Macmillan CNSs are registered nurses, who have been educated to first degree level and have completed postgraduate learning or who are working towards postgraduate qualifications.
CNSs are clinical experts in nursing practice within a specialty area. The specialty may be focused on a population, such as young people; the type of care, such as palliative care; the type of problem, such as lymphoedema or a particular type of cancer, such as lung cancer (Excellence in Cancer Care: The Contribution of the Clinical Nurse Specialist, NCAT, 2010).
Macmillan CNSs provide leadership, innovation and expertise. This can be directly, when patients have highly complex care needs that require specialist assessment and care planning, or indirectly, by supporting and guiding others to provide care and support.
A CNS is required to maintain their specialist knowledge and skills and to be up-to-date with recent advances in research and practice development. Macmillan provides support for the CNS to maintain the highest level of practice through a number of resources and funding opportunities.
For further information and research about the impact of CNS posts, please see our CNS evidence review [PDF].
Macmillan has developed a core job description and person specification to describe the skills, knowledge and behaviours required of a Macmillan CNS. The job description outlines the minimum requirements for all new Macmillan CNS posts, whether treatment-specific, site-specific or working within palliative and end-of-life care.
Band 6 CNS job description [PDF].
Band 7 CNS job description [PDF].
The content of the job description should be reflected in all new CNS job descriptions, although the format and language is likely to differ according to the employing partner organisation's preferences. Additional local requirements may be added to ensure the relevance and impact of the post.
The minimum selection criteria for a Macmillan CNS is:
Ideally, nurses applying for Macmillan CNS posts should have experience of working in community care, be able to demonstrate high level assessment and care planning skills or experience working in autonomous or semi-autonomous roles.
Often practical experience is as important as formal study when preparing for a CNS career.
Some nurses may be appointed into a post but still require additional learning to enable them to practice at specialist level. Macmillan supports professionals identified as having development needs from the earliest stage of specialisation up to and including expert and advanced practice, through:
The Macmillan CNS is required to demonstrate a range of skills and competences to lead and develop a Macmillan service that is sensitive to patients and carers needs. They work closely within a multi-disciplinary team as well as providing consultancy for other health and social care professionals; all working to support people affected by cancer.
Working in partnership with Skills for Health, Macmillan has developed a Nationally Transferable Role (NTR) for Macmillan CNSs that outlines the competences required to fulfill the role. The Macmillan core job description for Macmillan CNSs, complements the NTR, by providing a competence framework based on National Occupational Standards and National Workforce Competences.
Macmillan CNS NTR [PDF].
As Macmillan professionals are employed directly through our partner organisations, all of our CNS and other clinical roles are advertised on the NHS Jobs website, as well as in health-related media and journals.

In a sea of diet fads and magic weightloss pills, The Food Life Project is a breath of fresh air. It's a practical, hands-on program all about real people, real food, and real nutrition – no pills, scams or fads about it.
Alison Lewis is the woman behind the project and she's plenty well qualified for it, too. Among other accomplishments, she's a culinary nutritionist, cookbook author, blogger, mom of three, and president of her own food media consulting company called Ingredients, Inc.
Alison created the Food Life Project as an extension of her company to educate people in a more personal way about how to utilize food, nutrition and fitness to bring value to their everyday lives. She was inspired to start the project during her time spent at speaking events for corporations, business groups and fitness studios. People would come up to her afterwards asking for more information and help with shopping, cooking, and eating healthy, and she felt there was such a great need in this area that the idea practically bore itself.
The Food Life Project is a culinary coaching business that encompasses grocery store tours, kitchen and pantry cleanses, private cooking classes, individual health/wellness coaching, and small group webinar series coaching. Depending on which service you sign you up for, you'll receive coaching from Alison via phone, skype, webinar, and even in person.

Maji, I haven't voted for an incumbent or incumbent party for the last 20 yrs. I think both parties stink. Yes the dems and MSM demonized the Tea Party because they don't want TP's to win and move back to what the country was set up to be. The founding fathers knew we would have times like this. I have supported every TP. So don't vote any incumbent. I am hoping Mitch loses and the R's get the senate and retire Harryass also. That would be good.

"We can drill a lot of holes in the ground, but without a collection system to get it to market, we're wasting our time."
That is how state Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, explained the reason for holding Tuesday's Senate Majority Policy Committee hearing here on Marcellus Shale pipeline issues.
"This is an education process," Yaw said. "We will hopefully learn something we can take back to Harrisburg and share with our legislators."
Article Photos
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
State Sens. Mike Folmer, R-Lebanon; Edwin Erikson, R-Newtown Square; Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, and E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, talk following a Senate Majority Policy Committee Public Hearing on Marcellus Shale Pipelines at Pennsylvania College of Technology Tuesday.
The hearing at the Pennsylvania College of Technology's Thompson Professional Development Center was hosted by Yaw, who sat on a panel with committee chairman and state Sen. Edwin B. Erickson, R-Newtown Square; state Sen. Michael Folmer, R-Lebanon; and state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township.
The two-hour hearing included testimony from industry representatives and state and federal regulators.
Jay B. Irwin, manager of operations and technical service for Williams Midstream, told the panel his company operates more than 15,000 miles of interstate pipeline, which accounts for the transportation of about 12 percent of the nation's natural gas.
Williams Midstream is an Oklahoma-based company involved in natural gas processes, including gathering, processing and interstate transportation. The company's Transco pipeline delivers 8 percent of the nation's and 30 percent of Pennsylvania's natural gas, he said.
Irwin said his company has an excellent safety record. Most accidents involving pipeline involves third-party contractors digging in areas where gas pipes are located, he said.
Irwin said he supports the "One Call Before You Dig" system, which provides residents and contractors with a single number to call - 811 - to determine if a pipeline exists where digging is to occur.
Paul Metro, Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission Gas Safety Division chief engineer, agreed with Yaw that a safe and efficient collection system is needed if the benefits of Marcellus Shale exploration are to be fully realized. Metro explained why that system is not in place.
Getting older
"Pennsylvania's current transmission pipeline infrastructure cannot be utilized for the Marcellus Shale gas due to the high pressures and volumes of gas," Metro said. "(The state's) intra-state transmission lines have limited capacity and were designed for lower pressure shallow wells. The Marcellus Shale development will require larger diameter pipelines operated at higher pressures."
Robert F. Powelson, who serves on the state Public Utilities Commission, said the state already has about 50,000 miles of pipeline in place. The problem with that pipeline, however, is that it is old.
"We have an aging infrastructure," Powelson said. "The fact of the matter is, it's probably 50 to 70 years old."
According to Metro, the state commission has adopted safety regulations consistent with federal regulations. Those regulations apply to most - but not all - natural gas gathering pipeline, he said.
No oversight
in rural areas
There are four classes of pipeline, each designated according to the population density of the area in which it is located. Class I pipeline, located in rural areas with the lowest population density, requires no regulator oversight, he said.
Metro said no data exists regarding safety incidents involving Class I lines.
Mark Casaday, vice president for Penn Virginia Resource Partners LP, said that if the state decides to regulate Class I gathering lines, the regulations should be consistent with regulations already in place for other classes.
Casaday said the state must maintain exclusive regulatory power.
Allowing local municipalities or authorities to develop their own regulations for Class I gathering lines could create "a totally unworkable and highly inconsistent patchwork" of regulations that would cripple the industry or increase the cost of gas to the point no one would buy it.
Casaday recommended the state PUC create a gas pipeline safety division to handle Class I regulatory oversight.
Jessica Miller, a principal with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., presented a company overview and discussed plans for expanding its pipeline capacity.
The company's pipeline capacity of 700 million cubic feet per day is able to serve 3.5 million households in Pennsylvania, Miller said.
More pipeline
on the way
With natural gas production in the Marcellus Shale projected to increase dramatically - along with an increase in demand in the north and southeastern regions of the country - the company intends to ramp up its pipeline projects to accommodate the increased need, Miller said.
The company is proposing or already has initiated projects to expand pipeline capacity to more than 8 billion cubic feet per day, she said.
Two of the projects, which are designed to deliver natural gas to the northeast, would create 1 billion cubic feet of new capacity, she said.
The company plans to construct the pipeline along existing pipeline rights-of-way to lessen the environmental impacts, Miller said.

