Gold buy-back returns to annual Skiff Auxiliary bake sale today
The Skiff Medical Center Auxiliary is hosting its annual Deck the Halls event today, with homemade baked goods — including pies, bars, snack mixes and more — on sale from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. near the gift shop in the lobby of the hospital, 204 N. Fourth Ave. E. The gift shop also will have merchandise on sale for 50 percent off.
"People look forward every year to this fundraiser," said Connie Annis, Skiff Auxiliary president. "Since Thanksgiving follows just a few days later, it's a chance to have additional delicious homemade items at your holiday table without extra time spent in the kitchen. And every dollar we raise goes back toward Skiff's patients."
At this year's Deck the Halls event, Paul Mattingly of Mattingly Music & Books will have a table to purchase old, broken and unwanted gold and silver jewelry or coins. Items will be paid upon weight and karat of the item. It is recommended that interested individuals have their jewelry appraised elsewhere prior to the event so they will have a quote to compare.

Everyone's Scottish: From Scotland With Love
By Anna Spiewak, Featured Writer
If you can't travel Scotland, look no further. Plaid and kilts were back in full swing early this month as fashion and Scottish celebrities attended the tenth anniversary show From Scotland With Love, a Scottish evening of fashion, benefit, and fun with DJ Johnny Stuart. The show, produced by the team of Dressed to Kilt nine times earlier, was held on April 2 at Liberty Theater in the heart of Times Square.
The annual charity aims at raising funds to benefit noble causes and promote more contemporary and changing image of Scotland to the United States. The event, which tends to draw an eclectic crowd of fashion and Scottish celebrities, included a red carpet arrival, followed by a cocktail hour and then a fashion show, which included 49 plaid-like runway looks inspired by Scottish designers as well as Vivienne Westwood's archival couture. Original fashions by American designers inspired by the classic plaids and textiles of Scotland were also a highlight. Silent auction items including the world's most expensive kilt that was made by Holland & Sherry for Sir Sean Connery and donated by Connery were modeled on the runway and are available for purchase on FromScotlandWithLove.net.
The fashion runway judges included America's Next Top Model's photographer judge Nigel Barker and TV host Wendy Williams. Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, Reed Richards of Fantastic Four, on the other hand, strutted his Scottish best as a model on the runway, which was followed by loud shouts and applause.
This year, all proceeds benefited both the US-based non-profit, the Wounded Warrior Project, and Cash for Kids, a registered non-profit in Scotland. Founded by veterans of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Wounded Warrior Project helps injured service members aid and assist each other, providing unique direct programs and services. Information is available at www.WoundedWarriorProject.org. Cash For Kids provides aid to over a quarter of the children who live in poverty across Glasgow and the west of Scotland. More information is available at www.CashforKids.uk.com.
Tickets were available for sale to the public ranging in price from $99 to $8,000. Cynthia Cherish Malaran, a health coach, designer and producer, CherishTV.com, has attended the Scottish event three years in a row. She donates to several causes every year and From Scotland With Love was on her list for 2012.
"I paid $220 for my ticket and every nickel of it was worth the cause for the Wounded Warriors," she said. "I love the fashion, the performances, the energy and DJ, such a great animated and lively event."

