Brew Crew Pitch $100 Million To C.C. Sabathia
The Milwaukee Brewers have made a formal offer to resign C.C. Sabathia, the guy who single handedly carried the team (and many of you fantasy owners) into the playoffs this season.
After a terrible start to the season (with the exception of a few awesome two-start weeks) in Cleveland, Sabathia finished the year on fire in Milwaukee. He led the league in innings pitched (253) and went 17-10 with a 2.70 ERA, 251 strikeouts and a 1.12 ERA.
Until November 13, the Brewers are the only team who can negotiate with Sabathia, and they are using that advantage to its fullest. While the reports are not confirmed, the Brewers are said to have offered Sabathia a four or five year deal in the $100 million range.
What happens to Sabathia from a fantasy baseball perspective if he resigns with the Brew Crew? Keep in mind that we are still compiling our list of the top 75 starting pitchers for 2009, but his ranking for next year will improve if he stays in the NL. There's no guarantee that Sabathia signing with the Brewers makes him the top fantasy pitcher, but he did finish the year 11-2 following the July trade.
Sabathia keeper league owners, have no fear. You should definitely stash him away regardless of where he ends up signing. Brewers GM Bob Melvin fully expects Sabathia to test the free agent market, where it is almost a guarantee that the New York Yankees (Sabathia's favorite team growing up) will make a pitch to the 28-year old lefty. Other teams can contact him between now and 11/13 to show interest and discuss the length of a contract, but they can not disclose financial terms.
The Brewers have some major decisions to make with regards to pitching and next season, as Ben Sheets also filed for free agency last week.

Pete Finelli, a well-known teacher and coach at Princeton High School from 1956 to 1983, died Dec. 10 in Rochester, at age 84.
Finelli, who was born April 6, 1928, in East Cleveland, Ohio,
came to Princeton to teach American history in 1956, after graduating from St. Cloud Teachers College.
A circuitous route to his years in Princeton began when he signed a contract, in 1948, with the New York Yankees and pitched three years in their minor league system.
His final year as a minor leaguer was in 1950, at Fargo, N.D. He stayed around the area, began college at Moorhead State, and met his future wife, Lucille Lundby of Fertile.
They were married Oct. 12, 1951, in Fertile, before he left for the Marine Corps. He spent a year in Korea before returning to Minnesota and completing his education in 1956.
He took the job at Princeton and that began what he later described as "a love affair" with the city of Princeton.
Many former students talked fondly of him after leaving Princeton High School, saying they enjoyed the passion he had for teaching.
He was well-known among those students for his interest in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, even showing in class the movies he had taken of the places in Dallas where history was made in November 1962.
Former student Kris Fairchild of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, called him "truly one of the great, giving, sincere teachers, who had a passion for what he did."
He took the job of head football coach at Princeton High School a few years after coming to Princeton and was known for his innovative offense that was years ahead of its time.
Finelli was also a pitching coach for many of the outstanding high school and Legion baseball teams coached by Howard Solheim, Solheim acknowledging that Finelli knew a lot more about pitching than he did.
Besides being an advisor for the school newspaper, Finelli was a sportswriter for a number of years for the Princeton Union. In 1974, when the fledgling Princeton Eagle began, Finelli was hired as its first sports editor.
Finelli was also a play-by-play man for the new radio station in town in the late 1960s, WKPM. He served as sports director and made trips all over the state to broadcast Tiger games. He also did play-by-play of many Legion baseball games in the summer, broadcasting every inning of every game in 1970, when the first-ever Princeton Invitational was held.
The man of Italian heritage from Cleveland was also known for his cooking, including the making of his own sausage and spaghetti.
"Oh, did we eat when he was cooking for our couples club," said Mike Skavnak, a neighbor, a fellow teacher and assistant coach for Finelli.
"He was a great, great guy to know," Skavnak said. "He took me under his wing and mentored me in those early years."
In 1983, Pete and Lucille took teaching positions in Hawaii, and it was there that Pete became a tour guide at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, a calling he described as a "dream job" because of his love of history.
After a few years in Hawaii, the Finellis returned to Princeton where they lived for awhile before moving to Rochester.
In 2006, Finelli was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Lucille, his wife of 61 years, was his caregiver at home until shortly before his death.
His body was donated to the Mayo Clinic Advancement of Medical Education and Research.
He is survived by wife Lucille, Rochester; daughter Pam Borgen, Rochester; sons Perry, Maple Grove and Peter, Phoenix, Ariz.; sister Theresa, brother Joe and three grandchildren. The family is planning a memorial service for the spring.
Luther Dorr will share his memories of Finelli in his column next week.

- About Plattsburgh
Professor Weiss' professional career in criminal justice education began in 1969, immediately after college graduation, when he began a three-year stint teaching English and philosophy at The Field's High School, Ohio State Reformatory (a gothic-looking 19th century prison that was the setting for the film, "Shawshank Redemption").
Although this job was one of expediency (it rendered a "critical skill" occupational deferment from military service in Vietnam), it inspired Dr. Weiss to pursue graduate education at Xavier University (Cincinnati) and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (S.I.U.). Graduating in 1980 with a Ph.D. in sociology from S.I.U., Dr. Weiss first taught at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (where he headed the Texas Department of Corrections Ramsey Unit College Prison Program) until 1984, when he moved to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (teaching in the General College and at the college program extension at Stillwater Penitentiary). In 1994, he was selected to serve on the board of directors for a prisoner-operated educational corporation at Stillwater, Minnesota. Professor Weiss has been at Plattsburgh since 1985.
Dr. Weiss has edited two scholarly books, several special issue journals for Social Justice, and authored numerous refereed academic articles on prison history, the historical evolution of private policing, and prison industry. His pastime activities include writing critical letters to the editor of major newspapers on criminal justice topics, over a dozen of which have been published in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Houston Chronicle, and USA Today.

A Guide to the Pete Geren Papers, 1989-1997
Biographical Note
Preston M. "Pete" Geren (1952- ) represented Texas' 12th District as a Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1989-1997. He was born in Fort Worth, Texas. After attending and playing football for the Georgia Institute of Technology in Arlington, he received his B.A. and J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. In 1978, he was admitted to the Texas bar, and subsequently worked as a lawyer in private practice and businessman.
His political career began when he served as Executive Assistant to Senator Lloyd Bentsen (1983-1986). In 1986, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress, but was elected in a special election in 1989 after the resignation of Congressman James C. Wright, Jr. He was elected for the three following terms, and chose to not seek re-election in 1996.
His post-Congress career included serving as a member of the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Airport Board 1999-2001, and joining the Department of Defense in 2005 as Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. President George W. Bush nominated him for Secretary of the Army, which he served from 2007 to 2009.

Reviews | Short Takes | What
They Are Reading
Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity. By David Foster Wallace '85.
New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 2003. 320 pp. $23.95 hardcover.
The voyeurism of our age extends naturally to matters of the
mind. We want to see what is going on under the sheets
of science and, if possible, be shown a
keyhole to the boudoir of mathematics. We don't actually want to participate
ourselves, to get down and dirty with the
researchers; we just want to be titillated
by watching from a safe distance what they are up to. This desire has given rise
to an entire mini-industry: books, magazines, television programs and a veritable
army of suitably trained reporters, writers,
producers and other support personnel. Norton's Great Discoveries series,
which Everything and More kicks off, is part of
this trend. Its leading gimmick is to pair significant intellectual achievements
with well-known contemporary writers in the hope that sparks (and sales) will
result. In this case, a tremendously talented writer of fiction and essays takes
on the multi-millennial history of attempts to domesticate the infinite, from
Zeno's paradoxes through the development of the calculus to the emergence
of modern set theory.
I am skeptical of the general enterprise. Not on any prurient grounds, but because
(unlike an honest peepshow) it promises more than it can possibly deliver. It
seduces with the prospect of understanding, but what it ultimately provides is
little more than the illusion of insight. Understanding of achievements in high-level
science and mathematics cannot be had on the cheap, and so-called "general
understanding" is often merely a code word for the grasp of some pictures
and metaphors and the quasi-incorporation of a few strange words into one's
It is to Wallace's credit that he knows all this. While affirming that
his book is a piece of "pop technical writing" (in that
it seeks to survey a substantial amount of material for the benefit of an audience
without much preparation), Wallace is
determined not to make it "fuzzy or Newsweekish." He intends
to steer clear
of the Scylla of sensationalism by keeping his focus on the mathematical ideas
themselves (as opposed to the lives or general nuttiness of any particular cast
of characters). Of course, as he says, there's a hitch, namely that the
enterprise breaks up on the Charybdis of complexity, that readers with no preparation
may find it impossible to understand the ideas so presented.
Wallace's determination makes his book a glorious failure. Its glory consists
in a passion for the ideas he is trying to convey, a passion that leads him to
shun the usual journalistic pap served up in popularizations in favor of a depth,
breadth and complexity that, together with his scintillating style, make this
work a tour de force. It's a failure for precisely the same reasons: the
work weaves together so many subtle discussions of so many abstract problems,
confusions and achievements that no one without a good background in mathematics
could comfortably follow. (None of this is helped by the absence of a table of
contents, section headings and an index.) In fact, the reader who will most appreciate
this book may well be the one who is already conversant with these ideas but
has never before seen them knitted together in such an intelligent and humorous
narrative. (Though said reader may also be the one to snag on the errors scattered
throughout the text.)
That's not to say that general readers won't be entertained. Wallace's
full-throttle style will see to that: it is a quirky voice, at once very conversational
and highly learned, laden both with slang
and elegantly complex constructions, and replete with earthy vernacularisms,
wonderfully rare words and plenty of hilarious neologisms (my favorite: epistoschizoid).
(Some of these devices wear thin after a while; e.g., the "X-thing" locution,
as in "the whole algebraic-vs.-transcendental-irrational thing," begins
to grate after the nth iteration. As does Wallace's
general self-positioning as the outsider who eschews the "abstract math-class
vomitus" and
instead gives the skinny on what "almost
nobody ever tells undergraduates.") The humor extends even to the structure
of the book, which comes to be controlled
by an increasingly elaborate, frenzied and hopeless apparatus of digression.
The reader will not be merely entertained, but electrified by the book's
audacious and gripping chronicle of mankind's long struggle with the infinite.
Readers might not come away with an understanding of just how work on the uniqueness
of representations of functions by trigonometric series led Cantor to his theory
of the infinite. But they will appreciate something at least as important and
amazing: that the several-thousand-year-old pursuit of the infinite—the
infinite!—has essentially been one of the longest-running cross-cultural
projects of all time. Now that, to use one of Wallace's favorite words,
is weird.

What? Buy advertising to announce Extension programming? Tight budgets make that idea sound unworkable. However, a team of extension educators in Idaho tested the approach and found that paid advertising can be a good value for increasing a return to their invested time and effort. Among the findings of their research, using comparison pairs:
"A particularly striking contrast was a program on osteoporosis, which was canceled for lack of enrollment without paid advertising, but drew 64 attendees when it was advertised in the newspaper." More.
India tackles language challenges in using the Internet. Access to the Internet often falls far short of serving rural residents. A recent research report, "Role of ICTs in India rural communities," emphasized that most people in developing countries cannot read and understand most of the English-centric Internet content. Author Siriginidi Subba Rao reported that the adult literacy rate in India is about 59 percent, with the female literacy rate at about 47 percent. India officially recognizes 18 languages, each having a different character set. About two-thirds of India residents speak Hindi and less than 5 percent understand English. Lack of standardization of software code for major Indian languages creates interoperability problems between programs involving distinct codes.
You can read about challenges and current efforts to address them in this 2009 report.
Signs of "general confusion" about functional foods. In a survey reported recently, young adults in southern Italy revealed what researchers described as general confusion about the term "functional food." One-third of the sampled young consumers said they had never heard the term used. After researchers explained what functional food was, 12 percent of the respondents with science backgrounds were enthusiastic about the capabilities of such foods, 78 percent were trusting and 10 percent mistrustful. Among those with humanities backgrounds, 2 percent were enthusiastic, 38 percent were trusting, 46 percent mistrustful and 10 percent incredulous.
Findings also revealed how the channels through which these young consumers learned about functional foods appeared to influence willingness to accept them.
Two routes - two outcomes - in constructing rural identity. Two case studies in rural Queensland, Australia, examined efforts to use rural mythologies ("The Outback," in this case) for economic or social benefit.

Why consumers hesitate to buy meat and poultry at farmers markets. Researchers Lauren Gwin and Larry Lev used Rapid Market Assessment "dot" surveys among more than 1,100 consumers in Oregon to address this matter. They found that 49 percent of all respondents had never purchased any meat or poultry at any farmers market. Responses identified seven main reasons, topped by "price" (28 percent), "don't eat it" (19 percent) and "inconvenient" (17 percent). They also revealed the price premium those shoppers would pay for meat and poultry at the market versus "non-local" meat and poultry at the supermarket. Authors of the report suggested four ways to encourage more meat and poultry sales at farmers markets.
Communicator activities approaching
Always a close call. We end this issue of ACDC News with a Spanish proverb that came to our attention recently. It helps express the mission of communicators in agriculture:
"Civilization and anarchy are only seven meals apart."

|Review by: Jen Lofquist
The saying goes everyone has one book in them but it never goes on to say whether anyone wants to read it.
Part of me hates writing this review. Even though I didnt like the book, I liked Lib and Jan, and Im sorry that some of what Im about to say will hurt their feelings. Im sure they are nice people, and Im really sorry that both of them were hurt by the same man. But their story is just not a book.
You cant make something meaningful out of something as mundane as two ex-wives figuring out that they married the same jerk. Its not a new story. And, at the end of the day, it is not a very interesting one either. Sure theres the twist that one was black and one was white, but it cant save this book from becoming a litany of sins by Sidney Lander and thirteen chapters of barely connected vignettes.
The book is not helped by what can only be described as amateur
writing. At times it was so stilted and false, I honestly laughed
aloud. The introduction was simply painful. Since this was written
by aid of a ghost writer, you have to wonder how unreadable it
would have been without Dawn Josephson. These women were real,
yet they were reading so two-dimensionally I had to check a few
times to be sure that this wasnt
Im not going to venture to say that they are responsible in some way for being horribly mislead by a maneven after reading this book I dont feel as if I have enough information to make that call. But they are responsible for writing a revenge piece about their experiences and deciding to call it a book. Closure is wonderful, but until you can make it enlightening, interesting and readable, it has no place on my bookshelf.

AbstractCryptococcal meningitis (CM) kills more than 600,000 HIV-infected individuals globally per year, with the highest yearly incidence occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a critical need for a simple diagnostic tool for cryptococcosis that can be used in resource-limited countries. An innovative cryptococcal antigen lateral flow assay (CrAg LFA) has been developed in order to address this need. The CrAg LFA has been shown to be effective for use with serum, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, and urine specimens, but has not been optimized or evaluated for use with whole blood specimens, which is the ideal specimen type for resource limited countries with minimal laboratory infrastructure. The specific aims and anticipated results are the optimization of the CrAg LFA and the determination of the range of detection of CrAg in whole blood specimens. The success of this proposed study would have a profound public health impact, leading to earlier diagnosis of cryptococcosis and a reduction of CM-associated deaths.

In the words of Ari's mother, who sent a note to Kids Rock Cancer project director Peggy Musen, the day meant so much more than just a photo shoot. In the days leading to getting her picture taken, Ari spent time planning her outfit and getting her nails done—instead of thinking about how many times she felt sick that week or how her new chemo meds were making her tummy hurt. And during her infusion, rather than just sit through the treatment, Ari excitedly told all the doctors and nurses about her upcoming photo session.
Ari's mom ended her note by saying thanks for honoring her daughter with this opportunity. On behalf of Maryville University and everyone else involved with Kids Rock Cancer, I'd have to say it was Ari who honored us with that sweet smile. For more of Ari's story and how Kids Rock Cancer is helping children like her, turn to p. 18.

Hello, I would like to have a less bulbous/thick nose that's more defined at the tip. More bothersome is how wide my nose spreads when smiling. Physicians, would you recommend a tip plasty and/or an alar plasty? My ethnicity is half Korean, and I'm wondering if I should consider looking into pursuing these procedures in Korea, where they might understand my face a little better? Any suggestions fall upon listening ears! Thank you.

Rhinoplasty for bulbous tip and widened nostrils
Rhinoplasty to reduce the Bulbous tip involves a combination of suturing techniques to the nasal tip cartilages, grafting to the tip and occasional cartilage removal. An alar plasty is performed to narrow the nostrils by making an incision at the base of the nostrils and removing a small portion of skin. Osteotomies will be required to narrow the bridge line if necessary. Our rhinoplasty photo gallery link is listed below

My recommendation is to address the features which bother you. Adjustments in size and definition of tip, projection of tip, base of columella, and alar base width are all possibilities. Straightening dorsum may also be considered. There are thousands of excellent rhinoplasty surgeons in U.S., and, because we're in the most ethnically diverse country in the world, have experience with most presentations. South Korean surgeons are also undoubtedly equally expert at managing your concerns.

Tip Rhinoplasty with alar base reduction would provide your desired results
Dear freckles2010,
A tip plasty and alar base reduction would probably help you achieve the described desired results. There is no reason to go to Korea for this procedure. As a prominent nasal surgeon in Orange County I have the experience of operating on many different ethnic noses. We have a large population of patients with different ethnicity's and each ethnicity has it's own typical complaints related to these genetic differences. I provide computer imaging to my patients to allow the patient to see the proposed surgical result. Along with this I have hundreds of photographs which show the preoperative photograph, the digital imaging photograph and then the patient's final result. This allows the consulting patient the ability to see how close in proximity the proposed result is to their final result. An in office consultation with direct examination will help you with your questions and to see what the surgeon would suggest as the best surgical plan. Consultations are complimentary with digital imaging and then the patient can review the many before and after photographs of patient's with similar noses. I hope this is helpful to you and thank you for your inquiry. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

From the photos provided, the nose is a bit wide, crooked with a slightly wide nasal tip. Rhinoplasty would be able to thin/straghten the nose as well as thin the nasal tip.

Tip rhinoplasty works.
You have a dorsum of good height, and as you say the profile should not be changed. This makes the problems with your nose not particularly "Asian". You just need a tip plasty with the open approach, alar base reduction, an alar narrowing with a purse string suture.
Asian Rhinoplasty
Your goals could be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty wherein the nasal tip cartilages are narrowed and grafting is done at the tip to give more definition. The nostril flaring can be addressed by narrowing them with hidden incisions inside the nose. A detailed plan can only be determined with an in-person exam. Best wishes.

Asian rhinoplasty
There are plenty of gifted surgeons who have had experience working on Asian noses in Los Angeles. I am sure you will find someone who can provide you the results you are looking to achieve with tip definition (to correct the "bulbous" tip), and narrowing of the nostrils (alar base reduction). I would confirm that your vision is in agreement with your surgeon by asking for morphing of photos. Save the money you would spend on a ticket to Korea. Good luck!
Eurasian rhinoplasty
Your nose lacks some degree of tip projection and you have a wide nasal base. You would benefit from an open rhinoplasty with refinement of the nasal tip and a columellar strut graft for tip support.
Asian Rhinoplasty
You have bulbous tip with moderately thick skin and wide nasal base. The deviation of your nose which is exaggerated on smiling has be corrected. Ala are asymmetric and flared. The columella show has to be corrected. The nasal base can be reduced by Alar Repositioning Technique which does not leave any scars. Your dorsal height need not be affected. See before and after photos.
Asian rhinoplasty with tip refinement etc.
Asian rhinoplasty with tip refinement etc. is corrected by narrowing the cartilage with or without a tip graft and defating of the tip skin. This has worked well for me over the past 35 years.

Desperate for a Last Minte Present? Then Re-Gift!
Desperate for a gift as we approach Christmas Day? 1200 WOAI's Stephanie Narvaez reports that 're-gifting' has lost its stigma, and in many ways may be the perfect answer to your gift giving woes.
Re-gifting, of course, is taking a gift you have been given that you don't want or need, and giving it to somebody else.
Limor Suss, a lifestyle expert for Trend-girl.com, tells 1200 WOAI news there is 'no shame' in re-gifting.'
"Gifts should be unopened, unused, brand new," she said. "Even if it's a book-like thing, you can browse through it, but make sure the pages aren't creased or anything like that. You never want to re-gift something that isn't brand new."
She says used gifts are completely out, and if you do decide to re-gift, it's nice to give more than you got.
"A lot of times maybe you got a gift that you want to re-gift," she said. "Let's say you got a bottle of wine. How about amping it up by adding some monogrammed wine glasses? That just adds to the gift."
Experts say re-gifting clothing items is much more problematic due to styles and tests. She says clothing items should not be re-gifted, except for items like bathrobes.
"Alcohol is super easy to re-gift. What you don't way to re-gift is anything that is edible, anything that is perishable. You also don't want to re-gift something that somebody made you, something that is a DIY, you don't want to re-gift that."
Be sure to remove all of the tags and replace them, you certainly don't want to re-gift something which is still labeled as a gift to you.
And keep track of your gifts. The last thing you want to do is re-gift something back to the person who gave it to you.

SHIP-less in Myelodysplastic Syndromes - A Mathematical Solution
Wednesdays@NICO Seminar, Noon, October 07 2009, Chambers Hall, Lower Level
Professors Sean Seth Corey, MD & Zak Whichard, BA-Pediatrics, Feinberg School of Medicine
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by exaggerated apoptosis in their earliest stages but loss of apoptosis in their late stages during transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. The molecular basis for this change is not known. PI 3'kinase critically regulates cell survival through effectors such as Akt. Two lipid phosphatases, PTEN and SHIP1, dephosphorylate phosphoinositides, resulting in the loss of signaling by PI 3'kinase. Immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry of bone marrow specimens from patients with MDS show increased levels of phospho-Akt, variable levels of PTEN and uniformly decreased SHIP1 expression. Expression of SHIP1, but not a phosphatase-deficient mutant, inhibited myeloid leukemic growth. We found increased miR-210 and miR-155 transcripts in CD34+ MDS cells compared to normal CD34+ cells. Direct binding of miR-210 to 3'UTR of SHIP1 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. Transfection with miR-210 resulted in loss of SHIP1 protein expression. SHIP1 expression increased with transfection of its antagomir. Informed by experimental results we assume that complex formation is an elementary reaction obeying mass action kinetics and that miRNA is recycled upon the directed degradation of mRNA transcripts. Our model was validated by showing that it was able to reproduce experimentally known patterns of miRNA-induced gene regulation. More importantly, sensitivity analysis revealed that, among the kinetic parameters considered, protein concentration is most sensitive to changes in miRNAs synthesis rate. Thus our model supports the development of miRNA-based therapies to downregulate particular genes associated with cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

Crosby feels 'great,' interested in NHL's CBA
Penguins center Sidney Crosby spoke to Hockey Night in Canada reporter Elliotte Friedman during Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday in Los Angeles and gave a glowing report of his health.
Crosby reported that he has resumed normal summer workouts.
"I feel great," he said. "This is really the first summer I've had in a couple of summers to get ready for next season. I'm excited. I'm ready to go."
Crosby attended last night's game with his agent, Pat Brisson.
Crosby sustained a couple of nasty hits in the first round of the playoffs against the Flyers — notably a collision with teammate Evgeni Malkin. Crosby admitted after the series that he would have preferred avoiding those collisions. But he confirmed that none of the hits he withstood in the series disrupted his health.
Crosby missed 101 games over the past two seasons because of concussion problems.
He's not only working out this offseason but also is taking interest in the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, which expires Sept. 15. He said he met yesterday with Donald Fehr, the head of the NHLPA.
"For any player," Crosby said, "it's nice to get up to speed and talk to Don. I'm going to be involved."

On April 10 The Westmorland Gazette launched its 'Hands off our Hospital' campaign.
It was aimed at safeguarding services at Kendal's Westmorland General Hospital. It sought assurances that GPs, Clinical Commissioning Groups and the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust would protect the future of WGH; that the site would not be transferred or 'gifted' to a third party and services and staff would remain in the hands of the NHS.
It came in the wake of an ongoing review, which aims to create a long-term plan for healthcare around the bay.
The newspaper launched the campaign after two consultants raised concerns about WGH's future after attending a briefing where they said chief executive of UHMBT Jackie Daniel said services at the site could be moved at Lancaster and the idea of WGH being gifted to to a 'social enterprise' was discussed.
Since then the response from our readers has been amazing.
More than 3,000 have taken the time to complete and send us a coupon from the newspaper, while nearly 100 others have completed the coupon online.
This week the Gazette handed over the coupons to the Better Care Together (BCT) team, which is carrying out the review.
It could be argued the newspaper jumped the gun by launching the campaign. While the BCT team yesterday said it was pleased so many people were interested in services at WGH, perhaps it would have been happier if we had held off until any proposals were in the public domain.
However, we believe it was right to launch when we did. The hospital and the services it provides are an essential part of the fabric of this community.
We wanted decision makers to know the strength of feeling now - before they came up with proposals for the public to consider.
In the meantime, the fantastic response should leave health chiefs in no doubt - local people want to see our hospital remain at the heart of healthcare in this area.

Israels right to hit Iran goes viral (TIMES OF ISRAEL) By MICHAL SHMULOVICH 04/22/12)
Source: http://www.timesofisrael.com/pro-israel-activist-group-releases-viral-videos-on-why-israel-has-legal-moral-right-to-attack-iran/
TIMES OF ISRAEL Articles-Index-Top
YouTube clips, viewed by over 2 million people, compare Iranian threat to the Holocaust
A series of videos asserting that Israel is within its legal and moral rights to attack Iran have gone viral, and had been seen by over two million people as of Sunday. They were launched by the pro- Israeli activist group The Land of Israel.
The videos assert Israels obligation to protect its people from a genocidal dictator.
As of Sunday, the first of the videos, Iran vs. Israel Back to the future, had been viewed about 1 million times since it was posted two weeks ago. The second, Iran vs. Israel No fear, posted late last week, had received over 1,650,000 views at the time of writing.
Back to the future, portrays Holocaust-era Jews, powerless and dejected, who tried to enter the United States on the USS St. Louis but were forced to return to Nazi Germany. To a soundtrack of orchestrated music, American-born Jeremy Gimpel, one of the co- founders of the group, indirectly equates the gravity of the Iranian threat with that of the Holocaust.
We are reliving the year 1939 but this time is different, says Gimpel, referring to the start of World War II and with it the Holocaust.
But, this time, we have been resurrected, he adds, referring to the State of Israel and Jews ability to defend themselves. We must never depend on the help of any other country for survival, he goes on, asserting that Israel is facing a threat unparalleled in world history from Iran.
No fear, the second video, narrated by Ari Abramowitz, another American-born co-founder of the group, takes a different approach.
He talks about Irans desire to conquer the world and being on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons (if the regime does not have them already, he adds) with sound bites of Irans President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad invoking the leader of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, at a massive rally Our dear imam, you stated that the arrogant powers of the world must be annihilated! to which the crowd erupted in cheers.
Abramowitz offers an explanation for the worlds ostensible paralysis vis-à-vis a nuclear Iran. Its called cognitive dissonance, he says, the subconscious denial of something so terrifying that the gravity of the threat is totally denied despite the catastrophic consequences of inaction.
He adds that Israel cannot afford to act that way.
A third video is to be posted soon, the group says.
Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likened the Iranian threat to the Holocaust in an address marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. Nobel Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel rejected the comparison. Tehran will not build another Auschwitz, Wiesel said.
Israeli groups have also taken action against the perceived Israeli gear-up for an attack on Iran. The Iranians we love you social media campaign went viral in March after a group of Israelis tried to extend to their Iranian counterparts messages of friendship rather than aggression.
Hundreds also protested the prospect of Israel bombing Iran in Tel Aviv in March.
The Israeli media has recently debated what an Israeli attack on Iran would mean for the Israeli public and if such an attack is necessary.
The United States and Europe have tried to engage Iran about its nuclear program, and US President Barack Obama indicated that if the Iranians can prove that the nature of its program is demonstrably civilian and peaceful that the US would tolerate it.
The last round of talks, in Istanbul, between Iran and the P5+1 group the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, plus Germany brought some hope for a breakthrough with Iran, but no concrete decisions were taken. Talks are set to resume in Baghdad on May 23. (© 2012 THE TIMES OF ISRAEL 04/22/12)

FHSU shooting club
Earlier this year, the owner of Joe Bob Outfitters, Joseph Boeckner, and the Fort Hays State University Shooting Club held a raffle for a set of engraved Browning Medallion Series A-Bold rifles, selling raffle tickets for $50 each.
The advisor of the shooting club prefers the assembly and goals of the FHSU team, compared to other in-state colleges.
"We are probably the most structured, organized group out there right now. We travel extensively, we compete extensively." said Duane Shepherd, associate professor of health and human performance.
Kilee Hutchison, Lakin senior, believes the reason the team is so good, is because of how close all of the team members are outside of school and practice.
"What a lot of people notice about the team is that we're like a family, we all have classes together, a couple of the boys live together, and we don't live very far from each other, and we all run around together." Hutchison said.
"We're a close knit group, we have each other's back." said Josh Crankshaw, North Platte, Neb. freshman.
The team also participates and competes in many different types of shooting.
"We participate in basically all the shotgun sports: trap, trap doubles, skeet, skeet doubles. The international events that they compete in the Olympics: bunker and international skeet. We do sporting clay and five stand, just about all of them." Damian Giles, graduate student. Hutchison said her favorite type of shooting is bunker trap, while Crankshaw and Giles enjoy shooting in the sporting clay category.
Although each team member enjoys shooting a different type of shotgun sport event, they are all encouraged to compete and try their best in all available events.
"The students that come and shoot for us, they're all very, very good in two or three events, probably considered experts in two or three events, but our club philosophy is that all of our members shoot all events, so that has been our goal, we want everyone to be good, but competitive across the board. We function very highly on the team aspect," Shepherd said.
The team has also traveled a lot to shoot competitively. Over the years, the group has traveled to Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Texas for their national event. The Association of College Unions International national shooting events are held in San Antonio, Texas, each year. The team also travels to Sparta, Ill., to compete in the trap shooting national event, held by the Scholastic Clay Target Program.
While traveling, the team has enjoyed riding together and bonding in the van, but they said they are always excited to finally arrive at their destination. Competing at different places over the years, some members have discovered certain places to be their favorites. Hutchison said she liked to shoot at the Whittington Center in Raton, NM, while Giles and Crankshaw liked shooting at the range in Tucson, Ariz.
Due to the FHSU shooting team's traveling and competing, many out-of-state students are beginning to notice and consider FHSU for their education and sports.
As well as attracting nationwide students, the shooting team has expanded internally over the past few years. The team began with five members, slowly made its way to nine members, and is up to 15 members this year. Shepherd said that as the team's advisor, he enjoys watching them grow and be successful.
Nationally, 34 colleges were competing when FHSU first got involved, and now there are over 150 universities competing throughout the country.
As well as paying for traveling expenses, the team must pay for registration and entries into each meet and event. The team also has to keep their equipment updated, by purchasing new parts and supplies. The funding for these expenses is paid in part by the Midway Foundation, owned by Larry and Brenda Potterfield. The Midway Foundation was started as a way to promote shooting sports at colleges and universities nationwide. A portion of the money, from the raffle held earlier this year, was put into the Midway Foundation's account, which the foundation matched. The team is able to withdraw five percent of the account's balance each year, to pay for all of their event registrations, travel expenses, and equipment.
Each team member takes their time each week to practice the sport and better their abilities. Like other sports, the members record their shots and scores to keep a record of their progress.
The team usually practices on Tuesday nights at the Hays City Sportsman's Club, and sometimes travel to Wichita to practice on different turf.
The Fort Hays shooting team was founded in the summer of 2005 by Shepherd and five FHSU students. The team currently has 15 members, made up of 12 men and three women.
The public is welcome to attend a recreational shooting practice nights on Thursdays at 5 p.m., where instruction is provided and people may come out and shoot at their leisure.

iOS 6 shipped with a new panorama feature for the Camera application. The feature is enabled on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch 5G. While the feature is nice, Apple left out one important feature what do you do when the lighting conditions aren't great? Apple has actually disabled the ability to use the flash while taking a panorama shot.
To fix this, a new jailbreak tweak called Flashorama by iOS developer PoomSmart will give the user the ability to enable the camera flash while shooting a panorama picture if they want to.
Flashorama adds the flash on/off button back to the Camera interface while shooting a panorama picture. When off, the button is transparent, while when on, the button turns yellow. The tweak will have no negative impact on your panorama picture results, as you have the option to toggle the flash in dark lighting conditions at your leisure. So it's just a handy option.
Flashorama is available for free right now in the BigBoss repository. The tweak has been tested on iOS 6 only and can only be installed on an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPod touch 5G, as these are the only devices that support the panorama feature on iOS 6. The tweak can be enabled or disabled at any time from the Settings application.
Also, while checking out Flashorama, check out more of PoomSmart's jailbreak tweaks for the Camera application that enable features Apple disables by default:
- LLBiPT5 enable low light boost mode on iPod touch 5G
- Still Camera Enabler enable capturing still images while recording video on iPod touch 5G
- FaceDetectionVideo4S enable face detection while shooting video on iPhone 4S

Leicester, UK (SPX) Feb 19, 2014
Orang-utans come down from the trees and spend more time on the ground than previously realised - but this behaviour may be partly influenced by man, a new study has found.
Dr Mark Harrison, based in the Department of Geography at the University of Leicester and Managing Director of the Orang-utan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop) has, along with international colleagues, published results of a seven year study of orang-utans in Borneo in the journal Scientific Reports.
The research, conducted between June 2006 and March 2013, is based on a large-scale analysis of orang-utan terrestriality using comprehensive camera-trapping data from 16 sites across Borneo. In total there were 641 independent orang-utan records taken at 1,409 camera trap stations over 159,152 trap days.
The Bornean orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus) is the world's largest arboreal (tree-dwelling) mammal. Records of terrestrial behaviour are rare and tend to be associated with habitat disturbance.
Marc Ancrenaz, from the HUTAN / Kinabatangan Orang-utan Conservation Programme in Malaysia, and colleagues conducted the study. Dr Harrison, said: "We've known for some time that orang-utans use the ground to travel and search for food, but the influence of anthropogenic disturbances in driving this behaviour has been unclear. This is crucial to understand in this age of rampant forest loss and fragmentation, which is slicing up the orang-utan's jungle home.
"We found that although the degree of forest disturbance and canopy gap size influenced terrestriality, orang-utans were recorded on the ground as often in heavily degraded habitats as in primary forests.
"All age-sex classes were recorded on the ground, but flanged males - those with distinctive cheek pads and throat pouches - travel on the ground more. This suggests that terrestrial locomotion is a greater part of the Bornean orang-utan's natural behavioural repertoire than previously understood and is only modified by habitat disturbance."
Dr Harrison added: "The capacity of orang-utans to come down from the trees may increase their ability to cope with at least smaller-scale forest fragmentation, and to cross moderately open spaces in mosaic landscapes, although the extent of this versatility remains to be investigated."
The authors report that more than 70% of orang-utans occur in fragmented multiple-use and human-modified forests that have lost many of their original ecological characteristics. Modified orang-utan behaviour which sees them increasingly spending time on the ground therefore has its pros and cons:
Dr Harrison explains that "Increased terrestriality is expected to increase predation risk, interactions with and persecution by humans, and exposure to novel diseases. Unlike in Sumatra, where tigers are present, predation is less of a concern in Borneo, although infants might be at risk from bearded pigs and clouded leopards.
In recent history, their biggest predator has been man, who is actually more likely to pick orang-utans off in the trees: orang-utans make a lot of noise and so are very obvious in the trees, whereas they can move with almost no noise and so more easily get away on the ground."
The scientists report that terrestrial behaviour therefore could also facilitate movement and dispersal, especially in degraded or fragmented landscapes as a result of natural or man-made processes. This could also create new opportunities to access different food sources."
Dr Harrison concludes: "Ultimately, a better understanding of what drives orang-utan terrestriality, how this influences their dispersal, movement and survival in a human-modified landscapes is important for designing effective management strategies for conservation of this endangered species in Borneo."

I have seen a number of recent articles about Voter ID acts in various states with Arizona being foremost in the News right now. First let me say that I personally see nothing wrong with showing my ID to vote. I have done it all my life. Never have I gone to vote and was not asked for my ID which they used to match me up to the voter registration lists. To me it makes common sense to prove that I am the person using MY registered voter name to cast a vote.
What I am having a problem with is the lack of Proof that is thrown about to support this issue. The Supporters of these Bills keep throwing out vague numbers and comments like "Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Voted in the XXXX Elections", then cite a BLOG to support their claim.
Really a BLOG?, What the heck if there really are that many illegal voters there must have been some arrests some where in this country. So I am asking for all of you who are so Adamant in supporting these Bills on the Grounds that Illegal Aliens are Voting to Please Cite Sources from Local Police Department, State Attorneys, US Attorneys, or the Department of Justice.
If all you really have is a BLOG then you have nothing.
Another issue brought up by these same supporters of the Voter ID bills is that Students from other states are coming to their state and voting after they have been in state for a year. Hello, if you or I move to another state and live there a Year we are now official residents of that new state, unless we continue to file tax returns in the original state. Oh but wait you say, what if they don't file taxes and are claimed as a Dependant by their parents. Then that should make them a resident of the state their parent lives in, unless there is legal justification to claim otherwise.
Should be easy enough to check new registrations against the Tax Department records, and if you have not lived in a new state long enough to file taxes then you should be voting absentee in your old state, student or adult.
As to Students ID not being accepted as ID for voting, I can understand this because they don't identify who is or is not a resident of the state. Make it a Requirement that Student ID Clearly state Resident on it, when they meet residency requirements. Not only will this help the Voting issue but also to help in making sure that out of state students don't collect the benefits afforded to Resident Students.
The Reason I support Voter ID is simple. Do a search on your Name, I did on mine and found 2 others with the same first and last name, Both of them live in States that I have lived in in the past.
The CoH will be strictly enforced here, I hate deleting people but if you toss any Insults you will be reported and deleted.

Support the library, clear out that stuff!
Many people find this a good time to clear unwanted items from their homes in preparation for the New Year. Consider donating these items to the Second Edition Resale Shop.
Second Edition is the major ongoing fundraiser for the Cedar Mill Community Library Association, a tax-exempt corporation dedicated to providing free public library services. Sales of donated art, jewelry, antiques, and gently-used or like-new furniture, household items, and clothing netted over $143,000 for the library in 2007. The funds raised are used for books and media, storytimes, helpful librarians to answer your questions, computer classes for seniors and much more!
Donation receipts are available for tax purposes. Your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent provided by the law.
Volunteers play a vital role at Second Edition by accepting, sorting, appraising, and selling donated merchandise. The shop runs on a skeleton crew on the weekends so they are unable to accept donations due to a lack of storage space. Therefore, please bring your donations on weekdays during open business hours. Also, please do not leave items outside, as these can become damp, damaged, or stolen.
Second Edition is powered by more than 80 volunteers, and is always looking for more, especially during the holidays. These volunteers range from teenagers to octogenarians. They are dedicated to making the shop a success and are passionate about supporting the library.
Please call 503-644-6395 or visit www.cedarmill.org/library for Second Edition donation guidelines, volunteer positions available, and information on sales and events. And if you have not been in the shop, stop by today and see the attractive displays, and the quality merchandise available. Thank you for supporting your community library!

From Bureau of Economic Geology, The
University of Texas at Austin (www.beg.utexas.edu).
39th Annual Meeting, South-Central Section of the Geological Society of America, San Antonio, Texas, April 1-2, 2005
Occurrence of Mineral-filled Microfractures in Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks as Determined by SEM-based cathodoluminescence Imaging
Microfractures lined with substrate-controlled mineral fill (primarily quartz but also feldspar and calcite) are common, if not ubiquitous, features in igneous and metamorphic rocks. SEM-based cathodoluminescence systems (scanned CL) allow improved visualization of these microfractures, which are typically filled with minerals similar to their host grains and are therefore obscure to invisible using light microscopy. Microfractures in these rocks tend to cut across multiple grains and form in sets of similar orientation. Multiple generations of microfractures are not uncommon. Temperatures of formation for various microfracture generations vary from metamorphic to diagenetic conditions. Previous studies had recognized some high-temperature microfractures in igneous and metamorphic rocks, but lower temperature microfractures are present as well. Microfractures may provide important fluid pathways during metamorphism or diagenetic zone alteration.
Microfracture-filling minerals observed
in this study appear to form by sealing (crystallization of minerals from
a fluid), rather than healing (fill by intracrystalline diffusion). Fluid
inclusion planes, which are commonly associated with these fractures,
are narrower than the fracture aperture visible in CL images. In some
larger fractures, multiple fluid inclusion planes in the fill result from
progressive opening (crack-seal texture).
Determination of the temperature at
which the microfractures formed is nontrivial. Clues include fracture
morphology, minerals cut by the microfractures, cross-cutting relationships
with structural elements in the rocks, the type of mineral fill, and the
CL characteristics of the fill. In metamorphic rocks, microfractures run
the gamut from those relict from the protolith (premetamorphic) to those
formed under submetamorphic conditions during uplift. Fluid inclusions
in the microfracture fill provide an opportunity for qualitative determination
of conditions during deformation.

With the gaze, the eyes tend to focus on a single point, or else to gaze into the distance, as though in an effort to conjure the presence of the disembodied voice.1327k PDF Link (via Joi Ito)

Licensed Professional Counselor
100 5th Street, Suite 310, Bristol, Tennessee 37620
The basis of society is the family. Growing up around other people, we learn how to treat one another and what to expect from the world. When there is conflict in our households, every family member has the potential to carry that conflict or attitude out into the world-- our schools, workplaces, the playgrounds, even into our churches. Family therapy can diagnose and treat the conflicts that we all encounter from time to time.

I believe in the power of an effective family. They can be our greatest refuge and sanctuary in the times of storm. Families can sometimes become "stuck" when the system isn't allowed to grow and develop appropriately and when boundaries are not effectively implemented, understood and respected. I will work with you and your family to resolve conflict, understand and then build upon your strengths.

The family is the foundation of our society. It is so easy, however, for the family unit to lose focus and fall into a myriad of problems. Sometimes the need is to involve the whole family in counseling to understand the unique dynamics that each member brings. Today there also has to be strong focus on blended families since it is quite prevalent in our society.

Solutions \ Solutions for Your Role \ Compliance Officers
Organizations face a myriad of evolving regulations governing information protection, internal controls and endpoint risk management. Corporate compliance officers are tasked with the day-to-day management of policy or regulatory compliance, ensuring that issues within the organization are appropriately evaluated, investigated and resolved.
Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, PIPEDA, GLBA, CA SB1386, FISMA, FDCC, PCI, EU, Basel II, and NERC are just a sampling of the many regulations that require compliance from a security perspective. These standards require different security measures and processes to be enforced around data protection and system integrity, and also require detailed audit trails that prove regulatory or policy compliance. While enterprises face mounting threats from external and inside forces, compliance officers must ensure that policies are established and enforced throughout the organization, in order to maintain system integrity and confidentiality of customer records, personally identifiable information, intellectual property, personal medical records, classified data, or financial information. Without the proper security management solution, compliance officers are not provided with the capabilities to effectively perform the duties of their job, such as:

As foreshadowed in The Australian Financial Review,
Suncorp's executive general manager of real estate, Peter Affleck, said the five would be trimmed to two by the end of August.
"We have now issued the five with a competitive request for proposals outlining the technical aspects of design," he said.
Lend Lease is pushing for a campus-style building as part of its $2.9 billion redevelopment of Brisbane's RNA Showgrounds, while Leighton Properties is drawing up plans for a 45,000 sq m tower on the University of Queenland's dentistry school site at 200 Turbot Street.
The Leighton development is the closest site to Suncorp's current headquarters at Brisbane Square which takes in 24,000 sq m separately from the new tender. Suncorp has about 5000 staff to house.
Stage one of the Waterloo development is to become Watpac's new headquarters after the J B Fairfax family bought it for about $37 million this year.
The Grollo family's Grocon is on Suncorp's shortlist with 401 Adelaide Street, the former Trilogy site which Grocon has under option. The developer is only likely to proceed if it wins the Suncorp tender.
Grocon has already had a recent win in the city, gaining the Australian Taxation Office's Brisbane headquarters for a new project.
The fifth developer is a joint venture between Anthony John Group and Brookfield Multiplex on the corner of Vulture and Grey Streets at South Bank.
Anthony John's development, along with Watpac's and Lend Lease's, are all outside the central business district.
Suncorp originally received 25 proposals in response to its tender for between 27,000 and 30,000 sq m of new space achieving a six-star Green Star rating.
Mr Affleck has a reputation for moving big companies out of traditional CBD office space. He was behind National Australia Bank's move to Melbourne's Docklands.

23 May to Min. Bleijie - Misclassification
|You can view the original letter here
Mr. Jarrod Bleijie
Attorney General
GPO Box 149
Brisbane QLD 4001
Dear Jarrod,
Re: Misclassification of Standard or Accommodation Modules April 2014
Thank you for your email dated 13 May 2014 in response to mine of April 9.
Subsequent to sending my email I received a copy of a study produced by Griffith University titled: "Residents Experiences in Condominiums: A Case Study of Australian Apartment Living", which on receipt, I directed to your good self and referred to it as supporting the argument that I had made in my email. In your response you made no reference to this case study, and I can only assume that it was not received. As this document is of significant importance to the issues being represented, I direct it to you a second time.
Of particular importance are pages 5 & 6 which detail the conflict to participants by the misclassifications and lack of clarity of building use, and pages 8 to 10 detailing confusion, and misrepresentation in the unit purchasing process. These issues, coupled with the Government's failure to clarify and enforce Australian Building Codes have contributed to the continuing misuse of Class 2 buildings for short term rental. The example of the V77 development, described by the developer as residential, yet classified Accommodation Module, as history demonstrates, will lead to unwanted short term rentals at that development. You suggest that the Accommodation Module "clearly states" that for it to apply, lots in the scheme must be predominately accommodation lots. If a development is described as residential by the developer and can be classified Accommodation Module by that same developer, the clarity you suggest is not evident. As developers are clearly confused, that clarity must be provided as part of the current review to stop these deliberate misclassifications to enhance the developer's reward at the ongoing cost to owners through inflated levies for at least 25 years.
The final paragraph to your letter advises that any prospective purchaser "do their due diligence and seek appropriate professional advice". I am sure all prospective purchasers do follow your advice, for it is incomprehensible to consider making such purchases without legal support. But why are there so many stories and complaints of the likes referred to in the study on pages 8 to 10, if your advice is the answer to solving these problems. Could it be a failing of the law to provide adequate consumer protection as guaranteed by Section 4 (g) of the Body Corporate and Community Management Act, and what is being addressed in the current review to remedy these research based failings?
I appreciate your referral to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, in recording community management statements for new schemes to ensure the appropriate regulation module under the BCCM Act is applied to a scheme. However, this matter being of such importance to intending buyers of lots, it is only reasonable to expect that greater clarity be provided in the BCCM Act to insure the fullest transparency, disclosure and protection to those buyers. The current review provides this opportunity.
Kindest regards,
Wayne Stevens
cc. ··· Hon. Andrew Cripps MP, Minister for Natural Resources and Mines.