A Major Setback for Carbon Capture & Storage
David Hone, Energy Collective
Google Images
Perhaps the best thirty minutes I spent at COP18 in Doha was listening to a presentation by Myles Allan, Professor of Geosystem Science in the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford and Head of the Climate Dynamics Group in the University's Department of Physics. The presentation was given at the opening of the WBCSD Business Day on Monday 10th December and focused on the root issue that must ultimately be dealt with, the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Myles made the point, very clearly with the aid of props, that while the UNFCCC and others argue endlessly about the flow rate of CO2 into the atmosphere (i.e. the emissions at some point in time), that fossil carbon continues to add to the carbon stock in the biosphere and that this stock is...

While listing several things he felt Penn State had accomplished on 2012 signing day, new Nittany Lion defensive coordinator Ted Roof seemed to have his finger on the fast-forward button.
"We've got a great jump on the next class, as well,'' Roof said.
After the scandal and coaching change resulted in several decommitments that made this year's Penn State recruiting class a letdown, the Lion coaching staff has vowed to hit the ground running for 2013, a year that might be crucial to the program.
"Obviously, there are some holes they need to fill in the 2013 class,'' said Sean Fitz of the Lions247 website. "There's still a lot of work to be done. That will be the judge of how this staff responds to everything that's coming at them right now.''
According to Fitz's network and others that cover recruiting, Penn State already has issued close to two dozen scholarship offers to high school junior prospects - some of those were submitted by Joe Paterno's coaches but will be honored by Bill O'Brien's staff - that are known. Even more might be forthcoming, as the Lions already have scheduled "junior days'' on Feb. 18 and Feb. 27 when they'll have a group of prospects on campus at once.
"They have to be aggressive,'' Cory James, who has already identified about a half-dozen recruits who've been invited to the junior days for Scout.com's Penn State website, said. "They have to get out there to tell people what Penn State is all about, and they have to get people on campus so they can see what's going on there.''
"When the [prospects] come on campus, the players on the team are the most important in recruiting. They sell the program,'' Ryan Snyder of BlueWhite Illustrated said.
While Penn State currently has 14 seniors scheduled to be graduating next year, the number of scholarships available is expected to be closer to 20 because some of the large number of redshirt juniors are unlikely to come back in 2013. There's also the potential for some players to transfer because they don't fit in with the new coaching regime.
"Quarterback's going to be big. I've already heard [they've approached] five or six, some of whom with offers, which you wouldn't see under the former staff,'' James said. "I know they would have liked another defensive back in this class, so I can see that being a priority, along with quarterback and offensive line, and, I would think, some defensive ends in there as well, and probably several running backs; they've offered some guys there as well.''
With O'Brien's resume working with Tom Brady with the New England Patriots, he's expected to draw a lot of return interest from quarterbacks. The first two that have gotten offers are the Virginia duo of Ryan Burns and Christian Hackenberg, both of whom are at least 6-4. Hackenberg is at Fork Union Military Academy but his family is from the Pottsville area.
Some others on whom to keep an eye are Connecticut's Boeing Brown, New Jersey's Kevin Olsen, Ohio's Malik Zaire and Florida's Tyler Cogswell and John O'Korn, who moved south from Huntingdon last year.
"Bill O'Brien's going to get his quarterback in 2013,'' Snyder said.
Of course, having a good quarterback attracts good receivers. Cedar Cliff's Adam Breneman and West Virginia's Ryan Switzer are considered two of the best possibilities to commit early and get the ball rolling for Penn State's 2013 class. Switzer draws comparisons to the Patriots Wes Welker. Breneman is the early leader to be the No. 1 tight end prospect in the country.
"They're going to have to bring in some vocal guys, as well as land some of these marquis guys. If you bring in a quarterback, all of a sudden your class is instantly valid to other skill players,'' Fitz said. "If you bring in a Breneman or a Christian Hackenberg, you are setting yourself up. It's all about momentum.''
On signing day, the assistant coaches said they'd still recruit primarily from the same area the staff focused under Paterno. However, there were some adjustments, and much of the staff has recruiting ties along the Atlantic Coast, in the Deep South and in Texas, so don't be surprised to see the Lions try to pluck a player or two out of there.
"Obviously, everybody's going to be in Pennsylvania. We're going to try to do a little bit better job in Ohio, which they haven't done in the past, and in Big Ten country. We'll continue to hit New York, New Jersey and surrounding areas, Philadelphia. It might go a little more south with Coach O'Brien's experience and some of the other guys on the staff's experience,'' assistant head coach Stan Hixon, who used to coach at LSU, among other places, said.
Other early four-star-or-better prospects with whom Penn State is involved are Central Valley receiver Robert Foster, North Allegheny guard Patrick Kugler, New Jersey linebacker Buddy Brown, Ohio linebacker Ben Gedeon, Indianapolis linebacker Tim Kimbrough, Richmond running back Derrick Green, Virginia defensive end Jonathan Allen, Virginia safety Tim Harris and New Jersey defensive tackle Greg Webb.
"The coaches are going to be going after some top prospects this year,'' Snyder said. "It should be an exciting year. If you were ever going to sign up for one of these recruiting websites, this would be the year.''

Her Daddy Issues
Are Her Daddy Issues To Blame?
Page 2 of 2
ClinginessWe typically apply the "daddy issues" label to women who seem to crave male attention — and ploys for male attention can take many forms, including clinginess. Every woman wants care and assurance from her partner and, of course, girlfriends want to spend quality time with their boyfriends. But a girl with daddy issues wants those things in excess. She may throw a fit whenever you make plans without her. She might beg and bargain whenever you try to leave her apartment. It's important to keep her daddy issues in check by establishing strict boundaries. Stick to your guns and maintain a separate social life. If you give in to a bout of clinginess once, you're sunk forever.
Compare and contrastAs we said at the outset, according to Jung, her daddy issues are all connected to her relationship with her father. Whether you buy Jung's theory or not, we think it's fair to say that a woman's relationship with her father affects her romantic relationships. If her dad failed to show her love and affection, she might grow up expecting the worst from men. If you find her blowing up over minor screw-ups, it might be because your mistake reminds her of her father's poor parenting.
The key in these situations is to make your partner aware of these unfair comparisons. You are not her father, for better or worse. You can only be yourself; show her the reliable, attentive and caring guy you are, and eventually she'll stop blaming you for someone else's mistakes.

