News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012
APPLING, Ga. -- A prominent local animal rescue is being investigated by the state. The Department of Agriculture and Columbia County Health Department are both looking into violations at CSRA Happy Tails Rescue in Appling.
Violations include everything from a lack of paperwork on the animals to unsanitary conditions.
It's not the first time the state has had issues with CSRA Happy Tails, but inspection reports and photos obtained by News 12 reveal more than 18 violations that could end up pulling its license to rescue.
For the last nine years CSRA Happy Tails has been known as a place that works to rescue helpless animals. Just this summer, President and Founder Barbara Gleitsmann was even named a Red Cross hero for her work.
But for the last decade, the rescue has been operating out of Gleitsmann's Appling home and yard. More than two months ago, after the Department of Agriculture received complaints, it came for an inspection. That inspection -- and the three since then -- pulled back the curtain on the operation exposing more than 18 violations.
"It's been very painful and torturous at times to see the animals in the condition that they're in," says Tiffany Vernier, who has been volunteering there and living on the property.
Vernier is one of a handful of former volunteers and board directors speaking out to the state.
"If you can rescue five animals and care for them with everything you have, it's better than giving 2 percent to 100 dogs and that's basically what's happening," Vernier said.
In July, inspectors found more than 71 animals on the property, stacked in crates and cages inside and outside.
"This is just a case of a person who has taken on way more than she can handle," Vernier said.
The violations include conditions on the property, including an abundance of "flies, spider webs, dust and dirt." Also cited are "exposed wires and rusty crates" with "exposed extension cords" that could be chewed on by animals.
"Everything was old and used and falling apart. I wanted to cry just seeing how the pens were set up, the dogs all barking," Vernier said. "They're not emaciated, but you could tell they were sickly -- they had no human attention."
Inspectors also reported "urine running from pen to pen is not sanitary" adding "pets can urinate, lick and bite through cages" passing diseases.
"There were even dogs there that have died of Parvo and they were all placed together in the same ... There's no isolation space," reported Vernier and the 2011 report with the Department of Agriculture.
On top of the rescue, Gleitsmann also advertises "Whiskers Resort," a boarding kennel for paying families. Reports show the rescue dogs and boarded dogs were kept together, and Gleitsmann even had a hard time identifying the animals.
"The people who are boarding their dogs, nine times out of 10, they are unaware that the foster dogs are placed -- these un=vetted dogs and un=socialized dogs a lot of the times -- are being placed next to their dog," Vernier said.
Last month, in the middle of this investigation even, Gleitsmann spoke to News 12 about helping to donate pet oxygen masks to local firefighters.
That day she showed off Jake and other rescue dogs. The Department of Agriculture says one of the biggest violations here deals with the lack of paperwork and vet records on the dozens of animals. The violation lists "one year of paperwork is required. Facility has incomplete incoming/outgoing paperwork," including rabies information.
The organization advertises adoptions in the community, sometimes without records.
In July, Gleitsmann was issued a stop order and told not to bring in any more animals. During re-inspections, the state found more animals on her property.
"Since the stop order was issued, there have been no less than 20 dogs that have come through that property," Vernier said.
Vernier just wants the animals to get proper care they need.
"It's the thrill of the rescue, let me go and take this poor, decrepit, sick-looking animal and bring it in and save its life, but then once it gets behind closed doors, it's pretty much forgotten about," Vernier said. "I really believe she's in denial of a lot of the issues and things that are going on. These are great dogs and they all deserve a chance."
Of course, this is an ongoing investigation and we're still looking into the Department of Public Health violations. We're also not sure when to expect the state to make a ruling here, but the Happy Tails' license could be revoked.
We spoke with Gleitsmann and her attorney. Gleitsmann says the inspection is "not a big deal and only about paperwork." She says she's working to fix some of the issues in the report and late Wednesday afternoon she and her attorney agreed to sit down with News 12 next week to talk about the progress.
The organization regularly adopts out animals at PETCO on Washington Road and Tractor Supply on Bobby Jones expressway.
Gleitsmann has not been the only one running Happy Tails. In the last year, we're told six board members have resigned from the organization, one as late as Tuesday when she found out about the News 12 investigation.

Ирвинг против Липштадт
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Case for the Defendants
|< Introduction
Response of Irving
5.35The "conditional response", as Irving put it, to this criticism is that due to an error on his part the footnote cites the wrong sources. He was, however, unable to identify the correct sources because, since he was banned from entering Germany in 1993, he no longer has access to the material documents.
5.36Irving was unwilling to accept that the figure which he quoted was wrong. He claims that it was not unreasonable to rely on Daluege, who was admittedly "a dodgy source" but was at the time the head of the German police system making it necessary to rely on him. Irving said that everyone would know that Daleuge was an active Nazi, so there was no reason to include in the text or in the footnote a cautionary note warning readers about placing reliance on Daluege as an objective and trustworthy source. Irving added that the two other sources cited by him do confirm the figure he quoted but, as already explained, Irving cannot gain access to them.

Late Old English (in sense 4 of the noun), from Old Norse, reinforced in late Middle English by Old French bande, of Germanic origin; related to bind.
A band in the sense 'a strip of something' comes from the same Germanic root as bind (Old English) and bond (Middle English). Bend is a variant found in bend sinister (early 17th century), a broad diagonal stripe from top right to bottom left of a shield, a supposed sign of bastardy. Bandage (late 16th century) and bandbox (mid 17th century), now a box for carrying hats, but originally for carrying neckbands, come from this word. In early use a band in the sense 'a group', usually consisted of armed men, robbers, or assassins. The first groups of musicians called a band (in the 17th century) were attached to regiments of the army. Banner (Middle English) is related. A bandwagon (mid 19th century) was a wagon used for carrying the band in a parade or procession. The word now occurs more often in phrases such as to jump on the bandwagon. This use developed in America in the late 19th century.

