Genpact to acquire US-based Triumph Engineering
NEW DELHI: BPO major Genpact has said it will acquire US-based Triumph Engineering, which provides engineering and technical services to aviation, energy, and oil and gas industries, for an undisclosed amount.
Triumph enhances Genpact's services portfolio for the infrastructure and manufacturing sector by adding capabilities in the large and high-growth segment of engineering and technical services, Genpact said in a statement.
Closing is subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions, it added.
"We are seeing a huge demand for engineering services in highly technology-intensive industries like aviation, energy and oil and gas.
"This acquisition will allow us to combine Triumph's onsite expertise and depth in engineering with our global scale, end-to-end process management, analytics, and technology capabilities to meet this growing demand," Genpact president and CEO NV Tyagarajan said.
As part of the deal, 90 Triumph employees will become part of Genpact's Infrastructure, Manufacturing and Services (IMS) vertical, it said.
"Our plan is to build out engineering centers of excellence (COEs) with an initial focus on the aviation and energy sectors, which we would later expand to cover other manufacturing segments," Tyagarajan said.
Triumph provides engineering services like product definition and design, product documentation and analysis.
It also provides engineering IT services like product lifecycle management (PLM) implementation and customisation.

Mother's Day was a wash at the Hilton household in Beverly Hills, where Paris's gift bag for mother Kathy apparently ended up in the hands of thieves instead of its intended recipient.
Nearly $10,000 worth of Christian Dior shoes, sunglasses, handbags and perfume was allegedly lifted from outside the Hilton home, family spokesman Elliot Mintz tells the Associated Press.
Paris "spent three or four hours shopping to put together this wonderful collection of things for her mom," Mintz says.
A delivery person put the package down to buzz into the Hilton's gated home when a car pulled up and "a fellow just whizzed by and grabbed the package," Mintz claims.
The Hiltons marked Mother's Day by going out to dinner, he said.
This wasn't the first time Paris's belongings have gone awry. Two years ago she lost her Chihuahua Tinkerbell, who was found a week later.

Van Buren's footwear should have been a word of warning.
Danger ahead.
Some of Black Knights' traffic cone orange shoes proved to be hazardous to Old Fort's tournament health as Van Buren ousted the Stockaders from the Division III sectional final on National Machinery Field at Frost-Kalnow Stadium with a 5-1 victory.
"Coming here is always fun," Van Buren coach Tom Swaisgood said. "It's a nice field, anyhow. I was kind of surprised that Old Fort decided to play us. We were the first seed and they were third. We played them real early in the season, so it makes sense. And they were playing better as the season went on. I kind of hoped we could come on stronger this time than we did last time."
The last time around, the Black Knights won 4-1, so they did achieve Swaisgood's goal.
One of the bright footwear wearers was JJ Mowrey, who tickled the twine twice in second half to stretch the 2-1 halftime lead to 4-1 by the midway point of the second half.
"I thought we played really well," Mowrey said. "In the beginning, we were kind of slow off the ball. But after we started getting pumped up ... we started get some fast passes. In the second half, we decided we were going all out. We're not going to leave anything on this field. Either win or lose, we're going to win or lose as a team."
The Van Buren coach said Mowrey doesn't play like a freshman.
"He moves very well without the ball and that's one of the things we got after them about at halftime," Swaisgood said. "We were doing too much waiting on the ball to come to us. We made some nice long passes to try to pull their defense one way and dump it to the opposite side, just to spread them a little bit more."
Swaisgood said the team was able to take advantage of some things in the second half.
"They were very aggressive and they were beating us to the ball a lot," Swaisgood said. "We changed our game plan a little bit to take advantage of some things and our guys stepped up a little bit more. A few of our seniors decided they were going to play a little bit harder."
The change in the second helped change the complexion of the game from the first half where Van Buren edged Old Fort in shooting, 10-7.
"I thought we played well for about 60 minutes," Old Fort coach Tom Ackerman said. "We had our opportunities down there, one after another. ... All in all, I thought we played well for the majority of the first half and the first part of the second half. But after you get down a few, it (snowballs)."
Old Fort (5-11-1) got on the board first with a header from Cole Davidson off the corner kick of Marc Salas at the 33:48 mark of the first half.
About 10 minutes later, Daniel Roberts put the Black Knights (6-9-2) on the board with a goal off a penalty kick due to a hand ball in the box.
Davidson came close to putting Old Fort in front again with a header but defender Brice Daniel streaked in to boot the ball away before it cross the line.
But it was Van Buren that pulled ahead for good not long after that. Alex Dewey scored unassisted at the 8:38 mark to put the Black Knights up 2-1.
Two and a half minutes later, Chandler Adams scored what appeared to be a goal with 5:59 when he banged a shot off the top cross bar that appeared to come down behind the line, but the spin on the ball kicked the ball back out into the field.
"This is the first game all year that we've been healthy," Ackerman said. "It showed initially. We just couldn't hold on. If we had been up 2-0, I think it would have been totally different."
Goals by Mowrey at the 29:42 and 21:53 marks in the second half set the tone and Preston Wise finished it off with a goal at the 20:47 mark.
"That's the first time we've ever played there where we got them to play our style: long ball," Ackerman said. "That's what we're good at. We don't have enough possession guys to hold the ball long so we turn and go as fast as we can. ... They were kind of playing long and it played into our hands in the first half."
Van Buren's Nathan Maynard had five saves in net as the Stockaders had 10 shots on goal.
"For some reason, we shot the ball right at the goal every time," Ackerman said. "All year, it's been the same. Point blank shots and they're right at him. Their goalie is good but the saves weren't spectacular. We kept putting them there and he was standing there waiting for them. We made it easy on them."
Old Fort's Matt Hill had two saves on Van Buren's 16 shots.
The Black Knights move on to the district semifinal Wednesday back at Frost-Kalnow Stadium, where they'll play Riverdale, which blanked Calvert, 5-0, in the opener.

