'Parental Guidance' teen star is acting veteran
Bailee Madison adds Bette Midler, Billy Crystal to her co-stars list
On the day of our interview, 13-year-old Bailee Madison was still reeling from her guest spot on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" the night before. It's not every day you talk to a teen girl who has just schmoozed Leno. "Jay's a cool guy," says Bailee, with an air of nonchalance.
Madison is as down to earth as a kid in her shoes can be. She's touring the country promoting her new movie "Parental Guidance," which stars Bette Midler, Billy Crystal and Marisa Tomei (it opens on Christmas Day). Her first leading role was in 2011 when she played opposite Katie Holmes in the horror film "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." She's probably best known for her recurring role as Maxine on the television show "Wizards of Waverly Place," and garnered a large following from her performance in Disney's "Bridge to Terabithia."
Here's the At The Movies interview with Bailee Madison.
ATM: How was it working with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler?
BM: Working with Bette, especially, it was like a little mini Broadway show every day. She is a hoot. And Bette is a lot like me: she loves cooking, she loves Broadway and she loves music. We'd spend time talking together about the things we liked. Both Bette and Billy are very kind people.
ATM: Do you think you learned anything from them? They are both show biz veterans. Did they give you any parental guidance?
BM: I think what they showed me was how important it is when you're on a working movie set to treat others with respect. I really enjoyed watching them work.
ATM: What's your character like in "Parental Guidance."
BM: Her name is Harper. She's 12. She has a lot going on. She's an uptight violinist and a child prodigy. At the same time, she has her first crush on a boy at school. She's a bit awkward and dorky, but I think that's something that everyone can relate to. When Bette comes in as her cool and laid back grandmother, she's kind of torn between pleasing her mother, but she really likes how loose and fun her grandmother is. Harper is a great character and she has lots of different emotions in the movie and that was fun to play.
ATM: How did you break into acting and movies?
BM: I did my first commercial when I was two weeks old for "Office Depot." Then, when I was 5, I went to New Zealand for six and a half months to shoot "Bridge." The next year I was in Los Angeles for the premiere of that movie, and it kind of started there.
ATM: Where do you consider home?
BM: I'm from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and my mom likes us to go back to Florida because she says it keeps me grounded and she wants me to always remember where I came from.
ATM: Do you have any other passions besides acting?
BM: I love being the national spokesperson for Alex's Lemonade Stand. It's an incredible story. Alex Scott had childhood cancer and she realized that, even though she was only 4 years old, that she could make a difference and maybe help kids with cancer so they wouldn't have to suffer like she was suffering. I share the story of Alex whenever I can. She is someone who really showed that you're never too young to make a difference.
ATM: Do you have plans for the future to stay in acting?
BM: My goal one day is to write and direct. I want to do it all.
ATM: You have worked with so many famous names: Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hilary Swank, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Anniston, Katie Holmes and now Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei and Billy Crystal. Is there anyone you would love to be in a movie with?
BM: I would love to be in a movie with Sandra Bullock. She always chooses wonderful roles.
ATM: I became one of your followers today on Twitter. Now I'm number 159,207. How do you like being able to interact with your fans on social media?
BM: It is very cool, but at the same time it's scary. They are watching you and you have to please them. The fan base I have is not just girls, and it's not just kids, it's adults, too. But I will say that I do like being involved in the whole process this way. I'm so thankful for my followers; I don't like to refer to them as fans. Without them you can't do anything.

I'm taking a class on the Gospel of Luke this semester, and
one of my assignments is to engage in an ongoing spiritual practice
related to that particular Gospel. So for the entire semester I am
reading the Magnificat daily. It's a passage that I've been drawn to in
recent years, but it has been particularly illuminating to be dwelling
on it during Lent this year, since it is typically confined to the Advent
season. Somehow the triumphal language of the justice that God has
already accomplished fits with the modern treatment of Advent as a
celebratory season. But Lent is a season of penance, which puts an
entirely different spin on the text.

The family of an Eastern New Mexico University student fatally shot by a 13-year-old neighbor say they plan to try to change the laws for youthful offenders in memory of Angel Vale.
Convicted of her murder, D'Angelo Montoya was sentenced June 6 to the custody of the state Children Youth and Families Division until he reaches the age of 21. It is the maximum sentence allowed by law because of his age.
Prosecutors said he shot 21-year-old Angel Vale three times with a gun he had stolen from her home after she stumbled upon him in her yard July 22, 2010.
Under state law, a child 14 or younger cannot be charged as an adult, even in the case of violent crimes. They are not classified as crimes, but instead as an act by a delinquent child.
By law, Montoya could be sent to a group home or treatment foster care to serve his sentence. He will more than likely end up in a long-term facility, said Enrique Knell, CYFD spokesman.
"Because of what he was convicted of, he's going to be in a long-term facility at (the Youth Development and Diagnostic Center in Albuquerque) to fulfill his sentence," Knell said. "I don't believe that we would send somebody who's convicted of such a serious crime into a group home or foster care."
Either way, Vale's older sister, Monique Sambrano, said she and her family plan to write letters to state leaders in an attempt to garner support to change the law in her sister's name.
"I just feel like kids maybe 20 years ago would be different, but they're not the same anymore. Kids are not kids anymore," she said. "People will remember. Because of Angel, that law will be changed."
Her frustration is that Montoya will be back in society just eight years from now.
"I won't stop until we can do something about that," Sambrano said. "It's not going to help my sister's case, but if we can get that law changed maybe it can help somebody else.
"It bothers me that he was not being tried as an adult because I could have understood if it had been an accident — any normal child would be afraid. (But) he acts like nothing happened. I don't really feel like it's harsh. What he got wasn't enough justice for what he took because he did it for no reason."
District Attorney Matt Chandler acknowledge the feelings of Vale's family.
"There's no such thing as justice for a victim's family in a murder case," Chandler said. "A guilty verdict in a murder case doesn't bring the victim back and a life sentencing doesn't give the family complete closure."
Chandler said if the courts had more discretion on juvenile crimes it could better aid the state in rehabilitating youthful offenders.
"I can attest that juveniles seem to be intentionally committing violent crimes at a younger ages than they were 20 years ago," he said.
"If the range was lowered to include 13-year-old offenders, it would give the court an opportunity to review the offender's history and make an informed decision if incarceration past the age of 21 is needed to allow additional time to rehabilitate so that the community is protected from future acts of intentional violence."
Sambrano said her sister was a kind person and had talked about feeling sorry for Montoya.
Sambrano, who said she and Vale talked multiple times daily, talked to her sister a few hours before she died. Vale, she said, was moving out because she was concerned about a recent break-in at her home.
"She was already kind of paranoid. She was just trying to hurry up and move out," she said. "I think about her being scared going through that."

