Youth at college and work
February 19, 2010
At age 22, women are more likely to be enrolled in college than men and are also more likely to have completed a bachelor's degree. Among 22-year-olds not enrolled in college, men are more likely than women to be employed in a civilian job or serving in the military.
Twenty-seven percent of young adults were enrolled in college during the October when they were age 22, and 10 percent had received a bachelor's degree. Forty-four percent of 22-year-olds had graduated from high school and were not enrolled in college, and 7 percent had earned a General Educational Development (GED) credential and were not enrolled in college. Eleven percent of individuals were high school dropouts during the October when they were age 22.
Women were more likely than men to be enrolled in college and were more likely to have received a bachelor's degree. Twenty-nine percent of women were attending college during the October when they were age 22, compared with 25 percent of men. Moreover, 13 percent of women had earned a bachelor's degree, compared with 7 percent of men.
At age 22, labor force status differed substantially between high school dropouts, high school graduates who had never attended college, and individuals who had left college. Those with more education were more likely to be employed in civilian jobs.
Ten percent of male high school graduates who had never enrolled in college were in the Armed Forces during the October when they were age 22, as were 7 percent of the 22-year-old men who had attended college but had not earned a bachelor's degree and were no longer enrolled. Three percent of 22-year-old men with a bachelor's degree were serving in the Armed Forces.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys. See "America's Youth at 22: School Enrollment, Training, and Employment Transitions Between Ages 21 and 22" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0099, to learn more. These data are from the first 11 annual rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), which is a nationally representative survey of about 9,000 young men and women who were born during the years 1980 to 1984.

Janice Fravel likely never dreamed she one day would be the first person in the area to undergo a procedure for an extremely rare heart condition.
Fravel, 75, of Jersey Shore, was active and healthy for most of her life, until several years ago when she started to not quite feel herself.
"I was real active," she said. "I walked 4 or 5 miles ever day. Then, pretty soon I couldn't walk 2 miles. Then I couldn't walk up the hill."

Dr. Michael Lazar, a Susquehanna Health cardiothoracic surgeon and medical director of Williamsport Regional Medical Center, above, conferred with top heart specialists before proceeding with the surgery.
She lost much of her energy, felt weaker, and at times couldn't catch her breath.
Eventually, she was treated for atrial fibrillation, but that didn't seem to help.
She underwent a series of tests and even was hospitalized for a time earlier this year.
And then, something a little bit different was found wrong.
It was determined that Fravel had a condition known as coronary fistula.
Dr. Michael Lazar, a Susquehanna Health cardiothoracic surgeon and medical director of Williamsport Regional Medical Center, noted that blood was being pumped into her heart chamber, creating a backflow with nearly 1.25 liters of blood bypassing the normal circuit. That was enlarging her arteries and putting her at risk for hemorrhaging or clots.
The abnormal connection, or fistula, likely caused Fravel's arrhythmia.
In a normal connection, blood in the artery flows to veins and capillaries and away from the heart.
"Coronary fistulas are rare - that's about 1 percent of cases, and the location of Janice's was even more unique - the most rare of a very rare condition," Lazar said.
Only about 20 such procedures had ever been done in the U.S. However, through the health system's affiliation with Cleveland Clinic, Lazar was able to confer with some of the top heart specialists to determine how to proceed.
He felt sure he could perform the procedure needed to help Fravel.
"I have a lot of experience with advanced coronary procedures, and I had every confidence in our facility. The team here is as good as any team I've ever worked with. All of the components are in place," Lazar said. "Having the ECMO (a machine that can take over the work of the lungs and heart) was a significant factor, because we could support her heart and lung function indefinitely to transfer her to Cleveland Clinic if we needed to."
Fravel, who underwent the successful hour-long surgical procedure June 5 at Williamsport Regional Medical Center, called it a "miracle."
"I just feel like I got a new lease on life," she said.
She has resumed most of her daily activities that she has long enjoyed - playing with grandchildren, delivering meals to shut-ins, resuming her active church life.
A coronary fistula is often congenital, and it's likely that Fravel had the condition for a very long time
However, it's often not diagnosed until later in life.
For Fravel, it was a condition she had no way of even knowing she had until she began feeling its symptoms several years ago.
"She was relatively healthy most of her life," Lazar said. "She was active. That helped her survive so long."

First apartment. Brand new homeowner. Newlyweds. One of the things you'll surely need will be a few tools.
"I received my tool box as a birthday present from my husband a year into our marriage," said Gwen Logan of Gustavus. "It was the best and most useful gift ever."
Kevin Cheney, store manager at Ace Hardware in Kinsman, just put together a small toolbox for his wife's office.
Here's what came to mind when asked about what tools were a necessity in every home:
Hammers come in a wide variety and at many price points. Handles made of wood, fiberglass and a closed-cell plastic are on a rather daunting wall of hammers at the hardware store in Kinsman.
"Guys sometimes pick a straight on; it looks more aggressive," said Cheney. "I'd recommend a curved claw because it works better. The geometry just makes more sense."
Fact BoxThe basics l Hammer l Screwdriver set or multiple-bit l Pliers l Wrench (monkey or crescent) l Cordless drill driver l Small measuring tape l Flashlight l Hacksaw l Picture hanging kit (with hangers, screws, nails, anchors) l Metal file
Screwdrivers seem to be the thing that disappears around the house. Cheney recommends a screwdriver set. A six piece set is inexpensive and will have the sizes a homeowner needs.
"I have screwdrivers that were my dad's," said Cheney. "They don't wear out - they're still good."
A screwdriver with multiple bits is another choice.
"We sell a '6 in 1' set that has the bits stored in the handle," said John Simcox, who works at Andrews in Howland Corners. "There are two straight, two Phillips and two nut drivers - that's all most people will really need."
When you have kids or a less-than-tidy spouse, you know the frustration of not being able to put your hands on those tools when you need them.
Logan admitted she even used to lock her toolbox. "I put my tools away, therefore my toolbox actually has screwdrivers (a Phillips head and flat), pliers, measuring tape, hammer, WD 40, a level and nails."
Sally Eucker, from Hartford, confesses she doesn't really even have a toolbox. "I generally use whatever I have on hand as a tool - coins or knives for screw drivers, my meat mallet for a hammer, and so on," said Eucker.
"Small, inexpensive pliers could get you out of most any jam," Simcox said. "You could use them for anything you need to get a hold on."
Needlenose pliers can clip things, fix things in tight places, even do jewelry repairs. Simcox confesses he has snap-ring pliers he rarely uses. "I don't think I've used them for two or three years," said Simcox.
What do you think of when someone mentions a monkey wrench? That's the tool you see in the game "Clue." It's an adjustable wrench that changes sizes - so simple a monkey can use it, according to Simcox. Most people now would choose a crescent wrench, with its smaller, still adjustable head.
Both hardware store workers agree that a cordless drill driver is a handy thing to have in your toolbox. They can range in price from $50 to $200, according to Cheney, but it's something you'll reach for over and over.
The drill drivers have rechargeable batteries and may come with some bits and an extra battery.
"You really do get what you pay for here," said Cheney. He advises customers to be careful to look at battery life and what comes with the driver to make the best purchase for the way they'll use the tool.
Ace also stocks a newer kind of drill driver. "The lithium ion batteries that are so much smaller make this a very handy tool," said Cheney. "It small and lightweight and has a little light and some bits; it's an awesome little tool and definitely something I would buy."
Other items mentioned were a small measuring tape, a flashlight and a hacksaw.
"You could cut through most anything with a saw like that," said Simcox.
He also suggested picking up a picture hanging kit that would contain a small selection of hangers, screws, nails and anchors.
"The tool I reach for most in the summer is my metal file," said Eucker. "I use it to keep all of my garden tools in shape."
Shirley Miller, Kinsman, uses a very short screwdriver with a wide blade all the time. "I never use my heavy duty claw hammer," Miller said.
At the bottom of Gwen Logan's toolbox she says there's a blue plastic thing with holes in it. "I think I am supposed to use it to drill holes just right into something," said Logan. "I am sure it is very handy if you know what it is for or why."
In this difficult economy, Cheney said that most purchasers are pretty deliberate. "We've got guys who come in looking for repair parts for their pricier tools - a new cord, something like that. I would urge people to shop carefully - buyer beware - often you do get what you pay for."
Now is a terrific time to look for the items for a small toolbox. It would make a great gift to give a student or young person who's just starting out. You might even be able to find a gift set that has most of the items these hardware experts suggest.

