Wellsville gets another reminder of the plague of drug abuse
June 28, 2013
WELLSVILLE — On the eve of a community march against suspected drug abuse in the village, another example of the need for action presented itself, in the form of a drug overdose victim found in......
The people that are obviously associated with this "disease" comprise 95% or more of those shooting up. Most start on prescription pain meds and become addicted. They then figure out that shooting up is cheaper than buying the prescription meds on the street. STofit is correct...If they don't want help then you can't help them.

Taxpayers are already for them to be in prison so why not try to actually rehabilitate them? Imprisonment is a waste of money when there is no rehabilitation put in place. I understand they also have to want it. A lot of them do but have no access to help. Unless your life has been affected by this disese, you cannot comprehend what it entails. Anyone can have this disease - doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, police officers - not just the people you are obviously associating the disease with. And it is a disease, look it up.

The taxpayers didn't hold a gun to these folks head and force them to take these drugs, but they expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab when they overdose. Rehabilitation does not work unless the person using these drugs wants to get clean. Forced rehabilitation is a waste of tax dollars. A year or two on a chain gang works to rehabilitate some people in the south. Addiction is not a disease. You get a disease from germs. As far as doing something about this crime will someone please tell me what a "March" accomplishes? Turn these folks in and you will see things happen. You can "march" until you run out of breath.

If you really want to take action in reducing drug abuse, then what needs to happen is rehabilitation. Jail/Prison does nothing to address the disease of addiction. If you don't give people the resources, the knowledge, the support to overcome their addiction, then the disease continues. We need more rehab centers and there is a need for lock-down rehabilitation for people who have committed a crime against another person. But until the laws change and law makers decide to learn about the disease and what it takes to reduce this epidemic, the "plague" will continue.

It seems now Audi and Mercedes models are also coming with this unique transmission.
Dual-clutch transmissions are actually two automated manual transmissions, each with its own clutch (but no clutch pedal for the driver to operate). The advantages of a dual-clutch transmission are that they can provide faster, smoother gear changes, and better fuel economy and performance compared to conventional automatics. That, at least, is what manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Porsche, Ford and others say their DCTs will deliver.
How they work is that one transmission contains the odd-numbered gears (1, 3, 5) and the other has the even-numbered gears. While one transmission is shifting into 3rd gear, for example, the other is already engaging 4th gear, so shifts are supposed to be quicker and less noticeable.
In practice, however, DCTs don't always deliver on that promise.
For example, the Ford Fiesta's dual-clutch transmission proved jerky and slow to react to the throttle in our test, which you can read here. In our review of a VW Golf TDI, the six-speed dual-clutch transmission hurried into the higher gears but was leisurely about downshifting.
Are they really better? We sure didn't find them a clear leap ahead of conventional automatics in the two cases cited above. In some cars, they are smooth and responsive, but in others not so much.
Our advice is to try before you buy to see whether a DCT will suit your driving style. Don't be intimidated by the salesperson sitting next to you on the test drive. Slow down and speed up several times to get a good feel for transmission behavior. You should floor the throttle a few times from low speeds and at higher speeds to see how the transmission reacts as well as seeing how it behaves with a light throttle foot.

Let's call this a Tale of the Little Supermarket Chain That Couldn't, and then Could — thanks to federal regulators and a thing called competition.
McCaffrey's Supermarkets, a three-store operation founded 26 years ago in Bucks County by a South Philadelphia native named James J. McCaffrey III, took a shot at acquiring two Genuardi's Family Markets earlier this year when owner Safeway Inc. said it was selling the popular chain with 27 locations across the region.
McCaffrey, 60, was in talks to buy a Genuardi's in Newtown and one in Doylestown when, with little warning, talks ended. Bigger suitors, clearly, had come along, leaving little McCaffrey's in the deal Dumpster.

buy, merge and split. IMHO
Sentiment: Hold
Neither has the capital to swallow the other. Maybe a gradual buy up of one over the other.
Sentiment: Buy
if vz wants it, they will go after the rest of the 45%
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not having the Capitol has never stopped vz before.
i have no clue as to which , if either , of the company's have a lot to gain from one buying the other ... i have to imagine that a merger is out of the question , sooooooooo what of it ?

In this study of the outcome of psychotherapy, these questions are being asked: Does the patient who has had psychotherapy agree with his therapist on the success of the experience? Is there disagreement, and what is the nature of this disagreement? What factors seem important for the "successfully treated" patient, and what factors may be responsible for the failure of the "unsuccessful" patient?
Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis as therapeutic procedures have recently been scrutinized closely in an effort to determine what contributes to various degrees of effectiveness.1-15 With few exceptions, these investigations have focused on the theory and technique of therapy, the therapists' attitudes, and the patients undergoing treatment. Follow-up data obtained from former patients through interviews or questionnaires have been mainly utilized to determine the prognosis of various disorders,16-28 their spontaneous rate of recovery,29-35 or the outcome of various forms

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Consumer's Food & Drug here is converting its video rental departments from live inventory to a service-counter approach to improve foot traffic, said Jay Larson, director of general merchandise. The company has a total of eight video departments and two are now in the new configuration. One was converted late last year, while the other opened in a new store earlier this month, said Larson. A schedule for converting the other stores is being put together, he said. ...

