For the protection of campus property and the members of the University community, a campus safety plan has been developed. Safety officers are responsible for parking violations, residence hall safety, and other safety concerns. When stopped by a safety officer, students must produce their student identification card and comply with all requests made by the officer.
Campus Safety Office is located in the Carriage House
Phone: 918-335-6206
Emergency Phone: 918-876-2529
Building lock up hours:
- Residence Halls: Curfew 02:00 a.m.

Although Oklahoma Wesleyan University takes reasonable precautions to ensure student safety and property protection, the responsibility still lies with the student to use common sense and request University safety assistance when necessary.
Emergency Communication System
As we all know, your safety is a top priority for OKWU. One of the most important tools in an emergency, small or large, is swift communication. OKWU has the capacity to send blast messages via text, email, or voice message to your mobile device in order to provide you with direct and timely emergency information in case of an emergency. These messages will be important to safeguard your personal safety.
ReGroup Mass Notification, the award-winning leader in emergency and mass notification systems, have joined forces with Oklahoma Wesleyan University in order to provide this service to our campus community.
The Regroup's mass notification platform will be utilized for emergency alerts as well as for other notifications helpful to students.
Q. What is OKWU emergency communications system?
A: In the event of a serious emergency, this system will contact registered students, faculty, and staff within minutes of a serious emergency.
Q. How does the emergency system work?
A: OKWU's emergency communications service is a web-based application that sends real time emergency messages to registered users. The service contacts you via your cell phone.
Q. Will the system be tested on a regular basis?
A: Yes. The service will be tested once each semester to ensure that the system is working correctly and to remind the OKWU community of the service.
Q. When will the service be used?
A: OKWU's emergency communications service will only be used in the event of emergency.
Q. Will it be used for important school informational updates?
A: Yes. The service will be used for that purpose as well.
Q. Will OKWU charge for this service?
A: No. There is no charge for this service.
Q. Do I need to register for this service?
A. Yes. You need to register for this service. Students can register by clicking here.
Parking Procedures and Regulations
No appeals will be reviewed if more than seven days have elapsed since the violation occurred. Only one appeal per violation may be made and the decision of the traffic committee is final. The fine must be paid before an appeal will be reviewed. Appeals may be filed at the Campus Safety Office.
Designated Parking
Reserved parking spaces are provided for designated campus personnel and other individuals as specified:
- Handicapped: Parking areas are marked by signs within the various parking lots and are restricted to vehicles displaying current disabled and handicapped parking permits.
- Bicycle: Bicycle racks are provided in various areas of campus for any two-wheeled vehicle that is not self- propelled.
- Visitor: Parking is designated by signs and is restricted to bona-fide campus visitors. This does not apply to off-campus students who are "just visiting" campus for a while.
- Faculty/Staff: Parking is provided for vehicles with current faculty/staff permits in specially designated areas.
These spaces are available to any registered vehicle, subject to the time limitation.
- Weekend Parking: Faculty/Staff parking lots are not open to students at any time.
- Holidays/Breaks: All parking regulations are still in effect during this time.
OKWU will not assume responsibility for any loss, damage, theft, fire, or negligence to any motor vehicle parked on college property. To be protected from such losses, vehicle owners should acquire the appropriate coverage with their own insurance company.
Motor Vehicle Ownership
Maintaining a motor vehicle on the OKWU campus is a privilege for each person who operates it in a reasonable, considerate manner and abides by campus regulations. Those who do not comply with campus motor vehicle regulations, keep financial obligations paid up to date, or do not maintain a satisfactory academic record may lose the privilege of using a motor vehicle on campus. All traffic regulations are in effect at all times (day and night), including holidays, breaks and vacations. All traffic and parking regulations apply to students, faculty, and staff members.
Parking Fines
Students will receive a notification of parking violation on their windshield or in their campus mailbox. A copy of this notice can be provided to the student's advisor, coach (if applicable), and guardians. Each student will be given a warning for the first parking violations and a subsequent parking violation will result in the car being booted/towed at the owner's expense. This sequence of notices will restart on August 15 every year.
Registration and Parking Permits
Each motor vehicle must be registered at the student cashiers office within 48 hours of arriving on campus, weekends excluded. Returning students must re-register their cars. A parking permit will be issued which must be affixed to the passenger side front windshield (inside). Unregistered vehicles will be ticketed on the first violation and any subsequent violation will result in the car being towed at the owner's expense.
- Drivers must park their vehicles properly within designated areas, taking no more than one vehicle space.
- Parking in any area other than that properly designated is prohibited.
- Parking in fire zones, such as the circle in front of the mansion, is prohibited.
- Parking in "No Parking" zones and along any of the roadway curbing is prohibited.
- Parking a motorcycle, motor scooter, motorbike, or moped in the bicycle racks is prohibited.
- Blocking a street, driveway or sidewalk is prohibited.
- Vehicle repair and trailer parking is allowed only by permission of the Director of Buildings and Grounds.
- Parking in an unmarked area is prohibited. This includes the grass.
Traffic Regulations
- Pedestrians have the right-of-way at all crosswalks.
- Driving a motor vehicle on pedestrian paths, sidewalks, grass, or any part of the campus not designated a roadway is prohibited.
- A maximum speed limit of 15 m.p.h. is assigned to all campus roadways and parking lots.
- Full Stops are to be made at all STOP signs.
Violations and Penalties
Traffic citations involve the assessment of fines and, if necessary, towing charges. Citations are payable at the Cashier's Office immediately. Transcripts and degrees will be withheld until all fines are paid.

The Tetherballs of Bougainville: A Novel
Your standard, garden-variety satirists and surrealists look like municipal judges in Utah next to Mark Leyner, who here has produced a coming-of-age tale that takes place in no age you've ever seen, even if some of it is set in New Jersey. (And, yes, there are bits and pieces set in Bougainville, some even about tetherball.) A lad named Mark Leyner has just observed the Garden State failing to execute his father; meanwhile, he has to do something about his screenplay The Vivisection of Mighty Mouse Jr., which has already won an award even though he technically hasn't written it yet. After that, things get complicated. I didn't count them to be sure, but there seem to be at least half a dozen WTF-inducing sentences on each and every page. This is the mark of genius, and perhaps also of some mental condition to be announced in the forthcoming tablet edition (take one as directed each day) of DSM VI. Read it at your own risk. If you survive, you'll love it.

