JOHN THOMAS had found a friend in Jesus, and a friend in Murray Seidman.
"Jay," as his friends call him, had immersed himself in Mormonism and was quoting Scripture to anyone who would listen. Try to talk about the Eagles, he'd steer you back to God.
Thomas, 28, had become a priest in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he used that authority to baptize Seidman, 70, a mentally handicapped hospital worker whom Thomas had met at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Delaware County.

Purpose: Lens storage case hygiene practices are important for safe contact lens wear. However, the effectiveness of the manufacturer's direction for use and various cleaning regimens in reducing biofilm load is yet to be evaluated and compared. This in vitro study compared the effectiveness of several cleaning methods using silver-impregnated lens case and hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems.
Methods: Biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 122 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 were grown in silver-impregnated and hydrogen peroxide lens cases. After the establishment of the biofilms, the silver-impregnated case was subjected to one of four cleaning regimens: "manufacturer's directions for use—rinsed and recapped"; "rubbed, rinsed, and recapped"; "rubbed, rinsed, and air dried"; or "rubbed, rinsed, tissue wiped, and air dried." Hydrogen peroxide cases underwent one of two regimens: "manufacturer's directions for use—rinsed with saline and air dried" or "soaked in solution for 6 hrs." The level of residual bacteria was quantified. The efficacy of each cleaning regimen was then compared.
Results: Mechanical rubbing and wiping of silver-impregnated cases and soaking hydrogen peroxide cases in hydrogen peroxide were the most effective treatments for reducing biofilms. Once the silver-impregnated cases were rubbed, air drying or recapping the cases did not have any significant effect on the level of the biofilm. The level of initial biofilm formation of silver-impregnated cases was significantly lower than those of polypropylene lens cases (P<0.0001).
Conclusions: Rubbing and rinsing with disinfecting solution and wiping with a tissue can be considered to be effective in removing biofilms from silver-impregnated lens cases. Resoaking the basket-type lens case in hydrogen peroxide between use was found to be effective in removing biofilms from these cases.

This ABC News article provides a lot of detail about the Myspace "hoax" that contributed to the suicide of 13 year old Megan Meier. Unlike previous accounts, it names the woman who tormented Megan in the guise of a teenaged boy. In one section the article notes:
Last week the board of aldermen in the Meiers' hometown, Dardenne Prairie, Mo., passed a law making Internet bullying a misdemeanor in the town.
I haven't seen the text of the law but I expect it will be hard to enforce, assuming it is even constitutional as drafted. In my opinion it makes more sense to limit anonymity than content, but neither is easy or cost free. You can learn a lot more about "cyberbullying" here.

How is one to make sense of the FCC's big vote Tuesday? Does it represent a gain for the net-neutrality cause, or is the corporate takeover of the Web upon us in earnest? Well, one thing seems certain: Nobody is all that happy with the outcome—except, that is, for some lobbyists. —KA
Tuesday's FCC vote on rules purportedly designed to ensure open and free networks was a 3-2 partisan charade, with Genachowski and the other two Democratic commissioners in favor and the two Republicans against. It did nothing of the sort. The short-term result will be confusion and jockeying for position. Genachowski's claim that the rules bring "a level of certainty" to the landscape was laughable unless he was talking about lobbyists and lawyers; their futures are certainly looking prosperous. The longer-range result will be to solidify the power of the incumbent powerhouses—especially telecommunications providers and the entertainment industry—to take much more control over what we do online.

School of Soft Knocks
At a Pennsylvania Elementary School, It's Back to Nurture as Betsi Smith Opens Her Kindergarten Classroom to Grown-Ups
Break time! Teacher Betsi Smith, 44, tells everyone to get cleaned up and ready for a snack. "Come here and form a circle," she says soothingly. "We have chocolate milk and juice, and I've baked bread with lots of good things in it. Everyone get your mug!"
All in all, this class at Abington Friends, a private elementary school in Jenkintown, Pa., is a typical kindergarten in every respect but one: Most of the students are old enough to remember Dwight Eisenhower, and one could have voted for him. Margie Eisen, 59, is a writer; Martha Romney, 36, an attorney; Laurence Brent Miller, 40ish, a psychiatrist; Cara Stein, 29, a talent agent; Caitlin McKinnell, 29, a homemaker; and Chandi Smith, 46, a financial planner. They've gathered in Smith's classroom to revel in 3½ hours of unadulterated childhood. "It was nice to be able to do whatever you wanted and not be judged by it," says Stein. Observes Betsi: "Kindergarten is a place that's safe. You are encouraged to be who you are."
Smith, who has been working with 5-year-olds at Abington Friends for nine years, hatched the idea of adult kindergarten classes while attending a teaching seminar in November 1990. For years she had been searching for ways to show parents the process of discovery that their kids go through. Bingo, she thought, with childlike logic: Why not just invite the parents to go through it?
As a test, Smith invited 10 volunteers to attend a Saturday class last February. Since then she has averaged two or three classes a month, charging $30 per participant. About half arc parents of kindergarteners, at Friends School or elsewhere; the rest are adults who simply long to wallow in blocks, paper-paste and lost innocence—if only for a few hours. "It took me back more than 50 years," says Eisen. "I really felt like a child." Adds Marge Williams, 34, a homemaker who attended an earlier class: "No one had ever read a story to me before. That felt good."
It wouldn't be kindergarten, of course, without show-and-tell. People bring very personal items: photographs, a stuffed animal, even a pair of pet pygmy goats. Romney, whose daughter Alexis is one of Smith's regular students, began to weep as she read aloud from a Winnie-the-Pooh book that had been her favorite as a child. "This is a kindergarten play session, not therapy," Smith says. "But people feel safe to cry. They never hold back."
The classes have been a continuing source of inspiration for Smith, a divorced mother of two (Brian, 15, is a 10th grader; Justin, 19, is a sophomore at Ithaca College in New York). "I see something of myself in everyone who walks in the door," she says. Often she is reminded of her own experience as a kindergartener and farm girl in Palm Harbor, Fla.: "I never got tired of watching the baby chicks hatch in the spring." Most of all, she enjoys sharing a sense of discovery with her charges, young or less so. "I guess I'll stop teaching," she says, "when I stop learning from my students.

