Calexico Surgeon Doctors for Liver Transplant
Type of Physician: Surgeon
What is a Surgeon? A certification by the Board of Surgery; practitioners manage a wide range of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body. The surgeon provides the diagnosis and the care to patients before, during and after surgery. The surgeon is usually responsible for the comprehensive management of trauma victims and the critically ill. The surgeon has special knowledge and skills in birth defects, tumors, infections and metabolic problems relating to the head and neck, breast, abdomen, extremities including the hand, and the gastrointestinal, vascular and endocrine systems. A general surgeon is expected to be familiar with the most relevant features of other surgical specialties in order to recognize problems in those areas and to know when to refer a patient to another specialist.

AUSTIN (January 11, 2013)--A Texas judge Friday denied Planned Parenthood's latest attempt to rejoin the state's health program that excludes providers that support abortion rights.
State District Judge Steve Yelenosky said Friday he made his ruling because Planned Parenthood was likely to lose at trial because there are no longer any federal funds involved in the program.
The Texas Women's Health Program provides free wellness exams and contraceptives to more than 110,000 eligible low-income women in state.
"This is great news for Texas women and further proves that Planned Parenthood's case attempting to derail the Texas Women's Health Program lacks merit and is nothing more than a desperate move by an organization more concerned with obtaining taxpayer money than with helping women get care," Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement Friday evening.
"With this ruling, our state can continue caring for Texas women."

Rules Manager and Expression Filter getting removed
By Mike Dietrich-Oracle on Nov 12, 2012
I doubt that many people are using the Oracle features "Rules Manager" and "Expression Filter" as usually people handle these things (such as ensuring that a zip code or a car number plate has a certain format) within the application code and not inside the database. Oracle Beehive for instance uses that just on the side.
Anyway, just learned today that Rules Manager and Expression Filter components will get removed once our next database release most likely called Oracle Database 12c will get released. So before upgrading to Oracle Database 12c you can remove EXF and RUL components (SELECT COMP_ID FROM DBA_REGISTRY WHERE COMP_ID IN ('EXF','RUL'); ).
You'd simply do that by executing the following script before upgrade:
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catnoexf.sql
This will clean up Rules Manager and Expression Filter components inside the database. You could run ?/rdbms/admin/catnorul.sql before but I believe catnoexf.sql will clean up everything already.
And you'll find all this information plus guidelines for migration of existing content in MOS Note: 1233535.1 - Obsolescence Notice: Rules Manager and Expression Filter Features of Oracle Database

RPG Miniatures
Put some character into your game with these solid metal miniatures. These RPG miniatures are cast in a heroic scale (25mm). These minis are fun to paint, or you can play with them just as they are. We also carry pre-painted, plastic minis from the Legendary Encounters line in case you want them ready-to-go right out of the box
Dancing Girls$7.99
It's a tired old cliché that every RPG campaign begins in a tavern. It's like some kind of joke: "A wizard, a rogue, and a barbarian walk into a bar..." Here at Game Master Dice, we're not going to deny this simple truth, but rather embrace and enhance it. Imagine how much more epic your campaign would be if your characters started out not just in a tavern, but—wait for it—in a tavern with dancing girls.

Or, if that's not your cup of Dwarven mead, you could use these two scantily-clad figurines to populate the luxurious and seedy secret lair of the King of the Thieves' Guild. Or you could use up a couple of your cohort slots to make the trek to Mt. Doom a little more bearable. Either way, this is a great way to be charitable and help these two pewter figurines pay for college.

Not only is she in the baddest stance ever, but she's able to kill bad guys while wearing little more than a loincloth. Now that's prowess.

Outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry, until recently, has been largely confined to commercial manufacturing, packaging, and support for clinical trials. The industry is rapidly changing; companies are facing rising costs, a fast evolving global market, and weak pipelines. Many companies are outsourcing activities that have historically been kept in house, freeing themselves to concentrate on their core competencies and become more agile in responding to changing conditions. These new outsourcing models include discovery and R&D, regulatory, chemistry and manufacturing controls (CMC) support, and back office sales and marketing activities—virtually no activity is out of bounds. Instead of building or acquiring specialized technologies and facilities, many companies are seeking access to them elsewhere.
Smart outsourcing provides the following operational and business benefits:
To reap the full rewards of outsourcing over the long term and significantly enhance shareholder value, however, companies need to take a comprehensive approach. Companies that adopt a smart outsourcing strategy include:
Leveraging external expertise
Effective use of outside experts who have the requisite industry-specific technical, quality and compliance, operational, and business experience can provide an invaluable, independent source of perspective, methodologies, and tools to help ensure the best decisions are made each step of the way. Experts can help to tightly align outsourcing strategies with a company's strategic business and supply chain plans, re-affirm core competencies, and make informed recommendations regarding which current outsourcing needs represent the highest ROIs and competitive advantages going forward.
The right consulting partner can give advice on how best to support these strategies with ongoing operational excellence and risk-management programs, as well as develop and maintain highly effective and mutually beneficial strategic relationships with prospective outsource providers. But whether a company engages external advisors or not, the company will need to be able to skillfully blend strategy, risk management, and a new mindset and approach to outsourcing partnerships to remain competitive in today's, and tomorrow's, rapidly changing and increasingly challenging global markets.
A new kind of partnership
The effective selection, qualification, and management of outsource partners begins with the way one thinks about those partners, no matter what the nature of the partnership (e.g., innovator–CMO or innovator-to-innovator). Short-term thinking about outsourcing as a stopgap measure or commodity solution to operational needs based largely on cost or capacity must be replaced by thoughtful and robust evaluations of both the current and future benefits of developing long-range strategic partnerships that deliver flexibility and value to both parties involved.
Consider not only what outsource partners can provide in the near term, but also what they may be able to do as the relationship grows. Long-term strategic partnerships can have substantial benefits to each of the outsource partners in revenue, capacity planning, and potential access to new technologies and markets.
For example, consider that two large pharmaceutical companies enter into mutually beneficial, long-term (>10 years) strategic relationships. These are innovator-to-innovator partnerships that are based on a progressive schedule of mutual exploration and cooperation. Among their short- and long-term goals are the use of each other's available capacity and specialized facilities, technical and scientific information-sharing, and potentially, the codevelopment of future products and technologies.
Maintaining such long-term, strategic partnerships requires a significant shift in thinking and organizational culture on both sides—from a purely transactional relationship to one of shared planning, shared risk, and collaboration.
This shift requires developing and nurturing a highly cooperative working relationship that incorporates trust, a shared vision, open communication, and a dedication to quality, timeliness, compliance, and continuous improvement.