A five-year plan designed to further incorporate computer technology into the curriculum of Lower Merion schools will cost the district more than $1.7 million over the next five years.
The District Technology Committee presented the plan with the aid of a Macintosh computer projected onto an overhead screen at a school board meeting Monday night.
"We are not looking to teach the students technology," said William Dolton, a math teacher and committee member, "but to incorporate technology into the achievement of curriculum goals."

Tumors shed cells into the blood of patients with cancer, but researchers have long sought a reliable way to detect these rare cells.
Now, however, investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston report successful tests with a unique microchip-based device that can efficiently and selectively separate circulating tumor cells from peripheral blood samples (Nagrath S et al. Nature. 2007;450[7173]:1235-1239).

Protect your Home & Auto from Smoke Odors
There are several sources of lingering smoke odor problems. Cigarette and cigar smoke can cause offensive odor problem in homes, automobiles and clothing. Furthermore, smoke odors from electrical, chemical, fuel and kitchen fires could be very pungent and render homes unusable. Another common source of smoke odors are chimneys especially during periods of warm or humid weather.
The Smelleze® Smoke Deodorizer Pouch was made to eliminate all smoke odors on contact without masking them with fragrances. This product is suitable for use in homes, fireplace ash beds and automobiles.
For a breath of fresh air, simply place the reusable Smelleze® pouches near odors or on return air ducts and smell the difference. To rejuvenate periodically, simply heat in a microwave 3-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. Smelleze® can work for years so it is very cost effective.
Smelleze® is non-toxic, safe, reusable recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. Smelleze® is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating lingering smoke odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of Smelleze® odor control media.
Smoke Odor Problems
There are several sources of smoke odor problems. Cigarette smoke often causes an offensive odor problem in homes and automobiles. Another common source of smoke odors are chimneys especially during periods of warm or humid weather. Furthermore, smoke odors from electrical, chemical, fuel, and kitchen fires could be very pungent and render homes unusable. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Unpleasant smoke odors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe and could increase in concentration over time if left untreated. Covering up nasty smoke odors with masking agents like perfumes pollute the air with chemicals and often times result in even more offensive smells.
The Solution
The Smelleze® Smoke Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate smoke odors on contact. Smelleze® will truly cleanse the air of offensive odors, complement existing ventilation systems and result in a fresh smelling environment. This will help create a healthy, chemical free atmosphere that will certainly be appreciated by the whole family.
It's No Cover-up
The Smelleze® Smoke Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate unpleasant smoke odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze® is negatively charged whereas odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze® draws in smoke odors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of smoke odors and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze® Smoke Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, non-caustic, and recyclable. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating smoke odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. Smelleze® does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
Smelleze® can be effectively used to eliminate unpleasant smoke odors from cigarettes, chimneys, and fires in any home. Typical applications include:
- Cigarette Smoke In Any Part Of The Home
- Cigarette Smoke In Automobiles
- Chimney And Fireplace Odors
- Kitchen, Fuel, Chemical, and Electrical Fire Odors
- Exhaust Fumes In Garages
- Any Other Area With Smoke Odor Problems
For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze® pouches in the area to be treated, and smell the difference. Use one or more recommended size pouches per area treated. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. empty ashtrays) and clean the area prior to treating with Smelleze® . For extra effectiveness, use this product in conjunction with Smelleze® Ashtray Deodorizer Granules and Smelleze® Carpet Deodorizer Granules.

The Summer Reading Club at your library is here! Sign up online or in person, read whatever you want, and earn great prizes!
Why read this summer? I'm glad you asked. Reading helps to fight boredom and keeps your brain active while school is out. Reading offers chances to escape, journeys to travel, and mysteries to solve.
Reading is also tremendously important when time travelling. Don't believe me? Check out our special public service announcement that shows just what can happen. It stars our beloved TARDIS as well as a few other curious characters. The video is below.
Our Summer Reading theme for teens is Spark a Reaction, and it runs all the way until August 31. You can let us know what you're reading on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #crrlsummerlove. Sign up and be sure to keep an eye out for the TARDIS as it travels around our libraries.
It won't come as much of a shock to anyone in the Fredericksburg area since our last Blockbuster was closed years ago, but Blockbuster is now closing all remaining stores. The age of video rental as a for-profit business is officially over. It would seem to affect the library very little. After all, we still provide DVDs to our customers, don't we? And, yes, we will continue to add new DVDs, but the decline of Blockbuster and video rental as a business does have an impact because it changes the very nature of the product Hollywood puts out.
Check out the trailer for the movie version of "Eat, Pray, Love," in theaters this summer. If you haven't read "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert yet, you can put it on hold here. It's the story of "a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure, guidance, experience and wholeness" (book description).
If there's one series that I can count on my kids to read again and again, it's the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books by Jeff Kinney. My 11 and 9 year-old have both re-read each book multiple times, laughing along at Greg Heffley's antics. For anyone who has not yet picked up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book (and there are now four in the series, with a fifth one due out sometime this year), here's a trailer to tell you a little more about them. You can also check out the series' Web site at http://www.wimpykid.com/. There's even a movie coming out on March 19th.
Last month I blogged about Leviathan, an awesome new book by Scott Westerfeld in the steampunk tradition. The trailer below illustrates the Leviathan plot and setting. For fans of the first book - you'll be thrilled to hear that the second book in the series is called Behemoth and will be published in October 2010.
Experience a minute in the Forest of Hands and Teeth:
Heart pounding yet? The Forest of Hands and Teeth, a novel by Carrie Ryan, is about a young woman named Mary and her life in her village. Sounds bucolic, doesn't it? Until you learn that the village is guarded by a high fence, which is surrounded by hordes of mindless, flesh-eating zombies called the Unconsecrated. Mary can hear their moaning all day and night, and she doesn't dare get too close to the fence, for the infection that turns you into an Unconsecrated is passed by a single bite.
Five Scenes from David Small's "Stitches" from Stitches: A Memoir... on Vimeo.
As if David Small's graphic autobiography Stitches:--A Memoir wasn't powerful enough on its own, five scenes have been turned into eleven minutes of heart-wrenching video. If you've read the novel, is it worth it? Absolutely. Hearing 'mama's little cough," slamming of cupboards and moving her "fork a half inch to the right" further enhances the viewers understanding of David Small's traumatic, childhood home. If you haven't read this book, which was nominated for the 2009 Young People's Literature Award by the National Book Foundation, place a hold today! It's worth enjoying in all formats!

