St. Mary's is First Hospital in U.S. to Perform New Lap-Band Procedure
Realize® Banding Solution offers newest technology; personal support program for patients
A team of bariatric surgeons at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital today performed the first adjustable gastric band procedure in the United States using the Realize Adjustable Gastric Band–C, a new surgical implant allowing for greater ease of use and wider adjustment range for severely obese patients.
Only recently approved for use in the United States, the Realize® Adjustable Gastric Band –C has been used successfully in thousands of patients worldwide.
The Realize Adjustable Gastric Band–C is part of Realize™ Banding Solution, a comprehensive program of Ethicon Endo-Surgery (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) now available through St. Mary's Hospital. It offers the latest in gastric band technology as well as Realize mySuccess, a personalized patient support system helping each patient to build the necessary habits in nutrition and exercise, as well as ongoing communication with their healthcare team, to ensure long-term success.
Gregory L. Schroder, M.D., F.A.C.S., Matthew L. Brengman M.D., F.A.C.S., and Eliseo Bautista, M.D., are the surgeons performing the procedures at St. Mary's.
"Weight loss surgery has made significant progress in the last 10 years with new options in surgical procedures and technologies now available to patients," said Dr. Brengman, a leading bariatric surgeon practicing at St. Mary's. "Our bariatric program is nationally recognized for excellence and we saw an opportunity to offer this new procedure. We believe it will leave a positive impact on many individuals throughout Central Virginia who for years have struggled with obesity."
The Realize Adjustable Gastric Band-C allows for greater ease of use and wider adjustment range for severely obese patients, who typically are 100 pounds or more over ideal body weight or have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 35. It features a streamlined band design that is pre-curved to facilitate placement around the stomach and has a closing mechanism that is easy to lock and re-lock.
The Realize band includes a soft balloon of sterile saline, which controls the band's tightness around the stomach.
During the laparoscopic procedure, the band is wrapped around the stomach to create two chambers -- a small upper stomach with a narrow opening to the lower stomach. Once the band is in place, surgeons attach the Realize Injection Port to the abdominal wall underneath the skin, whereby doctors can inject or remove saline to tighten or loosen the band. The tighter the band, the more quickly the upper stomach fills up and the less food a person can eat. Adjustments are made periodically based on the patient's individual needs.
Before and after surgery, patients can access Realize mySUCCESS; the interactive web application allows them to develop personalized eating and fitness plans and links them to their health care team who can track their progress between visits. It also provides support and information on recovery and adjusting to new eating habits.
"Patients who undergo weight loss surgery often face a host of challenges such as adjusting to a new lifestyle of diet and exercise, and this often can be overwhelming," adds Dr. Brengman. "By offering the Realize program as well as the latest in bariatric surgical options, we can provide our patients with the highest level of care."
In addition to Realize mySUCCESS, benefits of the Realize Personalized Banding Solution include:
- With laparoscopic surgery, smaller incisions and less tissue trauma result in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, smaller scars, and less pain than open surgical procedures – and usually less time under anesthesia.
- It is the safest and most effective for weight loss; it has lower leak rates than other adjustable bands.
- It is adjustable so if the rate of weight loss is not acceptable, the band can be tightened or loosened.
- The surgery does not permanently change the anatomy of the stomach and intestines, and the Realize Band can be removed if necessary.
In multiple studies involving over 3,000 patients, adjustable gastric banding resulted in excess weight loss ranging from 28 percent to 87 percent, with a minimum two-year postoperative follow-up.
According to the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), more than 15 million people in the U.S. suffer from severe obesity and about 205,000 people are expected to have some form of bariatric surgery this year. The two most common procedures are gastric bypass and gastric banding.
Patients who are severely obese and are considering weight loss surgery may attend free information sessions on the Realize Personalized Banding Solution, held at St. Mary's in November and December. For dates and information, please call (804) 359-WELL or visit www.bonsecours.com.

New Jersey-based Americana Jam Band Railroad Earth has found a second home in New York City. Their recent venue of choice has been the Best Buy Theater in Time Square. First playing there in a co-bill with Yonder Mountain String Band back in 2009, the group headlined Best Buy for the first time last year, setting higher expectations for their third show on March 9, 2013.
The clear standouts on stage were Tara Nevins on washboard, fiddle, guitar, and vocals, and Jeb Puryear on electric guitar and vocals. Nevins and Puryear are the group's primary songwriters and their songbook has held up since 1989, when the band formed. Their eclectic style breeds a festive vibe, which is always complemented gracefully by their powerful and positive lyrics. Songs like "Funky Side" left The City That Never Sleeps with no choice but to groove along with the quintet.
By the time Railroad Earth took the stage, the audience was warmed up and ready. Loud cheers of excitement gave way to a stellar opening segue of "Black Elk Speaks" into a mouthwatering Andrew Altman led bass-driven, psychedelic instrumental entitled "Spring Heeled Jack."
The core of the first set steered clear of the jams but Todd Sheaffer's harmonica work during a cover of Tom Waits' "Cold Water," which appeared on Railroad Earth's debut album The Black Bear Sessions, was a standout. "Cold Water" was followed by a mellow run through of "Came Up Smilin'," and an upbeat facelift of "A Day On The Sand." The end of the first set resembled the beginning, pushing the envelope on the fan favorite "Like A Buddha," which began with the intro that usually precedes the song. RRE then closed the set with "Where Songs Begin," a nod to singer-songwriter Todd Sheaffer's former hick-pop group, From Good Homes.
Much like the first set, RRE's second set opened and closed with segues. Set two began with a block of songs featuring Tim Carbone on electric guitar including a very hazy and explorative "The Forecast," from the album Amen Corner. Carbone next traded his electric guitar for a violin as the "The Forecast" gave way to "River Intro Jam" which would eventually transport the musical conversation to another fan favorite, "Mighty River." Black Swan Singer Sheryl Renee and her daughter Charlie Kay contributed vocals for a soulful and vivid rendition before breaking into another early piece of Railroad Earth's repertoire, "Colorado."
The intensity toned down as Tim Carbone stepped to the mic for the next song, "Flower Between the Stones," but the inherent energy then reemerged for the rest of the set beginning with a bright take on Bill Monroe's "The Gold Rush."
Next up the band invited a second pair of guests to the stage, this time calling upon Donna The Buffalo's Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear for Railroad Earth's "Just So You Know." Nevin's washboard and Puryear's electric guitar work fit brilliantly, bringing a Zydeco feel to the upbeat song.
The end of the second set – and the final transition of the night – began with "Birds Of America." Arguably the strongest jam of the evening, the mood of the unrecorded Railroad Earth classic soared, sticking true to its title. The dark hazy jamming lifted to make room for the progressive bluegrass instrumental "Stillwater Getaway," which closed out the set with outstanding picking on the guitar and mandolin from Andy Goessling and John Skehan respectively.
Those familiar with the band's hits were happy to be greeted by a sing along encore of "Bird in a House." Afterwards Renee and Kay came to the mics to bring their magic to "Peace On Earth," ending an impressive night of musical exploration on a positive note.

