DNA Evidence Links Suspect to Two Year Burglary Case
Thanks to DNA evidence collected from a drinking straw found in an energy drink can found at the crime scene, the Jackson County Sheriff's Department reports they have solved a 2-year old burglary case. 42-year old Molly Jane Williams of Rogue River faces charges related to a break-in back in March of 2010 at a residence on Brownsboro Meridian Road in Eagle Point. Williams is in custody on a variety of charges stemming from burglaries from 2010 to 2012.
Authorities say the DNA was collected from a straw in an energy drink can left behind by the suspect while committing the break-in. The probability of the match is one in 10 billion.

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania recently discovered a treatment that can prevent or reverse X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa (XLRP), a retinal disease that causes blindness in dogs. The disease is caused by defects in an ocular gene (RPGR) and can lead to early, severe and progressive vision loss. The scientists were giving shots to dogs of genetically modified viruses to deliver therapeutic RPGR genes to their eyes. They were able to successfully treat two different forms of the degenerative eye disease.
"Every single abnormal feature that defines the disease in the dogs was corrected following treatment," said lead author William Beltran, an assistant professor at Penn's School of Veterinary Medicine.
Pet owners who suspect their canine friends are developing eye problems should bring them to the veterinarian right away so the issue can be assessed and treated. The ASPCA reports there are a few clinical signs of eye health problems, including white- or red-rimmed eyelids, cloudiness of the eye or a change in color. Discharge and crusty buildup around the eyes, tear-stained fur and uneven pupil sizes can also be indicative of health issues with your dog's eyes.

Second Amendment Is For Protection
To The Reader's Forum:
Here is my stand on the "gun ban" debate. The Second Amendment states that we shall have a well armed militia. At that time, every man was part of the militia. Today we have a standing military and reserve military. However, that does not mean every man should not be allowed to own a gun. As we have seen during Operation Desert Storm, Desert Shield and Enduring Freedom, the "State Militia" or reservists are called up time and time again to serve in active military operations. That leaves no standing militia to protect the citizens; we are left to protect ourselves.
The Second Amendment was NEVER to protect hunting rights. As a matter of fact, there were no "hunting rights" back then, it was at its very essence what we call "shopping" today, a source of food sustenance. The Second Amendment has ALWAYS been about the citizens protecting themselves from Government.
In the 10 to 15 years it took to pass the Brady gun laws, all aspects of human behavior were explored and attempted to be used to ban guns. The result was a deterrent through increase background checks and tedious paperwork. Obviously that didn't work. The only thing left for the government to do is ban guns to all law-abiding citizens, criminals will not respect the ban, the criminally insane will not respect the ban and neither will their children.
What is the right thing to do then? Well, continue the conversation of why our lives are so violent We have removed television monitoring and now there are TV shows that are horribly graphic (ABC's The Munsters), excessively sexual (pick any show), and explicitly vulgar. My generation wanted to break all boundaries and get rid of all censers, but as our current society shows rules and margins should not be broken.
Also, we have worked so hard on reintegration and rehabilitation that there is nowhere for the violent mentally ill to go UNTIL a crime has been committed. Used to be these people were put in a place where they were not a danger to themselves or others BEFORE a major crime was commited, now they are homeless or filling our jail cells. Correctional Officers are not psychiatric ward councilors and nurses, Wardens are not psychiatric doctors.
The answer is not to remove the guns from everyday citizens that choose to have a gun. The solution is to re-assess our violent culture that we are bringing our children up in and to open the discussion of mental health hygiene in this nation without stigma but with honesty and a hard look at the safety of others and themselves.

This month at Capella Ixtapa we are celebrating a very traditional Mexican plant – agave. Throughout the Month of Agave we are having agave related activities; we are hosting mezcal and tequila experts, who share their secrets about these two popular spirits, we offer tequila and mezcal tastings, margarita making classes, tequila and mezcal pairing dinners, exhibitions, and more. Sommelier and mezcal expert Miguel Angel Quiroz from Ixtapa Zihuatanejo was kind enough to take a couple of minutes after his guest appearance at our events last week, and we chatted about agave and mezcal.
Miguel Angel, can you give us a short history about mezcal?
Mezcal is a prehistoric drink, produced from cooking and fermentation of agave. Its origins are in the American continent, our ancestors were fermenting the drink, but it wasn't until the Spanish colonies arrived that we learned the distillation technique brought from Spain.
How many varieties of mezcal exist? And what is its relation with tequila?
There is three types of mezcal, white or young, reposado and añejo (like in tequila). Mezcal and tequila have a lot in common and at the same time very little in common. Both are obtained from the agave, but from different types; tequila is produced from one single kind of agave (tequilana Weber or agave azul), while mezcal can use more than 20 different kinds of agave except for azul or tequilana Weber, which is exclusive for the creation of tequila. Both are harvested in a similar way, they are cooked, fermented and distilled. Today, due to its international popularity, tequila has become more industrialized, while mezcal is still artisanal in its produtcion. The cooking of agave for tequila is done in steel ovens and the cooking for mezcal is done underground in clay ovens with mezquite wood logs.
How would you define a good mezcal?
A good mezcal can be identified just by looking at it: shake the bottle to check for the formation of bubbles, or "pearls"; the finer these are the better the quality, and if they last longer it also means it's a high quality mezcal. On the palette a good mezcal should be balanced, elegantly smoked, and with an interesting spectrum of smells. I recommend you to taste it with small sips (we call them kisses) and find the different aromas and flavors that it offers.
What is the story behind the Mezcal worm?
The worm was frequently used in the first days of Mezcal mostly to give it an identity of its own and to generate expectation among consumers, today less and less mezcals use the worm, partly because the spirit is already perfectly recognizable by the consumers. The myth that if mezcal doesn't have a worm than it isn't mezcal is completely false.
Can you tell us some other myths and rituals of Mezcal?
There are two most common myths about mezcal, but both are false; If it doesn't have a worm it's not a good mezcal; and If you eat the worm you won't get drunk.
One of my favorite rituals is savoring the mezcal: Drink it by kissing it, little by little, with thirds of orange and worm salt.
What are the most traditional and what are the new trends in enjoying Mezcal?
The most traditional way to drink it is to have the entire glass in one sip. But as I mentioned, these days it is suggested (and I recommend that as well) to enjoy mezcal little by little and savor it, try to find all its flavors and aromas, with the thirds of orange or even with bitter chocolate. If you want to pair it with food, try it with typical Mexican snacks – they go along perfectly!
In your personal opinion which region in Mexico produces the best mezcal?
I think the best mezcal for each person depends on their tastes, but without a doubt Oaxaca is today the largest and most important producer of great mezcal in Mexico. Personally I love the ones from Oaxaca and Guerrero.
Which are your favorites?
I like Mezcal Katrina, which is a mezcal from Guerrero and it's created with 3 different agaves, it is an intense, elegant and delicious blend. From Oaxaca I like Mezcal Amigos Reposado with 9 years of aging in glass containers. This is a reposado with a very crystalline look, a strong smoke and very interesting overall. As a digestive I would recommend you to try Mezcal Amigos Añejo, aged 3 years in cherry barrels with delicious notes of fresh red fruits.
These sound amazing, I can't wait to try them! For the end, can you tell me are all mezcales done in an artisan way?
Yes, until today all mezcals are created in an artisan way – and I hope it stays that way [smile].
Thank you very much Miguel Angel!
It is my pleasure!

