- Seasonal (20)
It's winter! Celebrate the season by making this cool door decoration with your Nick Jr. fan.
Watch all your favorite shows weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print the Door Sign templates on card stock or heavy weight paper. For a sturdier door sign, affix to a cardboard box before you begin cutting out all the pieces.

 We cut out the templates and then traced them onto foam sheets. We then glued the templates to the foam sheets after cutting.
Once the pieces are cut, attach the tabs together to form an oval, and then attach the characters and letters as shown. To have the characters and letters pop out, apply a small piece of foam to the back of each pop-out piece.
Punch holes where indicated. Thread string or yarn through the holes, leaving enough string at the top of the sign to create a loop to hang the sign from.

 Once your door sign dries, display it on a door or any place your child decides.

There are many procedures available now to take signs of aging off your face and eyes. Now plastic surgeons have come up with a way to take those tell tale signs off your hands as well.
The procedure is called Fat Grafting, and can help make your hands look full again. The procedure only takes 45 minutes and uses a local anesthetic in the part of the body where the fat is being taken from.
Doctors then remove a few syringes of fat from the body and use that to plump up the hands.
Doctors say recovery from fat grafting is almost immediate. However, the procedure does carry a risk of bleeding or infection at the injection sites.
The procedure costs between $15 and $100. The procedure may need to be repeated every couple of years because the body eventually absorbs the fat cells.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1994 Summer Tour."
This wasnt a bad show pretty average for an interesting point in their career but more of a song-oriented than Jam-oriented show (and I am pretty much in the longer the better camp). As a personal recollection, the moments that stick out for me are the Scent of a Mule for which I had never heard a live version (and therefore ever heard the duel) and the Yerushalayim Shel Zahav which was haunting.
Listening to a pretty good audience tape of the show, however, I find nothing too out of the ordinary - on the high or low side - although it may be worth noting that this is the first of two times (7-10-03 @ Shoreline the other) that Rift is played as an encore.
The highlights are what you would expect Tweezer in Set I and Mikes Groove in Set II.
The short Tweezer has Trey with some pretty ferocious solos and maintains a dark groove throughout which is lightened by the > Lifeboy (which is nearly as long as the Tweezer itself).
Mikes has a pretty dark first jam which leads into simple. At this point it was debuted only two months earlier Simple was played out of Mikes, though it was not jet the middle of the groove sandwich it would later become, and goes back to Mikes for the second jam before preceding into Yerushalayim Shel Zahav which is really cool to hear. Listening to it now I recall this moment as giving me goose-bumps. The Weekapaugh has interesting mini-antelope and 2001 jams.
Now that I listen to it again, Slave brings it as well.

Photographer Ingenuity
Photograph by O.D. Von Engeln
On a 1910 National Geographic Society expedition, a photographer crouches by the shore of Yakutat Bay, Gulf of Alaska, to wash his film in the seawater. Faced with limited technology and assignments in remote places, National Geographic's early photographers devised ingenious methods to produce the best images.
Indigenous Cultures
Photograph from National Geographic Society Image Collection
A National Geographic milestone, this photograph of a Zulu bride and groom in Witwatersrand, South Africa, became the magazine's first picture of a bare-breasted woman when it was published in the November 1896 issue. The decision to run it set a precedent to publish photos of indigenous peoples "as they are."
Early Photo Series
Photograph by Dr. Joseph F. Rock
When Editor Gilbert Grosvenor needed to quickly fill pages of the upcoming January 1905 issue of National Geographic, he published an unprecedented 11 pages of pictures, including this photo of a 600-year-old monastery nestled on Tibet's Minya Konka mountain. It marked one of the earliest photographic series ever published.
Photograph by Bell Collection
Inventor and early National Geographic Society President Alexander Graham Bell created this tetrahedral truss kite, designed with three-dimensional triangles that could support considerable weight, in order to study aerodynamic design before attempting to build airplanes. Together with new National Geographic Editor Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Bell steered the magazine in a new direction, favoring more photography and popular coverage.
Archaeology Photos
Photograph by David E. Ford
Archaeologists discovered this mummy and skulls in a cave in Peru in 1915, during a joint National Geographic-Yale Peruvian expedition headed by Hiram Bingham. By bringing cameras to the field, National Geographic helped bring archaeology into people's homes through the pages of its magazine.
Underground Color Photos
Photograph by Jacob J. Gayer
The Dome Room in New Mexico's Carlsbad Cavern marked the first underground color photograph ever shot, published in the September 1925 issue of National Geographic. The Geographic has made a number of color photographic firsts, including the first undersea color photographs and the first color photographs from the air.
Aerial Color Photos
Photograph by Melville B. Grosvenor
National Geographic assistant editor Melville Bell Grosvenor made the first aerial color photograph when he took this shot of the Statue of Liberty by circling the monument in a Navy Airship ZM C2. The photograph, which was published in the September 1930 issue, led the National Geographic Society to adopt the Finlay process, then the newest method for producing color photographs.
Revisiting Past Subjects
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
Thirteen years after he was first photographed, a Guatemalan village mayor poses with a photo of himself taken by photographer David Alan Harvey in San Juan Atitán. Photographers in the field often form lasting relationships with their subjects and return to visit friends and revisit the past.

Administrative Office
Angela Nyul, Administrative Officer
NOAA ESRL Chemical Sciences Division
325 Broadway R/CSD1
Boulder, CO 80305 USA
The focus of the Administrative Office (AO) is manage both the day-to-day and long term administration of the Chemical Sciences Division, including such tasks as implementation of the financial budget, record keeping for and oversight of the divisional personal property, management of divisional time and attendance records, and oversight of divisional travel. The goal of the Administrative Office is to excel in the execution of these tasks, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the division.
To achieve this goal, the AO staff must remain cognizant of the administrative requirements from many organizational layers, such as the Department of Commerce (DoC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), and Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL).
In this role, the Administrative Office staff provide a bridge between the science staff and mission and the institutional business requirements, regulations, and practices.
Secretarial Staff
Secretarial staff in the division, while not organizationally included in the Administrative Office, work closely with AO staff to directly provide the research groups with the institutional support necessary for the science mission.
In doing so, the secretaries act as "adjunct" members of the Chemical Sciences Division Administrative Office, and complete the institutional communication and administration pathways that extend from the divisional research groups out to the larger organizational entities.