The question is "Why evolution cannot do this"? To say evolution is true, why is there no evidence for it? First of all, there is no evidence that evolution has occurred in animals or plants because there has been no transitional fossils found of animals or plants in the fossil record.
There has been no transitions only gaps because there are no transitional species preceding or leading up to the first multi-celled creatures that appeared suddenly in the so-called Cambrian (the lowest stratum level) rock layer. It is called the Cambrian Explosion because of this. There are also no transitional species elsewhere in the fossil record. The species that appear in the fossils are frequently found in many different strata. The great majority of the species found in the fossils are alive today.
Throughout the fossils, we find no transitions from one kind of creature to another. Instead, only individual distinctive plants and animals. Evolutionists are looking for creatures that are half fish and half amphibian or half reptile and half bird. The evolutionists are looking for "fossil gaps" which they have not found evidence for their theory. But in fact, we find in the fossil record the very same creatures that we have today, plus a few extinct types which died out before our time.
Evolution theory talks of their "tree of life" which started from a single protozoa in the sea of primordial soup which became a constant progression from this common ancestor over millions upon millions of years to what we have today. But actually this tree is just a bunch of "twigs" because the "kinds" of animals and plants that were created in Genesis chapter one, are in a state of "stasis" to this day. The word "stasis" means to retain a certain form, to remain unchanged; in other words, not to change from one species to another! The problem for evolutionists is the fact that the animals in the fossil record did not change. Each creature first appeared in the record with a certain shape and structure. It then continued on, unchanged for so called "millions of years" and it is either identical to creatures existing now or became extinct and disappeared.
Evolutionists have two problems to their theory : the gap problem and the stasis problem which ruins their theory. The true problem with the evolution theory is "natural selection" which has not happened. Only "natural variation" has occurred in plants and animals. Just look at all the variations of dog we have today. But they are still dogs!
" ... let God be true, but every man a liar ..." (Romans 3:4)
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" (Romans 1:20).
"All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds" (I Corinthians 15:39).
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8).

Intl Development - East Africa Trip (June 2008) | July 8, 2008
Karyn Ellis ~ International Program Development
My trip to
I arrived in
The five-day training workshop provided by Mukasa and Olivia Kanyesigye of SCA was well organized, with an impressive turn out by the 36 women who had signed up for the workshop as well as what seemed like every friend and family member in the area. The workshop was nicely structured to maximize information distribution, solar cooking and CooKit and hay basket construction, while allowing the flexibility to accommodate our surprise guests from Aid Africa (AA) who were able to make the trip from Gulu (approximately 150K) to demonstrate the 6-Brick Rocket Stove. I had met with Ken Goyer and Peter Keller in Sacramento the week before my departure and requested AA's participation in our workshop, and was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how quickly they were able to mobilize their team in Uganda. Rather than send us a single representative for the workshop, we were honored by the presence of AA's top four trainers, who came equipped with the materials and expertise to effectively demonstrate the importance of a fuel efficient stove as a fundamental component of Integrated Cooking. AA's staff put on an impressive presentation demonstrating the construction and fundamentals of the Rocket Stove, and stayed two extra days to learn more about solar and integrated cooking, as well as water testing and treatment. A wonderful alliance was made and I look forward to productive and happy collaborations with our new friends at AA.
As a bonus to the workshop I was able to test five local sources of water in Obia, instructing our SCA & AA colleagues in depth and presenting the results to the workshop participants, providing a nice transition into the workshop's water treatment and solar pasteurization segment.
In addition to this successful and rewarding workshop in
Hopes for the future in
What I had hoped would be a hop, skip and a jump across Lake Victoria turned into a day tour of capital airports of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, and a hopper from the coastal port of Dar es Salaam back up to the southeastern portion of Lake Victoria (not far from where I started) and the village town of Musoma. As it happened I arrived on the same flight as Marianne Walpert of TanzSolar, SCI's newest cohort and solar collaborator. As referenced in previous reports, Marianne has recently established the nonprofit TanzSolar to provide affordable solar panels to rural internet providers, small businesses and local individuals. TanzSolar already has a strong foothold in the community as a result of a close collaboration with an old friend and colleague, Robi Machaba of Juasun, an internet company based in Musoma. Robi has lived in
With the help of Marianne and Robi I was able to meet with a good number of individuals in Musoma interested in assisting in the spread of solar cooking and water testing and treatment in the region. Approximately 20 people were in attendance for a demonstration at the TanzSolar compound, where I showed a PowerPoint presentation, highlights of the workshop in
Participants included European workers involved in nonprofit community development projects, as well as local business people affiliated with schools, churches and youth groups in the area. It was decided that once a solid group of 20+ community leaders are identified as dedicated to spearheading local training groups of their own in integrated cooking and water testing and treatment, SCI's Katito crew will travel to Musoma to provide a week-long training. Both SCI-EARO and I will perform follow up counseling with the participants at set intervals throughout the next few years to assure proper usage and sustainability. In addition, TanzSolar will provide a space to store materials and information for further workshops and to encourage participants to facilitate further trainings. Between TanzSolar and colleagues at Juasun, there will be someone to receive and supervise materials and sales, providing an effective umbrella under which SCI will be able to successfully operate in northern
Kisumu, Kenya ~ June 23rd to 27th
SCI's EARO put on a comprehensive and effective demonstration of solar cooking throughout the workshop, providing delicious local solar cooked fare and explaining the process to participants during breaks and lunch demonstrations. The lecture and water testing portion of the workshop was followed by day trip in the field where participants were able to see local water sources where the water tested in the workshop was gathered, followed by a grand celebration outside Sunny Solution's Katito office, including solar cooked food & crafts made by solar cooks, and an official ceremony honoring EARO's 10-year anniversary. The ceremony was an impressive and monumental tribute to the Safe Water Workshop and ten years of work well done in
I met the Director of Archway Technology Management, Ltd. at the event described above, and the following day Margaret and I attended the Stakeholders' Forum for Sunny Solutions' Evaluation. This preliminary seminar involved brainstorming sessions with local health workers, hotel/food vendors, development agents, fuel vendors, government workers, teachers and local solar cooks discussing benefits, challenges and techniques of solar cooking in the community. This information will be compiled into a questionnaire by Archway and distributed to the participants, the results to be combined with field work results and an analysis of documented paperwork from the Sunny Solutions offices. Archway's Regional Director Akich Kwach and Team Leader Cleophas Onono struck me as professional and competent, and I hope that they will succeed in providing an accurate and useful portrayal of Sunny Solutions' accomplishments and identification of areas to improve effectiveness and productivity. It appeared to me that Archway's approach was locally appropriate and possessed a solid and thorough base for analysis.
Nairobi ~ June 28th - July 2nd
The African Women and Water Conference led by the women's organizations Women's Health Alliance, Crabgrass, Groots and A Single Drop was located at Wangaari Mathai's Greenbelt Center just outside
After a day of rest in
I accompanied Bob to the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation to meet with Chief Kepha Ombacha, Water Sanitation Officer Adam Muhommad Ahi, and Fred Donde of UNICEF. Mr. Ahi was one of the principal influences in the cholera testing referenced above. Each government representative expressed sincere appreciation for the process and materials and an enthusiastic faith in the future of the project, as well as an understanding of how necessary the PML is to their work. There was a self-ascribed emphasis on continued collaboration with WRMA and self-motivation on the part of active participants. Those who participated in the workshop will be called upon to initiate future trainings and we will look forward to reports of improved health in all regions soon.
Peace Corps Kenya was very receptive to our ambitions, and Director Ken Puvak has been a proponent of solar cooking for years. Public Health & Sanitation Assistant Director Timothy Kibet is interested in incorporating solar cooking and water pasteurization into secondary projects and volunteers' work with youth groups and schools. Bob will return later in his stay to instruct Timothy and Louis Othieno on water testing with the PML. There are two Peace Corps Volunteer trainings in the next few months in which Peace Corps would like to see SCI participate.
CARE Kenya works on programs involving HIV/AIDS, Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), slums and refugee camps with UNHCR. Country Director Bud Crandall had limited time and was only able to ask some fundamental questions regarding time, cost, process and cultural acceptance, after which Bud surmised that a small project in the Dadab Refugee Camp might be worth a purchase of approximately 100 cookers to gauge interest and practicality in that area. We described some of our previous efforts in Dadab as well as other refugee camps, and Bud will potentially recommend solar cookers for one or more of their project sites in Sudan.
WHO Kenya seems primarily interested in Safe Water projects, and with whom Bob has had positive dealings with in the past, providing a nice foundation for our most recent collaborative push. I was able to show my PowerPoint presentation to Technical Program Officer Wilfred Ndego, but due to conflicts in schedules and communications, some important interested parties were not available until later that afternoon, to which Bob was able to come to the rescue as I prepared for my flight home. In addition to an interest in water testing and treatment, WHO also strongly promotes the reduction of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) in their support of MOH, further enabling a seamless relationship between water treatment and solar cooking. Margaret will meet with James Teprey of the Emergency & Humanitarian Action (EHA) segment of WHO about possible collaborations in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and refugee camps.

