Shooting stars
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 03/17/11
March madness was in full effect at Hermitage High School March 3. Panthers students and basketball fans, crammed together in the school's noisy gymnasium, rose to their feet with less than a minute remaining in a game against rival Freeman High.
With Hermitage clinging to a one-point lead, a Freeman player gathered a loose rebound and streaked the length of the court for a lay-up to put the Rebels back in front by one with less than 20 seconds remaining.
As the Panthers worked for a final shot, the crowd counted down each remaining second in unison.
"Seven. . . six. . . "
An attempted jump-shot fell unsuccessfully to the ground.
"Five. . . four. . . three. . . "
A Hermitage player rose the rebound, collected the ball and launched it toward the basket.
It fell safely through the net as time expired, giving the home team a thrilling 32-31 victory and prompting momentary delirium in the gymnasium, as students jumped up and down, some hugging each other and dancing in place, others storming the court to celebrate with the team.
That a high school basketball game might evoke such interest, passion and excitement among a school's student body is not remarkable; scenes like this one play themselves out across the nation thousands of times a year.
But that this game – played between two teams of exceptional education students as part of Henrico County's All-Star Basketball League – did so was, perhaps, an eye-opening reminder of the power of athletics, teamwork and inclusion.
'I made a basket'
David Kern admits that it can be difficult to keep the attention of his Deep Run High School students early in the week.
"On Monday and Tuesday," said Kern, who teaches students with disabilities, "it's hard to get anything done."
That's because his students know it's almost game time, and they're anxious to get on the court.
Kern and two fellow exceptional education teachers in Henrico (Freeman's Lourie Sledd and Tucker's Sallie Johnston) spearheaded the creation of the All-Star Basketball League four years ago as a way to provide an encouraging, fun outlet for their students, who suffer from mental or physical disabilities, and disabled students at other county high schools.
Henrico County had previously participated in the similar Medford League with other high schools in the region, but the trio believed their students would benefit from a less competitive league that placed more emphasis on participation than winning.
"We wanted it to be more child focused, where they get the feeling of, 'Wow, I made a basket,'" Sledd recalled. "We talked about it being just the spirit of. . . having fun, being with peers, being part of a group where they could compete in a sport in high school."
Participating Henrico schools include Deep Run, Freeman, Henrico, Hermitage, Highland Springs, Tucker and Varina; Hanover's Lee-Davis and Hanover High also are members of the league. Games are played weekly during the morning, and teachers often bring their classes to the gym to watch and cheer on their classmates.
Most teams wear the same basketball jerseys their school's boys' and girls' teams wear.
"For them to go to those schools where they see their peers playing sports, it's just huge," Sledd said of her students. "That's like the coolest thing ever."
Teams often give each player a nickname, and all players are introduced by name to the crowd before each game. Student and adult volunteers assist during games, serving as referees and helping players in wheelchairs or those with other physical ailments who need assistance getting up and down the court.
At Tucker High – described by Sledd and Kern as the model school for the league – students run the entire program. Home games are almost always packed with students cheering on both teams. Johnston admitted that she can't explain why mainstream students at Tucker embraced the program so quickly, but she's thrilled that they have.
"It brings out the best in all of them," she said.
Johnston enlisted the help of several varsity boys' basketball players four years ago to run drills with the All-Star team, and those players began bringing friends to assist. Now dozens of students are involved, serving as referees, coaches and on-court assistants.
"It's the most heartwarming thing I do in my work," Johnston said of her involvement with the league. "It's neat to see what students will do when you give them the chance."
'An honored group'
While the league has impacted the lives of students who play and those who assist with it, it's also had farther reaching impacts at the participating schools, according to those involved.
It "absolutely" has changed the way mainstream students interact with disabled students at Deep Run, Kern said.
"There's definitely more a sense of belonging," he said, describing how he has watched from afar as the two groups of students exchange hallway smiles and waves that are heartfelt.
"It's kind of cool to walk down the hall and not have a hand in interaction that's happening between our students and the general student population," Kern said. "It's genuine, natural interaction."
At Tucker, team members have experienced similar outcomes.
"It has certainly enlarged their social circles, and it's raised their confidence," Johnston said. "They're an honored group at Tucker."
Disabled students everywhere long to feel like they're part of something larger and that they fit into mainstream society with their peers, said Hermitage exceptional education teacher Karen Heldorfer, who oversees the Panthers' All-Star team.
"The recognition from their peers is what they crave," she said. "They want to feel like they're part of the school. It's something they look forward to, and it brings them a lot of joy. Our school embraces everyone – the stands are always filled with students there to support them."
The league has provided an opportunity for its players to grow on and off the court, as they learn to develop the type of skills they'll use after high school, too.
"A lot of these kids have played together for four years, they've learned teamwork, how to share the ball," Sledd said. "Some of them will get down to the basket and pass the ball, because they want their friend to get a basket. It's great to see how caring they are toward each other."
During play, students in wheelchairs sometimes shoot at a lower basket. It's not unusual for play to slow to allow for one student to attempt several shots in a row. Steals and blocks are not common, and scores are sometimes loosely kept so that the games are close throughout. Players develop self-confidence as they see what they're able to achieve on the court.
"My goal every year is, I want everybody on my team to make one shot," Kern said. "It means the world to them."
Said Sledd, "We've had kids who couldn't cach a ball [initially], and in four years, they are running up and down the court. I've seen them grow and become athletes."
'When do we get to play?'
Following Hermitage's dramatic win earlier this month, players mobbed each other on the court, collapsing into a pile the way any team might in such a situation. Students were giddy with excitement, just as they would have been had their boys' or girls' basketball teams won in similar fashion.
Minutes later, when the celebration had died down and students had scattered toward their next classes, one Hermitage player emerged in the hallway outside the gym, a smile stuck wide on his face.
"We won," he said softly to no one in particular, as he peered back into the gym through the window on a door, seemingly wondering if the fantastic finish had been real. "We won!"
On that day, even for Freeman's players – some of whom were momentarily disappointed afterwards – the league was nothing but a winning experience, Sledd said.
"We've just seen the kids grow, from where they're really shy about it – afraid to get out there – to where they can't wait to get on the court," she said. "We've gotten a new student this week, and every day she's asking, 'When do we get to play basketball?'

