Apply Soon for the DNAP Program...
Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia Adds Doctorate Degree, Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice
Sixty-year-old school is first in Tennessee with DNAP program,
will bolster education of current nurse anesthetists
Nashville, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia (MTSA) is approved to offer a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) degree. This is the first time a DNAP degree—a doctorate-level nursing degree that is focused on a nurse anesthetists' career—will be offered in Tennessee.
MTSA plans to start its DNAP classes in September 2013. The new program comes on the heels of a major campus expansion and renovation that will benefit MTSA's students and offer more opportunities for learning. Improvements include the addition of a second simulation skills lab where students can practice clinical procedures in an operating room environment on realistic mannequins that react like humans. Also, MTSA has added resources for distance education and space for faculty members. Future plans include building a new a lecture hall, an atrium and a learning resource center.
"The field of anesthesia is evolving, and MTSA is preparing now for important transitions we'll see in the future," said Dr. Kenneth Schwab, president of MTSA. "The DNAP program will produce higher-quality graduates with a deeper understanding of anesthesia, not simply more graduates. MTSA alumni, which can be found in clinical settings across the country, are considered the top in the industry. The DNAP will ensure they remain among the best."
The DNAP program at MTSA will be a nurse anesthesia-specific completion degree, meaning only current certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) can apply. A doctorate degree, such as a DNAP, will eventually be required for all new nurse anesthetists seeking to enter practice.
"MTSA has always put our students ahead of the curve with a rigorous education and clinical experiences that prepares them to provide anesthesia," said Chris Hulin, CRNA, MSN, MBA, MS, DNP dean and program administrator of MTSA. "The academic and physical expansions at MTSA reflect our steadfast commitment to offering students the best education possible."
A major aspect of MTSA's new DNAP program is distance learning. In a recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, more than 600 internet experts and users agreed that by 2020 "there will be mass adoption of teleconferencing and distance learning…."
MTSA is prepared for the trend with a new teleconferencing center dedicated to distance learning. Designed for professors to give virtual lectures, the distance learning classroom has built-in cameras, audio systems and noise-reducing walls. MTSA anticipates this facility will be used for the DNAP and other courses it may offer.
MTSA plans to have 12 students in its inaugural class with plans to grow in subsequent years. The school currently enrolls up to 72 students per year in its master's degree program, which has been offered at MTSA since 1994. The school has trained nurse anesthetists since 1950.
The DNAP program is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs and Tennessee Board of Nursing.
About the Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia
The Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia provides a Christian, Seventh-day Adventist learning environment that fosters the pursuit of truth, excellence in anesthesia practice, and a life of service, to supply needed anesthesia providers in Nashville, Middle Tennessee, the Central South, and nationally.

On Monday, EA CEO Andrew Wilson discussed what went wrong with the mobile revival of "Dungeon Keeper," which became the poster boy of financial exploitation seen in free-to-play games.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Wilson was questioned on the controversy surrounding "Dungeon Keeper" for iOS and Android and if EA had learned anything from the experience. Wilson began by acknowledging the lack of love consumers has with EA, made evident when the company won "Worst Company in America" for two years, and how he vowed to change that. He then admitted the situation involving "Dungeon Keeper" was a "misstep" for the publisher, going as far as calling it "a shame." EA had "misjudged" the economy placed in "Dungeon Keeper," along with scolding off longtime fans with a reboot that shared none of the quality from the original series. The end results of EA's "Dungeon Keeper" was a game that alienated fans and newcomers with its content, or lack of, with its monetization-based gameplay.
The biggest blow to the mobile version of "Dungeon Keeper" was when Peter Molyneux, original series creator, blasted the game for valuing money over gameplay. While the revival had some good parts to it, Molyneux said they were overshadowed by how "in your face" the in-app game purchases was to bypass hours of waiting time in completing simple tasks. "They're so greedy for forcing you to spend money it's scary," Molyneux said. He put no blame on developer Mythic for constructing the gameplay of "Dungeon Keeper" around in-app purchases, but instead on "analytics people" looking to nickel and dime players, than entertain them. The negative reception to "Dungeon Keeper" further damaged EA's trust with consumers and soiled the reputation of Mythic, as it became the last game developed by the company before it was shut down this year by EA.
Wilson says EA has learned its lesson regarding "Dungeon Keeper" and vowed to do a better job rebuilding player's trust in the company and its games. Eurogamer brought up "FIFA World" as an example of this, as the PC free-to-play game offered good gameplay value and fair monetization. However, news of "The Sims 4" not featuring a toddler life stage and swimming pools at launch has some fearing these longtime features will be sold as DLC down the line.

O'Neill hails 'big win'
by Stuart Vose
Boss delighted to seal three points in Lancashire.
Martin O'Neill was delighted with his side's response to an early setback as they bagged three away points at Wigan.
An own goal from David Vaughan saw Sunderland fall behind after only five minutes, but the visitors roared back to take a 3-1 lead.
Wigan pulled a goal back late on but there was to be no last-gasp comeback as Sunderland repelled late pressure to secure maximum points.
The support for the football club is fantastic. They've come in their droves to watch us in freezing conditions and they were magnificent
- Martin O'Neill
"It was a really big win for us," said O'Neill, whose side have now taken 12 points from their last six league games.
"After going a goal behind early on it was almost as if there was a hangover from Tuesday night, but having said that we responded brilliantly."
Craig Gardner netted a coolly-taken penalty on the quarter-hour to level the game before leading scorer Steven Fletcher took over.
The Scottish hitman lashed home an Alfred N'Diaye cross for 2-1 before smashing a rising drive into the top corner.
"We got the penalty, but before that there was decent play," O'Neill reflected.
"Alfred had a shot go over the bar and the equaliser looked like it might come.
"When we got it, we played some brilliant football and put ourselves 3-1 in front."
Stung into life at half time, Wigan started the second period strongly and put the visitors under considerable pressure.
They broke through 10 minutes from time when sub Angelo Henriquez headed home, but Sunderland held out to take the points.
"I would have preferred to come out in the second half and make the game a little more comfortable but that wasn't the case," O'Neill added.
"We had problems with Wigan last year and they set up to cause us the same problems.
"Wigan were dangerous – [Simon] Mignolet made some great saves when they kept pressing and we were on the back foot, but on the break we looked like we could put the game beyond them.
"They showed great heart and determination to get the goal back but fortunately we saw it through."
And the Sunderland boss reserved the last word for the 4,825 travelling supporters, who battled their way through wintry conditions to cheer their side on at the DW Stadium.
They were left celebrating at the end and O'Neill was delighted to be able to lay on three points as a reward for their commitment.
"The support for the football club is fantastic," he said. "They've come in their droves to watch us in freezing conditions and they were magnificent.
"They took the whole end behind the goal and supported the team right through – it was unbelievably encouraging."

