Bernadette Cooper
She's funky. She's funny. She sings smart, sassy pop songs. So the big mystery is, where has Cooper been hiding? In an interview parody on her debut disc, she addresses that issue.
Interviewer: "Where have you been?"
Cooper: "Just kickin' back, relaxin' and lookin' good."
Not exactly. Even if she did look good while she was doing it, the former vocalist-drummer for Klymaxx must have put in a lot of hard labor to make music as finely crafted as this. Cooper co-wrote the songs, produced the sharp arrangements and even directed her own witty video. Her control over the project and her vision bring to mind Michael Jackson and Prince, who also clearly influenced her urban pop style.
As the title implies, Cooper is a nonstop actress and mimic who shifts effortlessly into a variety of styles and voices. On "I Look Good," for instance, she plays the ultimate arrogant diva, dripping with enough attitude to sink a supercarrier. In one verse, she claims to stop a bank heist because the robber can't take his eyes off her: "He threw down the gun and said..."Who does your hair?' "
She does a night-day switch from comedy to social commentary for "The Agency Sent Me." This time Cooper plays a frustrated social worker who can't help battered children because of bureaucratic red tape.
Nearly every song on the album has the slick style of a pop hit, yet Cooper's intelligence adds a deeper dimension. Even the cover photo is a double-edged joke. Parodying divas who build their image on clichés about female sexuality, Cooper pouts while tied up in a black leather straitjacket.
Like Madonna, she can be sexy and funny at the same time. If her solo career took a long time to start, momentum seems to be kicking in. (MCA)

The most rewarding half-day trip out of Pyin Oo Lwin is to the Anisakan Falls, located amid densely forested hills 9km southwest of town. The easiest way to visit is to take a taxi from the roundabout on the edge of town. The walk from the car park to the base of Dat Taw Gyaik – the most impressive of the falls – takes 45 minutes, and it's a fairly strenuous hour back. The falls are at their most spectacular in the rainy season.

Also called Fra I Monti , the GR20 goes from Calenzana, near Calvi
to end at Conca in the neighbourhood of Porto Vecchio, going through the
Natural Country Park. .
So there are 200 km - entirely marked out - of absolute beauty but which
are not devoid of difficulty that the practiced rambler could do in a
period of about 15 days, not counting the rest periods in the small private
hotels or in the numerous refuges, which are nowadays well equiped and
which line the course; and also not counting the periods where you go
and stock up in the following places:
Considering the particularly sporting character of this ramble "
through the mountains" we will say never enough to the rambler to
not go alone, to equip himself, to gather information with precision and
to arm himself with the Lecture-Guide "Paths of Corsica- GR20".
But the ramblers which are less practiced do not have to be upset! The
teams of the National Country Park which ensure the laying-out and the
upkeep of the GR20 also have thought about them, by offering them, through
its " Country Paths" very beautiful hikes:
Alta Rocca, Boziu, Fium'orbo, Niolu,
Taravo, Venachese..

"a thy with that"
There is a beauty in the ebb and flow of language. It expands within the human breast in much the same way as music, and it can carry us to heights and depths that reach beyond our understanding.
I am among those who find empathy in the "thee's" and "thou's;" and other ancient soft or gentle phrasing; for me they infuse the "fear of the Lord" with an immanent intimacy that the vernacular cannot produce. More formal language may permit us to touch God, and, perhaps, each other in ways that might be offensive in vulgar terms of daily conversation. ceb
Both, please, if thou wouldst
Thank you for the interesting post. I am one of the breed that still enjoys a smattering of thees, thous, and thys, but have also been very keen for decades on using a variety of translations (and even paraphrases--gasp!) when it helps convey meaning. I fell in love with the NIV when only the New Testament was available and still love that work. However, to this day I cannot bring myself to recite the 23rd Psalm or the Lord's Prayer in anything but KJV!
While I enjoy new translations, archaic language can be good stuff, too. I had fun preparing a note that focuses on KJV's use of the word "assuaged" when the waters of the Genesis flood receded. New translations are spot on, but "assuaged" includes an intriguing suggestion that God used the abating flood waters themselves to provide comfort. Does this language make some people run screaming into the night? Probably. But with the right audience in the right setting, it is a powerful lesson of looking for comforting, nurturing provisions from God in unlikely places when we feel helpless or hopeless on our own.
New translations always seem to be more useful when first introducing people to Bible study. After a while, though, a hunger grows to learn more about history and tradition. When this happens, tracing modern teachings to older texts helps construct a bridge to the past. When that bridge is in place, a deeper (or at least different) understanding of faith takes root. So I will gladly plant a new seed with new (contemporary) language, but won't hesitate to use older language when it helps connect people to their roots in the faith.