The street code has its own commandments. Thou shalt be down with thy set no matter what. If someone shoots one of yours, you retaliate. If you get arrested for a crime you didn't commit, you take the case and serve the time like a good soldier.
Darrell Armstead, 23, who goes by D-Real, grew up under that code. His dream was to become the ultimate gangster. At 14, he joined a gang in East Oakland. He encouraged his younger brother Dominic Carter to follow. At 18, D-Real says, he took the fall for an armed robbery and assault that he didn't commit. After serving six months in jail, he left the gang. But Dominic wouldn't make it out alive. On Dec. 11, 2010, he was shot six times at 91st Avenue and International Boulevard. He died at the scene.
The way stories like this often unfold, D-Real would get some of his crew together. They'd jump in a car and ride around until they found whoever killed his brother -- or someone close to him. Then, they'd start shooting. If some poor soul who had nothing to do with it got struck in the crossfire and killed, too bad. He shouldn't have been in the way.
But D-Real chose a different path.
Instead of seeking vengeance with a gun, he turned to dancing as an outlet for his anger and pain.
"You can't search for justice and happiness at the same time, you'll drive yourself crazy," he said. "So, instead, I search for happiness and pray justice comes."
A few months before his brother's killing, D-Real and three friends had made an impromptu R.I.P. dance video called "Dancing in the Rain," which became a YouTube sensation.
It was a tribute to D-Real's godbrother Richard Davis, 22, who had been killed by a drunken driver the previous night. The four, part of a group called Turf Feinz, started to dance in the rain at 90th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard where the crash occurred. They glided and flipped in spectacular fluid motions that stopped traffic. Yak Films recorded the event.
The video, which has garnered more than 5 million hits on YouTube, introduced the world to Turf dancing, an Oakland-born urban dance movement that stands for "taking up room on the floor."
The buzz caught the attention of documentary filmmaker Andrew Jenks. Jenks cast D-Real in the second season of his reality series "World of Jenks" on MTV. The first of 10 episodes airs at 11 p.m. March 4.
On the show, Jenks embeds himself into the lives of three young people who are trying to achieve their dreams in the face of extraordinary challenges. One young man has autism. Another woman is a cancer survivor. D-Real struggles to cope with the traumatic impact of gun violence on his life.
In one powerful scene, Jenks takes D-Real to see the crosses in front of St. Columba Catholic Church in North Oakland -- a memorial to homicide victims. D-Real has never been. He sees a cross in memory of his cousin who was fatally shot and is reminded of his younger brother Dominic. He blames himself for introducing his brother to the life that got him killed.
"I thought I heard him knocking at the door but he never came to the door so I just got mad," he said through sobs. "I'm never going to forgive myself for it -- never. "... Everyone says, 'Wait, you'll see, he's resting.' He ain't coming to my door and I waited all day yesterday."
D-Real is on mission to help stop the killing in Oakland.
He sees dance as a vehicle for helping frustrated and angry young people living in poor urban neighborhoods to channel their aggression into something creative and positive. He wants to work with community groups to promote "dance battles" among youths instead of gunbattles.
He has a 5-month-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. Having grown up without a father, he says he is determined to be "that man" in his children's lives. He now lives in Vallejo but spends much of his time in Oakland.
D-Real is just the sort of thoughtful and passionate young man who should be part of the public safety dialogue. He knows the mindset of the people who are doing the robbing and shooting. He is proof that it is possible to leave the destructive gang lifestyle behind. Most of the members of his gang supported his decision -- unlike in many instances where gang members threaten and even kill people who try to get out.
D-Real works as a tattoo artist. A lot of his business is "rest in peace" tributes. He has reminders of his own brother inked on his stomach, neck and leg. "People ask, 'Can you tat my son on me? Can you tat my cousin on me?" he said. "... I understand, but at the end of the day is that the way you want them to be remembered? Is that what you want to be encouraging everybody to do? Die so we can tat you on our skin?"
People from his generation are dying day in and day out, but D-Real insists it doesn't have to be that way.
"If y'all can open up your eyes now rather than later," he said, "we can save a whole lot of people."

Osteoporosis can be detected with bone density testing. First, the doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam. If the doctor suspects you may have osteoporosis or you are at risk for osteoporosis, you may have one or more of the following tests:
Bone mineral density
tests are painless, noninvasive tests that measure your bone mass. With a BMD test, your bone mass is measured and then compared to that of either (1) a healthy 30-year-old adult (T score), or (2) the expected bone mass of someone your age (Z score). Because low BMD is common among older adults, comparison to peers your age can be misleading. The results of a BMD test will indicate whether you have normal bone density, low bone density (osteopenia), or full-blown osteoporosis.
These test results, coupled with assessment of your risk factors for osteoporosis, will help you and your doctor decide which prevention or treatment options are right for you.
Types of BMD tests include:
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
—a type of x-ray that measures bone density of the spine, hip, or total body (central DXA). This test can also be used to measure bone density at peripheral sites—wrist, heel, or finger (peripheral DXA).
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS)
—a test that uses sound waves to measure bone density in the heel, shinbone, and kneecap
Quantitative computed tomography (QCT)
—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to measure bone density of the spine (central QCT). This test can also be used to measure bone density at the wrist (peripheral QCT).
Blood and urine tests
—These tests check calcium levels and other substances created when bone is formed or broken down. These are called biochemical markers of bone turnover. Results indicate whether the process of bone breakdown in your body is occurring at a normal or at an excess rate.
Bone biopsy
—done in certain cases to check for other causes of bone disease
Having a bone density test.