On Friday, award-winning director and producer, Trisha Dalton, and editor and cinematographer, John Sears, announced through their website (www.iamsmallbusinessproud.com) that they are setting out on a 10-week journey to create a documentary on small business owners. The Brooklyn-based filmmakers departed from New York City on April 3rd and will travel nearly 7,300 miles across the country.
The "I Am Small Business Proud" campaign is being funded by Spark Business from Capital One. It will show insights into how entrepreneurs run their businesses. Dalton and Sears will visit 35 cities, "gathering exclusive content and insights into the lives of small business owners," according to their rep.
"As small business owners ourselves, we're looking forward to gaining even more knowledge of what makes a small business run and we can't wait to share the stories and diversity of these small business owners across America," said Trish Dalton in a statement to Business Examiner. "John and I will be talking to many owners, learning more about their passions, challenges and successes."
Cities on the tour include Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Richmond (VA), Atlanta, New Orleans, Nashville, Austin, Denver, and Seattle. According to the Small Business Administration, nearly one-half of U.S. workers are employed by companies with less than 500 employees. Small companies accounted for 64 percent of the net new jobs created between 1993 and 2011.
"This is a great way for us to capture a true representation of small business owners and celebrate what they do every single day," said Buck Stinson, senior vice president for Spark.
You can follow the voyage through the hashtag #SmallBizProud. Capital One's YouTube page will also upload video features of entrepreneurs.

A brand-new $23 million toilet replacement program will replace ineffective toilets in chosen residential properties across the five boroughs, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd announced on Friday.
The program plans to replace as many as 200,000 older toilets in up to 10,000 buildings. The DEP anticipates that the program will save roughly 10 million gallons of water per day. The first phase of the program is scheduled to start later this spring and will focus on anywhere from 7,000 to 10,000 building owners who are members of the DEP's Multifamily Conservation Program.
"In many parts of the country, cities and towns are struggling through some of the worst drought conditions in recent history, and that should remind New Yorkers that we need to make thoughtful investments now that will protect the city's growing population from the effects of climate change," Lloyd said in a statement.
The toilet replacement program is part of the DEP's plan to decrease the demand for water by 5 percent throughout the city, just as the planned shutdown and repair of the Delaware Aqueduct is scheduled to take place. The aqueduct is responsible for roughly 50 percent of the city's drinking water. The 5 percent reduction should also help reduce electricity, chemicals and other costs related to running the water system.
Over the next few weeks, the DEP plans to mail out information on how to participate in the program to eligible customers. Eligible customers must fill out an application on the DEP website to receive a $125 voucher that they can redeem at a participating vendor for the purchase of a high-efficiency toilet. The department will eventually expand the program to include smaller residential buildings, replacing an additional 550,000 toilets and saving 30 million gallons of water daily by 2018.
The new toilet replacement program is expanding upon a similar program that ran from 1994 to 1997. That program replaced 1.3 million toilets, reducing water consumption citywide by 90 million gallons each day.

Rob Walton relinquished the position of chairman of the board of directors of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., to his son-in-law, Greg Penner, at the company annual meeting on June 5.
Former Walmart president and CEO Mike Duke and company chairman Rob Walton drew large numbers negative votes when they stood for re-election to the retailer's board at the annual shareholders' meeting on Friday, June 6.
When it comes to powerful retail CEOs, the names Dave Dillon at Kroger, Frank Blake at Home Depot, Craig Jelinek at Costco and Doug McMillon at Walmart come to mind. But they've got nothing on Greg Penner.
Wal-Mart Stores chairman Rob Walton, 69, announced the appointment of Greg Penner, 44, as vice chairman at the company's shareholders' meeting Friday morning, a move that positions Penner, Walton 's son-in-law, as his successor.
Walmart chairman Rob Walton encouraged employees to "go for it," and president and CEO Doug McMillon said the company would accelerate the pace of change during the company's annual shareholders' meeting June 6 in Fayetteville, Ark.
Walmart International president and CEO Doug McMillon was given the nod over Walmart U.S. president and CEO Bill Simon to succeed Mike Duke as president of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the company announced Monday morning.
Former Accenture CFO Pamela Craig has joined the Walmart board and will serve on the retailer's audit committee involved in a two year old investigation related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The entire Walmart board was re-elected last Friday at the company's shareholders meeting, but a substantial number of negative votes indicate some investors are not happy with long-time board members and key senior leaders.
The addition of retired KPMG International chairman Timothy Flynn to the Walmart board gives the retailer some compliance expertise amid ongoing investigations into alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
It's looking like Walmart's upcoming annual meeting is going to be a bittersweet affair as the company observes its 50th anniversary against the backdrop of an unfolding Mexican bribery scandal and an appeal from a major shareholder this week urging a no vote on five board members.
The stock buyback binge Walmart has been on for the past few years is positioned as a way for the company to return cash to shareholders, and it is. However, the $25.6 billion (that's not a typo) spent by Walmart on share repurchases during the past three years has had another effect. It has driven the Walton family's ownership stake in the company to a record level of 48.18%.
As of March 31, Walton Enterprises LLC, which includes as managing members Alice, Jim and Rob Walton, owned 1,680,506,739 of the company's 3,487,721,113 outstanding shares, as disclosed in the company's proxy statement. Just five years ago, Walton Enterprises LLC's, ownership stake was 40.32% because it held the same number of shares but the number of outstanding shares was much higher at 4,167,369,745 as of March 31, 2006.

