DM Analytics, a leading provider of retail-focused software solutions, has added a Tag and Sign system to a comprehensive application suite that also incorporates Ordering, Receiving, Shelf Price Audit and Inventory modules. The system is ideal for supermarkets, drug stores, dollar stores, hardware, consumer electronics/appliances, furniture/home furnishings, liquor, auto parts, hobby/crafts, pool supply, and other hardlines retailers.
The Phoenix-based company's solution is highly flexible, supporting all shelf tag types, sign types, and fonts; offering configurability for different messages and tag stock; and enabling end-users to select how tags are sorted. Like all DM Analytics modules, the system features added versatility because it runs on mobile devices, including Apple iOS, and may be completely integrated with retailers' existing point of sale, scanning, merchandising, headquarters, and promotions management systems.
Complementing these benefits, the module yields tight control over tag and sign production and distribution. Materials are generated from one centralized system, preventing any deviation from corporate-approved graphics and marketing messages while ensuring consistency from store-to-store. Retailers can determine when new tags should be "pushed" to stores based on changes to prices and items; should a price change be scheduled by headquarters, management can assess the number of tags each store will need to generate and plan labor accordingly.
"Today's retailers need systems that allow them to efficiently manage all aspects of their business," said Michael Wagner, President of DM Analytics. "When it comes to creating tags and signs, this system, with its unparalleled flexibility, truly fits the bill."
DMA's introduction of the Tag and Sign module follows pilot tests at several retail companies.

Dennis DeMartin to Undergo Psychiatric Evaluation
Palm Beach County Judge Jeffrey Colbath has delayed a hearing that would have determined whether a former John Goodman juror was guilty of contempt of court.
The judge on Monday ordered Dennis DeMartin to undergo a mental health evaluation.
DeMartin's non-jury trial was supposed to start on Monday. Wellington polo mogul John Goodman won a new trial after being convicted of DUI Manslaughter, because DeMartin admitted to conducting a drinking experiment before jury deliberations.
Colbath has delayed the hearing by at least 30 days so doctors can decide whether DeMartin can stand trial.

I wanted to write a short review of the excellent paper written by NAACE called The Ipad as a tool for Education - A study of the introduction of iPads at Longfield Academy, Kent which is freely available. There is actually more research that I thought about these devices and this is first such paper I have read. I hope the others are as informative as this one because this gives insight into the impact of giving ipads to each student in a UK secondary school over a couple of terms in the academic year of 2011/12. Firstly the key sentence from the report:
"The outcomes at Longfield clearly demonstrate the value of the iPad as an educational tool and the role that it can play in learning and teaching." (P4, NAACE, 2012)
What I like is that staff, students and parents were surveyed. Interestingly, the students have a consistently more positive perception of its impact on their learning, achievement and engagement. Both staff and students are positive overall on their impact. There is a consistent 15% of staff negative across many of the questions is pretty impressive for a totally new device.
To comment on the report and give insight into the key findings I'll reproduce the bullet points from the executive summary and annotate with my comments. Words from the report are in italics and my words are non-italicised.
- The overwhelming majority of teachers regularly use iPads in their teaching - This is encouraging but it covers everything from a teacher using it to do a little research to use in collaborative learning.
- iPad use is particularly strong in English, Maths and Science - This statement belies a tendency for ipads to be used as a deliverer of subject specific content. I can see how teachers will instinctively explore their usefulness in this regard. This is partly to do with how technology has been used in the past, partly to do with how ipads are used in general and partly to do with reinforcing the dominant didactic pedagogy where seeking content fits nicely. I also suspect that there could be more exploration of apps for collaborative possibilities in this context leaving much of this potential undiscovered. The apps listed towards the end of the document are the standard popular ones and a few subject specific ones. This is an area that where educators will definitely need help with. I am certainly more interested in the all purpose collaborative or creative apps than the subject specific ones.
- There is high demand from students for iPad use to be extended further & Students are more
motivated when using iPads - One of the many messages you can take from these statement is that students want to be engaged more in their own learning and welcome the opportunities for working with devices that allow this to happen.
- Teachers have identified significant benefits for their workload and have also identified cost savings & Both staff and student feel they can work more effectively iPads & All find the iPad easy to use - This is important because it will attract many of the sceptics. Much of this is about the paper-saving potential. What's vital is that the screen glare is far, far reduced from notebooks and laptops of a few years ago. It's still a bit better with dedicated ebook readers but the ipad isn't half bad in this respect. Another key point is the easy transition between different applications and format all in one device. It makes tasks which previous needed planning and different pieces of equipment quicker and easier to manage and more attractive.
- Use of the iPads is increasingly being developed for homework and beyond school activities - There are just so much potential with the 1:1 setup. Students get their own device where they can continue their learning anytime, anywhere. What we need to do is help formal education understand the potential and they can set creative activities that can be completed at home.
- The quality and standard of pupil work and progress is rising - This point just leaps off the pages. Raising standard is hard to quantify but there is clearly enough evidence to make this statement. Now to find more studies that see what they say...
- Levels of collaborative working have improved - The evidence for this seemed a bit vague to me. But I'm sure its happening. What's important to understand is the tablets don't disrupt the social dynamic of the classroom. They can sit within a group discussion context and a focus for activity. Compare this with a computer room.
- Appropriate use of Apps learning - I'm glad it wasn't inappropriate. But we need more details case studies to learn more about this.
- Minor technical issues have arisen, often due to user error, but are readily dealt with - This was very useful. I have found with my tablet that there are very few problems that a reboot doesn't solve. When teaching with the ipads it's the logistics of sorting out the presentation screen that's needs the most attention. Also, its harder to manage a group of your own ipads for use across different groups than to go down the 1:1 route. The ipad is designed as a personal device so this is hardly surprising. I'm busy managing multiple itunes accounts and lots of gifting apps. Its fiddly. By giving this responsibility over to the students things are much easier.
- Effective project management has been critical to the success of this development - It's about investing time and space to the implementation process and built in time and space for regular review. For participants on my forthcoming workshop Using Ipads in Educational Settings we plan to offer the facilitation of action research as a follow up to support any implementation process. Buying technology and then have them sit in a cupboard is something we all want to prevent.
I like commenting on reports like this. I really helps me reflect.

'New York made it a one-goal game on the power play with MacDonald on the bench for a 6-on-4. Bill Guerin sent a pass from the left side to the right where Comrie slammed it home with 1:34 to play. In the final moments of the game again with MacDonald on the bench, Okposo fought off a checker along the right circle and sent the puck to the slot for Campoli, who snapped a wrister into the right corner of the net with two seconds left in regulation.'