By administrative fiat, the California Public Employees' Retirement System has undermined a key anti-spiking provision of the new state pension law that Gov. Jerry Brown signed last summer.
The agency's absurd interpretation of the new law will fatten pensions for new public employees, drive up government costs and erode untold billions of dollars of savings that the governor and CalPERS previously claimed the new law would produce.
The key provision is pretty simple: New employees will receive pensions based only on their "normal monthly rate of pay or base pay."
But CalPERS, an agency run by a labor-dominated board, quietly issued notice between Christmas and New Year's Day that it intends to interpret that language broadly, effectively gutting a provision that seemed designed to rationally reduce the size and cost of future public employee pensions.
If new workers receive one of nearly 100 different pay premiums for everything from marksmanship and longevity to being a notary or working on a library reference desk, CalPERS has decided, the extra compensation will be counted as income when their pensions are calculated.
CalPERS is the largest public employee pension system in the state and the nation. So its interpretation of the new law is likely to guide other California retirement programs. Some county-level pension systems are already looking at a similarly generous interpretation -- even though it stands the language of the new law on its head.
CalPERS is calling its Dec. 27 notice an "interim determination" while the retirement system seeks input from stakeholders. But, absent a protest from the governor or key legislators, or a lawsuit, it seems unlikely that CalPERS will reverse course.
To understand the issue, keep in mind that public employee pensions are calculated using a formula that takes into account age at retirement, years on the job and final compensation. At stake is what is included in that compensation.
The new law did not change the types of pay included for most employees hired before this year. For workers covered by CalPERS, the law will continue to allow them to count two types of income:
First, there is "payrate," defined as "the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay." Second, there is "special compensation," defined as payments for "special skills, knowledge, abilities, work assignment, workdays or hours, or other work conditions."
However, the pension bill changes the rules for new employees, hired starting Jan. 1. For them, only the first type of income will count. The law's definition of compensation that can be used in new employees' pension calculations is exactly the same wording used in the law to define "payrate" for workers hired before Jan. 1. For new employees, the new law makes no mention of the second type of income, "special compensation."
But CalPERS, which operates in a parallel universe, has decided that the Legislature and governor meant to include special compensation, even if they didn't say so in the bill. It reasons that because the law for new employees mentions some other types of income that will be excluded from the calculation, all other income should be counted.
So pay premiums that the law considers "special compensation" for employees hired before Jan. 1 will now be redefined by Cal-PERS to be part of the basic "payrate" for new workers. It seems that any pay premium provided on a regular and recurring basis will be counted as income for new employees' pension calculations. Essentially, calculations for new employees will be treated the same as for current workers.
It's bad enough that state and local governments pay extra for many of these items: Compensation for staying physically fit. Pay premiums for confidential work or an "audio visual" assignment. Police paid extra to be DUI traffic officers, or completing Peace Officer Standard Training courses.
Now CalPERS wants to keep counting that premium pay in its calculations, boosting workers' pensions for their entire retirement.
It's bad policy, and it's not a rational reading of the new law.

10 Ways to Lose 5 Pounds by This Weekend
Sure, a months-long healthy diet is the real key to lasting weight loss. But you can lose weight quickly and safely. Here's how
Two slimming moves we like: Hold a plank, with your back straight and tummy pulled in, and sustain the position for 15 seconds if you're a beginner, 30 seconds if you're intermediate, and one minute if you're advanced. Another option is to lie on your back, draw your knees into your chest -- keeping your back flat on the floor -- and squeeze your knees and the insides of your feet touching. Now twist your hips back and forth, from side to side, while keeping your knees and feet squeezed together. Beginners can do 10 to 20 reps; intermediates: 25 to 50; advanced: 50-plus. In both, the key is to shorten your contractions and isolate your lower abs as much as possible.

I never though breathing could help in weight loss. The fact that you need adequate oxygen to burn fat makes a lot of sense

Well these were some interesting tips. I really like the breathing technique :p

Fantastic! The more often you eat (smaller portions and healthy foods), the more you do rev up your metabolism. Not enough can be said about movement. I started at a new school (a huge building) a few years ago and had to run the stairs to make sure I made it to classes on time. I started to lose weight and couldn't stop. Water, water, water--absolutely necessary to fill you up, help you lose weight, and keep your skin plumped and glowing!