Let The Florida Chapter educate you
When you need to stay current with the latest in fire investigation techniques, look no further than yourFlorida chapter of the IAAI.
Congratulations to "Bumper" on his election as the 2017 International 2nd Vice President
Member Login
Members can login to our secure area for in-depth information.
Welcome to The Fire Investigators of Florida, Inc. Website
Message From the President
Prior to an introduction, I would like to thank William "Bumper" Moylan for being our Past President for the past 2 terms. He has served the membership well and left me in a good position in taking over as your new President. My name is Kerry Barnett. I have been in the public sector for nearly 25 years, with half being in investigations and inspections, I have owned my own consulting company for the past 5 years, and have held several positions on the Board for the past 10 years. It is an honor to serve all of you as the President of the Fire Investigators of Florida.
I would like to take some time to talk about recent changes within your organization. First, as you may have notice, our name has changed. In our March 2013 meeting the general membership approved several bylaw changes including the chapter name change. We are not arson investigators. We are fire investigators that determine cause and origin, with arson being a cause. We our one of several chapters that has moved forward with a name change and our lobbying for a change on the International level.
Second, we have down sized our Board by eliminating a Vice President and 3 Directors. This was done to be more economically sound. It has eliminated the extra expenses associated with providing quality seminars with exceptional speakers. With that said, it did cut down on the number of seminars but not the amount of hours of training provided. I assure you, our Board continues to work extremely hard in providing an advanced level of training in all areas of fire investigation.
I am also excited to advise that the Chapter has reunited with the IAAI and become part of the enhanced membership program. First and foremost, this will once again allow members to join the Chapter and the IAAI under one invoice, thus eliminating 2 payments at different times of the year. Additionally, it also will allow for on-line registration and testing for seminars.
Speaking of benefits, as a member you still receive a reduced training price versus non-members, a $5,000 Accidental Death Benefit Fund, and the ability to vote on Chapter business, and even run for office. If you feel like you don't want to be that involved but would still like to assist, consider being on a committee. The Chapter is always seeking assistance within the organization. If you are interested in being part of a committee, such as; training & education, annual seminar, membership, awards, etc… go to our contact page and give one of us a call.
Last, I and the Board would like to hear from you, whether positive or negative. It is important to us that we are meeting your needs as a member of the Fire Investigators of Florida. Remember your Board volunteers their time and dedication to this organization, therefore if negative; please respond in a professional way. It is a way to measure ourselves in ensuring we are doing our job the way it needs to be done.
In closing, seek education, grasp a hold of the science, gain experience and then apply it. Don't be afraid to go back and refresh. As Winston Churchill once stated, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
See you soon at a Chapter conference!
Kerry Barnett

Tigers don't look like a champion
They don't quite pass the smell test do they?
There's the old saying that if it looks like a duck and acts like a duck, it probably is a duck.
The Detroit Tigers looked like a duck a few months ago, but they aren't acting like one now. The duck in question, of course, is a championship prize-winning duck.
Title winning teams get the breaks and they usually get them because they're the team that's working harder, that's built better, faster, stronger.
The Boston Red Sox over the past five games of this ALCS, have exposed the Detroit Tigers lineup for what it is, a collection of big-time hitters that can do little else.
The Tigers don't play defense, they don't play small ball, their bullpen is a mess. All things which the Red Sox have, and do, in spades. And as David Ortiz showed in Game 2, they have power hitting too. The shockwaves of Ortiz's grand slam are still being felt in this series. It was the moment when the Tigers, who had dominated Boston to that point, loosened their grip and gave the Red Sox life.
The Tigers have problems that can't really be solved. When manager Jim Leyland has to decide to either put Jhonny Peralta at left field for use of his bat, or put him at shortstop and sacrifice slick fielding shortstop Jose Iglesias, that says it all doesn't it?
If the Tigers should win two games in Boston and make the World Series, a whole new set of problems arises.
Some AL teams are well equipped to play in NL ballparks, where the designated hitter slot is not available. The Tigers are not one of them.
Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez are all ill-equipped to play a position on the field. Peralta is a mediocre shortstop. Any one of those four would be better off as a DH, all have powerful bats. In an NL ballpark, Leyland can either play all four at their natural positions and field possibly the worst defensive team to ever play in a World Series, or sacrifice power for defense.
Prince Fielder is quickly becoming the goat of the postseason and just so happens to bat in the sweet spot of the order. Leyland is loyal and understands slumps. Fielder will not be demoted in the order; Leyland holds out hope that the slump will suddenly end. It's a nice thought. Hopefully he's right.
The more conventional, though risky, move might be to either bench Fielder or switch his spot in the order with Peralta, who has been on a tear. Fans are frustrated and deservedly so. Fielder was showered with boos late in game 5 when Detroit's third rally attempt of the night was squashed by another one-pitch groundout to the Tigers' slugger.
Is it better to stay with the status quo and wonder what if, if the Tigers are eliminated tonight?
There is still hope. Aside from their power hitting, the other area where Detroit holds an advantage, is its starting pitching. Two of the game's top three pitchers are up next for the Tigers. Max Scherzer Saturday night and Justin Verlander in a prospective Game 7. With the assumed Cy-Young winner and the 2012 Cy-Young winner set to go, the Tigers will have a shot to pull it out, but each will need to go eight innings. The bullpen simply cannot be trusted, and that even includes closer Joaquin Benoit.
The Red Sox, on the other hand possess the nearly unhittable Koji Uehara with an ERA of 1.13, a WHIP of 0.50. He barely even allows runners on base.
If the Tigers don't have a lead in the late innings, they can forget about it.
Great pitching will almost always beat great hitting.
So tonight, a team built to slug their way to the World Series must do just that, and a pitcher that is favored to win the Cy Young must pitch like it. And maybe, if it all comes together, the defensive miscues will become an afterthought, the slumping slugger will be forgiven, we will celebrate and then ponder these same questions one night later for Game 7.

