I am saying they are NOT able to process salt at all because their livers are not fully developed and should NOT be fed it AT ALL.
And I was saying I forgot that until she posted it. I doubt one serving of spagettios damaged her liver. I learned it after I fed DJ a pickle at 10 months and PTM linked me up the info, I couldn't change it, but I didn't do it again. And I wouldn't act like it's not a big deal. Because IMO it is. So you posted because you weren't sure right? Salt is no good before a year. So avoid all processed foods for sure. Feed baby only whole foods. (And not bacon.)

STILLWATER, Minn. (AP) -- Stillwater prison guard John Hillyard will keep his job while many state government operations come to a halt, but he's worried about the inmates becoming restless. Correction officers at state prisons are working without support staff. Daily activities and programs as well as recreation and inmate visits are canceled.
Hillyard says when the inmates have nothing to do, "they cause trouble; they cause mayhem."
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says maintenance workers that keep up and repair aging prisons won't be on the job either. Many state operations came to a halt at 12:01 Friday because an agreement could not be reached on the state budget.

Lo Hartog van Banda was one of Holland's most prolific scriptwriters. Born in The Hague, he worked as a journalist for a while and attended the Art Academy before heading for the Dutch Indies at age 20. He found employment with a newspaper as copywriter and advertisement illustrator, but was interned during World War II. He returned to Holland after the Liberation. He worked with the Ministry of Finance in 1946 and later worked for the Dutch-Indies Insurance Company NILLMIJ. He picked up writing stories in his spare time. These were initially published in the science fiction magazine Fantasie en Wetenschap, that he started with his buddy Ben Abas, but later also in the magazines published by De Geïllustreerde Pers.
His career in comics took off in 1952, when he went to work at the Marten Toonder Studios. He soon became one of the main scriptwriters for the factory. He worked on ongoing productions like the newspaper comics 'Aram', 'Kappie', 'Otto', 'Koning Hollewijn', and 'Panda', and the 'Tom Poes', 'Hiawatha' and 'Big Bad Wolf' stories the studios produced for the weekly magazine Donald Duck. He was most of all Marten Toonder's co-plotter on many of the daily 'Tom Puss' newspaper stories.

Among the series he created for the studio were the science fiction series 'Martin Evans' (art by Ben Abas, Dick Vlottes and Gerrit Stapel) in 1955 and the women's balloon strip 'Marion' with Jan Wesseling in 1957. He also set up the philosophical newspaper strip 'Student Tijloos' with at first Gerrit Stapel and later Thé Tjong-Khing for Algemeen Dagblad in 1961. He continued to work with Khing for many years, especially on the colorful album 'Iris' in 1968 and the space opera newspaper strip 'Arman en Ilva' between 1969 and 1975.
Arman en Ilva, art by Thé Tjong Khing
Banda left the Toonder Studios in 1965, upon Marten Toonder's departure to Ireland. He worked as a copywriter for two years, before he began a collaboration with De Geïllustreerde Pers. For comics magazine Pep, he created series like 'De Argonautjes' and 'Ridder Roodhart' with Dick Matena, 'Ambrosius' with Gideon Brugman, 'Blook' with Johnn Bakker and 'Arad en Maya' with Jan Steeman. He also wrote many scripts for the girls' magazine Tina, including 'Patty' with Gideon Brugman and 'De Twee van Oldenhoek' with Thé Tjong Khing.
Student Tijloos - Een droesel op de vliering (art by Gerrit Stapel)
Lo Hartog van Banda dropped most of his comics activities during the 1970s, and went on to write successful children's television shows like 'Tita Tovenaar' (1972-1978), 'De Berenboot' (1976-1978) and 'De Astronautjes' (1978-1979). During the 1980s, he wrote three episodes of the 'Lucky Luke' series by Morris, of which the first one, 'Fingers', is generally considered one of the best 'Lucky Luke' albums since Goscinny's death. Lo Hartog van Banda died in February 2006, at the age of 89. One of his final projects was the script for a 'Ti Ta Tovenaar' musical. His son Rolf has also written comics, and has regularly worked together with his father.

