911 operators train to be liaison between public and police
By Kim Gritter
NEW ORLEANS — They are the link between the caller and essential personnel in the event of an emergency. And the St. Bernard Sheriff's Office has worked hard to make sure its 911 operators are well-trained to handle any situation.
The Sheriff's Office is concentrating on advanced training programs for its communications division, which operates the 911 emergency system from its headquarters on West St. Bernard Highway in Arabi.

Canada's largest metropolis has long been crowned Toronto the Good, lauded for all that is safe, polite—and unromantic: clean streets, polite denizens, user-friendly infrastructure. The city has long ago outgrown its stubborn Puritanical reputation. Toronto has matured into a (still polite) multicultural patchwork of vibrant neighborhoods and has recently enjoyed a billion-dollar cultural renaissance. Mapped with a green world of hidden ravines, Toronto is glutted with an exhaustive range of ethnic restaurants, arts festivals, and shopping drags. Toronto's virtues are now also its pleasures.

Hello there everybody, greencadillacmatt here today with a screaming deal on a gorgeous 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. (Please note that I am selling this car for a friend of the family, and I will post their contact information at the end of this ad.)
I have personally driven and inspected this car, and it is nothing short of exceptional. The paint is still deep and shines up nice, all of the trim is there, and the vinyl top has no splits, tears, or loose ends. The bad news is that rear bumper does have some rust, but it is not rusted through. There are also one or two very minor dings, but what car doesn't have them after 20 years? The good news is that there is no other rust on the car. Even the bottoms of the doors look new.
The underside looks amost as good as the body, with new rear air shocks (meaning functional Level-Ride!) and a new dual exhaust system that is nice and quiet. There are no fluid leaks of any kind. Also, the white wall tires are only 5,000 miles old.
Under the hood resides a very healthy LT1 V8. The engine was tuned up about 6 months ago, and it is as smooth as silk. The transmission shifts so buttery soft that you almost can't feel them. And the power is IMMEDIATE. It's like a strong hand pushing you right along.
With as good as the body and powertrain are, the interior is where this car really shines. The dashboard, door panels, and armrests are crack and split free. The heated leather seats show almost no wear, and are also crack and split free. There are two loose panels (one covering the passenger rear vanity mirror, it needs re-glued, and the other is the passenger a-pillar trim which also needs re-glued.)
All of the electronics in and on the car work aside from the radio. (That said, even the power antenna works and the time still displays on the radio.) The digital dashboard still lights up nicely, all lights and switches work, and the 3-way power lumbar is phenomenal.
At the end of the day, this is an extremely nice Fleetwood Brougham. Even nicer when you factor in that it only has 83,000 miles and has only had 2 owners. You will not be dissapointed with this one.
It is set up for a quick sale at $3,800.00 or best offer. It is now a second car and the owners would like to see someone else enjoy it instead of it just sitting in their garage. Please call or email David or Laurie Heim at 1-269-350-1046 / firstname.lastname@example.com respectively.
Thanks guys!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The 11th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish used a big second-half comeback to topple the third-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels 11-10 at Fetzer Field on Saturday.
While North Carolina attackman Jimmy Bitter tallied a hat trick, Notre Dame's Matt Kavanagh matched him with one of his own while rallying his team from a five-goal deficit to hand the Tar Heels their first loss of the season.
The matchup was the 12th overall between the two teams, but the first as Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) opponents. It mimicked their overtime tilt last season, another one-goal thriller that the Irish won 10-9.
With R.G. Keenan still not playing for North Carolina because of a lower body injury suffered in practice a few weeks ago, the Kelly brothers, Frankie and Stephen, had to contend with Notre Dame's Liam O'Connor at face-off X.
The Fighting Irish draw man dominated the Tar Heels' tandem, winning 16 of 23 face-offs he took and put the ball in Notre Dame's crosses throughout the game.
Notre Dame goalie tandem Though winning possession, it took Notre Dame 30 minutes to penetrate through a tight Tar Heels defense led by goalkeeper Kieran Burke, who finished with 10 saves for North Carolina while suffering his first loss of the season.
While North Carolina (3-1) led 7-3 at halftime powered on the effort of six different scorers, Notre Dame (2-1) put two keepers in front of them with starter Connor Kelly platooning with Shane Doss.
With Kelly unable to make any stops during the first quarter and with his team trailing 5-1, Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan opted to replace him with Doss.
The move paid off as the backup keeper made four saves during the second quarter, while the Fighting Irish managed to stay even with the Tar Heels on the scoreboard during that 15-minute segment.
"The message was don't panic," Corrigan said of what he told his team in the locker room. "I think in the emotion of a game you get caught up sometimes and watch the scoreboard. If you watch that game, I don't think the quality of play was very different between the two teams in the first half, outside of the goal. They got some saves and we didn't. I thought we were getting what we wanted offensively. We just weren't putting them away and taking advantage. Defensively, we were giving up some of the things we wanted to give up, but we weren't getting saves. So our message was don't panic, just stay the course. We're going to be OK."
An Irish push Bitter was joined by Pat Foster (2G), Chad Tutton (1G, 1A), Jake Matthai (1G), Shane Simpson (1G), Luke Goldstock (1G) and Joey Sankey (1G) with scoring for Carolina.
"We had a really strong start," Bitter said. "We were all excited for the game because last year we had a tough loss. We were up 7-3 at halftime, and we knew they were going to come in the third quarter playing really hard and come for us. We knew they were going to make a surge. Our plan was to keep playing how we were playing, but we kind of lost our energy in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter. We knew exactly what they were going to do and expecting them to play (that way). We just didn't execute towards the end of the game and second half of the game."
Joey Sankey scored his lone goal of the game at 13:49 of the third quarter to put the Tar Heels in firm control and leading 8-3. For the next 15 minutes and into the early part of the final quarter of play, Kavanagh along with Tyler Brenneman (1G), Sergio Perkovic (2G) and Jim Marlatt (1G) put together a 5-0 run that tied the game 8-8 with 14:31 to play.
Finishing the game scoring on four of seven EMOs, the Fighting Irish maximized upon a two-man up situation that showed North Carolina's first lapse in defensive and mental focus late in the third quarter.
Mistakes for UNC "We had our opportunities, but I thought it started to slip at the end of the third quarter," North Carolina coach Joe Breschi said.
"We had multiple penalties called. We had four penalties called in the third quarter which changed the complexity of the game. Anytime you give up four man-down goals, it's disappointing and changes the game."
While Bitter gave the Tar Heels the lead back at 13:09, Notre Dame's ball possession off the draw and offensive surge continued with goals from Conor Doyle and Jack Near that gave the Irish a two-goal cushion with which to rest on until the end of the game.
Bitter added his final goal of the game with 3:51 to play, but it wasn't enough. Notre Dame had swung the entire momentum of the game in its favor and left the North Carolina defense too tired to effectively clear the ball on three separate occasions as both teams battled with a one-goal margin between them until the final horn.
"I think we were 15 of 20 clearing the ball, which is not really acceptable at North Carolina," Tar Heels midfielder Ryan Creighton said. "That wasn't really how we were planning on starting the ACC (play), but we'll learn from it. We have stuff to build on. We'll take it from here and get better heading into (our game against) Princeton…I'm fully confident we'll bounce back next week."
Check out the full box score here.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Joining the nation's strongest men's lacrosse league was going to lead to some memorable games and No. 11 Notre Dame made its first contest in the Atlantic Coast Conference unforgettable with a thrilling 11-10 come-from-behind victory at No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday afternoon at Fetzer Field.
Notre Dame (2-1, 1-0) trailed 8-3 early in the third quarter, yet responded with five unanswered goals to tie the game up less than 30 seconds into the final period. The rally began on a goal from Matt Kavanagh, who had three goals and two assists in the contest. Midfielder Tyler Brenneman sliced the deficit to three (8-5) with his first goal of the season.
North Carolina (3-1, 0-1) was whistled for three non-releasable penalties at the 1:45 mark of the third quarter and the Fighting Irish played two-men up for one minute and took advantage with goals from midfielders Sergio Perkovic and Jim Marlatt. Kavanagh completed his hat trick to make it 8-8. The sophomore attackman has nine goals and eight assists this season.
Following a Tar Heel score from Jimmy Bitter, Notre Dame attackman Conor Doyle drilled a low-angle shot to make it 9-9 with 11:04 remaining. The Fighting Irish grabbed their first lead of the day (10-9) with just over six minutes left in regulation on a Jack Near goal. Another man-up score from the freshman Perkovic pushed the Irish lead to two with 4:14 left. Bitter put North Carolina back to within one 23 seconds later, but that was the final goal of the game.
"The message at halftime was to stay the course and not panic," Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan said. "I didn't feel that we were playing badly, we just weren't finishing our chances."
The Tar Heels led 4-0 by the 6:06 mark of the first quarter and Notre Dame starting goalie Conor Kelly was replaced by freshman Shane Doss at that time. Doss played the remainder of the game and made 10 saves. Arguably his biggest stop of the day came around the nine-minute mark of the fourth quarter when he negated a point-blank shot from Pat Foster to keep the game tied 9-9.
Midfielder Trevor Brosco put the Irish on the board with 5:30 remaining in the opening period, but the Tar Heels led 5-1 at the end of the quarter. A man-up goal from John Scioscia cut the Tar Heel lead to three (5-2), but consecutive tallies from Foster and Shane Simpson put the hosts up by five. Kavanagh found the back of the net for the first time with just over three minutes left in the first half and the Irish trailed 7-3 at the intermission.
Notre Dame's Liam O'Connor excelled in the faceoff game, winning 16 of his 23 attempts. The Irish also capitalized on most of their man-up opportunities as they went 4-for-7. The Fighting Irish outshot the Tar Heels 39-29 and North Carolina goalie Kieran Burke made 10 saves.
Notre Dame will step away from ACC action to face No. 5 Denver next Saturday in the Pacific Coast Shootout. The game is slated for noon (PT) at LeBard Stadium on the campus of Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Calif.