UNIDO Partners with Japanese Eco-City to Train Environmental Managers
16 July 2013: The UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) announced it has renewed its cooperation agreement with Eco-City Kitakyushu, in Japan, to promote green industry, including reducing industrial pollution and promoting e-waste recycling. The three-year agreement, signed in Vienna, Austria, will include holding seminars on environmental industry management.
UNIDO says the seminars will focus on training administrative officers from Asia and Africa in how to replicate the best practices of the Kitakyushu model, including legal, policy development and financing aspects. To date, the Kitakyushu initiative has resulted in decoupling economic and industrial growth from pollution, and establishing an electronic waste (e-waste) recycling project that exports e-waste from India to Kitakyushu for safe recycling. The initiative's seminars provided support to meet the requirements of the Basel Convention for Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal.
UNIDO notes that Kitakyushu won the Japan Environment Agency Award in 1987, was awarded a Global 500 Award by the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) in 1990 for reducing industrial pollution, and was listed as a Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) "green growth model city" in 2011.

Arian Foster Admits To Getting Money In College
Texans running back Arian Foster pulled back the curtain on what many people think has been happening in college football since college football was invented, admitting he took money while at the University of Tennessee.
?There were plenty of times where throughout the month I didn?t have enough for food. Our stadium had like 107,000 seats; 107,000 people buying a ticket to come watch us play. It?s tough just like knowing that, being aware of that.?
Sports Illustrated obtained a clip from a new documentary called ?Schooled: The Price of College Sports,? which included Foster making it clear he did something outside the lines of the NCAA?s rules.
?I was getting money on the side,? Foster said. ?I really didn?t have any money. I had to either pay the rent or buy some food. I remember the feeling of like, ?Man, be careful.? But there?s nothing wrong with it. And you?re not going to convince me that there is something wrong with it."

quote: Complete straw man argument. What has market share got to do with what I said?
quote: I said their products are overpriced. They have products with one defining spec. All the rest of it about customer support, quality, no crashes are all just myths. Myths I fell for buying a Mac and an iPad, thinking that was what I was paying extra for. The iPad is woefully unstable. I had two Mac HW failures. Their CS was shit, just repeatedly mindless stuff from their training handbook.
quote: Turns out the price premium is mostly for their bottom line. Oh and the in-store decor.Gucci sales are increasing. Prada sales are increasing. (Because of China)Does that suddenly make Gucci or Prada somehow respectable or admirable?Not in my books. Not for Gucci, Prada. And not for Apple.
quote: To get some perspective on what is happening consider this: In this past quarter, Apple sold 37 million iPhones, 15 million iPads, just over 5 million Macs and around 7 million iPod Touches. That's nearly 67 million computer devices in 3 months. Around 60 million of those devices run an operating system, iOS, that is just five years old. The top 5 "PC" companies, including HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer Group and Asus, sell approximately 60 million PCs per quarter combined.

Islander CEO arrested for fraud
An Island resident and CEO of a local software company was arrested Tuesday night at his South-end home on West Mercer Way for allegedly cooking the accounting books and defrauding investors of about $50 million.
According to the Seattle office of the U.S. Attorney's office, Paul Thomas Johnston, 40, the Chief Executive Officer of Entellium, a Seattle-based software firm, is accused of keeping two sets of accounting books — one with real numbers and another inflated with false sales figures intended to lure investors.
The investigation of the fraud charges was conducted by the FBI and states Johnston and the CFO of the company lied about finances from March 2004 through this September. According to the complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's office, an employee in the human resources department found the falsified record books while cleaning the desk of of another executive on Sept. 26. Four days later, Johnston and the CFO quit.
Johnston and the CFO, Parrish L. Jones, 39, of Seattle, announced their resignation in an e-mail about a week before they were arrested. In an e-mail sent on Sept. 30 to a couple of company board members, Johnston announced the resignations and admitted misrepresenting revenues.
"We have both made a grave mistake to misrepresenting our revenue reporting to the board," the e-mail reads. "Looking back at the time we thought we would be able to right the wrong and correct our representation."
According to U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan, the board contacted the law enforcement when they found out about the actions admitted by their two chief executives.
"Truthful accounting and transparency are critical to our financial systems," said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Sullivan. "I want to commend Entellium for contacting law enforcement when it became aware of inflated revenue claims made by company executives. Corporations are on the front line in rooting out fraud, and we need and expect them to come forward."
Wire Fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The two executives were in federal court on Wednesday. Entellium develops software for small and mid-sized businesses to manage their customers. It is unclear if the company will remain in business or if the victims will get their investments returned.
The e-mail sent by Johnston also indicated they were aware of the consequences for what they are accused.
"For the next 24 hours we need to discuss the consequences of our actions with family members and ensure we do what we can to make the best of a terrible situation," the e-mail reads. "Deeply shamed and sorry."

Dear fellow citizens of Lancaster County:
I am humbly writing and seeking forgiveness from you all for being one who has committed the horrible act of criminal domestic violence in the past. It's a terrible crime that destroys the very fabric of a family unit.
Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues was told his entire life that he was too short to play basketball.
Some people believed he was placed on teams out of pity or to draw large crowds for amusement. Not many people thought he could make a career out of the sport.
Bogues, standing at 5 feet, 3 inches, proved a lot of people wrong through the years and now shares his story of will and determination with others.

