In Air Wisconsin Airlines Corp. v. Hoeper (Jan. 27, 2014), the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that airlines are entitled to civil immunity for reporting suspicious behavior to the TSA, provided their reports are not "materially false."
In this case, Hoeper, a pilot for Air Wisconsin, became combative with the airline after failing a required certification test and accused his instructor of stacking the test against him. Concerned about Hoeper's behavior and the fact that, as a Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO), Hoeper had been issued a firearm which he could carry without detection on his flight home, Air Wisconsin called the TSA to notify them of the situation. Specifically, Air Wisconsin reported that "an unstable pilot in the FFDO program was terminated today," that he "may be armed," and that Air Wisconsin was "concerned about his mental stability and the whereabouts of his firearm."
Hoeper sued Air Wisconsin for defamation, claiming that its statements to TSA were false because: (i) he had not actually been terminated when those statements were made (even though everyone knew that his failed certification triggered immediate termination), (ii) Air Wisconsin had no reason to believe that he was actually armed on a flight (even though he could have bypassed security with his FFDO firearm), and (iii) his extreme behavior during the failed certification test did not warrant Air Wisconsin's conclusion that he may be mentally unstable.
Air Wisconsin argued that its statements were protected by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 49 U.S.C. §44941, which provides airlines with immunity from civil liability for reports of suspicious behavior. However the trial court, and later the Colorado Supreme Court, found that Air Wisconsin's statements did not qualify for ATSA immunity because they were made with actual knowledge that the disclosure was false, inaccurate, or misleading, or were made with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity of th[e] disclosure. Deprived of ATSA immunity for its statements, the jury held Air Wisconsin liable for defamation and awarded Hoeper damages in excess of $1.2 million.
On appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court and held that Air Wisconsin was entitled to immunity as a matter of law because "the gist" of its statements were accurate. The Court held that ATSA immunity will apply unless the information reported is "materially" false – i.e., false in a way that would affect a reasonable TSA officer's assessment of the possible threat. The Supreme Court found that, although Air Wisconsin's statements may have been imprecise or technically inaccurate in some respects, the statements were not materially false or misleading to the TSA. The Court recognized that the fundamental purpose of ATSA immunity is to incentivize airlines to report suspicious behavior on a real-time basis and that holding airlines liable for the use of imprecise (although not materially misleading) language in their reports would defeat the purpose of immunity.
Airlines will be entitled to ATSA immunity for reports of suspicious behavior so long as "the gist" of their reports is accurate and not materially misleading to the TSA. However, airlines should instruct employees to report suspicious behavior to the TSA by stating the objective facts giving rise to their suspicion and omit unnecessary subjective opinions or conclusions. In the famous words of Dragnet's Sergeant Joe Friday, "just the facts, ma'am."

North Charleston police are searching for a gunman who fired several rounds at a man's vehicle while speeding down Northwoods Boulevard.
The shooting was reported around 2:15 a.m., according to police spokesman Spencer Pryor.
A man told police that he was on Ashley Phosphate Road headed to a Motel 6 when he heard a popping sound. According to police, the sound turned out to be gunfire.
The man made a U-turn and noticed a sport utility vehicle tailing his Nissan, Pryor said. He turned onto Northwoods Boulevard and the SUV followed.
Then, Pryor said, the man heard more shots fired.
The man's Nissan was struck three times in the incident, but he was not wounded, Pryor said.
A suspect has not been identified in the incident.
A second shooting was reported around 2 a.m. at Blue Magic club on Ashley Phosphate Road. Pryor said police do not believe the shootings are related.

Have you listened to the old "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks" EP? Thoughts?
I have everything Modest Mouse has done. I was just wondering the other day where the mouse has been. I like everything that they have done. However, somewhat like Radiohead (pre-Kid A/post-Kid A), Modest Mouse , to me, falls into two periods where their sound differs somewhat. There's the pre-"Moon and Antarctica" and post-"Moon And Antarctica" Modest Mouse. I prefer the Post-"Moon And Antarctica" period myself and "Nasty falls into that period. I know several Modest Mouse fans whose tastes run in exactly the opposite direction. In fact, I would venture to guess that most Modest Mouse fans prefer their earlier stuff. Though it comes after "The Moon And Antarctica," I think that "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks" sounds more like their earlier albums. Their songwriting has alway been good, but their sound has gained a certain maturity over time that I appreciate. The Modest Mouse albums that I go to continuously, and that would be among my desert island discs, would be "The Moon And Antarctica," and "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank." (Although the more I think about it the more I realize how much I like "The Lonesome Crowded West," and "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About"...I mentioned I like them all didn't I...?) If you're new to and exploring Modest Mouse I would start with their new stuff and work backwards. Those are my thoughts and I'm sticking with them!

Gradually, I've noticed that we often have similar tastes. I'm not familiar with those two albums, so I am going to give them both a spin based on your input. Remind me, and I'll let you know what I think...