Fox News Falls For Faux Immigration Controversy From New Black Panthers Fabulist
Fox News is actively promoting what it claims are "shocking" details about newly hired immigration enforcement attorneys at the Department of Homeland Security, asserting that the Obama administration is "stacking" the agency with "pro-open borders amnesty attorneys," because the lawyers either previously worked in immigration law or for immigrants' rights organizations.
Fox News hosted discredited former Justice Department attorney J. Christian Adams twice in two days to attack the Obama administration over its recent DHS hires, attacks which were also highlighted [1] on the Fox Nation website. Adams, who is best known [2] as the fabulist behind the New Black Panther Party pseudoscandal [3], accused the Obama administration in a piece [4] for the conservative PJ Media of improperly hiring these attorneys, claiming that the hires "undermine confidence that the federal government will vigorously enforce federal laws, notwithstanding any congressional 'mandates' to do so." Adams listed all the attorneys hired, along with information about their employment history or immigration background.
Among the work experience Adams cited were stints with immigrants' rights organizations like the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Advancement Project, the National Immigration Law Center, and the American Immigration Council. He also highlighted the work experience of an attorney who volunteered for Planned Parenthood, and those of two others who studied Arabic in Africa while in college.
On Fox & Friends, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck teased [5] an interview with Adams by claiming that "a shocking new report" shows that "President Obama [is] stacking his immigration enforcement office with pro-open borders amnesty attorneys." She added: "Are illegal immigrants getting a free pass thanks to the government?"
During the segment, co-host Steve Doocy said: "Even if the Obama Administration can't officially change immigration policy, these lawyers can help illegal immigrants stay in the country regardless of the law." He added: "The Obama administration, they're brilliant in getting around the rules." Adams then repeated his allegations, including that the lawyers are "all on the far left, open borders side of the equation."
Adams singled out two lawyers he claimed supported his points that they would follow an ideological agenda: Jennifer Lee and Maura Ooi.
He claimed that Lee was an example of an ideologue because she once worked for the Legal Aid Justice Center and the Center publishes a pamphlet [6] that makes sure undocumented immigrants understand their rights in the event of an immigration raid. Nowhere does the pamphlet direct immigrants to break the law; in fact, the guide [7] goes to great lengths to inform immigrants not to break the law:
The booklet explains, in great detail, the Miranda warning to immigrants.
Conservatives have long criticized [8] the "Know Your Rights" guides that immigrants' rights groups provide to immigrants who may not be cognizant of the fact that they do have rights. As one media report noted [9]:
None of the advice it provides involves breaking the law, however. It doesn't tell illegal immigrants how to hide from law enforcement. It doesn't give them advice on how to sneak across the border. It doesn't tell them how to create fake documentation.
Indeed, what seems to be the issue here is the fact that there are groups like the Legal Aid Justice Center that advocate for undocumented immigrants, as opposed to reporting them for deportation.
In the case of Ooi, Adams claimed that "she wrote articles attacking DHS" for "gathering fingerprint data from people they caught crossing the border, so they couldn't keep doing it over and over again." He added: "She was against that. It's crazy stuff and now they're in the government enforcing immigration law."
In fact, it's a stretch to claim that the paper [10] he cited -- to which he also linked in his PJ Media article -- was written by Ooi. The paper states only that the "document was prepared with the assistance of NILC legal intern Maura Ooi" and lists Harvard Law grad and then-NILC managing attorney Joan Friedland as the primary point of contact.
Moreover, the paper doesn't argue against fingerprinting; it raises serious concerns about the Secure Communities program -- the law enforcement deportation vehicle that has been widely criticized -- and its role in the Next Generation Identification Program, "which will expand the fingerprint database currently used by the FBI to include real-time iris scans, palm prints, and facial recognition data."
The paper goes on to attack DHS' prosecutorial discretion, warning that the agency's guidelines on discretion did not mention Secure Communities and so the program could therefore target victims and witnesses for deportation -- the very groups discretion is meant to protect.
Fox News host Megyn Kelly also welcomed [2] Adams to repeat his allegations. Adams claimed that the administration hired lawyers from "radical open-borders organizations" and "organizations with hostility toward immigration law." He went on to say: "This administration knows that personnel is policy and if you don't want immigration laws enforced vigorously, go out and hire lawyers who don't like immigration laws." He again cited the work experiences of Lee and Ooi.
One would think Fox would have learned its lesson to investigate Adams' claims after being so badly [11] burned [12] in the past.

Information from your City Offices | Public Notices | Public Announcements | Meetings/Events this Week | Things Happening Around our Community | Tip of the Month
Viña del Mar Accessibility Project will be commencing the week of December 2, 2013. The Project will remove the existing raised concrete and brick landing, steps and handrails and replace them with an at-grade scored and colored concrete surface; remove and replace the existing asphalt paving along the easterly side of the landing with a 10' wide scored and colored concrete surface extending to the existing fountain; remove and replace the existing brick and concrete sidewalk fronting the landing along Bridgeway and replace it with seeded aggregate concrete sidewalk. The existing wooden utility shed will be removed and replaced with an electrical code compliant stainless steel pedestal which will be coated with a fir green coating to minimize visual impact.
At the three corners of the plaza, the intersections of Bridgeway/El Portal, El Portal/Tracy Way, and Bridgeway/Tracy Way, the existing curb ramps will be removed and replaced with new ramps and landings constructed of seeded aggregate concrete along with detectable warning surfaces. The war memorial plaza area southerly of the confluence of Bridgeway and Tracy Way will be modified to accommodate the new level landing and ramp at that intersection.
The project will take approximately eight weeks to construct.
It's a Christmas Tree Lot in Dunphy Park
Please come down to Dunphy Park to look for your Christmas Tree this Holiday Season. There will be the traditional Douglas Fir, Noble Fir and Grand Fir trees to choose among. Partial proceeds of all tree sales are being donated to help fund the Robin Sweeny Park renovation project. Get your tree and help us raise money for this important project.
Businesses can even make arrangements for pre-orders. Flocking is also available. If you have any questions, contact Jeremy Williams or call 415.377.9678.
The tree lot will be open from November 29th through December 24th from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm (seven days a week).
Public Meeting on the Rehabilitation of the Sausalito Public Fishing Pier
The City is engaged in a process to rehabilitate a damaged public pier near the Trident Restaurant to restore public access and fishing opportunities. The pier has been a part of the City as early as 1936 and has been historically used as a fishing pier. The exact date of when the pier was installed is not known, although historical photographs show the pier in existence as early as 1936. The pier was closed to public access in 2001 due to damage caused by the storm of January 11, 2001. Currently, the only remnants of the pier which remain are twenty-one pilings and the pier framing. The City received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to repair the public pier. A condition of the grant is that the construction be completed by the end of January 2014, but the City is seeking an extension of that deadline.
The OMIT (Outreach, MLK, IT, Transportation) Committee will hold a public hearing on Thursday, December 12 at 6:00pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall to discuss the community's desire for a public pier at the existing pier location, and what it should look like, given code constraints (which require the portion of the rebuilt pier over water to be elevated, and access to the higher level provided).
How to get involved, ask questions or view the plans: Come to the OMIT meeting on December 12! You can also e-mail Lilly Schinsing, Administrative Analyst or call her at: (415) 289-4134. You can also hand deliver a letter to the Administration Department, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, CA 94965, prior to the meeting.
Tree Tip for December 2013
Considerations for Tree and Shrub Plantings
Tree and shrub selection can be critical to the beauty and value of your property. Thus, care in choosing with knowledge of a plant's characteristics, growth patterns, and siting will ensure years of beauty and enjoyment. Some general parameters may aid this process:
• Is your tree or shrub evergreen or deciduous; or, even an "undesirable" species as defined by Sausalito ordinance?
• Is the plant slow or fast growing (more than 3 feet of growth in one year)?
• Are you planting in a public right of way or utility easement?
• How will the planting affect your own or your neighbors' light and views in one, five or twenty years?
• What will be the annual costs of pruning and maintenance?
• Is the plant appropriate for Sausalito's coastal zone? What are its water and light needs?
• Is your tree or shrub evergreen or deciduous; or, even an "undesirable" species as defined by Sausalito ordinance?
• Is the plant slow or fast growing (more than 3 feet of growth in one year)?
• Are you planting in a public right of way or utility easement?
• How will the planting affect your own or your neighbors' light and views in one, five or twenty years?
• What will be the annual costs of pruning and maintenance?
• Is the plant appropriate for Sausalito's coastal zone? What are its water and light needs?
The advice of a good plant specialist, nursery or arborist may prove invaluable. A perusal of Sausalito's Tree and View Ordinance may be highly instructive and informative. For more information, visit the web site or contact Administrative Analyst Lilly Schinsing at firstname.lastname@example.com or (415) 289-4134.