Luxurious Beachfront Starfish Villa
Hawaii is one of the best locations in the world to enjoy some refreshing holidays and it gets all the more special with the presence of luxurious beachfront villas. One such villa that can be hired for around $1,000 per night in Hawaii is dubbed the Starfish Villa.
The entire villa has 4 separate units measuring 2000 square foot each and this can be rented as a 12 bedroom complex or separately as 4 individual villas. One of these villas even has an upright Baldwin Piano so you can rest assured of satisfying your musical instincts amidst a serene surrounding. Topping the feature list in this villa as always is a slat-water swimming pool.
It's a very beautiful and modern house. It has a very nice design, both in terms of exterior design as well as of interior décor. Every room as specific look, a different atmosphere and décor. But what they all share in common is the modern and simple style. It's nice how all the materials and patterns work together and form a complete and equilibrated image. And all the different colors also work together to form complementary and colorful images. It's a beautiful design, modern and elegant and also stylish. It looks like a great place to spend the holydays, but also to live in. It has a very relaxing and warm look.

For the lucky 68 teams selected to the NCAA tournament, Sunday was a dream come true—and a sign that it's time to hit the film room and go to work.
In a special broadcast on CBS, the NCAA revealed how the greatest showcase in basketball will play out this year. Wichita State, Arizona, Florida and Virginia are the top seeds as expected, while North Carolina State, Xavier, Iowa, Tennessee and the four No. 16 seeds will have to play their way into the round of 64 later this week.
- Download the Printable Bracket
- Follow the Latest Bracket Updates Live
- Play the Free Bracket Challenge
Because of our increased understanding of the selection process, some of the surprise factor has been taken out. Guys like ESPN's Joe Lunardi often predict the bracket with such relative closeness to the final product that phrases like "they're a No. 6 seed" litter fan conversations beginning in late February.
We knew Wichita State would lead the Midwest Region and Florida would be the top overall seed, simply because this stuff is basic knowledge now. But while that information re-purposes Selection Sunday as more of an affirmation of our pre-set beliefs than an information hub, it also makes the surprises or "controversial" decisions all the more exhilarating.
And watching people go absolutely insane on social media about these things makes it even better. Rationality goes out the window when it comes to fandom. There are enough creative profanities hurled on Twitter accounts that you almost wonder whether having the medium whatsoever is a good thing.
We, in the interest of keeping this a family affair, won't be discussing any of those. Instead, here's a look at some of the more safe-for-work reactions about how the bracket played out from across the interwebs.
One of the pervading topics of conversation coming out the selection show was the depth in the South Region. Top overall seed Florida has to tend with perhaps the nation's most talented team (No. 2 Kansas) and No. 3 Syracuse—a team that spent almost its entire season inside the Top Five. Chris Herring of The Wall Street Journal perhaps put it best:
Good Lord, the South region is insane.— Chris Herring (@HerringWSJ) March 16, 2014
That said, not everyone is sold on the high-profile teams running roughshod through the bracket. In selecting Florida to take the South, CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello also made an interesting prediction for the other team in the Elite Eight:
Florida over New Mexico in the Elite Eight.— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 16, 2014
Brian Hamilton of Sports Illustrated agrees, citing center Joel Embiid's looming back injury:
Hello, Kansas-New Mexico second round. Jayhawks vulnerable to Cam Bairstow and crew sans Joel Embiid.— Brian Hamilton (@BrianHamiltonSI) March 16, 2014
Embiid has missed each of the last four games, with Kansas splitting the contests and going into overtime in one of its wins. The Jayhawks have been particularly shaky on the defensive end, giving up over 90 points in losses to Iowa State and West Virginia. Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel questioned them even being a No. 2 seed without Embiid:
Kansas a No. 2 seed despite not having Joel Embiid. Interesting seeding choice.— Matt Murschel (@osmattmurschel) March 16, 2014
Of course, Kansas isn't the only high seed that could be in danger early. Marcus Smart and Oklahoma State have been a looming potential high seed since regathering its momentum down the stretch. Chuck Carlton of The Dallas Morning News noted other No. 1 seeds have to be feeling good that they're not Arizona right now:
Right now, every other No. 1 seed is glad they won't see Marcus Smart and Co. in the second round.— Chuck Carlton (@ChuckCarltonDMN) March 16, 2014
The West Region as a whole leaves some underwhelmed. Decisions to allow Nebraska into the field without a play-in game and having BYU as a No. 10 drew some questions. But Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio simply doesn't like the region as a whole:
The West Region as now composed ensures a team I don't think is good will make Final Four— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) March 16, 2014
The Midwest, on the other hand, got nearly everyone talking. Talked about as a potential No. 1 seed by some, Louisville landed as a surprising No. 4 seed—perhaps the most shocking decision of the entire selection show. Here are some of the best shocked reactions about the defending champs' lack of respect from the committee:
Louisville as a #4 seed demonstrates that the selection committee relies on ridiculous formulas rather than common sense. 12 teams better???— Brian Zipse (@Zipseatthetrack) March 16, 2014
NCAA selection committee say it doesn't care about RPI that much but that's the ONLY reason they seeded Louisville as a 4. Ridiculous.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) March 16, 2014
Louisville had an argument, not a great one, but an argument, to be a 1 seed. Them getting a 4 seed is absurd.— nick wright (@getnickwright) March 16, 2014
Louisville got hosed.— Dan Levy (@DanLevyThinks) March 16, 2014
The committee's dislike didn't just extend to Louisville, though, as Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports said:
Louisville a four? Cincinnati a five? Committee hated the AAC.— Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelCBS) March 16, 2014
SMU's exclusion from the Dance was another factor many pointed to discussing the committee's trepidation about the AAC. USA Today's Nicole Auerbach had the conference-wide breakdown:
AAC got little respect from committee: No SMU> Louisville a 4, Cincinnati a 5, UConn a 7 & Memphis an 8.— Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) March 16, 2014
Unsurprisingly, with a No. 4 seed like Louisville, the Midwest is unquestionably the most top-heavy. Top-seeded Wichita State is joined by second-seeded Michigan and third-seeded Duke to create a gauntlet any team would be lucky to get out of. Coupled with a potential matchup with Kentucky in the round of 32, CBS Sports' Matt Norlander notes the Shockers are going to have a difficult time staying undefeated:
Louisville. A four. Wichita State is getting freaking pinned against the wall here. BRACKET. OF. DOOM.— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) March 16, 2014
Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald also makes a good point, though, if Wichita State can pull off the seemingly impossible:
Seriously, if Wichita State makes the Final Four, every doubter should eat every single word. That Region is bonkers.— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) March 16, 2014
Another No. 4 seed that generated a ton of conversation was Michigan State. The Spartans were the top-ranked team in the country before faltering due to injury, and their victory in the Big Ten tournament made many believe they had recovered enough for a No. 3.
Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports pointed out Delaware drew its way out of contention for his Cinderella squad:
Well, I was gonna make Delaware my Cinderella Sweet 16 team and then they drew Michigan State.— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) March 16, 2014
For those looking for perspective about how silly these reactions are, though, the always reliable Sports Pickle made a good point:
You could make a strong case that Michigan State isn't even the best 4-seed of the past 5 minutes. But whatever ... BEST 4-SEED EVER?!?!?!— SportsPickle (@sportspickle) March 16, 2014
In the end, perspective matters most. The great thing about the NCAA tournament is everything is decided on the floor. The teams that are playing best will make the Final Four, and about 15 minutes into Thursday's action we'll all forget the Bracket of Death talk. People remember champions—not the teams champions played before cutting down the nets.
For now, though...CAN YOU BELIEVE LOUISVILLE IS A NO. 4 SEED??

