2013 Annual Census Forms
The City of Lowell Election Commission/Census Office has mailed the 2013 annual census forms to households in the city, as required by Massachusetts General Laws.
Lowell residents are asked to comply with this legal mandate. Compliance with the census is necessary for voters to maintain their active voter registration status. The census provides the only legal record for City residence and is used for veteran's benefits, proof of residence, public school enrollment, senior citizen benefits, and updating voter records.
The annual census is also used by the City for statistical information necessary to plan and allocate the delivery of public services to the residents of Lowell. The population figure is used by the Commonwealth and the federal government in determining allocation of state and federal services.
Instructions and a return envelop are provided with the census form. You may return your completed census form via mail or visiting our office at City Hall, 375 Merrimack Street, Room 5. Please respond to the census within 10 days of receiving your form. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Election Commission at 978-674-1200.

FEMA Grant Funds Regional Pet Preparedness Initiative

Lowell MA (February 21, 2013) :
Note: This press release is issued jointly by the City of Lowell Police Department, Animal Control Officer, Health Department, the region's UMV (Upper Merrimack Valley) Medical Reserve Corps and UMV Public Health Coalition.
FEMA Grant Funds Regional Pet Preparedness Initiative
Free public education events available, starting 2/28/13
When Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Northeast, knocking out power and destroying whole communities, the first priority was to protect those who had to be evacuated. But what about their pets?
This issue has a surprisingly major impact on humans. Consider that 44% of those who could have evacuated in Hurricane Katrina refused, purely because they had no accommodations for their animals. Their choice to stay home jeopardized the well-being of not only the families and their pets, but also their neighbors and potential rescuers.
Even across our region today, not all emergency shelters will accept animals. Furthermore, not all pet owners know about basic preparations they can make to minimize the risks to their WHOLE families in case of disaster.
Fortunately, a $15,361.90 FEMA grant was recently awarded to the Upper Merrimack Valley Medical Reserve Corps to collaborate with municipal agencies and response partners across the region to promote pet preparedness. Upcoming activities include public and MRC member education events, supplies for adding pet care capabilities to emergency shelters, and a regional drill to test pet sheltering and response.
"Over the past ten years, we've had quite a few emergencies that required evacuations, right here in the Upper Merrimack Valley," said Sandy Collins, Director of Health Care Services for the Town of Westford. "Floods, fires, ice storms, blizzards, and even tornadoes have threatened our area. Many of our towns have been getting a lot of practice setting up and staffing emergency shelters." FEMA now requires communities to make accommodations for pets, in order to qualify for reimbursement of sheltering expenses.
Darleen Wood, Animal Control Officer for the City of Lowell, is eager to raise awareness of these activities. "This FEMA grant can empower local communities seeking to add the capacity for emergency care of animals in disaster to many of our shelters, said Wood. "Our towns are striving to give pet owners better options to care for their animals."
"We know how much pets can mean to a family, and how attached people can be to their animals," said Richard Day, Health Director for the Town of Chelmsford. "That's why we're working with other agencies to build in the capacity for animal care at our town's emergency shelter. In a disaster, it's a great comfort to know that the WHOLE family is protected."
Area residents are invited to attend one of four free one-hour public education events to learn more. Each is from 6 to 7 p.m:
Feb. 28 (Thurs.) – Senior Center, 175 Chandler St, Tewksbury 01876
Mar. 4 (Mon.) – Trinity EMS Training Center, 10 Jean Ave. (behind Hannaford and Taylor Rental at Drum Hill; not to be confused with nearby Trinity Headquarters on Drum Hill Rd.), Chelmsford 01824
Mar. 18 (Mon.) – Senior Center, 75 Groton Rd/Rt. 40, N. Chelmsford 01863
Mar. 20 (Weds.) – Blanchard Middle School, 14 West St, Westford 01886
Pre-registration is encouraged though not required. Call 978-399-2549 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up. See www.UMVMRC.org for complete details.
# # #
The Upper Merrimack Valley Medical Reserve Corps, based at the Westford Health Department, has been actively recruiting, training, and deploying both medical and non-medical volunteers in case of disaster for nine years. The local MRC has 550 members and covers Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Lowell, Tewksbury, Tyngsboro, and Westford. There are 980 MRC units nationwide, with over 208,000 members, reporting to the U.S. Surgeon General.
Self-Defense Class for Women
The LPD will be conducting a women's self-defense classes on Tuesday, February 26th and Tuesday, March 5th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Lowell High School (2-part session). The class will be limited to the first 20 participants that sign up. Participants must be 18 and older. Instructors will be Sgt. Tom Fleming and Officer Marisol Nobrega. Participants are asked to wear athletic clothing.

