Wanted: Logistical innovations!
Carbon dioxide emissions from truck transports are expected to increase drastically, despite the fact that truck motors are now more frugal with fuel. During this year's Transport Forum, researchers from Linköping University (LiU) and Lund University showed that there are no simple solutions to the problem. So where are the innovations?
During a session at this year's Transport Forum on green logistics, both lecturers and the audience agreed that more innovations within the logistics sector were needed.
Within the EU, we are committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by at least 40%, yet we're seeing an increase due to factors such as increased truck transportation and the fact that trucks are often driven only half-full, or even empty.
"Poor logistics offsets the benefits of improved motor technology," argues Maria Huge-Brodin, Associate Professor of Logistics Management at LiU.
Logistics' companies themselves have, until now, been quite uninterested in competing with green offers, but according to Huge-Brodin they're at the starting gate and have been so for the last four years.
"However they fail to see the strategic significance of the environment. There are no regulations forcing the issue, either, and both business models and price models that take environmental costs into consideration do not exist," she claims.
Nor, it seems, is it so easy to determine a green solution i.e. a transport solution that eases the burden on the environment.
Maria Björklund, also an Associate Professor in Logistics Management at LiU, pointed to a number of examples where it was believed things were being made more efficient and green transport was being created, yet the result was the exact opposite.
It's often profitable to use empty transport; goods can be hauled for longer distances without increasing transport work, but in other cases it can mean that transport work increases. It depends on what the last link of the chain looks like.
"It's important to determine the scope you're looking at, the parameters of the system. An individual transport can be made greener, but that means the entire benefit is offset somewhere else in the chain. There are no obvious solutions so continuing on in this way is always good," Björklund argues.
Goods transport is still significantly more efficient than passenger transport, and if we could move some part of passenger transport, which represents 72% of transport work, to the more efficient goods transport then we would make great strides forward." This is according to Lena Hiselius at Lund University, whose research areas includes e-commerce.
However there are no simple solutions here, either. According to the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), increased e-commerce means reduced passenger transport. E-commerce is certainly increasing which today represents 4.6% of retail sales; it is increasing significantly more than the rest of commerce. But so far no effect on transport work has been seen.
The question is, then, how we shop electronically: Does this mean we shop more, or does it replace a few trips to the shopping centre? If we go to the supermarket to test a camera out before we order it on the Net, we've increased the amount of transport instead. On the other hand, perhaps we do our weekly food shopping in connection with looking at cameras, which makes calculating the results even more complicated.
"Research has also shown that the more opportunities we have to travel, the more we travel. If we're closer to the goal, we travel more often, which can result in the same total distance travelled. IT, teleworking, and e-commerce should reduce travel, but we're not seeing any such results so far," Hiselius says.
Several lecturers stressed the need for innovation in the logistics industry.
"Why do universities fail to deliver innovations in this field?" Christina Wolf from IVL in Göteborg, the session's moderator, finally asked.
There are no simple solutions here.
The Transport Forum was arranged by VTI and has been held every year since 1984. This year, more than 1,700 people gathered in Linköping for two days to exchange experiences and listen to new observations regarding transport and transportation research. The conference is divided into 80 different sessions; besides the green logistics, there was also a session on City Logistics, with presentations given by LiU logistics researchers.

The future of village schools in rural Northumberland is being put at risk should Northumberland County Council remove school transport to schools chosen for reasons of religion or belief.
That's the view of Lib Dem campaigner Julie Pörksen as the consultation on faith based school transport nears its June 10 conclusion.
Mrs Pörksen said: "Over many years communities have worked hard to keep their small village schools open across rural Northumberland and any reduction in pupil numbers which could arise from removing faith based transport would really put the long term viability of these rural schools at risk."
At its policy board meeting today, the Labour-led council is expected to approve proposals to introduce charges for post-16 students to save £2.4 million a year.
It means students attending college in Newcastle or Ashington will have to pay the full transport costs, while pupils from outlying areas about to enter sixth form will have to pay £600 to use the same school bus they have previously boarded for free.
"It is very disappointing that the current Labour council seem unable to understand the needs of rural Northumberland and appear willing to make cuts that will cause hardship for rural families and communities," said Mrs Pörksen.
The council says its current approach to school transport is no longer sustainable and alternative options to reduce costs needed to be considered.
The number of students claiming free transport has increased from 800 to 3,500 over the past five years and costs to the council have increased to £3.3 million per year.
The consultation on faith based school transport can be filled in at www.northumberland.gov.uk

