In an interview you'll only see on News 12, a parent speaks out about the death of his children.
His wife stands accused of the crime.
News 12's Diane Cho spent April 23 in Warrenton, where she met Dennis Payne and Lottie Kain and learned how their lives have changed since that fateful weekend.
Dennis Payne and Lottie Kain can't even bear the sight of the VCR they never got to set up for little Jonah, or the clothes he never got to wear.
"From our bedroom to the hall I seen a little shadow and I said, 'Lottie, Jonah's here, I seen him.' I went in and turned on every light in the house, there was nobody," Dennis says. "This is bad...now I have to live the rest of my life like this."
He's left to wonder what happened on that Saturday afternoon.
"We went out there yesterday and it was the hardest thing. I told those babies, 'I will find out the truth.' I made a promise," he says.
Two-year-old Nicole and her three-year-old brother Jonah went missing after wandering from their home in Warren County.
Two days later, they were found in a nearby retention pond.
Their mother, Lottie Kain, was charged with two counts of cruelty to children after she admitted she was in the bathroom when the kids left the home.
"She's getting blamed for something she didn't do. She did nothing wrong," Dennis says.
He is steadfast in his belief in his wife's innocence.
"When she came out she saw the gate latch up, chain undone. She did tie a chain," he says.
A chain they say was too complicated for three-year-old Jonah.
"We took a four-year-old girl and she couldn't untie it," Dennis says. "Jonah couldn't even tie his own shoes."
Was the chain loose enough for Jonah to undo?
Or did someone let them out?
They're questions that may never be answered.
Another unanswered question: Dennis says little Jonah had a walking problem. He couldn't travel more than five feet before tripping over himself.
Yet his body was found 300 yards away.
So that raises questions as to how they made ever made it past the gate alone.
Lottie Kain's trial date has not yet been set.

Using one unified single-use cell culture platform for facilities that require culture of different types of cells can significantly reduce equipment costs, the risk of cross-contamination, and the requirement for training, cleaning, sterilization, and validation. Here, a bioreactor platform consisting of a presterilized, flexible, disposable plastic bag on a rocking platform and filled with media and a gas mixture is shown to support the growth of E. coli, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and hybridoma cells as measured by the daily cell density, nutrient consumption, and production of metabolites.
There are several options for disposable, scalable bioprocess bags for completing upstream processing steps. The design of a cell culture system will affect the shear forces experienced by cells as well as the mass transfer of gases, and different types of cells will have different sensitivities to these parameters. Generally, mammalian cells are more sensitive to shear forces than bacteria, but bacteria are more sensitive to oxygen limitation. The following studies demonstrate that the Wave Bioreactor (GE Healthcare Chalfont St. Giles, UK) effectively supports the growth and productivity of different types of cells, and the versatility of the platform is further demonstrated by the flexibility of feed strategies and scalability of the systems.
Each bioreactor consists of a presterilized, flexible, disposable, plastic Cellbag that is placed on a rocking platform and filled with up to half of the bag volume with media. The bioreactors used in these studies were the System20/50EH, System200, and System1000 (GE Healthcare) with maximum culture volumes of 25, 100, and 500 L of media, respectively. The following naming convention will be used to identify the culture set up: the volume of media in a Cellbag of a certain volume, e.g., 100/200 L indicates 100 L of media in the System200 bioreactor.
The remaining volume of the Cellbag is inflated with a process gas mixture, composed of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), which is mixed with air in a controlled manner. These gases are added using a sterile inlet filter that is pre-attached to the bag. Continuous airflow provides oxygenation and gas exchange for pH control and CO2 removal. Exhaust air passes through another sterile filter and a backpressure control valve. The backpressure control valve ensures that the Cellbag is always fully inflated at any airflow and prevents overinflation.
Liquid mixing and mass transfer of gases are achieved by rocking the Cellbag back and forth at a user-determined rocking angle and frequency. The waves generated by the rocking motion greatly increase surface area to enhance gas transfer. The wave motion also promotes bulk mixing and off-bottom suspension of cells and particles without any damage to the cells. Temperature is controlled by a heater located in the base plate of the unit that warms the underside of the bag. The heater is regulated by a noninvasive temperature sensor that is also in the base plate of the unit.


text: Thank you again, it's lovely to be able to see it.Claude, your first pic is a real treat for me, I had been looking for it on the internet but could not find it. I got it on an article (announcing Bowie's plans to play the 'elephant man' back then) but never saw it on the internet or being published again. I have found photos from the same session but this one was the best. I love it. Thank you.