During the past decade, the measurement of physician performance and offering incentives as a means of improving care have been the focus of many governmental, private, and professional groups. Performance measurement systems typically use discrete, validated clinical measures. Even though the results of these approaches have thus far been equivocal, performance measurement is already being firmly established in health care.1 The Affordable Care Act contains requirements for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to use consensus measures for payment rewards in programs such as the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and the meaningful use regulation in electronic health record use. Although hospital-based quality reporting and pay-for-performance have yielded some impressive results,1 it is uncertain whether the same will hold true in the performance of individual physicians.2 Underlying questions about individual performance include uncertainties about how to assess the influence of individual physicians in teams and systems of care and the role financial incentives should have in motivating physicians.

There are many moments and people to remember when you are part of the Hamilton community: good days, long nights, friends and professors. And then there's a day like today — a day when the campus comes together to celebrate the life of Alex Paganelli '12, a day that those in attendance will never forget.
"Pags," a chemistry major and beloved member of the lacrosse team, died over winter break from injuries sustained in a one-car accident near his home in Dover, Mass. Today, his impact in his short time on the Hill is evidenced by the students, teachers and athletes who pack the Chapel.
The service includes a letter from his parents read by President Joan Hinde Stewart, a Bible verse recited by his teammate Paul Citarella '12 and a moving prayer delivered by Father John Croghan, who pleads with the emotional crowd not just to remember his passing as a tragedy, but to learn from his life and to realize how fortunate we are to have Hamilton in our own lives. "Sometimes around here we don't talk about love much," Croghan says, "and that's a shame. But it's at times like this when we can learn, because as bad as this loss is, may it teach us something — that each person you know, each person on this Hill, they have been given to us to learn from. They're family members.… Let us love them like we love Alex."
One of those family members is Paganelli's best friend, Garrett Akie '12. A friend and lacrosse teammate since elementary school, Akie shares laughs with the audience explaining Paganelli's "eclectic" personality and describing him as a musical composer, "a competitor in everything he did, including video games," and, "the type of kid who wore his pet lizard to graduation."
At the service's end, members of the men's lacrosse team hand out shirts. On the front reads "Hamilton," on the back Paganelli's number 9. With the shirt come instructions: Wear it to every men's home game to remember and honor a great teammate, a great friend and a member of the Hamilton family.

TRENTON - The law firm hired by Gov. Christie to investigate the lane closures at the George Washington Bridge released more than 400 pages of documents Monday that describe in detail interactions among the governor's aides as the controversy over the closures unfolded.
The documents - summaries of 75 interviews conducted by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher - do not appear to contain new revelations about the controversy.
The interviews, which formed the basis of the firm's report clearing Christie and his senior staff of wrongdoing in the lane closures, include accounts of tense staff meetings and frustrations about former aides implicated in the scandal.

On Mark Visser's website, the professional big-wave surfer lists his goals as doing "things that no one thought were possible."
His accomplishment on early Thursday morning would seem to fit the bill - the 28-year-old Australian rode waves of 30-40 feet at "Jaws" in Peahi in darkness, at about 2 a.m.
"I was silenced. I was humbled," he said. "I thought I'd be pumped up and excited, but it wasn't that. I felt like I could sit in a field and not say a word. And just relief. I woke up each morning and my heart was pounding. Each morning I felt sick in my stomach."

– MARK VISSER, on his reaction after surfing 'Jaws' in the dark early Thursday
'I was silenced. I was humbled. I thought I'd be pumped up and excited, but it wasn't that. I felt like I could sit in a field and not say a word. And just relief. I woke up each morning and my heart was pounding. Each morning I felt sick in my stomach.'
The ride will be part of a documentary called "9 Lives" that is to be released late this year or in early 2012, and is being billed as the first surfing of big waves at Jaws in the dark.
"It's been over two years of planning," Visser said. "There was a lot of training that went into it. I've done training where they've made me go into underwater caves and be blindfolded. They've taken me miles out to sea at night in a helicopter and dropped me off and had me swim back. I did freedive training to 100 feet. It was all to try to get comfortable with those conditions."
Visser is a two-time runner-up in the Oakley ASL Big Wave Awards, but said Thursday's achievement was something new.
"Realistically, I was scared beforehand, but I knew I had done the most training I could do and it was all up to me to be the best that I could be," he said. "It just came down to me letting go of the fear.
"The first two waves were really scary, and it takes about 45 minutes or so for your eyes to adjust. I remember the first two waves, it was really just surviving to make it, and after that I felt more comfortable and was able to stay deep."
Visser was towed into the wave by a personal watercraft, and had lights built into his buoyancy vest and board. A light on a helicopter illuminated the area he surfed.
"I really hope it inspires people, that - no matter what other people say - if they have a dream, and they work at it, they can do it," Visser said.

