At 24, she was stabbed 63 times by her husband and left for dead.
It was a miracle she survived.
The wounds, now healed on the outside, left Judit "Rachel" Salas scarred on the inside — a constant reminder of the trauma she suffered June 14, 2010.
At approximately 7:45 p.m. that evening at their home in Eastlake, Salas's then husband Brian Rolstad became extremely angry, grabbed a kitchen knife and began stabbing Salas over and over. Her two young sons watched as their mother curled up into the fetal position and begged repeatedly for him to stop.
Their boys were 13 months and 3 years old at the time. Salas's daughter was not at home.
Salas said during the assault, she faded in and out of consciousness and when he finally stopped, saw him wash off the knife, clean himself up and walk out the door.
Two years later, her story remains a powerful one she hopes can influence others in domestic violence relationships.
Last week, at an event held by the Chula Vista Police Department, Salas recalled the details of the evening, her battle to survive for her three children and the constant fight to maintain some kind of normal.
"He left me for dead," Salas said last week. "Through the grace of God I survived."
Salas lost most of her blood but was able to stagger outside, where she collapsed on the front lawn.
"I was completely lifeless on the ground," she recalled. "I couldn't move but I could hear. It was hard to think and breathe."
It was Chula Vista Elementary School teacher and neighbor Melissa Blum who found Salas fighting for her life.
Blum, 52, who lives two blocks away but had never met or seen Salas before, was returning home from the movies with her son and daughter when, she said, as she turned the corner, she saw a woman lying on the ground.
The family parked immediately, got out of the car and ran over to Salas.
"She had blood all over her arms," Blum recalled.
Blum said Salas's older son was standing next to her.
"He was telling us how Brian did it," Blum said.
Blum called 911.
"She was conscious and very upset," Blum said. "We talked to her and got her name. We held her hand. I told her to stay with us."
Blum said the incident was traumatic enough for her family to go to counseling.
"I've had anxiety … like PTSD," she said. However, Blum said she is better today.
"It's a good step for me to move on," she said last week. "To see her (Salas) and how she's doing and her family. It's healing for all of us. She's (like) a miracle."
Salas said the sound of Blum's voice was heavenly.
"When I heard her voice, it was a feeling of everything is going to be OK," she said.
Salas said her road to recovery has been long and it's not over yet.
"I have been through tremendous emotional and physical pain," she said. "…I still don't have a normal day. I have a lot of pain all over my body."
Salas was hospitalized for two and a half weeks, suffering a lacerated liver, two punctured lungs and severed nerves in her arms.
After recounting her story, Salas thanked neighbors, friends, family members and emergency personnel for their help and support — most of whom she hadn't seen since the incident.
She first thanked God for the angels she said he sent her that day, describing neighbors and emergency personnel. She then hugged each person individually.
"I'd like to thank all the trauma doctors and nurses who literally put me back together, even though I was at the brink of death," Salas said.
Her gratitude went on to include several churches for their prayers and home-cooked meals, the plastic surgeons who reconstructed her ear, face and arm, staff from South Bay Community Services and her friends and family.
"Thank you for supporting me and never giving up," she told them.
Despite the harrowing experience, Salas said she believes everything happens for a reason and had a message for victims.
"You don't have to go through this," Salas said. "There is hope and things can get better."
Chula Vista fire fighter and medic Mike Garcia, who was on scene the evening Salas was attacked, introduced himself last week, saying he was happy to see her in good health.
"This is closure for us (emergency personnel) too," Garcia said. "We don't usually get a chance to find out what happens (to the victims)."
In February, Superior Court Judge Esteban Hernandez sentenced Rolstad to 18 years and eight months, although Salas asked the judge to extend his time to 63 years, representing the number of stabs he inflicted on her.

When I first heard of this sponsored opportunity to work with ConsumerCrafts.com to do a random craft of kindness for someone, I knew exactly who Bear and I could make something for. We had a wonderful lady at our church named Joanie who was such a blessing in Bear's life. Joanie handed out cookies after worship service, taught Sunday School, and served our church in so many other ways. Bear looked forward to seeing her in the office when I dropped him off at preschool on Mondays. Joanie always seemed to get such a kick out of Bear and he just loved to make her smile. So I thought that we could make a pretty Christmas wreath for her.
Notice I said all of that in past tense? As we were in mid-process of making the wreath, sweet Joanie passed away, leaving a hole in our church family. Bear is 5 years old and is remarkably accepting of all of this, with no questions. Based on what we've spoke of before, he understands that we are given perfectly functioning bodies in Heaven. While, the sadness of Joanie's passing, could be registered on his face, his first comment was, "Well, at least she gets to meet Jesus and doesn't need her wheelchair anymore." Oh, the simple and deep faith of childhood...
So what to do with the wreath? We'll instead be giving it to one of Joanie's friends who works at our church. Funny enough, we had thought the "Peace" message of the wreath would be a great way to tie into the whole "sleep in heavenly peace" part of Silent Night. Turns out, the message of peace the wreath shares means much, much more than that.
Now, that I'm a little teary, I should probably share how we made this lovely wreath.... We got all of the supplies below from ConsumerCrafts.com for less than $20.What we used
styrofoam wreath form
burlap ribbon
wooden peace sign
wooden stars
floral bead sprays
silver permanent marker
silver glitter glue
hot glue gun
craft glue
How we made it
Bear colored the peace sign and some of the wooden stars using a silver permanent marker.
We painted the Styrofoam wreath form tan to prevent any of the white from showing through from underneath the burlap ribbon.
Then came the wrapping of the Styrofoam wreath form. {Sorry I didn't get any pictures of this, it's a two-handed job}. To keep the end piece of burlap attached to the wreath form, I hot-glued it. I wrapped it tightly while Bear handed me the bundle of wrap through the hoop over and over and over.
The felt flowers were a momma craft. I made them using a spiral cut. As I rolled them, I kept a line of craft glue going so that they wouldn't come apart on me. After all of the felt flowers had dried, we were able to arrange them. Before they were hot glued down, I wedged the bead sprays underneath a piece of burlap and hot glued them in place.
The final product
I'm really happy with how it turned out and I hope that our new recipient loves it just as much as Joanie would have. Sending prayers for all of you who are hurting and struggling for peace.