WHEN ZLATA FILIPOVIC BEGAN HER DIARY two and a half years ago, at age 10, she wanted to write about all the usual schoolgirl things—"music, friends, maybe boys," she says, smiling mischievously. Growing up in Sarajevo, the only child of a middle-class couple of Muslim, Croat and Serb descent, Zlata was an A student who took tennis and piano lessons and had a passion for pizza, MTV and Michael Jackson. "I wanted to have a happy memory from a happy childhood," she says. "I wanted 20 years after to open that funny book and read the things that happened."
But by April of 1992, the bombardment of Sarajevo had begun, and Zlata's serene little world was shattered. For the next two years her diary—much like Anne Frank's, which Zlata had read—became a chronicle of the suffering and the struggle for survival of a young girl and of all the innocents trapped in the besieged Bosnian capital.
But Zlata's war story has a happier ending than that of Frank, the Jewish girl who died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945. Zlata's diary found its way to the French publisher Editions Robert Laffont/Fixot, which also arranged her family's evacuation to Paris last December. The French edition became an immediate best-seller, 25 foreign editions are in the works (Viking has just published Zlatas's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo in the U.S.), and Universal Studios has paid $1 million for film rights. Critics say that Filipovics diary does not match Frank's as literature, but Zlata's admirers argue that in a world numbed by so many accounts of wartime atrocities, her touchingly naive observations have made people feel once again.
Wholesome, soft-spoken and precociously poised, young Zlata arrived in the U.S. for a promotional tour last week. "So many things! It's strange for me," she says of her unimaginable good fortune. It was not being abroad she found so odd, "but any town where there is peace. When we went to Paris, it was Christmas, and families were together, and people were buying presents, laughing. One moment you're in war, then you're flying, (lying, and you are in peace, in the center of a world of life. It was a shock, but I'm getting used to it."
Zlata began her diary-on Sept. 2, 1991, after a long hot summer spent with her father, Malik, a lawyer, and mother, Alica, a biochemist, and her close-knit family of grandparents, aunts and cousins; ahead was a new year at school. But by spring the sniper fire and bombing from Bosnian Serbs was all around her. "Today a shell fell on the park in front of my house," reads her entry on May 7, 1992. "A lot of people were hurt. AND NINA IS DEAD. A piece of shrapnel lodged in her brain and she died.... We went to kindergarten together.... I cry and wonder why? She didn't do anything." As the siege drags on. water, electricity and phones are cut off, food becomes scarce, and the family is forced to take shelter in "the cold, dark, revolting cellar."
Zlata sees the toll exacted on her parents. ("Daddy...really has lost a lot of weight. I think even his glasses are too big for him. Mommy has lost weight too. She's shrunk somehow. The war has given her wrinkles.") And at moments, she too is overcome with despair. ("I can't take it anymore.... There's a growing possibility of my killing myself.... I'm so sick of it all.") Yet she also enjoys small pleasures and consolations—stripping a cherry tree of its ripe fruit, the friends who found birdseed for her pet canary, the neighbors who shared their meager supplies. "And people laughed, even though it was so bad," she says. "You had to have a light of life there, in that dark, in that hell and death."
Fate intervened in October 1992, when Zlata's diary was chosen from more than a hundred others by Sarajevo authorities who wanted to publish such a document for UNICEF. Journalists began visiting in droves; among them was French photographer Alexandra Boulat, who took excerpts of the diary to Paris and returned with a contract from Laffont/Fixot—as well as the promise to get Zlata and her parents out of Bosnia. Despite assurances from all three warring factions that they would let the Filipovi?s leave, the Serbs withheld permission at the last moment; a few weeks later, just before Christmas, French authorities arranged to have the family flown out on a U.N. plane.
There has since been no surcease from the media and certainly no time to keep up her diary. Zlata has already toured much of Europe, visited Anne Frank's home in Amsterdam and even appeared on TV with Gen. Philippe Morillon, former United Nations commander in Bosnia. She and her publisher are contributing part of the diary proceeds to relief projects, such as distributing 5,000 ski jackets in Sarajevo. Personally, too, Zlata has left a profound impression. Says Susanna Lea, director of foreign rights at Laffont/Fixot: "She's very lovable, very modest and not remotely spoiled. And her moral education is extraordinary. I really admire her parents."
But the Filipovi?s have not fared as well as their resilient daughter. Though reasonably healthy physically, both are emotionally devastated by the carnage they have seen and the separation from parents and siblings. Alica takes tranquilizers; she and her husband, nonsmokers before the war, now chain-smoke. "My mother is quite bad, always crying. My father doesn't cry, but sometimes you can see in his eyes he's also sad," says Zlata.
Zlata plans to attend an English-language school in Paris starting next month, but beyond that the future is uncertain. Because her parents do not speak French and are unlikely to find work, the family is considering moving to Slovenia, where they have relatives. Though Zlata says she "cannot imagine" settling anywhere outside her beloved Sarajevo, she is prepared to accept whatever fate has in store for her. "I don't believe in God, but I believe in destiny," she says. "I think everything is written somewhere. Destiny finds you."

A female hepatitis B carrier, aged 35 years, had received regular liver screenings by ultrasonography. It had been noted for several years that the gallbladder was difficult to locate, and contracted gallbladder was presumed. More recently, a palpable mass of about 5 cm was detected at the right periumbilical area. Hepatic hilar lymphadenopathy was suspected following ultrasonography. The laboratory data were normal. Further ultrasonography revealed a target mass approximately 4 cm between the liver, right kidney, and duodenal gas. The corresponding enhanced axial computed tomographic scans revealed a hypodense mass with central rim enhancement (Figure 1). The reconstructed coronal computed tomographic images revealed a large gallbladder mass with markedly thickened walls and hypertrophic mucosa. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated multiple small cystic lesions within the hypertrophic wall and surrounding the contracted lumen. The gross pathologic specimen is shown in Figure 2.

Brooklyn Prosecutors Investigating Alleged Police Beating of Gay Man
The Brooklyn District Attorney's office is looking into the June 2 beating of a gay man by police who used homophobic slurs outside the 79th Precinct, two officials tell the Voice.
The police officer who appears to have instigated the incident was identified as Kharl Pinnock. Court records indicate he had been named in three prior lawsuits, including a case in which a female motorist's breasts were exposed during a traffic stop.
Meanwhile, supporters, several councilmembers, and and alphabet soup of gay advocacy groups held a short protest/news conference outside police headquarters yesterday. Josh Williams, 24, who suffered stitches on his face, bruised ribs and a black eye, told the crowd he was speaking out because he "didn't want what happened to him to happen to anyone else."
Advocates called on the council to pass the Commuity Safety Act, which would create an inspector general over the police department, and strengthen anti-discrimination laws.

Councilman Daniel Dromm said the incident should be investigated as a criminal act. "It's the police department's job to defend the community, not attack the community," he said.
One of the lawsuits involving Pinnock started with a routine car stop. A woman was dropping off trash bags. The encounter escalated into an argument between the woman and a female officer, and then a shoving match, during which the woman's breasts were inadvertently exposed. The case settled for $15,000.
A senior Brooklyn prosecutor who observed the press conference told the Voice that the incident was under investigation. He declined further comment.