 Sounds good to me. Bet if we held it at the library, we could get a decent crowd. I've never bothered with crypto, because I don't think my emails, etc are that interesting to the government. That being said, it does bug me that they are collecting the "metadata" on who I call, how long I"m on the phone, etc. Makes me wonder if maybe it's not time to start using some sort of telephone encryption, just in case they decide to start listening either with or without permission from a FISA court! I mean, if they decide to start investigating journalists, it can't be long until they start investigating the average citizen!

Great from Baldj, Skating's still a bit empty and unrefined
But between the good quad and 2 3axle's he racked a ton of tech points,
Good news after the poor showing from Canada in the SP
Could find himself leading into the next group
Nice start to the FS by Balde.
What, no annoying suspenders today? :P
I like Balde's FP.
I always like music & choreo performed be Yuka's pupils
Too bad about that triple sal instead of the quad.
How many kids does Morozov have anyway?
Anyone have 'Live results' link for FS? Can't find it.
Hope this helps
Oh. Thank you very much!
Do you guys think Kovtun have a chence for the top 5 finish?

What advice would you give someone starting this project? We used an old metal pole and stuck it in a hole in our patio. The hole is actually for an umbrella. You can pound the pole in your yard about 2 feet deep. The plastic pots already had a hole in the bottom. We placed a coffee filter in the bottom of each pot and "strung" them on to the pole, biggest pot first. Then we filled with dirt and flowers!
Love this project! Will do this ASAP.
Very clever. Original too.
So cool im defiantly going to try it if i can just find a pole!
I really like this Idea with the pots for thanksgiving my Daughter and I did the same thing but used the pumpkin heads with the smile. turned out so cute

What Brian Cowen was reading in the Connemara rain
A Summer reading list of 38 books was circulated to all 195 Tory MPs in Britain as they set off on their holidays (see below). Meanwhile we are told that Brian Cowen's holiday reading in Connemara* in the rain was the autobiography of John Hume, entitled The New Ireland and a collection of essays by the poet and philosopher John O'Donohue, who died last January.

A man and his young daughter are lucky to be alive after they narrowly escaped a car fire on a busy highway.
The car's owner, Eric Puls, said he heard a pop while driving on Route 222 in Wyomissing on Friday afternoon.
"I didn't realize, at the time, what was happening," Puls said. "I figured that it was just overheating."
It turned out that Puls' stepson was driving alongside in another car and quickly signaled that there was trouble.
"My stepson saw it in the rear view mirror, waiving me over, and then at that point, before I even got over, I saw flames in the front of the car," said Puls, who quickly pulled onto the shoulder of the road.
But Puls said he was not thinking about the flames, but his 7-year-old daughter in the back seat.
"Quickly got out, got my daughter out of the back seat, and ran down about a 100 to 200 yards," Puls said.
Flames soon ripped through the rest of the car.
It also turned out that a few other drivers just so happened to have fire extinguishers, and they managed to keep the flames down until the first firefighters arrived.
Puls, of Shillington, just had his car serviced Friday, and he was on his way to FirstEnergy Stadium to pick up his son, who he has not seen in a year.

"We've got the whole world in our hands. We've got the whole world in our hands. We've got the whole world in our hands. We've got the whole world in our hands." Earth day is this coming Monday – April 22nd, and I've got a fabulous craft to do with your kiddos. This craft is a good reminder for kids that we are the ones who are responsible for the planet and we need to treat it with love and respect. Everybody can help makes changes. This craft was really fun and the end result is pretty cute! Kirsten helped me make these last night and the kids have been playing with them for most of this afternoon. Want to make one – here's what you'll need:
What you'll need:
foam craft ball – any size will work – mine were 4 inch
green tissue paper
blue tissue paper
pink or red tissue paper
white kids glue
paint brush
black sharpie
1. Cut your green and blue tissue paper into 1-inch squares. You will need several of these to cover 1 ball, so cut quite a bit.
2. Cut your red or pink tissue paper into small hearts. You'll only need a few of these – I used 3 per ball.
3. Pour some white blue in a bowl and grab your paint brush. Start painting glue all over your foam ball. As you add glue to the ball, press blue tissue paper squares on the glue. Continue this until the entire ball is covered in blue tissue paper squares. Brush the entire thing with a thin layer of glue to seal the tissue paper squares onto the ball.
4. Now we're going to add some green squares for land. Put some glue over the blue tissue paper in areas where you want to add land. Put your green tissue paper squares over the glue. When finished, brush all the green squares with a thin layer of glue to seal them.
5. Grab a pink or red heart and place a dab of glue on your earth where you want the heart. Stick on the heart. I repeated this 3 times (placed the hearts on top of eachother) to make it stand out more. When finished, brush a thin layer of glue over the heart.
6. Place your earth on top of a cup or a plastic bottle cap and allow to fully dry. Mine took at least overnight. Once dry, carefully remove your earth from the stand (cup or bottle cap).
7. Grab your black sharpie and draw a sweet little face on your earth. Kirsten even added eyelashes to hers – pretty!