39 CFR 265.8 - Business information; procedures for predisclosure notification to submitters.
(a) In general. This section provides a procedure by which persons submitting business information to the Postal Service can request that the information not be disclosed pursuant to a request under the Freedom of Information Act. This section does not affect the Postal Service's right, authority, or obligation to disclose information in any other context, nor is it intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the Postal Service, its officers, or any person. Existing rights of submitters are also unaffected. For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(1) Business information means commercial or financial information provided directly or indirectly to the Postal Service by a submitter that arguably is protected from disclosure under Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), which is restated in § 265.6(b)(2).
(2) Submitter means any person or entity who provides business information, directly or indirectly, to the Postal Service. The term includes, but is not limited to, corporations, state governments, and foreign governments.
(b) Notice to submitters.
(1) The custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide a submitter with prompt written notice of a Freedom of Information Act request for the submitter's business information whenever required under paragraph (c) of this section, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, in order to afford the submitter an opportunity to object to disclosure pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section. Such written notice shall either describe the exact nature of the business information requested or provide copies of the records or portions of records containing the business information. In the case of an administrative appeal, the General Counsel shall be responsible for providing such notification as may be appropriate under this section.
(2) When notice is given to a submitter under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the requester also shall be notified that notice and an opportunity to object are being provided to the submitter pursuant to this section.
(c) When notice is required. Notice shall be given to a submitter whenever:
(1) The submitter has in good faith designated the information as information deemed protected from disclosure under Exemption 4, in accordance with the procedure described in paragraph (e) of this section; or
(2) In the opinion of the custodian, or of the General Counsel in the case of an administrative appeal, it is likely that disclosure of the information would result in competitive harm to the submitter.
(d) Exceptions to notice requirements. The notice requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall not apply if:
(1) The Postal Service determines without reference to the submitter that the information will not be disclosed;
(2) The information lawfully has been published or has been officially made available to the public;
(3) Disclosure of the information is required by law (other than the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552); or
(4) Disclosure of the particular kind of information is required by a Postal Service regulation, except that, in such case, advance written notice of a decision to disclose shall be provided to the submitter if the submitter had provided written justification for protection of the information under Exemption 4 at the time of submission or a reasonable time thereafter.
(e) Procedure for designating business information at the time of its submission.
(1) Submitters of business information shall use good-faith efforts to designate, by appropriate markings, either at the time of submission or at a reasonable time thereafter, those portions of their submissions which they deem to be protected from disclosure under Exemption 4. Each record, or portion thereof, to be so designated, shall be clearly marked with a suitable legend such as Privileged Business Information - Do Not Release. When the designated records contain some information for which an exemption is not claimed, the submitter shall clearly indicate the portions for which protection is sought.
(2) At the time a designation is made pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this section, the submitter shall furnish the Postal Service with the name, title, address and telephone number of the person or persons to be contacted for the purpose of the notification described in paragraph (b) of this section.
(3) Submitters who provide to a postal facility business information on a recurring basis and in substantially identical form may use the following simplified process: The first submission will provide in full the information required in paragraphs (e)(1) and (2) of this section; shall identify the type of information, e.g., PS Form 3602, to which it is intended to apply; and shall state that it is intended to serve as a designation for all of the information of this type that is submitted to the particular facility. Thereafter when providing this type of information, the submitter need only mark a submission with a reference to the designation, e.g., Privileged: see letter of 4-1-91. By written agreement with the head of the facility, even this marking may be dispensed with if it is not necessary to alert postal employees at that facility of the claim of exemption.
(4) A designation made pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section shall be deemed to have expired ten years after the date the records were submitted unless the submitter requests, and provides reasonable justification for, a designation period of greater duration.
(5) The Postal Service will not determine the validity of any request for confidential treatment until a request for disclosure of the information is received.
(f) Opportunity to object to disclosure. Through the notice described in paragraph (b) of this section, the submitter shall be afforded a reasonable period of time within which to provide the Postal Service with a detailed written statement of any objection to disclosure. Such statement shall specify all grounds for withholding any of the information under any exemption of the Freedom of Information Act and, in the case of Exemption 4, shall demonstrate why the information is contended to be a trade secret or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential. Whenever possible, the submitter's claim of confidentiality should be supported by a statement or certification by an officer or authorized representative of the submitter that the information in question is in fact confidential, has not been disclosed to the public by the submitter, and is not routinely available to the public from other sources. Information provided by a submitter pursuant to this paragraph may itself be subject to disclosure under the FOIA.
(g) Determination that confidential treatment is warranted. If the custodian determines that confidential treatment is warranted for any part of the requested records, he shall inform the requester in writing in accordance with the procedures set out in § 265.7(d) of this chapter, and shall advise the requester of the right to appeal. A copy of the letter of denial shall also be provided to the submitter of the records in any case in which the submitter had been notified of the request pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section.
(h) Notice of intent to disclose. The custodian, in the case of an initial request, or the General Counsel, in the case of an appeal, shall consider carefully a submitter's objections and specific grounds for nondisclosure prior to determining whether to disclose business information. In the event of a decision to disclose business information over the objection of the submitter, the submitter shall be furnished a written notice which shall include:
(1) A description of the business information to be disclosed;
(2) A statement of the reasons for which the submitter's disclosure objections were not sustained; and
(3) The specific date upon which disclosure will occur. Such notice of intent to disclose shall be forwarded to the submitter a reasonable number of days prior to the specified disclosure date and the requester shall be notified likewise.
(i) Notice of FOIA lawsuit. Whenever a requester brings suit seeking to compel disclosure of business information, the General Counsel shall promptly notify the submitter.
Title 39 published on 2015-07-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 39 CFR Part 265 after this date.