LOS ANGELES –The 2005 remake of The Devil in Miss Jones was so successful that Vivid has turned the title into a franchise. Devil in Miss Jones: The Resurrection is less a sequel than a spinoff. A modern morality tale with hellishly hot sex, it stars Belladonna as the devil bait.
Directed by Paul Thomas from a script by frequent collaborator Raven Touchstone, the movie climaxes with a group sex scene featuring the whole cast. Originally scheduled for a month ago, it's finally going to be shot today.
When Belladonna came down with what she thought was a herpes rash in August, production on the nine-day shoot was halted. The orgy had to be rescheduled, and on a date when all ten performers were sure they'd be free.
Today's the day, at a Los Angeles nightclub that occasionally moonlights as a porn location during off-hours. In the movie it plays the role of a taxi-dance club.
Belladonna is in sunny high spirits. It's the Monday after she announced on her MySpace blog that her rash-induced decision to forgo fucking on screen was null and void. Back on a set for the first time in weeks, she seems lighter than air.
Her black hair in bangs, she smoothly hits her marks in some brief dialogue scenes, then trades her character's hooker heels for comfy booties while she relaxes and chats with her colleagues.
A visitor from AVN wants to know: "Are you really going to stop having sex with men on screen?"
"No!" she grins. "You haven't read my blog."
The herpes scare turned out to be a skin rash that soon disappeared. "It can happen when you're under a lot of stress, which I was," she says. But she won't panic again. "It was a learning thing. It made me stronger."
Thomas directed the Miss Jones remake on film, but its sequel is being shot on video, with the estimable Jane Waters as director of photography.
An icon of porn's Golden Age, Thomas laments the passing of film features, but he knows they're pretty much a thing of the past. And shooting video, he concedes, is so much easier—faster and cheaper. Resurrection, he says, will have "lots of hot sex. The trick is to keep the focus on the story through all of the sex—not to lose the thread of the plot."
The theme is similar to that of The Devil's Advocate, the 1997 Robert De Niro-Keanu Reeves starrer. This Miss Jones "fucks people over to get ahead and then has to pay the piper." Or in this case three pipers.
Savanna Samson (Miss Jones in the remake) plays Pandora Phoenix, one of an Unholy Trinity of devils. The other two-thirds are Nick Manning and Evan Stone.
Each one has had sex with Bella in previous scenes but today they're going to gang up and bang her en masse.
After a dialogue exchange between Bella and Penny Flame, a party scene gets underway with about 20 male and female extras in funny hats, armed with noisemakers and confetti.
Screenwriter Touchstone, visiting the set, seems a bit confused. As she wrote it, Bella's character is fleeing from the demonic threesome, but here she seems to be winding up at a party. She wonders how the director will tie it all together, but she's not worried.
"I'm trusting PT to enhance it. He'll figure it out." Over the years she's learned that that's about all a writer can do. "If you can write and direct," she sighs, "you've got the best of both worlds."
Touchstone feels her script is "one of the best I've ever done." It has a pronounced "anti-religion aspect. That's one of my pet things."
PT expands on that. "This is a long, serious, heavy movie, with lots of talk about the Trinity and the Devil." The party is his attempt to "lighten it up a bit."
The club scene will segue into the orgy. After boogieing for awhile, the merrymakers freeze in their tracks and stare into the camera lens. At this point the movie will cut to what they see: Bella bound to a cross, or X-frame, suspended on a wall.
The extras are dismissed, the room cleared out and Thomas' crew starts setting up for the sex.
In addition to Bella, Savanna, Manning and Stone, the performers are Flame, Rebecca Linares, Victoria Sin and Carmella Bing, a tall, big-breasted newcomer. The men are Steven St. Croix and Tom Byron, who still sports the nerdy, side-parted haircut he got for his role as a randy evangelical.
They'll have an orgy of their own next to the kingsize bed used for balling Bella.
But first comes the tying.
"Can I rig her now?" line producer Shylar Cobi asks PT.
Bella has brought along her own "rope man," Joseph, an expert in Japanese bondage, with its emphasis on intricate binding and knotting.
He spends a good 40 minutes fastening Bella to the cross, twining loop after loop from a pile of ropes around her ankles, waist, bosom. His pliant subject giggles.
The rest of the cast, who are all pumped up and ready to fuck, bide their time with recreational foreplay. Savanna chats with Nick while massaging Evan's full erection.
Finally Joseph announces, "Last rope, PT." Last step: he attaches her raised arms to the frame with velcro cuffs, and the cross is gently hoisted about three feet off the ground.
"Joseph, she looks great up there," PT says admiringly.
"I'm comfortable," Bella reassures everyone. She's still all smiles.
Warmed up and then some, the actors get heavily into the sex right away. Penny, Rebecca and Victoria sensuously caress the trussed-up star. On the bed, Savanna goes down on Manning as Stone goes down on her.
Rebecca is blowing the fully clothed Byron, Victoria and Carmella are working on St. Croix while Penny is spanking Bella's pussy and pulling out a dildo.
Jane Waters' camera, on a dolly track, covers all the action, with a second cameraman perched on a ladder high above. The dramatically lit scene is smoking.
PT flashes a big grin at the AVN reporter. "It's like the '70s!" Pause. "If we had crappy video in the '70s instead of film."
After several minutes of very heavy action, Bella seems to be reaching her limit. "One more minute," she says.
"30 seconds," PT orders. "Say When, Bella. Don't be a hero, say When."
Bella is detached from the cross but the elaborate rope work stays on her body. PT cautions the others not to "yank on the ropes" in the heat of passion.
The passion is indeed hot—high energy sex from some of the industry's most experienced professionals. Savannah goes after Bella with a strap-on as Bella goes down on Evan, long strands of saliva drooling from her mouth.
The action continues in various combinations, as Rebecca and Byron join the foursome on the bed. Nick fucks Savanna and Stone pounds Bella's anus as she groans and screams.
The four men encircle Bella for serial cumshots. PT wants two of them to shoot on her feet. Byron gets off on one, St. Croix hits the other. Manning does his "droppin' loads" on her face. Stone dumps in her mouth. Victoria and Rebecca lick her clean.
Bella stares, exhausted, into the camera. Tired but happy is what her look conveys, and back in the thick of the action again.
Vivid will release Devil in Miss Jones: The Resurrection in 2008.