I changed Doctor's from a Family Practice in Sommerville who were rude and Nasty and broke HIPA laws. Doctpr Patel is AMAZING and CARING.....
Excellent doctor!!
I first came to see Dr. Patel and his staff he was very informative on my care and diagnosis. I am happy that he is taking care of me
Dr. Patel has treated me for years. He listens, does not rush his appointments, doesn't seem to overbook and is very understanding. He has a background in Psychology which is very helpful for my diagnosis. I wouldnt trade him for another doctor and I followed him to his current office which is 30 minutes from my house. His former office was 3 blocks from my house. I highly reccommend him!
DR. Patel has been the best doctor. New to New Jersey I was nervous on finding a good primary care doctor especially with underlying health issues. Dr. Patel has been amazing I couldnt ask for a better doctor. He listens, he is very supportive and very encouraging. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful doctor.
So i go see Doctor Rajesh Patel. I tell him im diabetic. And the reason im seeing him is i need syringes to administer my insulin. He says well you havent seen me in a long time so i need to do blood work and so forth. Ok I say no problem. He then asks how have you been getting your insulin. I say well Doctor i buy it over the counter. He says to me thats not true ive been doing this a long time and the pharmacy will get in alot of trouble if they are doing that im going to call them. I said yea call em. He comes back tells me im right. If a Doctor dosent know this simple fact. That you can purchase Insulin over the counter how does he have a degree. And than had the nerve to tell me "thats not true". Anyone can research this just call your local pharmacy and ask if they will sell you insulin. This doctor is a complete waste of a degree.

Fished the Heritage Section from 7:00am til 12:00pm. Caught quite few fish in each spot the biggest about 16". Took the majority of fish on a size 20 olive midge larvae fished on the bottom, followed by a size 20 miracle midge, which took a few fish in the faster water. Caught a few more on a size 20 olive emerger and a size 20 brown emerger tied to the back of the olive midge larvae. Sight fished to catch a few fish in the flat water just above the shop. Olive seems to be a great color, but anything small and fished on the bottom will probably produce a successful day.

When was the last time that you heard a good sermon about loneliness?
Or even a bad one?
"It's been a long time since I gave one just on that subject," confessed the Rev. Scott Wilson, pastor of Mayfield Methodist Church in Chesterland.
In that area, he's not alone.
I hear a lot of sermons in person, on the radio and on CD. I can't recall the last one that truly tackled the topic of loneliness.
Yes, it's mentioned, but usually as part of another message coming from the pulpit.
There are far more songs than sermons about loneliness, even though there are more people dealing with loneliness than what is discussed in many places of worship.
"Songs about loneliness." When I searched online, the first website popping up had 144 titles.
There was Big Bird singing "I'm So Blue!"
And there was Led Zeppelin with a song called "Tea for One," a title that says it all.
The Four Tops had a song titled, "Just Ask the Lonely."
I looked at some of my CDs, starting with Harry Chapin's "Heads and Tales" and found a song called "Everybody's Lonely."
Part of the chorus is: "Everybody's lonely. Everybody's lonely. Everybody's lonely. That's what it's all about."
And at some point, for everybody, that is what it's all about -- feeling alone.
"It's true for a lot people that I talk to," said Sister Mary Ann Flannery, director of the Jesuit Retreat House in Parma.
She said it takes awhile for people to admit they are lonely. They talk about other things, about death, divorces and disappointments in their lives.
"Suddenly, they say they really don't have a close friend," Flannery said.
Or, as Wilson said, "When loneliness hits, it's all that it's cracked up to be. By that, I mean it's draining and seems like it will never end."
Yet, it isn't discussed that often in religious circles, despite the fact that one of the most powerful sections of the Bible is Chapter 26 of Matthew. Jesus begs three of his best friends -- Peter, James and John -- to pray with him.
Jesus is asking his father that he not face the arrest, beatings and crucifixion that he knew was coming.
In verse 38, Jesus tells his friends, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
But they fell asleep.
It makes me think of a song called "Lonely" by Tom Waits: "Lonely eyes, lonely face . . . lonely in your place. . . ."
If you don't like that, how about this from Psalm 25:16: "Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted."
"Too often, we cut ourselves off from others," said Pastor Jeff Bogue of Grace Church in Akron. "I remember someone telling me, 'I can't find a friend.' I asked her if she was being a friend to someone else."
Flannery said, "When we are lonely, we are negative. We forget that God did make us special, that we do have gifts. But we have to give something to others. If we are touching other people in need and suffering more than us, it's hard to be lonely."
Bogue talked about visiting patients in rest homes and hospitals. He suggested working with youth groups.
Wilson said, "It's getting past that fear that paralyzes us and going out to do something for someone else. It's not easy. It takes time. It means we can't always expect people to react to us as we want them to. There is some risk."
And yes, pain.
The Beatles did a song called "Eleanor Rigby" with this chorus: "Look at all the lonely people . . . Where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?"
Those are questions that religious leaders should talk about more often.

Efforts toward Expansion of the Genetic Alphabet: Structure and Replication of Unnatural Base Pairs
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Expansion of the genetic alphabet has been a long-time goal of chemical biology. A third DNA base pair that is stable and replicable would have a great number of practical applications and would also lay the foundation for a semisynthetic organism. We have reported that DNA base pairs formed between deoxyribonucleotides with large aromatic, predominantly hydrophobic nucleobase analogues, such as propynylisocarbostyril (dPICS), are stable and efficiently synthesized by DNA polymerases. However, once incorporated into the primer, these analogues inhibit continued primer elongation. More recently, we have found that DNA base pairs formed between nucleobase analogues that have minimal aromatic surface area in addition to little or no hydrogen-bonding potential, such as 3-fluorobenzene (d3FB), are synthesized and extended by DNA polymerases with greatly increased efficiency. Here we show that the rate of synthesis and extension of the self-pair formed between two d3FB analogues is sufficient for in vitro DNA replication. To better understand the origins of efficient replication, we examined the structure of DNA duplexes containing either the d3FB or dPICS self-pairs. We find that the large aromatic rings of dPICS pair in an intercalative manner within duplex DNA, while the d3FB nucleobases interact in an edge-on manner, much closer in structure to natural base pairs. We also synthesized duplexes containing the 5-methyl-substituted derivatives of d3FB (d5Me3FB) paired opposite d3FB or the unsubstituted analogue (dBEN). In all, the data suggest that the structure, electrostatics, and dynamics can all contribute to the extension of unnatural primer termini. The results also help explain the replication properties of many previously examined unnatural base pairs and should help design unnatural base pairs that are better replicated.

