So much has changed for Casey Carroll since he last stood on the Duke sideline during the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament.
The former All-American defenseman is now a husband, father, former U.S. Army Ranger, combat veteran and graduate student hoping to return for a final unused year of eligibility. A knee injury prevented that this year, meaning the 28-year-old Carroll — the last active member of the 2006 team scarred by false rape allegations against three players — will be here for Duke's NCAA opener against Loyola of Maryland on Sunday to feel close to the sport he hopes to play again next year.
"I think it just lets me know that the passion is all still there," Carroll said. "I don't think it ever leaves you."
Carroll first arrived on campus nearly a decade ago as a freshman from Baldwin, N.Y. He was part of Duke's rise to national-power status by reaching the 2005 NCAA final, its fall a year later when the later-discredited rape scandal led to the cancellation of the second half of the season, then the climb back to the 2007 championship game.
The Blue Devils lost to Johns Hopkins by one goal in both NCAA finals.
Carroll graduated in 2007 and enlisted in the Army's 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and served about 4 1/2 years with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He avoided serious injury, was honorably discharged in February 2012 and re-enrolled at Duke for the fall semester.
He practiced with the team through fall camp before suffering a torn knee ligament in January for the second time in his career, the first coming four games into the 2006 season.
Still, Carroll said he feels like he's "playing with house money."
"I don't think about any unfinished business," Carroll said. "It was never about that sort of stuff for me because I'm just so proud of the time I did have at Duke the first time. ... It's just about coming back here and having a blast and getting 40-something new friends that I hadn't had."
While recovering from surgery, Carroll occasionally helped at practice and offered observations from the sidelines during home games and trips to nearby rival North Carolina.
"With the life experience he brings to the table, when you look over your shoulder and see him there, you're kind of reassured," senior midfielder Greg DeLuca said. "He has such a calming presence because he's never rattled out there. This has got to be the most fun thing in the world especially after some of the things that he's done."
Carroll is attending Duke's Fuqua School of Business through help from the GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon Program, which covers costs beyond the GI Bill's limits.
He's also juggling family demands. He and his wife, Erin, welcomed son Casey Patrick last September and they're expecting a second child this November.
The NCAA typically gives athletes four years to compete within a 5-year window, though the NCAA granted a fifth year of eligibility to non-seniors from the 2006 team to replace the year cut short by the scandal.
The clock paused during Carroll's enlistment then restarted when he returned to school. Duke will petition the NCAA this summer for a sixth-year waiver allowing Carroll to play a final season in 2014.
"If (the knee injury) is the worst thing that happens to him in life — knock on wood — and he doesn't get his next year of eligibility and this was the end of it, then we'd be happy," said Erin Carroll, a former Duke soccer player. "Because there's a lot of people that aren't as lucky."
If the request is approved, coach John Danowski — whose first year here was Carroll's last — said Carroll can take as long as needed to decide on returning to the team amid school and family demands.
"Whatever he wants," Danowski said. "He's earned that."
Either way, Carroll has loved being back and hopes there's more memorable moments to come.
"You don't realize how much fun and what a great experience it is until it's gone," Carroll said. "Being that one in a million people that gets to come back, then you fully understand all you've been through, all you've ever worked for and how great that was. And to get to do that one thing that you love so much one more time, you can't instill that in a 22-year-old kid or an 18-year-old."

Express Scripts (NASDAQ: ESRX) is one of North America's top five Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) companies measured by prescriptions sold.[1] Express Scripts' clients are health insurers and employers which hire ESRX to manage prescription drug benefit plans for their members and employees. [2] In addition to administering prescription drug plans, ESRX negotiates volume discounts with pharmacies and drug companies on behalf of its clients, and sells drugs at a discount through its mail-order pharmacy.
The merger of CVS and Caremark has increased competition in the PBM market.[3] The merger will likely increase CVS's consumer base. ESRX's revenues will be significantly negatively impacted if CVS increases its consumer base by luring away clients or potential clients from Express Scripts. [4] The Medicare Part D law helps individuals pay for prescription drugs through private providers and has increased the competitive landscape of the PBM market. [5]
ESRX benefits from Baby Boomer aging, who require more medical services as they get older.[6] Also, the key patent expirations on widely used drugs benefit PBMs because they can save money when generic substitutes become available. This is especially true for ESRX, which has the highest generic dispensing rate of all PBMs.[7]
Express Scripts is one of North Americas largest PBMs measured by prescriptions sold. More than 50 million Americans rely on Express Scripts for information and treatment to stay healthy.
In 2009, Express Scripts generated a net income of $827.6 million on revenues of $24.75 billion. This represents a 6.6% increase in net income on a 12.6% increase in total revenues from 2008, when the company earned $776.1 million on revenues of $21.98 billion.
ESRX clients are not the recipients of the drugs it distributes, but rather health maintenance organizations (HMOs), health insurers, third-party administrators, employers, union-sponsored benefit plans, workers compensation plans, primary care physicians, renal dialysis clinics, and government health programs. The business-to-business model spares ESRX the need to market to millions of customers. It also makes the company more vulnerable to the purchasing decisions of individual clients, which each represent a larger portion of sales.
The company has a diverse client base with no single client accounting for over 10% of consolidated revenues the past three years. The top ten retail pharmacy chains account for only 56% of the retail stores in ESRX'S largest retail network. [11] PBM clients generally have a three-year contract, so just one-third of its clients are at risk in renegotiations each year.[12]
ESRX's PBM segment offers the following other services to its clients:
The Medicare Part D program lets retirees choose their own prescription medication plans. This has the potential to reduce the number of end users for ESRX's services if employers stop providing their own PBM coverage through ESRX to retirees and instead let retirees pick their own plans. ESRX also faces competition from other PBMs and other healthcare companies, some of which have units that specialize in these Medicare Part D plans. [14] There is also a longer term risk that Medicare might expand and engulf some of the services ESRX provides. This has become more likely as polls suggest that November's elections will yield a House of Representatives, Senate, and White House all under Democratic control.
The PBM sector is positioned to benefit as the aging "Baby-Boomer" population increases the demand for medical services. [15] In 2025, 35 million Americans are expected to be aged between 65 and 74 years old with 26 million over age 75. [16]
According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, there is a direct correlation between prescription drug use, and spending, age, and the prevalence of chronic, acute, and complex health issues. [17] ESRX will likely benefit from a larger client base and more claims as more people will need pharmaceuticals and as pharmaceutical use per patient increases.
Wal-Mart has also begun competing with retail pharmacies as it seeks to increase its market share of pharmaceutical sales. On May 5, 2008, Wal-Mart announced phase III of its $4 prescription drug plan; in addition to offering a month's supply of generic drugs for $4 as it had before, Wal-Mart will offer $4 over-the-counter drugs and a 90-day supply of around 350 generic drugs for only $10. However, Wal-Mart offers only a limited selection of drugs, typically, older, generic drugs like ibuprofen, and not all of the drugs that ESRX supplies its customers. This limited offering, Wal-Mart's lack of home-delivery pharmacies, and other strong barriers to entry have prevented Wal-Mart from competing much with ESRX.[18] The other barriers to entry include, but are not limited to, formulary expertise and large networks of retail pharmacies.[19] Still, Wal-Mart's massive buying power and retail stores would create serious competition if it seeks to enter the market against ESRX.
States have tried to prohibit health plans from using economic incentives to persuade their members to use home delivery pharmacies. Some states also require that health plans (like those provided by PBMs) cover specific drugs if they are prescribed by a physician. This type of legislation raises costs for PBMs.
Lawmakers and regulators are also considering, or have adopted, changes that would weaken ESRX's ability to negotiate discounts from its network of third-party pharmacies. For example, states have enacted "most-favored nation" legislation that requires pharmacies to give the state the same lowest price it makes available to third-party plans. These requirements hamper ESRX's ability to take advantage of cost savings when it buys drugs in bulk.[20]
The state of Maine and the District of Columbia have enacted statues that declare PBMs to be a fiduciaries with respect to their end users. This means that they must act in the best interests of their clients; for instance, in Maine, ESRX must disclose to its clients the rebates it receives from drug manufacturers. Residents of the states had complained that PBMs were keeping rebates rather than passing them on to their customers. [21]
As a PBM, ESRX operates in a competitive market against three types of competitors. One type is the independent PBM, such as MedcoHealth Solutions or Catalyst RX. The second type is the PBM owned by a managed-care organization, such as Wellpoint Pharmacy Management or Cigna. And the final type is the PBM owned by a retail pharmacy chain, such as CVS CareMark or Long's Drug Stores.

