For Brookfield Bulldogs football team captain Brent Sparks, his days of playing at Burlington Field are behind him. Sparks was an all-everything for the Dogs in his tenure at BHS, terrorizing opposing offenses and earning multiple post-season honors. But it would be a simple letter with an opportunity that would energize Sparks once again.
"I got a letter from school that was sent there for me," explained Sparks. "I opened it up and read it and it said Down Under Sports. It looked interesting."
This letter was an invitation to Sparks to take part in the 25th Annual Down Under Bowl in Australia this summer. Sparks was one of only five athletes in Missouri offered this opportunity to showcase his skills on an international stage.
"I am excited, stoked actually," admitted Sparks. "I am ready to go play for my country and for this little town."
From a press release from Down Under Sports: "Down Under Sports believes that sport is the international language common to all countries and people around the world and that it can help remove cultural and international barriers. Therefore, the mission of Down Under Sports is to promote the growth, development and self-esteem of the individual athlete through sport; to raise the level of awareness and competition to the benefit of both the host country and the participating athlete; to forge friendships that bridge the gap of both distance and time, through mutual competition that promotes health and sportsmanship."
The Down Under Bowl will take place this summer, and Sparks is excited to take this opportunity to hit the gridiron before heading to college to pursue a future Master's Degree in Psychology. Sparks hopes to play football and attend Missouri Western in St. Joseph.
"I have been playing since fourth grade," said Sparks. "Football has changed my life. I had a good coach who was like a father to me in PeeWee football, Jack Noble. My favorite part of High School football was just hitting somebody, its fun."
Sparks' mother, Stacey Bragg, is understandably very proud of her son. "I am very proud of Brent," said Bragg. "I am teaching summer school so that I can accompany him on this trip. I was nervous to send him alone, college next year will be hard enough. There is also a benefit for making a sponsorship and filling out the letter. Down Under Sports is giving away trips to Australia, Hawaii and for a cruise."

Tribe's military service documentary earns Emmy nomination
PALA A documentary that started as a project to record a North County tribe's history of military service has been nominated for an Emmy award.
The documentary, called "Defending the Homeland: Native Americans in the United States Armed Forces," was created by the Pala Band of Mission Indians. It features interviews with tribal members who served in the military and their families.
"This documentary was dedicated to the many Pala tribal members who made the ultimate sacrifice in service and we are proud it has been nominated for this very distinguished award," said Robert Smith, chairman of the Pala tribe.
The film was nominated for an Emmy in the Military, Special Program category by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Pacific Southwest Chapter, which includes much of Southern California and southern Nevada.
Kilma Lattin, 34, a member of the Pala band and a former Army helicopter pilot, said he approached his tribe's leadership in 2010 about funding a project to record tribal elders' military stories.
"I told them we needed to start getting our World War II veterans on film and documenting their service," Lattin said last week.
After recording some initial interviews, Lattin said, he wanted to go even deeper, conduct more interviews and hire a professional to put it all in documentary form.
The tribe agreed and hired Craig Harris, a longtime film and television producer, to serve as the documentary's executive producer.
Harris said he was happy to be asked to participate in the documentary and described it as "one of the better experiences" of his career.
"I'm really pleased (with the nomination) because the project held such a special place in my heart," Harris said.
Among those interviewed in the film are tribal members who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lattin, who is also featured in the film, said he enlisted in the Army shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He was medically discharged in 2006 as a lieutenant, Lattin said.
The film was released in November 2012 and has aired in several PBS stations. It was screened in the Los Angeles Skins Fest, a Native American Film Festival last year.
Lattin said he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that the documentary had been nominated. He added that he hopes the documentary helps increase awareness about Native Americans' contributions to U.S. military history.
A ceremony to announce the winners will be held June 15 in Las Vegas.

OAKLAND -- The FBI and IRS have opened a criminal investigation into a charter school whose former director allegedly funneled $3.8 million from the school to companies he owns for construction and classroom rental spaces.
On Wednesday afternoon, the federal agencies executed search warrants at three of the school locations and the Oakland home of former American Indian Model Schools director Ben Chavis.
FBI spokeswoman Julie Sohn would not say when the investigation into AIMS started or what it entails.
"These are sealed search warrants, and they are part of an ongoing criminal investigation," Sohn said.
A state audit last year found that Chavis, who now lives in North Carolina, broke state laws, including the Political Reform Act, when he directed the school to hire his companies.
IRS special agent and spokeswoman Arlette Lee said agents were at all three school sites in Oakland from 5 p.m. Wednesday until about 1 a.m. Thursday. Speaking in general terms, she said the IRS investigates cases of tax fraud and other types of federal financial crimes such as money laundering.
"Whenever we work a case, we're trying to find out where the money comes from and where it's going," Lee said.
Agents searched Chavis' Oakland home and his mother-in-law's house, removing several boxes.
Chavis called the development a "strange coincidence," especially since an Alameda County judge ruled Monday that the charter can remain open while it appeals a decision by Oakland Unified School District to close it because of his alleged improprieties.
"If I stole money, put my (expletive) in jail, but keep the school open," he said. "They are out to punish the kids."
He said he welcomed the federal government's involvement because it will prove there was no wrongdoing on his part.
The school's current director, Nabeehah Shakir, said Thursday she did not know what the investigation was about.
"We're not focused on the FBI," Shakir said. "We're focused on keeping the school open."
Shakir said the FBI and IRS agents were respectful, did not make a mess and waited for children to go home for the day before they began their search.
In June, Chavis said the money he got from the school for renovation and construction was money he donated to the school and that he rented buildings to the school at below-market rates.
"If there is $3.8 million missing, there should be checks," Chavis said. "Show me the checks."
A lawyer for the school has argued Chavis did not break the law because he disclosed the contracts to his school board and recused himself from voting on them.
The Oakland school district revoked the school's charter in March based on the audit and ordered the school to close. The Alameda County Board of Education affirmed that revocation, but the school filed a lawsuit challenging the revocation, and on Monday an Alameda County judge issued an order allowing the school to stay open.
Oakland schools Superintendent Gary Yee said Wednesday he did not know about the federal investigation.
"The audit showed there were some state and federal funds involved, so it's my guess the investigation has something to do with that, but we really don't know," Yee said.