Arecent visit to some of the farmers' markets in Northern Michigan produced everything I needed to make fresh pasta sauce. We are so fortunate living here with our agricultural diversity and for the next couple of months the harvest is on which bodes well for all sorts of canning projects. Making homemade salsas and tomato sauces are easy and not as time consuming as one might think.
During a recent interview with Chef Mario Batali he emphasized that every "great recipe and meal starts at the store." He took it a step further about getting the freshest ingredients as possible and knowing where your food comes from. Batali, in addition to being a celebrity chef and owner of several top restaurants, is also a bestselling cookbook author. Many of his cookbooks have an Italian theme with plenty of pasta sauce recipes.
While making homemade pasta sauce is relatively simple, it is not always convenient. Unlike many celebrities who lend their name to just about anything, Mario Batali does not. He is hands-on at all of his restaurants as well as his Italian winery (see Bottoms Up) and so when you see his name on a product, you can expect that it meets his high standards. A few years back he released a collection of Mario Batali Pasta Sauces.
The collection of sauces include Pizza, Marinara, Alla Vodka, Arrabbiata, Cherry Tomato and Tomato Basil. My personal favorite is the Arrabbiata because I like spicy foods and this has some zip to it. The sauce is made with crushed red pepper and San Marzano tomatoes with a nice balance of capers and fresh garlic.
Summer Garden Food Manufacturing, the only Green LEED Certified Manufacturing facility in North America makes Batali's sauces for him. "These are all natural sauces and made in small batch production to ensure consistent product quality and great taste in every jar. No paste, puree, or sugar is added to any of my sauces making them great options for the health conscious consumer." The sauces are sold in Northern Michigan; for locations and details check out www. mariobatali.com ---Rick Coates

I really need advice on the following. DD is 6 weeks old and I have to attend a course this week. I pumped and froze A LOT of BM previously in order for her to get breastmilk when I am gone this week.
This morning I smelled and tasted a container with thawed milk that was frozen about 2 weeks ago. I tasted really funny - almost rancid. Can I still give this to her?
She got freshly pumped milk today and that did not taste/smell funny at all (I pumped this yesterday).
I read on some of the posts that excess Lipase can make milk smell/taste funny - how do I know if this is the cause and also, could I still give the milk to her?