Dear Editor:
There are times when I have to wonder why so many people do not connect Obama to anything happening in the country. Until very recently, he escaped attachment to the economy, or any of his policies — even Obama care, which is named after him. Though the American people express total disagreement with the agenda, and utter disapproval of the nation's direction, they do not associate Obama with any of it.
I bet you won't find a memo from Obama to Lois Lerner saying, "Target the Tea Party." He didn't have to give her orders. He wanted her in that particular role based on who he is, and who she is. Obama knew she had a history of using government to target conservatives. After all, under her leadership in the 1990s, the FCC sued the Christian Coalition (which, after she put them through the wringer, was completely cleared of any wrong doing).
So Lerner needed no instructions to glean what obummer wanted from her. And Obama knew full well what he could expect from her. She showed up hating conservatives, despising the Tea Party. She arrived wanting to punish them. That's why she was put there.
Obama positioned all such people — Eric Holder, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, you name them — to do his bidding. Everyone at the IRS is doing what they know will please the messiah. They are Obama. He has hired people he knows to be fellow travelers, he has encouraged them — and, after any malfeasance is discovered, he has not fired a single one of them.
In fact, in virtually every instance, he has promoted them and given them bonuses! So the message is still being sent loud and clear throughout the Obama administration. Go after my enemies. You will not be punished. You will be protected, and you will be rewarded.
This is the context for the assertion that essentially what's taking place in the United States right now is a coup — not violent, not militaristic; but nevertheless a takeover of a government by the Obama administration and his thugs. Many folks envision a coup d etat as a bunch of rebels driving beat-up Jeeps around and firing machine guns. But this is a peaceful coup, where the administration is transforming the nation into something it was not founded to be.
You know it and I know it. This is what animates me. This is why the Tea Party exists. America was founded on certain principles, and they're under assault. Chief among them, the freedoms and rights protected by the Constitution concerning speech, religion, arms and privacy ("the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects").
So … in the midst of learning that we're under drone surveillance, and that secret government agencies are hovering, vacuuming every call, e-mail, communication, keystroke, we're told: "Calm down." Nothing whatsoever to worry about. Cause in the midst of a peaceful coup, don't be afraid to name it. And then repel it. By voting out the miscreants!

In 1820, an Italian violinist--then little known outside his own country--published a collection of virtuoso pieces--including one that would inspire works by Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others.
Paganini, who lived from 1782 to 1840, was a virtuoso violinist, with a reportedly breathtaking command of his instrument. He was so good, in fact, that he could not find enough showcase pieces to satisfy the demands of his audiences, and so he turned to writing his own.
His 24 Caprices, Op. 1, from 1820, written before he attained fame outside Italy, are still the supreme test of any great violinist. Of the 24, however, it is the final one that has attracted the most attention.
In this hour, the astonishing impact of Nicolo Paganini's 24th Caprice for Solo Violin.

Berlin-based songwriter Sabrina Milena's full-length debut is colored by electronics and samples combining with acoustic instruments and odd synths, but is highlighted by her nicotine-stained croon.
Berlin-based songwriter Sabrina Milena sounds natural lodged deep inside a grim dirge. "Thirsty", the third song on her full-length debut, is the record's quintessential track, the guitar and banjo sounding like they're walking uphill on a dirt road and collapsing every other step from exhaustion. And Milena's deep voice, reminiscent of Jessie Sykes' nicotine-stained croon but with more quivering vibrato, staggers a couple steps ahead, bound for someplace dark and probably a little scary.
The bedroom production on Seven Sisters is full, the electronics and samples combining with acoustic instruments and odd synths in that way that artists on Monika and Tomlab always seem adept, but the real draw is Milena's voice. She often doubles or triples it, almost as often adds a bit of processing to make it sound a hair less human, but these tweaks and layers exist mostly reinforce that she sounds very alone. This is a hermetic record, very much one person carefully making tracks alone in her apartment, even when guests chip in. Tord Lövik from the Riverendings duets on the gorgeous "Love Feel You Do", and with the slightly out-of-tune acoustic guitar zeroing in on a couple notes and the rolled-off high end it almost sounds like Jandek and Nancy covering some Townes Van Sant tune. It's romantic longing at its saddest and most fatalistic.
While its solitary nature certainly works to Seven Sisters' advantage, sometimes it feels a bit too claustrophobic, hemmed-in to the point of queasiness. There's an odd cast to the production here, certain woozy samples of strings that seem about 4-bits deep and that stretch and contract at irregular intervals. Somewhere lurking inside "Figs Tree" is a straightforward murder ballad but the production is impossible to get a fix on, like a melodramatic film sound track recovered from a degraded print left to rot in the studio's basement. "How Ode" is even more warped, its backward music box and wildly distorted vocals that seem to waft out of one of some postmodern deconstruction of a Kurt Weill operetta.
Milena has succeeded at constructing an odd and original gothic mood piece, but the headspace of Seven Sisters is the sort I'd only want to visit occasionally. "Lily Wyatt", a catchy acoustic pop song that stands out here like a starlight mint in a bowl full of razor blades, is the track here I keep returning to. That it works so well in a style outside the rest of the record suggests that Milena is an artist in control of her talent, ready to take it in different directions when so inclined.

