The Integrated Healthcare Association honored five physician organizations within the Sutter Medical Network for improving the quality and affordability of medical care. Honors went to:
A medical team with Sutter-affiliated Palo Alto Medical Foundation restored the seriously injured shoulder of a hang gliding legend.
Four physician organizations within Sutter Medical Network received "elite" or "commendable" ratings from the California Association of Physician Groups in an annual Standards of Excellence survey. This survey evaluates how effectively a medical group delivers high-quality affordable care and a positive patient experience. The following groups earned highest ratings:
Gould Medical Group (GMG) received the 2011 Acclaim Award from the American Medical Group Association. One of just four medical groups nationwide singled out for this honor, GMG has significantly improved patient satisfaction and clinical quality. The award honors physician-directed organizations nationwide for their work to make health care safer, more reliable, more responsive, more integrated and more readily available for patients.
The California Department of Managed Health Care honored Gould Medical Group and Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Mills-Peninsula Division for excellence in helping patients manage high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
Palo Alto Medical Foundation's cancer treatment program became one of the nation's first to meet the rigorous standards of the new Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) Certification Program. Through QOPI, the American Society of Clinical Oncology recognizes oncology practices for excellent patient care.
Three Sutter-affiliated care facilitiesAlta Bates Summit Medical Center, California Pacific Medical Center and Sutter Medical Center, Sacramentolanded on U.S. News & World Report's regional "top hospital" list. These hospitals received high peer ratings for care excellence in selected medical specialties, including cancer; ear, nose & throat; gynecology; gastroenterology; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics and urology.
Mills-Peninsula Health Services was ranked among the top 65 hospitals in the nation for quality patient care. The rating came from The Leapfrog Group, a consortium of large employers that challenges health care providers to make significant "leaps" in health care safety, quality and customer value.
Six Sutter-affiliated hospitals received "top performer" ratings on key quality measures from The Joint Commission. The commission serves as the nation's leading accrediting agency for health care organizations. Our hospitals earned honors for evidence-based treatment approaches to heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and children's asthma, among other conditions. "Top performers" included:
The Sutter Heart & Vascular Institute's Heart Failure Clinic, located in Sacramento, became the first program in the nation to receive Joint Commission certification under new heart-failure treatment standards. The new standards require medical teams to safely and successfully transition heart-failure patients from hospital care to outpatient care.
Eight of our affiliated hospitals earned a "Certificate of Excellence" from the California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Task Force (CHART). Every year, CHART recognizes outstanding performance in 50 health care quality categories among California hospitals. In 2011, only 29 hospitals in the state received CHART awards. Hospitals honored within Sutter Health were:
Thomson Reuters, a nationally recognized research company, named Sutter Davis Hospital one of the top 100 hospitals in the nation, based on organizational performance. In California, only three other hospitals landed on this list. This marks the second time for Sutter Davis Hospital to receive this prestigious honor. In addition, for the second year in a row, Sutter Davis was honored by the California Council on Performance Excellence for innovation, service and performance excellence.
For the 10th consecutive year, the National Research Corporation honored Sutter-affiliated Memorial Medical Center in Modesto with the Consumer Choice Award. The hospital's Acute Multi Care Unit (AMCU) also received the Beacon Award for Excellence, Gold Status, from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN). The award comes after a nearly three-year period of rigorously evaluating and improving processes in the unit, based on multiple measures.
Leaders within our network of care received 2011 Health Care Heroes awards from regional Business Journal publications. Our professionals earned this distinction for outstanding leadership, groundbreaking innovations and patient-centered care.
For three years in a row, MyLifeStages.orgour interactive website for womenwon a gold award for "Best Interactive Consumer Site," as part of the annual eHealthcare Leadership Awards. MyLifeStages features a variety of online health and wellness resources and tools, including an "Ask the Expert" column, plus videos, blogs, quizzes, articles and listings of community health classes.

Synthesis and Ability of New Ligands for G Protein-Coupled Receptors 17 (GPR17)

GPR17 is believed to be a novel target for the development of new therapeutic approaches to human stroke and multiple sclerosis. Hence, the selection of GPR17 ligands may be a potent way to reduce the progression of ischemic damage.
New potential ligands for GPR17, mono-, di-, and triphosphate adenosine nucleotides substituted at N6-position with a methyl and a cyclopentyl group were synthesized. The ability of new ligands to bind GPR17 was evaluated using frontal affinity chromatography-mass spectrometry (FAC-MS) method. Cangrelor, MRS2179, and uridine diphosphate were selected as the reference compounds.
The new triphosphate derivatives 9 and 10 were considered as the new GPR17 ligands. The compound 10 was eluted with breakthrough time (bt) between cangrelor and MRS 2179 (compound 10, bt=12.25; cangrelor, bt=24.55, and MRS 2179, bt=7.10), while the breakthrough volume of compound 9 was similar to that of MRS 2179 (compound 9, bt=7.53 and MRS 2179, bt=7.10).
N6-cyclopentyATP 10 is medium-high affinity ligand of GPR17, while the corresponding N6-methyl derivative 9 is a medium affinity ligand similar to MRS 2179. Hence, the new N6-cyclopentylATP 10 might be a good candidate for the pharmacological characterization of GPR17.

