All across Silicon Valley, the past year was filled practically to the brim with killer quotes out of the mouths of (reality TV show) babes, billionaires and budding entrepreneurs.
We had deep thoughts from CEOs playing musical chairs, embarrassing mea culpas from corporate chieftains and whining from startup celebrities with too much twittering time on their hands. All in all, we couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Here are some of our favorite sound bites from a well-chewed year.
"Silicon Valley is high school, except it's only the smart kids, and everyone has a lot of money." -- Kim Taylor, entrepreneur and cast member of "Startups: Silicon Valley," Bravo's critically disdained reality TV show produced by Mark Zuckerberg's sister Randi and highlighting the lives of aspiring tech superstars
"Instagram has no intention of selling your photos, and we never did. We don't own your photos -- you do." -- Kevin Systrom, co-founder of the popular and now Facebook-owned photo-social app, in a blog post apologizing to outraged users for the insensitive way the service announced updates to its terms of service agreement.
"I believe Larry Ellison will bring a new and fresh perspective to the island and its people." -- David Murdock, the Los Angeles billionaire who controls Dole Food Co. on his sale to Oracle (ORCL) founder Larry Ellison of pretty much the entire Hawaiian island of Lanai. Estimated price tag: $500 million???
"The wealth from our family came from Microsoft, so why would we invest in a competitor?" -- Melinda Gates, philanthropist and wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, on British radio in reference to her kids having asked her for Apple (AAPL) products. Instead, she said, they will be receiving "Windows technology.''
"The thing that surprised me is that the job is really fun ... and the baby's been easy. The baby's been way easier than everyone made it out to be. I've been really lucky that way.'' -- Newly minted Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer, speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women event in November about the two new loves of her life -- her work gig and her first child, son Macallister Bogue. She returned to the former just two weeks after having delivered the latter on Sept. 30.
"Others have tried to make tablets smaller than the iPad, and they've failed miserably. These are not great experiences." -- Apple's marketing guru Phil Schiller in October as his company unveiled its mini iPad, which he obviously believes offers an insanely great experience.
"What's a better story (than) millionaire madman on the run? You, the media, saved my (expletive deleted) because you paid attention to the story. As long as you are reporting, it is hard to whack somebody that the world is watching." -- Eccentric millionaire and rabid publicity-hound John McAfee, speaking to ABC News after dodging authorities trying to question him about the death of his expat American neighbor in Belize. McAfee founded the anti-virus software company bearing his name.
"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better." -- Apple CEO Tim Cook, apologizing for the company's new and much-criticized mapping app.
There is "nothing seriously wrong with me." -- Google (GOOG) CEO Larry Page in an email reportedly reassuring employees after rumors swirled about an unspecified condition affecting his voice. Whatever it was, it caused the Google co-founder to sit out the annual shareholders meeting in June and remain out of the public spotlight for months last summer.
"Well, the performance of the stock has obviously been disappointing." -- Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, shortly after the company made its historic and car-crash-ugly IPO in May. The stock lost half its value as investors became increasingly anxious about the social network's ability to make money from mobile advertising.

Nothing to Sneeze At
© istockphoto.com
Is it your imagination, or do the congestion, coughing and other symptoms that go along with nasal and respiratory allergies seem to be affecting more people every year—and for longer periods? With so many allergy sufferers appearing symptomatic from January through December, you might wonder whether the term "seasonal allergies" has become obsolete.
An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from some type of allergy, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Some exhibit allergic reactions to ingested foods or drugs, and some to skin contact with substances such as latex or certain plants. But the primary allergies in most people are referred to as "indoor/outdoor," meaning that their immune system reacts to a protein substance, or allergen, in their environment that is breathed in or touched.
And allergens abound. "There are trees in spring, grass in summer, weeds in fall, and year-round dust mites and animal dander," explains Dr. Nkiruka Erekosima, allergist/immunologist at Johns Hopkins Hospitals and Medical Centers, Baltimore, Maryland. And, according to Erekosima, the increased suffering is not imagined. "With climate changes and global warming, pollens last longer than they used to," she confirms. "Pollen counts stay high, and patients suffer more and worse symptoms."
Where do you come in? Although prescription medications, over-the-counter preparations and age-old home remedies—sometimes in regimented combinations—provide relief, your spa services and retail products can still do much to help clients who suffer from this nagging medical problem.
The Ins and Outs
Indoor/outdoor allergy sufferers experience seemingly endless congestion and runny nose, and it doesn't stop there: They may have sinus pain and inflammation, red and itchy eyes, sore and scratchy throats, ear pain and coughs. Allergies can lead to wheezing and breathing problems including extrinsic asthma, a condition in which the airways become blocked. Asthma, in turn, can cause chest pain, shortness of breath and even fatigue.
While allergies can strike anyone at any time, there is a genetic predisposition. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation reports that if one of a child's parents has allergies, the chances are one in three that the child will have allergies as well. If both parents have the condition, that chance increases to seven in 10. And although allergies are most likely to develop in childhood, the symptoms may not present until later in life, or during times when exposure to the allergens is higher.
Geographical location can also contribute to nasal and respiratory allergies. "Allergens are often present in areas with high humidity," says Erekosima. "For example, dust mites grow when there is more water content in the air. They don't grow in dry climates."
Although there is no "cure" for allergies, they can go into remission—unfortunately, they can also return with no warning.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence police have warrants for two men accused of viciously beating a 78-year-old man during an armed home invasion Saturday.
Joel Valdez, 25, and Wilbert Richardson, 39, are wanted for the brazen attack at 122-124 Ontario St., detective Sgt. William Dwyer Jr. said Thursday.
Two men forced their way into the third-floor apartment, where they pistol-whipped the tenant and then attacked his landlord as he tried to intervene.
Delor M. Cabral, who owns the multifamily house, suffered severe head injuries and remains in critical condition at Rhode Island Hospital's intensive care unit. His tenant, Jonathan Angilly, 26, who was growing medical marijuana in the apartment, was treated for his injuries.
The police have said that Angilly was targeted for the robbery, but declined comment on motive. The suspects demanded "the black box," but all they got was Angilly's iPhone, Dwyer said.
Valdez, who has skipped out on bail on other crimes, is also wanted on other, unrelated charges, said Maj. David Lapatin.
Both Valdez and Richardson are facing charges of felony assault on a person over 60, assault with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering, first-degree robbery, possession of a device similar to a firearm, and conspiracy.