A heating unit in a condominium in a luxury high-rise building on the palisade in North Bergen overheated and started a fire, the owner of the unit said this afternoon.
The blaze, which quickly went to three alarms because it was in a 29-story, 309-unit building -- the Parker Imperial on Boulevard East -- was contained to the single unit on he 15th floor, North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue (NHRFR) Co-director Michael DiOrio said.
One firefighter was taken to Palisades Medical Center with heat exhaustion and no residents of the building were hurt.
"The heating unit just overheated and flames started coming out," said Marshall Kozinn, 82, who lives in unit 15C. "The systems are lousy. This is the second time they replaced it. The one they replaced was better than this one."
Kozinn said he said he tried to put out the fire before calling 911 and leaving the apartment.
DiOrio said the cause of the fire is undetermined. The NHRFR was received the call at 1:06 p.m. There appears to be water damage at the building from firefighters putting out the fire.
"Apparently the rooms are very fire resistant," DiOrio said.
The building includes 26 stories of residential units and overlooks James J. Braddock North Hudson Park. It also boasts magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline.
The building was not evacuated but people returning to the building have not been allowed further than the lobby. No vehicles are being allowed into or out of the parking deck, either, some residents there told The Jersey Journal this afternoon.

Karl Voelkerding, M.D., Associate Professor, Pathology, University of Utah; Medical Director, Advanced Technology & Bioinformatics, ARUP Laboratories
10:40 Use of Exome Sequencing for Genetic Diagnosis: Clinical Experience and Case Examples
Wayne W. Grody, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Medical Genetics and Molecular Pathology, Pathology & Lab Medicine, Pediatrics, and Human Genetics; Director, Molecular Diagnostic Laboratories and Clinical Genomics Center, UCLA School of Medicine
The advent of massively parallel or next-generation DNA sequencing has finally brought into reach the long-anticipated "Thousand Dollar Genome", or the ability to sequence an individual's entire genome at reasonable cost. This presentation will review such aspects as clinical utility, challenges in test interpretation and genetic counseling, return of incidental findings and reimbursement, all within the context of our own experience performing clinical whole-exome sequencing at an academic medical center.
11:10 The Art of Interpreting and Reporting Results from a Multi-Gene, NGS-Based Panel for Solid Tumor Mutation Testing
Allie Grossmann, M.D., Ph.D., Staff Pathologist, Surgical Pathology and Oncology, ARUP Laboratories
With the advent of clinical testing of tumors with NGS technology, the breadth of sequence coverage has expanded beyond the scope of well-characterized mutations. This presents a challenge to both interpreting variants and to meeting reasonable clinical turn-around times for reporting. These challenges will be discussed within the context of clinical case examples with an emphasis on "lessons learned" in the adoption of NGS for solid tumor mutation testing.
11:40 Providing More Comprehensive Genetic Diagnostics by Next-Generation Sequencing-Based Multi-Gene Panels
For many genetic disorders, heterogeneity is the rule and NGS has provided a new avenue by which to overcome the limitations of Sanger sequencing-based diagnostic approaches. This presentation will highlight how NGS is transforming the diagnostic evaluation of genetic disorders through more comprehensive multi-gene panel-based methods. Technical options and bioinformatics considerations will be discussed along with how Sanger sequencing and NGS are being used in an integrative fashion.

Segal, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Scientist, SimulConsult Genome-phenome analysis uses a genomic variant table and compares patient's findings to those of known diseases ("phenome"). Accuracy was 100% with trios with family-aware calling, and close to that with only probands. The gene pertinence metric calculated in the analysis was 99.9% for the causal genes, and the analysis took seconds and was hypothesis-independent.