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
Patricia Ogren is one person who's always on the go. That made her surprise hospital stay earlier this year pretty hard to take.
"I'm really busy and being sick put me very, very behind and it's not a position I'm comfortable in," says Ogren, who spent several days – including her birthday – at St. Mary's Hospital this year.
She soon recovered and went back to her routine. This she expected. But what she hadn't anticipated was making a special connection with her nurse, Zai Cole.
"Everybody at St. Mary's took good care of me, even the food was good!" says Ogren. "But what set Zai apart was her absolute patience, her smile, her taking the time to not get caught up in the whole world. She seems like she puts everything behind her when she's there and all she'll do is take care of her patients."
Ogren says one of the things that really stood out for her was the fact that Zai remembered her birthday. It was a simple gesture of writing "happy birthday" on the board in her room, but just knowing someone recognized her special day made all the difference.
"She's kind of like air – you wake up and she'd be there doing stuff in the night. Or if you're feeling bad she'd come in and take care of things," says Ogren.
"I didn't realize that writing her birthday on the board would resonate with her," says nurse Cole. "I just knew I should make her cheerful – everybody likes to be jolly on their birthday and here she's in the hospital and why not make her happy while she's here?"
Ogren felt so strongly about the care she received from Cole that she made a gift to St. Mary's Foundation, asking that Cole be recognized as a Guardian Angel for her exceptional care. Ogren's gesture made Cole the first nurse to receive this recognition from two different patients.
"I had no clue what was going on except I was coming out of patient's room and they pulled me aside and presented me with the award," says Cole. "After that, all day long I was smiling, doctors congratulating me. It made me bubbly all day!"
Cole doesn't think what she did for Ogren was above and beyond the call of duty, instead she thinks of it as just treating another human being as you'd want to be treated yourself.
"Nurses are at the bedside at all times with patients and that's why it's so important to have a connection between the nurse and patient," says Cole. "Because it may not just be the surgical procedure that brought them in, sometimes there are other factors in play. So I look at my patients holistically -- not just at the ailment they came in with. Some have family issues; they might have some financial strains putting a burden on them. If you get to know them you are able to analyze these problems and help refer them to programs that they could benefit from to help not just with their illness but also anything else that burdens them."
Nurse Wiley Lawrence also understands the importance of the patient-nurse connection. He works on the orthopedics floor at St. Mary's Hospital and often sees some of the same patients when multiple hospital stays are required. Many ask for him by name.
"Certain people come in and they ask for Wiley to take care of them," he laughs. "Most of the people who work here, if their family member was on this floor, I've taken care of them."
So what's drawing people to nurse Lawrence? It's likely because he's gone one step further to make their experience a special one.
"I had one patient come in who drinks a lot of Diet Coke so I bought him a pack of Diet Coke one time and he always brings that up every time he sees me," says Lawrence. "It's certain things you don't have to do but when you do, it makes them feel special."
Lawrence says being a good nurse is all about the approach. It's small talk over the course of the day so that by the end of the day you know exactly what your patient is thinking and can anticipate their needs.
"If you know your patient well, you know what they want before they turn their call light on," he says.
Still, he doesn't consider what he does to be anything more than "part of the job.".
"I try to treat my patients the way I want to be treated," he says with a smile. "I ask them if they need anything or try to joke around a little bit, or spend a little extra time to get to know them. I'm not sure I do things differently than anyone else."
Nurse Cole agrees, "It's nice for patients to appreciate us, but it's our duty to take care of them as it's one of the down times in their lives. They want to be treated right. I always put myself in their shoes and think about how I would feel if I'm treated right when I'm sick."
"Grateful Patient Syndrome"
People really care to be cared for. In fact, in the past few years the term "grateful patient syndrome" has arisen. This is not a disease by any means, but rather a strong connection some patients have to their caregivers. According to the Center of Philanthropy at Indiana University, in 2005 nearly one in four Americans gave to health-related causes and many of those donations came about due to an appreciation for the outstanding care those patients received.
Shining a Light on Guardian Angels
St. Mary's Foundation recently started a Guardian Angel program giving grateful hospital patients, nursing home residents, and family members an avenue to recognize someone who made a difference in their visit. Whether providing direct or indirect care, any St. Mary's employee can be identified as a Guardian Angel. The employee is notified that a gift was made to The Foundation in their honor and he or she receives a specially designed lapel pin. These pins are worn with pride by those who have been selected as Angels. As you see in this story, it can certainly brighten a nurse's day. For more information on the program visit www.stmarysfoundation.org or call 608-258-5600.
Did You Know?
There are 3.1 million registered nurses in the U.S. with 2.4 million actively caring for patients on a regular basis. To celebrate the great work they do to care for all of us in our time of need, we shine a light on nurses during National Nurses Week each year. This year that celebration takes place May 6-12. Take time this year to let a nurse know you appreciate the work they do. Even a small gesture of kindness goes a long way to brighten a nurse's day.