This is very easy to do from Rožnov pod Radhoštìm. The city of Zilina is only 73 kms or a little over an hours drive away. The route is very scenic as it passes through small villages and farming land. In the background were the wonderful high snow covered peaks of the Carpathian Mountain range. The town of Zilina has everything you need including a large modern shopping centre where I found clothing was a reasonable price, great choice too!
If you want, you can return to the Czech Rep. and put Slovakia on your list of countries visited, or continue on through the country like we did.
- Motorcycle
- Road Trip
Located on a mountain top just 9kms from Roznov pod Radhoštìm is the very attractive alpine resort in Pustevny, which is a Czech word for Hermit. Hermits lived here until the year 1874.
We had our own car, so were able to wind our way up the mountain side from Prostredni Becva or you can come by chair lift from Raztoka in Trojanovice. There was still snow and people skiing in April.
Why I wanted to come here, was to see the unique architecture I had seen in photos. I wasn't disappointed, for here were wooden buildings built in traditional folk style at the end of the 19th century. When I first set eyes on them, it was wow! They were built out of dark wood, but were painted in very bright colours and were decorated - what a picture!
The decorated log buildings are typical for the Valašsko region and Slavic architecture in general.
The Bell tower has been restored, although the original paintings were not preserved.
I didn't do this, but there is a walk from here to a chapel built in 1898 and a sculpture of Saints Cyril and Methodius from the year 1905
For those interested in skiing - There are 11 lifts and one chairlift. The lift at Raztoka was the first chairlift built in Europe.

I'm definitely wanting to read more, it's a good plot so far, and I'm very much in love with anything that has Alma as Kanda's running mate.
However you have a bad habbit shared with many other writers of giving too much away about a cheracter straight off. It clogs up the sentence and paragraph structure and acts as a bit of a speedbump in reading. there's really no need to tell the reader straight off about Alma and Kanda's tragic past, in fact as far as prologues go they don't even have to reveal being part of the Order or that the Order even exists. Such things could be saved for after you hook a reader, and better yet can be mentioned by one cheracter to another, "we're with the Order." then a description of the order can be made fluidly, seamlessly into the story.
When introducing a character, try not to give too much imediate backstory. It takes away from the first meeting of the reader to the character, and also diminishes the actual background to a throw away factoid most readers won't remember. Saving background for later and devoting more time to it separately gives it more resonance in the story, and frees the character introduction of overcloging letting the reader smoothly meet each new member of the cast with a nod and greeting.