Energy Cost Calculator
1) How does an Evaporative Air Cooler work?
An evaporative air cooler cools the air by means of the evaporation of water. When water evaporates into the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change requires heat, thus energy or latent heat is taken from the air molecules - dropping the actual temperature of the air.
2) Want to know why evaporation lowers temperature?
The process of evaporation happens all the time. Our bodies, for example, perspire in hot weather; through evaporation the sweat dries and drops our body temperature.Whenever dry air passes over water, some of the water will be absorbed by the air. That's why evaporative cooling naturally occurs near waterfalls, at rivers, lakes and oceans.
3) How well do Evaporative Air Coolers cool and reduce the temperature?
The drop in temperature depends on various factors i.e. Air Temperature, % Relative Humidity Level, Room Size, Degree of Insulation & Cross Ventilation. The temperature of air coming out of an evaporative air cooler depends on the temperature and the humidity of the air going in. The constant movement of the air created by the blower - the cooling breeze it creates, makes the occupants of a room feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler than the actual temperature.Evaporative air coolers works best in the hottest time of the day. As the temperature outside increases as the sun climbs, the humidity normally drops. In the early morning, for example, the temperature may be 70 degrees, with a relative humidity of 60 percent. By mid-afternoon, when the temperature has climbed to 90 degrees, the humidity may well have dropped to 30 percent - conditions that make evaporative cooling work more effectively.
4) How to choose the right-sized evaporative air cooler?
Evaporative air coolers are rated by CFMs (the cubic feet per minute of air that the cooler can blow into your home.Whether it is for a small room or a whole house, there is a simple formula to identify the proper size of evaporative air cooler you need.
SQUARE FEET AREA X CEILING HEIGHT divide by 2 = CFM OF AIRFLOW NEEDED.
5) Why my unit is not an Air Conditioner?
An evaporative air cooler is not an air conditioner as it does not use a compressor and refrigerant gas. One should not expect an evaporative air cooler to work as effectively as refrigerated air conditioning. However,the advantages of the evaporative air cooler over refrigerated air conditioning are:
Low purchase cost, Low electricity usage, Environment friendly (No refrigerant gas) and Maximum portability
6) What is Honeycomb cooling media and how does it help in cooling the air?
Honeycomb evaporative cooling pads are designed to provide maximum cooling, low pressure drop and years of reliable service.It is made from specifically engineered cellulose paper that is chemically treated to resist deterioration. Cross fluted, unequal angle pad design promotes the beneficial mixing of air and water for optimum cooling. This unique design also functions to continually direct more water to the air entering face of the pad, where the air is the hottest, driest, dirtiest and the most intense evaporation occurs.
7) How can I improve the performance of my Air Cooler?
a) By adding ice in the ice compartment (if available in your unit).
b) Keep windows open for cross-ventilation .
c) Keep air vent free from any obstructions.
d) Make sure the water tank is filled with clean water.

In the early days of PC gaming most people got their gaming fix from games delivered by mail order. As sales increased, retail distribution of games on media such as floppy disks, CDs and eventually DVDs took over. Now further evidence of the changing gaming market landscape has been provided by market research company, The NPD Group. According to its PC Games Digital Downloads: Analyst Report, digital distribution is close to overtaking retail as the most popular form of distribution of PC games. The report says that 21.3 million PC full-game digital downloads were purchased online in the U.S. in 2009 compared to 23.5 million physical units purchased at retail in the same period – a difference of just 2.2 million.

If your child's shaky printing looks like a spooky note left by a ghost, chances are you've already heard the term fine motor skills. Preschoolers and kindergarteners often haven't developed the little muscles in their hands and fingers necessary for proper cutting and neat handwriting, but once kids enter elementary school fine motor skills are crucial. Almost every task in the classroom requires the use of these muscles, whether it's writing answers to math problems, journaling, cutting, gluing or sorting manipulatives.
It will take some time, but with constant practice there are ways to improve a child's fine motor development. Louann Brescini, a preschool teacher in Yorba Linda, CA, shared some fun ways to exercise and strengthen little fingers. Here are her top 7.
1.Crumple a paper into a small ball and then flick it with the finger. Play soccer with the paper ball.
2.Use a deck a cards to shuffle, deal and then play a game of War.
3.Do connect the dots and puzzle books.
4.Use "Wikki Stix," "Bendaroos" or cooked spaghetti to form shapes, letters, numbers and other designs. You may want to use a template.
5.Color using the flat side of a crayon. Put paper over leaves, stencils and other objects so that the child gets sensory feedback as he colors.
6.Play with playdough. Poke, squeeze, pound, press, knead, etc.
7.Make a necklace with yarn, beads, ring shaped cereal and/or large holed buttons.

It was a particularly warm June evening, and my girlfriends and I had been planning a weekend getaway for what seemed like forever. That day would finally arrive tomorrow. I was really looking forward to getting away from everything; it would be a welcome break. I went to sleep dreaming about all the fun we would have.
The spot we picked could not have turned out any more spectacular. It seemed to be land that had barely been touched by mankind. By spending any amount of time in this paradise, one could clearly see God's handiwork. It had been a long day getting to our destination. So we decided that we would settle in our camping spot and prepare something to eat for dinner. After dinner, someone suggested that we each share an event that had changed our lives in some way. I volunteered to go first with my story.
The event that changed my life happened on what had previously been an uneventful night. I was at home, and I started reading the newspaper. I noticed there was a good movie playing that night at the theatre so I decided to go and see it.
It was a nice night, and I decided to walk. I was just about to enter the theatre when a man stopped in front of me and asked for directions to the police station. He said he had to make a report about something that had been stolen from him earlier that day. I was giving him directions, and then, all of a sudden, before I knew what was going on, he grabbed me. He had a knife, and he took me to an alley that was around the corner from the theatre. He then started saying stuff that I could not really understand. He seemed to be high on some kind of drug, and he was freakishly strong. He started to hit my face repeatedly and banging the back of my head against a cement slab. He also tried to rip my clothes off while trying to suffocate me. I was very scared, and I felt like I was going to pass out very soon. I started to think about my family, and all of the plans that I had for how I wanted my life to be.
It had gotten dark, and I noticed headlights in the alley directly across the street from where we were. A man got out of his car, and started talking in Spanish to the guy who was attacking me. I did not understand what he was saying, but he did get my attacker's attention, and that gave me a chance to get away. I then ran to the theatre, and asked for the manager. He took one look at me — I was bloody and bruised up — and he wanted me to wait outside for the police because he thought I would scare away his customers. I told him I would wait in the back, but I was not going to go outside. So I waited in the back of the theatre for the police to arrive, and they took me to the hospital. I truly believe that the guy in the alley had been sent to appear at just the right time to confront my attacker and give me the chance to get away.