The south already constitutes a large segment of our military.
I think it's great that the south has this consensus that the rest of the country/world thinks they are tough as nails, crazy, ironmen.
Unfortunately, nobody outside the south thinks this way. Nobody is in awe of the south. Nobody is afraid of the south. I like the south. Of course I'm going to poke fun but that's just human nature. We all rib those who are a bit different.
Marksmanship don't matter squat in war time scenarios besides snipers. So southern gun expertise wouldn't really matter much. People indiscriminately shoot in military battles.....just like the guys in Philly and Bridgeport
Good Lord look at our military might and technology..........and we haven't won a war since World War II. You can't win a war by selectively invading a country. Invade it or don't. You can't worry aboot collateral damage. Stop making targets out of our boys, and invade the damn country. No remorse and no selective targets. Anyone wearing a bathrobe is fair game. Women, you bes' get back in the kitchen and out of the armed services.

Once again, the beef checkoff partnered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) to reach nutrition thought-leaders, including registered dietitians and other credentialed health professionals and media at the recent 2012 Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual Food and Nutrition Conference & Expo in Philadelphia, Penn.
More than 300 participants of the conference attended a checkoff-funded educational session entitled, "From Farm to Fork: The Evolution of Our Favorite Foods." This session featured Drs. Tom Field and Nancy Rodriguez who presented a look at interventions made by producers of today's food in response to changes in dietary guidance to make nutrient rich foods like beef more widely accessible. A spotlight was placed on modern beef production and changes in breeding, feeding and trimming that have resulted in leaner beef choices.
"Many of the people we reached are corporate nutritionists, so not only are we reaching 'private practice' audience but those who influence the nutrition education for thousands of employees," says Jeanne Harland, beef producer from Illinois and vice chairman of the checkoff's Joint Nutrition and Health Committee. Harland was on hand to greet visitors to the booth and help answer questions about beef production. "I can't think of a better return on investment than spending 20 minutes talking with somebody who might have that scope of influence. And it's about relationships – maintaining the checkoff's relationship with dietitians and health professionals is extremely important because they know the checkoff has science-based research and that's who they turn to for the facts."
Checkoff dollars also supported a prominent exhibit at this year's conference and this provided an opportunity to distribute more than 5,000 beef nutrition resources such as information about the Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet (BOLD) study. Booth visitors also enjoyed samples of heart healthy recipes from The Healthy Beef Cookbook like Sirloin with Sugar Snap Pea and Pasta Salad with Gremolata Dressing and Sirloin Sandwich with Red Onion and Dried Fruit Marmalade.
In addition, the beef checkoff helped support the Academy Foundation gala dinner, which provided nearly 650 leaders in the nutrition community with a nutrient-rich meal featuring lean beef tenderloin at the center of the plate. New this year was an invitation-only educational breakfast session attended by prominent nutrition leaders who heard presentations about research supporting beef's role in a heart healthy diet by Dr. Tia Rains and registered dietitian Betsy Hornick. This was followed with a tabletop discussion facilitated with the help of state beef council registered dietitians from Kansas, Nebraska and New York.
"I was thinking about the large impact our checkoff dollars have had – there were more than 11,000 people at this conference," says Harland. "If I took all the dollars I've paid into the checkoff over my farming career, I couldn't even buy them all a cup of coffee. But to have the ability to share our credible information with this group, like the commercials say, it's priceless."
This event will be held in Houston, Texas, in October 2013.