MAKES ABOUT 5 1/2 QUARTSThe dry ingredients develop a mild, sweet, almost candylike scent. The optional essential oils produce a stronger, longer-lasting, more seasonal fragrance. When measuring the dry ingredients, pack them loosely in the measuring cup so you don't crush them.
Ingredients• 4 cups red rose petals• 2 1/2 cups lavender flowers• 2 cups each anise hyssop flowers, flowering tops of peppermint, pink rosebuds, oakmoss, and sweet woodruff leaves• 1/2 cup each allspice berries, aniseed, and cloves• 1 cup each cinnamon chips, rosemary (or substitute pine or fir needles), holy basil tops (if not available, substitute sweet Annie or increase the aniseed), and chopped calamus root• 1 vanilla bean, chopped in 1/4-inch pieces• 1/2 teaspoon tangerine essential oil (optional)• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon essential oil (optional)• 1/4 teaspoon pine or fir essential oil (optional)
1. Combine the dry ingredients, stirring gently to blend. Add the essential oils if desired. Mix well. 2. Age the mixture in jars in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. 3. Adjust the fragrance with additional materials if necessary. Keep the potpourri in sealed glass jars in a cool, dark place until it's time to package it for gifts or display it.
To show off your potpourri, place it in a large container: perhaps a cut-glass punch bowl, a pretty tin, a silver epergne, or a lined basket. Top it with your prettiest, most colorful blossoms or with some of the "finishing touches" described in the main article.

A Helping Hand
Monday, 04.16.2007 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
April 16, 2007
The Buffalo Sabres were able to maintain success in the regular season even though the team was hit by injuries. A huge reason why players such as Drew Stafford, Daniel Paille, Clarke MacArthur, and Michael Ryan were able to transition so well to the Sabres was because of the impact Rochester Americans head coach Randy Cunneyworth has had at the AHL level.
Guiding Rochester for the past seven seasons, Cunneyworth has been instrumental in getting players ready for the NHL through his own dedication and work ethic. Ryan Miller, Derek Roy, and Jason Pominville have all received tutelage from Cunneyworth and all have blossomed into the players that they are today with his help.

I noticed this week that AOL has changed its "feed back loop" reports
to completely remove the recipient/subscriber from its spam reports.
In the past I had set the number of recipients for AOL to "1" and
could easily see the name of the recipient in a Received header -- now
every address everywhere appears to be "redacted". Any suggestions
for tracking these folks? At the very least I would like to tell the
senders (in my case, often university faculty) that their email is
being reported as spam.
Thanks for any help,

I have an IBM GEN5 tape drive in a new xSeries server. Some things
work, other do not. For example, cleaning cartridges load and clean
like they are supposed to. The first time I issue a command to the
drive I get the Vendor string recorded in /var/adm/messages. I can do
various tape commands including status, xstatus, getcomp, and they all
seem to behave normally.
However, when I put a data tape in, once inside there is one very
brief flash of the green media led. Immediately, the tape is
ejected. There are no error messages.
The drive is the only device on 1 channel of a ServeRAID 6m
controller, though it seemed to behave the same on an ad320
Any ideas?

Definition of leewardly in English:
Entry from British & World English dictionary
(Of a ship) liable to drift to leeward when sailing close to the wind.
Example sentences
- I have the honour to inform you that the Honourable Company's steamer 'Nemesis,' under my command, was obliged to part company with the fleet, being light, and consequently very leewardly.
- Rivers demanded shallow craft, so the Orkney-man in the service built his river boats with 'flat floors' which made them very leewardly; but he retained the high bow and stern posts of his island fishing boats, and their two sharp ends.
- A smaller sailing ship with the same relative proportions as a larger ship was doomed by the mathematics of the situation to be a more leewardly ship.

My baby is five months old and has been waking every three hours for a feed since he was born! He is breast fed and is now having three meals a day and still insists on the breast three times a night!

Post subject: Night Feeding
My daughter is 15 weeks old and has just started to sleep through the night, it hasn't been easy but what I have been doing is every time she wakes for a feed through the night I am giving her her dummy, I was up and down all night putting it back in her month when she spat it out and I must admit I wanted to just pick her out feed her and put her back down so that I could go back to sleep. But now I think she must have got fed up just being offered the dummy when she wakes that she now thinks its not worth waking up for milk because I'm not getting any. It is hard at first because you are up and down all night but look at the result, she now sleeps from around 9pm to 8am. It took about a week of doing this and last night was the fourth night she has slept through. Try it you never know !