Immunomodulatory Compound Screening
PRR Ligand Screening Service
InvivoGen offers screening services to detect compounds that activate or block the innate immune system:
- TLR Ligand Screening
- NOD1/2 Ligand Screening
- RIG-I/MDA-5 Ligand Screening
- Dectin-1 Ligand Screening
- Mincle Ligand Screening
Over the past several years InvivoGen has developed a large collection of cellular assays to detect compounds that activate or block the immune system through activation of PRRs with an emphasis on TLRs, NOD1/2 and RIG-I/MDA-5.
These sensitive cellular assays feature engineered HEK293 cells which utilize an NF-kB-inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) or an IRF (interferon regulatory factor)-inducible sLUC (secreted luciferase) reporter gene as the read-out. Ligand-induced activation of the NF-kB or IRF pathways is monitored using proprietary detection assays designed to provide rapid and reliable results.
Short turnaround time - Screening turnaround: ONLY 3 weeks
Screening flexibility - Screening parameters can be selected and/or modified based on customer requirements.
Cost effective - A set-up charge applies for the first compound. Subsequent compounds are heavily discounted.
Reliable - Our screening service has been utilized consistently by leading Biotech and Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutes for many years.
Screening Services
Two choices of services are offered that can be performed sequentially or individually :
• Compound Profiling (level 1): Single dose testing on a set of PRRs.
Screening is performed at a single concentration, typically a 1/10 dilution of the original compound solution provided, or customer specified.
• Compound Dose Response (level 2): Dose response on one or several PRRs
Three concentrations of the compound(s), typically 1/10, 1/100 and 1/1000 dilutions of the original compound solution, are tested on the PRR(s) recognizing the compound(s) as determined in level 1 or specified by the customer.
A detailed report is prepared and provided to the customer electronically and in hard copy. All procedures are performed accordingly to strict guidelines. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
TLR Ligand Screening
The TLR ligand screening service utilizes the HEK-Blue TLR cells.
These HEK293-derived cells are NF-kB-SEAP repor ter cells that stably express a human or mouse TLR gene. The TLR genes expressed are TLR2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9.
Compound profiling: The compound is tested on all human and/or mouse TLRs to determine which TLR recognizes this compound. TLR ligands are typically recognized by a single TLR or potentially two (TLR7 and TLR8). Recognition by TLR4 usually reflects the presence of endotoxins in the sample.
Agonist and antagonist assays can be performed.
NOD1/2 Ligand Screening
The NOD1/2 ligand screening service utilizes the HEK-Blue NOD cells.
These HEK-Blue cells stably express an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene and the human or mouse NOD1 or NOD2 gene.
The compound can be tested on human and/or mouse NOD1 and NOD2.
RIG-I/MDA-5 Ligand Screening
The RIG-I/MDA-5 ligand screening service utilizes HEK293 cell lines that exploit the IRF pathway and a secreted luciferase reporter assay. They overexpress the human RIG-I or MDA-5 gene and are highly sensitive to 5'ppp-dsRNA and transfected poly(I:C), respectively, unlike their parental cell line that expresses low levels of both RIG-I and MDA-5.
The compound can be tested on human RIG-I and/or MDA-5.
Dectin-1 Ligand Screening
The Dectin-1 ligand screening service utilizes the HEK-Blue™ Dectin-1 cells.
These cell lines express different isoforms of the Dectin-1 gene. They also express genes of the Dectin-1-NF-κB signalling pathway, in addition to an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene.
The coumpound can be tested on human Dectin-1a, human Dectin-1b and/or mouse Dectin-1a.
Agonist and antagonists assays can be performed.
Mincle Ligand Screening
The Mincle ligand screening service utilizes the HEK-Blue™ hMincle cell line.
This cell co-expresses the human Mincle gene, genes of the Mincle-NF-κB signaling pathway and an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene.Agonist and antagonists assays can be performed, although as of today no ligand with inhibitory activity on Mincle has been identified.

Re: aikido waza that best train aiki...do
Mark Murray
I disagree, Lynn. If all techniques trained aiki, then there wouldn't be such a commentary going on by all of us who have gone to meet Dan, Mike, Rob, or Ark. You can't get aiki by focusing on the subtleties of connecting, blending, or taking balance. You can't get aiki by training techniques. Being soft and being relaxed isn't going to get you aiki.
This perspective is such a fishbowl. I do not demean what the gentlemen mentioned do ( whatever other differences I may have) -- but it is not necessary to discuss the distinctions to have to"one-up" or demean very traditional aikido training. Aikido has a far wider and deeper range than you, or they give it credit for having. Relying on those with a vested interest in promoting other training, while not necessarily making their points irrelevant, seriously taints the weight of their perspectives --
on aikido
-- which none of them have trained widely in.
I am not at all surprised that some very able people in the surface aspects of aikido, found training in aikido to lack depth FOR THEM. Not all methods and perspectives, even to similar goals, are fitting to all persons. But that is no more damning a comment than it would be to note some people are colorblind or lack perfect pitch. The differences that they see - and they can see differences -- are not the same as differences that other people see. It is pointless to argue that the green is not green or red or an off shade of umber. But their frustration would not be shared by those for whom the green and red are quite plain. To take their perspective on traditional forms of aikido training as being unhelpful is simply a self-selected and biased sample. One should take such evidence with the chunk of salt it deserves -- whatever the value of the training paradigm that may lead them to.