Bouquet Restaurant and Wine Bar Ratings and Reviews
Everything was wonderful. We did the tasting menu. One of the guests in our party is vegan and they even prepared a fantastic vegan tasting for them. Our server, Tara, was very kind and attentive. We were impressed with the bourbon selection, which Austin was great at walking us through and helping us make a selection. Can't wait to go back!
Bouquet was a favorite of ours for quite some time after it opened. Because of the new choices to explore in Cincinnati, we hadn't been to Bouquet in a couple of years. Unfortunately, it seems that they're coasting on past successes.
The server, who did a decent job, informed us that the menu had been "totally revamped" several times since we were there last. Bouquet, previously, was known for both elegant preparations and interesting flavors. Both seem to have changed. I ordered the "Off the Hook" fish, which was mahi. My filet was extremely dry, as if it had sat under a heat lamp for a long time. My wife's "seafood saute" was a glorified version of shrimp fried rice. Both dishes were *very* salty -- in addition to lacking any of the nuanced flavors we were used to.
Truth be told, we should have sent both entrees back -- and I take responsibility for not doing so. Just the same, the fact that *both* dishes were so oversalted made me think not much would have been different. We chose to go elsewhere for dessert and a nightcap.
Sadly, we probably will not return -- as they seem to be chasing a different sort of palate than ours.
Our service was unbelievable! We booked this for a bachelorette dinner and started with 12 ppl and it quickly every day changed because people could not make it for whatever reason. By the time we got to the restaurant we only had a group of 5. Having worked in the industry I know how much that stinks when you're expecting a large group and it doesn't end up that way, but they were so accommodating and just minimized our table and our waiter was great! We had a good time.
We went for 'burger night' so did not try other entrees, although many sounded interesting and very different. Burger was good, but one cooked medium results in a luke-warm to cool sandwich. If ordered again, I might do medium-well as I prefer my food warmer. Enjoyed the olives as an appetizer and the hint of orange and ginger was a plus. Excellent greens salad with a bright, refreshing vinaigrette. Service was very attentive but not intrusive.
This is one of our favorite spots in Covington. I have always enjoyed great service. The wine on tap is great. The menu offers many fresh original dishes.
I always recommend Bouquet to my customers looking for new dining spots in the greater Cincinnati /Northern Kentucky area.
It was great, I love the place, this is my third time there. Every time I leave with a great experience, because parking is little bit confusing in that area one of Bouquet staff accompanied me outside to make sure that I parked at the right spot. Great place for any occasion. Thank you for your fine details.
Located on Covington's Mainstrasse providing romantic dining experience but with a business casual comfort. Pretty extensive Bourbon/Rye list of over 100 whiskies ranging from rank and file $8 pours up to $68 for a Elijah Craig 23 year-old (no pappy, but had Weller 12 for $28 and Elmer T Lee for $20 pours). Easy walk from Holiday Inn Express or other riverfront hotels during day, but probably would take an uber or cab back after dark. The staff was wonderful and the food excellent. Entrees ran around $30. Definitely would return.
Highly recommend the motherboard! It was delicious and fun coming up with different combinations with the ingredients! They can make any dish vegan or vegetarian and will sub the meat for tofu! They were super busy and it took awhile for our tasting menu items to come out but our server, Matt, was wonderful at communicating that to us and making sure we were fine with it.
An absolutely stellar dining experience! The staff went overboard to be helpful and accommodating from the moment we entered the door (my wife just had foot surgery and cannot handle steps). They worked around that with ingenuity and cheerful graciousness, found a perfect spot to accommodate her knee scooter, and proceeded to provide us an outstanding dining experience from beginning to end.
My wife chose the September Chef's Tasting Menu, and it was superb - pasta course of house-made spaghetti was to die for. I selected the Kentucky Strip Steak - it was right up there among the best ever. It was too big to finish off (our waiter correctly predicted that, along with its excellence). We brought it home with us, and when cut into strips and gently reheated, it had not lost a thing as accompaniment for morning eggs!
Truly a serendipitous choice for a delightful evening of dining. And to top it all off, the city started a fireworks extravaganza just as we were leaving. Perfect capstone!
Saw this on Open Table and noticed it was near my hotel. I thought I'd give it a try. Have to say, I was impressed with the food (had the seafood special, salmon, which was delicious), along with the house salad (simple greens). Also tried the peanut butter pie, which was delicious, but almost too much for one person.
They boast their wines, and true to form, they have plenty to choose from, however, the single glass selection was somewhat limited. I'll have to go back when I'm not dining solo so i can pick a nice bottle.
Food and service was great. The waitress took time to explain all the specials and items on the menu, and was patient with our large group. Plates were artistically presented and very tasty. Great combination of textures and flavors! Tasting menu was awesome. Portions were sized right and did leave feeling stuffed.