Pawel Wolak is finally on the cusp of the big fights – the kind of high-profile encounters he's always dreamed about.
With an impressive performance against veteran Delvin Rodriguez at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on Friday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN 2), THE RING's No. 8-rated junior middleweight will be primed for a noteworthy fight on the PPV undercard of the rematch between Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto, slated for Dec. 3.
The Mount Arlington, New Jersey-based pressure-fighter, originally from Poland, crashed the boxing scene in August of 2008, headlining a ShoBox card against Ishe Smith in Brooklyn, N.Y. It was a fight Wolak (29-1, 19 KOs) was expected to win, but he ran into problems with Smith's slick style and sharp punching, dropping a close 10-round decision for his first professional defeat.
Since the setback, the fighter known as "The Raging Bull", for his all-out pressure style, has worked tirelessly to improve at his craft. The hard work paid dividends this past March, when he notched his career-best victory, a six round domination of top-10 contender Yuri Foreman.
Wolak relentlessly-pressured Foreman from the opening bell, wearing down his foe, leading to Foreman retiring on his stool after the sixth round. Wolak won every round on all three cards, an impressive feat considering the problems Foreman gave Cotto in 2010.
The 29-year-old Wolak points to many contributing factors to his continued development since the loss to Smith.
"Not only just from training camp, how to get my body ready to be in the best shape it possibly can before for the fight, but just a combination of getting your body to the best possible form to improved training, meaning a whole new corner with Tommy Brooks and "Terrific" [Aroz Gist]," said Wolak, who trains at Global Boxing Gym in North Bergen, N.J. "Getting older, wiser, and more physical, stronger and better conditioning. All those things combined have helped me to improve since my loss to Ishe."
Wolak, unlike many other world-class fighters, has a full-time day job – he's a construction worker in New York City.
"Of course it's very tough … work is very physical, it's very hard," said Wolak, a 2004 business graduate of Berkeley College in midtown Manhattan. "Going from brickwork to roofing to putting up scaffolds, it's very tough, physical work. It's hard to find time, but I do it.
"My boss actually gives me six or seven weeks off for each fight. I'm in the gym almost every day, even when I do work regular. But if I have a definite fight set, I take off from work and focus strictly on the boxing and then we start regular camp."
Before Wolak can make it to the television slot on the Margarito-Cotto 2 card, though, he has to impress on Friday against Rodriguez, something that isn't lost on the former two-time New York Golden Gloves finalist.
"Obviously, with Delvin, this is a very important fight, I gotta look good, I have to impress, I have to win," said Wolak. "I'd love to be involved one way or another [with the Margarito-Cotto 2 card], what's going to happen obviously depends on what's going to happen this Friday.
"It's going to be a tough fight, Delvin is a tough opponent. I expect the best from him."
With a few big wins, Wolak may be able to quit his full-time construction job and ply his craft as a pugilist 'round the clock.

Apollo and Daphne
Apollo and Daphne Summary
How It (Supposedly) Went Down
- Apollo has just killed the Python, a gigantic snake, and he's feeling really full of himself.
- The god comes across Cupid (called Eros by the Greeks).
- Apollo teases Cupid about his archery, saying that Cupid is nowhere as good with the bow and arrow as he is.
- Cupid doesn't appreciate Apollo's teasing and decides to mess with the rival god's heart.
- The little winged god of desire fires off two arrows.
- One arrow is tipped with gold and is designed to make people fall in love.
- The other is tipped with lead and does the opposite.
- Cupid nails Apollo with the golden arrow of love, and shoots a nymph named Daphne with the arrow tipped with lead.
- Instantly, Apollo falls in love with Daphne, but she finds the idea of loving anybody totally gross.
- Daphne tells her father, Peneus (a river god), that she wants to always be a virgin like the goddess Artemis (Apollo's twin sister, Diana to the Romans).
- Peneus tells his daughter that she owes him some grandchildren.
- She keeps begging, though, and Peneus agrees to his daughter's request, telling her that she'll never have to get married.
- However, the river god cryptically adds, "Your own face will forbid it."
- (Duh, duh, duh…Foreshadowing!)
- Anyway, thanks to Cupid's shenanigans Apollo is now totally in love with Daphne. He chases her all around the woods, trying to convince her of how completely awesome he is.
- Daphne is not having it, however, and just keeps on running.
- Eventually, Apollo catches up with the beautiful nymph. When he just about has her, Daphne calls out for her father to help her.
- Peneus does what any concerned father would do – he turns his lovely daughter into a tree.
- Yep, before Apollo can get to her, Daphne is encased in bark, rooted to the ground, and has sprouted leaves.
- Apollo's ladylove becomes a laurel tree.
- As you might imagine, Apollo is pretty upset. He declares that he will never forget Daphne and makes the laurel his sacred tree.
- Apollo says that he will wear a crown of laurel on his head and decorate his bow and lyre (a harp-like musical instrument) with laurel leaves.
- The grief-stricken god swears to the laurel tree that it will always stay green and never rot.
- The laurel tree bows its head in gratitude.

Skip to comments.Trayvon Martin case: 'Blacks are under attack,' says Jesse Jackson
Posted on 03/23/2012 4:57:25 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said Friday that he's grateful the rest of the country has sat up and taken notice of the tragic slaying of Trayvon Martin. But he can't help but wonder: Why has it taken so long for everyone else to recognize the chronic injustices that African Americans face?
"We're surprised that everyone else is surprised," Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. African Americans have tried for decades to get the rest of America to understand their plight, he said, particularly their beliefs that justice is still elusive in many parts of America, especially the Deep South.
Then along comes the Trayvon Martin case, and facts that are not in contention: Volunteer neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman pursued and then gunned down the unarmed 17-year-old last month, and never faced arrest because police said there was no evidence to contradict his claim that he fired in self-defense.
"I hope that this will be a transformative moment," Jackson said.
Jackson was speaking Friday morning from the Chicago offices of his Rainbow PUSH Coalition. He had just returned from duties in Belgium and Switzerland. He was in Geneva on Wednesday as part of a delegation of religious leaders trying to find a way to end the violence in Syria. Jackson was preparing to get back on a plane for a flight south so he can add his voice to the growing protests in and around Sanford, Fla., where Martin's shooting took place.
Jackson said the Martin case is getting plenty of media attention overseas, attention that is both embarrassing to white America and humiliating to black America.

Blacks attack Blacks way more than Whites attack Blacks. That's a fact jack.
Blacks are under attack by minorities with white sounding names.....
Wondered when Jessie was going to stop chasing young girls and join the re-election team.
Under counterattack, perhaps.
If that were true, it would take about two days.
Weren't like 6 people shot and killed in the city of Chicago alone just the other day? Why are we paying so much attention to Trayvon again?
So are British tourist when visiting Sarasota, Fl
Shawn Tyson murdered two tourist after first humiliating them by making them pull their pants down and beg for their lives and then killing them. Didn't even bother to rob them. Just wanted to kill em. Shawn was 17 at the time and had just been released for a detention center.
Is sharpton, jackson, farakan or wright going down there to say the British are under attack?
Time for the balck people to try some new leaders, jesse, al, et al, have been b!tching and whining about the same crap for 50+ years and apparently haven't solved a single problem.
Time for someone to lead them that has a better message and can do more than scream "racism".
It's tragic about Trayvon Martin. It was a crime, no doubt... I just wished the race baiters would hold back just this once... sad to see it didn't happen.