Chinese Navy Strips, Displays WMDs For US Sailors
WTF?? Seriously, this story is bizarre. Apparently five Chinese vessels moved dangerously close to the US Navy ship "Impeccable" operating in international waters. Then this:
The US ship sprayed one Chinese vessel with water from fire hoses to try to force it away, the Pentagon said.
But the Chinese crew stripped to their underwear and carried on approaching to within 25ft (8m), it added.
The Pentagon identified the Chinese boats as a naval intelligence-gathering ship, a Bureau of Maritime Fisheries Patrol Vessel, a State Oceanographic Administration patrol vessel, and two small trawlers.
"The Chinese crew stripped to their underwear"?? What the hell. We need some more details on this one. Or better yet, some video.

Editor's note: A previous version of this report indicated a proposed $807,893 budget amendment would go toward funding raises for non-union employees. In all, $47,334 would come from the general fund in this year's budget.
KALAMAZOO, MI -- The Kalamazoo City Commission on Tuesday will consider a 1 percent wage increase for non-union employees, including City Manager Kenneth Collard and the other four commission appointees.
Collard is asking commissioners to approve a resolution giving raises to non-union for employees including himself, the city assessor, the city attorney, the city clerk and the internal auditor -- and also give them a one-time lump sum payment of 0.5 percent.
He is asking commissioners to make a budget amendment for $807,893.
As of June 30, the city's strategic action plan -- a way to reorganize the city after the implementation of the early retirement package -- has shown savings in the general fund of $855,227 in base wages and fringe benefits, according to a memo from Collard, Jerome Post, director of human resources and labor relations, and Tom Skrobola, chief financial officer to commissioners.
The proposed $807,893 budget amendment would be covered by savings the city has seen already through its realignment.
If approved, the 1 percent increases citywide would cost $26,868 in this year's budget, with $16,658 of that coming from the general fund. The 0.5 percent lump-sum payment would cost $49,447 citywide, of which $30,676 would come from the general fund. Together that represents a $47,334 impact on the general fund in this year's budget.
Unionized city employees received raises equivalent to between 1 and 2 percent of their base wages in fiscal year 2010, according to the memo. The city commission last fall approved contracts for union employees that included lump-sum bonuses between 0.5 and 1.5 percent of base wages. Non-bargained for employees haven't received raises or lump sum payments since a 2 percent raise 2009, according to the memo.
The city commission is meeting Tuesday night because of the Labor Day holiday.
Also Tuesday, the city commission will hear public comments and is expected to vote on the 2011 Kalamazoo Mall Sidewalk Maintenance Assessment at a per-front-foot cost of $13.752, up from $13.022 in 2010.
Property owners on the Kalamazoo Mall historically are assessed a per-front-foot cost to recover costs of sweeping and cleaning, picking up litter and repairing bricks, according to a city memo. The 2011 assessment is billed on an owner's 2011 tax role and reimburses the city for maintenance performed in 2011.
The assessment roll represents 10.4 percent of the 2011 Kalamazoo Mall Maintenance budget of $381,699, according to a city memo. Several property owners turned in surveys either supporting or opposing the assessment.
Ronald A. Cleveland, property owner of a unit at 222 N. Kalamazoo Mall, indicated his approval of the assessment, writing "Thank you!" A representative of company GPS Aquisitions LLC, at 107 W. Michigan Ave., indicated the company opposed the assessment, writing "Mall maintenance doesn't appear to exceed other downtown maintenance and should be covered by the already exorbitant downtown taxes."
Also on Tuesday, the city commission will consider adding a section to the city's fire code precluding the use of consumer fireworks except for three days on and surrounding national holidays.
Commissioners meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Kalamazoo City Hall, 241 W. South St.

|The Street and the Media (6/6/05)
|Written by Benjamin Dangl
|Sunday, 16 October 2005 18:07
La Vega, a sea of tin-roofed shacks and steep, narrow streets, is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Caracas, Venezuela. Most of the country's population lives in slums, or barrios like this. Until President Hugo Chavez came to power in 1998, politicians had done little more for these communities than seek their votes, and then forget about them. Under Chavez, much of the nation's oil wealth has been poured into social programs. As a result, many citizens have been able to receive an education or see a doctor for the first time in their lives. A recent visit I made to La Vega offered a close look into the inner workings of the government projects and grassroots fervor in Venezuela.
Calle y Media
Calle y Media (Street and Media) is a media collective located on a hilltop in La Vega. Katrina Kozarek, a member of the collective, introduced to me her friends in the neighborhood and pointed out the local Mercal, a common sight throughout poor neighborhoods in Caracas. "Government subsidized food is sold here," she said. "At the Mercals everything is always cheaper. Here you can usually get the basic stuff." She explained that the directors of the Mercals were currently looking into ways to buy products that were produced locally, not from corporations. Next to the Mercal a building had been constructed which is scheduled to include 8-12 computers and offer free workshops on computation and the internet.
A block from Katrina's apartment was a two story, octagonal building home to the local Barrio Adentro health clinic. A criticism I had heard of these clinics was that long lines often formed while people waited for hours to see a doctor. According to Katrina, this wasn't the case, "I have never seen a line outside of these clinics. There is no paper work. They take of medicine and everything for free. The care and quality is always good. In this neighborhood there is a Barrio Adentro every five blocks or so, which is another reason why there are no lines. The doctor usually receives patients in the morning and visits people in their houses in the afternoon. Most of the doctors are Cuban. The government just started sending Venezuelan students to study medicine in Cuba as well."
"We have a film screening every Friday," she said about Calle y Media's activities. "There is a small community newspaper and we're trying to raise money for a printing press to make T-shirts and fliers. There are various classes as well. I teach theatre, others teach printing, photography, internet skills and video. If people want to borrow equipment, they can do so and if they don't know how to use it, we teach them."
We walked into her apartment, which also served as a base for the collective's operations as well as a film editing office, kitchen and classroom. I was introduced to Atahualpa Perez, 18, who had been involved with Calle y Media's classes. "Most Venezuelan media just reports on how many people die in the barrio each week," he said. "They don't show anything about the youth movement, sports and culture here. What they mainly show is violence." Perez is trying to counter that coverage with the media he works in, which involves a pirated radio station and a news program.
Tony, 14, also attends video workshops with Marcelo Andrade, one of the members of Calle y Media. In turn, Tony has taught him how to change the tire on a car.
"Chavez isn't the Revolution, he's a part of it."
When I asked Marcelo what he thought of the Chavez administration, he said, "Chavez hasn't necessarily been giving people jobs. He's been helping to generate cooperatives. With cooperatives you can apply for a loan to start a business and then pay it back regularly with a low interest rate 5% percent of the population owns 80% of the country's wealth. This is changing now but these smaller political and social changes are preparing for a massive change in the future. Chavez's reforms are arming the people for change in the long term, 15 years from now."
"One big criticism I have is what the Chavez government is doing with the carbon mines that are going to be built in Cerro de Zulia in Western Venezuela near Maracaibo," Katrina explained. "They will be massive, and they have to make a lot of roads to do it. It will destroy the land and displace 300 indigenous families and farmers."
Next door to the Calle y Media apartment was another center of cultural and social activity in the neighborhood. The mother of the house, Alicia Cortez, also the Coordinator of the local Health Committee, explained how the Comedores Libres, or Free Cafeterias worked. She had been running the government funded cafeteria from her home for a year.
"Around 150 people come here each day to eat. We go around and look for families that seem the neediest and invite children who live in the street, sick people, pregnant women and so on," she explained while stirring a pot of soup and cutting up carrots at the same time. Her daughter, Ayari works in the Comedore Libre as well, but also spends time teaching at Mission Robinson, the government funded literacy program.
Alicia continued, "The meals are free and the food is served from 12-2 pm. Four women, including myself, work all morning to prepare the meals. In all the sectors of the barrios (a sector is an area of about five blocks) there is at least one Comedore Libre. With this program, people can depend on at least one good meal six days out of the week."
"Gordo" Edgar Lopez, Alicia's husband, is a worker at the Central University of Venezuela. "Gordo", a jovial man with a huge smile, is also well known drummer in the neighborhood.
"We've been doing community work for decades," he explained, sitting down at a table in the kitchen. "My mother and father were both union leaders and worked in a cooperative Since Chavez has been in office, community participation has increased and has been better facilitated. People have been given more responsibility over their own lives. We support and defend the Chavez government, but we are very critical when we need to be. If there are no criticisms, the revolution dies. Socialism fails when people stop having a voice in the government. I don't believe in saviors, I believe in the people."
Gordo's sentiment was shared with dozens of people I spoke with in Venezuela. It represented an enthusiasm to make the most of Venezuela's current political movement, and insure that it doesn't become bogged down in bureaucracy and centralization. Marcelo of Calle y Media put it well with, "Chavez isn't the revolution, he's a part of it."