text: The Gallery People and Parties Wallis Simpson - Style File 08 September 2011 Hannah Rand ROLAND MOURET neatly summed up our eternal fascination with Wallis Simpson when he said: "Love or hate her, the world is still obsessed by that woman."Such is her legacy that some 25 years after her death (and seven decades since the King of England abdicated so he could marry the already-twice divorced Pennsylvanian), Mouret designed a gold, embossed silk maxi-dress inspired by the Duchess for his autumn/winter 2011-12 collection. SEE HER STYLE FILE HEREMore recently, at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, Madonna premiered her film, W.E, which pivots around the love affair between the infamous couple. In the Oscar-scooping The Kings Speech, Gillian Anderson's Simpson may have played second fiddle to Helen Bonham Carter's queen mother but her waspish character and style-sharp costumes are harder to forget. READ OUR W.E. REVIEWBorn in June 1896, Simpson's witty disdain towards British stuffy attitudes and rigid class system (not only was she a divorcée, but as a child she lived on the charity of a relative - and she was an American), were never more apparent than in her sense of style. HOW TO GET THE WALLIS LOOKHer clothes were as challenging as her approach to royal etiquette. When Coco Chanel's boyish Breton tops and trimmed box jackets were de riguer, Simpson was trumping the nipped-in waists and corsetry of American couture designer Main Rousseau Bocher.Her sharp wit led to a collaboration with Salvadore Dalí, who designed a lobster-print for the Elsa Schiaparelli gown that Simpson wore in Vogue in 1937. Photographer Cecil Beaton may have captured a demure Simpson sitting in the grass for the issue - but she can't have been blind to the connotations; Dalí was well known for using lobsters as an expression of frank and ardent sexuality.However, Simpson was a realist as well as an exhibitionist and said, with a touch of vulnerability: "I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm nothing to look at, so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else." And so the Duchess wore fashion like a kind of armour - with her sense of style becoming more sophisticated the more notorious she became.She is said to have worn a Paco Rabanne spacesuit to one party and at the funeral of the Duke in 1972 - an event when she would have known all the eyes of the world would be on her as she walked next to the Queen Mother - she had Hubert Givenchy stay up all night to perfect the length of her chiffon veil.Simpson also used her fame to her favourite designers. She was often seen on the front row of Coco Chanel's greatest rival, Elsa Schiaparelli, and was a regular customer of Christian Dior - another radical artist who's voluptuous "New Look" caused a sensation when it launched in 1947.Simpson may have been ostracised by the British royal family (the couple lived in Bahamas and France after they married), and died alone in France in April 1986, aged 89 - but her legacy to fashion continues to amaze and enthral.

How to stay active when you work behind a desk all day
A lack of physical activity, particularly if it's combined with work-related stress, can threaten your overall health. According to physician members of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, building fitness and healthy food choices into your daily office routine can make a big difference in your physical and mental well-being. Summer is gone, which means those beach vacations, bike rides and long walks through the park most likely have disappeared along with the warmer temperatures. But just because you're stuck at your office desk every day doesn't mean you have to endure aches, pains and hours of sitting in the same position. Follow these tips to stay active even while in the office.
"Today, most Americans spend a lot of time sitting," said Ralph Schmeltz, M.D., 2011 president of PAMED and an internal medicine specialist. "That's not necessarily good for flexibility, muscular strength and the health of our lungs and heart."
The physician members of the Pennsylvania Medical Society offer the following ideas for incorporating fitness and health into the office setting:

A colorful, simple and absolutely delicious slaw for any season. You can shred the cabbage on the large holes of a box grater, with the shredding attachment of a food processor or by simply slicing it very finely with a sharp knife.
Thinly sliced celery root and Yukon gold potatoes, baked with milk and nutty Emmentaler cheese and topped with breadcrumbs, make a decadent side dish. Celery root adds the savory complexity to this otherwise classic potato gratin.
These potatoes are rich and creamy without the addition of dairy ingredients. The flavor is classic enough to serve alongside any holiday roast, or increase the tahini by a tablespoon or two and pair them with Middle Eastern dishes in place of rice or couscous.
A sweet, spicy coffee rub makes a delicious complement to steaks.
This delicious duck is special enough for entertaining but easy enough for weeknights. We recommend Riesling for the sauce because it's a wine that typically harmonizes with citrus, but you can use any not-too-dry white wine.
Eye of round is an extremely lean beef roast and should not be overcooked. For best results, slice very thinly. Serve with a side of steamed green beans and mashed potatoes and keep leftovers for sandwiches.
Whole wheat pasta and flour gives this hearty macaroni and cheese a pleasant nuttiness.
This tasty take on caramel corn can be enjoyed loose or shaped into popcorn balls for a Halloween treat. Let the kids help, but not with the hot molasses mixture!
These sweet rolls are perfect to serve when you have company since you can easily make them the day before. Bake the rolls first thing in the morning and your guests and family will wake up to the sweet scents of cinnamon, walnuts and dates.
The flavors in these little hors d'oeuvres exhilarate the palate. Sharp cheddar and chili powder in the polenta, sweet onions in the barbecue sauce, and zesty limes in the avocado sauce come together in one lively bite. Serve these with drinks, or atop lettuce...
This traditional Sicilian dish combines pasta, eggplant, tomatoes, olives and salty ricotta salata for a light summer meal. Serve with a green salad and a bottle of pinot grigio.
The citrus flair from orange marmalade and mandarin oranges deliciously combines with the flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom in this coffee cake. If you don't have a bundt pan on hand, use a 9x13-inch baking pan. Dust the finished cake with powdered...
An after-Thanksgiving tradition in some homes, this is a smart and satisfying way to use leftover turkey.
Here's a soup that can be put together quickly and offers comforting, warm and spicy flavors. Serve the soup family-style in a large tureen and arrange the garnishes around the table in colorful bowls for everyone to dress up their soup.
Bring some sunshine to your morning or surprise someone with breakfast in bed by preparing these ranch-style eggs in less than 10 minutes. Top this hot dish with grated cheese, chopped green onions, and sprigs of fresh cilantro, if you like.
Tofu works well in chili, absorbing flavors and mimicking the texture of meat. Add a small jalapeño pepper to spice it up a bit. Serve chili piping hot in bowls, over steamed brown rice, if you like.