Almost 25 year track record of offering support and opportunity to London's property investors. Delivering luxury new homes in London and far beyond since 1990.
Following a competitive bidding process, West Ham United selected Galliard Group as the purchaser for the site ahead of a number of other national and international companies. The Club was impressed with Galliard's links to the local community and our commitment to honouring the history of the Hammers at the Boleyn Ground as part of the proposed development. The new village, which will have a construction programme of some 30 months, has an anticipated completion date of late 2018.
A partnership between Frogmore and Galliard Homes completed the purchase of Baltimore Tower – a landmark 46-storey residential tower.
Galliard Homes was absolutely delighted when Marconi House won 'Best Large Development' in the prestigious Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2013.
The launch of our Platinum Collection; a group of developments in London's most desirable locations. Included in this collection are prestigious W1 addresses at Great Cumberland Place, Portland Place and Chiltern Street.
The conversion and refurbishment of this Listed building in Central London's Strand, once home to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, took place between 2010 and 2012, in partnership with Frogmore.
Together with Frogmore, Galliard Homes acquired a former car park site on Chiltern Street. Permission was later granted to develop 44 ultra-luxury apartments which will be known as 'The Chilterns', completing in 2015.
The Drayton Park development is part of the regeneration of the area surrounding Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. As part of the sales offering some purchasers were given the bonus of an Arsenal season ticket. This hugely successful sales release was attended by hundreds of people and the development sold out in one weekend.
Galliard purchased a whole peninsular site close to the Cutty Sark. Now known as New Capital Quay, it has water on three sides. The sales release took place in September 2007 and was attended by thousands of people. More than 400 apartments were sold in just one weekend.
By offering hotel suites as an investment for the first time, the Park Plaza Hotel County Hall was a pioneering project for both Galliard and the market. The hotel is built on part of the original County Hall GLC headquarters site.
Bermondsey's regeneration began when Galliard purchased a complete street of townhouses just off the Old Kent Road and replaced them with new houses on the original footprints. The development was so favourably received by the buying public that the regeneration of the whole area can be traced back to this pioneering project.
This is the redevelopment of a converted office building formally occupied by Shell and known as The Shell. Downstream Building was one of the most popular riverside conversions to happen. Potential purchasers queued for almost two weeks.
Galliard Homes was able to purchase the North and South blocks of the former GLC headquarters at County Hall opposite the Houses of Parliament. The launch was an historic event; purchasers queued for 10 days prior to the sales release. Everyone was anxious to own a piece of London history.
Burrells Wharf is a spectacular conversion of Victorian warehouses, comprising many different blocks. On the site there's a statue of the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806 – 1859). Amongst his many achievements, this engineering genius designed the track layout, track, rolling stock and tunnels for the Great Western Railway.
Galliard Homes was the first developer to return to Docklands after the early 1990s' property crash. We purchased the completed development from the receivers and took it to market. The response was tremendous and the development virtually sold out on the release weekend.
'In the early 1990s, the London property market was finding its feet again and I was looking for my next challenge. I joined forces with the late John Black to see if we could take advantage of the emerging opportunities. Our first project was a development of 110 apartments in Enfield. The nearest main road was Galliard Road and so Galliard Homes was born.'

Shell Australia chairman
The sometimes taut exchange between Western Australian politicians and Shell representatives on Wednesday highlighted the competing interests linked to the massive Browse Basin resource, which has pitted the state against the Commonwealth and unions against environmentalists.
At the WA inquiry, Labor's
After a strained exchange, Mr Smith said: "We talked to many people. They are private discussions."
Shell was seen as the driving force among the Woodside Petroleum-led Browse partners to employ floating LNG technology.
WA's bipartisan opposition to floating LNG is strongly backed by unions, that claim a floating project – where a facility "floats" above an offshore gas field – would result in thousands fewer construction jobs than the previously proposed onshore facility at James Price Point on the Kimberley coast.
Environmentalists generally oppose an onshore facility, and the Commonwealth – which receives the petroleum resources rent tax regardless – has been willing to accommodate the Browse joint-venture partners' move away from onshore to offshore. The Browse development is complicated by the existence of gas leases located in both federal and state waters, although most of the gas is in the federal leases. Governments have the authority to strip the leases, or not renew them, if various conditions aren't adhered to.
Mr Smith said the option was between floating LNG or no LNG.
Onshore 'not economic'
"Our view was that James Price Point onshore was not economic," he said.
He said that floating LNG projects represented about a 30 per cent discount in capital expenditure to their onshore equivalents. He said the sector was under pressure from cheaper sources of gas from Africa and North America.
The joint-venture partners scrapped the plan to build an LNG plant for Browse gas at the remote site in April, a project now expected to have cost much more than the $45 billion widely assumed.
Woodside and BP representatives have previously told the inquiry that an onshore development at James Price Point was "not commercially viable".
The inquiry's committee members have repeatedly sought clarification on what the partners meant by that.
WA Liberal
"It's a hypothetical question, I can't answer that," Mr Smith said.
"In terms of Browse, it made the difference between a project that was not economically viable to one we hope will become commercially viable."

Two decades in, I can't imagine there's much to write about Worms that hasn't already been written. It's…Worms. Whatever cosmetic changes (and odd forays into mini-golf) there may have been since the series' inception in 1995, by this point, you pretty much know what you're getting when you pick up one of the games: worms + heavy artillery + destructible terrain = lots of fiery deaths and explosions. That's the Worms formula in a nutshell, and that's what you get if you pick up the franchise's Vita debut, Worms Revolution Extreme.
This, of course, means that all the positives and negatives associated with Worms are on full display here. Let's start with the bad: there's nothing about Worms Revolution Extreme that makes it an experience you need to have on the Vita. The controls are exactly the same as its PSP predecessors, Open Warfare and Open Warfare 2. Further, there's no incorporation of the front and back touchscreens, which seems like it should've been a no-brainer, if Angry Birds has taught us anything. On a related note, if we're talking about the PSP, it should also be said that Worms Revolution Extreme looks like it belongs on that system, since the blandly uninspired graphics look kind of hideous on the Vita's OLED screen.
It's not all bad news, though. For one thing, the game is as as addictive as ever. Every time I sat down to write this review, I'd invariably decide that I needed to play the game just one more time…and then, almost like clockwork, I'd look up and see that I'd suddenly lost an hour or two somewhere. At its core, Worms has always been almost as much about solving puzzles (albeit very explosive puzzles) as it has been about blowing your enemies to smithereens, and that's just as true this time out as it's ever been.
Basically, your enjoyment of Worms Revolution Extreme will come down to whether or not you're already a fan of the series. I hate to use such a cliché to describe a game, but it's especially true in this case — with nothing in the way of innovations here, it really does come down to how much you liked previous Worms games, and how much you want to have the series on-the-go (and, perhaps just as importantly, with Trophy support). If you're not a fan you can probably steer clear, but if you like Worms and want some new content, this should, at the very least, scratch that itch.