By Matthew Rudy
Martin Kaymer's 28-foot par-saving putt on the island 17th Sunday night was the big, obvious choice for "most important" shot of the day, because it let him keep his one-shot lead over Jim Furyk with the treacherous 18th left to play. But it was what Kaymer was able to do Thursday -- when he tied the course record with a 63 -- and off the tee on the last hole Sunday with water threatening down the entire left side of the hole that proved he's back to the form that made him world No. 1 in 2011.
Kaymer won the 2010 PGA and reached the top of the golf world with an intuitive, fade-only style. He decided to tear that swing down and build one that let him move the ball both ways. But after three years of frustration, Kaymer was still being overwhelmed by technical thoughts when he played. He was looking for a way to clear his head and play free, the way he he had at the beginning of the decade. A simple tennis ball swing aid helped him do that. The ball hangs from his neck on elastic, and he holds it between his wrists while he makes practice swings.
"When the average amateur thinks about swing aids, they usually think of something that is going to make them get too technical," says Jorge Parada, a master instructor at TPC Sawgrass who works with PGA Tour players Jonas Blixt and David Lingmerth and LPGA player Anna Nordqvist. "With Martin, he gets the opposite effect. The drill with the ball gives him the chance to have some structured practice and achieve what he's trying to accomplish--to keep the relationship between his arms consistent—but do it in a way that lets him feel it instead of think about it. He feels the pressure to the top of the swing, then all he has to do is let it go."
At Sawgrass, Kaymer was able to go out and play with a swing feel instead of a menu of swing thoughts. "He's back to being more reactive," says Parada. "His swing is a bit longer and more relaxed, and he's going out and playing like an athlete." In the deep twilight on 18 tee, Kaymer carved a perfect fade off the edge of the water to secure his tournament-winning par.
Kaymer's instructor rigged up the simple aid with a piece of elastic and a tennis ball, and the drill is a great one for any player to try. "A lot of players start at address with the space between the elbows at about five or six inches apart, but when they get to the top of the backswing the right elbow flies up and that space becomes 12 or 15 inches," says Parada. "To get down to the ball in a reasonable position to hit it, that gap has to reduce back to what it was, and that's a hard thing to do consistently. The ball drill helps you feel one thing instead of thinking about the geometry of elbow position, swing plane or any or any other part of the physical motion."

Objective.— To identify issues related to the quality of health care in the United
States, including its measurement, assessment, and improvement, requiring
action by health care professionals or other constituencies in the public
or private sectors.
Participants.— The National Roundtable on Health Care Quality, convened by the Institute
of Medicine, a component of the National Academy of Sciences, comprised 20
representatives of the private and public sectors, practicing medicine and
nursing, representing academia, business, consumer advocacy, and the health
media, and including the heads of federal health programs. The roundtable
met 6 times between February 1996 and January 1998. It explored ongoing, rapid
changes in health care and the implications of these changes for the quality
of health and health care in the United States.
Evidence.— Roundtable members held discussions with a wide variety of experts,
convened conferences, commissioned papers, and drew on their individual professional
Consensus Process.— At the end of its deliberations, roundtable members reached consensus
on the conclusions described in this article by a series of discussions at
committee meetings and reviews of successive draft documents, the first of
which was created by the listed authors and the Institute of Medicine project
director. The drafts were revised following these discussions, and the final
document was approved according to the formal report review procedures of
the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.
Conclusions.— The quality of health care can be precisely defined and measured with
a degree of scientific accuracy comparable with that of most measures used
in clinical medicine. Serious and widespread quality problems exist throughout
American medicine. These problems, which may be classified as underuse, overuse,
or misuse, occur in small and large communities alike, in all parts of the
country, and with approximately equal frequency in managed care and fee-for-service
systems of care. Very large numbers of Americans are harmed as a direct result.
Quality of care is the problem, not managed care. Current efforts to improve
will not succeed unless we undertake a major, systematic effort to overhaul
how we deliver health care services, educate and train clinicians, and assess
and improve quality.

February Valentine's Special
Sunday, January 30th, 2011
It's easy to brush Valentine's Day off as a Hallmark Holiday. After all, why must you declare your love through chocolates and flowers on February 14, just because the calendar says it's Valentine's Day. Just who was this Valentine, anyway? Valentine is thought to have been a Roman priest or bishop who lived in Rome… Read more »

Toronto: Weinstein closes in on a deal for 'Can a Song Save Your Life?' with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo
It's safe to say HitFix's Drew McWeeny was a big fan of John Carney's "Can a Song Save Your Life?," which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival yesterday. "It should not come as any surprise that John Carney, who wrote and directed 'Once,' has made another great film that focuses on songwriters and the way their lives influence their work, and I love that it doesn't feel like he's just trying to reproduce that movie's charms," Drew wrote in his review. "It's the sort of movie that I feel protective of right away, because it's delicate. It's not trying to be a giant megablockbuster that opens on 3000 screens. It is heartfelt and deeply human, and it means every word it says."
A number of distributors must feel similarly (or see the potential for audiences to feel similarly) about the film, which stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo: an all-night auction eventually led to The Weinstein Company securing exclusive talks to acquire it. Deadline is reporting that the film will be picked up for $7 million minimum for US rights with a $20 million P&A (prints and advertising) commitment.
Meanwhile, Exclusive Media is nearly done auctioning off the remaining foreign markets, meaning this one was, in so many words, the first truly hot ticket of the festival. Focus Features nailed down worldwide rights for "Bad Words" yesterday, so it's not the first sale, but it is the first film that has apparently yielded such a feeding frenzy, given that these kinds of auctions are uncommon these days.
TWC was also busy during Telluride, picking up John Curran's "Tracks" (which premiered in Venice), slowly filling out a 2014 slate we could be talking about in terms of Oscars this time next year. Expect more movement from Harvey and company when Cannes rolls around again in May.
The 27th annual Toronto Film Festival is on-going. Keep it tuned into HitFix for the latest as it happens.

When the old Hotel Hana-Maui morphed into Travaasa Hana last June, there was a lot of confusion about the name and curiosity about its experiential aspect.
Now that the dust has settled and people are finding out that this "experiential" hotel offers fun activities from archery to bicycle tours and management is forging ahead with its culinary programs.
Basically, guests choose from two options: an a la carte stay, or the all-inclusive stay that includes three meals a day plus snacks and nonalcoholic drinks, spa treatments daily and all activities.
Article Photos
"The people who are coming here are worldwide, organic travelers," says Director of Food & Beverage Manny Arriaga. "They don't mind touching the flowers and getting to know the area."