MLC coach Randy Cox Named Coach of the Year in UMAC
ST. PAUL – Several members of the Martin Luther College baseball program received honors from the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Friday in its postseason awards release.
Coach Randy Cox was named Coach of the Year, while juniors Jake Ziel and Galen Holzhueter were named First Team All-UMAC.
Also receiving recognition were Aaron Stokke and Andrew Nemmers, who were named Honorable Mention All-UMAC.
Cox led the Knights to their first UMAC tournament appearance since 2008, finishing the season with a record of 14-12 overall and 8-6 in UMAC play. This was Cox's fourth season at the helm of the MLC program, and the Knights finished the season with the most wins (14) the program has had since the 2005 season.
Ziel was the ace throughout the season for the Knights' pitching staff, leading the team with an ERA of 1.43 in six appearances. He finished the season with a record of 4-1, and ranked inside the top 50 in a number of categories nationally. Amongst NCAA Division III pitchers, Ziel ranked third in hits allowed per nine innings (5.32), fourth in WHIP (0.8), eighth in strikeouts per nine innings (11.05), and 36th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.0). He also finished second in the UMAC in total strikeouts (54), and helped the Knights finish the season 16th in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings as a team (8.0).
Holzhueter became the first player to be named First Team All-UMAC in football, basketball and baseball in the same school year since at least 2007-08. He batted .333 and also led the team with 14 walks, which helped him finish sixth in the UMAC with an on-base percentage of .451 over the course of the season. He also led MLC in RBI (16), runs scored (22), stolen bases (seven), home runs (one) and total bases (37), and tied for the team lead in triples (two).
Stokke started 24 of 26 games as the Knights' primary catcher. He batted .308 overall with three doubles, six walks, 10 RBI and 16 runs scored. Behind the plate, he helped lead the pitching staff to a 4.96 ERA over the course of the season, and threw out 32.7 percent of attempted base stealers.
Nemmers tied Ziel and senior Joe Janke for the team lead with four wins on the mound, and also struck out 32 in 36 innings. He finished the season with an ERA of 3.25, and earned complete game wins in must-win games for MLC down the stretch against Northland (May 4) and Bethany (May 10). At the plate, Nemmers batted .247 with two doubles, two triples and 14 RBI.
The Knights also won the Team Sportsmanship Award, given to the team that best exemplifies sportsmanship throughout the season. Senior third baseman Brad Essig was the MLC recipient of the Individual Sportsmanship Award, given to one player on each team for their sportsmanship during the year.

Arts center reopens director search
A four-month search for a new executive director for the city's largest arts organization has resulted in a do-over.
The search committee for the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center announced through a press release Thursday that it is reopening the search after the top finalist declined the arts center's job offer in order to "pursue other opportunities."
"It is our feeling that it is in the best interest of the arts center to reopen the application process, albeit with a tighter timeline," said Lita Martinez, co-chair of the search committee.
Applications will be accepted through Dec. 13 and the committee hopes to have someone on the job by mid-January. According to the arts center, more than 125 people applied for the director's job when it was posted in July.
Martinez said arts center controller Rochelle Spoone will act as interim director until a new director is hired. Spoone has served in that role in the past.
A complete job description is available at sdc-arts.org/downloads/ExecutiveDirector1113.pdf.

DREXEL HILL (AP) — Authorities say a 13-year-old girl assaulted a crossing guard in a Philadelphia suburb and threatened to shoot her.
Police in Drexel Hill say the 76-year-old guard had just left her post when it happened Tuesday afternoon. Upper Darby police say the guard felt something in her back and that the girl threatened to shoot her if she didn't get out of the way.
A man who lives nearby intervened and the woman called 911.
Officers say the girl struggled with them as they tried to arrest her. Police believe the object pushed into the woman's back was a pen.
At the police station, officers say the girl was placed in a containment room and spit on those who came near her. She faces charges of aggravated assault and other counts.

Home > Preparing for College > Prepare at School > Earn College Credit in High School >
International Baccalaureate
International Baccalaureate (IB) is a two-year pre-college diploma program. Students select one subject from six subject groups: the student's primary language, a second language, mathematics, experimental sciences, the arts and humanities.
IB courses are a good deal because:
- Students may earn both high school and college credit. This can save you time and money when you actually get to college.
- The course work is college-level. You may do better in college classes later because you'll know what to expect.
- You take college-level courses in your high school. This gives you a taste of college within the safety of your high school walls.
- You choose which courses to study at standard or advanced academic level. You must take at least three but not more than four advanced level classes. This gives you flexibly based on your existing level of knowledge.
- You can use IB credit internationally. Since IB is an international program, foreign colleges and universities may award you college credit.
Who is eligible to participate?
You must be a high school student, but your school may require a certain academic standing or GPA before you are allowed to participate. Check with your counselor's office or school district.
Who teaches the course?
The class is taught by a regular high school teacher.
Where is the class taught?
The class is held at your high school just like the rest of your classes.
How much does it cost?
There is no cost to the student.
How do I earn college credit?
You must take an exam which is graded on a seven-point scale (4 represents the lowest passing grade). You must take an exam in each of the six subject areas and earn a total of 24 total points to receive the pre-college diploma. Students not on the diploma track can earn a certificate.
Pre-college diploma students also must complete the community service Creativity, Action, and Service program, an extended essay of up to 4,000 words, and the Theory of Knowledge course.
Do all colleges and universities accept these credits?
Acceptance and transfer of credits varies by college, but many do accept credits earned through the program. Others colleges may choose to award advanced placement instead. This allows you to take upper-level courses without taking the introductory, prerequisite courses. Some will allow you to earn both credit and placement. If you're interested in a specific college, be sure to ask admissions about their policy.
Which Minnesota high schools participate?
In the Twin Cities:
- Central - St. Paul
- Champlin Park
- Fridley
- Great River School - St. Paul (public charter)
- Harding - St. Paul
- Highland - St. Paul
- Minnetonka
- Park Center - Brooklyn Center
- Patrick Henry - Minneapolis
- Robbinsdale-Cooper
- South St. Paul