OAKLAND -- Andre Iguodala's sly expression summed up everything fun and frisky about the Warriors' full-throttle mood these days.
Training camp doesn't start for more than a week. This is supposed to be an NBA quiet time.
And still, Iguodala knew exactly what I was getting at Wednesday when I asked him about the matchup between himself and Harrison Barnes during the team's unofficial workouts the past few weeks.
"To me, it's not a big deal," Iguodala said of a report by NBA writer Peter Vecsey that Barnes had been "wearing out" Iguodala and other Warriors veterans.
"I mean, OK, (say that) he's killed me every day. I don't care. That's not the case, but. ..."
Then Iguodala's voice trailed off, he smiled, and he shrugged in a way that seemed to suggest that he couldn't fully explain what was going on behind closed doors.
Which is a good thing, I presume, for the Warriors' upward trend.
You don't want bland workouts in September if you're aiming to play until June.
If you put together as much talent as the Warriors have for the 2013-14 season, you want edginess and high-energy clashes, and it should all coalesce into team-wide chemistry by the end of October.
That was not precisely the case, say, when the Warriors had Corey Maggette and Vladimir Radmanovic meandering around the practice floor.
Clearly, the current five-on-five games at the Warriors facility, involving all of the team's key players, have been competitive.
And it's not hard to imagine that Barnes, the youngster who may be losing his starting job, and Iguodala, the new Warriors acquisition with the big reputation, would be squaring off repeatedly and intensely.
They both play small forward. They're both incredibly athletic, proud, and both want the team to get better and better.
"It's been fun -- we're all pushing each other," Iguodala said.
"My first day I think I went up against Klay (Thompson), and I had to chase him around. That was a good workout. That was tough.
"So we're looking good. Steph (Curry) had one day where he just couldn't miss. And (Andrew) Bogut's probably been the most dominant, because nobody's really been able to guard him.
"Everybody's had really good days. Me, myself, I've got a different mindset than trying to prove something, 'I'm going to stop this guy today,' or 'I'm going to do this.' "
So is Barnes -- who had such a terrific playoff series last season against Iguodala's Nuggets -- maybe coming into these workouts with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder?
"Uhh, I'm not sure," Iguodala said. "My focus has really been: What type of team do we have? How can I get the most of my game and the most out of my teammates' games?
"If anybody's killed me, I'd say ... Evan Turner's killed me (back when they were 76ers teammates), I think it was coming into his second year.
"He had something to prove because he didn't have a good rookie year. And he started that year."
Barnes and all of the Warriors players have something to prove this season: That they can not only repeat last season's trip to the second round of the postseason, but that they can expand on it.
And Iguodala is naturally the guy who is supposed to trigger that improvement.
The way to push it all forward is if Barnes and others go as hard as possible in these workouts, and if Iguodala pushes it, too.
Of course, Iguodala is a different player from Barnes -- they're versatile in different ways.
And there's a strong chance that they could find themselves on the floor together for long periods this season, with Barnes shifting over to the power-forward spot or with Iguodala playing one of the two guard positions.
In fact, Iguodala said he is already focusing on facilitating the offense, figuring out where the Warriors' top scorers want the ball and when they want it.
By the way, Iguodala, Thompson and Barnes all playing together -- with Bogut defending the paint -- would be the Warriors' most dangerous defensive unit, no question.
They're going at each other now to sharpen themselves for the nights when they'll be up against Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Tony Parker and all the other top players.
It's how an up-and-coming team keeps going up, keeps itself on edge, and storms into training camp at the highest speed possible.

The Warriors completed an agreement for Steve Kerr to become their new head coach, the team announced Monday.
Kerr, who signed a five-year contract that including incentives could be worth about $25 million, will be introduced at a news conference Tuesday in Oakland.
"We are confident that he will be an extremely good fit for our team and our organization as we venture into the future," general manager Bob Myers said in a statement. "The fact that he played for several of the greatest coaches in the history of the game -- including Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich -- will serve him well, as will the many nuances that he learned from performing on the brightest stage during his incredibly successful, championship-filled career."
Kerr, 48, comes to Golden State without any coaching experience and straight out of the broadcast booth. He is scheduled to continue working as a TNT analyst and cover each Western Conference finals game before starting full time with the Warriors.
The Warriors reached an agreement in principle with Kerr on Wednesday, eight days after firing Mark Jackson, who led the team to back-to-back playoff appearances and was popular with its players.
Since Stephen Curry has shown support for the Warriors' hiring Kerr, other teammates have done the same.
Harrison Barnes posted on Facebook that he was "looking forward to working with Steve," and also Friday, Draymond Green expressed similar sentiments on CBS Sports Radio.
"A team that really has some really good offensive pieces, I think he could really bring something to the table here," Green said. "Just bringing a championship pedigree, who doesn't want to listen to a champion?
"So I don't think it's going to take much (to earn respect)."
The Warriors persuaded Kerr to coach on the West Coast after he strongly considered accepting the New York Knicks' coaching position to work with former mentor Jackson.
After a team of Warriors executives flew to Oklahoma City last week to meet with Kerr, a San Diego resident, he decided to take the job that allowed him to stay close to family and work with players who have grown accustomed to winning.
"I'm really excited about the unique opportunity to coach a very talented team and work for this committed management group," Kerr said in a statement. "In my estimation, the Warriors, from top to bottom, have become one of the marquee organizations in the NBA in recent years. I'm looking forward to becoming part of that environment and building upon the success of the last two seasons."
"Two more weeks, I should be good to get back out there," Bogut told an Australian television show.

EAST VAIL - Is it time for districts yet?
The Vail Mountain School volleyball team looks pretty ready to take on the world after downing cross-county rival Vail Christian, 25-18, 25-15, 25-13, Tuesday night in East Vail. That is seven wins in a row for VMS.
"We're at a point where we're making small adjustments," VMS coach Mike Garvey said. "The girls are learning something new from every practice, and we're seeing it in the games. I'm really pleased with the way they were working."
"Obviously, it feels great to win, especially against Vail Christian," the Gore Rangers' Stephanie Kohlhofer said. "We've been working real hard, and it's finally paid off. This is the first year."
Always trust a player in any rivalry to know who's won what. "The first year," of which Kohlhofer speaks, is VMS' first season sweep of the Saints since 2008, when the two teams only played one match.
"Vail Mountain School is tremendous. They have some tremendous hitters," Saints coach Cathy Alexander said. "Teams will cycle. Things go up and down. I have a lot of youth and a lot of age (not commensurate with playing experience). I'm not disappointed with the girls' effort whatsoever. They tried all the way through the last game. It's not lack of effort. Sometimes, we don't make the right decisions with the ball."
VMS (10-3 overall and 6-2 in the 2A Slope) took advantage of Vail Christian's mistakes, as good teams do, and put the ball down forcefully with its own attack.
"It feels great. We have a really good flow as a team," VMS' Lizzy Pancratz said. "Then, we get going."
VMS has just two league games left. The Gore Rangers are off this weekend and then are at West Grand on Thursday and home for Hayden on Friday. The next day, VMS is at a tournament at Summit County where the 2A Gore Rangers will tangle with the host 4A Tigers, Eagle Valley and Wheat Ridge.
Consider it a dress rehearsal for the district tournament.
"We consider ourselves a strong team," Garvey said. "We didn't play well in those matches against Paonia and Meeker, but the girls know that. They know they have another level, and they're ready to show that."
In the meantime, all is not lost for Vail Christian (7-9, 2-5). Remember, the Saints go down to Class 1A for the playoffs with Plateau Valley and Norwood. The Saints have already beaten the former and face the latter in their league match Oct. 19.
Vail Christian is at West Grand on Friday.