Sous Chef Danny Baker leads the edible walking tours, the first of the hotel's interactive culinary programs to debut this month.
The Maui News / CARLA TRACY photo
If you choose the all-inclusive route, you will get a taste of the brand's five "pillars," which are culinary, adventure, culture, fitness and spa and wellness.
"We offer different options each day and each guest has the opportunity to choose how much, or how little, to do," says Mark Stebbings, general manager.
If you choose the a la carte route, or if you simply drive to Hana for the day and drop in for a bite to eat, you may rest assured that whatever you buy in the restaurants has been upgraded in quality by Peter Longhi of the famous Maui restaurant family. In fact, it's never been better.
Fact Box
Travaasa at a glance:
* New culinary programs: Midday juicing classes, edible walking tours, Art of the Cocktail and fresh Hana fish preparation followed by family-style dinners will all be launched before the end of this month.
* Kau'iki Restaurant: Open for breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. and for dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. The menu highlights are French toast "Longhi" style; sauteed exotic mushrooms, New York steak, fresh catch of the day, baby iceberg wedge salad.
* Paniolo Lounge: Open for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Munch on hummus, guacamole, ahi sashimi, marinated olives.
* Hana Ranch: Open from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with pizzas, pastas.
* For more details: Call 248-8211.
"We do all of the things food and beverage here," says Longhi. "We do room service, catering, weddings, poolside service and banquets in addition to running all the hotel's restaurant outlets."
Before the end of this month, three new culinary programs will be launched by the hotel's director of food & beverage, local boy Manny Arriaga.
"We'll offer the Art of the Cocktail once a week," says Arriaga, a Hana native who's traveled the world with the military from Germany to Louisiana.
The Art of the Cocktail will kick off with rum drinks, utilizing local fruits such as mangos, lemons, mountain apples and Waiui strawberry guavas.
"We host the Art of the Cocktail by the pool and I make at least one drink from the fruits grown on property. Like we'll make, for instance, the Hoku Dori, with starfruit juice, pineapples and rum with garnishes. And we do a juicing class midday, and the end result tastes totally different from the packaged juices. No preservatives, and it's so fresh and good."
Longtime Sous Chef Danny Baker also just started taking guests on edible walking tours. He'll cut open lilikoi (or passion fruit) and have participants taste it, as well as other exotic fruits from the land. It would be hard to find the trails he takes you on, unless you really know the area.
"Another culinary program that we're launching is fish preparation. So people can see all of the good stuff that comes out of Hana waters and from along the shoreline. They can see how Hana families subsidize their food bills."
"We pretty much get all of our fish from Hana," says Travaasa Hana's Executive Chef Barry Villiarimo, another Hana boy who's cooked everywhere from top hotels in San Fransisco to the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles. "We get locally trolled, fresh bottom fish such as mahi, uku, opakapaka, onaga, ono and ahi."
The same evening as the fish preparation class, Chef Villiarimo will do a family-style dinner featuring the fish. There are no more buffets at the hotel.
"At the fish preparation class, we'll also bring in stuff you don't ordinarily see in a restaurant," says Arriaga. "Like opihi is one of those things. And, hau ui ui, or sea urchin. 'Wana' in Hawaiian. In Italy, they put olive oil on a plate and dip the bread in the urchin. We're going to do tastings like these, so the people will understand it. It's what will set us apart from everybody else."
You'll also find these local foods on the menu in the form of lemonade made from freshly squeezed local Meyer lemons and Hawaiian honey; ahi tartare with roasted kukui nut relish, wakame seaweed and micro greens; Kau'iki garden greens; and rich and satisfying lilikoi creme brulee.
In addition, Longhi just started selecting individual cows from various Maui Cattle Co. ranches - all grass fed and free range for optimum quality.
"He's thinking outside of the box on this and the quality is phenomenal," Arriaga says. "So you get free-range New York strip steaks, juicy Hana burgers made from grass- fed beef and sizzling flat-iron steaks seared to perfect doneness."
Last but not least, the menus change every night. "Chef Barry is committed to changing it up," says Arriaga.
"Tonight was seafood risotto, yesterday, it was mushroom. Guests can even come to dinner in bathrobes if they like. It's casual dress here. But it's fine dining with elevated levels of food and service. Our wine list is excellent, too, and we look forward to more wine dinners and tastings, like the Turley events we had last November."

INWOOD - Traffic on Interstate 81 South was backed up for more than eight hours after a 16-vehicle pileup happened Thursday morning, when a sudden snow squall caused a chain-reaction series of crashes.
The initial crash, which involved two vehicles, occurred approximately halfway between exits 5 and 8 on I-81 South, between Inwood and Tabler Station Road, according to Lt. R.L. Gardner of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department.
Gardner was the senior officer on the scene, and he said that from his understanding, the people in those vehicles were transported to an area hospital before he arrived on site.

Two tractor-trailers collide on Interstate 81 South near the Tabler Station Road exit Thursday morning. A brief snowstorm near Inwood is being blamed for conditions that caused the accident. More photos can be found on cu.journal-news.net (Journal photo by Jillian E. Kesner)
The second multi-vehicle accident occurred at 8:19 a.m. as a result of traffic stopping for the first accident as well as a sudden snow squall that caused poor road conditions.
Gardner said the pileup happened when a UPS truck and another commercial truck lost control and struck one another, causing a chain reaction.
No fatalities occurred as a result of the accidents, Gardner said.
A news release from the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department reported seven of the 16 vehicles involved were passenger vehicles. Nine commercial vehicles, including six tractor-trailers, were also part of the pileup.
Five people were reportedly taken to City Hospital in Martinsburg and Winchester Medical Center in Winchester. Teresa McCabe, vice president of marketing and development at City Hospital, said at 2 p.m. that five victims were treated and released following the pileup.
At noon, I-81 remained blocked at exit 8, and officials on the scene were trying to get traffic cleared to allow tow trucks in to remove the tractor-trailers. Traffic on I-81 North was moving steadily but slow close to the accident scene.
At 7:20 p.m., traffic was still congested on U.S. 11, Gardner said, but the accident scene was cleared up approximately eight hours after it occurred.
West Virginia State Police, the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department, Department of Highways and Department of Transportation, West Virginia Public Service Commission, the 167th Air National Guard, the South Berkeley Fire Department and the Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority all responded to the crash scene.
Gardner, who has been with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department for 14 years, said that the accident was the first of its magnitude that he had seen in a while. He said the Sheriff's Department did respond to an accident that occurred approximately a year ago under similar conditions when a sudden snowstorm happened, but fewer vehicles were involved.
According to Berkeley County Central Dispatch, a number of other vehicle accidents and traffic hazards also occurred Thursday on I-81 in the following areas: two accidents at mile marker 4; one at mile marker 4.5 North; one at exit 8; one at mile marker 3 North; one at exit 12; and another at mile marker 8.5 South.
Gardner said that the departments worked well together while covering the accident scene.
"On behalf of the Sheriff's Department, I appreciate the help of (the other agencies)," Gardner said. "It was a mess. It put the entire county in check."
Information about the drivers and passengers involved in the collision was not available as of presstime and was still being gathered by the Sheriff's Department. The accident will be under the investigation of deputies from the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department S. Layne and S. Myers.

