City schools will open as scheduled Sept. 8, but with deep cuts to student transportation, school police and building maintenance, Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. said Friday.
Hite ordered $32 million in budget cuts to ensure enough cash for classes to begin on time, and he said that without action in Harrisburg by Oct. 1, more than 1,000 layoffs and further reductions to school budgets will follow in October.
"We don't know if there's light at the end of the tunnel," a somber Hite said at a news conference.
"We are on the precipice, with the fate of not just the school district, but the city and the broader region at stake," said School Reform Commission Chairman Bill Green.

Father turns son in to policeMarch 27,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont man is facing marijuana charges after his father turned him in to police, saying his son was growing it in some bedroom closets.
Twenty-year-old Nicholas Hough of St. Johnsbury pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of marijuana cultivation and a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession Monday.
Police said Houghs father, Clifton Hough, went to the state police in February and said he suspected his son had set up marijuana growing operations in both of his bedroom closets at their home.
The 51-year-old Hough told police he wanted to put a scare into his son and no longer wanted illegal activity in his home.
Police executed a search warrant several days later and found four suspected marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

The Judge might continue the case to another date if all necessary medical reports are not available, or someone's deposition is required. This is to make sure that there is proper evidence to make a decision, but the Judges are usually not happy when parties come in without all the evidence. It is unlikely that the Judge will deny you a Trial, but more likely that it will take 2 or 3 appearances to see a Court Reporter. There are usually 6-8 Trials on any given day, and only time for 1 or 2. That frustrates everyone involved.
Attorneys are very competitive. Choose the Best Answer so we know who helped you the most.

I will assume that your case is well established and in the final stages. Regardless, you have a right to a hearing or trial if both parties are unable to reach a settlement agreement. The attorneys involved must have collected relevant evidence that points to the issues at hand. In order to have a trial the discovery process (gathering of evidence) needs to be completed prior to the trial. This would include some form of collecting medical reports, taking of depositions, QME or AME reports, etc. If the parties are not ready than either party may request the judge to take the case off calendar until the parties are ready. You cannot be denied your day in court.

To keep track of how the recruiting roster is filling out by position, we've prepared a recruiting roster dating back to 1998 (also in the left hand margin), and its been updated at the link below:
2004 Vandal Football Recruits
As we get more information, we'll keep the recruiting link updated. In the mean-time, make plans to come to Moscow to see the team during the annual Silver and Gold game.
Benjamin Alexander
6-2, 215 Pounds
Lawndale, CA
School: Leuzinger High School (Olympians)
Career Honors:
2nd Team, All-Bay League, LB ('02)
First year head coach Nick Holt and his staff have made speed and toughness a priority in this, their first recruiting season. A prime example of that is southern California linebacking recruit Benjamin Alexander. As a junior Benjamin lined up for the Olympians at TE/WB on offense, and linebacker on defense. He was solid at both, but linebacker was the position where he excelled. Excellent size, agility and speed (a reported 4.32 40 time, with an 11.25 second 100 m time recorded as a junior), he was on the radar screens of several PAC-10 and WAC teams following his junior season...a season in which he earned All League honors in the tough Bay League.
Primed for a break-out senior season, Benjamin's year was cut short after an injury suffered in October. His stats and senior honors fell, but his stock as a solid 1-A prospect did not.
With reported offers from USC, Oregon and Fresno, coach Holt and his staff kept on the trail of Benjamin. One recruiting trip to Moscow to meet with coach Holt, his staff and part of the team, and Benjamin made his verbal commitment to the Vandals.
LINK: Leuzinger High Pre-View
Kristopher Anderson
Offensive Line
6-3, 275 Pounds
Bellflower, CA
School: St. John Bosco High School
Career Honors:
1st Team, All-Serra League, OL
Sticking to his goal to replenish Idaho's offensive line depth (Idaho recruited only 1 HS offensive lineman last season), coach Holt and crew have signed two promising prospects so far, one of which is Kristopher Anderson of St. John Bosco High School.
An All-Serra selection this season, Kristopher was getting solid interest from UCLA and San Jose State (visited the Spartans on 01/09), in addition to having the full attention of the Idaho staff. He made a verbal commitment to the Vandals during his visit last weekend (hosted by Idaho tackle Hank Therien).
An imposing specimen at 6-3, 280, Kristopher was a cog on a resilient St. John Bosco team that went 7-4 on the season in California's powerful Serra League. In 2002 Bosco won the league crown as they defeated powerhouse Mater Dei, defeated Loyola for the first time since 1986, and beat Bishop Amat in La Puente for the first time ever. The 2003 season wasn't quite as successful (their biggest win coming over Servite), but they still made the CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) playoffs.
Kristopher reports a bench of 275 pounds, 450 pound squat and 280 pound clean. He also had a strong showing at the USC Nike Camp.
Offensive Line
6-3, 285 Pounds
Fort Collins, CO
School: Poudre High School (Impalas)
Career Honors:
1st Team, All-State Class 5A, OL (2003)
1st Team, All-Conference, OL (2003)
All-Conference, OL (2002)
Continuing with the search to keep the pipeline of prospects in the OL solid, the Idaho staff received a verbal commitment this week from big Adam Korby out of Fort Collins Colorado. Adam is coming off a strong high school career, and caught the attention of several programs.
Among the schools pursuing Adam were the Air Force Academy (reportedly offered a scholarship), Colorado State, Iowa State, and Northern Colorado (reportedly offered), among others. But it was his visit to the Moscow campus, and his chance to get to know coach Holt's staff better, that sealed the deal for Idaho to land this solid prospect.
A 2-time All Conference selection, and 1st Team All-State selection from Colorado's Class 5A Poudre High School, Adam combines good size, strength (330 pound bench, 450 squat), speed (reported 5.1 40) and footwork. As a left guard for the Impalas, he helped guide his team to the state playoffs this season.
With his background and some hard work, Adam looks like a prospect that should fit in well with the spread offense making a come-back this fall under Holt.