Dell Defends Deal: 'Offers an Attractive and Immediate Premium'
Could the Dell Deal Die?
The board of Dell, facing criticism from some of its biggest holders, says it looked at other options before deciding to take the all-cash offer from founder, Chairman and CEO Michael Dell and his private equity partners.
Late Friday, the largest independent shareholder in Dell, Southeastern Asset Management, laid out its objections to the deal and said it believes shares could be worth $10 more than per share. While no other shareholder comes close to Southeastern's 8.5% stake, other smaller firms have joined the fight including Pzena Investment Management, which has less than 1%.
Other smaller holders have also voiced concern, and reportedly some have said they would vote against the deal.
Dell defended the deal in a securities filing Monday morning saying the board's special committee, set up to negotiate the deal, "considered an array of strategic alternatives" but determined the deal was "in the best interests of stockholders."
The new filing added that "a prominent management consultant" was hired by the committee to review its options.
"The transaction offers an attractive and immediate premium for stockholders and shifts the risks facing the business to the buyer group," the filing said. "In addition, and importantly, the go-shop process provides stockholders an opportunity to determine if there are alternatives that are superior to the present offer."

While some large names are coming out against the deal, it is generally considered difficult to gather enough momentum to block a deal. Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi has said more than 20% of shares may now be held by merger arbitrage traders who typically would vote for the deal given they trade for slim stock moves and don't want the risk of a deal falling apart.
The next move Sacconaghi and others will be watching will be how proxy advisers like ISS and Glass Lewis come out for the deal, which could drive a significant amount of shareholders in either direction.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) Unfortunately, the battle against suicide in our area rages on. According to the Western Colorado Suicide Prevention Foundation, the national suicide rate is 12 deaths per 100,000 people. In Colorado, it's 18.7 per 100,000, and in Mesa County, the latest data show it's 20.2 per 100,000. Several local agencies are hoping with continued awareness, the number will start to go down.
Erica Kitzman's daughter Kaylan would have been 27 Tuesday, July 31st. "A few weeks before she died, she mentioned to me that she thought it would be so much more interesting if the obituary said why," says Kitzman, an advocate with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Kitzman is using her daughter's death to help save lives. "When she died, I said ok, well, I'm going to honor that." Kitzman now raises awareness that suicide can happen to anybody. "Physicians have a really high rate of suicide, and so do musicians, artists, soldiers; we're losing the best and the brightest of society."
Experts say suicide is preventable, and you can help. "You should absolutely ask them, asking them is not going to make them think about it or do it, asking them is the right thing to do; if you're still concerned after asking them you should ask somebody for help," says Michelle Hoy, LPC, CAC III, Regional Director with Colorado West Regional Mental Health, Inc. in Grand Junction.
There are many reasons for why the suicide rate in Mesa County is so high. "Our isolation, our rural nature, I think there is a rugged independent mentality that could be a part of it, availability of guns," says Karen Levad, Executive Director with the Western Colorado Suicide Prevention Foundation.
But while the problem remains, local advocacy groups are working on several solutions. "We're really reaching out to the business community to encourage them to bring training programs to the workplace," says Levad. While we get wrapped up in our busy lives, someone you love may be suffering. "Suicidal thinking is really common, it happens to one out of 5 people; it can come from having a really high fever, mental illness can be that simple," says Kitzman.
Studies show you can save a life by saying one thing. "Can I stay with you until we find some way to help, and please don't die; I just couldn't stand it, these are things I didn't know when my daughter died; I know them now," says Kitzman.
The latest data show Delta County's suicide rate is at 13.8 per 100,000 people. Garfield County's is at 12.8, and Montose County's is at 16.3.
There are many resources available to prevent suicide, as well as volunteer opportunities and activities. Officials remind you if you're affected by suicide, you're not alone.