SH Coatings LP
SH Coating protects power lines from inclement weather as well as contamination from salt deposits that often cause flashovers in coastal environments. The coating can be applied to existing power lines and equipment in any field condition.
The most important application is coating power lines in ice storm threatened areas. Power lines coated with SHC prevent the ice build-up that come with ice storms by repelling the rain that ordinarily falls on power lines and freezes there forming a wing on the leeward side of the line and causing the lines to gallop during wind events. This action destroys the poles carrying the lines as well as cause lines to short out. Damage caused by these events causes severe economic damage to communities, and blacks out large areas of a region's power grid when they hit - sometimes for extended times.
The most extreme damage example was an ice storm that almost completely shut down the grid around Montreal, Canada, in 1998. That storm caused $5 Billion in damage to the network, not including collateral damage to commercial, industrial and residential interests. There are many examples of similar here in the United States.
The Ice Belt here in the United States ranges from Montana to New Mexico and then east through the plains such as Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas, where upper level low-pressure areas met high-pressure artic weather. Much of the Midwest and New England have also experienced ice storms that cause deaths as well as significant economic damage due to power outages. There has been no technology available until now to protect these systems. The SHC technology is now available and will help protect these important systems from problems created by these ice storms.
Costs to repair networks are great. The average cost of replacing one wooden power pole is approximately $2,000.00. With approximately 20 to 25 poles per mile, the cost can easily exceed $30,000 per mile. It is not unheard of for a single ice storm to pull down thousands of poles, which can cost a municipality from $20 to $40 million. Ask a rural electric coop what his biggest nightmare is and he will tell you an ice storm. That is what keeps their attention to the weather during the winter months. SHC will protect our power networks and defend against this catastrophe.
While our focus is upon damages caused by ice on power lines, we also believe that the SHC coating can be applied safely and effectively to adjoining trees and greenery that may threaten power lines by collapsing onto them. The SHC coating is toxicologically safe for the environment and could be sprayed onto dormant trees and greenery to prevent ice built up. While this treatment has yet to be tested, we believe that it is a viable possibility that will not harm the environment.
A reliable working and protected power network during winter events is important to the wellbeing of local, as well as large, networks and economies.
Iowa Powder Atomization Technologies, Inc. (IPAT), based in Nevada, Iowa, is using gas atomization technology developed at Ames Laboratory to make titanium powder with processes that are ten times more efficient than traditional powder-making methods — significantly lowering the cost of the powder to manufacturers. The powder form of titanium is easier to work with than having to cast the metal — where manufacturers melt and pour liquid metal into molds — particularly given titanium's tendency to react with the materials used to form molds. Titanium's strength, light weight, biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for use in a variety of parts — from components for artificial limbs — like those used by wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan — to military vehicle components, biomedical implants, aerospace fasteners and chemical plant valves.
Vorbeck Materials, based in Jessup, Md., is using a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)-developed method for building tiny chemical structures to greatly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that are widely used in portable devices such as laptops and power electric vehicles. Vorbeck is using PNNL's method to develop better lithium air and lithium sulfur batteries. The new material in Vorbeck's batteries stores twice as much electricity at high charge and discharge rates as current lithium-ion batteries, and creates increased battery capacity and a longer cycle life.
Borla Performance Industries, based in Johnson City, has an option to license a novel, nano-pore membrane technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Combining this innovation with Borla's exhaust technology will lead to a low cost, unique exhaust system that will double as an energy neutral device to recover and reclaim clean water from engines powered by diesel, gasoline or natural gas. Military and commercial applications include transport and stationery power plants, marine, cars and trucks.
Teknikem is developing a chemical blend platform technology invented by the Y12 National Security Complex that is known as RonJohn. RonJohn is a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to dangerous chemicals and processes used to strip paints and adhesives from parts and equipment. RonJohn is not toxic, not flammable, not carcinogenic but is biodegradeable and very effective on many plastics, paints, and adhesives. Market segments and channels are being developed including the military, aerospace, shipping construction/maintenance, ground transportation, general industry, and consumer retail.
US e-Chromic LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado, will use electrochromic technology developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to create a new thin film window material that reflects sunlight on demand, making windows more energy efficient while reducing cooling costs for consumers.
Element One, based in Boulder, Colorado, has created the only available coatings that change color when detecting hydrogen and other hazardous gas leaks, either reversibly or non-reversibly, to provide both current and historical information about leaks. Element One's patented gas indicators and sensors use catalyzed thin films or nanoparticles of a transition metal oxide to create very low cost sensors for use in industrial and consumer environments, greatly reducing the potential for undetected leaks and their cost and safety implications. This technology is also being integrated for use in refineries, industry gas and fuel cells systems and was developed using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Umpqua Energy, based in Medford, Oregon, is using an Argonne National Laboratory technology to develop a system that allows a gasoline engine to operate in an extreme lean burn mode in order to increase gasoline mileage. One negative side effect of a lean burn engine, whether powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, is an increase in the amount of harmful gases released to the environment. The company expects to both increase fuel economy and simultaneously reduce emissions with its system.
7AC Technologies, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, is developing Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems for Commercial and Industrial buildings using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. These Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems deliver a 50 to 75 percent reduction in energy usage over conventional HVAC units. The system consists of a membrane conditioner responsible for drying and cooling the air and a heat-driven regenerator. The liquid desiccant design allows for the utilization of solar or waste heat sources, paving the way for net-zero energy retrofits to existing buildings with costs comparable to conventional HVAC.
California Lithium Battery (CaLBattery), based in Los Angeles, California, is developing a low-cost, advanced lithium-ion battery that employs a novel silicon graphene composite material that will substantially improve battery cycle life. When combined with other advanced battery materials, it could effectively lower battery life cycle cost by up to 70 percent. Over the next year, CALBattery will be working with Argonne National Laboratory to combine their patented silicon-graphene anode material process together with other advanced ANL cathode and electrolyte battery materials.
SynchroPET, based in Shoreham, New York, is a start-up biotech firm with the next generation of PET Scanners, which have superior imaging capabilities to what is currently available on the market today. SynchroPET's technology was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and it enabled SynchroPET to miniaturize the typical PET Scanner while improving its image. SynchroPET's technology can be paired with an existing MRI machine for a simultaneous image. These advances will accelerate the creation of new pharmaceuticals to treat cancers, and Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases. SynchroPET currently has four prototypes built, and each have been used by researchers from labs in New York.
Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions, Inc., based in Belmont, California, uses Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscopes (DTEM) to enable imaging of nanoscale objects, such as proteins, thin films and nanoparticles at unprecedented time scales and frame rates. By utilizing a laser-driven electron source, DTEMs are able to produce short bursts of electrons that can form an image with nanometer resolution in as little as 10 nanoseconds. This enables observation of dynamics in material systems that play an important role in a wide range of energy technologies, including battery electrodes, petroleum catalysts, solar cell materials, and organisms for bio fuel growth. Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions uses technology developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Woodmont Enterprises, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is creating a top-coat solution moisture barrier product for oriented-strand board (OSB), an engineered wood product formed by layering flakes of wood, by using technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The primary focus is to create a moisture barrier on OSB during transportation and after installation. One net benefit to moisture protected OSB after installation is mold resistance.
TrakLok, Inc., based in Knoxville, Tenn., intends to use an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)-developed, technology for tagging, tracking, locating and communicating with cargo containers and trailers in transit. The ORNL technology provides an avenue to meet increasing requirements for shipping containers to be "smart boxes" that can be tracked electronically. TrakLok uses GPS technology and satellite communications as part of its tracking and warning capability and international container locking technology to protect against container tampering, theft, vandalism and smuggling. Shipments can be tracked through a web-accessible, information technology-based global tracking system to provide real time visibility of cargo.