QUOTE (frenzarin @ Aug 25 2010, 12:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'd like to point out that a population of approx 700,000 and no pro rugby and no league football existing in N. Wales, makes the expansion a worthwhile gamble. At the saints game I took two people, who'd never seen a live game of RL, even after losing, one has commited to being a season ticket holder for next season,the other deffo coming to the KR game. Little by little this expansionism is working, with 4000 more RL fans in N.Wales than before,and numerous schools etc starting to play the game.IMO all this makes sticking with N.Wales a positive option. As for the scorpions, many of us in wrexham hope this succeeds, and many young welsh players get their break with crus in SL. So much so that I've even contributed to sponsoring a scorpions game in S. Wales. So hopefully most negativity to this topic can be put to bed,and all get behind the RFL and make Wrexham and the Crusaders the success that RL needs.
I don't think there is much negativity on this topic. I certainly didn't aim to come across that way, I would always suggest caution with getting carried away but pretty much the whole game thinks they deserve their chance and they do. There hasn't been a single person on this thread who hasn't said that.
Handled well this could be great for RL but some of that success would have to go down to the work done and the lessons learned in Bridgend.

Looking for homes for sale in Weatherford TX? Read on for a look at the market in Texas.
Texas real estate has always been a good investment. The economy is strong here and getting stronger all the time. Home values in major metropolitan areas have been soaring for years with no end in sight. Record-breaking oil drilling activity is also fueling a new real estate boom in West Texas.
As reported in the the Wall Street Jorunal:
As companies continues performing due diligence on several real estate acquisitions out in West Texas, where that region's growth shows zero sign of slowing down anytime soon or even in the near future. Many industry experts have made the prediction that the Permian Basin will produce as many as 3.5 million barrels of oil per day within the coming decade.
Due to many thousands of new wells being drilled in the Permian Basin and elsewhere around the state, Texas is poised to shatter its all-time oil production record in 2014. Just last month, the Dallas Business Journal reported oil production has topped 120.7 million barrels in in the first two months of the year, which is up almost ten million barrels from that same period in the previous year. As a result Texas produced 34 percent of the crude oil in the entire U.S. last year. There are many experts that say the Permian is only getting warmed up, that this is just the beginning of things to come.
This huge surge in production has led to a massive influx of workers and residents to West Texas that require everything from temporary housing, permanent residences, new businesses, entertainment options, food-and-watering-hole type establishments, recreation amenities and more. The staggering growth is sending home and rental prices surging in most areas.
For any company working to break into the U.S. real estate industry, it's a very unique opportunity. Many companies plan to grow their national brands by building up a portfolio of assets in Texas by acquiring a range of properties with high potential and applying multiple marketing strategies across the board.

If you're a part of the Green Bay Packers special teams units these days, you are having all kinds of fun.
From Tom Crabtree's fake-field goal touchdown on fourth-and-26 against Chicago, to John Kuhn's fourth-down conversion deep in Packers territory on a fake punt against New Orleans, to last Sunday's surprise onside kick recovery against St. Louis, coach Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum have pulled out all the risk-taking stops so far this season.
"Sometimes it's tough to get guys to really work on special teams, but because we're doing different things, guys are excited," kicker Mason Crosby said as the special teamers prepped for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "They know that opportunity to make big plays, and obviously the fact that we're executing them gives coach a lot more confidence to call them in the games."
But while the trickery has certainly grabbed the attention, something more important is at work here: The Packers' special teams, which were once a major trouble spot under McCarthy, have grown into an area of strength.
While things haven't been perfect – Crabtree's protection miscue led to a blocked punt for a touchdown by the Houston Texans two weeks ago, and Crosby has missed three 50-yard field goals in three weeks, including a potential game-tying kick at Indianapolis – the Packers now boast quality specialists (Crosby, punter Tim Masthay, returner Randall Cobb), more-than-solid coverage and blocking units and the flair for the dramatic.
"Your heart beat beats a little bit faster, a little risk is involved. I guess we're gambling a little bit," special teams captain Jarrett Bush said of the trick plays. "We play to win. There are no second chances in a football game, you have to get as many opportunities as you can. We were trying to play to win the game, so we don't look back and see what we should've done or could've done."
The most important thing the Packers have done, of course, is stock the special teams units with guys who truly take pride in their jobs there – which hasn't always been the case under McCarthy.
"I think it's always a challenge, because you look at the nature of it – you're getting guys who were the top players at their positions in college, and most of them did not play a lot of special teams in college. So in most cases it's entirely new for them; in a lot of cases they feel like it's an added chore," said Slocum, who was on McCarthy's inaugural staff in 2006 as assistant special teams coach under Mike Stock before his promotion to coordinator in 2009. "But Mike started with the environment he's created: 'We're going to play good special teams.'"
Added McCarthy: "There's an attitude over there. Frankly, before it was pulling teeth with some individuals in the past to perform at a high level on special teams. It's a whole different dynamic. We're really putting the stress and importance on the fundamentals. The volume of the scheme is minimal compared to prior years. It's just guys have really bought into the fundamentals and the speed and playing really physical. I think we're much improved there than in my earlier years."
Indeed, during McCarthy's first five seasons – including in 2010, when they won Super Bowl XLV – the team was frequently at the bottom of legendary NFL columnist Rick Gosselin's annual special teams rankings. Gosselin, now a general columnist for the Dallas Morning News, annually ranks the league's 32 teams in 22 special-teams categories and assigns points according to their standing – one for best, 32 for worst.
In 2005, in coach Mike Sherman's final season, the Packers finished dead last. They did so again in 2006, in McCarthy's first season. In 2007, they finished tied for seventh, their best ranking under McCarthy. They plummeted to 26th in 2008 and 31st in 2009, then ranked 29th in 2010, which tied them with the 2009 New Orleans Saints for the lowest ranking ever for a Super Bowl champion.
But last year, the Packers finished tied for a respectable 13th, and while their point total (342.5) was well behind top-rated San Francisco (225.5), it still signified significant improvement. They have the look of a top-10 unit as they enter Sunday's game against the Jaguars, whose special teams are coached by John Bonamego, the Packers' special-teams coordinator from 2003 through 2005 under Sherman.
"I think there's guys buying in – buying into the scheme, buying into what the coaches are saying – and then doing what we're trained to do," said Bush, who has been on the special teams units since the Packers claimed him on waivers from Carolina to star the 2006 season. "I think a lot of young guys see it as their opportunity to get on the field, and their chance to shine. Obviously everybody wants to be a starter, but they can't all be. So until they get their opportunity to play on defense or offense, special teams is where they've got to make their name.
"You try to get them to see their opportunity, not see it (as an inconvenience). Some guys don't see it, some guys embrace it. It's a problem in the locker room (when special-teams players don't buy in), but as a front office, it's their job to see that and find guys who will. They found the right guys for this team to fit, to jell and have great chemistry."
As a result, they're having success and fun, too.
"I think there's a certain satisfaction and their efforts in practice and preparation during the week is showing up on the field on Sunday," Slocum said. "I see a real accountability from player to player, and I think that's important."