The low down on the key facts from this competition is as follows:- Huge controversy over Anett Pötzsch winning the Gold medal. Many still believe that Linda Fratianne should have won, whereas others (including myself) believe that Denise Biellmann should have won as she had yet again been held back by the School Figures. Here is an article which goes into the controversy in some detail: Article - Sonia Bianchetti This article refers to one by Doug Mattis called "Does The Pig Have Wings" which I read many years ago, but no long seems to exist on the internet. If anybody does know where a copy exists on the net, please do post a link to it. That way, people can read two different sides to the debate (albeit that given the nature of the controversy and the fact that at least 3 different skaters could have won the Gold, there are many more sides to the argument than that) Linda Fratianne was the first Ladies figure skater to successfully execute 2 different kinds of triple jumps (done in an earlier competition) - the triple toe loop and the triple salchow. Like Biellmann, she suffered from the continued presence of the compulsories during her era, but nowhere near to the same extent. Robin Cousins wins Gold. However, he would only win Silver at the following world championships and would never ultimately become a world champion. Like Biellmann, he was yet another casualty of the School Figures. However, he won the short program and free skate decisively enough at the 1980 Olympics to overcome his 4th place finish in the compulsories. 1978 World Champion, Charles Tickner, overcame his disappointment at finishing fourth at the 1979 World Championships, to win Olympic bronze. 1979 World Champion, Vladimir Kovalev, could only finish 5th in the compulsories and withdrew from the competition Irina Rodnina wins her third consecutive Gold medal in the pairs, making her one of the most successful figure skaters of all time. She won her first Olympic gold in 1972 with Alexei Ulanov and then won her next two with Alexander Zaitsev. 1979 World Champions, Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner, were the favourites going into the Olympic pairs competition. However, Randy Gardner suffered a groin injury which worsened in the month leading up to the Olympics. Hence, when the pair stepped onto the ice for the warm-up, he found that he could not apply any weight onto his leg. Accordingly, Babilonia and Gardner had to withdraw. Extremely unfortunate. After winning Gold at both the 1978 and 1979 world championships, Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponosov win Olympic Gold in the Ice Dance. Like Cousins, however, they would win only silver at the 1980 Worlds. Consequently, they became the only ice dancers to ever fail to retain their world title after having won the Olympics. The 1980 Olympics were staged at Lake Placid in New York. This was the second time that Lake Placid had held the winter Olympics. The first was in 1932 where Sonja Henie won the second of her three Gold Medals in the Ladies competition. Here are the videos from the Olympic competitions of the gold, silver, & bronze medal winning performances from all 4 disciplines:- Mens Gold: Robin Cousins - GBR Short Program Free Skate Free Skate - Another Copy Silver: Jan Hoffmann - East Germany Short Program Unfortunately, no video exists of Jan Hoffmann's free skate. Should anyone know where one exists on the net or can upload a copy to YouTube, please do so Bronze: Charles Tickner - USA Short Program Free Skate Ladies Gold: Anett Pötzsch - East Germany Short Program Free Skate Silver: Linda Fratianne - USA Short Program Free Skate Gala Bronze: Dagmar Lurz - West Germany Short Program Free Skate Gala 4th: Denise Biellmann - Switzerland Short Program & Free Skate Free Skate Gala Pairs Gold: Irina Rodnina & Alexander Zaitsev - USSR Short Program Long Program Silver: Marina Cherkasova & Sergei Shakhrai - USSR No Video's Available - If anybody knows of any on the net or is able to upload them on to YouTube, please do so.

WATCH: Justin Bieber stumbles in DUI jail video
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Here it is ... the footage of Justin Bieber in jail last month following his DUI arrest ... the same footage Bieber tried to keep out of the public eye ... but it may actually HELP him.
The video shows Bieber taking a sobriety test while inside the jail facility -- trying to walk a straight line.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... this particular clip is their best evidence Bieber was under the influence -- because he misses a couple steps. Watch the video and judge for yourselves.
As TMZ reported, Justin's lawyers tried to block the release of the footage -- after video surfaced of him getting patted down in jail -- but the judge told them to pound sand.

This thread might be the fix your looking for,
Hope it works, let us know
Hi everyone,
I have an "stupid" issue in my laptop and i cant fix it.
I install Backtrack 5 with a external monitor plugged and works fine, but when i unplugged the external monitor my laptop monitor get black.. when i startup the laptop and run backtrack i get back image too.. So i only can use Backtrack with external Monitor.
Anyone can help me with this issue?
This thread might be the fix your looking for,
Hope it works, let us know
Thanks m8, i'll try and report asap
Ok. I try that fix and dont work either. Now when i log Backtrack without the external Monitor my screen show a mix of colours, like a problem with graphic card.. But when i plugged the external monitor, Backtrack just work fine. I have W7 too and that's no problem with my Graphic Card (Nvidia GeForce GT 520M)
Hi Toxiside, sounds like we are on the right track, err at least troubleshooting. So we've gone to blank, to mix of colors if I understand correctly. May I ask for a bit more information on your system. Also, does the system load and display on your monitor with the liveCD/USB? Particularly what kind of video graphics are you running? ex: Dual graphics intel/radeon/geforce etc. Can you also let us know, what the output of this code shows:
Hopefully this will tell us the type of card in your system. I'm thinking it maybe a simple problem like needing to blacklist something, or using an updated driver.Code:lspci | grep -i vga
Please post the output of xrandr and one question: are you using Propietary drive or nouveau?...

2010 Dance Marathon sets fundraising record
Dance Marathon at the University can be defined in simple terms: It's an event where students have fun while doing a good deed.
The 2010 Dance Marathon, held this past weekend, raised nearly $140,000 for Palmetto Health Children's Hospital.
Dance Marathon is not a competition and does not even require the ability to dance. While dancers are taught a fun and easy line dance throughout the course of the event—which lasts exactly 24 hours—they also take part in fun-filled games and contests. They also enjoy entertainment from musicians, comedians, and performance groups. Dancers are visited by miracle families, who share their touching stories with the dancers and remind students that what they are doing is making a difference in the lives of others.
Dance Marathon is the largest student-run philanthropy on campus. It is an annual 24-hour event held in February that celebrates the culmination of efforts to raise financial and emotional support for the patients of Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, located here in Columbia. The hospital is a member of the Children's Miracle Network and is the largest freestanding children's hospital in the state, serving over 80,000 children throughout South Carolina.
In 2009, Dance Marathon involved more than 1,100 students and raised more than $111,000 for Palmetto Health Children's Hospital. Currently in its twelfth year of existence, Dance Marathon at USC has raised over $700,000 to help improve the lives of over 80,000 children throughout the state.

Unraveling the Mechanisms Behind Organ Regeneration in Zebrafish
The search for the holy grail of regenerative medicine— the ability to "grow back" a perfect body part when one is lost to injury or disease—has been under way for years, yet the steps involved in this seemingly magic process are still poorly understood.
Now researchers at the Salk Institute have identified an essential cellular pathway in zebrafish that paves the way for limb regeneration by unlocking gene expression patterns last seen during embryonic development. They found that a process known as histone demethylation switches cells at the amputation site from an inactive to an active state, which turns on the genes required to build a copy of the lost limb.
"This is the first real molecular insight into what is happening during limb regeneration," says first author Scott Stewart, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, who led the Salk team. "Until now, how amputation is translated into gene activation has been like magic. Finally we have a handle on a process we can actually follow."
Their findings help explain how epimorphic regeneration—the regrowing of morphologically and functionally perfect copies of amputated limbs—is controlled, an important step toward understanding why certain animals can do it and we cannot.
"Our experiments show that normal development and limb regeneration are controlled by similar mechanisms," explains Izpisúa Belmonte, a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory. "This finding will help us to ask more specific questions about mammalian limb regeneration: Are the same genes involved when we amputate a mammalian limb? If not, what would happen if we turned them on? And if we can affect these methylation marks in an amputated limb, what effect would that have?"