For Immediate Release
November 17, 2003
Charleston, Ill. The Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) today gave Spotlight School recognition
to five central and eastern Illinois public schools that
have achieved high academic performance in an environment
in which a majority of students come from low-income families.
State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller
presented plaques to each of the Spotlight Schools
during a special reception at Eastern Illinois University
in Charleston. The five schools recognized are:
We are extremely pleased to be able to honor these
schools, said Robert E. Schiller, State Superintendent
of Education. Each of them shows that students at
any grade level and in a challenging economic environment
can be motivated to learn and, more importantly, to achieve.
The five schools are among Illinois schools where a majority
of students come from low-income families, and in which
60 percent or more of students passed rigorous state tests
in 2003. The schools are part of a total of 27 Spotlight
Schools identified statewide. In addition to meeting
specific student demographic criteria, the Spotlight
Schools have met the Adequate Yearly Progress
standards imposed by the federal No Child Left Behind
initiative and the states accountability system.
The accomplishments of these schools demonstrate
that high-poverty schools can bridge the well-documented
achievement gap between high-income and low-income
students, and between students of color and their white
and other peers, Schiller said.
The Spotlight Schools awards are a joint effort between
ISBE and Northern Illinois University, which has researched
high-poverty, high-performance schools.
There are not many Spotlight Schools, NIU
President John Peters said, but their significance
is monumental. Our research at NIU has identified 10 commonalities
among high-poverty, high-performing schools. Given the
importance of their accomplishments, these schools deserve
close attention from scholars and dedicated support from
all of us interested in raising student achievement.
Marilyn McConachie, director of the Spotlight Schools
Project for NIU Outreach, said recognition of the Spotlight
Schools should inspire other educators to believe that
they can truly make a difference in helping all children
reach high expectations.
The conventional wisdom is that low-income students
provide an excuse for low performance, McConachie
said. What we have here are schools that disprove
conventional wisdom. For them, demographics are not destiny.
Their students are extraordinarily more successful than
students at comparable schools. What theyre doing
is special, and they deserve to be praised.
The extraordinary accomplishments of the Spotlight Schools
are thrown into relief by NIU statistics that, unfortunately,
paint a bleak picture.
Nearly 38 per cent of the 2.1 million children in Illinois
come from low-income families. Percentages of achievement
drawn from low-income schools can dwell in the bottom
quarter. At one high-poverty high school, only 17 per
cent of students met reading standards while the percentages
of student meeting math, writing and science standards
were 7 percent, 4 percent and 3 percent respectively.
Meanwhile, numbers at schools with more affluent students
often are quite opposite.
While just 40 percent of Illinois third-graders from
low-income families meet state standards, 75 percent of
their peers do. Merely 20 per cent of low-income high
school juniors meet math standards, a number that more
than triples to 65 per cent in schools with more affluent
The 27 Spotlight Schools have beaten the odds, however,
proving the gap can be closed. Four criteria were used
to determine the Spotlight School designation:
The common characteristics of high-poverty, high-performing
schools, according to NIUs Center for Governmental
Studies, include:

Undocumented Thinking
As I cling on tight to my last week here I wonder if I´ll also be able to hold on to all of the thinking I´ve done here. All of the emotive revelations and euphoric epiphanies and most often, ground breakingly mundane simplicities that make my head sway heavy against the bus window watching the cerros roll by. Sound like just words to you? I´ll tell you about the people here.
Let´s start with Payita. Her real name is Rafaela Valverde Guardado, but here Palla is a nickname for Rafaela, and -ita is an endearing term for names so imagine a long-skirted, handkerchief dawning, dark-haired, light-skinned, tenderhearted, Evangelical librarian with her hair pulled tightly back and you have the most wonderful woman I have ever had the privilege of working with. But she is tired. Some days I come in and she has her head on the desk, with the mini rotating fan by her desk pumping out a meager trickle of cool air. Payita has been at the library in Achuapa for 14 years, and despite her dispicably low salary of $30 a month, she continues to serve the children and students and farmers and parents and teachers of Achuapa because she has found a small corner there among the books and high-pitched voices and shelves of promise. If I suggest something to her, she´s not only supportive, but insists on partaking in a large role, even if it means coming earlier, staying later, working until she gets a sun rash and has sweat dripping down her forehead. It was a happy team, Payita and I that scrubbed the library walls clean at 6am to paint and we got the world map mural done and even if I leave the library in a paper-scrap treachery at the end of the day there are no hard words or faces, only a ¨dalepues¨and an adios as we part ways with a (I hope) mutual satisfaction at a day well spent among friends.
Next is Gladys, my host mom and herbal medicine acupuncturist extraordinaire, with her cooking skills well molded from the age of 14 when she left home and her 13 brother and sisters to be a domestic in a wealthy home in Leon. She says she knew nothing when she left. She learned by saying that she did. They only had rice and beans to eat on the farm, so how was she supposed to know how to cook meat and vegetables delicacies? How? She was always the first to ask. How do YOU do it, she would say. And after having heard everything, she said, Ah yes! I do it the same. And this is how she went on. After having three children, Gladys found out her husband was unfaithful and told him to get out of her house. She supported her family by learning natural medicine, and using her by now well refined cooking abilities to sell food out of the house. She has a hearty laugh and a full smile and also comes home tired, virtually working from 6am-8pm at night between washing clothes, cooking, working in the clinic, taking care of her grandson Leo, and giving massages at night. Gladys is a lovely lady. She sings Sandinista songs on Sunday morning. She makes pancakes for me every morning. I´m going to miss her.
Now Margini! HOMBRE, KATI, should some it up. She´s lovely, and its maybe because I see her most but also maybe because when Gladys doesn´t understand me she does and maybe its because she has a high-pitched squeal of a laugh that I can´t come near to imitate and maybe its just coming home and being happy that she is there to talk to until it gets dark and we have to turn the kitchen light on and then if I have to say something I can just say it over the bedroom wall because they don´t extend to the ceiling and I know she´ll be there rocking rocking baby Leo to sleep in the hard-wood rocking chairs that line our living room wall. Hombre, Kati!
These are the women that have become the rulers of my life. They feed and herbally medicate me, talk and listen to me, accompany me through the anguish and joy of pure chavalero (kid-ness). They are stern and silent, laugh-filled and carefree, they have been gathering the straws that built my nest.
As I prepare to leave I like to know that their voices are the chorus of my adventures-to-be, back home again and under a landscape less green.