Get Books Delivered
Run time: 4:17 | Transcript | Last updated: 8/06/2013
If you live outside Maryland, but inside the continental United States, you can get books delivered to your home address. Let's look at that.
From the Library's home page, click on the link for Library catalog.
This will take you to the Library's catalog. Select My Account and sign in using last name and barcode.
Conduct your search, and when you find the book you want, click on Availability to check if a copy of the book is on the shelf. If so, select request. Let's request this book.
For the pick up/delivery location, choose UMUC - UMUC Patrons Only and the book will be mailed to you via UPS anywhere in the continental U.S.
You can also choose another pickup/delivery locations to pick up the book in person.
If the book is not on the shelf, you can place a hold on it using the request feature and it will be sent to you when it becomes available.
For information on placing holds and using the Library's catalog, from the libraries home page, click on the link for Book Borrowing & Delivery.
What if I need a book that isn't in the Library's catalog?
That takes us back to DocumentExpress. It works much like requesting an article or book chapter. Choose the link for Request a Book.
Fill out the required information and we will search outside the University System for an available copy and send it to you. We can fill most requests in two weeks, so if you need to use this service, please plan ahead. Sometimes, especially in the case of an old or rare book, a library will not send it to us. We also cannot obtain most non-print items such as videos or CDs.
If you decide you'll need a little extra time, use the renewal option in DocumentExpress.
When I am through with the book, how do I get it back to you?
One week before the book is due, repack the book and use the return label provided. Books may also be left in the drop box at the student entrance of the Largo building.
Thank you for the information, what about loan periods and fines?
Loan periods for UMUC books are usually 56 days for students.
Loan periods and fines for books coming from other libraries are set by the lending libraries, not UMUC, so check the due date carefully.
In addition, a book may be recalled for another borrower, shortening the due date. You can also renew a University System book (unless it has been recalled) by using the MyAccount feature in the library catalog.
Thanks. This will really help me to get the materials I need for my courses. I have one more question. I'm in the Air Force, and I may be transferred overseas later this year. Will I still have the same options for article and book delivery?
Click on the link for Overseas to see the options available to you.
If you live overseas, you can request articles and book chapters through DocumentExpress. Unfortunately, we cannot deliver books overseas.
You can also check for electronic versions of the title by using the e-book link.
Remember, if you ever need help, librarians are available 24/7 to provide you with assistance.
Thank you for viewing this presentation. Visit us often for all your information needs.

Evans Middle and High graduate Dana Hutcherson is a flow director at NASA. She'll help get Space Shuttle Endeavour to the pad in time for its final launch. (March 9, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, March 9, 2011
EVANS, Ga.---She's a graduate of both Evans Middle and High School. Her name is Dana Hutcherson, and without her, Space Shuttle Endeavour wouldn't be able to make its way out to the pad for its final launch in April.
She's now a flow director for the Space Shuttle Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Retired Evans High School teacher Henry Quinn taught her back in the nineties.
"I had the opportunity to have her in class as a student," he said "Also I had a club that studied space topics after school and she was always there and always had a great deal of interest in it."
As Space Shuttle Discovery touched down at the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday morning for the final time, Quinn watched on TV, but his former student won't be working on Discovery but rather Space Shuttle Endeavour. She's tasked with getting the space shuttle to the pad in time for its launch, which happens to be the last for Endeavour.
"This is its last flight, so it is bittersweet, when it's operating so well," Quinn said.
He's proud of Dana's accomplishments, and he hopes that other locals students will follow in her footsteps.
"We are a leader in the world because of our science and technology based upon the need for math, education, and science education," he said.
As for Dana, he hopes that he played a role in her success, but he says that she definitely played a role in his.
"It does make my years in education really worthwhile knowing that she's continued on this way and just really proud of what she's done," Quinn said.