"Enough Said"
It's clear writer/director Nicole Holofcener wanted to make an urbane feature about middle-aged love with a little of the "Seinfeld" flair. What she delivered, however, is a whole lot of melancholy.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as a divorced, mobile massage therapist who struggles with her love life and coming to terms with her daughter's impending departure for college. Then she meets a man. Sure, he's a bit schlubby, but he's funny, they have snappy banter and he seems to be genuine.
The schlub is played by James Gandolfini in his next-to-last movie made before his unexpected death. As a big fan of "The Sopranos" I tried hard to like this film, out of sentimentality for Gandolfini if nothing else.
But I failed. While Gandolfini and Louis-Dreyfus are talented actors, what they were given to work with was subpar, TV-grade material that produced zero laughs, a simple storyline and Red Lobster-esque sophistication. I never felt a real chemistry between our heroes, and their character flaws were hard to overcome.
The real deal-breaker, however, was the lifeless dialogue that made all of the actors seem painfully flat. What works well for Holofcener as the director of amusing shows like "Parks and Recreation" and "Six Feet Under" just doesn't translate into the more nuanced environment of film.
Acceptable for kids at least 12 year old. (PG-13: Sexual themes and language). 1 hour and 33 minutes.
Ratings (out of 4 stars):
Overall: 2 stars
Kids: N/A
Teens: 2 stars
Adults: 2 stars
Seniors: 2½ stars
Should you watch it? No -- unfulfilling love story.
"Touchy Feely"
Another indie film with angst and massage therapists, this one equally ho-hum. Rosemarie DeWitt stars as the groovy masseuse going through a midlife crisis when she realizes she can't stand -- gasp -- touching her clients.
At the same time her possibly autistic dentist brother (Josh Pais) sees his struggling practice revive when people believe that he can cure TMJ jaw pain. And just for fun, our heroine's niece (Ellen Paige) is secretly in love with DeWitt's slacker boyfriend.
None of these are bad people, and I wanted to like them, but writer/director Lynn Shelton has created a Thorazine-slow world full of earnest, dull, self-absorbed characters. Are we rooting for them to break out of their ruts and find happiness? I guess so. But it's like watching a Little League game when you don't know any of the kids playing: hard to muster much enthusiasm.
Marketed as a dark comedy, this film winds up being neither funny nor even very dark. Just a lot of gray. Acceptable for teens 14 years old and up. (R: Language and drugs). 1 hour and 39 minutes.
Ratings (out of 4 stars):
Overall: 1½ stars
Kids: N/A
Teens: 1 star
Adults: 1½ stars
Seniors: 1 star
Should you watch it? No -- sluggish indie dramedy that goes nowhere.

PAINTSVILLE Ky. (WYMT) - Up next in our DQ Grill and Chill countdown to tip off series are the Paintsville Lady Tigers.
The Lady Tigers finished last season 22-10, and were the runners up in the 15th region tournament. So this year they look to take the next step. On their way to taking the next step is winning the district, something they have not done since 1932.
"We are working really hard in practice, and you know, we got Shelby back as point guard", said senior forward Maria Lemaster. "Andria back as one of the forwards. And, we gain Eryn back again, and we are expecting to be pretty good. We are working really hard."
"we are working really hard in practice. We expect to win the district, change tat number 1932, it needs to change", said senior guard Eryn Baldwin. "And then hopefully go on to the region, and try to make our way to state."
"Win district. That 1932 has been a long time since that. And hopefully get another shot at being in the finals of the region", said junior guard Shelby Carroll.
"At the end, when it comes to district tournament time, its who wants it the most", said senior forward Andria Hansford. "Who works the hardest, and who has the most heart. Because everyone has a shot. Its just who wants it the most."
The Paintsville Lady Tigers are currently 0-1 on the season.

Place 1/2 cup of the vanilla frosting into a bowl and tint it an electric green with the neon green food coloring. Place 1 cup of the vanilla frosting into a bowl and tint it a light red. Place 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a bowl and tint it a pale yellow. Spoon the yellow frosting into a small resealable bag. Spoon 1 teaspoon of vanilla frosting into a small resealable bag. Place the remaining vanilla frosting into a bowl and tint it bright blue. Place 3 tablespoons of the blue frosting into a separate dish and tint it a darker blue. Spoon it into a small resealable bag. Spoon the dark chocolate frosting into a small resealable bag.
Flatten the green fruit chews and cut them into rectangles, about 1/2-inch wide.
Place the cooled cake on a clean work surface. Place the Jack Cake template on top of the cake and cut out the Jack shape with a small paring knife. Transfer the cut cake to a serving platter. Carefully spread the top and sides of the main part of the cake with a smooth layer of the lighter blue frosting. Spread the green frosting over the top area of cake and on the side. Add the green candies as the hair. Spread the red frosting over the lower part of the cake as his scarf. Snip a small corner from the bag with the yellow frosting. Pipe semi-circles and dots over the red frosting (see photo). Snip very small corners from the bags with the remaining frostings. Pipe the mouth and nose with the chocolate frosting. Lengthen the mouth with the dark blue frosting and pipe ears and a chin line. Add two brown candies as eyes and pipe white dots on top of the candies.
Sprinkle the remaining candies around the cake on the serving platter.