Suppose a truck has a capacity of 100 and order sizes to be filled are normal distributed with mean 95 and standard deviation of 10. There is about 30% chance that capacity is exceeded. In this case the truck is sent off with a load of 100. How do you calculate the average truck load?

You can read about truncated normal distributions on Wikipedia.
Using $f(x)$ for the normal probability density with $\mu=95$ and $\sigma=10$, and $F(x)$ for the cumulative distribution, what you are looking for is
$$\int_{-\infty}^{100} x f(x) dx + 100\int_{100}^{\infty} f(x) dx$$
and the first integral comes to $ \mu F(100) - \sigma^2f(100) $ while the second integral comes to $100(1-F(100)) $, giving a sum of $$100 - (100-\mu)F(100) - \sigma^2 f(100)$$ $$ \approx 100 - 5 \times 0.6914625 - 100 \times 0.03520653 $$ $$\approx 93.02203. $$
Strictly you should also truncate if the normal distribution gives a load of less than zero, but in this case that part of the calculation would be lost in the rounding.

Khyesha McCall, Marvell-Elaine High School's FBLA President, boarded a bus headed for Washington D.C. on January 19. She was among 300 people on board one of six buses traveling with the Arkansas Martin Luther King Jr. Commission to President Obama's inauguration. After stops in Knoxville, Tenn. and Christiansburg, Va., the group arrived in D.C. Sunday afternoon. The anticipation and excitement of the 57th presidential inauguration grew for Khyesha after she had her ticket in hand for the inauguration ceremonies. Khyesha said she had an ideal spot to witness the event. Besides recalling President Obama's vision of broadening equality and prosperity, combating global warming and nurturing world democracy, she was moved by the fact that he said it would take a "collective action" to confront the nation's challenges. "He spoke about our (the nation's) possibilities being limitless because of all the qualities we possess," commented Khyesha. She felt as though his speech was a message of hope and unity. Besides attending the inauguration and witnessing some historical snippets along the National Mall, Khyesha visited the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Veteran's Memorial and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. The highlight of her trip was her tour of the King Memorial. She felt that the placement of Dr. King's Memorial and the rock used in creating his statue were significant. His memorial is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial. "In essence, we have three great leaders from the last three centuries," she said. "The crystals in the granite represent the fact that Dr. King's Dream would not and could not be achieved based upon his efforts alone—it would the result of collaborative actions by people. Working together, we can change circumstances and events to achieve a universal dream." As an added bonus, the Arkansas Martin Luther King Jr. Commission sponsored a "King/Obama Celebration Ball". This cultural enrichment field trip is one of the many cultural enrichment trips, which Marvell-Elaine High School provides for its students, and it signifies the district's theme of "Success Is Our Only Option!"

Guess what I got…
Waiting for me when I got home today was my "River Triumphant" statue from Diamond Select Toys. One of only 1,000 (#16!), this statue was sculpted by Michael Norman. Here's the lowdown.
The box was bigger than I expected. Dunno why, but I was thinking it would be maybe twice as thick as an action figure box. Instead it's as big as a good-sized monitor to hold the two separate pieces — River and the base — in plenty o' styrofoam. (The styrofoam has a raised Serenity logo on it, which made me smile when I saw it)
The statue is pleasantly heavy, with a square base and four sculpted dead Reavers arranged around it, all of them holding various wicked-looking weapons and all of them in some physical distress. Lots of detail there, lot of variation on the tattered clothing, mismatched holsters and makeshift armor. River attaches to the base with four small magnets, two in the base and two in her boots, which hold her solidly without me having to force her onto those annoying little plastic pegs. The stance is good, although I would have liked to see some dripping blood. Too PG, I guess. Plenty of blood on her dress, though. The dimensions are 7" high, 10 1/2" across, and almost 11" deep.
On her own River is a touch under 6" high, designed be in scale with the other Serenity action figures. She stands by herself very well, thank you. No moving parts.
The sculpt is better than I expected from the promo pics. The eye makeup gives her a vaguely Asian look and the face is a bit off in a way I can't describe — possibly simply because the statue isn't sweating after beating up a room full of Reavers — but from some angles it looks pretty good. The hair she has looks nicely Riverish. I think it would have helped had her hair been more over her face but that may not have been feasable for a statue.
The weapons are good, very true to the screen versions. She has her movie poster axe and the Reaver sword, and her combat boots. The paint job is decent; the touchiest areas on River are where her arms and hands touch her weapons and where her hair meets her face, there's a little bleed there (love the extended finger on the axe hand). The blood spatters on her dress do not match the ones on the box, maybe they're all different? Very likely, if they're hand painted. The Reavers are mud-spattered and dirty, the metal is worn and rusty, and the exposed brain matter glistens nicely.
On the bottom of the base is the description and hand-written number, which is also written on the bottom of the box and on the certificate of authenticity included.
Overall I'm pretty pleased, and I'm looking forward to seeing more in this line. TFAW.com has a few in stock right now for 10% off the $99 retail price. And don't miss my interview with DST's Michael Leavy about the River statue and the upcoming "Inara Strikes" statue, which you can preorder from TFAW.com for 20% off the $99 retail price. Ship date for Inara is (so far) October 31, 2007.