Authorities said they found the body of a missing boater whose small vessel capsized off Haulover Inlet early Monday, officials said.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said 21-year-old Angel Bello was found Monday afternoon on the ocean floor near where his boat had capsized earlier, around 5:30 a.m.
Bello and Jonathan Rodriguez were aboard the boat at the time and Rodriguez managed to make it to shore and call for help, Pino said.
"You go out there now and it's a challenge to swim to shore. Imagine at night. Panic starts to set in. It's a very challenging thing to try to swim to shore," Pino said.
The man who made it to shore told authorities he and Bello were out fishing early when a wave hit the boat, causing Bello to fall overboard, Pino said.
"It's very dangerous and unfortunately these two individuals, perhaps it was experience, perhaps it was the vessel was just too small, but they ended up in the water, one made it, the other did not," Pino said.
The boater who made it ashore was being questioned by investigators and authorities are still investigating the incident, Pino said.
"But once we knew an exact location and put the divers in the water, we found him. If we don't have that, it's searching for a needle in a haystack," Pino said.

Powerwave Technologies Launches New Multiband and Wideband Antennas
Now available in Europe and North America, the latest families of antennas deliver operators increased granular control and cost advantages due to spectrum licensing
Powerwave Technologies has announced a series of multiband and wideband antennas, available to service providers throughout Europe and North America.
The series of multiband solutions include five families of antennas that help operators gain granular control. Details on each product are as follows:
• Quadruple Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Supports 790-960 MHz, 2 arrays 1710-2170 MHz and 2.5-2.69 GHz systems for European markets. The three antennas in this family allow network operators to reuse existing site infrastructure by exchanging and upgrading existing dual or tri band antennas, without compromising network performance.
• Triple Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Supports 709-960 MHz, 1710-2170 MHz and 2.5-2.69 GHz systems for European markets. The three antennas in this family enable operators to maintain the same outer dimensions as already deployed multiband antennas, decreasing the variable downtilt capability and reducing the CAPEX spend for 2600MHx upgrades.
• Dual Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Combines 1710-2170 MHz and 2.5-2.69 GHz systems for European markets. This family enables mechanical width reduction down to 9", allowing operators to reuse existing site infrastructure without compromising current network coverage.
• Dual Broadband Antenna Family 45°: Combines 698-894 MHz and 1710-2170 MHz systems for North American markets.
• Single Broadband Antenna Family 45°: Supports 698-894 MHz systems for North American markets.
The aforementioned dual and single broadband antenna families include patented Powerwave ACP radiator technology that enables a mechanical package only 440mm wide. Ideal for canyon and track coverage at low band application, and essential for high capacity 6-sector site applications, these antennas leverage horizontal stacked ACP radiators, delivering a higher front-to-side ratio, which keeps sector interference low.
"Given the spectrum crunch, carriers worldwide are grappling with how to best deploy 4G networks, while supporting legacy customers at the same time," said Sarvesh Sharma, vice president of global site solutions at Powerwave. "Our new family of antennas literally covers the entire spectrum needs of carriers, supporting all the new LTE deployment frequencies, as well as 2G / 3G network protocols. This allows carriers to optimize their existing network infrastructure, which improves the end user wireless experience."
Powerwave also launched a family of 65° single and dual ultra wideband antennas, which are scheduled to be generally available in Q2, 2012. The 65° family supports 1710 to 2690 MHz systems and is compatible with the company's external remote electrical down-tilt (RET) modules. Patented Powerwave radiator technology coupled with antenna electric down-tilt (AEDT) technology results in improved performance across the entire frequency range. Ideal for consolidated site scenarios, the wideband antenna future-proofs operators' networks at a lower cost and enables true performance over the entire frequency range – a crucial element in today's decreased spectrum licensing.

Natural hair is naturally prone to dryness and requires special care to maintain overall healthiness.
For moisture, the best treatment for a pre-shampoo treatment and daily moisturizer is an Organic Virgin coconut oil. The reason why this oil is so special is because it actually penetrates the hair shaft to moisturize the hair from the inside out. How to use Organic coconut oil as a pre-shampoo:
-Apply to scalp and hair
-Cover with a plastic cap
-Leave on hair for 30 minutes without heat (or 15 minutes with heat)
-Then rinse, shampoo, and condition as usual.
If you want to use a water-based moisturizer instead of Organic coconut oil, you can use any light oil moisturizer following the application of an water based moisturizer to seal moisture in the shaft.
Gentle shampoos and regular treatments are essential.
Sulfates are very harsh and may strip and dry out your hair. These should only be contained in your clarifying shampoo (which you should use only once per month at the most, followed by a protein treatment)
-Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
-Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
-TEA Laureth Sulfate
-TEA Lauryl Sulfate
-Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Protein treatments will help you if you any kind breakage. A protein treatment should be used every week until your breakage under control. You can make your own protein treatment at home by adding an egg to your regular conditioner, then mixing it into your hair and then cover with a plastic cap for 1 hour. (NO HEAT WITH EGG BECAUSE THE HEAT WILL COOK THE EGG) This treatment should work with 1-2 treatments. Conditioner protein product, you should apply it to your hair, cover with a plastic cap go under a heated dryer with a plastic cap for 10-15 minutes. This will improve your hair strength and stop breakage within a few treatment.
Once the condition of your hair has improved, then you can start to alternate treatments. So you can begin a regimen! yeahhhhh:
1. Wash with a gentle shampoo
2. Follow with a deep conditioner
3. Finish with a moisture treatment
4. Style
1. Pre-shampoo shampoo treatment
2. Follow with a gentle shampoo
3. Follow with a deep conditioner
4. Finish with a moisture treatment
5. Style
1. Wash with a clarifying shampoo
2. Follow with a protein treatment
3. Finish with a moisture treatment
4. Style