To help speed up Web browsing, Windows XP, Vista, and 7 come with a local cache containing any DNS addresses that have been looked up recently. (For more detail on how Internet addresses work, see this article.) Once an URL has been resolved by an Internet name server into a numerical IP, the information is stored locally. Anytime your browser requests an URL, Windows first looks in the local cache to see if it is there before querying the external name server used by your ISP. If it finds the resolved URL locally it uses that IP. This is supposed to save time and cut down on Web traffic
Clear the DNS resolver cache
A problem can arise if the IP for an URL changes or the DNS entry gets corrupted while it is still stored in the local cache. In this case an error message will result
if you try to connect to the URL. It is not a frequent occurrence but
is not unknown. Fortunately, it is possible to clear out the local DNS cache in order to
get around these types of problems. All current versions of Windows come with a useful
command-line utility ipconfig (discussed
that has a switch, flushdns,
for removing the entries in the cache.
Open a command prompt and enter
If you are curious about the contents of the DNS cache, they can be seen
by using another switch with ipconfig.
In this case open a command prompt and enter
Configure the DNS resolver cache in Windows XP
According to Microsoft, Windows XP keeps IPs in the DNS cache for a default time of 86,400 seconds or one day. (Various web browsers may actually use a shorter time.) This time period can be changed by reducing the Time to Live or TTL. This requires a Registry edit so should
be done only by those who know how to restore their Registry. The
Registry key that is involved is
Negative responses are another story. There is a default DNS caching of negative results for fifteen minutes, which would be neither convenient nor necessary. I often encounter Web sites that do not respond immediately but which are available after a short wait and a retry. Although different browsers may use different parameters, I see no reason to store negative responses in the DNS cache and I have tweaked my own Registry to prevent them from being entered. In this case create a DWORD value for the above Registry key and name it MaxNegativeCacheTtl. Set the value to "0" (zero). If you prefer to keep the negative responses, but with a shorter TTL, enter the appropriate number of seconds. The default TTL is 900 seconds.
I have been unable to find any Microsoft reference about the cache times in Windows Vista and Windows 7 so the discussion in this section pertains to Windows XP only.
How to stop DNS caching
Normally, DNS caching is useful and speeds up web browsing. Should you wish to temporarily disable it for diagnostic purposes, there are two different command-line ways to achieve this. Open a command prompt (elevated privileges required in Windows Vista or 7) and enter

The Queen is safely home at Buck House by now, her crown packed in bubble wrap again until next year, tucking into a well-deserved lunch fortified by a sherry, we can hope. Looking after the elderly is one recurring theme of this year's legislative programme, which was notably free of surprises that had not been extensively trailed and discussed in advance. Will it change lives much? Probably not for most people, though there will be losers – benefit claimants, immigrants – and winners – the elderly ill, creators of intellectual property so important to our future.
Does the text which the Queen's ministers require her to read at the start of a new parliamentary session usually sound as lacklustre and clumsily written as this one did? The royal flummery is much the same, though ever-creakier. So is the trouble that the Queen (87) is getting very old? More likely it reflects political arthritis, that the increasingly divided coalition is chiefly marking time as it waits and prays for success in the central pillar of David Cameron's strategy: an economic recovery achieved via the austerity road ministers took in May 2010.
It's supposed to be the vellum version of what ministers plan to do in the year ahead and want MPs to legislate into the statute book. But it's not even much of a guide to that, as Andrew Sparrow points out here in his daily blog. Last year ministers unveiled 15 bills and passed 10 of them while passing 28 bills the Queen didn't mention apart from that annual "other measures" reference. The Lords reform bill got killed off by a Tory revolt and several bills have been carried over. It will be the same this year.
No harm in that. A coalition doesn't function like a one-party government. We can all see the working parts more clearly whenever there is a problem. As Patrick Wintour points out, Cameron had ditched some proposals which annoy his backbenchers and their dwindling number of activists – plain cigarette packaging, a snooper's charter, a bill to create a mechanism whereby voters can demand that an erring MP can be removed, a dangerous shift in my view, one which might have removed troublemakers such as Winston Churchill in 1939 or Nye Bevan later.
Lib Dems have also kicked a few Tory wannabes into touch – that ban on prisoner voting rights and some objectionable "snooping" plans. But Theresa May has got her way in wanting to legislate to deport foreign prisoners and toughen the wider regime which still encourages would-be immigrants to cross France in search of work and shelter here.
But there is more continuity than change in this speech's fragile attempt to create a narrative with which voters can connect. At 844 words it's four shorter than last year (not much of a gesture to the Queen's plea for brevity), longer than the 607 words of the Queen's speech of 20 years ago when John Major's re-elected government had plunged into terminal disarray over the sterling crisis of Black/White Wednesday (1992) and the rising tide of Tory Euroscepticism.
Some MPs now seem determined to revive that disastrous civil war over Europe of which there was no mention by Her Maj, certainly not of the in/out referendum radicals now demand. But in other respects the 1993 Queen's speech is recognisably close to our own time and agenda. The cold war was over, the Troubles in Ireland were beginning to wind down, the government's preoccupation was with domestic social/economic issues. Contrast that with her 1,095-word speech on 30 October 1973 when Ted Heath had just taken Britain into Europe – and was just four months from losing power in his "Who Governs Britain?" election in the middle of a miners' strike.
Trade union relations, the cold war, Europe and the US, still led by Richard Nixon then – the world was very different. China did not feature in Whitehall's priorities, though Nixon had made his famous visit to Beijing (Peking as we still called it) the previous year. It did not feature in the latest speech either (Gibraltar did to cheer the old stalwarts), but its shadow falls everywhere, not least on George Osborne and Vince Cable's efforts – visible but unexciting – to make UK plc more competitive in an Asia-centred world economy. No one would have predicted that in 1973.
The Daily Telegraph, happily playing footsie with Ukip like much of Fleet Street, says the sun is setting on the coalition. Nothing in the Queen's speech contradicts that verdict, though it is still premature. More subtly, some Tory critics complain of a "lack of authenticity" in the government. Hardly surprising when the pantomime horse has two heads – Conservative and Lib Dem – but all such calculations depend on that central strategy "the economy, stupid". If the optimists are right, as stronger employment figures might be suggesting, and the economy really is crawling back to life, all will be forgiven.

Very Nice Cruise: Grand Princess Cruise Review by dag144
Overall Member Rating
Very Nice Cruise
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
First impressions of the ship were very favorable. She sparkled and continued so throughout our week on board. We had been on this ship in November of 2011 after her renovation and she certainly wasn't showing her age at all. One elevator was out, but all the others worked.
This was the second time that we booked a balcony cabin. The configuration of this cabin was much better than on the Sapphire, our only other experience in one of the smaller cabins. Everything was cleaning and adequate for a week's cruise. The shelf space could be tight for a clothes-horse on a two week sojourn. I wish that More Princess had a small sofa in there entry balcony cabins like HAL does in its newer ships. The balcony no longer has the rubber mats but looked and functioned great, no burnt feet on the dark metal decking. What I definitely like is Princess's beds. Granted they are not as elaborate than HAL's but the advantage is that our steward was able to tidy up our cabin quickly. He also had time to clean it, something I wonder about HAL whose stewards have to spent lots of time putting the elaborate bedding back together each morning.
We did not go to any shows. This would have interfered with our time in the Wheelhouse Bar! We have been to all the ports (which we enjoy) many times, so we did not do any tours. We wandered around, shopped (it's great in San Juan and Marigot), and had tapas in San Juan and lunch in the other ports.
Now a word about the food. We ate in the Horizon Court and in the "any time" dining rooms. Try as we could, we could not find much to complain about. Maybe the Horizon Court could have had a greater variety of cheeses, a little different each day, but we could not complain about the variety of sausages, often five varieties at a meal. My roast beef was a little tough, but I ordered an end cut. On another night I had a wonderful pheasant and a terrific Gorgonzola and poached pear salad. The staff was very pleasant. If I must complain about something, and it won't be about the great pizza, it's that the library on the Grand is too small. Would have liked something new to read, but I did bring material from our local library.
Disembarkation was a breeze.
To sum it all up, Princess gives its cruisers lots for the money. Less