GP's sleep advice - leave her to cry all night. Really?(23 Posts)
We've been having sleep issues with 12month old DD, she wakes every 2hrs and has done for the past 7 months. She will only go back to sleep if I breastfeed her.
I called the GP to ask if there was anything he could prescribe to make her drowsy enough to sleep longer stretches at night just temporarily to get us through the next couple of weeks (DS is going into hospital for an operation, he was very distressed for a couple of weeks after his last op and woke frequently in the night, am expecting similar this time).
GP said there is nothing they can prescribe. He suggested piriton over the counter as a temporary solution but this isn't guaranteed to work.
For a long term solution, he advised that we leave her to cry. All night and not go to her at all.
I asked him to clarify a couple of times that leaving her all night is what he meant, he said yes - it is scientifically proven to work quickly and in 2-3 days she should be sleeping throught the night and it won't do her any harm.
This doesn't seem right to me. I've already looked into cry-it-out methods (we haven't really gone down that route, I can't do it), I thought the idea was leaving the baby for increasingly long gaps, 5 mins 10 mins etc but still going in to reassure.
My husband agrees with the GP and is all for leaving her to cry all night (he will be looking after her while I stay with DS in the hospital) but I just feel that would be wrong and I'd worry about the long term effects on her. I think it will be distressing enough for her not to have me around overnight, this will be the first time I have left her.
Is the GP right, is this the only solution when bad sleep habits are so entrenched now at 12months old?
Hi , I wouldn't leave her all night but we did do a gentle form of letting her cry out , we didn't return unless it was crying uncontrollably . We found the more we returned the more she cried ..... The key is knowing when it's a moan and when it's sobbing from the heart . It kinda worked for us . We began at 10 months and. I couldn't take anymore ....
No, and I would be looking for a new GP, tbh.
She will be unsettled, and your DH will just have to cope with a couple of sleepless nights.
Am also appalled that he suggested getting Piriton. Didn't they withdraw Medised for this age group?
If you want to try some kind of sleep training then wait till after your son is better, and do it then. But not crying for hours - going in at intervals to comfort her is much less distressing for her.
Your post just goes to show that
a) GPs don't know everything.
b) GPs talk bollox
c) GPs make stuff up because they are more afraid of appearing stupid than admitting they don't know the answer
You could try offering water instead of breast when she's waking. It might take a couple of nights for her to understand that there won't be milk available. I found it helped us, DD was a little younger when she stopped feeding at night. A dummy might also be useful if she just wants something to suckle on.
I meant to add , no gp should be advising on a sleep aid for a baby . I wanted to ask , is dd in her own room or in with I/ co sleep . The good thing is that if u try now to sleep train it's still early enough . I have s friend with a 2 year old who still does the same thing but she did t have the heart to sleep train . Hang in there x
Bloody hell, I can't believe that a GP was advocating medicating a 12 month old in order to get her to sleep.
Whether you agree with crying it out under normal circumstances, surely this has to be a better alternative to drugging her.
The GP probably thought if you were willing to drug your child then you must be desperate for a quick fix. Just BF her until you over this patch. If you want to sleep train gently then it could take a while. 'The No Cry Sleep Solution' has lots of good ideas. None of them have worked on mine, she slept like yours for about a year but is much much better now. She is just growing out of it.
I used gentle cry it out, first 5 mins then in just to say "It's nighttime, go to sleep", 10 mins then same again. If she was still crying after another 10 mins I would give up and try again half an hour or so later. It worked in a few nights and she sleeps through.
I did work on her liking the cot before this and had special toys she could only play with in there plus I made sure she wasn't hungry and didn't need a feed during the night before I began.
Controlled crying is when you go in after increasing periods of time to reassure. Cry it out is the hardcore version when you shut the door and leave her to it - this is what your GP was describing. It does get used - I have seen it more often on US parenting forums - but understandably most people are not comfortable with it.
I too am thinking along the lines of Cravingdairy and wonder if the GP might have misjudged the situation. I know you didn't mean any harm and there is context to why you wanted it as a short-term measure, but... the GP may well have thought you were absolutely at the end of your tether to even consider sedating your child. CIO is the lesser of several possible evils in that situation. Trust me I've seen it, sadly.
Or maybe he's just an idiot. Equally possible.
But to answer your question, no you don't have to leave her to cry, and yes there are effective, gentler solutions. I like Andrea Grace's approach myself - nice and simple - Google or MN search for her
OP google cry to sleep methods and the affect of cortisol (stress hormone) in their brain.
I know for many cc/cio work but be sure before you do it. If its any consolation my DS is 12 months and is exactly the same as is all the bfing mums/babes in our NCTM group.
Have you tried cosleeping? for you OP
Personally I would suggest nightweaning her. Ds was similar and I was working full time so we decided that when he woke dh would go in to settle him. It wasn't a quick fix, it did involve some crying, but he was cuddled and held all the time. His waking reduced fairly quickly and he was sleeping through every night in a couple of months.
Your gp sounds charming!
Thanks for your replies, I'm glad you think leaving her to cry all night is a bad idea!
I wouldn't have asked him to prescribe something under normal non-sleeping circumstances. Knowing nothing about this kind of thing I assumed there might be something non-harmful she could have had temporarily to get us through the few nights where DS will really need us (last time he slept next to me for over a week after the op with his cheek pressed against mine, yelping in his sleep from the pain from the spasms caused by the catheter, plus I had to get up through the night to prepare his medication which he needed at various times, we were given loads of it and I'll have to be compos mentis enough to get all the doses correct).
I wasn't wanting to 'drug' DD, I honestly thought there might have been something non-harmful for babies, since there seems to be a medicinal solution to everything these days (when I give her calpol i don't think of it as drugging her, though I suppose it is really). Drugging her makes it sound like I wanted to completely sedate her, I can't bear to even think of doing that, I just was hoping there might be something to help her sleep just for longer stretches at night - my sister takes something called Kalms? That helps her sleep. I was hoping there was something for babies. I hope he hasn't put on her medical records that she has a neurotic mother that wanted to drug her!
To be honest I have got to the point where I'm desperate. I just can't see how I can carry on with so little sleep. If it hadn't been for the impending operation I would gladly go with it until DD grows out of it (DS was similar, though not as bad, and I breastfed him back to sleep every time he woke in the night as he needed and he eventually slept through when he was 2.5yrs old, he's a perfect sleeper now). To have both children waking through the night at different times and needing to cosleep, I just don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm already utterly exhausted.
Her cot is in with me&DH at the moment, the plan was for her to share with DS but she's just too noisy. She usually comes into bed with me about 2-3am, poor DH goes to the spare room.
After DS's op we're going to have to try gently weaning her off needing me so much at night, we've had a chat and DH is going to start getting up to her in the night & try giving a tommee tippee of milk instead.
I'm not so worried about how we'll get on after DS has recovered and everything is back to normal, it is the 10-15 days of hell that I feel is looming next week. I suppose whatever happens we will get through it and come out the other end.
She is probably teething. There's no reason why she shouldn't need to be near you.
I would have her in the same room so it's easier to go to her - you may find she settles far better knowing you are close by anyway.
Good luck.
x posts, sorry - that sounds like a really good plan
Oh, it sounds like you are at the end of your tether, not that you want to drug your baby. Don't feel that we are judging you - I am cross at the doc for suggesting it to you as an option.
There are lots of tips and tricks for getting babies to sleep, but I am afraid that the week before such a stressful op is probably not the best time to try them out.
Do you have someone who could help you out during the day so you could have a quick nap?
btw, I was too soft to do controlled crying or sleep training till DS was 2yrs old. I do wish I had done it earlier because once you get past the first few days, it gets better. But no point trying to do this at the same time as having a recovering boy who needs you too. ((hugs))
I am appalled by the advice given by your GP! I've never been a CIO fan in general, but I understand people who will try it for 5 minute stretches. I have 4 LOs and have practiced attachment parenting with all of them. The last two are twins...and I have to admit that my style of baby rearing was more than a tad exhausting. I wanted to find something to help them settle faster and sleep for longer stretches. I tried a lot of routine related stuff, baby massage, singing, etc..., all to no avail. Then I started spending money on every natural online solution I could find. None of that worked either, sadly. But I kept plugging away, figuring I'd eventually find something that would have some sort of measurable impact. I found baby2sleep.net and figured I'd give it a go. And it worked like a charm! Helped my babies settle faster and kept them sleeping longer. Plus, it helped my then three-year-old son with his bedtime routine at the same time. Lovely! I still use it every night
As a doctor it always surprises me to hear of GPs giving out advice on sleep. We learn NOTHING about childcare as part of medical training, only childhood illness. Any advice a GP gives out regarding feeding, sleep or routine care will be based on personal opinion and not any evidence based practice.
Derby university have recently set up a group looking into the actual research regarding infant sleep, and theor conclusion has been quite against CIO.
I dont have any suggestions im afraid but good luck and I hope your son recovers quickly.
Google Dr Jay Gordon night weaning and it will come up with an extremely gentle method of limiting milk during a 7 hour window.
Would fit perfectly for you to begin now and husband to carry on whilst your in hospital with ds.
We saw instant results and it was no where near as bad as I expected (in terms of crying and settling her down). On a side note, it also didn't stop us bf'ing - still going at 26 months - just made the feeds more meaningful during the day.
Just to say, we did CC with our 14 month old very successfully on advice from a sleep consultant who told us to go in at 5 min, 10 min and then every 15 min after that - i.e. don't leave for longer than 15 min.
I'm sorry to say this, but your problem here isn't your children it's your DH. As I read it and please correct me if I am wrong you were/are reasonably happy feeding/co-sleeping with your 1 yo. However your big boy needs to go in to hospital and will also need comforting at night. So....2 parents, 2 children, why can't DH go into hospital with Ds leaving you happily co-sleeping with dd ? The whole thing just smacks of a man who doesn't want his sleep disturbed !..

