
Dr. Kolb: There is no red flag that pops up on your bed post in the morning that says now is when you need it. It's usually a decision that is made with the patient. It depends on how much discomfort the patient is having with their shortness of breath and it is guided by objective
So, how would say it would work for Mary?
Dr. Kolb: She was the first person at the Ohio State University to have it implanted. So, where the diaphragmatic pacing system comes in, is when a patient already has shortness of breath. There is already some loss of the strength of their diaphragm. I think most people are familiar with cardiac pacing where there is an electrode that's placed into the muscle of the heart or a part of the heart that stimulates the electrical activity. This is very similar to the idea where there is an external power source and an electrode that connects directly to the motor neuron just as it connects into the diaphragm. By stimulating the motor neuron directly, it increases the contraction of the diaphragm and improves strength.
How effective has it been with Mary? Have you noticed a change or a difference?
Dr. Kolb: From my perspective, I'm used to seeing people progress at a certain rate as far as their shortness of breath goes and she seems to have plateaued a bit with the decrease in her respiratory function with the procedure. So, I would say that overall, we have had a positive outcome with her.
Do you really see any risks or are we still waiting to see if there are any risks associated with the device?
Dr. Kolb: Any time you have a surgical procedure, there are risks and we have some outstanding thoracic surgeons who are working with us to put the device in. It is a laparoscopic procedure, meaning there is not a big open OR field. So, as far as that goes there is a risk, but it's an acceptable risk if it helps you breathe better. Once it's in place, some of the risks that could occur are include an infection at the site, but infection would be true in any type of procedure where you have a wire sticking into your body somewhere. Other than that, it seems to be very well tolerated.
Are you excited about this device?
Dr. Kolb: I am. I think that we are entering sort of a new era here in ALS research. We are becoming much better at trying to address problems before they happen and it's clear that that's really the secret to successful management. This gives us another tool in our tool belt where we can maybe engage the motor neurons in the diaphragm and allow the diaphragm to maintain strength longer in ALS and improve quality of life and life span. So, it's very exciting.
You said it was available now for some patients, but when does the study actually begin?
Dr. Kolb: So, just to clarify any confusion, the FDA has made the diaphragmatic pacing system available to all patients with ALS under a humanitarian care sort of advice, even though there is no actual proof that this works or not.

levofloxacin, Levaquin (cont.)

Dr. Ogbru received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy in 1995. He completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in 1996. He was a Professor of Pharmacy Practice and a Regional Clerkship Coordinator for the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy from 1996-99.

Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 250, 500 and 750 mg; Oral solution: 25 mg/mL; Injection: 500 mg/20 ml and 750 mg/30 ml; Premix ready to use injection: 250 mg/50 ml, 500 mg/100 ml, and 750 mg/150 ml.
STORAGE: Levofloxacin should be stored at 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F)
DOSING: The usual dose is 250-750 mg given once daily for 3-14 days depending on the type of infection. Anthrax is treated with 500 mg daily for 60 days. It is important to take oral formulations at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after any antacid or mineral supplement containing iron, calcium, zinc, or magnesium since these bind levofloxacin and prevent its absorption into the body.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Iron, calcium, zinc, or magnesium can attach to levofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones and prevent their absorption from the intestine into the blood. Therefore, products (for example, antacids) that contain iron, calcium, zinc or magnesium should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after levofloxacin. Other drugs that contain these minerals and can similarly interact with levofloxacin include sucralfate (Carafate) and didanosine (Videx, Videx EC).
Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with levofloxacin may increase the risk of CNS stimulation, resulting in over-excitation. There have been reports of changes in blood sugar (increases and decreases) in patients treated with fluoroquinolones and antidiabetic agents. Fluoroquinolones may increase the effect of warfarin (Coumadin).
PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING SAFETY: Levofloxacin is not recommended for use in pregnant women since levofloxacin causes joint and bone deformities in juvenile animals of several species.
Levofloxacin is excreted in breast milk. Mothers should decide whether to stop breastfeeding or discontinue levofloxacin.
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used for treating bacterial infections. Many common infections in humans are caused by bacteria. Bacteria can grow and multiply, infecting different parts of the body. Drugs that control and eradicate these bacteria are called antibiotics. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops multiplication of bacteria by preventing the reproduction and repair of their genetic material, DNA. It is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, a class that includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ofloxacin (Floxin), trovafloxacin (Trovan), and lomefloxacin (Maxaquin). The FDA approved levofloxacin in December 1996.

* This Is Good Stuff *I bought this product at a regular beauty supply shop... i have think chemically treated relaxed hair that is always breaking off. I used this when I blow dry my hair and it works wonderfully. It cannot stop damage completely but it comes very close. My hair is much stronger when used than without using it. I highly recommend it. If it can work on delicate, damaged, thin relaxed hair it can work on anyones hair!Nov 6, 2004Christine / Boston

Help Strengthen Your HairHey everybody out there looking to maintain healthy hair. i have mixed hair ( Dominican type hair) with a deep wave, and i tryed the keratine and green tea reconstructurizer. I must say that it works very well for my hair. My hair is dry and dry hair causes a lot of breakeage. i use my deep conditioner plus I will sometimes spray my hair with the keratine and green tea spray. I go under the hair dryer for 15-30 depending on how much stress my hair has been through before washing. I then wash it out, because even though it says to leave it in i take it out because if i dont my hair will still be dry after i take my hair out of the rollers. last saturday i was going to the salon and i knew that i was not going to get a deep conditioner and that the hairdressers was going to use the flat iron. I sprayed my hair liberally (Do not even have to saturate, just make sure you spray all the haier from roots to ends)with the keratine green tea and let me tell you, i had the best hair i had ever seen myself with. It was free flowing, strong, and full of shine.May 4, 2004Elia B. Sanchez / Savannah