Welcome back to "Survivor," where stuff just got serious.
We join the "favorites" after the first tribal council and the torch snuffing of Francesca, who became the first contestant to ever be voted off first, twice.
Brandon, the evil little troll's nephew, is upset with the vote because he thinks that it was cruel and stupid. Dawn tries to get him to understand the other side, but he just gets angry, declares himself a honey badger and warns Dawn and Cochran that they are now targeted.
The encounter leaves Dawn crying alone on the beach, and Brandon deciding to embrace the inner troll and channel his uncle, Russell. He vows to play dirty and make camp life miserable. Like it isn't already?
As Day 4 dawns, we join the Gota "fans" tribe where lots of people are working, but not Shamar, who seems very concerned that moving will cause him to suddenly dehydrate. The other players thinks he's lazy; Shamar thinks he's playing it cool.
He's probably in no danger because he's part of a six-person alliance against a foursome that's a little too lovey-dovey for their own good.
Meanwhile, Brandon the Badger confesses to Cochran that he was considering spilling food, losing challenges, and being evil, but now he's decided to set a good example for his children. Cochran compares him to a psychopathic murderer, but Phillip thinks Brandon is a middle manager. Six of one, half dozen of another.
Brandon immediately goes to the rest of the gang and says Inspector Pink Panther (Phillip) is a bully and is upsetting Brandon by calling himself the CEO of the tribe. He thinks Phillip is going Boston Rob on them. The drama just never ends. Please, bring on a challenge and gives us a momentary break to the tribal insanity.
Immunity challenge
Yes, it's time for a challenge, but it's for immunity and reward. It's a water challenge, diving to get rings. It's complicated, involving teams pulling ropes to get rafts out to the platforms, then diving to pull out bamboo poles and release underwater rings. Once nine rings are collected, the rafts are pulled back. Then the remaining team members toss the rings onto posts. First tribe to finish wins immunity and fishing gear.
The favorites take an early lead as the Fans are extremely inept. It gets a little close at the end, but Favorites pull off the win and all is good at camp Bikal.
Phillip takes a few minutes to fill Malcolm in about his top secret organization, "Stealth R Us," and each of his tribemates' code names. Malcolm is the Enforcer. Phillip is the Specialist. We never knew that also meant "Out of his Mind," but whatever.
Things aren't so happy at Gota. Reynold calls out Shamar saying his behavior is "unacceptable." What is his going to do about it, Shamar asks. He's going to vote for him at tribal. Shamar says fine, he knows that Reynold is just trying to convince others to vote him off. The testosterone is literally dripping off the jungle fronds.
Matt and Michael have a strong bond and Matt thinks he can get him to join with him, Hope, Allie, Reynold and Eddie to vote off Shamar. But the others, Laura, Sherri, Julia and Shamar want to vote out Allie.
Reynold decides to search for a hidden immunity idol and randomly looks in a hollow tree, and finds it. Seriously? That's the best place they could hide it? Reynold waits before going back to camp because he doesn't want them to see the big grin on his face and a bulge in his pocket. But as they prepare to go to tribal council, Laura notices the bulge in Reynold's pocket and is now freaking out because she's the only one who knows and is afraid Reynold will give the idol to Allie, and they want Allie gone.
Tribal council
The tribe settles down around the campfire and discussion quickly turns to the foursome and their connection to each other. Matt says he's not concerned. Eyes role.
Shamar explains that he weighs 300 pounds and has had only two servings of rice in almost a week. He's suffering, he says, but it's not new to him, having done two tours of duty in Iraq. The difference, he says, is that there were leaders in Iraq. Eddie and Reynold complain about how Shamar sits in the shelter 19 out of 24 hours while they do all of the work. Shamar just laughs.
Laura says she is confused because she thought they were voting as a family, but she saw a bulge in a pocket, looking at Reynold, and wonders if they are family, why someone would bring a hidden immunity idol. Exposed, Reynold pulls out the idol and everyone, especially his alliance, is shocked. He says his pants obviously are too tight, and by the way, good job, he's now going to play the idol and come the merge, they won't have it.
But, no surprise, Reynold keeps the idol in his pocket. And the vote comes down four for Shamar and six for Allie. Bye-bye little bartender.
Next time: Shamar is making camp life unbearable, and over at the Favorites, Honey Badger is threatening to pee in the food.

Romney gave more specifics about his Mormon religious beliefs in a Fox News interview.
"I think people who are people of faith believe that there's a purpose greater than themselves. For me, there's no question. I believe in a Heavenly Father, I believe in his Son Jesus Christ, I believe in the Holy Ghost. These are features that are part of many people's faith in this country; other folks have differing views"