Weather blamed for Erie casino's December slot-machine revenue decrease
The weather didn't help slot-machine revenue at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in December.
The revenue was $8.3 million on 1,720 slot machines during the month, compared to more than $9.9 million on 2,030 slot machines in December 2012, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported. That's a decline of 16.5 percent.
The casino reduced its number of slot machines in 2013 in favor of a floor plan with wider aisles and more room. It also replaced some older machines with new machines.
"The weather greatly impacted the December revenue numbers with Erie being named the snowiest city in the U.S.," Mike Tamburelli, Presque Isle Downs' vice president, said in a statement.
The December performance was similar to the casino's slot-machine revenue decline for the 2013 calendar year. For the year, the revenue was $131.1 million, a drop of 13.3 percent from the $151.3 million in 2012, said the board, which regulates the state's casino industry.
The Erie casino's revenue decline is also tied to the recent opening of three casinos in the Cleveland area, including Horseshoe Casino Cleveland downtown.
Horseshoe Casino's gross revenue for December was $11.2 million, but that's down from that casino's revenue of $15.2 million in December 2012, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission. But Horseshoe is now competing with two other casinos in that market, including Thistledown Racino. However, both Horseshoe and Thistledown are owned by Rock Ohio Caesars and managed by Caesars Entertainment. The third casino is the Hard Rock Northfield Park Rocksino in Northfield, Ohio.
Despite growing competition, Tamburelli said the Erie casino is "optimistic about our future performance as we continue to add player enhancements such as new slot product during 2014."
In 2013, the casino put in 277 new slot games, a new high-limit room, a self-service beverage station and a new buffet, he said. The casino also installed new carpeting and repainted the interior of the main casino floor, and completed other projects to keep Presque Isle Downs "competitive in an ever-changing competitive marketplace," he said.
The casino hopes to draw more gamblers with events such as a big-screen television giveaway every Friday this month, Tamburelli said. And on Jan. 25, it will give away two tickets to the Super Bowl, including hotel accommodations and airfare, and it plans a $10,000 Presidents Day slot tournament, he said.
The casino's December slot-machine revenue was a turnaround from what seemed to be a stabilizing revenue situation. Revenue declined by only 3 percent in November compared with a year earlier.

Lunch discussion: LISB 131, noon - 1:30 PM
Office hour: LISB 341, 2:00 - 3:30 PM
Lecture: LISB 126, 4:00 - 5:30 PM
Dr. James Cortada is speaking as part of the "Information in Society" speaker series. A lunch discussion and afternoon office hour are scheduled before the lecture. Email Linda Smith (email@example.com) to RSVP for lunch and/or office hour. Lunch is provided free for first ten guests.
All events are held at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, 501 E. Daniel St., Champaign Illinois 61820, USA. Lecture will be recorded and archived online!
Lecture Abstract: Normally the history of computing is told from the perspective of the engineers, firms, and the industries that invented, manufactured, and sold computers. It is also told largely as a US centric story. However, we are increasingly realizing that users were not passive players in this process; rather they used computers when it made sense to them and worked with vendors to develop what they needed. They also developed patterns of adoption that spread around the world. This talk will discuss how whole industries embraced computing and, in the process, changed how they performed their daily work.
Speaker Biography: Dr. James W. Cortada received his Ph.D. in Modern European History from Florida State University, and is the author of two dozen books on the history and management of information technology. His most recent project has been the 3-volume The Digital Hand, which surveys the use of computing in 36 industries over the past six decades. He leads research teams at the IBM Institute for Business Value that monitor use of computing around the world.

Joan Didion's electrifying first novel is a haunting portrait of a marriage whose wrong turns and betrayals are at once absolutely idiosyncratic and a razor-sharp commentary on the history of California. Everett McClellan and his wife, Lily, are the great-grandchildren of pioneers, and what happens to them is a tragic epilogue to the pioneer experience, a story of murder and betrayal that only Didion could tell with such nuance, sympathy, and suspense.
©1963 Joan Didion. Copyright renewed 1991 by Joan Didion (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
Bibliophile, English Teacher, Wordsmith
"Thought-provoking, riveting, memorable"
This powerfully insightful first novel is Joan Didion's finest work. A finely-drawn meditation, it focuses on Lily, a shy and melancholy young matron who yearns for love, but struggles with the challenges of everyday life. Thoughtful but unemotional, Lily and Everett are quintessential Central Valley Californians, strong as the rich soil they till, but unable to confront their personal demons. Leading unexamined lives, they are filled with emotions they cannot express, forever reaching, like their gold-seeking forebears, for the real Eldorado that lies still further on, a mirage just beyond their grasp.
The narrator has a pleasant voice while reading descriptive passages of the book, but her character voices are a disaster. Depressed people are not best represented through high, squeaky, baby voices, like every female character in this audiobook had - Sarah, Martha, Edith, even Lily. The midwestern senator inexplicably had a southern accent. Male voices were unrealistic, exaggeratedly low, without nuance. Lily sings off-key, but the narrator merely recites the lyrics in a stiff monotone, failing the author's purpose of adding authentic layers to the setting and character they were so carefully chosen to reflect. However, while the disappointing narration distracts, it cannot diminish the compelling characters and strong storyline of this fine work.
Thought-provoking, riveting, and memorable, Didion's "Run River" is a quiet masterpiece.