BSC's Dr. Anthony Curtis Helps Students by Cultivating Enthusiasm for Learning
CreatedThursday, October 06 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Dr. Anthony Curtis has taken to heart the adage that "there's a little bit of good in everyone (or everything)." Curtis, who recently joined the Bluefield State College faculty as an Assistant Professor of Biology, is one of the region's authorities on termites.
He has put together a web-based source of information (www.thetermitepage.com) on the seven families and 2500 species of termites, but just as important, he's transmitting his passion for biology to his students at Bluefield State College.
"The students here are eager to learn," he observed. "I have an enthusiasm for biology, but I'm only one-half of the equation, at most. The students' preparation out of class and their participation in class combine to constitute the other side of the equation. I want them to be engaged in what we are studying. It's tremendously satisfying to see students 'turned on' to biology."
Curtis earned a bachelor's and master's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, then received a Ph.D. in Ecology from Old Dominion University. He met his wife, Dianna (now an OB-GYN M.D.), at ODU. "I taught primarily at the adjunct level at several institutions including Roanoke College, Virginia Western Community College, and Randolph-Macon," he recalled. He accepted an opportunity to join the BSC faculty for the start of the fall 2011 semester, and he's splitting time teaching at BSC's Bluefield campus and the College's location in the Erma Byrd Higher Education Center in Beaver.
In his role as scholar/teacher, he'll defend the oft-maligned termite. "The ecological importance of termites is significant," he explained. "They contribute to the global carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle. While termites may be very destructive to human carpentry endeavors, they are very favorable to forest ecosystems because they are involved in the biogeochemical (nutrient) cycling of carbon and nitrogen."

The next time little Johnny turns his nose up at the meatloaf before him; you can try enticing him by letting him in on a little secret — it's actually sugar beef, infused with gummy bears and cookies.
And you won't be lying.
Recently, news reports have surfaced that, in an effort to defray record high grain costs, some in the cattle industry have turned to alternative feed supplements to maintain their herds.
Don't tell the Trix rabbit, but, cattle growers in some areas of the country are re-purposing sugary human foods that would otherwise be tossed out — candy, cookies and sweetened cereals — and are using them to supplement feed strained by drought, rising costs and dwindling supply.
The cows, often fed sweetened feeds anyway, surely aren't complaining, and it is a solution that is working during otherwise trying times.
Interestingly enough, however, some consumers seem upset by news of the practice and from coast-to-coast, reader reactions are consistently negative.
Curious, in a strictly non-scientific poll, I posed the question to numerous people and was surprised when people scrunched up their noses, shook their heads and said, "No, that's bad for the cows."
Most cited candy as unhealthy and over-processed and some even worried the cows could develop health issues like diabetes.
So while the average American consumes almost 25 pounds of candy each year, it seems they don't want their food to eat it.
Another comment that seems to follow the issue is, "Let them eat grass!"
Ironic that about 300 years ago, a similar statement was made in the inverse, suggesting that rather than complain they had no bread to eat, people should eat pastry.
Given the plight faced by roughly 38,000 wild mustangs roaming drought stricken grasslands, it seems a little like a non-option to turn out the 97.8 million head of cattle the USDA reported in the U.S. as of July.
Perhaps ideally all cows would have a patch of green to call their own, but it's all about supply and demand, and because consumers expect their burgers and cheese when they drive-thru, the herds are already here.
And they need to eat — tough times or not.
Cows are different than people and as ruminant animals, whose stomachs use fermentation and sugars in digestion, they can process things humans and other animals can't.
In 2002, animal sciences researcher Mary Beth Hall acknowledged more studies are needed on purified sugar additives in cattle feed. However, Hall said they can be beneficial when the base feed is low-sugar, and can also lead to increased milk production.
Also calling for more research, another feed expert, Dr. P. George Kunju John of India, even suggests humans might be better off letting cows process all sugar instead of eating it directly.
… Now wait a minute, no research required — Mooove away from the candy!

