An often small and rather persistent (read: annoying) wasp that flourishes in the summer months and is easily recognized by the yellow portion around its midsection (the "jacket").
Yellowjackets buzzed around the table and ruined the barbecue.

the wasps that fly around garbage, follow you around and buzz in your face for at least 5 minutes, fly into your car window and make you almost shit yorself, and sting you just for fun because theyre assholes. these fuckers are nasty, and look orange at a distance and hover in circles around wherever they are, and if you get near them, they will fuck with you until you can wave them off without getting stung. they also like flying into peoples houses. fortunately, they are easier to kill than flies, but are still annoying as hell, and can even be scary, especially when youre driving a car, and they fly into your window and start flying around in front of your face or land on your junk, recipies for disaster.
there was a giant wreck tying up traffic on the highway. some dude had his window open. a yellow jacket flew in, and stung the guy in the face, then he slammed into another car, and ther traffic behind them piled up and nailed them.

A Swedish Medical Center physician is breaking new ground in the area of cochlear implants with his recent surgery on a 9-year-old girl who received the medical implant for single-sided deafness.
Daniel Zeitler, M.D., a neurotologist and skull-based surgeon is one of only a few medical professionals in the United States to perform the procedure for this population
and diagnosis. According to Zeitler, the young patient's deafness was beginning to take its toll on her both academically and socially. "Although Claire is an excellent student, she had to sit strategically in the classroom to be able to hear. She was having a hard time enjoying music, couldn't enjoy birthday parties, and often felt socially isolated during basketball practice and games or active family outings such as bicycle rides. Basically, all the things that a 9-year-old girl likes to do were slowly taken away from her because of her deafness," Zeitler says.
Young Claire received the cochlear implant on November 26. The MED-EL device will be activated on Dec. 18, however Zeitler says early testing during surgery indicated it was working properly. The use of cochlear implants for single-sided deafness, and for patients as young as Claire, is an emerging practice in Europe, but is extremely rare in the U.S. In fact, the FDA has not yet approved the device for single-sided deafness, says Zeitler.
So why did Dr. Zeitler agree to this rare procedure? Because he feels Claire can benefit greatly from this technology, and rather than wait for other options to emerge or trials to be conducted, he is confident the cochlear implant will dramatically improve the quality of life for this youngster sooner rather than later. "There's a huge push to initiate clinical trials for its use in these circumstances in the U.S., but only a few anecdotal reports and small objective studies currently exist. Unfortunately, there is no good data or large-scale subjective experiences to make it the norm yet," Zeitler says.
Claire began losing hearing progressively in her right ear at the age of 5 and tried a number of alternative hearing devices, including a traditional hearing aid. However, when her hearing loss became profound, she could no longer obtain any useful benefit from its use. Additionally, she attempted to use an FDA-approved bone-anchored hearing device, but was denied by her insurance. Her insurance is, however, paying for the cochlear implant. Zeitler is skilled in pediatric cochlear implantation, but his clinical interests also include bone-anchored hearing aids (Baha), benign and malignant tumors of the ear and skull base, facial nerve disorders, cholesteatoma and chronic ear disease, ear infections and hearing loss. Zeitler also frequently collaborates with neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists in the treatment of a variety of ear diseases and is an active member of the Colorado Neurological Institute.
MED-EL's MAESTRO™ Cochlear Implant System has proven to be an effective solution for individuals with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. According to Zeitler, the device is expected to last a lifetime. Zeitler and his team of medical professionals at Denver Ear Associates will evaluate the quality of sound Claire experiences once the device is turned on December 18th. "Before surgery, Claire was excited and apprehensive, but she was ready," Zeitler says. "My hope is that Claire's story can be shared with other children and adults suffering the same disability, and Claire can be a champion of cochlear implantation for these patients in the future."

The Israeli Association of Myeloma Patients, also known as AMEN, was founded to benefit the welfare of myeloma patients in Israel. AMEN's mission is to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients by being a centralized source of information about the disease, treatment options, and ongoing scientific research, as well as offering support in dealing with Bituah Leumi (Israeli Social Security), health insurance companies, and patients' rights. AMEN is dedicated to helping myeloma patients and family members cope with the impact of diagnosis and the ensuing issues. AMEN's Hebrew language website will offer educational content, including translations of IMF materials and publications.
On July 29, 2005, AMEN held the first meeting of the Israeli Myeloma Working Group, which was sponsored by Roche Pharmaceuticals. AMEN initiated the creation of the working group as a joint venture with the Israeli Society of Hematologists. Chairing the meeting were AMEN's Medical Advisor, Professor Aaron Polliack, and the head of the Israeli Society of Hematologists and Blood Bank, Professor Gil Lugassy. Invitations were sent to all the medical institutions in Israel that treat myeloma patients.
The Israeli medical community responded favorably -- 29 representatives from the most important medical and research centers attended the meeting. Never before has there been a forum of this size addressing the issue of myeloma in Israel! Without a doubt, this can be seen as a breakthrough in the history of myeloma in Israel.
At the meeting, the participants addressed the following four topics: 1. Establishment of a registry 2. Establishment of a computerized database accessible by all medical institutions 3. Basic research 4. Clinical research
The registry and database topics were presented by Dr. Marilius (Zamenhoff Clinic) and Mr. Edelist (AMEN). The clinical study program was presented by Dr. Hardan (Tel Hashomer). The research program was presented by Dr. Cohen (Meir Center), Mrs. Neuman (Univeristy of Tel-Aviv), Dr. Gesundheit (Hadassah en Karem), Dr. Bullvick (Laniado Hospital), and Prof. Berrebi (Kaplan Medical Center).
Prof. Ben-Yehuda (Hadassa en Karem) was elected chairman of the Israeli Myeloma Study Group, Dr. Hardan was elected secretary of the group, and Dr. Marilius has been named its clinical research coordinator. The research group will be headed by Mr. Zion Katz (Ichilov Medical Center) who will organize scientists from the Weizman Institute, local universities, and medical research centers dealing with myeloma. Many other physicians registered to take part in the group's activities.
This forum has the power to create a new and better future for the myeloma community in Israel, and AMEN has made it a priority to raise the necessary funds to support the group as part of its mission to find a cure for myeloma.
EDITOR'S NOTE: AMEN was founded by Paula Azulai, a myeloma patient, who is now the chairperson of the organization. For more information, please contact Paula at firstname.lastname@example.com or 0544-906635.