Lifestyle changes can be helpful in a variety of important ways:
Smoking is a known risk factor for many cancers. Although you may have already been diagnosed with cancer, it's not too late to stop smoking. When you
quit smoking
, you reduce your risk of its many associated medical complications. This should improve your chances of withstanding the physical stresses of cancer and treatment. The immune system of smokers is also generally less effective than nonsmokers. By quitting you may be adding to your immune system's ability to join in the battle against cancer.
Ask your doctor about programs to help you stop smoking. They may include group support, hypnosis, and alternative nicotine delivery systems.
Eating a healthful diet
may help you avoid other medical conditions linked to poor nutrition. Because cancer itself and some cancer treatment may have a dulling effect on your appetite, it's important that you make the most of the calories you do take in. Strongly consider consulting a registered dietitian (RD) to help you learn more about the best kinds of foods for you to eat, and how to eat other, less healthful foods in moderation. (Your doctor can refer you to a dietitian.) Avoid making drastic changes in your diet based on the latest fad diet.
If you have not been
exercising regularly
, check with your doctor to determine a safe exercise program under your current circumstances. Exercise has many benefits that may help you withstand the physical and emotional stresses of cancer and cancer treatment:
You may consider consulting a personal trainer to help you set exercise goals and to safely follow through on initiating an exercise program. While incorporating exercise, be sure to balance rest and activities to prevent becoming too tired.
The diagnosis of cancer is life-defining event that is difficult to handle for anyone. Facing the uncertainty of a serious disease, feeling anxious about how you will feel during treatment, and worrying about the impact of both the diagnosis and treatment on your plans and your family and friends can take a devastating toll that no one should have to tackle on their own. Give yourself permission to call on any helpful resources, including the following:
People who allow themselves to
seek help
while they are recovering from cancer can often maintain better emotional equilibrium, which will help them face the challenges of cancer and its treatment.
To decrease your risk of infection, avoid exposure to bacteria and viruses:
It's important that you don't make major lifestyle changes without consulting your doctor and verifying that you are proceeding safely. You are already being physically and emotionally challenged by the presence of cancer and the rigors of treatment. You and your doctor need to work together to make wise lifestyle choices and implement them in the healthiest way possible. Your doctor can provide referrals to a registered dietitian, personal trainer, therapist, and support group.

VOLUME 7 NUMBER 2 NEW MOON OF THE BITTERROOT MAY 15, 1977 HUNTING RIGHTS Treaty Rights Upheld by Court The Montana Supreme Court has upheld a discision by a lower District Court in the case of the State of Montana U.S. Lasso Stasso, a tribal member. The Court found in favor of Stasso. Stasso had been convicted in a Justice Court in Sanders County for the violation of a state game law. The tribal member had been hunting area off the present reservation boundaries. He shot a deer on August 24,1972, (The exact location being the White Pine Creek Area located west of Thompson Falls). Stasso was arrested by a Montana State Game Warden for Illegally taking a deer out of season. Stasso appealed the original on January 27, 1975, to the District Court in Sanders County. Judge Green granted a dismissal of the case in July of 1975, based on expert witness testimony of Dr. Carling Malouf, Professor at the University of Montana. Dr. Malouf proved to the court that the area in question was clearly within the aboriginal hunting area of the tribes, as stated in the Hellgate Treaty.......... "The exclusive right of taking fish in all the streams running through or boarding said reservation is further secured to said Indians, as is also the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed hunting places, in common with citizens of the territory, and of errecting temporary buildings for curing; together with the priviledge of hunting, gathering roots and berries, and pasturing" their horses and cattle upon open and unclaimed lands." UPHELD IN COURT Judge Green concluded, that in the first District Appeal Decision, that the provisions of the treaty of Hellgate are superior to the reserved power of the state, including the police power. In the recent Supreme Court Decision, Justice John Conway Harrison noted the treaty gave rights to unregulated hunting on " open and unclaimed land" to the Indians. He said the land in question qualified under that provision. He further concluded that, " Land owned or occupied by private parties is in no way open and unclaimed with the contemplation of this treaty." DISTRICT MEETING MAY 18 There will be a reservation wide district meeting on May 18, 7:00 pm at the St. Ignatius Community Center The topic for discussion will be Montana Power's proposed right-of-way across the reservation for their construction of the two 500 kilo-volt transmission lines. The Tribal Council has a meeting set with Montana Power to discuss the right-of-way and will need input by the tribal members in order to make their decision. All tribal members are urged to attend that meeting date again is Wed. evening May 18, 7:00 pm at the St. Ignatius Community Center, for a reservation- Wide District Meeting. Water Act Is A Threat The Safe Drinking Water Amendment Act of 1977 poses a dangerous threat to Indian sovereignty and water rights. The bill would require that all water projects now maintained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs comply with all state, local and federal requirements. A direct attack of Indian sovereignty. It also would require that any activities resulting in underground injection shall also comply with any state, local and federal requirements. This would affect the activities of tribes, such as the Blackfeet, Osage, Jicarillo-Apache, and Navajo, who are now engaged in tertiary recovery of oil. In addition, all records concerning Indian water projects would be under state and local controll. continued FLATHEAD RIVER CLOSED The Flathead river is now closed to motorized boats until June 1st, by order of the Confederate Salish & Kootenai Tribal Council. This is the annual nesting season for geese on the Flathead River, and there have been many complaints of persons harrassing the geese and upsetting recently constructed nesting areas. The river is closed to the motorized boats between Flathead Lake and its confluence with the Clarks Fork River below Paradise. The river will again be opened on June 1,1977.