About Us > Newsroom > On Stage and Off, Cocktails & Karaoke Guests Raise Nearly $50,000
More than 200 Denver professionals gathered at Casselman's Bar and Venue on Nov. 3 for the 11th annual Cocktails & Karaoke benefiting Kunsberg School for chronically ill children at National Jewish Health. Funds totaling nearly $50,000 raised from Cocktails & Karaoke will go to medical supplies, uniforms and other items for the 90 kindergarten through eighth-grade students at the free school.
Cocktails & Karaoke sponsors were the Parks Family, GE Johnson Construction Company, Mortenson Construction, MBH Enterprises, Riley Carlock and Applewhite, Ellen Stewart and Donald Vancil, and Steele Street Bank.
The audience enjoyed the performances of their friends singing in front of a live band, but the real joy came from the live auction as participants bid to help this worthy cause. Co-chairs Hadley Cox, vice president at CBRE Group Inc., and Andrew Duke, associate vice president at ANB Bank, joined the evening's emcee, Heidi McGuire of 321 Media Productions, in urging the guests to bid on the auction and to donate directly.
Committee members for the 2012 Cocktails & Karaoke were Seth Benson, Marc Cohen, Zach Frisch, Barb Gallagher, Dana Pluss Parks, Merc Pittinos, Mary Claire Pittinos, Maximillian Potter, Ashleigh Rothhammer, Taylor Schierburg, Ellen Stewart and Donald Vancil.
The Kunsberg School mission is to provide a safe, friendly and healthy school environment where students succeed academically, medically and socially. Many students are minorities, and most families are at or below poverty level. Typically, they have fallen behind their peers in school because of illnesses including severe asthma and/or allergies, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other respiratory and related disorders. Kunsberg students receive care and learn to manage their illnesses from three nurses and National Jewish Health pediatricians. They eat nutritious meals, exercise daily, and practice positive social interaction. The students learn in small classes from teachers with advanced degrees using the latest educational technology tools; they demonstrate their knowledge by showing steady improvements on the CSAP test and outpacing their peers in similar schools. Upon graduation, Kunsberg students have the skills to lead healthy, productive, meaningful and active lives.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Since 1998, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish Health the number one respiratory hospital in the nation.

SANTA CLARA -- Tank Carradine's right knee finally looks and feels at full strength, which is welcome news after a 49ers rookie season spent in rehabilitation.
"You see the flashes and the strength and the ability," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday. "(We) kind of have to pull him back because we're not in live situations here in practice. But (we're) very excited for where he's at right now."
It's also exciting news for a 49ers defensive line that's practicing this minicamp without Justin Smith while he rehabilitates an unknown injury.
The Carradine-Smith connection doesn't stop there. Nor does it merely trace to last year's draft when the 49ers drafted Carradine in the second round as Smith's potential successor.
Carradine was 11 when he would go to Cincinnati's community center and watch Smith's rookie practices with the Bengals.
"He stood out to me," Carradine recalled Wednesday between minicamp practices. "He was a first-round draft pick, and I can't remember the other defensive end they had, but I remember Justin because he's a loud one."
Now entering his 14th season, Smith isn't medically cleared to practice with the team because he's "working through something" that should be OK by training camp, Harbaugh said.
A year ago, it was Carradine who couldn't participate on the field, stunting his development and forcing him to play catch-up this offseason.
A torn anterior cruciate ligament prematurely ended Carradine's Florida State career, and while it also shelved him throughout 2013, a follow-up procedure in February removed scar tissue.
"Ever since that I feel like myself," Carradine said. "I was worried last year because I didn't feel like myself. My knee was strong but I didn't feel like myself. I didn't know if I'd ever be the same again."
He wasn't the only one, and that's why he slipped in the draft to the 49ers with the 40th overall pick.
"This is his first shot," defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said of Carradine, whom he compared to a rookie in terms of on-field experience. "Last year, I never felt he was there. It came to a point this offseason he got better, got the knee cleaned up and turned the corner."
Carradine indeed showed well in Wednesday's practice. On one play, he blew past right tackle Carter Bykowski to pressure Blaine Gabbert on a play whistled dead. Later, however, Carradine got pushed back well off the line by left tackle Joe Staley on a run play.
Guard Mike Iupati likes what he's seen in practice against Carradine, noting: "He'll be a good player, with his quickness and use of hands. He's explosive and shifty."
Carradine said last season allowed him to learn the 49ers' scheme and techniques. Of course, it also offered him the chance to study under his childhood idol, Smith.
"He's a big guy, a physical guy and plays every down like it's his last down," Carradine said. "You never know when it'll be your last play. You could be having an amazing season then all of a sudden there's a knee injury."
Carradine knows that first hand. His knee injury came Nov. 25, 2012 in a loss to rival Florida.
"To answer the three, four, five follow-up questions, it gets to be badgering, it gets old," Harbaugh said. "I covered it thoroughly (Tuesday), and I don't feel there's anything more to say about it."