A Little Peace and Quiet: Transcendental Meditation And KidsSerge Bielanko
Last night's episode of Oprah Winfrey's new show Next Chapter found Oprah splish-splashing around in the Transcendental Meditation (TM) pool.
So naturally,when it's Oprah, there are some people are talking about it the next day.
Oprah's visit to Fairfield, Iowa, the country's leading TM town (think mining-town, but substitute meditation for coal or gold) was pretty intriguing, if nothing else.
A whole town pursuing a higher spiritual path can't ever be a bad thing really, especially if the quality of life for residents is improved because of it.
Out there, all of the cool kids are doing it.
Plus, Oprah's put the whole movement into serious action in her world too. In a Huffington Post piece from today there is a quote from last night's program in which the media mogul explains how TM has played a role in her own company.
"I brought transcendental meditation teachers into Harpo Studios to teach me and my team how to meditate. Seven of us. Seven led to 70… to 270… Now everybody in the company meditates at 9 o'clock in the morning and 4:30 in the afternoon. No matter what's going on, we stop, we meditate."
That's pretty impressive.
Think about it.
Harpo Productions is an incredibly successful company located in metropolitan Chicago. That means there has to be a variety of people from all walks of life working there. And, yeah….maybe they are going along with it because Oprah said to, but I think that I will give them a little bit more credit.
I have a sneaking suspicion they are doing it because it helps. But that's just me.
So, that got me to thinking?
Would this be a good thing for my kids? Would this thing for us as a family, maybe?
If there is a calming/tranquil state of mind to be had anywhere in the universe…doesn't it seem like we might want to introduce that to our toddlers while they blowing snot bubbles out their nose like the baby dragon monsters they can so often turn in to during those difficult years?
And what about our teenagers? Couldn't they use a little place in space to chill out and reflect upon their crazy lives?
Transcendental Meditation is a self-described "spiritual, scientific, and non-religious" movement brought to the world stage by the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 1960's. It is based upon Indian philosophies and the teachings of Buddah and Krishna and a few others.
But how does it work with children, that's what I want to know? I myself have never done it, but to be honest I have always been really interested. I am willing to admit that I have been a hyper-stressed/spazzy dude for a long time, and when I heard that intelligent and bright people like film maker David Lynch and radio legend Howard Stern were followers, I thought, "Hey, this might be cool."
But like a lot of things, I put it off.
Today, though, I'm looking at this Transcendental Meditation thing from an entirely new and different angle. I'm looking at it as a dad.
There have few studies done and it seems that TM in schools that aren't specialized or exclusive doesn't exist. Fair enough.
But what do you think? Do any of you know enough about TM to elaborate on the idea of involving children? Or does it seem like a waste of time to you?
I find it near impossible to imagine my three year old daughter sitting still long enough to do it, but then again…maybe that's my whole point here, huh?

Director Statement
We began the Maquila Project in 2000 by inviting factory workers in Tijuana and community organizations in Mexico and the U.S. to join us in creating a film that depicts globalization through the eyes of the women who live on its leading edge. The factory workers who appear in the film have been involved in every stage of production, from planning to shooting, from scripting to outreach. We wanted to engage in a collaborative process that would break with the traditional documentary practice of dropping into a location, shooting and leaving with the "goods," which would only repeat the pattern of the maquiladora itself. We embrace subjectivity as a value and a goal. We seek to merge art-making with community development and to ensure that the film's voice will be truly that of its subjects.
One thing all the women in Maquilapolishave in common is a sense of agency: They are promotoras, workers who sought out training in human and labor rights from local NGOs and who then committed to pass that knowledge on to their communities. In constructing a collaboration with the promotoras, we had two goals: to create a documentary that is powerful and useful to the people who most need to see and show it, including the promotoras themselves; and to further their own work by providing them with the equipment and skills to create their own activist videos in the future. Maquilapolis is complete, but the Maquila Project is ongoing, as we continue working toward our goals in the form of a binational Community Outreach Campaign.
As for our personal motivations for making this film, we are both artists who believe that art can and does participate in a cultural dialogue concerning social change and justice. Our work is also informed by our own hybrid lives: Vicky is a U.S. citizen who grew up in four countries and eight cities, and Sergio is a U.S. citizen who was raised in Tijuana and migrated to the San Francisco Bay Area as an adult. Our work on Maquilapolis is part of our ongoing investigations into biculturalism, migration, tourism, and labor. We are attracted to stories that have the potential to make visible lives which have been invisible, to challenge normative definitions of people typically defined as "abject" or "other" and to examine the ways in which significant social, economic and human rights issues intersect at every turn in the lives of these individuals. We also wish to foster relationships between filmmaker and subject that challenge two key traditional notions: the idea of filmmaker as "auteur" and the idea of documentary as a carrier of "objective" truth.
We see globalization as a direct continuation of colonialism. The way that NAFTA (and other transnational and global projects) has affected the lives of millions of Mexicans is not unique. We are all workers, and we need an adequate workplace, clear hours, a just salary, medical services, a decent home and a basic education. These are things that the maquiladora industry does not offer its workers. NAFTA is not what it promised to be, and neither are the majority of projects designed in first-world nations and imposed upon third-world nations.
We hope that through this film people come to understand their own relation with Tijuana, with the maquiladora industry, with Carmen, Lourdes and other workers. In other words: The way in which we consume affects the lives of others, and not in a very positive way. We hope that people will understand that NAFTA-style treaties do not benefit the many but the few, and that one way to combat them is to support causes like those of the Chilpancingo Collective, CITTAC and the NGOs that organize to confront, to question and to resist the dark side of globalization.
While films rarely work measurable, concrete changes in the world, they are powerful tools: they open minds and create dialogue, necessary precursors to and ingredients of action. One of our great pleasures has been to watch this film open up new realms of thought, emotion and experience for audiences, just as the process of making the work opened our own minds and hearts. We hope you will be inspired to actions so that the work of women like Carmen and Lourdes can lead to ever-greater changes for the better, both in Tijuana and around the world.