Encyclopedia Athletica: Wisconsin
Welcome to your weekly guide to Nebraska's next game. You know the drill by now. We tackle the news and notes alphabetically. This week, it's Wisconsin and their's plenty of ground to cover from trash talk to uniforms.
BALL, MONTEE – The Badgers star running back suffered a concussion last week against UTEP – his second since August – but all accounts are that he'll play this week. While far off the pace that made him perhaps the leading Heisman candidate at the start of the season, Ball is still plenty dangerous. In fact, Nebraska fans don't have to look far for a good comparison. There's a lot of Rex Burkhead in Montee Ball (or vice versa).
BLACK – Nebraska will be wearing a black helmet for the first time in school history. Reviews have been mixed on the alternate uniform overall, but everyone seems to like the black helmet. Bonus points to Nebraska for keeping the football-N on the sides of the helmet and the same single red stripe.
COLORS – From afar, it's hard to tell Wisconsin red and Nebraska red apart, but there is a difference. The Badgers, officially wearing Cardinal and White, use PMS 200. The Huskers, officially wearing Scarlet and Cream, use PMS 186. (And here's a dirty secret: "Cream" is in name only. Nebraska just uses white in the Pantone Matching System.)
FIGHT SONG – It's impossible for me to be objective about "On Wisconsin." My high school adopted it as its fight song – modified to "On You Bobcats," of course, I didn't attend Wisconsin High – and thus it is my fight song. All of the usual fight song signifiers are here. Plunge through the line, drive the ball down the field, run a play-action rollout pass…again…ok, not the last one but you get the idea. (See Also: Waggle) Where "On Wisconsin" really shines is in the fanfare fandango that bridges the two verses — referred to as a six-measure interlude in 2/4 time in the video above. That's just plain fun.
And so is this: William T. Purdy, the song's composer, was about to enter it in a contest to find a new fight song for the University of Minnesota but was convinced to give it to his alma mater. Close call. Minnesota made out alright, however, with "Minnesota Rouser." But we'll cover that in a few weeks.
FISHER, SEAN – The senior linebacker waited patiently on the sidelines through most of Nebraska's non-conference slate, waiting for a team that didn't want to throw the ball 50 times a game out of a spread formation. No team epitomizes that better than Wisconsin. Middle linebacker Will Compton spent a lot of time, too much really, directing people as Nebraska held what amounted to an open casting call at Will linebacker following the loss to UCLA but that shouldn't be an issue with Fisher at the Sam spot. He's a senior, he's hungry, and he's smart. If you're looking for a dark horse candidate to have a big game on Saturday, you could do worse than picking Sean Fisher.
GILBERT, DAVID – The senior Wisconsin defensive end made waves (ripples?) this week when he said that Taylor Martinez, now with new and improved quarterback mechanics, still "looked like he was skipping rocks." The comments earned the starter a sport on the bench, for one play at least, and served to highlight the fact that Wisconsin and Nebraska need to play every year. Nice little rivalry brewing here.
MARTINEZ, TAYLOR – With Wisconsin throwing down the gauntlet this week (See Also: Gilbert, David), Nebraska's quarterback has something to prove yet again. So far this season he's been fantastic, completing passes at a clip few thought possible but this week offers a different test than the past two weeks: A real, actual defense. This game is one giant measuring stick for Martinez and he likely needs to be as good as he's been against the Arkansas State's and Southern Mississippi's of the world if Nebraska is truly going to contend for a Big Ten title.
RUSSELL, JACK – By all accounts, the Badgers are going with freshman kicker Jack Russell going forward. The freshman is 0-for-1 on field goal attempts this year after taking over for sophomore Kyle French who handled kicking duties in Wisconsin's first three games. If the game's close, its worth keeping in mind.
SERIES HISTORY – Nebraska and Wisconsin will meet for the seventh time on Saturday with the series currently tied at three wins apiece. The Badgers have never won in Lincoln. The series dates back to 1901 when Wisconsin beat Nebraska in Milwaukee, which, now that I think about it, isn't a bad idea for the future. Milwaukee's a fantastic city. Let's make this happen in 2015.
STAVE, JOEL – The redshirt freshman, Train-singing, talent-show pianist took over for Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien at halftime of Wisconsin's game against Utah State and made his first collegiate start against UTEP last week. The Badgers have done a good job of giving him manageable passing plays but its Nebraska's job to ruin that plan. Look for the Huskers to throw some early blitzes at Stave. Stopping the run on first and second down will also be key. Third-and-long situations with a freshman quarterback making his first road start – at night no less – is not where Wisconsin wants to be.
UNIFORMS – Never have uniforms been a bigger part of the pregame discussion than they have this week. Rather than rehash it all, I'll just say this: The alternates will keep Nebraska and Wisconsin from looking like negative images of one another, which is nice, and the helmet the Badgers will wear in this game is a 200 percent upgrade over what they usually wear. Not that the motion-W is bad, it's just never felt like a terribly good fit for the stolidly pro-style Badgers. Clean and sans-serif is the way to go, something Nebraska football has been practicing for quite some time.
WAGGLE – Whatever you want to call it – waggle, bootleg, or a simple play-action roll-out – Wisconsin runs this pass play a lot. (I prefer waggle because the word itself is sort of hilarious.) Against UTEP, the Badgers used play action on approximately 90 percent of their pass plays and I wouldn't expect to see a ton of drop backs this week either. That could make things interesting as Nebraska plays its first game in the Huskers base defense. (See Also: STAVE, JOEL)