Access to Prescription Drugs is a Must
Kim Cantor, Lupus Foundation of America's Senior Director of Public Policy and Government Relations, discusses the Foundation's Medicare for Patients RX (MAPRx) Coalition
Candice Erickson, 27, began experiencing lupus symptoms after the birth of her first child. However, she initially attributed her rashes, hair loss and deep bone pain to "those things people go through after having a baby." While pregnant for the second time, her symptoms went into remission, but after giving birth to her second baby, her disease worsened, to the point of being unable to walk.
The Oklahoman mother of two small children and part-time school teacher visited countless doctors for more than six years before she was diagnosed. During lupus flares she would experience joint pain so severe she felt she could sense it in her bones. To complicate matters further, when her husband changed jobs, the insurance at his new company was so expensive that her family wasn't able to sign up for it. And because of her pre-existing health condition, there were no other policies available to her that provided the level of coverage she sought at an affordable price.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Candice and her family now qualify for a Blue Cross Blue Shield policy through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The family's new policy provides better coverage at a price that is realistic for her needs. In addition to her standard lupus treatments, the new coverage also allows her to opt for physical therapy and certain non-traditional therapies that are important to her. "We have a slightly larger copay but there is no cost for prescriptions, which will definitely balance out since my monthly prescriptions are pretty high."
"The Insurance Marketplace is the exact opposite of what I thought it would be. My new insurance has better coverage and the price is cheaper […]. Now I can go back to my doctor who originally diagnosed me and I am able to get the testing done needed to start my treatments that are also covered under our plan. This means so much."
Candice has her good and bad days; sometimes it's good weeks and bad months. During the good or the bad, the Health Insurance Marketplace has helped her family find a better solution, tailored to her specific health care preferences.

