Studies will be conducted on the cumulative lifetime Medicare costs of individuals from four Chicago population cohorts from which prior risk factor data are available. One cohort is from the Western Electric Company Study, with 2107 men who were 40-56 when the follow up began in 1957. For this group a physical exam, ECG and cholesterol measures are available along with data from a quantitative diet history conducted at that time assessing 28 days of intake. It is not clear whether the men themselves or their wives provided this information. Repeat measures are available, but attention is paid to their use in the analyses. Also, information on the availability of the quantitative information at the food level is not provided. Two cohorts are from the Peoples Gas Company Study, one with 1594 men aged 40-59 in 1958 and the second with 1609 men aged 25-39 in 1959 . From both cohorts a total of 1802 men are, based on their ages, currently Medicare eligible.The fourth cohort is the Chicago Heart Disease Detection Association Project (CHA) based on an initial survey of 39,573 men and women conducted in 1967-1973 on whom dietary data are not available.
The study assesses the relationships of CVD risk factors measured in young and middle-aged adult men and women to Medicare utilization and charges, from Medicare enrollment to death or attainment of age 70, 75, 80, >80, including in the last one to two years of life. The study determines long-term relationship between earlier low-risk status vs. not-low-risk to subsequent Medicare health care charges. Baseline low risk is all six CVD risk factors favorable: systolic/diastolic pressure 120 mmHg/80 mmHg and no antihypertensive treatment, serum cholesterol <200 mg/dl, not currently smoking, no ECG abnormalities, no history of diabetes or heart attack. The study also determines the relationships between baseline habitual eating patterns and subsequent Medicare utilization and charges. Further statistical methods are developed for optimal analyses of health care expenditures. The database will be extended by obtaining additional years of morbidity-mortality experience and of Medicare charge data to the year 2002.

Sac State Art Collection Catalog
List of Artworks for catalog essay
Art 116, Fall 2014
W 3-5:50 pm
Kadema 170
Course description:
This topics seminar focuses on the art of the Greater Sacramento region in the 1960s and '70s when Civil Rights Movements – with a major center at UC Berkeley - led to demands for equity hiring and admission practices in California's massive higher education system.
A new kind of artist - populist, feminist, African-American, Native American, and Chicano – came to teach in the state's art departments, and the art they made and taught was at the cutting edge of the postmodern art world wide as it entered the contemporary era of decolonization. In Europe and the United States what we have had is internal decolonization: the so-called Rise of the Rest. Readings focus on the situation for artists in our own region in the sixties and seventies, the work of individual artists, art schools and art institutions like Sac State and UC Davis, the early Artforum magazine, the Candy Store and Belmonte Galleries, and Pacific Western Traders. We will host guest artists from the period and take field trips to regional museums, including the Oakland Museum to see Fertile Ground: Art and Community in California. The seminar research project is to work directly with artwork in the Sacramento State University collection. Each student selects an artwork from the collection and writes an art historical catalog essay about it to be published in the online catalog.
Course Prerequisites: Upper-division or graduate status; completion of the University's Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement; completion of Art 1B, Art 1C or equivalent; and an upper-division course in a related subject area or instructor's permission.

In the Stars Wars galaxy, evil is on the move as the Galactic Alliance and Jedi order battle forces seen and unseen, from rampant internal treachery to the nightmare of all-out war.
With each victory against the Corellian rebels, Jacen Solo becomes more admired, more power-ful, and more certain of achieving galactic peace. But that peace may come at a price. Despite strained relationships caused by opposing sympathies in the war, Han and Leia Solo and Luke and Mara Skywalker remain united by one frightening suspicion: Someone insidious is manipulating this war, and if he or she isn't stopped, all efforts at reconciliation may be for naught. And as sinister visions lead Luke to believe that the source of the evil is none other than Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith, the greatest peril revolves around Jacen himself.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Soon to be sophomore Northern Arizona diver, Chelsea Jackson competed at the USA Diving Senior Zone Championships in Tucson over the weekend.
The meet was one of four USA Diving National Preliminaries that took place across the country. The top finalists in each event advanced USA Diving Senior National Championships.
In the 3-meter event there were 63 divers competing, with the top 12 making the finals. The top 5 individuals in the finals, then move on to Nationals. Jackson qualified in fifth place for the finals and ended up eighth, just missing the National team.
Sixty-six divers competed on the one-meter. Jackson finished 19th after prelims, but missed the finals by eight points.
"It was great to see Chelsea compete so well against some of the top divers in the west," said diving coach Nikki Huffman. "She has been working hard all summer and it showed in her performances. Chelsea is a native of Flagstaff and has only been diving for two years."