According to a recent study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly 1.8 million college graduates will enter the job market in 2013. To help recent grads land their first job, Cartridge World, the leading ink and toner retailer, is offering free résumé printing services.
To receive free printing of 15-25 copies of a résumé, Cartridge World stores invite new college graduates to stop by in June with their résumé on a USB flash drive (two-page maximum length, one-color printing).
"A successful job hunt starts with a great résumé, and Cartridge World is here to help local grads get the job done right," said Tom McLaughlin, marketing director, in a press release. "We have 600 locally-owned Cartridge World stores across North America who understand the value of local networking and community support. 'Keeping it local' is great place to start a job search – especially with the local chamber of commerce and business organizations."
Cartridge World offers these résumé writing tips:
• Format matters. Limit your résumé to one page. Put references on a separate page. Use a 1-inch margin on all four sides. Bullet-point skills and achievements for easy identification.
• Online vs. print résumés. In today's digital world, most employers will receive résumés via email or on a job board. However, a hard copy sent by mail can grab an employer's attention. Always bring a hard copy to a job interview.
• Choose a universal font. A traditional serif type font, such as Times New Roman, is the easiest for employers to read. Avoid Arial, which can look too plain and lose the reader's attention.
• Cover letters are key. According to a survey by Creighton University, more than 85 percent of U.S. employers said cover letters were "very important" to include – even if the employer only spends one minute looking at it. Use a cover letter to supplement facts and skills, and express your personality and passion.
Area Cartridge World locations are at 3106 Three Oaks Road in Cary, 17E Crystal Lake Plaza in Crystal Lake, and 1809 S. Route 31, McHenry.

MLB roundup: Wilson returns to Dodgers for 1-year deal
Hughes, Twins formally announce deal
Reliever Brian Wilson and the Los Angeles Dodgers reached an agreement on a one-year, $10 million contract with a player option for 2015 worth $8.5 million, according to multiple media reports.
Wilson did not pitch until late August after recovering from Tommy John elbow ligament reconstruction surgery in April 2012. In the regular season and playoffs with Los Angeles, Wilson allowed just one run in 19 2/3 innings.
The Dodgers plan to use Wilson, a three-time All-Star with the San Francisco Giants, as the primary setup man to closer Kenley Jansen.
--Phil Hughes hopes a change of scenery will help him get his career back on track.
The Minnesota Twins formally announced the signing of the right-handed pitcher to a three-year, $24 million contract on Thursday.
Hughes was surprised to receive a three-year contract.
"I want to out-perform this deal," Hughes said. "The Twins really stepped up for me, and I want to repay them for that. I think it's a good situation all around."
After going 16-13 with a 4.23 ERA in 2012 with the Yankees, Hughes went 4-14 with a 5.19 ERA in 2013, surrendering 170 hits in 145 2/3 innings. He is 56-50 with a 4.54 ERA in his career.
--The Seattle Mariners are bringing back veteran utility man Willie Bloomquist, who signed a two-year contract with the team.
Bloomquist, 36, spent the past three seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Last season, he appeared in 48 games and had 139 at-bats.
--The Milwaukee Brewers acquired left-handed pitcher Will Smith from the Kansas City Royals on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Norichika Aoki.
Smith, 24, went 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA in 19 games last season. He held opponents to a .202 batting average and struck out 43 batters in 33 1/3 innings.
Aoki, 31, batted .286 with eight home runs, 37 RBI and 20 steals in 2013. He will be the first Japanese-born position player in Royals history.
--Tampa Bay Rays left-handed starter David Price, long expected to be on the trade market this offseason, is drawing considerable interest with at least seven teams known to be showing strong interest.
According to Yahoo Sports, the Mariners, Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Toronto Blue Jays are in pursuit of Price, who won the 2012 American League Cy Young and is under contract through the 2015 season.
The budget-conscious Rays were successful unloading starters under team control in previous deals that sent Matt Garza to the Chicago Cubs and James Shields to the Kansas City Royals for top prospects.