As professional sports leagues wrestle with ways to deal with and prevent concussions, three local hospitals are trying to address the issue at the high school level.
Christ Hospital in Jersey City, Hoboken University Medical Center, and Bayonne Medical Center announced yesterday that they have donated $10,000 to Cleared to Play, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of concussion prevention and treatment.
"This check will pay for all the baseline testing for 5,000 athletes in Hudson County," said Cleared to Play co-founder Dr. Sean Lager.
The organization uses Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) software, a computerized concussion evaluation system currently being used in the NFL and collegiate athletics.
ImPACT uses a preseason, baseline test that analyzes a player's brain function. If the athlete suffers a head injury, they are given another test to determine whether or not their brain function was affected by the injury. According to Lager, insurance companies will cover the cost of the post-concussion test, but will not pay for the initial baseline test.
Testing was done in August at Union City High School, where more than 1,200 student-athletes from across the county were tested.
"This is a subject near and dear to my heart," said Dr. Mark Spector, president and CEO of Bayonne Medical Center. "The threat of a head injury in children is significant and this is a great first step to help prevent that. The initial injury may not be bad, but if they get hit again, it could kill them."
According to Lager, the organization has treated more than 100 athletes for concussion symptoms in the past 18 months. The Centers for Disease Control estimated that 2 million to 3 million athletes suffer from concussions yearly.
"Brains of children 21 and under are the most susceptible to head injury," Lager said. "If the NFL gets the gold standard in concussion testing, then high school athletes should get the platinum standard."
Testing is available at all three hospitals and is free to all Hudson County athletes. For more information, visit the Cleared to Play website at www.clearedtoplay.org.

This has been a great hollidays at Gaston's apartment. It's a perfect apartment for 2. Comfortable, bohemian (looks like Amelie's movie house) and well conected by metro and bus. Thanks Gaston for everything!
This was our second time staying in this apartment, and again it was lovely. Clean, great location, perfect for two people. Very easy to locate and with great links to central Paris. Worth a visit.
I would recommend it to everyone.Everything was as it was described and even better.Great location,beautiful apartment with special ambience,good contact with host. Perfect place to stay in Paris.
Everything was as described. The sofa bed is confortable, the kitchen has pretty much everything you might need and there was almost no noise. The location and the neighborhood is also very good.
Pleasant stay. Simple and nice studio, though a lower price per night would have been even better. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing a personalised stay in paris.
I went to the apartment found it clean and well organized as in the pictures and I would really like to stay there again in the next time
Thanks Gaston
Quiet fully furnished room with pretty good connection (metro)
to city center. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Thank you Gaston - always quick response with Email.
Communication had been OK until I arrived.Once I was there it wasn't possible to contact Gaston.
The appartement itself was OK but the building was under renovation, completely covered. One of the reason I choose this studio was the trees out of the window, so I was very disapointed. The workers were walking around in front of the windows and the chemical stuff they use was irritating me. So I had to close and cover the windows.
The sheet was clean and changed but the comforter had not been washed for long time. The clean sheet couldn't cover the smell of the comforter.
The fridge smelled very bad so each time I opend the fridge I had to hold my breath.
The internet connection was working for one day and stopped working. The TV was linked to internet so the TV didn't funtion neither.
I know Paris. If you pay less than 100 euros you cannot get a decent place.

Here's a plea to all government officials: Come up with a better reason to justify high public-sector salaries and benefits. The Sacramento Bee today reports ...
Here's a plea to all government officials: Come up with a better reason to justify high public-sector salaries and benefits.
The Sacramento Bee today reports that California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez is boosting staff salary by as much as 22 percent, bringing more than 200 legislative aides above the $100,000 mark.
You can already guess what Nunez's spokesman has to say in defense of the big dollars, right? It's important to pay wages that are competitive in order to retain top talent, blah, blah, blah.
That may well be true, but I would humbly submit that government spokesmen are going to have to craft a new line. A hundred grand still sounds like a lot of money to most people, even in California. Why legislators can't get someone to work for, say, a measly $80k is something many voters will wonder. Particularly at a time of deficits (which is all the time in California).
We all understand that when times are tough in government-budget land, reporters love nothing more than to write stories criticizing public officials for heading off to conventions in nice places. Many county officials shied away from NACo's meeting in Hawaii a couple years back for just this reason.
We're entering an era when government salaries are going to come under increased scrutiny. People will be more reluctant to buy the "have to be competitive" line. They are also growing more skeptical (with reason) about the idea that public employees deserve luxurious benefits because they are paid less than private-sector counterparts.
In these global times, many people's wages are under pressure. Government work, so far, is mainly not outsourced. Therefore, government workers are more secure and so generate some jealousy. We've already seen plenty of stories questioning why government workers still get generous guaranteed pensions when most people are lucky to get a percent or two match into their self-funded 401(k)s.
So the heat will continue to be on public officials to justify big paydays and generous benefits. It's time to come up with some fresh material to do so.