Police release photo of hoax bomb
Citizen Staff Reports Public Safety
Henrico Police have released a photo of the clock that resembled a bomb that led to the arrest of a Richmond woman in Shot Pump earlier this week.
The device, which the woman told police she purchased at a yard sale, was visible in her car at the Whole Foods at West Broad Village May 19, and a passerby called police, fearing it was a real bomb. Police responded as they would have had the device been real, they said, because they weren't sure if it was real or not.

Henrico school buses with compliance issue to be fixed this summer
The 176 Henrico school buses that have been purchased since March 2011 will be fixed during the summer, Henrico Schools spokesman Andy Jenks told the Citizen. The bus manufacturers will retrofit the buses at no cost to the school division, he said.
The brake interlock device is required on all automatic transmission buses in Virginia that were purchased after March 2011, which is when the device was added to the state Board of Education's requirements for school buses. As many as 4,000 school buses in the state may be affected, according to the Virginia Department of Education.

Fall Out Boy are back
Bassist Pete Wentz wasn't sure he wanted to get back together with Fall Out Boy.
Wentz says when the band went on break, he had to learn to live his life as an adult, because up to that point his entire life was Fall Out Boy. He had a hard time with that because he says everyone just wanted to keep the band going and he wasn't held accountable.
Wentz says he became a boring suburban dad who goes out for coffee and picks up his son at preschool. Then the band decided to get together. Wentz says he wasn't sure he wanted to be on that ride again, but he agreed.
Wentz says it's not a reunion because they never broke up. Fall Out Boy's new record, "Save Rock N Roll," comes out today.

"I had PE just now," she explained smoothly, "We were running and I tripped."
I nodded as I picked at a pizza slice, because I could understand that danger all too well. I couldn't run to save my life.
"So, where do you live?" I asked carefully. I didn't want to seem pushy or anything but I was curious about her if I was going to be her friend.
"Live?" Willow was looking at the wall, and she frowned and swallowed a piece of lasagne. "Um… out of town. I get dropped off by my dad… he's a commuter."
I knew she wasn't telling the truth from her hesitancy and he way her fingers twitched against her tray. I didn't know if she was lying about her dad or where she lived, or even both, but she was definitely keeping something from me. However, I wasn't stupid enough to push it and pry. Maybe she had a good reason for keeping her privacy.
"How about you?"
I told her the name of my street, and she nodded to show that she knew where it was. I finished the last bite of my pizza and washed it down with some water, capping the bottle and throwing it at the nearby bin. My aim was off as always, and there were sarcastic cheers from the students nearby as it bounced off the rim. I hunched my shoulders in embarrassment, cursing inwardly that I hadn't just gone and put it straight into the bin instead of throwing it.
Willow smiled, but not in a nasty way, collecting both trays and dumping them by the door. I followed as she walked out of the canteen towards her next class.
"Er, Willow?"
She turned round.
"Do you know anybody called Meena? I just wondered…"
"Meena Azura? Oh yes, I know her."
Her wary eyes had a laughter in them which made me think that she knew something that I didn't. I guessed that Azura was Meena's surname as she had never told me herself. It wasn't a very common name.
"Got to go, Ruby. I'll see you around."
Willow waved vaguely and walked away. The bell rang at that moment and I hurried to my History lesson. I expected Meena to be there, but she wasn't.
I sat down at the furthest desk at the back, but she didn't turn up for the rest of that lesson.
The History class seemed to notice me for the first time in almost two days. The teacher, Mrs Hewett, called on me several times for answers during the class which left me stuttering. The other teachers had simply ignored me from the initial introduction. The other pupils spoke to me as well, though when Meena was there it seemed like neither of us were. I felt a little disoriented as I scooped my World War II textbook into my school bag as the class was dismissed by the loud final bell.
I decided to catch the bus into town and find my way to my mother's shop. I remembered being in it when I was little, but doubtless it had been changed a lot since then.
When I stepped off the bus I wandered along the high street. The buildings either side were a few storeys high, although all the shops were limited to the ground and first floors. There were lots of girls just arrived from school wandering about, but I didn't recognise any of them. It took me a quarter of an hour to come across Alessia's Art Gallery on a corner.