Global Legal Education and Human Rights
Claudio Grossman
American University - Washington College of Law
Spring 2004
Human Rights Brief, Vol. 11, No. 3, p. 20, 2004
Law schools play a vital role in establishing legitimate expectations for behavior in societies. Therefore, human rights education is crucial for the promotion of important values. A dramatic transformation is taking place in the world today. The processes that have led to this situation have resulted in increased transnational trade and investment, dramatic growth in the scope and speed of communications across the globe, and unprecedented exposure to foreign cultures and values. The internet, with its ability to transcend borders and allow for decentralized communication, is both a metaphor and a powerful engine that is increasingly contributing to a world without barriers. New challenges have emerged, concerning security, the environment, health, labor protection, and governance. National states are no longer the single most important actors in effectively addressing many of these challenges.

The Mind in the Mirror
Neuroscience can explain many brain functions, but not the mystery of consciousness
The subtitle of V.S. Ramachandran's latest book prompts a question: Why should "A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human" be of particular interest? The answer is obvious if you believe, as so many do, that humans are essentially their brains. When a brain scientist speaks, we should pay attention, for "What makes us human" then boils down to what makes our brains special, compared with those of other highly evolved creatures.
Dr. Ramachandran and many others, including prominent philosophers like Daniel Dennett and Patricia and Paul Churchland, promise that neuroscience will help us understand not only the mechanism of brain functions (such as those that coordinate movement or underpin speech) but also key features of human consciousness. As of yet, though, we have no neural explanation of even the most basic properties of consciousness, such as the unity of self, how it is rooted in an explicit past and explicit future, how experience is owned and referred to a self, and how we are, or feel that we are, voluntary agents. Neuroscience, in short, has no way of accommodating everyday first-person being.
Dr. Ramachandran first came to international prominence for his fascinating work on visual illusions and on amputees with phantom-limb sensations, described in his BBC Reith Lectures "The Emerging Mind." The present book summarizes his research and purports to advance our understanding of how we humans come to be so profoundly different from our nearest animal kin. He approaches this quest indirectly, however, through the investigation of some extraordinary patients. We meet Victor, an amputee who experiences sensations in his missing hand when his face is touched; Steven, a 6-year-old autistic boy with an astonishing capacity for drawing; and Ali, whose self-awareness is so profoundly disturbed that he believes he has ceased to exist. People with synaesthesia—who taste colors, see sounds and hear shapes—rub shoulders in his laboratory with tragic individuals who are tormented by the feeling that their limbs are not their own and thus beg for them to be removed.
Dr. Ramachandran's research into these and other cases casts some light on the underlying brain abnormalities. For example, Victor, who feels sensations in his phantom limb when his face is touched, appears to have a reorganized cerebral cortex. As a result, touching his face not only activates the brain's "face map" but also its "hand map," which has been starved of signals. Brain scans likewise suggest that synaesthesia may result from cross- wiring between the neural circuits that register different modalities of perception, such as color and sound.
So far, so good, though Dr. Ramachandran has recounted much of this material previously in books like "Phantoms in the Brain." The trouble begins when the neuro logist turns philosopher and tries to use these insights to get closer to "what makes us human." He suggests that such cross-wiring underpins both humans' ability to enjoy metaphors and artists' capacity to create novel connections—an assertion that has scarcely any research to back it up. (What little has been done depends on laughably simplistic models of how metaphors and creativity really work.) Likewise, his explanation of how we became speaking animals has scarcely a toe-hold on empirical data.
Dr. Ramachandran's way with brain research is particularly evident in his extended discussion of mirror neurons, the current darlings of pop neuroscience, which he describes as "the key players in our transcendence of apehood." Mirror neurons were first observed in Macaque monkeys by Giacomo Rizzolatti and his colleagues in the 1990s. They noted that some motor neurons fired not only when the monkey performed an action but also when it watched another monkey performing the same action. Soon mirror neurons were being invoked to explain everything from acquiring motor skill to imagining other people's intentions, feeling empathy, and exhibiting an aesthetic sense. Dr. Ramachandran takes this even further: Mirror neurons, he claims, are the key to many modes of distinctively human communication and they are the reason we are "the one and only species that veritably lives and breathes culture."
The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human
By V.S. Ramachandran
(Norton, 384 pages, $26.95)
Dr. Ramachandran believes that a dysfunctional mirror-neuron system explains autism, a condition in which the sense of self and of others as selves is seriously impaired, resulting in severely reduced social skills. He and his colleagues suggest there is a close match between the functions ascribed to mirror neurons and those that are dysfunctional in autism. His catchily named "Broken Mirror" theory of autism has attracted attention far beyond the scientific community, and he is clearly excited by the therapeutic possibilities suggested by it—such as the use of biofeedback to control brain activity and of certain drugs that enhance empathy. He even claims that his research provides "conclusive evidence that the hypothesis is correct." But careful studies of brain activity by Ilan Dinstein of New York University have shown that the putative mirror neurons in autistic subjects behave normally. This and other rigorous studies of brain activity seem to some to leave Dr. Ramachandran's hypothesis for dead. Of this there is not a whisper.
Here, as elsewhere, the intellectual audit trail connecting the neuroscience to the things he claims to explain is fragile. For a start, mirror neurons have been observed not just in monkeys and humans but also in swamp sparrows, enabling them to learn to sing the songs they hear. They are admirable birds, but their cultural achievements are modest. Moreover, the existence in humans of a distinct mirror neuron system with properties such as "mind-reading" is still contested. At any rate, the claim that mirror neurons are a "specialized circuitry for social cognition" in humans is a death-defying leap beyond the humble "Monkey see, Monkey do" function they were first observed to have. The very name "mirror neurons" invites confusion. A mirror, after all, replicates something that could be consciously experienced, but a mirror is not itself conscious of the images that it hosts. Indeed, mirror images don't count as images in the absence of someone looking into the mirror. Dr. Ramachandran's theory requires mirror neurons to be both the mirror image and the basis of that "someone."
Yet extracting the sense of self from mirror neurons is far from the most ambitious of Dr. Ramachandran's projects. A few years ago, when he was sitting at the entrance to an Indian temple, he was struck by a flash of inspiration that revealed the "nine universal laws of aesthetics." He thinks that these laws, which include "contrast," "isolation," "orderliness" and "symmetry," could be the key to how the "human brain responds to beauty."
An evolutionary spin turns these banal ideas about "those elemental forces in the brain that govern our aesthetic impulses" into implausible ones: It seems unlikely that "brain preferences" "shaped by evolution" (such as the need to discern a predator partially hidden by foliage) would tell us anything about a preference for Henri Matisse over Norman Rockwell or vice versa. Is my enjoyment of Picasso really illuminated, as Dr. Ramachandran claims, by ethologist Niko Tinbergen's demonstration that gull chicks prefer fake maternal beaks with too many stripes to the real thing? The author's writing on neuroaesthetics, in which brain science figures rather intermittently, reveals how little the "tell-tale brain" tells us about ourselves.
Dr. Ramachandran's claim that "your brain . . . turns its view back on itself to generate your sense of self-awareness" would not feel like an explanation to a questioning 12-year-old. Instead, the illusion of explanation is generated by relentless personification of the brain and bits of the brain. Dr. Ramachandran speaks of "a neuron effectively reading the other's intention" and, as a result, "understand[ing] a ritualized gesture." If you personify the brain it is easy to "brainify" the person. But no real explanatory work gets done. Of course, Dr. Ramachandran's use of transferred epithets to describe brain activity is not a linguistic vice unique to him; indeed, it is pandemic in neuro-talk.
Until we clear up the ground-floor aspects of human consciousness—in particular, first-person being—claims to advance our understanding of its higher levels, and of the grand edifice of civilization, by peering into intra cranial darkness will not withstand even the most cursory examination. Why should anyone imagine that studying an organ many hundreds of thousands of years old would give insights into complex, historically and culturally influenced matters of artistic taste? While it is incontrovertible that a brain in some sort of working order is necessary for everything from the most primitive tingle to the most exquisitely constructed sense of self, that is the beginning, not the end, of the story. To look for humanity and society and civilization in the isolated brain is rather like listening to an acorn in the hope of hearing the sound of the wind through an oak wood.
It is disappointing that Dr. Rama chandran is serially unfaithful to the initial vision he presents, of humans as a species that "transcends apehood to the same degree by which life transcends mundane chemistry and physics." "The Tell-Tale Brain," though it is engagingly written and often fascinating, reminds us how little cause we have to privilege what the neuro scientists tell us about what makes us human over the testimony of novelists, poets, social workers or philosophers.