Still my favourite for a comforting brew.
I love fruity and herbal infusions, flavored rooibos, and natural as well as flavored green teas.
Tea rating chart:
90-100 — Teas exquisitely matched aromas and taste
71-89 — Delightful cuppa, teas that I enjoy and will drink often.
60-70 — Function teas, effective for health purposes, not so tasty. Drank as required.
40-50 — Love the aroma but the taste is disappointing.
Below 40 — Disappointed, and I won't be buying it again.

OK everyone, we will try another fun little game similar to ones that have been posted previously. This one is exactly what it says. Simply put a quote from a movie, book, or something of some notoriety so it isn't impossible to guess. We will keep a "running scoreboard" of the leaders for fun. We will start out with an easy one.
"Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"
LOL....Just to give you an idea in our household: This Halloween I am going to be Wolverine, my wife is Storm, our daughter is Black Widow, and our son is Hawkeye....This one was one we like!
Hawkeye is a mutant? I thought he was an Avenger . . .
LOL. My wife and I are doing X-Men and the kids are doing Avengers. However the crossover from X-Men to Avengers and vice versa is confusing depending on what you are reading/watching/etc. :)
This one combines several discussions on here with one of the best lines in a movie.
"Nothing burps better than bacon."
Oh man, that one just sounds so familiar when I say it in my head....can't quite place it though.....AAAARGH!
I've got nothing. It doesn't sound familiar at all.
I will give a hint, but no Googling. :)
It stars Ed O'Neill
The only movie I can think of him in is "Dutch". Is that it?
I'm pretty sure it is. Haven't seen that movie in years...
Randy, you got it right!

A power failure at the Brownsville airport prompted an airplane to make an overnight emergency landing in Harlingen.
Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport Executive Director Larry Brown spoke to Action 4 News about the incident.
Brown said that power went down at the airport and surrounding area around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
The generator for the airport did not automatically kick in.
Brown said power for one of the runways was not available prompting airport officials to divert an incoming plane to the Valley International Airport in Harlingen.
Some 11 passengers were taken off the plane and waited in Harlingen for about an hour until the power restored on the runway in Brownsville.
The passengers were then loaded back on the plane and flow to Brownsville where the plane landed safely.

Anything. There's no such thing as "breakfast" food to me anymore.
Answer by A at Grain Free Diet 6409 · Sep 23 '11 at 12:41 PM
Leftover dinner.
Answer by jesuisjuba - paleorepublic.com 20476 · Sep 23 '11 at 12:58 PM
Not sure if you're working out at all but with your mentioning wanting to limit fruit I will keep my ideas lower carb. If you are working out definitely add tubers into the mix - roasted, smashed, baked. Here are things that I eat - but because I work out heavy 4-5 days a week berries and tubers, mm.. sweet potato, definitely are a big part of my meals. I also finish them off with a big squeeze of lemon juice as the acid makes the flavours even better.

I have been loading up the crockpot with chicken or beef stew at night and LOVING it for breakfast.

Chicken and avocado is one of my favourite breakfasts
Answer by Kaz 5719 · Sep 23 '11 at 04:21 PM
I love eating (cooked, leftover) dead animal directly from the fridge in the morning, especially poultry. Something about it being cold is more enjoyable for me when I first wake up. :)
Answer by Ryan Wilder 676 · Sep 23 '11 at 07:24 PM
I would DEFINITELY go for a toasted bagel with jelly. It's fat-free, so logically it must be good for losing fat. Score!
Answer by Dragonfly 32775 · Sep 23 '11 at 03:57 PM
Nothing. I fast until noon or 1pm when I want to drop those last few pounds.
Then I break my fast with a "normal" lunch.