Harsh words from the judge and a heartfelt plea for mercy from the defendant and his family.
There was emotional testimony Wednesday morning in the courtroom as Toby Stangel was sentenced for his role in the deadly rampage on the streets of Honolulu two years ago.
"There are no words I can put together to explain how truly sorry I am for my reckless actions and I'm reminded of it daily," said Toby Stangel who says everything he did that fateful night of June 3, 2011 was spurred by drugs and paranoia.
"That night my mind was telling me my life was in jeopardy. I was terrified and in fear of losing my life," said Stangel.
Stangel didn't lose his life, but he took one, and nearly claimed others. He opened fire on and around the H-1 Freeway, and killed Tammy Nguyen, a mother of 10.
Stangel also wounded two others. Nguyen's family declined to speak in court, but several sons and daughters, plus her widowed husband sobbed quietly in the gallery.
Stangel's mother said she is suffering, too, and pleaded for mercy for her son and asked for a chance at parole.
"I still love him with all my heart and I have great hope for him that God isn't done with him yet," said Karen Stangel.
Judge Glenn Kim showed no mercy, calling it an utterly senseless death and cited Stangel's years of drug abuse, all while illegally carrying a gun around.
"What you've essentially got is a lethal time bomb just waiting to go off," said Judge Kim.
Kim said he was at a loss for words at the senselessness and depravity of Stangel's actions.
"He took the public streets and highways of this beautiful city of ours and he turned them into a literal killing zone," said Kim.
Judge Kim handed down three consecutive life terms, which carry a minimum of 20 years each, which is essentially life in prison for the 30-year-old Stangel, who will be 90 at the youngest before he could ever get out.
The Nguyen family said they were happy with the verdict and will help them to move forward.
"I think he expressed their feelings perfectly and he gave a good sentence," said deputy Prosecutor Dwight Nadamoto.
The paroling authority will decide exactly how long Stangel will have to serve for his conviction.

UPDATE: An official for Intel has denied that the company plans to remove screen size limitations from Atom-based notebooks.
Intel Corp. reportedly planned to lift certain limitations it imposed on Atom-based netbooks for machines that are based on the dual-core versions of Atom central processing units (CPUs). This would allow netbooks to further close the gaps with fully-fledged notebooks, something that will inspire further price-war on the market of mobile computers. However, this will not happen, Intel claims.
When Microsoft Corp. released Windows 7, it and Intel imposed restrictions onto computer makers, which did not allow netbooks to feature large screens and storage. However, netbooks adopting dual-core Atom N550 may feature 11.6" or 12.1" screens, 1GB of DDR3 memory, 32GB SSD or 250GB drive, reports DigiTimes web-site. Intel denied that it plans to lift the limitations.
"There is no truth to this," said Suzy Ramirez, a spokeswoman for Intel.
Earlier Intel proposed an option to install discrete graphics processors into netbooks, which substantially closed the gap between them and sub-notebooks. The increase of the screen size would further reduce the number of differences. Considering that netbooks have been increasing in price for some time now, whereas notebooks have become considerably more affordable; dual-core Intel Atom netbooks with 12.1" displays would compete directly with more capable Intel Celeron/Pentium-based notebooks in terms of costs, which will likely inspire the price war between different makers of mobile computers.
"We'll continue to include new features, performance and higher levels of integration in the future and we are committed to innovation in this category," an undisclosed Intel spokesperson is reported to have said.

Funding and Disbursements
Students with Disabilities Reimbursement
The State of Illinois provides four state categorical pupil reimbursement fund sources for districts serving students with disabilities who require special education and related services. Such students may be eligible under:
- Private Tuition 105 ILCS 5/14-7.02
- Funding for Children Requiring Special Education Services 105 ILCS 5/14-7.02b
- Orphanage 105 ILCS 5/14-7.03
- Summer School 105 ILCS 5/18-4.3
State funding is appropriated by the General Assembly each fiscal year. Additionally, when necessary to provide an appropriate educational program, Federal Room and Board reimbursement per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) may be available for school district placements. Depending on the eligibility of the student, reimbursement may be received in the current or the following fiscal year.
To access State funding or Federal Room and Board reimbursement, each student must be approved via the Special Education Funding and Child Tracking System (11/15) or FACTS. Districts requesting approval for orphanage students reported under Section 14-7.03 must clear eligibility checks to qualify for reimbursement. For students not clearing eligibility checks, districts will receive an electronic report and Section 14-7.03 Student Eligibility Verification (10/14) instructions to obtain clarification of information reported and/or additional information.
State Categorical Reimbursement
Students eligible for Excess Cost reimbursement per Section 14-7.02b or Orphanage reimbursement per Section 14-7.03 must calculate special education costs in accordance with 23 Ill Admin Code Part 130-Determining Special Education Per Capita Tuition Charge. Costs may be calculated by using the following ISBE forms:
- ISBE Form 50-66A, Special Education Tuition Cost Sheet
- ISBE Forms 50-66BL and 50-66BP, Special Education Documentation Sheet [you will need to download both the L – landscape and P – portrait versions],
- ISBE Form 50-66C, Special Education Tuition Bill and Claim Computation and;
- ISBE Form 50-66D (10/12), Special Education Depreciation Schedule.
Instructions for completing student reimbursement claims electronically as well as the related Special Education Tuition Cost Sheet forms can be found in the Reimbursement Procedures for Students with Disabilities (5/16). Resident districts of approved students may claim tuition or room and board costs for private facility placements in accordance with per diem rates set annually by the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board.
Special Education Summer School claims are required to be filed electronically via IWAS. Eligibility requirements for pupils claimed for summer school are:
- the pupil must be enrolled in one or more courses offered for at least 60 clock hours in the summer session;
- the pupil must be eligible pursuant to the requirements for continued summer school services per his or her Individualized Education Program (IEP) and;
- there shall not be a tuition charge to families to insure a "free, appropriate public education."
Federal Room and Board
In order to claim Federal Room and Board reimbursement, the resident district must have an approved ISBE Form 34-37 (10/12), Application for Approval of Private Residential Placement Room and Board Reimbursement. This will allow a district to transmit a Special Education Room and Board Claim in IWAS. Claims are transmitted through IWAS by the resident district and are paid monthly at a pro-rated amount. If sufficient federal funds are available, all claims are paid at 100% at the end of the year.