Former Monster Lawyer Charged in Backdating Case
The former general counsel of Monster Worldwide, Myron Olesnyckyj, is expected to plead guilty to criminal charges involving stock-option backdating this afternoon in federal court in Manhattan. The SEC also filed charges today against Olesnyckyj alleging he participated in and benefited from a fraudulent backdating scheme beginning in 1996. Here's the WSJ story.
Olesnyckyj has reportedly agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan and is expected to describe the role of founder Andrew McKelvey and others in stock-options practices at Monster, according to people familiar with the matter.
Monster suspended and ultimately fired Olesnyckyj last year. He joined the company in 1994 after eight years with Fulbright & Jaworski. He is represented by Leslie Caldwell and Robert Romano at Morgan Lewis. (Factoid: Caldwell was the first director of the Enron Task Force)
Olesnycki would be the tenth person to be charged with criminal offenses related to stock-options backdating, and the second attorney. William Sorin, Comverse's former top lawyer, pleaded guilty in November to a conspiracy charge in federal court in Brooklyn. The WSJ also reported earlier this week that the feds are preparing criminal charges against Kent Roberts, the former general counsel of McAfee, related to alleged backdating.
The case against Olesnycki is the first backdating case brought by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. For those keeping score, the U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco brought backdating charges against executives at Brocade; the Brooklyn, N.Y., branch brought the case against executives at Comverse Technology; and yesterday, the Manhattan D.A.'s office chimed in, obtaining a guilty plea from the former CEO of Take-Two Interactive.

Sinclair, Smiths head Commonwealth Games team
Andre Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter
World Championships medal winners Maurice Smith, Kenia Sinclair and Trecia Smith head a list of 48 athletes who have been assembled to represent Jamaica at the October 3-14 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.
The delegation also includes eight officials, headed by Chef de Mission Major Desmond Brown and team manager Judith Ewart.
The squad, void of the island's brightest track and field luminaries due to the unfavourable timing of the Games and its less-than-grandeur appeal, also features two-time Central America and Caribbean (CAC) Games shot put champion Dorian Scott, who also has a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games to his credit; national high jump champion Sheree Francis; former CAC Junior champion Andrea Bliss; World Junior Championships finalist Davita Prendagast; and national 100m champion Oshane Bailey.
Maurice Smith, who has a World Championships silver medal, CAC and Pan American gold, along with a Commonwealth Games silver medal to his name, is expected to do well in the decathlon event, where he will be joined by countryman Claston Bernard, who won gold at the Commonwealth Games in 2002.
Sinclair has won silver medals atthe Commonwealth Games and the IAAF World Indoor Championships, both in 2006, and will lend some experience in the women's 800m event, while Trecia Smith, the 2005 world champion in the triple jump and the 2006 Commonwealth Games champion in the same event, will also be looking to return to her best at the India Games.
The men's sprint team will be led by Bailey, Lerone Clarke in the 100m, while Lansford Spence, Steve Slowly and Ramone McKenzie will feature in the 200m.
As reported in The Gleaner some time ago, highly respected Holmwood Technical High School coach, Maurice Wilson, has been appointed as the head coach for the contingent, with Michael Clarke, Kirkland Douglas and Maurice Westney completing the coaching team.
WOMEN: Yanique Boothe (100m, 4x100m), Shanna Thomas (100m, 4x100m), Audra Segree (200m, 4x100m), Davita Prendagast (400m, 4x400m), Dominique Blake (400m, 4x400m), Nadia Cunningham (400m), Tanice Barnett (800m), Kenia Sinclair (800m), Twishanna Williams (1500m), Andrea Bliss (100m hurdles, 4x100m), Nickeisha Wilson (400m hurdles, 4x400m), Sheree Francis (high jump), Nickiesha Beaumont (long jump, 4x400m), Nickevea Wilson (long jump, 4x400m), Trecia Smith (triple jump), Zara Northover (shot put), Nadia Alexander (shot put), Natalie Grant (hammer throw), Tammilee Kerr (javelin, Heptathlon), Kateema Tiette (javelin), Peaches Roach (Heptathlon). MEN: Oshane Bailey (100m, 4x100m), Lerone Clarke (100m, 4x100m), Rasheed Dwyer (100m, 4x100m), Lansford Spence (200m, 4x100m, 4x400m), Steve Slowly (200m, 4x100m), Remaldo Rose (4x100m), Ramone McKenzie (200m, 400m), Allodin Fothergill (400m, 4x400m), Oral Thompson (400m, 4x400m), Ricardo Cunningham (800m, 4x400m), Aundrae Drummond (800m), Rayan Lawrence (1500m), Shawn Pitter (1500m), Hansle Parchment (110m Hurdles), Eric Keddo (110m hurdles), Roxroy Cato (400m hurdles, 4x400m), Adrian Findlay (400m hurdles), Josef Robertson (400m hurdles), Nicholas Thomas (long jump), Darrel Garwood (high jump), Wilbert Walker (triple jump), Dorian Scott (shot put), Raymond Brown (shot put), Jason Morgan (discus), Jabari Ennis (pole vault), Christopher Smith (pole vault), Maurice Smith (decathlon), Claston Bernard (decathlon).
OFFICIALS: Judith Ewart (team manager), Corinne Clarke (assistant manager), Dennis Gordon (assistant manager), Ravi Rochlani (assistant manager), Maurice Wilson (head coach), Michael Clarke (coach), Kirkland Douglas (coach), Maurice Westney (coach).

In speaking with the Creative Director for the upcoming cooperative shooter Evolve Phil Robb, he shed some light on what will make the maps different. In Evolve, a group of four Hunters designed with different roles are tasked with taking down a large monster, which will be another person or maybe even you. As the monster, you "Evolve" through three stages by eating and consuming wildlife which also builds and rebuilds your armor back up. Well, this wildlife serves a dual purpose on these maps as it will mainly benefit whoever is playing the monster, rather it be by consumption, or setting traps for the hunters.
According to Robb, not one map will be the same, nor will the majority of wildlife crossover. A lot of games don't offer many maps at release, and most charge later as DLC. Just at launch, there is at least twelve maps planned with the possibility of more. With the game being recently delayed, that should play into the favor of having more maps playable at the time of release. As for the environments, they will have their own sets of flora and fauna. Robb states that when Turtle Rock Studios announced the first map, they had the Tyrant. This was a giant crocodile which hid out in a pool. Any hunters approach the pool, they are liable to get snatched up and eaten without warning. Situations like this is why sticking together is important, because if you go rogue, you could get caught up in the tiniest of fauna and die because no one is around to save you.
These maps are not like Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios other major title, where it's a Point A to Point B layout. The world is open and filled with obstacles. As of E3, Robb and his team had introduced the Megamouth. This creature is like a giant toad that camouflages itself in rocks. If you get near him, he'll grab you and that's game over. If you're playing as the monster, you can use this to your advantage and lure the Hunters to the area.
"There's a spot where a couple of these Megamouths hang out, so if you're trying to lose the Hunters, you can lead them to these areas to help you out as the monster. There will be some crossover between the wildlife and the plants, but they all sort of have their own "nasties" in them (the enrivonments) that you have to watch out for."
On top of the twelve maps, as of E3 Phil Robb had stated that there will be three playable monsters at release, along with 12 playable Hunter characters. That amounts to three characters per class. In fact, Turtle Rock Studios only had two monsters and about eight hunters completed. The delay might not please some people, but it will release at a time when less games are available in comparison to its original date, October 21st. This could mean the possibility of more content at launch such as more game modes, characters, monsters, and maps. Stay tuned for more information regarding Evolve.