text: According to 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service waterfowl surveys, total duck breeding population estimates have increased in most traditional survey areas in Canada. The only exceptions are in northern parts of the British Columbia/Western Boreal Forest Region, which could be a result of birds short-stopping to take advantage of the excellent habitat conditions in the Prairie Region. Prairie breeding populations have increased by 41 to 66 percent since last year and by 2-43 percent compared to the long-term average. Breeding habitat is favourable in most of the Eastern Region, and Ontario is expecting an above-average production year.

SAN JOSE -- With each passing day, the mystery deepens.
Someone, somewhere, is in possession of a lucky Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $324 million that was purchased at a small San Jose shop on Dec. 17.
We know the winning numbers: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39 and a mega number of 7. But what's still unknown is who holds the golden slip of paper that represents a passport into the land of unfathomable riches.
"We're still waiting," said Russ Lopez, a California Lottery spokesman. "But we're urging them to just come forward, let us help you with the initial madness, and then start the next chapter of your new life. It's going to be a heck of a ride."
But outside Jenny's Gift & Kids Wear, a store tucked away in a Tully Road strip mall where the precious ticket was sold, security guard Mel Cruz said Saturday that he just hopes it wasn't somehow lost.
"Everybody here is happy," said Cruz, 64. "It's exciting. But we're all asking: 'Why hasn't it been claimed yet?'"
So for now, the focus has centered upon store owner Thuy Nguyen, and he's not exactly enjoying the spotlight. Sure, at first he was thrilled with the attention. After all, he smiled for the cameras while holding an oversized, honorary check for $1 million that he will receive sometime in the coming weeks for selling the lottery ticket.
But Nguyen's voice has become raspy from too much talking and he's weary of posing for pictures with customers. He talks about "a lot of drama." And he has been asked the same question over and over.
Who won?
"I know everybody wants to find out, but I don't know," said Nguyen, who emigrated from Vietnam 20 years ago and has owned the store for four months. "I want to know who won, too. But it's up to that person about what to do. I just sold the ticket. This is a gift from God, and I'm happy for them."
Nguyen spoke between waiting on a steady stream of older Vietnamese men who entered to buy a variety of lottery tickets. They had to pass under a new California Lottery sign that read: Millionaire Made Here. Are You Next?
"People ask me, "Can you sleep?'" he added. "Well I sleep good. I still have to get up early every morning, go to work and take care of my family. I'm just very tired. I was excited for about 15 minutes, but now it's so over."
The ticket he sold was one of two winners in the $648 million drawing -- the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history. The other newly minted multimillionaire, Ira Curry of Georgia, claimed her winnings and immediately dropped out of sight. She is taking her bonanza as a lump sum -- $123 million after taxes.
The mystery ticket will carry less of a tax bite because unlike Georgia, California does not take a share of lottery windfalls. It's worth $173 million, before Uncle Sam's cut, if taken as a lump sum.
The winner has up to a year to claim the prize.
By this point, lottery officials are assuming that whoever holds the ticket knows that they struck it rich and are seeking legal and financial counsel -- something they say is smart.
But Lopez has his own advice to add. He suggests the winner end the suspense, claim the prize and speak publicly because it will be impossible to keep a low profile.
"This is such a big winner and there's so much attention," Lopez said. "The media all want to ask the same questions. How does it feel? What were you thinking when you bought the ticket? Do it once and that way, you satisfy the public's curiosity."
While the winner doesn't have to appear at a news conference -- Curry didn't in Georgia -- the name is required to be made public in the interest of transparency.
"There is no hiding," Lopez added. "There is no anonymity. There is no claiming a prize as a trust. You will be known."
While it may sound inconceivable, winning tickets often are not returned. Lopez said this past fiscal year, which ended in June, saw $22 million in winnings go unclaimed. That money instead went to California schools, which is the lottery's beneficiary.
Another example came in November when the winner of a $465,539 Powerball prize sold in Los Angeles missed the 180-day deadline to claim the prize.
But this is a winning ticket on a completely different scale.
It's also why Cruz, the security guard, said he has met people in recent days from as far away as Salinas and Sacramento who have bought lottery tickets at the San Jose store.
"Everyone knows this is a lucky place now," he said.
Meanwhile, the waiting game continues.
"Everything we do at the lottery is about this moment -- someone buying a $1 ticket and changing their life forever," Lopez said. "We're like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and every other magical creature who makes dreams come true, all rolled up in one."
But apparently they don't know who won, either.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --The way Paul Dankers heard it, Jan Lisiecki started playing piano because his parents decided he needed to diversify after he started advancing into high-school level math during early elementary school.
"In short order, he was playing repertoire that was just way beyond his age level," said Dankers, the music director at Snowmass Chapel.
Dankers has had a personal relationship with the Lisieckis since Jan first performed in Snowmass after winning the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition for juniors in 2007. Since then, Lisiecki has returned to Snowmass to perform every year but one. He is back this week for a ski vacation and will perform all of Chopin's etudes at the chapel on President's Day.
Dankers says Lisiecki signed up for the competition because "for whatever reason he wanted to perform at Snowmass Chapel." Dankers said many young performers are very technical in their playing, but that was not what Dankers found at Lisiecki's first Snowmass appearance.
"(Young performers) often play the piano like it's a typing exercise," he said. "It's completely devoid of emotion. But that wasn't the case with him. He played with such depth."
Lisiecki, now 17, signed a recording agreement with Deutsche Grammophon two years ago. Lisiecki has performed Chopin to a much larger audience before. Born in Canada to Polish parents, he was invited to open the year of festivals commemorating the composer's bicentenary in Poland in 2010.
The etudes that Lisiecki will perform this weekend are not easy, Dankers said.
"These things are tough," he said. "To play all of them in one concert is also astonishing."
Although the teenager has been a serious musician for some time now, he and his family are very down to earth, according to Dankers.
"They try to give him a normal life," he said. "They try not to let him take himself too seriously."
That translates into the way Lisiecki wants people to approach his music. He doesn't want to be known for his age, Dankers said.
"He wants to be known for the quality of his music," Dankers said. "He wants people to come hear the concert because he really believes in the music."
Thanks to donations from Larry and Margaret Marsland, the Aspen Skiing Co, the Westin Snowmass and the chapel, the concert will be offered for free.
"He is the pianist on the circuit right now," Dankers said. "We want to see a big crowd there to hear him play. He normally plays for thousands of people."