Department of Public Affairs
3400 Spruce St.
Philadelphia, PA 19104-6021
(for this release
(215) 349-5658
PA) - The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes
predicts the length of remission after chemotherapy
and the overall survival of patients with ovarian cancer,
according to researchers from the Abramson Cancer Center
and the Center on Women's Health at the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Their findings,
which are presented in the January 16th issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine, constitute the
first proof that a spontaneous immune response against
the tumor dramatically impacts the clinical course of
ovarian cancer. These novel findings generate hope that
immune therapies may significantly prolong the response
to chemotherapy and improve the survival of patients
with advanced ovarian carcinoma.
Each year, epithelial ovarian cancer - the most frequent
cause of death from gynecological cancer - accounts
for approximately 14,000 deaths in the United States.
Frequently, the disease is not caught until it is already
at an advanced stage and, despite the use of surgery
and chemotherapy, the overall survival rate after five
years remains at 25%.
"The patient's immune response to ovarian cancer
is one of the strongest predictors of outcome after
completion of chemotherapy. Our findings show that the
five-year survival rate of patients whose tumors were
infiltrated by lymphocytes was 38%, as compared to 4.5%
for patients whose tumors lacked these lymphocytes"
said George Coukos, MD, PhD, assistant professor
in Penn's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and
director of Gynecologic Malignancy Research Programs.
"In fact, only patients with these tumor-infiltrating
lymphocytes survived beyond 5 years. Moreover, a subset
of patients who had optical surgical resection of their
tumor, had complete response to chemotherapy and showed
evidence of antitumor immune response, experienced up
to 70% survival at ten years, a remarkable rate of survival
for advanced ovarian cancer."
Although these findings are extraordinarily optimistic,
Coukos and his colleagues caution that larger scale
studies are necessary to validate these observations.
"It is clearly a step forward in understanding
how to treat this disease. Meanwhile, our findings tell
us that we need to identify proper ways to boost patients'
immune response against tumors," said Coukos. "While
activated lymphocytes greatly increases a patient's
chances, it is clear that the immune system needs help.
This is added incentive to explore the use of vaccines
against tumors and other means to induce or enhance
an immune response."
Tumor vaccines use the patient's own tumor tissue to
create a customized vaccine against the growing cancer.
Current research into tumor vaccines has met with promising
clinical and scientific results.
In addition, now that we know that there are two types
of patients with respect to antitumor immune response,
a lot of work remains to be done to identify the most
appropriate chemotherapy for each type. Ironically,
some of the most effective chemotherapeutics suppress
the immune system.
"The challenges of the future include understanding
why specific patients mount an antitumor immune response,
while others don't, and how we can induce potent antitumor
immune response in all patients," said Coukos.
"We also need to design more rational treatments
combining surgery, appropriate chemotherapy and efficient
immune therapy in ways that are tailor-made for an individual

Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Foundations,
the Gynecological Cancer Foundation, the National Cancer
Institute and the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute.

Young vets struggling to find jobs despite rebounding economy
As many Americans continue to struggle to find unemployment, veterans are worse off.
The situation for young vets is even more challenging.
Younger vets who served following the Sept. 11 attacks face unique challenges in today's job market, but young or not, most veterans have one common hurdle to overcome -- writing the resume.
"It's still pretty competitive out there," said Rick Larson, a veteran employment representative at the Wisconsin Job Center of La Crosse County.
Larson said young veterans just can't seem to catch a break.
"A lot of them are in the construction industry because they're young and healthy, and want that physical type labor, and that's been hit hardest by our recession," said Larson.
Right now, the national unemployment rate is hovering around 8 percent.
The latest numbers show for vets ages 18-24 it was more than 20 percent last year.
Larson said from what he's seeing here in our area, things are getting better.
"I think a lot of them are going back to school when they come back, and there's been a push by employers to hire veterans," said Larson.
Larson sees nearly 650 new vets come into the job center every year for help, and one thing is always a common factor.
"They're poor at writing resumes," said Larson. "They're poor at describing what they did in the military and describing in civilian terms so local employers can understand it. If local employers can't understand it then it's going to go into the circular file. That's all there is to it."
But it's not just young vets struggling to find jobs.
Leonard Sbies of La Crosse has had six jobs since being discharged in 1986.
"Basically when you're mortars or artillery, there's nothing in civilian life there that qualifies you," said Sbies.
Sbies is now looking for his seventh job.
While each time gets harder, he said veterans of any age shouldn't give up hope.
"Keep hunting," said Sbies. "I know there's a job out there somewhere out there for me. I've just got to keep on trucking."
Larson said while military job titles may not translate directly to a civilian job, they may provide transferable skills including leadership skills.
He also said another factor for vets struggling to find jobs could be businesses not knowing how to market job openings to vets.
If you are an unemployed vet looking for help, you can contact veteran services at the Wisconsin job center of La Crosse County.

Monasterboice, 6km north of Drogheda, has an idyllic rural setting and the remains of its monastic settlement – founded in either the eighth or ninth century – include not only one of Ireland's finest high-crosses, dating from the tenth century, but one of the best-preserved round towers in the country too. The stocky St Muiredach's Cross, just inside the churchyard, is the better preserved of the pair. Its elaborate series of carved panels depict a variety of biblical events, loosely arranged in supposed chronological order. The base of its east face begins in the Garden of Eden, before moving upwards to the stories of Cain and Abel, David and Goliath, Moses bringing water to the Israelites and the Magi bearing gifts for the newborn Christ. Above these, the cross's carved wheel depicts the Last Judgment and the risen multitudes pleading for entry into Heaven. The west face depicts events during the later life of Christ, ranging from his arrest at Gethsemane to the Ascension, though the hub of the cross's wheel shows Moses with the Ten Commandments. Unusually, both flanks of the cross are also decorated and feature the Flight of the Israelites and saints Anthony and Paul.
The taller West Cross, unfortunately chipped at its top, features another array of biblical scenes, though erosion makes most of them indecipherable without the assistance of the adjacent display board. Certainly, its east face features David and the lion, and the west includes the Resurrection, but much of the remainder is difficult to discern. Adjacent to this cross is what's reckoned to be the tallest round tower in Ireland, standing at some thirty metres, though it has long since lost its conical cap and cannot be entered for safety reasons. The two ruined churches within the enclosure, which date from the thirteenth century, probably had little connection with the, by then, defunct monastery.