Girl Stuff
Like today, for instance, Meici's cousin came over to play and was trying to teach her a bunch of Hannah Montana songs and how to pose like a model.
Meici just didn't get it.
Meici's cousin would say "like this, Meici!" and then strike a pose.
And then Meici would just stick out her tummy and shout "Care Bears STARE!!!"
When I was about 10 years old I went to a friend's birthday party and realized I was different from all the other girls. As my friend was opening her presents I became extremely nervous and embarrassed. All the other girls had given her stuff like, make-up kits, nail polish, cute purses and mini backpacks, and jewelry. When it came to my turn I wanted to die! First of all my gift wasn't wrapped in cute pink birthday paper like everyone elses, it was wrapped in Christmas paper (the only wrapping paper my parents ever bought) and this party was in the summer. Second, my gift was a puzzle. A puzzle. A 500 piece puzzle of some cottage in the woods. Some of the girls snickered and rolled their eyes when they saw it but the birthday girl was so sweet and thanked me for the gift. It was pretty embarrassing.
It just went downhill from there.
And I blame it all on my mother.
She kind of made me feel like all things girly were the devil!
When I was a kid I took hulu dance classes, and one night right before a recital my friend's mom was putting lipstick on her daughter and then she came over and put some on me. I was terrified. I kept thinking I'm so glad my mom's not coming to this recital because she would kill me if she saw me wearing lipstick.
Or sometimes I'd go to a friends house and they'd be doing their nails and I would just paint my toenails and then wear socks when I got home so my mom wouldn't find out.
She never let me get my ears pierced (they're still not) and made me feel like anyone who did was a bad person.
And I remember shopping for my first bra, with just my dad and three of my brothers. I was so scared and confused and they just told me to go hurry and get one. I had no idea what I was doing; where was my mom? It was like she was against bras too.
Okay so I don't think she was really against all this stuff and thought it was bad, I just got that impression from her.
She just wasn't into that kind of stuff, and therefore didn't teach me about it.
And now Meici and I are going through the same cycle.
I still don't wear any make-up, or paint my nails, or do my hair, or wear clothes that match, or wear clothes that even belong to me.
This is what I looked like today:
Everything you see belongs to my husband.
I just hope Meici doesn't see this lack of caring about my appearance and take it the wrong way. I don't want her to think looking nice is evil.
I am doing a little better though, the other day I bought chapstick that was tinted pink! And I made that picture of me really small because I guess I really do care what other people think.
I'm just really glad Meici has an older cousin who will guide her through things I just don't understand, like leg shaving and mustache bleaching and purse carrying.
Thanks to all of you who have donated to the Mother's Day project. It was a cold and snowy day today and I couldn't help but think of all the people out there who don't have a warm home to take shelter in, and how I wish I could help out more.