Following the Aftermath of the entire Resident Evil Franchise. This is an MMORPG of the Resident Evil Universe.
Resident Evil - Aftermath Ideas
Ideas Added On: October 17th, 2005
Choose Your Rank
During the online feature, players will be able to choose from a variety of different ranks. Some ranks may include: S.T.A.R.S., U.B.C.S., R.P.D., and even a regular person. For each rank you choose, this will determine where your home base will be. An example, if you are a S.T.A.R.S. member, your home base will be the S.T.A.R.S. HQ. You will only be able to play with other S.T.A.R.S. members unless you meet up with Umbrella Soldiers or RPD Officers. You can also live in Raccoon City and explore the entire area.
Customize Your Character
Players will be able to fully customize an official Resident Evil character. Your appearance will be permanent throughout the entire game. You will be able to fully customize every physical feature of the human body like: Face, Facial Hair, Body, Arms, Legs, Clothes, Height, Weight, Gender, Skin Color, Backround, and blood type.
The Recruit
Players can recruit an elite team of soldiers. If you are S.T.A.R.S., you will be able to recruit 7 other S.T.A.R.S. members onto your team. These members can either be A.I. or other Xbox Live Players.
Upgrade Your Weapons
Similar to Resident Evil 4, players can upgrade their weapons in a variety of different aspects. Some aspects may include: Firepower, Reload Time, Ammo Capacity, Range, Accuracy, Rate of Fire, and Reliability. For each aspect of the gun, it can only reach up to a level of 8.
Upgrade Your Character
Another similar feature in Resident Evil 4; players will be able to upgrade their charactersâ?? physical and mental abilities. Some of the choices are: Health, Hit Recovery, Agility, and Strength.
Dozens of Weapons to Choose from
There will be dozens of weapons to choose from including all the weapons from all the Resident Evil Games. Some of the basic weapons are: 9mm Handgun, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Magnum Revolver, Sniper Rifle, and a Combat Knife.
Destroy Umbrella
Players all over the world of Resident Evil can come together and destroy Umbrella and the Virus once and for all. However, to accomplish such a thing would only be ones dream.
The Great Raid
Many cities or villages may be infected and full of zombies and other undead creatures. Grab a group of Elite soldiers and lead them to their death... or victory.
Unlimited Travel
Players can travel through thousands of miles of land, cities, villages, towns, etc.
Real-Time Battles
Zombies and other undead creatures may suddenly attack your base camp or city that you are in. It is up to you to stop them. A.I. soldiers will aid you in battle against the undead.
Resident Evil 4 Gameplay
The Resident Evil 4 Gameplay will be used in this MMORPG style of Resident Evil, but much more advanced with tons of new Gameplay features.
Vehicles At Your Disposal
Players can drive many different vehicles like: Helicopters, cars, etc. Vehicles would be greatly needed if you were attempting to raid a large area.
Survive With Friends
Players will be able to create and join In-game parties. These In-game parties enable players to stay in contact with each other. You will be able to identify their location and also see what they are using or whatâ??s in their inventory. You can also see their health bar.
Call For Back-up
If you and 3 other friends are alone fighting against a horde of Zombies and Ganados, you can contact your home base, (E.g. STARS HQ) and any player that is a S.T.A.R.S. member will automatically receive your distress call. Whoever has received the distress call may or may not arrive to help you. In the message, it details everything that â??hasâ?? happened so far. Some of the things that it will detail is: How much ammo they have left, where they are located, how much health they have left, the amount of time it will take to reach the location, and the reason for the distress call. The distress call comes with a written message as well as a voice message attached to the written message. All the detailed information is on the message and then the players that need help will give a voice message saying the reason.
Your Specialty
You can train your character to specialize in specific areas. Your character can be an expert sniper or an expert rifleman. Also, your character can specialize in assassination missions or hand-to-hand combat using a variety of melee weapons. Or your character can be balanced in all areas.
Insanely Realistic
The entire game revolves around reality itself. All over the world of Resident Evil, you will hear news about Players or A.I. bots trying to stop Umbrella or Elite Teams of STARS members raided another town. In other news, you will hear about cities being destroyed and overrun by Zombies and other undead creatures. Sometimes when playing, every single player in the game will receive a distress call. These random distress calls are A.I. bots asking for help against a Zombie attack. If you choose to help, you will be richly rewarded and vice versa. During real-time Gameplay, you can barricade yourself in buildings and houses. Basically, all the features of Resident Evil 4 will be used and will be much more advanced than Resident Evil 4. Overall, the world of Resident Evil rests in the playersâ?? hands.
The End of Days Is Upon Us
None other than Umbrella and the zombies and undead creatures can literally destroy the entire world in Resident Evil. Players must constantly save, raid, and kill all existent zombies and undead creatures. However, when trying to save a city from a zombie attack, there will usually be more than 500 or more zombies and ganados attacking that one city. When trying to raid a town, there will most likely be over 100 zombies and ganados. Not to mention other undead creatures.
Only One Life
For every character you make, they only have ONE life to spare. Once your character is killed, you will no longer be able to use him/her. You will have to create a new character.
Realistic Names
Players must have realistic character names. Names like: Gangsta_Killa, DK_TheOne, Mc-MasterMG, Flaming_Ninja, etc. will not be allowed. Names like: SGT. Kelly, Officer Jamie Floreze, UBCS James Patterson, etc. must be used, or something similar to it. When creating a name for your character, you can choose the specific rank like: SGT, Private, Officer, etc. and then create an authentic and legit name.