April 5, 2011 —
A group of nursing students, who were dropped from the nursing program at Sullivan County Community College (SCCC) after inadequate performance on "skillings," have brought a lawsuit against the college seeking re-admittance to the program.
The students claim there were a number of irregularities regarding the skillings, which are also called clinical competencies exams, or tests involving such skills as setting up intravenous feeding operations. First among the irregularities is that the first time the skillings were administered, only 17 of the 82 students who took them passed. The second time the skillings were administered in early February, 19 students failed and were removed from the program.
The students grieved the process and the results were thrown out and the removals overturned. However, that decision was then overturned and most of the students took the opportunity given by the college to take the skillings a third time. Sixteen students took the skillings and only one student passed.
Overall, according to figures from the college, 78% of the students who took the test ultimately passed.
In the lawsuit filed by Monticello lawyer Steven Mogul, the students claim that the SCCC nursing handbook says that only two skillings will be required during a 30-minute period. But in actuality they were required to complete three as well as a written portion. Additionally, it says that in the third skilling, the students were made to work with equipment they had not used before.
The lawsuit also claims that there is no mechanism that allows for the initial decision—to overturn the results of the grievance process—to be overruled. Had the initial decision remained in place, that would have allowed the students to remain in the program.
Also, the lawsuit claims that the college was making a deliberate attempt to lower the number of students in the nursing program because the lower numbers would give the college a higher pass rate. Mogul said that some of the 11 students who brought the lawsuit had very high grade point averages.
The lawsuit seeks to have the students re-admitted into the nursing program.
Vincent Begley, a spokesman for the college, said because the matter involves ongoing litigation, and because it involves "internal individual student grading issues," which are confidential, it would be improper for anyone from the college to offer a comment.

Concluding a successful and rewarding conference, New York Yankees shortstop and captain Derek Jeter participated in a special panel discussion for the bi-annual conference's 250 high school students. Joined by Ronnie Cho, associate director of the Office of Public Engagement and White House liaison to young Americans; Marion Jones, world champion track and field athlete and former WNBA player; Ron Cortina, vice president of Goldman Sachs; and motivational speakers and best-selling authors, The Three Doctors, Dr. Sampson Davis, Dr. George Jenkins and Dr. Rameck Hunt, the panel was moderated by award-winning journalist and CEO of Starfish Media Group, Soledad O'Brien. The impressive panel addressed topics critical to today's youth, including bullying, self-image and coping with tragedy.
"These high school students -- who have traveled far and wide to come together and identify solutions to the challenges affecting folks their age -- are certainly an inspiration to me and I think we can all learn from the example they've set," Jeter said. "I know they will take what they've learned at the Jeter's Leaders Leadership Conference and use these lessons to make their communities better."

Man, that sucks.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
It doesn't matter as much for me anymore at least... I have decided I am going to get a really good spot for Gorillaz regardless of who I have to miss.
yeah, i've been pondering all the shows playing here that weekend too. like i've said before, it seems more of a "kick-in-the-gut" than years passed. oh well...that just speaks to how good the lineup is this year. i do hope jonsi comes back around this way though. my gut is he'll play last on sunday; probably against orbital. sadly, it looks like orbital is gonna lose.
What makes you think he is going to play after Gorillaz, and against Orbital?
just my gut. he just seems like the perfect closer for the outdoor and i'm gonna guess that the outdoor will be dark during gorillaz. and, hasn't the past couple years had the sahara closer going on after the main closer was supposed to finish (the Cure's stage squatting notwithstanding)
but, what the fuck do i know....this is an internet message board for fux sake.
you guys are gonna be disappointed by gorillaz. just sayin'.
Some may be, but if Damon is there, I won't be disappointed.
that was my attitude back when i saw them. i'm not sure i've ever been that bored at a show though...
The 2001 shows, or the Demon Days shows?
that's a heavy weight, my man. for your sake, i hope they come through!
But at same time, everyone reading this... It is totally going to suck, you should beat the traffic and go home early.

UEC took possession of the Mount Lucas project in December 2009 as part of an acquisition of assets and liabilities from a previous owner. In the time that followed, the company worked closely with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to meet stringent criteria and ensure the radium contamination levels were reduced to levels protective of human health and the environment, according to a news release.
Last month, the state of Texas released the Mount Lucas uranium mining and reclamation project to unrestricted use, giving the Cartwright family back their land and restoring the environment in a way that would allow for crop production, animal grazing and recreation for the first time in many years, according to a news release issued by Uranium Energy Corp.
UEC leadership believed the Cartwrights had "suffered too long as a result of neglect on the part of the project's prior ownership," and chose to prioritize the Mount Lucas project, working swiftly to complete surface reclamation in 11 months, the news release shows.
In providing clearance to the TCEQ to release Mount Lucas to unrestricted use, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission noted that the site's wells had been closed and plugged, all radiologically contaminated materials had been properly disposed of and that the groundwater had been adequately restored to meet applicable standards and requirements, according to the release.
The ranch has been owned and operated by multiple generations of the Cartwright family for more than 100 years.
Spanning almost 15,000 acres adjacent to Lake Corpus Christi, it is full of mesquite trees, Texas sage and all forms of wildlife. There, the Cartwright family raises cattle and sheep, farms grass and hosts numerous hunting, bird watching and photography events.
"The Cartwrights will enjoy that land because of the extraordinary efforts and commitment of Uranium Energy Corp., which took on the significant burden of the Mount Lucas reclamation effort with the goal of restoring the land, returning it to its rightful owners and demonstrating its commitment to the community and the environment," Craig Wall, environmental health and safety manager for UEC, explained in the release.

