3.6-11 Specifications of Negligence -
Special Defense
Revised to January 1, 2008
The special defense filed by the
defendant alleges a number of specific ways in which the plaintiff was
negligent. To prove negligence, it is not necessary for the defendant to prove
that the plaintiff was negligent in all of the ways claimed. Proof that the
plaintiff was negligent in just one of the ways claimed is sufficient to prove
This charge, like its counterpart
pertaining to the complaint, presumes that specific allegations that are not
sufficient to prove negligence will not be given to the jury. The allegations
that "survive the cut" should be read to the jury.

Keswick & Northern Lakes
The Keswick area offers outstanding beauty which has to be seen
to be believed, the clean air and the smells of the trees and grass
are wonderful.
Walk the hills, climb rock faces graded from easy scrambles to
the downright infuriating, abseil, paraglide, pony trek, mountain
bike or fell run, its all here just waiting for you.
The abundance
of wildlife is phenomenal. Birds as common as the Mallard, various
tits etc to the rarer Peregrines or the amusing Tree Creepers are
all to be found in
or around Keswick. With some effort herds of deer can be seen on
the fells or in the woods the Red Squirrel roam and if you are
prepared to search out the Badgers they are there in plenty.
and wildlife enthusiasts may wish to visit the Forestry Commission's
Whinlatter Visitor Centre, which is situated north west of Keswick,
where it is possible to view a pair of ospreys who have returned
to the same nest every year since 2001 and have successfully
raised eight chicks to date

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Department of Athletics will induct three-time national champion Shadrack Songok (2006-08) and former women's basketball player Terra Andrews (2002-06) into its Hall of Honor, Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby announced today. They will be the 24th and 25th inductees into the prestigious group.
"Shadrack and Terra are two of the greatest student-athletes in the Islanders era," Lazenby said. "As the only national champion in our intercollegiate athletics history and the leading scorer in our women's basketball program's history, they are two of the most memorable people in their respective sports. They both also represent the principles of the Islanders Way, even though they were both standouts here before it became our guiding statement."
The annual dinner and banquet will take place on Friday, Feb. 8, in the University Center on the campus of Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. The event will be held in conjunction with the university's Homecoming Week festivities.
Songok won three NCAA National Championships, two outdoor (10k in 2007 & 2008) and one indoor (5k in 2008) during his time as an Islander, becoming the first national champ in Islanders lore. He competed twice at the Cross Country National Championships and earned All-America honors, finishing 19th in 2006 and seventh in 2007. The seventh-place finish marked the highest finish by an athlete from the Southland Conference in league history. The Kapsabet, Kenya, native broke Southland Conference records in the indoor 5,000 and outdoor 5,000 along with the 10,000.
In 2007 and 2008 Songok earned All-American honors in the outdoor 10k and in 2008 he earned All-American honors in the indoor 5k. Prior to that in 2006 and 2007, Songok clinched the Southland Conference Cross Country Championships to earn Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year honors. He was also named the 2008 Southland Conference Outdoor Track Student-Athlete of the Year.
Andrews led the Islanders to the 2005 WNIT and helped the team finish with a then-school record 23-7 mark during the 2004-05 season, including the Independent Championship. Andrews earned Division I Independent Women's Basketball Player of the Year and First Team honors three times (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06) and was tabbed Division I Independent Women's Basketball Second Team (2002-03).
Andrews currently holds the Islanders career record for points with 1,550 and is second in rebounds with 815. While playing under Head Coach Jodi Kest, she tallied the most field goals in a season with 179 and posted 25 20-point games in a career, which is the most by any Islander. She also tallied 11 20-point games during the 2004-05 season.

What's in a voxel?
This Science post is by staff blogger Jane Pickett, Ph.D.
Researchers have several ways to peer into the human brain. A commonly-used tool is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and unlike the two-dimensional pixels in photography, voxels are used to describe the volume of brain measured by MRI. Currently, the standard voxel is a of ~1mm, about the size of coarse sea salt. Combining millions of voxels produces the 3D image of the brain you see in the figure. The view of the brain at this high resolution has led to some common ideas about the 'autism' brain.
Cynthia Schumann, Ph.D. and Christine Nordahl, Ph.D. of the MIND Institute at UC Davis, show how imaging, when paired with the microscopic inspection of the post mortem human brain, can help answer questions about typical and disordered brain development. MRI studies of autism have revealed an atypical trajectory of brain growth during early childhood, characterized by brain overgrowth, that is present especially in the frontal cortex (involved in higher mental functions) and also in specific structures such as the amygdala (involved in memory functions, particularly of emotional experiences).
Why are these areas growing larger than normal in young children? One way to answer this question is to look at the cells in these enlarged areas. That solution requires samples of donated postmortem brain tissue.
To give an idea of what's in a voxel in a typical 3 year old child's brain: there are an estimated 40,000 neurons in the space of a voxel in the cortex and 7000 in each voxel in the amygdala. The pictures in row C show just a portion of cells in a single voxel in the brain areas indicated. Some evidence indicates that neurons and another cell type called glia are more abundant in the brains of individuals with autism. Connections between cells need space and the more numerous brain cell branching that has been found can also lead to a size increase of a given area.
In addition to counting cells and their connections, fine-scale anatomy allows us to examine the layered organization of cells in the cerebral cortex and other local relationships in different brain areas. When researchers observe cells that are "out of place", this suggests differences in the functioning of that local network of cells.
Researchers can also use antibodies to localize various molecules in post-mortem brain tissue. With these techniques scientists can identify cells that carry a particular type of neurotransmitter, or other cellular signals. One can also extract and analyze the building blocks for proteins in RNA and DNA and look for regions where a certain gene may have been "turned on" or off more than expected.
Given the coarse resolution of MRI, the field must look towards post-mortem human brain research to help us understand the neurobiological underpinnings of the difference in brain growth patterns that have been found in MRI studies. MRI studies are very helpful in targeting which brain regions should be explored further in post-mortem studies.
Autism Speaks' Autism Tissue Program supports specialized neuropathology research by providing approved scientists access to the most rare and necessary of resources, post mortem human brain tissue. We wish to recognize the commitment and generosity by our ATP donor families. More information can be found at www.autismtissueprogram.org or call 877-333-0999 for information or to initiate a brain donation.
Brain Research will be publishing a special issue of articles that feature presentations at the 2010 Brain Research meeting. Dr. Schumann's paper is currently available online with appropriate institutional access or for purchase.