Interested in an honest comparison: SureSculpt vs. UltraShape?
Doctor Answers 7
SculpSure vs UltraShape
Sculpsure vs UltraShape
Sculpsure needs only one session that takes 25 minutes, it works. UltraShape, VelaShape etc... takes many sessions, and the results are modest in some, and not noticeable in others.
From a treatment and efficacy point of view, Sculpsure is the clear winner.
All the best,
Dr Davin Lim
Laser, surgical and aesthetic dermatologist

Fiori Institute Of Body Contouring
SculpSure vs. UltraShape vs. CoolSculpt
I have never seen any SureSculpt product that has been released to the market. The most recent technology is SculpSure, a 1060 nm laser that specificially targets fat. The fat is accurately kept at a temperature between 42 - 47 degrees Celcius. The fat is kept at this temperature for 21 minutes to cause approximately 24% permanent fat reduction in the area treated. Up to four areas can be treated in 25 minutes.
Ultrashape uses ultrasound to heat the fat. The results can also be excellent when the area is properly treated. While SculpSure reaches the ideal temperature fat destruction temperature in 4 minutes, Ultrashape usually takes 10-20 minutes to reach the ideal temperature. Once this temperature is reached, the physician or technician must heat the fat for a minimum of 30 minutes to disrupt the fat cells. Typically 3-6 Ultrashape treatment sessions are required. Results from this device are highly operator dependent. There is no limitation by your BMI.
CoolSculpt utilizes vacuum suction to draw in the skin, fat, and muscle to "freeze" the fat cells. It can reduce between 17-21% of the fat in the portion treated. These results are similar to SculpSure but there is pain and numbness with the procedure. It takes one hour to treat each area. Results from this device are somewhat operator dependent -- if the area is not properly suctioned into the applicator, you will not see any fat reduction.
Best of luck,

SculpSure vs UltraShape
SculpSure uses a laser to target and destroy the fat cells. The treatment sessions last 25 minutes and are not painful. One session is usually adequate and runs around $1,500, multiple areas can be treated at the same time and there is no down time.
UtraShape uses ultrasound energy to destroy the fat cells. The treatment also does not hurt, but does require 2-3 sessions 2 weeks apart. The cost is about $3,000 and only one area can be targeted at a time. The treatment sessions last around 1 hour, there is no down time.
For the time and money, SculpSure wins hands down. Also, I will predict that laser fat destruction (SculpSure) will bypass all the other methods combined and become the #1 treatment choice for non surgical body contouring. I believe they will find that there is skin tightening with the laser that the other methods do not offer and the adjustability of the laser will allow any area of the body to be treated adequately.
SculpSure vs UltraShape comparison
Sculpsure is the latest and innovative technology in noninvasive body contouring with the most impressive results portfolio of any other treatment currently on the market. Sculpture is a 25 minute session designed to permanently destroy up to 24% of fat cell per area per treatment. Ultra shape simply recedes the size of the fat cells as opposed to destroying them and will require multiple session to achieve results, if ever.
In my practice I offer SculpSure treatment because it really works as I tried it personally, my patients get amazing results, and many new patients to my practice have tried Ultrashape with absolutely no results and SculpSure delivered exactly what they expected. The bottom line is that you need a consultation with a SculpSure expert provider in your area. Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani
#sculpsure/#Body Contouring/ #Hi Definition Procedures
Thank you for your question.
Sculpsure is a noninvasive 1060nm diode laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future. The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health. The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It is protective since it alternates heating and cooling. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12.
If you notice lumps after (which I've never seen) I would recommend massage. You should also alert your surgeon.
There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.
Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of our patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatment
Since I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results.
I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.
Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.
Take care,
Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Often called the House Calendars, these publications are helpful in tracking legislation from both the Senate and the House of Representatives. They answer questions such as: what happened to a bill, was it signed into law, or not? Were there other bills on the same topic that were considered?
These are documents created for the paper world, so beginning with the 97th Congress, the document was created in sections. Regular users will know which section they want to use. For the rest of us, instead of pages 1-250, each section has it's own numbering: 6-1 through 6-15, for example.
To use these most efficiently, either check the table of contents to see which section you want to use and then search for the first page of that section, or, do a full text search for the bill number.
These were created as part of the ProQuest Congressional Research Digital Collection (containing committee prints and CRS reports).