NASA's new Maven Spacecraft is heading to Mars.
The spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canaveral, and the trip will take about 10 months to complete.
Scientists will use the information gathered from the Maven Spacecraft as it orbits the planet to study its atmosphere.
Scientists want to research why the climate on Mars has changed from wet and warm to dry and cold.
The mission to Mars will cost about $671 million.

State Sen. David Rouzer, left, and Rep. Jimmy Dixon listen as Rep. Stephen LaRoque responds to a question asked Wednesday at Meadow Lane Elementary School by members of the district's Principals and Assistant Principals Association. The organization invited the legislators to come to the school for a question-and-answer session on education issues.
Angela Joyner has dedicated 20 years to the teaching profession. But these days, she finds herself worried -- about retirement, health costs, lack of planning time in the classroom. "We have teachers who come to school at 7 o'clock...

I know the normal way to work up a load is to go to a manual, look up the caliber and then look at which powders you might use. What I'm looking for is the opposite. I'm looking for a list of powders and what calibers they are good for. Does one exist?

Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough won Dancing With the Stars with their flawless technique and sizzling chemistry – but is there any fancy footwork happening off the dance floor?
The two-time Olympic medalist – who turned 25 on Tuesday, the same day he won the disco-ball trophy on Dancing – poses the question himself for PEOPLE.com's camera, asking Hough in his best TV interviewer's voice, "Is there a relationship between you and Apolo Ohno?" (You'll have to watch the video to find out!)
The pair also dish on their new-found fame ("Aren't you that dancer guy from that one show?"), competitors Joey Fatone ("Joey's crazy") and Laila Ali ("She's really down to earth ... a lot of fun, though") and what Ohno plans to do with that disco ball trophy. Hint: Appropriately enough, it involves music.

The 52 chapters written by 77 authors in this 1000-page volume constitute a serious, in-depth study of essentially every aspect of surgical diseases of the stomach, duodenum, and small intestine. Coverage of gross microscopic and subcellular anatomy, physiology, and pathology have almost as much space coverage as does the operative management. This makes the book valuable as a reference for both gastroenterologists and surgeons.
The editors, being the immediate past and current chairmen of surgery at Vanderbilt Medical School, Nashville, Tenn, use their credentials and contacts wisely in choosing international experts as chapter authors in both basic science and clinical fields. They wisely give such high-strung thoroughbreds a loose editorial rein, simply keeping them within the page allocation fitting to the subject.

Let's Treat Children At The Border As Christ Would
The Obama Strategy Of Complicated Immigration Border Flow
Obama: GOP Failed To Pass A 'Darn' Immigration Bill
Obama: I Will Fight for Immigration Reform Alone Since House Republicans Refuse To Vote
Immigration Reform Leaders of Today Must Follow Past Examples
In 1910 my great-grandmother, Gelsamine Ferrigno, arrived at Ellis Island — a teen bride with her husband and two children desperate to make a better life. The story that has been passed down, confirmed by relatives both here and in Italy, is that the family decided that Gelsamine and Albert were the most likely to succeed so they pooled their resources, put them on a boat to America, said their goodbyes and told them to get work, make money, and send it back to their needy family in Solerno, Italy.
I often think about the elements of what I know of my story: immigrants from Italy, teenagers bearing a family burden, pressure to learn language and culture, permanent goodbyes to everything they ever knew, loneliness, fear.
There are two main reasons I often reminisce on this story in my family history. First, I am eagerly working to support reform to our immigration laws for the immigrants of today.
Our immigration laws are broken and are in dire need of some attention. Families are being separated, a permanent underclass is being kept in the shadows, and our country continues to thrive on the adage "we want your work, we just don't want you." It is not just. It is not biblical, and there is no reason for politicians to willfully put politics before the needs of vulnerable people in our communities.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Nexus Academy of Grand Rapids, the new blended learning charter high school launched this school year, will graduate its first class of three seniors Friday, June 14.
Besides Grand Rapids, Connections Education, a leader in online learning, opened college prep curriculum schools in Lansing, Cleveland, Toledo, and Columbus. New schools are planned for Royal Oak and Indianapolis this fall.
Officials with Connections expected to graduate around two dozens students from all the Nexus programs. The Grand Rapids graduation is at Meijer Botanical Garden.
All three Grand Rapids graduates have been accepted to four-year colleges and together earned scholarships totaling $134,000. The students plan to attend Michigan-based Kalamazoo College, Calvin College, and Grand Valley State University, according to a press release. The graduates names were not released.
The tuition-free public school combines virtual learning with face-to-face education. School leaders say its small class sizes deliver a more personalized learning environment. Fifty students were enrolled in the school this year.
Related: 'Blended learning' charter high school impresses one Grand Rapids lawmaker, another raises concerns
The school expects to have a population this fall closer to the initial projections of 250 to 300 students. All the Nexus programs launched saw lower than expected enrollment numbers.
Mickey Revenaugh, vice president of Connections Learning, the new division created to provide online/blended learning services, said in May that introducing a new type of school takes a little while to grow but expected enrollment to increase program-wide.
Families and students seeking more information can visit Nexus Academy's website or call 616-458-4992.