Dangerous 'Knockout game' is making national media
Two months after a homeless man in Hoboken was killed by a blow to the head, allegedly by three Jersey City youths playing the "knockout game," the national media have been running stories about the dangerous game. The object is to render a stranger unconscious with one blow, and the victims are dying in cities across the country.
Some media reports say the game has racial undertones, and has victimized people of particular races or religions.
In late September, three Jersey City juveniles were arrested in connection with the attack in Hoboken. Surveillance video from various points in town showed the boys getting on the light rail at Second Street to return to Jersey City after the act.
A surgeon in Syracuse told the International Business Times, "These kids don't see the victims who never wake up. They don't see the people on ventilators or the people who die from bed sores or pneumonias that eat their lungs out because they can't breathe. They don't see the kids long forgotten by their friends on the streets, the ones who've lost the ability to wipe the corners of their mouths when they drool."
The game has also been called "One Hitter Quitter," a report said.

Jersey City teacher seeks donations for typhoon victims
New Jersey artist and Jersey City art teacher Daniel Marck has created FAST FOR FILIPINOS (FFF), a grassroots, one-day event that will raise and distribute money to those in the Philippines who have been adversely affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). The deadly storm has claimed over 4,000 lives and leaves an estimated 1.9 million people homeless. Monday, November 25, 2013 has been established as Fast for Filipinos Day.
On Thursday, Nov. 28, many Americans will sit down to a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner with their families. As a sign of gratefulness and charity, FFF is asking that local citizens fast for one meal on November 25 and donate what they would have spent on that meal to typhoon relief. Participants can donate online: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fast-for-filipinos. The funds will be directed to ABS-CBN Foundation International (AFI), a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged Filipino families in the Philippines and around the world. AFI is a committed advocate of public service and accomplishes its mission through supporting the programs of ABS-CBN Foundation in the Philippines. AFI is currently distributing relief funds and aiding in the rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
Marck enlisted the help of Cedar Grove creative director Andrea Jennings to create a logo and spearhead the publicity and social media campaign for the Fast For Filipinos One Day Campaign. Jennings and Marck also co-created a charity event, The George Miller Art Show, several years ago to raise money for art scholarships in their hometown of North Arlington, NJ.
Al Barsky of The Barsky Gallery in Hoboken, NJ will house a new piece of art created by Daniel Marck to create local interest in the campaign and the pair will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to AFI. The piece is inspired by the tragedy and his will to help those affected.

Feed A Child
The charity Feed A Child were responsible for one of the most racially controversial adverts ever.
The ad, that was met with outrage, shows a black child being petted and fed treats like a pet dog by a rich white woman.
According to the creators of the ad, the message they wanted to convey was that the average domestic dog eats better than millions of children.
Steers Big Five
This ad toys with the stereotype that Asians eat everything with a special penchant for endangered species.
The ad for Steers' Big 5 Burgers shows a mixed group of foreign tourists on a game drive.
An obnoxious Asian tourist claims that he has eaten each of the big five African animals.
Nando's Diversity
Nando's is known for their brilliant ads and for their tongue-in-cheek courting of controversy.
With xenophobic attacks in the country increasing at the time, Nando's asked what the country would look like without "foreigners".
With many people losing their lives and property in the attacks, the advertisement was seen by some as being in bad taste.
SABC 1 Ya Mampela
This is a banned commercial created by the South African Broadcasting Cooperation (SABC).
First aired close to a decade ago, the ad reverses the socio-economic conditions of white and black people.
As you watch it, think about the stereotyping and the reasons people of all races may find this offensive.
Ford Bantam
When there was massive media coverage around corruption relating to BEE, this funny Ford Bantam ad was released. It's a perfect example of getting it right – perfect timing, characterisation, and conceptualisation. What do you think?