Two Southeast Michigan men might have West Nile virus. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control are researching the two men and will confirm whether the men have the disease by the end of next week.
For confidentiality reasons, officials will not reveal which counties the two men live in, but they say both men had outdoor lifestyles in one of the seven counties that make up Southeast Michigan.
Officials say one man, who is 82, checked into the hospital in early August with symptoms compatible with encephalitis. Doctors released him in good condition. The other man, who is 63, is improving, but he is still in the hospital.
Forty-three counties in Michigan have detected the West Nile virus. Investigators say they believe they've found evidence of the disease in three horses as well. Those horses were found in Washtenaw, Gratiot, and Emmet counties.
Experts emphasize the importance of "common sense" precautions. They say wearing bug repellant with DEET and long-sleeved clothing will reduce someone's risk of coming in contact with the insect.
Only one in 150 people who are infected with the disease will have serious illnesses like encephalitis or meningitis, and only twenty percent of those infected will experience mild symptoms like a prominent headache or a stiff neck.

Whether you were one of the millions of Black Friday shoppers in the U.S. last year, or you are joining in for the first time, being well organized is key. A good plan will help you prioritize and check items off your list. Here are six tips to seize big savings the day after Thanksgiving:
Do your homework
Start days before Black Friday, the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Jot down your gift list so you know what you need to purchase. Then take the very important step of determining your budget.
Get a jump on sales by signing up for email alerts at your favorite retailers and liking their Facebook pages.
Compare prices, products and deals
Research the normal retail price of the items you want, the best sale price to date, then the best Black Friday advertised price at each store in your shopping area. Keep in mind the best deal isn't always on Black Friday.
When it comes to comparing prices, the Better Business Bureau recommends doing so online.
Save money and anguish by checking consumer reports and reviews on special big-ticket items like electronics, games and items you might not know much about.
Make a game-day plan
"Make a list and prioritize where you should go and when," says the Better Business Bureau's Black Friday tip sheet.
By making the list, you can determine where each item you want will be the cheapest and what time the stores are planning to open. Then, you can map out the most practical travel route.
Before the big shopping day finally arrives, visit the stores a few days early to get a better understanding of the floor plans. You can map out the departments you need to visit and create a true, detailed plan of attack.
Avoid crowds if you can
Many department stores have limited-time offers, or items only available until they are sold out. If your list includes those items, you may feel the need to be at the store early.
However, that's not always necessary. If you don't have a particular need for hot-ticket items, arrive at the store a few hours after opening to avoid the morning rush.
To avoid crowds altogether, shop online. Some big-name stores have specials that will take place online at the same time as they do at the actual stores.
Use your smartphone
Instead of carrying lists and advertising flyers for each store, simply install checklist apps. You'll have all your gift lists and prices in one convenient place. Upload flyers when needed to double-check or dispute prices.
You can also use your smartphone to navigate between stores.
Stick to your plan
Be sure not to let the frenzy of the day affect your judgment. The USA.gov consumer tips website warns consumers not to buy on impulse or under pressure and decide in advance what you want and what you can afford.
"No matter how big a bargain something may seem, once you've spent your budgeted amount, put the credit card away," Kristy Welsh writes on her creditinfocenter.com Black Friday checklist.
Never fear if Black Friday comes and goes with gifts still to be purchased – Cyber Monday and other holiday sales are just around the corner.

SAN BRUNO -- PG&E said Thursday it continues to make progress in a sweeping upgrade of its natural gas pipeline system in the wake of a fatal explosion in San Bruno, although the utility has encountered some cost overruns.
The utility during 2013 replaced 64 miles of natural gas pipelines, up 60 percent from the 40 miles of pipeline it replaced during 2012. The company also automated 75 gas valves, a 63 percent jump from 2012.
"We have hit our targets on our pipeline upgrades," said Debbie Felix, a Pacific Gas & Electric spokeswoman.
The upgrades are part of the Pipeline Safety Enhancement Program, or PSEP, that PG&E has undertaken in the wake of the 2010 natural gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.
"The pipeline safety enhancement program is an essential part of PG&E's commitment to rigorous safety standards, improved operations and better service for its customers and the public," the utility said in a recent regulatory filing with the state Public Utilities Commission, which regulates PG&E.
PG&E also said it has undertaken high-pressure water testing, or hydrostatic testing, on a total of 465 miles of pipelines since 2011. Of that total, about 189 miles of pipes were hydro tested in 2013, Felix said.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, whose district includes San Bruno and who is an outspoken critic of PG&E, said the pipeline updates are indications that progress is being made.
"PG&E is improving and going in the right direction," Hill said Thursday. "But because the PUC hasn't transformed itself yet, it is hard to really determine or validate how much safer PG&E is today."
PG&E's update comes as comes as PUC administrative law judges deliberate over the amount and nature of the punishment and fines PG&E must pay as its penalty for causing the San Bruno blast.
San Francisco-based PG&E faces fines of up to $4 billion, but questions have been raised about whether PG&E and its principal regulator have too cozy of a relationship.
PG&E also said that it has encountered some cost overruns in the work it conducted during 2013. But the utility said it wouldn't seek a rate increase to cover the unexpected additional expenditures.
"Our shareholders will cover the higher costs," Felix said. "We have accomplished an extraordinary amount of work, and we are making more progress every day."
The utility has committed to spending $1.4 billion above the $1.17 billion the PUC has authorized for pipeline upgrades and other work to improve the safety of the gas system.
"PG&E is a work in progress," Hill said. "But PG&E is saying the right things and they are spending the money."

South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) inhabit South America. They reside on rocky shores along the coasts of Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru. They are heavily distributed along the Atlantic side of South America. They are also commonly found on the Uruguay islands and the Falkland Islands. These areas are more secluded with less human disturbances and are safer for breeding periods. They are found as far north as central Peru. There have been sightings of these seals as far off as 600 km. However, knowledge of South American fur seals lives at sea is limited.