By Lynne Eley, Colorado Master GardenerSM, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver
When you are feeling that the world around you is chaotic and unpredictable, it may help to think about the highly organized world of the honey bee.
Among the 10,000 species of bees identified, the honey bee is the only one that produces honey. Honeybees are social insects, living in colonies of up to 80,000 bees-- each with its own purpose.
What is life like for a honeybee? It depends upon what its status is when born. If it is a female, it will be most likely to become a worker. The life of the worker bee involves the making and maintenance of the nest. The youngest worker bees clean the empty cell and tend to the 'baby bees' or larvae. It is the worker bee you are most likely to encounter outside as it gathers nectar, pollen and water for the young in the hive. A bee will fly in random patterns to collect the nectar, but when it has all it can carry, the bee will make a 'beeline' for the nest.
The success of a beehive depends largely on the queen bee. For some unknown reason, worker bees will select only a few of the larvae to develop into queens. The selected larvae have special cells to grow in and are fed royal jelly. A queen will emerge from her cell in only 16 days after the egg has been laid.
She will eat honey to gain strength. If there is more than one queen in the nest the
queen bees may fight until death or a queen may leave or 'swarm' from the nest with other
workers to establish a new colony. A newly established queen bee flies out of the hive and
will mate with one or several "drones." Most likely, this one mating event will
allow her to lay eggs for the rest of her life. A queen bee may lay up to 2,000 eggs a day
and up to 1,000,000 in her lifetime.
The "drones" are male bees that have developed from unfertilized eggs. They do no work and are stingless. Their only job is to mate with the queen. An unmated queen will lay drone eggs. She will only lay worker eggs if she is fertilized. In autumn, when the honey flow is over, so is the need for drones. The workers will allow the drones to starve to death when the egg laying season finishes, and they would eat too much of the stored honey if allowed to live over the winter.
The lives of bees are so fascinating that many people have glass-walled hives so that they can observe the industry and efficiency of a bee colony. We should all appreciate these marvelous insects!

Prep Roundup (2-18-13)
TAWAS-Ami Milligan had a career night as the Alpena girls basketball team topped Tawas on Monday 45-40.
Milligan scored a career-high 18 points, including 17 in the first half and a 5-of-6 mark from three point range.
Christina Kollien added a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
"I wasn't anticipating that she (Milligan) would score so many points," Tawas coach Todd Kaems said.
The first quarter saw Alpena holding onto a tight 13-11 lead. The second quarter was key as Alpena pulled ahead 28-16.
The third quarter saw Tawas playing catch up, narrowing the lead to 37-31 but Alpena was able to hold onto the lead.
"Our goal was to keep Ivy Schaaf from scoring. We held her to only eight points," Alpena coach Jenny Poli said.
Olivia Janis led Tawas with 19 points while Serina Sciotti added nine.
The Wildcats also pulled down 40 total rebounds as a team.
Alpena's JV team also won 52-27 with Morgan Allen leading the way with 14 points. Kelsey Udell added nine points while Mykala Price snatched 13 rebounds.
The Wildcats' freshmen team also won 52-37 with Mary Schimmel scoring 17 and Caitlyn Dzuris adding 12.
Alpena travels to Petoskey on Friday while Tawas travels to Mio tonight.

"I'm really happy to get the record for Karina. She is a complete team player and that really showed tonight," Alcona assistant coach Mark Feldhiser said.
Kendra Cole added seven points and grabbed five rebounds while Lilly Manning scored six.
The first quarter saw Alcona take a 15-5 lead. They streaked ahead 37-10 in the second while holding Whittemore to six more points in the rest of the game.
"It was encouraging to see us play four strong quarters. We got the win by playing really strong team defense and fast breaking," Feldhiser said.
The JV team also pulled off a convincing 52-23 win.
Alcona is now 14-2 overall and 5-0 in the Huron Shores Conference.
Rogers City 42,
Hillman 39
ROGERS CITY-The Rogers City girls basketball team (2-14) pulled off a 42-39 upset at home against the Hillman Tigers (8-10) on Monday.

The Education Policy and Planning Committee proposed on Friday to add a point to courses with two weekly lectures and a discussion section.
The recommendation to increase the point value from 3 points to 4 points came after the EPPC—a committee of professors, students, and administrators formed in 2012—reviewed results of a survey conducted during the past academic year that assessed student stress levels, course loads, major and concentration rates, and homework levels.
"Lecture courses with discussion sections that are routine parts of the course are the one course form that appeared most obviously under-valued (in terms of points) within our course structure," EPPC chair and history professor Susan Pedersen said in an email to Spectator.
Pedersen said that the rationale behind adding the extra point comes from a consistent rise in the number of courses, majors, and programs students take on during their time at Columbia, which is often detrimental to the caliber of their work. According to the survey, approximately half of students who declare multiple majors complete both.
"This is a modest change, but we hope that by bringing point values for such courses more into line with our expectations about student work, we are signaling that four courses of this kind is as normal' a course load as five three-point courses," Pedersen said.
The EPPC can only make recommendations, but Pedersen said the committee plans to work with the Committee on Instruction and individual departments over the coming academic year to make point-value changes to appropriate courses.
Pedersen indicated that departments heavy in courses that have the biweekly lecture and discussion section format, like the social sciences, were receptive to EPPC's recommendation. Virginia Fortna, chair of the political science department, said she's in favor of the proposed changes.
"I think rationalizing the point system such that similar types of courses across and even within different departments have the same point value is quite important—at the moment there is often no rhyme or reason to what is assigned 3 vs 4 points," Fortna said in an email. "So in general I support this initiative."
The survey, which primarily dealt with stress and academic workload, was distributed to Columbia College and School of General Studies students and had an overall response rate of 25 percent.
Students perceive that the average number of courses a Columbia student takes is higher than the actual number of courses respondents indicated they took—a trend that EPPC believes puts an increased pressure on students as they choose their courseload.
"The question of student stress is a complex one. We recognize that our students are ambitious and capable: they want to do a lot. What we want to do is to make sure that our curricular structure makes it possible for students to do challenging programs in ways that are in line with our intellectual values," she said.
Columbia College Student Council Academic Affairs Representative Nora Habboosh, CC '14, said that she supports the recommendations.
"Generally, I think it's a good change. I think that students will really appreciate getting point credit for the time they're putting in outside of lecture in a discussion section," Habboosh said.
Habboosh added that she hopes that students have a voice in further academic policy review.
"It will hopefully offer some more collaboration between CCSC and those committees, which are largely staffed by faculty who, for the most part, we don't have a lot of access to," she said. "If we collaborate, I think we can produce some data that we can really work with to make some change."
CCSC Vice President of Policy Bob Sun, CC '14, agreed with Habboosh and said he hopes EPPC and other administrative bodies will be transparent going forward.
"This is good that they're releasing some of the survey data. I hope it's all released soon and I hope that students get to be involved in this decision-making process. We have student representatives on these committees. I hope that the conversations, the agendas of these committees and the whole decision making process continues to be made public," Sun said. "It seems that administrators have sort of fallen back into their old ways of being opaque and harder to penetrate. I hope that there's a renewed commitment to transparency."
Though the change is purely academic for CC students, it poses a financial consideration for GS students, who pay for their tuition based on credits taken rather than at a flat rate per semester like CC students.
"With 124 credits required, technically the cost of completing a bachelor's will remain the same," General Studies Student Council Academic Affairs Representative Malcolm Marcoulides, GS, said. "My main concern is that this does not disproportionately affect students of the School of General Studies and that it moves forward in a way that is fair."
Ultimately, Sun said that this recommendation would be a welcome one.
"We're regularly on par with the number of courses—with the number of hours we're on par with MIT and Caltech, and way above Yale and Harvard, and that's not where we should be," Sun said. "I hope this policy [recommendation] will be the beginning of further changes within the college in terms of credits."