TARTAN carpet business Stevens & Graham has secured a US distribution deal worth $1 million (£590,000) a year which the Scottish firm hopes will be the first in a series of overseas contracts.
The arrangement will see Stark, a New York-based carpet, fabric and wall-coverings business, distribute the Scottish firm's products to interior designers throughout North America.
Black Watch, Hunting Stewart, Wallace and McLeod will be among the tartans featuring on the carpets, which will ultimately be bound for hotels, cruise liners and high-end apartments.
Loading article content
The US expansion comes after Stevens & Graham, which built its reputation supplying tartan carpets to hotels, golf clubs and retailers, was acquired by entrepreneur John McIlvogue last year
Mr McIlvogue, who bought the firm from its original owning family, said he has been focused on building exports since arriving at the business last year.
He said the deal will allow it to add six to its 12-strong staff within the next year.
The company is also about to open a showroom in Glasgow's Bath Street, in the ground floor of a Georgian townhouse.
Mr McIlvogue said: "Export is the key to this business in order to make it really succeed. There are simply not enough people in Scotland unfortunately.
"The American market is obviously one that is extremely important to us. It's 300 million people, there are a lot of Scottish ties there and tartan, outwith the history and the clan element, is extremely fashionable as well at the moment.
"The American deal will allow us to expand further and employ some more people to deal with it."
Stevens & Graham, which was established in 1947, currently employs 12 full-time staff at its current 15,000 square foot warehouse and showroom in Polmadie, Glasgow.
The carpets are designed in Scotland but ultimately manufactured in England.
Mr McIlvogue, who also owns a flooring business, JMV Carpets, said he would like all aspects of the production process to be handled north of the Border.
He said: "We would love to manufacture in Scotland, but unfortunately there are no mills in Scotland anymore.
"The aim of the company would be to bring manufacturing back to Glasgow, but the skills just aren't there. All our carpets are made on old Axminster looms from the 1940s and 1950s.
"The guys that tune these and maintain them are long gone. It's very, very difficult to find that type of labour."
The US deal was announced in the week Stevens & Graham supplied a Wallace tartan carpet for a 20th anniversary screening of Braveheart in Edinburgh.
That came after it provided a carpet for an event attended by Ryder Cup captains Paul McGinley and Tom Watson in Perth ahead of this September's matches at Gleneagles, and one for the recent US Open.
Mr McIlvogue is not convinced events such as the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup will have a direct spin-off for his business, but said the appeal of Scottish heritage across the Atlantic is not in doubt.

The Mayor of Casterbridge (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
From its spectacular opening-the astonishing scene in which drunken Michael Henchard sells his wife and daughter to a passing sailor at a county fair-to the breathtaking series of discoveries at its conclusion, The Mayor of Casterbridge claims a unique place among Thomas Hardy's finest and most powerful novels. Rooted in an actual case of wife-selling in early nineteenth-century England, the story build into an awesome Sophoclean drama of guilt and revenge, in which the strong, willful Henchard rises to a position of wealth and power-only to suffer a most bitter downfall. Proud, obsessed, ultimately committed to his own destruction, Henchard is, as Albert Guerard has said, "Hardy's Lord Jim...his only tragic hero and one of the greatest tragic heroes in all fiction.
About the Author
Thomas Hardy, whose writing immortalized the Wessex countryside and dramatized his sense of the inevitable tragedy of life, was born at Upper Bockhampton, near Stinsford in Dorset in 1840, the eldest child of a prosperous stonemason. As a youth he trained as an architect and in 1862 obtained a post in London. During his time he began seriously to write poetry, which remained his first literary love and his last. In 1867-68, his first novel was refused publication, but Under the Greenwood Tree (1872), his first Wessex novel, did well enough to convince him to continue writing. In 1874, Far from the Maddening Crowd, published serially and anonymously in the Cornhill Magazine, became a great success. Hardy married Emma Gifford in 1878, and in 1885 they settled at Max Gate in Dorchester, where he lived the rest of his life. There he had wrote The Return of the Native (1878), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). With Tess, Hardy clashed with the expectations of his audience; a storm of abuse broke over the "infidelity" and "obscenity" of this great novel he had subtitled "A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented." Jude the Obscure aroused even greater indignation and was denounced as pornography. Hardy's disgust at the reaction to Jude led him to announce in 1869 that he would never write fiction ever again. He published Wessex Poems in 1898, Poems of the Past and Present in 1901, and from 1903 to 1908, The Dynast, a huge drama in which Hardy's conception of the Immanent Will, implicit in the tragic novels, is most clearly stated. In 1912 Hardy's wife, Emma died. The marriage was childless and had been a troubled one, but in the years after her death, Hardy memorialized her in several poems. At seventy-four he married his longtime secretary, Florence Dugdale, herself a writer of children's books and articles, with whom he live happily until his death in 1928. His heart was buried in the Wessex Countryside; his ashes were placed next to Charles Dickens's in the Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey.
Praise For…
"Hardy's world is a world that can never disappear." —Margaret Drabble