One of the great players in the history of Bay Area high school basketball is returning home Wednesday night, his legacy growing seemingly every time he steps onto a court.
Since Arizona star Aaron Gordon graduated from Archbishop Mitty last year, he has become a national highlight reel for the top-ranked team in the land.
But beyond the high-flying dunks that regularly appear on "SportsCenter," Gordon has brought the same ultra-competitive work ethic to the desert that made him a two-time California state high school player of the year while at Mitty.
Gordon's infectious drive to succeed has helped Arizona open the season with a program-record 20 consecutive wins and made his return home all the more special. Arizona visits Stanford on Wednesday and Cal on Saturday.
"It's definitely a homecoming," Gordon said Monday. "I get to be in my hometown, the Bay Area. There's going to be a lot of people, a lot of distractions, but I've got to just focus on getting wins."
As he was at Mitty, Gordon is a coach's dream at Arizona, a superstar more concerned about winning games and championships than individual numbers. Gordon, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward, is the Wildcats' second-leading scorer (12.3 points per game) and top rebounder (7.8 per game).
But his game is much more than points and rebounds.
"He's one of the great defenders in our conference," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "He defends multiple positions, which is very difficult for somebody who is (6-9). He's an excellent passer. He's really good in transition, whether he has the ball or doesn't.
"He does everything for us, and he's a big reason why our team has had the success that we've had to this point."
Gordon's presence on the court is not all that impresses Miller.
"Nobody has, in my mind, a higher breed of character than Aaron Gordon," the coach added. "He's an incredible teammate. He's one of the harder workers that I've been around. He's well beyond the years of his age."
Gordon, 18, did not fill the stat sheet when Arizona faced one of its toughest challenges thus far, a grinding game at home Sunday against Utah. But in the span of a couple of minutes, he propelled the Wildcats to victory.
With the score 47-47, Gordon helped create a turnover at one end, soared over a Utah player to grab an offensive rebound and then brought the McKale Center crowd to a frenzy with a thundering slam.
Moments later, Gordon leapt high to block a shot on the wing, grabbed another offensive rebound and fed a teammate for an easy basket.
The Wildcats rolled from there.
"Gordon's a great player," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "He's going to be a pro in one year. He's going to be a lottery pick. He's a monster."
Gordon was recently named USA Basketball's male athlete of the year for leading the United States to a gold medal at the under-19 world championships last summer, and his name can be found on virtually every mock NBA draft list.
But despite his rising fame, Gordon has kept his eye on the one quest that means the most right now.
"All I want to do is win a national title," Gordon said. "That's all I want to do. I don't care about anything else."
Back at Mitty, where Gordon led the Monarchs to state titles in 2011 and 2012 and a Northern California crown last season, his crowd-buzzing plays are nothing new.
"We're not as awed because that's what he did every day," Mitty coach Tim Kennedy said. "But what I am happy about is the recognition that he's getting for being a great teammate, being a great defender. Stuff that went unnoticed in high school because the dunks overshadow it."
Gordon keeps in touch with his former coach and teammates. When the Monarchs won at rival Serra this month, he made sure to congratulate them.
"He's still down to earth," Mitty guard Connor Peterson said.
Gordon's family, friends and former teachers are expected at Maples Pavilion on Wednesday, but his former teammates will not be there. They won't be at Cal on Saturday, either, because Mitty has games both days.
"I'm more disappointed that I can't go see their games," Gordon said.
The one glitch in an otherwise special homecoming.

Whenever I post a note to wikindx, it pops up a dialog prompting me to save or edit index.php. This probably means that a file type is getting screwed up somewhere. However, index.php views fine by itself.

Chris Brown Investigated for Battery
Singer-dancer Chris Brown is named in a battery report, according to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore.
According to Whitmore, "Battery is a misdemeanor, which means unwanted touching –it could have been a scuffle, a brush, it's possible there were punches thrown. It appears to be a scuffle over a parking space. It doesn't rise to the level of an assault."
Brown's publicist didn't return a request for comment. Brown's lawyer didn't return a request for comment.
Whitmore said that the police department is currently investigating the alleged incident and that the department does not release the names of alleged victims.
Over the weekend, TMZ reported that Brown had been involved in an alleged scuffle at a Los Angeles recording studio with singer-songwriter Frank Ocean, who is nominated for six awards including album of the year at the coming Grammy Awards on Feb. 10. In a recent tweet from an account used by Ocean, he said "got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest was there." (According to various reports, Everest is his Bernese mountain dog, a particularly large breed of canine.) Ocean added: "cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys." A representative for Ocean didn't return a request for comment.