Handcuffing Justice: The Shaky Empirical Foundations of the Feeney Amendment
Max M. Schanzenbach
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Vol. 2, No. 1, March 2005
The United States Sentencing Guidelines greatly restrict the sentencing discretion traditionally vested in district court judges. Since their adoption in 1987, federal judges have criticized the Guidelines more sharply than any other federal law. In 2003, Congress overwhelmingly passed the PROTECT Act. The Feeney Amendment to the Act, added late in the process, imposed further restrictions on judicial discretion in sentencing. Supporters of the Amendment argued that federal district court judges were increasingly departing below the ranges specified in the Sentencing Guidelines. Using data on all federal criminal sentences between 1993 and 2001, this essay argues that the empirical evidence put forward in support of the Feeney Amendment was deeply flawed. While the rate of downward departures increased, much of the increase can be explained by a number of potentially relevant variables such as type of offense, the offense level, district of sentencing, and offender characteristics. In addition, even though downward departures were more frequent, total prison sentences did not change during this time period because departures were smaller in magnitude. I find no evidence that the increasing number of Democratic appointees on the federal district court bench affected prison sentences or downward departures. Most importantly, there is no evidence to support the argument that judges were ignoring the Sentencing Guidelines. The percentage of prison sentences explained by explicit Guidelines factors changed little over the time period. I conclude that the radical reform undertaken by Congress was poorly informed.

At one time, the Top 100 list was being updated pretty regularly, and it more
effective when it was updated more often.
Also, the original instructions for the RDJ included suggestions to set up a
cron job to automate the process.
Where would you suggest a person should listen to find out that it't time to
manually intervene and get any changes? I don't have a problem removing the
cron job, but I don't want it to turn into an unmaintained appendage.

The husband of a woman found stabbed to death Sunday in her Fuller Place home has surrendered to the FBI, authorities said today.
Travis Gillispie, 36, surrendered to the FBI Task Force Tuesday in connection with the killing of his wife, Marilyn Gillispie, 51. He was charged with murder and weapons offenses and is being held in the Essex County Jail on $500,000 bail, authorities said.
Detectives from the county prosecutor's homicide squad had obtained an arrest warrant and an affidavit by a Superior Court judge. But Gillispie turned himself in.
Police found Marilyn Gillispie's body in the couple's home Sunday afternoon after her son reported he could not get in touch with her.
Although the body had visible puncture wounds, the death was not immediately ruled a homicide. Following an investigation by detectives, it was determined the victim had been stabbed to death.
Travis Gillispie allegedly stabbed his wife following a domestic dispute, authorities said.
At least for the past year, the police had not responded to the couple's home for domestic violence complaints, Police Chief Michael Chase said today. It was the township's third homicide so far this year.

ELKINS - Area school systems have been working throughout the summer to get ready for a new school year. Local education leaders say they are excited to get the year underway and are ready for students to take their seats.
"We are very close to having everything ready," Randolph County Superintendent of Schools Terry George said. "Crews are out checking the buildings to make sure they are ready for the first day."
Randolph County students will return to the classroom on Thursday, but teachers have already hit the classrooms to be ready when students arrive.
"Teachers have been in the buildings getting them ready," George said. "We feel we are pretty well ready."
The earlier start to the school year will help ensure the school system meets the state-required 180 days of instruction, but it has caused some issues with the delivery of supplies. He said the school system is still waiting on some items to make it to the county.
"They all should be here before school starts," George said. "It is going to be an exciting year, we are going to get 180 days in this year. Our teachers have been planning and are ready for it."
George said a new supplement math program, Reasoning Minds, will be implemented in second and third grades. The new program, which is separate from the core math program, will help improve students' math proficiency.
"We plan to introduce the program in other grades in coming years," George said.
He noted teachers are also preparing to get students ready for a new statewide assessment this year. He said the Smarter Balanced Assessment will replace the WesTest 2 during the current school year.
"It is always exciting for the first couple of days," he said. "I am going to try to visit every school in the first couple days."
Students will also return to classrooms in Tucker County Thursday. Superintendent Dr. Eddie Campbell addressed the possibility of Harman-area students attending Tucker County schools while repairs are made to the Harman School.
"I don't anticipate getting more than 20 students from Harman," Campbell said. "Since the ceiling collapsed we have had dozens of calls to the board office, Davis Thomas and the high school.
"We have a bus stop within a mile of the Randolph County line, so any students who do transfer won't have to go far to catch a bus.
"Students will attend both Davis-Thomas (Elementary/Middle School) and the high school. At present we have room for more students in all grade levels with the exception of sixth grade at Davis-Thomas Elementary/Middle School - it is full," Campbell said.
Harman School - in Randolph County - was deemed unsafe after an entire plaster ceiling fell in one of the school's classrooms during the July 4 weekend, bringing down 2 tons of material. No one was present at the time in the school, which was built in the 1950s.
MSES Consultants estimate emergency repairs to make the school safe for students will cost approximately $175,000.
"Any student who transfers to the middle school can play sports immediately. as well as any student who is in 9th grade. (However) 10th, 11th and 12th graders would have to sit for 365 days.
"We are trying to accommodate those families looking for alternatives as much as possible," Campbell said. "We want those students to have a good school year and things like this unfortunate incident are out of their control. County lines should not get in the way of providing all children with the best opportunity to learn."
Campbell said Tucker schools will have several new features this school year.
"One of the things we are excited about is a shift in focus in our gifted program," he said. "We are going to have a single classroom at the high school where students of all grades will spend a day at TCHS."
He said every day of the week, two grades of gifted students will travel to the high school for the new project-based learning program. Tucker County Schools have been developing the new program for more than a year.
"We will get to work with these students more to enrich their education and use their talents," Campbell said. "We are really enthusiastic about moving forward."
He explained that students in the program will select the projects they want to work on. He said the program will be cross-curricular, with students crunching numbers, doing research and writing reports. He said over the course of the year the students will develop an in-depth project that covers a subject they are interested in.
"Gifted students can become bored in the regular classroom," he said. "The new course will be really in-depth. The students will be with another grade level and with students from another school."
Campbell said the county only has one gifted teacher and the new format will allow more time to be spent with the students.
"We think it goes hand in hand with Common Core," he said. "We think it relates very well."
He said crews are working to finalize everything at the schools now.
"We will be ready," he said. "The maintenance staff has worked all summer. We feel very confident with the start of school."
Campbell said Tucker Valley and Davis-Thomas elementary schools will both have new principals for the year. Melinda Moss will take the helm at Tucker Valley and Alicia Lambert will be the new principal at Davis-Thomas.
Barbour County Schools Superintendent Dr. Joe Super said officials are looking forward to the return of students in the county classrooms Wednesday.
"It is going to happen whether we are ready or not," he said. "We are as ready as we can be."
Super said staff is moving to get students ready for the new statewide assessment and to work with the new school calendar.
"They have a great indirect impact on our kids," he said. "The change in assessment will be a big change."
Super said with school getting ready to begin he wants motorists to slow down and be more careful when traveling.
"I want to encourage everyone to drive a little slower and be cautious of our buses," he said. "We are getting another year off and running and I am excited to see the kids back in our buildings. It is a new year with new opportunities."