More a point about you trying to show how smart you are than me spell checking. Much more than that was wrong with the grammar and spelling, but it's just funny to me that people who have to tell me how smart they are can't put together a simple sentence, and divert themselves from the point of the thread.
Boy, I bet you proof-read the heck out of that before you hit "post message."
Did you delurk to spell check people, or are you on one side or the other of this debate?
In terms of iPod use, would you:
A: Not run in a race that said "no ipods" because those are the rules
B: Run in said race, without using an iPod because those are the rules.
C: Run in said race with an iPod and hide it until it starts, because you are a closet rebel.
D: Run is said race with the iPod prominently displayed, because you feel it is a stupid rule with zero effect on your or other's enjoyment of the race.
God I hope I didn't misspell any of the above, risking disapprobation from Leemoe, Overlord of Spellcheck land.
See, that's my point. You didn't read what I said about the "iPod conflict." I already answered those questions.
Come in Planet Leemoe ..upon which this small internet world orbits..In your 3rd well researched post you have taken it upon yourself to make several assumptions..
1. that I am smart 2. that I care that you think I am smart 3. that I am addressing you personally with each of my posts and i.e. await your storied opinion on it's content and grammar 4. that I am diverted from the point of this thread.
My asssumptions (sic) are as follows..1. you have very little in the way of articulated ideas to offer this discussion..so you chose to lurk the edges as a young hall monitor and counterpunch the ideas with only your opinion 2. you are missing the point of this thread and have'nt don your homework beyond your one simplistic post.. ..please review the archives of this thread and my 300 subsequent posts and a thousand more to get the point..this thread exists because Team Ipod has breathed life into it when boring malcontents and senior know nothings and clueless opinionators killed it with vitriolic 400 hundred word rantings that made absolutly no sense to anyone but themselves... feel free to use your valuable time to correct any misspelling on those asssumptions Mr. Spell Check..
Heh Deadocmike..I think you misspelled your name...shouldn't that be Deaddocmike? please correct and sign in again as no one can understand a thing your writing...
"Come in Planet Leemoe ..upon which this small internet world orbits..In your 3rd well researched post you have taken it upon yourself to make several assumptions..
1. that I am smart 2. that I care that you think I am smart 3. that I am addressing you personally with each of my posts and i.e. await your storied opinion on it's content and grammar 4. that I am diverted from the point of this thread."
1. I never made nor ever will make that assumption! 2. See number 1. 3. Never made that assumption, although clearly you are addressing me by name in this one. 4. That one is shown by your posting, no need to make assumptions when the facts are posted.
i'm still wearing my ipod & headphones what sucks is i have to get a new nike+ sensor as they made it so there are no replacement batteries for the sensor.....just another marketing way to make more money....oh wait a second come to think about it....for all we know nike met with the usatf and decided hey let's draw more attention to running and ipod to stir sales... thus the ban on them to create more interest. all of us runners have rebel in us. how many "normal" people do you know who enjoy going for a 20 mile run on a weekend afternoon....Pre was a rebel as well. PRE LIVES and so DOES MUSIC in RACES
Whatever....I rest this pointless case and motion for a directed verdict from the jury..
Your honor.. I currently observe Mr. Spell Check and NHSenior share a kismet of brothers in arms and lack crediblity before the court...both having the nannie nannie boo boo whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you gene. If it please the court the state asks that defendant Leemoe have an original idea or factual argument and to set it free.... otherwise the state asks that defendant do homework and ignore any postings that he/she might disagree with or find to funny to handle....
"Whatever....I rest this pointless case and motion for a directed verdict from the jury.."
A directed verdict comes from the judge, not the jury. However, I do agree this is pointless. Feel free to take the last word.
Verdict come from the reading jury on this thread who eventually find you have a new thought , idea or an informed and passionate opinion or just like to run...up to this point you have displayed none of those. your intellignce (sic) hasn't been threatened...just your ablitiy to write anything of interest.
Directed verdict---A decision by a judge or [jury|http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/term/A995B7AA-5395-480B-BCE29DC73BB73103] that a [defendant|http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/term/C7AAE585-A77F-427D-93BD818074D23699] in a criminal case is not guilty of a crime. An acquittal is not a finding of innocence; it is simply a conclusion that the prosecution has not proved its case.
Did you miss me Lah? I know NH did, in fact he missed us all so much he had to start posting again! I hope all is going well for you and Team Ipod! I ran my first 25k last weekend, it was amazing. I have had some major problems with Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot so the last five miles were painful but fear not, my Ipod was duly hooked up and rocking me to the end. The feeling I got crossing that finish line was amazing, I am still smiling Now I am working on getting healthy again. I bought a Strassburg sock which has helped greatly. I had a great 5 miler this morning, very fast, so I think I am on the mend! How has everyone else been doing? Come on, fill Runner Chick'en in!
Wow! A number of arguments for and against the wonders of running "iPod!"
Hmmm...well, for one, as it regards safety, one reply notes that golfers are not prohibited from wearing them. Okay...but how likely is a golfer to run out in front of a car because he isn't listening?
Others regard the safety issue as bogus. I have to beg to differ, as would the handful of folks I've grabbed by the arm before they lurched out to cross a street in front of perhaps the same cars as above.
Chicago last year was certainly extreme - countless cries and instructions being shouted at runners during its frightening chaos...and many of those warnings unheeded and unheard. How many of these folks were found in medical tents later because they didn't hear the warnings ahead? Who knows?
I don't wear 'em and won't. I've just been a part of the bullet-dodging too many times...and for me, I'd rather you finish the run with me that we started together.
Run strong...McMahon
In the races I have run, I have yet to see any problems. I think that if you don't think they are safe then you shouldn't run with one. I on the other hand have never had any problems with any other Ipod racers/runners nor have I caused any problems so I will continue to run with mine. I was amazed at how many were wearing headphones during a 25k I recently ran. I didn't see any problems nor did I hear of any. I thought everyone was respectful of their fellow runners, headphones or not, and thus everyone had a great experience. Until I actually see some problems myself I cannot, in all good conscience, support a ban on Ipods in races.

Hackensack, New Jersey (October 7, 2005) — Sharsheret, a national not-for-profit organization supporting young Jewish women facing breast cancer, will launch three new programs in time for October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The programs will address the specific concerns of women living in the advanced stages of breast cancer and the needs of family members and caregivers, and will include a moderated web-based forum to build community and provide support for young Jewish women facing breast cancer nationwide.
Embrace, a program for women living with advanced breast cancer, will include individual counseling sessions with Sharsheret's staff counselor, as well as a monthly telephone-based support group that will connect women with medical experts and with each other. "For women who are facing metastatic breast cancer, individual supportive counseling and a phone-based support group will help manage anxieties and fears that are magnified beyond the diagnosis of breast cancer," says Shera Dubitsky, Sharsheret's Link Program Coordinator. "The tailored support and resources Sharsheret provides will help women living with advanced breast cancer feel less isolated and more connected with other Jewish women facing the same emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges."
The Family Focus Program will include resource materials to guide family members and caregivers through treatment and beyond. Sharsheret will establish "Ask Sharsheret," a phone line for family members to connect with Sharsheret representatives to ask questions regarding the care of their loved one or their own feelings and concerns. "Family members are affected when breast cancer touches someone they love and they often call Sharsheret with questions about breast cancer and their responsibilities as caregivers," says Sharsheret Program Director Elana Silber. "The Family Focus program has been developed to address these questions and to enhance the quality of support the women of Sharsheret receive from their families."
Sharsheret will also introduce a web-based forum to its website, www.sharsheret.org, that will allow women diagnosed with breast cancer and at high risk of developing breast cancer to post questions and comments moderated by Sharsheret staff members. The forum will broaden Sharsheret's national community, and enable women who seek privacy to connect with others who share their diagnosis and lifestyle.
In addition to launching new programs this Fall, Sharsheret will also expand some of its existing programs. Best Face Forward, a program to address the cosmetic side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, will be expanded to include resources regarding hair loss as a critical side effect of treatment. The Busy Box program, which provides resources for parents facing breast cancer and activities to occupy young children while mom is resting, will be expanded to include resources for teenage children coping with a parent's diagnosis.
About Sharsheret
Since the organization's founding in 2001, Sharsheret has received over 5,800 phone calls from those affected by breast cancer, health care professionals, women's organizations, Jewish organizations, and others interested in learning more about the important services Sharsheret provides nationwide.
Sharsheret has developed three core programs in response to the needs of young Jewish women facing breast cancer: The Link Program, a peer support network connecting young women newly diagnosed or at high risk of developing breast cancer with others who share similar diagnoses and experiences, Education and Outreach Programs, including health care symposia addressing the concerns of young women facing breast cancer, and Quality of Life Programs, including the Busy Box for young parents facing breast cancer, Best Face Forward to address the cosmetic side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and Embrace for women living with advanced breast cancer.
For more information about Sharsheret, or the new Fall programs, please call Program Director Elana Silber at (866) 474-2774 or visit www.sharsheret.org.