A home on Shady Hill Road in Middle Smithfield Township was broken into on April 5 but the burglary plot was most probably foiled by a neighbor.
Pennsylvania State Police gave the following account:
Around 7:40 p.m., a neighbor saw three dogs running around in the yard of the house that was broken into. The neighbor called the homeowner to tell him that his dogs were loose. The homeowner sent his daughter to get the dogs back in the house. Once the daughter showed up, two men scurried out of the back door of the house and took off on a blue and white dirt bike.

The Dyson-Baudo Recreation Complex at Marietta College was packed Sunday as friends and family witnessed the conferring of degrees on 340 members of the institution's Class of 2013.
Keynote speaker for the 176th commencement was author and investigative reporter Carl Bernstein who, along with fellow journalist Bob Woodward, won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the Watergate scandal when they worked for the Washington Post in the 1970s.
Marietta College President Joseph Bruno said Bernstein's appearance at the commencement was in keeping with this year's theme of leadership and social justice.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Keynote speaker for Marietta College's 2013 commencement celebration was Carl Bernstein, author and investigative reporter who shared a Pulitzer Prize with fellow Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward for their coverage of the 1970s Watergate scandal.
Bernstein started off his remarks by admitting he was a college dropout.
"I made the decision in the early 1960s to drop out of the University of Maryland," he said. "And that decision set me on the professional path I've been on for many years."
Bernstein noted he had to work his way up in the news business, receiving a hands-on journalistic education in the newsroom of the former Washington Star.

Dr. Joseph Bruno presided over his first commencement at Marietta College since becoming college president in July 2012.
Keynote speaker for Sunday's event was Carl Bernstein, author and investigative reporter who shared a Pulitzer Prize with fellow Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward for their coverage of the 1970s Watergate scandal.
"I grew up in that newsroom where most of the other journalists were much older than I," he said, adding that he learned much from those veteran writers.
But not finishing his college education was a hindrance to getting his career off the ground, Bernstein said, adding that he's somewhat envious of students like those graduating from Marietta College who have completed their degrees.
"You've learned the right lessons here, and not just in the classroom," he said. "And this is a great opportunity to take a look back at what your parents and teachers have done to bring you here today."
Speaking of his chosen profession, Bernstein said the national press exists for the public good, not just to create controversy, and to give readers the best obtainable version of the truth.
"It's clear something's not working right in journalism today," he said. "In my lifetime the notion of 'the public good' has been undermined."
But Bernstein added that he has seen a desire in the current generation to see that change.
"The 'best obtainable version of the truth' seems to be the challenge for your generation, because that's where my generation has failed," he said. "Politics are out of touch. It's a cacaphony of name-calling and ideological warfare.
"But with your values and your smarts and concern for social justice, I'm convinced your generation won't fall for untruths," Bernstein added. "The great challenge is to make this again a country in which everybody has a chance to succeed."
Bruno urged the graduates to be as successful as they can be, but also not to forget to be generous to those who are less fortunate.
He also encouraged the Class of 2013 to continue learning throughout their lives, and quoted Sir Winston Churchill who said, "Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught."
Sabrina Wittekind, 24, of Marietta was among the 340 graduates who received diplomas Sunday.
"I'm receiving my masters degree in corporate media," she said as she waited for Sunday's ceremonies to begin.
Wittekind said her class would be the last to graduate as the masters in corporate media program is being discontinued at Marietta College. She's one of seven who obtained their masters degrees in that discipline this year.
Conversely, Josh Askew, 22, of Melvin Village, N.H., was graduating with a degree in sports management as a member of the first class to receive a degree in that program.
"The program started when I was in my sophomore year," he said. "And it's kind of exciting to be one of the first to graduate in sports management, which has become one of the biggest majors in the school's business department."
Asked if the last four years were a challenge, Askew said yes.
"But I've loved every minute of it and wouldn't change anything," he said.
Stephen Brakey, 21, of Shaker Heights, near Cleveland, received his degree in theatre arts Sunday afternoon.
"I'm going to Pittsburgh this summer to work in the Pittsburgh Classical Theatre as an apprentice in stage management," he said. "I had a minor in management and hope to run my own theatre some day."
A message written on top of 22-year-old Emily Ciocca's mortarboard said "Believe you can and you're halfway there-thanks mom and dad."
The Indiana, Pa., communication studies graduate said she's also headed to Pittsburgh to look for a job this summer, but added that she'll miss the college life.
"It's been great here," Ciocca said. "It's really sad to be leaving."