Knitter's Review
January 12, 2012
Last week's hat pattern left me with bulky yarns on the brain, both literally and metaphorically. I've since discovered a plush, spongy knitted-tube yarn from Rowan. Alpaca Chunky is billed as the chunky sibling to Lima. But on closer inspection, I found several reasons why the yarn merits a little respect on its own. Shall we swatch?

Teenager gets 30 years for fatal shooting
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:17 p.m.
SARASOTA - Olajuwon Butler, convicted of shooting a 20-year-old in a feud between rival groups, was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.
Butler, now 19, was found guilty of second-degree murder with a firearm in November for shooting at a truck, killing Hakeem Murray, who was a member of a rival Newtown group in 2011.
During the sentencing hearing, Murray's family told the judge about the loss of their loved one and their continuing fear of violence.
After Butler's trial, the home of a state's witness who testified against him was the target of a drive-by shooting. A court bailiff walked the Murray family to their car after Friday's sentencing.
Butler's father, two of his aunts and a volunteer chaplain at the jail pleaded during the hearing for Circuit Judge Donna Berlin's to show mercy.
"Both families have expressed pain for each other, which is unusual," Berlin said, noting that one family had lost a son to violence and Butler's family was losing him to prison.
"Unfortunately, what the court has seen is an act of revenge," Berlin said.
State sentencing guidelines recommended 25 years. Berlin followed prosecutors' request for 30 years in prison, with 25 years mandatory.
Seventeen at the time of the shooting, Butler will be in his 40s when he is released.
"I'm more concerned about protecting the community," Berlin said in response to calls for mercy.

PHOTOS - See the 10 places where Ireland's scariest ghosts reside
Ireland has a long and bloody history, which means that naturally, haunted places can be found all over the country.
From castles visited by murdered spirits, to pubs run by friendly ghosts, Ireland is home to an array of specters.
We've done our research here at IrishCentral and come up with what we think are the 10 most haunted places in all of the Emerald Isle.
So light a fire, curl up to your computer and get ready to learn all about the Ireland's scariest ghouls and ghosts.
1. Ross Castle
Lough Sheelin, County Meath
A famous Irish building steeped in history, Ross Castle is known as one of the most haunted places in all of Ireland and even Britain.
Located on the shores of Lough (Lake) Sheelin, the castle was built in 1533 by the Lord of Devon Richard Nugent, a.k.a. the Black Baron."
The Baron's tragic daughter Sabina is said to haunt the property today.
Legend has it that in 1536, Sabina met a handsome young man named Orwin, son of an O'Reilly chieftain, on a bridge on the edge of her father's property.
The two fell in love, but they weren't considered an appropriate match, with Sabina being English and Orwin being Irish.
So the star-crossed lovers decided to elope, and took a boat out onto Lough Sheelin to escape the people who wouldn't accept them together.
But the unpredictable lake waters got the best of them when a storm hit and their boat was overturned. Orwin struck his head on the rock beneath the shallow lake and died, while Sabina was rescued.
When Sabina woke up three days later and saw her beloved's body laid out in the palace chapel, she screamed a blood curdling scream. Soon after she died from shock, and she and Orwin were buried in a mound on the castle grounds.
Sabina now haunts Ross Castle, in search for her lost lover. Her agonizing wail is said to still be heard today around 3 or 4 a.m. in the back right room of the castle.
The Black Baron's presence has also been reported visitors in the vicinity of the castle on numerous occasions. The Baron is said to roam the grounds as well, grieving for his dead daughter.