The Florence Volunteer Fire Department Board of Trustees has launched an investigation into allegations of mismanagement and possibly criminal actions by past and present employees including current Fire Chief Charlie Lambson.
Accusations of mismanagement and possible criminal activity have surfaced and resurfaced at the department over the last few years. The most recent complaints led the board to hire a private attorney, Kim Christopherson, and a company called Maverick Management Solutions to look into the allegations.
At a meeting held last week, Board Chairman Keith O'Brien said that he had received a report from the investigator and that the board would be discussing it in a closed meeting. A few people in attendance, including Fire Chief Charlie Lambson and a reporter from the Bitterroot Star, protested the closure of the meeting. After some discussion it was decided not to go into closed session to consider the report. Instead, the meeting was simply cancelled.
Asked what allegations were being investigated, O'Brien said the same allegations that were recently made public in an e-mail that was disseminated to the press.
In that e-mail, Jason Sorlien claims that the Florence Fire Department "is plagued by frequent immoral, unethical, and illegal activity." He states that the problems have been ongoing for years but worsened under current Fire Chief Charlie Lambson's leadership. He claims Lambson is being protected by relatives and friends on the board.
In what he calls a partial list, Sorlien lists several general accusations including "witness tampering, criminal negligence, falsification of public documents and records, bullying, sexual misconduct/harassment, unethical use of funds, defamation/slander, retaliation, discrimination, putting department members' lives at risk, misconduct and law violations on medical calls/scenes, and frequent use of extreme vulgar language."
Lambson claims there is no truth to any of the allegations.
"In my opinion I have done nothing wrong," said Lambson. He also said that he has nothing to hide and would like any discussion of any accusations against him to be done in public.
"Right now I don't know what accusations they are really investigating nor any of their findings," said Lambson. He said it was not fair to be victimized by the kind of anonymous allegations about activity at the department that have surfaced and resurfaced for years without any evidence ever being presented.
"Accusations like this can be damaging," said Lambson, "but what I want is for the truth to come out. I have nothing to hide and the truth is the truth."
Board Chairman O'Brien said that the investigation was instituted following a grievance that was registered with the board and is currently in the process of being addressed. He said the board had privacy concerns to consider but the report was going to be turned over to an attorney representing the grieving parties on Friday, March 14 and that the Board had scheduled a meeting for Monday, March 17 to consider the report.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." – Martin Luther King Jr.
I was a child in the '60s. I lived on a quiet street in small-town Mississippi. We knew our neighbors; our neighbors knew us. We played outside on sultry summer nights until our parents, who feared not for our safety, called us to supper.
But even in my beloved hometown among those people I knew, there were pockets of darkness I learned to fear.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
– Martin Luther King Jr.
In a small store just off Poplar Street, my friend Betsy and I spent much time and a fair amount of money, especially during the summer.
The proprietor could have been anyone's grandmother and her kindness, we assumed, reached out to all. One single bare bulb hung from the ceiling, offering only scant light.
A bright red metal icebox filled with Coca-Colas and other soft drinks rested just under the bulb.
We were offered free rein behind the counter where candy and bubblegum waited.
One afternoon I mentioned that a friend of my family – "a very nice lady" – lived a few houses behind the store.
Suddenly the store owner reached out and whacked me, hard, on my upper arm. "Don't you ever call a black person a lady." Except she didn't say black person. She said a word my parents didn't allow in our house.
I pedaled my bicycle home that day and never went back. Nor did I tell anyone about what had happened. Not for years.
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."
– Martin Luther King Jr.
Around the corner from our house was a dry cleaners. They also sold ice-cold bottled "co-colas" and foot-long sticks of cinnamon bubblegum. If you were conservative in your chewing, the stick could last all day.
Often, we'd drop in, plop our coins on the counter and order a cold one.
One afternoon I walked in just about closing time. No one was behind the counter, but I heard noises coming from out back.
I glanced through the open door and saw the owner beating with a broom handle an old black man who worked there. As he continued to lift the stick into the air, he muttered the word "hate" several times.
The owner's wife saw me and said, "Sometimes you just have to beat a …" Again, she used a word not allowed in my family's house.
I ran home as fast as I could.
"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
– Martin Luther King Jr.
Even now, we have a long way to go if we are to realize the dream of a man who would have celebrated his 82nd birthday yesterday had he not been assassinated in 1968.
We should still dream of a day we will be judged by the content of our character, rather than our skin colors, our nationalities, our political persuasions, our religious beliefs, our sexual orientations.
Now seems a good time to make a commitment to continue working to make that dream a reality.
A tall order that. But we are called to no less.