SAGINAW — He's well known simply as "Dr. Bob" in Michigan's medical marijuana circles.
According to state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, he's Dr. Robert L. Townsend, an Osteopathic Physician, licensed to practice in Michigan.
Townsend said he's practiced as an internist for the last 16 years, but since shed traditional medicine to focus solely on making recommendations for medical marijuana patients.
The state website indicates Townsend is based in Kalamazoo, but he'll be visiting Saginaw Thursday evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and plans to meet as many as 25 prospective medical marijuana patients and issue recommendations to those he believes qualify to become medical marijuana patients.
He'll be stationed in the medical marijuana patient screening office Dr. Ruth A. Buck occupied at 2137 Warwick in Saginaw before Drug Enforcement Agents raided it — as well as Buck's and a coworker's home — and jailed Buck.
Buck is charged in federal court and faces 32 charges related to illegally distributing prescription pills, based on a three-year investigation of her previous Thomas Township office that culminated with a raid in July of 2009.
While out on bond, and no longer able to prescribe narcotics because her license had been revoked pending trial, she opened the medical marijuana screening office.
The DEA investigated her practice and allege Buck aided and abetted the distribution of marijuana by issuing medical marijuana certification recommendations to undercover informants and officers without proper justification under state law.
The federal court is currently reviewing requests that Buck undergo a psyche exam.
In the meantime, Buck had issued certifications to 1,900 patients, Townsend said, and with the inability to serve them from behind bars, she reached out for a doctor to take on her clientele.
She chose Townsend.
"I was actually requested by Dr. Buck to take over her patients because she new if they were e turned over to me they would be well cared for," Townsend said. "Dr. Buck has essentially turned her practice over to me, and it's my job to make sure (her patients) are safe... I will meet with them all again as their certifications need to be renewed."
Additionally, Townsend plans to certify new Saginaw-area medical marijuana patients for $150 per certification.
Townsend said, although he said he's never smoked marijuana himself, he saw "there was a tremendous problem with prescription narcotics."
As he attempted to wean patients from their addictive narcotics, he realized those who succeeded generally supplemented with marijuana — this prior to the medical legalization in Michigan.
He said he formed the opinion that marijuana is "a far safe alternative" and "very effective with pain."
Townsend said he travels between offices he operates in Traverse City, Mount Pleasant, Gaylord, Tawas, Cadillac and shortly Saginaw, visiting patients, and claims to have issued "several thousand" recommendations, he guesses between the 10th and 15th most among all Michigan doctors since the law passed in November of 2008.
Townsend boasted he's "never had a certification overturned" because, "quite frankly," he said," All of mine have been done correctly.
He also said he's advised regarding the Medical Marijuana Act.
"I look at every one as one that I need to face a prosecutor over," Townsend said. "I will not allow a patient go to jail."
He said his average patient is a "middle-age, working-class worker who wrecked his back" and has "been using marijuana illegally for a couple years and that has finally worked up the courage to get a card."
Townsend said he plans to eventually hire staff to work at the Saginaw office "at least weekly."
Townsend hopes to meet with each of his patients in person to conduct face-to-face sessions that take approximately 15 minutes, once the patients' medical histories have been pre-screened; but he said he can also meet remotely using a video link.
Says his website: "I am proud to announce a project that will revolutionize the way certifications are performed in Michigan- any patient will have access to a certification from anywhere in the state, patient paperwork can be verified by dispensaries 24 hours a day, we will VASTLY improve our follow up of patients, and data for research into the medical benefit of marijuana will be gathered. You can have a face to face consultation with me from your home in the event you have a change in your condition or have questions."
Titled Michigan Medical Marijuana Network with Dr. Bob and the Certification Crew, Townsend's website contains more information about his mobile and remote certification clinics and screening requirements.

July 13, 1926 - Sept. 3, 2012
Carl J. Stengel Jr., a decorated World War II U.S. Army veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, died Monday in Seneca Manor Nursing Facility after a lengthy illness. He was 86.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Stengel graduated from McKinley Vocational High School before heading overseas to the war in Europe. He served in the 1st Squad, 3rd Platoon, 1st Company, 1st Battalion, 41st Armory Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Armored Division, a unit that was known as "Hell on Wheels."
The unit battled through a bitter winter with the most intense snowfall Europe had witnessed in years.
In 1945, Mr. Stengel was shot and wounded by enemy fire during a battle in Belgium that took the lives of three other soldiers in his unit.
Nerves in his right arm had been severed, and he spent nearly two years recuperating. He spent months learning how to write again with his right hand.
Mr. Stengel was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the European Campaign Medal with two battle stars.
He attended Canisius College and the University of Buffalo, laying the foundation for a successful career as an electrical engineer.
He helped to develop components for NASA at Sylvania Electronics in the 1960s.
He later became an instructor and chairman of the computer technology department at Erie Community College's South Campus. Earlier this year, he was an honoree at an ECC South ceremony honoring veterans.
Mr. Stengel sang in church choirs since he was 10 years old. He was active in 14 Holy Helpers Catholic Church in Gardenville for more than 50 years.
He was a past president of the Holy Name Society and a choir member.
He was also an avid gardener.
He was the widower of Marie Kilcoyne Stengel.
He is survived by a daughter, Mary Theresa Stengel; two brothers, the Rev. Paul and James; and a sister, Sister Carleen Marie, of the Franciscan sisters.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author Matt Fraction brings authenticity to the narrative as a story consultant, and elevates the story beyond the comic and movie universe throughout the video game. Players will take on an array of ancient enemies and beasts from the many worlds of Norse mythology by using different battle strategies and elemental powers. The sacred Mjolnir, Thor's legendary hammer, will allow players to command the powers of the storm: wind, thunder and lightning. By earning Valor in combat throughout the game, players will also be able to select from a wider range of abilities, acquire new attacks, powers and upgrades.
"We are proud to be bringing Thor to his first solo video game adventure" commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America."Thor: The Video Game will finally bring the immense power of this iconic hero to lifelong fans, and introduce the God of Thunder to a whole new audience as a true Marvel Super Hero."
Each version of the game is being developed to take advantage of all five console platforms. The PLAYSTATION ® 3 and Xbox 360 ® version will feature cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers and an upgrade system to bolster Thor's powers as gamers progress. Players will be able to follow the same overarching story in the PSP TM , Nintendo Wii TM and DS TM versions presented in a comic book style, allowing fans to explore new content in the same universe.
While taking its inspiration directly from the mythology of the comics, Thor: The Video Game will launch around the time of the upcoming Thor film adaptation from Marvel Studios.
Brought to the Marvel Universe by the legendary Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber, and penciled by noted artist Jack Kirby, Thor first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1962. Based on Norse mythology, the Marvel character of Thor became a comic book Super Hero both in his own right and as a member of the Avengers alongside comic book icons The Hulk TM , Iron Man TM and Captain America TM . Thor: The Video Game marks the character's progression from mythology to comics, TV, then film and now to interactive entertainment in his first standalone appearance in a videogame.

Plaxico Burress had plans to deep-fry a turkey in peanut oil today. He said he is a "professional" at doing so.
And after eating the main course at home with his family, including his wife and two young children, the Jets receiver figured he would make the Turkey Day dessert rounds. Stopping at the home of David Tyree, his former Giants teammate, for some sweet potato pie. Then banana pudding with Giants running back Brandon Jacobs and family.
On the past two Thanksgivings, Burress was incarcerated in upstate New York, serving a 20-month sentence for illegal gun possession. Today's holiday is all the more special because of that past.
"Talk about being where I was at for the last two years and being able to be home," Burress said Wednesday. "Being able to spend that whole day with your family, you just take it all in. It's a special time for me and my family, and I'm just going to enjoy it."
On a holiday devoted to giving thanks, Burress is simply thankful to be with his family. After each touchdown he scores at home, he trots the ball over to his 4-year-old son, Elijah. His daughter, Giovanna, was born while he was in prison, so this is the first Thanksgiving he'll spend with her.
"It doesn't feel good knowing that you're away from your family during the holidays," Burress said. "It's a special time where you all get together, and you just embrace that time. I'm here this year for the first time in two years and, like I said, we're just going to get together, do our thing, and we're blessed and thankful to all be together for the first time in a couple years."
Burress and his family began observing Thanksgiving earlier this week with philanthropic work in both his native Virginia and New York City. He handed out turkeys and hams on Monday to about 400 tenants in his old Virginia Beach neighborhood. He visited East Harlem's Central Park East Middle School on Tuesday to recognize the top 17 students, who will be at Sunday's game against the Bills, and donate 20 computers.
Ryan excused Burress from two days of practice to follow through on his charitable commitments. Giving back, personally, was something else the 34-year-old missed while in prison.
When Burress returned to the practice facility Tuesday for meetings, teammate Santonio Holmes said they laughed and reminisced about their childhoods. Holmes, who donated 200 Thanksgiving dinners in his hometown of Belle Glade, Fla., said he appreciated that today is "truly a blessing" for his friend.
The Jets are off, which is also the first time in Burress' 10 NFL seasons that he can remember being given the whole Thanksgiving Day at home. He recalled early-morning practices and noon dismissals with the Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Burress will appreciate every extra minute today, because holidays were among his toughest days at the Oneida Correctional Facility.
"Every day was difficult but you know, the Thanksgivings and the Christmases and the Easters and everything like that, even the Halloweens," Burress said. "Just not being there, seeing the emotions and the jubilations on the kids' faces and my wife and different things like that, it hits you a little harder. So that's why every day is real special for me. Especially Thanksgiving is (today), and I get to be home all day. I'm just going to take it all in."