STOCKTON - A man was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and trying to remove a peace officer's weapon Wednesday following a bizarre series of events that unfolded over four days, police said.
According to authorities, 20-year-old Robert Hammer was involved in a family disturbance at his home shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Hammer then said he was going to kill someone and left the residence after arming himself with a gardening tool and a knife, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
A short time later, witnesses called police to report that the man was hitting himself in the head with the gardening tool, Silva said. Moments after that, Hammer allegedly attacked a 36-year-old man with the gardening tool.
The victim and his family were able to drive away, but they realized they had left another family member behind. When the victim returned to his home to get the other family member, Hammer knocked him to the ground and hit him with the gardening tool multiple times, Silva said.
The victim's family struck Hammer in the head with bricks and a shovel, but they were unable to stop him, Silva said. Hammer continued to struggle with officers after police arrived, but he was eventually taken into custody, Silva said. Hammer and the victim were both taken to hospitals for treatment of their injuries. The victim was listed in stable condition, authorities said.
On Monday, while being guarded by officers, Hammer began hearing voices and biting himself, Silva said. When officers attempted to stop the man from biting himself, Hammer tried to take a gun from an officer's holster, Silva said. Officers were able to restrain Hammer, who was released from the hospital Wednesday and taken to jail, Silva said.

How To Fight With Your Boyfriend
"You get in a fight and want some space—but that space doesn't exist anymore," says Aurora, 27.
The Solution: "If you're someone who really needs time alone after an argument, work out a system where you can sort of leave each other alone for a while," says Chiara Atik, relationship expert and author of Modern Dating: A Field Guide. "The ultimate goal is to feel just as at home when you're pissed off together in the apartment as when you're having a great night."
"After making a major decision to move in together, you then get the inevitable family question of, 'Well where do you see this going—marriage, babies, the works," says Aurora. "Nothing says 'stress' more than making one huge life decision and immediately being asked what your next big decision will be."
The Solution: "Easy—don't!" advises Atik. "Don't succumb to the pressure. Do your best to let comments from family and friends roll off your back, and concentrate on enjoying the present. Moving in together is a big deal! Let yourself sort of ease into that for a while, and discuss 'next steps' when you're both ready."

Spotify Valued at $3 Billion, but Where is the Missing Billion?
Good news for Spotify that it is now valued at $3 billion after closing its latest $100 million funding round. There aren't many European startups that can truly be said to be competing on a global scale.
The valuation is three times higher than at its last round.
However, at the risk of raining on Spotify's parade, our colleagues at All Things D have an interesting article a few days back which points out that not all that long ago, the company was looking for a $4 billion valuation.
So where is Spotify's missing billion?
Peter Kafka has the answer.
The most obvious answer is that all sorts of private market valuations for web companies have come down in recent months. That's because of the beatings that Facebook Zynga and Groupon have taken since they've gone public.
Note the publication date on the New York Times' report about Spotify's supposed $4 billion round: May 17 — a day before Facebook's troubled IPO.
But for Spotify, you can get a bit more specific if you want a reason to pass at $4 billion: Investors already know what a digital subscription business looks like at scale.