Publix to offer digital coupons
Digital system won't replace paper coupons
Publix Supermarkets is about to take a huge leap into the world of digital couponing.
The grocery giant is launching an online system this week that lets shoppers browse hundreds of relatively higher-value coupons online, virtually clip them out, and redeem the discounts automatically at the checkout lane.
The Tampa Tribune reports that the digital system is not a replacement for the paper coupons.
Publix started testing its online system at a few locations in Florida last year, and is training store employees to turn the system on this week in parts of Tampa Bay.
The remainder of the stores in central Florida will be on the program in the next few weeks, and all 1,000-plus Florida stores will be live March 8.
To use the new system, shoppers sign up online at publix.com/coupon/Home.do

Roasted Lemonade
Serves 12
Serve alone as lemonade or as part of a Martini bar ensemble.
14 lemons
½ vanilla bean
½ cup, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ cup granulated sugar (add more to taste)
4-6 cups water
Demerara sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll the lemons under the palm of your hand to loosen the juice from the skin. Cut the lemons in half and place in a roasting pan. Sprinkle 2/3 cup of sugar over the lemons and add enough water to almost cover the lemons. Add the vanilla bean to the water.
Roast for about 1 hour, until the edges of the lemons start to caramelize. Remove and cool to room temperature. Squeeze the lemons through a strainer into the bowl of a food processor. Scrape the vanilla bean into the water and pour the liquid, again through the strainer, into the same bowl. Roughly seed and cut up 2 lemons and add them to the food processor. Process until smooth. To use as martini mix, stop here and skip to recipe below. To make lemonade, strain into a pitcher, add the lemon juice, then add sugar to taste along with 4+ cups of water to make desired strength of lemonade. Serve chilled over ice.

Awesome stage! Queen Rules! I can't wait to see you in Dallas! My dream has come true to see my favorite band in the whole wide world. Good luck, Brian, Roger, Spike, and the other guys! Love Queen! Ricardo-Dallas, TX
Seeing the Chicago show. Is there going to be an opening act?
lee verney
Queen used to inovate, but seemingly are now happy to copy others who have gone before.
The round screen is the same as Pink Floyd and also the Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon tour and the walkway has been used by everyone from Rolling Stones to Take That, so nothing new there either. Yes it's big and will no doubt look pretty when lit but it's a shame they have not come up with an original stage design.
Wow! If this is taste of what's to come this will be a spectacular tour! Queen has done this so many times before, always first class and outstanding. I think this tour will top them all! I'll be there in Chicago, Spreadingb the Queen/Bert Love 24/7! 4 more days!! :)
Harlem Calleja
Such a big influence on my musical style as a singer. You guys are true legends and I cannot wait to see you August 30! xx
So cool, and Jazz just happends to be one of my favorite Queen albums!
It reminds me Pink Floyd.
I am so excited for this!!! Seeing them in VEGAS will be the best night of my life!

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
On Tuesday, while people were still debating the merits of signing a high-priced backup for Andrew Luck, the Colts quietly picked up a veteran nose tackle, Aubrayo Franklin (6-1, 317 pounds, turns 33 in August), from the San Diego Chargers. A little over a week ago, U-T San Diego's Michael Gehlken was reporting that San Diego wanted to re-sign Franklin, calling him a "proven fit in the Chargers defense."
Franklin, however, nearing the end of his career, opted to play for a winning team and an old coach instead and signed a one-year $890,000 contract with the Colts. "Just the chance to get back with my former defensive coordinator, Greg Manusky," he said yesterday. "Plus these guys made the playoffs and I feel like they are a contender again."
San Diego fans and writers alike seem to have a favorable opinion of Franklin, including Bolt Beat's Ernie Padaon, who adamantly expressed that losing Franklin "sucks." He then went on to say:
Franklin was a big part of the run defense last season. He clogged up blockers and allowed the middle linebackers, Takeo Spikes and Donald Butler, to make plays in the run game. Franklin was a big part of the defense.
After four years each with the Ravens and 49ers, the Colts will be Franklin's third team in as many seasons. His year in New Orleans only proved he isn't a good fit in a 4-3. Franklin is a true 3-4 nose tackle who has built his career on stopping the run and holding off double teams in the middle to keep the linebackers free to make plays. Like many at his position, Franklin's stats have not been particularly flashy, as his main job is to be huge, be strong, and draw double teams.
Franklin made a respectable 20 tackles in twelve games with the Chargers last year but finished 2012 on IR because of a knee injury. Throughout his career, however – including his injury-shortened 2012 season, he has been a picture of durability. After being used sparingly in his first two years with the Ravens, Aubrayo Franklin has played 119 of 128 possible regular season games over the next eight years, or about 93% of the games in that span.
Franklin's best years in the NFL came under Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky in San Francisco. There, he started 59 of 62 games, compiled 115 tackles, 3 sacks, and an interception. It is no wonder the 10-year vet is so eager to play for his old coordinator again. "Yeah I mean we were real close in San Fran," Franklin said of Manusky. "We came in at the same time. It was his first defensive coordinator job and it was my first year up there so we grew together."
Three things we can deduce from this signing. First, this signing falls right in line with the Colts defensive free agent strategy: stop the run. Though the NFL is a passing league, for many years, the key to beating the Colts was simply to run, and run and run. It's difficult to defeat any team when your own offense can't get onto the field, and last year, they gave up just over 5 yards per carry.
Chuck Pagano does not want other teams to be able to dictate the game by running the ball. His philosophy, like that of his former team, is to be strong against the running game, force the opponent to be one-dimensional, then unleash a wild array of blitzes, coverages, and pass rushes on them.
Second, Ryan Grigson is not afraid to pull the trigger on a player coming off an injury. Recent signees Greg Toler, Gosder Cherilus, and LaRon Landry each have a recent injury history. At nearly 33 and coming off a knee problem, however minor, Franklin's impressive durability will be put to the test this year. If he passes, he can provide considerable value to the Colts this season. Should second year man Josh Chapman also be healthy this season, nose tackle could become apposition of strength in 2013 (and beyond, if Chapman works out).
Finally, the Colts are about full at the nose tackle spot, meaning Antonio "Mookie" Johnson, last year's starter is not likely to be re-signed. Franklin provides some great depth as an early down lineman, and many fans and experts believe Chapman will be the starter if he's finally healthy and ready to play. The Colts also still have Martin Tevaseu (6-2, 325) and Brandon McKinney (3-2, 345) on the roster, along with Ricky Jean Francois, who can also play NT from time to time.
Tevaseu worked his way into the rotation in 2012, partly because of injuries to other players while McKinney spent his season on IR. If the Colts do happen to bring in another NT, which would most likely be through the draft or as a UDFA, he would most likely be in competition with McKinney and possibly Tevaseu for a roster spot.
Overall, this is a smaller contract for an aging veteran. If he works out, even if it's just for this year, Ryan Grigson will come out looking like a genius for this and hopefully a few other free agent signings.