Erin Kotecki Vest, blogger and a lupus activist from Los Angeles, discusses why she and her family decided to enroll in Obamacare and how it has benefited her life living with lupus.

Detroit Lions Practicing Without Reggie Bush (Knee)
The Detroit Lions are in full focus of their Week 3 opponent the Washington Redskins. After suffering a 25-21 loss to the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, they're coming into practice a bit hobbled.
Inactive at practice today was running back Reggie Bush (knee), safety Louis Delmas (rest), tackle Jason Fox (groin), receiver Patrick Edwards (ankle), and safety Don Carey (hamstring). Bush hurt his knee after a 26-yard catch and run this past week. After trying to return in the second half, Bush said he lost his burst and was unable to return. He'll deliver a word for the media later today.
On the brighter side, tackle Nick Fairley was back with helmet and pads on. He only participated in defensive linemen drills as a snapper, but being suited and rotating his injured shoulder and arm in a circle earlier is a positive sign.
Head coach Jim Schwartz said yesterday receiver Ryan Broyles was "getting closer" to making his season debut. He too was practicing again during drills with the wide receivers. Last season, Broyles made his debut with the team on Week 3. We could see the same turn out Sunday at Washington.

"Love this car seat. My 3 year old feels like a king in it. Very sturdy and substantial which makes me feel safe. Amazing that I can use this through my childs entire car seat life!"
"My daughter likes having the side protection & seatbelt positioning that the back offers, but it's also very easy to adjust the height of the back and attach/detach the back to make it backless, even while it's sitting in the car."
"The Sureride installs easily, is lightweight and last so long for the price."
Whether you're bringing your baby home for the first time or shuffling your toddler between play dates, you'll get peace of mind knowing your child is safe with the right car seat. Top brands like Evenflo, Safety 1st, and Cosco offer an array of car seats suitable for children of all ages. Learn about the different types of car seats available so you can find the perfect one for you and your baby.
Infant car seats are designed to fit babies aged 0 to 12 months who weigh up to 22 pounds. Featuring a rear-facing design, infant car seats absorb impact when a sudden stop or crash happens to protect your baby's weak neck and back muscles. They snap securely into a base installed in your car and usually include a handle for easy carrying. Infant car seats can also be taken in and out of the car smoothly so you can move your sleeping angel without waking them up.
Don't want to disturb your bundle of joy when transporting them from car seat to stroller? Opt for a travel system. Travel systems include an infant car seat, base, and coordinating stroller. The car seat fits into the stroller so you can take your child in and out of the vehicle seamlessly. The stroller component also grows with your child so you can continue to use it in their toddler years. If you already have a car seat and stroller from different brands, a car seat adapter may let you combine both so you can create a flawless transportation system.
Ideal if you're on a budget, a convertible car seat keeps your kid safe on the road beyond the infant years. Suitable for all stages of childhood, convertible car seats are available in 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 designs. A 2-in-1 car seat initially functions as a rear-facing infant seat and can later be used as a forward-facing toddler seat. A 3-in-1 car seat also transforms into a booster seat to secure children who have outgrown the forward-facing seat. The versatile design of a convertible car seat saves you money by accommodating your growing child, but features a larger and heavier design than other types.
Transition your kid to a booster seat when they're over 40 pounds. A booster seat raises your child's body up so they can securely fasten their seat belt. Designed for little ones aged 4 and up, booster seats can keep your child safe until they're at least 8 years old.
A variety of car seat features help deliver a smooth travel experience for you and your baby. A 5-point safety harness keeps your child securely in place with 2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a strap between the legs. Look for straps that are easily adjustable if you want to get your child in and out of the car in a flash. Some models have one-hand belt adjustments with fast release buckles to save you time. For quick installation, find a car seat that's compatible with the LATCH system. LATCH lets you attach your car seat directly to your vehicle without the need for seatbelts to secure it.

Nypro: We're not just about injection molding anymore
One of the biggest M&A stories in plastics last year was Jabil Circuit's acquisition of Nypro, bringing about many changes, but not to the venerable name.
Keeping the Nypro brand and name alive was "a big and important decision," according to Brian Highley, VP/GM Medical Device and Consumer Health Segment at Nypro Healthcare. Highley was part of Avail Medical Inc. when that company was acquired by Flextronics in 2008, and its branding was subsequently subsumed into the contract manufacturing giant.
During its acquisition due diligence, Jabil consulted with Highley on that Avail/Flextronics deal and what could have gone differently, and maintaining the well-regarded Nypro Healthcare brand was a key point.
Highley said that the integration of Nypro into Jabil is about 85-90 percent complete, with some big issues ongoing, including full integration into Jabil's ERP system, for instance. From a strategic standpoint, Highley said despite its "world's largest injection molder" rep, Nypro understands that going forward, the role it plays in the supply chain and the services it provides will be evolving.
"We're moving more towards a finished device model," Highley said. "Our history is in injection molding, but we have more value to add." Highley said the biggest trend his company sees in the medical market is cost consciousness, due in part to the medical device excise tax put in place to partially fund the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) as well as the highly competitive nature of the space, making secondary services more and more important.
"We have a pretty good solution for these companies," Highley said. "We're not just injection molding anymore."