2.7 Introduction to General Defenses
Revised to November 6, 2014
The defenses codified in the Penal Code are not intended to preclude recognition of any defenses or aspects of the statutory defenses available at common law not inconsistent with the statutory provisions. General Statutes § 53a-4. See State v. Havican, 213 Conn. 593, 599 (1990) (construing "great bodily harm" in 53a-19 (a) as consistent with common-law rule of deadly force); State v. Shaw, 185 Conn. 372, 379 (1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1155, 102 S.Ct. 1027, 71 L.Ed.2d 312 (1982) (incorporating co-dweller exception into duty to retreat); State v. Messler, 19 Conn. App. 432, 436-37 (1989) (recognizing common-law defense of necessity).
The following defenses are general defenses: ignorance or mistake, intoxication, renunciation of criminal purpose, duress, entrapment, justification, renunciation of criminal purpose in a conspiracy charge. See State v. Rouleau, 204 Conn. 240, 249 n.12 (1987) (correcting dicta in State v. Rosado, 178 Conn. 704, 708 (1979)).
Burden of proof
General Statutes § 53a-12 (a) places the burden on the state to disprove a general defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
When instruction is required
A defendant is entitled, as a matter of law, to a requested jury instruction on a defense if there is sufficient evidence of the defense. State v. Lewis, 220 Conn. 602, 618-19 (1991); State v. Havican, 213 Conn. 593, 597 (1990); State v. Fuller, 199 Conn. 273, 278 (1986). "A defendant must, however, assert a recognized legal defense before such a charge will become obligatory. A claim of innocence or a denial of participation in the crime charged is not a legally recognized defense and does not entitle a defendant to a theory of defense charge." State v. Rosado, 178 Conn. 704, 707 (1979). In State v. Baltas, 311 Conn. 786, 814-18 (2014), the Supreme Court refused to require courts to instruct the jury on any theory of defense with a foundation in the evidence. "We are satisfied that our law under Rosado, when combined with the requirement that trial courts must adequately instruct juries on each essential element of each crime for which the defendant is being prosecuted, adequately protects the defendant's right to present a defense." Id., 818.
The standard for determining whether the evidence is sufficient to entitle the defendant to an instruction differs between general and affirmative defenses. A defendant is entitled to have the jury instructed on any general defense "for which there is any foundation in the evidence, no matter how weak or incredible." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Havican, 213 Conn. 593, 597 (1990). The defendant's constitutional right to present a defense "includes a proper jury instruction on the elements of the defense . . . so that the jury may ascertain whether the state has met its burden of disproving it beyond a reasonable doubt." State v. Fuller, 199 Conn. 273, 278 (1986).
A defendant is entitled to a requested instruction on an affirmative defense "only if there is sufficient evidence for a rational juror to find that all the elements of the defense are established by a preponderance of the evidence." State v. Person, 236 Conn. 342, 353 (1996); State v. Small, 242 Conn. 93, 102-103 (1997) (same is true regardless of whether defendant or state requested instruction).
Inconsistent defenses
"Generally, inconsistent defenses may be interposed in a criminal case. . . . That a defense is interposed which is inconsistent with the defendant's alibi theory does not preclude an instruction as to that defense. . . . The fact that one defense is on the theory that the accused did not commit the offense, as where he relies on alibi, does not deprive him of the right to avail himself of other defenses . . . . To compel a defendant to admit guilt in order to invoke a defense effectively relieves the prosecution of proving his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and frustrates the assertion of the defense itself and undermines its policy." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted). State v. Harris, 189 Conn. 268, 273 (1983); see also State v. Folson, 10 Conn. App. 643, 649 (1987). A defendant is entitled to an instruction on the defense of self-defense if the evidence warrants it, even if the evidence would also support a claim of innocence because of an unintentional or accidental shooting. State v. Miller, 55 Conn. App. 298, 301 (1999), cert. denied, 252 Conn. 923 (2000). "[A] jury may be instructed on a requested defense theory, even if the defendant has testified to facts that contradict the requested charge, if there is sufficient evidence to warrant the instruction." State v. Person, 236 Conn. 342, 348 (1996).

ANTIOCH -- A stray bullet fired from the street in the city's crime-ridden Sycamore Drive corridor struck a 31-year-old woman who was with her young son in a bedroom Monday night, police said, alarming residents and city officials who have become accustomed to gunplay in the area.
The woman's injury was not life-threatening, police said, and the child, whom police guess was between 5 and 7 years old, was not injured.
The shooting was reported around 6:05 p.m. near Sycamore Drive and Manzanita Way, according to a news release. Witnesses told arriving officers that a man had been standing in the street on Manzanita, shooting at a pickup truck as it drove past him.
A stray bullet apparently went through a second-story window of an apartment building in the 1400 block of Sycamore and struck the woman in the cheek, Lt. Pat Welch said. She is expected to fully recover, police said.
Police did not report any arrests related to the shooting.
Neighborhood residents interviewed Tuesday morning were not surprised to hear about a shooting in an area of the city where gunfire is common, but the circumstances of a mom being hit in her home added a degree of shock.
Lucy Mancia, who lives up the street from the multifamily unit struck by the stray bullet, said she's heard six episodes of gunfire in the vicinity since moving into the area in November.
On Monday night, Mancia heard "four shots, then two more." The thought of a mother being shot inside her home while with her young child is "very scary," she said.
"I know I'm nervous when my daughter hasn't come home and it's dark, and she's older," Mancia said.
Led by Mayor Wade Harper, Antioch has been working to create a committee of area residents, officials and faith-based leaders to focus on reducing violence in the Sycamore corridor.
Harper said his heart goes out to the mother, and he's glad to hear she is doing OK, noting similar incidents have sometimes yielded tragic results, such as a stray bullet that left a young Oakland boy paralyzed in 2008.
Unfortunately, he said, having a shooting in the Sycamore neighborhood isn't surprising.
"The first thing I thought about was 'How many of us were surprised?' Probably nobody in the community. I know I wasn't," Harper said. "We need to reset our expectations to where we don't expect (incidents) like this to happen."
Mancia agrees.
"It's just people are going crazy around here. It's kind of dangerous," she said, adding that she often sees drug deals out in the open and other illicit activity in the area.
Harper is also planning to hold a community crime-prevention forum at 6 p.m. Feb. 28 at Antioch High School's Beede Auditorium, to talk about the city's crime problem and how residents can work together to improve the situation.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call 925-779-6939. Tips can also be texted to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword ANTIOCH.

Combating Counterfeit Medicines Is a Global Effort
Combating Counterfeit Medicines Is a Global Effort
02.28.13 | By Scott LaGanga
With nearly 5,000 medicines in the pipeline, it's obvious America's biopharmaceutical sector is on the cusp of life-saving breakthroughs every day. While our nation's researchers and innovators deserve much applause for their efforts, we can't forget another important factor that plays a critical role in protecting public health: patient safety.
Recognizing the importance of the issue, today the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) and the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI), will host a briefing on the current global counterfeit problem "The Danger of False Profits: The Threat of Counterfeits to Public Health." Along with leading voices in industry and academia, I'm honored to speak at the event on behalf of the Partnership for Safe Medicines.
The current international counterfeit drug market is growing and increasingly poses a direct threat to patients in the United States. While Asia currently dominates the counterfeit market, commerce makes local problems global. For example, a teenager in Boston can make a purchase from a Canadian online source and subsequently receive medicines made in China, but shipped from Barbados.
But the common channels used to expose Americans to counterfeit drugs may come as a shock. Over the past 18 months, Americans have received fake medications through the following outlets:
- Doctors' Offices: In total, the FDA has warned more than 370 doctors in 38 states that they may have purchased counterfeit medications for their patients' care.
- Brick and Mortar Pharmacies: Black marketers have sold stolen and mishandled medication back into unscrupulous pharmacies. Last year, a specialty pharmacy was prosecuted for selling diverted HIV medication worth millions.
- Fake Online Pharmacies: In 2012 alone, in the US there were five separate prosecutions for counterfeit medications sales via fake online pharmacies.
Without global cooperation, we cannot protect patient safety when it's so easy for criminals to take advantage of national boundaries. A truly global effort to educate patients is what is required to eradicate this global health risk. Our children, our families and our countries require us to battle the problem of counterfeits for their safety and well-being. It's an issue that industry, government, patients and stakeholders worldwide need to continue to address together.