WACO, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis team saw three players advance past the first round on Friday at the annual Intercollegiate Tennis Association Texas Regional Championships. Play is set to continue throughout the weekend at the Hurd Tennis Center on the Baylor campus.
"I thought we competed very hard today," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "We did a good job of controlling the things we can control. They say you're either winning or you're learning, and we did some of both today."
In the opening round of singles, Maider Martin, Stefania Nicolae and Leanne Mascall came up with wins for the Islanders against players from Houston, UT Arlington and UTSA, respectively.
Martin, a freshman for the Islanders who won the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open, beat Charlotte Phillips, one of the top players from Houston, by a 6-3, 6-3 final to advance to the second round. There she faced No. 11-seeded Stefanie Tan from TCU, falling 6-2, 6-3 in the main draw.
"Maider is having an excellent fall, and she is getting better every week," said Moore. "She has the best attitude in the world, she is very coachable and her future is very bright."
Nicolae won a tough 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 match against Brooke Dennis of UTA in the opening round before taking a 6-1, 6-2 loss against No. 15-seeded Jordaan Sanford of Baylor.
"I thought Stefania showed a lot of courage to change her style and make the right adjustments that allowed her to win," said Moore.
Mascall advanced with a 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 victory over Irene Gandara of UTSA in the opening round, but fell by a 6-1, 6-1 score against No. 17-seeded Nataly Yoo of Southland rival Stephen F. Austin in the second round.
"I really thought Leanne fought extremely hard," said Moore. "She is a senior and she played with a lot of toughness and resiliency today. She's really raised her level and we're very proud of her."
Other singles match saw Sandra Burges fall 6-3, 6-3 in the first round, while Cassie Shaw came up short by a 6-2, 6-3 final and Venesa Figueroa lost 6-1, 6-0 to round out singles play on Friday.
In doubles action, the team of Figueroa and Shaw lost 8-6, Mascall and Nicolae fell by an 8-4 final and Burges and Martin suffered an 8-3 defeat in the opening round.
Men's action starts tomorrow at TCU, highlighted by Islander sophomore Peter Nagy, who is seeded No. 14 in the tournament.
"No doubt, this is one of, if not the toughest in NCAA Division I, so you better be ready to bring it every point at this tournament," said Moore. "That's what we teach them anyway, so this is good preparation for the spring."

Have you ever wanted to drive fast?
I mean, really fast?
In this Special Assignment, we take you to a place with no speed limits, where you can really put the pedal to the metal.
News 12 sent me, Meredith Anderson, through the Richard Petty Driving Experience at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. You drive a real stock car with a real sponsor.
How fast you actually go...depends entirely upon you.
NASCAR is all about speed, guts, and the trill. In a sport that's mostly made up of testosterone, News 12 adds a little estrogen. Mine.
The Richard Petty Driving experience is a chance for you to get behind the wheel. You don't just pretend to be a NASCAR driver, you get to be one.
At first, I wasn't nervous, but when I saw the cars and the track, and my mind began to race. Also, out of the 30 drivers, I am the only female. It's not just "gentleman" starting their engines today.
After getting buckled in, it's time. Here we go!
Suddenly, as I enter the track, the nerves are gone.
As I go faster and faster, I have to remind myself to breathe.
My heart is also pounding out of my chest, but it's not in a bad way. In fact, the adrenaline is incredible.
The 8 laps go by fast--literally.
There are no speedometers in the car, so you have to wait until your turn is over to find out how fast you actually went.
My fastest speed was 141 miles per hour.
Now, it's your turn. I can't wait to see what the speed does to you.
To see raw video of the track and Meredith's drive, click here.

Tickets for the Marietta Bicentennial Ball are available for $25 per person. The ball will be held April 9 at 9 p.m. at Marietta College's Ban Johnson Field House.
Marietta Mayor Nancy Hollister is planning on an in-depth look at the city's brick streets. While they are unique and historic, the care and repair of brick streets can cost up to 10 times that of maintaining asphalt streets. A decision will be made to either continue repairing them, or finding a cost efficient way to pave the ones in the worst condition.
100 years ago
Nearly 200 people attended the supper at First Baptist Church. The annual meeting was held afterward, where church finances were found to be in excellent shape.
Harry Yost brought suit against Lillian Ludington for a watch he gave her. After several questions were asked at the hearing, it was determined that Yost, 20, wasn't old enough to bring suit against anyone, and therefore didn't get his watch back from his former love.

Obama Takes Rare Stroll to Sign Spending Bill
As public housing goes, the White House isn't too shabby. But the massive security apparatus surrounding the modern presidency can make the first family feel a little cooped up.
Speaking at an event in Africa last year, First Lady Michelle Obama said "there are definitely elements that are confining" when living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
On Friday afternoon, hours after delivering his speech announcing changes in U.S. surveillance practices, President Barack Obama decided it was time for a walk.
So he left the White House grounds for a quick stroll to the New Executive Office Building, north of the White House, where he signed the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill. It was a good day for a walk. The rains that have soaked Washington, D.C., over the past weeks had subsided; the temp was 46 degrees.
"Whenever I get the chance to take a walk I seize it," Mr. Obama said, opening his remarks, according to the press pool report.