Senator Marchione seeks nominees for "Women of Distinction" Program
For Immediate Release: March 8, 2013
Contact: Joshua Fitzpatrick, (518) 455-2381, firstname.lastname@example.com
Senator Marchione provides nomination form for Senate's "Women of Distinction" Program, asks applicants to return submissions by March 25, will honor all nominees during special local ceremony in May
Are you a "woman of distinction?" Do you know – and wish to recommend – someone special for consideration as part of the New York State Senate's prestigious "Women of Distinction" Program for 2013? If the answer to either question was "yes," then State Senator Kathleen A. Marchione (R,C-Halfmoon) wants to hear from you by Monday, March 25!
In observance of March as "Women's History Month," Senator Marchione today announced that she is seeking nominations from across the 43rd Senate District for the State Senate's popular and prestigious Women of Distinction Program. Women living in the 43rd Senate District – which includes parts of Rensselaer, Saratoga and Washington Counties, and all of Columbia County – are eligible for nomination. A special advisory panel of local women will assist Senator Marchione in reviewing nominations for the 43rd Senate District. The deadline for entry in the Women of Distinction Program is March 25.
All of Senator Marchione's Women of Distinction nominees will receive an official Senate Certificate and have their many achievements publicly recognized during a special local ceremony being held in May. In addition, all nominees will have their picture and biographical information included as part of a keepsake local commemorative program. One applicant from the 43rd Senate District will ultimately be selected by Senate Marchione and the advisory panel to be part of the Senate's Women of Distinction for 2013 and honored during a public ceremony held in Albany on May 7. One nominee from each Senate District will be included in the Senate's statewide Women of Distinction printed program, website and public gallery.
The advisory panel assisting Senator Marchione in reviewing Women of Distinction nominees for the 43rd Senate District includes local educators, artists and business owners, all of whom have served their communities as leaders and volunteers. The panel includes:
· Linda Sharpe of Germantown, New York: As a dedicated, lifelong educator that has served children for 35 years, Ms. Sharpe served on the Recruit and Retain Committee in Granville County, NC. Additionally, while living in Elkhart, IN, she started a local version of the popular "Mom' Morning Out" program. Ms. Sharpe also worked as a Credit Manager for a multi-million dollar business, in addition to substitute teaching. Ms. Sharpe's literacy background is challenged as a volunteer who works with college students helping to improve their writing skills and she is a co-partner of Letters 'N More, a small business that she and her husband established, and also the Sole Proprietor of a second small business, upcycled by lin;

Ms. Reynolds has exhibited her own works in acrylic, oil and silkscreen at various locations throughout the Capital District. Formerly, she owned and operated Gallery on the Hudson in Schuylerville. Her community activities have been extensive, dating back to the early 1980's when she founded, and was the first President of, Schuylerville Community Theatre and was an early director of Adirondack Children's Theatre. Ms. Reynolds has volunteered at the Schuyler House and is a volunteer for New Covenant Community Church in Greenwich. Presently, she is working in her private art studio in preparation for future exhibitions; and

Ms. Lobdell is the Principal Broker, and also the owner, of a real estate agency located in Rensselaer County with 19 years of experience in this capacity, in addition to possessing 13 years experience as a New York State Licensed Broker. For the past 14 years, she has had the privilege and pleasure of managing volunteer ministries and enjoys spending time with her husband of 24 years and their three newly adopted children.
"Every woman is a woman of distinction and deserves to have her life story and personal achievements recognized, honored and appreciated. The Women of Distinction Program I am sponsoring does exactly that, which is why I am pro-actively seeking nominees from throughout our 43rd Senate District to be part of this effort and have their lives, their work and their accomplishments commemorated," said Senator Marchione who in 2010 was named a Senate Woman of Distinction.
"Women are leading in public office and serving their communities, state and nation. Women are running Fortune 500 companies, starting small businesses and launching new private sector breakthroughs. Women are teaching students, enriching our schools and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Women are creating new works of art that challenge, question and inspire. They are our mothers and grandmothers, sisters and daughters; every woman is a person of distinction making our world a better place. These are the women – the leaders, the achievers, the dreamers, the sources of inspiration and strength – that I seek to honor through my sponsorship of the Women of Distinction Program for 2013," Senator Marchione concluded.
The deadline for entry as a nominee for inclusion in Senator Marchione's Women of Distinction Program for 2013 is Monday, March 25.

BEE CREEK (Brazos County). Bee Creek rises in the southwestern section of the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Brazos County (at 30°37' N, 96°20' W), and runs east for 5½ miles to join Carters Creek (at 30°37' N, 96°16' W). The stream runs through what became, in the 1970s and 1980s, a heavily populated residential area of southwest College Station. Before development, the flat to rolling area along the streambed was vegetated by grasses and hardwood and pine forest. The soils are shallow to deep sandy and clay loams. Bee Creek has become synonymous with recreation in College Station, since one of the city's largest parks is named for it.

Legal Question in Insurance Law in Kansas
Family Settlement Agreement
My mother was killed in a car accident that my step father was driving and he was at fault. He now wants us(3 adult children) to sign a Family Settlement Agreement. It says his insurance company has agreed to pay $25,000 for a full and complete release of claims and another $25,000 as underinsured motorist benefits for the full and complete release of any claims against his insurance company. He then would like us to sign that he would recieve all of this $50,000 leaving us nothing. He says that he can only recieve this money if we sue him and sign this agreement. Is this leagal to do or is this insurance fraud? Would I be suing him for wrongful death and since he is family is this legal?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Family Settlement Agreement
Although the procedure described by your step-father may be technically proper, it is unusual and suspicious to say the least. Generally the proceeds of a death claim go to the heirs at law, but not one who was at fault in causing the death.
You should consult a lawyer as soon as you can. Feel free to call me or Jeff Heinrichs at (800) 962-5363.