Honda announced today it would recall nearly 140,000 Fits manufactured from 2007-2008 in order to fix a faulty power window switch. The move is part of a worldwide recall involving the last-generation Fit affecting 646,000 Fit, Jazz (Fit in other countries), and City cars, Reuters reports.
Honda says a defective master switch could allow water to enter the power window switch and cause a fire. It's happened several times already: twice in the U.S. and once in South Africa.
In the U.K., a child was killed when a fire started in a Fit. The recall of 2002-2008 Fits in the U.K. will begin near the end of February. There's no word yet on when the U.S. recall will start, as it is not yet been made official through the NHTSA.

MMRDA to dish out rupees 1500-crore road network for motorists in 2012
Milan ROB, Sahar Elevated Road, Eastern Freeway, flyovers at Barfiwala, Panvel and Kapurbawdi to be completed in the next year
By Accommodation Times (www.accommodationtimes.com)
Mumbai, December 29, 2011 – The motorists in Mumbai and Mumbai Metropolitan Region can now add a spring or two to their vehicular movement as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has plans ready to roll out a 26-km road network – worth rupees 1,512-crores – that will ease congestion on roads. The network includes three flyovers, one rail over bridge, one elevated road and the critical Eastern Freeway.
"The very intent of undertaking the Mumbai Urban Infrastructure Project was to improve road connectivity and also provide east-west connectivity. The Barfiwala flyover and the two ROBs at Milan and Dahisar, provide this much needed east-west connectivity. The Sahar Elevated road will establish a direct link to the international airport and the Eastern Freeway will connect eastern suburbs with southern Mumbai. This network is being developed keeping in view the present and future demands of vehicular movement", said Mr.Dilip Kawathkar, Joint Project Director (PR), MMRDA.
The 354-meter southern arm of the Barfiwala flyover was opened to traffic in the month of June this year and the 384-meter northern arm of this flyover is scheduled to be thrown open for motorists in the third week of January 2012. This rupees 24-crore flyover will help motorists reach western side of Andheri and back without having to spend extra time at the busy SV Road signal.
The 1,040-meter long and 24-meter wide rail over bridge at Dahisarhas has also been opened to traffic. "Incidentally, MMRDA is the first agency to erect this type of construction in railway property. Never in the past has it happened that any agency, other than the railways, could erect a rail over bridge in railway property, especially in Mumbai region", said Ms.Ashwini Bhide, Additional Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA. The Dahisar ROB is worth rupees 50 crores.
The rupees 42-crore rail over bridge at Milan subway, Santacruz, is 700 meters long and will provide two lanes each running up and down. This ROB will not only provide the east-west connectivity but also solve the perennial problem of water logging as the area is a low lying area. This crucial rail over bridge is heading for completion in the second quarter of 2012 what with most of the resettlement and rehabilitation issues solved including that of religious structures.
The Sahar Elevated Road is yet another critical road link that will please international travelers arriving in or leaving the city. This rupees 288-crore 2-km long elevated road will provide a dedicated link between Western Express Highway and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The elevated road provides three lanes each for up and down traffic and is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2012. This project is funded under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) with 35% and 15% of the project cost contributed by GoI and GoM respectively.
The Eastern Freeway is one more project that is funded by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. This project is divided in three parts – One, the corridor from P.D'Mello Road to the beginning of Anik-Panjarpol Link Road; Two, the corridor from Anik to the beginning of Panjarpol-Ghatkopar Link Road and Three, Panjarpol to Ghatkopar. The first 9.3-km corridor is worth rupees 531 crores, the second 5-km corridor is worth rupees 148 crores and the third 2.5-km corridor is worth rupees 168 crores – making it a 16.8-km freeway worth rupees 847 crore.
The highlight of the project is the twin tunnel – first in the city – on the stretch from Anik to Panjarpol. The Authority is planning to complete the left-hand-side tunnel, which will provide 4 lanes, by the second quarter of 2012 and the entire project by the end of 2012.
There is development in progress outside Mumbai too. The two very important flyovers – one at Panvel and the other at Kapurbawdi – are coming up outside the city. The 1,700-meter long 4-lane wide flyover at Panvel is being constructed at the cost of rupees 145 crores and the 3,850-meter long and 2-lane flyover with five arms at Kapurbawdi is being constructed for rupees 166 crores. While the Kapurbawdi flyover is expected to be thrown open in the second quarter of 2012, the Panvel flyover is looking at completion by the end of 2012.
"We are confident of rolling out the road network. This year we opened flyovers at Bharatmata-Lalbaug, Maheshwari Udyan-Tulpule Chowk, Barfiwala (southern lane) and Suman Nagar which are serving the city in style. People, normally, take a bit of time to adjust with the new developments and change to newer traffic habits. But, I must say, the city-folks responded to our 11-flyover project splendidly. We now look forward to completing a few other projects in the coming year", said Mr.Dilip Kawathkar, Joint Project Director (Public Relations), MMRDA.

In October 2010 I wrote a post here entitled, "Groundhog Day: The Congressional Insider Trading Cycle." I described the cycle as follows:
- Article in financial press about recent apparent insider trading by members of Congress or their staff, which also notes that insider trading by Congress actually falls through the cracks of what is illegal under the law.
- Follow-up articles by more mainstream publications expressing shock--shock!--that our esteemed representatives in Washington, DC are not subject to insider trading laws like the rest of us.
- Proposed legislation by Rep. Brian Baird (D., Wash.) and Rep. Louise Slaughter (D., N.Y.) called the "Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act" (the STOCK Act) that would explicitly make it illegal for members of Congress and their aides to trade stocks and other securities based on inside information obtained from the legislative process.
- Deafening silence and lack of support from the rest of Congress on the STOCK Act lead to the Act going nowhere ( a total of six congressmen supported the most recent iteration of the STOCK Act).
- Wait 12 months and repeat entire process.
Well, almost exactly 12 months have passed since October 2010, and guess what?! It is time for the media to jump back on the issue of Congressional insider trading. This time, however, some heavy artillery is on the way. The Caucus blog of The New York Times reports that some members of Congress are bracing for an upcoming piece by CBS' "60 Minutes" on whether "their influence and control of legislation gives them a leg up in playing the stock market and making other investments."
Specifically, the Caucus reports, 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft appeared at news conferences held by Speaker John A. Boehner and Representative Nancy Pelosi to ask them about this topic and specific trades made in their accounts. The program's website alludes to an upcoming report by Kroft "on how America's lawmakers can legally buy stock based on non-public information" and the Caucus states that congressional aides have been alerted that the story will air this coming Sunday.
In addition to the upcoming 60 minutes segment, a CNBC interview this week with Jack Abramoff provides more fuel for the fire. Abramoff, a lobbyist who was convicted of mail fraud and conspiracy in 2006, said that about a dozen members of Congress and their aides engaged in insider trading based on market-moving information they learned on Capitol Hill. Many of them, Abramoff said, bragged about this to him while dining at his restaurant in D.C. He recalls that some members of Congress told him they made hundreds of thousands of dollars from their insider trading. "I think it was pretty widely known and it is pretty widely known that it is going on," Abramoff told CNBC.
So come Sunday, we will be firmly in step 2 of The Congressional Insider Trading Cycle. I look forward to seeing this year's version of the STOCK Act, and will prepare myself for the deafening silence that is sure to follow it. See you again in 12 months!