Hot Topics
As a practical matter, there are two points in the
academic traveler's travel planning process where U.S. export control
laws may apply to an international trip: when evaluating what may be taken
along as personal baggage and when determining what may need to be sent or
shipped separately to the foreign destination. For instance, if the traveler
intends to perform some field research with a colleague in another country or
to provide a technological demonstration at a conference, he or she may need
to send to the site separately certain equipment (e.g., computers, sensors,
measuring instruments, reagents, etc.), data or software.
Overall, these U.S. export control regulations are probably
more tedious to understand and follow with respect to academic travel than
they are actually burdensome in practice, once properly analyzed. However, as
illustrated in the Roth case
outlined at the beginning of this Note, the Department of Justice has
effectively served notice to all U.S. academic institutions that it will deal
firmly with U.S. export control violations that occur in relation to such
academic travel and in interactions with non-U.S. persons.

text: West Mifflin, PA (August 16, 2013) – On Monday, August 19, officials at Allegheny County Airport (AGC) in West Mifflin will celebrate National Aviation Day by helping Boy Scout troops from across the region earn their aviation merit badges. STAT MedEvac, Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, Corporate Air, Pittsburgh Flight Training and other groups will conduct activities with the scouts at the airport including interviewing pilots and mechanics, observing inspections and maintenance of aircraft and runway/ramp/security operations, as well as building model airplanes, all of which help fulfill requirements for the aviation merit badge. "We're so excited to have the scouts join us at the airport, to learn about our operations and to earn their merit badges," said Bradley D. Penrod, Allegheny County Airport Authority President. "We expect to have about 50 scouts here on Monday." The day begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration for troops. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., scouts will break into groups and participate in various activities, as well as having lunch at the airport. AGC is the seventh busiest airport in Pennsylvania. The number of operations (75,000 takeoffs and landings per year) outpaces several airports that handle commercial or scheduled flights in Pennsylvania.

Spring starts in early January at my house when my husband starts planning his Fedco seed order, reading aloud the enticing descriptions of leeks and lettuces from the catalog. By the time spring officially arrives, the seed trays on the back porch are full of tender shoots that will soon be transplanted to the 30-by-30-foot garden he has nurtured for the past 15 years.
The prospects for that patch of earth were not favorable when we moved here in 1998. The ground was so hard a shovel bounced off it. In fact, our first soil test revealed a nearly total absence of organic material; we didn't have dirt so much as compacted dust, highly acidic and inhospitable to earthworms and other beneficial organisms.
We couldn't afford to truck in topsoil and anyway, imported soil would eventually become depleted and need rehabilitation, too. The most practical choice was to rehabilitate the soil we had by building it up with the necessary minerals and organic matter and using it in such a way as to replenish its fertility through organic techniques.
We chose a soil testing company that would make organic recommendations, and learned that what we needed most were calcium and potassium, both readily available from Fertrell. Calcium, in the form of lime, raised our soil's pH to a healthy 6.5, good for growing vegetables. We added Jersey Greensand to improve our soil's water retention. Most importantly, we began composting all of our vegetable kitchen waste and yard waste such as leaves, chips and pine needles. Even the ash from our wood stove is recycled as a pH-correcting soil additive, good for vegetables and for shrubs and trees as well. We learned we could also enhance soil fertility by rotating our crops and growing "green manure"—soil replenishing ground covers.
These strategies have enabled us to avoid chemical pesticides because healthy soil pH and crop rotation prevent the creation of habitat for pests and diseases. By contrast, chemical gardening creates the never-ending need for fertilizers and pesticides because it does not address longterm soil health.
Within two years, the garden was producing more strawberries and tomatoes than we could eat, an annual feast that now includes lettuce, spinach, leeks, scallions, onions, carrots, potatoes, celery root and rhubarb. Garlic is our new obsession, and the scapes—the "flower stalks of hard neck garlic plants"—make an amazing pesto. We grow lots of herbs, and bee balm and coneflowers to attract pollinators. Valerian and amaranthus add dramatic shapes and color, and a small tree nursery is dedicated to propagating fringe trees (Chionanthus virginicus), a beautiful flowering native.
Our personal choice to embrace organic practices has made our garden much less expensive to grow, easier to maintain and infinitely healthier to eat—in short, sustainable. And sustainability in the microcosm of my own back yard translates to a bigger picture; if every home gardener followed organic practices, we could significantly reduce toxins in our water and soil, reduce the demand for petroleum-derived chemical fertilizers and reduce the carbon footprint of the manufacture and transportation of those chemical products. That would be a collective personal choice with global environmental significance.
Our go-to reference is Eliot Coleman's book "The New Organic Gardener." Fedco (www.fedcoseeds.com [2]) is a great supplier of organic, non-GMO seeds, and Fertrell (www.fertrell.com [3]) has a range of organic soil amendments.