Xun Xu, Ph.D., Deputy Director, BGI Research, WaferGen BioSystems
Advances in NGS technology have resulted in dramatic improvements in sequencing throughput and turnaround time, yet a critical bottle neck in NGS workflows exists at the library preparation stage. We present a technology that dramatically reduces process time by generating sequencer-ready amplicon libraries in a single step. This coupled with the ability to simultaneously process multiple samples enables a high fidelity, scalable and cost effective high throughput solution for NGS targeted resequencing.

1:45 The Spectrum of Mutations and Mutated Cancer Genes Across Many Tumor Types
Michael Lawrence, Ph.D., Computational Biologist, Cancer Genome Computational Analysis, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University
Comprehensive knowledge of the genes underlying human cancers is a critical foundation for cancer diagnostics, therapeutics, clinical trial design and selection of rational combination therapies. While some cancer genes are mutated at very high frequency (20% of patients), the vast majority are found at intermediate frequencies (2-20%) and sometimes even lower frequencies.
2:15 The Evolving Genome of Glioblastoma
Siyuan Zheng, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas
Glioblastoma (GBM) rates amongst the most deadly of adult tumors. We have performed extensive genomic profiling to characterize the landscape of somatic alterations of GBM. Analysis of matched pre- and post-treatment GBM showed that the GBM genome evolves under the selective pressures from cytotoxic therapy and cytoreductive surgery. We provide new insights into the heterogeneity of this disease, and the factors contributing to it.
2:45 Mutational Heterogeneity and Evolution in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Ryan D. Morin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Simon Fraser University
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing in this tumor type has uncovered a plethora of common mutation targets and a long tail of infrequently mutated genes with potential relevance. We have also computationally dissected individual DLBCL tumors to identify multiple sub clones and evidence for ongoing acquisition of driver mutations in this disease.

Downtown Williamsport was packed with locals and visitors alike as they took in and celebrated the global experience of the Little League World Series during the fourth annual Williamsport Welcomes the World.
The aroma of the many food vendors filled the air along West Fourth Street, as there was kettle corn, French fries and the traditional baseball snack, hot dogs, among others. Street vendors also had the opportunity to sell goods, along with downtown businesses.
But that wasn't all, as there was plenty of entertainment, as well.
The Uptown Music Collective performed on stage and there was a kids zone, where children were able to play in bounce castles, get their faces painted and see a magic show.
"We've got a great event," said Jason Fink, executive vice president of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce, which partnered with the city to host the event. "Everyone seems to be having a great time."
The fact that the event attracted people of all ages fit right in with the Little League experience, Fink said.
"It's a fun area event celebrating Little League Baseball," he said.
Besides the many vendors, visitors also could meet and get an autograph from Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Robin Yount, who played 20 years for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Dave Chaklos, of Frackville, was one of the many waiting in line to get the chance to meet the former ball player. He said that he comes every year for the World Series games, but also enjoys taking in the downtown festivities.
"It's nice," Chaklos said of the annual event. "It seems like it's something nice for the town."
Dawn Palmatier, who was promoting the Pennsdale Haunted Barn, Hayride and Corn Maze, said there was something for everyone.
"It's a wide variety of things (offered at the event)," she said.
She added that it's an opportunity for the area to show what they have to offer, as there are so many people from not only the area but from around the globe.
"For Williamsport, it's a big opportunity. Different businesses get more people than they normally would," Palmatier said.
Rod Morgan, a member of the city's Recreation Commission, also noted how great it was to show off the city.
"This is great," he said. "It's a chance to showcase Williamsport."
Fink added that inviting people into the city allows them to explore the many shops, restaurants and other downtown businesses. He enjoys the fact that these businesses are able to get more exposure because of the event, which he said normally attracts anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 individuals.
"It gives the folks an opportunity to see our great downtown," he said.