Are you an optimist or pessimist?
Do you know what is the difference between an optimistic person and one that is pessimistic?
I have recently heard someone saying that he is a pessimistic person, and therefore, has no expectations, and so, he never gets disappointed. Do you also think so?
I would like to clarify an important point about optimism. It is not an attitude of just believing everything would be all right, and doing nothing about. It is not just a state of belief.
Optimism means expecting success, a favorable outcome, and that things would turn well, but real and useful optimism should work together with being practical, and looking actively solutions, instead of waiting passively for things to happen.

Q: Two of my hamster's toes are red, and it appears that something is growing next to its nail. I think it's something other than another nail. It looks yellow and mauve near the nail, and it looks sore but it doesn't seem to be bothering him. Do you know what this is and how to cure my hamster of it?
A: This could be a number of things. First, you don't mention how old your hamster is or if he lives by himself. If he is an older hamster that lives by himself with no other animals in the house, my guess is that this is trauma with a secondary bacterial infection. This can happen when the hamster has a mishap in the exercise wheel and the wound subsequently becomes infected with bacteria. Also, in older hamsters we need to worry about both benign and malignant masses. All of these conditions can be diagnosed and possibly treated by your veterinarian.
In younger hamsters, or in colonies, I would consider skin infections to be more likely. These would include both parasitic, such as demodex, or fungal infections. Both of these conditions are easily diagnosed and treated by your veterinarian.

Da Kitchen is a state winner of the Restaurant Neighbor Awards, presented by the National Restaurant Association to recognize outstanding community service among the nation's restaurants, the Hawaii Restaurant Association has announced.
Da Kitchen has locations in Kahului and Kihei. Its owners are Mariah Brown and Les Tomita.
The other state winner is Papa John's Hawaii, with multiple locations on Oahu.
The National Restaurant Association, with the award's founding partner, American Express, created the Restaurant Neighbor Award 15 years ago to raise awareness about the restaurant industry's contributions in local communities across the country and to inspire other restaurants to do the same and even more.
NEW STORE. Awakening in Paradise, a bookstore, boutique and gallery, has opened near Longs Drugs in Kihei at 1215 S. Kihei Road next to Maui Brick Oven.
It is a sister store of Lotus Heart Books and Gifts in Haiku. The new store includes visionary art, colorful clothing, jewelry, crystals, music, incense and the art of Lavahna Taylor, "artist in residence" and will offer revolving exhibitions of other local artists.
The store also will offer classes, workshops, intuitive and tarot card readings, beginning meditation, aura photography, monthly psychic fairs and community events.
The store is the sixth created and operated by Judy Levy, a Reiki master and interdenominational minister, according to a news release.
WRITER WINS AWARDS. Local writer and University of Hawaii Maui College creative writing teacher Paul Wood recently won two writing awards.
He was part of a group that took first place in the Hawaii Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists' 2012 awards for the sports reporting category. His essay "Surfing the Stratosphere" was published in the October/November issue of Hana Hou magazine.
In May, the Hawaii Ecotourism Association named Wood "Travel Writer of the Year 2013."

Steve Jobs is unfashionable
Thank the stars for the preponderance of poorly dressed tech gawds. Well, poor in the eyes of those who schlep and shill fashion, but how much stock can you place in the opinion of people that don't live in a frayed, stained hoody or fly, fly black turtleneck?
Some people actually read GQ Magazine, I'm almost exclusively interested in the photos. However, if you were interested in straining your eyes, they've pulled together a bit of link bait entitled CTRL+ALT+DEL: The 15 Worst-Dressed Men Of Silicon Valley and our favorite fruit company's CEO features at the bottom of the list:
Apple releases an iPhone every 0.5 seconds. Steve Jobs never gets an upgrade. The Svengali's self-inflicted uniform (black turtleneck, dad jeans, Seinfeld kicks) rival Superman's in its homogeneity — a style blunder no AutoCorrect can fix.
OK then. At least they've got Mila Kunas in the same issue and you can get her, as well as the fashion drivel, in GQ for iPad — the app is free and individual issues sell for $1.99 each.