John McLaughlin (Guitar); Etienne Mbappe (Bass); Gary Husband (Keys); Ranjit Barot (Drums)
Abstract Logix Label Release.
It's been two years since John McLaughlin released the highly acclaimed To the One (Abstract Logix, 2010) - his first studio recording with The 4th Dimension, the veteran guitar innovator's second longest-standing group since the east-meets-west fusion of Shakti. Comments like "…listening to his improvisations…leaves no doubt that [McLaughlin] is in inspired creative form," (Ian Patterson, AllAboutJazz.com), and "…this tight 40-minute document hums with a collaborative energy." (John Fordham, The Guardian) left little doubt that McLaughlin's return to the electrified fusion he first innovated more than 40 years ago in groups led by trumpet icon Miles Davis and drum legend Tony Williams - and, of course, with his own earth-shattering Mahavishnu Orchestra - was as inimitably electrifying and exhilarating as ever.
While Now Here This reflects a slightly (but significantly) altered 4th Dimension - specifically the recruitment of powerhouse Indian drummer Ranjit Barot, first heard on the guitarist's 2008 Abstract Logix debut, Floating Point - the markers which have defined this group as one of McLaughlin's best pedal-to-the-metal fusion outfits since Mahavishnu Orchestra remain intact, but with an even greater finesse to contrast with its unfettered power and visceral energy. Cameroon-born/Paris-resident bassist Etienne M'Bappe is back from To the One, as is keyboardist/drummer Gary Husband, The 4th Dimension's only other founding member, first heard on the guitarist's acclaimed Industrial Zen (Verve, 2006).
Despite there being no overt concept as an undercurrent to Now Here This - To the One being an homage to saxophonist John Coltrane's spiritual search, one not unlike McLaughlin's own lifetime pursuit - this set of eight new McLaughlin originals is connected by the guitarist's decades-long fascination with Indian music, his effortless virtuosity, and a relentless lyricism that remains a touchstone, even when the guitarist is shredding at near-light speed. Husband's stunning contribution to Now Here This will put to rest any suggestions that his keyboard playing is secondary to his kit work, though he continues to bring no shortage of percussive power to The 4th Dimension as well - albeit even more successfully, with Barot in the drum chair. And if M'Bappe possesses no shortage of chops, his ability to bring them to the table without sacrificing groove and, when required, the need for space make him the ideal complement to his band mates.
If To the One was "…quite simply, McLaughlin's best album in well over a decade…" (John Kelman, AllAboutJazz.com), Now Here This ups the ante even further with greater fire, finesse and freewheeling interplay. An album certain to thrill longtime McLaughlin fans, for those new to his incendiary nexus of Indo-centric rhythmic complexities, innovative harmonic devices and unparalleled improvisational élan, Now Here This is the perfect introduction - one that will surely encourage them to also dive, head-first, into this legendary guitarist's lengthy and groundbreaking discography.

Your new Sausalito "Commuter Parking SmartCard" is now available !!!
Whether you commute to San Francisco via the ferry or bus, the City of Sausalito offers low cost parking for commuters for the cost of $4.00 per day when you park using your Sausalito Commuter SmartCard !!! The card is designed with commuters in mind !!!
Your "SmartCard" allows Commuters - as well as Merchants and Downtown Employees - to park in Lot #3 (across from the Casa Madrona & Poggio's) or Lot #4 (behind Taste of Rome restaurant) for the price of $4.00 per day.
To receive your new Commuter Parking SmartCard, please come by the parking office located at 29 Caledonia St. Bring a picture ID and your vehicle registration. We will also require a completed and signed application, if you have not already completed one. Please email Elliott Holt at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Each "Commuter Parking SmartCard" is a "stored value" card: A customer pre-pays for parking at the police station. The pre-paid amount is then transferred to the chip on the customer's SmartCard, where that "value" is stored.
The new SmartCards work in coordination with the solar-powered pay stations. A person parks their vehicle, inserts their SmartCard into any pay station and then enters their space number into the system using the machine's keypad. They then confirm the information on the screen, at which point $4.00 is deducted from the balance on the SmartCard and a receipt is printed.
Every time the SmartCard is used, $4.00 is deducted from the value on the chip. When the value runs low, the customer simply returns to the police station to have more value placed on their card.
NEW !!!!! We now accept "Commuter Checks" !!!!!
You can now pay for your commuter parking using pre-tax dollars !
Ask your employer about enrolling in this money saving program !