Wednesday morning at the [Oracle OpenWorld 2011] conference started with another keynote session. This time, Safra Catz, CFO and President of Oracle, introduced John Chambers, CEO of Cisco.
John says Cisco is helping to "empower the customer through market transitions." This includes helping customers decide how to deploy new technology, choosing between integrated stacks and interoperable components, scaling the business with a flat IT budget, and how/when to decide on moving to the cloud.
(FTC Disclosure: IBM resells Cisco switches and directors and are considered a partner in this sense. If you are going to buy Cisco switches and directors, please consider buying them through IBM.)
The information economy is transitioning to a networked one. Access to information is not as important as access to expertise. Process and Procedures are not as important as Communities and Relationships. The old style Command-and-Control management is giving way to Collaboration. He showed a chart that showed the evolution from routed/bridged networks to packet/mobile and video. He also had a chart that showed the evolution from Mainframe/Mini-computers, to Client/Server and Web, to Virtualization in the Cloud. He also indicated that Google's acquisition of Motorola was indicative of the "Death of the PC".
High Tech companies must re-invent themselves to stay relevant. Here were Cisco's five "Foundational Priorities":
- Leadership in the Core. This refers to his core business of high-end Ethernet and Fibre Channel directors.
- Collaboration. This was the original promise of networking computers together, was to bring people together also. He feels that "Collaboration" will take off in the 2010's.
- Data Center/Virtualization/Cloud. Cisco is now in the business of selling computers. They are now #2 in North America for x86 server sales, and #3 globally. In this regard, they are a direct competitor to both IBM and Oracle at this conference. John wants to create "borderless" networks between Private and Public clouds. He claims that they have now 8,228 Ciscu UCS customers over the past 18 months. This was a slam at Oracle, who hasn't sold half that many new systems in the same time period.
- Video. John indicated that every product in the Cisco family is video-enabled, from the Cius tablet, to WebEx, to TelePresence, to all of his switches and directors. In theory, the "Flip" video cam that Cisco dropped in their latest round of layoffs would have also been counted in that category. John indicates that he envisions video will take over as the predominant communication mechanism. Back in 2006, at Oracle OpenWorld, John showed a chart that indicated that people will transition from passive TV-watchers to active video producers. Here we are five years later, and while 24 hours' worth of video are uploaded to YouTube every second, most people are still TV-watchers.
- Architectures for Business Transformation. He elaborated on this to refer to issues like reliability, security, and products that are designed to work together. Business and Government leaders are focused on their business, not technology.
He gave a demo of Cisco UCS. This is a 4U collection of server blades, with up to 384GB of DRAM using 8GB DIMMs, or 192GB using much-cheaper 4GB DIMMs. There are 2 switches with 8 ports each 10GbE, for a total of 160 Gbps, that can carry both Ethernet and FCoE traffic. The UCS System Manager is similar to IBM's Unified Resource Manager in that it manages the entire box. A "service profile" has 40 to 50 BIOS settings that can be applied to give each x86 blade a specific personality. You can re-provision these by changing their service profile as needed.
The next demo was really cool. They took video that involved people talking, and had it "machine transcribed" so that you can read the words being said in the video. Type in a word like "tolerances" in the search engine, and the video advances exactly to the spot where that word is uttered.
The next demo after that involved a special camera for monitoring High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in traffic. In an example used in London, UK, the camera can see inside the car and confirm there are enough people to justify HOV usage, and if not, scan the license plate and charge the owner of the vehicle a fine. (In a sense, "Big Data" analytics combined with Cisco's vision of ubiquitous video equals [Big Brother])
In another slam against Oracle, John actually backed up his claims with published benchmarks. He wrapped up his talk with: "If I have done my job well, then you will all leave this room a bit uncomfortable." Not surprisingly, John didn't mention either the vBlock relationship with EMC, or the FlexPod relationship with NetApp.