This is not going to end well.
Anyone think George Zimmerman can get a fair trial?
Think whites are going to feel comfortable about being stereotyped based on the actions of hispanic George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida?
Think Obama will benefit from racial anger boiling over? (I don't).
Why again is America racist when our president is black?
Why would anyone allow Al "blood on his hands" Sharpton to accuse police of anything (again)?
Can Sharpton really get away with this after causing Koreans to be racially firebombed in NYC?
Its going to be a long hot summer
This just happened two weeks ago...not a peep.
Black Teens set kid on fire for being 'white boy'
Race baiting whores abound..
Hard to believe anyone regardless of color, pays any attention to this individual.
To the race baiters it's okay for black to murder blacks however it's not okay for a non-black to defend themselves against a black.
10 killed and 40 wounded. Just another "normal weekend" in Chi-Town...
"same crap for 50+ years and apparently havent solved a single problem."
They don't want to solve any problems..there is too much money still to be made off the "racial problem"
Black POTUS, black Sanford city manager, hispanic shooter
Equals white racism?
But hey if Obama wants to preside over a black/ hispanic race war that's his call.
Uhhh Jesse... Philadelphia 'flash mobs': black mayor takes aim at black community
Keeping with the SOP of the main stream media. After every islamist terrorist attack the MSM is quick to make muslims a victim by claiming threats of retaliation against muslims.
Why don't "the crackers" take a cue from the MSM and claim that same victim hood by saying they fear attacks from blacks that the president and rev. al and jackson are inciting.
You wonder, if in a same world, whites would continue to pretend race doesn't matter and that they are not under siege.
Child's play.
Google Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome...and notice you only find local news stories and those are alarming in the barbarity. Truly alarming..
This is so disgusting, I'll put a strong warning on it. And it wasn't considered a "hate crime."
Good thing race baiter Jesse Jackson and his corrupt son are on the case, bettering the lives of all the blacks "under attack" in Chicago.
Solving problems is not their goal. Shootin' their mouths off on national "news" shows and stirring up the angry mob is all they know.
Rioting will come next, no matter what the outcome of this latest "cause" of theirs.
By the Democrats trying to keep them on the government's plantation.
I feel uneasy, too.
The Detroit mayor was hospitalized yesterday for some sort of gastric upset. It's not life-threatening but the whole Detroit area and the capital is simmering because of the financial train wreck the city has crafted for itself. Story after story has been hitting the papers of stolen money - both state and federal - who's going to pay it back, Detroiters want the state to bail them out, want to keep control of the city, and so on. It's been "our people" against "those people" (IYKWIM) for decades and they're using racism as any and every excuse not to clean up the graft.
Obama will use race in the election, especially if he's struggling in the polls. This could get very serious, indeed.
I live in the New Orleans area and the blacks are killing each other every day nobody is coming down here and complaining. Please tell me why they are calling this guy white and not Latino?
Here's the story link:
Jesse, do you think whites are not under attack?
OBAMA, if you had a mother, would she look like Nancy Strait??
White 85 year old partially blind Nancy Strait was robbed, tortured, raped and beaten to death just the other day in Oklahoma by a gang of feral blacks.
Her 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.
While the Zimmerman white on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by African Americans in Oklahoma just the other day?
Theres a lot more here than a home invasion and robbery.
90 year old husbands jaw broken and shot in face with BB gun?
85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??
Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage
Where is the outrage?
This is a rerun of the despicable 1996 Clinton campaign ads "Black churches are burning!"
These people are so dim that their playbook takes up half a page, and most of that is bullet points.
The new racial designation floating around is White Hispanic
Did he mention the shooter was hispanic? I didn't think so.
Some have said that Obama would find a way to declare martial law if it looked like he was going to lose. Sure looks like they're trying to whip up some kind of civil war over this shooting.
Politicians need to stop fanning the flames before they tear this country apart. It's a virtual lynch mob that's going to materialize if these morons don't stop.
Latinos can't be *racist murderers*; Whites can be because "they have the power". So the race-baiters' fallacious argument goes.
This man was a trespasser in a gated community. Did he hop the Gate.? The security guard is part Hispanic and mainly Negroe. Let me point out a criminal worth demonstrations until he is executed. It is that Nidal Hussein who shot 45 unarmed people at Ft Hood. What the hell happened to that trial? Are we just going to forget it? And I don't want any action against that war hero (4 tours of duty) that went insane and killed all those afganies after they killed 6 American soldiers following the burning of their internal conspiracy notes written in their book written 600 years after the Bible. Not one legal proceeding until after the execution of Nidal Hussein!! This country is doomed.
Then perhaps they might want to consider not being criminals.
FBI statistics confirm the simple fact that blacks who are 12% of the population comprise 30% of suspects charged under the hate crime law. On a per capita basis this one group has the highest participation in hate crimes.
I did 4 searches on this shooting/murder and found 1 mention at a site called stormfront, which looked very ugly, so I won't post it here. No other mention, anywhere.
"Please tell me why they are calling this guy white and not Latino?"
If you can stir up the black community and get some good riots started, everyone is tuned into the news.
Disgusted that Hannity spent his whole radio show today and half of yesterdays show on this topic. It happened a month ago and the news whores are now just figuring out how to capitalize on this event. The latino vs. black argument doesn't sell as well as white vs. black.
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.
― Jesse Jackson
That part of your post is not correct. He was either visiting his Dad or his Dad's girlfriend's home. I'm not quite clear which it was.
But the point is, he was not trespassing.
I had to stop reading about that attack.......My blood was beginning to boil. My only hope is that these scumbags suffer a horrible death while in prison. And I don't mean their lethal injections. Something 1000 times more horrific.
His name is giving the left cover for this media frenzy. George Zimmerman doesn't sound Latino enough. If this guy was called Pedro Garcia the press would have avoided this story like the plague.
Jesse must think Zimmerman is Jewish....
Your right Jesse, blacks are under attack..by OTHER blacks..Hey Jesse, try going to Compton or South Central during the day, you will see that everyday black men, women, and children are shot and killed by other blacks, but of course you won't hear this in the media