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > WR > Todd Blythe
Todd Blythe Scouting Report
|Iowa State Cyclones
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'5 - 214 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Todd Blythe, WR, Iowa State
Blythe has had a very productive four-year career at Iowa St. and though he may not be mentioned among the other elite receivers in the country, that doesn't mean he should be on the board for too long. He had an outstanding season as a freshman, catching 39 passes for 833 yards (21.4 yards per catch) and nine touchdowns. He kept up the productivity as a sophomore, catching 51 passes for 1,000 yards and nine scores. 2006 was set to be another big season, but he missed four games and was limited to only 34 catches and 484 yards. But, he still made plays (despite his and Iowa St.'s struggles), finding the end zone in all but one of eight games he played, totaling eight touchdowns. This season, he was a bright spot in a 3-9 season, rounding out his Iowa St. career by becoming the Cyclones' all-time leading receiver, catching 52 passes for 779 yards and five touchdowns to finish with school records of 176 catches, 3,096 yards and 31 touchdowns. Blythe has all the makings of an excellent NFL receiver - great size (he's anywhere from 6'4 to 6'6, depending on where you look), great hands, and big-play ability. Also, he's a physical receiver, which helps him both as a pass-catcher and as a blocker. The one knock on him is that he isn't as fast as some scouts would like for him to be. That hasn't stopped one of the most prominent talent evaluators out there (Gil Brandt) from speaking very highly of him in an October article in the Des Moines Register; where he raved about Blythe's blocking and pass-catching ability and compared him to former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey, who had a similar make-up to Blythe. This is a guy worth taking a chance on. His talent and production can't be overlooked and his playmaking skills and physicality can overrule any issues about how fast he may or may not be. He could see himself move up at least high into the third round if he runs well enough at the combine, but seems set to be a Day Two guy. If he falls too far (NFLDraftScout.com has him rated in the 7th round), he could be another guy that falls into the 'steal' category, making a lot of teams rue passing on him. Update (2/13/08): In last month's East-West Shrine Bowl in Houston, Blythe had one catch for eight yards for the West team in their 31-13 victory. Blythe has been invited to attend next week's combine in Indianapolis and going into the combine, he still projects as a late-round pick. Update (3/12/08): At last month's combine, Blythe (who measured in at 6'5, 214) ran a best of a little over 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash. That wasn't the kind of time that he needed to push himself into an early-to-mid second-day spot, but with his size and production, someone still may take a chance on him in that range. However, going into Iowa St.'s pro day in two weeks, Blythe is still projected as a late-rounder at best. Update (4/12/08): After running a 4.65 at the combine, Blythe lowered his 40 time at Iowa St.'s Pro Day on March 26, running a best of 4.58 seconds. He also had 13 bench press reps and a vertical jump of 32 1/2 inches. Still a late-rounder, but with the mix of size, hands, and big-play skills, and his production over the last four years, he'll catch someone's eye.

If the information in this article is correct, England's got a real free speech problem. It may be false or distorted, of course; it comes from a fundamentalist group and they've got a long history of exaggerating and distorting reality in order to make themselves look like martyrs.

Officer Charged in Fatal Beating of Schizophrenic man
You may remember the case in Fullerton, California where police officers beat a schizophrenic homeless man to death. Surprisingly, the two officers have actually been charged in the case.Prosecutors charged officer Manuel Ramos with second-degree murder on Wednesday, saying he initiated the lethal beating of Kelly Thomas with the words, "My fists ... are getting ready to f--- you up." They accused a second officer, Cpl. Jay Cicinelli, with shocking and beating Thomas with his Taser and … [Read more...]
Republicans and Debt

The latest figures are out and they're appalling:If these statements are true, then how do they justify the arrests of more than 853,000 people for marijuana-related violations in 2010? That's one person arrested every 19 seconds! The Drug Czar maintains that law enforcement protocols are still considered a useful tool for eliminating suppliers and dealers as a way to decrease overall use.Okay, that seems like it makes sense.

Online Poker Bust: The Government's Fault
The legal complaint against Full Tilt Poker is worth reading. It's pretty obvious that the company was guilty of bank fraud and money laundering, as all the online sites doing business in the United States were, and that was obvious years ago.