4 Things Movies Always Get Wrong About Computer Hackers
#2. Sometimes There's a Lot of Sitting and Waiting
When most people think of hacking, they probably picture someone sitting in a dark room frantically typing, every keystroke chipping away at the firewall, just steps ahead of the authorities and their sinister plot to give out C's in English.
"Eat me, Ms. Watson! Symbolism is BULLSHIT! WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!?"
The details may vary, but they'll certainly picture something tense and fast-paced, where every second counts. At no point during this hack do they imagine the hacker wandering off somewhere for several months.
Viruses, Trojan horses, and worms are a group of semi-related programs that, once created, spread around completely on their own, which can take a lot of time, but allows them to damage or compromise a lot of computers. This is how some of the most impressive hacks of all time have been pulled off. Like the Stuxnet worm which knocked out Iran's nuclear fuel enrichment capabilities. Or the Trojan horse which blew up a natural gas pipeline in Siberia.
So not only does this type of hacking involve making the virus, with all the tedious weeks of programming, and math, and probably -- no shit -- whiteboards and meetings, that goes into that. Once that's done come the months and months of waiting. It's about as exciting as planting a tree, except with the fun possibility that the FBI will come kick in your door when the tree ... hatches?
It's hatches, right? Hackers don't go outside very often.
#1. The Most Effective Hack of All
The biggest security hole every piece of software or hardware has to try to deal with can be summed up thusly: Humans are stupid. (In case you need confirmation of this, Cracked has written approximately 8 billion words on this topic.) And it's this stupidity that hackers take advantage of for the simplest and most effective hacks of all.
First, there's all the problems with our passwords -- the central element of so many of our security systems. Our terrible, shitty, easy-to-guess passwords.
"What do you mean derp28 is only Fair strength!? Ok, then how's derp29? WHAT!?"
But maybe you're smarter than that. Maybe you picked derp30. Well, there's also the professional stupidity to worry about, like the idiots you've given your passwords to for safekeeping.
When you sign up on a social networking site, you're not conducting an in-depth interview with their head of network security are you? No, you're there to stalk ex-lovers. So you're maybe not paying much attention to whether that site has any clue of how to store passwords securely, which it may not -- as 6.5 million LinkedIn users found out earlier this year when their passwords were spooged out all over the Internet.
And then there are the companies that will just give your passwords to anyone who asks nicely. Using techniques that fall under "social engineering" -- a fancy name for "taking advantage of people who answer phones for a living" -- hackers will trick customer support departments into giving out personal information. Here's an example of some dude getting his whole life destroyed because a hacker called Apple and Amazon and asked them nicely first.
"Mr. Jenkins, why do you sound like three giggling teenagers? You have Fart-Mouth Syndrome? I'm so sorry! Yes, I'll reset your password right now. I'm sorry again."
This is one of the oldest types of hacking, and because humans aren't going to get much smarter, and are unlikely to start paying people who answer phones any better, it's likely to remain amongst the most effective and widely used hacking techniques. And that's the lamest truth of all about hacking: The most effective hack of all time is exactly as exciting as making a fucking prank phone call.

The new year got off to a grim start on Interstate 526 as two people lost their lives in back-to-back traffic accidents on an eight-mile stretch from North Charleston to West Ashley.
The state is taking a $1 million look at the section of the interstate — Rivers Avenue to U.S. Highway 17 — to see what improvements could be made.
"Safety is a major component of this study," said Dipak Patel, technical applications director for the Department of Transportation.
The DOT has posted on its website some of the data collected for the I-526 "corridor analysis," such as traffic volume and flow, accidents and fatalities. From 2009 to 2011, more than 1,000 wrecks happened on the interstate from the Rivers Avenue interchange to West Ashley, including seven deaths.
"The traffic is awful," said April Bigelow of North Charleston, a hair salon manager. "We have grown to the point where I think we definitely need to widen I-526."
Stantec Inc., a transportation consultant, will make recommendations on how to improve I-526 traffic and safety when the 18-month study wraps up in the spring.
"They've looked at a whole gamut of solutions," Patel said.
More mass transit, designated lanes for carpools and a toll for solo drivers are among the ideas analyzed.
"We have to look at the bad boy, widening. Basically what you end up with is a buffet of solutions," he said.
The study also looks at improvements to the juncture of I-526 and Interstate 26. Where the two interstates meet, I-26 carries upwards of 135,000 vehicles daily and I-526 more than 80,000 vehicles.
"That, to me, is a dangerous spot. That's where I had my first accident," said trucker Lamar Brown of Charleston.
The four-lane highway is expected to play an increasingly vital role for commuters, shipping and aviation. Charleston International Airport, which is served by I-526, plans to add six new gates and double passengers in 20 years. Port of Charleston expansion includes a new North Charleston terminal, which, at build-out, will boost shipping capacity by 50 percent.
Now, though, I-526 and I-26 appear stretched to the limit. At afternoon rush hour on Wednesday, a digital sign on I-26 westbound advised motorists stuck in bumper-to-bumper congestion that it could take up to 20 minutes to drive two miles to I-526.
Mike Brown of Summerville said I-526 congestion from West Ashley to Rivers Avenue reflects a lack of planning.
"You would think something else could be done about it. I don't think we really dealt with it. We didn't do a very good job on expectations of growth," he said.
When morning and afternoon rush hour clears, the issue becomes lead-footed drivers on I-526. Last week, traffic enforcement officers from Charleston, North Charleston and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office wrote more than 200 tickets, mostly for speeding. A motorcyclist was clocked at 139 mph.
The combination of speed, congestion and inattentive or impaired driving can lead to deadly results. On Jan. 28, an 18-wheeler on I-526 plowed into eastbound traffic stalled at Rivers Avenue because of an oil spill two miles down the road, killing Lauren Elyse Baccari, 27, a medical student due to graduate in the spring. Police charged the truck driver with reckless homicide.
On Jan. 27, a Hanahan woman was jailed on a felony count of driving under the influence involving death in a crash that killed 35-year-old Serjei Cahuantzi, a bartender at Joe Pasta who had plans to start his own business. The accident happened on I-526 eastbound at Dorchester Road.
DOT said on its website that the primary purposes of the I-526 Corridor Analysis Project are to gather "baseline" information about the interstate and develop ideas for reducing traffic and meeting tomorrow's needs. Near-term low-cost strategies and more costly fixes for the future will be identified.
As part of the study, meetings were held to gather public input on ways to lessen I-526 congestion, such as through mass transit and rail transportation.
Currently, there is no construction funding for any transportation improvements on the I-526 corridor. One purpose of the study is to identify potential project costs for budgeting.
Reach Prentiss Findlay at 937-5711.
Authorities said one person died in a car that was crushed between a tractor-trailer rig (right), and a landscaping van (left) on Jan. 28 on eastbound Interstate 526 at Rivers Avenue in North Charleston. Six vehicles were involved.×
"If police could ride in the truck with us — the things they would see," Lamar Brown said about his work driving an 18-wheeler.×