CARMEL -- Joan Fontaine, who struggled to mature in Saratoga then flowered to fame in the golden age of Hollywood, died Sunday at her Carmel home. She was 96.
Fontaine was more than a half-century removed from the height of her stardom. She won an Academy Award as best leading actress in 1941 when she was 23. She produced a 40-year career also noteworthy for a bitter rivalry with her sister, Olivia de Havilland, that started during their childhood in Saratoga.
In her triumphs -- "Rebecca," "Suspicion" and "The Constant Nymph" -- she put glamour in Hollywood, on and off the screen. And the names of her leading men were made for the marquee: From Fred Astaire to Harry Belafonte, and Charles Boyer, Rossano Brazzi, Joseph Cotten, Bing Crosby, Mel Ferrer, Cary Grant, Bob Hope, Louis Jourdan, Burt Lancaster.
Mario Lanza sang to her. Ray Milland shared the spotlight with her, as did Paul Newman, Laurence Olivier, Jack Palance, Walter Pidgeon, Tyrone Power, Jason Robards, Robert Ryan, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Taylor, Orson Welles.
Some of her self-acknowledged liaisons with men of wealth, power and politics were as recognizable: Charles Addams, John Houseman, Howard Hughes, Aly Khan, Joseph Kennedy, Conrad Nagel, Adlai Stevenson.
She married four times and divorced as many. She bore one daughter and took in another.
From the mid-1930s to the '70s, she was celebrity personified.
The word "feud" seemed to define the the lives of her and her sister, from childhood to retirement, and Fontaine's Oscar in 1941 focused the rivalry for public consumption.
In 1939, de Havilland had won acclaim and a supporting-actress Oscar nomination for her role as Melanie in "Gone With the Wind." Eight films with Errol Flynn had elevated her to stardom. Her younger sister, however, was about to turn the tables.
In the 1941 Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Suspicion," Fontaine played the plain country girl who fell for the cad, Cary Grant, and earned nomination for the best-actress Oscar, as well as the New York Film Critics Circle Award.
Because de Havilland was also nominated for best actress that year, in "Hold Back the Dawn," it provided Hollywood columnists Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper opportunity in the speculation leading up to Oscar night.
In her autobiography, "No Bed of Roses," Fontaine recalled the moment the following year when she was announced as the winner over Bette Davis, Greer Garson, Barbara Stanwyck and her sister:
"I froze. I stared across the table, where Olivia was sitting directly opposite me. 'Get up there; get up there,'" she whispered commandingly. Now what had I done!"
"All the animus we'd felt toward each other as children, the hair-pullings, the savage wrestling matches, the time Olivia fractured my collarbone, all came rushing back in kaleidoscopic imagery.
"My paralysis was total. I felt Olivia would spring across the table and grab me by the hair. I felt age 4, being confronted by my older sister. Damn it, I'd incurred her wrath again!"
The feud earned little public attention for five years until de Havilland won her first Oscar for "To Each His Own." Fontaine had made the presentation for best actor during the ceremonies. Afterward, as she tried to offer congratulations, de Havilland turned away and, according to the newspaper Daily Variety, told her agent, Henry Rogers, "I don't know why she does that when she knows how I feel."
Daily Variety added, "Joan stood there looking after her with a bewildered expression and then shrugged her shoulders and walked off." A photograph by Hymie Fink of Photoplay captured the moment.
Olivia de Havilland and Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland were born 16 months apart in World War I to English parents living in Tokyo. Walter de Havilland, whose family owned an airplane manufacturing company, was a patent attorney and college professor in Japan when he met and married Lilian Ruse on a cruise back to England.
A soon-troubled marriage prompted Lilian de Havilland to sail with her daughters for California, where she met George M. Fontaine, then manager of the O.A. Hale department store in San Jose. Sisters Olivia and Joan would come to "resent bitterly" their mother's and Fontaine's eventual marriage, Joan said her in autobiography. The two balked "at the heavy yoke" of Fontaine's authority, she said, although she later took Fontaine as her stage name.
Their stepfather's discipline notwithstanding, both sisters in later years had no such reaction to growing up in Saratoga. "I feel so grateful about being brought up here," Joan Fontaine told Mercury News columnist Leigh Weimers in a 1978 interview.
George Fontaine's "military camp" did, however, indirectly result in both sisters' decisions to leave, Fontaine wrote. De Havilland chose to act in a school play against her stepfather's orders and was told not to return home. Joan chose not to stay without her sister. She managed a sojourn to Japan to escape, she said.
It didn't last. Fontaine had a falling out with her father, and on her return to Saratoga was still on the outs with her stepfather. Her support came from her sister, whose success in the touring "Midsummer Night's Dream" in the meantime also spurred Joan toward an acting career of her own.
Fontaine obtained some minor parts in the late 1930s and a supporting role in "The Women." Then David O. Selznick decided she would play the lead in "Rebecca" with Laurence Olivier under Alfred Hitchcock's direction. Her performance gained her a 1940 film critics award and a best-actress Oscar nomination.
She followed that with "Suspicion," again with Hitchcock, and Selznick decided that he had a real star under contract, according to Charles Higham in his book "Sisters: The Story of Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine.''
She did achieve critical acclaim for "The Constant Nymph" with Charles Boyer, "This Above All" with Tyrone Power and "September Affair" with Joseph Cotten, but few of her films were like "Casanova's Big Night" with Bob Hope, which, she said, shouldn't have been made.
Fontaine married British actor Brian Aherne in 1939, but that lasted only three years. She also wed William Dozier, president of RKO Pictures, and gave birth to their daughter, Deborah; and she was married to Collier Young, a producer, for a dozen years. Her final husband was Alfred Wright Jr., a golf writer for Sports Illustrated.
While visiting Peru in 1951, Fontaine also took the daughter of a caretaker of the Machu Picchu ruins to live with her, although she never officially adopted the girl. Martita Pareja Calderon acted as a companion for Deborah Dozier until she left Fontaine in her teenage years.
In the 1960s, Fontaine increasingly made New York City her home, acting on Broadway in "Tea and Sympathy," for example, and on location in a few films, such as "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" with Walter Pidgeon and "Island in the Sun" with Harry Belafonte. She did some television in the 1970s and was praised by critics for her performance in "A Lion in Winter" at a theater in Vienna.
For eight years late in her career, Fontaine was "spoiled" by a New York physician she identified in her autobiography as Dr. Noh. When Dr. Ben Kean left her in 1974, Higham said, de Havilland cared for her sister when Fontaine had a near breakdown. It was the one brief friendship between the sisters, Higham said.
Lilian Fontaine died in 1975, and it caused what both sisters at the time acknowledged to be their final split. Fontaine maintained she had written her autobiography in part because she had not been invited to her mother's memorial service at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. The organizers contended otherwise, but Fontaine said in her autobiography:
"Only after burning the telephone wires from coast to coast were my daughter and I permitted to attend. It was then that I felt I must eventually straighten out misconceptions, erroneous conclusions, ill-considered judgments concerning my relationship to my family."
In setting the record straight, she said, she would write of events as she saw them.
"There is much in my life that might make me the envy of many ... fame, fortune, romance, self-expression, independence. Yet I have found no lasting romance, no marriage that I could salvage without jeopardizing my own happiness or freedom, my own brand of integrity. My career is the result of opportunity and luck as much as anything."

Progressive Automotive X Prize Narrows the Field to 12 Teams
The #98 Very Light Car is one of Edison2's mainstream class entries in the Progressive Automotive X Prize. See more images.
Only 15 vehicles from 12 teams remain in the running for the Progressive Automotive X Prize, a competition that offers a $10 million prize purse for vehicles that achieve super fuel efficiency. Established automakers, start-ups, universities, inventors, and even a high school had entered the Knockout Qualifying Stage, the second stage of the months-long event. By the time the knockout round ended June 29 on Michigan International Speedway (MIS), 11 vehicles representing nine teams failed to meet the standards and were eliminated. The remaining cars, two in the mainstream class and 13 in an alternative class, will advance to the final stage, which is scheduled for July 19-30 at MIS in Brooklyn, Michigan.
In the knockout stage, competing vehicles had to successfully repeat the technical inspections and on-track safety tests they completed during the first stage in May. For this second round, the machines and their drivers also had to complete emissions, efficiency, and range events in which they had to achieve at least two-thirds the energy equivalent of 100 miles per gallon of gasoline (100 MPGe), the minimum target for the final prize. Cars also had to run a minimum of 134 miles for mainstream class and 67 miles for the alternative class. Achieving 100 MPGe is the final goal.
Two cars now remain in the mainstream class, both Edison2 Very Light Cars with internal combustion engines. Other remaining teams include Tata Motors Limited, India's largest automaker; established electric vehicle companies like Aptera and ZAP; and upstart Western Washington University. The field has narrowed considerably since last fall, when 43 teams with 53 vehicles began pursuit of the Holy Grail of vehicle efficiency. See the X Prize press release, the team standings Web site, and the Edison2 Web site.

No policy to contact parents after graffiti threat
It's a name that's meaning can't be erased as simply as the chalk it was written with.
Pueblo Police say that name along with "Feb 14" were found scrawled on the outside of Pueblo Central High on January 31st.
School resource officers began investigating it as a possible threat.
Back in April, 1999, two teenagers killed 12 classmates and a teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton.
But no information about the possible threat was released to students or parents until today.
"Because we didn't have anything to show that it was a credible threat," said Sgt. Eric Gonzales.
The information was released only after rumors started to run wild on social media.
District 60 tells Newschannel 13 that there is no policy requiring parents are notified of a possible threat that is being investigated.
District spokesman Scott Jones says nothing was reported because they didn't want to cause hysteria over one word…Columbine. But rumors that swirled around the school did concern students.
"You never know. I think that's why everybody is really worked up about it is nobody really knows," said student Teddy Koncilja.
Soon after the information about the perceived threat was released, a student came to police claiming responsibility.
Police haven't released any information about the suspect, other than he was a juvenile. Sgt. Gonzales says the person responsible will probably only face misdemeanor vandalism charges.
D-60 called the secured perimeter status for Friday, Feb. 14, a precaution. Security has already been heightened at the school and it will remain heightened on Friday.
Parents on our Facebook page have commented that they might keep their kids home from Central High on Friday.