2. Kilmainham Gaol
Kilmainham, County Dublin
Prisons are famously haunted buildings, and Ireland's most famous prison is no exception.
Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin opened in 1796, and is the place where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were held and subsequently executed by firing squad. The building was shut down in 1924.
Today, the large and eerie jail is Ireland's largest unoccupied prison. It was restored in the 1960s, and is now a museum that's said to be haunted by both former inmates and evil wardens.
Several ghostly tales have been told about Kilmainham Gaol. During its restoration, caretaker Dan McGill reported lights mysteriously turning on and off in the prison chapel.
During the same time period, a man who was painting the dungeon area of the prison experienced a powerful gust of wind, which blew him against a wall. The man managed to fight his way out of the dungeon, and emerged with an ashen face and shaking hands. He refused to work in, or ever enter, the jail again.
Another worker was decorating the 1916 memorial corridor when he heard heavy footsteps climbing the stone stairs and walking up behind him. When he turned, no one was in the corridor, despite the fact that the footsteps continued right past him.
Several children who went to tour the prison have stopped at its threshold and refused to go a step further onto the grounds.
According to Dan McGill, the threatening spirits at the prison do not belong to the inmates, because they are happy that their stories are being told. But, "The soldiers and the guards?" he would say. "Now they're a different matter."

3. Charles Fort
Kinsale, County Cork
Military forts join theatres and jails in being the most haunted areas in many countries.
Charles Fort is Ireland's resident military haunted sight.
The fort, which was built in the 1670s, is often visited by the "White Lady of Kinsale."

KINGSPORT, Tenn. – A five-run first inning set the stage for Lindsey Wilson College to pick up a 10-2 win over the University of Pikeville in the opening round of the 2013 Mid-South Conference softball tournament.
The loss sends the Bears into the loser's bracket where they will meet Shawnee State at 2 p.m. at Domtar Park, while the Blue Raiders will meet U.Va.-Wise in the next round. The Cavaliers were 9-0 winners over SSU in the opening round.
Lindsey Wilson, the top-seed in the eight-team field, needed only four hits to post the big first inning. A double to the fence in right-center by Kristina Krupinski scored two runs and Ali Hart delivered a triple to plate two more, and an errant throw allowed her to score to make it 5-0.
The Bears got two runs back in the top of the third. It began when left-fielder Jordyn Hale singled, followed by a walk by Sarah Kinney, and when centerfielder B.J. Howard singled one out later, the bases were loaded.
Right fielder Sarah Belcher laced a shot off the pitcher to plate Hale with the first run, and shortstop Hollie Hinkle delivered Kinney with a walk.
But the Bears left the bases full and trailed 5-2 after the frame.
Lindsey Wilson got those runs back in the bottom of the inning, added one in the fourth and put it away with two more in the fifth.
In addition to Howard and Hale's singles, Hinkle added the only other hit.
Kayla Morgan went all 4-1/3 innings, allowing 10 hits. Nine of the 10 runs were earned. She struck out two and walked three.

By Toni Clarke (Reuters) - Fraudulent versions of the wrinkle treatment Botox, which is made by Allergan Inc and also used to treat headaches, underarm sweating and overactive bladder, are being sold in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration said on Friday. The FDA said in an alert posted on its website that the outer carton of the fraudulent Botox is counterfeit, and the vial inside is foreign and not approved for sale in the United States. "FDA cannot confirm that the manufacture, quality, storage, and handling of these products follow U.S. standards," the agency said. ...