But you are so beautiful! I bet you are not wearing any makeup. You suck! Your skin is perfect. I was pretty much raised by my Dad and I wasn't really that girly, just more of a practical dresser. I bought some books and taught myself how to be that way. All you need is a new outfit because you are already pretty.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am 31, still don't wear make-up and have 2 super girly girls! (though I do enjoy a pedicure and cute polish on the toes)
my husband teases me that it took ten years of marriage and 4 kids to turn me into a "real" girl, but it's all good, since he's more high maintenace then I am!
Here's to tom-boys!
Love the Carebear stare!I'd rather Meici than the cousin. I see my niece now dancing around and being all cute---but it's gonna be nuts when she's a teenager! Maybe Meici will be the one actually getting good grades and being friends with everyone and have a well-adjusted self-esteem as she gets older. I bet Hannah doesn't have that:)
ReplyDeleteI don't wear makeup out of laziness...but I finally started shaving my legs on a regular basis...when I turned thirty.
Ear-piercing is over-rated, but bra-wearing is not optional! I always feel so sorry for little girls whose parents put off buying that first bra.
We don't do HM. That is verboten.
then click "publish your comment"
then I'll notice it and be all like- hey, I got a comment
then I'll read it and think- that sure was a great comment
then I'll eat a doughnut.

Really good guest house with excellent location, just a few steps away from Forum Mall and well under budget as well. I rented a 3BHK apartment for one week. The service was nice.. We were provided two meals a day (breakfast and lunch), that too of our choice. Food was pretty good. Had a nice and comfortable stay.

Pick 4 plus FIREBALL FAQ
What is happening to Pick 3 and Pick 4?
Great things! We are launching the hot, new, permanent add-on feature plus FIREBALL, which you can select for an additional cost. The Pick 3 and Pick 4 base games you love will not be changing.
What is plus FIREBALL? How do I win with this add-on feature?
After the winning numbers have been drawn for both Pick 3 and Pick 4 base games, an additional ball will be drawn for each game from a pool of numbered and non-numbered balls (10 numbered plus FIREBALLS [0–9] and 10 blank balls in the pool for Pick 3). For Pick 4, there are 10 numbered plus FIREBALLS [0–9] and 20 blank balls. If a numbered plus FIREBALL is drawn, players who selected plus FIREBALL will automatically win if the plus FIREBALL number can replace any number of the winning numbers selected to create a winning combination that matches the player's numbers.
Example: A player selects the numbers 2 5 3 and adds plus FIREBALL to their straight wager. The lottery draws the winning numbers 1 5 3, in this example with a plus FIREBALL number of 2 . In this instance, the plus FIREBALL number 2 would replace the first digit of the winning numbers drawn to create the combination. Because the player selected the plus FIREBALL add-on feature, they were able to turn a non-winning ticket into a winning ticket by matching the new winning number combination ( 2 5 3 ) to their selected numbers ( 2 5 3 ).
What Happens If The plus FIREBALL Number Is The Same As My Selected Numbers?
If plus FIREBALL number is the same as one of the winning numbers, and your numbers match the winning combination drawn for the selected play style, the plus FIREBALL number is used to win a bonus prize(s).
Example: You play 1 2 2 straight for $.50 and add plus FIREBALL, doubling the price to $1.00. The Lottery draws Pick 3 numbers 1 2 2 and the plus FIREBALL number 2. You would win 3 times – once for matching the winning combination (straight) of 1-2-2 and twice more for replacing both winning numbers of 2 with the plus FIREBALL 2.
Win with straight wager 122 Win $250
Win 2nd time with plus FIREBALL 1 2 2 Win $250
WIN 3rd time with plus FIREBALL 1 2 2 Win $250
How Much Does plus FIREBALL Cost?
The cost for plus FIREBALL is equal to the cost of your original base wager (for example: if your original base wager is $0.50, your plus FIREBALL wager will be an additional $0.50). You cannot add plus FIREBALL to individual games unless you use separate play slips.
How Does plus FIREBALL Affect Multidraw Purchases?
When you select plus FIREBALL, this will apply to all games (boards) on a play slip, including advance plays. If you do not want to add plus FIREBALL to all of your advance purchases, multiple play slips must be used.
Why was this new feature added?
We want to reward our players by offering you additional chances to win!
Does plus FIREBALL Affect The Base Games Of Pick 3 And Pick 4?
No, none of the current play styles will change, and opting to play plus FIREBALL will not impact any of these selections. You can still win Pick 3 and Pick 4 without playing plus FIREBALL.
Are the Pick 3 and Pick 4 play slips changing?
Yes, play slips for both games will be updated. You will need to use the new play slips in order to play plus FIREBALL, so look out for new play slips out on September 1!
Where And When Can I Find Out The plus FIREBALL Number For My Selected Draw?
The current draw schedule for Pick 3 and Pick 4 midday and evening draws will remain the same. The plus FIREBALL will be drawn on WGN after the base game numbers. This ball will either be numbered or blank. Information about numbers drawn will be available immediately following each drawing on www.illinoislottery.com.
How Will I Know If I Have Purchased plus FIREBALL?
If you have selected plus FIREBALL, this information will show clearly on your ticket.