WASHINGTON (November 10, 2012)--Tuesday's election drove home the demographic trends that have been embedded in the fine print of birth rates and immigration statistics for years.
The country is getting more diverse.
Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000.
Much of that growth comes from Hispanics.
The trend helped Barack Obama for two elections in a row now.
Mr. Obama won 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters this year while challenger Mitt Romney lost even though he dominated among white men, who make up an ever-shrinking slice of America.
Another trend is that there are more single women, because of divorce and later marriage.
Single women are more likely to say they are Democrats.

HOUSTON, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball team picked up its 19th win of the season on Monday night, taking a 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-16) final over the Prairie View A&M Panthers on the road. The team will finish its road schedule for the year on Tuesday night in a 6:30 p.m. against the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks.
The Islanders (19-9) picked up the third consecutive win after losing three straight, and look to carry the momentum into the final Southland Conference road match of the year on Tuesday night against SFA. Prairie View (11-19) has one match left before starting play in the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament next week.
Logen Bourque led the Islanders with 24 assists and seven digs, while Shannon Hullum was tops in kills with nine. Brianna Brink finished the night with seven kills and Ashley Phelps had five against the Panthers.
In the opening set, the Islanders fell behind by a 6-1 score on an attack that included three PVAM service aces, but the team would rally to take the lead behind kills from Courtney Hall and Tyger Holt to get within one, and Brink came up with back-to-back kills to make it a 12-11 lead for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. The team would never trail after that point as two straight kill by Hullum made it a 14-12 score and forced a Panthers timeout.
Brink added a service ace after the break to make it a 15-12 score, and the Islanders would go on to finish it 25-19 with Hullum providing the final kill for the 1-0 lead.
In set two it was the Islanders who came out fast, taking a 4-1 lead and never trailing on the way to a 2-0 lead. A kill by Holt, a block assist by Holt and Haley Satterwhite, and a Micah Nolan service ace put the team on top to stay in the early going. The lead would stretch to as many as six point on a block solo from Hall to make it 18-12, and another block solo, this time by Brink, ended the set at 25-18 for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi.
The final set was another in which the Islanders would never trail, with the closest the Panthers would come to taking a lead being at 3-3 in the early going. A kill by Holt, a Brink service ace, a Satterwhite kill and a block solo by Hullum made it 7-3 and gave the Islanders a margin they would not relinquish.
The Panthers closed to within two points on multiple occasions, but a run at 12-10 made it a five-point lead at 15-10 behind a Brink kill and a block solo by Holt. After PVAM closed to within three points at 19-16, six straight points finish the match with a 25-16 Islanders win.
Satterwhite started the final run with a kill, with kills from Hall and Brittney Church following to expand the advantage. After a pair of attack errors made it match point at 24-16, Alexis Fritz served up an ace to clinch the match for the Islanders.
Next up for the Islanders will be the Tuesday night match against SFA in Nacogdoches. After that final road match, the team will return home for the final two matches of the year against Lamar and McNeese State. Senior Shannon Hullum will be recognized before the match against McNeese State, as she is the lone senior on the 2012 Islanders team.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu, Public Information Officer (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com (Carson City, NV; December 19, 2013) – The warm feeling that comes with giving to a worthy cause might be the only good effect of your generosity if you don't take the time to make sure the charity your supporting is a legitimate one, according to Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller. The Secretary of State's office is reminding Nevadans that not every solicitation for charity is legitimate, especially during the holiday season. "Unfortunately, for scammers it's become a holiday tradition to take advantage of people's generosity by soliciting donations for less than reputable and even non-existent charities and causes," said Miller. "It's the time of year when we all want to do a little more, but don't let the holiday spirit replace your better judgment when it comes to holiday giving. There are resources for checking on charities that you're not familiar with or have questions about." Whether the solicitations come by mail, email, telephone or in person, there are warning signs to look for when you are asked for a donation:
Non-profit organizations must be registered with the Secretary of State's office as a nonprofit or foreign non-profit entity. Before making a charitable contribution, verify a nonprofit's status by checking the Secretary of State's website, www.nvsos.gov, or asking the charity for its Nevada business identification number. Current registration, however, is no guarantee that the business is doing legitimate charitable work as represented. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers easy-to-use resources at http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0074-giving-charity#Signs. Beginning January 2014, a new law passed by the Nevada Legislature (AB 60) requires non-profit corporations that solicit charitable contributions to register with the Nevada Secretary of State's office. Under the new law, every nonprofit organization intending to solicit tax-deductible contributions must register with the Secretary of State before soliciting contributions. The registry, which will be accessible to the public through the Secretary of State's website, will include names and telephone numbers of officers; the organization's federal tax number; the purpose of the organization; and, its federal financial reports. In the meantime, however, well-meaning givers should beware. "Just because the Grinch is wearing a red Santa hat doesn't make him one of the good guys," said Miller.

Irish-born Civil War-era photographer Timothy H. O'Sullivan was born in 1840 and emigrated to the United States two years later. Though he died of tuberculosis at just 42 years of age, he left behind a fascinating collection of images captured during the war and afterwards as the United States expanded west.

As a teenager, O'Sullivan apprenticed with photographic pioneer Matthew Brady. When war was declared in 1861, he enlisted in the Union Army and took photographs in his spare time.