Roadways like, Route 61, 222, and 422 were in fine condition thanks to PennDOT crews.
It wasn't until we traveled to Tilden Township where the winds were at their most severe.
Many drivers we spoke to said they had an easy time getting from point a to point b.
Several areas of Berks County did not receive as much snow as other parts of the viewing area, and many drivers said they were happy that they were able to dodge a bullet, compared to the snowfall in areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Warning: Baseball Mere Inches From a Tragedy
So what are the serial dawdlers doing at Major League Baseball, waiting for someone to die in the infield? Over the past 19 months, we?ve seen five pitchers struck in the head by scorching line drives, not surprising when a vulnerable human being is only 55 feet from home plate once he delivers the ball and completes his follow-through. Brandon McCarthy suffered a cracked skull and epidural hemorrhaging and underwent emergency brain surgery. J.A. Happ?s skull was fractured. Alex Cobb was nailed by a 102-mph laser and missed two months. Doug Fister took a liner off his noggin in a World Series game.
And now, in a scene that left grown men distraught and shaking at a ballpark in Arizona, Aroldis Chapman was drilled in the face by a shot that seemed to come at him even faster than his recorded 99-mph heater. Like the others, he is fortunate to be alive. A bone was broken above his left eye, requiring a metal plate to be surgically inserted, but Chapman suffered no other serious injuries. ``A very lucky guy,?? said Tim Kremchek, the Cincinnati Reds? team doctor. ``If you get hit in the side of the head, that could be disastrous. Where Aroldis got hit, you don't want to say he got hit in a good spot because he's undergoing surgery, but it could have been a lot worse, a lot more injuries, a lot more permanent.??
Next time, the victim won?t be so lucky. As if baseball hasn?t had enough issues that have damaged its once-lofty place in American sports, the masses are being subjected to repeated beanings that leave us collectively sick to our stomachs. ``Honestly, when I saw it, I wanted to cry. It was very scary,?? said Reds catcher Brayan Pena, Chapman?s fellow native Cuban and friend. ``It was very scary because I saw the line drive going straight for his face, and then I saw him bleeding and kicking and moving around the way he was.?? If it happened once, we could call it a freak occurence. Or twice.
But five times? The next beaning could be a tragedy.
Commissioner Bud Selig thought his office had addressed this issue when MLB, after testing nine models, approved a padded cap in January. But the isoBLOX Protective Cap immediately was panned by none other than McCarthy, who dismissed it as too big and bulky while noting that the cap stopped at the top of the ears when line drives had struck him, Happ and Cobb below the cap border. The caps include an inch of padding on the sides and a half-inch in the front and weigh in at 11 ounces, eight ounces more than the basic model. The company claims the cap can absorb cranial impact up to 90 mph.
McCarthy, who actually worked with isoBLOX on the project, says the padded cap is too cumbersome and would hamper his focus on the mound. This might explain why the caps were sent back to the shop and haven?t been available to major-league teams this spring. It?s typical of the Selig administration to claim progress on a serious issue ? see: performance-enhancing drugs ? only to realize it screwed up while sheepishly walking away with its head up its ass. How long has it taken to implement expanded replay? Naturally, it won?t be available in Australia for the Dodgers-Diamondbacks season openers this weekend, which creates an instant asterisk controversy if those teams are in a close race in the regular season?s final week.
``It just needs to keep making progress, and I'm confident that it will," McCarthy told MLB.com. ``The company is committed to keep moving forward and making the changes, but it's hard to say when I would wear it or when it would be ready on a personal level for me. It?s not game-ready.
``They came to me with their original prototype, so I've kind of consulted with them and gone back and forth hammering out some issues and kind of making it a game hat. The only issue is it's still not there. It doesn't have enough wear and tear in it yet to see how it basically reacts to game (situations). Does it feel good over the course of a few innings or games? The times I've thrown with it were indoors where it's 55 or 60 degrees, but what happens if it's 90 or 100 and you sweat? Those are kind of the issues that we have to get past. Once that becomes a conscious thought, now you kind of start tearing away (at) the foundation of what you are as a pitcher.??
No major-league pitcher is wearing the model, which hangs over the forehead and ears like a limo driver?s cap. An MLB spokesman said pitchers are welcome to be fitted by their team?s equipment manager and send in the measurements for their customized caps.
Um, this is not the urgent treatment a crisis warrants. Selig and his men should be working post-haste with McCarthy and other pitchers, medical experts and tech people to design a compromise cap that is comfortable and safe. This process cannot take years or months, but weeks.
If not?
Call the pallbearers. A baseball, if Bud Selig hasn?t noticed, is a lethal missile.