She becomes the third Bruin in school history to receive this honor (Traci Arkenberg twice, Sherice Bartling). With her two goals and two assists this weekend, Duncan is UCLA's leading scorer (3g, 3a, 9 points). Duncan is currently the co-leader in the Pac-10 in assists and is ranked fourth in points scored and tied for fourth in goals.
Iron Defense - UCLA's defense, led by junior Skylar Little, is once again one of the team's strongest areas. In five games the Bruin defense has given up only one goal. At the USF diadora Classic, UCLA allowed Loyola College only two shots and limited UNCC to just seven. On the season, the Bruins have posted four shutouts and have limited their opponents to only 28 shots on goal in five games.
Pac-10 Leaders - Defending Pac-10 Champions UCLA is leading the way again this season, posting the best record in the conference. Lindsay Culp leads all Pac-10 goalkeepers with a GAA of 0.22, and the Bruins lead in team goalkeeping (0.20). Breana Boling is currently tied for 11th in points scored with five, while Venus James is tied for 15th with four.

The pioneering punk band Death rocked the stage on "The Arsenio Hall Show" Monday night after sharing their inspiring story to Hall and his studio audience. The band's compelling journey was chronicled in the 2012 documentary "A Band Called Death" .
The Hackney brothers were teenagers when they formed their group in the early '70s, initiallying playing funk music before switching to punk. The Detroit natives told the late-night host record companies wouldn't touch them back then partly due to their name.
" We got rejected by every major record label in the world."
Although fame eluded the trio their careers were revived after one of their records became popular on the rave scene decades later long after they had disbanded.
The group treated Arsenio's audience to a spirited performance of their single "Freakin' Out".
"A Band Called Death" which was released theatrically in 2013 is available on DVD.

FRESNO, Calif. --- Fresno State Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh announced Friday the hiring of Steve Robertello as the new Associate Athletics Director of Intercollegiate Services.
"We are fortunate to have Steve join the Bulldog family in this significant leadership role," said Boeh on Robertello's hiring. "His numerous years of exceptional experience at the Division I FBS level, combined with his demonstrated firm conviction that student-athlete welfare and "doing things the right way" are paramount, make him an ideal fit for Fresno State Athletics. The entire Bulldog community will benefit greatly from Steve's guidance, insight and passion for intercollegiate athletics."
Robertello, a graduate of West Virginia University, will oversee the branches of compliance, student-athlete services, sports medicine and strength and conditioning.
For the past 10 years, Robertello has worked at Washington State University. Most recently he served as the Associate Director of Athletics/Compliance in Pullman where he directed the day-to-day operations of the WSU Athletics Compliance Office. Robertello served as a member of the WSU Athletics Department Executive Staff, as well as the Athletics Department liaison to the WSU Admissions Office.
At the conference level, Robertello served on the Pac-12 Conference Legislative Committee and Recruiting Task Force. For the NCAA, he served on the Amateurism Fact-Finding Committee as a member (2008-12) and committee chair (2010-12) and was the NCAA Site Coordinator for the 2005 NCAA Men's Tennis Championships first and second rounds.
Prior to WSU, Robertello spent two and a half years as a Compliance Coordinator at Arizona State University, two years as an Athletics Compliance Office Assistant, and Assistant Director of Compliance at Villanova University and one year as a Athletic Compliance Office Graduate Assistant at West Virginia University.
Robertello graduated from West Virginia with a Master's of Science in Sport Management and Bachelor of Science.

Red Raiders Swept on the Road
Nov. 8, 2008
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech volleyball team struggled on the road at Kansas, despite receiving eight kills from middle blocker Amanda Dowdy, as the Jayhawks swept the match (25-10, 25-15, 25-22).
Kansas (12-12, 6-9) jumped out to an early 10-2 lead on the Red Raiders. Tech (5-21, 0-15) only hit .100 for the set. The Red Raiders battled back and made the score 16-10 behind two kills from outside hitter Hayley Ball, but the lead was to much to overcome as Kansas won 25-15.
Kansas built another early lead of 7-3 on five-straight hitting errors by the Red Raiders. The Jayhawks dominated the set hitting .389 as a team and won 25-10.
Tech came alive in the third set behind three kills from outside hitter Amanda Sbragia. The set went back and forth as the Red Raiders had it tied 16-16 late in the third until Kansas won the set 25-22.
Dowdy led the Red Raiders with eight kills and Jen Harrell recorded 11 digs on the night.
Karina Garlington led the Jayhawks with 10 kills.
The Red Raiders stay on the road for a match against Texas on Wed., Nov. 12th.