Ideas Added On: October 19th, 2005
Trade With Other Players
You can trade with other players like weapons and armor.
Resident Evil Characters
From time to time, you may actually be able to see some or all of the Resident Evil Characters. If you are part of S.T.A.R.S. you will be able to see all the S.T.A.R.S. members like Jill, Rebecca, Chris, and so on. If you're part of Umbrella you will see Carlos and Nicholai. As an Umbrella soldier you may see Wesker and Ada Wong, but I doubt they'd be friendly. If you're an RPD Officer you can see Leon S. Kennedy and maybe even Claire Redfield.
The Dead Walk
Once or Twice a month, hundreds of zombies and other undead creatures will attack your home base or city (This Is a Random Feature). If you fail to defend your city or home base, then you will completely lose the city or base.
Ideas Added On: October 20th, 2005
Experience Points
You will receive experience points when you kill enemies. The amount of the experience points you receive depends on the enemy you are killing. The basic enemy (Zombie) will grant you a basic amount of experience points. Anything more powerful than a Zombie will give you tons more of experience.
Shops and Merchants
Shops and Merchants will be all over the world in Resident Evil. Merchants are people who sell different items and weapons. You find these Merchants along your journey. Shops are located within cities, towns, or villages. Usually, shops sell the better stuff for higher prices compared to Merchants. But Merchants are ideal for a little pit stop to buy extra herbs, first-aid spray, and ammo.
Weapon Add-Ons
You can buy special weapon tools and parts to fully modify your favourite weapon. This could make the weapon much stronger. An example of modifying your weapon is to add explosive tipped bullets or Piercing Rounds. You can also add a flashlight to your gun.
Become A Hero
You can become a hero by gaining renown points. These points are gained depending on how many civilians you save and how many places you raid. It also depends on how many enemies you've killed. There's nothing really special about becoming a hero, expect all Xbox Live players will know about you.
Live Life To The Fullest
You can actually buy a house in Raccoon City and even get a job. Getting a job can earn you more money, which will allow you to buy new and better weapons.
Quests And Missions
You may receive random quests or missions given by your home base (e.g. STARS, Umbrella, RPD, etc.). You can receive special rewards like more money or a new weapon or part.
Ideas Added On: October 21th, 2005
Dynamic Weather
Real-Time Fog, Rain, Storms, and Snow give you the ultimate feel for the environment and everything around you. Use the weather to your advantage.
Fully Destructible Environments
Use the objects and buildings that are around you to your advantage. You can shoot down part of a house and make those rocks crush your enemies.
Fully Interactive Environment
Everything and anything around you can be a weapon. You can even push or carry dozens of different objects around to barricade or block doors.
Weapon Swapping
You can quickly switch from two different weapons with a push of a button. Simply issue two weapons under a button command. For example, your sniper rifle can be swapped by pressing the Left Shoulder Button, and your Pistol can be swapped by pressing the Right Shoulder Button.
Complete Freedom
You can roam freely anywhere and anytime you want. Walk into any house or building without any limits.
Incredibly Realistic Character Animations
Every creature reacts to your every move. When shooting a zombie they will react very life like to every shot.
Incredible A.I.
Sometimes zombies and other creatures may try to escape you from being killed. They might hide in places and try to surprise attack you. Also, zombies that work in large groups form strategic plans to kill you. The enemy is just as smart as you.
Ideas Added On: October 22th, 2005
Find The Perfect Cure
Players who are part of STARS or RPD can raid an Umbrella lab and try to retreive samples of the T-Virus or Las Plagas to develop a cure. Something like this may never be acheived.
It Can Hear You
Zombies and other enemies can react to your voice on your Xbox Live Mic. If you're walking around a Village full of Ganados and you speak into your Mic too loud, they will hear you and look for you. So it's best to whisper when in a village full of Ganados.
Stealthy Elements
There will be many different Steathly Elements like peaking left and right and Crouching for a slow approach.
Different Camera Angles
Other then the "Over The Shoulder" camera angle, you can also switch to the classic RE Camera angle like in RE:Zero. First-Person View is not available.
Friend or Foe
Players who are part of Umbrella could be either friend or Foe depending on their intentions. Sometimes players part of Umbrella may help you when you are in crisis. Sometimes you would have to deal with the zombies as well as Umbrella Soldiers.
Base Camps
All over the world there are hundreds of Base Camps or Military Outposts. These areas are there to defend cities from zombie and ganado raids. The great thing is these bases have huge gun turrets, sniper towers, and all those things you would find in a Military Outpost. These Outposts or Base Camps are the first to be attacked when a Zombie or Ganado invasion is about to begin.
A Destroyed City
Players can enter hundreds of destroyed cities, towns, villages, etc. There are hundreds of different areas and buildings you can explore like office buildings, stores, schools, airports, convention centers, libraries, Zoo's, Carnivals, and so much more. Cities, Towns, or Villages that are completely overrun and destroyed might be nearly impossible to save. Usually, players would enter these kinds of cities to get to the other side. It is best to always be with a friend or two when entering these kinds of places.
Find Survivors
When exploring cities, towns, and villages you may find survivors hiding in places. You can take these survivors and bring them back to safety. Once you've done that you will receive a reward.
Battles on the Streets
Once in awhile in a destroyed city, hundreds of zombies may start walking down a road preparing for a raid. Players that are in the city can stop them and slow it down. This may be a very vague idea, but it happens in the game.