Historically, vaccines have had an unmatched impact on improving public health. Looking ahead, what are the biggest obstacles and exciting opportunities in the field?
Contributors Respond
Marla Weston, PhD, RN, FAAN
CEO, American Nurses Association
Vaccination is widely considered to be among the greatest public health achievements in history. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has a long-standing policy in support of immunizations and we recognize the vital role nurses and health care providers have in the continued effort to increase vaccination coverage.
Innovations in vaccine science continue to emerge; as recently, there was some exciting news related to the influenza vaccine. A new influenza vaccine containing protein produced in an insect cell line will remove a major barrier to immunization for those with egg allergies. And there is talk of a universal flu vaccine – a vaccine that could provide long-lasting protection against both seasonal and potentially pandemic influenza viruses. This is truly a public health dream.
As exciting as these advancements are, obstacles will still need to be addressed. One of the most commonly cited barriers to vaccination is misinformation. This is especially true during flu season, when myths surrounding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine surface year after year. Health care providers have an important stake in helping to promote immunizations through patient education. We have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to talk to our patients about the importance of immunizations and to directly address misinformation about vaccines.
ANA believes nurses have a professional and ethical obligation to be immunized. Increasing rates of influenza vaccination among health care providers is a priority for public health, patient safety, and healthcare quality. In 2010, Healthy People 2020 set a national objective of increasing the percentage of health care providers vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza, with a target of 90% by 2020.
We are making considerable progress toward reaching this goal. Last year, ANA conducted an influenza vaccination survey of over 5,000 registered nurses (RNs). The results revealed that 86.3% of RNs were vaccinated during the 2011-12 season. The survey also showed that RNs hold strong beliefs about the importance of influenza vaccination. This is especially good news because it demonstrates the potential of nurses to be advocates for immunization.
Nurses and other health care providers have a critical role in addressing obstacles head on and promoting vaccines through patient education (http://www.anaimmunize.org/). ANA applauds the considerable progress made and we look forward to continuing to be part of the effort to protect the population from vaccine preventable disease.
Christophe Weber
President, GSK Vaccines
No other health intervention is as simple, powerful and cost effective as a vaccine. In developed countries such as the United States, vaccinating the babies born each year saves $10 billion in direct medical costs and $33 billion in indirect costs. Vaccines have turned the tide against deadly diseases such as polio, small pox and neonatal tetanus, saving millions of lives.
Yet vaccines for some of the biggest health threats of our time remain elusive. Finding new vaccines against TB, HIV, cancer or dengue fever is scientifically challenging. How do you target a virus that attacks the immune system that should fight it, a human parasite that evades detection or cancerous cells with a vaccine?
Advances in science mean we may now be on the brink of another major breakthrough in vaccine science. GSK has spent almost thirty years cultivating a promising malaria vaccine candidate, RTS,S, which is now in late-stage trials in seven African countries. If ongoing trials and the required regulatory steps are completed successfully, it could be available from 2015 in certain African countries. A promising Sanofi vaccine candidate for dengue is currently in late-stage clinical trials. Given the huge burden of these diseases, if proven effective, the impact on public health could be dramatic.
Yet just as challenging as research for new vaccines is ensuring that the vaccines we already have are used to full effect. The recent resurgence of polio in Somalia reminds us that enough people need to be immunised or fragile gains can be lost. Around the world, 19,000 children still die every day from largely preventable causes.
GlaxoSmithKline and some of our industry colleagues have joined a campaign led by Bill Gates which has the aim of delivering the full benefits of immunisation to all people, regardless of where they are born, who they are or where they live, by 2020.
Countries are faced with a range of different barriers to vaccination. It may be a shortage of healthcare workers, inadequate financial resources or in some areas a lack of information about disease and preventive vaccines. We are working to overcome each of these barriers in partnership with our industry, other business leaders, governments and non-governmental organizations.
Ultimately success in making vaccines accessible and in developing new vaccines will depend on building and expanding these partnerships in our community and around the world. Just as critical is ensuring that health remains a focus of governments everywhere, so the gains we make against disease are never lost. Only then can we ensure that the transformative effect that vaccines have had on global health in the past continues long into the future.
Roberta DeBiasi, MD
Faculty, Children's National Medical Center
Over 25% of annual deaths worldwide each year are attributable to infectious diseases. The success of vaccines in preventing previously widely circulating infectious diseases such as polio, smallpox, measles and diphtheria is one of the true miracles and success of modern medicine.
However, obstacles to continued progress in eradicating vaccine-preventable diseases continue to exist. Worldwide, over 20% of children don't receive their primary vaccination series. The reasons for this include lack of health service infrastructure, lack of access to primary care, worldwide armed conflict. In addition to already recognized pathogens, newly emerging pathogens such as West Nile Virus, avian influenza, and the Middle Eastern respiratory virus (MERS) continue to present challenges for ongoing control of infectious disease burden to public health. Additional barriers include public perception on the safety of vaccines, influenced by the circulation of falsified data and a theory regarding risks of vaccination, as was the case with the now disproven link between MMR and autism. Despite rigorous and extensive testing for safety and efficacy, a single piece of widely circulated false information can have lasting impact on the public's perception on vaccine safety; unfounded fears regarding safety may overshadow true ongoing risks of natural exposure to preventable and serious disease. Once a disease is rendered rare by nature of a successful vaccine, the public rapidly forgets the extent to which the disease threatened the health of the general public before the vaccine was available. An excellent example is polio, which affected children every neighborhood in the United States annually, and for which entire hospital wards of iron lungs existed in children's hospitals before a safe and effective vaccine was available.
Despite these obstacles, there are unprecedented and exciting opportunities for vaccine development in our current era. We now possess the knowledge and technology to apply molecular biology techniques to identify more effective vaccine targets, and design vaccines more quickly in response to emerging infectious threats to public health. For instance cell-based technologies can now reduce the response time for development of a vaccine against pandemic strains of influenza. Study of adjuvants, or additional components of vaccines that can improve the recipient's immune response to the vaccine, is another area of intense focus and rapid progress. Novel methods of delivering vaccines are being developed, that can improve the practicality of widespread vaccination in resource-poor settings Continued progress is being made toward development of effective vaccines against the world's largest killers: malaria, HIV and tuberculosis. We must continue to support ongoing research and application of the most modern vaccine development technologies to effectively respond to recognized and emerging pathogens in a nimble and effective manner.
Robyn Swirling
Outreach Coordinator, Advocates for Youth
The HPV vaccine has the potential to have a dramatic impact on the health of young people and presents an exciting opportunity, if we can work with stakeholders to make the case that the HPV vaccine helps young people lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
Robyn Swirling is the Online Organizing & Outreach Coordinator at Advocates for Youth. Advocates for Youth believes that all young people have the right to lead healthy lives, and therefore we have the responsibility to provide them with the tools and resources they need to make healthy decisions. Robyn shares her thoughts about the HPV vaccine:
In February 2008, at 21 years old, my doctor called to tell me my most recent pap smear was abnormal and positive for HPV. I had a colposcopy to see what was wrong, and another abnormal pap three months later. Then another colposcopy. Then surgery. Then more abnormal paps, colposcopies, biopsies, surgeries, and topical chemotherapy. I recently had my eighth colposcopy and am waiting to find out if the cancer has returned.
Because of the testing and treatment I receive, the cervical cancer and HPV will never be life-threatening for me. But each year approximately 4,000 women die of cervical cancer. And while this will likely never be fatal for me, my HPV infection has been far from consequence-free. Because of my treatment, carrying a pregnancy, if possible at all, will be a dangerous undertaking, potentially requiring an entire trimester of bed rest.
This isn't what parents think will happen when they deny their children access to the HPV vaccine, but it should be. Three-fourths of sexually active people between the ages of 15 and 49 will contract HPV at some point. For most people it clears up on its own without causing any problems, but for some of us it doesn't. Both of the current HPV vaccines protect from strains 16 and 18, which together cause an estimated 70 percent of cervical cancers and pre-cancers, as well as other HPV-related cancers, and one vaccine protects against the strains of HPV that cause the majority of genital warts.
I was 19 when Gardasil first became available, and I got the first shot of the vaccine as soon as possible with my mother's blessing and insistence. I was already sexually active, but we couldn't know if I'd already been exposed to the HPV strain that has caused this cancer. That's why it's so important for parents to stare down the potential consequences of HPV, talk to their children honestly and openly about their sexuality and the risks of HPV and other STIs, and have their children – girls and boys, both - vaccinated around 11-12 years old as the CDC recommends.
Parents cannot anticipate when their children will become sexually active and become at risk for HPV, but the science is clear that HPV vaccination early, before young people become sexually active, is the most reliable way to protect against cervical cancer and genital warts, as well as other HPV-related cancers. For the sake of public health and so others don't have to go through what I have, I hope more parents will vaccinate.
Tom Frieden, MD, MPH
Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Vaccination is one of the greatest public health achievements of the past 100 years. It is a safe, highly effective, and low-cost method of preventing certain infectious diseases and protecting the world's children from diseases, disability, and death. In terms of health improvement, only clean water and overall economic development can do more.
Thanks to vaccination, many diseases that once threated the lives of children are now a thing of the past. Smallpox, which used to kill millions of people worldwide every year, has been eradicated and polio is on the verge of being eradicated. Other diseases such as measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome have been eliminated in the Americas. Measles vaccines alone have prevented more than 10 million deaths globally since 2000.
Ensuring children everywhere get the life-saving vaccines they need so they can grow up to lead healthy and productive lives requires commitment, partnership, and support on a global level. It requires public and private partners including national governments, non-governmental agencies, and private industry to work together every step of the way so that every child in every community gets the needed vaccines.
Global partnerships are extraordinarily effective. They led to the success of the meningitis A conjugate vaccination campaign in Africa's "meningitis belt," where the 100th million person was vaccinated in December of 2012 against this devastating disease.
In the United States, public and private partners have worked together on one of the most successful public health initiatives: the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. The federally funded program provides vaccines at no cost to eligible children. It protects children from diseases, eliminates health disparities, and saves lives.
This week marks the 20th year anniversary of the VFC program. As we celebrate this tremendous milestone, we need to rededicate ourselves to working together to ensure that every child everywhere gets protected by vaccinates.
Three of the biggest challenges on the U.S. and global front have been:
· Reaching the most hard-to-reach people all over the world.
· Establishing effective clinical systems to support patients and providers.
The most exciting opportunities include:
· Expansion of coverage so more people are able to access life-saving vaccines.
· Using technology to improve and modernize systems for immunization delivery (registries; monitoring of program and performance).
· Scientific advances that are bringing new approaches to product development and delivery (e.g. adjuvants, alternate delivery methods)
· Partnership models (public-private partnerships, extending benefits of vaccines to those who need it the most).

