Nursing homes hit hard by 'nightmare' flu season
What may be one of the worst flu seasons to hit Western Pennsylvania in a decade is producing "nightmare" scenarios in nursing homes and leading church officials to distribute hand sanitizer and urge sick parishioners to stay home.
More than 120 long-term-care facilities statewide have confirmed flu cases since the season began in October. About 20 are in Allegheny County, where health officials often urge affected homes to limit visitor access, isolate flu patients or take other precautions, said Dr. Ronald Voorhees, acting county health director.
"It is really a nightmare. We are seeing widespread outbreaks within facilities," said Dr. David A. Nace, chief of medical affairs for UPMC Senior Communities. He called it "probably the worst" flu season in nursing homes in about a decade.
Pennsylvania counted 40 flu-related deaths as of Saturday, 18 of them last week. Most fatalities involved the elderly.
Nearly all senior-care facilities in the UPMC network have logged flu or other respiratory cases this season, Nace said.
He said many nursing homes are paring visitation and deferring or limiting new admissions for days at a time, hoping to protect patients.
Some have temporarily paused all new admissions, Nace said, though it wasn't clear how many have taken that step.
"The main thing is for the protection of the person coming in" for housing, Nace said. "You want to protect the patient at all costs. That's the primary reason."
Churches have adjusted their practices in light of the widening influenza season. Many have amended services to reduce contact among parishioners, distributing liquid sanitizers and suspending hand-to-hand salutations.
"A lot of United Methodist churches are making public announcements to their churches, encouraging (members) to stay home if they're sick," said Greg Cox, director of connectional ministries for the Western Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Nace said Western Pennsylvania appears to be hitting the peak of flu season, which accelerated earlier than usual in the first days of December.
Laboratory tests confirmed 5,069 new flu cases statewide last week, up from 4,256 cases the week before, according to state health data released Tuesday.
Health officials caution the confirmed cases represent only a fraction of the flu outbreak, which can infect as much as 10 percent of the population each year.
"Our cases continue to rise. We haven't reached the peak yet," said Dr. Ram Nambiar, acting director at the state epidemiology bureau.
But Voorhees said the surge may be slowing in Allegheny County, which leads Pennsylvania with 1,249 of 16,511 confirmed flu cases statewide since October.
Just less than 5 percent of emergency-department visits this week in the county involve flulike symptoms, down from 6 percent about 10 days ago, he said.
"I think we're probably past the peak but by no means over it," he said. "It takes a month to build up (to a peak). It'll take a month to go back down. It's still not gone."
Voorhees called this the most robust flu season in several years. And "it would be better if people had gotten their flu shot last fall.
"But if they haven't, it's still not too late to get one now," Voorhees said. The flu vaccination developed for 2012-13 is about 62 percent effective, which means those who get the shot are 62 percent less likely to see a doctor for flu treatments, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
At West Penn Allegheny Health System, which includes Allegheny General, West Penn and Forbes Regional hospitals, flu cases appear on par with last week, said Dr. Thomas Campbell, the emergency medicine chairman. "It's not gotten any worse."
Nace said the trend lines should be more clear in a week or so.
"We're either at the top of the hump or just slightly beyond it," he said.

For some, one of those surprises is the non-existence of major medical and catastrophic coverage.
Those policies as we know them today will be "extinct" under the healthcare reform act.
This "extinction" does not mean these benefits will not be obtainable, but, only outside of the exchanges and only for a penalty, which increases every year.
Also, Americans will be able to choose from four levels of coverage, starting with bronze and ending with platinum.

(Circulated by authority of the Attorney-General,
the Hon Robert McClelland MP)
The purpose of these amendments to Schedule 1 of the Federal Court of Australia Amendment (Criminal Jurisdiction) Bill 2008 (the Bill) is to respond to the recommendations of the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs (the Committee) following its inquiry into the Bill and to make certain other amendments.
The Bill currently provides the procedural framework which will allow the Federal Court to exercise the indictable jurisdiction which it will be given in relation to serious cartel offences under the Trade Practices Act 1974.
The substantive amendments proposed to the Bill will provide the following:
· that the accused must give notice of a proposed defence of alibi or mental impairment even if there is no Court order for disclosure
· that the accused is only required to give a general indication of their reasons for dispute of the prosecution case against them and is not required to disclose details of a proposed defence
· that there is no general removal of legal professional privilege but that such privilege is temporarily overridden in a limited range of circumstances at the pre-trial stage
· clarification of the consequences of non-compliance with disclosure requirements
· clarification of the process of preparation of jury rolls and jury lists by the Federal Court
· clarification of the test for a further application for bail
· clarification that there is a general presumption in favour of bail in relation to cartel offences heard in the Federal Court
· clarification that the prosecution does not have power to give directions to the Court.
The amendments are not expected to have any significant financial impact.
Amendment 1
1. This is a consequential amendment which updates the note at the end of proposed section 23CA to reflect the insertion of new proposed subsection 23CD(2) at amendment 5 and removes some words which potentially may be unclear from the context.
Amendment 2
2. This amendment inserts references to subsection 23CD(1). It is consequential to the insertion of new proposed subsection 23CD(2) at amendment 5.
Amendment 3
3. This amendment omits the heading to clause 23CD and substitutes a new heading. It is consequential to the insertion of new subsection 23CD(2) at amendment 5.
Amendment 4
4. This amendment reflects the need to renumber existing clause 23CD to reflect the insertion of new proposed subsection 23CD(2) at amendment 5.
Amendment 5
5. This amendment adds new proposed subsection 23CD(2) to provide that the accused must give notice of a proposed defence of alibi or mental impairment as soon as practicable after the first pre-trial hearing in the matter. This reflects the position that an accused should give notice of an intention to raise one of these defences as soon as practicable, in any circumstances, regardless of whether there is an order for pre-trial disclosure by the Court.
6. A note is also added to make it clear that a party may be subject to other disclosure obligations outside the disclosure obligations under the Bill.
Amendment 6
7. This is a consequential amendment which updates the numbering for proposed subsection 23CF to reflect the insertion of new proposed subsection 23CF(2) at amendment 10.
Amendments 7 and 8
8. These amendments add the word 'general' to 'basis' where occurring in proposed subsection 23CF in relation to the disclosure obligations of the accused. Where the Court makes an order under proposed section 23CD the accused must, in general terms, indicate the basis for taking issue in relation to any fact, matter or circumstance set out in the notice of the prosecution's case.
9. The addition of 'general' to the word 'basis' is intended to clarify that the disclosure requirement will be satisfied if the accused states whether they take issue with a particular fact, matter or circumstance asserted by the prosecution, and if so, the general basis for taking issue. There is no requirement to disclose details of a proposed defence other than a defence based on alibi or mental impairment. There is also no requirement for the accused to disclose what evidence they intend to lead to refute a particular fact. It will be a matter for the Court to determine in the individual case whether the requirement to indicate the general basis for taking issue with a fact, matter or circumstances has been satisfied.
Amendment 9
10. This amendment omits paragraphs 23CF(i) and (j) and is consequential to the insertion of new proposed subsection 23CD(2) at amendment 5.
Amendment 10
11. New proposed subsection 23CF(2) reinforces that the accused is not required to disclose details of their proposed defence, except in relation to a proposed defence of alibi or mental impairment.
Amendment 11
12. This amendment inserts a reference to paragraph 23CF(1)(k). It is consequential to amendment 10 which inserts a new subsection 23CF(1).
Amendment 12
13. This amendment inserts a reference to subsection 23CD(1). It is consequential to amendment 5 which inserts a new proposed subsection 23CD(2).
Amendment 13
14. This amendment deletes reference to subsection 23CH(3). It is consequential to amendment 5.
Amendment 14
15. This amendment reflects the fact that there will no longer be a paragraph 23CH(2)(f). It is consequential to amendment 15.
Amendment 15
16. This amendment omits paragraph 23CH(2)(f) as a consequence of amendment 19 which inserts new proposed subsections 23CM(3) and (4).
Amendment 16
17. This amendment omits proposed subsection 23CH(3) in its entirety as it is superseded by amendment 19. Amendment 19 clarifies the procedure in relation to additional or supporting evidence of an alibi or mental impairment.
Amendment 17
18. This amendment omits reference to section 23CD to reflect the consequences of amendment 5.
Amendment 18
19. This amendment omits proposed section 23CL in its entirety and substitutes a new proposed section 23CL. The intention is to clarify what effect an order for disclosure under Subdivision C of the Bill will have on legal professional privilege and other rights and privileges that may apply to material that is required to be disclosed.
20. New proposed subsection (1) clarifies that a party cannot refuse to disclose material on the basis that it is covered by litigation privilege. This clarifies that a party cannot refuse to disclose material which there is an obligation to disclose on the basis that it came into existence for use in or in connection with the current proceedings or other litigation.
21. New proposed subsection 23CL(2) clarifies that subsection (1) is not a general abrogation or waiver of legal professional privilege. This means that the law relating to legal professional privilege is not affected except as specified in subsection (1). In particular, the fact that material is disclosed under subsection (1) will not amount to a waiver of any litigation privilege that may apply to the material. It will remain open to a party who holds privilege in the material to claim privilege, if they wish to do so, in later proceedings or at a later stage in the current proceedings.
22. New proposed subsection 23CL(3) clarifies that the operation of the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004 and the law relating to public interest immunity are not abrogated or affected by this Subdivision.
23. New proposed subsection 23CL(4) clarifies that the Subdivision does not affect the law governing any other duties relating to disclosure. That will include any law that imposes duties and obligations on an investigating agency.
24. New proposed subsection 23CL(5) provides definitions for legal privilege and litigation privilege.
Amendment 19
25. This amendment substitutes a new section for existing section 23CM. The Bill currently lists a range of orders the Court may make in relation to a party's compliance, or failure to comply, with an order under section 23CD. The proposed subsection (1) provides that the Court has the discretion to make such orders as it thinks appropriate to ensure full compliance with any order for pre-trial and on-going disclosure by a party under section 23CD.
26. New proposed subsection 23CM(2) would provide that the Court's power to make orders under proposed section 23CM must not be exercised if to do so would result in an unfair trial.
27. New proposed subsections 23CM(3) and (4) would provide that if the accused fails to provide notice of an intention to rely on a defence of alibi or mental impairment in accordance with subsection 23CD(2), evidence of such matters may only be adduced with the leave of the Court. This is intended to achieve an appropriate balance between ensuring the efficiency of pre-trial disclosure while also ensuring fairness to the accused in cases where the Court considers it justified to grant leave. It will be up to the Court to decide when to grant leave according to the circumstances of each case.
Amendments 20, 21, 22 and 23
28. These amendments omit reference to subsection 23CD and are consequential to amendment 5.
Amendment 24
29. This amendment omits proposed section 23DG in its entirety and substitutes a new section 23DG. The effect is to leave the preparation of a written jury roll for a jury district to the Sheriff without specifying or limiting the source of information the Sherriff may use. The amendment also confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that a jury roll prepared under this proposed provision is not a legislative instrument.
Amendment 25
30. This amendment omits proposed subsection 23DM(2) and substitutes new proposed subsection 23DM(2) to provide that the jury list consists of the names and addresses of persons, and if readily available, the dates of birth and sex. This distinguishes between information that is essential (name and address) and that which is desirable (date of birth and sex) and avoids possible challenge to a jury list on the basis that it does not include information which is not essential and which may not always be readily available.
Amendment 26
31. This amendment would replace 'significant' with 'material' in proposed subsection 58DA(2) to avoid any doubt about what test applies when an accused who has been denied bail makes a further application for bail.
32. The current test is that there must have been a significant change in circumstances. The terms 'significant' and 'material' are generally used as synonyms but the amendments will remove any possible doubt about what test applies.
Amendment 27
33. This amendment inserts new proposed subsection 58DB(2A) to provide a presumption in favour of bail for the proposed serious cartel offences. The presumption will apply in indictable primary proceedings which means that the presumption will apply only at first instance, and not at the appeal stage. There will be no presumption under the Bill, either for or against bail, for any other offence if the indictment also includes counts for one or more associated offences which are not serious cartel offences.
Amendment 28
34. This amendment will alter proposed section 58DD to ensure that if a bail order is stayed pending appeal, the stay operates by virtue of the legislation and not because the prosecutor has given a direction to the Court.
Amendment 29
35. This amendment inserts reference to proposed section 23CD(1) and is consequential to amendment 5.
Amendment 30
36. This amendment omits item 32 of the Bill and is consequential to amendments 24 and 25.

Simon Byrne, guitarist Henry Marsh and bassist
John Perry started their musical collaboration in the Somerset-based
beat band Utopia. By the late 1960s they'd mutated into the band Toast,
cutting a one-shot 1970 45 for CBS ('Flowers Never Bend with the
Rainfall' b/w 'Summer of Miranda' (CBS catalog number CBS-4786).
Within a matter of months the band underwent another transition,
adding singer Casey Synge to the line up and dropping the 'Toast'
moniker to become Gringo.
Hitting the road, the band eventually ended up working on the French Rivera (tough job). Returning to the UK they continued to tour, opening for the likes of Barclay James Harvest and Caravan. The resulting publicity led to a deal with Decca and the release of 1971's cleverly titled "Gringo". Produced by Tony Cox, the results offered up an interesting mix of British progressive and pop moves. Featuring group-penned material, tracks like 'Cry the Beloved Country' and 'More and More' offered up an engaging mixture of complex structures, occasionally interesting lyrics, coupled with strong melodies and nifty harmony vocals (frequently within the same song). They were also capable of writing and performing straight out commercial material. 'Emma and Harry' and would have sounded great on top-40 radio. On the surface that may not have sounded particularly inspiring, but the results were actually surprisingly original and worthwhile. All four members had decent voices, with Synge exhibiting a multi-octave range that occasionally recalled a rougher Maddy Prior (check out the backward tape segment on 'Our Time Is Our Time'), while Marsh displayed some excellent guitar moves (a nice sample of his dexterity is found on 'Gently Step Through the Stream'). Imagine Caravan-lite, or Curved Air with an itch for a top-40 hit and you'll get a feel for the band's repertoire. Decca/MCA also tapped the album for a single in the form of 'I'm Another Man' b/w 'Soft Mud' (MCA catalog number MKS-5067). Unfortunately, Decca's growing business problems saw the band all but ignored in terms of promotional support.
Following their breakup the band members went on to various outside projects.
Bryne hooked up with Brotherhood of Man and went into sessions work.
Marsh reappeared as a member of Sailor.
Perry proved the most active, initially joined Spreadeagle, followed by
stints in Caravan, Quantum, Jump, and Curved Air.
Synge became an in-demand sessions singer before she reappeared in
Thunderthighs (interesting name for a female trio).

Was this band Gringo ?
Basically, yes, although we went through different names. It started out as Utopia, a five-piece copy band doing all the hits from the Beatles and the Searchers and lots of stuff playing at college and parties. Everybody in the band had been at private school and sung in the choir, so it was a terrific vocal band. We used to do wonderful renditions of Beach Boys songs, we were really rather good at that. It was basically the same band all the way through, the three of us : Henry Marsh on guitar and keyboards, Simon Byrne on drums and myself... That first band unfortunately split when everybody went their way. I went off to become a farming student, working on different dairy farms in the West country of England. But I kept in contact with Henry and Simon, and they approached me one day, saying they'd have a year off in their studies, and would I join them to form a new band, you know, rather than go grape-picking in France, which I thought would be wonderful... I actually had also decided to have a year off before I was going to go up to the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester. So we elected to get this band together, which was called Toast. We hired one of the farmers' cottages, locked ourselves away and worked very hard, rehearsing or whatever, built up a repertoire and then we came up to London, and three months later we're on television ! The show was 'Colour Me Pop' and we did three songs on that... So none of us went back to college, and we all carried on in a musical career.
Did Gringo achieve any sort of commercial success ?
Yes, we did have some success, we had this American girl who was with us for a while, and we lived down in Saint Tropez for three months. We worked in the Club Voom-Voom, it was a live music club rather than the discotheque it is now. It was owned by a guy who also had a beach and a rather nice villa which we lived in, on the way to Plage Tahiti. And we were there, working for three months and writing this first, one and only Gringo album... It was a good band, there's some original stuff on that album. We eventually split up in 1971, after four years, because by then we were going in different directions, and it naturally came to an end. We'd grown out of each other I think. But we had a wonderful time together, for four years. What was great in those days was that we were able to play six nights a week in different clubs. We didn't get paid a lot of money, but we didn't need so much. Because we had exactly the same line-up and the same equipment as Cream, the early days of Cream, you know, a Marshall stack each, and we could get all our equipment and one roadie into our Four-Transit, travelling around Britain and Europe, and learning what we were doing. The expression is "paying your dues", and this is what we did. And it was fantastic, for four years to do that, we learnt a lot. We spent quite a lot of time in Europe, playing in Holland and Germany... After Gringo split up, Henry went on to play with a band called Sailor with Curt Becher, Phil Pickett and Georg Kajanus, which was hugely popular and is just reforming I understand... And Simon Byrne, a very good drummer, he went on to play with Brotherhood of Man, which was very successful, and various other bands like that.
I understand Gringo toured with Caravan a couple of years
before you actually joined the band ?
Yes, they were headlining a tour with Barclay James Harvest, at the time Caravan were promoting "In The Land Of Grey And Pink". We were there a sort of opening act, and got to know both bands and kept in touch with them. It was a good tour actually, very successful, cause Caravan were very well-known in the South of England and BJH were very well-known in the North of England, so all the way round the country we had the crowds and stuff, so for us that was taking us out of the small clubs into concert halls and theaters and stuff like that, so that was a good experience for us. But then we decided to split up and I was invited to join Spreadeagle, and played with them for about six months. They'd actually recorded an album before I joined, and they'd lost their bass player. I actually got in touch with them through Tony Cox, who'd produced the Gringo album and nowadays does a lot of arranging for Andrew Lloyd-Weber... Anyway, nice guys, I still keep in contact with them, highly talented, very original people. I learned a lot from them. In terms of musical style, they were difficult to describe, to pigeonhole - slightly poppy, slightly jazz, slightly rocky... A good band, a wonderful drummer called Jimmy Copley.
Then... Caravan !
I had just started with Spreadeagle really when I received a phonecall from Pye Hastings, asking would I join. As you can imagine, I said yes extremely quickly ! It was quite a blow, actually, a huge compliment, because they were a very well established band, with audiences around the world which loved them, and for me it was such an opportunity to actually... break, you know. Musically, I'd always loved Caravan. What I loved about their music was that it had good structures, and at the same time had room to grow. It was a band which had the ability to, when they were playing live, to really expand the music, and react to the audiences rather than just playing a song night after night. I loved the freedom that was within it, yet with those strange time signatures which they seemed to play entirely naturally... and of course the sense of humour. The guys were just so unpretentious, they were just normal guys who were only in it for the music. And for me it was a very good time to join because they'd expanded the line-up by adding Geoffrey Richardson on viola and flute, a hugely talented man. And David Sinclair, who'd left the band a couple of years before, came back to the band at the time I joined as well. So I had the best of both worlds, it was a new Caravan, but with the essence of the old. Obviously lacking Richard Sinclair who I replaced, an immense talent on bass guitar, writing and voice... but I like to think that Geoffrey and I, we were at least the 25 percent remaining they'd lost with Richard going to form his own band...
So you recorded the "For Girls Who Grow Plump In The
Night" album. Nice memories of that ?
Sure, it was great working with Dave Hitchcock, a very nice producer to work with, a clever guy actually, he knew the band well, and how to get the best out of us I think... Certainly one of the most underrated producers ever - and now one of the best accountants ! I'd like to think that this album we did was almost on a par but different from "In The Land Of Grey And Pink".
Would you have liked to contribute a bit more to the
actual songwriting ?
Well, I was very fortunate to be able to contribute anything at all, really, because you know, the style of the band was very much generated by David Sinclair and Pye Hastings. Of course the contribution of Richard Sinclair was a great loss, but I think Pye and David certainly made up for it. And to be given the opportunity to actually contribute to some of the songwriting was quite a thrill. I didn't expect to do more than I was actually asked to, really. And I was able to sing as well, a bit of lead singing, a lot of backing singing, which was great.

NRHS teacher gains state honor
When Ann Scharfenberg opened an e-mail from the Wisconsin Council for the Social Studies, she thought it would be about her application to present at a convention -- instead it was a letter announcing she was selected as social studies teacher of the year.
"I was shocked," she said.
Scharfenberg, who has taught at New Richmond High School since 1994, knew she was being nominated for the award, but didn't think she had a chance.
"It's one of those things where you get nominated to get your name out there, then they watch you for a few years to see what you do," she said. "This was the first time I had been nominated, so I didn't think I would get it."
The nomination came from Brian Schultz, interim dean for the College of Business and Economics at University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
"I got to know Ann about eight years ago," he said. "I knew she was doing some good things and from the teachers I know, she's outstanding."
Scharfenberg's enthusiasm and dedication to her students are what make her stand out, Schultz said.
"She really goes above and beyond," he said.
Three teachers are honored as distinguished teachers of the year -- one at the elementary level, one at the middle school level and one at the high school level. In 2008, Valerie Elzinga, of Valkers High School, was honored with the award.
"This is great recognition," Scharfenberg said of her award. "But at the end of the day it's about the kids."
That dedication and commitment is what landed her the award, Schultz said.
"She's just great and she uses practical examples that allow her students to relate the techniques to their lives," he said.
Scharfenberg said her way of teaching is not unique at NRHS.
"We have quality staff here," she said. "The things Rachel Sauvola is doing with the ag department, our tech ed department, Project Lead The Way... we also have some of the strongest AP content in the state - and that's just the stuff I know about. I think it's a great reflection on the district and the community."
Scharfenberg said it's an honor that any teacher from New Richmond was chosen.
"We're almost considered more a part of Minneapolis than we are of Madison," she said. "I'm out of the loop in a lot of ways."
Being in the northwest corner of the state makes it harder for teachers to get recognition from their peers in Milwaukee and Madison, she said.
To be considered for the distinguished teacher of the year award, teachers must meet several qualifications. According to the WCSS Web site, teachers must:
Be a full-time teacher teaching k-12 social studies.
Be recognized by colleagues as an excellent social studies teacher.
Utilize social studies strategies that foster inquiry and development of social studies.
Have an ongoing interest in improving his/her knowledge and skills in social studies instruction.
Improving herself is something that has always been important to her, Scharfenberg said.
This summer she plans to attend classes at the University of Delaware in pursuit of a Master of Arts degree in economics and entrepreneurship for educators.
"I'm always trying to improve myself and be better," she said.
When the social studies teacher isn't in the classroom, she's serving on the Council for Economic Education - with economic study tours to Russia and economic curriculum writing in Romania; coaching the economics challenge team; is an AP reader for economics; presenter at the Wisconsin Council for the Social Studies Convention; UW-River Falls and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College consortium; is leading the drive to bring a financial branch to the new high school; and working with her students to tap into renewable energy sources at the new high school.

I'm 5'6" and just ordered a 5'3" Wynn (real good shaper out of jersey) 18 1/8 wide and 2 for the thickness. It's still gonna be shaped like a regular shortboard but a little wider and with a swallow tail. You could call any shaper and tell them to make you something that looks and rides like the lost rocket, but is a little fatter. (I prefer thinner boards.) :eek: :eek:

AutoCAD® Civil 3D®software gives the City of Beloit the dexterity to accommodate changing project priorities and schedules.
Beloit, WisconsinThe City of Beloit, Wisconsin, with a population approaching 37,000, is located on the southern border of the state, on the banks of the Rock River and within driving distance of both Chicago and Milwaukee. The city boasts a lively riverfront development, vibrant residential neighborhoods, a historic downtown, and thriving business districts. In fact its downtown renovation and continuing economic redevelopment are the hallmarks of the city's rebirth, enticing new businesses to relocate to Beloit, convincing existing corporations to expand, and fueling residential growth—all of which are keeping the city's Engineering Division very busy.
With a staff of five engineers, three aides, and two GIS professionals, the Engineering Division is responsible for providing a variety of services related to capital improvement projects, including design, plan review, and inspection services. Most of the division's work is on urban reconstruction projects and utility or local roadway extensions. "Our biggest challenges are changing project priorities and schedules," explains Michael Flesch, city engineer. "We're involved with a lot of economic development projects, which have many different stakeholders. We need to be reactive and accommodating to those interests, particularly when it comes to new or potential commercial development projects."
With so many stakeholders, it's not uncommon for a project to be two-thirds of the way done and then change suddenly—the schedule, the time frame, scope of work. The Engineering Division needs to respond quickly, with civil engineering software that can react as quickly as they do.
The Engineering Division had been using AutoCAD® Land Desktop software for many years and in 2005 considered whether to upgrade to the latest version of the software or move to a different software platform. "As a longtime Autodesk customer, we were very comfortable with AutoCAD and had heard about AutoCAD Civil 3D," reports Luke Arnold, project engineer. "We knew that AutoCAD Civil 3D is the next generation of civil design software and therefore should be the next step for our group."
They also knew that the software's model-based approach to design and documentation—so very different from AutoCAD Land Desktop—would make for a bumpy transition. "We felt that, in the long run, AutoCAD Civil 3D would make us more efficient and more productive," says Flesch. "We looked at other software packages, but our staff was familiar with AutoCAD, and they all wanted to stick with an AutoCAD-based product. We all felt that the automatic link between design and documentation would give us the dexterity we needed to make changes mid-design and still meet our schedules and deadlines. So AutoCAD Civil 3D went to the top of our list."
Planning the Transition With the software selected, the Engineering Division waded right in to the migration. "We decided to go 'cold turkey' and move all our users and all our work to AutoCAD Civil 3D all at once," remarks Arnold. They sat down with their Autodesk reseller, to develop an implementation plan that mapped out a schedule for training, software loading and configuration, and so forth. Before any training began, the reseller and Arnold also customized the standard AutoCAD Civil 3D styles, templates, and libraries so that the training and course material would reflect the actual work environment. "This was money well spent," remarks Flesch. "Without this level of preparation, the transition wouldn't have been as successful as it was."
Training began with a two-day, on-site AutoCAD® refresher class, followed by a four-day introductory AutoCAD Civil 3D training class. The class was customized to meet their specific needs—based on their own templates, taught in their own office on their own hardware and software, and focused on just those areas that the Engineering Division would need for its project types: cross-sections, vertical and horizontal alignments, corridors, and so forth.
With the training completed, the Engineering Division started right in on its first project. From the beginning the decision was made to eliminate access to AutoCAD Land Desktop software— removing the temptation to retreat to familiar ground. "There was no turning back. We all went straight to AutoCAD Civil 3D and have used it ever since," reports Arnold. "This was critical to our success. We were all in it together and learned from each other."
Road to SuccessOne of the first projects that the Engineering Division tackled using AutoCAD Civil 3D was the design of a new 1,150-foot roadway called Sager Lane located in an existing industrial park. The project included the design and construction of the new concrete road as well as the curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water mains. "The project itself wasn't all that technically challenging," remarks Flesch, "except that a few days before construction was scheduled to start, a major mistake was discovered. The rightof- way we used was off by 10 feet."
The original project had been started in AutoCAD Land Desktop and then put on hold. When the Engineering Division started working on it again, the design was migrated to AutoCAD Civil 3D and the group picked up the design where it had been left off. The roadway was designed to fit inside an 80-foot right-of-way. But just before construction, a surveyor noticed that his plat showed a right-ofway of 70 feet, but the city's plan showed 80 feet, so he informed the Engineering Division of the discrepancy. "I went into scramble mode, called the survey crew, and told them that the information we sent them was bad and I would send them a new set of plans by the end of the day," recalls Arnold.
Improve ProductivityThe design of the road was mistakenly offset from the real center of the right-of-way, and the sidewalk was completely outside it. "I had to go back and redesign all of the storm sewer piping, water mains, and road alignment to move everything over 10 feet, and then I had to realign the sidewalk to be 5 feet closer to the back of the curb to fit within the 70-foot right-of-way," explains Arnold. And on the day he was doing that, the contractor was already moving equipment to the site, so Arnold had little time to make these changes.
"Using AutoCAD Civil 3D, it took me about three and a half hours to redesign the project. That same effort would have taken at least three or four days in Land Desktop. This delay would have forced the contractor to start work on another project—impacting the start date of our project and ultimately its completion date," reports Arnold. By the end of the day, he emailed the new plans, alignment data, and coordinates for the structures to the contractor for his team to start staking out the correct locations. "In the end, there were no additional expenses incurred and no delays in the project," says Arnold.
Kettle WayAnother project where the AutoCAD Civil 3D software proved its value—particularly with regards to enhanced productivity and communication—was the design and construction of a new cul-de-sac, Kettle Way, in a local industrial park. The project was a new 850-foot, 37-foot-wide urban street and the reconstruction of a 900-foot portion of an existing rural street to a 43-foot-wide urban section. The project also included design and construction of water mains and services, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and sidewalk on one side. "The earthwork entailed some fairly significant cuts, and we had a really short time frame to get the design work done. In fact the whole project—from concept to bid—was only six weeks," says Flesch.
"Another challenging aspect to this project was that it included moving some of the material cut from this site and using it to cap an old wastewater treatment plant site with two feet of fill," says Flesch. So in addition to the quick turnaround time on the project itself, the Engineering Division had to produce the additional documentation required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) for the capping to demonstrate that the thickness of the cap met a two-foot minimum.
Finally, after construction had begun—in fact, when the underground utilities were already in and the construction crew was beginning the roadway—the owner wanted to increase the size of an additional lot off the end of the cul-de-sac. This change necessitated a major redesign of the cul-de-sac from a balanced bulb to an offset bulb. AutoCAD Civil 3D software helped the Engineering Division meet all of these challenges: the tight time frame, the additional documentation burden, even the very late design change.
"We finished the original project design on time, and also used the software to determine what all the earthwork volumes were, so we knew how much cut from that project we could use for the two-foot cap that we needed," says Arnold. The site of the cap was originally surveyed to determine fill requirements. After the site was capped, another survey was done to verify the thickness of the cap. The survey data was used in the AutoCAD Civil 3D software application to create a volume surface, which represented the exact difference between the original and new surfaces. The group then color-coded the volume surface by depth and used a grid-pattern style to display the depth at each intersection point on the grid. "This form of presentation made it very simple for WDNR to visualize what we had done and give us closure for the site without the need for any additional documentation." says Arnold.
Produce a Quality Design in Less TimeAutoCAD Civil 3D also helped the Engineering Division accommodate the Kettle Way's late-stage design change. Of the 20 hours required for that redesign effort, most of the time was spent on conceptual design issues rather than actual drafting revisions.
"For example, I spent approximately four hours looking at different strategies for draining the new cul-de-sac. I changed the profiles or edge of pavement alignments seven or eight times, and checked how those changes affected other parts of the design such as pavement and gutter slopes, drainage inlet locations, driveways, and slope intercepts," reports Arnold. "Only a small part of that time was actually spent revising the drawing files. With AutoCAD Civil 3D, I was able to produce a high-quality design that was fine-tuned to fit the conditions. And I did it in less time than it would have taken me to just get a basic design done using Land Desktop."
Share Designs More EfficientlyIn addition to using the software for ongoing design work, the Division is now using DWFtm files to share digital design information beyond the design team with developers, surveyors, contractors, and other constituents in the construction process or review cycle who aren't AutoCAD Civil 3D users or even CAD users.
For example, on a recent project the group uploaded DWF versions of plans, so that the local utility company could review the design and check the impact on existing power poles. The group is also starting to share topographic and alignment data with surveyors for better workflow efficiency.
Since early 2006, the City of Beloit's Engineering Division has standardized on AutoCAD Civil 3D, with six users who have worked on more than 22 projects. Through its styles-based drafting environment, AutoCAD Civil 3D software enables the City of Beloit's Engineering Division to produce more uniform, consistent project documentation—no matter which engineer has worked on it. In addition, the software enables engineers to react quickly to any changes that are thrown at them—no matter how late in the project those changes occur.
"AutoCAD Civil 3D has given us a significant productivity boost—enabling us to complete our designs faster," says Arnold. "AutoCAD Civil 3D allows us to focus more on the details of our design rather than spending time figuring out how to get the software to do what we need it to do," adds Flesch. "And when priorities or schedules suddenly change, we can accommodate them and keep the project moving forward—on target and on time."

With more and more pilots bidding farewell to paper approach charts and turning to the convenience of handheld flight-deck computers, official word from the FAA stipulating exactly how such devices may be used in the cockpit has been eagerly anticipated by the industry for some time.
Guidance came recently with the release of an advisory circular that outlines–for the first time–specific certification and operational standards for so-called electronic flight bags (EFBs), now in use not only by individual corporate operators, but also by large charter and fractional providers, which have reasoned that they stand to save a significant amount of money over time using the upstart technology.
With AC 120-76, Guidelines for the certification, airworthiness and operational approval of electronic flight bag computing devices, the FAA has split EFBs into three classes, ranging from small, personal digital assistants (PDA) and handheld pen-tablet computers to permanently installed EFBs capable of interfacing with EICAS, FMS and navigation sensors.
Most professional flight crews will be interested mainly with class-2 and -3 devices, which may be used for viewing navigation charts during takeoff and landing, provided some means of backup–either a second EFB or paper charts–are present in the cockpit. But before getting into a detailed explanation of what the different classes of EFBs are capable of doing–and exactly how and when pilots are permitted to use the devices–it's important to point out that the AC, as written, applies only to commercial operations. While the FAA apparently would prefer that Part 91 operators at least make themselves aware of what is contained in the AC, at this point there is absolutely no requirement for Part 91 operators to follow AC 120-76's guidelines.
As long as the FARs are followed, use of an off-the-shelf EFB running appropriate software is perfectly acceptable for Part 91. That's good news for corporate pilots who have worried that a ramp check might lead to some tough questions from FAA inspectors if a non-certified EFB is found on board. On the other hand, it may not be good news for charter operators who had hoped to use the same devices unencumbered by FAA restrictions.
Clear as Mud?
For Part 135 operators, who must adhere to the AC's guidance, there has been ample confusion in the last couple of months, uncertainty that the AC has failed to resolve. Tim Murphy, vice president of marketing for Flight Deck Resources (FDR), the Dana Point, Calif. company that helped TAG Aviation get off the ground with its EFB initiative earlier this year, said his company recently sent a letter to the FAA asking for specific clarification on several points, which were brought to the forefront after the AC's release in July.
"We've had some specific questions from our clients, and are seeking clarification from the FAA," said Murphy, whose company markets EFBs and has worked closely with customers to gain EFB operational approvals.
A main concern highlighted in the company's letter to the FAA dealt with a requirement that class-2 EFBs be attached to the aircraft by an approved mounting device.
"Assuming that the mounting device and cradle must be crashworthy and STC'd, the cost would make it prohibitive for most operators," wrote the company in its letter. "Also, mounting devices are not practical in many aircraft because of inadequate space–frequently, the mounting device may be in the wrong location such as when the sun 'washes' out the display…[As an] alternative solution, EFBs would be used as a kneeboard secured to the pilot's leg with a strap when in use and be connected to data ports and aircraft power. EFBs would be stowed or secured when not in use."
Murphy said FDR also questioned two statements in the AC that he and several FDR clients interpret as contradictory. The first states that "panning, scrolling, zooming or other active manipulation" of approach charts is not permissible, a limitation that would seem to prevent many EFBs–including the popular Fujitsu computers–from qualifying as class-2 devices.
Murphy said several operators, however, have pointed to a statement a few paragraphs later in the AC that talks specifically about panning and scrolling, saying this perhaps is an error that needs clarification.
Class Structure
Starting from the bottom layer of the EFB strata, the following is an overview of the different classes of device and the functions they are capable of performing: class-1 EFBs may be used on the ground and during flight as a source of "supplemental information," but not for viewing navigation charts. They would generally consist of a simple PDA loaded with checklists, weight-and-balance calculators and other types of flight-relevant software. The AC states that PDAs may not be datalinked, but again this applies only to commercial operations–good news for companies that market airborne datalink services, such as weather reporting, for display on a PDA.
While class-2 and -3 devices may be used for viewing approach charts, there are some notable differences between the two, not the least of which is price. The typical class-2 device currently sells for an uninstalled price of between $5,000 and $10,000. Fractional provider Flight Options and charter/management company TAG Aviation have been using the portable pen-tablet computers produced by Fujitsu, computing devices that could be certified as class-2 devices. Universal avionics, meanwhile, recently gained TSO certification of the company's $33,000 Universal Cockpit Display (UCD), a permanently installed device that is capable of interfacing with FMS and being used as a moving map, and therefore appropriate to class-3 certification standards.
According to the AC, class-2 devices must be attached to the aircraft by some sort of mounting device, but they can be removed from the aircraft on the ground and used by pilots at home, in a hotel room or at the operations office for a variety of purposes, including Internet surfing, e-mail, trip planning, weather gathering and so forth. Also, class-2 devices, unlike battery-powered class-1 EFBs, may connect to aircraft power.
Class-3 EFBs, on the other hand, must be permanently installed in the aircraft and approved under the STC process. The benefit of class-3 devices is that they may interface with EICAS, FMS and other aircraft systems. Another advantage of Universal's UCD is that its screen is a little larger than lower-priced devices, and therefore it is easier to use than screens that require scrolling or panning. Class-3 devices may also be used for functions such as pilot-controller datalink communications (CPDLC), traffic information such as ADS-B and TIS-B and weather datalink, and may include terrain, obstacle and noise-abatement procedure databases.
Part 135 operator TAG Aviation is in the midst of a program that eventually will see many of the company's 360 pilots around the world begin using EFBs to brief approaches and for other flight-related functions. Larry Edeal, vice president of flight operations for TAG in San Fransisco, said about 30 pilots have gone through training and are now using the Fujitsu tablet computers. Pilots use paper charts for the actual approach, he added, but have access to the computer in the cockpit, as well as a laptop backup.
No matter the device, all EFBs on the market today use digital navigation charts supplied by Jeppesen. The company's JeppView FliteDeck software (developed by Montreal-based Marinvent Corp.) enables the charts to be displayed on a variety of products from Spirent's AvVantage EFB and Northstar's CT-1000 to the Fujitsu computers and Universal's UCD, among other devices. The Gulfstream IV and V have the Northstar unit as an optional yoke-mounted device under a supplemental type certificate, and are small and have very bright screens.
Wither Paper?
While Jeppesen's main processing facilities in Denver and Frankfurt, Germany, continue to mail an average of around 20 million paper pages a week to subscribers, the aviation information supplier is moving purposefully toward electronic storage, distribution and in-cockpit access to its range of charts and aeronautical data services.
Jeppesen distributes JeppView terminal charts on CD-ROMs, updated every two weeks, while area and other charts are still on paper. Soon JeppView version 3.5 will add text, airport qualification and en route charts, with the initial CD-ROM updated via the Internet. Internet updates would also replace the paper updates that pilots commonly receive at their home addresses.
Since the mid-1990s Jeppesen has been investing in the development of a new database that will provide the foundation for a range of integrated products. A major investment area is the so-called advanced business development organization, formed to lead the transition to paperless services. Employing about 70 of Jeppesen's 1,650-strong staff, the department's main responsibility involves developing electronic data applications with avionics suppliers and aircraft manufacturers.
Jeppesen's electronic charts are used by a number of established avionics makers, including UPS Technologies with its MX-20 multifunction display and the Universal UCD, along with the many products based on the Fujitsu handheld computers. The charts will also be featured in new avionics suites that suppliers Honeywell and Rockwell Collins plan to introduce within the next two years.
Jeppesen is looking to the EFB concept as a means of streamlining information management in the cockpit. As a prototype platform, it has been using the Fujitsu computer modified to display data in portrait rather than traditional landscape format. This application has established that a kneeboard-size device could provide all the functionality of a laptop computer.
The screen on the prototype is segmented so that the plan view remains constant on the lower part of the screen, though its scale can be changed by a zoom function, while the top part shows selected information, such as the approach briefing screen with decision heights and so on. Given a GPS input, the aircraft's position can be displayed on the plan view, and the taxi situational awareness display shows the aircraft's position on a geo-referenced airport drawing.
This would be one of the applications for the new airport database the company wants to develop. Future enhancements could include the addition of indications of the positions of other aircraft on the airport surface using ADS-B inputs.

MILLERSBURG -- Election Day is a day when voters make different choices for different reasons. Regardless of party affiliations, members of the community of believers met Tuesday at the Millersburg Mennonite Church for a Service of Holy Communion in defiance of the pervasive divisiveness of the national election.
As part of the Millersburg Area Ministerial Association, in which many churches unite as one church, the Millersburg Mennonite Church invited not only its own congregation, but anyone in the area interested in setting aside political differences in order to worship in conjunction with the nationwide movement, Election Day Communion Campaign.
Nearly 50 area church members attended this nondenominational push for togetherness.
"A group of churches across the nation are doing this and it sounded like a really cool idea," said pastor of the Millersburg United Methodist Church, Tom Jones, who encouraged members of his congregation to attend.
The idea was to meet at the same table with the same host to remember that the real power in this world is from God, said Millersburg Mennonite Church co-pastor, Patrick Nafziger.
"We are doing a worship service with a communion service as the main emphasis," said Nafziger, as singing and prayer were also focal points of the service. "It's a way to remember that hope is not found in the White House, it's in Jesus."
One of the purposes of Election Day Communion is to build unity in Christ in the midst of theological, political and denominational differences. As such, the election day communion website listed 855 congregations, groups and schools participating in 50 states and Washington, D.C.
"The nugget of the whole idea is that we, as leadership in the church, are tired of the acidic political atmosphere that happens every four years when people campaign for president; it's a way for us to come together and remember that allegiance to Jesus is more than whatever political party we agree with. It's a way to enact that," said Nafziger.
The service fittingly began directly after the polls closed at 7:30 p.m.
"Symbolically we want to say, while some of us voted for Romney and some of us voted for Obama, we want to come together and worship God and remember that what unites us is stronger than these ideas that divide," added Nafziger.
With first prayer, then song, then a service of Holy Communion, those present forgot the polls and instead remembered Christ's sacrifice for them, praying for God's help in loving and serving one's neighbors, reconciling differences and abandoning hate.
Participants, adult and child alike, approached the altar in groups of six to receive the bread and wine (juice) and pray together.
"The world has called you to the voting booth to decide which candidate should run the country. We are inviting you to the bread and juice to decide who will run your life," said Nafziger, as worshippers prepared to take communion. "Put away your swords, your sound-bites Come and receive the body of Christ broken for you, the blood of Christ shed for you."

The most contentious issue was Ramirez implying that winning is not everything, saying "The sun will come out for everybody the next day."
"Sure." we hear the Rockies' reply. "Easy to say that when you're winning...."
But the 2006 World Cup Soccer finals…boy was that different. Italy won, but who cares. Decided on a penalty shootout, huh was it really?
Nope, this great match will be remembered fondly by all because Zinedine Zidane lost his head ….. muwhahaha!
Thank you TonaZ alberto.zanot for reminding us :)
Click on the picture, get Zidane to headbutt Marco Materazzi and sent off.

Kim Kardashian reportedly makes ten thousand dollars per tweet, tipping people to Rebook EasyTone training shoes, quick trim body, and Carl's Jr - there's consistency for ya.
This leads Jim Edwards at B|Net to ask "If Kim Kardashian Can Get $10K a Tweet Why Can't Twitter?". He concludes with a thought:
One answer is that Twitter may not want to find out what its real revenue stream would be if it sold inventory to advertisers. The company may be (mistakenly) valued more highly by potential acquirers if they don't know what the potential revenue actually is. The moment Twitter becomes a grown-up business and sells ads, it would generate a revenue stream that would allow investors to accurately calculate how much the company is worth.
What is Twitter worth? Techcrunch reckons (complete with pie-charts) that if Facebook is worth $10 Billion, Twitter is Worth $1.7 Billion. All that money on what people still say is just a waste of time.

Perfect for snacking or fueling a long hike through the woods, these pumpkin spice trail mix bars are the perfect fall flavors snack. Made with all natural products, these trail mix bars are something you can feel comfortable giving your kids. Packed with nuts and steel cut oats, these bars are sure to leave you satisfied, instead of hungrier than when you ate them.
Fall has always been a time of corn maizes, trail walking and apple picking. Having healthy snacks that will fuel you on these adventures is key to avoiding meltdowns and convenience store purchases that you are less than proud of. Instead of having to pick the best option at the gas station when you are already ravenous, pack some healthy homemade snacks and fuel your adventures naturally.
What makes these homemade pumpkin spice trail mix bars awesome? Well they only take about 5 minutes to whip up and they only dirty 1 measuring cup, one mixing bowl, a spoon and the pan (which you can line with foil). Yes, that is one of my criteria on if I'm going to make a dish. Because dishes are real. And most nights it looks like a small bomb has exploded in my kitchen. I try to avoid this catastrophe as often as possible.
Another reason these are awesome? These bars are full of natural ingredients, which provide healthy fat, protein, and complex and simple carbs to help fuel your adventure but keep you satisfied for hours. I used Coach's Oats in these bars. Have you tried them? They have patented processing that allows the steel cut oat to act more like a rolled oat in recipes. Yes, there are steel cut oats in this recipe and I didn't break my teeth eating them. In fact, these bars have an amazing chewy, nutty texture I'm totally digging. If you want to try Coach's Oat, you can still enter to win!
These trail mix bars are a combination of some of my favorite fall flavors. Pumpkin spice, cranberries, pumpkin seeds. Even if it doesn't feel like fall yet, these trail mix bars sure make it taste like fall!
Since Dave has a mild allergy to tree nuts, these bars ARE ALL MINE. I will be making him a batch of just the sunflower seed and pumpkin seed though because he is also loving the Coach's Oats. In fact, I don't have any of those Baked Oatmeal Pumpkin Bars left since he got a hold of them! If you have someone with a nut allergy. You can use Sunbutter in place of the almond butter and increase the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to 1 cup each. Vegans can use brown rice syrup in place of the honey.
This recipe is super simple. It's equal parts almond butter, honey, oats, and each of the nuts and seeds. Add in a few tablespoons of dried fruit and 2-3 tbs. of chia seeds. Refrigerate for an hour and you are good to go!Fuel your next adventure with these Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix Bars @coachsoats @fitfluential @pancakewarrior_ Click To Tweet

Movies: Fight Club, Watchmen and of course many others.
Shows: Game of Thrones, Shameless, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Entourage, Boston Legal, etc. (Used to spend lots of time watching such things, don't care about them that much anymore.)
Music: I'll listen to almost anything, but mostly electronica, metal.
Food: steak, pizza, ice cream, all things unhealthy...
Laptop with internet connection, things to learn about, I guess.
Basics like food seem unfit to be listed in this category, being obvious and inevitable, it just seems superfluous to include them. I guess I could never do without logic also.
Just kidding.
Or am I?
Again, just kidding.

Education expert talks school stress
Children across the UK are heading back to school as the summer holidays draw to a close.
For lots of kids it means big changes, as many are starting at brand new schools, or taking new subjects or being taught by different teachers.
Those changes have got a lot of you pretty stressed out about returning to lessons.
So we asked for your school fears before putting them to an education expert to help you deal with them.
Educational psychologist Vivian Hill has lots of tips, including:
• Talk to teachers about problems. You don't need to do it front of other kids, but getting to a class a bit early or hanging around afterwards could be a good time to talk through any troubles.
• Schools are used to new pupils starting so they've got experience of the problems that can occur.
• Don't be scared of being scared! Often people worry a lot about things and then when they get into class they very quickly make new friends.
• If a new teacher is more strict than you're used to, behave yourself! Get to know the rules for each teacher and work within them.
• It doesn't take long to get used to a new school. In three weeks time you'll be much more settled in and maybe even having a good time!

Business News of Friday, 9 November 2012
Source: thebftonline
The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has indicated that it will soon meet with pharmaceutical manufacturers to review prices of drugs covered under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Mr. Kwabena Asante, General Secretary of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Ghana (PMAG), told the B&FT that the Authority has indicated its preparedness to review the price list.
"We have been in touch and they have indicated that they are prepared to meet us [PMAG] so as to discuss the reviewing of the price list."
Drug manufacturers in June complained about the unwillingness of the government to review the prices of medications covered under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). The prices are supposed to be reviewed every six months, but have seen no change in two years.
PMAG has also tabled proposals to the government for total VAT exemption on selected raw materials imported for pharmaceuticals production.
Presently, there is a zero VAT rate for 66 of about 200 different materials used for manufacturing drugs locally. However, even where the zero VAT rate exists, there is often a lengthy bureaucratic procedure involved in reclaiming VAT payments, Mr. Asante said.
There is also lingering concern about local pharmaceutical manufacturers' inability to benefit from a "marginal preference" scheme targeted at local drug producers who bid for government contracts.
The marginal preference scheme provides a 15% discount on bidding fees to local pharmaceutical manufacturers. The system, however, presents challenges mainly because of producers' inability to qualify for bidding.
PMAG has further advocated a fund to support the industry using savings from malaria medicines that the government currently purchases at subsidised prices under a financing initiative of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Are you looking forward to 2012? I know I am.
As a business we found 2011 very tough and it knocked us back to basics. For the past six months we have been working very hard on understanding what has changed in our business and addressing any issues that we may have accidentally created.
During the 'good times' when the business is growing and the 'living is easy' there's a tendancy to become complacent. A good kick up the backside never does anyone any harm, and that is what, figuratively we received during last summer as sales stalled.
We have worked especially hard on the back office side of the business: surveying customers; reviewing what we were doing wrong; what we could do better by comparing it to what we were doing prior to the tough times; and setting and measuring our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Towards the end of the year I had a feeling that we had started to turn things around, but it was a bit like a super tanker - it takes five miles of turning before the bows start to respond. So although we can't see light at the end of the tunnel, both my gut feeling and more importantly, the KPIs are saying that we are going in the right direction.
So 2012, a fresh start, the daylight will be drawing out again soon, and Spring will be upon us before we know about it. All the economic forecasters are pessimistic but I think that as a nation we like a bit of doom and gloom: Robert Peston on the BBC lugubriously forecasting financial Armageddon gives us a frisson of fear, Faisal Islam on Channel 4 blithely asserting that the Euro is "on its knees" fills us with glee that we aren't in it (although tied with the tightest umbilical cord). "Get thee hence" I say; I'm ignoring you and your end of the world prognostications, I'm keeping my eye on the things that I am able to influence, keeping focused on the reality of my life and working hard to make 2012 a better year than 2011 was for me, my family and my team.
Too much media negativity can make us all believe that things can't possibly be getting better, so let's ignore the naysayers and doom-mongers and keep focused on the positives.

Blouse: c/o sugarlips, Skirt: F21, Shoes: borrowed!
I don't know what it is about me and the color peach but I just love it. I'm pretty sure if I was only allowed to wear one color for the rest of my life, this would be it. I'm also pretty sure that an eight year old version of myself would be explaining to me how my shoes don't match my outfit because I don't have a speck of turquoise in my blouse or skirt. To which I would reply, "I know, it's because I'm not a carefree adult ever since I graduated college." Only I just wish that was the case. It turns out life doesn't slow down any after college. But on the bright side, I'm not being tested over the Hunger Games books I am finally reading and I no longer spend my days carrying around heavy baggage of notebooks, textbooks, and my lovely laptop. Just a workin' girl with my heels, my lace, and my peachiness.

PARDON OUR DUST: Please bear with us while we revise our website.
Welcome to the University Writing Center's homepage. Our mission is to help each student who comes to us become a better writer. We are located in the John F. Kennedy Library, Palmer Wing room 1039A. Please visit us or call us at (323) 343-5350.
Writing Center Services
The Writing Center offers a variety of services to the entire CSULA student body. You can come in with any type of writing assignment at any stage of the process. We can help you understand the assignment, organize, and revise your paper. We can even help you learn to proofread for your most common mistakes. While you can drop in for tutoring, the best way to get one-to-one feedback is to make an appointment. The process is on our Tutoring Services page. In addition to one-to-one tutoring for students, we also offer support for the WPE.
The Writing Center provides tutoring and other assistance for all CSULA courses, from pre- baccalaureate composition courses to graduate seminars. In general, these services are not remedial, but are instead a powerful alternative or supplement to traditional modes of classroom instruction. We are strongly focused on the long-term development of individual writers rather than quick fixes for the paper at hand.
Writing Proficiency Exam
We provide student support services for the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR), consisting of the Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE) or UNIV 4010, the course alternative to the exam. We offer workshops to help students prepare for the WPE, consultation for those who want to review their passing or non-passing exam, and general information and advice for students about satisfying the GWAR, either by taking the WPE or UNIV 4010. Our goal is to help students improve their writing and meet the University's writing requirement in a timely manner.
For more information about eligibility and registration for the WPE, please visit the Testing Center website, or call them at (323) 343-3160.
PAIR - Peer-Aided Information Research Program
Library research assistance is available in the University Writing Center to help students conduct research. A PAIR assistant can also help students with formatting and documentation, using APA, MLA, and other styles. Spring semester PAIR hours are 12:00-6:00 PM Monday-Thursday, from February 6 to May 4 (Weeks 3-15). No appointment is necessary — just walk over to the person at the table with the PAIR sign on it.

Bentham has lost one of its greatest supporters with the sudden death of Anthony Bateson of Ghyll Head Farm.
Anthony's concern for people went beyond the agricultural community.
For 30 years he was a governor of Bentham Primary School. When the school was burgled and had to close, Anthony was one of the first to help the then headmaster David Johnson restore normality.
Anthony was a delegate to the National Farmers' Union Milk Board and an NFU Insurance Assessor. Some delegates would send apologies but he travelled miles to represent his neighbours.
To friends he was "Ant" and to the Vale of Lune Young Farmers he was "Father Ant." His trademark was a thumbs-up sign after a job well done, accompanied by an infectious chuckle. When he used his bus pass on the Blackpool trams recently he sat down and gave daughter Anthea the thumbs up as she waited to pay.
Anthony met his wife Esther at Bilsborrow in 1968, but due to a foot and mouth crisis they didn't arrange a date until 1969 and were married in 1971.
The ever-punctual Anthony was late for his own wedding. He'd forgotten the Banns Certificate so the driver turned back. Anthony was not a good traveller and spent the second, faster journey to the church being sick out of the window.
Anthony lived at Ghyll Head Farm all his life but was never a morning person. His late colleague Bill Park hid alarm clocks in his room to ensure that milking got under way.
In 1980 Anthony had a farm accident and suffered shattered vertebrae. He returned to work but large cows and bad backs do not mix so he decided to focus on his welding. Examples of his fine metalwork are all over the area.
His fields were let to other farmers and buildings to landscapers Steve Foster and Michael Johnson. Whenever their machinery needed repair Anthony would fix it for them whilst they were out.
Esther and Anthony loved ballroom dancing and some holidays were spent on dancing weekends. Anthony was a good teacher to those who needed help with their footwork.
He enjoyed the social side of politics and single-handedly put the fun into fundraising. His family knew when it was time to leave an event though as Anthony would begin to roll his own smokes.
At his funeral, the priest described Anthony as "a deeply spiritual person". He worshipped at Low Bentham Parish Church and gave practical help whether moving pews or providing props for the lambing service and farmers' harvest.
The funeral was attended by hundreds of friends from all over Britain.
Anthony had made time for his family and community and people wanted to thank him.
Anthony leaves a widow, Esther, daughters Gillian and Anthea and son-in-law David.

Nevada Democrat accused of threatening fellow lawmaker
A Democratic Nevada lawmaker has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to hurt another state representative, North Las Vegas police said.
Steven Brooks, 40, who represents northern Las Vegas in the state Legislature, was charged with intimidating a public officer with physical force. According to the city jail's website, Brooks was charged with a state statute that indicates the threat was "immediate," making the charge a felony.
Bail was set at $100,000. Police would not say whether Brooks had a weapon with him.
Democratic sources told the Las Vegas Sun that he had threatened the state Legislature's Democratic speaker-elect, Marilyn Kirkpatrick.
North Las Vegas police started searching for Brooks on Saturday afternoon after receiving a report of the threat that was corroborated by other witnesses, police said in a statement.