Whether it has any effect on your DVD drive is not at all certain, but you want it out!
Nothing else in your log to worry about, and no sign of any DRM c**p.
be wary of strong drink - it may make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss!
OK, I killed that one too.But, still i dont see my dvd's playing:-(
Any other suggestions?
When you say that the drive spins and stops, do you mean that the drive is not auto playing? Did you try to play the dvd through the software? BTW what dvd software are you using? If you suspect it's autoplay, download and run Auto Play Repair Wizard a 77 kb file from Microsoft.

When I say it spins, I mean that I'm able to listen the sound as if the dvd drive is reading the dvd.After inserting the dvd and check at MyComputer, it does'nt show any dvd is being in the drive.If I insert a cd and check, it shows me the cd(name).
I tried to play the dvd with the help of win-dvd software, the thing is, it cant find the dvd in the drive,huh!
Any other ideas??
Thanks once again
Okay chinni, need more info here. What os? name and model of the drive? How old it is? Do data dvd's function? Did you try cleaning the lens?
In the mean time go through the following steps to narrow down the problem.
If you right click the drive in device manager, does it show DVD properties and region settings? If so its not a driver issue, and it seems to be picked up as a DVD by the O/S.You can always try booting into safemode and deleting the ide channells to let XP reload them as well.
Be sure the DMA option is checked in the DVD drive's settings in the Windows Device Manager.

great looking boot, awful construction
I will say that the boot looks great. But after putting boots on first few days i quickly realized the lycra booty inside makes putting boots on awful. Secondly, the seam sewn in the tongue of the boot pushes on top of foot causing extremely painful feet after a day of work! I have had these for 2 weeks now and cannot wear them anymore.

Looking for a second career? Home health aides jobs are exploding in growth
Jul 25, 2012, 8:41 a.m.
If you want a satisfying second career helping others, bear in mind that home health aides jobs are exploding in growth. With the aging of American society, the job outlook for home health and personal care aides is expected to boom by a whopping 70 percent from now until 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Jobs are plentiful for home health aides
Not only will there be plenty of job openings at home health aide agencies, requirements for entry-level jobs are easy to satisfy. You can take home health aide training classes that are short term and be working at jobs that pay an average of $9.70 per hour. No related experience is necessary, and you do not even need to have a high school diploma if you have training. It is expected that the number of job openings is well over a million, with continued high demand in future years.
What are home health aides?
Home health aides take on many roles. They may offer family members who are caring for loved ones at home respite care, a few hours of freedom they so need and deserve to have. Patients who require home health care assistance may be disabled, have Alzheimer's disease, be chronically ill or they may have other impairments. These are people who need assistance with daily basic living duties, such as bathing, dressing, eating and housekeeping. Home health aides may work under the direction of the patient's nurse or another practitioner. With certain training skills, the aides are allowed to give their clients medications or help with physical therapy.
Work setting
Most home health aides go to the patient's home to care for them in familiar surroundings. Others find that a group home or care community is where they will be employed. The health care industry is expanding by leaps and bounds as Americans grow older and need more health care, in and out of their homes. Home care can be far more affordable than institutionalization, and clients often fare better in their home setting.
Easy entry to home health care aide jobs
Home health care aides take home health aide training classes, but they are not required to have any formal training or certain certification for many jobs. If you are working with a certified home health care agency or hospice agency, you will need formal training and also be required to pass a test that is standardized for the industry. Overall, becoming a home health care aide is an excellent second or first career choice.