Nine Perish as a Fatal Avalanche Turns Heli-Skiing into a Skiing Hell
Some 5,500 adventurous souls sign that waiver every year, along with a check for as much as $4,000 made out to Canadian Mountain Holidays. Then they fly high into the mountains of British Columbia for a week of rugged skiing in pristine wilderness, gliding through deep powder on steep, ungroomed slopes. In the judgment of 12 adventurous skiers from five countries who signed up for a heli-skiing adventure in the Bugaboo Mountains earlier this month, the potential for excitement outweighed the risks. Then reality came crashing down on them in the form of an avalanche: Eight men and a woman died, including one American, David Karetsky, 50, an Aspen, Colo., businessman. The deaths raised to 30 the number of Canadian Mountain Holidays heli-skiers killed in the past 26 years. Correspondents Mary Huzinec, Susan Hauser and Fred Hauptfuhrer spoke with three survivors of the disaster:
Jeff Bloomberg, 43, a New York City investment banker:
Prior to this point I had thought of helicopter skiing as being relatively safe. It's not a thrill-seeking sport in the sense of, Will I survive or not? The exhilaration is from skiing the unpacked powder.
The trip was supposed to run from Saturday, March 9, for a week. We flew to Calgary and took a bus and then a helicopter to the lodge. On the bus they school you on how to use the Skadi [a radio transceiver carried by skiers to find one another if buried in the snow]. So the first words you hear are about safety. At the lodge in the evening, you see a film on how to locate people if you are in a slide. You have no choice but to be aware that danger is involved. And the staff is constantly testing the snow. If there's a risk of an avalanche or a slide, they will avoid it.
The accident was on Tuesday afternoon, just after 3 P.M. We were 12 skiers and one guide. We started at 7,000 feet and traversed over to a slope called Bay Street. A group had preceded us by about five minutes. Our guide, Jocelyn Lang, was followed by skiers in single file about 75 feet apart. There was a relatively steep and narrow chute to the extreme right. Then people skied across to the left center of the slope to wait for each other before we would ski on. Nine people skied ahead of me after the guide.
Ted Leach, my old Dartmouth roommate, was the "sweep," or last skier. I was just before him. Hilary, a British woman, was a little hesitant to go down the chute. She waited a bit, and I preceded her. When I reached the end of the chute, Ted yelled, "Stop, Jeff! There's a slide!" I was skiing out to join the others and stopped. I saw a break in the snow, which I later learned was about 270 feet across, two to six feet deep. It made no crack, no sound.
Hilary Dowson, 46, owner of a bed and breakfast in Upper Broughton, England: The mountain just broke off and slid. There was no noise.
Bloomberg: The wave of snow just swept the other skiers away. Literally, it was seconds from the time it started to the time it slid 2,000 feet down the slope. [Avalanches can travel more than 100 mph.] I watched it—there was a numbness—I was just looking, hoping to see people bob [above the snow]. Jocelyn wound up 2,000 feet below. She dug herself out and was uninjured.
Dowson: We waited until the snow stopped moving, then began to search. I hadn't been able to see past the trees to see what had become of the others. My husband, Ben, and his cousin, Buffy Clifton, were caught in the avalanche, but I don't remember any feeling at all. I was numb, really, just on automatic.
Bloomberg: Three of us from the top and the group ahead from the bottom—we found the first body in about four minutes.
Dr. Philip Allmendinger, 53, a surgeon from Hartford, who, with his sons Scott, 24, and Craig, 21, had quit skiing early that day:
My oldest son and I had planned to go back to the lodge at 4 o'clock. And my youngest son said right out of the blue, "Ah, I think I'll go back in too." He wasn't tired, but for some reason he came back with us. This other fellow was waffling about whether to come in with us, and he suddenly decided to go make this last run. And he was killed.
We'd just walked into the lodge when Jocelyn radioed that they were in an avalanche. She wears a collar microphone all the time. As she was being tumbled, she was broadcasting back to the center, "Class A emergency! Avalanche!" They came running out of the office and said, "Get your skis, get your boots, we need you on the slope." Myself and my friend Dr. James Wickwire went out to see if we could resuscitate anyone.
There was one group that had just gone down the slope. The avalanche stopped about 20 yards from them. They started going up, doing a grid search. Others were lifted up by helicopter from the lodge and came down on skis.
The first body was near the surface, entangled in a tree. The rest were spread out from the top to the bottom of the slope, two to three feet under the snow. As soon as you've pinpointed the people with radio signals, you know you're directly over them. So you use hands, ski poles, shovels, anything to immediately remove snow from the face. That's the objective, to try to get it off the face, out of the mouth and off the chest so they can breathe if it's possible. Immediately we checked pupils and checked for pulse.
Bloomberg: We spent the next two hours recovering people. I think the saving grace is that nobody knew what hit them. The snow turned from powder to almost cement. It was very heavy. They were killed instantly. They were broken up either by the snow or by being taken through trees. I've talked with some of the families of the deceased. We wanted to assure them that the victims were happier than hell, were downright ecstatic right up to the moment the avalanche took place. They were having the best day of skiing in their lives. And they didn't suffer.
Allmendinger: We made attempts to do CPR and check for any signs of life, but these people were already dead. It appeared that they died from their injuries rather than suffocation. Most of them were crush injuries to the skeleton, multiple fractures, chests crushed and, I'm sure, necks broken—as you would expect, with somebody tumbling at high speed with that tremendous weight of snow throwing them against trees and rocks. It's hard to imagine the force of this thing. They described it as a 3.5 on a scale of 4, and a 4 avalanche will take out a steam locomotive like it's a toy. It was just monstrous.
Dowson: I searched for two hours and helped locate two bodies. Back at the lodge they told me my husband's body had been found. [His cousin was also killed.] I guess I knew he was dead but I'd been shutting it out of my mind.
Bloomberg: I had nightmares the first couple of days. Had it not been for my friend calling out for me to stop. I probably would have joined the others. So I was five seconds away. Fifty feet. I don't know If I'll helicopter-ski again. I don't think there's anything they could have done differently. I view the accident as a fluke.
Allmendinger: The next day we decided to leave. About half the people stayed and continued skiing. I think it was their way of handling the grief, to try and go out on the mountains again.
Dowson: My sons and I will ski again. My husband would have wanted it that way. He taught us. It's his legacy to us. It's something we loved doing together. In the same week 10 people died in a terrible road accident in England. It's better to go when you're having a wonderful time and you're happy.