The Conservative Base Isn't Gonna Like This
One of the fascinating things about Rick Perry is how little contact there is between perception and reality. The perception is that he's a hardcore, Tea Party conservative; the reality is that he is a political shape shifter who rivals Mitt Romney, at one point or another taking a far more liberal position on lots of issues than those who make up his current political base understands. On immigration, for example, Perry publicly opposed Arizona's famous SB 1070 law. He's also criticized the … [Read more...]
Farah vs Maddow and Ackerman
Joseph Farah is going after Rachel Maddow and Spencer Ackerman in his column at the Worldnutdaily. And boy is he off base.Maddow has a big mouth but very little courage. The very day Maddow was talking about these issues, another program on MSNBC had invited me to discuss one of them – the flying banner. I agreed. The segment was canceled. MSNBC invited me again the next day. I agreed. The segment was canceled. This happens frequently at MSBNC as well as CNN and Fox. I suspect some of these s … [Read more...]
DADT Repeal Prompts Much Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth
John Guardiano writes a profoundly ridiculous post-mortem on the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in the American Spectator.Don't Ask, Don't Tell, sadly, is now history. And its demise is being celebrated by the media as a milestone on the march to "civil rights" and "equality" for gay men and women.But in fact, just as with same-sex marriage, DADT has never been about civil rights or equality. Lesbians and homosexuals have always enjoyed the same legal rights and protections as every … [Read more...]

Higher ed in the headlines.
BY John Lilly
June 17-23, 2007 Issue | Posted 6/12/07 at 10:00 AM
Athletes and Abortion
THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, May 30 — NCAA president Myles Brand has ordered a review of the association's guidelines and policies for pregnant athletes. The review, to be conducted by the NCAA's Committee on Women's Athletics, was triggered by an exposé last month on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" program. It reported that numerous Clemson University women's basketball players have had abortions because of a fear of losing their scholarships due to their pregnancies. NCAA bylaws allow female students an extra year of eligibility if they become pregnant, but decisions about their athletic participation are made by individual campuses.
Bioethics Conference
FRANCISCAN UNIVERSITY OF STEUBENVILLE, June 4 — Franciscan University will hold a conference this fall that it says will "provide solid guidance for those on the frontlines" of key bioethical issues. The Oct. 25-27 conference will feature lectures by leading Catholic bioethicists and will be directed at doctors, nurses, clinicians and administrators seeking a better understanding of issues like abortion, stem cell research and assisted suicide. Presenters will include three members of the President's Council on Bioethics, its chairman Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, founder of Georgetown's Center for Clinical Bioethics, Princeton law professor Robert George and Dr. William Hurlbut.
Faith Inventory
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, May 30 — In collaboration with the Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association, Georgetown's Office of Campus Ministry has created an online college edition of the Catholic Faith Inventory. The inventory, which has already been taken online by more than 50 Georgetown students, is a questionnaire intended to provoke personal reflections on faith. It was originally designed for adult catechesis.