What are you most proud of? I haven't sewed anything since I was a teenager so I'm very proud how this turned out. The bodice has steel boning in it so it really has structure.
Gorgeous! You look amazing .... and you made it yourself! Brava! I wonder if you could cut the skirt pieces on the bias to allow a little stretch when you sit? I don't know as it probably wouldn't 'bounce' back into the right shape when you stand.
wow!!! that is gorgeous! and your hair and makeup are stunning! - love how you have the added bits on the bodice too :)

In this population-based study by Coulm et alArticle, the positive predictive value of screening for 21-hydroxylase deficiency was 2.3% with a sensitivity of 93.5% and a specificity of 99.7%. The false-positive rate was particularly high in preterm infants, for which the positive predictive value was 0.4%, and screening should perhaps be reconsidered in this group.
Carmichael et alArticle found a strong association between anencephaly and maternal dietary quality, with the risk of anencephaly 51% lower for those with the highest-quality diets compared with the lowest-quality diets. High-quality diets were associated with a 34% lower risk of cleft lip with or without cleft palate and 26% lower risk of cleft palate.
Prado et alArticle show that a family-based intervention was efficacious in reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors, including unprotected sexual behavior, engaging in sex while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and number of sexual partners, among Hispanic delinquent youth. Working primarily with parents may be an especially effective strategy for preventing or reducing HIV risk behaviors among Hispanic delinquent youth.
Cavazos-Rehg et alArticle found that while there was a 3-fold variation among states in adolescent birthrates, more teaching of sexuality education was not associated with lower adolescent birthrates when accounting for state characteristics (ie, higher religiosity, stricter abortion policies, and sociodemographic characteristics). The strong influence of state characteristics on adolescent birthrates above and beyond sexuality education must be considered when evaluating the efficacy of sexuality education programs.
In a study by Hawkins et alArticle, community-wide beneficial effects of the Communities That Care prevention system on the incidence of adolescent delinquency and tobacco and alcohol use and the prevalence of delinquent behavior, violence, and tobacco use were observed 1 year beyond supported implementation of the program.
This randomized controlled trial by Waasdorp et alArticle in 37 Maryland public elementary schools found that a whole-school, universal prevention program that aims to improve the school environment decreased bullying and peer rejection, especially among those who were exposed to the program at younger ages.
Many students display references to alcohol on Facebook. Moreno et alArticle found that students who displayed intoxication or problem drinking were 4-fold more likely to score in the problem drinking category of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, had 64% higher Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores overall, and were more likely to report an alcohol-related injury in the past year. Clinical criteria for problem drinking can be applied to Facebook alcohol references.
Turner and ChaloupkaArticle found that approximately half of all public and private elementary school students in the United States could purchase foods from vending machines, school stores, snack bars, or à la carte lines on campus. Sugary foods were available to almost all students with access to these sources. Public elementary school students in the South had greater availability of salty and sweet products in those venues compared with students in other parts of the country.
Nguyen et alArticle show that the Loozit community-based group lifestyle intervention for overweight and obese adolescents provided significant but modest improvements in primary weight outcomes (body mass index z score and waist to height ratio) and several psychosocial outcomes at 12 months. Supplementary telephone and electronic contact did not provide further benefits as an adjunct to the Loozit group program.
In a study by Kugelman et al (10.1001/archpediatrics.2011.891), the combined poor outcomes of death or severe morbidity at discharge of infants born at 24 to 26 weeks' gestation were significantly influenced by 3 parameters available at birth in addition to gestational age: sex, sex-specific birth weight percentile, and prenatal steroid therapy. Gestational age alone should not be used to estimate the likelihood of survival without major neonatal morbidity among extremely preterm infants.
In this systematic review by Guillén et alArticle of articles describing 34 185 infants, neurodevelopmental impairment rates ranged from 12.4% to 57.5%. Higher losses to follow-up are associated with higher rates of impairment at 18 to 24 months, suggesting strong ascertainment bias.

Fun Art projects for Spring
April 8, 2011 - Emily Dimov-Gottshall
Being a working artist and mom, I find my self drawn to all sorts of things that combine both or at least give some thought to the creative process. I found some fun websites such as http://www.nickjr.com/spring/, http://adventuresofarainbowmamamama.blogspot.com/,http://www.allsorts.typepad.com/ (She has a really sweet paper doll a month give away), and art for housewives http://housewife.splinder.com/...okay, the last link is more for the art mama's then the kiddos.
Did you know I'm also on Facebook? You can look me up at Emily Dimov-Gottshall. :)
Local art news, the Art in Common group is showing their work at BCAF (Blair County Arts Foundation, http://www.mishlertheatre.org/) in downtown Altoona, and there is a lot of lovely new work at the http://www.art4gallery.com/ (I'm bringing in some new wood carvings, this weekend!).
The SAMA museum is hosting a Blue Monday event at 6 to 8 p.m., April 11, 2011
The evening will feature alternative country and roots music with Pat McGinnis, while celebrating Janet Sullivan Turner: How to Survive an Atomic Bomb. Light supper and libations will be provided for $20.
On the musical side, Treadmill Trackstar have released a new album. "The band finished recording in January and mixed soon after at Archer Avenue Studio with Kenny McWilliams at the board. The album features guest appearances by Dan Cook (Verna Canon / Lay Quiet Awhile) and Susan Cramer (SC Philharmonic) on violin and Mako Fujji on didgeridoo (who angelo met and jammed with when doing some solo gigs in Japan in 2010.)" I'm looking forward to getting their new album and hearing some new blends.