Cabin review: BBA334 Balcony
Cabin A334, a balcony on Aloha deck, just below the lido deck is convenient. It is typical for this type of cabin. The balcony, while small, is private. Being on the top deck no one can look down on you. Space would be tight for in cabin dining, and storage could be a tight for a cruise longer than a week. The only drawback to this cabin is the occasional noise from activity above on the Lido. Still,I never was really bothered.Read All Balcony (BB) Reviews >>

The Iowa Soybean Rust Fast Track System was developed to allow the rapid and accurate diagnosis of samples suspected of being infected with the Asian soybean rust fungus. Early symptoms of various infectious leaf diseases of soybean often appear similar. A positive identification may require incubation of leaf samples in a moist environment and subsequent microscopic examination.
Samples submitted to the Iowa State University Plant Disease Clinic through the Fast Track System are given priority status and diagnosed for Asian soybean rust free of charge. Details of the Fast Track System have been highlighted in past ICM Newsletters.
- Use the Soybean Rust Fast Track System [1] (2/28/05)
- Iowa Soybean Rust Fast Track System to be tested spring 2005 [2] (4/11/2005)
In the Fast Track System, agricultural professionals who have received specialized training on the diagnosis of soybean rust serve as first detectors. Their role is to examine any soybean samples that show symptoms suggestive of rust. If Asian soybean rust cannot be ruled out, the samples are referred to specially trained Iowa State University Extension personnel (triage team). If a triage team member cannot rule out Asian soybean rust, the sample is delivered to the Iowa State University Plant Disease Clinic. During the 2005 season, four samples were referred to the Plant Disease Clinic for diagnosis. After laboratory analysis of the samples, Asian soybean rust was ruled out. The samples were not forwarded to the United States Department of Agricultures Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) laboratory.
The Soybean Rust Fast Track System will also be in place for the 2006 growing season. A list of first detectors can be obtained at county extension offices or found at soybeanrust.info [3]. Additional information on submitting samples to the Plant Disease Clinic can be found here [4].

CEBUANOS will mark, along with most of the country, the 28th anniversary of People Power this week.
That uprising sparked Czechoslovakia's "Velvet Revolution" and smothered communist rule. Ecuador's"noise barage" sent its president packing. Lebanon's "Cedar Revolution" forced Syrian troops out.
And how many Cebuanos remember that the Carmelite monastery here opened its cloisters to give refuge to Corazon Aquino? Ferdinand Marcos's agents were moving in on her after Gen. Fidel Ramos and Sec. Juan Ponce Enrile defected and dug in at Camp Crame.
At a Feb. 22 Fuente Osmeña rally, Cory announced the start of a civil disobedience campaign after massive vote rigging by Marcos's KBL party. Now, Cory was target ---and turned down a hush-hush offer for sanctuary on a US warship.
Former Rep. Antonio Cuenco hurriedly ferried Aquino and daughter Kris to the Carmelite monastery, Rep. Raul del Mar joined them.
"We could not believe Cory had come to us for safety," Mother Aimee Ataviado recalls. The nuns hid both in their sparse cloister, until they could fly back to Manila. "I remember Kris suffering from mosquito bites," Mother Aimee Ataviado smiles.
Under the "New Society," the Philippines became a gulag of safe houses, Amnesty International noted. No. "It was one of the best things that happened," Imelda declares. Tayo ang nagligtas ng demokrasya.
The revolt left Filipino communists wringing their hands in their safehouses. The Ilocos region looked the other way – resulting in a bizzare bed fellowship that's never been fully explained..
Clad in fatigues, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. harangued KBL partisans from a Malacañang porch as People Power surged.
A day later, he'd be trundled into Hawaiian exile with family and cronies. Today, 57-year-old Senator Marcos sneers at Edsa as "the five-percent revolution." He's also mired in the pork barrel scam.
Under liberties that People Power restored, Bongbong, itches to run for president in 2016---after being slammed by the US Federal Court ( 9th circuit) with a US $353.6 thousand fine for trying to smuggle out paintings and artwork held in evidence.
Then mayor Joseph Estrada hunkered down in San Juan, itching for troops to plaster the rebels. He's the only Philippine president ever convicted for plunder. As Manila mayor today, Erap "vouched" for his son Jinggoy enmeshed in the pork scam.
Bang in ama kabang, in anak niya mayan tundukan, the Tausug proverb says. "If the father is spotted, the son will be speckled. Ousted by People Power 2, Estrada called for crowds to spring him from the clink. No one came.
In response to Jaime Cardinal Sin's appeal, people massed from 22 to 25 February. They saved Juian Ponce Enrile from Marcos fury for plotting to take over. Cory had been cheated massively in his Cayagan bailiwick, Enrile said in Edsa's afterglow.
In later elections, Enrile "apologized" to Ilocano voters for People Power.
Will amnesia save him from today's plunder charges lodged with the Ombudsman? So, we recall, compulsively perhaps, the 28th anniversary of People Power.
Our stories may offer insights, specially for those too young to remember.
Forgetting embeds injustice. Falsification of history invites repeated abuse. It prevents healing. Systematic distortion of facts aborts essential reforms.
Indeed, we forget at the cost of betrayal. Amnesia over past crimes "reflects a weak sense of the nation and of the common good," Sociologist John Carroll writes in "A Nation in Denial." "Unless (the country reaffirms) those values, it may be condemned to forever wander in the valueless power plays among the elite."