Police say thieves broke into a Fargo business over the weekend and stole $50,000 worth of copper wire.
The theft at Fargo Electric Construction was reported at 7 a.m. Monday.
Police say the suspects forced their way into the building, moved the company's trucks out of the way, and used the company's skid steers to load the wire.
Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel tells the Forum newspaper (http://bit.ly/XWJHj1) it appears the thieves spent a "significant amount of time inside the business."
No arrests have been made. Vettel says the investigation is ongoing.

Security and the Mobile Workforce
By tobyehatch-Oracle on Nov 08, 2013
Now that many organizations are moving to the BYOD philosophy (bring your own devices), security for phones and tablets accessing company sensitive information is of paramount importance. I had the pleasure to interview Brian MacDonald, Principal Product Manager for Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Mobile Products, about this subject, and he shared some wonderful insight about how the Oracle Mobile Security Tool Kit is addressing mobile security and doing some pretty cool things.
With the rapid proliferation of phones and tablets, there is a perception that mobile devices are a security threat to corporate IT, that mobile operating systems are not secure, and that there are simply too many ways to inadvertently provide access to critical analytic data outside the firewall. Every day, I see employees working on mobile devices at the airport, while waiting for their airplanes, and using public WIFI connections at coffee houses and in restaurants. These methods are not typically secure ways to access confidential company data. I asked Brian to explain why.
"The native controls for mobile devices and applications are indeed insufficiently secure for corporate deployments of Business Intelligence and most certainly for businesses where data is extremely critical - such as financial services or defense - although it really applies across the board. The traditional approach for accessing data from outside a firewall is using a VPN connection which is not a viable solution for mobile. The problem is that once you open up a VPN connection on your phone or tablet, you are creating an opening for the whole device, for all the software and installed applications. Often the VPN connection by itself provides insufficient encryption – if any – which means that data can be potentially intercepted."
For this reason, most organizations that deploy Business Intelligence data via mobile devices will only do so with some additional level of control. So, how has the industry responded? What are companies doing to address this very real threat? Brian explained that "Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) software vendors have rapidly created solutions for mobile devices that provide a vast array of services for controlling, managing and establishing enterprise mobile usage policies. On the device front, vendors now support full levels of encryption behind the firewall, encrypted local data storage, credential management such as federated single-sign-on as well as remote wipe, geo-fencing and other risk reducing features (should a device be lost or stolen). More importantly, these software vendors have created methods for providing these capabilities on a per application basis, allowing for complete isolation of the application from the mobile operating system.
Finally, there are tools which allow the applications themselves to be distributed through enterprise application stores allowing IT organizations to manage who has access to the apps, when updates to the applications will happen, and revoke access after an employee leaves. So even though an employee may be using a personal device, access to company data can be controlled while on or near the company premises.
So do the Oracle BI mobile products integrate with the MDM and MAM vendors? Brian explained that our customers use a wide variety of mobile security vendors and may even have more than one in-house. Therefore, Oracle is ensuring that users have a choice and a mechanism for linking together Oracle's BI offering with their chosen vendor's secure technology.
The Oracle BI Mobile Security Toolkit, which is a version of the Oracle BI Mobile HD application, delivered through the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) in its component parts, helps Oracle users to build their own version of the Mobile HD application, sign it with their own enterprise development certificates, link with their security vendor of choice, then deploy the combined application through whichever means they feel most appropriate, including enterprise application stores.
Brian further explained that Oracle currently supports most of the major mobile security vendors, has close relationships with each, and maintains strong partnerships enabling both Oracle and the vendors to test, update and release a cooperating solution in lock-step. Oracle also ensures that as new versions of the Oracle HD application are made available on the Apple iTunes store, the same version is also immediately made available through the Security Toolkit on OTN.
Rest assured that as our workforce continues down the mobile path, company sensitive information can be secured.

Hikers reunite with rescuer 50 years later
Addison and Wright told the story of that March night 50 years ago as though reliving it, telling of approaching the summit dome in the snow and driving winds. Addison knew they only had one hope: They needed to spend the night inside the Mount Washington Observatory at the summit.

"A hundred years ago, in this country, we were more comfortable with these discussions [of past lives, touching the spiritual world, collective unconsciousl] than we are today. I think part of that is that we have gotten addicted to the same serum that I'm taking, which is the belief that the answers are always going to be right there in front of us.