After being discharged in 1862, O'Sullivan rejoined Brady's team. Later that year, he followed Maj. Gen. John Pope's Northern Virginia Campaign. O'Sullivan joined forces with Scottish photographer Alexander Gardner (himself a former Brady photographer) and published 44 of his images in Gardner's "Photographic Sketch Book of the War."

In July 1863, O'Sullivan captured his most famous image, which he titled "The Harvest of Death." The haunting photograph depicts the Gettysburg battlefield strewn with the bodies of dead soldiers.

After the war, O'Sullivan served as the official photographer for the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel from 1867 to 1869. His assignment was to capture images of the American West that would attract settlers. He created an important record of prehistoric ruins, Native American weavers and pueblo villages.
In 1867, O'Sullivan traveled to Virginia City, Nevada to document the activities at the Savage and the Gould and Curry mines on the Comstock Lode. Working nine hundred feet underground, O'Sullivan photographed the miners in tunnels, shafts, and lifts. (Timothy O'Sullivan/National Archives and Records Administration)

ALAMEDA -- Mighty forces arrive in large and small packages, a truth never more profoundly evident than at the Lazarex Cancer Foundation's "Battle for a Lifetime" gala.
Making his way on Saturday across the vast expanse of the USS Hornet's hangar bay, Louis Zamperini, the 95-year-old World War II prisoner of war survivor whose life became the subject of author Laura Hillenbrand's New York Times bestseller, "Unbroken," appeared tiny.
But his dramatic story, told by "60 Minutes" correspondent Bob Simon in a 30-minute video played before his introduction as the headline speaker, formed a towering example of fortitude and forgiveness.
After 47 days in a scarcely supplied raft on the South Pacific, two years of unimaginable torture at the hands of prison guards in Japanese prisoner of war camps and a recovery that included wrestling his inner demons with alcohol as his primary tool, Zamperini emerged: small in stature, but majestic in manner.
The evening reminded the estimated 430 guests that victory in war can be attributed to imposing military machines like the Hornet but more often life's hardest battles are won by courageous, individual men and women.
Cancer, the pernicious opponent of the foundation's patients, also presents itself in microscopic proportions. Left unchecked, its capacity to obliterate human life increases. The foundation positions itself as the victor in the war on cancer. President Dana Dornsife founded Lazarex in 2006 to assist cancer patients who have been told no viable treatment options remain. By providing resources to cover travel, lodging, unreimbursed X-rays and lab work, the nonprofit organization helps patients to participate in FDA clinical trials. A Diversity Impact Program reaches underserved communities and populations traditionally reluctant to participate in clinical trials.
"It started with Dana, me, Susan (Sappington, director of development) and two oncologists," said Halle Hart, Rockridge resident and board member. "We're all passionate about the cause, but without Dana, there'd be no Lazarex."
Hart added: "We're not just giving hope, we're giving real time."
Still, winning the battle is more than treatment, and Dornsife brought Zamperini from his home in Hollywood to highlight the need for continued warfare.
"Turn your head, look at the person on your left, then look at the person on your right," she said after Zamperini's brief question-and-answer session with the audience. "Cancer will take one of you. Cancer doesn't give a patient a choice, but Lazarex does."
Zamperini began his talk in the usual fashion, inviting military veterans to stand for applause. Skipping the terrain covered by the video, he dove into recollections of repatriation and repairing his postwar, tormented soul.
Refreshingly, the stories were full of humor and Zamporini's incorrigible love of food. Once, stopped for an interview by a Time magazine reporter with the power to get him quickly out of Yokohama, Zamperini could only think of one thing.
"Not escape," he said, laughing at the memory. "All I could think of was how much I wanted those doughnuts."
Eventually reunited with his family at home, he learned he was entitled to travel pay for the time he was lost at sea. He sent the military a bill for 47 days at the $7.60 per day rate.
"My request was denied," he recalled. "The reply said, 'Travel unauthorized.'"
Aside from the night's highlights -- Zamperini's heroic life story, a full harvest moon, music, fine food and airplanes, there were the lyrics of a song and a final missive from Zamperini.
"It takes courage to fight another man's war," Dornsife said, quoting a World War II standard.
"Have a cheerful countenance at all times," Zamperini said. "When you do, your white blood cells go up. If you're angry, they go down. So be cheerful."

Area briefs: Upstate's Alexander named A-Sun Player of Week
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:49 a.m.
After having a hand in four of the Spartans' five wins last week, standout USC Upstate pitcher Hannah Alexander has been named the A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.
Alexander, a junior from Lexington, N.C., was simply solid last week in leading the Spartans to a 5-0 week and extending their overall winning streak to seven games and their A-Sun winning streak to 10 games. She finished the week 3-0 with a save and 18 strikeouts.
SOUTH CAROLINA: In Columbia, South Carolina senior shortstop Samie Garcia went with the 14th overall selection in the 2013 National Pro Fastpitch Draft, joining the NY/NJ Comets as their fourth-round selection.
Garcia leads South Carolina in nine offensive categories in 2013, a year after earning a spot on the CollegeSportsMadness.com All-SEC second team. In her first two years in Columbia, she led the Gamecocks in runs twice and hits, on-base percentage and stolen bases once each.