Osteogenesis imperfecta type 2
Osteogenesis imperfecta type II is a lethal type of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI; see this term), a genetic disorder characterized by increased bone fragility, low bone mass and susceptibility to bone fractures. Patients with type II present multiple rib and long bone fractures at birth, marked deformities, broad long bones, low density on skull X-rays, and dark sclera.
The overall prevalence of OI is estimated at between 1/10,000 and 1/20,000 but the prevalence of type II is unknown.
There are three subtypes of OI type II (A, B and C) that are characterized by different radiological features. Patients with OI type IIA present with broad ribs with multiple fractures, continuous beaded ribs and severe undermodeling of the femur, OI type IIB presents with normal or thin ribs with some fractures, discontinuous beaded ribs and some undermodeling of the femur, and OI type IIC presents with varying thickness of the ribs, discontinuous beading of the ribs, malformed scapulae and ischiae, and slender and twisted long bones. Type IIC is extremely rare and its existence is even doubted.
OI type IIA is caused by mutations of the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes (17q21.31-q22 and 7q22.1 respectively) and transmission is autosomal dominant. Type IIB can be autosomal dominant and also caused by mutations of the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes (17q21.31-q22 and 7q22.1 respectively) or it can be autosomal recessive and caused by mutations in the CRTAP gene (3p22) (sometimes described as OI type VII) or the LEPRE1 gene (1p34) (sometimes described as OI type VIII) or the PPIB gene (15q21-q22) (sometimes described as OI type IX).

TV Ratings: 'Grey's Anatomy' crossover helps ABC split Thursday
Fast National ratings for Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009.

SPRING MILLS - The Indoor Championship Football League West Virginia Ducks and the Martinsburg Steel City Mafia, part of a national Pittsburgh Steelers fan club group, are tackling a major issue with their event held at Ambitionz Night Club Sunday afternoon.
The two organizations began taking a stand on bullying with a Ray Seals autograph session and meet and greet with Ducks players and owners.
"We wanted to do something to kick off the Ducks season that begins Saturday as well as combat bullying," said Scott Brown of the Martinsburg Steel City Mafia. "What better way is there than to have a former Steeler in Ray Seals come in and have this session? It's just great being around these athletes and being a part of something like this."

Former Pittsburgh Steeler Ray Seals signs an autograph for Rocco Santore during an anti-bullying event Sunday sponsored by the West Virginia Ducks of the Indoor Championship Football League and the Martinsburg Steel City Mafia, a local branch of a national Pittsburgh Steelers fan club.
Seals, whose most famous play in his 10-year career came in 1992 as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer when he batted away Brett Favre's first completion, which resulted in a reception by Favre, relates to the Ducks because of his semi-pro background.
"I was a semi-pro player for the Syracuse, N.Y., Express during the 1987 strike and waited until after that was over to try for an NFL contract," Seals said. "When I played, our pay was a hamburger, and that was only if the concession stand was not sold out of them after the game."
"Ray telling his story of his background show the players that they can make it to the highest level," said Lucas Taylor, West Virginia Ducks co-owner. "Ray came from the same background as us trying to make it to the next level, and his advice can motivate us to do our best this season."
Seals also relates to the cause of anti-bullying and awareness for bullying because of what his son has gone through in school.
"My 6-year-old son has came home from school and said he was bullied," Seals said. "That shocked me to find out about that, and it has been hard to tell him what he should do without getting him in trouble at school. Bullying goes on, and it is something that needs to be addressed."
Taylor, a former wide receiver for the Moorefield Yellow Jackets, is more concerned about the support for victims of bullying to get the help they need and getting people to become more aware of what bullying is, among other things.
"Bullying is everywhere, and what I have a problem with is that people who are being bullied are not getting the advice they need," Taylor said. "Seeing people overcome the obstacles is what counts to me, and with this, I want the Ducks to take a stand and be aware of things such as bullying and autism."
Overall, the Martinsburg Steel City Mafia and the West Virginia Ducks are all about impacting the youth of the community.
"It's all about being a family with the games and entertainment," Brown said. "With sports, we can see the message get across to the kids, and we are trying to be more aware and have the thought for these kids to be most important."

When faced with conundrums large or small, editors Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway always asked themselves how the ever-decorous Mrs. Kennedy Onassis might have behaved. Now, after research and interviews with her friends for their new book, they actually have some idea:
• WOULD JACKIE … EMULATE CELEB FASHION? "No!" says Branch. " She wouldn't be interchangeable."
• CARRY AN IPOD? "I asked her friend Carly Simon that—she thought no. They're very fussy, and she didn't necessarily have the patience [to deal with one]. "
• GET A BRAZILIAN WAX? "Certainly not. She was fastidious, but she didn't believe body rituals should be subject to trends."
• SNEAK FOOD INTO THE MOVIES? "She brought entire picnic baskets."
•CRY AT SENATE HEARINGS, LIKE MRS. ALITO? "Never."

The Pending Home Sales Index declined for the fourth straight month, down 5.6% to 101.6 for September, according to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report released today.
After dropping 1.6% for August, September's index had been expected to stay at the same level. Current pending home sales are at their lowest point since December 2012, and are down 1.2% in the past 12 months.
The index is based on contract signings (with sales usually finalized one or two months later) and is benchmarked to 2001 contract activity. An index of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity during 2001, which was the first year the association examined data.
NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun noted that the then-looming threat of a government shutdown may have influenced September's results. "Declining housing affordability conditions are likely responsible for the bulk of reduced contract activity," Yun said in a statement today. "In addition, government and contract workers were on the sidelines with growing insecurity over lawmakers' inability to agree on a budget. A broader hit on consumer confidence from general uncertainty also curbs major expenditures such as home purchases."
Looking ahead, the National Association of Realtors expects the median existing-home price to increase 11% to 11.5% for 2013 overall, boosted largely by consistent inventory shortages, while existing-home sales are expected to grow 10% for the year.

Allison Glass
Account Manager, INK Public Relations
Over the last year, Allison Glass' instincts, hard work and management and communication skills have led INK to new business wins, an expansion of current client contracts and pro bono successes.
On the new business front, she led two pitches from beginning to end, creating presentation decks, conducting research and presenting to the client.
Glass rallied the INK troops and created a pro bono campaign for Run for the Water, a 10-mile race put on by the Gazelle Foundation, with the aim of providing clean drinking water to the people of Burundi, Africa. Glass solidified this partnership by executing a social media campaign that more than tripled the Gazelle Foundation's online presence and led to the foundation surpassing its goal of registering 3,000+ runners (most of whom registered through online platforms). Glass also aided in the development of INK's start-up offering—a new branch of the agency focused on providing communication strategy for early-stage companies in the tech sector.
Tabbedout, a start-up mobile payment solution, began working with INK in May 2011, and within the last year under Glass' management, has received 223 unique media hits (including the Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, CNN and Entrepreneur) and has led this Austin-based start-up to be considered a major tech player in the mobile payments race.