For More Information:Gregg WalkerPropane Education & Research email@example.com
WASHINGTON (October 12, 2012) — The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), meeting last week in Colorado Springs, Colo., approved a $36 million 2013 budget that is designed to allow the Council to deliver best-in-class propane safety and training programs while developing and commercializing new end-use products that run on clean, affordable, domestic propane.
Of the budget for project and program activities, 53 percent will be devoted to research and development, 29 percent to training, and 18 percent to safety efforts.
Highlights of the 2013 Budget
Revenue $ 33,232,000Investment $ 350,000Carry-forward funds $ 1,479,000De-obligations $ 1,000,000Expenditures State rebates $ 6,646,400 Research and development $ 10,856,000 Training $ 3,581,000 Safety $ 5,865,000 Administrative $ 2,646,000 Program labor $ 3,406,000 Technology support $ 598,000 Reserve $ 1,516,600 Other expenses $ 946,000 "This is a realistic budget for a challenging market as we work in 2013 to build adoption of propane fueled products," PERC President and CEO Roy Willis said. "Propane is a great fuel for today's economy, offering a low-cost, highly efficient alternative fuel for fleets, commercial landscapers, and the residential and commercial building sectors."
The opportunity for sales growth is strong in propane autogas as commercial customers and governments replace fleet vehicles that run on gasoline and diesel. Other promising markets include commercial mowing, where landscape contractors expect to expand their propane mower fleet substantially in the next few years, and irrigation, where farmers find that switching from diesel to propane reduces their operating costs and cuts their carbon emissions.
In other business:
• Council Chairman Joe Armentano, Paraco Gas (Rye Brook, N.Y.), thanked the PERC Strategic Planning Task Force for developing a draft of the PERC 2013-2015 Strategic Plan. The Council will take action on the draft plan at its December meeting, after propane industry members have an opportunity to review it and offer comments.
• The Council approved the appointment of Scott Brockelmeyer, Ferrellgas (Kansas City, Mo.), as the new chairman of the Market Outreach and Training Working Group, replacing Darin Hunhoff, CHS (Inver Grove, Minn.), who stepped down. The other two working groups that make up the PERC Advisory Committee are Research and Technology Development and Safety and Training.
• Armentano announced that he had appointed the following members to the PERC Advisory Committee: James Van Uden, R.H. Foster Energy (Hampden, Maine), David Hedrick, AmeriGas Propane (Lake Orion, Mich.), and Christopher Willis, Growmark FS (Albion, N.Y.).
• Mike Sloan, an economist with ICF International, offered an overview of the outlook for propane supply and demand in the next three years.
The Council approved the following funding requests:
Docket 16723 — Change Order for the 8.0L Engine for the Medium‐Duty Truck & Bus, $356,000Docket 17509 — 2013‐2014 Kawasaki Dealer Outreach and Training, $243,500Docket 18160 — Performance, Durability Validation of Propane-Diesel Dual-Fuel Retrofit, $80,000 Docket 18167 — Propane Autogas Fuel System Technical Training Program, $250,000Docket 18202 — Customer Owned Tank Safety & Maintenance Materials, $14,650Docket 18204 — Autogas Dispenser Training Module, $122,300Docket 18254 — Phase 1 CETP Update, Books 5.1, 5.2, and 8.0, $246,860
The Council will next meet December 5 and 6 in Naples, Fla.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Union College guard Tyler Wagner (Corbin, Ky.) led all Bulldogs scorers with 17 points, as UC held off a late charge by Reinhardt (Ga.) to post an 82-80 Appalachian Athletic Conference men's basketball victory on Tuesday night at Robsion Arena.
With the win, Union moved to 10-12 overall, 4-7 in the AAC, while Reinhardt fell to 8-12 with the loss, 5-6 in the AAC.
In the first half, Union started on a tear, opening an early 10-2 lead after Tarik Smith drained a three at the 14 minute mark. Reinhardt quickly came back, however, and took their first lead of the night with 11 minutes to go at 14-13. The game remained close over the next couple of minutes, as UC held a slim lead throughout.
With 4:22 left, UC held a 27-25 lead. The Bulldogs proceeded to end the half on a strong note, going 8-0 spurt to open a 35-25 lead with 1:49 left. Reinhardt scored the final four points of the half, but UC still held a 35-29 lead at the break.
In the second half, Union went on a huge run over the first nine minutes to open up a big lead. The Bulldogs raced out to a 21-10 run to start the period, capped off by a Wagner three that gave UC their biggest lead of the night at 56-39 with 11:42 to go in regulation. Over the next couple of minutes, UC continued to hold the big lead, and led by 16 (61-45) with 8:44 left after another Wagner three.
It looked as though Union had the game wrapped up with 3:17 left, holding a 10 point lead (76-66) after a Josh Smith (Corbin, Ky.) jumper. But, Reinhardt refused to go away quietly, as the Eagles went on a 11-2 run over the next two and a half minutes to cut the once big UC lead down to a single point (78-77) with 39 second left.
After UC successfully got the ball in bounds, James Strange (Pineville, Ky.) was fouled, and made two huge free throws to extend the lead out to 80-77. On Reinhardt's next trip down the floor, the Eagles turned it over, but Strange missed a lay-up in transition with 27 seconds left, giving the ball back to Reinhardt.
Down three and with 14 seconds left, Reinhardt's Quntion Wood shot from beyond the arc, but missed on the game-tying attempt. Josh Smith pulled down the defensive rebound, and gave the ball up to Kyle Bush (Ashland, Ky.), who was fouled. Bush made one of two free throws to make it 81-77 with nine seconds left, but Reinhardt raced down the floor and made a three with three seconds remaining to cut the lead down to a point at 81-80.
On the in-bound, UC's Tarik Smith was fouled, and went to the foul line to shoot two free throws. Smith made one of two, giving UC a two-point lead. Reinhardt had one last chance with a second remaining, but a desperation three from almost half-court wend wide, and the Bulldogs hung on for the hard fought AAC win.
Overall, Wagner led four double digits scorers on the night for UC with his 17 point effort. Meanwhile, Tarik Smith came off the bench and scored 15 points, Archie Adams (Aiken, S.C.) had 12 points, and Strange and Josh Smith each chipped in with 11 points (Smith notched five assists on the night, as well).
Wood led Reinhardt in a losing effort, scoring a game-high 25 points.
The Union men's basketball team returns to action on Thursday, traveling to Montreat (N.C.) for another AAC tilt. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.

George Clooney's fiancee's law firm has pretty much confirmed the rumors that nearly exploded the Internet last weekend (or would have, if not for Donald Sterling) that he's engaged to Amal Alamuddin
Alamuddin's company released a statement Monday congratulating the happy couple, according to TMZ.
"The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr George Clooney on their engagement to be married."
So much for attorney-client privilege.
Alamuddin is an international lawyer who has represented some big names, including Julian Assange.
She might already be sending out resumes.
Clooney -- who is notoriously private and has seemingly been adverse to longtime romantic commitments -- and Alamuddin dined at Nobu on Thursday in Malibu, where she was sporting what onlookers said was a big ring. On her finger and everything.
So the rumors started and the "insiders" started talking and the snowball started rolling.