Objective: PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway aberrations occur in 40% to 80% of endometrial cancer. Prior studies suggest KRAS mutations are associated with resistance to mTOR inhibitors in solid tumors. The objective of this study was to determine if biomarker expression in the PI3K/mTOR pathway or KRAS mutations would predict response to therapy with everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor.
Methods: Specimens from a phase II study of everolimus in recurrent endometrioid endometrial cancer were utilized. The primary end point was clinical benefit rate (CBR: objective response and nonprogression at 20 weeks). Correlative studies evaluating PTEN expression and phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (pS6rp) status by immunohistochemistry and KRAS mutational analysis were performed.
Results: Six of 28 evaluable patients achieved prolonged stable disease (SD) at 20 weeks (CBR, 21%). Loss of PTEN expression did not predict CBR (P = 0.62) with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.13. Five (83%) of 6 patients with SD maintained PTEN expression. Neither pS6rp expression (P = 0.65) nor KRAS mutation (P = 0.99) predicted CBR; the PPV was 0.14 for each. Eighty percent (4/5) of those with SD were KRAS wild type. Combined analysis of pS6rp expression and KRAS mutation provided 100% PPV (95% confidence interval, 39.6%–100%), suggesting no chance of CBR for these individuals with 100% specificity (95% confidence interval, 46.3%–100%).
Conclusions: S6rp phosphorylation, loss of PTEN expression, and presence of KRAS mutations alone did not correlate with CBR. However, positive pS6rp staining combined with KRAS mutation performed with 100% PPV and specificity to predict nonresponse. Identifying patients who will not benefit from mTOR inhibitors can direct therapy and reduce exposure to agents that add toxicity without clinical benefit.

First time starting a thread, but I've gotten so much good information from this forum that I'd like to give some back. Hopefully, it's good information.
Anyways, I see everyone and their mama on Houston to cover against Tulane. Houston is a 72% covers consensus. At first glance, I immediately said Houston will smoke Tulane. But upon further review some things stuck out.
First off, 34.5 is ALOT of points for a team with no defense to be giving on the road, especially one with no defense who knows their offense will win the game for them and might not care. Prior to last week, Houston has not been blowing everyone out on the road. They beat UNT by 25, LaTech by 1, UTEP by 7. I actually laid off of Houston last week because of this and they surprised me by covering. On the year, outside of FCS teams, the lowest Houston has allowed opposing offenses was 3 by ECU, 13 by UAB. Beyond that, every other team has scored between 20-35 points against them.
Now let's look at last weeks cover. They won by 43. With ten minutes left in the 4th, they were only up by 29. By then, Keenum was pulled. They had the final number because of a pick 6. Then, off a drive that started at the UAB 46 because UAB's back up QB couldn't drive the team, Houston's back up scored a TD. Again, before this, Houston was barely covering, and maybe even losing depending on your number.
On the other side, let's look at Tulane. First off, Tulane SMOKED UAB 49-10. Second, Tulane is a better offensive team than UAB. UAB's highest point totals were 26 against UCF and 23 each against ECU and Troy. On the year, they average 12 a game. Tulane averages 22 with their highest total 49 against UAB, 34 vs. Syracuse and 24 vs. SMU.
If Houston holds Tulane to their average, they would have to score 56-57 just to cover. Can Tulane score ABOVE their average against the weak Houston D? Especially with an extra number of possession since Houston is likely to strike fast?
some other things to consider:
-Houston is on the 2nd of back to back road games with only 5 days rest since beat UAB. Tulane is also on 5 days rest but is hosting
-Tulane's points this year haven't really come in garbage time. They haven't scored much in the 4th in their losses.
-Tulane is a pass heavy team. They can score in one play. Other teams that are more pass oriented that Houston has played: Rice scored 34, UTEP scored 42. Marshall scored 28. Only UTEP was on the road, other games where at home.
-Houston's highest scoring games this year, 73 vs. Rice in the crazy shootout two weeks ago. 63 vs. Marshall, 56 vs. ECU. ALL AT HOME. On the Road, highest totals are 56 at UAB, 49 at UTEP, 48 at UNT. They average 47 on the road.
-Case Keenum has been chasing records the last 2 weeks, breaking one three weeks ago and breaking the career yardage and final major passing record last week. There is no other record he is chasing.
Bottom line, If they only hold Tulane to their average, Houston HAS to score 56 just to cover. So the real question is, do you think Houston will score MORE than 56 and will Tulane score MORE than their average of 22?
Now, I'm not trying to make people not bet on Houston. Just giving some facts that I think are key. Ultimately we all make our own decisions and I would hate to sway people from betting Houston and they cover. But, with the amount of people going Houston, I would also hate for them to NOT cover and know that I had some info that might had proved useful to some of you guys.
Anyways, this post ended up being long winded, and again, please make your own decisions. I just wanted to share some things cause that's what this forum is for right?