The Impact of an Abortion Ban on Socioeconomic Outcomes of Children: Evidence from Romania
This study examines educational and labor outcomes of children affected by a ban on abortions. I use evidence from Romania, where in 1966 dictator Nicolae Ceauescu declared abortion and family planning illegal. Birth rates doubled in 1967 because formerly abortion had been the primary method of birth control. Children born after the abortion ban attained more years of schooling and greater labor market success. The reason is that urban, educated women were more likely to have abortions prior to the policy change, and the relative number of children born to this type of woman increased after the ban. However, when I control for composition using observable background variables, children born after the ban on abortions had worse educational and labor market achievements as adults.

If you are reading this, the chances are that you have a child who is struggling at school. Maybe he or she is finding it difficult to master skills such as reading, writing, maths or spelling. Maybe he or she can do all these things but comes home with reports about unfinished work, or work left at home.
The teacher complains about her being disorganised, untidy or even aggressive towards other children. Or maybe she is described as being unfocused and a daydreamer who never seems to listen. And maybe you agree with the teacher because you see the same behaviour at home.
What's going on? Why did your happy toddler, who so loved to learn, who listened so eagerly to stories, who knew so much about dinosaurs and built wonderful Lego constructions suddenly become this difficult child who can't sit still, can't concentrate, can't follow directions, can't remember the spelling he seemed to know so well last night…?
The school will probably recommend an assessment to get to the bottom of the problem. Now you start the rounds of Occupational Therapists, Psychological testing, Neurologists and even Psychiatrists.
You learn about labels such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactivity, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Central Auditory Processing Problems, and so on. It is highly likely that someone will recommend a drug. But nothing seems to really help. What's going on?
Integrated Learning Therapy (ILT) helps get to the bottom of these problems by considering the child in totality. By means of careful and thorough investigation, ILT practitioners try to unravel the underlying causes of a child's difficulties.
We have found that there is no 'silver bullet' that can promise a quick cure but by tracing aspects of a child's neurodevelopment within his or her environment, we generally are able to help overcome problems to a significant degree and to prevent problems in pre-school and primary school children.
ILT has everything to do with the brain – hence our use of the term 'neuro', referring to nerves that make up the brain and nervous system.
And then, as the name implies, ILT brings together knowledge and practice from related fields. The focus is on the development of our central nervous system (including the brain, the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems) so that components can support our learning and everyday functioning.
For more details about ILT, visit the ILT video gallery, where Prof Shirley Kokot explains the approach and ways of helping.
Aspects of development
Children's development during the early years is influenced by their neurodevelopment, neurophysiology, neurochemistry and neuroanatomy. Often the difficulties they experience with school learning and socially accepted behaviours can be traced to some or other irregularities in one or more of these areas.
ILT uses this knowledge to help pinpoint the possible causes of problems associated with the demands of school and society and helps to overcome them. As such, it is a neurodevelopmental, eco-systemic approach. Using information from related fields of study and practice makes it a multi-disciplinary approach as well.
Why is this necessary?
The body functions as an organism through a complex interplay of many systems (including the central nervous system, visual system, auditory system, digestive system, sensory-motor system, endocrine system and so on).
In addition, these systems interact with others in one's environment (living conditions, food habits, allergens, polluted areas, etc.). Attempts to solve problems by addressing them at only one level (for example, labelling symptoms and 'treating' them from a single perspective) seldom results in total or lasting success.
Understanding the development and functioning of different systems and the impact on those of environmental factors makes it possible to work holistically with our clients.
What is the aim of ILT?
ILT is committed to helping all individuals to realise their potential with efficient functioning in school and/or the workplace as well as in the wider social world.

Chris Bradley is the Executive Chef at Untitled at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which offers a contemporary, farm-to-table take on the classic Manhattan coffee shop.
A native of Statesville, North Carolina, Chris was studying pre-med at Chapel Hill when he decided to switch directions. He began working at the Marketplace in Asheville, NC, eventually working his way up to the Head Chef position. Realizing his future was in cooking, he enrolled in the New England Culinary Institute. During his training, he apprenticed at Café Boulud, eventually earning a full time position. There, he worked under Andrew Carmellini (now the Executive Chef at Locanda Verde and The Dutch), as well as Jean Francois Bruel (Executive Chef at Daniel). He then cooked at Charlie Palmer's Aureole, moving from there to take over Astra, Palmer's Upper East Side events space. Two years later, he assisted with the opening of CP Steak DC in Washington. Chris then landed at Brooklyn's Saul, where he was part of the team that helped the restaurant land a Michelin star- the only non-Manhattan Michelin star in the first NYC guide.