The Forgotten Conservative: Rediscovering Grover Cleveland
By John M. Pafford
240 pages, $27.95
By Gene Warner
Sorry for being so provincial and lurid, but the most interesting nuggets in the latest literary slant on Grover Cleveland date back to his still-murky bedroom escapades prior to his serving as Buffalo mayor.
This is an unusual book, a breezy read – only 161 pages before the book's appendix – that tries to cast Cleveland in a new light, as a conservative, highly religious man.
Forget about the conservatism and the religion for a minute. Author John M. Pafford's quick writing style shines brightest as he refers to Cleveland's affair (although neither was married) with young Buffalo widow Maria Halpin.
In 1874, she gave birth to a son, Oscar Folsom Cleveland, named after both Cleveland and Folsom, his married law partner. Shortly after Cleveland was nominated for president 10 years later, the anti-Cleveland Buffalo Telegraph printed lurid accusations from the pastor of the Hudson Street Baptist Church, claiming that Cleveland was a debauched womanizer who had seduced Halpin, promised to marry her and then abandoned her when she was pregnant, the author writes.
One New York City newspaper editor framed the issue in the most colorful terms: "We do not believe that the American people will knowingly elect to the Presidency a coarse debaucher who would bring his harlots with him to Washington and hire lodgings for them convenient to the White House."
Cleveland, according to Pafford, showed his true stripes in reacting to this scandal. A man of the highest integrity and principles, he neither admitted nor denied being the father. He urged his supporters to tell the truth, and he refused to pin the child's fatherhood on the likely culprit, his old law partner who had since died.
"When supporters attributed his silence to a desire to protect the reputation of his dead friend and partner Oscar Folsom, he angrily rejected the easy tactic of laying the responsibility on a dead man," the author writes.
That's the Grover Cleveland who emerges here, a man of true principle, rather than a politician.
We'll leave it to more dedicated historians to determine how much of this is groundbreaking material on Cleveland, although the author devotes only one chapter to each of Cleveland's two terms. What's new is the emphasis on him being the "forgotten conservative."
Wait a minute. Who ever thought Cleveland was anything but a conservative? He presided over a far different Democratic Party in the late 19th century, a splintered party dominated by pro-business leaders and Southern Democrats who still favored slavery. The party was considered even more conservative than its Republican counterpart.
So the portrait that Pafford carves out here is the traditional Cleveland image, that of a man who favored the gold standard, low tariffs, limited taxes and spending and minimal government interference, a leader who vetoed twice as many bills as his 21 predecessors combined. He also stood out as a man of integrity, conviction and strong religious beliefs.
How is that not an image of a revered conservative?
What comes across here is what a great man Cleveland was. The more interesting angle than the "forgotten conservative" would have been Pafford's suggestion that perhaps Cleveland could have been one of our greatest presidents, if the times had demanded it and if he'd possessed more personal charisma.
Cleveland does stake out a unique claim in presidential history.
Any student who's ever recited the list of U.S. presidents knows that Cleveland's the only one to serve two nonconsecutive terms. What most students may not know is that Cleveland won the popular vote three times in a row; only Franklin D. Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson have done that.
Time and again, Cleveland rose above petty politics, traveling the high road.
And he's one of ours.
As Pafford notes, in quoting Cleveland historian H. Paul Jeffers, Buffalo "offered little in the way of surface graces but brimmed with people of common sense, tenacity and stubborn character. These traits harmonized with Grover Cleveland's spirit of independence, conscientiousness, efficiency, and, above all, honesty."

Sunday 2013-03-03
3 Games look excellent here.
A Madrid v Real Betis
A Madrid are bombing in goals. They have a 100% record at home. The start games fast and score a lot of 1st half goals.
They are second only to Barcelona in over 1.5 first half goals percentage at home with 72% or 8 of 11 games (over 1.5 goals).
Over 1.5 first half goals is 6/4 great price
Man City v Liverpool.
City have to win, to kept touch with United. They will come to play today (have to start with a 442 formation). Liverpool to get hammered, similar to the 2nd half in the Liverpool /Arsenal game.
Man City Home win 1.9 great price. All the goal bets will also be good here. BTTS and over 2.5 goals.
Pescara v Bologna
These are low scoring teams. Go against the BTTS bet here and choose NO to btts . Pescara lead SerieA in NO to BTTS percentage at 73% of their home games. odds are 1.92

A perfect match-up for Stoke against a Wigan team that is not big on defence.
Home win 6/5

Mallorca are on a terrible run away from home. Lost 3 of their last 4 games and have shipped goals.
Espanyol to win it
Schalke are essentially the third best team in the bundesleague (behind Bayern and Dortmund). Comfortable win for them here.
Double of Schalke and Espanyol gives 2.2 to 1 which is a nice way to start the weekend.

English Premier League picks 12/13 Jan
Norwich v Newcastle.
Norwich to return to winning ways against a terrible road team. Small squads (norwich) battle with 3 games in 9 days over Christmas and New Year. They have had a weeks rest, after two very tough games against Chelsea and Man City. Newcastle stink on the road, losing 6 and drawing 4 of 10 games.
Home win here.
Aston Villa v Saints.
Villa are showing relegation form at home. This is a massive game, and Saints have the mettle to win it. Also getting great odds for the away win at 2.8. Saints other big game this season was against QPR away (another 6 pointer). They won that one 3-1. Villa are in free fall ....
Reading v WBA.
Have been doing lot of research looking at which range of starting match odds (home and away) produces both teams to score results (BTTS). This season, in the range there have been 11 games in the PL. 9 times they have produced btts. These odds fall right in the range and I'll run with the stats here.
Everton v Swansea.
Everton were very unlucky to lose to Chelsea two weeks ago. Played them off the park, and should have been 2 nil up. Chelsea, 2 chances 2 goals... 1st one before half time was an absolute sucker punch. No Michu for Swansea = game over = a bridge to far.
Easy everton win here at 1.72

EPL : 4 excellent bets
1) WBA v Fulham
WBA are a very decent home team. At the moment Fulham are in the middle of a major speed wooble. They are not doing anything well. WBA comfortable winners here 1.95
2) Tottenham v Reading.
For whatever reason SPURS are a 2nd half team at home. They are slow starters and get better. Reading are a reasonable 1st half team on the road but are terrible 2nd half. They have lost 9 of 10 second halves on the road, scoring 1 goal and conceding 14. Spurs to win 2nd 45 is 1.66
3) Wigan v Man U
A fresh van Persie awaits Wigan. Maybe Fergie plays hernadez and van Persie up-front in a 4 4 2. Hopefully he does not start Scholes and Giggs. Kagawa , Carrick and Cleverly , Young would be my choice. United with too much fire-power and should win easily. WIgan have conceded 2 goals ina a home game 8 times in 10 this season.
4) Saints v Arsenal.
Expect goals galore in this game. Both are scoring, and Arsenal are bang in form. Is Theo Walcott another Terry Henry (converted winger turned centre forward). Arsenal to win it but will probably conced to The Ricky Lambert threat at a set play.
Over 2.5 goals 1.67