Behind-The-Scenes Access: Customers Get Special Look Into American Airlines
New Digital Series Provides Sneak Peek into American's Operations; Answers Customers' Most Frequently Asked Questions
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- How does American Airlines decide which flights to cancel and delay when there is severe weather? Why do airfares change so much? What happens once customers check their bags?
These questions – and more – are being answered in American's new "Behind the Scenes @AmericanAir" digital series, which gives customers an insider's view into the airline's decision-making process.
"Transparency is extremely important to the American Airlines team. This is why we are inviting our customers to take a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run one of the world's largest airlines," said Andy Backover, American's Vice President – Communications. "Our new video series not only shines a spotlight on our operations, but it also allows us to better engage with our customers so we can provide answers that will help us improve their travel experience."
Hosted on American's YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/americanairlines, "Behind the Scenes @AmericanAir" showcases videos of airline employees who explain various parts of American's business that the flying public does not see.
The launch video revealed how American's team members in its Integrated Operations Control (IOC) safely handle operations when severe weather hits and the decisions employees must make when it comes to delays and cancellations. Other videos explain how American determines the price of a seat on a particular flight. Launching today is the series' latest video, which shows a day in the life of checked baggage. Customers receive a better understanding of how American tracks their bags from the moment they check them to when they arrive at their final destination.
American shares the digital series across its social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Google+, and seeks input from customers on what questions they would like answered.
"Our video series will only be successful if we are listening to our customers and having a true conversation with them," added Backover. "It is important that we answer their questions and provide a real look inside American Airlines."
Upcoming videos will focus on American's Cargo operations and how American takes delivery of a new aircraft. Customers can provide feedback and ask questions via American's Twitter handle @AmericanAir or its other social media platforms.