Henry Cecil's Chachamaidee lifted Group One honours at Leopardstown as Duntle lost the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes in the stewards' room.
Winner of the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and again in the Desmond Stakes at this track last month, Wayne Lordan had to sit and suffer on the David Wachman-trained Duntle waiting for the gaps to come.
Emulous had just got on top of long-time leader Laugh Out Loud but was mown down late by Duntle (7-2) once she got in the clear, although there was some scrimmaging in the process of her doing so.
Chachamaidee (11-2) was the other to finish with a rattle on the outside under Tom Queally, getting a bump on the way as a result of what the stewards deemed was Duntle's manoeuvre, but the Wachman filly got the verdict on the line.
However, what turned into a lengthy stewards' inquiry was immediately called and just before the next race it was announced the placings had been reversed.
Second in the Windsor Forest at Royal Ascot and winner of the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, Chachamaidee's last start had seen her beaten less than two lengths in the Celebration Mile.
Last season she was second to Sahpresa in the Group One Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.
Queally said: "You're always biased towards your own animal. I felt quite strongly though and expressed my views (to the stewards).
"It's not the way you like to win but it was a well-deserved win for Chachamaidee.
"It wasn't an easy decision for anyone (the stewards) but I think they've got it right here.
"I didn't know if I'd won or not (on the line) - it was that tight.
"I've spoken to Sir Henry's wife, Jane, they are all delighted and the (Group One) flag is flying at Warren Place."
Battle Of Marengo (9-10 favourite) looks set for better things after making all in style to claim the ICON Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes for Aidan O'Brien in the hands of his son, Joseph.
A very easy winner of a Gowran maiden last month, the Galileo colt stepped up to Listed company with ease, despite a slipped saddle, never being asked a serious question in holding the running-on Jim Bolger newcomer Trading Leather in what looked a good race.
O'Brien senior said: "He'll step up now and we could look at something like the Beresford or the Racing Post (Trophy).
"He could be a Derby horse in time, but that's still a long way away."
Stan James went 16-1 about his Investec Derby claims with Paddy Power 25-1.
Big Break is another in the picture for a step up in class after impressing in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden.
Third on her debut when sent off favourite at Galway, the Dermot Weld-trained full-sister to Famous Name showed the benefit of that experience, going clear at the top of the straight and never looking in danger thereafter.
Weld said of the 9-10 winner, who got a 25-1 quote for the 1000 Guineas from Stan James: "Things didn't go her way at Galway first time out but she showed just how good she is today.
"If things go to plan I feel she may progress into an English 1000 Guineas prospect."
Alla Speranza (10-1) finished best of all on the outside to claim the KPMG Enterprise Stakes for Bolger and jockey Kevin Manning.
Bolger said: "I'm very happy now to have won a race of that calibre with her. She's been knocking on the door so she's entitled to get her head in front.
"She put up a good performance in the English 1000 Guineas but maybe we ran her back a bit soon after that and then it took her a while to get over it.
"She's been in good form now for the last couple of weeks. The ground suits her fine."

World markets seen as biggest threat to growth
The biggest challenge to China's economic growth next year will be shaky world markets, rather than domestic factors, say economists.
The external threats to the nation's economy are already evident in the collapse in the value of the US dollar as a result of the US administration's second-round quantitative easing (QE2) measures, which is leading to higher import prices of major raw materials, they say.
Like all other emerging-market economies, China will have to deal with rising import prices, the economists said during discussions yesterday at an annual financial conference organised by Caijing magazine.
Ma Jun, Deutsche Bank's chief economist for China, said raising the value of the yuan to reduce the impact of rising international prices on the domestic market was becoming an increasingly viable policy option.
Ma said inflation could easily cause wild fluctuations in a country's development, with many social complications. It could also exact heavy economic and social costs. He said Beijing might increase the value of the yuan and raise interest rates at the same time to curb domestic inflation.
Ma told the conference he believed that the central government would try to restrict the issue of new bank loans to below 6.5 trillion yuan (HK$7.58 trillion) next year, rather than the 7 or 7.5 trillion yuan some financial analysts predicted.
Cao Yuanzheng, chief economist at BOC International, agreed and said China is 'fully capable of bearing a 3-5 per cent rise in the yuan-US dollar rate, although whether or not the government wants to accept that change is another matter'.
But he believes an increasingly flexible yuan exchange rate will be unavoidable as new uncertainties clouded the outlook in both Europe and North America.
Ha Jiming, managing director of Goldman Sachs investment banking division (Hong Kong), said a 5 or 6 per cent rise in the value of the yuan against the US dollar was likely as a means of offsetting the impact of key commodity price rises.
Liu Shijin, Vice-Minister of the State Council Development Research Centre, listed imported inflation as one of the two major uncertainties facing the country's economy in 2011.
He said the jump in inflation in October and November, driven mainly by increased prices of farm products, had surprised the central government.
But Liu said the government was probably prepared for international crude oil prices of more than US$100 per barrel in 2011.
Liu said the other major uncertainty facing the economy was the central government's ability to control local governments' investment ambitions.
Jonathan Anderson, managing director and senior global emerging markets economist for UBS Investment Bank, said that even during the global crisis, emerging market economies continued to outperform the developed economies.
The gap between the emerging market economies and developed economies has remained as wide as before the crisis, he said.
So in the next five to 10 years, emerging market economies will continue to attract investors from around the world.
Most economists who spoke at the conference said they expected that China would achieve GDP growth of at least 9 per cent next year from this year, with Ha predicting up to 10 per cent growth.
Consumer price inflation would be at its worst in the first or second quarters and range between 5 and 6 per cent year on year.
Most other emerging market economies faced inflation that could reach double digits, they said.
Risk factors
Inflation is seen as a major threat to economic growth
Most economists at the conference expected China's economy to grow next year by at least: 9%
Two economists expected Beijing to let the yuan rise in value against the US dollar by about: 5%