Ice fishing may be where the majority of the action is, but a few hardy anglers continue to fish the tail water below Dillon Reservoir. Fish are catchable, but with the low, clear flows, fish are spooked. That behavior requires fine tippets, 6x or smaller, coupled with small midges, sizes 20-24.
Even Dillon Reservoir is providing faster action than most tail waters, but if you're up to traveling, there are better choices - including on the ice.
The Snake River inlet is one of the more popular areas and is producing a few kokanee and rainbows. Most anglers are using small jigs tipped with wax worms. Ice is well over 6 inches in most areas.
Downriver from Green Mountain Reservoir is also fully capped with ice running 6 inches or more. Lake trout action has been decent using tube jigs tipped with sucker meat. If you don't pick up fish quickly, move on.
Since the ice has thickened, Granby has become extremely popular with anglers, especially those with a snowmobile. Lake trout are the most popular fish and jigs or spoons tipped with a bit of sucker remain a popular lure choice. Lots of folks have been fishing near the dikes. If action for lake trout is slow, move shallower and downsize your offerings for good trout action.
Of the other nearby waters - Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Reservoir and Willow Creek Reservoir - Willow Creek is providing the best action. Just about any way you like to fish through the ice is producing: bait, small jig, small spoon - you name it, the action is great for smaller rainbows.
Another good option for lake trout is Williams Fork Reservoir.
South Park waters are also producing fair numbers of fish, just be prepared for a lot of company in the many reservoirs with easy access for anglers.

U.Va. administrators drop proposed upperclassmen fee
A proposed fee for most upperclassmen at the University of Virginia has been dropped. But administrators still plan tuition increases.
Some members of the university's Board of Visitors had criticized the proposed fee. The fee would have started at $500 and then increased by $500 each year until it reached $2,000.
The Daily Progress reports that U.Va. administrators announced the revised plan Monday. It calls for a 3.8 percent increase in in-state tuition and a 4.8 percent hike in out-of-state tuition.
The board will consider the proposed increases later this week.
If approved, in-state students would pay $12,458 and out-of-state students would pay $39,844.

Nailing the Private-Equity Firm Interview
Landing an interview with a private-equity firm is no easy feat for a first-year banking analyst. Surviving the interview process may be even tougher.
Some young bankers, about eight months into their current jobs, are now in the thick of the interview cycle for entry-level deal-making positions at private-equity firms that won't start until summer 2015. Depending on the employer, they can expect between two and five rounds of interviews over the course of a week or two, according to current and former private-equity associates and an industry recruiter.
The interview format is similar to what these candidates experienced when they tried for investment banking positions just a couple years earlier, said the people familiar with the process. But there's at least one major difference: Candidates need to talk, in great detail, about the deals they've worked since starting their jobs last summer, said Derek Loosvelt, senior finance editor at Vault.com, a career resource cite.
One first-year analyst who's currently interviewing with a handful of private equity firms said, back in college, his liberal arts education gave him a good excuse for being unable to value a company on paper. "Now we're expected to know stuff," he said.
For private-equity jobs, candidates can expect to be asked about valuation methods, as well as which ones make the most sense in a specific situation, Mr. Loosvelt said.
"Kids have to really speak to their deal experience," said Mr. Loosvelt, whose site publishes a popular interview guide for aspiring dealmakers.
"They're going to have to not only say what they did, but why did they choose certain things."
Recruits are generally screened by outside headhunters first. And though each firm's process is slightly different, those who make the first cut will likely then sit through one or two half-hour meetings with mid-level dealmakers, said Daniel Sheyner, a former Bain Capital associate and current student at Harvard Business School who is writing the newest guide for Wall Street Oasis, a finance-industry website.
The next round puts candidates in front of more senior staffers, and the questions turn to cultural fit and investment judgment. Firms are increasingly looking for candidates who can improve operations at portfolio companies, and not just structure the deals for those entities, Mr. Sheyner said.
About half of the major private equity firms also ask applicants to complete financial modeling tasks, a practice that has lately become more common, Mr. Sheyner said. Some are short, 15-minute tests, while others can take hours and require candidates to build a model in Excel and present it to a team of managing directors with a tidy PowerPoint, he said.
The chosen few are then offered a job that can come with a salary of at least $250,000, according to people familiar with the matter. They can have as much as a few days, or as little as a few minutes, to accept, according to recruiters and candidates.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Google's (GOOG) mystery barge is still under wraps but new documents obtained Friday show the giant tech company has quietly promoted it to local officials as "a curious and visually stunning" structure, with sails "reminiscent of fish fins," that will serve as a floating exhibit hall at sites from San Francisco to San Diego.
Google hopes to move the vessel around to various ports in San Francisco Bay, staying no more than a month in each location -- at least in part, apparently, because of a state law that discourages putting new structures on the bay for an extended period of time, according to documents and emails submitted to the Port of San Francisco.
But the project may have fallen behind schedule. A proposal submitted to port officials indicates the company hoped to move the barge to a pier at Fort Mason this month, from its current mooring at Treasure Island.
Negotiations with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, a state agency, "seem to be going at a glacial speed," a Google attorney complained in an email to San Francisco officials this fall. Commission officials have said they can't consider a permit for the project until they get more information from Google.
Google didn't respond to a request for comment Friday, after acknowledging earlier this week that the company is behind a project that's fueled intense speculation and drawn national attention. A lease application released by the Port of San Francisco confirms Google is the sole owner of a shell company that owns the barge, and another vessel with a similar structure that's been spotted in Maine.
A reporter who visited Treasure Island on Friday saw no signs of activity and no workers on the 250-foot barge moored there. The structure on the barge appeared unfinished and partly covered in scaffolding.
When finished, the four-story structure is planned to have more than 13,000 square feet of exhibition space, a large open atrium, catwalks offering "views down through the atrium" and a roof deck with "sightlines of the spectacular San Francisco skyline and waterfront," according to the proposal submitted to San Francisco officials.
Twelve tall spires on top of the barge will support sails "reminiscent of fish fins, which will remind visitors that they are on a seaworthy vessel," the proposal enthused. It described the project as a "temporary technology exhibit space," dubbed "San Francisco Studio."
But the documents are noticeably vague about what kind of technology would be exhibited. In its statement earlier in the week, Google denied initial speculation that it was building a floating computer center. That statement didn't address another theory that Google may use the vessel as a floating showroom for its wearable computing device, Glass, and other cutting-edge products from its secretive Google X division.
Instead, Google's proposal says the project will draw visitors to waterfront sites, help promote San Francisco as a tech center and provide "a platform for local organizations to engage with guests and gain visibility in a unique way."
Google is hoping to attract up to 1,000 visitors a day while the vessel is moored at various sites including Fort Mason Center, Angel Island, Richmond and Redwood City, the proposal says. To help regulate the flow of visitors, the company said it will use an invitation system.
The barge won't stay in any place for longer than a month, according to the proposal and a separate lease application, which asserts that those temporary moorings should avoid running afoul of state law that restricts permanent structures on the bay. BCDC Executive Director Larry Goldzband, whose agency enforces that law, said Friday that he couldn't evaluate that assertion without more information from Google.
Eventually, the Google proposal says the barge could move on to San Diego and other West Coast locations. But despite the eye-catching sails, it's most likely the barge will have to be towed to each location, since the floating platform isn't designed to be a sailing vessel.
Local and regional planning officials say they haven't approved any permits or leases for the project. Officials at the Port of San Francisco and the National Park Service, which oversees Fort Mason, have said their talks with Google are still in a preliminary stage.
At the Port of Redwood City, Executive Director Michael Giari said he hasn't been contacted by anyone involved in the project. Giari said he would need to know more before making any commitment, but he noted, "We're the closest port to Google's headquarters" in Mountain View.