If you are anything like me, you are pretty darn busy this week. Midterms + Thesis?? Yikes!! So in keeping with the spirit of the week, I will try to keep this first blog post short and sweet. In this post, I wanted to highlight the importance of visiting Career Services at least once before graduation, particularly if you don't have your plans for life beyond the FitzRandolph Gate figured out (if you do, congratulations!!!). Below are some of the most common reasons students give for not visiting Career Services, followed by my comments on how visiting Career Services would actually be beneficial for these students:
- "I have no idea what I want to do after graduation, so coming in to Career Services would be unproductive." – Not at all! On the contrary, Career Services can help you figure out what types of industries & jobs you are a good fit for. Career Services offers a variety of self-assessments and career inventories that can help you identify your interests, strengths, and work environment preference (http://www.princeton.edu/career/alumni/career-planning/career-inventories/). These assessments are always followed up by a one-hour conversation with a counselor to interpret the results. Beyond these formal assessments, the counselors at Career Services also have years of experience, empathy, and above all, honest advice to share with students. I know from personal experience that meeting with counselors and brainstorming about potential areas of interest can be a powerful tool in helping to identify what you feel passionate about – it was through the advice of one of the counselors, who motivated me to "pursue my interests and seek a job in the industry that you are passionate about" that I decided to make the transition from financial services to technology consulting for my full-time job, and I couldn't be any happier about my decision.
- "I already know what I want to do after graduation, so there is nothing for me to gain from Career Services." – If you already have a game plan in mind for life after graduation, that's great! But this is only the first of many steps. The vast majority of full-time positions require you to submit a resume (http://www.princeton.edu/career/graduates/toolkit2/resumes/resume-tips/) in order for your candidacy to be considered, and many employers also require you to include a cover letter (http://www.princeton.edu/career/alumni/job_search/cover-letters/). From personal experience, I can say that it is almost impossible to put together the perfect resume or cover letter on your first go. Even if you have a 4.0 GPA, are heavily involved in numerous interesting extracurricular activities, and speak 10 languages fluently, it is likely that some employers will throw your resume or cover letter out if it is poorly formatted or undersells your experiences. The career counselors at Career Services can help you overcome these potential pitfalls and put together the perfect resume & cover letter so that you can give potential future employers the best possible first impression.
- "Career Services can only help students interested in certain industries." – This is not true at all. The career counselors at Career Services have years of expertise in advising students interested in a wide range of different industries (http://www.princeton.edu/career/about_us/meet_our_staff/). Moreover, they are willing to go out of their way to help students, even when they are not directly familiar with the industries at hand. Although none of the career counselors knew about microfinance or internships in Chile during my internship search in sophomore year, they went out of their way to do research on the field in order to give me some pointers to make sure I could submit a solid application. Furthermore, a friend who wanted to find a summer internship in China for the summer after graduation ended up finding one through suggestions put forth by a Career Services counselor. No matter what your area of interest is, counselors at Career Services are committed to helping you succeed in your job hunt.
- "It's too late in the year to go in/ I don't have time/ I will figure it out by myself after I graduate." – It's not too late. You can spare 30 minutes. And will you really be able to find a job with no one's help? The numbers say otherwise. One of the things that impressed me the most about working at Career Services over the past 3 years is the great number of young alums who call to ask for help in finding a job or consolidating other post-graduation plans. While these graduates typically have different areas of interest, nearly all of them share one striking similarity – prior to that phone call, they had never interacted with Career Services. Coincidence? I think not. To be sure, career counselors are always happy to speak with and help Princeton alumni. However, it's undeniable that it is much more difficult to build rapport and develop a strong relationship with a counselor if your interactions are limited to over-the-phone conversations. Furthermore, it goes without saying that editing resumes and cover letters is a task that is done much more easily face-to-face. By meeting with a career counselor before leaving Princeton, you can avoid the hurdles that accompany starting the job hunt after leaving life in the Orange Bubble.
So there you have it, seniors. There's really no reason to procrastinate getting your job hunt off to a good start. Close out of Facebook, get off PrincetonFML, and stop watching Jenna Marbles videos. Making an appointment is super easy – just call Career Services at 609-258-3325 or schedule online at www.princeton.edu/career. Alternatively, come to walk-in hours from 3-5 PM Mondays through Fridays (the sign-up sheet goes out at 2:45 PM, so I suggest getting there a bit early). Look forward to your calls!
P.S. In the coming weeks, Career Services will be sending a preliminary survey to the senior class to get a sense of where their career interests and plans are at this point. The primary purpose of this survey is to better understand the needs of the senior class so that counselors can address them more efficiently in the coming months. Seniors, this is your chance to communicate with Career Services and let them know what YOU need help with so that they can be better equipped to help – don't pass it up! Be sure to complete the survey when it comes out.

This was the first time I've stayed in Montego Bay. Thoroughly enjoyed this lovely property. In addition to a really warm and friendly feeling (like everyone is family), it was a week before Christmas and a very festive atmosphere. I was especially intrigued by the fact that the very first employee of Sandals still works on this property.
Room Number:
Room Block:
Upon arrival we were immediately whisked off the bus to the concierge lounge and quickly settled into our gorgeous room.
Tropical, Spacious, spotless. Wifi was only retreivable from the balcony, but not a major issue...it's Jamaica and we had a beautiful oceanview.
Especially enjoyed the walk-in closet, bar and double sink vanity.
Restaurants and Bars:
Exceptional dining at all restaurants on the property, beach grill included. Really enjoyed the Tokyo Joes experience. Service and fare was so impressive at the Oleander, we dined there twice.
Red Stripe is back at Sandals after a brief hiatus. Not so lucky with Appleton....it's still being substituted with ElDorado. I find it rather outlandish that the biggest hotel chain in Jamaica can't resolve its issues with the biggest rum distributor. Enough already!
Bar tending and wait staff are among the best I've encountered on vacation.
Spent most evenings in the Cricketer's Pint Pub enjoying the ambiance and fantastic service.
Two very small pools on property, well maintained. Great loungers and fresh, plush towels. The beach is long and lovely. Grounds are lush and groundskeepers are always on site primping.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Did the chukka tours jeep safari, about $80 pp. Highly recommend. Poor weather during our stay prohibited water sports. Spa is great alternative for red flag days. Red Lane provides top notch spa services.
Evening entertainment was fantastic every night. Especially memorable evening was with local entertainer Peter Lloyd. Amazing!
Other Comments:
Shuttle to Sandals Royal Caribbean runs all day. Spent one day at SRC checking out property and taking in a few rare rays on the clothing optional private island.
Hated to leave. Will return to this property for certain.