President Tsai attends expatriate luncheon in San Francisco
At 12:30 p.m. on January 14 local time (4:30 a.m. January 15 Taipei time), President Tsai Ing-wen and her accompanying delegation, who made a transit stop in San Francisco after returning from Central America on a trip codenamed the "Ing-Jie Project," attended a luncheon there with Taiwanese expatriates, more than 800 of whom showed up to give the president an enthusiastic welcome.
In remarks, President Tsai, speaking first in a personal capacity, extended a warm welcome to Marie Royce, a good friend of the president's and of Taiwan. The president expressed confidence that most of the those present probably knew Marie's husband, Chairman Ed Royce of the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs, one of Taiwan's staunchest friends in the US Congress. The president also thanked Marie Royce, Mayor Sam Liccardo of San Jose, and friends from the California State Legislature for their attendance.
President Tsai pointed out that during the just-concluded trip to Central America she developed a strong sense that relations with countries there are very stable. This stability is not due to her visit, but is rather due to the many things that Taiwan's diplomatic corps has done for our friends in the region. Taiwan's agricultural missions, in particular, could well be described as having "the Midas touch," so much have they done to foster prosperity. The president mentioned that our agricultural missions have shared Taiwan's technologies with its diplomatic allies, thus helping local farmers to grow and even export crops. In addition, Taiwan has also assisted with education in remote areas. For such contributions as these, the president expressed high praise for colleagues at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
President Tsai stated that Taiwan has long cultivated relations with its diplomatic allies, providing prompt assistance with the infrastructure and public services that they need for the development of medical services, medicines, and more. El Salvadoran President Salvador Sanchez Ceren, for example, told her that when his country has experienced food grain shortages, Taiwan has always been the first to ship rice. Such actions are highly appreciated by our diplomatic allies.
The president mentioned that the countries of Latin America have emerged from the dark days of the past and are now taking steps to achieve national development. Every president, every person who governs a country, wants what is best for his or her country, and hopes someone will help with national development, and that is precisely the area where a good friend like Taiwan intends to provide assistance. The president also encouraged expatriates throughout the US to go to Latin America and seek out investment opportunities. Even if no investments result from a trip to Latin America, one will have at least enjoyed being a tourist.
During this trip, said the president, her delegation learned about the state of industrial development in Taiwan's diplomatic allies, and discovered that the Central American region has immense potential, especially in the textiles sector. The incoming US president has said he wants to get industries to return to the US, and this comes at a time when Taiwan's diplomatic allies in Latin America are pursuing industrial development. What is more, these diplomatic allies have free trade agreements with the US and enjoy other forms of preferential treatment. That is why Chairman Chan Cheng-tien (詹正田) of the Taiwan Textile Federation, who is traveling with the delegation, has stated that he intends to work out a new strategy with respect to the efforts of Taiwan's textile firms to build up an international presence. "Now is the time," said the president, "for us to consider new deployments and new strategies. And we should start with the textiles industry."
President Tsai stated that the conditions facing Taiwan are in a state of flux, and we must act within this state of flux to help domestic firms to identify opportunities. This is everyone's shared responsibility, said the president, who urged everyone to support the government and work with it to project Taiwan's power.
Noting that the new administration came to power over seven months ago, the president pointed out that some people are unsatisfied, and others feel like its performance has been just "okay." Over the past seven months, she said, the government has been working to come with lasting solutions to Taiwan's problems, including such issues as economic transformation, pension reform, and judicial reform. We still have a lot to do, but the most difficult part of any endeavor is getting started. Easy problems, simple problems, solvable problems... these no doubt would have been well within the ability of previous presidents to resolve, said the president, so what is left over are difficult, long-festering, politically sensitive issues. We know that the people elected us to deal with precisely such issues, so if we don't do it, we'll be letting our voters down.
President Tsai stated that this path is a difficult one. It will make lots of people very uncomfortable, and will force a lot of people to venture outside their comfort zones. In the process of venturing outside their comfort zones, many people will complain because they will be facing an uncertain future. And there will be those who feel that the people have already given the ruling party a majority of seats in the Legislative Yuan, so all they need to do now is pass laws as quickly as possible. These people are therefore frustrated with the government, and say it is incompetent. But if our problems were easy to solve, said the president, the previous president would have solved them, for he too had a legislative majority, but he didn't dare take the necessary action.
What we need to do, said the president, is lay a solid foundation for the next generation. We need to convince our own people that if our own generation will do just a little bit more, then the next generation will enjoy better lives. This is the social persuasion that we must undertake to accomplish. The pension system, for example, absolutely must be reformed. We cannot allow the system to go bankrupt, nor can we allow the premium burden borne by the next generation to exceed their ability to pay. We simply must bite the bullet and get this done, but for those whose interests are affected in the process, we must see to it that they are appropriately looked after. This is something that the government must do. "If we can get this pension reform accomplished, I do believe that Taiwan—the Republic of China—is a nation with a future."
President Tsai also mentioned that the government, in focusing on the "5 plus 2" industries, is seeking to give the economy a shot of forward momentum, thereby revitalizing Taiwan's economy and ensuring that it has the strength needed for structural reform. Leading the "5 plus 2" industries is the Asia Silicon Valley initiative, which has an office right here in San Francisco. The president asked those present at the luncheon to support the initiative. She then closed her remarks by telling her listeners that she has confidence in Taiwan, and she will not disappoint them.