A player who replaces Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant on the Western Conference All-Star squad has to be something special. In this case, New Orleans Pelicans forward-center Anthony Davis was the honorary proxy during last Sunday's All-Star Game in just his second season in the NBA.
With averages of 20.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game midway through the 2013-14 regular season, Davis' sophomore effort is garnering the attention of another power forward with hefty NBA career credentials—Karl Malone—a two-time Most Valuable Player.
"I see a young man that has just flourished here (in New Orleans)," Malone said to reporters during All-Star Weekend. "He's embraced it. He's worked hard. I get to see the Pelicans play a lot, they being on TV and me living in Louisiana."
Malone, himself, has 14 All-Star Game appearances in his 19 seasons in the NBA—18 of them with the Utah Jazz and one with the Lakers. In addition, he was named MVP of the 1989 and 1993 All-Star games.
With the All-Star Weekend festivities taking place at the New Orleans Arena, Davis was the obvious hometown favorite. He played nine minutes in the All-Star Game and scored 10 points to go with a pair of steals.
The Pelicans have a 23-29 record heading into the second half of the season, which puts them 7 1/2 games behind the eighth and final playoff spot in a competitive Western Conference. Needless to say, New Orleans will have to finish the second half of the season strong in order to push themselves into the playoff picture.
Playoff-bound or not this season, Malone knows that New Orleans has something special in Davis, which can only help their chances for future postseason appearances.
"At first, I hadn't seen how he played with his teammates," said Malone. "But now, you can truly build a great team around this young man. I love to see him play and I love the way he keeps his composure and just plays the game."

Von Miller's name doesn't appear first on many mock drafts, but it would be difficult to find a prospect more universally praised than the outside linebacker from Texas A&M.
He's rated as the No. 1 overall prospect by Pro Football Weekly and No. 2 by ESPN's Mel Kiper, the NFL Network's Mike Mayock, NFLDraftScout.com and Scouts Inc., among others.
Miller, a 6-foot-3, 246-pound pass-rush specialist, led the nation with 17 sacks as a junior, then had 10 1/2 while fighting through an ankle injury last season.
He has drawn comparisons to Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas, former Buffalo Bills great Cornelius Bennett and current Green Bay Packers sensation Clay Matthews.
"The guy might be the cleanest player in the draft, an explosive up-field pass rusher," said Charley Casserly, an NFL Network analyst and former NFL general manager.
"The kid gets like a motorcycle driver coming around the corner," Kiper said. "You wonder how some of those guys can stay on the bike on motocross, and this guy is the same way. He comes around that edge, and I don't even know how he stays on his feet. He gets this tremendous leverage on those big tackles, and they just can't handle him.
"There's a great motor he plays with, great leverage he plays with, great speed, attitude, approach. All those things are why (he's rated so highly)."
Miller is best suited to play on the edge of a 3-4 defense in the NFL. That's essentially the role he played at Texas A&M, where they created a "joker" linebacker position for him to be featured almost exclusively as a pass rusher.
Miller admitted that his "God-given ability is speed off the edge," but he doesn't want teams thinking he's one-dimensional. He said he also can drop back in coverage and defend the run.
"I don't just label myself as an outside 3-4 linebacker. I want to be the best defensive player in this year's draft," Miller said during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. "That may be in a 3-4, a 4-3, a 5-2. I just want to play football and get on the field."
More NFL draft coverage
Miller could become the first defensive player drafted. He appears to be in a tight race with Alabama defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson for that honor. All of them are jockeying for position alongside Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert and Georgia receiver A.J. Green in a crowded pack atop the draft.
Miller's draft stock has been rising throughout the predraft process. He earned rave reviews during the week of practices at the Senior Bowl in January, then shined at the scouting combine in February.
Then, even though he had the second-fastest 40-yard dash among all linebackers at the combine (4.53 seconds), he chose to run again at Texas A&M's pro timing day last month and lowered his time to 4.49 seconds.
His vertical leap of 37 inches ranked third among linebackers at the combine.
Miller was humble when discussing the comparisons to players such as Thomas and Matthews. In both cases, he said almost the exact same thing -- that he can "never be like" those specific players, but he can try to emulate their effort to the football.
"I had a coach by the name of Joe Kines, and he coached Derrick Thomas back when Derrick Thomas was in college," Miller said. "He told me a long time ago that I play similar to him. And that day, I went and got film. I watched his film, studied his film and watched all of his interviews. The point of view he had on the game is similar to the way I feel.
"That's what I try to do -- to play with that same attitude."
Miller will be long gone by the time the Saints are on the clock with the 24th pick in Round 1, but they will take a long look at the rest of his position group.
The outside linebacker position ranks as the Saints' most glaring need, because their top three starters from last year (Scott Shanle, Jo-Lonn Dunbar and Danny Clark) are all unsigned free agents.
They could still re-sign a couple of those players, and they like the potential of young linebackers Jonathan Casillas and Stanley Arnoux, both of whom have been detoured by major injuries. However, the Saints almost certainly will add to the depth chart in the draft.
There doesn't appear to be many first-round prospects suited to play outside linebacker in a 4-3 defense. UCLA's Akeem Ayers is a possibility for the Saints at No. 24, although he might fit better in a 3-4. Georgia's Justin Houston, Pittsburgh's Jabaal Sheard and Arizona's Brooks Reed project more as edge rushers in 3-4 schemes.
A better fit for the Saints might be North Carolina's Bruce Carter on the second day of the draft. Carter (6-2, 243) was considered a first-round prospect before he tore an anterior cruciate knee ligament in November.