I love to cook! When I am in the kitchen preparing a meal, I feel as if I'm creating a masterpiece.
Cooking relaxes me.
Cooking inspires me.
I haven't received any formal training. Many of the Mexican dishes I prepare are ones that my grandparents made for me when I was a child. Others, I have learned from my mother-in-law. But most of my recipes are my version of some of my favorite foods.
Living in a small town in Mexico, where convenience foods aren't readily available, I have learned to make just about everything from scratch.
Join me on this journey, as I share recipes from my kitchen in the heart of Mexico.
With Love,
Leslie Limon

I would like to thank you for your wonderful website. I have a passion for cooking as well, and Mexican foods are my favorite! I am just learning how to cook them more authentically, and I look up recipes often when I can find the time. I stumbled upon your website a couple of days ago and I have been looking over it and over it and I am in love. My goal will be to make all of your recipes as soon as humanly possible!! My boyfriend also thanks you, he is from Laredo he is absolutely ecstatic, as he dearly has missed these foods. You are awesome! Keep em' coming! Thank you so much.ReplyDelete

How to Attack Black Friday Like a Ninja Shopaholic Jedi Masteramywindsor
Yes, I know it seems like November just started and you probably haven't even packed up the Halloween decorations yet — but it is time to start strategizing your Black Friday Shoppapalooza because it is less than three weeks away!
Haterz gonna hate, but you will have the last laugh when you are done with all your holiday shopping by the end of Thanksgiving weekend and know that you've saved possibly hundreds of dollars while doing it.
Like it or not, Black Friday has become part of the American holiday season. In fact, it seems like you can't get away without a plan in place ahead of time, what with the massive crowds, the fact that pretty much every major retailer is in on the action, that the deals really are that good, and that it all takes place at ungodly times in the morning when one is better suited to sleeping off the food hangover from the excesses of the day before.
The first step, according to Consumer Reports, is to shop the Black Friday ads. It's like The Art of War up in here, people: You have got to know your enemy.
A few of the best sites for finding all the biggies' (Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us, Best Buy, etc.) Black Friday ads in one place are blackfriday.info, theblackfriday.com, and bfads.net. Some of the sites even let you filter the sales by the name of the item you are hoping to get. Don't forget to take the location of stores into consideration when deciding where you're going to buy. It might make more sense to spend a little more to buy all your toys at one shop, rather than humping all over town just to save ten bucks and could save you the heartbreak of driving across town only to find out the item you saw two stores ago, but didn't buy because the price was better somewhere else, has sold out.
Check online first because if you can avoid going out into Black Friday madness and order up your wish-list via laptop from your bed, then go for it. Some stores will extend the same deals to their online shoppers as their in-store patrons, which might make a slightly more expensive price tag worth every penny in convenience. While you are checking the store's policy on internet sales, sign up for their email alerts — they might offer extra discounts or notify you of sale items not advertised in their circulars.
Be on the lookout for QR codes. Be sure you have a QR reader installed on your smart phone so you can scan in any of those black and white barcode-like squares that you may find in the holiday shopping sections or on retailer's web sites. Consumer Reports suspects that shops will be targeting these forward-thinking "mobile shoppers" and may offer special discount codes to those who check them out.
Be aware that sometimes you get what you pay for, meaning: be sure to double-check the return policy and warranty of especially marked down items. The manufacturer and retailer may have been able to work out that great price by sacrificing some of the privileges that you would normally expect from them.
On that note, don't buy something just because the price is great, buy it because you need it. Everything in the stores will be set up to make an impulse shopper's head (and wallet) explode — don't fall for it. If you do your research, you can walk into the stores and get exactly what you want without getting swayed by big displays, "unbelievable" prices, or salesperson up-sells. Don't forget that because of your forethought and planning, you still have a whole month to take care of any accessories your big purchases might need (like cables, batteries, camera straps, bags, etc.) online and probably for a better price.
Good luck and happy shopping! Oh, and did I mention that Amazon has already started their "Countdown to Black Friday" Gold Box Deals?

text: Explore Northern Luzon The Zambales Coast The Lingayen Gulf Ilocos The northeast The Cordillera Banaue and around Batanes Share The tribes of the Cordillera – often collectively known as the Igorots ("mountaineers") – resisted assimilation into the Spanish Empire for three centuries. Although they brought some material improvements, such as to the local diet, the colonizers forced the poor to work to pay off debts, burned houses, cut down crops and introduced smallpox. The saddest long-term result of the attempts to subjugate the Igorots was subtler – the creation of a distinction between highland and lowland Filipinos. The peoples of the Cordillera became minorities in their own country, still struggling today for representation and recognition of a lifestyle that the Spanish tried to discredit as unChristian and depraved. The word Igorot was regarded as derogatory in some quarters, although in the twentieth century there were moves to "reclaim" the term and it is still commonly used. Though some Igorots did convert to Christianity, many are still at least partly animists and pray to a hierarchy of anitos. These include deities that possess shamans and speak to them during seances, spirits that inhabit sacred groves or forests, personified forces of nature and generally any supernatural apparition. Offerings are made to benevolent anitos for fertility, good health, prosperity, fair weather and success in business (or, in the olden days, tribal war). Evil anitos are propitiated to avoid illness, crop failure, storms, accidents and death. Omens are also carefully observed: a particular bird seen upon leaving the house might herald sickness, for example, requiring that appropriate ceremonies are conducted to forestall its portent. If the bird returns, the house may be abandoned. Read More