Terry Johnson, 54 - April 18, 2007
Terry Lee Johnson, 54, of Farnam, died Sunday, April 8, 2007, at the Nebraska Heart Institute of Lincoln.
Services were held on Thursday, April 12, at the United Methodist Church of Farnam with the Rev. Tess Hufford officiating. Burial was at the Farnam Cemetery.
Johnson was born on Dec. 2, 1952, at Fort Dodge, IA, to LuVerne and Betty Young Johnson. When he was 2, the family moved to California where he received his education at Orange County.
He had moved back to Nebraska and was united in marriage to Lowenn Cook at Litchfield, and later moved back to King City, CA, where a son, Terry II was born. He worked in the oil fields and was a certified welder on the pipelines.
Johnson and his wife moved back to Overton where another son, Kurtis was born, at Sargent. He worked for New Holland in Lexington until it closed. He and his wife then purchased Johnson Bait and Tackle south of Lexington. The couple divorced in 1984.
He married Marlene (Kramer) Green on Aug. 10, 1985. He continued to operate the bait shop and worked for Monroe Auto in Cozad. He later worked for Valley Sales as a welder, a skill he enjoyed, the family said, until his health failed.
Johnson sold his bait shop and managed the Bridgestreet Liquor Store for seven years until it was closed. He then worked for Goshen Rubber in Gothenburg after moving to Farnam. He was employed with Parker Tech Seal, formerly Goshen Rubber, until the time of his death.
?He enjoyed hunting and fishing, said family members, and in his spare time he reloaded shells for other people as well as himself and made shot for trap shooting out of old wheel weights.
?Johnson was preceded in death by: his parents, LuVerne and Betty; his mother and father-in-law, Leonard and Joy Kramer of Stapleton.
?Survivors include: his wife, Marlene "Charley" of Farnam; six children—Michael (Penny) Green of Paxton, Georgia (Jeff) Karel of Cozad, Terry II Johnson of Brighton, TN, Timothy Johnson of Dracut, MA, Donna Johnson (Brown) of Nashua, NH, and Kurtis Johnson of Memphis, TN; 10 grandchildren—Darsi Jones, Lacey Green, Taryn Johnson, Quinton Karel, Xavier Brown, Alayna Brown, Nathan Karel, Braden Johnson, Terry III and Stacie Green; a brother, Jr. (Deb) Johnson of Gothenburg; brothers and sister-in-laws—Viola Kramer of Axtell, Willie (Virginia) Kramer of Kearney, Linda (Ron) Crisman of Gothenburg, Florence Sims of Mesquite, TX, Gloria (Steve) Shingleton of Albuquerque, NM, Lynette (Steve) Krab of Paxton, Leonard Laverne (Kathy) Kramer of Stapleton, William Kramer of Dallas, TX, Tina (Rick) Terry of Magna, UT; numerous nieces and nephews.

© ® The Nobel Foundation
IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
Almost without exception, small island states have been shown to be at great
risk from projected impacts of climate change, particularly sea-level rise.
The projected global rate of rise of 5 mm yr-1 (±2-9
mm yr-1 ) is two to four times greater than the rate experienced
in the previous 100 years (IPCC, 1998). Many of these islands rarely exceed
3-4 m above present mean sea level; even on the higher islands, most of
the settlements, economic activity, infrastructure, and services are located
at or near the coast.
Reliable instrumental records indicate that on average, Caribbean islands have
experienced an increase in temperature exceeding 0.5°C since 1900. During
the same period, there has been a significant increase in rainfall variability,
with mean annual total rainfall declining by approximately 250 mm. For Pacific
islands, the post-1900 temperature increase has been slightly lower than in
the Caribbean: less than 0.5°C. In the case of rainfall, no clear trend
emerges from the record, which shows decadal fluctuations of ±200 mm
and 50-100 mm for mean annual and mean seasonal totals, respectively (IPCC,
Given the strong influence of the ocean on the climate of islands, and based
on projected warming of the oceans (1-2°C for the Caribbean Sea and
Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans) with a doubling of carbon dioxide (CO2),
small islands in these regions are expected to continue to experience moderate
warming in the future. Under a similar scenario, mean rainfall intensity also
is projected to increase by 20-30% over the tropical oceans, where most
small island states are located. However, a decrease in mean summer precipitation
over the Mediterranean Sea, where the small islands of Malta and Cyprus are
located, is projected (IPCC, 1998).
Based on these projections, certain marine and coastal ecosystems are most
likely to be adversely affected. Coralsmany species of which currently
exist near the upper limits of their tolerance to temperatureare projected
to experience more frequent bleaching episodes as a result of elevated sea surface
temperatures (SSTs). Bleaching therefore will pose a distinct threat to the
productivity and survival of these valuable ecosystems (Wilkinson, 1996; Brown,
1997a,b; CARICOMP, 1997; Woodley et al., 1997). On some islands, mangroves
also are expected to be threatened by the impacts of climate change. Where the
rate of sedimentation is slower than the projected rate of sea-level rise and
where mangroves cannot naturally adapt and migrate landward, the vulnerability
of these ecosystems will increase (IPCC, 1996, 1998). In some cases, the natural
resilience of these ecosystems already has been impaired by anthropogenic stresses;
thus, their capacity to cope with an additional stressor such as climate change
will be further compromised.
Sea-level rise poses by far the greatest threat to small island states relative
to other countries. Although the severity of the threat will vary from island
to island, it is projected that beach erosion and coastal land loss, inundation,
flooding, and salinization of coastal aquifers and soils will be widespread.
Moreover, protection costs for settlement, critical infrastructure, and economic
activities that are at risk from sea-level rise will be burdensome for many
small island states. Similarly, tourismthe leading revenue earner in many
statesis projected to suffer severe disruption as a consequence of adverse
impacts expected to accompany sea-level rise (Teh, 1997; IPCC, 1998).
Small island states are by no means a homogeneous group of countries. They
vary by geography; physical, climatic, social, political, cultural, and ethnic
character; and stage of economic development. Yet they tend to share several
common characteristics that not only identify them as a distinct group but underscore
their overall vulnerability in the context of sustainable development (Maul,
1996; Leatherman, 1997). These common characterists include the following:

The Name Is Bond
"I used to be an F-cup," said Michelle Bond, one of England's finest. "And they just grew and grew, and every time I got measured, they seemed to have grown. Either that or my underwear is shrinking! You know, I generally don't know where it has come from. As my body has kind of grown a bit, they've grown with me. "The only thing that's different between now and years ago is that I don't party as much. I used to be stick-thin, and my boobs weren't that big because I partied a lot, but now, I don't know. I haven't done anything to them. They've just grown. They seem to still be growing. They haven't stopped growing since they started. I'd like to think it will stop soon! Otherwise I'll be walking along with a wheelbarrow. Kicking them along in front of me."

Total Sex With Lana Ivans
Total sex. That's what Lana Ivans promised and that's what the Romanian honey delivered. She has a doll-like appearance and eager-to-please nature and an unreal, smokin' sexy body. Lana has the same kind of personality as many other European SCORE Girls. Feisty, spunky, fun-loving, energetic, with the same mischievous glint in the eyes. And Lana smiles a satisfied, happy smile when the special sauce cums her way. Her Euro stunt-dick did a fine job of work boning her. Lana claimed that eating corn stimulates breast growth. She was backed up in this claim by another Romanian bra-buster, Arianna Sinn. It seems that this belief in the boob power of corn is a Romanian thing. Meanwhile, Sophia Mae, a Czech, said beer does the job. Lana now does solo webcam modeling.

In some foreign countries – kafir (non-Muslim) countries – there is the well-known custom of April Fools, which happens on the first day of April. Some Muslims are imitating them in this, thinking that it is permissible to tell lies on this day… what is your opinion on this belief and on this custom?
Lying is not permissible at all, at any time. And it is not permissible to imitate the kuffar (non-Muslims) and to be like them, on this day or on any other, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them."
And Allah knows best.

Express Yourself With Our Custom Arrested Development Emoji Set
No, the emoji that come with your smartphone are just not enough.
After this weekend, when Arrested Development finally hits Netflix, you might need some new language to properly express yourself, because no amount of creative punctuation or standard emoji can really help you talk to your friends about the Bluths. That's why we've created our own set of Arrested Development emoji that we hope will inspire some Apple engineer to get working on. Then one day we will all be able to express *Lucille Bluth wink* or *Tobias as a Blue Man* without using our words.
And how they might be used in real life? To harass your friends.
Can you name 'em all? Are we missing any obvious favorites?

CHICAGO – Chicago resident Julie Falco eats three marijuana brownies a day, her chosen method of using cannabis to control her pain from multiple sclerosis.
For her, marijuana works better and has fewer side effects than the prescription drugs that left her depressed and in a fog, she said. She's tired of breaking the law, but doesn't want to give up cannabis.
Falco hopes Illinois lawmakers will remember her story as they consider a three-year pilot program to temporarily legalize medical marijuana.
"Let's get this done," Falco said. "People are dying in pain and they need an option."
Bill sponsor Rep. Lou Lang, a Skokie Democrat, wants the House to vote on the bill Wednesday and thinks political momentum is on his side. Freeport Republican Rep. Jim Sacia opposes the bill, but acknowledges Lang may have the votes to pass it.
With 18 states and the District of Columbia now allowing the use of medical marijuana – and two states, Washington and Colorado, recently approving the use of recreational marijuana – the time may be right for passage in Illinois, Lang said. Lawmakers in the past told him they favor the bill but couldn't vote for it because of political reasons, he said.
Now, some lame ducks can vote for the bill without consequences, and others saw the lack of fallout for those who voted for the bill in the spring. A few fence-sitters could give him the 60 votes he needs, Lang said.
"I ran down the roll call about 10 times just today," Lang said Tuesday. "It's hovering around 60. I could be a couple short. I could be a few over."
Sacia, a former FBI agent, predicts the law will lead recreational drug users to seek out friendly doctors who are willing to say they have a qualifying illness.
"I just see it as a tremendous mistake," said Sacia, who plans to speak against the bill today.
"Illinois has proven itself to be increasingly liberal. I don't have any illusions we can change people's minds. I recognize the momentum is in Rep. Lang's favor."
The bill, if passed, would be the most restrictive medical marijuana law in the nation, said Morgan Fox of the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C., a group that tracks legislation and supports legalizing marijuana and regulating the drug like alcohol.
The measure "would create a system in which patients could only acquire their medicine from licensed and regulated nonprofit dispensaries, and home cultivation is not permitted," Fox said in an email. "The qualifying conditions are extremely narrow compared to other states and are explicit, as opposed to some states that include provisions for more generalized symptoms."
As the Illinois bill is written, a patient would have to get written certification from their regular doctor and be diagnosed with one of about 30 medical conditions, which include cancer, glaucoma, HIV, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, "agitation of Alzheimer's disease" and several pain syndromes. Also on the list: fibromyalgia, a condition with an unknown cause and a lack of definitive tests, and nail-patella syndrome, a rare inherited disorder that can cause pain while walking.
Lang said the list of conditions wasn't built strictly on medical evidence, but also from conversations with patients and doctors – anecdotal information about marijuana helping with symptoms.
"If it were fully up to me, I would leave it up to a doctor, but California has made a mess of their medical marijuana law" allowing people with vague symptoms to obtain the drug, Lang said.
The Institute of Medicine reviewed the scientific evidence for medical marijuana in a 1999 report, which recommended more research.
But the report also said the effects of THC and other components of marijuana on anxiety reduction, appetite stimulation, nausea reduction and pain relief might be helpful for "particular conditions, such as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and AIDS wasting." It also warned that smoking marijuana could be dangerous and could possibly increase the risk of "cancer, lung damage, and poor pregnancy outcomes."
Other safeguards of the bill include a ban on doctors having financial ties to nonprofit marijuana dispensaries, guarantees that employers could still enforce drug-free policies and no requirement for insurance coverage.
Patients would be limited to 2.5 ounces every two weeks, which Falco considers a minimal amount for someone like her.
"It's the most restrictive bill anywhere," Falco said. To win support from doubters, the bill was amended to meet their concerns, she said.
If the bill passes in the House, it would go to the Senate where another, less restrictive bill passed in 2010. Illinois Senate President John Cullerton has been a longtime supporter of efforts to decriminalize medical marijuana, said Cullerton spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon.
Falco hopes lawmakers will "do the right thing."
"People ask me if I get high. I don't know what that means," Falco said. "High? What that means to me is pain relief. That's my high. I get pain relief."