By HAZEL LEVINE
Contributing Writer
Edgy. Gritty. Raw. These elements are what make the second annual Raise the Barre fundraiser a knockout party. The Louisville Ballet's upcoming event focuses on and raises money for the dancers who comprise the ballet's company. The Ballet's 13th St., warehouse will be converted to a chic event space, offering a "behind the scenes†look at the working side of Louisville's elite dance company. According to Louisville Ballet Artistic Director Bruce Simpson, Raise the Barre attendees will see "another side of the ballet†and that the company's costumes and sets will be a part of the party experience.
Raise the Barre is an opportunity for the twenty-four full-time dancers and fifteen trainees to let loose and mingle with their biggest fans. Hailing from sixteen states and five countries, all 39 company members now call Louisville home and are active members of the local artistic community.
Simpson, along with Bittners President Douglas Riddle, has created the event to help sustain and support the dancers. Simpson says,"this evening is unique in that it is for the dancers, to celebrate them and to help them. All of the funds raised go directly to giving dancers a salary bonus.â€
Riddle has an intimate relationship with the Louisville Ballet dancers, and wants to share this dynamic with the rest of the Louisville community. Douglas sees the Ballet as "one of the most inspiring and creative organizations in Louisville.†He co-created Raise the Barre because he feels deeply about ensuring that the dancers have a sustainable career in the field they are truly passionate about. Riddle describes the event as "up close and personal,†and "a chance for the audience to get to know the dancers on a human level.â€
Simpson and Riddle wanted to create an event that truly honors the company members of the Louisville Ballet. Raise the Barre doubles as an exclusive event for the Louisville community to really get to know the diverse group of dancers that make up the company. Many national ballet companies feature traveling dancers that come and go, but the Louisville dance company hires full-time, permanent dancers who choose Louisville as their home.
Simpson has cultivated "longstanding relationships, where [he] works with the dancers, nurtures them, and develops their talent over 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 years. The dancers establish an extraordinary sense of family, and a wonderful sense of home in Louisville.†Christy Corbitt Miller, in her ninth season with the Ballet, feels that "this town is so supportive…like being part of a larger family, outside of her ballet family.†Newer dancer, Rob Morrow is originally from New Orleans and joined the Louisville Ballet in 2007. Morrow cannot wait for Raise the Barre so that he can "meet all the donors in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.†Morrow has been thrilled with his experience here and believes that the "Louisville art community is amazing…everyone is passionate here.â€
Simpson, who hails from Scotland, and who spent thirty years with South Africa's State Theatre Ballet, made Louisville his home eleven years ago. For him, Raise the Barre is the perfect opportunity to integrate Louisville's ballet patrons with his company of internationally renowned dancers. Simpson characterizes the three main factors that dancers look for when searching for a ballet company: a trusted Artistic Director, a repertoire in which they can look back on their careers and feel fulfilled and the quality of city in which they will be living. When dancers join the Louisville ballet "they do not want to leave,†and Simpson is very proud of how Louisville and the Louisville Ballet takes care of its dancers.
Riddle has a very personal love for the Louisville Ballet and its dancers. Their practice facility on East Main Street is only a few blocks from Bittners and he stops by to view rehearsals when he can. Raise the Barre will give fans of the ballet a similar "up close and personal†opportunity. After a short performance, the dancers will stay at the party and socialize, erasing the barrier between audience and performer.
Cara Hicks, the Ballet's Director of Marketing, describes Raise the Barre as "a very intimate affair, very different from our big Gala. It is more rave-like than black tie, definitely geared toward the younger generation.†She even hinted at a surprise performance by the company, which may include topless male dancers.
Riddle and Simpson envision Raise the Barre as a night in which the dancers take a much-needed break from long rehearsal days and the annual gearing up for the annual run of The Nutcracker and just show up and party—like the other attendees. No work, only play. Miller, veteran dancer and a new mother, cannot wait: "As a mommy, it is a really fun night out on the town…and the purpose makes it even better.â€
Simpson is aware of the fact that people are constantly being asked to donate and fund every type of cause and institution. However, he feels that when people watch performing arts, they only see the "gorgeousness,†they do not really sit back and think about the finances of the event. The value of the dollar decreases every year, and that makes fundraising very difficult. Simpson is hopeful that the Raise the Barre fundraiser will provide an even bigger salary bonus than last year.
This year's sponsors: Brown-Forman, YUM! Foundation, Calospa Rejuvenation, Jaguar Louisville, Bittners, Highland Cleaners, Kindred Healthcare, Thornton's, and The Diaz Family are all repeats from last year's event. Simpson was thrilled that all of them "wanted to support the event again.†This is not only a feat, but it definitely says that this event is sought after and adored.
A limited number of $100 tickets are available in advance by calling 502.583.3150 ext. 232. The cost includes an open bar, food, dancing, music, and a very memorable night. The party starts at 9:30pm and goes until the last attendees leave the dance floor. Ticket holders will also receive discounts to in-studio performances in October and January; another great opportunity for community members to experience the Louisville Ballet in an up-close and personal way.

Somerset sisters accused of torturing man with pliers
Two Somerset sisters face up to 40 years in jail for allegedly sexually torturing a teenage male with a pair of pliers and forcing him to drink urine.
Valerie Bartkey, 24, and Amanda Johnson, 17, of Somerset have been charged with second-degree sexual assault by force and misdemeanor counts of battery and damage to property. Johnson is also charged with a misdemeanor count of intimidating a victim. They face up to 40 years in prison if convicted of the sexual assault felony.
The 18-year-old man told police the assault took place on Oct. 1, 2011 in Somerset. According to court documents, the man was tortured with a pair of pliers and threatened with a belt.
He claimed the sisters hit him and then took his shoes and soaked them in the sink and toilet in the bathroom of the residence.
Later, he said they allegedly gave him a glass of what they claimed was lemonade and forced him to drink it. He claimed the liquid turned out to be urine from the sisters.
Allegedly, they then forced him to remove his clothes and threatened him with pliers and a belt if he didn't do what they told him.
When the man allegedly refused to have sex with Bartkey, Bartkey reportedly pulled and twisted the man's penis with the pliers while Johnson slapped the belt on the floor a couple times.
Allegedly, Bartkey's 4-year-old daughter was in the residence at the time of the incident.
According to the criminal complaint, Johnson reportedly called the man on Oct. 27 threatening that if he didn't drop the charges she'd tell school and police authorities that he smoked marijuana on Oct. 1. The man denied smoking marijuana but claimed Bartkey and Johnson did.
A court appearance is scheduled for April 12.