At the beginning of their spring meeting in San Antonio, the U.S. bishops decided to wade into the national debate over immigration reform. Either this afternoon or tomorrow morning, the bishops will vote on a statement from Cardinal Francis George, president of the USCCB, addressed to President Barack Obama and the members of Congress.
Immigration was not part of the prepared agenda for the meeting, but during the first session this afternoon, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles proposed adding a statement from George to the agenda.
"We're meeting in Texas, which is a very important state in the immigration debate," Mahony said, proposing that George make a statement as lawmakers in Washington "undertake immigration reform, which is supposed to get underway next week."
Mahony has been outspoken on the immigration issue, and the U.S. bishops have adopted a "Justice for Immigrants" campaign favoring "policies that respect the human dignity of immigrants, refugees, asylum-seekers, and other people on the move." In particular, the bishops have supported pathways to legalization for some immigrants, easier access to the labor market, and policies that would protect the integrity of families.
When Mahony proposed adding immigration reform to the agenda, George asked if he had a draft statement to submit. Mahony replied that one is being drafted, and George swiftly agreed to take it up either this afternoon or tomorrow.

This sounds very much like you are not clearing your ARP caches when
switching the interfaces around. The switch database should sort itself
out but you will definitely need to clear the ARP cache on the machine you
are testing from in order to see m0n0wall. And you will probably need to
clear the ARP caches on the devices on the other side of your m0n0wall.

Here's one question - are these 'Local Histories...at BYU Digital Archives' pages to be updated? For example, Local Histories of the United States on BYU Digital Archives, Pennsylvania - South Dakota. The books are now in the FamilySearch digital books, I believe, at least the ones I looked at.

Fresh snow fell in the Pyrenees last week. Barèges/La Mongie received 15cm, and the upper slopes now boast a fantastic metre and a half base. Most resorts in the French Alps only got a dusting but piste conditions are still great in Tignes and Val d'Isère and more snow was forecast this weekend. The same goes for Vars and Serre Chevalier.
It was largely dry across Switzerland last week. Davos and Klosters both received a light sprinkling which freshened up their pistes nicely. Heavy snow is forecast for many resorts this week, some - including Verbier and Haute Nendaz - are expecting between 30 and 45cm.
It was mainly dry across Italy last week, but most resorts are still enjoying excellent piste conditions. Snow is on the way though; most resorts were expecting between 17 and 30cm by early this week.
Some much-needed snow fell last week; most places saw between 5 and 15cm fall. The Pitztal area received 15cm midweek, so powder conditions can be found across the whole resort. Excellent conditions can also be found at St Anton and Zell am See. Snow is expected in most resorts early this week.
USA & Canada
Resorts across the east coast of the States have been hit by bitterly cold temperatures - on Thursday it was -25C at Stowe - while Californian resorts are mild and sunny. Little snow is forecast. In Canada most resorts have had snow in the past week so conditions are fantastic.
The rest
In Norway, Voss and Oppdal received light snowfalls last week, and all resorts were forecasting fresh snow this weekend, with Hemsedal expecting over 50cm. In Sweden, Åre had a top-up midweek and is enjoying great piste conditions, while at Sälen, the recent cold temperatures have caused the pistes to pack down. Snow was expected across Scotland this weekend, and there is currently limited skiing at Lecht.

Hoosiers come up short against No. 18 Connecticut
Shabazz Napier scored 27 points, including 11 over the final 7 minutes, to lead No. 18 Connecticut to a 59-58 victory over Indiana on Friday night in the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project.
Napier's driving basket with 1:34 left to play turned out to be the final points of the game.
Indiana turned the ball over twice and Yogi Ferrell missed a jumper in that span. Napier missed a 3-pointer and was called for an offensive foul in the hectic finish that had the crowd at Madison Square Garden standing for the final 90 seconds.
Indiana had the last scoring chance. Ferrell missed a jumper with 10 seconds to go and the rebounded rolled out of bounds off a Connecticut player. With .7 seconds left, Jeremy Hollowell inbounded the ball to Noah Vonleh, but his jumper was late.

Kick Your Weekend Off Right With Will Smith And Jimmy Fallon Beatboxing 'It Takes Two'
Look, we really love Jimmy Fallon here at PEDESTRIAN.TV. We really, truly do. But we're also pretty aware that too much of a good thing ain't necessarily healthy. We're not exactly in the business of just morphing into a glorified Tonight Show RSS feed. So we tend to be reluctant to post everything he does.
I mean, well, we would be, if he would just stop doing REALLY COOL SHIT for five seconds.
The Tonight Show's week in Los Angeles is winding to a close and has already featured incredible performances, like the incredible Saved By The Bell throwback sketch, or the pitch-perfect recreation of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air opening title sequence.
Tonight's instalment in "Jimmy Fallon wins the internet"? Getting the Fresh Prince himself to spit out some hot fire.
Will Smith stopped by the show and because he can pretty much do whatever he wants, he teamed up with Fallon to beatbox their way through Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock's 1988 smash hit "It Takes Two" with a little assist from a goddamned cool iPad app.
You'd think, at some point, being a wildly entertaining dude in charge who creates incredibly awesome and hilarious content would get tiring at some stage. And yet, here we are.

Aricept 10 – What You Should Know
How Alzheimer's affects the brain.
In the brain of someone with Alzheimer's, there is less of the acetylcholine chemical as well. Doctors believe this is one of the factors that cause Alzheimer's symptoms like a decline in cognition and a decreased ability to perform daily activities.
ARICEPT is thought to help Alzheimer's patients by increasing the amount of acetylcholine.
ARICEPT (donepezil HCl) increases acetylcholine by slowing the effect of acetylcholinesterase.
How is ARICEPT taken?
ARICEPT (donepezil HCl) is a small, once-daily tablet taken in the evening before bedtime. It can be taken with or without food. Before starting on ARICEPT 23 mg/day, patients should be on ARICEPT 10 mg/day for at least 3 months. The starting dose of ARICEPT is 5 mg/day and can be increased to 10 mg/day after 4–6 weeks. Please take ARICEPT as prescribed by the doctor.
In a study, more side effects were seen with ARICEPT 23 mg than with ARICEPT 10 mg. Many more people taking ARICEPT 23 mg experienced nausea and vomiting than those taking ARICEPT 10 mg. These side effects may get better after the patient takes ARICEPT for a while. Other side effects that were seen more often with ARICEPT 23 mg were stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, and weight loss. People of lower weight (less than 121 lbs) may have increased nausea, vomiting, and weight loss when taking ARICEPT 23 mg.