Selected Facts About Alzheimer's Disease
Selected Facts About Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease/Dementia
- Today, 5.3 million people are living with Alzheimer's—every 70 seconds, someone develops the disease.
- Some 5.1 million people with Alzheimer's are age 65 and older, but an estimated 500,000 people younger than age 65 either have Alzheimer's or another dementia.
- Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60 percent to 80 percent of cases.
- Vascular dementia (also called multi-infarct dementia, post-stroke dementia, or vascular cognitive impairment) is considered the second most common type after Alzheimer's.
- In 2000, an estimated 411,000 new cases of Alzheimer's were diagnosed. That number was expected to increase to 454,000 new cases a year by 2010; 615,000 annually by 2030; and 959,000 new cases a year by 2050. By that year, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's could be as high as 13.5 million unless researchers find a way to prevent or treat the disease.
- In 2006, Alzheimer's was listed as the "underlying cause of death" for 72,432 Americans. In 1991, only 14,112 death certificates recorded Alzheimer's as the underlying cause. This increase could be due to reporting changes and an increase in actual Alzheimer's deaths. From 2000-2006, deaths from Alzheimer's increased by 46.1 percent, while the number one cause of death, heart disease, decreased by 11.1 percent.
- In 2006, Alzheimer's was the seventh leading cause of death for people of all ages and the fifth in people age 65 and older.
- Some 70 percent of people with Alzheimer's and other dementias live at home, where they are cared for by family and friends.
- In 2009, nearly 11 million family members and friends provided an average of 21.9 hours of unpaid care per week for a person with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, for a total of about 12.5 billion hours of care. That year, the estimated economic value of the unpaid care was $144 billion.
- About 60 percent of family and other unpaid caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are women.
- People with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are high users of health care, long-term care and hospice. Total payments for these types of care from all sources, including Medicare and Medicaid, are three times higher for older people with Alzheimer's and other dementias than for other older people. Based on the average per person payments from all sources for health care and long-term care services for people aged 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias in 2004, total payments for 2010 are expected to be $172 billion, including $123 billion for Medicare and Medicaid.

Pardee, Mission showcase joint facility in Fletcher
Published: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 7:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 7:28 p.m.
"Who else never thought this day would get here?" Pardee Hospital CEO Jay Kirby asked Wednesday, drawing a ripple of laughter from the crowd that gathered for the first look at Mission Pardee Health Campus in Fletcher.
After three controversial years, Pardee and Mission Health opened the center's doors for an open house that drew more than 100 people from the world of local government, health care and business. The campus will open to the public Oct. 1.
Kirby said the center offers convenience and value by offering several different services in the northern part of Henderson County. Those services include an urgent care center, outpatient rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation, a laboratory, and physician practices. Mission is also providing advanced imaging, a retail pharmacy and physician practices.
The patient, Kirby said, was at the "center of everything we discussed" for the facility.
The new facility is especially going to benefit Fletcher, Mayor Bill Moore said.
"This is a great day for our community," he added. "It was needed."
Guests were given tours Wednesday of the facilities. From the urgent care lobby, which includes a café, the tour made a circle through the after-hours waiting area, the urgent care center, Asheville Imaging, a private checkout and the last stop for patients, a trip through the pharmacy.
The campus will be involved in business and industry services as well. On site, employers will be able to send potential hires for urine drug screens, fitness assessments, audiograms, pre-employment physicals and other pre-hire and rehabilitation services.
"Once (patients) come in and see what's being offered, they're going to be enthused," said Charlie Messer, chairman of the Henderson County Board of Commissioners.
By fall of 2014, the Hendersonville Family YMCA will have joined the campus.
"It's just a great joint venture," Messer said. "This is a big plus for north Henderson and south Buncombe."
Mission CEO Ronald Paulus talked described several "obstacles" in the process that led to Wednesday's open house. The campus had been a lightning rod for several years, as nearby Park Ridge Health claimed it was a play by Mission to encroach on northern Henderson County. Mission was denied a certificate of need for an endoscopy suite at the center, but that battle is still being fought in state courts. The campus was finally approved last year and construction began.
Mission is glad to be a part of the joint venture, Paulus said.
"This is the start of something that is unique and pretty special to this region," he said.

SANTA CLARA — Vernon Davis, as Captain Torpedo?
The 49ers tight end explained Wednesday, in self-deprecating fashion, how he went to Hollywood early this offseason to play a Hollywood superhero for a still-in-production movie.
"He's the new superhero coming to your town to save everybody," Davis said, as if he was in character.
"A buddy of mine in Los Angeles came to me doing a piece. I said, 'Sure I'll do it.' He knew I was kind of into acting. It's like art."
Davis posted a "leaked scene" of the film on Twitter on Wednesday morning. In it, he's tied to a chair in his "Captain Torpedo" super suit, and after a few lines, he gets shot in the head by a bad guy dressed in a military uniform.
"I'm covered in my only weakness: seaweed," Davis said.
Acting was just one of Davis' many endeavors this offseason, when he stayed away from the 49ers in hopes of getting a contract extension. He reported to camp on time Wednesday and has remained a positive factor in practice.
If seaweed is Davis' weakness, what is his super power? "I can do anything in water," Davis replied. "I can run fast and shoot at you."
The 49ers can attest that Davis certainly runs fast. That documentary has been in the making for going on nine years now.