Walkthrough: Synchronizing a Custom Task Pane with a Ribbon Button
This walkthrough demonstrates how to create a custom task pane that users can hide or display by clicking a toggle button on the Ribbon. You should always create a user interface (UI) element, such as a button, that users can click to display or hide your custom task pane, because Microsoft Office applications do not provide a default way for users to show or hide custom task panes.
Applies to: The information in this topic applies to VSTO add-in projects for Outlook. For more information, see Features Available by Office Application and Project Type.
Although this walkthrough uses Excel specifically, the concepts demonstrated by the walkthrough are applicable to any applications that are listed above.
This walkthrough illustrates the following tasks:
Designing the UI of the custom task pane.
Adding a toggle button to the Ribbon.
Synchronizing the toggle button with the custom task pane.
You need the following components to complete this walkthrough:
An edition of Visual Studio that includes the Microsoft Office developer tools. For more information, see Configuring a Computer to Develop Office Solutions.
Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Excel 2013.
In this step, you will create an VSTO Add-in project for Excel.
To create a new project
Create an Excel Add-in project with the name SynchronizeTaskPaneAndRibbon, using the Excel Add-in project template. For more information, see How to: Create Office Projects in Visual Studio.
Visual Studio opens the ThisAddIn.cs or ThisAddIn.vb code file and adds the SynchronizeTaskPaneAndRibbon project to Solution Explorer.
One of the Office application design guidelines is that users should always have control of the Office application UI. To enable users to control the custom task pane, you can add a Ribbon toggle button that shows and hides the task pane. To create a toggle button, add a Ribbon (Visual Designer) item to the project. The designer helps you add and position controls, set control properties, and handle control events. For more information, see Ribbon Designer.
To add a toggle button to the Ribbon
On the Project menu, click Add New Item.
In the Add New Item dialog box, select Ribbon (Visual Designer).
Change the name of the new Ribbon to ManageTaskPaneRibbon, and click Add.
The ManageTaskPaneRibbon.cs or ManageTaskPaneRibbon.vb file opens in the Ribbon Designer and displays a default tab and group.
In the Ribbon Designer, click group1.
In the Properties window, set the Label property to Task Pane Manager.
From the Office Ribbon Controls tab of the Toolbox, drag a ToggleButton onto the Task Pane Manager group.
Click toggleButton1.
In the Properties window, set the Label property to Show Task Pane.
There is no visual designer for custom task panes, but you can design a user control with the layout you want. Later in this walkthrough, you will add the user control to the custom task pane.
To design the user interface of the custom task pane
On the Project menu, click Add User Control.
In the Add New Item dialog box, change the name of the user control to TaskPaneControl, and click Add.
The user control opens in the designer.
From the Common Controls tab of the Toolbox, drag a TextBox control to the user control.
To create the custom task pane when the VSTO Add-in starts, add the user control to the task pane in the Startup event handler of the VSTO Add-in. By default, the custom task pane will not be visible. Later in this walkthrough, you will add code that will display or hide the task pane when the user clicks the toggle button you added to the Ribbon.
To create the custom task pane
In Solution Explorer, expand Excel.
Right-click ThisAddIn.cs or ThisAddIn.vb and click View Code.
Add the following code to the
ThisAddInclass. This code declares an instance of
TaskPaneControlas a member of
Replace the
ThisAddIn_Startupevent handler with the following code. This code adds the
TaskPaneControlobject to the
CustomTaskPanesfield, but it does not display the custom task pane (by default, the Visible property of the CustomTaskPane class is false). The Visual C# code also attaches an event handler to the VisibleChanged event.
Add the following method to the
ThisAddInclass. This method handles the VisibleChanged event. When the user closes the task pane by clicking the Close button (X), this method updates the state of the toggle button on the Ribbon.
Add the following property to the
ThisAddInclass. This property exposes the private
myCustomTaskPane1object to other classes. Later in this walkthrough, you will add code to the
MyRibbonclass that uses this property.
The last step is to add code that displays or hides the custom task pane when the user clicks the toggle button on the Ribbon.
To display and hide the custom task pane by using the toggle button
In the Ribbon Designer, double-click the Show Task Pane toggle button.
Visual Studio automatically generates an event handler named
toggleButton1_Click, which handles the Click event of the toggle button. Visual Studio also opens the MyRibbon.cs or MyRibbon.vb file in the Code Editor.
Replace the
toggleButton1_Clickevent handler with the following code. When the user clicks the toggle button, this code displays or hides the custom task pane, depending on whether the toggle button is pressed or not pressed.
When you run the project, Excel opens without displaying the custom task pane. Click the toggle button on the Ribbon to test the code.
To test your VSTO Add-in
Press F5 to run your project.
Confirm that Excel opens, and the Add-Ins tab appears on the Ribbon.
Click the Add-Ins tab on the Ribbon.
In the Task Pane Manager group, click the Show Task Pane toggle button.
Verify that the task pane is alternately displayed and hidden when you click the toggle button.
When the task pane is visible, click the Close button (X) in the corner of the task pane.
Verify that the toggle button appears to be not pressed.
You can learn more about how to create custom task panes from these topics:
Create a custom task pane in an VSTO Add-in for a different application. For more information about the applications that support custom task panes, see Custom Task Panes.
Automate an application from a custom task pane. For more information, see Walkthrough: Automating an Application from a Custom Task Pane.
Create a custom task pane for every e-mail message that is opened in Outlook. For more information, see Walkthrough: Displaying Custom Task Panes with E-Mail Messages in Outlook.

One man stands trial this week, while another pleaded guilty and a third had charges dropped in a drive-by shooting that apparently culminated a feud between two East Athens families.

Attorneys took all day Tuesday to select a jury in the case of 25-year-old Charlie Dorsey, charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime for an Oct. 16 attack on Jacob Hood.
The final juror was selected at about 5:30 p.m.; the panel was dismissed and ordered back to Clarke County Superior Court for opening statements, scheduled for 9 a.m. today.
Prior to jury selection Tuesday morning, Dorsey's younger brother, 22-year-old Larry Dorsey - who was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon - pleaded guilty to the firearms charge and the lesser offense of aggravated battery, according to his attorney, Phillip C. Griffeth.
Prosecutors dropped an aggravated assault charge against the third co-defendant, 24-year-old Tyrall Bell, said his attorney, Dean Clark, who called the dismissal "the right decision."
Bell's involvement in the cases has not ended, Clark said, since prosecutors subpoenaed his client to testify against Charlie Dorsey.
In accepting Larry Dorsey's plea, Superior Court Chief Judge Lawton Stephens sentenced him to four years in prison and one year of probation.
All three men were arrested for the drive-by shooting at the corner of Herman and Vine streets that left Hood with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said.
In all, four men have been arrested in an ongoing dispute largely between members of two families that at the time, lived in adjoining neighborhoods off Spring Valley Road in eastern Athens-Clarke County.
Police said the alleged shooting was in retaliation for an earlier drive-by, in which the Dorseys claimed members of the Hood family fired on them. Shots were fired at the Dorseys' Sartain Drive residence on Sept. 21.
Hours earlier, 47-year-old Robert Hood Sr. was severely beaten after leaving his home on nearby Ranick Road to confront the Dorseys with a screwdriver in a dispute concerning a dog, according to police.
Suffering from serious head injuries, Hood was briefly in a coma, but has been since released from the hospital.
Robert Hood Jr., 28, was charged with aggravated assault for allegedly attempting to avenge his father's beating by firing as many as eight shots at the Dorsey residence from a passing vehicle, according to police.
A trial date for Robert Hood Jr. hasn't been scheduled.
In this week's trial, Athens-Clarke police allege Charlie Dorsey shot Jacob Hood, but defense lawyer Edward Brumby maintained his client was innocent.
"There is a real question as to who fired the shot and why, and that will be the real issue at trial," Brumby said.
"I think (Charlie Dorsey) was acting in self-defense in anything that happened."

BETHESDA, Md., May 13 (UPI) -- A popular cable television personality on the History Channel is visiting badly wounded U.S. troops, the American Forces Press Service said Friday.
R. Lee Emery, a former U.S. Marine who played the tough Marine drill instructor in the Stanley Kubrick movie "Full Metal Jacket" is now best known as the host of the History Channel's "Mail Call" program and he visited recovering troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda Friday.
"I thought I'd come down and see how they're treating you down here," R. Lee Ermey told one of the patients he visited on the hospital's Ward 68 according to the AFPS report.
A retired Marine gunnery sergeant, Ermey told AFPS that he retired long ago, but he never left the Marine Corps. "I've been with the Marines for 44 years now," he said.

Is TIN Required for Opening a Bank Account in the Philippines?
That was why I searched for another bank. And that other bank accepted my application and my documents (requirements). I concluded to myself that TIN is not required to open a bank account in certain banks in the Philippines.
In my own thinking, not all people have TIN particularly farmers, fishermans, carpenters, laborers, salesladies, housewives, students and those who are engaged in micro-businesses or small businesses. They contribute the biggest chunk of the population of the Philippines. That's why most banks don't require TIN for their applicants or new depositors. We know that banks are very hungry of acquiring new depositors whose cash become additional asset to banks. Banks will use those cash to earn money from lending (loan) it to borrowers with interest or by investing it to the stocks or investing it to diversified investment vehicles.
For those who want to open an account in a bank that requires TIN, you can get your TIN online for free by reading this article: "How to Get TIN (number) Online in the Philippines?".
What do you think of banks that require you to submit TIN?