Sermon Illustrations
Darrell W. Robinson, Total Church Life, (Broadman & Holman Publishers, Nashville; 1997), pp. 174-175
A few years ago it was estimated to require one thousand laypersons and six ministers one year to lead one person to Christ. It was also estimated that 95 percent of the Christians today never lead a soul to Christ. This is the reversal of Jesus' strategy of New Testament evangelism. These trends must change if our world is to be reached, and evidences are that they are changing.
It is encouraging to read what George Barna's research has shown. "Interpersonal evangelism is alive and evident. During the past year, more than 60 million adults (one-third of the adult population) claim to have shared their religious beliefs in hope that the recipient might accept Jesus Christ as personal Savior. The people who share their faith with nonbelievers do so often. On average, lay evangelists share with one person every month."
The hope of reaching our world with the gospel is to harness the tremendous resources available to the church. Every church has an army of laypeople with a potential witnessing power to penetrate its community.

Comments about Dean Backwoods 2 Acoustic-Electric 5-String Banjo:
Bought this banjo as the price was right and I really like the look of it. Upon receiving it I noticed that the 5th string tuning peg just kept rotating in place meaning it could never be tuned. I re boxed it up and shipped it back. MF were very nice and professional. They shipped me back a replacement and it was in perfect shape. I am very happy with the banjo and the customer support. The acoustic sound is a tad tinny (lacking bass) but when plugged in this banjo really shines. A solid workhorse and a good deal.

Johnny Torrio Chicago kingpin ran organized crime in the 1920's, when it became a real organized business. Prohibition became law in 1920; Along with gambling, and prostitution with many other vices. There were plenty of organized criminal activities in the roaring 20's, and Johnny Torrio was the head of the most powerful organized crime out fit in Chicago in the first half of the decade, with the hit of his boss Big Jim Colosimo in 1920; a hit ordered by Torrio, and now the boss, with now his mob in place with his second in command Al Capone controlled the south side of Chicago. Johnny Torrio's partner in some of the illegal rackets were gambling, and co- owned the behemoth Sieben brewery with the Irishman Dion O'Banion.
Who led the most colorful of all Chicago mobs of the more swankier north side of Chicago. The northsider's and southsider's often clashed throughout the early half of the decade of the 1920's. When things came to a head with Torrio, and O'Banion in May 1924; When he sold his interest in the Sieben brewery to Torrio for about $500,000 $6.9 million in 2015 dollars. That's a lot of money back then no wonder everyone was killing each other the profits were crazy. Torrio happily paid O'Banion in cold hard 1924 cash. Shortly thereafter the brewery was raided for Volstead Act violations. O'Banion walked, because he had no prohibition arrest or violations, but he knew Torrio did not, and would be arrested, which he was.
Johnny Torrio was buried at Green Lawn Cemetery in Brooklyn,NY
Frankie Yale was summoned from Brooklyn,NY to kill O'Banion just as he was called to kill Colosimo about 4 years earlier, but there was one issue in the way. Mike Merlo a very powerful Chicago bootlegger was a mediator of all gangsters, and the Union Siciliana refused to order a hit on O'Banion. The break came for Torrio in November when Merlo was thermally ill with cancer, and died November 8, 1924; Torrio moved on with his plan to have O'Banion murdered, so on the late afternoon on Novemer 10, 1925 Frankie Yale, murderous hit men duo. John Scalise, and Albert Anselmi shot O'Banion to death, in his flower shot located at 724 North State Street in Chicago, across the street from The Holy Name Cathedral where O'Banion served as an Alter Boy as a child. The surviving O'Banites now head of the gang. Earl "Hymie"Weiss, George"Bugs" Moran, and Vincent"The Schemer"Drucci, when gunning for all responsible for O'Banion's death. This includes all of the other notorious south side gang the Genna brothers. The northsider's wanted all of them dead as well, because. The Genna heads Mike, and Angelo OKed the hit, because Scalise, and Anselmi belonged to them.
Let's fast forward to January 24, 1925 winter cold Chicago afternoon. It was cold that day in the mid 20's, Johnny Torrio,and his wife Anna were returning from a trip shopping in downtown Chicago. When there driver spotted a car following them. It was you guesses it. Weiss, Drucci, and Moran, behind the wheel one of the Gusenberg brothers. They were out to get Torrio no matter what, he must pay form O'Banion. He was responsible for there leaders gruesome murder about 2 months earlier. They had shot guns with buckshot, and pistols ready for a major hit. They wanted to make up for the miss of Capone who was ambushed only 12 days earlier. January 1925 kicked off an all out gang war in Chicago.
Johnny Torrio had a legitimate bail bond operation in the 1930's co owned by New York Mob boss Dutch Schultz
I guess Torrio had a naive out look on life as a gangster, in very violent times. Thinking the killing O'Banion was just business, and thinking no one would come call, and try to take him out. He was very wrong. Johnny Torrio, and his wife Anna just arrive at there home at 7011-13 South Clyde Avenue in Chicago from a Michigan ave shopping spree. A hail of gun shots blew out windows of there chauffeur driven car, and riddled it with buck shot, from the hands of the murder team, shattering glass. Torrio's wife Anna made it to the safety of there home unhurt. Torrio was not so lucky he was struck by gun fire several times, in the jaw, lungs, groin, legs, and abdomen, and then beat with a billy club, by Moran.
Police gongs can be heard whaling in the icy cold distance of Chicago, and getting closer. The murder team only has seconds to make sure Torrio is dead. The police gongs were just around the corner, Gusenberg was honking, and yelling lets go. It's a bit disputed of who was the mobster that tried to administer the last shot, the coup de grâce if you will to Torrio's skull, and lucky for Torrio, Weiss was out of ammo. Some say, or most it was Moran trying to make that final shot, other say it was Weiss, because of his hatred of the southsider's. Can you just imagine that cold Thursday afternoon, Anna Torrio probably watching from the window of there home as his husband being assaulted in front of there home. Watching the effects of being a mob boss, and the hazards of the job.
Johnny Torrio died of natural causes in 1957 at 75
It's a medical miracle that Torrio survived his wounds with the state of medicine of the day, you have to factor in his age not that he was an old man only in his early 40's, but a senior citizen by mob standards. Torrio took some major hits to his body, while recovering from his wounds Torrio would observe the gangland code of omertà, of complete silence. To add insult to injury Torrio had to spend sometime in jail following his hospital release about a year for a probation violation, with his shooting, and the on going attacks, on the southsider's, and the complete war that was taking place. Johnny "the fox" Torrio said he had enough, and was throwing in the towel, quitting the racket's of organized crime. His near death experience shaken the veteran gangster very badly, and at the very young age of 26 a kid if you will all operations went to his second in command Al Capone. Capone would now run, and control an empire worth 100's of millions of dollars a year It was like a winning lottery ticket. Johnny Torrio would go back home to Italy for awhile before returning in the late 20's. Al Capone would eventually win the war with the northsider's ending with the St. Valentines Day massacre on February 14, 1929
As Capone took the reins of Chicago, and all out war began in the city from January 1925 till the end of the decade. The heads of all other gang leaders falling at the bloody hands of Capone men, the Chicago police, or rival gangs. Hymie Weiss killed by Capone men in October 1926, Angelo Genna brutally murdered, by northsider's, in the spring of 1925, as his brother Mike a month later, and the carnage continued. We all know Capone went to prison for an 11 year stretch for tax evasion in the early 30's, and Chicago crime was never the same, with the more organized out fit beginning, and prohibition ending in 1933
Johnny Torrio ordered the death of his boss Big Jim Colosimo in 1920