Pavano pleased with debut
Pavano pleased with debut
For those who have watched and waited over the past 1 1/2 years while the oft-injured right-hander has struggled to maintain his health and return to the Major Leagues, Sunday's scenario seemed quite unsettling.
Maybe this is where things begin to turn around for the 31-year-old right-hander.
For starters, the player being checked out was not Pavano -- it was left fielder Jose Tabata, who attempted a diving catch and was not injured. Manager Joe Torre called Pavano's two-inning appearance against the Phillies at Bright House Networks Field "Step 1," and every big event has to begin somewhere.
"Sometimes, you're out there just trying to survive instead of trying to win the battle," Pavano said. "I've definitely dealt with both those emotions. It's not always going to be perfect, it's not always going to be in your favor. But what I've dealt with in the past, hopefully, I can keep that behind me."
Pavano has not appeared in a Major League game since June 27, 2005, missing all of last season with numerous ailments.
The laundry list of Pavano's injuries reads like a preschooler's book on anatomy: shoulder, back, buttocks, elbow and ribs. Sunday presented an opportunity to put the medical report behind him for at least one afternoon, as he allowed one run and two hits in a 33-pitch (16 for strikes) effort against Philadelphia.
"I just wanted to go out there and pitch and have fun again," Pavano said.
Pavano said that his consistency in the strike zone could have been better, but all things considered, he was pleased. His fastball had good downward plane, catcher Wil Nieves said, and Pavano's slider was darting around the zone.
"He looked great," Nieves said. "He looked like he's been pitching for a while. I liked what I saw, and I know he's going to get better. I'm going to keep praying for him to stay healthy all year."
Though Pavano fell behind in the count early and issued two walks, he induced the always-dangerous Ryan Howard to ground out, ending the first inning. The run Pavano allowed in the second inning came on an Aaron Rowand fielder's choice, which Pavano remarked was the double-play ball he coveted, just too slowly hit.
"I thought I fell into a good groove," Pavano said. "My consistency can only get better."
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Pavano attempted to downplay the importance of his Spring Training, even though he admitted earlier in the week to being "excited" for the upcoming appearance.
His left foot, bruised by an Alberto Gonzalez line drive during batting practice drills, has healed and showed no ill effects Sunday.
But even Pavano was surprised by how good he felt in the start. He pulled pitching coach Ron Guidry aside and spoke about a little extra bounce in his step for this effort; later, Pavano admitted to feeling some additional adrenaline coursing through his body as he threw his first pitch -- a called strike to Jimmy Rollins.
"I didn't know it until I woke up, but I was definitely antsy and anxious," Pavano said. "I thought that was all positive. I was just excited get out there, get the season started and make those first couple of pitches. I definitely had some extra energy."
He also had a few items to continue working on. Nieves needed to remind Pavano to keep his shoulder closed and maintain his mechanics, and Pavano said he had to remain conscious of holding the ball and slowing the game down.
It was a long way from Game 4 of the 2003 World Series. Even so, Torre said he had no doubts that Pavano could return to the form that prompted the Yankees to issue him a four-year, $39.95 million contract after the 2004 season.
"He's a young man and he's healthy," Torre said. "But again, he hasn't competed in a couple of years. It's still going to take him a little time to get that feeling."
Two innings of Grapefruit League work don't exactly cement Pavano's place on the Opening Day roster, but they indicate progress.
Now, Pavano can at least turn the clock ahead to his next start. He fits into a regular five-man rotation, the words "bullpen session" no longer hold a negative connotation, and that's good enough.
"He's one of the guys, and I think that's the most important thing," Torre said. "He's here, and he's not getting any sort of special treatment or program. You hand him the ball with no restrictions."
It's been a while since the Yankees could state that about Pavano. They can only hope they'll never have to question it again.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Illinois Police Association Inc, Elmwood Park, IL, USA
Contacted by telephone to donate to the Illinois Police Association, said yes, but knew I would research first. When the letter arrived a statement on the back side said "a large portion of the gross proceeds raised goes to defray the cost of this appeal". Looking at the 990 from last year, it appears that 84% of the money taken in goes to the fundraisers. Sorry, I do not support these overpaid fundraisers!

Effectiveness of Massachusetts' comprehensive tobacco control program
While Massachusetts's comprehensive programme of excise taxes, smoking bans and tobacco control has been argued to have significantly lowered cigarette consumption, this is the first study to examine the comprehensive nature of its programme and to control for factors other than tobacco programmes themselves while examining effects on taxed cigarette sales. Examination indicates strong support for the hypotheses that taxed sales in Massachusetts declined due to price increases, changes in income and smuggling. There is very limited support for the hypothesis that tobacco control spending or smoking bans contributed to falling cigarette sales. Possibilities are discussed that may explain why this study does not support most previous studies. These include failure to control for numerous factors that probably also influenced sales, that effects of tobacco control programmes might differ between states and that previous studies examined shorter time periods. It is hoped that this article will foster further examination of these issues so that we can better understand effectiveness of comprehensive tobacco control programmes when formulating recommendations about how governments should allocate their scarce resources towards such programmes.

Notice he never mentioned the visit of the Pope to the USA who standing under 'In God We Trust' was on display to the whole of the USA (and the World) as that man of sin-the Antichrist.
The SPIRITUAL decline of evangelicals is what is most eye opening!
If your little fellowship never or rarely mentions or warns of Popery? If your church or denomination never even mentioned the Papal visit to the USA, then maybe you should also be disturbed. A visit from one who Spurgeon said: It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey=antichrist_24

Lookout-the Antichrist is about
There is always hope. But today many Christians are taking Jesus advice and looking closely at the "signs of the times" He was rebuking the Pharisees at the time but today we have a very different scenario as Christians in front of us. The secular and unsaved nation surrounding us whether in America or any other western country are rejecting Christian moral standards and the Bible doctrines and teaching. The church itself is growing steadily smaller and less biblical in doctrines. We realistically must deal with these "signs" of our times and ask relevant questions about our life and where the world is going.
Is this the end? Well no certainly not yet, however it is the end of a certain societal mind set previously held in the western nations. Christian and Bible influences were held in the nations in places which were not strictly ecclesiastical. Places where politicians met for example held a prayer at the beginning of their proceedings. They do not acknowledge the Lord and the Bible quite so eagerly today - in fact we observe a rejection of all things Christian to embrace so called multi-faith???