QPR v Liverpool dec 30
Lets look at a few stats here.
QPR are a stinker of a team at home in the 1st half.They have not won a 1st 45 minutes of soccer at home in 9 games. They have drawn 4 and lost 5.Reading are the next worst winning 1 in 9.They have the worst goal production in the 1st 45 minutes (2 goals in 9 matches). They also own the record for the worst 1st half home goal differential of -7 . Only Swansea and Reading have conceded more 1st half goals.
2nd half at home QPR are competitive. They have won 3 and drawn 5 2nd halves.
So they KEY is for them to be up and ready for the 1st half. They have to eradicate the slow starts. Liverpool have kept 1 clean sheet away from home this season.
Last three games away they have shipped goals. Maybe that's a consequence of seeking goals.
A little too attacking and space left at the back.
They have failed to score twice in 9 away games. I would expect them to score here.
QPR have been leaking goals. 1 clean sheet in 9 games , failed to score twice in 9 games.
Be tight, keep it compact and don't concede.
The longer the game remains close, the more pressure Liverpool will feel. Both teams need the win like oxygen.
Both teams are under pressure to produce a win.
A draw is completely unsatisfactory for both
Both teams to score is about 1.69 which is a fair price

Saturday English Premier League Banker
Best bet for Saturday afternoon , EPL is stoke to beat SouthamptonWorst odds of 1.83 for the home win.
Was watching a rerun of the Stoke v Liverpool game last night. Just the 2nd half.
They did many things really well.
Work rate from Stoke was amazing.
Pressed Liverpool deep and never let them build.
Counter attack was excellent. Win ball-quick pass onto a nimble fast runner.
Defensive structure was near perfect for 40 minutes. Never lost their shape. Could see a 4 4 2 structure as plain as day.
No ball watching, or standing still. Pass and move or pick up an attacker.
Other bets that look excellent....
Arsenal v Newcastle BTTS (both teams to score) 1.75
Sunderland v Tottenham (more 2nd half goals) 21/20

The best priced away team in domestic Euro soccer
Who are they ... ?
This is a team that's won 7 of 7 away.
Their average away price has been 3.95
Last week they beat their main league rivals away
They are big favourites this weekend.
Netherlands Eredivsie : Vitesse Arnhem
I like VVV Venlo to get beaten easily by Vitesse Arnhem. Arnhem have it all going for them . 7 out of 7 away win, playing great, fully of confidence, scoring goals. They have conceded 2 goals in 7 away games, which is out of this world.
Away win is 1.63 which is a steal....

Osasuna v Vallecano, Dusseldort v Frankfurt
The Osansuna v Vallecano is a tough one to predict. Osasuna are struggling in Laliga. They need to get something from this game. They cannot afford to play it open.
In their last 4 home games one team has failed to score every time. This makes covering the over 2.5 damn tricky, because if it happens one team must score 3.
Osasuna also have a very low 1st half average goals per game record at home (1 goal scored or conceded in 6 first halves). So the 2nd half has to catch fire or the over 2.5 goals fails.
On the other side you have Vallecano, who are a goal delivering machine. Their 6 away games have resulted in 29 goals. Every away game from this team has been over 2.5 match goals this season.
So does a non scoring Osasuna cancel out a Vallecano goal machine. My feeling is that the answer is YES. Osasuna will be tight, and have to play a cautious game .
Under 2.5 goals is the way I would go if I had to, but prob this is one to just watch from the sides.
Dusseldorf are struggling. They will get into a relegation battle at some stage. They have won 1 game in 7 which is not good enough. Frankfurt had a great start to the season, but are now starting to struggle as well. No wins in 4 away games for them, with only 2 goals scored and 7 conceded. These last 4 away games were pretty tough (Schalke and Bayern).
I feel that they will bounce back tonight and achieve the Away win, probably 3-1.

26th , 27th, 28th Nov soccer picks
Hi everyone.
The obvious pick for tonights Spanish laLiga is
Zaragotha v Celta Vigo
1.8 (various bookmakers) for the over 2.5 match goals. Neither team is great at defending, and both are scoring goals. Celta have been over 2.5 goals in 5 of 6 away games.
If Zaragotha score , they win. They have lost 3 games 0-1 at home this season, but if they score they romp to a win.
This game also looks good for a (both teams to score bet)
BTTS at 1.8 looks a really nice price. These teams are reasonably matched, should be an open game. Both teams are conceding a goal or more almost every match.

Solutions for Chapter 13
The cell voltage will be the same as the cell potential because all the molecules in the chemical reaction are solids or liquids. So the answer is 1.35V
First divide the Watts by the voltage to find Coulombs per second
Then to find moles of electrons divide the answer above by the Faraday constant and by how many seconds are in 365 days.
Divide this answer by 2 because 2 electrons are being moved between the cells and then multiply by HgO molar mass in kilograms.
To find the answer in pounds multiply the mass in kilograms by 2.2

The Laurel Health System has been grinding away and providing solid health care in the Northern Tier for many years.
But effective, broad-based rural health care is a tough task in these times.
So the merger with Susquehanna Health, announced last week, is a solid move for the future of health care in the northern portion of the region.
It will give Laurel Health increased access to top medical specialists and expansion of services in local communities.
At the very least, the Susquehanna Health connection will bring resources and support to recruit physicians and expand services. Patients of Laurel Health will have improved accessed to many forms of health care.
Merging with other hospitals may not be the answer for all health care systems, but in the case of a rurally located entity such as Laurel Health, it improves efficiency, quality and future prospects.
This also increases the effective footprint for Susquehanna Health.

The Republicans' offer to negotiate an end to the government shutdown is lifting nearly every stock on the market today. Luckily for investors in the country's banking giants, the major financials are seeing an even bigger boost.
Much of this has to do with earnings, as a pair of biggies -- JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) -- report their Q3 figures tomorrow. Judging purely by their respective stock prices today, it seems investors are bullish on the numbers both will unveil.
Of the two, JPMorgan is seeing the higher rise. This could have something to do with the company's negotiations with the government over settling at least some of the many legal tangles it's facing. Or perhaps the market is comforted by the bank's healthy diversification outside of the mortgage sector, which is a concern hanging over the more narrowly focused Wells Fargo. At any rate, analysts expect the bank to post a little more than $24 billion in revenue and an EPS of $1.21.
As for Wells Fargo, few expect the firm to post the rock-star mortgage numbers it has in quarters past. The refinancing market that juiced results back then has cooled to far under room temperature, and originations aren't looking so hot, either -- a 30% drop in that figure (to around $80 billion) is anticipated for the quarter. In recent months, thousands of employees in the bank's mortgage sphere have been let go; more will likely follow.
Nevertheless, Wells' share price is outpacing the Dow, indicating that the market expects some kind of earnings beat over the subdued expectations for the quarter. The average analyst estimate for revenue is around $21.2 billion for the period, with EPS anticipated to come it at around $0.97.
Speaking of mortgages, it's interesting to see that a notable executive is moving on from that segment. American Banker is reporting today that Barbara Desoer, most recently the head of mortgages for ever-mighty Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) , has been tapped for a big job by Citigroup (NYSE: C ) . Next week, Desoer will become the chief operating officer of the sprawling company's key consumer banking subsidiary, Citibank N.A.
Citi's new hire adds a female name to a rather heavy male presence at the top ranks of its executive team -- at the moment, of the 23 members of the company's operating committee, exactly two of them are women. Interestingly, one of those two is Jane Fraser, the CEO of (wait for it...) the CitiMortgage division.
Meanwhile, the "executive biographies" page of Desoer's former employer features pictures and blurbs for 11 of its top managers. Four of those people are female.

Kristen Stewart already called their on-screen sex scenes "surreal" – but Robert Pattinson uses other words to describe filming their intimate moments.
"It becomes ridiculous after a while," he tells Parade about what runs though his head when he has to get intimate with Stewart.
"I think the more comfortable you are with each other, the harder it gets to do any kind of really intense relationship scene. You're kind of thinking, 'I don't want to embarrass myself in front of this person.' "
Pattinson, 25, who's been dating his Breaking Dawn – Part 1 costar, 21, for several years, acknowledges the awkwardness, saying, "Watching other people have sex is never going to be that spectacular anyway. It's a strange thing when there's so much hype about it. You are like, 'God, I hope this lives up to it.' "
In fact, the scenes in question actually had to be reshot so as to avoid a R rating by the MPAA, which would limit its audience. (The movie, rated PG-13, opens in theaters Nov. 18.)
"The toughest part was avoiding an R-rating," Pattinson says. "It's funny when people talk about the sex scenes in the book because there are no sex scenes in the book. Go back and read. They always fade to black."
Meanwhile, director Bill Condon told MTV News that the love scenes were "so much more about romance than it was about hot-and-heavy action."
Nevertheless, Pattinson will be showing some skin for the first time in the franchise – and it wasn't without forethought.
"I managed to get through the entire series without taking my shirt off the whole time," he says. "Then, when we did Breaking Dawn, I thought, 'It's the last one. I might as well.' "
"So I kind of worked out to bulk up a little for those scenes with my shirt off," Pattinson continues. "I stopped literally the day afterwards. I find it very boring to work out."

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The latest in a series of attempts to reunite rival Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, came to naught Thursday when Fatah reps walked out of the meeting.
The salient points of the Yemeni initiative call for Hamas to return unconditional control of the Gaza Strip, wrested from Palestinian Authority (PA) forces in a bloody military coup in June, to the Fatah-controlled PA government.
It also calls for early elections and the reestablishment of a Fatah-Hamas coalition and for the formation of a unity government.
Before traveling to Yemen earlier this week, at the invitation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Fatah delegation, led by senior official Azzam al-Ahmed, accepted the Yemeni initiative.
But the Hamas delegation, led by Musa Abu Marzouk, deputy chair of the group's political bureau, was less positive.
Though the Fatah delegation walked out of the meeting, Nabil Abu Rudaineh, a spokesman for PA President Mahmoud Abbas, said Hamas' refusal to sign the draft agreement drawn up by Saleh was responsible for the failed reconciliation attempt.
"Hamas is responsible for the failure of the Yemeni initiative," said Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior advisor to Abbas.
"Our delegation will be heading home tomorrow. We will return to Yemen once Hamas accepts the initiative," he said.
Hamas blames Fatah for walking out of the meeting.
According to Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, the two factions would have reached a consensus over the weekend.
"Today we were surprised to hear that Fatah was withdrawing from the talks under the pretext that Hamas had rejected the initiative," Zuhri said.
"This is completely untrue as Hamas was the first party to welcome the plan. If anyone is responsible for the failure of the dialogue, it's Mahmoud Abbas, who doesn't want reconciliation with Hamas," he said.

"I spent time with him this morning in my office," Leyland said Tuesday. "I think, like a lot of guys, they just want the security blanket of knowing that nothing is wrong."
Leyland said Young "looked fine" and confirmed the 26-year-old outfielder will receive daily treatment. He rode a stationary bicycle and jogged on a treadmill Tuesday.
Young didn't travel to Kissimmee on Tuesday and isn't scheduled to make the three-hour bus ride to Jupiter for the team's game against St. Louis on Wednesday.
He is listed as day to day, but Leyland confirmed Young would be re-inserted in the lineup in the team's night game against the visiting Washington Nationals on Thursday.
"That should make it perfect," Leyland said. "At least two days will get him right back on target."

Vilma Bánky (January 9, 1901 – March 18, 1991) was a Hungarian-born American silent film actress, although the early part of her acting career began in Budapest, spreading to France, Austria, and Germany. Bánky was best known for her roles in The Eagle and The Son of the Sheik with Rudolph Valentino and several romantic teamings with Ronald Colman.
Early life[edit]
She was born Vilma Koncsics[1] on January 9, 1901[1] to János (later John; 1875-1948) and Katalin (née Ulbert) Koncsics (1880-1947) in Nagydorog, Austria-Hungary. Her father was a bureau chief in Franz Joseph's Austro-Hungarian Empire. Shortly after her birth, her father as a police sergeant was transferred to Budapest, and the family relocated. She had two siblings – an older brother, Gyula (later known as Bánky Viktor), and a younger sister, Gisella. After graduation from secondary school, Bánky (as she would later be known) took courses to work as a stenographer, but was offered a role in a film.
Her first film appearance was in the now lost film, Im Letzten Augenblick (In the last moment), directed by Carl Boese in Germany in 1919. On a trip to Budapest in 1925, Hollywood film producer Samuel Goldwyn discovered and signed her to a contract. Both her mother and father were vehemently against Bánky's acting career, as was her fiancé; nonetheless, she left for the United States in March 1925, arriving to a great deal of fanfare.[citation needed]
She was hailed as "The Hungarian Rhapsody" and was an immediate hit with American audiences. The New York Times remarked in its review of her first American film, The Dark Angel, that she "is a young person of rare beauty ... so exquisite that one is not in the least surprised that she is never forgotten by Hillary Trent"[2] (the movie's leading male character who decides to allow his family and fiancee to believe him dead rather than place what he perceives as the burden on them of a life caring for a blinded war veteran).
She appeared opposite silent great Rudolph Valentino in The Eagle (1925) and The Son of the Sheik (1926). Valentino reportedly was fascinated by Vilma, and he chose her as the first lady in the films and Ronald Colman in a series of love stories, including The Dark Angel and The Winning of Barbara Worth. It is commonly believed that her thick Hungarian accent cut her career short with the advent of sound; however, she began losing interest in films and wanted to settle down with Rod La Rocque and simply be his wife. By 1928, she had begun announcing her intention to retire in a few years.
Of her 24 films, eight exist in their entirety (Hotel Potemkin, Der Zirkuskönig [The King of the Circus with Max Linder], The Son of the Sheik, The Eagle, The Winning of Barbara Worth, The Night of Love, A Lady to Love, and The Rebel), and three exist in fragments (Tavaszi szerelem in scattered bits, the first five reels of The Magic Flame, and an incomplete copy of Two Lovers).
Post-acting career[edit]
Her post-Hollywood years were spent selling real estate with her husband and playing golf, her favorite sport. In 1981, Bánky established an educational fund, the Banky–La Rocque Foundation.[citation needed]
Personal life and death[edit]
She married actor Rod La Rocque in 1927; they remained married until his death in 1969. They had no children.[3]
Vilma Bánky died on March 18, 1991, from cardiopulmonary failure, aged 90, but notice of her death was not made public until the following year. She was reportedly upset that no one had come to visit her in her last years, and directed her lawyer to make no mention of her death.[3][4] Her ashes were scattered at sea where her husband's had been consigned.
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Vilma Bánky has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 7021 Hollywood Blvd.