Where once there were millions, there are now, at best, a few hundred thousand Yiddish speakers—mostly ultra-orthodox Jews, klezmer revivalists and academics. Still, for a people defined less by a common territory than their shared history, the language of Eastern European Jews is a phantom homeland and even, in its preserved worldview, something of a sacred text.
The Yiddish-language cinema produced mainly in the U.S. and Poland between the first and second world wars is a small garden in the vast expanse of film history, clearly marked off and remarkably stable. Sixty years have passed since the last American Yiddish talkie, Catskill Honeymoon, enjoyed a premiere theatrical run, and although a few postmodern (or post-Yiddish) examples have bloomed, there has been nothing like Eve Annenberg's rambunctious wild flower, Romeo and Juliet in Yiddish, since 1950—or perhaps ever.
A feature-length American Yiddish movie made in color on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as well as the first ever to boast a (very tasteful) nude scene, Annenberg's attitudinous Shakespeare riff is a unique blend of psychodrama, ethnographic experimentation and high-concept hustle. The filmmaker was inspired by and cast her movie mainly with "out" Hasidim: adventurous young people who have left their communities but retained their mameloshn (mother tongue).
As these amateur actors are all playing versions of themselves, so Annenberg appears as their would-be director Ava, a graduate-student mother hen coaxing them to provide her with a Yiddish translation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The idea is even stranger than it sounds, as these ultra-insular kids are familiar with neither playwright nor play and regard romantic love as a "fiction."
Romeo and Juliet in Yiddish was written and directed by Eve Annenberg; and stars Malky Weisz, Lazer Weiss, Mendy Zafir, Yoeli Weiss, Josef Yossi Friedman and Annenberg. Click here for show times. 89 minutes Not rated
In a way, Annenberg's movie is a fanciful documentary about itself: Lazer (Lazer Weiss) and his friends translate Shakespeare's play, which Ava has attempted to sell to them by describing its "thuggish" atmosphere, while imagining it to suit their own circumstances. Juliet (the sultry Malky Weisz) is a pious girl resisting an arranged marriage; the warring Montagues and Capulets are visualized as Satmar and Bobover, rival Hasidic sects; Friar Laurence is transformed into a sympathetic rebbe, and Annenberg doubles as Juliet's stage-managing nurse.

These correspondences work, but other material, including an itinerant kabbalist who enchants the world and Ava's personal struggle with Orthodox Judaism, can be unduly complicated. The movie fumfers a bit midway, around the time Ava (or is it Eve?) loses patience with her diffident cast, but for the most part, Romeo and Juliet is both tender and funny. Weiss, in particular, exhibits a cool deadpan both in delivering his lines as well as dramatizing his scams ("We're only pretending to be Satmar," he explains in crashing a Purim party filled with sombrero'd Bobover, or, in the context of the play, Capulets). Annenberg, a trained actress and director of the 1997 indie farce DOGS: The Rise and Fall of an All-Girl Bookie Joint, can do comedy herself—playing a wisecracking Margaret Dumont to her gaggle of black-hat Marx Brothers.
Romeo and Juliet is not the first example of mumblecore in mameloshn. A few years ago, two brothers from the ultra-orthodox town of Monsey, New York, rocked their world with a $30,000 "kosher" thriller called A Gesheft (The Deal), and there have been several fitness, cooking and music videos made in Yiddish and posted on YouTube. These are essentially mainstream American genres made Jewish for an insular audience. Annenberg, by contrast, is addressing a wider world by casting ghetto Jews in a universal story. But despite that, and although her movie appears to have been made without much knowledge of existing Yiddish cinema, she returns to the roots of Yiddish theater in drawing on Hasidism, both as a source of satire (as in The Two Kuni Lemls, in which a wealthy man's daughter is unwillingly betrothed to a pious simpleton) and poetry, or, at least, exoticism (as in The Dybbuk, an exorcism tale in which a chaste young girl is possessed by the wandering soul of her deceased lover).
Annenberg also dramatizes the single most significant trope in Yiddish theater and film, namely the conflict between tradition and modernity, but with a twist. It's Shakespeare who is being contemporized by these Hasidic kids, and in revisiting the generational conflict that fueled much Yiddish popular culture, the movie's sympathies are entirely with the young.

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
The structures of beta class carbonic anhydrases (beta-CAs) determined so far fall into two distinct subclasses based on the observed coordination of the catalytic zinc (Zn2+) ion. The subclass of beta-CAs that coordinate Zn2+ tetrahedrally with four protein-derived ligands is represented by the structures of orthologues from Porphyridium purpureum, Escherichia coli, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here we present the structure of an additional member of that subclass, that from Haemophilus influenzae, as well as detailed kinetic analysis, revealing the correspondence between structural classification and kinetic profile for this subclass. In addition, we identify a unique, noncatalytic binding mode for the substrate bicarbonate that occurs in both the H. influenzae and E. coli enzymes. The kinetic and structural analysis indicates that binding of bicarbonate in this site of the enzyme may modulate its activity by influencing a pH-dependent, cooperative transition between active and inactive forms. We hypothesize that the two structural subclasses of beta-CAs may provide models for the proposed active and inactive forms of the H. influenzae and E. coli enzymes.

Noroviruses are a group of related viruses that cause gastroenteritis in humans. This infection is also commonly called epidemic viral gastroenteritis, winter vomiting disease, summer vomiting disease and Norwark virus disease. It occurs worldwide and affects all age groups.
Noroviruses are spread through consumption of faecally contaminated food and water or by direct person to person contact. Environmental contamination may also act as a source of infection eg door handles, crockery and cutlery. Those infected shed the virus in their vomit and stool when symptoms begin and may continue after symptoms have resolved, usually for 48-72 hours but may be longer; they are highly infectious.
Norovirus infection can very quickly spread through closed communities such as nursing homes, hospital wards, children's nurseries and cruise ships.
The incubation period in humans is usually between 24-48 hours; it is highly contagious. The illness is usually self-limiting in 2-3 days.
Signs and symptoms of norovirus infection have a rapid onset and includes projectile vomiting, watery non-bloody diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, nausea and sometimes a mild fever will be present. Vomiting is more common in children.
The most common complication is dehydration and infants, the elderly and those with other health problems are most at risk and may require medical attention.
At present there is no vaccine against norovirus infection and there is no specific treatment. Antibiotics have no effect on this illness as it is caused by a virus.
Treatment consists of relieving the symptoms and replacing the fluids lost by vomiting and diarrhoea. This can be done orally by drinking fluids or rehydration solution or in hospital by intravenous infusion in severe cases.
Prevention of foodborne norovirus disease is based on the provision of safe food and water. All travellers should take precautions to ensure that all food and water consumed is safe, whenever possible.
Personal hygiene is essential when travelling and frequent hand washing is important particularly after using the toilet and before eating.
Due to recent norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships, many cruise lines have introduced strict protocols to improve passenger and staff safety. This includes using hand sanitising gel at strategic points throughout the ship eg at embarkation points, at the entrance to dining rooms, library etc. Passengers should comply with this preventive measure. Passengers should also not board the ship if they are suffering from a diarrhoeal illness. Any diarrhoeal illness aboard ship must be reported promptly to the ship's Doctor.
If caring for, or in contact with, an individual with norovirus infection careful handling of potentially infectious material is essential. This includes safe disposal of vomit/diarrhoea, soiled babies napkins or clothing, bedding, unfinished food, crockery and cutlery.Thoroughly clean and disinfect all contaminated surfaces by using a bleach based household cleaner.
Frequent handwashing cannot be over emphasised.