Tony sounds like he has read too much 'Eric Phelps' and spends 24/7 on conspiracy websites.
The emphasis was on speak not evil one of another...which of course would speak to the heart of all 'brethren' and was meant to show that Tony, if he claims to be a brother, then he has a major problem evidenced by his frequent rants and personal attacks.
Tony doesn't appear to evidence a new heart and it is 'by their fruits ye shall know them'. If righteous judgement is to be by the content of his posts...he condemns himself.

What was that all about TLC and from a 'professing' Christian
Did Tony take up Michael H's invitation to join him street preaching?
Communism/(socialism) hates Christianity. This was made obvious in Russia where they bulldozed the churches and replaced religion with "people power" However the problem as always was with the "people" who held the power!!
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
"This is a quotation from Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887:"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
Acton was preceded by William Pitt the Elder, who voiced a similar thought in a House of Lords speech in 1770:"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it; and this I know, my lords, that where laws end, tyranny begins.""
America better watch out for Obama/Liberal power.
It would seem to come from planet "Anarchy" - Where all authority is removed by stealth and insidious infestation of bureaucracy.
"Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"

Shut down or no shut down: That is the question that everyone is trying to answer in Washington. The fiscal year for the federal government ends on September 30. Currently not one of the thirteen appropriations bills that fund federal programs has been signed into law. Therefore, on October 1, 2013, without intervention of Congress between now and then, the federal government will be without funding and will shutdown. The House has passed a continuing resolution (House Joint Resolution 59) that funds the federal government through December 15th. But, including the poison pill of defunding the Affordable Care Act will keep the Senate from voting in favor of the House passed resolution. The Senate gambit is to stretch out debate on the House bill, amend the resolution stripping it of the ACA provision and shortening the funding period to November 15th. If successful in passing a "clean" CR out of the Senate, the legislation returns to the House, possibly just in time for passage to stop the shutdown. It is anyone's guess as to how the many factions of both the Democratic and Republican parties will position themselves over the next few days. Those positions will influence the strategies of both House and Senate leaders as they attempt to score political points at the expense of an operating government.
For interested policy geeks the New York Times has a graphic that describes the pathway(s) the House CR will follow in the Senate.
Compounding bill introduced in the House: The Compounding Clarity Act of 2013 (HR 3089) was introduced in the House of Representatives on September 12, 2013. The bill was sponsored by Representatives Griffith (R-VA), DeGette (D-CO) and Greene (D-TX). The legislation includes a definition of traditional compounding that requires that several conditions be met to meet the definition. The legislation was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Legislation, Senate Bill 959 impacting the compounding of drugs was introduced in the Senate earlier this year.
The International Compounding Pharmacists Association (IACP) released a statement that describes the Association's position on HR 3089.
CMMI MTM report: The Center Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have released a report on the benefit of Part D medication therapy management programs implemented in 2010 impacted beneficiary and programmatic outcomes. The report, "Medication Therapy Management in a Chronically Ill Population: Final Report August 2013" is a mixed methods analysis of several Part D plans.
"…this study investigated how Part D MTM programs in operation in 2010 affected Medicare beneficiaries' adherence, quality of prescribing, resource utilization, and cost of hospital and emergency room (ER) care."
"This study specifically focused on beneficiaries with congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and diabetes because these individuals are at high-risk for poor health outcomes and thus could benefit greatly from improved medication management. We evaluated two types of outcomes: drug therapy and resource utilization. Drug therapy outcomes were divided into: (i) adherence, (ii) quality of prescribing (the use of evidence-based medications), and (iii) drug safety (the presence of drug-drug interactions, high-risk medication use in the elderly, and disease-contraindicated medications). Resource utilization outcomes were divided into: (i) hospitalization rates and ER visits, and (ii) drug, hospitalization and ER costs."
The major findings of this research are summarized as follows:
1. MTM programs enrolled Medicare patients with complex medical conditions and high preceding drug and health resource utilization. CMRs were completed for 11-14% of MTM enrollees in the study population and these beneficiaries had more chronic conditions and higher preceding hospital and drug costs than other MTM enrollees when in the PDP, but not MA-PD, setting.
2. MTM programs improved medication adherence and quality of prescribing for CHF, COPD and diabetes patients, particularly when CMRs were provided.
3. MTM programs initially improved the safety of drugs prescribed in new enrollees (first 6 months) but these positive effects had diminished or reversed by 1 year after enrollment.
4. MTM programs decreased hospital utilization and costs in diabetes and CHF patients receiving CMRs but not in COPD patients.
5. There was substantial variation in outcomes among Part D parent organizations. The best-performing Part D organizations were able to improve medication adherence and quality of prescribing while keeping healthcare costs (including drugs) from rising.
6. MTM programs appeared to improve enrollees' adherence to drug therapies for targeted chronic medical conditions, but have smaller effects on patient adherence to therapies for non-targeted conditions.
7. Based on interview responses of high-performing Part D parent organizations, we identified the profile of an effective MTM program to include the following practices:
The report includes several recommendations for additional research.
"The existence of organizations that positively influenced medical and drug cost outcomes (including preventing expected cost growth) suggests substantial Medicare benefits may be possible from further investigations on how this was accomplished."
"The research, identification, and dissemination of any identified operational or strategic factors of MTM programs that drive these improvements could improve health outcomes for the Medicare population and positively affect Medicare beneficiary costs."
"…our analysis provides pertinent information for additional investigations on successful MTM practices including factors such as the targeting of patients with specific disease conditions and effective enrollment strategies. The investigation of MTM effects and their effective components should be further investigated, specifically for other chronic condition cohorts. Additionally, improved data detailing which specific interventions were delivered by MTM programs to Medicare beneficiaries would allow for a more refined quantitative analysis of MTM program effects by intervention. Research would further benefit from data on factors traditionally unobserved, such as the impact of organization structure, specific MTM delivery mechanisms, frequency of MTM, and TMR on health outcomes."
National ADE Prevention Strategy: A federal interagency workgroup has published a draft report outlining a national strategy for preventing adverse drug events (ADE). The "National Action Plan for Adverse Drug Event Prevention," provides compelling evidence of the need for a systems approach to ADE prevention. The report focuses on three specific therapeutic areas: anticoagulants, diabetes agents and opioids. For each focus area the report provides state statement of the problem and evidence-based prevention tools. The draft report also includes a statement for future research that "can help inform efforts to identify patients at highest risk of ADEs and the most effective ADE prevention strategies."
This recommendation for additional research aligns with a recent grant awarded to AACP member Almut Winterstein (University of Florida) from the Association of Health-System Pharmacists Foundation. Dr. Winterstein is developing a patient complexity score that can help identify patients at high risk for ADEs.
New IOM workshop reports: The Institute of Medicine has published two workshop summaries regarding study methodologies that can support and sustain a learning healthcare system. The two reports are:
VA recruiting: AACP was recently contacted by Veterans Affairs (VA) and asked to share the following information. This might be great information to share with your fourth year students!
"A new generation of Veterans now joins our Veterans of previous eras. In fact, more than 2.2 million Service men and women have been deployed to Middle Eastern combat zones. As our heroes continue to return to communities across our country–including your community–many bring with them serious medical and healthcare challenges that require unique needs and requirements for care. As a result, the importance of having the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration grows and grows.
New and growing challenges require additional highly skilled nurses, physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must recruit and maintain a workforce of healthcare professionals to deliver the best possible care to the men and women who have served our nation."

Chase Budinger said this week that had he known he wouldn't be a first-round NBA draft choice, he would have returned for his senior season at Arizona.
Ah, the gift of hindsight.
Budinger, the former La Costa Canyon High standout who was projected by most NBA draft analysts to be a first-round pick, instead tumbled into the second round last night when he was taken by the Detroit Pistons with the 44th selection overall, then traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for a future second-round pick and cash.
Players making themselves available for the draft for a second time are ineligible to return to their college team. Budinger tested the NBA waters a year ago but pulled out just before the withdrawal deadline, in part because he wasn't considered a first-round pick. He made himself available a second time in early April.
Though the majority of mock drafts had Budinger being selected in the second half of the first round, he wasn't selected until the Pistons stepped forward with the 14th pick of the second round.
Budinger was not made available for comment. The 6-foot-7 shooting forward was in line to become just the fifth San Diego County player to be selected in the draft's first round after averaging 18 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season.
Budinger might be better positioned to succeed in Houston. Prior to being selected by the Pistons, Detroit already had identified two other shooting forwards - Gonzaga's Austin Daye and Georgetown's DaJuan Summers - with the 15th pick of the first round and the fifth pick of the second round, respectively. Detroit also took a shooting forward with the ninth pick of the second round when it selected Sweden's Jonas Jerebko.
With their first-round pick having been sent to Sacramento in the deal that brought them Ron Artest this season, the Rockets, who pushed the champion Lakers to seven games in the Western Conference semifinals, used their first pick on Central Florida guard Jermaine Taylor with the second pick of the second round. Houston then acquired Real Madrid point guard Sergio Llull, acquiring the Oklahoma City Thunder pick from the Denver Nuggets.

Manufacturing grows for third straight month
May 13, 2002,
Climbing out of a long, recessionary trough, U.S. manufacturing grew for a third straight month in April — if at a somewhat slower pace than in March — signaling continued momentum in a resurgent economy.
"Though the rate has slowed, a third consecutive month of growth in the manufacturing sector is certainly encouraging," said Norbert Ore, chairman of the Institute for Supply Management's Business Survey Committee, which compiles the monthly data. "The New Orders Index lost some momentum, but it is still strong enough to drive sector growth in the next several months."
For a second straight month, the long-battered textiles industry showed signs of rallying and was one of 18 out of 20 manufacturing sectors that grew during the month, said the Institute for Supply Management, the purchasing managers' trade group.
And even though the overall Employment Index remains soft — an April reading of 46.7 fell 1.7 percent from 47.5 in March — the textiles industry is starting to hire, said Ore. The textiles, primary metals and instruments and photographic equipment sectors "appear very aggressive in hiring at this point," he said.
"The overall picture shows growth in manufacturing activity during April and a good beginning for the second quarter," said Ore. "The Purchasing Managers Index indicates a third consecutive month of consecutive growth."
On a potentially troubling note, the Prices Index — a gauge of the prices manufacturers pay for the raw materials they use — continued to rise, said Ore, "indicating pricing power in some commodities." The Prices Index climbed to a reading of 60.3, up 16.2 percent from 51.9 in March.
In a snapshot of what's happening in the manufacturing sector, the purchasing managers reported that order backlogs grew for a third straight month, but at a slower pace than in March. The April reading of 56.0, was 10.4 percent beneath the March reading of 62.5.
The New Orders Index continued to grow, but also at a slower pace, with an April reading of 59.0 coming in 9.6 percent beneath the 65.3 recorded in March.
The Production Index continued to grow and scored a reading of 58.0, up slightly, by 0.3 percent, from the March figure of 57.8.
The rate of inventory liquidation slowed slightly in April, and the Inventories Index came in at 42.9, up 4.1 percent from a March level of 41.2.