Orton Plantation is on its way to becoming the preserve billionaire Louis Moore Bacon envisioned when he purchased the historic property in 2010.
Orton Plantation is on its way to becoming the preserve billionaire Louis Moore Bacon envisioned when he purchased the historic property in 2010.
Bacon is working to return the landscape to a pre-20th century condition and opened the gates of the property Thursday to members of the media to show the progress that has been made at the plantation.
The property was recently listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is listed as a significant heritage area by the N.C.Natural Heritage program. Bacon has also entered into a Safe Harbor Agreement with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission that establishes the 8,400-acre property as a safe habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.
Bacon, who was on hand Thursday, said being able to restore the land is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
"It's an incredible opportunity," he said. "It's something I dreamed to do."
Bacon is a direct descendant of Roger Moore, who in 1725 built the original Orton residence,
Bacon said that as a child he had visited the property, which borders N.C. 133 and the Cape Fear River, when it was owned by the Sprunt family and run as a tourist destination.
He added that he would not be opening the doors to residents of the area like the property's former owners did.
"It may not be open to residents, but instead available for different groups," he said. He said his foundation is working to identify educational and cultural opportunities on the property.
But for now, the main focus continues to be on the restoration efforts.
There is still plenty of work to be done, said Dillon Epp, property manager, even as the slow-growing longleaf pine begins to show signs of dominating the landscape and native grasses begin to flourish. Over 90 million acres of longleaf pine once existed in the Southeastern United States, but only three percent remain.
The forest is most healthy when fires regularly sweep through the underbrush, and so far the forest has only been burned once.
"It's going to take a long time to restore," Epp said.
The biggest project at hand will be the restoration of the signature rice crops that bordered the historic plantation house. Bacon and his team no longer have any impediments to restoring the rice fields, with all of the permits being recently obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers and state agencies.
With permits in hand, crews will soon begin restoring the riverfront dyke and the water flooding system used in the 1700s will be replicated to maintain authenticity. The nearby 5-mile-long Orton Pond will be used to provide fresh water for the rice fields.
Epp said he has no idea how much rice the 320 acres will yield at first. Rice was last harvested on the property in 1931.
"You don't really know until you get into it," Epp said,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Daniel Ashe, who received a personal tour of the property from Bacon Thursday, said Orton is a good example of a public-private partnership to restore a habitat.
He added the rice fields also restore one of the iconic crops in North Carolina's history. In the Cape Fear Region, more than 60rice planatations existed.
"And with the wetlands (rice crops) restored, we will see a myriad of migrating birds here," he said. "It serves the larger good of the community with the participation of the landowner."
Bacon, a hedge fund manager, lives primarily in New York. He said he had no plans to make Orton his home.

STOCKTON - As Justin Davis signed his letter-of-intent with USC, Lincoln High coach Brian Gray called USC assistant coach Clay Helton, put him on speakerphone and quickly handed the phone to Joselyn Davis, Justin's mom.
STOCKTON - As Justin Davis signed his letter-of-intent with USC, Lincoln High coach Brian Gray called USC assistant coach Clay Helton, put him on speakerphone and quickly handed the phone to Joselyn Davis, Justin's mom.
"I think he's signing papers for another college," she said. "I think the paper says Washington."
Her teasing spurred laughter from Helton and everyone attending the signing.
A process that began with USC's courting of Davis his junior year and took an important - though non-binding - step with his verbal commitment in May became official on Wednesday, but it was a technicality.
The Lincoln running back, The Record's 2011 Player of the Year and first-team All-Area selection in 2012, has done everything to show his commitment to USC.
In fact, he'll make his debut in Troy next month when he begins college early. He leaves on Jan. 10 and starts classes on Jan. 14.
Davis has earned enough credits to graduate early. He still will attend prom, the senior trip and walk with his classmates at graduation, but he'll do so as a college freshman.
"One of the reasons I graduated early was so I can get acclimated to everything beforehand and start going hard in fall camp," Davis said. "I'll already be going in academics and be ready to play football."
Gray said the two first talked about the possibility, under encouragement but not pressure from USC , last spring.
"What he said was he wanted the option to have that option," Gray said. "When you start looking at the depth chart, and looking at the situation and looking at the other recruits coming in, he started to say, 'I'll have a chance to get there early. I'll get six months on what's going on, learn the playbook, find the weight room and be on campus.' I think he realized that could be a big advantage for him."
Davis approached the summer with the thought of graduating early but did not make the commitment until fall.
"I was in between the lines of it," he said. "Once I said I was really going to, it happened. It was a stretch. I had to put in a lot of extra credits, take several extra classes. I took 10 credits of economics over the summer. It was a lot, but it was all worth it."
Mom wasn't so convinced at first, but she came around.
"It's been a very trying semester," she said. "But when Justin puts his mind to something, he will do it.
"We always knew he could do it, but he had to do it in his own way and make us crazy, make us stressed, make us worried that he's not going to do it. But deep down inside we knew he would do it."
His father, Eric Davis, said the biggest advantage may be the early impression he's left on the USC coaching staff.
"They know they got this guy who made a commitment to get out of school early and did it," he said. "And there was never any question he'd do it. Done deal."