Iowa sheriff drops charges over destroyed spork
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:09 a.m.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A sheriff says a rowdy inmate caught on tape destroying a spork will not face criminal charges after all.
Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said Tuesday that a criminal mischief charge against Tera Harris has been dismissed, one day after her case was publicized by a newspaper.
Pulkrabek said Harris was being disruptive at the jail when she was given a food tray after normal feeding times. He says she started throwing food around her cell block and -- quote -- "intentionally broke a spork, which was observed and captured on video."
He says this wasn't your ordinary plastic spork, but a semi-indestructible one designed for institutions to be washed and reused.
Pulkrabek says Harris is being held on other charges, and she'll be punished internally for the spork incident.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee Town Council member Richard Anderson earned 66 percent of the votes at the end of the June 5 primary tally Tuesday night and will be the next 5th district seat holder on the Nevada County Board of Supervisors next year, according to unofficial elections results posted on the county's website.
Anderson bested Truckee resident Michael Rogers in the two-man race, according to the results, earning 1,359 votes to Rogers' 690. Only ten write-in ballots were cast. Rogers still managed a third of the votes despite declaring in April he had withdrawn from the race.
Elsewhere in Nevada County of local interest, incumbent Judge Tom Anderson will retain his Nevada County Superior Court seat; according to the results, Anderson received 11,584 votes (61.13 percent), enough to beat out George Smyrnos' 7,300 votes (38.52 percent).
Also, Republican incumbent Ted Gaines got the most votes to retain his State Senate District 1 seat; he will square off against Julie Griffith-Flatter, a Democrat, in a November run-off.
After the Nevada County tally Tuesday night, Gaines received 8,899 votes (47.45 percent), while Griffith-Flatter got 7,363 votes (39.26 percent). In Placer County, Gaines received 20,005 votes (52.6 percent), while Griffith-Flatter got 11,851 (31.16 percent).
In all, Gaines received 48.2 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results.

Say hello to a warmer winter. Create these no-sew hats with fleece and our printable template.
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Cut the fleece into a rectangle that measures about 13 inches high by the width of your child's head plus 1 inch.
Right sides together, fold the fleece in half, aligning the two 13-inch edges. Glue along the inside of these edges, stopping about 4 inches from one end. Dry thoroughly.
Just below the glue area, snip in (perpendicular to the seam) about 1/2 inch deep.
Turn the hat right side out. Overlap the two unglued edges. Glue in place. Let dry.
Roll up the hat from the bottom (about three times) to create a rolled cuff.
Print and cut out the hat template of your kid's favorite character.
Trace the face pieces and cut them from the felt. For tiny shapes, if it's easier for you, draw them onto the hat later with the fine-tip markers or fabric paints.
When the hat is dry, place the seam at the back and glue the character face pieces onto the area above the rolled cuff.
Cut a short, narrow strip from the fleece. Gather the top of the hat like a ponytail, and use the strip to tie it tight. Knot. Snip ends close to the knot.
Fringe the top of the hat above the tie.

To the editor: Eric Holder was found guilty of criminal and civil contempt of Congress in June 2012 for failure to provide documents related to Operation Fast & Furious, and 2 U.S. Code 192 states that this offense is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment in a jail for not less than one month nor more than 12 months.
As Holders own Justice Department would have to produce the indictment for prosecution, no charges were filed. Holder is now suspect in signing off on a subpoena for secretly seizing a Fox News reporters emails. He is alleged to have previously claimed no knowledge of this before Congress. The solution the Holder Justice Department should investigate Holder.
Just recently, the all-powerful Internal Revenue Service blew off a congressional deadline for information related to targeting conservative groups seeking tax exemptions. When asked by Congress why he visited the White House, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman replied in a totally contemptuous manner, For the Easter Egg Roll with my kids.
A government that is unaccountable for its actions is very dangerous. One of the few means of accountability left is the ballot box. I just hope the IRS stays out of the voting process this election!

Frustrating search
To the editor: My wife and I are excited about moving to Hendersonville. With the areas natural beauty, the citys great downtown and the kind people we have met, its clearly a special place.
But after six months of looking, we cant find a house thats right for us and our two golden retrievers.
In many homes near Hendersonville, the main floor is a full story above the backyard. We would have to go up and down a flight of stairs every time we take them out back. This will be an increasingly serious problem as they age and have trouble with stairs.
Adding to our frustration are the online real estate listings that often omit photos showing the back of the house and size of the backyard. That makes it hard for our agents to know if it is a house they should check. They have gone to homes all over the county when another photo or two would have saved them the trip.
We currently have a large, fenced backyard, which the dogs love, and well seek permission to build a 4-foot fence at the new house. Well keep looking until we find the right place for our entire family.

Extreme damage
To the editor: You can now add the case of Nidal Hasan to the list of scandals that surround our president. He is the Muslim major who slaughtered 13 soldiers and wounded several more while screaming Allah akbar.
The major has been residing in a jail cell for the past 3½ years drawing full pay. Meanwhile, because the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge it as an act of terrorism but insists that it was merely workplace violence, the survivors are denied purple hearts or supplemental pay for their injuries.
It is plain that the mainstream liberal media want the first minority president to succeed, as I also did. But common sense has now shown that he is doing extreme damage to our country.
We would not support a majority president doing these things, so what makes it imperative that we support a minority?