For many of us of a certain generation, the words "Food Fight" will always invoke the memory of John Belushi's Bluto screaming the phrase in the middle of the cafeteria featured in the classic movie, Animal House. If only the world could always be that simple and funny. This post, however, details a real-life, real-time food fight that has erupted between powerful Big Sugar lobbyists and public health advocates on the heels of the Food And Drug Administration's proposed changes to nutrition labels that include listing the amount of added sugar in food products.
Here at FoodFacts.com, we think everyone would like to know how much sugar the food industry is actually adding to the products we purchase. We're sure that even the most uneducated food consumer would choose transparency when it comes to this serious and well-publicized issue.
Scientific studies increasingly are finding links between sugar consumption and chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. With public health at stake, advocates say, consumers need to be informed of what is being introduced into their food.
"Food producers and others that represent sugar interests are robbing us of this information that we should have access to, they're robbing us of our health," said Gretchen Goldman, an analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "People have a right to know how much sugar is in their foods."
The inclusion of added sugars appears to be a jab from the FDA at food manufacturers, whether the agency intended for it to be or not. Other measurements on nutrition labels—calories, fat, sodium—are passive: They simply state how much is in the food. But the added sugars measurement is active: It implies that the company the consumer is purchasing from has included something that could be dangerous in high doses over the long term.
Food business groups argue that a gram of sugar, natural or added, is a gram of sugar—so why distinguish it?
"There is no chemical difference between naturally occurring sugars or added sugars, and…there is no scientific evidence that added sugars are linked to obesity or other chronic diseases," said Lee Sanders, a spokeswoman for the American Bakers Association.
But foods containing added sugar are among the most unhealthy, supporters of the FDA proposal say, and more information is a good way for consumers to be more conscious of that.
"The food industry response has said that the body doesn't distinguish between added and natural sugar, and that's true…but we do no harm by limiting added sugar, and we know it's a good way to limit calorie intake. It seems to be a logical step to include added sugars on the label," said Rachel Johnson, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont.
The American Heart Association, which supports the label change, came out with a scientific statement in 2009 that recommends no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day for women, and nine teaspoons a day for men, citing the body of evidence that connects high intake of sugar to health problems.
Big Sugar, advocates say, is employing strategies reminiscent of Big Tobacco in its heyday.
"[They're] different players, but it's the same game," Goldman said. "We're seeing the exact same tactics that Big Tobacco was using. They're trying to manufacture doubt in the science, they're trying to pay their own experts to carry their talking points, and they're doing these things with the intent to undermine public policy."
Industry also has other objections to the proposed change to nutrition labels: Sanders, from the bakers' lobbying group, said it would be "difficult, if not impossible, to calculate added sugar." The FDA acknowledges the costs of the rule change for businesses, estimating that the one-time expenditure would be $2.3 billion for labeling, reformulation of products, and record keeping.
And there are more individualized concerns. The International Dairy Foods Association, for example, is concerned that the definition of added sugar includes natural sugars isolated from a whole food and concentrated so that sugar is the primary component—fruit juice concentrate, for example. That would affect the added sugar count for dairy products such as whey, nonfat dry milk, or milk protein concentrate.
The proposed FDA change appears to have left the biggest of the industry lobbying groups unenthusiastic about communicating with the media. A Sugar Association spokeswoman, Tonya Allen, declined to speak by phone on the issue, pointing only to a weeks-old statement put out by the organization. The Corn Refiners Association did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Stakeholders and business groups have until August 1 to comment on the proposed change. The FDA then will review the comments and consider them in edits to the proposed label, followed by the enactment of a final label. Industry will then, under the proposed rules, have a two-year transitional period over which to comply with the new requirements.
Over the next two weeks, as the FDA comments period draws to a close, industry groups are expected to turn up the heat on the proposal.
"The food industry knows that when they add it to food, you buy more. They don't add it for any other reason," said Dr. Robert Lustig, a University of California-San Francisco professor who has campaigned against sugar consumption. "You [currently] can't tell how much sugar has been added, and the food industry wants it that way."
Read that last quote carefully. We can't tell how much sugar has been added to our food. We're being told to keep sugar consumption to between 6 and 9 teaspoons per day (depending on our gender). It appears we don't know how much sugar we're consuming and lobbyists are trying to keep it that way. And it certainly doesn't appear that the "sugar is sugar" argument being made by the sugar lobby has much to do with the problem. The problem originates with the question, "how sweet is sweet enough?" The food industry wants to continue to answer that question without transparency or input. We're hopeful that the FDA will begin making these major changes next month.