In Treatment
Treatment for childhood brain tumors is based on the type of tumor, the tumor location, age of the child and other factors. Because of the unique challenges of treating the brain and CNS, the healthcare team developing and implementing the treatment plan often includes several specialists:
- Pediatric neurosurgeon: a doctor who specializes in surgery to the brain and nervous system
- Pediatric neuro-oncologist: a doctor who specializes in treating brain tumors with chemotherapy
- Radiation therapist: a doctor who specializes in treating brain tumors with radiation therapy
- Pediatric neurologist: a doctor who treats brain and nervous system diseases in children
- Endocrinologist: a doctor who treats diseases in glands that secrete hormones
The healthcare team will develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient. More often than not, treatment will include multiple forms of therapy.
Almost all children will undergo a surgical biopsy. At that time the surgeon will remove as much of the tumor as can be done safely. Some children may not have surgery because it is too dangerous and/or there has not been a benefit shown for such patients. Examples of these patients are:
- Children with diffuse tumors in the brain stem (the upper part of the back of the neck)
- Children with tumors in the pituitary, pineal or thalamic areas (in the deep center of the brain) may undergo biopsy only
Most children recover very well from surgery, and many gradually regain any neurological function lost because of the tumor. Occasionally, a child will have additional brain damage caused by unexpected bleeding or pressure on the brain during surgery, but these children frequently recover as well.
Depending on the specific brain tumor and age of the child, there are a number of treatments that may be given after surgery.

RiceLeaders Assessments
To help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, both from their own and others' perspectives, RiceLeaders participants engage in three different assessments at two key points of the program.
In preparation for the Leadership module and start of the RiceLeaders program, participants complete and nominated raters, to complete on their behalf, the following assessments:
Participants receive and review the results of these assessments during their Leadership module, then work with executive coaches following the module to further interpret, and make good use of, the assessment feedback.
In preparation for the Creativity module, participants complete the Innovation Strengths Preference Indicator (ISPI).
Participants receive and review the results of their ISPI during their Creativity module, and then participate in activities that demonstrate how the results relate to the individual and collective talents and abilities of the group, and offer insight into how participants can use the assessment feedback in their work.

• We report the reliability and validity of the Internal State Scale, a self-report instrument for the simultaneous assessment of severity of manic and depressive symptoms. The Internal State Scale consists of four empirically derived subscales: Activation, Well-Being, Perceived Conflict, and the Depression Index. All subscales had good internal consistency reliability. Activation subscale scores were significantly higher in manic patients than in depressed patients or control subjects, while Well-Being subscale scores were significantly lower and the Depression Index subscale scores were significantly higher in depressed patients than in the other two groups. Activation subscale scores were correlated specifically with clinician ratings of mania. Depression Index subscale scores were correlated specifically with clinician ratings of depression. Further evidence for the validity of the subscales of the Internal State Scale in reflecting manic or depressive symptoms came from discriminant function analysis in which these subscales assigned 88% of subjects to the correct diagnostic groups. In affectively ill patients who were studied in two or more mood states, Activation, Depression Index, and Well-Being subscale scores changed significantly in the predicted directions, while the same discriminant algorithm assigned 79% of mood states to the correct diagnostic category. Bimodal distribution of scores of manic patients on the Well-Being and Depression Index subscales substantiated earlier findings that euphoric mood is not an essential feature of mania. Based on findings from this and previous studies, the hypothesis is proposed that variables related to activation level, and not to mood state, constitute the core characteristics of the manic syndrome.

We here at AP know you internet denizens love lists. And we know that folks in bands have other interests beyond cranking out decibels. So here's Five Faves, a column that solicits a list of five subjects from a number of various rockers.
This week, RYAN NEFF, bassist for metal mavens MISS MAY I, lets you in on the songs he plays to get his adrenaline pumping before taking the stage.
Pantera - "Primal Concrete Sledge"
This is my favorite Pantera track. It comes in with punishing double bass and a super-heavy bassline right off the bat. "Walk" got me into Pantera when I was in high school, which lead me to pick up every record. I proudly wear a Pantera patch during every show. They always get me pumped.
White Zombie - "Black Sunshine"
One of my favorite songs by my favorite band. I remember watching the music video for this song as a kid and being afraid and intrigued all at once. The opening bassline was one of the first I learned, and I still remember it to this day.
In Flames - "Where The Dead Ships Dwell"
Massive riffs in this one. I love the production on this entire record, and the vocal performance is awesome. The mix of abrasive screaming and unique singing really makes this album a fun one to listen to, and even more fun to try and learn how to perform.
Lamb Of God - "Redneck"
A classic LOG tune with an awesome music video to back up the riffing. I remember seeing this video on heavy rotation and actually not liking it at first because it was "too heavy" for my taste at the time. Randy [Blythe, frontman] is sporting a bald head in this one which, as a fellow bald dude, is cool to me, obviously.
As I Lay Dying - "The Sound Of Truth"
The main riff in this song has been sung out loud by every member of our band in unison on multiple occasions. Overall, I have to say this is one of my favorite tunes of all time. I absolutely love the whole album. The melodies hook you every time and will be stuck in your head for days.