Dear friends !
After living in a warm / hot climate all year round for the last twenty years, I am going to move to the northern hemisphere by the end of the year. So far I was able to cycle outdoors 12 months a year, now this will change, and I am considering the purchase of an indoor trainer.
I am a multiple Ironman finisher and have some experience in Triathlon, but unfortunately I have no experience with INDOOR BIKE TRAINERS.
My questions:
I am doing roughly around 4.500 miles a year.
Thanks for your help !
Welcome to the north! I have used various trainers for 30+ years as I live in snow/rain country during the winter. Bicycling magazine probably has some reviews in the fall, maybe even currently on their website archives. Roadbikereview.com has various forums that people can weigh in on with their experiences. What to look for:
Depending on your budget, you can find basic ones for under a hundred dollars and Computrainers run over $1500.00! Most of the trainers, except the computer ones, won't give you distance. You may be able to switch a front wheel sensor for a bike computer to the rear to get speed and distance (even if you haven't moved an inch).
That's great information, thank you my friend
My key race for 2012: http://www.challenge-roth.com/
Here's a pretty good website that gives a a more in-depth discussion on the various trainer types and recommendations: http://biketrainerreviews.com/
I bought a Computrainer last year. Although I live in Texas, where it's nice and warm (today? 109 degrees, thanksverymuch), I also work for a living, and on winter weekdays I needed a trainer since I am not too fond of riding in the dark! I agonized over the cost, but IMO it was well worth it. I used it a LOT training for my first 70.3 and now I plan to use it to train for my first full Ironman.
You hook your own bike up to it, of course (I actually use my "back up" bike on the trainer, so I don't have to deal with the hassle of hooking it up each time), and I recommend byuing a rear trainer wheel as the friction can tear up a good tire quickly. It's pretty easy to follow the directions to set it up. A large computer screen helps because you are looking at at computer model of the ride you choose. If you have a big screen TV that is computer attachable (I don't) that would be even more awesome.
The downsides are that the computer model views are pretty boring (they only have about six different scenes that play over and over again--I got really tired of never reaching that paddleboat in the distance), but you can now buy actual video of real races to plug in (I just bought St. Croix 70.3 but haven't tried it yet), and that even with a lot of calibration, your times and speed are not going to be equal to what you ride outside, even factoring in that you don't have wind and heat and pedestrians (the program allows you to add a windspeed, but all that means is a percentage drag on the flywheel, which as you know, just ain't the same feeling as pedaling into a 35 mph wind). I find the speeds and times are slower on the trainer than my outside riding speed, so I have learned to adjust that mentally. Some of the courses are fun to try (they track lots of famous rides and races) and some are weird, but there are plenty to choose from. The computer picks the flywheel tension for you based on the race route--uphill is more tension, downhill less, as you can probably figure.
The system also calibrates your pedal stroke and speed, but I've had a lot of technical trouble with that part of the system and have spent more time on the phone with Computrainer than I would like on that part. Sometimes I just blow it off, and you probably know your cadence anyway by now so that may not be a big factor for you.
If you are going to spend a lot of time on a trainer, like you probably will, this one may be worth the $$ for you.
Don't despair! Next August you will be out riding comfortably while those of us in Texas are sweating the 109 degrees.
One more thing: get a good fan, preferably a model on a stand. You will sweat buckets and not have the wind blowing on as you ride down the road. Ok, a second thing; a rubber floor mat helps keep the noise down, especially on hard floors, and keeps your sweat, chain oil, gatorade, etc, from messing up the floor.

Spare 110 rd AK Series Mid Cap Magazine by King Arms
$ 9.99
Spare 110 rd AK Series Mid Cap Magazine by King Arms - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- 110rd AK King Arms magSweet! Finally for my AEG, a cheap mag with a good capacity that's not a high-cap mag! Before this mag i did not have any mid-caps for my AEG, causing problems when being sneaky or night missions, as high-caps rattle. Problem solved! You may find cheaper mags at sporting goods stores, but i bought one and it broke within a day or two, no joke. Before this, your options for mid-caps was a echo 1 50rd and 130rd for $20 and $25. That was a rip-off in my opinion. You could also get a 100rd for 12, but that was an AK74 mag, and i think they look funny in an AK47. And for me the 30rd star was just if you wanted realism. Although you can get a mag with metal, i really don't care about that, i just care if it works.
So you want a mid-cap that works well and doesn't empty your wallet? Here it is!
Get this mag!
- Great in theory...I don't own these myself, but my friend does and I have spoken with people who used to, so most of this is based on what they had to say.
First off, they look pretty good. You can tell they are plastic up close, but the mold lines are not very visible. The finish is matted a bit, so it probably shines like a blued steel magazine. Texture is not completely smooth, seems kind of rough, which I like.
Feeding is where it looses points. Even after lubing and working it in with a couple loads, it feeds rather irregularly. My friend found he had to slap the mag against something nearly every 20 rounds to make it feed. Other people reported similar issues. Of the 4 my friend bought, one broke (cap that holds the spring in), all feed like I described above most of the time, and one showed signs of splitting in half.
IMHO, they just proved to be too unreliable. I would look for a different midcap brand.
- Hit or missI use these mags in my Echo1 Vector Arms. At first I got three just to have them for the midcap rules games around my way. The first time that I went to use them, one of the caps that holds the spring in went flying off the first time that I tried to load it. The other two worked great, so I decided to pick up five more. This time I had one with the spring stuck down in it, and for the life of me, I can't get it to come back out. Overall, if you can load them once, they should last you for quite a while. For the price I can't complain, I have almost no issues with misfires, and if I loose one, I don't care. So take this review for what it is, an honest one.
- Spare 110 rd AK Series Mid Cap Magazine by King Arms These mags in my opinion are good for the price and somewhat durable, but they do have their flaws. I bought 2 of these mags for my echo 1 red star ak-47 and i was happy that they were compatible. These are made from a very durable plastic and hold 110 bbs, and they are good for stealth operations. They sometimes miss-feed and jam but that's the thing with mid caps. Also, it is very had to load these mags if you don't have a speed loader so that's another thing. But the price is appropriate and affordable.
110 rds (Appropriate mid cap size)
Noise (little or no noise. perfect for stealth operations)
Price ($10 is an excellent deal for a mag like this)
Compatibility (can be used in echo 1 guns and similar brands)
Sometimes miss-feeds
Hard to load without a speed loader
Expanding spring may sometimes come out.(I forgot to mention this. With mid caps, bbs are fed by an expanding spring that pushes bbs to the loading hole. To access the spring, you must turn the plastic screw on the mag 90 degrees and the spring will come out. It may do this on its own due to intense game play.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review, and until next time, take no prisoners comrades!
- Good and cheap!HI caps can be both expensive and loud when playing, so i decided to buy a few of these. They are awesome and certainly serve their purpose!