Katie, meet Ivory
Ivory slowed down his pace as he neared the University. It was huge and imposing as all human structures seemed to him. He was still fascinated by the creatures. Nothing the elders ever said or ever did had made him any less curious about them.
Shaking his pure white mane Ivory stopped and scented the air. The place just about reeked of all sorts of powers. There were strange fuzzy things and odd lumbering monsters meandering about.
Well it'd probably called Monster University for a reason right? Ivory sniffed again and continued forward.
He pranced about a bit, debating on what form to use when he spotted a human girl who looked as lost as he sometimes felt.
Hello, he sniffed at her slightly,You seem, Ivory cocked his head slightly and turned it to look at her with one of his bright blue eyes, normal...

I'm into books, video games, obnoxious Youtubers and most things nerdy. Aromantic, which means I don't experience romantic attraction and have no desire to be in a relationship. So, yeah, to put it bluntly I'm just on here to find people who wanna fuck. Casual hookups are the best~! I don't have a car and can't host, but if you're in the Biddeford/Saco/OOB area, I can come to you and we can have some fun. Please don't bother messaging me if you're farther away than that, though, it's just frustrating- I'm only looking for some IRL hookups.
Note: don't bother Liking me, I'm not paying for A-List so it doesn't do anything for me. If you like me, just send me a message!
Want to know more about me? Message me here, or send me an IM- I use Skype (noisegrenade) and Discord (Cassitastrophe#8405). If I'm home then I'm online, so if you want to talk to me, go right ahead.
Movies: Not a big movie watcher- my attention span isn't the greatest- but there's a few I'm particularly fond of. Fight Club, Twelve Angry Men, nearly anything by Tarantino, and (a more recent addition to the list) Zootopia. Fuck, that movie is super cute.
Shows: I don't watch a whole lot of TV. These days it's mostly British panel shows off of Youtube- QI, Would I Lie To You, etc.- and whatever I come across on Netflix.
Music: Rather than give you an annoyingly long list of the bands I like, suffice it to say there's next to nothing I won't listen to at least a little of.
Food: My taste in food is pretty boring, actually. There's not much that I won't eat- seafood is the biggest offender- but I subsist mainly on yogurt, pizza, Arizona tea, and cobbled-together meals thrown in the slow cooker. I'm a pretty decent cook.