"Sheriff to boost bike law ticketing" - What is the correct interpretation of "the law"?
I have been getting many, many emails on this subject. I've decided to start a community discussion board on the topic. For those of you out of the loop, the easiest way to begin is with a newspaper column. Out of the Ft. Collins Coloradoan regarding "[Sheriff to boost bike law ticketing|http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080517/NEWS01/805170330/1002/CUSTOMERSERVICE02]":
The column says:
Bicyclists who ride Larimer County roads, consider this your warning: Sheriff's deputies are about to start ticketing riders who ride two abreast.
The warning comes following a rise in "contacts" between traffic deputies and bicyclists, particularly in the southern part of the county, near the Boulder County line.
Under state law, cyclists must ride single file if "riding two abreast would impede the flow of traffic."
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said many bicyclists on Larimer County roads are unaware that his office will enforce the two-abreast rules.
He said his office interprets the rules to mean that cyclists move into single file if a vehicle is approaching from behind, and riding two abreast "could" impede the flow of traffic.
"If you ride double file, we're going to give you a ticket," Alderden said.
"So far, the deputies have been issuing warnings. That is going to stop in the very near future. Every spring, this comes up."
Alderden's longstanding policy has prompted at least one formal complaint from a Boulder County cyclist, who was stopped and warned last weekend while riding two-abreast in Larimer County.
In an e-mail message distributed widely to the Boulder County cycling community, the rider called the deputy "hostile" and said she felt unwelcome on Larimer County roads.
"He ran our IDs and then told us we had the choice to turn around and go back to Boulder or get a citation if we continued to ride in Larimer County," wrote the woman, a teacher who asked not to be named. "He stated several times that he does not appreciate people from Boulder choosing to ride in Larimer."
Alderden said the deputy "could have been more tactful" but largely confirmed the rider's account.
"We have had a number of confrontations between our agency and bicyclists, particularly from Boulder," he said Friday. "A number of them cop an attitude. Basically, what we have is a disagreement between some bicyclists and our agency's interpretation."
Boulder County Sheriff's spokesman Cmdr. Phil West confirmed that many bicyclists flout the two-abreast traffic law and said North Foothills Highway between
Boulder and Lyons has long been a major complaint area.
He said bike racers this year have partnered with the Colorado State Patrol to organize Wednesday evening competitions that adhere to state law.
"We used to have the pack riders on the North Foothills Highway," West said. "That was a weekly complaint area, multiple offenses, multiple complainants. That has been ameliorated to some extent by having a sanctioned ride on Wednesday nights, staffed by state troopers."
West said the Boulder County Sheriff's Office has no specific plans to enforce the two-abreast law, although special patrols have been tried in the past.
"The sense is that the situation hasn't improved, and it hasn't gotten any better," West said. "We continue to receive complaints. People continue to flout the law."
Another road that's a problem area shared with Boulder and Larimer counties, West said, is North 75th Street in Boulder County, which connects to Woodland Road and permits access to Weld County Road 23.
A few years ago, a local resident upset about cyclists obstructing his access deliberately ran over a riders' bike, then returned home to await arrest, West said.
"Fortunately, the bicyclist got out of the way in time," West added.
The Sheriff has followed-up with his blog comments:
Cyclists and Dodge City
By Sheriff Jim Alderden
Don't you just love this time of year, when the birds, boats and cyclists come out? Well, two out of three ain't bad.
Tis the time of year for countless walking, running and cycling events that positively or negatively affect each of us. Then there's the inevitable conflict between the motorists and cyclists using roads that are in disrepair and aren't fit for either. The Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies are tasked with keeping the peace and enforcing the laws. The end result is that nobody is happy with us.
First, let me address the numerous events that impact traffic flow and raise the ire of the affected neighborhoods. All of these events require a permit. There are several stages of review. Many of these cross jurisdictional lines and require approval from the municipalities that they traverse, the county and the state. In the case of the county permits, they are NOT issued by the Sheriff's Office but from the Commissioners. In addition to the Sheriff's Office reviewing the plans for the events, the Health Department, Road and Bridge, Parks Department, Engineering and the appropriate ambulance, hospital and fire departments all review the plans and either approve or impose conditions. In the case of the Sheriff's Office, we REQUIRE notification of affected residents, a traffic plan, certified traffic control personnel at key intersections, and volunteers at other locations. If the event is a race, we require either full or rolling road closures. Again, we are charged with making the event as safe as possible, but can't deny a permit just because it inconveniences people. That's a balancing act for the County Commissioners.
The Sheriff's Office no longer assigns personnel to these events except in the most extreme circumstances due to staffing shortages, other high priority events that dictate deputies be assigned to work overtime, and the liability associated with these events. When we do, the event must pay the costs associated with the services provided. I don't remember the last time we assisted with one of these due to the volume of other off-duty work where the services of a sworn deputy are needed. (As an aside, to the person who groused on the Reporter Herald RH line about the Sheriff's Office escorting a group of cyclists on Glade Road on Saturday, May 10, the Sheriff's Office was NOT involved in this event and we definitely did NOT have a car escorting the cyclists either on duty or on overtime. This event was a collegiate event hosted by Colorado State University, so I suspect that the lead car may have been a CSUPD car.)
Second, let me address the issue of cyclists in general and our enforcement practice. I've recently received a deluge of e-mails from the cycling community of Boulder after a group of them encountered a deputy who gave then the "don't let the sun set on your behind in my county" speech or something akin to that. What the rider claimed was that the deputy offered the option of either returning to Boulder County or receiving a ticket for the alleged violation (more on that in a moment). That may be what they heard, but the deputy is adamant that isn't exactly what was said. Apparently there was some dialogue (argument) about the interpretation of the applicable statute and the cyclists were advised that we were going to enforce the law regarding impeding the traffic flow in our county. The deputy continued by stating that perhaps they should return to Boulder County where they indicated they could ride two abreast, or be cited if they continued to do so here. It really wasn't a "get out of Dodge" ultimatum but "if you stay in Dodge, be prepared to follow the rules or suffer the consequences." Perhaps he could have been more tactful, but anytime you get to even suggest something to deal with Dodge City, its okay in my book.
Actually, we have a bonus point system when ticketing individuals from Boulder. So far, the deputy in question has won a toaster oven and is close to earning a rod and reel combination. (Just kidding!)
Now to the real issue and the reason for the contact in the first place. We have been receiving complaints about cyclists hogging the road in the southern part of the county so we have stepped up our presence. Not surprisingly, many of these cyclists cop an attitude when stopped. Also not surprising, many of the cyclists with attitudes are part of the Boulder cycling community. Now, I've had some fun making fun of Boulder in the past (all warranted by the way) and some will say this is just another attempt to bash Boulder, but this is what has been reported to me. Many have taken to not carrying identification, so when asked to identify themselves for purposes of determining if there are any outstanding warrants (which we always check), it isn't unreasonable to determine their county of residence. (Another warning - When issuing a citation for a violation, if we can't verify the identification of the cyclist, they WILL be taken to jail pending identification and their bicycles impounded. This isn't a threat. Its the way we operate.)
The dispute is over interpretation of C.R.S. 42-4-1412(5): "Any person riding a bicycle shall ride in the right hand lane. When being overtaken by another vehicle, such person shall ride as close to the right-hand side as practicable. Where a paved shoulder suitable for bicycle riding is present, persons operating bicycles shall ride on the paved shoulder...." Also at issue section (6)(a) "Persons operating bicycles on roadways shall ride single file: except that riding no more than two abreast is permitted in the following circumstances: (I) When riding two abreast will not impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic..." Many feel that they can ride two abreast as long as vehicle approaching from the rear can get around them, even if the motorist has to go into the oncoming lane of traffic. Our reading of the statute doesn't require that traffic actually be impeded, only that it the cyclists riding two abreast would impede the normal flow of traffic if vehicles had to swerve into the oncoming lane, especially when there is a double yellow line as is the case in many of the winding roads favored by the cyclists. Further, section 6 doesn't negate the requirement of section 5 to ride on the paved shoulder or as far to the right as feasible when being overtaken. While riding two abreast, one of the pair isn't as far to the right as possible. When being overtaken, in order to get as far to the right as possible, they must ride single file if there is only one lane in that direction. If there is a paved shoulder, they should be riding on the shoulder, not in the traffic lane, regardless of whether or not they are impeding traffic.
The arguments offered by the cyclists are similar to those made by many motorists when blowing stop signs. "There were no other cars coming, so why should I have to stop?" - "They could still get around us, so what difference does it make?"
I believe in minimal enforcement to achieve the desired result. Our deputies have been giving verbal warnings, as was done to the Boulder cyclists. The warnings haven't been heeded. I don't expect my deputies to have to debate the point any further. We will begin issuing tickets for these violations, whether the offender lives in Larimer County, Boulder, or Dodge City.
To the motoring public, this does not mean its open season on cyclists. We also have received some complaints about motorists throwing objects at cyclists or harassing them. We will be equally aggressive in defending the rights of the cyclists to share the road as long as done legally and responsibly.