Viloria vs. Romero III Results Brian Viloria finally got the edge over Omar Nino Romero, defeating him via 9th round TKO to retain his WBO flyweight title. Romero's corner halted the action in the 9th stanza as Viloria pummeled him along the ropes. With the win, Viloria was able to erase their previous two encounters, in which Romero first defeated him via Unanimous Decision in 2006 at junior flyweight, and then a rematch between the two men ended in Majority Draw before being ruled a no contest after Romero failed a drug test. Viloria's win also continues his career resurgence. Written off by many people, he's now the de facto number 1 guy in the world at flyweight.By moving past his old rival, he can now focus on bigger fights in the near future. His confidence must now be at all-time high after a huge upset win against Giovani Segura, and this victory against Romero. Viloria now improves to 31 (18) - 3, while Romero falls to 31 (13) - 5 - 2. In earlier action, Rodel Mayol defe...

Nevada marriage ban case may have potential to strike down bans US-wide
A Nevada political observer believes a Supreme Court challenge to the state's ban on same-sex marriage has the potential to spread marriage equality to all 50 states
Slash/Politics blogger and Las Vegas Review-Journal political watcher Steve Sebelius believes a Supreme Court challenge to Nevada's ban on gay couples marrying could legalize same-sex marriage across the United States.
Writing in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sebelius argued that the Sevcik v. Sandoval challenge to the state's voter passed ban on same-sex marriage mirrors the challenge to California's Prop 8 because it was also passed by the voters.
In that case the Supreme Court decided to send the case back to the state rather than ruling on it – thus allowing California to begin marrying same-sex couples as had been ruled by a lower court.
However the ban on same-sex marriage in Nevada is different as the state's Republican Governor Brian Sandoval is defending the ban, whereas the state of California refused to defend its law – meaning that if the case comes before the Supreme Court it will have to rule on it – potentially legalizing same-sex marriage throughout the United States.
'There is one significant difference which may become a factor as Sevcik v. Sandoval is argued,' Sebelius wrote.
'In California, thanks to a state Supreme Court ruling, gay couples briefly had access to legal marriage. In Nevada, they've never had that right. But the plaintiffs in Sevcik v. Sandoval argue that Nevada's domestic partnership law grants them marriage rights in everything but name, and thus the two cases are similar.'
US District Judge Robert C Jones upheld Nevada's ban on same-sex marriage but the plaintiffs have appealed to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals – the same court that initially struck down Prop 8.
If the 9th US Court of Appeals rules against Nevada's ban and Governor Sandoval appeals to the Supreme Court, Sebelius believes it is likely that a majority of justices will rule against Nevada in line with the recent rulings by the court in favor of repealing Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act.
The court could either rule that Nevada's ban was unconstitutional or rule that all state bans are unconstitutional.
'For a state that gained fame (and tourism) as a haven for quickie divorce, to be the home of the case that finally extends marriage equality nationwide might be almost fitting,' Sebelius wrote.
In another move that could be influential on the court, the Nevada state Senate passed a resolution in favor of marriage equality in April.

General director of the Political information Centre Aleksey Muhin says the speech of Vladimir Putin at the "United Russia" congress reveals the model of his strategy in the election campaign.
Putin is intending to use Stalin's image as an effective manager, RBC daily reports.
Political scientists think that this step will let Putin preserve the image of a strong leader as well as to draw the attention of the people who want to vote for communists.
Did you know that Putin feels Stalin wasn't that bad?
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the world against trying to make Russia feel guilty about the Great Purge, one of Soviet history's most painful episodes.
On the orders of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats, military officers, and party officials were imprisoned and executed in 1936-37 throughout the Soviet Union.
"Other countries have done even more terrible things," Putin said in televised remarks. "At least we've never used nuclear weapons against civilians, never poured chemicals on thousands of kilometers, or dropped seven times as many bombs as were used in [World War II] on a small country, as it was done in Vietnam, for instance."

Feb. 3 Forbes magazine says Woods remains the top athlete brand, with an estimated value of $82-million (U.S.)
Feb 17 A statement on www.tigerwoods.com reveals Woods will speak publicly for the first time in nearly three months on Feb. 19 at a golf course in Florida.
"Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future, and he plans to apologize for his behavior. While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him. He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what he's going to discuss."
Feb. 19 Woods breaks his silence at a carefully orchestrated appearance at a Florida golf club. "I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did was not acceptable," he told a room of family members, supporters and journalists. Woods said he and wife have started to deal with his infidelities. She is not present at the event. The golfer also addressed rumours he had crashed his SUV because his wife attacked him with a golf club. "For all that I have done, I am so sorry. I have a lot to atone for, but there's one issue I really want to discuss. Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It hurts me that people would fabricate a story like that."
"I have let you down and I have let down my fans ... I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated."
Feb. 24 A top Nike official says the company will continue to support Woods.
Feb. 25 Gatorade confirms it is ending its contract with Woods. PepsiCo Inc. first announced it was partnering with Woods in October, 2007, to develop a branded drink called Gatorade Tiger.
March 3 Steve Williams, Woods's caddy, tells a New Zealand television show that he knew nothing about the golfer's extramarital affairs and was angry with him over his behaviour.
March 16 Woods issues a statement announcing he will make his golf comeback at the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in April. "After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta," he says.
March 21 In his first television interviews since the scandal broke, Woods tells the Golf Channel he tried to stop having extramarial affairs but couldn't. He tells ESPN he is "a little nervous" about the reception from fans at Augusta.
April 5 Woods takes questions from reporters for the first time since his life turned upside down in November. He acknowledges he "acted terribly" and says his fall from grace has shown him what really matters. "Going forward, I need to be a better man than I was before."

"Discussions regarding the sale of the team, in general, are ongoing," D.C. United spokesperson Doug Hicks told the Washington Times, "but it's not likely anything will happen for some time."
Hendricks, the founder and chairman of Discovery Communications, launched WUSA, which began operation in 2001 but folded in 2003. Davis, who played briefly in the NBA, is the managing partner of Blue Devil Ventures, which specializes in urban redevelopment projects. The group has been assembled by D.C. United President Kevin Payne, who has stressed that the club's new owners must have local ties, minority representation and real estate development experience. A previous deal United owner AEG had with another group fell apart.
Congress is currently studying a proposal to transfer land in the District of Columbia that would be used for the construction of a soccer stadium. D.C. United has played at RFK Stadium since its launch in 1996.

Pianist kicks off Multicultural Week at IFHS
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - On Martin Luther King Jr. Day Idaho Falls High School kicked off its 21st annual Multicultural Week.
The morning assembly started off with speakers encouraging students to perform acts of kindness, then they were treated to a special performance. Alpin Hong is an accomplished professional pianist. He is Julliard-trained and has performed at Carnegie Hall. On Monday he performed at the Civic Auditorium.
"One thing that music does more than anything is that it is a common language. It goes beyond boundaries and barriers, and race and creed, and even religion," said Hong.
In between playing familiar and beloved songs, Hong kept the students laughing and touched on how even the smallest changes can make a big difference.
"He was so amazing. It was really wonderful how he didn't even need music sheets," said Brenda Hernandez, senior at IFHS.
Hong has visited Idaho Falls before and Multicultural Week organizer Russ Rapp thought Hong would be the perfect keynote speaker for the week.
"I think it's really important that we recognize that theme that we are more alike than we are different. So we learn about how we are different and by doing that, we learn how much we really are alike," said Rapp.
"Multiculturalism is about transcending those barriers we often erect between ourselves and all those people who are not so different from us," said Hong.
Before Hong left he had one more special way to bring everyone together: he played along with the high school's a capella group and orchestra.
"It was crazy, it was amazing to see how well we all came together and all took our love for music to a different level," said Andy Nelson, a sophomore orchestra member.
Nelson is also an award-winning fiddler and he will perform at lunch this week. There will also be acrobats and other musical groups from the school performing.

Feeding faeces to people with chronic infection can cure them, but who wants to eat poo? A synthetic alternative could provide a more palatable option.
Hospital superbug Clostridium difficile can wreak havoc in the guts of vulnerable people, especially those who have lost some of their protective gut flora as a result of antibiotic use. Once it takes hold, the bacteria can cause nasty diarrhoea and in some cases is fatal. The usual treatment for the infection, which affects over half a million people in the US each year, involves a strong course of antibiotics. But the infection returns in about 20 per cent of cases, and some people become chronically infected.
One treatment appears to be remarkably successful. It involves ingesting the faeces of healthy individuals – either via a tube to the stomach or colon – to help repopulate their guts with so-called good bacteria. This boosts defences against reinfection and unpleasant as it may sound, works in around 90 per cent of cases.

Carnegie Mellon University Junior Wins Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship
PITTSBURGH—Carnegie Mellon University junior Satyan Pai was recently awarded the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. Pai, who is eligible to receive up to $7,500 through the scholarship, was one of 323 college sophomores and juniors nationwide selected for the honor.
The son of Mukund and Surekha Pai of Solon, Ohio, Pai is majoring in biological sciences with a minor in chemistry. After completing his bachelor's degree, he plans to pursue an advanced degree in molecular biology and ultimately conduct research in a pharmaceutical or academic environment.
At Carnegie Mellon, Pai conducts molecular biology research with Peter Berget, associate professor of biological sciences in the Mellon College of Science. His research involves analyzing a novel method of fluorescently labeling proteins so they can be visualized and monitored inside their cellular environment. In addition, he serves as a member of the Biological Sciences Student Advisory Council, which advises the department on ways to improve undergraduate education and plans events that impact the department and broader community.
Amy Burkert, teaching professor and associate head of the Department of Biological Sciences, nominated Pai for the Goldwater Scholarship. "Satyan is exceptional by every metric one could choose," she said. "He is dedicated to using his love of science to make a difference in peoples' lives, and I feel certain that many will benefit from his work."
This summer, Pai will intern at Merck Pharmaceuticals Research Labs in New Jersey, where he will conduct research pertaining to the treatment of diabetes.
The scholarship program honoring Senator Barry M. Goldwater was designed to foster and encourage outstanding students to pursue careers in the fields of mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering. In its 17-year history, the foundation has awarded 4,885 scholarships worth approximately $48 million.

Bulletproof vest manufacturer accused of failing to disclose material flaws
By Allison Schlesinger
The Associated Press
WEST HOMESTEAD, Pa. - The nation's largest manufacturer of bulletproof vests for police was accused in a lawsuit brought by Pennsylvania's attorney general Tuesday of failing to disclose for years that the material in some models deteriorates with exposure to fluorescent light, heat and humidity.
Attorney General Jerry Pappert blamed the vests for the death of a police officer in California and the wounding of an officer in suburban Pittsburgh.
Second Chance president and chief executive Paul Banducci said the company had not seen the lawsuit, but he added that Second Chance has properly handled the issues, voluntarily replacing or upgrading thousands of vests.
Pennsylvania is the sixth state to file such a lawsuit against Second Chance. Second Chance sold more than 7,200 of the lightweight vests worth nearly $5 million to 200 law enforcement agencies around the state, including the Pennsylvania State Police, Pappert said.
Second Chance discontinued production of the lightweight vests last September, Pappert said.
The vests used Zylon fibers - a material produced by Toyobo Co. of Japan - that made the body armor lighter and more comfortable.
But in December 1998, Toyobo informed Second Chance that the material significantly deteriorated with exposure to fluorescent light, Pappert said. And in August 2001, he said, Toyobo officials told Second Chance that heat and humidity tests resulted in more problems.
"It's our position that Second Chance made a conscious decision to hold off warning our law enforcement officials that degradation problems with Zylon in bulletproof vests could seriously compromise their effectiveness," Pappert said.

In this thesis, I examine the changing conceptualization of what is called the "at-risk" or disadvantaged student from 1960-2009. Using components of theory on education as an institution, the construction of knowledge, and racial formation theory, I specifically argue that research reviews and federal policy serve as sites where these core concepts in educational discourse and policy continually go through a process of rearticulation and legitimation. I use one journal, the Review of Educational Research, to examine this relationship over 50 years, from 1960-2009. I use a quantitative content analysis of research abstracts to explore 1.) how the concept of the "at-risk student" is rearticulated between 1960-2009 and 2) how this is possibly legitimated through research discourse and changing educational policy over changing sociopolitical climates. I do this by tracing the trajectory of the change in conceptualization with changing policy and political regimes. Twenty-one individual level categories defining the "at-risk" students emerge and are tracked over time. I conclude by discussing how the relationship between research discourse on the "at-risk student" and federal policy directed toward the "at-risk" mutually influence each other using legitimating effects so that this concept remains a stable instrument to structure society. Implications for diversity are discussed.

Two seasons ago, point guard Jaylon Tate departed for Simeon after spending his first two years at De La Salle. The next offseason, uncommitted 2013 big man Gavin Schilling made a move from DLS to prestigious Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada just outside of Las Vegas. And on top of that, big man Alex Foster, a former top 10 player in the country whose stock has declined in the last couple years, departed for Seton Academy.
If those three had stayed around, De La Salle would have arguably one of the best trios in the state of Illinois. But the lone remaining member of that group is wing and Minnesota commit Alvin Ellis.
Ellis has been having a big season for De La Salle. The wing is especially adept to slashing, but can also step back and hit both mid-range and outside jump shots. He's extremely active and his motor never stops running.
I guess the irony of the whole situation is that a trio of Ellis, Foster, and Schilling may all reunite at Minnesota (should Schilling choose that route).
But Ellis will face some serious attention on Saturday. SMU bound wing Sterling Brown leads the charge for the Pirates of Proviso East. Brown doesn't always put up the big numbers for his team, but when you see him play, you realize how successful he makes his teammates.
Brown's value is more than meets the eye, and his defense has significantly improved this year. Another teammate, Illinois State commit Paris Lee, is an excellent defender, and he'll give the De La Salle ball handlers fits all game.
Proviso East has no problem being patient and running their half-court offense, while De La Salle will look to get out and run. Talent matchup suggests that Proviso East has the advantage, but I think whoever controls the pace in this one takes home the win.
IlliniPlaybook will be live from the event providing up-to-the-minute coverage of the event.
For those interested in attending, details of the event are below:
Where: House of Hope Arena (Chicago, IL)
When: Saturday, February 23, 4:00 PM Central

text: FOLSOM, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Folsom Lake Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: FOLB), announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter period ending March 31, 2010. The Bank reported its first profitable quarter with net income of $44,727 compared to a loss of $461,803 for the first quarter of 2009. "The Bank continues to enjoy steady and manageable growth, and now a profitable operation, just as our business plan for a classic community bank envisioned," said Robert J. Flautt, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Considering our road to profitability was paved during the "Great Recession", we feel an even greater sense of accomplishment." Folsom Lake Bank opened April 3, 2007 with 406 local investors. The profitable operation comes 33 months after opening the Bank. The Bank had its first full month of profitability in June of 2009 as envisioned in the original business plan for the Bank, however expenses associated with the opening of a second branch in Roseville put the Bank back in the red. "The Bank had been looking for a location on Douglas Boulevard in Roseville and the Board of Directors decided it was a terrific opportunity that we could not pass up," said David J. West, Chairman of the Board. Net Interest Income for the quarter was $992,276, up $357,588 or 56% compared to the first quarter of 2009, reflecting healthy growth in earning assets as well as a low cost of deposits. Non-interest income also showed strong growth, improving from $66,545 in first quarter 2009 to $116,614 for the first reporting period in 2010, an increase of 75%. Even with this total increase of 56% in revenue, expense growth was kept to just 15% reflecting a focus on efficiency. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, total assets had grown to $104.1 million, an increase of $32.9 million or 46.2% from the first quarter of 2009. Total deposits were $89.3 million, up $34.1 million or 61.8% from one year ago. Total loans ended the quarter at $66.1 million, an increase of $27.7 million or 52.3% from the prior year. Investments were $32.7 million, up $11.3 million compared to the year earlier total of $21.4 million. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) now totals $1,534,940, or 2.32% of loans outstanding which provides a more than adequate reserve for problem loans. "The Bank's focus will continue to be on building a strong balance sheet, maintaining a high level of liquidity and sustained profitability. Our assets are split nicely between a conservative lending portfolio and safe investments. Our growth has been remarkably steady over the last three years in spite of a weak economy. I expect we will continue to attract new customer relationships based on our classic community bank values of customer service, local knowledge of our communities and a focus on delivering what the customer wants", concluded Flautt.