. Scientists and inventors such as Joe DeSimone will be keeping an eye on the budget deal-making in Washington over the next month, because if negotiators fail to steer the nation away from the fiscal cliff, automatic spending cuts will chop back federal support for scientific research.
"The lifeblood of this country is research and the economic development that flows from that," said DeSimone, an inventor with his name on more than 130 patents and an entrepreneur who has launched several spinoff companies. "This economy is driven by innovation."
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans are negotiating to try to head off the so-called fiscal cliff – the end of Bush-era tax cuts and the beginning of automatic spending cuts negotiated during the 2011 debt-ceiling debate. Experts say the cliff could mean a new recession. Scientists say its impact could stunt innovation and the future of science in the United States.
Indeed, federally supported science, research and innovation also has resulted in many of the benefits society takes for granted, such as vaccines and lasers, said Steven Fluharty, senior vice provost for research at the University of Pennsylvania, speaking at a recent briefing on Capitol Hill.
DeSimone, who holds chaired professorships in chemistry at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and chemical engineering at N.C. State University, said the possibilities are so catastrophic that political leaders will have to work out a deal.
"We'll take a big hit if the research side gets hammered," said DeSimone, whose work involves applying lithographic fabrication technology from the computer industry to design new medicines and vaccines.
His lab alone typically receives about $2.5 million annually in federal research funding from institutions such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, compared to about $1.5 million in state and private support.
The automatic spending cuts would reduce federal research and development funds by $57.5 billion over the next five years, a reduction of 8.4 percent, according to a study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The impact could be wide ranging, from cancer research to the development of new energy. It could also reduce the recruitment and training of the next generation of scientists.
California, with its large university system and leading role in defense, energy and space exploration research, is the largest recipient of federal research dollars. It would also lose more than any state – $11.3 billion in the first five years of the cutbacks, according to the study. Other states high on the list for federal research funding include Texas, Pennsylvania, Washington and Florida.
"It would absolutely devastate the American scientific community exactly at a time when other countries are investing tremendously," Alan Lesher, chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and executive publisher of its journal, Science, said at the Capitol Hill briefing.
A report by the group said that even without the automatic cuts, spending caps already have begun to depress federal research and development funding. Estimated federal funding for research is currently at its lowest point since 2002, adjusted for inflation.
In the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, the federal research budget is a huge economic engine. With nearly $546 million in federal research and development funding in 2010, UNC-Chapel Hill ranked ninth in the country. With $514 million, Duke University in Durham, a few miles down the road, was 13th.
Meanwhile, North Carolina State in Raleigh is the only university in the country with two National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers. Together, the three campuses formed the backbone of Research Triangle Park, home to large biotechnology, pharmaceutical and information technology companies.
But other science hubs around the country also would suffer if Congress and the White House can't agree on a way back from the cliff.
"There is hope, but at this time we must be prepared in case this hits as scheduled in January," University of Missouri Vice Chancellor for Research Robert Duncan said in an email to faculty last week.
The university estimates that it could lose about $16.7 million per year in federal research grants, or 8.4 percent of its 2011 federal research awards of $196.6 million.
In the Pacific Northwest, the University of Washington received just over $1 billion in federal research grants in 2011, more than any other public university every year since 1974. Automatic cuts would create problems for faculty members seeking funds to maintain their active research programs, but they'd particularly create difficulties for scientists at the beginning of their careers, Mary Lidstrom, the university's vice provost for research, said in an interview.
Funding difficulties already discourage graduate students from pursuing careers in academia and research, she said, adding "If that situation becomes worse, I think the impact on the future of the country in terms of our innovation workforce will be devastating."
Lidstrom said she and others at the school are concerned that the first funding to get cut would be undergraduate research, an important means of mentoring young people in science, technology, engineering and math. About a quarter of the university's undergraduate students have part-time jobs working on research projects.
The budget cuts also would hit the nation's federal research and development centers. Among them: the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore national labs in California; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash.; Idaho National Laboratory; Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois; and the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses in San Antonio, Texas.
DeSimone said he was cautiously optimistic that fiscal cliff could be averted.
"I think level heads will prevail and this part of the budget will be protected," he said. "That's my hope, anyway."