CHAR- SALISH KOOTENAI AND PEND'd ORIELLES TRIBES CHARLO KOOSTAHTAH KOOSTA SMIMII (Salish: News) Volume 3 - Number 3 New Moon of the Camas (June 1,1973) Price -15 Cents lts Council Fails to Show in Elmo, Kootenais Plan Split Elmo (May 12): A special Tribal Council meeting called to discuss Kootenai demands for restructureing the tribal government failed to materialize Saturday at Koostahtah Hall. Kootenai leaders now say reform of the confederation is not possible and they will go to Congress for their own Reservation. The special meeting between the Council and the northern reservation Kootenai Community was slated during the April 5 Quarterly Meeting of the Council after Councilman Pat Lefthand, Elmo, presented a preliminary st of Kootenai demands. The Council had expressed a desire to work out the differences between the southern-reservation bes and the Kootenai but the meeting in Elmo was attendee by only four councilmen. Present at the meeting were Councilmen Pat Lefthand, Elmo; Vic Stinger, Pablo; Tom Pablo, Hot Springs and Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, St. Ignatius. Absent were: Council Chairman Harold Mitchell, Jr., St. Ignatius; Vice Chairman Robert McCrea, Dixon; Councilmen John Malatare and Fred Whitworth, Arlee; James Ely, Ronan, and E,W. Mori-geau, Poison. The meeting was cancelled because of a lack of a quorum which requires seven members. KOOTENAI COALITION PRESENTATION Officers of the newly formed Kootenai Coalition salvaged the meeting by presenting a revised and expanded list of demands to the four councilmen present and some 50 predominantly Kootenai Indians who came to attend the session. Presenting the plan were: Coalition Chairman Joe Mathias, Hot Springs; Vice-Chairman Margaret Friedlander, Ronan; Secretary, Nancy Joseph, Elmo; and Treasurer Madeline Couture, Elmo. The Kootenai Coalition is an outgrowth of the Kootenai Drum and Feathers Club, a primarily Kootenai Cultural group which had developed the initial list of demands. The coalition was organized in April to develop and implement the demands. Forestry Practices Questioned Dixon: (May 19) The Tribal Council is taking a long hard look at some Bureau of Indian Affairs forestry practices on the reservation. Acting Forestry Supervisor Fred Malroy appeared before the Council last Saturday to get a go-ahead on three Mission Mountains sales projected for next year and 19 7 5. He got a tentative o.k. to do the ground work on the three sales......a 15 million board feet sale at Mud Creek east of Pablo, a 15 million board feet cut at Ashley Creek around McDonald Lake and two or more sales in the St. Mary's Lake unit totalling some 80 million board feet — but he also got some sharp criticism on forest thinning projects and contract overruns. Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee, told Malroy that Winning (cont. on page 3) BIA Outlines Absentee Voting Dixon: (May 19) The Department of the Interior said last month that 18 year old Indians could vote in tribal elections ... now they have opened the ballot boxes to off reservation voters too. Earlier this year, the tribe decided to request the Secretary of the Interior to call for a constitutional amendment referendum to permit 18 year olds to vote in tribal elections. There was at that time question whether or not off-reservation tribal members would be entitled to vote in a secretarial called election — those elections called by the Secretary of the Interior to amend tribal constitutions, such as permitting 18 year olds to vote—and the Council asked the Secretary for an opinion. In a letter read during last Saturday's Council Meeting, Assistant to the Secretary, Theodore W. Taylor said yes, off reservation members would be allowed to vote in the 18 year old election and all secretarial elections. Taylor said the change in the procedure .... in the past all elections for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have been restricted to on-res-ervation Indians .... was due to an interpretation of the Tribal Constitution and the Code of Federal Regulations. The letter explained that when this tribe was organized under the Indian Reorganization Act, it was considered a "tribe" rather than "residents of a reservation." The letter goes on to explain the act also provides: "Amendments to the constitution and by-laws may be ratified and approved by the Secetary in the same manner as the original constitution ?.nd by-laws", and goes on to explain that since absentee votes were accept-(cont. on page 3) ( more on page 8) 90% Payout Vote Set June 30 Dixon (May 19): Qualified tribal member voters will go to the polls June 30 to decide whether or not the tribe should distribute 90 percent of reservation resource revenues. The election date was set last Saturday at a regular meeting of the Tribal Council. The Council had accepted the petition calling for the election April 28 but had not set a date for the election at that time. The petition called for a tribal referendum election on a proposal to operate the tribal administration on ten percent of the reservation's annual revenues and per-capita out the remaining 90 percent. The proposal was first offered to the Council in early Feb-(cont. on page 3)

Computer Security 101 Exam Results
Since 2005, Safe Computing has been conducting an annual Computer Security 101 Exam during Cyber Security Awareness Month to promote safe computing practices. This year, 24 percent University of Michigan students participated! Among them, several students won prizes including iPod Touches, iPod Minis, laptop pads, and laptop locks.
While there are many computer security tactics that are always relevant, each year there are new threats and new ways of protecting yourself, your computer, and your information. With the abundance of phishing scams sent out to the U-M community this year, the exam reminded exam-takers that phishing is a fraudulent e-mail designed to trick you into sharing personal information and to always delete "phishy" emails immediately.
Furthermore, the Computer Security 101 Exam also informed students of the available campus resources offering virus support. Among these resources are:
Though National Cyber Security Awareness Month is over, staying cyber secure is a year-round challenge. With phishing lures, online scam artists, laptop snatches, and more, cyberspace can be dangerous if you are not cautious. There is a lot at risk: your laptop, bank account, months of research, your reputation, future job prospects, even your identity.
Next October these things will still be at risk. Remember to take next year's edition of the Computer Security 101 Final Exam to keep the upper hand against these cyber threats, and, of course, for the chance to win some fabulous prizes!

Other treatments for multiple myeloma include the following:
Bone marrow is a soft, sponge-like material found inside certain bones, such as the heads of the femur and humerus, the sternum, and the hip bones. Bone marrow contains immature cells called stem cells. Stem cells can mature into blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets). These are often damaged by cancer.
For a
stem cell transplant, stem cells from the peripheral blood or bone marrow are collected and placed in frozen storage. Next, the cancer is treated with high-dose chemotherapy. After chemotherapy treatment is complete, the stem cells are put back into your body. They enter your blood stream and travel to your bone marrow. They replace damaged stem cells and begin to make healthy blood cells. If your own stem cells are used, the transplant is called autologous. If a donor's cells are used, it is called an allogeneic transplant.
Most patients continue to show signs of multiple myeloma even after bone marrow transplantation. And almost all patients develop myeloma again.
One to three percent of patients die during treatment when the patient's own cells are used. When donor cells are used, the rate increases to more than 20%. Autologous transplantation is safer, but both have risks. Neither method has been shown to be a cure.
Call the doctor if you develop any of the following:
Biologic therapies repair, promote, or raise the body's response to cancer by affecting the immune system. These therapies can be used to fight cancer or to reduce the side effects that may be caused by some cancer treatments.
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels. Some cancer tumors generate new blood vessels to increase their blood supply. It allows them to live and continue to grow. Anti-angiogenesis therapy attempts to block the blood supply to the tumor and destroy it.
There are different medications used for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Talk to your doctor about which ones may be helpful to you.