Arrival: October 2009
My friend and I stayed at the Sandals at the end of our work conference in Montego Bay. We unfortunately had only 2 days there, but they were the best 2 days of the entire trip.
The Hotel is gorgeous. The grounds are spotless and it is designed beautifully and intimately to make every area a place you want to enjoy. The rooms are sweet, clean and elegant. The beds are comfortable (hard to find at most all-inclusives). The Air Conditioning worked perfectly. We were upgraded to a ground floor room and our doors opened right out to the Ocean - WOW!
The pools are lovely and clean, the drinks are top quality and fantatic. All the staff was friendly, happy and did their best to help in any situation. As to the food, now that was spectacular. It was as good as any food you would find in a 5 star restaurant in London or Vancouver. Just amazing. Every single meal was a dining treat. I would go back to this and any other Sandals resort in a heartbeat. Next time though, I will bring my husband, as Sandals really is a romantic place for couples and it was hard to be there without him.
Missing Sandals already and looking forward to going back within the next 6 months to either a Sandals or a Beaches which I hear is just as good and lots more fun!
Only thing to note, it is adjacent to the Runway (as a few resorts are in Montego Bay), so you will hear about 12-15 planes going overhead, starting with the first at 7AM and the last at around 7PM.

Here we are in Sunny Jamaica Mon....No worries mon....all is good mon.....
Well,,,,,we wish it had started out that way!
When my husband presented this wonderful gift to me at Christmas, it had all the makings of luxury written all over it----Sandals Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Penthouse suite, beachfront...etc...but after flying all night (and me getting like maybe 1-2 hrs sleep tops) we arrive at our destination exhausted, only to stand for an hour and one half in line to go through customs. We are then escorted into a lovely holding room by the Sandals company until our bus arrives. About 1/2 hour later, we are taken to a small bus..(first event) The guy who took our bags 50 ft-wants a tip and wants my husband's attention. As he is talking, I nudge him, and so my husband hands him a twoonie, which is all he has on him. The guy refuses. My husband explains that that is all he has on him right now, Canadian coins. He then says NO COINS-ONLY PAPER MONEY. so my husband walks away as he says to me the lowest Canadian paper is a $5.00 which the guy probably knew and he was not getting that for walking 50 ft with the bags.
We drive for less than 10 min as it turns out our hotel is on the other side of the runway from the airport--(second heads up!)
We are checked into a room where we fill out papers and are told that our room is not ready..as we have arrived in the morning and we can't have the room till 3 pm...(it is about 10:30 am). Problem #3!!! We are very tired and just want to shower and have a sleep!!! So we go out and lay around in some chairs in the lobby-then we attend orientation, which we could hardly hear as she had no microphone and all the while JETS/airplanes kept flying overhead which drowned her out!!!!! ( #4) After this poor attempt at an orientation that was more of a selling job of the tours available, we went and grabbed a bite to eat. The buffet food selection was limited but tasty! As we were finished and were hanging around, my husband made a few attempts to get us into out room. They finally came up and said they got us our room. They tell us the phone in our room is not working, so they provide us with a mobile phone (#5) Great!!!off we go.... BUT...we were taken to not "705" but "621" instead (Problem#6). So not the penthouse suite, but one floor down. Oh my GOD!!!! Ok..now we are getting pissed off. My husband goes and checks out the difference between the rooms with a maid, and there is no difference only that you can HEAR the planes even more up there! So we decide to stay where we are ..later my husband tries the TV , well, the remote does not go to the TV, so it does not work! (#7)
And the planes keep on flying over head!!! Loud noise every 1/2 -1hr!!! Lovely!! Cuz we are RIGHT NEXT TO THE RUNWAY!!!! Did I mention this already? He is furious and very disappointed and so am I. We are also making a comparison to our last stay in the Bahai Principe in the Mayan Rivera, which was awesome!!!
My husband will have to have a chat with the travel agent when he gets back-as she was not our regular one unfortunately.
Next item that came up-no internet service -which he specifically requested and was told there would be in the room. (#8) OH boy!
We decide to go for a walk and we find that the beach is small and to be less than adequate. Very narrow beach (#9), with old and decrepit cement docks. On top of that, there are lots of panhandlers on the beach, selling stuff. Annoying! We-especially my husband-are not happy. As now that I have looked through a book in our room, and noticed the different Sandals resorts on the island, I suggest we switch to another one, like Nigril or Whitehouse, so he goes down to the manager and he finds a room available at Whithouse to which we will go to tomorrow.
We leave the next morning for the airport at 10:30 am to await the next bus to Whitehouse on the southwest coast, only to be informed that the next bus won't be till late afternoon???or if there will be anyone arriving for whitehouse that day AND we could not even wait in the airport!!!! We could have paid a $125 cab fair to get there if we wanted to, we were explained..(PROBLEM #10.)
As we were not allowed inside, we had to sit outside in a cafe. Finally the lovely lady representing Sandals felt bad for us and after 1/2 hour arranged for a bus to take us to Whitehouse- which is a 90 min drive, and they PAID. We had a fabulous driver by the name of Reynolds. We chatted, or I should be more precise and say, my husband and he did the whole way! Very entertaining though.
Whithouse Sandals Resort was definitely more what we were expecting. Beautiful pristine wide long unspoiled beaches!!! NO PLANES!!! No panhandlers and we had a much larger, newer room on the top floor with a spectacular view of the ocean and daily sunsets! This resort is only 3 yrs old where as Montego Bay was the original Sandals over 20 years ago and it sure showed!
Now it has not been with out trouble though,,,,the first thing was that first night as we were going to bed, I said to my husband the room was freezing. So he tried to up the tempurature but nothing changed over the course of 1 hour. Now we try to shut it off...no such luck! (Problem #11) OK-time to call housekeeping!!! The guy comes in 10 min!!! Ends up they have to replace the whole thermostat as it was kaput! We finally get a fabulous night sleep.
The next morning I go to make my coffee and the coffee maker won't work. DAM!!!!! I need my coffee!!! I call housekeeping and they come immediately and take it away---don't leave me another-to fix it. (Problem #12) So we go out for breakfast. The buffet place has closed (10:30) so we had to go to the restaurant next door, which was fine. Food is not available all day here. You have to eat at specific times more or less.
We have compared this resort to the experience we had this same time last year in Mexico at the Bahai Principe in the Mayan Rivera. It does not come close. We spent double the money to come here and it is half of what the Bahai is! Sandals fall short in so many ways. The only thing that I have found outstanding is the staff courtesy. They are very polite and come when needed. We have said we will never come to a Sandals resort again. We would definitely recommend somewhere else or try the Bahai principe in Jamaica if Jamaica is the place you want to go . ( check debbie's reviews & tripadvisor too.)