A car crashed into a pole overnight, knocking out power to hundreds of homes in Orange County.
The crash happened along Clarcona-Ocoee Road at Powers Drive.
Officials said the driver of a 1992 Lexus 300 lost control and struck a Ford F-250 driven by 53-year-old Carl Grant. No one was injured.
The Lexus then struck the utility pole and rolled over.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the driver of the Lexus fled the area.
Initially, more than 2,000 homes were without power because of the crash. Crews were able to quickly restore power to most of them, but more than 200 remained without power for hours.
All power was restored by 7 a.m.
Officials said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending.

HTC One vs Sony Xperia Z
The noise-canceling microphones on the handsets separate your voice from the background noise successfully, yet the setup the HTC One mics have manages to relay clearer and more recognizable voices to the other end.
The phones have sealed batteries with almost equal capacity – 2300 mAh for the One vs 2330 mAh for the Xperia Z – but HTC doesn't give official talk times for the One. Sony, however, claims 5.5 hours of video playback for the Xperia Z, which is a tad below the average endurance, whereas 3rd party tests peg the HTC One at about eight hours, yet overall both phones should last you through the day with moderate to heavy usage, and day and a half to two days if you are gentle on the screen time.
Battery life
All in all, it shouldn't be a tough pick between the HTC One or the Xperia Z for you. Sony's flagship might look a bit rough around the edges, compared to the sleek aluminum One, but there's a perfectly good reason for that – its waterproof chassis will be a godsend for many a careless or outdoorsy owner, and it is easier to hold and operate with one hand with the rubberized sides.
If you are the type that babies their handset, though, the HTC One will offer a better screen, faster processor, stellar audio experience, IR blaster and superior video capture, on top of what the Xperia Z delivers. Both handsets cost around the same, and are likely to keep value in a similar manner, so it mostly depends on whether you need the elements-proofing of the Z, or the extra features of the One.

Ul see for urself what a horrible screen it is as compared
To the htc one..the only thing goin for xperia z(as sony ppl say) is d bravia engine2 :
Which reduces noise when watching videos or photos..
In any case practically when u use the phones in ur hand overall..the screen of d htc one is far far better than d xperia z

Currently own a one x, and I don't see a reason to take another HTC phone as my second phone,
don't get me wrong, I love HTC, especially that killing diamonds cut makes me mouth watering, not to mention that boomsound, and I use friendstream 24/7 and I wish I can use blinkfeed 24/7 as well...
unfortunately, holding second HTC phone makes me looks like a sheeple :(
I will get Xperia z this October and I swear I will get it :)

You don't understand, sheeple us not you define yourself but the people who define you...
some people love Apple product and keep collecting it every year, it's just a matter of preference too... But still I define them sheeple :)
honestly, they are multibillion company, we don't owe their loyalty, utilise the beauty of choice, this is android anyway :)
69. TerryCrowley (Posts: 194; Member since: 31 Jul 2011)
You're dumb. People call them sheep because of WHY they buy Apple products. Sheep are the people who buy Apple products not for their specs or software or anything that the device actually has to offer over the competition but simply because it's made by Apple.
71. wendygarett (unregistered)
Wow, I bring HTC one x and HTC one on the table and say, look I have two phones...
and compare to I bring HTC one x and Sony Xperia z on the table...
Which one is more sheeple? Again my emphasis, I don't owe any company loyalty, once I bought Xperia z, my third phone won't be a Sony....
73. TerryCrowley (Posts: 194; Member since: 31 Jul 2011)
Neither are for sheeps. Sheeps buy products not by their specs or software offerings but simply because of it's brand or status as a fashion symbol/trend. Hence why people call Apple fanboys sheep. Just because you buy three consecutive Samsung devices in a row doesn't mean you're a sheep. It depends WHY you bought that. If you used actual logic and reasoning or blind following, like SHEEP. If a device is clearly better in terms of hardware and software then it wouldn't make you a sheep to buy it over it's competition, regardless if you bought it's predecessor. Maybe the language barrier is why you're so dumb. What language do you need me to speak for you to understand?