Seeing Ilya Kovalchuk laying on the ice in pain Saturday night was not something the Devils are used to, and Sunday's initial prognosis that the star right wing will miss two to four weeks with a right shoulder injury was certainly a significant blow. The reality of life without Kovalchuk begins tonight, however, when the Devils take on the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place. The Devils are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 36 points and only 16 regular-season games remaining, so they don't have any time to feel sorry for themselves.

Chief: Diverse police force, good community relations important
Erie Bureau of Police Chief Randy Bowers doesn't know much about the police force in Ferguson, Mo.
Bowers said he makes no assumptions about what led Darren Wilson, a white officer; to shoot Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black teenager, numerous times in the St. Louis suburb on Aug. 9 -- an event that sparked riots and protests in Ferguson and new debate nationwide about the tensions between minorities and law enforcement.
Bowers does know, however, that Ferguson's police department does not reflect the demographics of that community.
While 69 percent of the town's roughly 20,000 residents are black, only 6 percent of Ferguson's 53-member police department -- or three officers -- are black, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures.
In Erie, the statistics are not as disparate. But Bowers still finds them unacceptable.
Erie has a minority population of 29 percent, including a black population of 16 percent and a Hispanic population of 6 percent, according to Census Bureau data. The city's 173-member police department, though, is 96 percent white, and Erie has just four black and two Hispanic officers.
The events in Ferguson, Bowers said, underscore why Erie police, and law enforcement nationwide, must find ways to bring more minority officers into their ranks and foster better relationships with the public.
"I don't think there can be any comparison between Erie and Ferguson. But I will speak about Erie, and I think this department needs to be more reflective of the community," Bowers said. "That's why we are doing all of the things we are doing in terms of recruitment and trying to build more trust.
"Now we never can forget that our first mission is to provide safety in the community, and we have to be out there answering calls and being tough on people who are committing crimes, whoever they are," Bowers said. "But it stands to reason in my mind that the presence of more minority officers, especially black officers, may help us in the community."
'Diversity and inclusion'
An Aug. 14 Washington Post article and interactive graphic analyzed Census Bureau figures to point out that the vast majority of U.S. cities have "a police presence that is a lot whiter than their population" -- an issue America has grappled with for a half-century, since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.
The Post reported that more than 75 percent of U.S. cities "have a police presence that's disproportionately white relative to the local population," and that in more than 40 percent of the nation's cities, "blacks are underrepresented among police officers."
Erie has struggled with the issue for decades. The bureau's first 10 black officers were hired only after a federal court fight in the 1970s, when a judge declared that city police hiring practices were unfair to black candidates.
Tiffany McCloud, president of the NAACP's Erie chapter, said the organization has talked with Bowers and the Pennsylvania State Police about collaborating on projects that promote better police-citizen relations.
"The NAACP is open to participate in any discussion with the force related to diversity and inclusion as well as community engagement," McCloud said.
Since being named chief of police by Mayor Joe Sinnott in August 2013, Bowers has put initiatives in place to address both diversity and improved community relations:
- Two black officers, Tom Lenox and William Bailey, were assigned by Bowers to promote police work as a good career choice. Bowers and other city officials believe their efforts are paying off -- more than 25 percent of applicants in the most recent round of the Civil Service hiring process for city police officers were minorities and/or women.
Bowers has said he wants the efforts of Lenox and Bailey to help change negative perceptions about Erie police.
- The bureau has launched an informal program that allows local clergy members to ride along with Erie officers who are on patrol.
- City police have worked with the city's Multicultural Community Resource Center to provide officers with training on how to better understand and interact with different cultures, including Erie's growing refugee population.
"We spend a lot of time in neighborhoods that there's a high population of African-American and minority residents," Bowers said. "These things may help us improve our relations. Any police department can improve on their relations with the community. To me it's not real complicated. Getting it done is the challenge."
Bowers said that another factor is the city's financial situation. Because the police complement is unlikely to rise above 173 officers, he said that new officers are only added when veterans retire or otherwise leave the force.
"The mayor has been adamant at keeping the complement at 173. ... That's the number of officers the city can afford at this juncture. So the number of (new hires) is totally based on who's walking out the door," Bowers said.
Trust and action
However, simply hiring additional minority officers is not enough to bridge trust divides within the community, said Christopher Magno, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Gannon University.
"Regardless of the race of officers, it's more about the method of policing," said Magno, who has had his students track and map crime in Erie via geographic information systems. "Not just riding in cars, but foot patrols. Reaching out at neighborhood watch meetings and other positive interactions involving neighborhoods and their organizations.
Magno said better community relationships will help make police work more enticing to minority groups -- something else that must happen if a police department wants to diversify its ranks.
And while police have to be tough on crime, Magno added, officers also need to refrain from stereotyping and projecting "an image that they are superior to the people that they are serving," because that fosters a lack of trust.
For example, Magno said, many refugees new to Erie don't trust police not because of language barriers, but because they've been "victimized and tortured by police in their countries of origin," Magno said. "You don't want to have that portrayal. You want to build more trust and be more well integrated into the community."
The NAACP's McCloud said police and the community must work together regarding "policy, legal nondiscriminatory practices and how to create a safe environment for our community members and law enforcement.
"There is always more work to do in order to decrease the obvious distrust that exists in our community in regards to law enforcement," McCloud said.
Bowers said that working to improve minority representation on the force and relationships with the public and aggressively cracking down on crime don't have to be mutually exclusive.
"I think the majority of people on this department would agree with me that we need more minority officers," Bowers said. "And we're doing a lot in the community. You can't always be doing community policing, because some situations are dangerous and we have to protect the citizens, but I'm not asking for sympathy from the community. It's just something we have to handle."