Power Authority's Transmission Unit Selects Outstanding
Connie Cullen
printer-friendly version
April 30, 2002
WHITE PLAINS—H. Kenneth Haase, senior vice president of the New York
Power Authority's (NYPA) Transmission Business unit, has announced the
selection of Derrick Piper as Employee of the Fourth Quarter 2001 and Len
Panzica, Mike Parisi, Mark Graham, Carmine Vecchione, and Gary Eng as
Employees of the Year 2001. NYPA is the largest transmission owner in New
York State. The Transmission unit is responsible for transmission planning,
operations planning and transmission services, interconnection agreements,
and the operation of the Power Authority's Energy Control Center (ECC) in
Marcy and its relationship to the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)—the
non-profit that administers the wholesale electricity market and coordinates
operation of the high voltage transmission system in the state.
The staff members were selected for this honor by the Transmission unit's
Employee Recognition Committee which is a group of peers who volunteer to
serve and who make their decisions based on nominations submitted from
within their unit. This in-house recognition program is sponsored by the
Power Authority at all its offices and facilities state-wide.
Piper, Electrical Engineer II, was selected because of his commitment to
and exceptional work with his NYPA colleagues and with professionals from
outside organizations involved in NYPA projects. He has been an
instrumental force at the ECC for the PowerNow! In-City Generation Project.
The In-City Generation Project installed, in an expedited timeframe, ten
gas-turbines in New York City and one on Long Island that are helping to
avert serious power supply problems for these areas, and in addition, helped
to keep the lights on there during last summer's record-breaking heat wave.
Piper has been responsible for creating technical models of the gas
turbines for the ECC's Energy Management System (EMS) and also creating
real-time EMS displays allowing the ECC operators to run the gas turbines.
He worked directly with the NYISO to provide the real-time information
required to operate the gas turbines. He also helped develop agreements
with other utilities for operation, coordination and interconnection of the
gas turbines.
When the ECC brought aboard a new Siemens computer, it came equipped with
Advanced Applications Technology. Piper's knowledge of this technology is
beneficial to all operators, and directly affects all of NYPA's project
operations and the entire power grid.Piper has been with the Power Authority
for 10 years and is a resident of Russia.
Len Panzica, Senior Engineer II; Mike Parisi, Senior
Electrical Engineer I; Mark Graham, Senior System Planning Engineer I;
Carmine Vecchione, System Planning Engineer II and Gary Eng, Electrical
Engineer , were selected as Employees of the Year 2001 for their outstanding
work on the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS)
Project. While the effort to realize this project involved the hard work
and dedication of many people throughout NYPA, these individuals exhibited
outstanding leadership and generously shared their expertise to help achieve
this milestone in transmission work.
NYPA's Convertible Static Compensator (CSC), located at
the ECC, is a state-of-the-art FACTS device that provides an advancement of
an emerging technology to use existing transmission lines to carry more
electricity and it also provides an immediate favorable effect on the
reliability of New York's electric grid.
Parisi and Panzica were involved in significant efforts
to bring Phase I of the CSC to fruition. After learning how to safely and
effectively operate the FACTS device, which provides transmission system
voltage support and regulation, they wrote instructions for on-shift
personnel and supervised on-line field testing. They also visited American
Electric Power's FACTS device in Kentucky, revised operating instructions
for the ECC senior system operators and held training sessions for all ECC
operators which they developed and taught.
On-line field tests of Phase I of the CSC were held
February 6-27, 2001 and were coordinated by Panzica. While many NYPA staff
members were involved, the Transmission unit representatives,from NYPA's
White Plains office, at the tests were Mark Graham, Carmine Vecchione and
Gary Eng. They played key roles in analyzing test results, comparing them
to study analyses they had performed prior to the tests, and recommending
additional tests or modifications to the planned test schedule. They split
three weeks of testing into shifts to provide full support at the site
during the entire field testing period.
Phase I of the CSC was successfully placed into
commercial operation on April 2, 2001 when it was accepted by the NYISO for
increasing transmission capacity between Utica and Albany by 60 MW. The
extra effort by all resulted in the use of this device for Summer 2001.
Panzica, a Clinton resident, has been with the Power
Authority for 29 years with service, at several NYPA locations, in
electrical engineering positions of increasing responsibility, and achieved
his current position 4 years ago. He is an active community volunteer
including service as an Adult Leader, Troop 9 of the Boy Scouts of America;
Team Assistant, Clinton Youth Hockey Association; Assistant Coach, Clinton
Little League; Assistant Referee, American Youth Soccer Organization and
Member, Clinton Central School PTA. His wife, Karen Sullivan, is a former
employee in NYPA's Marketing Dept. They have four children, Lindsay, Derek,
Kevin and Heather.
Parisi, a Deerfield resident, has been with the Power
Authority for 14 years having served in a number of electrical engineering
positions at the ECC, where he presently works, and also in NYPA's New York
City office. He and his wife, Bridget, have two children, Luke and Claire.
Graham, a resident of Whitestone, has served with the
Power Authority for 12 years. He has a son, Ryan.
Vecchione, a licensed NY State Professional Engineer,
resides in New Jersey. He has 12 years of service with the Power Authority
including the last seven years in his present position, and he currently
works in NYPA's White Plains office in the operations planning group.
Eng, who also works in the White Plains office, moved
this past December to NYPA's Power Generation unit from the Transmission
unit where he earned this award serving as an Electrical Engineer I. During
his 15 years of NYPA service, he also worked in Nuclear Generation as an
Associate Electrical Engineer.