Profile of the much respected vocalist and sonero Hermán Olivera.
by John Child (
Olivera, Hermán
30 Jan. '59, Newark, New Jersey, USA; of Puerto Rican parentage) In demand sonero and hand percussionist. Grew up listening to Cuarteto Mayarí, Felipe Rodríguez, Tito Rodríguez, Machito, Ismael Rivera, Cortijo y su Combo, Bobby Capo, among others. Decided at age nine to pursue a musical career after seeing NYC Latin bands perform at local festivals. He tried to master the guitar and trombone, but discovered that singing and memorising lyrics was his forte. His influences incl. soneros Héctor Lavoe, Ismael Rivera, Cheo Feliciano, Chamaco Ramírez, Tito Rodríguez, Machito and Beny Moré, and the bolero exponents Vicentico Valdés, Gilberto Monroig, Santos Colón and La Lupe.
He made his pro debut with La Justicia '75, playing at local schools, weddings, clubs, etc. He left La Justicia to join La Sonica, a two trombone group featuring trombonist Jimmy Bosch (
18 Oct. '59, Hoboken NJ), timbalero Edwin Bonilla and conguero Roberto Carrero, which lasted two or three years before disbanding. Then he returned to La Justicia, renamed Conjunto Caramelo, together with La Sonica's former director/pianist Alex Vélez.
Hermán's career changed direction the night Caramelo opened at a gig featuring Bobby Rodríguez y La Nueva Compañia, Ismael Rivera and Libre at St. Bridges Church, Jersey City. Caramelo were on form that night, witnessed by Libre's triumvirate of Manny Oquendo, Andy and Jerry González. Libre's sole lead singer, Tony "Pupy Cantor" Torres, took Hermán's phone number because the group had a vacancy for a second vocalist. A few months later, a call from Andy resulted in Hermán's debut gig with Libre at the Bronx's La Epoca on 29 Sept. '79.
He made his recording debut with Libre, sharing lead vocals with Pupy on
'81 on Salsoul. They switched to Montuno for
Ritmo, Sonido y Estilo
'83, featuring Hermán's swinging interpretation of the classic "Que Humanidad", co-written by the incredibly prolific Cuban composer Ñico Saquito (1902-1982). Meanwhile Hermán started freelancing with bandleaders such as Ray Barretto (following Ray de la Paz's departure in '82); though, to date, he has not recorded with him.
In '88 Hermán shared lead vocals with former Conjunto Crema singer Roberto "Dofy" Mier on
La Exclusiva
on Marcando by the band of the same name, co-led by bassist Marcos Quintanilla, who directed Conjunto Crema in the early '80s. Hermán shone on Oscar Hernández's arrangement of Chucho Valdés' "Xiomara", which he reprised on
Pa'l Bailador
'01 on Morrowland by Johnny Polanco y su Conjunto Amistad. He sang lead vocals on two tracks of
Valdésa Records Presenta Vol. l: Salsa Sudada
'90 (reissued on Osagaji), an all-star album featuring Papaíto (1923-2000), Melcochita, Adalberto Santiago, Yayo El Indio (
1919-2000), Isidro Infante and others.
Libre organised their own sessions '91, half of which were initially issued as
on the small AMO label '94, and then reissued under the same title on Milestone. The rest of the '91 sessions surfaced on
Los New Yorkiños
'00 on Milestone with Hermán's original lead vocals substituted by Jorge Maldonado and Xiomara Lougart (on one track). Although his coro vocals survived, they were not credited. Also in '91, Hermán and other Libre personnel performed on "Descarga de Turre", a track on Steve Turre's
Right There
on Antilles.
During a break from Libre beginning in '91, Hermán worked with Cruz Control, a swinging outfit co-led by percussionist Ray Cruz and pianist Sergio Rivera (he sang coro on
Cruz Control
'97 on Eva Records); Johnny Pacheco (he sang coro on one track of Johnny's
'93 on Fania); and appeared in Cachao's Mambo & Descarga concerts of '92-3 and Andy García's feature length documentary on Cachao:
Cachao: Como Su Ritmo No Hay Dos
'92. His solo debut,
Chequea La Mercancia
'93 on Dis-Sal, accompanied by La Exclusiva, was a flop. Hermán cites lack of promotion as the reason, though it helped him get gigs.
Hermán returned to Libre '95 to share lead vocals with Frankie Vázquez (
6 Jan. '58, Guayama, Puerto Rico). Both figured in the band's second visit to London (at The Forum, 27 Oct. '96), which marked Hermán's UK debut, and on their Milestone follow-up
On The Move! (Muevete!)
'96 recorded live at Bimbo's 365 Club, San Francisco, May '96.
He shared lead vocals on
Evoluciónes del Son
'96 on Catman by Rikoson All Stars. He featured on Jimmy Bosch's bandleading debut
Soneando Trombón
'98 (four tracks) and follow-up
Salsa Dura
'99 (three cuts), both on the now defunct RykoLatino label. He donated his time and talent as a coro singer to the CD and video
Chucho Valdés Live
'98 on RMM (recorded 17 Oct. '96 at the Hostos Community College Arts & Culture Center) to raise money for the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center. After working with Eddie Palmieri since '92, he made his recording debut with the bandleader on
El Rumbero del Piano
'98 (five tracks), followed by
Eddie Palmieri & Friends Live!
'99 (on a stunning 12:30 minute version of "Palo Pa Rumba") and
Masterpiece / Obra Maestra
'00 (with Tito Puente; Hermán features on four tracks), all on RMM, and
La Perfecta II
'02 on Concord Picante (five cuts).
During '00 he provided coro vocals to Grupo Caribe's
Son De Melaza
Ritmo Nativo
on CMS Records, and sang lead vocals on five tracks of
The Conga Kings
on Chesky by Candido, Patato and Giovanni Hidalgo. The following year he contributed lead vocals to two cuts on
Pa' Los Treseros
'01 on Qbadisc by Nelson González. Recently, he has been gigging with his own band, Hermán Olivera y sus Amigos.