Gentoo 2008.0 Beta LiveCD
,----[ Quote ]
| Gentoo 2008.0 Beta 1 has been released. This is no April Fools' Day joke,
| it's really here. The Gentoo Foundation has had its share of problems as of
| late, there was never a Gentoo 2007.1 release, and this first beta is coming
| a bit late, but Gentoo 2008.0 Beta 1 is now available. We have some
| screenshots up of the Gentoo 2008.0 Beta 1 i686 LiveCD.
SliTaz 1.0 on 450Mhz K6-2, 256Mb
,----[ Quote ]
| This is easily my favorite live CD now. I admire DSL for being versatile and
| fast, and I do like the way Puppy Linux has evolved. But itâs hard to beat a
| pretty, usable, complete system that ducks under the 25Mb mark, and does it
| so well. Fatter distributions (and Iâm thinking of Xubuntu, et al., here)
| would do well to notice how much can be done with so little.
First look at SliTaz GNU/Linux 1.0, the smallest desktop distro on earth
,----[ Quote ]
| I haven't been this impressed with a new Linux distribution for a long time.
| A compact package with basic applications, a web server and web development
| tools, an excellent package manager, remastering utilities and good
| auto-configuration scripts - all in a 25 MB download. What more can one need?
| While SliTaz GNU/Linux is unlikely to satisfy every user's needs, the project
| is a great testament to the old saying that good things come in a small
| package. It is also a tribute to the infinite versatility of Linux and free
| software. Give SliTaz a try, you will like it! Â* Â* Â*
A quick look over SliTaz 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line? I liked SliTaz for its extremely low system requirements,
| and I particularly liked the package manager. Â*
SliTaz GNU/Linux, the Smallest âDesktopâ Distro Ever Created
,----[ Quote ]
| âAt 25 MB, it has to be the smallest desktop distro ever createdâ. These were
| the words of Ladislav Bodnar in the most recent issue of Distrowatch Weekly
| when he announced this fresh and minuscule distribution as a new addition to
| the waiting list. Its name is SliTaz, and I was so intrigued about it that I
| tried it out. Â* Â*
| [...]
| After having extensively used SliTaz GNU/Linux 1.0, I can honestly say that
| it is a highly capable distro with a bright future ahead. It is ideal for
| rescuing a broken system, and even for full desktop usage especially when
| employed on older computer machines since it is fast and ultra-lightweight. I
| just hope that those minor bugs that Iâve encountered will be fixed by the
| next release version. Despite those slight troubles, Iâm keeping my SliTaz
| GNU/Linux LiveCD just in case. DSL should watch out, because this new distro
| on the block is surely here to stay. Â* Â* Â*

It seemed as if the Green Day Twittyerverse was exploding between 8:30-11:15pm last night. Everyone that had a phone and two fingers was punching away furiously to friends, Facebook or Twitter about one of the best concerts of the decade. There were nearly a dozen "Oh my God, you'll never believe what song Green Day is playing right now!" moments.
Yes, of course this sounds like an overstatement, but it was this feeling that swept the crowd during the show and stayed with us on our drive home. You don't have to believe me, just search Twitter and you'll see what I mean. Every single concert goer had that after-sex glow as they made the long walk out of Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Among the people going nuts was tennis star Serena Williams. She was Tweeting all night, basically narrating the entire show for her friends around the globe. Apparently, she's a huge rock fan. Who knew?
It all started when dirty, beer drinking bunny hobbled on stage. As if he'd just woke from a night in a dumpster, he wobbled around the stage interacting with the audience. It was almost like one of the roadies found an old, thrashed bunny suit and said, "Hey, I'm gonna go out on stage with this on…" And the band said, "Sure, go nuts."
From the moment that Green Day hit the stage, you could tell Billie Joe was energized and this wasn't going to be any ordinary show. The giant LCD backdrop, the balls of fire, and perfectly choreographed explosions added the right elements to every song without ever upstaging the band.
About a third way through the show, Billie started bringing fans up on stage. Yes, he's done this a million times, but for some reason, this time seemed a little more special, and a whole lot funnier. He looked down at security and said, "I'm Billy Joe f**cking Armstrong, I'll do anything I want!" Clearly, security believed him.
An Asian guy, probably in his early 40s, was called out from the pit. When he finally made it through the pit and up to Billie Joe, he stood next to him, almost dumbfounded, and grabbed the mic. "This is Billie f'ing Joe! (insert long pause) Billie f'ing Joe!" He'd step back a few feet then as if we didn't hear it the first time, he repeated, "This is Billie Joe Armstrong!" The crowd erupted as expected. Billy grabbed the mic and graciously motioned to this awe-struck man that the only way to get off stage was to dive back into the crowd. And that's just what he did. He grabbed his shades from neck of his shirt, slid them on his face and went running right off the edge of the stage. This was just the beginning.
Throughout the evening, Billie Joe made it crystal clear where the band was from and where they called home. "I live in Cali-f**cking-fornia!" I'm so happy to be back in California! Los Angeles County, Orange County… and surrounding areas… oh, and my friends in Riverside!" This was a reoccurring theme all night. Billie was clearly, and honestly, happy to be home. The crowd responded.
It was somewhere around "Geek Stink Breath" that the band members grabbed high-pressure water hoses and squirted the crowd. Everyone in the first 50 rows got nailed.
It was clear to everyone that Billie was having fun during every song. How often does a band's front man put down his guitar and do a head stand? That's precisely what Mr. Armstrong did during "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams."
After a 38 song, three-hour set with two encores, the exhausted and waterlogged crowd was treated to the final song of the night. What else… "Good Riddance (The time of your life)"
Working in radio, one of the perks is going to concerts and I've been to a few. Green Day turned up the knob to 11 on this one.