Monopoly cards come to mind.
Trade a funeral home for a church, a Cadillac dealership for a self-storage facility, and shuffle some restaurant cards.
Then you'll have an idea of what's happening on the curvy, linked portions of Paramount and Olsen boulevards that connect Interstate 40 to Western Street.
"I think there are some redevelopment opportunities there," said Justin Kite, a retail specialist for Coldwell Banker Commercial in Amarillo. "If people have success doing that, I think you'll continue to see more people follow."
New development on Georgia Street and the rise of the new Western Crossing shopping center at Interstate 40 and Western Street should have a positive impact on the Paramount area, commercial real-estate broker J. Gaut said.
"There's just no reason why that street should not do well from here forward," he said.
Last year's exits of two longtime Paramount businesses - N.S. Griggs & Sons Funeral Directors and Gene Messer Cadillac - left properties that other entities are reconfiguring to their needs.
Kingdom Keys Church more than doubled its footprint by moving from Wellington Square to the 12,000-square-foot Griggs building at 2615 Paramount, pastor Ricky Pfeil said.
N.S. Griggs vacated the building last October after it merged with Schooler-Gordon Funeral Directors to become Griggs-Schooler-Gordon Funeral Directors, Pfeil said.
The building sold for close to the listing price of $595,000, according to Leon Swift, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Commercial who represented the church in the transaction.
Another Attic Self Storage plans to convert the former Cadillac dealership into an indoor mini-storage facility, Another Attic owner Paul Fields said.
"It's relatively hard to find any vacant land in that area," he said. "We feel like there is (self-storage) demand there because of several businesses in the area and residential (neighborhoods) in all directions, basically."
The property garnered close to its $850,000 asking price, according to Gaut, who represented Another Attic in the transaction.
Shifting tides
The ebb and flow of businesses in the neighborhood doesn't worry Stephen Deane, owner of Malcolm's Ice Cream & Food Temptations at 2100 Paramount.
"I would become more alarmed if there were several vacant places in and around me, but I'm just not seeing that," Deane said. "My business is still good and booming, and if I had an opportunity to move, I wouldn't."
Two businesses - Ruby Tequila's Mexican Kitchen and Michael's Arts & Crafts - will leave the Paramount/Olsen stretch as 2009 begins.
Ruby Tequila's will move its flagship Amarillo location at 2108 Paramount to a building to be constructed at Wolflin Village at Wolflin Avenue and Georgia toward year's end.
The chain has not determined if it will sublease the Paramount property, Director of Development Mark Prickett said.
Michael's will move from its current location at 3801 Olsen Blvd. to the Western Crossing shopping center, now under construction, in the first quarter of 2009, according to Karen Slayton, real-estate manager for the chain.
Some gaps in the neighborhood occurred more recently, such as a closed Long John Silvers at 2014 Paramount.
Only a foundation remains at 3350 Olsen since a 2003 fire destroyed an unoccupied Olsen Manor Nursing Home in the midst of remodeling.
Real-estate investors from Wheeler purchased the site a couple of years ago but have no plans for developing it, Kite said.
And, no tenant has moved into a building at 2701 Paramount left behind by women's-clothing retailer j. Winston, which moved to Wolflin Village in September, according to Gaut, whose firm is handling leasing of the property.
However, a long-vacant The Kettle Country Kitchen at 3301 W. Interstate 40, at the highway's intersection with Paramount, is active again. The Eagle Diner opened there last month, with a menu of American fare, employee Doug Stone said.
Owner Carl Lollar operated the business in Canyon, then Claude, before moving it to Amarillo, Stone said.
In addition, Las Brisas Southwest Steakhouse will open in September at 3311 Olsen Blvd. converting a restaurant-turned-law-office back to a restaurant.
The move is a homecoming of sorts for the Lubbock-based Harrigan's Restaurants, which operates Las Brisas stores, because the site once housed a Harrigan's Chop House Grill, spokesman Chuck Luck said.

Leaders of Turkey and Jordan are calling on Syrian leader Bashar Assad to stop military attacks on civilian protesters.
In recent days, Syrian forces have killed more than 30 people in a crackdown on Latakia, the country's largest port city. On Sunday, gunboats joined Syrian troops in shelling areas with many women and children.
During the past five months of turmoil, Assad has banned the foreign press. So the stories of large street protests and brutal violence come from opposition cameras.
Pictures sent from Latakia this weekend showed the crowd chanting, "This nation wants to topple the regime!"
The Assad regime's continued brutality is galvanizing international opinion. There has been a crescendo of condemnation, not only from the world, but in particular from the region.
Strong words came from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but with more than 2,000 Syrians killed to date, there is still no call from President Obama for Assad to go.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah called the Syrian government a "killing machine" and pulled the Saudi ambassador more than a week ago. Many Arab leaders are angry that Assad has his tanks in the streets during Islam's holy month of Ramadan.
The U.S. and Europe are still focused on sanctions as a way to push Assad to end the violence.
"We urge those countries still buying Syrian oil and gas, those countries still sending Assad weapons, those countries whose political and economic support give him comfort in his brutality to get on the right side of history," Clinton said.
The Spanish newspaper El Pais reports that Spain has quietly offered asylum to Assad if he'll stop the violence and begin reforms. That offer is likely to be rejected, and the Syrian opposition can expect to see more tanks in the streets.