Calgary Flames (13-16-6) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (26-10-1)
Root Sports, SNET-W- 1:00 pm/et
Consol Energy Center – Pittsburgh, PA
This is a 1pm game against the Calgary Flames on December 21st. Forgive us for the lack of effort in this Gameday post.
Hopefully the Pens put more effort in than we do.
Leading Scorers:
Penguins: Sidney Crosby (19G, 32A: 51P)
Flames: Jiri Hudler (9G, 21A: 30P)
Probable Starting Goaltenders:
Penguins: Marc-Andre Fleury (20-8-1, 2.00 GAA, .924 Sv%)
Flames: Karri Ramo (6-5-3, 2.70 GAA, .908 Sv%)
Last Games:
Penguins: Defeated Minnesota Wild 5-2.
Flames: Lost to Detroit Red Wings 3-2 [OT].
Opposition Blog: [Flames Nation]
What They're Saying: "Visualizing Corsi and the Flames"
As a fan, you'd hope that the coach plays his best players the most. But as we see here, that's not exactly happening. The defensive minutes are correctly distributed (although this chart suggests Butler and Smid still play way too much), but the forward minutes are not. Ideally, the top left should be a haven of orange (and, usually, red) with the blue being confined to the bottom right. Backlund has been getting more ice time lately, though, so perhaps the problem has been identified.
What Happened Last Time: October 8, 2011 – Pens won 5-3 [Our Recap]
Yeah. That awkward moment when no one at a blog has time to recap a west-coast Saturday night game. Sue us.
So, it seems that caring about the Flames is not our strong point. Is it really anyone's strong point?
Penguins Player(s) to Watch: Matt Niskanen and Olli Maatta again. Because we're really impressed.
Flames Player(s) to Watch: Jarome Iginla. Oh…. ummmm…. Miikka Kiprusoff? Oh. Well…. nevermind.
Gif that Seems Appropriate for Today's Game:
Pittsburgh Penguins lines from Daily Faceoff:
Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Pascal Dupuis
Harry Zolnierczyk – Jussi Jokinen – James Neal
Chris Conner – Brandon Sutter – Joe Vitale
Craig Adams – Zach Sill – Chuck Kobasew
Olli Maatta – Matt Niskanen
Brian Dumoulin – Robert Bortuzzo
Philip Samuelsson – Simon Despres
Marc-Andre Fleury
Calgary Flames lines from Daily Faceoff:
Curtis Glencross – Matt Stajan – Lee Stempniak
Paul Byron – Sean Monahan – Jiri Hudler
??? – Mikael Backlund – David Jones
Lance Bouma – Joe Colborne – Brian McGrattan
Ladislav Smid – Mark Giordano
Karri Ramo
We're pretty sure their third line winger is actually named "???"

WXXI Celebrates 50 Years!
By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Thu, 09/01/2016 - 11:26am
September marks the beginning of WXXI's 50th anniversary celebration. When I think about the men and women who had the foresight and the courage to fight the battles to bring public television to the Greater Rochester area, I think about their passion, commitment and vision. Channel 21 turned on its transmitter September 6, 1966 and there are still 165 people in the area who have been members of WXXI from day one! Our original members had a commitment to advancing education, to supporting quality arts and culture programming, and to helping our community grow.
In the last 50 years over 100,000 members have shared that passion, commitment and vision to public television. What's impossible to calculate are the number of people whose lives have been changed by the programming, outreach, and inspiration that WXXI has provided our community.
This month WXXI celebrates five decades of public television in Rochester. At the time, WXXI had its studios in the old East High School and it was only through the dedication of Harold Hacker and founding trustees that Channel 21 was able to come into existence. On that inaugural night of September 6, 1966 WXXI presented Julia Child showing viewers how chocolate mousse is made – and we commemorated that day in 1966 by airing the very same Julia Child program on September 6, 2016.
There's a lot to celebrate at WXXI, from our very special anniversary, to our Open House (on September 24), to the unmatched programming we present every day. And it's been you – you and the more than 100,000 other members – that has made it all possible. We thank you and I invite you to continue the journey with us over the next 50 years!

Crime fighters of the future will use drones to do their heavy lifting – if six highway patrol concept cars are anything to go by.
Design studios from major manufacturers sketched up six takes on police vehicles for 2025 ahead of the upcoming LA Auto Show.
BMW's impression of a police car for the future saw small drones launch from the car's body and report back to its driver with information.
One design team from Honda paired an unmanned motorcycle drone with a fairly conventional 4WD.
But its second spin on the design brief was much more eye-catching, and will be a hit with those who remember 1970s police drama CHiPs.
The three-wheeled Traffic Crawler concept was inspired by Kawasaki police special bikes used on the small screen, but would use hydrogen power in place of the old Kwaka's four-cylinder donk.
There would be no room for police on the Subaru Highway Automated Response Concept, a drone designed to rule the roads without human input.
SHARC has no room for drivers, and was tailored for a fantasy highway network linking Hawaiian Islands.
General Motors artists penned the Volt Squad – a group of electric machines that work together to fight crime. The Squad included a fun-looking hovercraft that could help bring down evil-doers across the globe.
Mercedes-Benz had the most conventional of the six designs put forward. The Ener-G-Force was a futuristic take on its classic G-wagen 4WD.

The veggies that show up in my diet most often (though not exactly on a daily basis) are onions, spinach (or other random greens), broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and carrots. Hopefully soon I'll have a big enough supply of Brussels sprouts to make them a regular item.
My only real "treat" is sweet potatoes.

2nd man in custody in Erie shooting
Erie police have accused a second man of attempted homicide in connection with the shooting of a 23-year-old victim on Dec. 20 in an apartment at East 27th and Parade streets.
Police said they took Dimas Colon, 32, of Erie, into custody Saturday night.
He was being held Sunday in Erie County Prison, where his name was listed as Dimas Colon-Cruz, on charges including attempted homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, burglary, robbery and possessing an instrument of crime.
"We've got two," Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said Sunday. "We're looking for a potential third."
Franklin said there is an ongoing investigation into a possible third suspect.
The first, Kendell C. Foster, 41, of Erie, was arraigned Dec. 24 on charges similar to Colon. Foster also was being held Sunday in the prison.
Colon was taken into custody Saturday at 11:15 p.m. in the 700 block of Perry Street, police said.
Details on his arrest weren't available and Franklin declined to specify what role Colon might have played in the shooting.
The male victim, whose identity isn't being released by police, was still in critical condition at UPMC Hamot, the chief said.
The shooting occurred Dec. 20 at about 11:35 p.m. during a home invasion in which police said three people kicked in the door of a second-floor apartment at 2630 Parade St.
Police said the victim was shot multiple times and suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
Two other people were inside the apartment and were not injured, police said.
Foster suffered a gunshot wound in his right leg, police have said.
He was treated for the wound in Mercer County before being brought back to Erie.
Investigators have not commented on a possible motive in the shooting.

Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
My husband and I just recently separated, and he kicked me out, but he has no job, and just lost his license. He refuses to move out so I can sublease the apartment. I need to know what can I do to make him move out so I can move on with my life with no ties with him?

If your husband is on the lease, he likely will have the right to remain in the unit
until the lease expires.