Fox hosted Specter to attack booklet for veterans, despite Wash. Post report that he hadn't read it
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
On August 25, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly hosted Sen. Arlen Specter to discuss his call for hearings regarding a Veterans Health Administration booklet about end-of-life decisions -- a booklet Specter characterized during the segment as "tough on veterans" and not "appropriate counseling." However, Kelly did not note that The Washington Post reported that day in its print edition that Specter "said in an interview yesterday that he had not read the booklet but was disturbed by what he had gleaned thus far."
From the 10 a.m. ET hour of the August 25 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:
KELLY: Well, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter has been having a bit of a rough time at these town halls over the past month. We're going to talk to him about that in a minute. But first, the senator is stepping in to defend the nation's veterans today in the wake of stunning revelations about the Veterans Administration's end-of-life counseling. Senator Specter now calling for a hearing in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. At issue is a 52-page VA document on end-of-life counseling. One former Bush administration official says this document, quote, "makes the veterans feel like they're a burden and they should do the decent thing and die." Well, now, the senator wants to look into that.
Senator Arlen Specter is my guest now. Senator, good morning. Welcome back to the program.
SPECTER: Good morning, Megyn; nice to have a chance to talk to you again. Thank you.
KELLY: It's always a pleasure to have you. But, you know, this -- we watched this on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace unearthing both sides of this issue, and the deputy secretary for the VA, Tammy Duckworth, came out and said, "Look, that document that's so controversial is inactive. It hasn't been in use for a few years."
The bottom line is, it's still up on the VA's website. We checked; it's still there. It's got a disclaimer that says it's under revision, but it's still there. And it tells the physicians to refer veterans to this pamphlet, which asks veterans to decide whether their life is worth living if they're in a wheelchair, if they're in a nursing home, if they feel depressed, and so on.
I mean, this strikes us as rather outrageous, Senator. Are we off base on this?
SPECTER: That counseling memo is very tough on veterans, and I don't think it's the appropriate counseling. I think we have to protect the veterans and encourage them, and they may have some very tough wounds as a result of serving the country. And I've called for hearings, written to the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, a committee I serve on, to have a hearing and to explore it thoroughly.
And I've also written to the Veterans Administration with the suggestion that it be suspended, taken off the website until there can be an analysis and a final determination. And if the hearing shows what I think it will show, that it's not desirable, I will introduce legislation to prohibit it. Congress can control that.
Washington Post: Specter "had not read the booklet but was disturbed by what he had gleaned thus far"
Specter: "I heard an inference that people might be inappropriately influenced to withhold medical treatment." The Post reported in the August 25 edition of the paper:
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) called on the Department of Veterans Affairs on Monday to consider suspending its use of an end-of-life planning document that critics have dubbed the "death book for veterans."
"There is an issue as to whether the VA document inappropriately pressures disabled veterans who forgo critical care by subtly urging them on end-of-life decisions," Specter wrote in a letter requesting that the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee hold a hearing on the matter.
VA officials said that the document has been misrepresented by critics and that the decade-old publication, titled "Your Life, Your Choices," is an "educational resource" meant to help veterans direct in advance the medical care they want in the event they are incapacitated.
Specter said in an interview yesterday that he had not read the booklet but was disturbed by what he had gleaned thus far. "I heard an inference that people might be inappropriately influenced to withhold medical treatment," he said.
Specter's letter, which was also sent to VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, says that "consideration should be given to suspending it temporarily until a determination is made as to its appropriateness."
Specter joins conservative media in criticizing booklet for veterans on advance planning
Fox News, NRO, Limbaugh run with "death book" smears. Following false accusations that the Democrats' health care reform legislation would institute "death panels" for the elderly, former Bush official Jim Towey claimed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Obama administration revived a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) booklet on advanced planning directives that would "steer vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living," calling the booklet a "death book." As with the death panel smear, conservative media -- particularly Fox News -- promoted Towey's false "death book" claim, ignoring facts that undermine Towey's rhetoric.
Booklet for veterans on advance planning is not a "death book"
"Your Life, Your Choices" does not tell veterans to "hurry up and die." The booklet emphasizes that "your wishes will direct future health care decisions" and presents preserving one's life "using any means possible" as an option to consider. An August 23 post by VoteVets.org blogger Richard Smith criticized Towey's assertion in The Wall Street Journal that "Your Life, Your Choices" presents "end-of-life choices in a way aimed at steering users toward predetermined conclusions," writing: "Really, if the document was really trying to get veterans to pull the plug on themselves, then first suggesting to them that their life should be prolonged at all costs is a pretty stupid way to do it" [emphasis in original].
Kelly continued to promote smear that booklet pressures veterans to die
Kelly: "[W]ho, in their right mind who knew about this document, would allow it to stay on the website?" During the August 25 interview with Specter, Kelly said:
KELLY: Do we have to do all that, Senator? I mean, can't you just call somebody over at the White House and say look at this crazy document. You probably didn't know about it, because who, in their right mind who knew about this document, would allow it to stay on the website? Just take it down. Take it down and tell the VA doctors not to refer their patients to this pamphlet, which suggests that they consider whether life is worth living because they happen to be relegated to a wheelchair or feel a little depressed. [America's Newsroom, 8/25/09]
Kelly forwarded claims from "critics" that booklet tells veterans to "hurry up and die." On August 24, Kelly falsely claimed that the booklet encourages veterans to "hurry up and die" and that VHA officials are "required" to refer patients to it.

Police questioning Frank Sammut
Frank Sammut, a former Enemalta director and member of the Oil Procurement Committee, is being questioned by the police following reports that he received commissions from Dutch company Trafigura for oil sales to the corporation in 2004.
The funds were allegedly deposited in a Swiss Bank.
The Labour Party said yesterday that minister Austin Gatt should also be questioned over the oil procurement process. Dr Gatt replied that he was willing to answer any questions which the police may have, but he was not the one who appointed Mr Sammut and he was never tipped off about any irregularities. He also pointed out that the committee was composed of 10 people and procurement decisions were not taken by one or two people.