Baby arugula tossed with garlic and dressing makes a quick and colorful topping for pan-fried pork chops.
Cooking the pork chops over high heat for just a few minutes keeps the meat juicy and tender. To speed the cooking, I buy boneless loin chops about 1/2 -inch thick. If using thicker chops, cut them almost in half horizontally, open them like a book and flatten them to about 1/2 -inch thick. Either works well with this recipe.
This entree is accompanied by spicy potatoes "roasted" under a broiler. Be sure to heat the broiler before adding the potatoes. Cutting them into 1-inch cubes helps them to become crisp outside and cooked inside in this short time. If you like your food really spicy, sprinkle a little more cayenne on the potatoes after they are cooked.
Wine suggestion: A soft, red pinot noir.
Hints: Any type of potato can be used. Washed, ready-to-eat arugula can be found in the produce department. Any type of firm lettuce can be substituted.
Pan-Fried Pork with Garlic Greens
3/4 pound boneless pork chops, 1/2 -inch thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 ounces washed, ready-to-eat baby arugula (about 2 cups)

Remembering Red Noonan: citizen, public servant, friend
With the recent death of Judge Lionel "Red" Noonan, Mobile and the state of Alabama lost one of their finest and most faithful citizens and public servants.
I first met Red when I was about 10 years old and he was about 18. After a period of football and tumbling, he walked over and introduced himself to my young friends and me. I recall his kindness and humility.
The second and last time that we met was when I was in my 70s and he was in his 80s. He hadn't changed a bit, and was still a totally kind and humble man.
On embracing him, I found that his body was still as rock solid as it had been 65 years before.
He expressed gratitude for a letter I had written to the paper, at the time of his retirement in 2001. Mrs. Noonan said that Red had framed the letter and placed it in his study.
Shortly after the Noonans had celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and he and his teammates had been honored by the University of Alabama, I received a letter from Red. In it, he described these two events and what they had meant to him and then quickly inquired about my well-being.
He seemed always to be deflecting attention from himself to others.
I will value the letter for the rest of my life, just as I will the memories of our friendship.
Red Noonan was one of the most honest and incorruptible persons I've known.
I hope I'll meet up with Red again one day, because when I do, I'll know that I have reached that place that all God's children call home.
Goodbye for now, Red, and God bless you.

Thanks for magnificent concert by three tenors
We were very impressed and excited about the performance of the tenors Cook, Dixon & Young (Trent Cook, Rodrick Dixon and Thomas Young), who performed at the Saenger Theater. Our hats are off to the 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile for presenting the performance. It is a wonderful organization.
My wife, Diane, and I had the grand opportunity to be among a host of other Mobilians who attended this concert. It was certainly a grand affair and the entertainment was by far "uptown."
The audience participation was fantastic. We were not for one moment left without amazement and pleasure at the sensational performances of the tenors. Each displayed such incredible confidence and finesse.
The interjection of traditional spiritual songs into the show was an added pleasure.
I am sure I speak on behalf of all who were in attendance: It was a grand affair.
DR. ARTHUR McMILLION