REDLANDS -- Nectar Clothing in downtown is seeking the public's help to collect jeans for the local non-profit organization Angels' Closet.
Through Jan. 31, store patrons can stop by to donate new or "worn once" skinny or straight leg jeans. Both the Redlands and Claremont Nectar shops are participating.
In turn, the store will donate the jeans to Angels' Closet, which helps dress low-income high school students in up-to-date fashions.
The store's goal is to collect at least 100 pair, said owner Tricia Kelly.
Kelly said she has worked with Angels' Closet for more than a year after discovering what the organization does for students.
Along with discounts on clothing purchases at the store, Kelly has donated damaged items to the non-profit. Those are repaired by a crew that restores items to their intended design.
Angels' Closet is spearheaded by Pat Williams and is located at Redlands East Valley High School.
Founded in 2008, the charity collects and then distributes new and gently used school clothes, formal and business attire, graduating cap and gowns and other necessities - from toiletries to shoes - to students in Redlands and surrounding cities, such as San Bernardino and Highland.
Portables set up on the REV campus provide a store-like experience where students can browse through merchandise and pick about five outfits at a time.
The goal is to build confidence in students who are unable to purchase the latest fashions or accessories.
"One of the coolest things about Angels' Closet is most all the kids that come to it are referred by their teachers," Kelly said.
Since the launch of the Nectar effort, several customers have stepped up to the plate to donate, and as a `Thank You,' Kelly and her staff give donors 15percent off their entire purchases through spring. Customers who buy denim from Nectar directly will receive 20 percent off the donation purchase.
Online customers who send in their donation will receive a $10 credit to shop online.
Those who donate directly to Williams can also receive a coupon for discounts, Kelly said.
Williams said the partnership between the store and her charity is a wonderful collaboration.
"I'm so grateful to Tricia for doing this. We have talked a lot about Angels' Closet and she's always been supportive of (it)," Williams said. "She has always been there for whatever we need."
Jeans for all sizes are sought.
"We try very hard to make sure that every person has something to wear every day of the week. We try very hard to raise funds...to purchase jeans. But you can't always buy a pair of jeans for less than $25," Williams said.
Kelly is hopeful her goal will be reached by the end of the month.
"Our customers have awesome hearts," she said. "I have a passion for what (Pat) does because she does it for nothing, and she has a heart for these high school kids."
Nectar is at 10 E. State St. in Redlands and 319 W. First St., Suite B, in Claremont.

PHOTO: Miley Cyrus covers 'Elle'
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus opens up in the May "Women in Music" issue of Elle about her childhood, depression, sex and much more.
The singer sat down with 17-year-old Rookie magazine founder Tavi Gevinson during the Phoenix stop on her BANGERZ tour, telling Gevinson she's come a long way since her days on "Hannah Montana" and her split from Liam Hemsworth.
Cyrus shares, "I'm really thankful that I started on Disney. I got the most intense training. There's times where I wish I could have just started as a new artist, but the world has kind of allowed me to do that. I feel really lucky — a lot of kid stars get all crazy or stuck in what they were, so they can't actually become what they're meant to be."
The star reveals, "When I went through a really intense breakup — you know, I was engaged — and when I was with him or when I was on Disney, the thing that gave me the most anxiety was not knowing what to do with myself when Disney wasn't there to carry me anymore or if I didn't have him."
She continues, "And now I'm free of both of those things, and I'm fine. Like, I lay in bed at night by myself and I'm totally okay, and that's so much stronger than the person three years ago, who would have thought they would have died if they didn't have a boyfriend."
Cyrus goes on to talk about her connection with her fans, saying its one of the most important aspects of her career.
The performer tells Gevinson, "I have guys and girls that come out, and they're like, 'The only reason I'm able to admit that I'm gay is because you've made me feel like that's okay.' That is so intense, because that is a part of this generation — it wasn't always accepted — and I feel like I am a big part of that change."
"Or they know that I've struggled with depression, and that helped them get over theirs,"
admits Cyrus, adding, "That gives me a big purpose — a reason to wake up in the morning that's bigger than to put on my f** king feathers and my little outfits."
The "We Can't Stop" singer goes on to discuss feminism, offering, "I'm just about equality, period. It's not like, I'm a woman, women should be in charge! I just want there to be equality for everybody."
Cyrus says she gets frustrated by the double standard among male and female artists, noting, "Guy rappers grab their crotch all f**king day and have hos around them, but no one talks about it. But if I grab my crotch and I have hot model b**ches around me, I'm degrading women? I'm a woman - I should be able to have girls around me! But I'm part of the evolution of that. I hope."
The issue hits newsstands on April 22.

After three years as Pomona's director of public works Daryl Grigsby is moving on.
This week he completed his service in Pomona and is preparing to take over the responsibilities as director of public works in San Luis Obispo later this month.
Grigsby said when the opportunity came up to interview for the position he took it since the Central Coast is an area where he would like to retire.
"Pomona has been a great place to work and I've thoroughly enjoyed it - in spite of the fiscal challenges," Grigsby said.
Grigsby said he's proud of the work the Public Works Department and its team completed in the last three years.
Among the most challenging projects was the Mission/71 Freeway interchange.
"When I got here (the city) still didn't have a right-of-way for a detour road," he said.
Some arrangements hadn't been completed, there were some design problems involving a traffic signal and the contractor on the job was ready to start work but couldn't move forward do to delays.
"We had a lot of hurdles to overcome," Grigsby said.
But with the assistance of City Engineer Ati Eskandari the project moved forward, was finished and is now one of the most prominent completed by the department, he said.
Among the many projects completed during his tenure is a new water treatment plant that will make it possible for the city to reactivate nine wells giving the city access to up to 16 million gallons of clean water a day.
He also played a part in replacing the city's fleet of outdated trash trucks with new, clean-burning compressed natural gas vehicles - and all without requiring an increase to customer trash rates.
Grigsby's contributions to the city have gone beyond maintaining the city's infrastructure. He has also worked to connect people during his time as a resident of Pomona.
One of those personal projects is Ride Around Pomona, also known as RAP. The bi-monthly Saturday morning rides brought everyone from children to seniors and many in between together for leisurely bike rides around different parts of the city.
"What I loved is we had a huge diversity of bike riders," said Grigsby who is a committed cyclist.
Yes, some are serious bike riders but most others are people who decided to try going for a casual bike ride.
As a result some people found they could leave their cars at home and use their bike to make short trips around the city on a daily basis, he said.
Pomona residents from across the city, from neighboring Claremont and Walnut, as well as Cal Poly students, artists from the Arts Colony and others participate in the rides that will continue being organizes by members of the Pomona Valley Bicycle Coalition, Grigsby said.
"The RAP was not a bike ride. It was just a rolling community," he said, adding it was an effort to build community and connect people with their neighbors.
Something that Grigsby also is proud of is his work tutoring third grade children at Barfield Elementary as part of a team from the Inland Valley Faith Consortium.
He was one of the few lay people who was part of the group that provide academic support to children who need some extra help.
The volunteer opportunity afforded him a way to lend a hand to young people just as others had done for him when he was growing up in Washington, D.C., Grigsby said.
"It was something very important to me in terms of the sense of giving back to the community," he said.
Grigsby said Pomona is place with generous, creative and talented residents who care about the city.
Many residents work to make Pomona a better place for families and others to live.
"There's people who do things you never hear about," he said.
Pomona has many positive people in it but often their efforts and good deeds are obscured by problems in the city.
"I would say in three years I probably met as many great people than any single three years in my life," he said.
During a recent City Council meeting resident Gwen Urey spoke about Grigsby briefly.
"He has left in the short years he has been here a legacy," she said.
From a forthcoming bike plan to water purification he completed many projects, Urey said.
"Thank you for having hired Daryl. We'll miss him."