Mos gets more props for his acting than his rapping, though his acting has kind of fallen into a rutt of sameness as well. He's kind of type-cast at this point as the geeky black guy.

- Cats Estate: Did C.E.S. Wood embellish Chief Joseph's words?
The historic Cats Estate in the hills above town remains for sale, but the owners are now willing to divide the 75-acre spread in half.
One half would be comprised of the estate's main buildings, including the gate house, the poet's cottage and the main living quarters, artwork and statuary, for a total of 36.76 acres. The remaining 34.23 acres is mostly open space that was once a working ranch.
The ranch property does have a house on it that has been red-tagged by the county. Realtor Duane Adam says, "There's no value in the building; it's just an old building. It has a roof that needs to be retrofitted or we might just have the building removed."
Adam says a price has not been set for the ranch property, but the estate property can be purchased for $6,850,000.
The most recent price for the combined estate and ranch properties was $7,999,950. "They're still willing to sell everything for that figure," Adam said. "I think it's a good value. There's a lot of land over there."
The property is owned by the heirs of Diane Ogilvie, who owned numerous businesses in town and built the Hotel Los Gatos at 210 E. Main St. Ogilvie died in late 2011.
Of course, The Cats Estate is best known for the statues of Leo and Leona, the unofficial town mascots that can be seen by drivers heading south on Highway 17.
The estate was built in the 1920s by writer Charles Erskine Scott Wood and poet Sara Bard Field, who turned the property into an artists' haven.
Meantime, Sara Wood Smith, who is a descendant of C.E.S. Wood, is hopeful the property can be retained for its historic significance and vast open spaces.
"At one point, we thought there might be a coalition of open space and land trust organizations interested in helping put together a group to help purchase the property, but when the primary area of interest to them showed as already being on the county open space property [rolls], they decided not to take a lead in this project," Smith said in an email. "We have not yet found other major parties interested in acquiring this unique and special property, so we are open to more suggestions of how to proceed."
Wood also confirmed that the Los Gatos Art Museum is planning to stage an exhibition later this year showcasing the estate and the works of C.E.S. Wood and Sara Bard Field.