OAKLAND -- Warriors center Andrew Bogut said he's perfectly fine and downplayed his injury in China that had Golden State fans holding their breath.
"It wasn't anything bad," he said after Monday's practice, his second straight. "It was just precautionary."
Bogut left early in the first quarter of Friday's exhibition win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Shanghai. After a post move, Bogut ran back down court holding his back and grimacing. He was pulled out of the game and limped to the locker room.
On Monday, Bogut said the injury was no big deal and that it wasn't really back spasms but more in his hip and gluteal muscles.
He said he had already informed the training staff he was having some tightness and that he was told to shut it down if he felt anything. After initially waving off coach Mark Jackson, Bogut agreed it wasn't worth the risk.
He blamed it on the travel schedule.
"The three-hour bus trip to the Great Wall," Bogut said, "and the three-hour bus trip back. After landing the night before. And going to a clinic the same afternoon. And having a dinner the same afternoon. And the next day having practice and going to another clinic. (All that) was probably a major reason. I think the off-the-court stuff kicked my (butt) more than on-the-court stuff."
Of course, it helps Bogut if he doesn't have a back issue. He is in the middle of negotiations for a contract extension with the Warriors.
He reiterated that he wants to stay with the Warriors and get a contract hammered out before the season begins. But he said he's also fine with becoming a free agent.
His current market would seem to fall somewhere between $15.5 million per year (what center DeMarcus Cousins got from Sacramento) and $11 million (what Larry Sanders got from Milwaukee).
"The way bigs are getting paid, it wouldn't be a bad idea," Bogut said of becoming a free agent. "I'll tell you that right now. ... Love them or hate them, unfortunately bigs in the league are going to get paid. If you can walk in a straight line and be 7-foot, it's a pretty good place in the NBA. I wouldn't say I want to be a free agent. But if it comes to that, I definitely won't cry about it."
"When is the last time ESPN has been right?" Jackson asked with a smile.
One reporter reminded him that ESPN did hire him to be a color commentator. Jackson's response?
"When was they last time they've been right?" he repeated.
Jackson last season lobbied hard for Curry to be named an All-Star. When he wasn't, Jackson was the loudest critic of NBA coaches for not selecting Curry. In the playoffs, Jackson made headlines by saying Curry and backcourt mate Klay Thompson made for the best shooting backcourt ever.
"Steph's a heck of a basketball player coming off a great year," Jackson said. "I'm sure he's looking forward to it, and so are we, him building on what he did last year. He's a special talent, and he's our best player."

SAN CARLOS -- An Oakland woman was arrested on suspicion of identity theft at an electronics store -- then added to her troubles by getting caught bringing marijuana into jail, authorities said.
Deputies were called to a Best Buy store in San Carlos on Thursday by a person who reported a woman acting "suspiciously" inside the store. Deputies contacted Robinique Manuel, 21, of Oakland, and two other people, according to a news release.
An investigation yielded debit cards, gift cards and a California driver's license; police said all of them appeared to be fraudulently altered. Manuel also had two misdemeanor warrants for her arrest from outside of San Mateo County, officials said.
Manuel was arrested on suspicion of burglary, identity theft, possession of a forged identification card, and possession of a counterfeit card. She was taken to the San Mateo County Women's Jail, where officials discovered that she had an undisclosed amount of marijuana in her possession, leading to another charge of bringing an illegal substance into jail.
The two other people interviewed were not at the Best Buy store and were not directly involved, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt. They were not arrested.

EDWARDS, Colorado - Local author Lindsay Eland to lead a writers' workshop for kids on Wednesday at The Bookworm of Edwards. The workshop will kick off the first annual children's writing contest hosted by the bookstore, which lasts seven weeks. The idea to host a writing contest at The Bookworm came out of a teen author event hosted by The Bookworm last fall.
"When it was time for the Q and A period, the kids in the audience asked question after question about their own writing. It turned out we had a room full of young writers who wanted advice from published authors," said Franny Gustafson, children's book specialist.
A series of events are scheduled to support writers in grades 3 through 12 and concludes with a finale event to announce winners and honorable mentions.
"When I was a child, I filled entire notebooks full of stories and poems," Gustafson said. "I would have loved the opportunity to attend a workshop like this and be a part of a writing contest. I know the young writers in the community will love it, too!"
Ready, Set, Write!: Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Eland hosts a roundtable writers' workshop for kids that includes instruction on basic plot, character, setting and voice. Kids will be exposed to examples from books and engage in short writing exercises. Event is a perfect platform to ask questions and discuss your own writing with a published author.
Writing Nights: Mondays, March 11 through April 15, 5-6 p.m.
Following the workshop students are encouraged to utilize weekly writing nights at The Bookworm. Writing Nights will be held on Monday evenings from 5-6 p.m. Tables will be set aside in the cafe for kids to meet and work on their writing. Kid-friendly cafe specials and helpful books will be available.
Contest Deadline: Sunday, April 21 at 5 p.m.
Submissions must be emailed to email@example.com with your grade level and the words "Ready, Set, Write!" in the subject. Entry fee and form can be submitted in person. Visit the store or www.bookwormofedwards.com for entry form and page requirements for each grade level.
Write to Win! Open Mic Night: May 1 at 6 p.m.
Winners will be announced at the Open Mic Night and all entrants to the first annual writing contest may read excerpts from their work.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's posted up at the bar on these snowy, gray days.
Yup, we over here at Summit Up headquarters have moved headquarters over to the locals establishments, where we are downing the best of the autumn brews and critiquing the bartender's pour on each new glass put before us.
So how, you might ask, are we still putting down accurate prose without slurryying our worschds?
Well, guessh we schtarted writing before we schlugged the lascht frew brewsch. Now thingsch are gettin' a bit fuzzzzzy...
OK, so we took that writer off the keyboard. Now, we're back at it with a fresh, more sober perspective.
Now, we have to share with you the Colorado Department of Transportation's warning, issued just moments ago: Don't let your Halloween turn into a Nightmare.
We could speculate on the ways that could happen - or we could leave it to the trusty, imaginative minds of our Millions of Summit Up readers to decide the possibilities.
For CDOT, it's mostly asking you not to drive drunk, and to designate a sober driver. Don't want to add handcuffs to that costume! We don't want to see you in the police blotter, either.