Sony Failed again..!!!!!!!!!!!
13. istitch (Posts: 181; Member since: 19 Mar 2013)
screen wise, htc one is better
processor wise, who would actually notice the difference?
and speaker quality, sony sacrifices that for water/dust resistance
16. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
well, Sony sacrificed so many important things
21. TechFreak (Posts: 15; Member since: 22 Mar 2013)
Processor wise you can undestand the difference in gaming for sure and it makes the device more future proof..Plus since these devices cost about the same why buy Xperia Z?
64. SleepingOz (unregistered)
"processor wise, who would actually notice the difference?"
That's what people used to say about quadcores cpu.
Believe me, you will! Games load faster, better graphical performances, no/less drop in framerate when running games like Dead Trigger, Real Racing, Shadowgun..

I think Xperia Z has the slight edge, but don't get me wrong, both are much better than the Galaxy S4.

Where do you see the slight edge?
62. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
-Beauty Design
-Water Proof
-Better camera (My personal taste)
-Nice call quality (Based on my tests)
-Great software support

-Design is subjective
-pretty much
-this is weird, the water resistance feature does affect the call quality, so either you haven't used a htc one, or just trolling
-no comment

"Pixel density isn't everything
The Xperia Z is more attractive with its screen turned off rather than on"
"More pixels than sense
This is not the cameraphone you're looking for"
"Just because you call it HDR video doesn't mean it is HDR video"
"Fighting a soft war
Sony's sullying one of its most beloved brands with the atrocity that is PlayStation Mobile"
"However, the screen is by no means perfect. First of all its viewing angles aren't really great. They are a step forward compared to the Xperia T, but a very minor one. In that area Sony still has a lot of work before it catches up with the competition.
More disturbingly, the display has rather poor contrast for a flagship unit and not really inspiring colors. As testified by the measurements in our dedicated test it comes nowhere near the standard of its main competitors and it even fared worse than its predecessor."
"The results are pretty good overall, although we wouldn't say it has a significant advantage over the best 8MP shooters from last year."
"What came as a disappointment for us is the fact that even though the Xperia Z is able to capture still shots while recording video, it only produces images with 1 megapixel of resolution. That's less than half the resolution of the individual frames in the video itself and not really good for much. Given that last year's flagships could capture full res stills during video recording, what the Xperia Z offers is inexcusably poor."
"Enabling HDR doesn't do as big a difference as we hoped it will, but it still adds some detail in the highlight areas, which can make the difference between a usable and a poor video on some occassions."
"The Sony Xperia Z enters the arena of our video quality comparisons. The 1080p video recording of the smartphone isn't quite the best we have seen, but it fares pretty well. It easily matched the Optimus G and the Galaxy S III."
"Sony is calling its new, thinner display the OptiContrast panel, but its performance doesn't offer the same viewing angles, or outdoor performance, of HTC's Super LCD 3 screen. In fact, turn the screen away from straight-on viewing, and you'll see a grayish discoloring that starts to obscure what's going on -- especially under bright light."
"The Xperia Z arrives just behind the latest Android iteration. It's still Android Jelly Bean, but it's version 4.1.2. Admittedly, the additions since then are relatively minor, but Sony has the unfortunate knack for launching its best phones without the very brightest software."
"When launching the camera app from a freshly booted device, it took a mind-numbing three seconds on average"
Uh no, I wouldn't call this a slight edge.. =3
Also I'd like to know how are those better than the GSIV, putting aside aesthetic which is subjective anyway.

He is not researching, he is doing a sad fanboy troll quest looking for all the possible negatives lines about the Z. Anyone can do that fror any phone, the fact that he expend so many time doing that for the Z just show something, he is a hater fanboy, the worse kind.

Professional medical associations (PMAs) play an essential role in defining and advancing health care standards. Their conferences, continuing medical education courses, practice guidelines, definitions of ethical norms, and public advocacy positions carry great weight with physicians and the public. Because many PMAs receive extensive funding from pharmaceutical and device companies, it is crucial that their guidelines manage both real and perceived conflict of interests. Any threat to the integrity of PMAs must be thoroughly and effectively resolved. Current PMA policies, however, are not uniform and often lack stringency. To address this situation, the authors first identified and analyzed conflicts of interest that may affect the activities, leadership, and members of PMAs. The authors then went on to formulate guidelines, both short-term and long-term, to prevent the appearance or reality of undue industry influence. The recommendations are rigorous and would require many PMAs to transform their mode of operation and perhaps, to forgo valuable activities. To maintain integrity, sacrifice may be required. Nevertheless, these changes are in the best interest of the PMAs, the profession, their members, and the larger society.

The Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC), a joint program of Loyola Law School and the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, was founded in 1997 and provides information and education on all types of cancer-related legal issues for persons with cancer, their family and friends, caregivers and others impacted by the disease. The CLRC's founders recognized that, while there was medical and psycho-social support for people with cancer, there was no place for them to go with questions about employment, insurance, government benefits, estate planning issues and other legal issues that needed to be addressed.
The CLRC has assisted more than 17,000 people since its inception. Many callers are helped through the CLRC's telephone assistance line, staffed primarily by Loyola Law School students under the supervision of CLRC's legal staff. Additionally, the CLRC conducts 70-80 workshops annually in the cancer community, including cancer support groups, in service training for health care professionals, conferences, health fairs and other activities in the cancer community. The CLRC also has a volunteer panel of attorneys and other professionals who provide more in-depth counsel when needed. The CLRC is primarily California based. However, a significant percentage of its calls come from outside of California, with the CLRC finding local resources for these callers. The CLRC's services are free.
While the CLRC receives calls in many areas, the following will be a brief overview of the employment laws affecting persons with cancer.
The Americans with Disabilities Act
In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a wide-ranging law, prohibiting discrimination in all areas of the employment process. It was designed to level the playing field in the employment arena – so that people would not be denied jobs, or the benefits of jobs, simply because they had disabilities.
The ADA applies to private employers with 15 or more employees. It also applies to employment agencies, labor organizations, and local and state governments. The ADA provides protection to a "qualified individual with a disability." An individual must be both disabled and qualified.
An individual with a disability under the ADA is an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The major life activity can be, among other things, caring for oneself, walking, talking, seeing, breathing, or working. A person may also have a disability if she has a record of an impairment or is regarded as having an impairment. The impairment that substantially impacts a major life function must be severe, not temporary, and must produce a permanent or long-term impact.
In determining whether an impairment is substantially limiting, the impairment must be looked at in its corrected, or mitigated, state. Therefore, one must look at the employee's present condition, including whether the employee has already had surgery and where the employee is in his/her treatment program. One must look at the medications that may control the person's impairment, and also look at the side effects of the treatment, including the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
If the person's cancer is completely or substantially controlled through surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, the person may not have a qualifying disability under the ADA because they cannot show a substantial impact on a major life function. However, the person may be protected under one of the other two prongs of the ADA; namely, that they have a history of an impairment or are treated as having an impairment.
To be entitled to protection, the employee must also be a "qualified individual." This means the employee must be able to perform the essential functions of the job with or without a reasonable accommodation. Some examples of reasonable accommodations include a flexible schedule, reassignment to a vacant position, a light duty position, or possibly an extended period of leave time. Each situation is intended to be assessed on an individualized basis, including whether the reasonable accommodation would be an undue hardship for the employer.
The ADA does not specifically provide a list of reasonable accommodations – it is meant to be a dialogue between the employee and employer and based upon the specific type of job and company involved. Additionally, accommodations are only required for the known disabilities of the individual – the employer must first be aware that an employee is seeking a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. It is also generally up to the individual needing the accommodation to make suggestions to the employer about the type of reasonable accommodations the employee is requesting.
The ADA can also provide protection for a person looking for a new job. If a prospective employee is applying for a new job, she does not need to disclose her medical condition unless she needs a reasonable accommodation for the application or interview process. An applicant need not reveal her disability when she applies even if she believes she will need an accommodation on the job. If the person has a visible impairment, the prospective employer can ask the potential employee how they would perform the job function, and ask them to demonstrate.
If a person receives a conditional job offer based upon undergoing a medical examination, such an examination must be required of all employees in the same job category. The offer cannot be rescinded unless the medical examination indicates that the person cannot perform the essential functions of the job with or without a reasonable accommodation or that the person would pose a direct threat to himself or others. Finally, any requests for reasonable accommodations under the ADA are to be kept confidential. They should be kept in a separate, locked file that is kept separate and apart from a person's personnel file.
What Other Laws May Apply in the Workplace?
There are other laws that may provide protections to employees in the workplace. The ADA can work hand in hand with another law, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA provides for a person to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid medical leave to care for a seriously ill spouse, parent, or child. It also allows for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the serious medical condition of the employee. Although unpaid, this is job-protected leave, which means the employee returns to the same or an equivalent position. This law also requires the employer to keep an employee's benefits intact.
The FMLA applies to employers with 50 or more employees. Covered employees must have been employed at least a year and have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours in that year. Sometimes, a person will need more than the 12 weeks of unpaid leave provided by the FMLA. In that case, a person may be able to take an extended period of leave time as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA after exhausting the 12 weeks of FMLA leave. Additionally, there may be state laws that provide protections equal to or greater than the ADA or FMLA.

NAMI Launches Veterans Resource Center on Mental Health; Online
November 6, 2007
Arlington, VA—The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has established an online Veterans Resource Center www.nami.org/veterans to help support active duty military personnel, veterans and their families facing serious mental illnesses such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and schizophrenia.
"We are a nation at war," said NAMI executive director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "The war includes mental illness. Many veterans who return from active duty face a second war at home, confronting profound mental health problems. Their families also are affected."
The Center's resources include a growing compilation of fact sheets, self-help information, online discussion groups, research and policy updates, and links to government agencies and other private organizations. NAMI has made the Center a priority to meet a growing need.
"The human toll of any war is felt for years to come," Fitzpatrick said. "NAMI hopes to expand the Center's resources over time and provide whatever support we can through our other programs."
The Center's resources are organized into 12 on-line categories:

Three Buffalo residents who were tracked by police through a global positioning system attached to stolen bank money have admitted to robbing a Bank of America branch in Cheektowaga.
The three pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery for the June 8 gunpoint bank robbery, during which about a dozen customers and employees were ordered to lie on the floor.
Pleading guilty were Antoinette Freeman, 24, of Wyoming Street; Porche Allen, 22, of Mendola Avenue; and Darian Allen, 20, also of Mendola, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
They all face a maximum prison sentence of up to 15 years when sentenced by Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case on Jan. 3.
Cheektowaga police used the satellite navigation system to follow the money. The police found the money and arrested the three 20 minutes after the robbery in the Allens' apartment on Mendola on the East Side, the District Attorney's Office said.
Cheektowaga police have said the three came into the bank on Dick Road near George Urban Boulevard with guns drawn and forced employees and customers to the floor. One of them jumped the counter and grabbed an undisclosed amount of money before they all fled.

A charitable remainder annuity trust is a gift arrangement whereby you transfer cash or other property to a trust, you retain a fixed DOLLAR income from the trust for life or a period of years, and pass the remaining value of the trust to charity at the end of the trust term.
How does it work?
With the assistance of your attorney, you create an irrevocable trust agreement into which you place cash or other assets. You set the terms of the trust - the length of the trust, the percentage payout from the trust, the trustee, the income beneficiary and the charitable remainder beneficiary. These terms become irrevocable upon execution of the trust agreement.
For example, Fred Mills, a retired Millsaps alumnus, decides to transfer $100,000 worth of stock to a charitable remainder annuity trust and chooses to receive $8,000 per year (an 8% payout) from the trust for the rest of his life. After his death, the remaining trust assets are to be used to fund scholarships at Millsaps.
What are the benefits?
Who manages the trust?
A Trustee must be named to manage the trust assets. This might be a trust company, a financial advisor, trusted individual, or in some cases - you can serve as trustee of your charitable trust. The trustee must ensure that annual tax reporting is completed as well as handle the investment of the trust assets. Millsaps College does not serve as trustee of charitable trusts.

Hedgesville finalizes comprehensive plan
January 16, 2013
HEDGESVILLE — Planning the course of a town of more than 300 people is not a process that can be rushed....
Can anyone tell me where the town limits begin and end? There is no line of demarcation noticeable to me. Hedgesville has been surrounded by development and will soon be consumed. The traffic that traverses the town is incredible. It should have been bypassed long ago to protect its heritage and integrity as a small town. I wish them the best.

Hedgesville is a wonderful little town where I grew up and visit often,what disturbs me is the lack of zoning laws to protect properties and all the homes that have deteriorated to falling down statis in the area.These need to be torn down. north Mountain is a good example of the properties there setting empty and falling down.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Despite a bumpy beginning, things played out as excepted Sunday for the Penn State women's basketball team.
Maggie Lucas scored 24 points to lead five players in double figures and the No. 6 Lady Lions rebounded from an early deficit with a 22-1 run to spark a 101-44 rout of Fairleigh Dickinson at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Ariel Edwards had 18 points off the bench, and Dara Taylor added 15 points and five assists for Penn State (6-1), which rebounded from its first loss of the season Wednesday at Miami (Fla.).
Danielle Pankey had 15 points to lead Fairleigh Dickinson (1-5).
Penn State, which had gone with the same starting five through the first six games of the season, changed its look Sunday. Taylor, a junior guard who transferred from Maryland, and Talia East, a junior forward, each made their first career starts with the Lady Lions.
"I want us to play faster," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "Dara is certainly the fastest and the speediest player on our team. I don't think we're playing fast enough yet. I think we can play faster and we can push tempo even more. I think Dara gives us a great opportunity with her speed. The combination of her and [guard Alex Bentley] that will give us a chance to play faster."
It had the opposite effect at the start.
Penn State, which improved to 11-1 against the Northeast Conference, was playing its first home game in two weeks and expected to dominate Fairleigh Dickinson.
But the Lady Lions missed six of their first nine shots and trailed the Knights, 10-7, after Mariah Nunes made 1 of 2 free throws with 12:53 left in the first half.
"That's the first time we've started this lineup ever," Washington said. "So, I think it took a few minutes for those five to get a rhythm playing together."
Down by three, the Lady Lions' defense clamped down. The Knights went 6 minutes, 19 seconds without a basket and Penn State responded by blowing open the game.
Lucas connected on the second of her six 3-pointers to tie the game. Another three from the junior guard gave Penn State the lead for good at 13-10.
Nikki Greene's layup followed by a turnover from Fairleigh Dickinson and a layup from Taylor gave the Lady Lions a seven-point lead and forced a timeout from the visitors with 9:42 left in the first half.
A 3-pointer from Taylor more than two minutes later put Penn State up 29-11 before Pankey ended Fairleigh Dickinson's scoring drought.
"Our defensive intensity kind of kicked in," Washington said. "We're a team that sometimes it takes us a few minutes to feel the game out. Sometimes it takes us a whole half to feel the game out. It only took us half of the first half to figure out this game."
Penn State went 13 of 14 from the free-throw line over the final 5:36 of the first half to help build its lead to 50-21 at the intermission.
The Lady Lions increased their lead to 48 points by the midway point of the second half. Taylor's jumper with 30 seconds remaining in the game gave Penn State its biggest lead at 59 points and pushed the Lady Lions over the 100-point mark for the first time since a 103-42 win against Wagner on Dec. 18, 2011.
Penn State shot nearly 50 percent (36-for-73) from the field against Fairleigh Dickinson and committed only eight turnovers after handing the ball over 29 times in its 69-65 loss to Miami.
Taylor, who committed a team-high six turnovers against the Hurricanes, had two against the Knights and said holding on to the ball was really important for the Lady Lions.
"Coach was talking about us executing, focusing on offense," Taylor said. "I think a big part of that was trying to take care of the ball, getting more shot opportunities. I think we did that tonight."
NOTE: Senior forward Mia Nickson missed Sunday's game after Washington said she tweaked a muscle in the loss at Miami. Nickson, who started the first six games and averaged 9.0 points, is expected to play at No. 2 Connecticut on Thursday.

Back when I started this thread, I was working under the assuption that most if not all of the top UFA's would resign with their current clubs. Which is kinda what is happening. So, before all the silly insults started, these are the type of guys we have to take a look at. Guys that are out of favor with their current clubs, impending RFA's, or on teams that are out of the race and looking to sell off.
One more tha i would add to the list is: Okposo with the Isles. He is only 24, a RH shooter, has good size, very good defensively and has a resonable contract. With all of that beign said, why would they move him? well.... it is the Isles and they have some real weird payroll limits. He has already shown he can score at the NHL level. 3 different seasons with 18 or more goals, not a bad job on a really bad team.