Inovio Pharmaceuticals to Initiate Clinical Trial for its Hepatitis C Therapeutic Vaccine (INO-8000) Later this Year
Phase I/IIa Trial Follows Preclinical Study Demonstrating for First Time that a Multi-Antigen HCV Vaccine Can Generate Potent T-Cell Response in Liver
Jan 09, 2013, 04:00 EST
BLUE BELL, Pa., Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INO) and its development partner VGX International, Inc. (KSE: 011000) will move Inovio's hepatitis C (HCV) DNA vaccine into a phase I/IIa clinical trial by the end of 2013. This advancement is based on outstanding results of a preclinical study which demonstrated for the first time that a multi-antigen SynCon® HCV vaccine can generate robust T-cell responses not only in the blood but, more importantly, in the liver, an organ known to supress T-cell activity. VGX International is funding all preclinical and clinical development.
In preparation for entering clinical trials with its HCV vaccine (INO-8000), Inovio has completed manufacturing of its multi-antigen HCV vaccine and is performing IND (Investigational New Drug application)-enabling toxicity testing in animals. INO-8000 is a SynCon HCV therapeutic vaccine targeting NS3/4A, NS4B, and NS5A proteins of HCV. INO-8000 was designed with Inovio's SynCon process to broadly cover HCV genotypes 1a and 1b, the types that have been most difficult to treat with drug therapies.
It is estimated that more than 5 million people in the United States are infected with hepatitis C, and perhaps as many as 200 million around the world. This makes HCV one of the greatest public health threats of this century.
HCV vaccine research to date has mostly focused on one area of the virus (the NS3/4A proteins) to induce T-cell responses; however, there has been little research aimed at elucidating whether vaccines targeting proteins other than NS3/4A can induce potent T-cell responses within the liver. In this study, Inovio and its collaborators developed SynCon antigen constructs that targeted three other areas of the HCV virus (NS4B, NS5A and NS5B) and then demonstrated that each vaccine construct expressed its respective protein and that all three constructs induced potent HCV-specific T-cells in mice.
Prior research has also identified that a successful HCV vaccine must be able to induce not only strong HCV-specific T-cell responses that target several components of the virus but that these cells must migrate to the liver and remain activated. In this study, Inovio researchers observed in the liver not only NS4B-, NS5A- and NS5B-specific CD4+ and CD8+ (or killer T-cell) responses, but also a large pool of vaccine-specific T-cells. This pool of vaccine-specific T-cells was shown to be fully functional in an environment in which T-cell activity is usually suppressed. In fact, using a transient HCV infection model in mice, therapeutic immunization with INO-8000 was able to clear HCV antigens from the liver, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of this vaccine.
The pioneering preclinical research appears in the peer-reviewed journal Plos One in an article entitled: "Induction of Intrahepatic HCV NS4B, NS5A and NS5B Specific Cellular Immune Responses following Peripheral Immunization."
In addition to moving forward with INO-8000, Inovio has a long-standing partnership with ChronTech Pharma, which is developing its NS3/4A-based HCV DNA vaccine using Inovio's proprietary delivery technology. Interim results of ChronTech's open-label, randomized phase II trial are expected later in the first quarter of this year.
Dr. J. Joseph Kim, Inovio's President and CEO, said, "Inovio is a leader in developing therapeutic vaccines for HCV and HBV. The major hurdle to developing therapeutic vaccines for these ailments has been the inability to generate a functional T-cell response in the liver. The fact that our preclinical model demonstrated functional T-cells in the liver in this published study suggests that INO-8000 has the capacity to clear that hurdle. There have been important recent drug therapy advances for HCV; however, a safe and effective therapeutic vaccine could play a vital role in enhancing the potency of HCV treatments, especially for genotype 1, while achieving the desired goal of eliminating the use of interferon/ribavirin and their undesirable side effects."
About Hepatitis C and Inovio's SynCon® Vaccines
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting primarily the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection is often asymptomatic, but chronic infection can lead to liver failure or liver cancer. Approximately 80% of people who become infected with hepatitis C virus develop chronic infection.
The major obstacle to HCV vaccine development has been the extensive genetic variation between different strains and genotypes, and even the significant antigenic variation among virus within individual patients. In addition, the absence of a clearly defined protective immune response after natural infection has historically complicated the prospects of developing a vaccine against HCV infection.
However, unlike traditional vaccines constrained by the paradigm of matching a preventive or therapeutic vaccine to a single pathogen strain or strains, Inovio's SynCon vaccines are based on genetic code for a specific antigen from multiple strains of the target pathogen. Thus, while the SynCon antigens may not be perfectly (100%) matched to the pathogenic strains, they are designed to protect against multiple existing strains as well as changing strains of a virus. Extensive preclinical data has validated their ability to protect against many strains of a disease; initial human data for our influenza vaccine has also provided evidence of this capability.

HARRINGTON PARK, N.J. (AP) — Police say a New Jersey boy temporarily lost consciousness when he was hit in the chest with a ball during a youth baseball game but was quickly revived by a spectator who performed CPR.
Harrington Park police tell The Record (http://bit.ly/10AhlgB) the 8-year-old Northvale boy was sliding into third base Saturday when the ball hit him just above the heart. Witnesses said the boy's eyes rolled back into his head and he stopped breathing.
A woman watching the game came to the boy's aid and soon revived him, and he was conscious and alert when paramedics arrived. The child was flown to a hospital, but further details on his condition were not available.

A Lexington man who served as a public address announcer at Central Davidson High School basketball and softball games was arrested Thursday and charged with possessing child pornography.
A Lexington man who served as a public address announcer at Central Davidson High School basketball and softball games was arrested Thursday and charged with possessing child pornography.
Donald Stuart Koontz, 51, of 503 Queens Drive, was charged with 10 counts of felony disseminating obscenity and 10 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $2,025,000 secured bond and given a court date of Sept. 24 in Lexington District Court.
Vice and narcotics units of the Davidson County Sheriff's Office and Lexington and Thomasville police departments along with members of the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Agency and Department of Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at Koontz' home Thursday, according to a sheriff's office press release. The warrant was for the downloading of child pornography from the residence via the Internet.
The child pornography included children whose ages were estimated to be in the range of 6-14, according to arrest warrants. They indicated the offense dates were between July 9 and Thursday.
During the investigation, detectives seized computers, hard drives and other data storage devices containing numerous pornographic images involving children, the release said.
Sheriff David Grice said he couldn't comment when asked if there was any impact with children locally.
Kevin Hudson, the athletic director at Central Davidson, declined to comment and referred questions to central office administrators.
"Mr. Koontz was a volunteer announcer," Dr. Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools, said. "To my knowledge, he didn't have any immediate contact with students in his volunteer role. That's about all I can say at this time. With these pending charges, we certainly don't want to use him as a volunteer."
Koontz was also a booking agents for officials for recreation, high school and travel sports.
Charles Parnell, director of Davidson County Parks and Recreation, said Koontz is not an employee of Davidson County and has only been a contractor for maintenance work. Parnell said he was unsure if the contractual work would continue after the charges.
A jail spokesman said late Friday afternoon that Koontz remained in the custody of the Davidson County Detention Center. Should he post bond, court documents state these stipulations:
"Do not be in the presence of or associate with in any form, any person/child under the age of 18," the court document reads. "Do not be on the property of any school anywhere at any time. Do not go about the property of any recreation department at any time."