text: So i bought a brand new 2013 subaru Wrx Sti last august. It had always been a car i wanted to own so i finally order it and drove it right off the showroom floor. The car ran great no problems had the oil changed at 2500 miles like my dealer recommended. I never launched my car or anything too harsh(other than pressing the gas pedal down on the highway). I was driving down the highway friday and noticed a sound coming from the front of it, paniced i drove it home and parked it until the next day when my buddy could listen to it. i turned it on for him and the sound was even louder saturday and my buddy says you need to take it in to the dealership it sounds really bad. I took it to the dealership and the guy listens to it and does some digging around and says he believes its worse than i thought that it threw a rod bearing. Now im no mechanic or anything but why would my car do this if i havent even been that hard on it or anything? subaru of course gave me a rental car and said it could be awhile before i get to drive my car again. One of the guys at the shop said they would probably have to order a new engine and put it in. Is this a common thing for subarus or the STI's in general? im a new subaru owner so im not too familiar with everything. My car has 5800 miles on it at the moment.

April 23, 2012 at 2:47 pmHi A N from all of us in Camden to you in Poitiers. You are correct that we have taken down our stitac website You know that stitac is never good in hairdressing and it seems the same is true for web design. However in consideration of any inconvenience we have made 2 new websites for all our customers (both present and future), and are now looking at making a mobile website also. So I hope that will suffice for now but if not then come visit us at the salon or check us out on Facebook. Reply

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Florida and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Amazon's Amazing Drone [VIDEO]
I saw one of the best segments on 60 Minutes last evening. It features Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon. Before the piece concluded, Bezos unveiled what he called "Octocopters."
These drones look like something out of the "Terminator" movies. They are unmanned "Prime Air" vehicles that will deliver products to your home within 30 minutes of the order being places at Amazon.com.
The CEO says that these drones will someday be as normal as seeing mail trucks n the road today. There are still some "bugs" to work out of the Octocopters before they can be approved by the FAA. Bezos said in the interview last night that the drones won't be ready to take flight for a few years. An optimistic guess was 2015.
Check out the video of an the Amazon Prime Air test-flight.

Painting trouble
Easiest way to cut the corners. I'm chassing my tail touching up. I have a nice cut brush, I don't over load the brush, But I still keep finding spots and over cuts. Can someone tell me how I can save myself some time and frustration?.. THANX
There are many ways to prevent painting areas that you don't want to paint!
You can tape the ares but it takes too much timr one of my favorites is to get drywall tape knife ( a plastic one works great ) and use it as a guide.
Save yourself some time and frustration, might want to try to tape the baseboards and trim. I was never good at taping tight, so I learned to utilize the brush more. That might be your best fix, learn the limitations of the brush you are using.
Painting is just like any other trade, you get good at it by experience. Nothing can replace that.
I'm no painter - but I do know trim. I usually pull all the trim and then paint wall and trim separately.. haha.

Thunder of guns and rattle of musketry nearer, daily, bring fresh alarms.
In the middle of the night there was a crash of musketry, and a sudden uproar.
They are arranged as extensive tenements within, pierced for musketry, and only in some cases with terraces for cannon.
From the bottom of the slope, where the parleys had taken place, came the report of musketry.
The next morning we were awakened by the booming of cannon and clash of musketry.
Directly we heard volleys of musketry, and then the camps were astir.
Bayonets clashed and musketry rattled; but our troops seemed to know that the end was near, and nothing could stay or resist them.
But they had been seen, and a random discharge of musketry followed.
The days passed quietly, with no fighting except an occasional rattle of musketry and now and then a cannon shot.
Suddenly a rattle of musketry from behind drew Helmar's attention.
1640s, from French mousqueterie, from mousquet "musket" (see musket), on analogy of Italian moschetteria.