Liquor control board revokes license of Doug's Bar in BenningtonMarch 30,2013Vt. liquor board
revokes bar license
BENNINGTON — A downtown bar, Doug's on Main Street, was shut down abruptly on Friday after their liquor license was revoked by the Vermont Liquor Control Board following a hearing on Wednesday, according to Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette.
Sgt. Thomas Curran, who serves with the Vermont Department of Liquor Control, served the paperwork at DOM, Inc., which operates as Doug's Bar. The papers were given to Doug Goble, who owns the business along with his mother, Mary Goble.
The order gives Goble 15 days to remove the alcohol from the premises.
Doucette said Doug's can no longer serve, sell or give alcohol away. If alcohol is served there, it would be a criminal offense that could be punishable by a $1,000 fine or a six-month jail sentence.
The bar was shut down after an undercover operation uncovered violations in January. Another undercover operation resulted in a 10-day liquor license suspension in September.
Doug's has been a controversial business in Bennington. The Select Board has had several discussions about the business based on reports from Doucette that several criminal incidents either happened at Doug's or involved people who had been drinking there.
Doucette said Doug's had been the site of more than 100 incidents since he took over as chief in 2010. Doucette said Goble was very cooperative when the order was served on Friday.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

I can't believe how the mods on ES ban people left and right just for voicing their opinions.
I won't even put ES in my browser anymore. I can't support a site like that.
This is the first forum I posted in, and I hope it's the last.
I almost want to join just so I can get banned.

I tend to agree. I think I joined ES first, and THN soon after. I was new to the whole message board thing and looking for a home; I lurked there for about a year before getting involved, and when I was actively churning out blog posts, etc, I was probably posting more there than here. That said, so much has changed there in the last few years I don't even recognize the place. It feels different somehow. I can't remember the last time I even clicked the site bookmark to look in.
This one feels familiar. And that's a good thing.

Do we hear a unanimous cringe? Yeah, most of us have a spray-in hair highlighter or perm horror story to tell and boy, are they scary (and ugly!). We've all been there – stuck with a case of bad hair blues. Think about how long it took you to grow out those self-cut bangs, or that bad perm… painful to think about it, isn't?
The thing is too often you end up with a hairstyle that is either too costly, high maintenance or damaging to your natural hair. There's no reason why you should put your hair under so much stress, especially if your hair is thinning and falling out.
With summer only a few weeks away you must be itching for a new look. And we all know you'd do just about anything in the name of good hair. But would you give wigs and hair extensions a chance?
Hair Extensions & Wigs
The times are changing and alternative hair is becoming the norm. Just take a look around you! It's super easy to change up your hairstyle with a wig or hair extensions - and the choices are endless. You can go from long to short hair without ever picking up a pair of scissors. If you're looking to be a sassy redhead for the night, or have wildly curly or sexy tousled hair, you really don't need to resort to those harsh chemicals that will harm your own hair.
Protect your hair by wearing wigs and clip-in hair extensions. There's no shame in wearing them, they'll only make your life easier.
Check out our recommendations below!
Short Hair
If you want to "cut" your hair we recommend:
Shop all short wigs
Shop all bangs
Long Hair
Want to grow your hair overnight? We recommend:
Shop all long wigs
Shop all long hair extensions
Wavy Hair
Keep the harsh chemicals and hot tools as far away from your hair as possible. We recommend:
Shop all wavy wigs
Shop all wavy hair extensions
Summer Color Hair
Stay away from harsh dyes and spray-in hair lighteners, these colors are to-dye for! We recommend:
Shop all ombre color wigs
Shop all color hair extensions