Winning the Heisman Trophy is about more than just talent and individual statistics.
Way more.
You need to be in the national spotlight and ideally need to be competing for the national championship. Your teammates can cost you the crown in a single game, a season can go down the drain in a single play, and the nation can turn their attention elsewhere in a heartbeat.
The Heisman is not just an award for college football's best annual player; it's a popularity contest, and being part of a great team can only make you more popular.
There might be better players out there, but it's whoever has the most exposure, projects himself in the best light to the Heisman voters, and presents the ideal blend of individual dominance and team success.
So lets take a trip into the future to 2013 and begin some early Heisman campaigns for a few of the top talents from the 2011 recruiting class.

On March 14, the Charleston Tri-County branch of Eat Smart, Move More (ESMM) South Carolina launched, "Let's Go H20," a campaign in partnership with Charleston County School District (CCSD) encouraging kids to drink more water. This pilot program in select CCSD elementary schools will encourage students to bring water to school, use the water fountains or purchase bottled water for just $0.50. "Let's Go H20" signage in participating schools will remind students of the importance of drinking plenty of water every day for good health.
Representatives from CCSD Nutrition Services, ESMM and School Wellness Committee members will visit James Simons, Buist and Sullivan's Island Elementary Schools during lunch to pass out free water bottles, stickers and pledge cards and talk with students about the health benefits of drinking water and how to avoid dehydration.
Media partners Live 5 and Cumulus will promote the "Let's Go H20" campaign through public service announcements and messaging.

Skill Level Intermediate
- Hello, I'm Michael Ninness. If you're like most Excel users, you probably know the basics of how to create and format spreadsheets, just enough to get by. This course aims to morph you into an Excel power user. And it's designed to reveal the essential tricks and hidden shortcuts so you can do those everyday tasks in Excel faster and more efficiently. At the start of this course, we'll cover the top ten power shortcuts that all Excel users must memorize. From there, I'll show you how to make Excel fly by keeping your hands on the keyboard as much as possible. I'll teach you dozens of productivity tips, like how to customize the new ribbon interface by adding your most used commands to the quick access tool bar, cool keyboard shortcuts to instantly change the formatting of your text and numerical data, tricks for selecting rows and columns and ranges of cells quickly, and how to get Excel to enter data for you automatically.
I've developed this course so that it can be watched from start to finish and also used as an ongoing quick reference tool. With that in mind, I recommend you breeze through the entire course, but come back often for specific reminders, until you've memorized all the power shortcuts that are relevant to you and your Excel work. Now let's get started with Excel 2007 power shortcuts.

Addicted and need help
My favorite for years!
That is until my dentist told me he called those particular pretzels "teeth breakers". He forbid me to have them.
Now I eat the Synder's minis. Poor substitute for the sourdoughs but I am keeping my teeth intact.(he said with a smile!)
Glutamate is the most common neurotransmitter in the brain. Your brain needs glutamate to function. You would die without it.
You can get quite a headache if you eat a lot of it though.
Get ahold of some Utz Crab Chips and you'll never go back.
Old Bay...need I say more?
You sir are not helping matters. This is serious stuff. /sar
Crab chips, hun? Does living with a crab qualify? I'm gonna regret that......
Will look for it and give it a try. Thanks.
MSG creates addictions, which is why it is used so much in food.
Can you document this statement?
They will soon be banned by Michelle Omarcos, or priced so high you won't want them anymore. Just wait it out.
Gibbles are a faint shadow compared to Grandma Utz. Ny the way, Costco has the BIG bag for sale for $2.29 so I will stock up tomorrow. Several bags will last the weekend.
"Does living with a crab qualify?"
Depends, hon. Does your crab get steamed easily?
My gosh! I had forgotten about the metal Gibbles can. My parents used to buy them when we lived in Lancaster County. Good memory.
Oh Baby.....not going there. :)
Okay, I was in Wal-Mart today, and I happened to go past the Snyder Pretzel rack. In the interest of medical Science, I picked up a bag of the Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces. I'm eating on them right now ... and the bag is so small I know I'll need to make a late-nite run on Wal-Mart tonight, unless the withdrawal is easier than you experienced. ... You just had to get more people hooked so you'd feel normal din'tcha! I'm on my second handful, and it's obvious a cold Corona with lime is in my immediate future. ... Darn freepers ...
The one-stop convenience stories in southern west virginia sells them....I think
I put one in my coat pocket the other day to eat on the way to work and forgot about it. Apparently I bumped into something cause it shattered in my pocket. I ate it anyway
Wow! I paid $2.50 for the little bag I just finished ... I noticed that they ahd sour cream and onion, cheddar cheese, and a couple of other flavors. Surely they don't break that many large pretzels when making whole ones, that they have so much to put in bags of 'pieces'!
many agrobusiness companies intentionally put addictive substances into their processed food items to intentionally create addictionSounds like the book mentioned is just some leftist screed.
If I lived around the corner from a kettle corn emporium, I would weigh 200 pounds.
You lucky dog! I can't even get the jalapeno ones here anymore.
Snyder's of Hanover Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzel Pieces.
They're like CANDY.
Ooooo.... I think I have a reason to visit Taiwan now.
Aha! Another hooked Snyder fan. Yummy aren't they? I'm headed to the store later this morning to restock. I especially like the really small pieces as they seem to have a higher concentration of the seasoning. Go forth and munch.
That's because you live in Vermont. After all, Vermont does push local made products. :) Go to Amazon or Snyder's website and you order all you want. Better order at least a case though as you won't be able to stop eating them.
Those aren't bad either. My mouth is starting to water. Got to run to Stop & Shop!!!
What should I do?
I suggest stopping immediately or in a few months you'll have no teeth left. Those suckers are hard as rocks. Yeah, they're great for tartar control but they're also good for dislodging fillings and serrating the gums. Nevertheless they are tasty.
NOW you tell me, I am eating some as we speak.
The bag where they douse the broken pieces in buffalo hot wing sauce are pretty awesome too.
You have to save the smaller pieces and sprinkle them generously over a large/big salad. Man, that is some kind of good eats! [Just got back from the gun show, so it's off to Wally World for more Jalapeno pieces. Gonna pick up a bag of the cheddar cheese, also.
Great idea. Never thought about putting them on salads. Getting ready to go to the store. Wonder what's on my list?