Aplets & Cotlets Cookies are superb! They are a perfect blend of oatmeal, aplets & cotlets, walnuts, & spices - not too soft, not too crunchy, not too sweet; just right. The fruit-pattern tin they come in is also very attractive. I will definitely buy these cookies again.

Initially it seemed that the Expression suite of products would not be included in the MSDN subscription, which caused a fair bit of uproar among developers who will be charged with working with designers and, often times, mocking up their own designs of WPF apps. Well, Microsoft took this feedback and acted on it, announcing today that some SKUs in the Expression line (but notably not the full-blown suite) will be available to developers via MSDN. Specifically, Expression Web and Expression Blend will be available at no extra charge to MSDN Premium Subscribers. Read more from ScottGu and Soma.

Tell Me Lies
Jennifer Crusie
1999 reissue of 1998 release, Contemporary Romance
St. Martin's Press, $7.50, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 0312966806
There are two reviews of this book.
Maggie Faraday, Frog Point, Ohio's favorite "Good Girl," is most
having a bad day when she discovers a pair of black lace crotchless
that are not hers under the front seat of her husband's Cadillac. Her
husband, Brent, does not top her list of favorite people on the best of
days, but this is simply too much. "Good Girl" or not, this calls for
divorce, especially since it isn't the first time her husband has
"Bad Boy" C.L. Sturgis is not having a good day, either. He is back in
Point after a twenty-year absence to do his ex-wife a favor. His job is
examine the books at the local construction company owned by Howie and
Treva Basset, and Brent and Maddie. But first he has to track down
Brent to
get permission, and Brent is successfully evading him, a near
in a town as small as Frog Point. Things don't look better after he
to ask Maddie where Brent is, and realizes that the hopeless crush he
on her since the fifth grade is still alive and well.
Maddie's eight-year old daughter, Emily, is not having a good day since
is trying to find a way to get Maddie to let her have a dog, while
not to think about how tense things are at home between her mom and
Treva, Maddie's best friend, doesn't seem to be having a good day,
but Maddie is too preoccupied with her own problems to find out why, at
least at first.
Despite cover blurbs promising murder and mayhem, Tell Me
Lies is not a plot-driven story. It is very much character-driven,
and the murder doesn't happen until quite late in the book, which in
entirety spans only a handful of days. Ms. Crusie is a master, however,
funny yet realistic internal thought, and the humor and witty dialogue,
combined with the occasional unexpected plot twist, make this a page
turner. The secondary characters are as well developed as the primary
ones, and
all have a believable mix of vice and virtue that makes even Maddie's
scumbag husband a somewhat sympathetic character. The town of Frog
Point is
a character in its own right, and anyone possessing experience with
towns will appreciate the shrewdly accurate portrayal of gossip,
loyalty, and love. There are no flat stereotypes here, just people.
This book is a celebration of more than romance and gossip. The
between Maddie and Treva is a high point, and it's mirrored by the
between their two young daughters. The stability of friendship that
stretches over the course of a lifetime, and bridges generations, is
precious in an age where it has become rare.
Maddie and C.L. are loveable, and it isn't hard to want them together
the start. Maddie's determination to get rid of her "Good Girl"
becomes a little extreme, however, and the humor in the role reversal
and C.L. undergo is exaggerated almost to the point of becoming
The pacing is so fast that there is little time for Maddie's attitudes
emotions to evolve, and she makes some rather major leaps from time to
The genuine anguish Emily experiences over her father is a
counterpoint to the humor, and serves as a sober reminder that silver
linings are still attached to clouds. This adds poignancy to the story,
though, and makes the final outcome all the sweeter.
This was the first book of Crusie's that I've read, but it certainly
be the last. Her humor, definitely "woman's" in nature, ranges from
to laugh-out-loud funny, and Jennifer Crusie will be added to my list
authors whose work I turn to when I have a "bad day" of my own!

Latest Tom Cruise dating rumors have emerged that the actor is seeing actress Laura Prepon. Yes, this is yet another report about who Cruise's new girlfriend could be.
Prepon was raised in a Russian Jewish and Irish Catholic family in New Jersey. Prepon's first experience being exposed to Scientology was about 14 years ago. Her boyfriend, Chris Masterson, and "That 70s Show" co-star, Danny Masterson, introduced her to it.
This latest news comes from a RadarOnline April 18 report. Tom Cruise's rumored girlfriend has been named in an abundant amount of Scientology literature for working in various programs. By the time she was through completing one of them, Cruise was promoting a rehabilitation program for people who experienced the 9/11 attacks.
Since Laura Prepon broke up with Masterson in 2007, she's been spotted with big stars like John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Cruise has also been in the company of Travolta and Preston as well. Prepon's family friend, Alanna Masterson, was dating Connor Cruise last summer. A rep for Tom Cruise has denied that he's dating Prepon, according to the report.
A few weeks ago Cruise was in the news over finding the right girlfriend. "Mad Men" actress, Elisabeth Moss, was the one media sources reported as an ideal match for Cruise. Of course, those were once again dating rumors. It's not even known if the two have ever met. All of this was based on the fact that Moss is also into Scientology.
Tom Cruise dating rumors will dominate the Internet until he gets serious about someone again. Who will be his next girlfriend?