SAN JOSE -- As they pulled up to the starting line of Sunday's eighth annual Rock 'n' Roll San Jose Half Marathon, James Vicary was counting on his own country music mix to get him through the 13.1-mile course.
Wheelchair racer Gustavo Marquez Jr. decided Andrea Bocelli and some Jay-Z would keep him going on the alternate "mini" 5-mile route.
And off to the sideline, Richard Chavira made his own sound, ringing a cowbell whenever one of his many friends passed by in their bright red "Red Power Divas/Divos" T-shirts.
But for most of the morning's record-breaking crowd of 16,000 runners, joggers and walkers, it was rock 'n' roll from 18 local bands and 16 high school cheer groups stationed along the way that helped distract runners from the grueling miles ahead.
And those were just the official groups that encouraged the participants, including the elite male and female runners who competed for cash prizes. (See sports section)
Homeowners along the route provided their own garage bands, or swing music, or recordings of the theme from the movie "Rocky" to keep up the beat during the route that began downtown at West Santa Clara Street and Almaden Boulevard. It wound its way past City Hall, through Japantown along The Alameda, into the Rose Garden and back downtown.
"It picks you up and keeps you going," said 57-year-old Jas Sumal, of Cupertino, who was recently injured and only walked the mini-course with her daughter Priya, 32. "People were sitting outside their homes and playing guitars and singing. It was fun."
Strong security
For 44-year-old Julie Miller, of San Jose, who finished the race in 2½ hours, the music "helps you get a rhythm going and helps distract you from the challenge of the endurance,'' she said. "It just kind of moves you forward, and it's really appreciated."
So was a heightened security presence.
Sunday's 8 a.m. race started a few minutes late after a bystander notified organizers about an unattended backpack that police later determined was filled with trash.
But Tracy Sundlun, senior vice president of Competitor Group, the San Diego company that owns the Rock 'n' Roll race series, said the Boston Marathon bombing in April has put a greater emphasis on security at races, including hiring more police and using bomb-sniffing dogs. "Many of the things we did before, which we attempted to keep from the public, we now do more openly and publicize," including pre-sweeps of the course and facilities linked to the race, he said.
"Before it was a source of concern," he said. "Now it's a source of comfort."
San Jose police could not confirm whether they had increased the number of officers at the event, or what security tactics were used. They could not confirm if any arrests or injuries had occurred.
Focused on running
People like 60-year-old Chavira, who has either run in or attended the race for the last four years, said he thought there were more police officers this year, especially around the starting gate.
"This year it was more noticeable, and I was happy to see them," said Chavira, who was there to watch his 8-year-old son race.
But the day unfolded peacefully, and by 11 a.m. thousands of racers, their families and friends were gathered downtown at the Plaza de Cesar Chavez to listen to music, refuel and quench their thirst.
Marquez, 32, who was injured in a car accident 10 years ago, came with a team of 20 friends and family who tried to keep up with him.
Like Vicary, he brought his own music -- some classical, some hip-hop, even a little jazz -- that he said keeps him focused.
"With me when I'm exercising, and I hear a song I like, I just push myself even harder," said Marquez, who was proud to post a personal record of 39 minutes and 40 seconds, much better than the 55 minutes it took him to complete the 5-mile course last year.
Vicary, 28, who ran the half-marathon in 1 hour and 26 minutes, beat his goal by 4 minutes, energized by the country songs of Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan that thumped inside his headset.
"I was zoned out on my own music," said Vicary, "and just kept running. "

On the first floor is a part that was originally only accessible to the imperial family. It contains the so-called deesis-mosaic, it represents Christ enthroned with on one side the Virgin Mary, on the other John the Baptist. It is from the beginning of the 14th century, and is an example of (Enc.Britt.) a "phenomenon called the Palaeologian Renaissance (from the dynasty of the Palaeologians, 1261–1453) led to a renewal of Byzantine mosaic art. The stylistic innovations that made themselves felt both in painting and mosaics of the late 13th and beginning 14th century bear witness to one of the most startling changes that ever took place within the framework of Byzantine culture. Bred by a vital humanism, which penetrated westward and laid the foundations for the Italian Renaissance, painting showed a predilection for perspective and three-dimensionalism. A peculiar vivacity invaded religious art, together with a sense of pathos and of the tragic. The results, as expressed in mosaics, were extraordinary.
To respond to the new trend, mosaicists recast their technique. The tessera size generally became smaller than it had been in earlier epochs; and contours lost their rigidity, became thinner, and were occasionally abolished. Colour was reintroduced in a manner that gives the Palaeologian works a striking likeness to the mosaics of the Early Christian period, which, one must suppose, in many cases served the artists as models."

Dorothy Brown, 73, of Clarkfield, died on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at the Chippewa County-Montevideo Hospital. Funeral services were conducted on Monday, March 18, at the Clarkfield Lutheran Church in Clarkfield. Pastor Chris Zuraff officiated with interment at Sunset Memorial Cemetery in Montevideo. .
Dorothy Mae (Anderson) Brown was born on May 11, 1939 at Goodridge, to Johannas and Margaret (Stensrud) Anderson. She was baptized at Goodridge Lutheran Church and confirmed at Clarkfield Lutheran Church. She graduated from Minneota High School in 1957. On December 5, 1959 she was united in marriage to Merlyn Brown. They farmed and she enjoyed farm life, helping Merlyn by driving tractor (sometimes with children and puppies in the tractor cab with her), driving truck, and providing big lunches to Merlyn and sons. Dorothy decided to make a change from working on the farm to working at Innovex in Montevideo and later at Schotts in Canby. She had a close group of friends from Innovex that she got together with on a regular basis after retirement. She always looked forward to spending time with these close friends. She also has many life-long friendships that were special to her.
Her interests included gardening, quilting, sewing, and Nascar races, always cheering on her favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. Her greatest joy was her family. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters, shopping, having coffee parties, and just sharing fond memories and laughing together. She looked forward to all family events, especially the annual Anderson Christmas party and summer Brown reunion, when she could visit with all extended family. Family was very important to her.
Her grandchildren and great grandchildren had a special place in her heart. She loved making them her famous strawberry jam, and they loved it too. According to the grandchildren, her jam was the best present ever. She always gave the grandchildren a special goodbye that they all remember. She would wave to them from the living room window or front deck, and they would wave back until they were out of sight.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Merlyn; children: Gregory (Robyn) Brown of Montevideo, Vicky (Terry) Willander of Clarkfield, Sherie (Philip) Hermann of Maple Grove, Mark (Becky) Brown of Albion, NE and Thomas (Kari) Brown of Hennepin, IL; fifteen grandchildren: Melissa (Allen) Anderson, Sarah (Matt) Van Gorp, Dustin (Aislinn) Willander, Nicole (Doug) Jans, Carlee Willander, Austin Hermann, Jessie Hermann, Cole Hermann, Megan (Kelly) Hunt, Cody (Serena) Brown, Clay Brown, Thomas Brown, Jr., Lauren, Madison and Brooklyn Brown; nine great-grandchildren: Jonas, Afton, Kiptyn, Emry, Avery, Hunter, Alexis, Aleigha, and Sophia; a brother, Arden (and Pat) Anderson of Montevideo; two sisters: Marlys (Archie) Froland of Clarkfield, and Bernice (Gene) Moseng of Monte-video; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Charles (Lois) Brown and Thomas (Meredith) Brown, both of Bemidji; as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Gordon Anderson; her parents-in-law, Ray and Ida Brown; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Lois and Paul Bergo and a brother-in-law Donald Norman.