Catch up: Testimony offers details in Aaron Sandusky medical marijuana trial | Opening statements begin in trial of operator of medical marijuana cooperatives | Medical marijuana trial for G3 Holistic president Aaron Sandusky starts Tuesday with jury selection
LOS ANGELES - G3 Holistic owner and Rancho Cucamonga resident Aaron Sandusky, 41, was convicted of two counts of violating federal marijuana laws Friday by a jury which could not reach a decision on four other counts.
Conviction on the two counts could still net him a prison term of 10 years to life when he is sentenced on Jan. 7 in U.S. District Court.
Sandusky, who ran G3 Holistic, Inc. in Upland, Colton and Moreno Valley, was found guilty of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana plants, to possess with intent to distribute marijuana plants, and to maintain a drug-involved premises; and one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana plants, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.
On each count of conviction, according to the release, the jury found Sandusky's crimes involved at least 1,000 marijuana plants.
Sandusky's attorney Roger Jon Diamond said the charges were a result of a federal raid on Nov. 1, 2011, at the G3 Ontario warehouse facility where marijuana was being grown to supply the dispensaries.
Jurors told Judge Percy Anderson on Friday that they could not reach a decision on the other four counts regarding the operation of the medicinal marijuana dispensaries by G3.
The other counts, according to the DOJ release, charged Sandusky with maintaining drug-involved premises at each of G3's marijuana stores in Upland, Colton and Moreno Valley and G3's marijuana grow warehouse in Ontario.
Sandusky, who had been free on bail, was taken into custody after the proceedings.
After the trial's end, Diamond said he was disappointed with the verdicts, "just given the fact we could not put on any evidence that we had."
Anderson had prohibited any discussion of the conflicts between California and federal marijuana laws in the case.
Diamond said he plans to appeal the verdicts after the sentencing in January.
Earlier, he said the federal government led his client to believe that the executive branch would not enforce federal medical marijuana law in California. State voters in 1996 approved Proposition 215, which allows the use and sale of medical marijuana.
President Barack Obama said in 2008 that the federal government would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries in states that had legalized it, Diamond said. Attorney General Eric Holder supported Obama's position, Diamond said.
On Friday, federal prosecutors Jay Robinson and Nick Pilgrim did not comment about the outcome.
Sandusky's supporters were surprised by the verdicts.
"I'm so shocked." said supporter Buryldean Andrews, of Montclair, who attended the trial. "Just the fact that they would not give him the chance to hug us goodbye."
Andrews, who uses medical marijuana to mitigate side effects resulting from having breast cancer, shingles and nerve damage after surgery, said she felt the decision was too harsh.
"It's a (federal) Schedule 1 drug. It shouldn't be nowhere near that (severe a sentence)," she said.
She added that she felt John Leslie Nuckolls II, 31, of Rialto, who was a founder and owner of G3 and who has called himself the CFO of G3, was an informant who "entrapped" Sandusky.
Nuckolls, who denied being a confidential informant for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in testimony, said he spoke with and worked for the agency, the county District Attorney's Office and the DEA.
Defense attorney Robison added Nuckolls had an agreement with the DA's Office in June 2009 and after helping the office with cases he had a felony charge dismissed.
"I'm disappointed in Johnny," Andrews said. "I feel Aaron was set up."
Chuck Neault Sr., 67, of Chino, a G3 patient was also upset because he felt the judge severely limited Sandusky's testimony by not allowing him to discuss Obama's position or California's medical marijuana law.
"They call this justice?" said Neault, who has a medical marijuana prescription for multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia and more, and uses a wheelchair. "Where a man can't even talk?"
Jurors were presented the case late Thursday and returned at 8 a.m. Friday.
The jury informed the judge Friday morning that they were struggling to reach unanimous decisions.
Later, the jury asked the court for Sandusky's testimony to be read to them.
They also asked the court if verdicts on some individual charges are independent of each other. The court responded that they were.
Sandusky was one of six people connected to G3 who were indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2012, according to the DOJ release.
The other defendants, who each pleaded guilty prior to trial, were:

Hunt ISD to Consider Arming Teachers
The Hunt ISD, in Kerr County, will decide tonight whether they want to be the latest school district to allow teachers and other district employees who have completed the Concealed Handgun License class and have undergone extra training to carry their guns in the classroom, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Kerr County Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer says it's a good idea, especially since it is quite a ways from his office in Kerrville to the Hunt ISD.
"It's in a remote, smaller area, even though I have officers up around that area all the time, you know how these things are," Hierholzer told 1200 WOAI's Michael Board. "You never know what's going to happen, and when."
Hunt would join a growing list of mainly small town and rural school districts to allow specially trained teachers, administrators, and school support personnel who have passed rigorous testing to carry guns in the classroom. The move toward 'arming the good guys' gained added momentum following the Sandy Hook school massacre in December.
Hierholzer says his office would be willing to help with the training.
"If they're going to have armed personnel in the school, law enforcement in that area definitely needs to know who those people are," he said.
Figures show that in the 15 years since concealed carry laws were approved in Texas, people who hold CHL's are responsible for less that two tenths of one percent of all of the crimes committed in the state, making them among the most lad abiding groups of people in Texas.