The Cobra MicroTalk CXR925 shines when it comes to real-world transmission range. It's also packed with useful features, including a unique 20-second rewind that lets you play back a fragment of the last transmission. However, issues with reception volume and battery performance, together with a high price tag, hold it back.
Beats several others for range. As with most two-way radios, the Cobra MicroTalkCXR925 falls far short of its 35-mile advertised range. Still, Lisa Densmore of CampingLife.com says her testers reached for the Cobra CXR925 any time reception seemed dubious. "It had the clearest sound and was more likely to get reception than the other radios, even when its battery was low," she writes. An Amazon.com user reports that the CXR925 could transmit 5 miles with no problem over "gently rolling terrain with some buildings." Another writes that the CXR925 "worked great for communicating in mountain regions ... with hills in between."
Full of common-sense features. One of the CXR925's most popular features is the "Rewind-Say-Again" setting, which records and plays back the last 20 seconds of each transmission. "Sometimes I don't know exactly what was said and it is nice to be able to listen again for clarity," writes one Amazon.com user. Other handy features include NOAA weather channels, a vibrating call alert, channel scanning, voice activation and an automatic power shut-off that kicks in if you've accidentally left the transmit button on. The only problem we saw is that a couple of users find the interface needlessly complicated.
Volume and battery problems. The Cobra MicroTalk CXR925 draws praise for its battery life from CampingLife.com, which notes that the CXR925's rechargeable battery lasted the longest of the four radios tested. Good thing, too, because you cannot substitute AA batteries for the CXR925's Lithium-ion battery. We found many complaints about battery issues for the CXR925, such as batteries that wouldn't charge or had faulty contacts. Another common flaw is that the reception volume on many units is too low to hear. However, this problem seldom pops up in more recent reviews, so it's possible Cobra has corrected it.

CampingLife.com recruits teens and pre-teens to test four two-way radio models, including the Cobra CXR925. Lisa Densmore calls this model the "unexpected favorite," saying it had the clearest sound, best reception and longest battery life of the four. Its only real downside is its relatively high price.
Review: FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio Shootout, Lisa Densmore, Dec. 14, 2011
2. Amazon.com
About 80 Amazon.com reviewers give the Cobra CXR925 an overall score of 3.7 stars out of 5. The overall consensus is that range and sound quality are both very good -- unless you get a radio that suffers from the volume problems that plague this model.

The University of Miami men's basketball team has finished its season and though the record wasn't the disaster it looked to have the potential to be when the Hurricanes opened with a loss at home to St. Francis Brooklyn, neither could it be rated a particularly good year.
One plus: By beating Virginia Tech in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, the Hurricanes did avoid their first losing season since they were 12-20 back in 2006-07.
Their failure to complete a comeback in their loss to North Carolina State in the second round, however, left them with a 17-15 mark, snapping a stretch of seasons with at least 20 wins at four.
Despite the loss of six seniors, better things look to be in the immediate future. Four players who were contributors in the 7-11 ACC regular season -- guard Manu Lecomte and Davon Reed, forward James Kelly, and center Tonye Jekiri -- are due back in 2014-15.
They will be joined by three other players who easily could have been starters this past season but had to sit out, two (guards Angel Rodriquez from Kansas State and Sheldon McClellan from Texas) because of NCAA transfer rules and one (freshman guard Deandre Burnett) because of injury.
Coach Jim Laranaga also signed four quality players last November and will be looking to add a fifth, preferably a veteran transferring from another school with immediate eligibility, in the spring.
The school today released an update on the status of the four prospects who signed last November and will join the team next fall. Here are excerpts from the release:
-- Ja'Quan Newton of Philadelphia's Neumann-Goretti High, is the premier player in Pennsylvania. ESPN ranks him No. 1 in the state and the 12th-best point guard in the country.
After leading his 22-4 team with an average of 21.7 points per game, Newton was crowned the Catholic League MVP and named to the All-Catholic First Team. He guided the Saints to a sixth-straight Catholic League Championship.
Newton recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in the first round of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association playoffs this weekend as Neumann-Goretti topped Berks Catholic 62-46.
Newton's perimeter scoring capability is an aspect of his game that Larranaga hopes can replace the productivity of graduating seniors Rion Brown and Garrius Adams.
-- Ivan Cruz Uceda was born in Madrid, Spain, and has played the last two seasons at Harcum College, a junior college in Philadelphia. Harcum was ranked as high as No. 4 in the NJCAA rankings and finished the season with an overall 29-3 record. A 6-10 center, Uceda averaged a double-double (14.7 points, 10.2 rebounds) per game and shot 62 percent from the field.
Uceda started in all 32 games this season, including Harcum's 77-73 loss to Westchester Community College in the NJCAA Region XV Championship. Uceda's versatility was on full display in the championship -- 15 of his team-best 21 points came from behind the three-point line, where he made five of his 10 tries. The center was just as effective in the paint, securing 12 rebounds, which were also a team high.
-- James Palmer, a guard out of St. John's College High in Washington, D.C., earned the No. 1 player ranking in the D.C. region from ESPN.
Palmer is a 6-5 shooting guard who averaged a team-high 15.7 points per game. St. John's fell a game short of the D.C. State Athletic Association final, falling 84-77 to Theodore Roosevelt High in the semifinal.
Palmer, is still not yet 18 years old and, according to Larranaga, is "baby-faced and doesn't shave yet. He looks like he should be going into his junior year of high school rather than freshman year of college."
-- Omar Sherman is a three-star Texan from Duncanville High School, outside of Dallas. Listed at 6-9, Sherman is the No. 10 recruit in Texas and No. 19 center in the country, as ranked by ESPN. Sherman paced Duncanville to a 20-12 season, leading the team with 17.1 points per game and 8.4 rebounds per game.
"Sherman has a beautiful, soft, left-handed shooting touch from three-point range, kind of like a Kenny Kadji," Larranaga said, referring to one of the leaders of the Miami team that won the 2013 ACC regular-season and tourney titles. "He also has a nice low-post, left-handed jump hook game. And we felt as he got bigger and stronger, he could be a force offensively, but also a very good and serviceable rebounder."
Sherman guided Duncanville to a birth in the regional quarterfinals of the Texas UIL Boys State Basketball Championships, where it ultimately lost to Hebron, 52-44.