Hm, I need to test it again because my first test shown that it is stored so next time(after server restart) file is not parsed again and it is hidded also in case that now file is OK=can be parsed.
Also in some cases not parsed file doesn't mean it can't be played on PS3
Because that I also asked for option to show not parsed files with some info so we can test these files on PS3 that it is true it is not working when streamed and also reencoded. Because I am sure that some not parsed files were streamed OK to PS3(now I am not sure if pure streaming worked or transcoding was needed)
Info: Unstable release: 3.2.0.BETA1, 04-Mar-2010 of NETTY released

UNION CITY -- RaeAnn Garza will turn anything into a competition, so it's no wonder the ace of the James Logan High softball team thrives under pressure.
"I'm extremely competitive," said Garza, the Colts' four-year starting pitcher. "It can be the smallest things, like seeing who can eat faster or who can score higher on a test."
That competitive fire was on full display during yet another run to the North Coast Section Division I championship for Garza and the Colts.
A three-time NCS champion, Garza was solid all year long but elevated her play in the postseason, allowing just one earned run in three playoff wins while also making an impact with her bat. She has been named Bay Area News Group East Bay Softball Player of the Year.
"She just hates to lose," Logan coach Teri Johnson said. "She'll never second guess herself on a pitch she wants to throw and I think that shows confidence. She owns the circle when she's in it. She feared none and respected all."
Garza embraced the role of team captain this year, leading with her voice and by example. She was patient but encouraging with the young defense working behind her.
By the postseason, errors were scarce and the team was rolling.
"They weren't doing the little extra things that make a championship team," Johnson said. "She really instilled that in them."
The Colts especially needed their ace and No. 3 hitter in a tough semifinal matchup with California.
Garza worked out of some jams early against the Grizzlies, then broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a booming double that scored the game's only run. After her big RBI, Garza didn't allow another base runner to preserve a 1-0 win.
"People have been telling me ever since I was in 10-and-under (softball) that I keep my composure," Garza said. "I don't get stressed or lose focus and I can work through those (tough) moments."
Garza posted an ERA of 0.85 and a batting average of .412 as a senior. But winning is what she did best.
With Garza in the circle the last four years, the Colts never lost an Mission Valley Athletic League game. In fact, they only lost once this season and six times total over the past three years.
She and senior teammates Caley Bonansea, Clarissa Blaquera, Tatyana Salazar and Kimberly Goulart all made the varsity team as freshmen. Together, they became the first team in any sport at Logan to repeat as section champions, according to Johnson.
"We've been friends for so long and softball brings us even closer," Garza said. "It's just great because doing these things with the people you love makes it 10 times better."

Do you think that this machine is right to stream 1080p movies? (having a gigabit wifi connection), or do you think that I need more ram memory?

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department is trying to identify a suspect and a person of interest in a sexual battery incident that occurred about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
A female student was walking toward campus on the Shima 2 pathway when a man approached her from behind, reached around her midsection with both arms and tried to unbuckle her belt while kissing her on the neck, police said.
The man then let the victim go and left the area in an unknown direction, authorities said. The assailant was described as a black man with a dark complexion wearing long, dark sleeves and dark-colored pants, police said.
Moments before the attack, the woman was walking with an unknown man whom she met outside the Goleman Library, authorities said. He was described as a black man with a dark complexion wearing a black jacket, black pants and white tennis shoes, police said. Officers believe he may have witnessed the attack.

25 Things NOT to Do with Your BabyMolly Thornberg
Dear Parents,
Your little baby is cute, adorable and innocent. Let's keep him or her that way for as long as possible. Someday your sweet little baby will grow up. It is up to YOU to shape your child's future.
While we all make parenting mistakes, typically they aren't harmful (such as the 5 second rule when a pacifier is dropped on the ground). And of all people in this world that can get wrapped up in stupid fun, I can get taking silly photos of your baby in CERTAIN situations. Then I run into utter stupidity and bad parenting.
I am all about fun and games with my baby, but can we all agree to keep it clean fun and something that won't psychologically damage our children? Why these moments were photographed baffles me.
25 Things to Not Do with Your Baby:
Don't Tape Baby to a Wall 1 of 26Despite your best efforts to keep baby in one place, it's not going to happen. Duct tape just isn't made to hold baby to the wall. .