Syracuse has a lot of talent to replace on the offensive side of the ball. Joining Ryan Nassib, Alec Lemon, Marcus Sales and others is talented left tackle Justin Pugh. Pugh announced his intentions on twitter Thursday night.
"I have decided to forgo my last year of football at Syracuse University and pursue my dream of playing in the NFL," Pugh tweeted. "Thanks for all the support!"
"Coach Marrone and Coach Adkins have been great throughout my career, including through this process," Pugh added in a Syracuse University release. "I wanted to be honest with everyone as I made this decision and they were the same with me. My Syracuse career was the best four years of my life. My teammates, coaches, the staff and the fans have been great. I would not change anything about my decision to attend Syracuse or my career. I am so happy I came to Syracuse University. I will always be active in the Orange football program and the Syracuse community. I love the Orange. Go 'Cuse."
"Justin is a big part of this program turning the corner," said head coach Doug Marrone in the same release. "He came in with us four years ago and gave us everything he had. We are proud of him for earning his degree and for what he has accomplished on the field as a leader of this team. He has earned it. I believe he will be very successful at the next level and in everything he does outside of football. Justin will always be part of the Orange football family."
It remains unclear how the Orange will replace the steady lineman. Sean Hickey could slide over to the left side, or a JUCO tackle could be move into the position.
Regardless, the Syracuse offense will look very different in 2013 as they look to build on the success of the 2012 record breaking season.

Company Overview: Despite the severe consequences of driving under the influence, DUI's still occur far too often. One of the biggest reasons for this is the fact that patrons simply do not know when they are too intoxicated to drive. Everyone processes alcohol differently, and there are no universal standards to predict someone's blood alcohol content. BreathAdvisor™ eliminates the unknown factor and provides an accurate measurement, every time. BreathAdvisor™ has created a cutting-edge touchscreen kiosk housing law enforcement grade fuel cell breathalyzers to provide a blood alcohol content reading accurate to +/- 0.005. The kiosks even have the ability to connect with local transportation companies to provide patrons a fast and easy way to get a ride home. Our company installs and maintains kiosks at no charge to venue owners. Once the kiosk is installed, any patron can get an accurate, anonymous breathalyzer reading of their current blood alcohol content for a small fee. We also offer interactive advertising services to companies wishing to show their support for responsible drinking. BreathAdvisor™ strives to reduce DUI related incidents by providing customers with an anonymous, accurate B.A.C. reading and, if necessary, a safe option to get home.
Future Growth Plans: We have begun production of our first 10 kiosks and plan to implement them around Salt Lake City, Utah in early November 2012. We plan to begin our national expansion phase early next year.
Major Accomplishments: Finalized the first kiosk in July, 2012. We have been endorsed by a publicly traded company (LifeLoc Technologies, Colorado). We were featured on CityWeekly and various kiosk news sites.

Industry: Software
Company Overview: Chaos Buffalo Games is a video game development studio with a focus on creating cross-platform multitouch games and tools for game development. We believe there is a growing accessibility issue in the market for game development tools resulting from recent trends in hardware and the growth of new operating systems. Most game development tools currently run only on Windows or OSX with plans only to allow their developers to target Android and iOS devices for their finished products. With emerging markets and younger generations prefering tablet and smartphones to the traditional setup, it is imperative to create tools that allow potential artists and developers to take advice of the power of these devices. Our mission is to "give our customers the power to develop and share games for any platform, on any platform." The custom, open-source technology stack underlying everything we do allows us to quickly and painlessly build software for nearly every combination of hardware, software, and input devices out there. Whether it is a Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, or iOS device using any combination of input types: mouse, keyboard, gamepad, touchscreen, or motion sensors like the Microsoft Kinect. We firmly believe that anyone with a computer should have the power to create and express themselves, regardless of that computer's hardware and OS, and our game engine is the first game engine built from the ground up with development on mobile and desktop platforms in mind.

Brolin Mawejje ('15)
Instagram: farfromhomemovie
Launched in 2012
Number of Employees other than Owners: 10
Approximate Yearly Revenue: Pre-revenue
Industry: Media & Video Production
Company Overview: Chair 83 Productions was established to create a documentary chronicling the inspirational story of Brolin Mawejje. Coming from humble beginnings in Uganda, Brolin was fortunate enough to find his way to America as a 12 year old. But his initial move to Massachussetts revealed it's own set of adversities. Brolin struggled to find his path in an unfamiliar culture and battled depression, abandonment, and anger. It was not until Brolin found snowboard that the doors of life started to open. Currently a pre-med student at Westminster College, Brolin is well on track to becoming an orthopedic. He also has dreams to become the first Ugandan to snowboard in the Winter Olympics.
Future Growth Plans: As Brolin's story continues to grow so does our project. What started as just an idea has grown into a life changing experience for Brolin and the whole Far From Home team. The past is written but we are in the middle of what could become one of the greatest underdog stories of all time. We will document Brolin's future as it happens, but retrace his journey starting in Uganda to tell his past. As the story unfolds, the project grows bigger and bigger. Brolin's story truly has the power to inspire anyone facing challenges in their own life. The imagery and contrast that this journey contains will reach into the eharts of an audience worldwide and empower anyone to pursue their dreams.
Major Accomplishments: Our biggest milestone thus has far has been the launch party we hosted in the Gore Auditorium on Westminster campus on March 22nd. We pushed the capacity of the auditorium as all seats were filled and people lined the stairs to get a first look at Far From Home. We had a great group of sponsors there including Redbull, Saga, Discrete, JibBrand, and the Utah Film Commission. We could not have asked for a better turnout and this event was a testament to all the progress we made this year.