Defensive Line / Offensive Line
6-3, 240 Pounds
Kennewick, WA
School: Kamiakin High School (Braves)
Career Honors:
1st Team, AP All-State 4A, OL
Big 9 Offensive Lineman of the Year (2003)
1st Team, All-Big Nine, OL (2003)
1st Team, All-Big Nine, DL (2003)
Listed by Fab50 among top DEs, (2003)
1st Team, All-Big Nine, OL (2002)
One of the Big 9 Conference's best linemen on either side of the ball in 2003, Brent Rushin is flat-out a go-getter, and is one of 2 Kamiakin Braves to give Idaho an early verbal commitment. From the Tri-Cities Herald newspaper, "In all the photos you see in the paper he's either on the top of the pile or on the bottom," said Kamiakin defensive line coach Chad Potter. "The linebackers are the heart of the defense, and they say they can't get to the ball because Rushin gets there first."
A tireless 2-way starter at home in the trenches, he has a non-stop motor that earned him 1st Team All-Conference honors on both the offensive AND defensive lines, 1st Team All State recognition as an OL, recognition as the Co-Offensive Lineman of the Year for the Big Nine Conference, and he is listed by Fab50 as one of the top DE prospects out of high school. He helped guide Kamiakin to an 11-2 record, played multiple positions on the offensive line, and uses good leverage and explosion off the line when on defense (according to a report on TheInsiders.com).
He's also been among the state's best heavyweight wrestlers during his high-school career, and is considered a baseball prospect.
Not a bad resume.
Defensive Line
6-3, 230 Pounds
Kennewick, WA
School: Kamiakin High School (Braves)
Career Honors:
1st Team, AP All-State 4A, DL (2003)
1st Team, All-Big Nine, DL (2003)
Seattle Times WHITE CHIP Prospect (2003)
H.M., All Big Nine, DL (2002)
Like teammate and fellow Vandal verbal commit Brent Rushin, Kamiakin OG/DT Evan Ruud will be coming to Idaho with a solid football background. A defensive tackle and offensive guard at Kamiakin, he's been an All-League performer 2 years in a row on a team that has dominated the state during his career. The Kamiakin defense didn't give up a touchdown in the first 3 games of this season, ended the year 11-2, and made it to the quarter finals of the state play-offs.
Although Ruud missed part of this season with a serious shoulder injury (both Ruud and teammate, linebacker Nick Genatone, sported special $200 shoulder braces for Kamiakin's heated rivalry regular season game against Pasco that doctors said would work if they could play through the pain...which they did), he was still among the best defensive linemen in the state, and earned 1st Team All-State recognition (Class 4A) on the defensive line.
Kamiakin won the regular season match-up with Pasco, but lost by 6 points in the playoffs to Pasco in a rematch, falling just short of a birth in the State Championship.
When Evan wasn't on the football field, he was tearing things up in track, where this outstanding athlete has a personal best 10 foot standing long jump, and jumped 21'-2" last year at 220 pounds...a sign of a prospect that can move.
Among the first prospects to sign with Idaho to play on the defensive line, Evan looks like a solid prospect under a defensive minded coach such as Nick Holt.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning by ~daarken is an excellent portrayal of an epic battle! ( Suggested by SuperSmurgger and Featured by Moonbeam13 )
this is awesome work, i'm glad they used it on the Title screen
Amazing! You must have great imagination for action scenes.
how can that little schmuck win against that huge badass monster?
Doing dem barrell rolls and attacking from the back. Or roll close-up and beat the breath out of the troll by hitting in chest/belly.
i dont no being able to use fate power and that big ass hammer i would not like to be that monster right now
lame ..
Trolls are one of the hardest creatures in the game to beat. Resistant to all sorts of damage except poison, and also equipped with ranged attacks as well as some painful combo breakers.
So yes(realistically speaking... or typing) that little schmuck can't win against the troll.
But it's a bloody game... TO HELL WITH REALISM!!