The Socialist MSP had been represented by Richard Keen QC but the advocate has not been in court since last Friday due to commitments in London.
Junior advocate Graeme Henderson had conducted Mr Sheridan's case.
He is suing the Sunday tabloid in a £200,000 defamation action over a series of articles about his sex life which he claims were "untrue".
The development was triggered by Mr Henderson's cross-examination of Anne Colvin, who claimed she caught the MSP taking part in a threesome in a Glasgow hotel.
'Very serious'
The case was prematurely halted on Thursday when the junior advocate put it to the witness that she had previously been sentenced to 18 months for credit card fraud.
Mrs Colvin, 54, denied the allegation and said she had never been convicted of such an offence.
The jurors were sent away while Lord Turnbull attempted to resolve the matter.
Upon their return, he informed them that the suggestion made to Mrs Colvin was a "very serious one".
On Friday, in court, Mr Sheridan revealed it was the catalyst for his decision to sack his legal team.
When the jurors were called into court, the judge handed them over to Mr Henderson to let him explain what had been going on in their absence.
Mr Henderson told the court: "Mr Sheridan has elected to dispense with the services of his counsel and is now about to conduct the case himself.
"That will mean that I am about to disappear from the place where I am sitting and Mr Sheridan will take my place."
Turning to the witness, he said: "Mrs Colvin, yesterday I asked you questions and put to you propositions to the effect that you had been convicted of credit card fraud.
"I had no proper basis for putting those questions and propositions to you."
Apology offered
Mr Henderson said he realised she was a woman of good character and apologised unreservedly for his error.
He then left the court as Mr Sheridan, the former leader of the Scottish Socialist Party, took his place on the front bench.
The Glasgow MSP apologised to the jury, to Mrs Colvin and to the judge for the delay and requested an adjournment until Tuesday to allow him time to prepare his case.
He added: "I have been less than satisfied since Monday in relation to the conduct of my defence and I was incandescent with rage yesterday.
"I have to offer an apology from myself to Mrs Colvin.
"The question was not prompted by myself."
Lord Turnbull granted an adjournment until Tuesday and told the jury it would have been unfair to expect Mr Sheridan to start representing himself this afternoon.

I am wondering if my excision scars were placed in the opposing direction of skin tension lines. I have a vertical scar on my forehead mid way between my eyebrows and about an inch above them. The one on my nose is also vertical on the upper side of my nose. Are these opposing natural skin tension lines and if so, could there be a reason for that placement?
Skin Tension Lines
Doctor Answers 2
Scars Should Be Placed Parallel To Skin Tension Lines If Possible
In the glabellar area (between the eyebrows), the relaxed skin tension lines do run vertical for a short distance. In the remainder of the forehead, the tension lines run horizontal. Where the forehead tension lines lie is evidenced by where the forehead wrinkles occur by frowning and raising your eyebrows. On the nose, the skin tension lines run parallel to the long axis of the nose until one gets down to the tip. Why your excision scars run where they do is undoubtably a function of the location and size of what needed to be removed. It may simply have not been possible to place all of the excision pattern in the most ideal skin tension line orientation.
Learn more: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/scar.html
Wound closure in relation to skin tension lines
There are many considerations in selecting the orientation of wound closure. Generally for the greatest strength of closure and best cosmesis, I prefer to orient wounds parallel to relaxed skin tension lines. On the face and other cosmetically improtant areas, there are other considerations including the location of the adjacent tissue reservoir, as well as potential disruption of important neighboring structures such as the eye, nose, ear, lip. Yet another consideration is the long-axis orientation of the wound that needs to be closed. Any one of these or other considerations could have played a factor in the orientation of your excision scars.

Located in the northeastern corner of Ethiopia near the border with Eritrea, the Danakil Depression has been called "the gateway to Hell" because it is one of the hottest and harshest places on Earth, withreports USA Today. Rain almost never falls here.
This vast desert basin lies 150 feet below sea level and the landscape looks almost otherworldly, characterized by two active volcanoes, the bubbling Erta Ale living lava lake (one of only four in the world), geysers, acid ponds and impressive expanses of yellow mounds of sulfur, salt and mineral deposits.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Goal sparks soccer riot
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit UnNews:Goal sparks soccer riot
This was my first attempt at an article. It seemed OK to me but i would appriciate someone else's thoughts or a sensual massage. I'll let you decide.HauntedUndies 08:38, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll do this. Wait, you aren't one of those Europes are you? (talk) 21:39, 4 June 2011
|Are you sure this is your first article? It's rather good.
First off, your humor fits really well with the whole UnNews format and the general format of uncyclopedia overall, so good job there. However, your article isn't 100% consistent. For example, in the first paragraph you talk about the game itself using entirely obvious explanations. This is great, but then you talk about the riots, using exaggerated terminology. This is also pretty funny, but it doesn't really fit with the direction that you've already set the article. You don't necessarily need to change the entire paragraph, I just think you should tone it down a bit so that it matches your first and last paragraphs.
The final section of the article is great as it matches your first paragraph in terms of humor and tone. The saying something then have someone else say the exact same thing trick is a cliche, but it's cliche for a reason so you can definitely keep it. Your last two sentences have two of the funnier jokes in them, which makes them a great note to end on.
Great job on this article. I think you can branch out to longer articles if you want to, though a few of our best users only stay in one type of article, generally. Good job again.
A quick reread of HTBFANJS wouldn't hurt.
|Great concept, although, like I said before, you don't keep it entirely consistent throughout the entire article. If you work on being more consistent in your future articles, and maybe changing this one up to be more consistent, they'll be a lot better.
There are a few things that are a bit formulaic. I already mentioned the say something-someone says it again exactly the same thing which is not too overdone to feel awkward, but the "none survived," and the English/British stereotypes are both very common jokes especially when talking about football riots and English football clubs. There are some that will say that your source should reflect the actual source, but I think the title you put it immensely funny. Don't change it.
|Prose and formatting:
|The first line is a bit awkward. Either add commas after "England" and before "due" or change "due to an undesired goal" to after "England." Other than that, I can't see any glaring grammar errors. One thing that should be changed is in the dateline. "England" Should be in all caps just like "Wembley Stadium." That's just how news articles formatted, Dex or Humbucker should have caught that, but it's not that big of a deal. Everything else looks good, though you may want to ask someone to proofread it for you, if you care that much about grammar and such.
|The two images you chose were decent, but not great. Same goes for the captions.
The first image is most likely ms paint job or possibly just a really bad shop, and it only kinda fits the article as you mention the rioters and not the players fighting back the riots. The caption is decent, but not great and the picture is rather small.
The second image is very difficult to see at that size, but it's got a pretty good caption for the image that you used. It fits the article much better than the first image and the caption is much better in my opinion. You can fix a lot of the problems I have with the images by simply taking out the first one and replacing it with the second, but making it much bigger.
|Overall "feel" of the article.
|Final Score:
|Very good for a first article, but keep in mind this score is slightly inflated because of how new you are.