Washington, Feb 20 (ANI): Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center believe tiny molecules in blood may tell a big story about cardiovascular disease risk.
The study analyzed metabolites, the molecular debris left over after the body breaks food down into energy sources and building blocks of cells and tissues.
This the first research to discover specific metabolic profiles associated with coronary artery disease, heart attacks and death among patients who have undergone coronary catheterization.
Svati Shah, a cardiologist in the Duke Heart Center, the Duke Center for Human Genetics and the lead author of the study and William Kraus, professor of medicine at Duke and the senior author of the study, wanted to find if they could isolate and identify particular metabolites associated with coronary artery disease.
They began their study with information in Duke's CATHGEN biorepository, which holds health records and blood samples from nearly 10,000 patients who had come to Duke over the past eight years for catheterization. Collaboration with Christopher B. Newgard, director of Duke's Sarah W. Stedman Center for Nutrition and Metabolism, allowed Shah, Kraus and others to accurately quantify and characterize the metabolites.
Researchers selected 174 patients who had experienced early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) and compared them to 174 controls who had undergone catheterization but who were not found to have CAD. They used a panel of 69 metabolites previously identified as potentially involved in the development of CAD to examine the metabolic profiles in both groups.
Shah said: "We found two sets, or clusters of metabolites that seemed to differentiate between the two groups."
Thereafter, they tested the two sets of metabolites to see if they could make a difference between patients of any age who had CAD and those who did not. Again, the two sets of metabolites were able to discriminate between the two groups.
The researchers also created an "event group" comprising 314 patients from all groups, who suffered a heart attack or death during a follow-up period of almost three years, so as to assess the ability of the metabolites to predict risk of heart attack or death. They compared metabolic profiles between those who suffered a heart attack or death with those who did not. Using multiple analytic and statistical methods, they found two factors that were clearly associated with coronary artery disease and one factor that predicted greater risk of heart attack or death among patients with coronary artery disease.
Shah said: "When we added these biomarkers to traditional clinical risk models, we found that they increased the accuracy of projected risk."Although previous studies have suggested that certain metabolites are associated with the presence and severity of CAD, researchers have not been able to identify most of the individual molecules within those profiles, "which in the end meant that these studies were not that clinically useful," said Shah.
Kraus said: "Here, we specifically selected clusters of metabolites that we know are involved in multiple pathways of lipid, protein and glucose metabolism - pathways that are often disrupted in CAD -- and we showed that they are indeed associated with CAD and subsequent risk of cardiac events.
"These metabolic profiles may be a way from routine clinical use, but we feel they are a good first step in that direction."
The study has appeared online in the April issue of the journal Circulation Genetics. (ANI)

Metals are vital building blocks for MEMS. Pure metals and metal alloys are employed in microsystem design to achieve a wide array of functionality. Common examples include electrical conductors, mechanical structures, magnetic elements, thermal conductors, optical reflectors, and more. In this chapter, additive processes for metals are discussed in the context of their application in MEMS. Particular attention is paid to MEMS-centric processing technologies, where thick metal layers are often required. Basic guidelines are given for material selection, and fabrication recipes are provided as a starting point for process development.

Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP)
Definition - What does Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP) mean?
Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python is a solution stack that is most commonly referred to using its acronym "LAMP." It is an open source development platform for creating and managing Web applications.
Linux serves as the backend operating system (OS). Apache is the Web server, MySQL is the database, and one of PHP, Perl, Python is the scripting language. PHP is the most popular of the three scripting languages.
Techopedia explains Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP)
The LAMP development platform is an extremely popular solution stack. Perhaps the most significant reason for its widespread use is that all components of the stack are open source and thus free to use.
In addition, the popularity creates a strong developer community that serves as a resource to assist new developers. Learning the basics of LAMP is enough to get a developer to the point where they can launch a fairly complex website. That is, enterprise level sites would involve a number of other technologies, but despite LAMP being open source, it is more than enough for the vast majority of websites.
The following are LAMP variants with replaced OSs:
- WAMP, using Windows.
- MAMP, using Macintosh.
- SAMP, using a Solaris-based platform.