Citigroup names Europe securities services chief
Citigroup has appointed its former head of markets in Australia as head of securities services in Europe, making him the second senior executive at the bank to move from the country to Europe in a matter of weeks.
Chris Cox, most recently head of global markets in Australia, will now run securities services for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, leading both the investor services and the direct custody and clearing businesses.
He will be based in London and report to Okan Pekin, global head of investor services at Citi, Lee Waite, global head of direct custody and clearing, and Leo Arduini, head of markets in Emea.
Cox follows in the footsteps of colleague David Haldane, who had run Citi's equities business in Australia and New Zealand, and who earlier this month was named head of equity derivatives in Europe.
Cox's appointment follows the decision of Nick Roe, who previously headed securities services, to leave the bank. Financial News reported in July that Roe, who had been a key figure in the development of the bank's prime brokerage business, was leaving to pursue other opportunities.
Cox takes up the role at a time when Citi is integrating its securities services group more closely with its investment bank in a bid to cross-sell products and bring down costs.
Pekin said: "We have used the first few months of the year to integrate the business lines and integrate the management team. We believe that investors would prefer fewer touch points and deeper engagement with the banks that they deal with and this integration provides that."
The integrated business recorded a huge win in May when it was chosen to provide custody and securities lending services to Norges Bank Investment Management, one of the world's largest investors with a global portfolio worth some $850 billion.
Other recent wins include a mandate from East Capital to provide fund services for its recently-launched China A-shares fund and a mandate to support the launch of Nedgroup's new Irish-domiciled Ucits fund.
Pekin said: "For investor services, I see our business momentum strengthening into the second half of the year. The first half was positive already."
Cox joined Citi in 1991, initially working in London. He moved to Asia in 1997 to lead medium-term note trading for the region, returning to London in 2000, where he rose to become head of international rate structuring and MTNs. In 2008, Cox moved again to run the bank's fixed income, currencies and commodities business in Australia, and assumed the role of head of global markets in Australia in 2012.
Citi earlier this year combined its prime finance, futures and over-the-counter clearing, global custody, global fund services and agency securities lending businesses into a single investor services group as part of a broader reorganisation of the bank's capital markets and securities services group.

Pope Francis waves to the crowd as he leaves at the end of the Holy Mass and Canonization Ceremony at St. Peter's Square. Sunday.
Editor's note: This story includes a correction.
ROME -- Pope Francis canonized more than 800 Catholics in Saint Peter's Square Sunday – the largest number to be elevated to sainthood at once in the history of the Catholic Church.
The choice of some of the new saints was also striking, touching on the already-fragile relationship between Christianity and Islam.
The new saints included hundreds of laymen from the southern Italian port town of Otranto who were slain in the 15th century by the invading Ottoman Turkish army after they refused to convert to Islam.
In 1480, after conquering Constantinople – modern day Istanbul - the Ottoman Sultan Mohammed II planned to invade Rome, and Otranto became his army's port of entrance into Italy.
The local population fought back in a week-long siege, putting up a brave but hopeless resistance. When Ottoman soldiers finally overrun the town, they were ordered to kill every man over the age of 15 who refused to convert to Islam.
More than 800 resisted, locking themselves up into the town's Cathedral. Their ringleader, local shoemaker Antonio Primaldo, was first to be beheaded. According to local legend, his headless body remained standing until the last of his fellow townspeople was killed.
Since then, Primaldo and his townsfolk, who chose to die rather than betray their Catholic faith, have been hailed as martyrs. Their bones and skulls – proudly on display behind glass walls in the Cathedral of Otranto – are well-known Catholic relics and a popular pilgrimage destination.
But the choice to highlight their sacrifice may put a strain on the already fragile relationship between the Catholic Church and Islam.
Ever since his election, Pope Francis has called for greater dialogue between Christianity and other religions, in particular Islam. And so far, he has acted on that promise. He washed the feet of a young Muslim woman jailed in a juvenile prison on Holy Thursday, and reached out to the many "Muslim brothers and sisters" during his first Good Friday procession.
So why risk creating yet another inter-faith row with a celebration which some in the Muslim world may be seen as a provocation?
The answer is that it wasn't Pope Francis' choice in the first place. The decision to canonize the hundreds of Otranto martyrs was rubber-stamped by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, on Feb. 11 - the same day he announced his resignation.
Cardinals from around the world gathered in the Vatican to elect the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
It was a departing act of a pontiff that had become concerned about the mounting discrimination suffered by Christian minorities living in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab spring.
Pope Francis shares his predecessor's concern. "By venerating the martyrs of Otranto" he said at Sunday's canonization mass, "We ask God to protect the many Christians who in these times, and in many parts of the world, are still victims of violence".
The Vatican's relationship with Islam took a nosedive in 2006 when Benedict – now the Pope Emeritus - enraged Muslims by quoting the 14th-century byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiogolos, who said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
It was an uncomfortable parting gift for his successor, who now faces an uphill struggle to rekindle ties with Islam.

I am trying to send form from 1.html to 1.php and 2.php depending on submit button which was hit.
The idea is: I fill form then hit button no. 1 to generate report no.1, after that I go back to form.html and hit button no.2 to generate report no.2. I need this to be done this way so data are still in form.html
This soluton is working but the form is not containing data after going back and thats why its useless in my case:
Code: Select all
<form id="form" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="1" onclick="document.getElementById('form').action='test1.php';" >
<input type="submit" value="2" onclick="document.getElementById('form').action='test2.php';" >
Thanks for help as I am stuck with this for last 4 days.