Married, Diane Waltmire
Eric Waltmire, 37
Neal Waltmire, 34
Scott Waltmire, 31
On the Record
What experiences do you have that make you a good candidate for office?
I'm the only candidate in this race who currently teaches and if elected, would be the only active educator on the MCC board. MCC benefits from a board that includes people of different backgrounds and experiences. The board needs the perspective of educators. I've not only taught high school automotive classes for twenty-eight years, I also spent eight years in the private sector as a car and truck mechanic. I understand what skills and education employers look for and my mission is education that leads to good paying jobs. I also have the perspective of a taxpayer and resident, having lived in the county for fourteen years. I have two sons that graduated MCC and I teach many students at Crystal Lake South High School that go on to attend MCC. In addition to teaching, I spent a number of years as a mediator for the National Center for Dispute Settlement. I helped car customers and manufacturers come to agreement on how to solve issues relating to repeated car repairs. In today's political environment, too often elected officials hold fast to their positions and do not look for ways to compromise. I've been in the room when there is a lot on the line and emotions run high. I've brought people together to find solutions that all parties can live with. It involves listening and keeping an open mind.
Do you support the college's long-term expansion plan? Explain.
No. I will continue to oppose MCC's flawed and wasteful $640 million, 40-year expansion plan, and call for common-sense, data-driven expansion that benefits both students and taxpayers. As the Northwest Herald noted in a July 1, 2012 article, the consultants MCC used to draft the plan relied on outdated county population figures, which were higher than more current U.S. Census data available at the time. It's irresponsible to commit the college to an aggressive and expensive building plan without solid data to support it. The forty-year window also is not appropriate, as underlying assumptions of the plan will become quickly out of date. We need to be able to adapt to changing trends in education and the economy. A five to ten year time frame is a much better way to plan.
Would you support freezing the college's levy until housing prices rebound? Why or why not?
The primary goal of both MCC and the board should be ensuring the best education and career opportunities for McHenry County students. I can only support measures that allow these goals to be met.
What one decision by the board do you most disagree with and why?
Again, I am opposed to MCC's flawed and wasteful $640 million, 40-year expansion plan.
What was the biggest accomplishment of the board in the past year?
I'm pleased that the board expanded and modernized the facilities for the culinary arts program this year. Previously, students occupied crowded cooking facilities that were shared with the cafeteria staff. Now students have adequate lab space and opportunity to learn free from distractions. The renovation makes the program more visible and will likely attract more students into this field.
Outside of any issues already discussed, what one or two things would you try to accomplish if you are elected?
I will work to ensure that the students at MCC have access to a wide selection of courses and training programs that will prepare them for today's competitive job market. I will be a strong advocate for keeping the Child Care Center open at MCC so that students with children can attend classes and further their education. It also provides Early Childhood Education students hands-on experience teaching young children.

On Tuesday, Activision's "Call of Duty: Ghosts" comes out. With a new "Call of Duty" every year, it has become a challenge to make every game unique and different. "Ghosts" attempts to make the multiplayer levels more dynamic than ever before. The Free Fall map's trailer expresses this in the best way possible.
Coming out as an exclusive pre-order multiplayer map, Free Fall throws you a breaking skyscraper crashing to the ground. This map hopes to stand out from the standard maps by including multi-tiered, breakable levels that will add a bit a chaos to the already raucousness seen in "Call of Duty" multiplayer games. The trailer shows you that not only do you have to worry about other competitors, but the map itself.
The PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and PC will see "Ghosts" this Tuesday like I mentioned. The Wii U and Xbox One versions will come out in the future. It is sure to be the highest selling game of the month and will end up being one of the top five games sold all year. Since Tuesday is still a few days off, relax and read some more news clips online.

With rain falling Saturday afternoon, a Turpin man lost his life in a one vehicle crash shortly before 5 pm. Twenty-seven year old Jaime Ortiz of Turpin was pronounced dead at about 6:45 Saturday evening at Southwest Medical Center. His passenger twenty-nine year old Andres Ortiz of Turpin was taken to Southwest Medical Center with injuries. Ortiz was driving a 2002 Chevy pick up south on county road G. He lost control and slid into the west ditch. The pick up rolled and partially ejected Ortiz, which resulted in fatal injuries. The accident was a half mile south of Highway 54 and county road G.

Mirabelle' is a tasty cherry tomato that is easy to grow and has an unusual yellow skin that makes it an interesting addition to a summer salad bowl. It produces small, grape-like fruit in mid- to late summer, so start growing 'Mirabelle' as soon as possible to make sure the plants ripen in time. Gardeners living in cooler areas should grow these under glass or against a warm, south-facing wall. As with all tomato plants, 'Mirabelle' will produce the most fruit when grown in a soil which has been enriched with well-rotted manure or compost.

Some wineries are small because they are new. Some wineries are small because they simply can't be successful enough to get any bigger. And then there are some wineries that are small by choice. Small because that is the only size that makes sense to them. Such wineries are some of my favorites because they are usually the product of interesting people with interesting stories, strong feelings and philosophies, and a commitment to some specific vision for what wine is.
Oh yeah. Sometimes they also make great wines.
Dover Canyon Winery in Paso Robles is the deliberately small creation of Dan Panico and Mary Baker, who have crafted it into a disarmingly down-to-earth winery that seems to embody everything that makes winery ownership such a dream for so many people. After two solid careers in the wine industry -- Dan as winemaker for Eberle Winery, and Mary as a tasting room, hospitality, and business manager for Wild Horse and Justin Winery among others -- they stumbled on an opportunity to start their own winery.
Opportunity came in the form of a small parcel of land in the northwest part of the Paso Robles appellation. A walnut orchard, a seven acre vineyard site and a couple of old barns that, together, looked a bit too much like heaven for Dan and Mary to pass up. A couple of bulging credit cards, a flushing sound from their savings accounts, and two small loans from family members, and Dover Canyon winery was born. Well technically, one would have to say that it was at this point that Dover Canyon winery finally had a permanent home.
The Dover Canyon label actually started back in 1992 when Dan began making his own wine for fun with the friend who would go on to paint the surreal portrait of Dan's dog, Blue, that graces the Dover Canyon wine label. Inspired by the topology of Dover Canyon, a valley which cuts through the hills of northwest Paso Robles and acts a vacuum for cooler sea air, Dan began purchasing contract grapes in small quantities from select producers to make small lots of wine.
Dover Canyon grew up a little in 1996 when the operation moved into a leased winery space offered by a friend, and it has now settled into a timeless permanence on the Dover Canyon farm, just off of Vineyard Lane. I nearly referred to it as the Dover Canyon estate, which would have been a qualitative and philosophical mistake of the highest order. While the old farmhouse is sometimes mistaken for a quaint B&B, Dover Canyon is, and will always be, a family farm, just big enough for two people and a dog to work comfortably. Which is precisely what they do.
Dogs have a special place in the heart of Dover Canyon Winery, perhaps none more so than Blue, the Saint Bernard who was a childhood companion to Dan and who saved him from drowning in a surfing accident at one point in his life. Blue is memorialized on the wine label, and also in the doggish sense of humor that plays across some of the names of the Dover Canyon wines: "Bone Lore," "White Bone," and "Cujo" among them. This sort of playfulness seems endemic at Dover Canyon -- as if every aspect of the winery proudly boasts that wine is far too precious and intimate a thing to be taken too seriously. Dan and Mary have decided, staunchly, to keep their winery from ever becoming something that doesn't feel like a family farm, even to the point of making virtually no improvements to the two "wine barns" on their property -- visitors taste wines standing at the same rough hewn workbench that used to hold horse tack and bailing wire. They've even crafted what can only be described as a manifesto about what "small" means to them on their very well written blog. If you want to know what makes small wineries so special, I've come across few such articulate explanations as theirs.
Dan and Mary make about 2500 cases of wine from their seven acre, organically farmed vineyard, as well as from fruit purchased from other sustainably farmed vineyard sites in Paso Robles. Their home (not estate!) winery, which they like to point out is also a registered nature preserve, yields vineyard designated Zinfandel and Syrah. Other wines in their portfolio include a Viognier, a Roussanne, a white blend, as well as several red Rhone blends, including this wine, which is a blend of 36% Mourvedre, 33% Grenache, and 31% Syrah.
Hand harvested, punched down by hand (both Dan's and Mary's) and aged for 20 months in mostly neutral French and American oak, only 150 cases were made. Not very much, but if you ask Dan or Mary, they're probably liable to tell you that it's just about the right amount for them to drink some and for their friends to buy some too.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine has a funky, distinctive nose of aromas that bounce between old socks, barnyard, and saddle leather. In the mouth it is smooth on the tongue with juicy flavors that have the spiciness of sandalwood incense and a plummy fruit quality that morphs to cassis as the wine heads towards a nice finish. This is an individualistic wine with something to say, and most will find the conversation very pleasing. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how this wine ages.
Food Pairing:
I'd love to drink this wine with pulled pork on arepas as in this recipe, but probably with caramelized onions instead of picked onions..
Overall Score: 9
How Much?: $24