In spite of the current research emphasis on various factors considered to contribute to bacterial contamination of the newborn, there is still argument (almost entirely verbal) about the influence of vernix caseosa on bacterial colonization of the skin. Some insist that vernix possesses antibacterial action and so recommend that it be rubbed into or at least left on the skin. Others think that vernix favors the growth of bacteria, that dried vernix disperses organisms in the nursery, and that, therefore, all infants should be carefully washed to remove it. This paper presents the results of experiments designed to determine the action of vernix on bacteria in vitro and on the skin of newborns.

Johnson C. Smith University to Host Diversity in Medicine, Aetna Foundation Event to Attract Minority Students to Medicine
Hartford, Conn. (February 13, 2012) -- Tour for Diversity in Medicine, a new initiative by a group of Boston and Chicago-based physicians, will stop at Johnson C. Smith University Feb. 21 to offer a day of premedical enrichment activities to students from area colleges, universities and high schools. The free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Grimes Lounge on the Johnson C. Smith University campus.
The tour is led by 11 doctors, dentists and medical school students from minority populations who are traveling to five historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the South. It is made possible with a $210,000 award from the Aetna Foundation. Tour for Diversity in Medicine aims to provide college students of color with a wide range of information and advice to plan for careers in medicine and dentistry and ultimately diversify the health care profession. Although minority populations comprise more than 26 percent of the U.S. population, African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans combined represent only about 6 percent of practicing physicians and 5 percent of dentists.
Alden Landry, M.D., an emergency room physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and co-director of Tour for Diversity in Medicine, said, "Our goal is to increase interest in health care as careers for students from minority populations and help them overcome perceived barriers to medical and dental school, such as high tuition costs, long training and a challenging application process. By offering workshops with established health care practitioners from similar backgrounds to theirs, we believe we can open the pipeline for talented young people of color who can make a significant difference in improving health care in the U.S."
Landry noted that research has found that patients who receive care from physicians of the same race rate their medical visits as more satisfying and report being more engaged in their treatment than do patients who see physicians of other races.
Gillian Barclay, D.D.S., Dr. P.H., vice president of the Aetna Foundation, said, "As our nation's population becomes increasingly diverse, we need health care providers who have the cultural competency to engage their patients fully with their treatment and ensure good health outcomes. Multiplying the number of men and women from underrepresented minorities is a fundamental strategy to achieving health equity in the United States. The Aetna Foundation is pleased to be the Tour's founding sponsor and support this innovative initiative as part of our portfolio of programs aimed at developing health care leaders from underrepresented communities."
Session topics range from the application process and admissions tests to choosing the right specialty to an overview of health disparities. Students will have the opportunity to interact with the presenting physicians, dentists and medical students and hear their stories about how they overcame obstacles to pursue a career as a health care professional.
"Without the assistance of mentors over the years, I would not be a doctor today," said Kameron Matthews, M.D., J.D., co-director of the Tour for Diversity in Medicine and a family physician in Chicago. "We want to connect students with physicians and dentists who are dedicated to their growth and their future."
Students may register online at www.tour4diversity.org. For more information contact Melita Mitchell at 704-378-1041.
Planning is already underway for two more tours, one in fall 2012 to colleges with large Latino populations and another in spring 2013 to colleges with significant Native American populations.
Landry, Matthews and other health care providers on the Tour for Diversity in Medicine plan to blog, tweet and use other forms of social media on their weeklong February trip to the HBCUs. People are invited to follow on Facebook and on Twitter @Tour4Diversity or visit tour4diversity.org.
The Aetna Foundation supports multiple programs to create a diverse group of health care leaders from today's young people, including the AcademyHealth/Aetna Foundation Minority Scholars Program, Four Directions Summer Research Program, the Aetna Foundation/National Medical Fellowships Healthcare Leadership Program and the National Academy Foundation.
About the Aetna Foundation
The Aetna Foundation, Inc. is the independent charitable and philanthropic arm of Aetna Inc. Since 1980, Aetna and the Aetna Foundation have contributed $394 million in grants and sponsorships, including $15.6 million in 2010. As a national health foundation, we promote wellness, health, and access to high-quality health care for everyone. This work is enhanced by the time and commitment of Aetna employees, who have volunteered more than 2.3 million hours since 2003. Our current giving is focused on addressing the rising rate of adult and childhood obesity in the U.S.; promoting racial and ethnic equity in health and health care; and advancing integrated health care. For more information, visitwww.AetnaFoundation.org.
About Tour for Diversity in Medicine
The Tour for Diversity in Medicine (TDM), a project of Hip Hop Health Inc., seeks to educate inspire and cultivate future physicians of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds by forming local connections in order to fulfill a national need. Conceived by former medical student leaders, TDM will bring premedical enrichment activities to underrepresented minority undergraduate students in order to assist with the diversification of the health professions workforce. TDM is a grassroots effort, with its inaugural tour in February 2012 across five Southern states. Visit tour4diversity.org for more information.

I think this is a great idea. We have all those vases from flowers and just plain old glasses. Going shopping today for the supplies in each color. Hope they have them at Michaels.

This looks like great fun. I can't wait to try it. I'm going to try it on various empty candle jars I have saved. I'll color coordinate them and use them in my bathroom to hold my cotton balls, cotton swabs, etc. I use a clear glass vase to hold my toothbrushes already, and I think I'll embellish it to match the candle jars. Get me to the craft store!!!

text: As a retired history teacher, I recall that each year, my most challenging goal was to instill in my students an appreciation for the importance of the past. "The present," I opined, "is really the past in the process of creating the future." If my words failed to inspire, I would introduce students to the thoughts of great authors like William Faulkner who wrote, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." But alas, I fear that even the world's most profound thinkers, past or present, would have great difficulty convincing eighth graders that there is any value in the study of history! Perhaps many Americans feel the same today.