Special Issue Editors
P. Khalil Saucier, Program in Africana Studies and Department of Sociology, Rhode Island College
Tryon P. Woods, Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Crime & Justice Studies, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
The publication of Racial Formation in the 21st Century (University of California Press, 2012), Daniel Hosang, Oneka LaBennett, and Laura Pulido's homage to and elaboration of the classic text Racial Formation in the United States by Michael Omi and Howard Winant (the third edition of which is forthcoming from Routledge in 2013), signals the hegemony of racial formation theory to the study of racism. For nearly three decades, racial formation theory has lent the language through which scholars and students have imagined and engaged the social movements confronting problems of racial equality and justice across the humanities, social sciences, and law. Racial formation theory has played a historically significant role in promoting a specific epistemological engagement with questions of difference, power, and hierarchy more broadly, helping to entrench a paradigm of social thought that encompasses a range of political projects from colorblindness to affirmative action to multiculturalism to coalition politics to intersectionality. Racial formation theory is prominent, either implicitly or explicitly, across the disciplines and interdisciplines, underwriting the conceptualization of not only racial identity, but also sexualities, genders, nationalisms, and other social and historical positions and processes.
Critical Sociology (http://crs.sagepub.com) invites papers for a special edition critiquing racial formation theory. We seek papers that can assist us in exploring the fault lines of this concept, in identifying the power relations to which it inheres, and in adjudicating the ethical coordinates for alternative conceptualizations of the problem of racism and its correlations with sexism, homophobia, heteronormativity, gendered dominance, empire, economic exploitation, and other valences of bodily construction, performance, and control in the twenty-first century. Papers may deal specifically with Omi and Winant's text, or with any other text that implicitly or explicitly uses it as a point of departure. But papers may also demonstrate the wide ranging connections between racial formation theory and a whole host of projects that do not otherwise appear connected but which work together to install and extend the paradigm of difference. Despite the fact that the journal is targeted at a sociological audience, we strongly encourage papers that are interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, or transdisciplinary in nature, or which utilize non-sociological approaches to the theme.
We also encourage book review essays of recent and new publications within the domain of racial formation theory. These should be addressed to the Critical Sociology Book Review Editor, George Sanders, at email@example.com
To submit your proposal, email title, abstract (250 word max), and detailed contact information for primary author to P. Khalil Saucier at firstname.lastname@example.com or Tryon Woods at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "ATTN: SPECIAL ISSUE PROPOSAL" by July 1st, 2013. Authors of accepted proposals/abstracts will be invited to submit articles by September 1st, 2013; all papers are subject to the standard review process at Critical Sociology

In the second half of the 20th century, women with a family history of breast cancer were treated with bilateral mastectomies. Among 639 such women in 1 study, the median length of survival after surgery was 14 years. Using their sisters as control participants, there was a large survival difference between women who underwent bilateral mastectomies and those who did not.1 By the 1990s, after the identification of hereditary breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, an understanding began to emerge about the elevated lifetime risks of ovarian and breast cancers for women carrying deleterious mutations of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.2,3 The effects of these discoveries moved quickly and helped define the extent of genetic heterogeneity and the penetrance of the 17q and 13q tumor suppressor gene regions.

Walcott cleared by FA over Spurs gesture
Arsenal's Theo Walcott will face no action from the Football Association for the 'scoreline' gesture he made to Tottenham fans on Saturday.
After suffering a knee injury late in Arsenal's FA Cup third-round victory at the Emirates Stadium, the England international signalled the scoreline of 2-0 to away supporters as he was carried past them on a stretcher.
In a statement on Monday, the FA confirmed Walcott would not be punished, but reminded the player of his responsibilities.
Arsenal and Tottenham have been asked for their observations by the FA after objects were thrown from home and away sections of the crowd during the match.
Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, revealed Walcott had been pelted with coins prior to his gesture, yet the actions of both sets of supporters are being scrutinised.
The statement from English football's governing body read: "The FA has contacted both Arsenal and Tottenham to seek their observations in relation to objects being thrown from both a home and away section of the crowd at different times during Saturday's FA Cup tie.
"The FA condemns any such acts and will liaise with both clubs and the Metropolitan Police to identify those responsible and support the strongest sanctions available, including life bans.
"Meanwhile, in relation to the same fixture, The FA has contacted Arsenal's Theo Walcott and reminded him of his responsibilities regarding a 'scoreline' gesture he made in front of away supporters during the game.
"The FA will not be taking any further disciplinary action."
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere received a two-match ban last month for "making an offensive and/or insulting and/or abusive gesture" during his side's 6-3 Premier League defeat to Manchester City.
TommyHarmer replied on Permalink
And quite right too ......... as a Spurs supporter I'd like to condemn the twerps who couldn't stand losing AND couldn't stand the fact that Walcott responded humorously to their nastiness. My only concern would be that it was the ambulance men who took the coins rather than him ....... perhaps he should have thought of that.Must remind him that Arsenal supporters did respond in a similar way to Adeboyar ......

Marine Conservation
"The good news is that reefs are resilient—if we act in time, we can restore them."
The Conservancy's Hawai'i Marine Program was launched in 2001 to restore and protect the nearshore coral reefs and marine resources surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands.
Today, less than 1 percent of our nearshore waters and coral reefs are adequately protected. To restore and protect these resources for future generations, the Conservancy is working with local communities and conservation partners in four key areas:
- Science and conservation planning to monitor the health and abundance of Hawaii's marine resources, identify major threats and develop strategies for protection.
- Community-based marine conservation to build local community capacity for marine stewardship.
- Development of new innovative technologies to control the spread of harmful invasive marine species.
- A Marine Conservation Fellowship Program to build a new generation of marine resource stewards for Hawai'i.
Gifts From the Reef
Hawaii's coral reefs and nearshore waters are home to 7,000 marine life forms, a quarter of them found nowhere else on Earth. (Download our award-winning publication The Living Reef.)
These nearshore marine ecosystems support some of the nation's most endangered marine species, including monk seals and sea turtles, as well as rich fisheries that provide an important source of food for Hawaii's people and a deep connection to the traditional culture of native Hawaiians.
More than 300,000 acres of coral reefs surround the main Hawaiian Islands. These reefs serve as nature's breakwaters, sheltering island communities from the destructive power of the sea. They also provide countless other benefits, including the fresh fish, surf and beaches enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
As a source of food, recreation and income, Hawaii's reefs contribute more than $360 million annually to the state's economy—or roughly $1 million a day.
A Resource at Risk
Despite their biological, cultural and economic importance, Hawaii's nearshore marine ecosystems are being altered and depleted at rates that far outstrip current conservation efforts.
With a resident population of 1.3 million and 7 million annual visitors—the majority of whom engage in ocean-related activities—Hawaii's reefs are strained beyond capacity.
Overfishing, sedimentation, land-based pollution, recreational overuse and invasive species all jeopardize the health of our reefs and have resulted in a 75% decline in nearshore reef fish populations over the past century. When combined with the anticipated affects of future climate change, the need to protect the islands' coral reefs has never been more urgent.
The good news is that reefs are resilient—if we act in time, we can restore them.