The Regularisation procedure allows the Local Authority to consider appropriate works carried out and completed without the submission of full plans and giving of notice. Such work often comes to light during the sale of a property when the vendor is asked to produce evidence of approvals. When the work complies, or is made to comply with the regulations that were in operation at the time of completion of the unauthorised work Building Control will issue a 'Certificate of Regularisation'.
Complete the Regularisation section on the standard application form available by downloading or from the local Building Control Office. The form requires you to provide the following information:-
(a) A description of the unauthorised work (b) The date of completion (c) The use of the building (d) Details of services
A location plan of the property is also required.
In some circumstances, you may be asked to provide plans of the work and/or plans of additional remedial work. The application for Regularisation must be accompanied by a fee equal to 120% of the combined plan and inspection fee which would be payable under the current fee regulations for the unauthorised work. See payment methods for ways to pay. In circumstances where substantial additional or remedial work is required, the original fee may have to be increased. WHAT WE DO
When a regularisation application is received we will arrange to inspect the work. In circumstances where work is hidden, opening up that work for a more detailed inspection, may be required. We will assess compliance of the work with regulations and advise of any necessary additional or remedial work. An opportunity will be given to carry out that work in order that a certificate may be issued.
You might decide not to proceed with the additional or remedial work. Depending on the nature and seriousness of any contraventions legal proceedings may be instituted. A Certificate will not be issued if the additional/remedial work is not carried not.
A 'limited certificate' may be issued. This will state which work complies or does not comply and what has been inspected.
Regularisation does not apply to work completed prior to October 1973.
In addition to Building Control, you may also require Planning Permission. For further information contact you local D.O.E Planning Service at www.planningni.gov.uk

The mist cleared, revealing -- for just a moment -- a yellow blob on the sidewalk.
That must have been Juicy Fruit, Keith Gerber said, his commentary meant for no one in particular. As a small crowd watched, another black circle transformed into a color of the rainbow and then disintegrated. This time, it was blue.
"Ah, Wintergreen," Gerber said, not missing a beat before the next blob revealed itself. "That's definitely Big Red."
As York City's superintendent of parks and sanitation, Gerber was among the handful of people summoned Wednesday morning to a quadrant of Continental Square. They'd been called to see Dr. Gum in action.
The machine -- an R2D2-meets-mini-fridge-
meets-vacuum-cleaner contraption on four wheels -- is the latest addition to Downtown Inc's arsenal of beautification tools. Using steam and a cleaning solution, it is capable of lifting the abandoned sticky stuff right off the sidewalk, playground or sign.
So plentiful are those black circles that dot urban landscapes, most people might not even notice them, Gerber said. But, take a moment to look around.
"It's like, oh my goodness, it's everywhere," Gerber said.
Sonia Huntzinger, Downtown Inc's executive director, said she has wanted to purchase a gum-removal machine for a long time, going so far as to carve out a line item for it in last year's budget. But it wasn't until a recent meeting with Tom Wolf, chairman and CEO of The Wolf Organization, that Huntzinger realized her dream could come true.
"He says to me, at the end of the conversation, 'Sonny, what can we do about the gum on the sidewalk?' I said, 'Well, there's a machine out there that actually takes it off,'" Huntzinger said. "He said, 'Well, how much is it?' And I told him. And he said, 'Go get one.'"
The cost of Dr. Gum? $7,000 -- all of which is being covered by The Wolf Organization.
Kind of fun: The machine will belong to Downtown Inc but also be available to city cleaning crews, Huntzinger said.
"It is kind of fun," said Derek Borigo, a Downtown Inc employee who trained with the machine Wednesday. "I think it'll work well."
Borigo and others will begin cleaning downtown sidewalks right away. They'll start on West Market Street, then move on to Continental Square, North George Street and the district around Central Market, Huntzinger said.
"We'll be able to gauge after the first couple of days" how fast the work will go, she said.
Cleaning gum from the sidewalks can go a long way toward improving York's image, Huntzinger said.
"If we clean up even the most, the smallest of details, it presents a better picture. If we clean up the sidewalks, maybe one of the store owners is going to pay a little more attention to their storefront," she said. "It's an upward spiral."