Obsessed - that's how I get myself into trouble with rice! It always seems harmless, until the aftermath hits me. :)
Today's been a lot better. Yesterday I ate completely clean - dinner ended up being a LOT of steak tips cooked in coconut oil and garlic, and no actual veggies, but the day was more important for what I didn't eat than what I did. I avoided sugar entirely, dairy almost entirely, and definitely stayed far away from carbs. I also hopped on the exercise bike for a relatively slow 30 minute spin after dinner. My blood sugar was at 83 when I went to bed, and at 86 when I woke up.
I also got a solid 7.5 hours sleep. I woke up without the alarm, "naturally" -- if naturally can be described as "when my room mate got loud enough to wake me up." But I slept hard and woke up refreshed and not tired, so I count that as a good night. So much better than those two nights when my blood sugar was jangling around 120ish.
Today I had 3 eggs for breakfast, cooked in butter. Some black coffee throughout the morning. Lunch is a boiled egg and all the leftover steak tips from last night. I think tonight will be sausage and the broccoli I meant to have last night.
I'm in ketosis again as of this morning. I did check my weight - I'm trying not to do that as often now - and while I'm up 3 lbs, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I feel like I'm solidly back on track now. :)

ELKINS - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's proposed state budget would cut funding to several child-oriented services in Randolph County, including the Randolph County Family Resource Network and Women's Aid in Crisis.
Rebecca Vance, director of the Randolph County Family Resource Network, said that her organization is facing deep cuts. She said the budget is proposing to cut family support services, which she says are desperately needed within the state.
"We and the programs we work with are receiving cuts," Vance said. "The fear is that many organizations will not be able to work in the same capacity they have been."
The proposed budget calls for cuts in funding issued by the Children's Trust Fund, including a 26.7 percent cut in funding to child abuse prevention services; a 25 percent cut to in-home family education; an 8.5 percent cut to Family Resource Networks; a 14.3 percent cut to grants for licensed domestic violence programs and statewide prevention; and a 7.4 percent cut to the Domestic Violence Legal Services Fund and Child Advocacy Centers.
Meanwhile, funding for social services would increase by 16.3 percent overall, according to the proposed budget.
Vance said that the Randolph County FRN currently operates with a budget of about $38,000 per year, which includes employee pay, substance abuse prevention, assistance with child abuse prevention, tobacco prevention, resources and referrals, office supplies and rent.
"The Family Resource Networks provide the glue that keeps community groups, families, congregations, businesses and service agencies together," Vance said. "We promote coordination of services and promote opportunities for families to impact decisions that affect them. At the current budget... it pushes each FRN to complete all that is required of them from not only state but community partners, residents, etc."
Vance said that budget cuts are something she and the FRN have experienced before.
"Last year we took a cut and we were able to find a way to make things work,"she said. "It really makes you get creative. We've got to really look at what we do and find money in a new way, be it fundraisers, grants, etc."
Marcie Drake, executive director of Women's Aid in Crisis in Elkins, said the cuts would definitely affect the services WAIC provides to six counties in the area.
"We are dealing with funding cuts reaching nearly $400,000 across the state," Drake said. "Our goal this year was to lobby for more funding. Now, our goal is just to get back to even."
WAIC would face a 14.3 percent cut in funding under the proposed budget.
Drake said there are 14 programs for domestic violence and nine programs for rape crisis throughout the state. The proposed cuts are going to impact every county and all those services in the state, according to Drake.
"These are lifesaving services - people are alive today because of these services in West Virginia," Drake said. "West Virginia ranks high in the number of domestic homicides of women and men. One third of homicides are domestic-related. These cuts may mean that there may be services cut from a county. This could create an environment where victims of domestic violence could fall through the cracks."
Drake said that WAIC is taking precautions to protect against the cuts.
"We are not going to close our doors," she said. "We could cut back services to the six counties we serve but we don't ever stop serving. We will continue to work around the clock, even though there may be some services that are cut."
Delegate Denise Campbell, D-Randolph, agreed that the cuts in services could be detrimental to those residents who most need them.
"I'm against cutting funding for programs for people who are unable to care for or protect themselves," she told The Inter-Mountain. "The FRN and organizations like it protect children and families and combat drug abuse.
"We can't take money from programs trying to strengthen our children and our workforce. Safety for those who can't help themselves should be our number one priority."
The budget is set to be voted on in March at the end of the legislative session.