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Watch Sturgill Simpson's surprise performance at Beloit College commencement
After wrapping up a weekend of performances in Wisconsin -- Milwaukee Friday night and Appleton Saturday -- rising country musician Sturgill Simpson and his band surprised attendees at Beloit College's commencement Sunday with a performance of "Turtles All the Way Down" from his new critically acclaimed album, "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music."
Arrangements for Simpson's unannounced and unexpected performance began after his appearance earlier this month on "A Prairie Home Companion." According to a release from the college's Director of Communications and Marketing Jason Hughes, Beloit College President Scott Bierman reached out to Simpson's management after hearing the song and connecting it to the school's own "infinite turtle theory," which he has used to instill the role each student on campus has in the lives of each other. According to Hughes, the school's campus features turtles on ancient Indian mounds and also celebrates the reptile as an unofficial mascot – making the song a perfect connection for the graduating class. »Read Full Blog Post

Although cholera had been endemic to the Ganges delta for thousands of years, it was the globalisation of the early nineteenth century that caused its spread across the world into pandemic proportions. Triggering severe diarrhoea, it causes serious dehydration, and children are especially vulnerable. The first of the century's pandemic never really reached Britain, but by 1866 it had already hit the country twice in the past three decades. It resulted in approximately 6000 deaths, and although this was far less than in previous epidemics, it was now that the government was finally spurred to act, in part because of the actions of Dr John Snow, who in 1854 had identified the source of a particular local outbreak to its pump, which was …

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
The purpose of this study is to measure and compare the effects of increasing sleep times versus keeping usual (inadequate) sleep times, on the blood pressure control of patients who have prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension.
Study statuses change often. Please contact us for help.
Open for enrollment
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
New treatments of the future may use stem cells, cells that naturally occur in our belly/abdominal fat, to help people with kidney disease. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of two drugs on stem cells, physical body function (or frailty), kidney function, and the clearance of senescent cells. Study participants will include individuals with chronic kidney disease. This information will help plan for future studies using stem cells to treat kidney disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of KRN23 administered to adult patients with inoperable tumor-induced osteomalacia or epidermal nevus syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Rituximab therapy is safe and effective in treating patients with the kidney condition, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), that is no longer responsive to traditional therapies.
The purpose of this study is to determine how seizures and seizure disorders alter the way the body controls blood pressure and heart rate.
Evidence suggests a relationship between sleep deprivation and cardiovascular disease. The investigators wish to determine whether 9 nights of modest sleep restriction results in activation of cardiovascular disease mechanisms, thus potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The investigators hypothesize that sleep restriction will result in elevated blood pressure, inflammation, and neurocognitive deficits.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of LJPC-501 (angiotensin II) on the mean arterial pressure in adult patients with catecholamine-resistant hypotension.
Minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and Membranous nephropathy (MN), generate an enormous individual and societal financial burden, accounting for approximately 12% of prevalent end stage renal disease (ESRD) cases (2005) at an annual cost in the US of more than $3 billion. However, the clinical classification of these diseases is widely believed to be inadequate by the scientific community. Given the poor understanding of MCD/FSGS and MN biology, it is not surprising that the available therapies are imperfect. The therapies lack a clear biological basis, and as many families have experienced, they are often not beneficial, and in fact may be significantly toxic. Given these observations, it is essential that research be conducted that address these serious obstacles to effectively caring for patients.
In response to a request for applications by the National Institutes of Health, Office of Rare Diseases (NIH, ORD) for the creation of Rare Disease Clinical Research Consortia, a number of affiliated universities joined together with The NephCure Foundation the NIDDK, the ORDR, and the University of Michigan in collaboration towards the establishment of a Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) Rare Diseases Clinical Research Consortium.
Through this consortium the investigators hope to understand the fundamental biology of these rare diseases and aim to bank long-term observational data and corresponding biological specimens for researchers to access and further enrich.
The purpose of this study is to establish a database to collect and analyze information on metabolic and environmental risk factors for kidney stone formation in children.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple-dose administration of OMS721 in subjects with thrombotic microangiopathies, which include atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated TMA, and refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenia.