As part of the research and teaching activities of the faculty at Juniata College a number of infectious agents defined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as category I or II agents may be present in selected laboratories. Category I agents are not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans. Category II agents include the broad spectrum of indigenous moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human disease of varying severity. No infectious agents above biosafety level II are to be used at Juniata College.
Category I agents require biosafety laboratory 1 (BSL1) and category II agents require biosafety laboratory 2 (BSL2) containment and handling procedures. The recommended biosafety level(s) represent those conditions under which the agent ordinarily can be safely handled. Faculty assigned with oversight of laboratories are specifically and primarily responsible for assessing the risks and appropriately applying the recommended biosafety levels. The requirements associated with BSL1 and BSL2 laboratories are summarized below.
Biosafety Level 1 practices, safety equipment, and facility design and construction are appropriate for undergraduate and secondary educational training and teaching laboratories, and for other laboratories in which work is done with defined and characterized strains of viable microorganisms not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans.
Many agents not ordinarily associated with disease processes in humans are, however, opportunistic pathogens and may cause infection in the young, the aged, and immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. Vaccine strains that have undergone multiple in vivo passages should not be considered avirulent simply because they are vaccine strains.
Biosafety Level 1 represents a basic level of containment that relies on standard microbiological practices with no special primary or secondary barriers recommended, other than a sink for handwashing.
Biosafety Level 2 practices, equipment, and facility design and construction are applicable to clinical, diagnostic, teaching, and other laboratories in which work is done with the broad spectrum of indigenous moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human disease of varying severity. With good microbiological techniques, these agents can be used safely in activities conducted on the open bench, provided the potential for producing splashes or aerosols is low. Level 2 is appropriate when work is done with any human-derived blood, body fluids, tissues, or primary human cell lines where the presence of an infectious agent may be unknown.
Primary hazards to personnel working with these agents relate to accidental percutaneous or mucous membrane exposures, or ingestion of infectious materials. Extreme caution should be taken with contaminated needles or sharp instruments. Even though organisms routinely manipulated at Biosafety Level 2 are not known to be transmissible by the aerosol route, procedures with aerosol or high splash potential that may increase the risk of such personnel exposure must be conducted in primary containment equipment, or in devices such as a biological safety cabinet or safety centrifuge cups. Other primary barriers should be used as appropriate, such as splash shields, face protection, gowns, and gloves.
Secondary barriers such as handwashing sinks and waste decontamination facilities must be available to reduce potential environmental contamination.
The use of infectious agents will be limited to volumes of less than 10 liters in any single experiment, unless a detailed protocol has been approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee. Such a protocol will be required to conform to CDC guidelines covering the use of large volumes of infectious agents.
Processing of infectious waste
The following guidelines for the handling and disposal of infectious waste will be followed. These protocols are based on Pennsylvania requirements and recommendations of the CDC and constitute good laboratory practice.
Infectious waste will be separated into three categories: dry waste, liquid waste and sharps.
Appropriate containers for infectious waste, designated by biohazard labels, will be available in laboratories utilizing infectious agents. All biohazard waste will be placed in such labeled containers which will be removed every 30 days by a licensed contractor. Per Pennsylvania Code 284.413, if infectious waste becomes putrescent during the 30 day storage period, it must be moved offsite within 24 hours for processing or disposal. Prior to placing material in biohazard containers, dry waste shall be autoclaved. Autoclave indicator tape shall be used to insure complete inactivation of viable infectious agents. In the case of liquid waste, the autoclaved fluids will be washed down the sink. Razor and scalpel blades and hypodermic needles exposed to infectious agents shall be placed in designated biohazard sharps containers. Glass pipets exposed to infectious agents shall be placed in heavy cardboard or rigid plastic containers marked with biohazard symbols. Sealed containers with sharps or glass pipets may be placed inside designated biohazard containers provided the word "Sharps" is written clearly on the side of the box.

CFO Moves: Motorola Solutions, Bemis Co., Rent-A-Center
Motorola Solutions, an electronics maker based in Schaumburg, Ill., named acting finance chief Gino Bonanotte to the CFO role on a permanent basis. Mr. Bonanotte had served as acting CFO since Ed Fitzpatrick departed the company by mutual agreement in August after 15 years with the firm and more than four years as CFO. Motorola Solutions didn't immediately disclose updated compensation information for Mr. Bonanotte, if any, but in August it said his salary was increased to $365,000 and he would be granted 3,032 restricted stock units and options to acquire 16,040 more shares.
Bemis, a packaging maker based in Neenah, Wis., said Scott Ullem resigned as CFO to pursue other opportunities. He will remain with the company through the end of the year to help with the transition of his duties. Bemis has begun a search for his replacement, and named Jerry Krempa, its controller, as its principal accounting officer, effective immediately. In 2012, Mr. Ullem received total compensation valued at $1.8 million, including a $500,000 salary, a $407,875 bonus and stock awards valued at $909,418, according to its most recent proxy statement.
Rent-A-Center, a Plano, Texas-based chain of rent-to-own stores, said on Wednesday that its co-founder and Chief Executive, Mark Speese, would retire at the end of January and be succeeded by CFO Robert Davis. Mr. Davis, a 20-year company veteran who has been CFO since 1999 and is also its treasurer, was also elected to its board of directors, and Rent-A-Center said Mr. Speese will remain chairman after he retires. Mr. Davis's salary will increase to $750,000, the company said in a regulatory filing, $200,000 a year below what his predecessor received in 2012 but a more than $300,000 raise from what Mr. Davis made that year. Last year, Mr. Davis received total compensation valued at almost $1.2 million, including a salary of $446,700, a $229,716 bonus and equity awards valued at $453,159, according to its proxy.

Wang, LL, Wang, YS, Xin, JY, Li, ZQ, Wang, XY (2010). Assessment and comparison of three years of Terra and Aqua MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth Retrieval (C005) in Chinese terrestrial regions. ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH, 97(2-Jan), 229-240.
AbstractThe latest MODIS aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval algorithm (C005) based on analyses of global AERONET data for both Terra and Aqua satellites has gradually supplanted the older algorithm (C004) since 2006. However, due to few AERONET sites in China, assessing applications of MODIS products over Chinese terrestrial regions for both Terra and Aqua is very necessary, including evaluating and comparing differences between Terra and Aqua. In this study, three years of Terra and Aqua AODs (C005) were analyzed over Chinese terrestrial regions using long-term and large-scale ground-based network observation data, from the Chinese Sun Hazemeter Network (CSHNET). The results show that C005 MODIS aerosol products (C005) have enough accuracy over China, with the same correlation coefficient (R) similar to 0.86, the slope similar to 1.006 and 0.990, the offset similar to-0.043 and -0.038, 53% and 50% of collocated data within the expected errors for Terra and Aqua, respectively, though there existed differences in different ecosystems and geographic locations. Overall, the MODIS products underestimated by 0.03 or 9% for Terra, 0.02 or 6% for Aqua, and more underestimation (11-16%) was noted in summer and autumn, which is based on annual and seasonal means of all sites. For different Angstrom exponent (alpha) ranges, the MODIS underestimated by 0.03 or 8% at the moderate alpha, and 0.07 or 27% for the fine (alpha>1.5) and coarse (alpha<0.5) modes, which dominated for both Terra and Aqua. Remarkably, there are no very significant differences between Terra and Aqua AODs based on long-term statistical Terra and Aqua AODs for different Angstrom exponent (alpha) ranges and regional monthly averages Over China, which confirms that either the Terra or Aqua estimate of AOD over China is a valid representation of the daily average, though there may be a diurnal cycle near aerosol emission regions. Moreover, the magnitude of the differences of regional monthly mean Terra and Aqua AODs varied from region to region and increased with aerosol loading, but there was no significantly consistent negative or positive bias between Terra and Aqua AODs in each region over China.

Kinder Morgan Also Pushing Controversial Pipeline in Arizona
Mar 22nd, 2013
Kinder Morgan is the company responsible for building the Tennessee natural gas pipeline in Pennsylvania and also the company pushing to build a new TransMountain pipeline across indigenous land in Canada to transport tar sands to the country's west coast. Both of these projects are the target of ongoing resistance campaigns.
Turns out the same company is also pushing a natural gas pipeline across sensitive habitat (is there any other kind?) in southern Arizona:
The Pima County Board of Supervisors will officially oppose a planned natural gas pipeline between Tucson and Sasabe.
In a unanimous vote Tuesday, the board approved a resolution opposing the pipeline and plans to protest the project in the federal approval process.
Kinder Morgan has applied to build a 59-mile pipeline through the Altar Valley and next to the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge.
The planned route "is the worst possible route and will cause the most damage," the board's resolution states.
The $204 million Sierrita Pipeline Project is scheduled for construction next year.
Jenny Neeley, representing the Sky Island Alliance, told the board her group is "vigorously opposing this project." …
The public can submit comments on Kinder Morgan's application online at ferc.gov in the eFile section or by mail to Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St. N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. All comments should refer to docket number CP13-73-000. (Read the full story here)
Upset about these pipeline plans? Write Kinder Morgan CEO Richard Kinder a letter at his home address and let him know what you think!
Remember what Ms. Manners would probably say (if we asked): just because someone is murdering the planet is no excuse for rudeness. Always be polite!

Roger defeated in five sets
Roger was defeated a thrilling final in Wimbledon today. He lost 7-6(7), 4-6, 6-7(4), 7-5, 4-6 against Novak Djokovic.
"You know going into a match with Novak, it's always going to be tough. It had everything for fans to like, the swing of momentum in the first set, him coming back in the second and third, all the back and forth in the fourth set and all the dramas in the fifth," Roger said.
It was an incredible match with plenty of dramatic moments and extended rallies. There was just one single service break in the first three sets, before a breathtaking phase started in the fourth. Roger fell behind 2-5 in the fourth and saved a match point at 3-5, to go on to force a fifth set. In the decider, play stayed intense and unfortunately it was Roger who dropped his serve at 4-5 to admit the defeat.
Just like this latest episode started by the two of you.
Please stop doing your hypocrisy. It's nasty and selfish.
For the enthusiastic Federer bloggers out there, try Fiona's blog at http://federerblog.tumblr.com.
I discovered her blog last summer and it is fantastic.
Love and support, L
An idol worshiper wrote: "Dear Roger, Here's some classic rock: "I Said Over and Over and Over Again, This Dance Is Gonna Be a Drag!" by the Dave Clark 5. Love and support you, L"
Now it has the delusion that its message for you was really for me!!!
It parrots same negative pattern over and over, every page, story, post, month and years! THE SAME PATTERN OVER & OVER! I have witnessed this happening to several rational fans on this website. Many rational fans have left.
Glad several people enjoyed the current events, relevant posts about the Chocolate Heaven articles, (not commercials), from around the world.
The Jungfraujoch challenge was even on the national news, as well as cable news including ESPN and tennis channel, too here in the USA. It IS a challenge just to keep up with everything Roger Federer does!!!
Love and support, L

City's so-called Graffiti Arts Project is looking to tag properties where street artists can make their mark legally
It's been close to two years since council member Delia Jasso tagged Oak Cliff attorney John Barr as the city's so-called graffiti czar, a title with which he was never very comfortable. Nevertheless it fit: For years Barr had his own army of paint-brushers — the so-called "bucket brigade" — charged with covering graffiti whenever and wherever it appeared along his stretch of North Oak Cliff. The city didn't much care for his tactics either, but as then-Mayor Tom Leppert said two years back, when Barr took the helm aided by Mark Cuban's $100,000 donation, graffiti in Dallas is "pervasive, it reflects very poorly on our city, and it makes it look more crime-ridden and run down than is the case."
But Barr's always had a soft spot for graffiti artists, as evidenced by his chat with London-based street artist Ben Eine. The video you see above will be screened for council next week, and in it Barr talks to Eine about putting his mark on Fort Worth Avenue and asks the artist how Dallas's outlaws can become "income producers." In short: Some will go for it; others just like breaking the law.
Upon his appointment, Barr spoke often of turning over slabs of concrete canvases to taggers in need of a place to express themselves. Because, look, the usual enforcement and abatement efforts don't seem to do much good; according to briefing docs prepared for Tuesday's meeting of the council's Public Safety Committee, the city deals with some 60 to 80 graffiti-related issues each week while while making about, oh, eight arrests every month. And while the city's trying to amp up its efforts, using geo-coded photos to track and apprehend some of the city's more prolific taggers, it's still an attack-the-block effort that can only erase so much.
Which brings us to the so-called "new approach" outlined in the doc below, a concept that will "harness the creative energy of some of the violators and show them a different path — one where they can express themselves legally [and] one where can maybe even make some money," sweet. It's the Graffiti Arts Project, which …
Seeks to provide graffiti artists an alternative to tagging and to redirect their creative energy in socially acceptable ways and earn public acceptance of their talent. Central to this project is creation of a series of public free walls and semi-permanent public art locations. In return the city gets pledges from all participants not to continue to tag elsewhere and, ideally, less illegal graffiti and to use their influence within their community to enhance the community's appearance.
City officials, including Jasso and Linda Koop and Mayor Mike Rawlings, more or less debuted the concept in May, during the Trinity Wind Festival, when they whipped out their spray cans and went to work on the columns beneath the Commerce Street bridge in the shadow of the county jail. Next stop, should council sign off on the proposal: a fall cash-money competition at Dallas Farmers Market, where eight pillars are set for a new paint job. After that the city will look for other open spaces in need of some brightening up; not, say, the entrances and exits to the Calatrava.Dallas Graffiti Arts Project