Nature's Price Tag
Larry Goulder, Professor of Environmental and Resource Economics, Stanford
Tony Juniper, Associate Professor, University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership; Special Advisor to The Prince of Wales International Sustainability Unit
An emerging area of economics aims to put a price on nature as a way of justifying preserving it in societies dominated by the wisdom of markets. A mountain stream, for example, provides many economic benefits beyond people who own property near it or drink water from it. The same is said of bees that pollinate our food, wetlands that cleans water, and trees that drink up carbon dioxide. If nature were a corporation it would be a large cap stock. Putting a precise tag on something long seen as free is a conceptual leap. However many large companies are starting to realize the extent to which their profits rely on well operating ecosystems. Join in a conversation about ecosystem services and the economic value of the natural world.
Location: SF Club Office
Time: 5:30 p.m. check-in, 6 p.m. program, 7 p.m. networking reception

Penelope Cruz just had her kid like a month ago, which is the best time to see hot MILF bewbs at the peak of their milk-engorged best. Take Penelope here, who normally sports a fairly modest rack, but with the addition of the kid has now swollen to porn star proportions. On the surface I suppose this would appear to be like a miracle, but lets ponder this concept for a minute.
I'm speaking as one who has not had the honor of handling any post-pregnancy fun bags, so bear with me here. I think I can safely assume that what's accomplishing the explosive growth we see here are generous reservoirs of milk, right? So, doesn't that mean that any rigorous handling of the now milk-filled bewb is going to spray me with milk? And how is that sexy? For a normal person, anyway?
I'm going to assume that this fascination with mom bewbs is purely an external, visual phenomenon isolated to those who don't have any experience with the actual functioning of the bewb in the role of feeding station for infants. For those in the know, I imagine the concept is much more mundane.
They do look great, though.

While Lautrec's celebrity images highlight the flamboyant beauty and sexuality of Montmartre, his pictures of the maisons closes—the late nineteenth-century French euphemism for brothels—observe the seamy world of prostitution. The subjects of these works are not famous stars, but rather nameless women whom Lautrec depicts without glamour or sensationalism. In the Salon: The Sofa illustrates a group of prostitutes in a maison close (closed house) seated upon a red divan, awaiting their clients. With resigned faces and tired eyes, modestly cut frocks, and reserved body language, these women engage with neither the viewer nor one another, embodying a world of alienation. Such alienation, a recurring theme in Lautrec's work, is frequently regarded as a classic symptom of modernity, and more specifically, of Montmartre.

TELL CITY – Gun drawn, Betty Cash stands 10 feet from a possibly armed school intruder.
"Keep your hands where I can see them," she shouts. The man, a 20-something high on drugs, paces in the hallway and without warning, suddenly pulls a gun from the small of his back. Cash, filling the role as a school resource officer, fires her service weapon. The intruder falls to the ground, dead. Sort of.

Peering from under his camouflage hat, sweat-drenched from the hot June sun, Tim Watt describes how he came to be homeless. With a packed shopping cart en tow, he's making double time because he's late for an appointment, one that will help him get to his next destination.
His course brought him to Tell City like it had so many other towns before. But this fellow who heralds himself as 'Harry Hippie' isn't simply a vagabond; he has a mission.
PERRY COUNTY – The amount residents pay in annual fees to the County Solid Waste Management District for disposal and recycling services could soon go up. Based on a proposal from the agency's governing board, a $13 annual increase is under consideration.
If approved, fees would raise from the current $32 a year to $45.
TELL CITY – The Tell City Common Council judged the merits of several existing tax abatements at its meeting last Monday. Some passed with flying colors while others were flagged due to missing or incomplete information or a lack of compliance.

TELL CITY – The 16th annual Perry County Chamber of Commerce business award ceremony was held Tuesday evening, at the Schergens Center. A total of five awards were handed out over the course of the evening, in five different categories.
CANNELTON – The Perry County Courthouse Annex in Cannelton will be closed Monday, June 19, and Tuesday, June 20, as the respective offices prepare to move to the newly renovated Armory Annex in Tell City.
Services at the health office will be available in case of emergency but phones at all of the county agencies currently located in Cannelton will be offline.
The main courthouse building along Indiana 37 will be open on those days, however, the Emergency Management Agency office will be closed as it is moving into the Armory.
TELL CITY – The annual event designed to commemorate cancer survivors is set for the heart of Tell City for its 2017 inception.
"Having it back in Tell City again is great," said Lena Joyal, leader of this year's event. She said one advantage of it being in Tell City Hall Park is the likelihood of foot traffic to the attend event.
The walk-in element comes at a time when the event is seeing some changes.