Approximate Yearly Revenue: Pre-revenue
Industry: Medical
Company Overview: Our mission at LIYEN Inc. is to create empowering 'life devices.' With our first product, the SLYDER, we aim to start a revolution of empowerment for asthmatics by innovating the inhaler, while infusing beautiful aesthetic design and usability. At LIYEN, we view the overlooked, everyday medical devices as 'consumer goods' that should be wanted as much as needed by the end user. We place great emphasis in incorporating this desire driven philosophy into the design of our products. This is why the SLYDER doesn't resemble an inhaler, but has the look and feel of an iPhone. This guiding philosophy in our product development allows us to create devices that users not only depend on to manage their condition, but connect with on an emotional level while providing a sense of confidence and empowerment.
Future Growth Plans: Currently, we are focusing on bringing our novel inhaler device, the SLYDER, to market. We will initially develop our product at the Bio Innovations Gateway while focusing on Utah and the Intermountain West as our primary market. After product validation, we will expand into the national market and seek to establish larger manufacturing here locally. We will also obtain our CE mark, market test, and expand into parts of Europe in the future. We also have plans of expanding our product portfolio into other respiratory products, and various diabetic devices.

We then post the top designs on our website, which are voted on by our online community through our website, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Once these designs have been voted on we then take the top designs based on category submissions, and put them into manufacturing and sell our pajamas to the world. We pay our designers, children and artists, a reward for their work and that reward could be anywhere from cash to a college scholarship. Our motivation; for every pair of pajamas that is purchased we give a meal to a hungry child in need. Because No Child Should Ever Go To Bed Hungry, and we believe that every child should Dream In Comfort.

Last night at the Social Luxe Lounge I set her on the floor and turned and she was gone. I found her at the feet of Chris Mann.
I'm going to try to get some organization to my room while Ivy sleeps- our roommates (Erin & Alice) are off to explore the city. (By the way, Alice is the first baby ever that Ivy doesn't try to tackle! They are CUTE together.) Then I'm off to walk around downstairs and finally meet Rick from Tiny Prints, and then we have lunch and sessions and eighty million parties tonight.
This is fun.

|Downed power line results in family tragedy
|| Print |
Downed Power Line Results In Family Tragedy
The deaths of three members of a California family demonstrate the dangers associated with downed overhead power lines. Authorities believe high winds caused the 12,000 volt line to topple into the back yard of a San Bernardino residence. At that location a 43-year-old man apparently was electrocuted either by contact with the wire or by the voltage radiating from the point where the wire touched the ground.
Authorities believe the man's wife and their 21-year-old son were subsequently in turn electrocuted when they attempted to rescue those previously overcome by the deadly current.
Safe Electricity urges everyone encountering downed power lines to assume that they are live. Always assume that they're hot and never go close. Since it is impossible to know if a power line is energized or not, one should always avoid it. Electricity is always looking for a path to the ground, and from the point where a wire contacts the earth, deadly voltage will radiate for an unknown distance.
Firefighters found the bodies of the three family members at the San Bernardino home, but said it was too dangerous to immediately free them. The firefighters had to wait until the utility linemen cut the power and the bodies could be recovered.
The Safe Electricity program puts great importance on always knowing where power lines are located around you. Anyone on foot can become fatally injured, whether touching a low hanging power line or being near one on the ground.
If you see an overhead power line out of place, quickly notify your local utility or emergency personnel.

Pursuing the truth as a community and dialoguing with the culture are essential elements of our education.Explore DSPT
We study the questions that matter in the tradition of Saint Thomas Aquinas.Explore DSPT
What makes DSPT unique?Read what our students think!
Our programs integrate philosophy and theology to apply the wisdom of these traditions today.Explore DSPT
What do our students value about our education?watch video
See who the contributors are in this volume that was published in honor of our beloved past professor.
DSPT Professor of Philosophy, Margarita Vega, PhD, was awarded $10,000 for a new course she will offer entitled, "Can the Mind be Reduced to its Physiological Basis?" Read about the course.
As a Senior Fellow at the Berkeley Insitute, DSPT Professor Anselm Ramelow, OP will deliver a series of lectures. Free and open to the public.
Take a look at the classes we are offering this Fall: Philosophy of Nature, Liturgical Foundations, One Creator God and more.
For students wishing to focus their Master of Arts studies more on coursework, our theology department has developed this program to culminate in an exam rather than a thesis.
We asked our students, faculty and alumni what makes DSPT so special. Hear what they had to say.
We hold that philosophy and theology are two facets of a single conversation, taking into account both the insights that are discovered by human reason and those that are only accessible to us as they are revealed in Scripture and tradition.
We host a variety of speakers and events - The Convocation of the College of Fellows, Aquinas Lecture and more. Please join us!!
Meet our professors and learn about our classes, concentrations and programs to see what makes us unique. Do you have questions? Would you like to sit in on a class? Contact us to get more information or plan a visit.
I hope to instill in my students an appreciation of the shared existential concerns of Hellenistic Christians, Jews and Pagans. I encourage my students to put their energy into reading primary texts & to learn the important skill of transcultural interpretation. I will say what every teacher says: I learn from my students. That is why teaching is a joy for me.
I have long had a penchant for the really core questions of human and Christian life, such as those concerned with basic moral principles (freedom, responsibility, intentionality, and the relation between who we are and what we do), as well as the fundamental principles of Christology: just who really is Jesus Christ in relation to God and to us.
We hold that philosophy and theology are two facets of a single conversation, taking into account both the insights that are discovered by human reason and those that are only accessible to us as they are revealed in Scripture and tradition.
Our programs allow you to integrate the fine arts with philosophy and theology in three areas of concentration: Religion and the Arts, Sacred Arts and Aesthetics.
Our Faculty value the necessary and fruitful partnership between philosophy and theology, creating a communal learning environment suffuse with this interdisciplinary approach.
This class is designed to present a survey of some of the twentieth-century Thomists, and examine the development of the thought of St. Thomas in dialogue with the challenges of modernity and the problems of contemporary society.