SOAP UI, WebService, Keystore, Certificate
By Corina Todea on Apr 26, 2013
Most of the time, we are dealing with secured web services that use certificates. I created just a simple step by step scenario to help you when you have to invoke an web service that has a certificate attached.
Suppose we have files: SvapTestRootCA.crt and 2020MOBILETEST.pfx for authenticating a WebService.
Steps for configure SoapUI security (Windows Machine):
1. 1. Install SvapTestRootCA.crt
2. 2. In SoapUI, create a project named Vodafone. Open project and open tab Security Configurations. On Keystore/Certificates in the Source Add file2020MOBILETEST.pfx, with specified password that you have for this file = 2020MOBILETEST. Add also a default alias and a default password that matches your password from 2020MOBILETEST.pfx = 2020MOBILETEST.
In Output WS-Security Configurations add a new row with Name = 2020MOBILE and password = 2020MOBILETEST. Also, here add Signature , choose keystore 2020MOBILETEST.pfx, choose alias, enter password 2020MOBILETEST.
In SoapUI, configure Incoming WS-Security Configurations. Add row with Name=2020Mobile, decrypt Keystore=2020MOBILETEST.pfx, Signature Keystore=2020MOBILETEST.pfx, Password=2020MOBILETEST
3. 3. Add WSDL into SoapUI.
4. 4. Open the request, and at Authenticate set Outgoing WSS = 2020MOBILE and Incoming WSS = 2020Mobile. In the request, payload, click right and Outgoing WSS -> Apply 2020MOBILE.
5. 5. Execute the request.
Steps for configure WEBLOGIC Server:
1. Exporting the Different Certificates from PFX to PEM
Run the openssl binary from the <OpenSSL>/bin folder. It will start the OpenSSL command prompt. Execute the following command:
pkcs12 -in 2020MOBILETEST.pfx –out 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem -nodes
This will convert the data in the 2020MOBILETEST.pfx file to the PEM format, placing the result in the 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem file. The resulting file will have all the certificates in the following order:
- Private key
- Identity certificate
- Root certificate
- Intermediate certificate
Note that all the certificates (Private Key, Identity certificate, Root certificate, Intermediate certificate) are wrapped within some headers, and these headers are part of the certificates.
2. Creating the Trust Java Key Store
Now you need to extract the root certificate from the resulting PEM file and use it to create the Trust JKS:
- Open the 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem file in a text editor, copy the root certificate and paste it to a new file, say SvapTestRootCA.pem. You can easily find the root certificate since its issuer and subject headers must be same.
- Use the Java key tool utility and import the above SvapTestRootCA.pem file to a JKS file:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file SvapTestRootCA.pem -alias SvapTestRootCA
-keystore SvapTestRootCA.jks -storepass 2020MOBILETEST
The resulting JKS can be used as a Trust Key Store in WebLogic Server.
3. Creating the Identity Java Key Store
- From the 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem file, copy the private key and paste it in different file, say 2020MOBILETEST.pem. It is very easy to identify the private key as it is wrapped with in the following two headers:
b. -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
d. -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
- From the 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem file, copy the following certificates and paste them in new text file, say SvapTestRootRCACRT.pem:
- Identity certificate
- Intermediate certificate
- Root certificate
Note that the certificates must be in the order listed above. The identity certificate can be located easily in 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem since there must be header that shows the identity--information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth. The intermediate certificate will be the last certificate in the 2020MOBILETESTPEM.pem file.
- Now set the WebLogic environment and run following command:
g. java utils.ImportPrivateKey -keystore SvapVodafone.jks -storepass
2020MOBILETEST -storetype JKS -keypass 2020MOBILETEST -alias
SvapVodafone.jks -certfile SvapTestRootRCACRT.pem -keyfile 2020MOBILETEST.pem
-keyfilepass 2020MOBILETEST
This will create a JKS file that can be used in WebLogic Server. Note that you can import many private keys into a key store using the utils.ImportPrivateKey command as mentioned above.
4. Adding keystore and SSL weblogic
Weblogic console -> Admin server -> Keystores -> Change on Custom Identity and Custom Trust
Enter values for :
Custome Identity Keystore: <path>/SvapVodafone.jks
Custome Indetity keystore Type: JKS
Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase:2020MOBILETEST
Confirm Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase:
Custom Trust Keystore:<path>/SvapTestRootRCA.keystore
Custom Trust Keystore Type:JKS
Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase:2020MOBILETEST
Confirm Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase:2020MOBILETEST
Then enter SSL:
PrivateKey Alias: SvapVodafone
And password : 2020MOBILETEST
5. Restart admin server
6. Configure credential mappings
Weblogic Console -> Security Realms-> myrealm -> Credential Mapings >Providers
New Provider of type PKI Credential Mapping Provider and enter name SvapVdfProvider for it.
In Provider Specific enter values:
Keystore Type = JKS
Keystore File Name = <path>/SvapVodafone.jks
And password : 2020MOBILETEST
Save configuration.
7. Restart admin server
Configure OSB webservice console:
Create service key provider in your project and choose svapvodafone.jks as SSL Client Authentication Key:

A 64-year-old woman has been charged with having sex with an underage 14-year-old boy who was doing chores around her home last summer, officials said.
Mary Ann Acee, of Stop 7 Road, Westmoreland, was charged with second-degree rape because the boy was younger than 15, said state police Investigator Todd Grant, who is assigned to the Oneida County Child Advocacy Center.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for counties throughout the Rochester/Finger Lakes region including Ontario, Wayne, Monroe and Livingston.
The heaviest rains of ended across Livingston County and western portions of Monroe and Ontario Counties with additional rainfall this afternoon expected to be less than a half inch.
However, there is still flash flooding ongoing from slower responding of creeks and ponding of water in low-lying areas.
There are still numerous roads closed.
The flood watch means there is potential for flooding, especially in areas of lower elevation and near streams and other waterways. Excessive runoff and drainage problems may occur if more than widespread rainfall amounts reach 2 inches.
Those in the warning area should remain alert for flooding and exercise caution when traveling.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

How 7 Ballsy Women Landed Their Dream Jobs

If you are a survivor who has an open case, you can contact the police detective or prosecutor assigned to your case for more information about the status of your kit and case. You can also inquire whether your jurisdiction has a backlog and if your kit is part of that backlog. It may be beneficial to ask for the police report number, the criminal court case number (if one has been assigned), or any "tracking" number associated with the rape kit in order to have reference numbers when calling for future updates. Some survivors have had success accessing information about their kits, but generally only after making several inquiries, which can be time-consuming and frustrating.
Other survivors have found it helpful to work with victim advocates from their local sexual assault crisis center. Advocates can make phone calls and arrange meetings and often have working relationships with the local police and prosecutors. They have been trained on what questions to ask and how to ask those questions
Most survivors have no other way to track the status of their rape kits, but there has been increased discussion about the ability to do so. As part of its reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), Congress also passed the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence Registry (SAFER) Act, which provides state and local governments with funding to conduct one-year audits of the untested rape kits in their possession and upload data on every individual rape kit into a national web-based registry that will be accessible to the public.
To protect survivors' privacy, the registry will not include any "personally identifiable information or details about a sexual assault that might lead to the identification of the individuals involved." Each kit will be assigned a unique identifier and also identified by the date after which the statute of limitations would bar prosecution. While the registry will allow the public to track the progress of backlog testing in jurisdictions that participate, it stops short of allowing individual survivors to track their kits.
Some states, like California and Texas, have stated in their victims' bill of rights—a codified set of legal rights for crime victims—that survivors of sexual assault have a right to information about their rape kits. In Texas, as an example, the state legislature recently added to the crime victims' bill of rights that if requested, a survivor has a right to information regarding the status of any testing of her or his rape kit, including submission of the kit to a crime lab, comparison of evidence with profiles in a DNA database and results of the comparison, unless the disclosure will interfere with the investigation of the assault. While, unfortunately, a survivor has no recourse should law enforcement fail to comply with the legislation, this is a step toward empowering survivors with greater access to information about their rape kits.
If law enforcement is investigating your case or preparing it for trial, they may not be able to answer all of your questions immediately. At times, law enforcement has to withhold certain information from victims or other potential trial witnesses in order not to taint the case or cause problems for future trial procedures. For example, if law enforcement gives a victim too much information before a line-up or other identification procedure, a defense attorney can argue that the identification is not admissible at trial. In order to preserve the integrity of the investigation, law enforcement may not be able to give you all the information they have. Working with a victim advocate can be helpful for navigating this process.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's and women's cross country teams will head to Houston, Texas, Friday to compete in the 37th Annual Justin F. Cooper Memorial Rice Invitational on the campus of Rice University. The women's 4k will start at 6:15 p.m. and the men's 6k will follow at 6:45 p.m.
"The Rice Invitational will be a very good one with most of the top 10 men's teams there as well as over half of the women's top 10 teams," Head Coach Shawn Flanagan said.
In the Running: The Islanders will compete against a total of 10 schools, including Southland foes Lamar, McNeese State and Stephen F. Austin. Houston Baptist, Houston, Texas Southern, Trinity, Texas State, Texas A&M and host Rice round out the competition.
Ready, Set, Go: Set to compete for the No. 9-ranked women are BreAnna Briggs, Cecilia Jones, Vanessa Galindo, Shelby Polasek, Jasmine Boutte, Alexandria Rossi, Kayla Fischer, Chelsey Arambula, Regina Salinas, Ashley Mills, Samantha Hardin and Alexandra Fernandez. For the No. 6-ranked men, Patrick Kimeli will lead the way along with Abel Koskey, Daniel Barlow, Paul Hansel, Philipp Baar, Brandon Lacy, Adrian Marquez, Julian Pfeiffer, Christoph Hintz, Valentinas Rudys and Jacob Abrego.
Looking Back: Last season both teams had a strong night at the 36th Annual Justin F. Cooper Memorial Rice Invitational. The Islanders clinched the runner-up spot in both the men's 5k and the women's 4k on the campus of Rice University. Kimeli finished as the top individual runner in the men's race.
Opening Sweep: Both teams swept the top spots for the second straight year Friday, Aug. 31, at the Rio Grande Valley Classic. The Islanders men's team sealed the top four spots while the women's team took the top three against Texas - Pan American in their first race of the season.