Neko : best friend of hotaro always dream of marrying him n has a playful personality her favorite is ball sweets. She wears a three paw gloves to hide her furry cat hands
story : when the world hasn't form the god created the jingen and ringen . these 2 clan keep fighting and devouring each other to determine which one will rule the world but there is a male jingen and female ringen fall in deep love as they sacrafice themselves for eternal peace among their species so they pray by offering their life , as the god was truly touch by them . the god punish all the jingenand ningen to dark night only the mortal or ningen which were the offspring and descendent of those lovers were allow to live in warm light and taste the earth resource . Til now everything were fine but soon the god find out the mortals are all getting more and more violent , greedy, and selfish . The god was dissappointed with how the mortals have became lately , then the god punish the mortals by lock down almost 90% psychic power in their brain . So as the mortal became weak and fragile the ringen take the chance began attack and enslave the mortal. then the mortal pledge the help from jingen by making a secret pact . as they unite and banish all the ringen away. mortals go back word as they affraid the jingen will do like ringen to them the same so mortals pray for gods for forgiveness by reducing their lifespan by half and give up all their psychic power to the god.

Disaster Relief Troops to Get Pay Hike — from $20 a Day
Members of Japan's Self-Defense Forces may be in line for a pay bump to reflect the extraordinary circumstances of the relief missions following the March 11 disasters.
The Defense Ministry is considering whether to increase the daily extra compensation allotted to SDF personnel to as much as 42,000 yen ($520) per day, according to local media reports. It would make it the highest pay doled out to SDF members to date, exceeding the 24,000 yen daily remuneration given to those who were dispatched to Iraq to assist with U.S.-led reconstruction efforts. Ministry officials declined to comment, saying the matter is still being deliberated.
The current amount for a search and rescue operation isn't exactly generous–about 1,620 yen per day (or just over $20)–and doesn't factor in some of the most crucial, dangerous and mentally exhausting tasks required in the March 11 aftermath. In special crisis situations, this amount can be raised to 3,240 yen.
With the new system, extra payments, in addition to members' salaries, are to be tacked on in proportion to the risk level of the job at hand. Those on the front lines of the nuclear crisis, such as the SDF members who sprayed water on the overheating reactors to help cool the radiation-leaking Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, would be eligible for the biggest uptick to 42,000 yen a day. Other members assigned to search and rescue teams within the 10 kilometer radius circling the plant, could be in for a daily pay jump to 21,000 yen and those who transported and made arrangements for bodies could receive 4,000 yen.
The revised system, if approved, underscores the hefty expense the unprecedented crises lobs onto the Japan's already strained fiscal situation. The defense ministry estimates that continuing relief operations for an additional two months through June will cost another 96.6 billion yen, according to a supplementary budget projection released on April 22. About 14.8 billion yen of this is geared towards compensation payments.
At its peak, the defense ministry mobilized over 100,000 SDF members in the wake of the disasters, with more than 400 personnel dedicated to combat efforts at the troubled nuclear plant. The ministry has scaled back efforts a little, now drawing on about 96,600 personnel, 300 of whom are part of the nuclear disaster unit, as of Monday.

Re: Masters of Podiatry - advice please?
I think it is fantastic that the next generation of Podiatrists will have the opportunity to become Doctors of Podiatry and Masters in our profession.
I am afraid that I will not progress beyond what I have, I will still attend the National and State confrence if they have something new to offer and not bore me with stats that go nowhere to help me treat my patients. I require an income like all of us to survive and I cannot employ anyone to take over my practice so I can get another certificate to put up on my wall.
In the last 2 years I worked for 2 other Podiatists, it meant that they could concentrate on studies and attain higher qualifications. They are both doing well.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The German province of Westphalia nestled between the Rhine and Wesser rivers, is the birthplace of the distinguished name Spiegel. In the German provinces, after the 12th century, hereditary surnames that were derived from occupations became increasingly widespread. Spiegel is an occupational name for a person who made or sold mirrors. This distinguished name was originally derived both from the German word "spiegel," which means "mirror" and from the Yiddish word "shpigl," which mean "to look" or "to see." The German word "spiegel" is itself derived from the Old German word "spiagal," from the Latin word "specullum."
The surname Spiegel was first found in Westphalia, where this noble family name, traced as early as 1100, became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Always prominent in social affairs, the name became an integral part of that turbulent region as it emerged to form alliances with other families within the feudal system.
One can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames: in early times, spelling in general, and thus the spelling of names was not yet standardized; and later, spellings would change with branching and movement of families. Variations of the name Spiegel include Spiegel, Spiegl, Spiegle, Spiegele, Spiegeler, Spiegler, Spiegelmann, Spiegelman, Spiegil, Spiegell, Spiegill, Spegel (northern Germany), Spigeler and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Spiegel research. Another 294 words (21 lines of text) covering the years 1250, 1252, 1257, 1396, 1558, 1764, 1776, 1787, 1805, 1835, and 1837 are included under the topic Early Spiegel History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Notables of the period with the name Spiegel were Count Ferdinand August von Spiegel (1764-1835), of the House of Diesenberg-Hanxleden, who was the Archbishop of Cologne...