It is no secret that I think Pope Francis is challenging clergy to step up their game. It's also no secret I have pretty high expectations of anyone who gets the honor of wearing a Roman collar. Just ask any of the priests I know. Which is why, when I hear what I did Tuesday night about a priest being super awesome, I want to do the happy dance.
Here's the report from the pews: A friend spent last weekend in pain and confusion over a family issue. She didn't feel comfortable reaching out to friends, and she has been struggling for quite some time with issues of faith because of this very issue. After 48 hours of wrestling alone and weeping more than she ever wanted to, she went looking for what is sometimes called "God with skin on." Naturally, she looked on Facebook.
She recently friended one of the many members of the local clergy on social media, and she sent him a private message asking for an appointment. She was honest, saying she and her husband had attended his parish in the past but were now going somewhere else. The priest responded and -- pay attention -- he did not say, as I've heard from Catholics so frequently it makes me want to poke pencils in my eyes, "Why don't you call the priest at your parish?"
Instead, he said, "Yes."
It seems so simple. And yet, so often, this simple thing doesn't happen. There are barriers thrown up, and when a person is in a vulnerable state (as people are when they reach out to clergy), those barriers appear too high to climb over. When you're referred away from the priest you've had the guts to reach out to, you rarely call somewhere else. Instead, you start questioning your need. Maybe your crisis isn't a crisis after all. Maybe you can handle it alone. Maybe you should stop being so weak. Maybe you should just go to a movie, buy a new car, eat a pint of ice cream or, in the case of a young woman I was called to help 20 years ago, pick up a bottle of pills and take a few too many.
Such is the power of the clergy, a power too few priests understand they wield in the mind of average Catholics. Perhaps it shouldn't be so, but it is. And the key to much of what Pope Francis has expressed in his pontificate is that we have to deal with what is. Clergy need to meet people where they are, not tell them where they want them to be.
The average Catholic -- and by this, I mean folks who don't write about religion for a living or work for the church or have advanced degrees in theology -- this person thinks ordination equals certain things. Sacraments, yes, but more: being available, welcoming, open and respectful, not scary or arrogant. When priests don't meet these bare minimum expectations on a consistent basis with everyone they meet, they inadvertently injure people and drive them from the practice of the faith. Maybe it shouldn't be this way, but it is.
Which is why it is exceedingly important for clergy not to erect barriers. Especially now. As I wrote at Bus Stop Jesus:
This Pope Francis moment, this clear-as-a-bell call from Rome, is a moment of truth. There is a chance that next Sunday, or the next or perhaps more likely at Christmas or Easter, people who had given up on the Catholic Church and the faith are going to walk through your parish doors. They are going to be looking for what Pope Francis has talked about. They want to see if you're offering it.
This week, a particular priest in the Southwest offered just that. I can't be certain, but I think maybe he was inspired by the Holy Father. What I can be certain of is that my friend said her discussion with him was both faith- and life-changing, and it gave her hope for the first time in seven years. That's a pretty big deal. And it came about because a priest said a word that, when translated, means "giving up my time." Let the church say amen.

6th Street Massacre
Located on notoriously twisted Route 66, a derelict movie theater has become the stomping grounds of the McKill family—a criminally insane brood with a predilection for torture and murder. The site is filled with horrific vignettes: piles of human skulls, walls stained with gory handprints, and funerals attended by the dead.
Down the theater's dilapidated halls specters stalk interlopers, awaiting the right moment to jump out and shock—but never touch—their prey. The location has appeared on the Biography Channel's My Ghost Story, where numerous suspected apparitions were caught in the act.

MORE than 1,000 jobs could be coming to Thurrock after the Government earmarked two power station projects for funding.
Chief Treasury Secretary Danny Alexander made the announcement on Tuesday that plans for a gas-fired power station in Corringham and a waste-wood burning plant in the Port of Tilbury could get a share of £33billion as the Government seeks to secure the country's energy supply for years to come.
The announcement comes 15 months after plans for the Gateway Energy Centre, a 900 megawatt gas-fired station on the London Gateway Logistics Park, in Corringham, appeared to be dead due to a lack of funding.
Intergen, the company behind the plans, required Government funding to make the project viable.
In the last four years, both plants received outline planning permission and hope to begin building next year.
Between them, the two projects would create 900 construction jobs and 120 jobs once the plants are fully operational.
Dirk van den Esschert, director of Tilbury Green Power, the company behind the plant in Tilbury, said: "TGP is very pleased to have pre-qualified for the Government's infrastructure guarantee.
"We have been progressing the detailed design of the facility with our project partners and are working hard to bring together a finance package to ensure it goes ahead.
"The Government's announcement is a positive step forward for TGP, proves that the project is sound and will help us to bring the financial aspects together."
A spokesman for Intergen confirmed the Government has still not decided whether gas stations – or others – will form part of its electricity market reform.
The spokesman said: "We are ready to build, but we need the Government to decide which forms of electricity supply it will be using for its reforms."
Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price said: "I welcome the Government's announcement.
"We are going to have an energy crisis in this country which is going to lead to higher taxes and higher bills unless we secure investment in energy generation."

Tax Deadline Is Almost Here!
April 15th is coming up this Monday. Are your taxes done? Do you know what you need if you are mailing them in? What if you're not ready, what then? Well, I've got a few tips that may be able to help!
If you are mailing in your taxes here are few things you might want to know.
- In order to meet the deadline, your return has to be postmarked by midnight Friday night, April 15.
- It has to be a U.S. Postal Service postmark.
- Postage meter postmarks are not okay
- IRS does not pay for Postage Due…Its YOUR responsibility to pay the correct postage(no getting out of this one!)
- Forms are available at Post Offices, libraries, and of course online. Just got to http://www.irs.gov/
Now, if you are not ready to file by April 15th, you can always apply for an extension and you don't really need an excuse. However, you do have to file the extension form and any tax you may owe, by the 15th of April. I've done this before and its not really not that hard. You've just got to get it all turned in on time!
I just did my taxes here in Billings at a local tax place. That's always the other option. I, personally, don't like dealing with the forms and I'm just pretty lazy really. Ha! But they take good care of me and have for years. So if you're like me, you might just want to find a local tax place that can help you!