ED Weekly Report - Week of April 29, 2013
USA Field Hockey Weekly Report-Week of April 29, 2013
Here is something of interest regarding the growth of sport in the USA. The following article appeared in Monday's edition of the Washington Post and provides some interesting information. In earlier weekly reports, our focus has been on the success we have had with our own developmental program FUNdamental Field Hockey and how we are expanding the program into a larger campaign called Grow the Game. Take a look at this as this article speaks of trends in sport development:
The Washington Post
Published April 24, 2013
Wanna play catch?
With the longer days and warmer weather, lots of kids around Washington are asking that question. It used to be that they would grab their baseball gloves. Now, more kids are grabbing lacrosse sticks to play catch.
Lacrosse is the fastest-growing sport in America. But don't take my word for it. I spoke to Tom Cove, the president of the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) in Silver Spring.
The SFIA is a group of more than 750 businesses, including Nike, Adidas and Russell Athletic, that make and sell sports equipment. Cove and the SFIA keep a close eye on how many people are playing sports. After all, those folks are not just athletes; they're also customers.
Sports are a big deal for kids. Cove says that between 60 million and 70 million kids play organized sports in America. And lacrosse is a new favorite.
According to a 2012 study done by the SFIA and other business associations, participation in lacrosse went up between 2007 and 2011, soaring more than 29 percent in the last two years of the study.
Other sports are on the upswing, too. Ice hockey, field hockey and ultimate Frisbee have become more popular in the past couple of years. Gymnastics has also had a big jump. Cove says that usually happens after the Summer Olympics, where gymnastics competitions are a big deal.
Not every sport is growing. Wrestling is way down. The number of kids playing football, baseball and volleyball is going down, but more slowly. The popularity of soccer and basketball has leveled off. And, according to the 2012 study, kids are not skateboarding as much as they used to.
Of course, most kids don't care which sport is popular. The most important sport is the one or two or three you like to play. I think it's great that there are lots of different sports for kids to choose from.
If kids don't like the most popular sports — basketball, baseball, soccer and football — they can play tennis or lacrosse or go swimming.
It's important for kids to do something active. Physical education at school is valuable, too. The 2012 study shows that kids who participated in PE are much more likely to play sports and be active when they grow up.
So, run out and play catch. With a baseball or football or Frisbee or lacrosse ball.
And in another article featured in the most recent edition of Men's Health, eight sports that are perceived to put kids' brains on the line are revealed:
8 Most Dangerous Sports for Your Kids
by Bill Phillips and the Editors of Men's Health
Both of my daughters are avid soccer players, so this moment was inevitable. It just came much sooner than I expected. Last winter, indoor league. A teammate on my 10-year-old's team blasted a shot from the corner. It bounced off a defender's leg, and flew into the air. My daughter sprinted toward it, cocked her neck, and headed it into the goal. Her teammates celebrated with her. Hugs all around. I sighed. I knew what I'd be doing the rest of the day—pouring through concussion research.
The first thing I learned: I'm glad I had daughters, and they don't want to play football. Studies suggest that about 67,000 high school football players are diagnosed with concussions each year. Recent work says that number could be way low: Half of high school footballers surveyed in a 2012 study said they'd felt concussion symptoms in the past, but hadn't reported them.
The youngest players have the oldest equipment and least experienced coaches, says Brent Masel, M.D., medical director of the Brain Injury Association of America. And their brains are particularly vulnerable to trauma because neurons aren't fully sheathed in myelin—a protective covering of cells. In other words, their brain cells are like telephone wires without any protective coating.
Makes a dad wonder: Are my kids at risk? Are yours? Below are eight sports that put kids' brains on the front lines.
When Boston University researchers autopsied the brains of 85 athletes (including NFL, college, and high school football players) with histories of concussions, they found 80 percent showed evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to dementia and death. The damage starts earlier, though: A Virginia Tech and Wake Forest study of seven youth football players found that the average player sustains 107 head impacts in nine practices and four games. And the hits are hard—some similar in magnitude to those that college players face, the researchers say.
According to a recent CBC Sports tally, 88 NHL players missed 1,697 games because of concussions in the 2011-12 season—but being checked into the boards at a young age is just as dangerous. A March 2013 study in PLOS ONE found that ice hockey was to blame for nearly half of the almost 13,000 sports-related brain injuries that sent kids to the E.R.
Pole Vaulting
"As a sport, track is low risk for concussions—pole vaulters, though, are at high, high risk," says Robert Cantu, M.D., and co-director of Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy. Land anywhere but where you're supposed to—which happens a lot—and you're in prime position for a head injury, he says.
After studying the brains of 12 soccer players with an average age of 19 who never suffered a concussion but regularly headed the ball, Harvard Medical School researchers found potentially damaging changes in the areas of the brain responsible for memory and higher-level thinking in the soccer players.
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons reports that more sports-related head injuries in 2009 occurred on bicycles than on football, baseball, and softball fields combined.
Third only to football and hockey, boy's lacrosse is known for high concussion rates, according to study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. And while helmet-to-helmet collisions are always a danger, some experts believe the girls' heads are at even more risk. Why? They don't wear helmets. Girls also have weaker necks than boys—and research has suggested females take longer to bounce back from head injuries than their male counterparts.
Baseball & Softball
If your kid's a pitcher, you're probably nervous. But the majority of disastrous injuries in baseball don't come from being hit by a ball, says Dr. Cantu. They happen when sliding headfirst into a base. Hitting someone's leg—or worse, a catcher's shin guard—puts young players at high risk for concussions, he says.
Cheerleading is generally a low risk activity for concussions, but one girl is at astronomical risk: the flyer, says Dr. Cantu. Being thrown 20 feet in the air, only to leave your fate up to those below, sends your risk for catastrophic head and spine injuries through the roof, he says.
Note that field hockey is not perceived to be a danger sport. This is really good news as we think our rule creation is high quality and does contribute to the safety within hockey. Plus, a big component that demonstrates hockey safety is that our insurance loss-run history is minimal. Insurance claims are always a reliable measure.
Conan: "A new study came out that shows that the germiest place in your kitchen is the refrigerator's vegetable drawer. After hearing this, most Americans said, "We have a vegetable drawer?"
Have a great week!
Steve Locke
Executive Director

50+: Live Better, Longer
Feb. 2, 2012 -- The rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) has more than doubled among middle-aged adults and the elderly over the last decade, but the reasons for this are unclear.
One cause may be the increased popularity of erectile dysfunction drugs that have made sex possible for millions of aging men.
Or it could be the determination of baby boomers, who ushered in the sexual revolution, to stay sexually active as they age.
Or it might be the low rate of condom use among older couples, who no longer worry about pregnancy and may not think they are at risk for STDs.
The contribution of any or all of these factors to the rising STD rate in this age group is not clear, experts say, because very few researchers have studied the issue.
"If you want to know about sexually transmitted infections in teens and younger adults, there are plenty of studies to look at, but there is almost nothing to tell us why rates are increasing among older adults," says Rachel von Simson of King's College London, who co-wrote an editorial published in the journal Student BMJ.
STD Risk Rising Among Seniors
According the CDC, close to 2,550 cases of syphilis were reported among adults between the ages of 45 and 65 in 2010 -- up from around 900 cases in 2000.
And the number of reported chlamydia cases in the age group almost tripled, from around 6,700 in 2000 to 19,600 a decade later.
In its 2010 report "Sex, Romance, and Relationships," the AARP surveyed a nationally representative sample of middle-aged and older people about their sex lives.
Among the major findings:
- Close to 3 out of 10 respondents (28%) said they had sex at least once a week, including almost half of those who were single but dating or engaged, and 36% of those who were married.
- Eighty-five percent of men and 61% of women said sex was important to their quality of life.
- Just 12% of single men who were dating and 32% of single women who were dating reported always using condoms during sex.

Newly opened guesthouse in Itaewon, it was clean, cozy and comfortable. Actually, it great value for money and Estelle was just wonderful. She's very friendly and helpful (and all her recommendations were dead on!)
Surprised how peaceful and quiet it was, considering it is only a couple of minutes away from all the action.
I'll definitely stay here again when I come back to Seoul in a few months.
Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a perfect stay in Seoul. Location was perfect. Close from subway and bus stops. Full of nice restaurants, bars, and clubs nearby, but not noisy. Had almost everything that I needed… nice kitchen with a quite good deal of food and beverage, clean toilet, comfortable room, free wifi, and... rooftop! I loved its rooftop. I won't forget the beautiful sunset I've seen there. Thanks Estelle and Ian! You guys were just hilarious. Robin's Nest was a true nest for me.
Great value in a lovely and foreign-friendly neighborhood!
This newly opened R&B is located in the heart of Itaewon where full of nice cafes, restaurants, shops and hot clubs are. It's very convenient to hang out! And the place was very clean and friendly. Thank you Ian and Estelle! It was great to chat with you guys on the rooftop! I would definitely come back!!!