In keeping with its Vincentian mission of helping those in need, St. John's holds Service Day each year in honor of the feast day of St. Vincent de Paul, founder of the Congregation of the Mission. St. John's University alumni were also called back to their alma mater to help make a difference on this special day, with four big-city American chapters (Atlanta, Miami, Orange County, CA and Washington, D.C.) organizing events.The day began with a morning prayer service before volunteers went out to their designated service locations. Activities this year included park clean-ups, visits to nursing homes and hospitals, fundraisers, and other community assistance projects. Rev. Patrick J. Griffin, C.M., Executive Vice President for Mission and Branch Campuses, said that the 350th anniversary of the deaths of Saints Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac provides a unique opportunity to showcase St. John's commitment to service. "Gathering together in prayer and service is the best way in which we can remember these heroes of the Vincentian mission," Rev. Griffin, C.M. said. "We as a St. John's community throughout New York and in Rome, Paris, Dublin, and Salamanca, symbolize our commitment by real service to real people." In Manhattan, volunteers worked the breakfast and lunch shifts at a local soup kitchen, while participants from the Oakdale Campus, who have been collecting books for those ages 5-8 years old, delivered the books to the Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York.At Cunningham Park in Queens, members of the University's Honors Program volunteered at the Fall Invitational for the Special Olympics of New York, rallying for the athletes during a competitive softball game and other sporting events. The School of Education sponsored the "Tour de St. John's," where bicyclists road a 25-30 mile route from the Queens campus to Fort Totten Park in Bayside, and back, to support St. John's Bread & Life, Inc. And in Brooklyn, at St. John Baptist School on Lewis Avenue, volunteers painted and cleaned classrooms for students, and organized the library. The School of Pharmacy participated in "Project Immunization," where forty faculty members and students were dispersed to four libraries in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and on Long Island, to educate the public on influenza and H1N1 immunizations. Other groups hosted parties and clinics for children or took part in the "Friends of the Poor" walk with an aim to combat hunger and homelessness.In Staten Island, over 250 participants headed out to give back in various communities throughout the island. Five nursing homes were visited where volunteers read with patients and worked on arts and crafts projects together; food pantries and local parishes were visited where the shelves were stocked, meals were served and other cleaning and maintenance projects were performed. Several participants visited Lemon Creek Park and Woodland Cemetery for landscaping and beautifying projects, while at Hospitality House, volunteers entertained young children with coloring projects and games and also tackled painting and other projects. In Dublin, St. John's students began their day attending Mass at All Hallows Chapel and having a breakfast with guest speaker Father Jim McCormack. The students also served food in a soup kitchen and assisted in the operation of a wet hostel. Later that evening, the students discussed their Service Day experience over a traditional Irish supper. In Salamanca, St. John's students were at a food bank cleaning crates of jam before they were to be distributed to the needy. They later joined together for reflection. In Rome, undergraduate students spent the day visiting with the elderly, while graduate students helped service food in a soup kitchen. Students in Paris helped also worked in a soup kitchen and in the operation of a hostel. Others participated in "Midnight Run Paris," where students prepared dinner bags and distributed them to the homeless throughout the city. The day ended with an on-campus reflection. In Washington D.C., alumni and members of the University's Office of Alumni Relations, cleaned up and worked on maintenance projects at an elementary school for disadvantaged children, while across the country in Orange County and Los Angeles, members of those alumni chapters sorted clothing and shoes for distribution to the needy. In the South, the Miami chapter volunteered in soup kitchens, nursing homes and schools and the Atlanta chapter donated art items to a school that lost its art program due to budget cuts. Interested media members should contact Elizabeth Reilly, Assistant Director of Media Relations at St. John's, by calling (718) 990-5789, or by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

New law requires earlier DNA tests for inmates
Michigan prison inmates will have to submit to DNA testing soon after they're locked up rather than waiting until just before they're released under a bill signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The state began collecting inmates' DNA samples in 1994, but inmates currently aren't required to provide a sample until they're released on parole, placed in a halfway house or discharged after serving their full sentences.
Supporters say the new law Snyder signed Thursday will help police solve cold cases sooner by giving them the ability to match inmates' DNA to unsolved crimes while they're still in prison.
Prison inmates now will have to give a DNA sample within three months of incarceration.