Permit-Required Hunting Areas
The access to Permit-Required Hunting Areas is regulated by agreement with private landowners, towns, and cooperating sportsmen's clubs. During the period from the third Saturday in October through the last day of February small game and waterfowl hunting on these areas requires a special permit and is subject to certain restrictions. Hunting during any other period requires landowner permission. Access to some DEEP-owned lands is also regulated through a permit system. Hunting on these DEEP-owned areas requires a special permit from the third Saturday in October through the first Saturday in December, unless otherwise posted. Maps describing each Permit-Required Area are available from permit vendors and the Wildlife Division. All Permit-Required Hunting Areas are posted with yellow plastic signs designating the properties under agreement. Permit-Required Hunting Areas are listed in the following sections, which are organized by county:
Public Hunting Areas: Fairfield – New Haven Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Litchfield – Hartford Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Middlesex – Tolland Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Windham – New London Counties
Daily Permits and Mandatory Survey: Permits are issued by the vendors listed in this guide on the following page. Each permit contains a survey card which must be returned to the DEEP within 48 hours.
Issuance of Daily Permits: Vendors issuing daily permits are required by the Division to issue permits as follows:
- Permits must be issued free of charge to any persons holding valid hunting licenses and who are not eligible for "season" permits.
- Only one (1) date should appear on each permit. Each permit is valid for one licensed sportsman for a specific day and that day only.
- Issue daily permits on a "first-come, first-served" basis only. Issue the specified number of daily permits for any specific day. Once that number is reached, no more permits can be made available for that day.
- Issue a separate permit for a licensed junior hunter. Junior hunters may hunt on Permit-Required areas when accompanied by a licensed person at least 18 years of age.
- A person may obtain permits for himself and no more than one other person at any one time (Exception: An adult may obtain a permit for himself and two licensed junior hunters). Personal appearance is not required but a valid hunting license (or a photocopy of the license) of the person to whom the permit is to be issued must be presented.
- The vendor retains the "Department Copy" stub of the permit. The remainder of the permit is to be given to the permittee.
- Permits cannot be issued for a day more than two days (excluding Sunday) from the date of request (see Table). The only exception to this rule involves permits for "opening day." Permits for the third Saturday in October, must be issued, if requested, beginning the prior Tuesday.
Date of Request Days for Which a Permit May Be Issued

Firearms Restrictions: Rifles of any caliber or shotgun ammunition larger or heavier than #2 shot and hunting with any pistol or revolver of any caliber are prohibited on permit-required hunting areas, except by landowners, lineal descendants, and regular employees. Waterfowlers hunting from a boat, blind or stationary position may use up to and including BB size steel shot. Rifles, pistols or shotguns without regard to caliber or shot sizes may be used for legal hunting during the period from the last day in February to the third Saturday in October, only with written permission from the landowner. During firearms deer seasons, deer hunters with the proper permits and written landowner permission are also exempt from these firearms restrictions.
Deer and Turkey Hunting: Deer and turkey hunting on private permit-required lands requires valid private land permits and consent forms signed by the individual private landowner. State shotgun deer and state spring turkey permits are available on some cooperatively managed properties and state-owned areas (see Deer Hunting and Turkey Hunting). Some state managed Permit-Required Areas are open for fall archery deer, fall archery turkey and fall firearms turkey hunting. Unless specified, a daily permit is not required to archery hunt deer or turkey or firearms hunt turkey on these state managed areas, which are listed in the following sections:
Public Hunting Areas: Fairfield – New Haven Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Litchfield – Hartford Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Middlesex – Tolland Counties
Public Hunting Areas: Windham – New London Counties

WASHINGTON (November 14, 2012)--President Barack Obama said Wednesday the economy cannot afford a tax increase on all Americans and called on congressional Republicans to support an extension of existing tax rates for households earning $250,000 or less.
Mr. Obama said he is confident that he and Congress can reach an agreement that avoids a so-called "fiscal cliff" on Jan. 1, when all tax rates would revert to Clinton-era levels and a series of deep spending cuts kick in.
Mr. Obama addressed the fiscal cliff at the opening of a press conference Wednesday in the White House.
Mr. Obama says he will not agree to any budget deal that extends current tax rates for the wealthiest taxpayers, saying their rates should rise to help raise revenue.
He says voters in the election validated his stand.
Congressional Republicans have said they would be willing to include new tax revenue in a deficit reduction deal, but they have been adamant that the tax rates themselves must not increase.
Mr. Obama also said Wednesday says he wants to begin a national "conversation" on climate change.
Mr. Obama said his administration has taken steps to combat global warming, such as sharply increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.
But he said, "We haven't done as much as we need to" on global warming, which was virtually ignored during the presidential campaign until Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast.
Mr. Obama did not outline specific legislation, but said he would talk with scientists, engineers and elected officials to find ways to make short-term progress to reduce carbon emissions.
After that, he said the country should begin long-term efforts "to make sure that this is not something we're passing on to future generations."
The president was also questioned about the scandal surrounding the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus.
Mr. Obama said he has no evidence that the scandal had a negative impact on national security.
In his first comments on the scandal, Mr. Obama said that from what he's seen, no classified information was disclosed that would harm national security.
The president spoke five days after Petraeus resigned as head of the Central Intelligence Agency after disclosing he had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Mr. Obama says he's withholding judgment on the timing of the revelations that Petraeus was under investigation.
Officials have said that Mr. Obama was not told about the investigation until after the election.
He said he has "a lot of confidence generally" in the FBI, which is conducting the inquiry.