The No. 3 quarterback spot will go to Trent Edwards.
Edwards will make the roster over Mike Kafka, according to two sources close to the situation.
The Eagles made several stabs at trading Kafka, but eventually made his release official.
"In the end, we had to make the difficult decision to let Mike Kafka go," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "Mike is a class act, a student of the game and a great person and I think will have no problem finding a job in the NFL very soon.
"On the other hand, I'm proud of the way Trent Edwards conducted himself since the early days on the offseason workouts. He had to fight for everything he earned this summer. He improved each and every day and made the most of every opportunity."
Kafka, a 2010 fourth round pick, has been dealing with a fractured left hand. In his place, Edwards proved capable of running the offense.
Edwards completes a remarkable turnaround. He showed up at camp in the spring buried on the depth chart. He took hardly any repetitions through most of minicamps and then training camp. But when Kafka went down he took hold of his opportunity and rode it all the way to making the team.
"I always kept my head up and I always believed in my ability to play the position," Edwards said during a conference call. "I always kept in the back of the my mind that this organization brought me in to evaluate me and give me a chance. I didn't get as many chances as I thought I was going to get during practice. I stayed positive. Anything can happen in this league."
Edwards, 28, finished the preseason 54 of 80 for 489 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He said following Thursday's preseason finale against the New York Jets that it was the finest preseason of his career.
Originally drafted by the Bills in 2007, Edwards started in 32 games for Buffalo from 2007-10. He finished the 2010 season with the Jaguars and started one more game. He was not on an NFL roster all of last season, however.
The Eagles signed him in late February, but said soon after that the No. 2 job was Kafka's. The Eagles, though, drafted Nick Foles in the third round and rookie went out and grabbed the backup job from Kafka as his nursed his injury.
Edwards said that he expects the Eagles to go with Foles if Vick gets injured -- even if it were to occur early in the season.
"Right now, all I'm focused on is helping those two guys ahead of me," Edwards said.
Kafka was the Eagles' third quarterback during his first two seasons, but he did back up Vick in two games last season when Vince Young was injured. Kafka jumped in for the injured Vick in Weeks 2 and 3. He performed well against the Falcons, but struggled the next week against the New York Giants.
He did not have a strong camp, but only attempted nine preseason passes before breaking his hand.

ST. LOUIS, Ill. - Facing off against the defending St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion Webster University on Wednesday, the Panthers split the double-header dropping the opener 8-0, and bouncing back with a 2-1 decision in the nightcap. Junior David Massengill shined for the GC club, dealing a one-hit gem through seven innings to pick up the win in the finale.
Webster ace David Mueller pick up his third win on a two-hit shutout in the opener, while Greenville's Daniel Covert fell to 0-4 on the season from the mound. Covert tossed five innings while surrendering two earned runs on six hits, and getting little run support offensively.
In the nightcap, the Panthers bounced two doubles off the left field wall in taking a 2-1 lead in the third inning, and that is all they would need.
Massengill, now 1-1, struck out three Gorloks while blanking WU at the plate for six straight innings.
Freshman Zach Schneider was charged with the loss for the Gorloks.
GC was led at the plate by sophomore right fielder Cole Lawson. Lawson went one-for-three at the plate with a run scored and an RBI.
Greenville will next take the diamond on Friday, April 1, as they travel to Washington University to take on the Bears at Kelly Field.

An assisted living community or facility should be equipped with a rehab center. The central focus of a rehab center is to help those transitioning out of the hospital into long-term care. In this period of flux there are a lot of aspects to health and wellness that need to be monitored and treated to ensure a seamless transition.
Not all rehab centers are alike, as some have more resources than others. It's an important thing to consider when looking into assisted living residences, because having access to a top notch rehab center will bring peace of mind like nothing else can. No one wants their parents to spend one minute longer in the hospital than they need to, and a rehab center with all the amenities will be able to accommodate individuals who have just had a surgery and need close attention for the duration of their recovery.
Here are three important features of a rehab center that should be noted before making any decisions.
A Variety of Treatment Options - A rehab center should have experts on their staff who can treat patients with different types of symptoms. This is not general care; it should be specific and thorough to help the patient heal. The center should have physical, speech, and occupational therapy experts available at all times. A treatment plan is usually written up in the first few days of Extra resources a patient's stay, and at this point a doctor or specialist is assigned to them. The facilities in the center for all these treatment methods must also be up to date and fully operational. A gym and a pool for physical therapy is the bare minimum, for example.
Continuity in Care - Rehab centers are nothing like hospitals. They are smaller, more specialized, and do additional reading not rotate doctors in and out for the same patient. Continuity of care is another common feature of rehab centers that really makes a difference in quality of recovery. The same doctor will be with the same list of patients until they have made the transition and can safely move on into an assisted living residence.
A Facility with Lots of Windows - Light and fresh air can make a big difference in a patient's recovery time. An individual getting over a stroke will want to go outside once in a while to stretch their legs. The same goes for someone recovering from any kind of surgery. After being in a dark and crowded hospital the best thing for recovery is to be in a place with access to natural light and fresh air.
While it might be hard to say no to an otherwise great assisted living residence that has a poor rehab center, it is probably the right decision to make. There are plenty of excellent rehab centers attached to equally great retirement home establishments that can be found in the Chesterfield area.

Tips for buying Corneal Topography System
- Facilities should consider several parameters prior to making the purchase, including: system accuracy and number of projected rings.
- The preferred accuracy of the system is 0.1 diopter, and it should have at least 20 projected rings.
- The keratometer cannot provide information on the shape of irregular corneas, though it can adequately measure normal corneas or those with regular astigmatism. When dealing with corneal abnormalities, such as keratoconus or irregular astigmatism, specialists should decide whether a corneal topography system is more valuable than a keratometer.
- For patients with an atypical corneal shape, VK is a helpful process, particularly for refractive surgery and contact lens candidates.
- Auto-focus or auto-correction features are recommended because user errors could affect the performance of the device.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .
