Primary Outcome Measures:
- Children With T1D Underwent a Single Autologous UCB Transfusion [ Time Frame: Baseline to Year 2 ]All participants were monitored for 2 years. Baseline and post-infusion mixed meal tolerance tests were performed to determine whether autologous cord blood infusion preserved endogenous insulin production. The change in median area under the curve for C-peptide (measure of insuln production) from baseline to to 2 years during a 2 hour mixed meal tolerance test was used as the primary outcome measure and was reported in ng/ml/120 minutes

Gus Gutierrez doesn't mind that his wife has a tattoo of another man's face on her body.
On 24-year-old Sandry Esquivel's right shoulder is a head-shot of a young King – Elvis Presley.
"It's not a problem at all," said Gutierrez, 22, who sports an Elvis-like black pompadour hairstyle. "He's an American icon."
Gutierrez and Esquivel were among the legion of super-fans celebrating the "King of Rock and Roll" on Sunday in the 14th annual Elvis Festival at Orange County Market Place in OC Fair & Event Center, Costa Mesa.
Fans sported pompadour hair, long sideburns, wore sequined white jump suits and even drove hot pink Cadillacs at what longtime Elvis impersonator and host Kirk Wall calls the "El-vistal," a combination of Elvis and festival.
"There are a lot of people that claim they are 'the king;' Elvis is the only king," Wall said, imitating Presley's unique Southern baritone.
What started out as a car show and marketing ploy has grown considerably the past 14 years because of Elvis' pop culture status, said Jill Lloyd, public relations coordinator for O.C. Marketplace.
Elvis passed away at the age of 42 in 1977, but his legacy in music and movies will never be forgotten, said Lloyd.
The Elvis Festival in Orange County traditionally follows Elvis Week at the Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn., where every year thousands of fans gather in mid-August at the anniversary of his death to celebrate Elvis' life and music.
At the festival, impersonators age 4 to 64 dressed up like the King.
There were contests, such as the "Piled High Priscilla Hair" and "Elevated Elvis," where judges measured contestants by the size of their coiffures.
There was an Elvis karaoke singing competition called Crème de la King, tribute artists singing Elvis' top songs, and a car show featuring vintage Cadillac cars.
At least 500 people joined the festivities Sunday. Lloyd said she thinks Elvis events like these can go on forever.
"This year's theme was 'Timeless Inspiration,'" Lloyd said. "That's exactly what Elvis and his music is – timeless."

The Dental Center at Western University of Health Sciences is seeking people interested in serving as patients for dental students who will be taking dental licensing exams next month.
To determine if prospective volunteers qualify to participate as patients they must have a dental screening which will be offered free of cost from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday (Feb. 23), according to a University statement.
The screening will take place at the Dental Center, found on the third floor of the University's Patient Care Center, 795 E. Second St.
Fourth year students of the University's College of Dental Medicine need patients that they can provide dental care to as part of the Western Regional Board Dental Licensing Examinations they will take from March 22 through March 24, the statement said.
Those who qualify to be patients for the licensing exams may have X-rays taken, fillings and cleanings completed for free, the statement said.
Prospective patients must be available during the licensing examination dates which may be scheduled after undergoing the screening and being assigned to a student.
Those who qualify to be patients may also be asked to have an additional evaluation between the time of the screening and the licensing examination, the statement said.
People missing multiple teeth will not qualify to participate in the licensing examinations but are invited to contact the Dental Center to discuss comprehensive dental care opportunities at reduced costs in the student clinics.
For additional information on the dental screenings call (909) 706-3910.

Perhaps my expectations for Guilford Lobster Pound were too high, or maybe I was just mad at it for not being open the four previous times I tried to visit, but it just wasn't as good as I had hoped. I should mention that you should call ahead and confirm with an actual person that they will still be open when you get there. They are only open Wednesday-Sunday, 12-6, May-Memorial Day. But, I have found out that those hours are a bit flexible, so is the May part. Guilford Lobster Pound is a little shingled building at the back of the parking lot for another restaurant with a wide deck with picnic tables and a glorious view of the water. Walk past the building to the deck where the lobster rolls, along with a minimalist menu including hot dogs, chowder and stuffed clams, are served. The pound is owned by an actual lobsterman who catches his own lobsters from his boat that is docked right there and they also run boat tours from there. As far as I'm aware, this is the only lobster pound in CT that is owned and run by a lobsterman and he sells his lobsters right there. I did not gather that you can order a lobster steamed and eat it on the deck, but maybe you do that inside the building, not sure, it wasn't on the menu.
I assumed, but still asked if the lobster meat for the roll was cooked and picked there, by them and his wife confirmed that it was. The hot lobster roll was served to us at our table wrapped simply in foil. My first impression was that it looked very red and full of spongies for a lobsterman fresh roll. I have high expectations for a lobsterman's roll, I guess I expect it too look like lazy man's lobster, picked fresh out of the lobster, possibly cut up and served up on a bun. The color always sets of a "red" flag for me (pun intended). This is just a personal theory, but fresh meat usually looks white and pink, anything else usually has a very red color to it. I sometimes wonder if part of that might be fresh meat sitting around in butter instead of being tossed to order might have something to do with it. Bends in the spongies are another flag for me. When you pick a lobster, have you ever seen the spongies be anything but straight and flexible? So, when I see a fold set in the spongie, that makes me think it has been out of the shell and sitting in that position for quite some time. The flavor of the meat was fine, a little dry in texture and the butter didn't sog up the bun. The bun was the best part in my opinion, it was perfectly buttery, crispy grilled and warm. As you may have figured out, I'm not a fan of spongies and I pulled a full 6 large spongies from my roll, which left a whole lot less edible meat on the bun. If this is fresh picked, what did they do with the tail meat? That's always why I'm suspicious of claw/knuckle only rolls.
The chowder was really the high point of the meal, it was one of the best Rhode Island (broth) style chowders I have had the pleasure of eating. It was chock full of clams, briny, lots of herbs and red skin potatoes, good stuff. I was very disappointed with the lobster roll, it wasn't bad, it's just that I expected better. But, the view here is beyond stunning, the staff couldn't be friendlier and they encourage you to byob. I would love to come back on a sunny afternoon with a bottle of wine and watch the boats go by with a cup of that chowder, and maybe a hot dog. I'm not really sure what a stuffed clam is, but perhaps I'll find out.

Super slimmer Chris Callow says he is healthier and fitter after shedding more than five stones in weight.
Mr Callow, 56, was named as man of the year at the Devizes Tuesday morning Slimming World group that he attends.
The married father-of-four grown up children was referred to the group by his GP last June after he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
Mr Callow, of The Fairway, Devizes, was 19 stone 1lb when he joined the group, which meets in St Andrew's Church, and now he is just under 14 stone.
He has ditched crisps, eats more fruit, uses spray cooking oil and goes to the gym several times a week at Devizes Leisure Centre.
Mr Callow, chairman of Roundway Parish Council, said: "There are things I do now which I couldn't before. I walk up the stairs two at a time, before I got out of breath. If I'm peckish I eat more fruit.
"Going to Slimming World has helped me a lot. If I hadn't lost weight I would have been put on medication for my diabetes."
Most of the slimming group members are women and Mr Callow, who retired as a project manager from Wiltshire Council a year ago, admitted he was timid when he first joined.
He said: "I was a bit concerned I was the only fella there, but there are one or two others who go. The ladies in the group are very supportive."
Mr Callow has set himself a new target of getting down to 13 and a half stones.
Slimming world consultant and group leader Pauline Wilding said of Mr Callow: "Chris was a bit apprehensive when he joined the class but he knew he had to lose weight for his health.
"He started cooking and did lots of recipes which he found easy and satisfying.
"He is really supportive of other members in the group."

Did no team even make him an offer? WTH!
The Sixers still have $14+ mil in CapSpace?
Geez....what are they going to do with that?
My guess is that they will continue to hoard future 1st and 2nd round draft picks while taking on huge Expiring Contracts that Teams don't want anymore.
Apparently, they have some Draft Strategy....but I have no clue what it is other than hoarding Draft Picks. Maybe they are trying to pull off some Boston Celtics / KG / Ray Allen type trade scenario where they trade for some All Star?
I have no clue what they are doing.....

According to Stan Van Gundy, neither Monroe nor his agent have contacted him about signing the QO. Might be a false alarm/scare tactic.
In any case, Monroe has yet to sign anything. Maybe he intends to and maybe he doesn't, but he has not signed it yet.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
They've gotten really lucky with the way things have turned out too. Noel was supposed to be #1, but then he gets hurt and they get him for 6. Embiid was supposed to be #1 as well, but then he gets hurt and they get him at 3. Saric was a player who was supposed to go before their pick at 10, but then he decides to stay in Europe for two more years and not only were they able to get him, they were able to get one of their future picks back as well. They also get to send two seconds instead of a first to Boston if they stay in the lottery this year.
Their plan seems to be to amass all this talent, then try to add players in free agency right before the talent gets paid. Look at two offseasons from now. They'll have MCW, Noel, and Bennett from Cleveland going into their 4th year. They'll have Embiid going into his third year. They'll have Saric coming over from Europe. They'll have another likely top 5 pick going into his second year. They'll have several cheap 2nd round picks, so maybe one or two of those turn into role players.
They can roll into free agency that summer with enough money to sign two superstars (or 3 or 4 lesser players, etc.). Then after they make big free agency splashes, they can turn around and sign all those players in the following years using Bird rights.
It's a risky plan, but if your ownership gives you the time to do it, it's also the best way to get extra assets for free.
Hopefully he can become our back up center after Mahinmi's contract expires.
"Shayne Whittington? I know nothing about him, so he has to be better than what the Pacers have!"
I'd be careful for what you wish for, you might just get it and find out it's not what you imagined. I would hope one would find out if Mr. Whittington could actually hold the spot, before I hoped it was his.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
Mahinmi really isn't that bad. As far as backup centers go, you could do far worse.
Why so SERIOUS
R U really expecting Vogel to give him PT? He'll be lucky if he gets Plumlee minutes with Pendergraph minutes at best this season.
If their plan was actually this simple, other teams would do it. You did a great job explaining it, but winning actual games has to start somewhere. It seems like the Philly GM thinks he is smarter than everybody else with his losing, stockpiling players plan. This year, they will be just as bad as last year if not worse. You need to bottom out, and build your team gradually back up. Bottoming out every single year, and not competing in the actual games, has never been a successful re-building plan. I don't have a problem with the Embiid or Noel picks, but the Saric pick is taking the strategy too far. This isn't going to end well for Philly
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I also think MCW is a bit over-rated. Sure he played well as a rookie, and proved he is a legitimate NBA player. I don't really see him becoming a franchise/all-star type player. Whatever Philadelphia is planning, having their team built around MCW is not a part of it
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
No not this season, I am looking more towards future seasons.

To help the estimated 144,000-plus county residents who don't have health insurance buy the medicines they need to stay healthy. This is more than 13 percent of the county's total population, according to Census estimates. The card also can help people with health insurance any time they must pay full price for a drug.
How can I use this card if I have insurance?
It can save you money any time you must pay full price for a drug. You cannot use it to get an additional discount on the price you pay when buying medicines through your insurance plan. Nor can the card be used to reduce the cost of co-pays, co-insurance or deductibles.
What is covered?
Most prescription drugs qualify for a discount. (If you buy medicine through your insurance plan, you cannot get a discount.) Discounts are available on vision, LASIK and hearing services, and for a fee, discounted dental network plans are also available.
You can even use the discount card for some medications for your pets. However, they must be human drugs prescribed for an animal, and the prescription must be filled at a pharmacy, not a vet's office.
Are there limits to how often I can use the card?
No. You can use the card as many times as you like, and there are no limits on the number of prescription drugs you can buy using the card.
Does this card guarantee that I will get the lowest price for my medicine?
No. Even when you use the card, you should always shop for the best price because pharmacies all charge different prices for the exact same drugs. Pharmacies also may offer sale prices for some drugs, especially generics. Follow these tips to make sure you get the best price.
Do I get prescription or health insurance with this card?
No. This card only gives you discounts on prescription drugs. It does not provide you with any prescription or health insurance coverage.
Where can I use the card?
At almost every pharmacy in Fairfax County, plus 62,000 others across the nation. To learn which pharmacies accept the discount card, visit ProAct's Web site, or call them toll-free at 1-877-776-2285, TTY 711.
Will my personal or health information be collected or sold?
No. You don't need to provide any personal or health information to get or use the card—nor does the county or ProAct collect this kind of information when you use it. However, pharmacies that accept the card will report to ProAct and the county on the total amount and types of drugs they sold by discount. This is so the county can know the total savings provided to residents through their use of the card.

LRI Leads the Lupus Biomarker Search
In its commitment to staying open to powerful new ideas in lupus research, the Lupus Research Institute has reaped a remarkable reward for the more than 1.5 million Americans and millions more worldwide with this devastating disease—a panel of candidate biomarkers that may have the potential to change the way that lupus affects their lives.
In just 6 years, the LRI has invested $6 million in novel studies that are now generating findings on 20 potential lupus biomarkers. This research is taking place today in laboratories nationwide and is as varied and heterogeneous as the multi-system disease itself. "Of the numerous highly promising biomarkers for lupus currently under investigation," notes Hugh O. McDevitt, MD, professor of immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine and an LRI Scientific Advisory Board member, "several were generated by the high-risk, high-reward approach of the LRI. The Institute's contribution to lupus biomarkers has been immeasurable."
An independent outside assessment of the Institute's 3-year studies completed so far shows that seven have such potential as biomarkers that testing them in people and human tissue has already begun. And first glimpses of the many studies still underway indicate that six or more could lead to completely new candidate biomarkers.

Retail earnings season was just getting warmed up when Wal-Mart (WMT) dropped its own rogue meteorite late Friday afternoon. According to an internal company email obtained by Bloomberg, February sales to date are "a total disaster," according to the company vice president who is responsible for logistics and finance. The executive also described this February as the worst start to a month he has seen in his seven years with the discounter.
And those internal emails are not only pointing fingers at February. Another executive sent an email dated Feb. 1 asking, "Where are all the customers? And where is all their money?"
Enter the damage-control machine. A Wal-Mart spokesperson suggested that internal emails might not be totally accurate and might include opinions or be taken out of context. Call me crazy, but I would take these alarm-ringing emails seriously any day of the week.
If you had been following the trail of breadcrumbs at Wal-Mart, you might not be completely surprised at the executive's revelations. Let's rewind the tape.
- In mid-December, CEO Mike Duke suggested that 75% of consumers were aware of the fiscal cliff, and 15% of that group said they would curb holiday spending. Next stop: the debt-ceiling debate.
- Dollar stores have been warning us about price competition since October, when outright price decreases started showing up in ads. Dollar General (DG) was the first to suggest it will protect unit growth by investing in price. Yes, that is bad for Wal-Mart, the everyday-low-price leader.
- Family Dollar's (FDO) comps in December decelerated to 2.5% from high single digits in previous months
- We all know about the payroll tax hike this year that will deliver a $1,000 hit to households that make $50,000 or more per year. Many retailers' January same-store sales were strong enough that they could brush this under the rug, but maybe it just took a little longer for the bi-monthly paycheck hit to sink in
Wal-Mart reports earnings before the open on Thursday. The good news is that this runaway email has set the bar low not only for Wal-Mart but also for retail in general. And that just confirms the already low expectations for initial retail guidance for 2013.

For 31 years, Michael Lubahn Clark denied killing his wife. He said she left him in the middle of the night following an argument. She was gone when he awakened in the morning at their Torrance home.
His wife's family believed him, inviting him to holiday parties and family events, and giving him his father-in-law's painting business. No way would Clark kill his high school sweetheart, the mother of his first two children.
But Monday, two months after a Torrance jury dismissed Clark's own testimony about how his wife left him March 31, 1981, never to be heard from again, Clark finally confessed, telling a prosecutor and detectives that he killed the 26-year-old woman in a rage at home. He hid her body in their garage, and later tied it to cinder blocks and submerged it off the Rancho Palos Verdes coast.
Clark, 59, confessed in the hours before he was set to be sentenced to prison for 15 years to life. Deputy District Attorney John Lewin said in court that Clark has agreed to join a Sheriff's Department dive team on board a boat Wednesday to show them the spot some 500 to 800 yards off Point Vicente where he disposed of his wife's body.
The hope is that some 50 divers expected to search for Carol Meyer Lubahn's remains will find something to return to her family for proper burial.
"Even if all we get is a cinder block, they want it," Lewin told Torrance Superior Court Judge Eric Taylor. "They want something."
Despite Lewin's pleas for Clark to stand up in court and tell the truth, Clark did not say a word. Lewin instead recounted his confession, made during a morning meeting at the courthouse.
The confession came in stark contrast to everything Clark said during his six-week trial in September and October, when he was found guilty of second-degree murder.
Clark had told family members, police, the Daily Breeze and ultimately jurors that his wife of 10 years disappeared in the middle of the night following an argument about whether to sell the house. He said he awakened to find their bed empty, the garage door open and his wife's car gone. Telling police he believed she had run off, he found her 1979 Audi Fox three days later parked outside the Red Onion restaurant in Redondo Beach and filed a missing person report.
The case then went unsolved, although Torrance detectives always believed Clark had something to do with her disappearance.
Clark, who had met his wife when they were students at North High School in Torrance and married her when she became pregnant, said in a 1997 interview that he had tried to put his wife's disappearance behind him.
"The whole thing has been real strange," he told the Daily Breeze. "I don't like to talk about it. So many years go by and you get it out of your mind. You hear a song on the radio and it pops back in your mind. It's weird."
Clark remarried, had two more children, changed his last name to his middle name, "Clark," and moved to Huntington Beach. He inherited his father-in-law's painting business when Milton Meyer retired, and later died.
Two years ago, Torrance police "cold case" detectives decided they had enough evidence to arrest him.
Clark then continued to claim his innocence, turning down the prosecution's offer of a lesser voluntary manslaughter conviction for the truth about where to find his wife's body. But, in a recent letter to the judge, Clark said an attorney told him there was no way he would be convicted of murder without forensic evidence and turned down the offer.
Jurors, presented with weeks of testimony showing inconsistent statements that Clark made over the years, convicted him of second-degree murder in a few hours.
In a hearing Dec. 12, Carol Lubahn's sister, Terri Meyer Samuelson, delivered a letter to the judge asking him to impose a sentence lighter than the mandatory 15 years to life, so Clark might reveal the truth.
"What we really need to know is what happened to her and where is her body," Samuelson wrote. "I feel like he still has some information for us and would be more likely to confess given some incentive, such as a shorter sentence. I don't feel like his punishment serves a purpose if we do not get the information we need to have full closure and we can say goodbye to our beloved sister."
On Monday, Clark told this story to investigators, although he received no deal:
He and his wife had indeed argued about the house that night. Carol Lubahn indeed took off in her car. But unlike Clark's original story, she returned home about 1:30 a.m.
She had met another man, she told him, and planned to take him to her sister Terri Meyer's wedding days later.
Clark told the detectives he was hurt and grabbed a pillow to sleep on the couch. His wife tried to talk to him and console him, telling her husband he would find someone else, but he became angry and shoved her. Carol Lubahn fell back and hit her head on a table.
"He knew instantly she was dead," Lewin said.
Clark said he hid her body behind a roll of carpeting in their garage, got into her car, drove to the Red Onion restaurant on Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach and parked it there. He returned home in the morning just as Carol Lubahn's father, Milton Meyer, arrived.
Clark later wrapped his wife's body in cloth and blankets, and attached 50 feet of nylon rope to cinder blocks. He loaded her body into his truck, drove to Point Vicente and put her body onto a raft. An expert scuba diver, Clark put on a wet suit and flippers and paddled out about 200 to 500 yards beyond the kelp line. There, he let the cinder blocks pull her body down, never to be seen again.
Lewin said detectives believed Clark's account of how he hid the body, but did not believe his account of how he killed his wife. After taking and failing a lie detector test Monday, Clark altered his story, saying he did not "push" his wife, he actually punched her hard in the face, knocking her over and into the table, Lewin said.
"I don't know if we'll ever know what happened, but we are closer than we were at the start," Lewin said.
In a Dec. 14 letter to his 86-year-old mother-in-law, Melba Meyer, Clark wrote that he was not thinking straight when he hid the crime. He wrote that he was afraid of going to prison and leaving the couple's young children behind. He thanked the elderly woman for her kindness and said he hoped his confession helped her.
"Words cannot express how sorry I am," he wrote. "I will take whatever punishment they give me."
Taylor sentenced Clark to 15 years to life in prison.
Outside the courtroom, Carol Lubahn's mother said she had not known what to believe about her son-in-law for years until the trial. She said she did not believe Clark's story of how he killed her daughter but was glad to learn the truth, that her daughter would never come home after always believing it was a possibility.
"It's been hard," she said. "It's been really hard."
Said Lewin: "He had 30 years of freedom that he shouldn't have had. He let his kids think their mother voluntarily abandoned them."

Onix radiant tubing is specifically manufactured for rugged, long-term radiant heating and hydronic applications. The chemical composition of the tubing lends itself well to long-term high-temperature use while maintaining durability and consistency. High maximum temperature and pressure ratings are a trademark feature of Onix tubing, with an aramid reinforcement layer to provide resilience while allowing the tube to remain flexible. Onix tubing is a product that can be used with lifelong confidence with a wide variety of hydronic and radiant heating products.
Product Features
Easily Handles Extreme Temperatures
Onix tubing is capable of handling a wide variety of temperature ranges with ease. Blazingly hot summers to freezing winters have no effect on the flexibility or durability of the tube, allowing it to be installed at nearly any point on the globe with confidence.
Highly Resistant to UV Rays
Installing Onix tubing in direct sunlight or underground has no effect on the tube's longevity or function. Onix tubing's unique chemical composition makes it virtually immune to normally harmful UV rays.
AlumaShield Oxygen Barrier
Onix tubing has Watts Radiant's signature shielding, AlumaShield, built into it from the start. This shielding protects a hydronic system's fluid from unwanted oxygen permeation.
Crush and Expansion Resistant
The unprecedented durability of Onix tubing is made possible by its unique EDPM rubber. This highly durable rubber makes the tubing highly resistant to crushing, deformation, and kinking. It also prevents the tube from expanding or contracting as a result of system fluid temperature change.
Immune to Stress Cracking
Inside the Onix tubing is a mesh of 1000 denimer aramid cord, the same material that is used to manufacture bullet proof shields. This wire mesh makes the tubing impervious to stress cracks and gives it a high resistance to pressure bursting.
Easy to Install
Onix tubing requires no special tools for installation, making it the easiest radiant tube to install. This helps you to set up your radiant heating system more quickly and for less money than other options.

- How to Read a Study Record
Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, lupus) appear to be at increased risk for the development of shingles, a painful reactivation of the varicella zoster virus that causes chicken pox.
The investigators propose to study the immune response to commercially available Zostavax vaccine (shingles vaccine) in adult patients with SLE who have minimal disease activity and are on mild immunosuppressant medications, and to compare the immune response to that seen in healthy people following vaccination. Acceptable immunosuppressive drugs permitted in the study are those felt to be safe according to Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
Ten healthy people and 10 SLE patients (all over 50 years of age) will be recruited to receive a single, standard dose of Zostavax. Blood samples and physical examination will be performed prior to injection, then 2,6,and 12 weeks following vaccination. All participants will receive active vaccine, there is no placebo group.

As the woman charged with operating unlicensed assisted living facilities watches her case wind through the court system, the players are changing.
As the woman charged with operating unlicensed assisted living facilities watches her case wind through the court system, the players are changing.
On Wednesday Circuit Judge Jonathan Ohlman presided over a hearing in the case for the first time, taking over for Judge Brian Lambert, who is now an appellate judge in Daytona Beach.
During the morning hearing, Ohlman granted defense attorney Todd Hopson's request to be removed from the case. Defense attorney J. Melanie Slaughter is now representing Mary Deneen Alexander, 48.
Alexander is charged with two counts of felony operating unlicensed assisted living facilities in Marion Oaks. She was also charged with one count of felony neglect of an elderly person or disabled adult, but a jury that heard the case in April acquitted her on this charge.
The jury could not agree on a verdict for the other two counts.
According to Florida law, part of the definition of an assisted living facility states it must provide "one or more personal services."
At trial, Hopson argued that to prove the provision of "personal service," the state must prove Alexander provided the residents with both assistance with, or supervision of, activities of daily living, and with assistance with, or supervision of, self administration of medication.
Assistant State Attorney Phil Hanson argued he only had to prove Alexander provided either assistance with, or supervision of, activities of daily living, or assistance with, or supervision of, administration of medication.
The jury asked several questions about the law. Since the attorneys disagreed, Lambert could only give the jury limited guidance, which ultimately led to a hung jury.
The attorneys are now trying to prevent the same issue from recurring if the case proceeds to trial again.
Hanson filed a motion asking the judge to prohibit the defense from arguing the state must prove both elements to prove Alexander provided personal services.
"This is a legal issue, that I think the court needs to resolve this," Hanson told Olhman. "I don't think it has to be in the jury's hands — does he have to prove one, or does he have to prove both?"
Hanson acknowledged if he had to prove both, he could not prove his case because he cannot prove the assistance of daily living element.
"That's where we stand, and it's a bit muddled, there's no question about that," Hanson said.
The case was scheduled to begin jury selection for the re-trial this coming Monday, but since Slaughter is new to the case and Hanson's motion is still pending, Ohlman agreed to continue the case until July 23.
He also continued Alexander's second case, where she is charged with fraud for allegedly stealing food stamps, to September.
According to Hanson, a plea offer has been extended in the assisted living facility case that calls for an adjudication of guilt and five years of probation. Alexander also would be required to completely exit the landlord-tenant business.
During the April trial, she took the stand and told the jury she continues to operate three homes in Marion Oaks.
She testified her businesses provide emergency shelter and transitional housing and do not charge those who cannot afford to pay.
While several state witnesses described poor living conditions in the homes, defense witnesses were appreciative of Alexander's good Samaritan efforts.

On June 6th, 2005, Monday Night Raw came to St. Louis and on this night, we would find out who the first person was to be drafted from SmackDown to Raw! Chris Jericho held his Highlight Reel show to kick off Raw. He didn't waste anytime and said "Bring out Raw's first draft pick!" A silence went over the crowd as they awaited to see who it was. Then out of no where, John Cena's music went off and the place went nuts! Wearing a very old retro St. Louis Spirit jersey, John Cena came out pumped up and ready to go! I was there and was not expecting this to happen. Just a great memory and was a great moment for Raw.
19. Mike Tyson/Stone Cold Stare Down - January 19th, 1998
The night before this Raw was the Royal Rumble. On that ppv they showed Mike Tyson sitting in a press box with Shane McMahon watching the show. Stone Cold would go on to win that year's Royal Rumble match. The next night on Raw, Vince McMahon introduced the "Baddest Man on the Planet! Iron Mike Tyson!" Tyson would come out with his entourage and Vince announced that Tyson would be the special enforcer for the WWE Championship at Wrestle Mania 14. Stone Cold comes out talks trash to Tyson and gives him the finger. Tyson would follow up and brawl broke out. Vince was irate, yelling "you ruined it!" The confrontation was all over news and sports outlets all around the world, making that years Wrestle Mania a can't miss.
18. Vince McMahon's Hospital Visitors - October 5th, 1998
Vince McMahon was in the hospital due to a foot injury and he got some unexpected visitors this night. First, Mankind decides to stop by with some balloons, a clown, and the debut of Mr. Socko! Vince was not too pleased. With Mankind trying his best to cheer up his boss, he makes Socko kiss Vince's broken foot. Which actually hurts Vince, making him getting very pissed and kicks everyone out of the room. The next time they show Vince in the hospital the nurse is checking up on Vince and the doctor walks in. "Oh I'll take it from here nurse" is said in the back by the doctor and Vince's eyes light up because everyone knows that voice. Stone Cold then runs over to Vince and beats the living hell out of him. He starts punching his foot and then hits Vince over the head with a bedpan. A great comedic segment for Raw.
17. DX Invades WCW - April 27th, 1998
Before I start on this one, WCW really pussied out on this! They could have had the greatest episode of Nitro they have ever done and DX invading would have backfired in WWE's face! But thank God they did because I hated WCW! I love how this starts out with Triple H acting like he is a Sargent walking up and down the line of DX. With DX holding guns acting like they are in the army and WCW is the enemy, which they were in a Monday night war. It was one of the most entertaining segments DX has ever done! DX goes up to the arena in a tank, where WCW is holding Nitro that night. DX would then go around to every fan asking if they liked WCW and almost everyone said no! DX chants came around and then DX decided to try and go into the arena through the garage. But when they tried, the garage door closed. DX tried to knock on the door but to avail. DX then decided it was back to return home to the WWE.
16. Eric Bischoff Debuts - July 15th, 2002
"Tell me I didn't just see that?!" Booker T said those famous words when he saw Eric Bischoff smile at him and walk by him. After the next commercial break, Vince McMahon comes and says he has found a replacement for the Raw GM. "And his name is Eric Bischoff!" Bischoff comes out and the two hugged on stage while the crowd was stunned! These two hated each other for the longest time and now best friends?! An unforgettable moment for Raw, the WWE and the wrestling world!
15. Ric Flair Returns - November 19th, 2001
It was the night after one of the biggest Survivor Series in WWE history. Team WWE defeated the Alliance and took full control back over the WWE. The next night on Raw a change was coming. Vince McMahon was about to strip the WWE Championship from Stone Cold and give to Kurt Angle, but then "WOOOO!" Ric Flair comes out and Vince and Kurt want to what's going on. Flair announced that the night before, he bet on a winner. When Shane and Stephanie sold their stocks....they sold it to the Nature Boy WOOO! In the words of Ric Flair to Vince McMahon "We're partners!" Vince freaked out and out came Stone Cold! He beat the living hell out of Angle and Vince, then took his belt back, and had a beer bash with Flair! WOOOOOO!
14. The Rock's First Concert - March 24th, 2003
"Leavin Sacramento, Sacramento there I go. They got some fat ass women and the Rock is gonna just say no. I might catch a plane, I might catch a train. How do you people live here? You must be insane! Sacramento I won't stay. But I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May!" This song should have won a Grammy. I love this damn segment! The Rock played his Hollywood character perfectly! What made this awesome and hilarious was the fact how he could get the crowd cheering and then booing just seconds later. You could just tell The Rock was just having so much fun doing this. Even though the crowd boo'd it, they sure as hell loved it at the same time. Not to mention the guitar was signed by Willie Nelson. "The Rock can't wait to whip your bald candy-ass again!" And the last and final song of the concert should have also won a Grammy! How can you not love this segment?! To make things better Stone Cold would eventually come out and brawl followed, well actually the Hurricane came out first and we got hear some awesome Hamburglar jokes lol. A classic night in Sacramento for sure!
13. Kane Returns - August 26th, 2002
For weeks, Kane promos had been appearing on Raw, hyping the monster's return. On August 26th, 2002, the Un-Americans (Test, Christian, and Lance Storm) decided they wanted to burn the American flag. Just as they were about to do it Kane's pyro went off and another promo for him showed on the titantron. Kane did not come out and so the Un-Americans continued. Booker T and Goldust came running through the crowd and jumped into the ring. They tried to stop them but it was three against two. They fought to the outside of the ring and while it seemed that Christian and Storm had Booker and Goldust under control outside, Test went back into the ring and was getting to burn the flag. As he got closer, Kane's pyro went off again but this time the Monster appeared with a new mask, outfit, and music. The monster was reborn! Kane came down and beat the crap of the Un-Americans and they ran back to the locker room. A huge USA chant came around and the crowd went crazy. Booker T did a spin-a-roonie, while Kane then tried a Kane-a-roonie! In my book, it was one of the best returns in WWE history.
12. Shawn Michaels' Montreal Promo - August 15th, 2005
I've said once before and I'll say it again, a heel Shawn Michaels is money! Montreal is one of the best places for a hot WWE crowd! Montreal never moved on from 1997, they never moved on from the Montreal Screwjob! Just a week prior to this Raw, Shawn Michaels turned heel after giving a Sweet Chin Music to Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart are Gods in Montreal and Shawn was diffidently the villain there. Shawn came out to some of the loudest boo's I have ever heard! Before he could say anything a large mixture of "You screwed Bret" and You screwed Hulk" chants filled out the arena in a very red hot Montreal crowd! Some of the first words to come from Shawn were "Oh Canada, how I hate this place. I'm gonna kick Hulk Hogan right in the face!" You almost couldn't even hear him talk because the crowd was so loud. But the best part of the whole segment was when he started talking about he screw Bret Hart over again if he had to. Then out of no where Bret Hart's music kicked on and the placed erupted! The speakers on my television were crackling because the crowd was so loud. The crowd was going crazy but only to realize that Shawn had tricked them and Bret was never there. "Got your hopes up just a little bit, didn't I?!" Shawn Michaels is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! PERIOD!
11. Stone Cold Saves Team WWE - June 17th, 2001
This moment was awesome just due to the fact how stunners are involved. The Alliance had taken over and started beating down on the whole WWE roster. They were even fighting backstage and in the parking lot. As the fights were happening in the parking lot, Stone Cold pulls up in his trademark truck and starts to beat the crap out of everyone in the parking lot. He walks into the backstage area and continues to beat ass! They cut back to the ring where a huge brawl is still taking place. Then the glass shatters! Stone Cold comes out to a huge ovation! He starts to kick everyone's ass and then one by one stunners almost everyone in the ring! The greatest part about it was that every time he stunners someone, the crowd pops every time! And to cap it all off the Undertaker and Kane choke-slam wrestlers at the same time, as team WWE stood tall.
We are half way through the count down and I think we need a little intermission. So go check my boys on twitter @MarkinOut! Help them get to 5,000 followers and more! And subscribe to their awesome podcast, which is available through the iTunes store and www.Markinout.com (thumbs up)
Now back to the countdown to the top 10!
10. The Rock/Hulk Hogan Stare Down - March 18th, 2002
We would never see Tyson vs Ali, Jordan vs Lebron, Gretzky vs Crosby, Pele vs Messi but we did get to see Hogan vs Rock! Now, I never really liked Hulk Hogan but I respected him (same with Cena). He was the biggest thing in pro wrestling and it's really toss who the most popular was between Hogan, Rock and Stone Cold. Now, when the Rock came out to confront the Hulkster, he cut a great promo that was very true. Hogan headlined Wrestle Mania after Wrestle Mania. "How would you feel about headlining one more Wrestle Mania with the Rock?!" The crowd erupted and the had one of the best and most memorable stare downs I had ever witnessed. They looked around the crowd and the crowd still going nuts. A stare down between two icons, that I will never forget!
09. Chris Jericho Debuts - August 9th, 1999
The Rock was in the middle of cutting a promo, when out of no where the millennium countdown cut him off. As the clock ticked down to zero, the lights lowered into a different array of colors. Then, the lights go out and the arena is dark. A set of pryo goes off and music starts to play. And then on the screen the name Jericho appears and the crowds goes wild and Chris Jericho appears on stage doing his pose. "Welcome to Raw is Jericho!" He would go on to cut a classic promo with The Rock and was a great way to debut in the WWE!
08. Pillman's Got a Gun - November 4th, 1996
This has to be one of the most controversial if not the most controversial moment in WWE history! About a week before this moment, Stone Cold attacked Brian Pillman and broke his ankle. So on Raw, Brian Pillman was at home resting while Kevin Kelly was interviewing him. Pillman then shows that he is ready for Stone Cold if he shows up, by pulling out a gun! Pillman's family and friends were surrounding his house protecting him from Stone Cold. Stone Cold arrives at his house and starts to beat the crap out of Pillman's friends! Then Stone Cold proceeds to break into Pillman's home and as Stone Cold walks towards Pillman, Pillman points the gun towards Stone Cold and the feed gets cut. When they get the feed back on at Pillman's house, everyone thinks when Stone Cold saw the gun he left. But, Stone Cold comes running back in the house and yells "shoot me!" The people in the house push Stone Cold out, as Pillman continues to aim the gun at him! Truly a crazy moment in Raw's history!
07. WWE Buys WCW - March 26th, 2001
I will never forget the day I woke up and my Grandma showing me a article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch saying, the WWE buys WCW! The Monday Night War was over, one week before the best Wrestle Mania ever! I knew that this Raw was going to be special! Vince McMahon comes out and says he now owns WCW! At one point during the show Vince was on both Nitro and Raw. Vince wanted to sign a contract at Wrestle Mania saying he owns WCW. But Shane McMahon beat Vince to it and bought WCW! Thus, starting the Alliance angle.
06. Triple H Crashes a Wedding - November 29th, 1999
It was supposed to be a very special night for Test and Stephanie McMahon. But Triple H decided to crash the wedding. He told everyone that they might want to watch the tape he has set up for them. As the tape starts Triple H is driving down Las Vegas and showing all the great adult movie stores and wedding chapels around. He then pulls up to the Tunnel of Love. He proceeds to drive through and finally comes to a stop where a lady comes out a recognizes Triple H. She asks who do you plan on marrying and that's when he points over to a passed out Stephanie McMahon! The crowd sends out a shocked "OHHH!" Triple H was trying very hard to speed up the marriage process and acted like Stephanie wasn't passed out. "Get a nice shot of the new Hunter Hearst Helmsley!" As they cut back to the live crowd, Test is pissed and Stephanie is crying, while Triple H is smiling. "I know that you can only have one question on your mind, DAD! And that is, not did we but how many times did we consummate the marriage?!" This proved that Triple H was the best heel of this generation!
05. DX Forms - October 6th, 1997
To me DX began on this date. One of the greatest stables in the WWE started with a wedgie to Michael Cole by Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Shawn then proceeds to roll a clip from the Badd Blood PPV, but instead shows the infamous Curtain Call video. Showing how the heels hugged the babyfaces and Vince McMahon was not to happy about it. They took nothing seriously at all and were complete as*holes to everyone! "D-Generation X, you make the rules and we will break'em!" They would almost piss off everyone backstage, but in the end I think it paid off. If your not down with that, I got two words for ya...SUCK IT!
04. This is Your Life - September 27th, 1999
"Rock, this is your life!" The highest rated segment in Raw's history! Mankind thought it was the Rock's birthday, so he decided to throw a birthday bash for the Great One! Mankind would then to proceed to bring out random people from the Rock's past starting with the Rock's high school football coach, his teacher, and his high school sweetheart, which the Rock told all of them off! "Poo-tang your ass on out of here!" Mankind would proceed to give the Rock a sock with the Rock's face on it and called it Mr. Rocko! Then showed off the matching jackets they had and on the back it said the Rock N' Sock Connection. The Rock wasn't really enjoying any of it and finally told Mankind he's an idiot because the Rock's birthday was in May. It's still to this the highest rated segment ever on Raw with a 8.4 rating.
03. Pipe Bomb - June 6th, 2011
This is the greatest moment in the Cena/PG era! I always thought CM Punk was great on the mic, but this night proved me right! Punk's contract was coming to an end and he didn't one bit due to the way he had been treated. He then cut one of the if not the best shoot-promo of all time! He got a lot of things off of his chest that was very true! The best part about the whole thing was that he really felt that way about everything he was saying and what happened?! He became so big that he had to resign with WWE or he was stupid. "Maybe your just really good at kissing Vince McMahon's ass! Your as good at kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was!" He is so right about the Hulk Hogan comment, I just can't agree anymore! He brought attitude back to attitude-less WWE! "I'd like to think this company would be better after Vince McMahon is dead. But it's gonna get taken over by his idiotic daughter and doo-fus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family!" And just by saying that he became...THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
02. Beer Bash - March 22nd, 1999
To me this moment was the "I'm on the top of the world moment and there's no one that can stop me!" Stone Cold reached the top of the wrestling world and this was the moment that showed he was coolest thing in wrestling. "If your ready for Wrestle Mania, give me a hell yeah!" Stone Cold comes out driving a Coors Light beer truck that almost took down the titantron. The crowd is going nuts and Stone Cold cuts one of the best promos he had ever done. He then proceeds to spray Vince, Shane and Rock with beer! The crowd goes even crazier and to me it was one of the best ways to hype up a Wrestle Mania! Truly was Stone Cold's best moment and he was on top of the world there.
And now it's time for the number one moment in Raw's history
Katie Vick!
Ok. Ok. I'm just busting your balls
The real number one is....
01. Mankind Wins the WWE Championship - January 4th, 1999
"Mick Foley is going to win their World Title, ugh! That's going to put butts in seats." Well you little arrogant cocky as*hole, it did! Right as Tony Schiavone announce the spoilers on Nitro almost 600,000 viewers the channel right away to Raw! In my eyes this creates the single greatest moment in the history of Monday Night Raw! The best part about it was the live crowd. The crowd was ok to start the match but the end was crazy! Not to mention pretty much every big star in the WWE was apart of it besides the Undertaker. Mankind, The Rock, Stone Cold, DX, and Vince McMahon were all apart of it! The Rock was the champion and Mankind the underdog. The Rock had the Corporation on his side and Mankind had DX on his. The two wrestle for about ten minutes when hell brakes loose outside of the ring, as DX brawls with the Corporation. Then we all the glass shatter and the crowd erupts like none other! Stone Cold comes out and hits Rock over the head with a chair and makes Mankind pin the Rock. Thus, making Mankind the new WWE Champion! The crowd still going crazy wild, Stone Cold flips off Vince and walks away. While Mankind and DX celebrate in the ring for one of the most feel good moments in the history of not only Raw but the WWE!

Some LGBT advocates are calling on President Barack Obama to come out for marriage equality in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Others, however, say Obama should talk about anti-gay bullying. Bullying certainly seems more likely, but would it be too much to ask for Obama to address marriage (DOMA), bullying AND workplace discrimination (ENDA)?
In any case, you can take in the SOTU and wash it down with a few $2 Skyy Vodkas at the Brick, where Stonewall Democrats is hosting a watch party. From Facebook:
Come join Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and hear President Obama give the State of the Union address.
Social hour 7pm to 8pm
State of the Union 8pm
The Brick will show the address on their super large screen and just for SDD $2 Skyy Vodka drinks!
Come one and bring a friend or 2 or 10!

On Friday October 4, 2013, Public Health Officials reported that one adult from the Willits area is hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis of Meningococcemia.
Public Health nurses have contacted those persons thought to be in close contact with this individual and have provided them with information on symptoms and preventative treatment. Persons who have had close contact with this individual are being treated with antibiotics which significantly reduce the risk of becoming ill.
Meningococcemia is caused by a bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis. The bacteria frequently lives in a person's upper respiratory tract without causing visible signs of illness. Meningococcemia is usually spread through close contact. The bacteria are present in the saliva and mucous of the one who has the disease and can be passed on to one who has direct contact with the oral or nasal excretions (coughing, sneezing or kissing) of the infected person. However, the bacteria can only survive very briefly outside of the body so it is unlikely to be passed through the handling of objects.
The incubation period of meningococcemia lasts from 2-10 days. The disease occurs mainly in children, but may also occur among adults, especially those in overcrowded spaces. Cases are usually contained among members of a household who have close contact with each other.
Symptoms include irritability, fever, headache, sensitivity to light, altered consciousness and rash with red or purple spots on the abdomen and extremities.
A pre-exposure bacterial meningitis vaccine is available for persons from 11 years to 55 years of age. If you have questions regarding your exposure of meningitis contact Public Health Services at 472-2600.
Public Health Services extend thanks to health partners for their quick response to this case: Howard Memorial Hospital and Baechtel Creek Clinic.
For more information see section on Meningococcemia on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website http://www.cdc.gov/meningitis/about/faq.html#b

TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Winchester primary school head teacher who took his own life.
Matt O'Brien, who taught at John Keble Primary School in Hursley and Nightingale in Eastleigh, died at his home from helium poisoning at the end of March, an inquest heard.
The 47-year-old was found at his home at Winchester Road, Alresford by his wife, Caroline, after she returned home from a friend's party.
In a witness statement, which was read aloud during the hearing, his wife said during their early years together Mr O'Brien was very supportive.
She said: "He was a very charming man. All persons who knew him were very fond of him."
The couple married in 2007 and, soon after, Mr O'Brien became head teacher at Nightingale Primary School.
However, a short time later his mother died and his wife noticed a change in his behaviour.
She said he had become obsessed with tidiness and had complained about sleep deprivation and feelings of anxiety. Despite her pleas, Mrs O'Brien said her husband refused to seek professional treatment.
"Due to his mood swings I told him to go to his doctor. He would often sleep for over 12 hours and wake up moaning of tiredness. I was really beginning to worry about his flip between positive and negative moods.
"We had three kids that kept me going but Matt would often be down and think he wasn't a good father or husband."
The day he died, Mrs O'Brien said she remembers looking at him thinking he was "skinny, gaunt with long hair" as he waived them goodbye from the driveway.
"This was the last time I saw Matt alive," she said.
She had taken the children out before returning home at 7.30pm. She put them to bed and kept herself occupied downstairs after having seen their bedroom door was closed. She said it was not uncommon for Mr O'Brien to shut himself away in the months leading to his death.
Recording a verdict of suicide, Central Hampshire Coroner Grahame Short, said: "I find that this was a deliberate and planned act. I'm sure he intended to take his own life and also that no one else was involved with his actions.
"I give you all my sympathy," he added. "It was clearly a great shock to all concerned particularly to his wife."
Mr O'Brien also leaves behind their three children Manny, Aura and Ivy.

The Ohio Machine, which begins its inaugural season in Major League Lacrosse in May 2012, announced today a trade with the 2011 MLL Champions Boston Cannons to receive the Cannons' first round MLL Collegiate Draft pick (8 th overall). In exchange, the Cannons receive the Machine's second round MLL Collegiate Draft pick (15 th overall) and sixth round MLL Expansion Draft pick (11 th overall).
The Machine had recently acquired that second round MLL Collegiate Draft pick in a trade with the Rochester Rattlers, which also brought to the Machine The Ohio State University (OSU) alums Greg Bice, Anthony Kelly and Stefan Schroder, as well as MLL veteran Brett Garber. In return, the Machine had traded their first round (1st overall) and 13th round (25th overall) MLL Expansion Draft picks and their second round (10th overall) and third round (18th overall) MLL Collegiate Draft picks to Rochester.
"This is a notable move for us because it gives us two picks in the top eight of the upcoming collegiate draft," said President and GM John Algie. "We have the opportunity to select two of the next great MLL stars who can be impact players for us in seasons to come."
The Machine will have more opportunities to acquire players during the MLL Expansion Draft on December 7, the MLL SupplementalDraft on December 14 and the MLL Collegiate Draft on January 13.

text: The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will hold a meeting on September 18, 2002 in Boston, Mass. to gather input for its new strategic plan, which will be a guide for NOAA scientific and research efforts in years to come. The program is open to the public and will be held at the Hilton Logan Airport, 85 Terminal Road, 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is the third of six public meetings to be conducted nationwide by the federal science agency over the next 60 days. Announcing the commencement of a new strategic planning process, retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator stated, "We intend to build a document that will allow the agency, through working with its constituents, to be more effective and responsive to the nation's needs now and into the future." In its final form, expected to be released in March 2003, the plan will provide a comprehensive blueprint to guide the $3.4 billion federal science agency and will include a flexible, rolling horizon as opposed to a fixed time span. NOAA's current five year strategic plan was originally developed in 1993 and revised in 1998. The goals and actions contained in the new plan will also incorporate recommendations previously developed by an internal program review team. These recommendations seek to improve integration across the agency, increase efficiency, promote increased responsiveness to customer needs, and support President Bush's Management Agenda. The recommendations are located at: http://node3.hpcc.noaa.gov/internal/. Lautenbacher has assigned Timothy R.E. Keeney, deputy assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere, to lead the planning process. "The creation of an effective strategic plan is a significant management tool," Keeney said. "Gathering comments from the vast array of NOAA customers is a vital first step in this demanding course of action. I encourage anyone with an interest in NOAA programs to participate in these meetings as this input will be key to NOAA's future direction." The strategic planning process entails a rigorous schedule of constituent meetings in the following cities in addition to Boston: Seattle, Wash. conducted on August 27, 2002; New Orleans, La. conducted on September 5, 2002; Washington, D.C. on September 23, 2002; Boulder, Colo. on September 26, 2002, and Cleveland, Ohio on October 16, 2002. It will continue with the development of a draft plan available for public review and comment in early December. Information about the strategic planning process is available at http://www.osp.noaa.gov. Results from each constituent meeting will be posted at this site, and the public can make comments directly via the Internet.