|AB Volvo
|Retained earnings
|Income for the period 2010
|Total retained earnings
|The Board of Directors and the President propose that the above sum be disposed of as follows:
|To the shareholders, a dividend of SEK 3.00 per share
|To be carried forward
The record date for determining who is entitled to receive dividends is proposed to be Wednesday April 11, 2012.
In view of the Board of Directors' proposal to the Annual General Meeting to be held April 4, 2012 to decide on the distribution of a dividend of SEK 3.00 per share, the Board hereby makes the following statement in accordance with Chapter 18, Section 4 of the Swedish Companies Act.
The Board of Directors concludes that the Company's restricted equity is fully covered after the proposed dividend. The Board further concludes that the proposed dividend is justifiable in view of the parameters set out in Chapter 17, Section 3, second and third paragraphs of the Swedish Companies Act. In connection herewith, the Board wishes to point out the following.
The proposed dividend reduces the Company's solvency from 54.7 per cent to 50.9 per cent and the Group's solvency from 24.3 per cent to 22.9 per cent, calculated as per year end 2011. The Board of Directors considers this solvency to be satisfactory with regard to the business in which the Group is active.
According to the Board of Directors' opinion, the proposed dividend will not affect the Company's or the Group's ability to fulfil their payment obligations and the Company and the Group are well prepared to handle both changes in the liquidity and unexpected events.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company and the Group have capacity to assume future business risks as well as to bear contingent losses. The proposed dividend is not expected to adversely affect the Company's and the Group's ability to make further commercially justified investments in accordance with the Board of Directors' plans.
In addition to what has been stated above, the Board of Directors has considered other known circumstances which may be of importance for the Company's and the Group's financial position. In doing so, no circumstance has appeared that does not justify the proposed dividend.
If the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, SEK 26,186,132,700.45 will remain of the Company's non-restricted equity, calculated as per year end 2011.
The Board of Directors has the view that the Company's and the Group's shareholders' equity will, after the proposed dividend, be sufficient in relation to the nature, scope and risks of the business.
Had the assets and liabilities not been estimated at their market value pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 14 a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the company's shareholders' equity would have been SEK 34,680,896.00 less.
1The total dividend amount is based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 23, 2012, i.e. 2,027,427,954 shares. The total dividend amount may change before the record date for determining who is entitled to receive dividends due to transfer of treasury shares to participants in the company's long-term, share-based incentive program.
The Board of Directors and the President certify that the annual financial report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the international set of accounting standards referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002 on the application of international accounting standards, and give a true and fair view of the position and profit or loss of the Company and the Group, and that the management report for the Company and for the Group gives a fair review of the development and performance of the business, position and profit or loss of the Company and the Group, and describes the principal risks and uncertainties that the Company and the companies in the Group face.

Many of the these counties are large with miles of rural roads and a limited number of sheriff's office patrol deputies to man them.
Each county has done its best to come up with a feasible solution to the problem.
Bee County Sheriff's Office, with a staff of 11, relies heavily on Operation Border Star and the grants it receives from the program.
Most recently, the county received $60,000 in Border Star grants, but, since the program was introduced in 2007, the county has received $500,000 in grants, according to Lt. Ronnie Jones of the BCSO.
Jones explained that officers aren't paid overtime but rather compensatory time simply because the department doesn't have the money in the budget for overtime.
The Border Star funds are used to pay for extra officers on the streets so the officers turn around and use their comp time to get extra Border Star shifts for which they are paid.
During the shifts, officers make "vehicular traffic stops" in hopes of stopping a vehicle containing undocumented immigrants.
While the officers must have probable cause to stop a vehicle with traffic laws more stringent than ever before, there are a number of reasons the officers can pull a vehicle over.
While the grants allow for more bodies on the street and more traffic stops to be made, the money isn't free.
There is a lot of paperwork that has to be done for the grants.
Jones also said that, once a week, all the counties (approximately 22) participating in Border Star have a conference call for "intelligence gathering and networking."
For example, if there is a spree of maroon vehicle thefts being used to transport people, this will let Bee County officers know to look out for older model maroon vehicles.
"...guys actually work together," Sheriff Carlos Carrizales said. "That's one of the things that make it (Border Star) successful; we don't let our egos get in the way."
If the Bee County Sheriffs Office does pull over a vehicle with undocumented immigrants inside, Border Patrol is called at once and the immigrants are transported to the SO, where they are held until Border Patrol arrives to pick them up.
Carrizales is proud to say that Border Star works. Bee County has detained 2,925 immigrants since the department started obtaining grants in 2007.
But he is not naive in the fact that he knows he does not catch every illegal who comes through his county.
"For every one that we get, three get away," he said.
The percentages don't deter him. The BCSO has already turned in its application for 2013 grants, and Carrizales hopes the department gets it.
Bee County isn't the only one that is having to deal with undocumented immigrants. Neighboring Goliad County has seen an increase last year.
Goliad County Sheriff Kirby Brumby said the county had a bailout almost every month during 2012.
"We are beginning to see males and females, and the ages are younger," he said. "If the illegal person has a child in school, it gives them a pathway to stay."
Brumby said that human smuggling can be very profitable.
"It's $2,500 to go from Laredo to Houston (per person)," he said. "It's better than drugs."
If a person hauling immigrants is stopped, in most cases, all people will run from the vehicle, and people have a chance to get away. If a person is stopped with drugs, there is no way to hide it.
Goliad County also participates in Border Star.
"It helps a lot," Brumby said. "One to two (officers) daily work in Border Star."
According to the media and communications department for the Department of Public Safety, Goliad County received $40,000 in Border Star funds for 2012 and $63,201 for 2010 through 2011 grant period.
While McMullen County Sheriff Emmett Shelton said he hasn't seen an increase in the number of immigrants coming though his county, they are still coming.
"It's been about the same as it has been the last couple of years," he said. "In the past couple of months, it has even decreased somewhat."
He thinks the decrease may be due to the amount of traffic coming through the area.
"The infrastructure is rural here, but the traffic is urban," he said.
Hundreds, if not more, vehicles drive on State Highways 72 and 16 every day, but just a couple of years ago traffic was not the norm of the area.
He said he typically sees men traveling through his area.
McMullen, like other rural counties, has benefited from the Border Star grants and was awarded $75,000 for 2012.
Dwayne Villanueva may be new as the Karnes County sheriff, but he is aware of the undocumented immigrant situation that is occurring across South Texas.
He said there have been bailouts on SH 71 and 81 as well as other roads in the county.
Typically, as soon as the department is aware of an immigrant bailout, DPS is called.
DPS brings in a helicopter to help recover and detain the immigrants.
While Karnes County returned the Border Star grants awarded in 2012 and did not apply during the 2010-2011 time frame, Villanueva said they will look at the situation again and "most likely will" apply for grants again in the future.
Live Oak
Live Oak County is a hot area for smugglers to come through. It is a big county with lots of rural roads and isn't that far from the Valley.
In December 2012, there was a bailout of more than 30 undocumented immigrants in the county, and only 11 of them were recovered along with two stolen vehicles.
"We will have a hot period and then it will go a month or so and not run across anything," he said.
Additionally, Live Oak has gone through a rash of stolen vehicles over the last few months and also has recovered vehicles in the county that were reported stolen from other places.
Sheriff Larry Busby said human smugglers rip out the back seat and console to fit more undocumented immigrants in the vehicle.
The vehicles found have exhibited those signs.
Live Oak's rural location also has made it a place to drop bodies of immigrants who have passed during the transport.
There were three bodies found in Live Oak County this year believed to be immigrants who died of natural causes, possibly heat, according to Busby.
According to the media and communications department for the Department of Public Safety, Live Oak County has not applied for Border Star grants the last couple of years.
Busby said he uses seized drug money to pay for the overtime of officers because he doesn't have enough staff to do all the administrative duties that comes with using the border star money.