The experience can also be a learning tool. Goetz says bankruptcy itself shouldn't be a filer's only goal but rather part of a long-term plan to restore financial stability. If people distrust themselves with money after bankruptcy, he recommends they implement financial strategies they weren't using before, such as setting up automated savings.
Before becoming a financial therapist, Snyder worked as a grief counselor to people who lost a loved one. She says grieving the death of a friend or family member is similar to grieving the loss of financial identity. "People who file for bankruptcy need to come to terms with realizing that it's OK to have this moment of honesty and clarity of themselves and that they need help," Snyder says.
[See Get-Out-of-Debt Resolutions for 2013]
Blame is another critical component. Although many people's financial situations are a result of the poor economy and other elements outside their control, Snyder says it's important they take ownership for the things they had control over. The next step in the recovery process: Separating one's net worth from personal worth.
The rest is dependent on how well a person crafts a plan for handling finances from then on. To make things easier, Snyder suggests people set themselves up for small victories by making small, achievable goals. "As they accomplish them, then they can start to feel like they're changing," she says.
Anne Brennan Malec, a licensed clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist at Symmetry Counseling in Chicago, says true emotional recovery lies in whether people are able to change their financial habits. Says Malec: "This process is so painful, in so many different ways, that if you're going to go through it, you have to learn something through it."

Specific Clinical/Research Interests: Molecular determinants of virulence of emerging viruses, including Ebola virus, Nipah virus and pandemic influenza virusCurrent Students: PhD: Michael Ciancanelli, Charalampos Valmas, Kathleen Prins
Postdoctoral Fellows: Reed Shabman, Lawrence Leung, Osvaldo Martinez, Tshide Tsibane, St. Patrick Reid
Research Personnel: Alejandra Galvez
Summary of Research Studies:
My interests lie in defining molecular determinants of virulence of emerging viruses. Two main avenues of research are being pursued.
1. The interferon (IFN) alpha/beta response is a major component of innate defense against virus infection. As a consequence, viruses have evolved ways to counteract this response. We are interested in defining the mechanisms by which emerging viruses block the IFN system. We have identified IFN-antagonists from a variety of viruses including Ebola virus, Nipah virus and Eastern equine encephalitis virus. The mechanisms by which these proteins function are diverse and a major focus of the lab. Two Ebola virus encoded IFN-antagonists identified by our group serve as useful examples. We have demonstrated that the Ebola virus protein VP35 functions to inhibit IFN-alpha/beta production by blocking the signaling pathways that activate interferon regulatory factor 3, a transcription factor which plays a central role in the induction of the IFN response. A second Ebola virus protein, VP24, acts by a separate mechanism and inhibits the JAK-STAT signaling pathways normally activated upon addition of IFN to cells. In this case, VP24 prevents the nuclear accumulation of activated STAT1 through an interaction between VP24 and the STAT1 nuclear localization signal receptor karyopherin alpha 1. We hypothesize that the combined functions of these two proteins contribute to the high virulence of Ebola virus. Studies on these and other IFN-antagonists seek to define how each protein contributes to viral pathogenesis, to determine whether these anti-IFN functions also affect host adaptive immune responses to infection and to determine whether these proteins are viable targets for antiviral therapeutics.
2. We are also seeking to elucidate the molecular determinants of virulence of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus. The 1918 influenza virus is estimated to have caused more than 20 million deaths worldwide, but the reasons for this high mortality are poorly understood. We are involved in a collaborative "paleovirolgy" project that reconstructed the previously extinct 1918 virus with the expectation that such studies will reveal important new insights into influenza virus pathogenesis. Recent studies are focused on characterizing the 1918 influenza virus-specific immune responses that persist in survivors almost 90 years after the pandemic.

It doesn't look like Tom Brady has anything to worry about from Wes Welker. Monkey-free Page Six reports that Welkah spent time with Gisele Bundchen in her Rio hotel suite while Dreamboat was rehabbing here in the US. He apparently tried to samba with her but failed miserably. How great would it have been if Ryan Clark came flying out of a closet and wrecked him Terry Tate-style when he tried to dance with Tom's date?