A new poll of New York voters finds President Barack Obama with big leads over potential Republican challengers.
The Siena College poll found 48 percent of New York voters said they would re-elect Obama and 45 percent would prefer someone else.
Respondents also said they would vote for Obama over Republicans Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. Respondents favored Obama over Perry 58 percent to 31 percent. They favored Obama over Romney 55 percent to 37 percent.
New York is a heavily Democratic state that has not voted for a Republican for president since 1984.
Siena called 800 registered voters in New York state on Oct. 10-12. The poll has a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

Although Bernie Sanders has resisted any calls or temptation to mount a negative campaign against Democratic Party rival Hillary Clinton, the outspoken senator from Vermont has seen fit to defend his opponent by lashing out against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. On Sunday, Sanders appeared on CNN and articulated some of his most significant differences of opinion with the real estate mogul turned aspiring elected official, with particular emphasis on Donald Trump's recent comments regarding Hillary Clinton's husband, former president Bill Clinton.
"Maybe Trump should worry about those issues rather than Bill Clinton's sex life," Sanders said to CNN's Dana Bash, according to a transcription provided by Business Insider. "I think we have more important things to worry about in this country than Bill Clinton's sex life."
Sanders has been frank regarding his critique of Hillary Clinton on matters of policy, but relations between Democratic candidates have been largely congenial compared to some of the bitter in fighting between Republican candidates.
Donald Trump recently declared that Bill Clinton's somewhat extensive history of controversies regarding trysts and affairs, including Clinton's near-impeachment over his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. A prolific user of social media, Trump unleashed a volley of Clinton-related sniping via Twitter last week.
If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 28, 2015
Hillary Clinton has announced that she is letting her husband out to campaign but HE'S DEMONSTRATED A PENCHANT FOR SEXISM, so inappropriate!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 27, 2015
Trump's recent allusions to Bill Clinton's infidelity are not the only instances in which he has shown a willingness to get personal in his attacks upon Hillary Clinton. In April, Donald Trump's Twitter account re-tweeted a comment that indirectly blamed Bill Clinton's indiscretions on Hillary, then linking that issue to Ms. Clinton's fitness for high office.
"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?"
The tweet was later deleted and blamed on a "social media staffer," according to Daily Mail.
Despite all of Donald Trump's politically motivated interest in Bill Clinton's love life, a report by The Blaze notes that Trump himself once explicitly asserted that Clinton's affairs were "totally unimportant." The blustery businessman's comments were made during a 2008 interview with CNN.
"[Bush] lied! He got us into the war with lies! And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant, and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense."
For his part, Bernie Sanders agrees more with the 2008 incarnation of Donald Trump than the talking points of Trump's presidential campaign. During his above-noted conversation with Dana bash, Sanders indicated he feels obligated to take Trump to task at this point in the campaign, characterizing his Republican rival's most recent personal attacks on the Clintons as "over the edge." Sanders has also previously described Trump as a "pathological liar," according to ABC News.
Later in the day on Sunday, Trump turned his attention back to Hillary Clinton herself, accusing the former Secretary of State of having a hand in the creation of ISIS. As per a report by USA Today, Donald Trump also said that Ms. Clinton has "caused tremendous death" during her work in the Obama administration.

Just as we were hearing the post-New Year's Eve reports that Reese Witherspoon and LeAnn Rimes were engaged, we heard about a third woman planning to tie the knot—Debra Beasley. Wait, the name doesn't ring a bell? That's because you know her as Debra Lafave, the Florida middle school teacher who was sentenced to three years of house arrest after it was discovered that she'd had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student—in her car, at her house, and at least once in a portable classroom at the school. Radar reported that Debra, now going by her maiden name, was engaged to Shawn Haverfield, a Florida bar owner. Haverfield says that isn't actually true, but the two do appear to be living together. A source says that his family thinks "Debbie is a great girl." [Radar, Tampa Bay Online]
This has inspired us to look up where other teachers made famous for their sex scandals are now.
- Mary Kay Letourneau is the original gangster of sex scandal teachers. In 1996, she had an affair with a 13-year-old student, Vili Fualaau, and carried his baby. After six months in jail, she was caught once again with Vili and and was sent back to prison until 2004. After she was released, the two got married and went on "Entertainment Tonight" to tell their story. The two now live in Washington and host a weekly dance party at a bar called Bull Market. The theme is "Hot for Teacher," and Vili DJs while Mary Kay hypes up the crowd. Eek. [News Tribune]
- Abbie Jane Swogger was caught throwing a hotel party for several of her students, complete with booze, pot, and crack cocaine. This attracted attention, and soon photos of Swogger naked with students emerged, and a 16-year-old came forward to say he had sex with her. She pleaded guilty in May of 2009 and is currently serving the second year of her three-to-six year prison sentence. [Post Gazette]
- Even though her sex scandal became national news, Alini Brito denies that there was an actual scandal. She was accused of being topless in her classroom with another female teacher between her legs during a school talent competition. She is now suing the school to get her job back. She says that she was merely giving the other teacher candy to control her diabetes, and that the witnesses invented the story from their overly active imaginations. We'll have to wait and see how her case goes. [NY Daily News]
- Biology teacher Tiffany Shepherd's scandal was even less scandalous. She was fired after posing in a bikini for a charter boat company. But the "where is she now" part is juicier. She is now porn star Leah Lust, a job she says she took because she needed money. "I'm not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it. I'm an educated woman, but I never thought it would come to this," she said. "No one gets brought up thinking they'll be a floozy." Indeed. [NY Daily News]

A coworker once mentioned that he and his son had watched Disney's "The Jungle Book." He insisted that King Louie was voiced by Louis Armstrong. He wouldn't believe that it was Louis Prima.

That's nothing. A few months ago I heard a talking head on the CBC insist that King Louie in "The Jungle Book" was "proof" of the racism of the Disney Corporation in the 1950s, because King Louie was an ape singing "I wanna be like you oo oo, and learn to be hu u uman too." Apparently this person thought that King Louie was was presumed (by them) to have been voiced by a Black person or a white person doing a stereotypical "Black" voice, and that by having the character sing that they wanted to be human too it was implying that Black people are subhuman. Worst of all was the fact that no one knew enough about the movie to tell this talking head that they were full of it.

Never mind that Disney's Jungle Book came out in 1967...
At least Los Lobos didn't have a problem with it when they did their wonderful cover version for Hal Wilner's Stay Awake Disney tribute CD.