Merilyn F. FribergFebruary 14,2013
Merilyn F. Friberg
Merilyn F. Friberg
BARRE Merilyn Virginia (Fayen) Friberg, 87, died on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013, at Woodstock Terrace Assisted Living in Woodstock, Vt., where she had lived for the past four months, after 13 years of triumphs and struggles with vascular dementia caused by a massive stroke in December of 1999.
She was born on Dec. 17, 1925, in New York City, the middle daughter of Lillian (Weber) and Cord Fayen. She grew up in New Rochelle, N.Y., where she attended grammar school and high school. She met her husband-to-be, Melvin Friberg, on the day she graduated from Skidmore College in 1947. He was the older brother of Loraine Friberg Granai, Merilyns college classmate. Married in 1949, Merilyn and Mel raised their family in Barre where he owned and operated the Anderson-Friberg Co. with Merilyns full support and devotion to him and their family. She was extremely proud of her husband and children, and she adored her six grandchildren.
Merilyn was a lovely woman with a beautiful smile, a hearty laugh and a flair for style. She was a staunch supporter of Planned Parenthood; a member of the Central Vermont Hospital Auxiliary and the Granite Center Garden Club; a Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice volunteer; and she worked as a substitute teacher in the Barre public schools. Merilyn was also a longtime member of the Barre Congregational Church. She was an avid golfer at the Barre Country Club and the Eastman Golf Club in Grantham, N.H., where she and her husband owned a second home for a short time.
Melvins death in 2009 broke Merilyns heart. She leaves behind her three children, their spouses and their children: Peter and Sally Friberg, of Cape Cod and Florida, and their children, Andrew and Lindsay; Nancy and Bob Pope, of Barre Town, and their three children, Elizabeth, Gregory and Michael; and Cary Friberg and Carl Yalicki, of Moretown, and their son, Joseph. Her sisters, Marjorie Boyd, of California, and Janice Burke, of Florida, also survive her, along with Janices husband, Douglas. She leaves behind her sister and brother-in-law, Loraine and Kio Granai, of Northfield; Tish Rossi, of Barre, who was a dear friend; and Cynthia Gable, of Barre, who became a close friend late in Merilyns life.
Her brother-in-law Robert Boyd predeceased her, as did her sister and brother-in-law Sylvia and Robert Stewart, of Barre.
The family would like to thank Sheila Ruel, of Northfield, for her loving care for and loyalty to Merilyn for many years.
Merilyns life will be honored and celebrated at noon on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013, in the Barre Congregational Church. There will be a reception in the church dining room following the service.
There are no calling hours.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Book of Remembrance, Barre Congregational Church, 35 Church St., Barre, VT 05641.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., is in charge of the arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery

At a Loss for Words
I was literally watching a live look in of Nick Adenhart's six inning shutout of the Oakland A's when people started tweeting about his death. I tried to convince myself that it was a horrible rumor in some tabloid in LA, but the people I follow on Twitter wouldn't make something like this up.

Very well put. I hope people can learn from this tragedy. Life is too short. I'll be rooting for the Angels tonight as well. They've definitely got someone up there looking out for them.
Elizabeth, great entry! I agree with everything you've said. It's times like these that baseball fans need to come together and be there for each other. I find it awesome that you hope the Angels win tonight, even though they're playing your Red Sox. That shows a lot about the kind of person you are! I'll be rooting for the Angels tonight too! They have another sort of angel watching over them tonight🙂
You make some really great points here. Idols, whether they be athletes, movie stars, or rock stars, do seem immortal at times.
Living in Virginia, I'll never forget the devastation and shock of Redskins fans after the Sean Taylor tragedy. Here is the hardest hitting safety in the game and a living hero to youth football players who is no longer invincible. I still don't think they've recovered from that. I'm sure the sentiment was similar in SoFla.
I, too, was moved by the emotion shown by Scott Boras. I never thought I'd see him be so vulnerable and said to my husband, "I guess he has a heart after all."
Elizabeth – This Red Sox fan will also find herself pulling for the Angels tonight. As a parent – I can not even imagine the horror of having to bury a child and now three more families have to leave to live with that. God Bless then all.
Really unbelievably sad thing to happen to a young kid w/ plenty potential. Horrible how it happened. It must not feel right rooting for your team against the Angels today does it? I'm watching the game and you can sense the uneasiness and pain through the tv screen.

Angels are among us at all time. Nick's life must be lived out in all of us who love baseball. We must strive to put our talents and abilities into what we are called to do, without fear of what lies ahead. Nick's life should remind us of this. Unfortunately, we lost a great talent to watch and enjoy due to someone's choice to harm themselves and kill Nick. Its unfair, hard to forgive and never will be forgotten. May Jesus Christ who suffered and died and rose again be with those who mourn at this time, especially Nick's family and friends. May they be comforted and strengthened in the tough road that lies ahead. May resurrection and good come out of this evil and senseless tragedy.
Greatly put. What a tragedy, i will be secretly pulling for the angels this season. It was not only a sad day for the Adenhart family, but also for the Angels organization, and the MLB community.
It was a tragedy that has affected all of us. We may not have known Nick, but he was special to baseball and he'll be missed. An excellent tribute! Happy Easter!
Elizabeth, you pretty much summed up everyone's feelings. No shame in that.