Boxes & Trays
Staying organized is often tough, especially when you have small items that simply need a home. Things like keys, watches, notes and coins often need a secure place for storage so they are not misplaced. You want something functional yet smart and elegant, that complements the look of your room easily. Delicate yet useful trays and boxes are a great way to keep organized while looking chic.
Sloan Lacquer Trays lend beauty and elegance to decor in any room of the home, but work very well in a bedroom, such as on top of a dresser. Available in several different colors to complement the look of a bedroom, these trays offer enough to space to stow keys, a small amount of coins, important slips of paper, a money clip and watches. The Antoinette Agate Box also looks lovely with a bedroom's coastal theme or works well placed on top of a dresser or mantel. The lacquered trays are ideal as a holiday gift or a gift for a special occasion, and have the ability to be personalized with the recipient's initials. These boxes are also great gifts for Mother's Day, bar or bat mitzvahs, graduations and other events.
Small trays are also great for storage of small items, and many of the small trays have a white or metal finish, great to complement your existing home office decor. These trays do very well on a desktop. Simply place some needed items in the trays, such as pens, pencils, small tools, sticky notes and other items so that they are within arm's reach. In addition to adding to your home office, trays also work well on top of a dresser and could serve as a resting spot for glasses, watches, cufflinks, trinkets and other small pieces of jewelry. Trays such as the Gray & White Bone Tray are very unisex in style, and easily work as appreciated gifts for both men and women. Small trays also make a great housewarming or new apartment gift.
Pottery Barn also offers several options for boxes that look delightful on a dresser, and are a simple alternative to the classic look of jewelry boxes. It is often tough to put larger, chunky pieces of jewelry in a delicate box, so opt for the Preppy Border Box that has lots of room for large necklaces or chunky bracelets. The dot inlay box or the Harper Box also work well on a dresser or bureau for storing smaller pieces of jewelry. Some of these boxes also have the ability to be personalized.
For entertaining, there are also trays that are similar to serveware that are ideal for a small tea luncheon or for putting small items out for guests during a party. A silver bamboo tray also does a great job of providing your significant other a small breakfast in bed or is usable for a small tea party. Many of these metal and woven trays also do well as simple display items. Place the tray on a side table or large mantle as a spot to store decorative objects. Display trays also work well in the bedroom, for those who would like to showcase their jewelry instead of placing it in a box. Small display boxes also work well for storing live or faux plants. Their see-through glass casing adds a special touch to decor, allowing you to place items inside for showcasing. In addition to plants and small decorative items, display boxes are a great idea for those with young children, who want to keep some items out of the reach of little hands.

Java Array
Hi. Please i need help urgently with the question below:
A date structure has a day/month format. A day ranges from 1 to 30 and a month is one of the months of the year. Specify an array of integers called day to hold the values of day, and an array of String called month to hold the possible values for a month e.g. January, February, etc. Assume all months have 30 days.
a) Create and print out on the screen a random date such as 24/December. Note the / between the day and the month.
b) Declare an array called year to hold the 360 dates in a year. Initialise a year with the 360 dates, where a date is of the day/month format.
So far I have answered "a" but kind of confused about "b". I have used a nested for loop to select the 360 days but don't know how to populate the year array with the date. Here is my code so far.
import java.util.Random;
Re: Java Array
Re: Java Array
import java.util.Random;
int k=rand.nextInt(year.length);
Re: Java Array
Thanks alot. You are a life saver. Am really grateful. the code works perfectly. Exactly what i needed.
Thanks once again. May God bless you abundantly.

Tutankhamun's Family Tree Revealed
Last month scientists made some fascinating DNA and genealogy related discoveries about Egypt's most famous pharaoh Tutankhamon. The pharao notorious for his 'curse', which touched everyone coming near him, now seems to have been plagued himself.
Scientists have discovered that the young king, who died at the age of 19 about 1324 B.C, was the product of an incestuous relationship that may have led him to suffer from a weak health which contributed to his early death. This contrary to the many theories which held that the King could have been murdered by rivals, beaten down by an animal or have died in an accident.

Doppelganger Week Continues… on your iPhone
In the past month we paid attention to Doppelganger Week on Facebook, the week that everyone replaced their profile photo with their celebrity look-alike. It was certainly the most entertaining week on the internet, with thousands of people finding their celebrity double and posting pictures on their personal pages. Our marketing manager Mario was even interviewed about it on ABC World News Now as MyHeritage powered a lot of the celebrity finds.
But for all you Doppelganger fans out there, the fun is not over, as you can now use the look-alike-application on your iPhone! We just launched a cool new iPhone application for celebrity look-alikes that you can use on the go - for now it's free. Take a photo of anyone, or the photos you already have on your phone and instantly check which celebrities the persons on the picture resemble. You can post results to Facebook or Twitter, or just show them to others on your phone.

Former Picturehouse CEO looks for investors
While Bob Berney's still looking for financing and pondering what to name his distribution company, he's close to securing the DVD and pay TV component of the banner with Sony, and he has begun acquiring films.
So far, the sole financier is River Road principal and producer Bill Pohlad who has committed some $30 million to the venture.
Berney is looking for one or two more investors to sink comparable amounts, but it is unclear if that will happen in the rough economy or whether other partners will materialize when the venture is launched at Cannes next month.
Also up in the air is whether Pohlad will give Berney the distribution rights to River Road's plum title "Tree of Life," directed by Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
Aside from Jane Campion's "Bright Star" (in competition at Cannes), Berney's initial slate will include Oz pic "The Square," by brothers Nash and Joel Edgerton, and "The Red Riding Trilogy."
Latter is a series of crime films based on the "Red Riding Quartet" crime novels by David Peace. The pics, which have aired on TV in the U.K., are self-contained dramas but contain plot threads that join them together. If the films catch on theatrically, it's possible the fourth book could be adapted.
There is excitement on the indie scene regarding the re-emergence of Berney, the brains behind the releases of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "The Passion of the Christ," "Monster" and "Y tu mama tambien."
He's operated under the radar since Warner Bros. shuttered Picturehouse, of which he was topper, and rebuffed his request to spearhead the release of "Slumdog Millionaire," which Fox Searchlight steered into a sleeper hit.

In a paper which we published recently,1 we showed that digitalis exerts a direct action on the systolic force of mammalian cardiac muscle. Our preparation was the papillary muscle of the cat's right ventricle immersed in Ringer's solution. We measured tension with the isometric lever and recorded it photographically. Since the muscle was driven at a fixed rate, since there was no coronary circulation or systemic circulation and since the drug reversed the direction of failing systolic tension while the initial (diastolic) tension was maintained constant, we concluded that the digitalis glucosides increase the force of contraction of failing mammalian cardiac muscle by direct action on the muscle. This effect applies to all the digitalis glucosides which have been used: ouabain, digitoxin (Merck), digitalin (Nativelle) and digilanid C (Sandoz). Figure 1, reproduced from that paper, shows the essentials of the results.
Since then we have explored the matter further.