The Fire's SuperLiga performance can only be viewed as disappointing. Last season's runner-up in the tournament, Chicago was eliminated after the first two games.
Still, even though Tuesday's 1-0 win against Pumas was meaningless in the tournament table, it was nice for the Fire to taste victory for the first time in July.
"It didn't mean anything in terms of making it to the next round, we took a step in the right direction," said Fire assistant coach Mike Matkovich. "We'll build on that going forward."
It was a combination of the Fire's All Stars that got them on the board in the 35th minute, when Marco Pappa's corner kick found the head of defender Wilman Conde, who was wide open at the back post.
The goal was one of only two Fire shots on goal, though, and they sat back on defense for most of the second half.
"We won, but second half we just sat back and defended," forward Collins John said."As a striker you get a little frustrated."
Something the Fire did get out of the tournament was experience for a fewyoung players, something head coach Carlos de los Cobos said was deficient in the 5-1 opening loss to Morelia.
Rookies Sean Johnson and Corben Bone both started for the second straight game and both impressed. Bone was one of the Fire's lone facilitators, while Johnson looked confident on crosses and made one diving save on Oscar Rojas's shot from 20 yards.
While Bone seems unlikely to keep his starting spot with Mexican midfielder Nery Castillo set to arrive in the coming weeks, Johnson has made his case to start in front of fellow youngster Andrew Dykstra.
"It's a competition. Any time you play well, you're going to be considered," Matkovich said. "He put two good games in a row, so we'll see. Carlos has some tough decisions to make. All of us as a coaching staff have some tough decisions to make."
For Pumas, the trip to the United States proved unsuccessful, aside from the chance to play in front of scores of fans that made up a majority of the 9,429 in attendence.
The Mexican side finished in last place in the group, with their only point coming against Morelia.
"I don't think it was a good match, we lacked intensity," Pumas head coach Guillermo Vazquez said. "(The Fire) were very disciplined, they never lost their order."
The main positive the Fire can take out of Tuesday's match, though – they finally ended their four-game losing streak.
Momentum is huge for the Fire as they prepare play the league-leading Galaxy following the All-Star break.
"You need confidence going in to playing the Galaxy," John said. "I'm glad we got three points, I'm very positive, very happy, because when you lose five games in a row and you go to LA, there's going to be problems."
Fire notes
John played his first two games since June 9 in the final two games of the SuperLiga.
Despite not being happy about his lack of scoring chances and the Fire's lack of offense, John is happy with his form.
"I know time flies, but it was 7 weeks ago since I last played, so my form's pretty impressive right now," he said. "I'm just a little bit frustrated, I'm not getting any goals right now. I guess I just have to live with it, that's the way we play right now."
It's that style that has led to a lack of a goal from a forward since May 27, when Brian McBride scored against Dallas.
The Fire hope to have a press conference to introduce Nery Castillo on Friday, after he works out his visa issues with the American consolate in Greece.
The Fire had only four players on their bench and used every field player available.
Johnson commented on the possibility of becoming the Fire's starting goalkeeper after the game.
"It's always an option," Johnson said. "I'm just going to to my best to push Andrew if he's number one. If I'm number one I'm sure he'll do the same. At the end of the day, it's the coach's decision so all I can do is train hard, and when I get the opportunity to play, play well."
As a loyal SBI reader in Beijing, China, I must say I appreciate the late night posting 😉
As for Superliga, the competition's sole reason for existence is to make money and yet they draw 9k in Chicago, the majority of which are Pumas fans? Yikes.
If MLS was hoping to gain credibility by getting results against Mexican sides they would have put Columbus in it.
Columbus was not an option for SuperLiga, as they are participating in the CONCACAF Champions League (along with RSL, Seattle, and LA). SuperLiga is reserved for the four next-best teams available.
And the bigger reason for SuperLiga's existence is not so much to make money (although they certainly don't want to lose money), but to award money. The winning team earns a $1 million pot.
As a loyal reader currently working in India, I second the appreciation for the late night posting.
And it's ABOUT TIME the Fire got a W! It's interesting, though, that Collins John complained about the defensive strategy of the supposedly offensive-minded de los Cobos. With a skeleton crew, I guess you have to make some adjustments.
Business ventures do not exist to award money.
If MLS loses money off the investment, they expect to recoup the losses in longer term growth (thus, money).
Yes. I was thinking from the point of view of the players involved. When you're getting paid an MLS salary (unless you're a DP), the chance at splitting a $1 million pot becomes more important than any future league-wide growth.
Josh D
With only 4 guys on the bench, I'm willing to toss my name out there to suit up on game days for free.
MLS needs a heartwarming story/future Disney movie.
Der Sting
"Despite not being happy about his lack of scoring chances and the Fire's lack of offense, John is happy with his form."
If being a lumbering oaf whose clumsy touch and neandertal challenges lead to loss of possession and inability to provide service his fellow players are on form then yes I agree with his statement.
perhaps you missed the fact that the Revs, another team struggling in MLS regular season, won all 3 matches and topped the group??
Really, the Fire only had 1 poor match. We had SEVERAL opportunities against the Revs, and managed a win again Pumas.
IF MLS wanted results in superliga, they'd throw in LA, RSL, CLB and even NJRB as they are the top performing teams right now. However, most of which are participating in CCL and playing in Superliga would hurt their play in that competition
IF MLS wants Superliga to gain recognition, they should look to turn it to more of a Europa type to the CCL. Invite clubs from other leagues, market it to sponsors, and such. Superliga is treated as a preseason tourny by the mexican teams (which it is).
Sean John is the man. He's young and raw, but I mean, so is Dykstra, so why not stick with the guy who has the higher ceiling?
How bout dem Revs
"While Bone seems unlikely to keep his starting spot with Mexican midfielder Nery Castillo set to arrive in the coming weeks, Johnson has made his case to start in front of fellow youngster Andrew Dykstra."
De los Cobos has already said he will play Castillo at forward, so while I agree that Bone probably won't be starting, it has nothing to do with Castillo's arrival.
But, by all means, let the Sean Johnson era start. Nothing I've seen from Dykstra inspires any sort of confidence.
Dr. Iron Fists
In my rec league when a GK makes a slip up on the ball we call it "having a case of the Dykstra's". Johnson looks much more confident and technically sound between the pipes.
I didn't know that the Superliga belonged to the MLS, news to me.
The Fire's losing streak is alive and well until they get a win that actually means something. The Superliga is an unwelcome distraction from a season that's quickly heading south in Chicago. Management would be best served trying to win league games instead of organizing stupid friendly tournaments (superliga, sister cities cup, etc) that the fans don't care about.