I just posted this at OCDC but thought I would share here also. I thought I would send a letter to my Sheriff and point out to him the contradictions between my CPL and the law. I faxed him the letter below along with a hard copy of the Alabama Tri-fold and State of Alabama Firearms and Weapons Laws (found at Alabama Gun Law Information).
Sheriff Franklin,
Good afternoon, my name is Shaun Reinert and I wanted to contact you in regards to the legality of open carry of a pistol in Alabama. I am relatively new concealed pistol license (CPL) holder in Elmore County. Since receiving my permit I have joined several internet forums for people with CPLs in order to gain knowledge about concealed carry gear, situational awareness and to gather other information that will help me to become a safer and more responsible permit holder. During some of my investigation I have come across quite a bit of information that seems to indicate that open carry of a pistol is legal in the State of Alabama. I have attached two (2) documents that were put together by some folks at Alabama Gun Law Information. Would you be open to reviewing these documents and consider allowing persons within the County to carry openly without risk of arrest, detainment or possible revocation of their CPL? Id also like to suggest a visit to the website listed above for additional information on the legality of open carry in Alabama.
Restriction #1 on my CPL states that the permit does not permit me to carrying openly, however after reviewing the attached documents it appears that it is completely within my rights to carry openly without a permit of any kind (as long as I am afoot and not in a vehicle) per Alabama Statute 13A-11-73.
Restriction #4 states that I am not allowed to carry my pistol in any place that serves alcohol. I realize that common sense would dictate that carrying while consuming alcohol is terribly irresponsible and should be prohibited. However, would you consider it ok to carry in a restaurant that sells alcohol as long as I was not consuming?
Restriction #5 restricts the carry of my pistol within government buildings, airport terminals, etc. However the Alabama Statute 13A-11-59(b) only restricts concealed carry while attending any demonstration being held at a public place. Also, the Statute 13A-11-72(c) & (d) specifically allows a citizen to carry a pistol on the premises of a public school as long as there is no intent to bodily harm.
In addition, the Alabama Statute 11-45-1.1 reserves the entire subject matter of handguns to the State Legislature, thereby voiding any and all restrictions on the CPL that are not in concert with the Alabama Statutes.
Please do not misunderstand my intentions. They are not to question or undermine your authority, but only to bring to your attention what appear to be contradictions between the law and the restrictions on my CPL. As a matter of preference I do not necessarily want to openly carry my pistol, but would like to have the option available to me, without the threat of arrest, detainment or revocation of my CPL, as it appears to be legal. Also, there is a large community of CPL holders across the State of Alabama, many of them here in Elmore County, that would also like to have this option. I know there is a concern about man with a gun calls and the difficulty in differentiating between bad guys and good guys, however there is a common saying Im sure you have heard, a right not exercised, is a right lost.
Any thoughts or opinions you may have on this matter are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this fax and review the attached information. I can be reached at the telephone number listed above or at my e-mail address: email@example.com.
Thanks again,
Well, 5 minutes after I sent the fax, my phone rang and it was Sheriff Franklin!! He was very friendly and we had a fantastic conversation. He said he is all for exercising of our rights, including the right to open carry. He stated that everything I stated in my fax was true and he agreed fully. His only issue was what I stated in my next to last paragraph regarding "man with a gun" calls. He said his deputies and other city police don't know if the person with firearm is a GG or BG. Their protocol is to approach and gather information "What's goin' on?" "How are you?" etc. If everything goes well then no problem. They have been instructed, and understandably so, that on the first indication that a confrontation may occur, then the situation is escalated accordingly. This makes me fell better about maybe one day getting a wild hair and choosing to open carry. He also stated that I would be hard pressed to find a Sheriff in Alabama that did not share his views on this matter. He also stated that my letter and the attached information was very informative and they he was to keep it and reference it if he ran into any issues or questions regarding OC.

Minutes from I-80 and Newpark Town Center, you'll find paradise—where the sounds of Subuarus and the patio chatter at Maxwell's East Coast Eatery give way to the croaking of chorus frogs.
The wetlands give off strong stench and the ground is squishy. It's shared by elk, tiger salamanders and the poster-animals for this Wasatch Back promised land, sandhill cranes—the oldest living bird species known to man. "They found a skull that was 10 million years old in the Platte River Valley," says Nell Larson, director of conservation at Swaner EcoCenter. "When people say they sound prehistoric, they're not far off."
In 1993, locals got together to preserve the wetlands. Working with Summit County, Natural Resources Conservation Services and Utah Open Lands, they saved 1,200 acres and created Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter. In 2010, the property was turned over to Utah State University to expand educational opportunities On May 28, Larson led a media tour deep in the wetlands, where the public isn't allowed without a guide.
First we explored the EcoCenter itself, at the West end of Newpark. From the bamboo floors to the photovoltaic generators converting solar radiation into electricity, the building is LEED platinum certified. After trudging into wetlands, we learned creating a preserve so close to an urban area is no small task. Man's impact is clear in tire tracks from a vehicle driven through the area years ago. A Chevron oil piepline, no longer in use, has made itself part of the scenery—a permanent fixture since removing it would disturb the ecology.
Still, out there, you might see Columbia spotted frogs. In fact, Swaner hopes you'll see more of them. The frog is being reintroduced to the area with egg masses, protected from predators with netted cages.
If you're lucky, you'll see a bat make use of one of the bat boxes sticking out of the ground like bird houses.
Pop a Claritin and put on shoes or boots you can wash off. Other than that, take nothing and only leave footprints.
"It's not a wetland without water," says Larson, but she doesn't take it for granted.
Much of Swaner's water comes from Park City's mountain streams, meaning Swaner is not the only place that wants it. Noxious weeds threaten to knock out native plants, which could disturb the fragile ecosystem. Along with being a place to cherish, it's a place to protect.
Unfortunately, our group of reporters didn't see many native animals on our venture, but the solemnness of the space and getting to know this wild land just outside the city was well worth the muddy shoes.