That's just rude.
be with ones I love, drink champagne, party with great music, LOTS of mexican and seafood.
be with ones I love, drink champagne, party with great music, LOTS of mexican and seafood.
Don't forget, while you're desiring YOUR last meal, there's a pretty good chance your waiter or waitress wants to enjoy THEIR last meal as well. They sure as hell aren't going to bust their asses, waiting to serve you. Neither is the chef!
Everything and anything that Moooooschelle and lil tyrant Bloomerberg says we can't — in all you can eat buffet style fashion.
Yep, me too. Lobster, cherry pie, cashews. Maybe jamocha almond fudge ice cream for dessert.
An entire rhubarb pie. Maybe two, if there's time.
My favorite Italian restaurant. Anything and everything on the menu. In fact- I would do their tasting menu. With Champagne and Ice tea.
Desert would be an eclair, a tiramisu, and of course, ice cream sundae.
Of course my favorite Italian restaurant is in another state, so I would have to fly there and of course, get a room there, but - hey, if the world is going to end, I wouldn't miss a few grand from my 401K!
When we were little, me and my little brother Wes were outside playing in the snow. I went in and got a bottle of Mountain Dew and a glass. I told Wes to go get Mom. I scooped up a class of snow and poured some Mountain Dew on top go it. Wes and Mom came out and I showed Mom the glass.
"You always said 'Don't eat yellow snow, but I don't see what's so bad about it.'"
And I tossed some down.
Mom hit me in the head with a snow shovel.
Chicken flavor Ramen noodles with hot peppers and peanut butter.
Hey, it's what I've got.
I'm diabetic and watch the carbs; pasta is pretty much a thing of the past. So for me, I'd like a big plate of spaghetti with meat sauce, 2 pints of Chunky Monkey ice cream, and a liter of full sugar Pepsi.
Rich San Franciscans assume that the rest of us will all be working on our last night on earth, and serving and indulging them, that is an interesting perspective.
nothing if i wasn't hungry
Lobster was my thought too.
Jowl Bacon?
marinate ribs in coffee? what? explain why we should believe you.
sounds like a recipe to ruin great ribs.
what does the coffee do and how does it taste?
grande ribs? i think not.
try this instead:
I came across Dr. Maurice Codds rib recipe and tried it. Codd was a nobel prize winner in chemistry so I would imagine he understands the chemistry of this better than I do. But the ribs are amazing. Enjoy!
I am quite certain that after a long development process I have finally reached the perfection point in pork rib bbq. For years I hated rib recipes that slather ribs with gooey sweet sauce, and I preferred the dry rub ribs. Now, after countless hours in the lab I have captured both the crunch and tang of the dry rib, and the flavor of the sauce ribs.
Before I go through it, one key ingredient will be somewhat hard to get. Some time back, a wild swarm of bees showed up in the back yard. I caught them in a box, and then moved them to a hive I got. Since then they have yielded gallons of exquisite wild swarm honey. That is the key ingredient. And no, it doesnt taste sweet. Here is the recipe:
Go get as many slabs as you want of tasty pork ribs, cut them up individually
Get a jug of apple cider vinegar, a jug of molasses.
Then go the fridge. Grab what you have: mustard, some ketchup, maybe even a left over bottle of barbeque sauce, left over red wine is good, you get the idea, forage for it.
Pepper, some salt.
Mix up the vinegar, molasses (a bunch) and the other ingredients in a big stainless pot or bowl. Dump the marinade and the ribs in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge for at least a day. The key ingredient here is the vinegar, dont skimp on that.
Now to cook. The key here is low, low heat for a long time. If you can get your grill down to 200 degrees, thats best. Sure throw in some wood chips or whatever if you want.
This part is important: dont put the ribs on the grill, put them on a rack, and put aluminum foil under them so there are no flare ups. Indirect heat for a long time is key. If you must, do a little basting but you really dont need to.
Cook until the meat shrinks back from the bone, that could be an hour or it could be two depending on the grill and the ribs. Tip a few while this is going on. It wont help the recipe but you will feel better.
Now the honey part. Take the ribs off the grill and pull out the aluminum foil. Put the foil where the dog wont get it, you will regret it if he does. Put the ribs in big bowl and drizzle the honey on each rib till they are coated.
Turn the heat up to high in the grill. Quickly put the ribs directly on the grill. This part should take maybe a minute or two. Keep turning the ribs until the honey caramelizes, you dont want any un-caramelized honey left or the ribs will taste too sweet. You will have to play with this to be able to see when they are done, but you have to stay on it, turning them.
Take the ribs off and go to town. The outside of the ribs will be crunchy, not sweet, and the inside will fall off the bone and be tangy. The combination of the two is amazing.
Perfect ribs are that easy!!

In the past ten years, almost every mode of inheritance, including sex-linked dominant, has been proposed for the Noonan syndrome. The occurrence of the phenotype in father and son reported in this and two other communications makes X-linked dominant hypothesis untenable. It appears that the inheritance of the Noonan syndrome could best be explained by an autosomal dominant gene with variable expressivity. The proband, in the present communication, had truncus arteriosis type 4, not previously described in this syndrome.