Atlanta Fed's Barron Announces Retirement; Gooding Named First Vice President; Venable to Manage Federal Reserve's Retail Payments Office
For Immediate Release: Dec. 7, 2010
|Patrick Barron
|Marie Gooding
|Cheryl Venable
Patrick Barron, first vice president and chief operating officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, today announced his plan to retire effective Feb. 28, 2011, after more than 43 years in the Federal Reserve System. Marie Gooding, Atlanta Fed executive vice president and retail payments product manager, has been appointed as the Bank's next first vice president and chief operating officer, effective March 1, 2011. Gooding was appointed by the Sixth Federal Reserve District's board of directors, with approval by the Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors. Gooding also will serve as retail payments product director for the Fed System. Cheryl Venable, senior vice president and chief information officer for the Retail Payments Office (RPO), has been named retail payments product manager effective March 1, 2011, and will join the Atlanta Fed's management committee.
"We are very grateful to Pat for his many significant contributions to the Atlanta Fed and to the Federal Reserve System over his career," said Dennis Lockhart, Atlanta Fed president and chief executive officer. "Pat has a long list of distinguished accomplishments, including his leadership as director of the Fed System's RPO from 1998 to present. In this role, he has continuously advanced more rapid adoption of an electronic approach to processing check payments. Through this work, he has helped to make the nation's payments system far more efficient for both businesses and consumers. In addition to his official responsibilities, Pat has played a vital role in the communities in which he has served."
Barron has served in his current position since 1996, when he returned to the Atlanta Fed following his service as first vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco from 1991 to 1996. He began his career with the Atlanta Fed in 1967 in the computer operations area and transferred to the Miami Branch in 1971. Barron was named assistant vice president in 1974, appointed vice president and branch manager in 1982 and promoted to senior vice president in 1987. He returned to Atlanta the following year to assume broader and more strategic responsibilities as head of corporate services, overseeing automation administration, telecommunications, corporate planning and control, accounting, data processing and human resources. Barron also has been a member of or chaired several important System committees for the Federal Reserve.
Barron graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in management from the University of Miami. He completed the Harvard Business School's Program for Management Development and attended the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University, where his thesis was accepted for the school library. Barron has been active in the community and is past chairman of the Georgia Council on Economic Education. He was an associate vice chairman for the United Way of Atlanta and a member of Leadership Atlanta. In Miami, he served as vice chairman of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. At present, he serves on the University of Miami's Board of Trustees and its President's Council, and he is president of the university's Alumni Association.
Carol Tomé, chief financial officer and executive vice president of The Home Depot and chairman of the Atlanta Fed's board of directors, offered her perspective on Gooding's appointment: "During her career at the Atlanta Fed, Marie has displayed strong personal commitment to the mission of the Federal Reserve and made significant contributions within the Atlanta Fed and throughout the Fed System. She brings to her new position a wide range of experience, having led functions as diverse as payments processing—both at the strategy-setting level and the operational level—computer systems, human resources and a number of other key functions."
Gooding most recently served as executive vice president and retail payments product manager for the Federal Reserve System. She joined the Atlanta Fed's head office in 1987 as a data security coordinator. In 1994, she was promoted to assistant vice president and assigned to the Atlanta Branch. From 1996 to 2001, she was assistant vice president and assistant branch manager. From 2001 to 2004, Gooding served as assistant vice president in the RPO and then served as vice president and senior officer over the RPO's FedACH Services. Gooding was named to head the Bank's human resources function in February 2006. Later that year, she was promoted to senior vice president. Gooding served as senior vice president and corporate engagement officer from Sept. 2008 to Nov. 2009, with responsibility for the office of the corporate secretary and the human resources and public affairs departments.
Before joining the Bank, Gooding was a data security manager for Gordon Jewelry Corporation of Houston. She also taught secondary math in the Georgia public school system. A native of Monroe, Ga., she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree from Old Dominion University. She completed Duke University's Advanced Management Program and Harvard University's Advanced Management Program.
Venable joined the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta in 2010 after 19 years in the Federal Reserve System. In her current position, she serves as chief information officer for the RPO with responsibility for application development and operations of both check and FedACH. Venable joined the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in 1991 and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in 1996, where she was promoted to vice president in 2002 and senior vice president in 2008. Before joining the Atlanta Fed this year, she oversaw information technology at the Minneapolis Fed, as well as FedACH operations and automation for the Atlanta and Minneapolis Banks. She also served on the Minneapolis Fed's management committee. Venable received her bachelor's and master's degrees in business administration from Saint Louis University.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta serves the Sixth Federal Reserve District, which encompasses Alabama, Florida and Georgia and parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. As part of the nation's central banking system, the Atlanta Fed participates in setting national monetary policy, supervises numerous banking organizations and provides a variety of payments services to depository institutions and the U.S. government.

Paris Hilton Tweets Confirmation of Nicky Hilton's Engagement
As a follow-up to the GossipCenter's previous report, Nicky Hilton is confirmed to be engaged to James Rothschild thanks to her sister Paris Hilton's penchant for social media.

Technical Paper
An algorithm for Monte Carlo calculation of sensitivities of responses to secondaries' angular distributions (SAD) is developed, based on the differential operator approach. The algorithm was formulated for the sensitivity to Legendre coefficients of the SAD and is valid even in cases where the actual representation of SAD is not in the form of a Legendre series. The algorithm was implemented, for point- or ring-detectors, in a local version of the code MCNP. Numerical tests were performed to validate the algorithm and its implementation. In addition, an algorithm specific for the Kalbach-Mann representation of SAD is presented.

Drug: Velcade/Dexamethasone
Multiple Myeloma is a plasma cell disorder characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of bone marrow plasma cells leading to skeletal destruction with bone pain, anemia, renal failure, hypercalcemia, recurrent bacterial infections and extramedullary plasmacytomas. It accounts for 1% of all malignancies and slightly more than 10% of hematologic malignancies, with an annual incidence of about four per 100.000. Although this disease is incurable with a median survival of about 3 years, remarkable treatment advances have been recently made, including high-dose therapy followed by stem cell rescue and, particularly, the introduction of novel promising agents with new mechanisms of action.
Data from pre-clinical and clinical studies conducted to date support the continued development of VELCADE for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma. Standard chemotherapy remains as the gold standard for induction before HDT/SCT treatment in younger multiple myeloma patients (<65 years). Since VELCADE has a mechanism of action different from chemotherapy and dexamethasone and is considered to be efficacious in Multiple Myeloma, its introduction in induction regimens may contribute to increase the response rate and eventually survival of these patients that represent half of myeloma population.
Since VBMCP/VBAD is considered to be the gold standard for Multiple Myeloma patients <65 years as induction regimen prior HDT/SCT, the results of VEL/DEX will be compared with those obtained in 100 patients treated with VBMCP/VBAD chemotherapy in our last GEM protocol (Spanish Myeloma Group) for patients <65 years (closed in Dec 2004
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 64 Years (Adult)

Cornmeal-Cherry Cookies
Cornmeal gives these not-too-sweet cookies a crumbly texture and golden color. Keep an extra log in the freezer -- you can slice off and bake as many cookies as you want. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 32
Source: Everyday Food, December 2003
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries, finely chopped
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla, egg, and orange zest. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Stir in cherries.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; pat into a log, 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Wrap dough in parchment; form it into a rectangle by flattening the top and sides with your hands. Twist ends of parchment to seal. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice dough 1/4 inch thick, rotating log 1/4 turn after each slice. Place 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are firm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