Many Germans emigrated across the Atlantic to seek better lives in North Ameri ca. This great migration began in the middle of the 17th century and continued into the 20th century. Resettlement was particularly attractive to those from Westphalia as a means of escape from poverty and religious persecution. For many Westphalian farmers, the chance to own one's own land was also a major incentive. The process of the widespread colonization of the United States began in 1650, when many immigrants from Germany settled in pockets in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. In Canada, German settlements centered around Ontario and the Prairie provinces. Among them were:
Spiegel Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Spiegel Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Spiegel Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century

EconEdLink Review Board Members
Joy Joyce brings to EconEdLink her experience from a long career in education including over 30 years in the social studies department at Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, Illinois. While at Willowbrook she taught high school or Advanced Placement economics and infused economic concepts and thinking into other related courses such as world history and geography. Her other experiences include teaching undergraduate principles of economics, being a College Board consultant and reader for the AP Economics exam, serving on the NAEP 2006 Economics assessment planning committee, delivering programs for students and teachers as a teacher consultant with Econ Illinois and with UIC's Center for Economic Education as a visiting lecturer. Joy?s background in economics stems from her undergraduate education at the University of Illinois and graduate degree from Northwestern University, in addition to what she learned in the field, at conferences, from colleagues, and from the resources of the Council for Economic Education, but most of all she is driven by her passion for teaching economics and financial literacy.
Joy says, ?Recently, as an instructor with Chicago's After School Matters program on financial fitness, I had my students use a credit card lesson from EconEdLink. They loved the lesson using its repayment calculator, legislation update, and quiz at the end. Their comment was, ?we need more lessons like this.?"

Molycorp and its world class separations and processing capabilities derive significant value from long-standing customer relationships and experience built over many years. Typically, some of the key ways this is manifested is in collaborative product development and "market pull" R&D programs and preferred supplier status on competitive new business and contract renewals.
Research and development represents an important part of Molycorp's client acquisition and retention strategy and plans to continue to invest in the following areas:
- New product development — development of new products in collaboration with customers capitalizing on Molycorp's technical and production capabilities;
- Existing product optimization and improvement — refinements to existing products, driven by customer requirements and feedback; and
- Process development — aimed at reducing production costs, increasing efficiency and optimizing Molycorp's overall operations.
Product Development
Molycorp conducts its R&D internally at research centers located at its flagship facility at Mountain Pass, California; Tolleson, Arizona; Abingdon, UK; Singapore and at the JAMR and ZAMR production facilities. Customer collaborative research is a main vehicle used to achieve customer product requirements in an efficient, timely and cost effective manner. The division also collaborates with selected research and educational institutions in basic R&D.
A number of products currently exist in various stages of development in the Molycorp R&D pipeline. New products are introduced to the market on a continuous basis. The company's internal target is to derive at least one quarter of its separations and processing revenues from products that either did not exist or Molycorp did not produce three years prior. It is typically these products that contribute the highest margins.
Molycorp considers nanotechnology a key "enabling technology" for the manufacture of rare earths and zirconium products with significantly advanced performance characteristics. The division's Singapore nanotechnology centre works closely with customers and collaborates with research institutions (such as Nanyang Technological University in Singapore) on applied research and product development.
At its research centre in Abingdon, UK, Molycorp is developing products mainly for use in the automotive catalyst industry. Once development products reach commercialization, production technology is then transferred to Molycorp's separations and processing facilities. Examples of the division's nanotechnology derived commercial products include a number of advanced multi-component oxides that exhibit superior high temperature stability and catalytic activity in catalytic converters. Nanotechnology products under development include a high purity nano-zirconium oxide developed for a Japanese consumer for electronic ceramic formulations.
Several products are designed with client directed specifications in mind. Once new products are produced, commercialization timing cycles vary by product, product line and target market based on the client's qualification process. Evaluation and qualification periods are typically between nine and 24 months, although these cycles can be shortened or lengthened depending on the degree of change and the applications involved.
Molycorp's established relationships and qualifications position it among the technological leaders in the rare earth sector. These relationships act as a barrier to entry for new competitors who must build relationships and go through extensive qualification periods just to be in a position to compete.

After an undefeated season, many Wichita State fans think the Shockers could go all the way. Some are so sure they would bet thousands on it. "When there's a winning team, people get excited," said gambling addiction counselor Stephenie Roberts.
With Wichita State doing so well, she says there could be some first time betters in the state. Roberts says a personal financial crisis can start with something as small as filling out a bracket.
At last check, the odds of Wichita State winning the National Championship are six to one. Before the season started, the odds were 75 to one. With a $100 bet, those odds would pay out $7,500.
"It's important to realize it's not how much you want to win but how much you can afford to lose that should determine whether or not you're betting," said Roberts.
Roberts says many gamblers focus on the winnings and get into trouble when they lose. She says sometimes they even bet again, hoping to pay off the original debt. "People develop a very deep denial system surrounding their betting."
Roberts says gambling effects the brain in the same way alcohol and drugs do. She says that is why some end up addicted and delusional. "Especially with sports betting, they may think if they wear a certain shirt that their team is going to win," said Roberts. "There are just all kinds of rituals that go with it, which is part of the fantasy."
She says events like the NCAA tournament can be a gateway to gambling addiction. "More of the general public probably does participate in that because of office pools and things like that that are common in the area," said Roberts.
She says although filling out a bracket may seem innocent, sports gambling is illegal unless you are betting through Las Vegas. "Make sure that you decide how much you can afford to lose because the chances of winning are very, very slim."
Roberts say sports betting attracts a lot of teens. She says there have already been several cases of high school students in the area who were busted for having betting pools at school.
Roberts says anyone who thinks they know someone dealing with a problem should watch for frequent withdrawals from the bank, lies about how much they won, or missing work to make a bet.
People struggling with gambling addiction can get a free assessment through the State of Kansas with no out of pocket cost for treatment after that.