Farrell pleased with Janssen's effort in save
Farrell pleased with Janssen's effort in save
Blue Jays manager John Farrell said Janssen has what it takes to close games while Sergio Santos recovers from right shoulder inflammation that has sidelined him since April 21.
Janssen doesn't have an overpowering strikeout pitch or prototypical "closer stuff," but Farrell defended him by saying: "Three outs is closer stuff at the right time of the game."
"Swing-and-miss [stuff] is certainly a benefit, however you get that," Farell added.
Wednesday was Toronto's first 1-2-3 ninth inning of the season. "And it felt good," Farrell said. "[Janssen] did what he's very capable of doing, he pitches aggressively, he attacks the strike zone, he's able to use his cutter and his fastball to combat left-handed hitters."
Farrell added that closers must do three things to be successful: Throw strikes, not allow rallies by walking batters and have a short-term memory to forget squandered save opportunities.

Thirsty? The PepsiCo Dream Machine won't be able to help. But it will collect empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans and, in return, give you points that you can redeem at Pepsi's online partner in the project, Greenopolis.com, for discounts and coupons at various retailers, such as movie theaters and hotels. This recycling program is slowly expanding across the country, in grocery stores, gas stations, and parks, but at the moment, most machines are concentrated in Southern California and North Carolina, with a few locations in Florida, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania; click here to find the locations of Dream Machines and similar recycling kiosks operated by Greenopolis near you. If there isn't one nearby and you don't have a municipal recycling program, check out Earth911.org to find other places near you that recycle bottles and cans.
The next time your birthday comes and goes and you find yourself with a wallet full of spent gift cards, take them to Best Buy, where you can drop them at one of their new gift-card-recycling kiosks. That's much better than tossing them into the trash; though they seem little, those cards are made from one of the most toxic plastics: PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. The production of PVC releases cancer-causing dioxin into the atmosphere, where it builds up in our food supply, and according to EarthWorks, a company that manufactures biodegradable plastics, more than 75 million pounds of PVC from these cards enters our waste stream each year, rather than being recycled into new cards.
We've all been there: Three days (or three hours) into a road trip, your car's filled to the windows with plastic bottles, cups, fast-food wrappers, and other detritus. To help weary but conscientious travelers, Speedway SuperAmerica started a recycling program, installing recycling bins at most of its gas stations in the Lexington, Kentucky, area. But if you don't anticipate passing through that area, hold on to your recyclables. You could always dispose of them in one of the aforementioned Dream Machines or take them to a nearby highway rest stop. And some states, such as California and Wisconsin, have instituted new recycling programs that mean you could find recycling bins at state-operated rest areas. If all else fails, bring an extra bag with you to store all of your recyclables until you get home—that's what back seats and trunks are for!
Want to recycle electronics but don't live near any responsible e-waste recyclers? Stop by your local post office. The U.S. Postal Service teamed up with Clover Technologies Group in order to create a recycling program that allows free recycling of inkjet cartridges, PDAs, BlackBerries, digital cameras, iPods, and MP3 players (all made with plastic). About 1,500 post offices in the United States are participating. You pick up free envelopes from the post office and mail in whatever item you want to recycle; postage is paid for. Clover Technologies dismantles all the equipment in the United States, so there's no risk of it winding up in the hands of a child combing through trash in a developing country.
One man's recyclable garbage is another man's path to free stuff. Using special ID tags affixed to your recycling bin, Recyclebank tracks how much you're recycling and gives you rewards points that you can use at stores, including Origins, CVS, and Whole Foods. Your municipal recycling program has to work with RecycleBank in order for you to benefit (you can find a list of all the municipalities that Recyclebank currently works with here). If your community is not on the list, try to get it on board. Recyclebank has a form that you can fill out in order to try to convince your municipality to join.
Don't throw out those old cleats, baseballs, and yoga mats. They all contain plastic components that can be recycled or reused by other athletes. You might be surprised to find that there is probably a recycling program to fit every athlete's needs. If you need to get rid of old swim caps, send them to Ecoathlete so they can be made into flip-flops. The Sterling Rope Company turns old climbing rope into dog collars and key chains, and Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program grinds up old athletic shoes, collected through the mail or at Nike stores, and turns them into new sneakers or athletic surfaces such as running tracks. Yoga mats, regardless of what they're made from, can be sent to Recycle Your Mat, where you can get a discount on a new one. If old mats aren't turned into new mats, they're donated to various nonprofits, including one that uses yoga to help children overcome early life trauma. And, of course, there are always reliable standbys where you can find new homes for old sporting gear, such as Play It Again Sports or Freecyle.
The best way to avoid any hassles associated with recycling is to precycle—find new uses for stuff you'd normally toss out. There are many websites that show you how to craftily turn used cartons, old T-shirts, wine bottles, and other bric-a-brac into beautiful art projects and handy tools. Find ways to reuse hard-to-recycle items like milk cartons and aseptic cartons (which contain plastic coatings and layers that make them hard to recycle) at lifehacker.com, which provides instructions on converting them into CD mailers, or Disney's familyfun.go.com, where you can learn to turn them into change purses like the one pictured at right. Know a bookworm? Old seed packets make great bookmarks. If you're up for more of a challenge, turn newspapers into gift baskets, or make notepads out of recycled cardboard, paper, cartons, or whatever else you have around the house, all found here.

Realism and Innovation
Faculty members at The School of Architecture are inventing viable new housing types for New England's aging cities both in the design studio and in practice. Each semester students focus on one of the region's urban neighborhoods and its housing stock. They analyze the existing market and regulatory context to understand the factors that influence parking, structural systems, building heights, and floor plan efficiencies. Fortified with this practical knowledge, students are empowered to propose meaningful innovations that include new types of units, thoughtfully conceived spaces, and unprecedented amenities.
New Types
Working with a deep understanding of the housing stock that comprises much of New England's urban neighborhoods—including the ubiquitous triple-decker—faculty members have created new types that meet today's market demands for on-site parking, handicapped accessible units, and flexible lifestyle choices. The results have been remarkable. Professor Tim Love's firm, Utile, Inc., has invented new takes on four-story wood frame housing, from multi-unit apartment buildings to new interpretations of the traditional rowhouse and triple-decker. In addition to supplying real innovation to the market and policy-makers, the housing studios are yet another manifestation of Northeastern University's commitment to urban engagement.

A professional kabaddi player from Canada will be sentenced in October for his role in a cocaine-smuggling conspiracy.
Davinder Singh of British Columbia pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to conspiring to purchase and resell 187 pounds of the drug in Canada.
Singh's guilty plea comes after Thai Hoang Nguyen, also of British Columbia, pleaded guilty last month in the case. Two others are awaiting trial.
Prosecutors say DEA agents seized $1.2 million in cash the men intended to use to buy cocaine from an undercover agent in Bakersfield.
Singh faces 10 years to life, plus a $4 million fine.
Kabaddi is a team wrestling sport popular in India and southeast Asia. The 41-year-old Singh worked as both a player and coach in the sport.