Islanders Head Coach Shawn Flanagan enters his 12th season as the head coach of the Islanders cross country team and 32nd season as a Division I coach. Flanagan started the cross country program in 2000. He has won four Southland women's titles, four Independent women's titles and three Independent men's titles. Altogether, Flanagan holds 30 Conference titles as head coach, including the 19 conference titles he won at UTSA. He also sealed three conference titles as an assistant coach at the University of Texas, totaling 33 Conference Championships to his name.
2011 Success: The women's team clinched their fourth Southland Conference title in five years while the men placed third at the conference meet. Kimeli advanced to the NCAA Championships for the second straight year.
Challenging Field: This season the Islanders will compete against tough competitors in some of the top meets around the region.

Last week, KOMO News 4 reported that all six of the new 520 Bridge pontoons build in Aberdeen have leaked, prompting Governor Gregoire to request an independent review panel to investigate the situation. From KOMO's report:
Two separate WSDOT insiders – who asked to remain anonymous – tell us they've never seen this many leaks and what they called "extensive cracking" in brand new pontoons. The videos we obtained include sections where an inspector videos chipped concrete on the exterior of a pontoon and says, "It's already been exposed to seawater and the rebar is rusting."
The internal leaks are presumably like this one WSDOT discovered and repaired in August:
It also appears that contractor Kiewit Construction has a lucrative deal paying them $90,000 for each day the pontoons are late getting to Lake Washington. Kiewit has two separate contracts with the State: one to build the pontoons in Aberdeen and one to build the bridge on the lake.
Here's how the pontoon costs got so screwy: Every day Kiewit in Aberdeen is late with pontoons, they owe the state $10,000. But that also makes the pontoons late getting to Lake Washington, and on that contract the state has to pay Kiewit $100,000 a day. So every late day, parent company Kiewit makes an extra $90,000 even though the problems started with Kiewit's other contract in Aberdeen.
And it gets worse. Now KOMO reports the first three longitudinal pontoons (the big ones — 360 feet long) do not have the required reinforcing steel in the joints that hook them together. With joints of inadequate strength, the pontoons could disconnect in a heavy storm.
Internal WSDOT e-mails from last spring show that structural rebar in Pontoon V was "missing". WSDOT's own engineer Patrick Clarke noted that he could not "structurally approve it" without those essential pieces. In spite of that, documents show that contractor Kiewit opted to ignore Clarke's recommendations for repair, and quote "proceed at risk".
Jerry Purdum, a retired engineer who worked on the original floating bridge from 1960-63, said there were no cracks or leaks in the existing pontoons when they arrived on Lake Washington 50 years ago. He recommends WSDOT reject these new pontoons as faulty and start over.
KOMO would also like to remind you of their report on 520 Bridge contractors drinking on the job last spring. And remember: if these pontoons are rejected, there is no lack of ideas out there on how to reuse them:

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents
|<< Conclusion on Meaning
|< Background
|Gray J's judgment >
|Result >>
The central issue
6. Both at the trial, and at the hearing of this application, stress has been placed on the importance of the applicant's integrity as a serious historian. The judge drew attention (3.2) to the applicant's statement that "for him his reputation as a truth-seeking historian is more important than anything else". Consideration of the applicant's reputation as an historian was central to the trial and is central to this application. Indeed, the judge's conclusion (13.1), that "the charges levelled at Irving's historiography appear to me to lie at the heart of what Lipstadt wrote about him in Denying the Holocaust" is expressly adopted on the applicant's behalf though it is strongly denied that the charges are true. The judge recorded (5.9) that the applicant testified "that he had never knowingly or wilfully misrepresented a document or misquoted or suppressed any document which would run counter to his case".
7. The judge acknowledged (4.7) that the burden of proving the defence of justification rested upon the respondents. To succeed in their defence of justification, in relation to the allegations at (i), (iii) and (vi) above, the respondents have to establish not only that the applicant is not a reputable historian, to use the expression adopted at the hearing as a form of shorthand for the allegations about his work, but also that he had a motive of his own in distorting the evidence. The second limb has not however been the subject of dispute. On behalf of the applicant, Mr Davies accepts that if the applicant is shown not to be a reputable historian, which is the central issue, his motivation is not an important issue. Mr Davies says that it is "at the margin". It is dealt with briefly later in this judgment. Mr Davies of course rightly adds that, if the respondents have failed to demonstrate that the applicant is not a reputable historian, their case cannot be made by proving a motivation, however unattractive. The allegation of "holocaust denial" has also been put as a subsidiary issue.