Gronkowski then headed to Orlando, where he was snapped wearing a shirt that said, "Sorry for partying." Could he be sending a message to fans, teammates and Patriots brass? Perhaps this is Gronk's way of saying he's done with his partying ways, and he thought a lime-green tank top worn in a chance picture with a fan would be the best way to say that.
Or Gronk happened by a touristy shop that sells shirts that say things like, "Sorry for the party," "It's 5 O'clock somewhere," or, "If you're not wasted, the day is." He thought the shirt was funny, bought it, and wore it out.
Do you really think Gronk is sorry for the party? Come on. This is Gronk. Partying is part of his DNA. Sorry for the party? He's just sorry he didn't get that sweet shirt earlier, bro.

Bookmen & Bookwomen
Amber Unicorn Books, A.B.A.A.
Amber Unicorn Books was first started in 1981 by Lou and Myrna Donato in a strip mall at 2101 W. Charleston in a little 1200 sq ft store; we soon out grew that store and moved within the same mall to a 2400 sq ft store where we remained until 1997 when we sold the store but not the name. We had a very large inventory of about 150,000 books in all categories and genres. We became members of the ABAA in 1984 and became the only members in Nevada. During the early 1990's we put on and produced local and regional book fairs in Las Vegas and Southern California. Myrna continued to sell cookbooks on line after we sold the store but always missed the daily contact with people so she started thinking about another store. We had bought so many books that we needed another store because there was no more room at the house. During this time old customers would ask if we would ever consider opening another store as they missed us as much as we missed them.

"Dear Steve,
I am a single mom of 4. I recently went through a divorce in which my former husband incurred alot of credit card debt – to the tune of $76,000.
While the credit is not all mine, it is all in my name and legally I am responsible.
My montly net income is approximately $5800. I have been muttling through making only minimum payments and I am current on everything. I know that at this rate, I will never be able to pay these debts off and have no ability to build a savings account.
I have explored many options, including bankruptcy. But I have no idea which is the best route to take. I would like to honor my obligations if at possible but with so much information on the web, I have no clue what is the best route to take. But I want my life back and be able to enjoy my children and not have this constantly over my head and weighing down my self esteem. Any guidance is very much appreciated.
What is the best way to get out of debt?
Dear Dawn,
Frankly there is a lot of crap out on the web that makes people feel guilty for considering bankruptcy. The interesting fact is when you examine those statements closely, they don't add up or are supported by the facts.
I think people make a lot if ignorant statements and parrot people like Dave Ramsey without really knowing what they are talking about.
Ultimately the best way to get out of debt involves matching your situation and goals with the available solutions.
In my experience, the most reasonable and logical solution after a divorce is a bankruptcy. Once you convert a two income household to a one income household, even with some support, it does not take long for the house of cards to fall.
Besides, divorce is a fresh start from a bad marriage. Divorce is a process under the law. Bankruptcy is a fresh start from a bad financial situation. Bankruptcy is a process under the law.

College Hockey:Union Season Preview
Over the years, those guarding the crease for Union have faced a lot of rubber, so while goal is a key position on any team, it is even more crucial for the Dutchwomen. Traditionally, it has also been a position of strength.
"We have two returning goaltenders," coach Claudia Asano Barcomb said. "[Junior] Shenae Lundberg played the majority of the games. I have great expectations for her. I think she's going to be in a really good spot. Maddy Dahl is coming off an injury. She had another injury, but will be back in the lineup in mid-October. We have an incoming freshman, Emma Pincott, who I think will add a lot to the goaltending position."
Union appears to have options in goal, and under Barcomb in recent years, the Dutchwomen have done a better job of making the shot differential more manageable with their team defense. She looks to seniors Maddy Norton and Ashley Johnston to provide leadership for the other defensemen.
The big problem is that in too many seasons, Union's shooting percentage is in the range of .050 to .060, and too few goals result. Last season, it scored only 15 goals in ECAC action, an average of 0.68 per game.
"I think we added some kids that can put the puck in the net," Barcomb said. "I think our veterans need to stop thinking about it and just do it. I think a lot of drills that we've created to be more offensive that we've built over the last couple of years, but this year an emphasis that we're doing a great deal of is to have our 'D' jump up in the play a lot more. I think that will add more offense to our team."
In the three games Union has already played in the young season, it has scored multiple goals in each after not doing so over a three-game stretch at any point last season. However, the Dutchwomen did have better results out of conference last season as well, posting a 7-5 record before going winless in the ECAC.
"I think some of it is the timing of games and we need to be far better prepared in the second half," Barcomb said. "The second piece is just being able to attack the league play. That's critical, and I think we were up and down in a lot of different games. I think we're best when we don't think we have a chance. When we're in it, sometimes in the clutch part of the game in the third period, we seem to not pull through. So we spent a lot of time in the off season thinking about that and talking about it and preparing, so I hope that we are ready for that."

Willie Gault of the NFL charged with fraud
Willie Gault, former NFL player, has been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with fraud. He has been charged, along with five others, for allegedly representing himself as a "celebrity figurehead" of a medical device company involved in a stock scam.
The former wide receiver was known as the Co-CEO for Operations at Heart Tronics, a company that commonly filed false and misleading reports to increase its share price, according to the SEC.
Gault also misused investor money for his personal use.
The SEC also listed Heart Tronics Chief Executive J. Rowland Perkins as a defendant in the case.
According to Jared J. Scharf, a lawyer of the defendents, nobody was misled and the defendents did not benefit from the fraud.
Gault was recently in the news when his Super Bowl ring, won in 1985 with the Chicago Bears, was recovered after the burglary of his Los Angelos home.

In a remarkable development, the County Commission voted to enter into a partnership with Algenol that costs the taxpayer's $10 million and produces, at its start, only 120 jobs.
At first glance, this might sound like a bad deal. However, as a catalyzing of the sort of diversified economy that Lee County is practically dying for it may be the smartest investment of tax dollars yet.
Yesterdays (February 2) vote ushers in a new era for Fort Myers. Algenol, as part of a contract now agreed to, will begin setting up their headquarters on a location on Alico Road along with a laboratory and a 40- acre algae farm.
This proximity to FGCU and the Southwest International Airport has several benefits.
Firstly, Algenol is also entering into a partnership to begin the Innovation Hub which will be an area meant to attract more future-geared businesses into the area. It will also attract students and faculty of other universities with concentrations in the bio-sciences to the area and will dramatically increase the prestige of FGCU, Lee County and Southwest Florida in general.
The Innovation Hub will actually be visible to flyers coming into Southwest Florida International Airport and will become a potent public relations symbol of the new green-conscious status of Lee County.
Let's talk about why Algenol means so much. The Algenol process uses many species of blue-green algae that feed on carbon waste and saltwater to produce a cheap product that is of vast importance to the American economy: ethanol. Thus far, ethanol has been produced by a process involving corn which means competition with corn as a foodstuff. Since algae has no place on the dinner table its use by Algenol will increase potable water, oxygen and domestic-based fuel.
Algenol is at the cutting-edge of the bio-fuel industry. One of Algenol's founders and CEO, Paul Woods, is also a resident of Lee County.
Algenol has already entered into partnerships with the Department of Energy (which awarded it $25 million), Dow Chemicals, Linde and Biofields.
Its end product, ethanol, can replace foreign sources of oil, does not require the use of fossil fuel based fertilizer, and produces its own nitrogen. It has less impact on soil than raising corn, in other words and will bolster the U.S. economy as the process is refined since less imports will be required and the overall cost of fuel for the average citizen can be reduced. Right now, 25% of the corn crop is used to produce pricey ethanol. So the switch to the algae-based process holds tremendous promise.
Some are opposed to the County Commissioner's use of ad valorem tax dollars to subsidize an operation like Algenol but it must be remembered that those monies were set aside for the express purpose of diversifying the Lee County Economy.
The need for diversifying Lee County's economy became very clear after the bursting of the housing bubble. Since our economy depended mostly on construction and tourism dollars this lead to soaring unemployment and high bankruptcy and foreclosure rates.
The Innovation Hub which will result will doubtless, although it will take some time, bring in much revenue and jobs to the area.

I want to pass down my older computer to my little brother but keep part of the hard drive as one of my places to save backups. I have the HDD partitioned into 3 partitions, and all my stuff is on just one of those partitions. So ideally, I would like to make it so that his user account cannot at all access that partition. Just to block it off completely. However, on my account I would still be able to access it. If it can't be done with an entire partition, then it would be okay also to restrict or block individual folders.
How do I accomplish either of this? I've tried searching the net but I can't find it/figure it out.
The machine is running WinXP Pro 32bit.

This new app gives you the opportunity to allow your own Grumpy Cat to go viral. It is a new way to show off your best friend.
"People love sharing photos of their pets to everyone. It just brings a lot of happiness, both to the pet parents and their audience," says Alejandro Russo, CEO of Klooff. In just 3 months, their Facebook Page hit over 1M Likes. "The beauty of this is that any pet has a chance to be famous, and social media allows us to venture into pet democracy for pet parents who don't have time to celebrify their pets," co-founder Mario Encina says. Fellow co-founder Jane Chung adds, "It works for the audience too. At the end of the day, when you're tired, you don't want to read another news headline. You'd rather see something lighter, like cute pet photos."
A redesign of the beta version has resulted to these changes:
- Top 10 List - Klooff's Top 10 List features the best pet photos voted by the audience. The winning photo of the pet is shown to 1+million audience.
- Voting System - Every pet has an opportunity to be 'celebrified'. Pet parents and non-pet parents have a chance to vote everyday for their favorite photo.
- Followers or Fan Base Not Needed - E very photo published gets an instant view from everyone. Hassle and time-free.
All of this occurred because Jane Chung saw her friend's Facebook page with a cute photo of Riley the French bulldog. Now Riley may need an agent.

Accessible Housing
Room Assignments
Residence hall rooms and University apartments are available for students who need accessible or unique accommodations due to disability or chronic health problems. Since there is a demand for housing' students should apply for housing a timely manner. Additionally' students should request the accommodation at the time of application and provide disability documentation to the Disability Resource Center. The Center evaluates the information and determines the appropriate housing assignments in consultation with the Housing Office. Students who do not believe the housing assignment reasonably accommodates the disability or endangers their health or safety' may submit a written appeal to the Residence Hall Administration Board. The Board is an independent body and will make a determination as to the validity of the appeal.
Safety for students in University housing is a primary concern and requires the cooperative effort of those who live in and work in the halls plus security and fire protection personnel. The University provides numerous measures to increase the safety of all students living on campus. For students who might have problems with evacuation during an emergency' the University compiles a housing evacuation list for the police and fire safety officials to be used for priority evacuation and safety verification. Likewise' students can receive priority with telephone repair if the telephone promotes safety for the student. Students should contact the Disability Resource Center to be placed on either of these lists.

The Terre Haute City council wants to move $40,000 from the Cemetery Department to the Parks Department. They want to move the funds to cover a reorganization that saw the parks director Eddy Berg take over part of the cemetery department. The council discussed this meeting at the January 9 sunshine money.
Most of the money covers equipment and health insurance costs. Both the parks department and the cemetery department provide similar services at the properties they manage. If the council approves the measure next Thursday, it will be applied retroactively to January 1.
Zoning issues also came up during Thursday night's meeting. Guaranteed Roofing put forth a petition to rezone a property on 13th and Hulman to C-2. Vigo County's area planning commission gave the recommendation a favorable recommendation, although it placed a screening restriction on the measure.
(Note: Lara attended the meeting, but she had difficulty following what was being said. Someone sitting behind her talked throughout the whole meeting. She plans to rewrite this article as soon as she can confirm the information and clear up the noise found on her voice recorder.)