A headline from the U.K. daily The Guardian kind of encapsulates the appeal of Fat Freddy's Drop, wondering - "Could these men be New Zealand's first soul superstars?"
Judging by their recent fabulous studio album "Dr. Boondigga and the Big BW," the answer's a resounding yes.
Various reviewers have drawn comparisons with '70s funk masters the Average White Band and War, and even to soul legends like Bill Withers and Al Green and the classic Memphis sound.

New Zealand's Fat Freddy's Drop will be playing at the MACC's Castle Theater on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Hisashi Uchida photo
The MACC's "Solo Sessions" series of intimate musical performances includes Jake Shimabukuro's "Peace Love Ukulele Concert" on July 15 in the McCoy Studio Theater.
The exquisitely honeyed vocals of lead vocalist Dallas Tamaira inspired a JamBase review to proclaim: "Fat Freddy's Drop is fronted by a voice for the ages. Dallas Tamaira (aka Joe Dukie) is a singer with so much warmth and soul in his voice that he'd captivate you whether he was busking on the corner or crooning intermittent verses amidst a cacophony of horns and techno thumps, as he is on Boondigga's marathon second track, 'Shiverman.' Dukie is the best singer you've never heard of."
Employing classic soul as a foundation of this wonderful seven-piece band (including a trio of Wellington Jazz School-trained horn players) voyages far and wide, from mesmerizing reggae dub and pulsing techno trance, to Afro-pop and way out to cosmic jazz. And it's all based on massive grooves that allow the band to artfully dance around various influences within a song and venture into extended jams when they perform live.
"It's hard to pigeonhole," says FFD's MC Slave (Mark Williams) talking about the group's unique sound. "It's soul music in all its forms, from reggae to dance. There's a soul theme running through everything. So be prepared to be taken on a bit of journey; it's certainly worth the ride."
Besides soul, Jamaica's infectious rhythms from ska through King Tubby-style dub percolate on a number of tracks.
"Reggae music is a big influence and a big part of where we came from," Williams continues. "We're all reggae fans at heart, but our influences are real broad. Everyone has different styles they like. It's funny: We do get described as a reggae band, and we just accept that that's how people want to box us. OK, we'll go in that box, but if you see the band or listen to the band you know it's not as simple as that."
Just as in Hawaii, Bob Marley profoundly influenced the course of music in New Zealand. "The reggae scene was quite underground (in New Zealand) in the mid-'70s: There were pockets of people bringing in records, like friends of my dads, when they first heard about this crazy music," he explains. "Bob Marley came to New Zealand in 1979, and that tipped the scales. A lot of local musicians decided that was the music they wanted to make. It took off from that point. Now it's standard; there's a big reggae scene and lots of reggae fans."
Led by Samoan beat master DJ Fitchie, Fat Freddy's Drop's first studio album, "Based on a True Story," was a phenomenon in their homeland, debuting at No. 1 in 2005; winning Album of the Year; and remaining on New Zealand's Top 40 chart for more than two years.
After conquering their home, they gradually expanded their appeal beyond the Pacific and were embraced by fans across Europe, who relished their unique musical hybrid.
"It's not premeditated; it just sort of happens," Williams explains of their stylistic diversity. "The boys throw a beat around, and different styles and influences come out. We don't go out of our way to make a certain style of music; it's whatever the boys are getting excited about in the studio. And a lot of music is developed live, finding a good groove or beat, and that will get worked out and a song develops over a six-month to year period, and turns from a jam into a proper song."
Sometimes drawing in their songs from the works of Maori authors like Hone Tuwhare and Witi Ihimaera, one of "Dr. Boondigga's" gems, the dubbed-out "The Raft," pays homage to the epic ocean voyages by Aotearoa's ancestors. "It's about the Pacific migration from Hawaii to New Zealand, written from the perspective of someone who's got on a waka (canoe), as they say in Maori, and traveled across the Pacific," he says. "It's about a struggle and hope to find a new place."
One of the album's biggest surprises, the 10-minute "Shiverman," launches the band into blissful techno territory. Stretched out in their live shows, "Shiverman" can ignite a massed audience into a throbbing whirl of motion - as seen in a video on the band's website from a memorable London gig.
"Into the techno, we like to call it," he notes. "That influence comes from Fitchie; he's a bit of a techno fiend influence comes from Fitchie; he's a bit of a techno fiend - he likes the deep house. And our keyboard player, Ian (Gordon), is mad about it also. After all our trips to Europe, some of it started rubbing off."
After developing a cult following in Europe, Fat Freddy's Drop is getting ready to cultivate the American market. "The last six months we've been introducing ourselves a bit to the West Coast audience because it's relatively close to us," he reports. "It's only in the last year that we've actually attempted to come to America. Before it seemed too difficult, like where do we start? It was clear after many requests and the second album that we should pay a visit. It's exciting to come to a new place and get it going. The shows we did in November compared to now, we're playing to double the crowds. Hopefully we can visit the East Coast and New York. We know from feedback on the website: People are dying for us to go there.
"It's a good live show," he continues. "A lot of bands these days are caught in the same format and are very structured. We have a structure, but there's room within the structure; there's the ability to jam, and that's what keeps it interesting for the band and for the fans. It keeps it fresh for everybody. The songs get a workout every night. And I don't think there are many bands in the world that do that much anymore these days. It's a bit of a lost art form."
The band will release two albums this year, a new studio project and a live CD captured at London's historic Roundhouse.
"It was exciting for us to know that people like The Doors and Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix had played there; so many legendary gigs had gone down there," he says. "It's an awesome venue."
Fat Freddy's Drop "Live At Roundhouse World Tour" arrives on Maui on Saturday evening. "We're very excited about coming to Hawaii," he enthuses. "Talking to people, I really get the feeling there's an excitement there. I met the tour manager for Alborosie, and he said all anybody was talking about was Fat Freddy's Drop coming to Hawaii."
* Fat Freddy's Drop plays the MACC's Castle Theater on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 day of show. Tiva & Pacific Vibes and DJ Boomshot will open. There's a dance floor.
The 2010 Maui Invitational Music Festival presents a free "Concert in the Park" prior to the fireworks at Lahaina's annual Fourth of July Celebration on Sunday, beginning at 5 p.m. on the Library lawn.
The celebration features musical performances by the Maui Community Band, jazz group Latitude 21, and singer Sheryl Renee from Colorado. The Maui Community Band will perform holiday favorites and an especially commissioned new work by Carl Strommen, "Fanfare for Festival."
Produced by the Arts Education for Children Group, the Festival also includes a party at the former Oyster Bar at 744 Front St. in Lahaina from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m., with live and DJ music. There is a $10 cover charge.
Coming up at Stella's Supper Club, John Cruz, joined by bassist Hutch Hutchinson, will perform July 9 and 10. Dinner and show $60, and $30 just for the show.
The MACC will begin a "Solo Sessions" series of intimate musical performances in the McCoy Studio Theater on July 15 with Jake Shimabukuro's "Peace Love Ukulele" concert. Jake says, "I'm thrilled about the show's concept, casual and relaxed, just like playing for my mom and dad when I was a little boy."
Acclaimed classical guitarist Ben Verdery will play a concert at St. John's Church in Kula on July 20 at 7 p.m. The program includes music by Bach, Laderman, Strauss and Jimi Hendrix, as well as his own music.
Ben recently premiered a new work for eight guitars at the Boston Guitar Fest. His most recent album, "Branches," features arrangements of works by Bach, Mozart, Strauss, Hendrix ("Purple Haze") and the traditional "Amazing Grace." "It is exceptional and even rare to find an artist who can successfully record so many diverse styles, and each work brilliantly arranged," praised the French magazine Guitare Classique.
Donations are requested at the door to benefit the church.

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

First Stage's ambitious 'Promised Land' is a dream deferred
Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery. Daly places both girls in the same house on Walnut St., nearly 60 years apart. »Read Full Article

As part of a study of the role of environmental oxygen on retrolental fibroplasia in premature infants of low birth weight,1 observations were made on the tolerance of these infants to early removal from oxygen. Because of the common occurrence of respiratory irregularities associated with immaturity of the respiratory tree, the respiratory center, and the structures of the thoracic cage and the frequent superimposition of intracranial hemorrhage at birth,2 it has been customary to provide small premature infants with an oxygen-rich environment.3 When evidence began to accumulate of the possible harmful effect of oxygen therapy in the causation of retrolental fibroplasia,* it became important to reexamine the necessity for this form of therapy.
The routine practice in the premature nursery of the New York Hospital was to place infants with a birth weight below 1650 gm. in an incubator supplied with oxygen, regardless of

Mountain Man VacationI was on vacation in Tennessee staying in a log cabin located right on the side of Mt. Bluff. It was early in the morning as I gathered my supplies to make the best moutain man breakfast that you would ever sink your teeth into. There was a perfect little charcoal grill for my Dutch oven and along side that was this great big rock I used for my charcoal chimney and other supplies. While the aroma of sausage in the warm air and the amazing view of the mountains as I relaxed in the rocking chair sipping my hot coffee was unbelievable.