Committee makes a few recommendations to SEBI
The mutual fund advisory committee in its meeting today with SEBI suggested that AMFI could become an SRO to regulate distributors.
For liquid funds, the committee recommended that the NAV should be allotted based on realisation of funds for investments below one crore. Investors were splitting applications to get the same day's NAV if they wanted to invest one crore. It has asked SEBI to take strict action against this practise. It has also suggested SEBI to make portfolio disclosures mandatory on a monthly basis instead of every six months.
"The exit load has to be written back to the scheme and against which few basis points expenses can be charged by the scheme. There was a discussion on bringing fungibility and increasing total expense ratio also" said a committee member.
Sources say that no consensus was arrived on formulating an incentive structure for distributors. "Entry load is not being introduced. SEBI will present the recommendations to its board," says M S Apte, Investor Association - Lokmanya Seva Sangh.
The regulator is likely to present these recommendations to its board members for its approval.

We were in town last week for a horse show, and were looking for a special place to have a celebratory dinner. Fleming's was the perfect choice!

The service was excellent. The food was good but not worth the price. I ordered a ribeye. With a ribeye you get nothing with it. Salad and a potato was extra. $155 for two people in Tulsa, OK is a bit extreme. Don't think we will be going back anytime soon.
Good food that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Although the restaurant is VERY noisy, management caters to an older crowd. After paying for your $100 per person meal, you may be asked to leave before finishing your last bite if one of them complains.
This was our first visit to Fleming's in Tulsa and most likely will not be our last. I was honestly surprised how easily we could get a 7:00 reservation on a Friday evening two days before (hard to do in OKC at some of our favorite places). The place was packed!

Got in time for happy hour. Ordered carpaccio - excellent! Then shrimp - yummy. Lastly, Fleming salad. Awesome! Service is second to none! Atmosphere very nice, quiet, high level. Will definitely return when next in Tulsa
We arrived at our reservation time plus 2 minutes and were met at the door and quickly excorted to our table. Service was prompt without being hurried and we were allowed plenty of time to study the menu and ask questions about the many specialities. We skipped the appetizer course, had Fleming's Salads and steak with a Fleming's Potato Gratin... More

About the Division Our Mission Wildlife Council Wildlife Careers Contact Us Turn In a Poacher
The Division of Wildlife's annual stockings of put-and-take rainbow trout will all be significantly reduced this fall due to renovation of the Castalia State Fish Hatchery, which required temporary changes in the annual fish production schedule. The total number of trout available for stocking this fall is reduced from 25,000 to 4,000 fish. The 4,000 fish will be stocked during October at Stonelick Lake in Clermont County, the Ohio-Erie Canal in Cuyahoga County, and Sycamore State Park Pond located in Montgomery County. Get Directions to All Fall Trout Stocking Locations >>
Renovation of the Castalia State Fish Hatchery will ensure the future of Ohio's steelhead trout fishing as well as put-and-take rainbow trout fishing. Facility improvements include a new building where eggs are hatched and young fish are raised, covered raceways where fish can grow to larger sizes, high-volume water pumps, and state-of-the art water quality monitors.
Each year the Division stocks 400,000 steelhead in the tributaries of Lake Erie and 110,000 put-and-take rainbow trout in waters throughout the state. All steelhead are produced at the Castalia State Fish Hatchery as well as many of the put-and-take rainbow trout. The hatchery renovation is expected to be completed this fall. Anglers can expect the numbers of put-and take rainbow trout stocked during spring 2012 to be similar to previous years.
A five fish daily bag limit is in effect for all the stocked water areas.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - The police chief in the Alabama city of Auburn said early Sunday that authorities responded overnight to a report of multiple gunshot victims at an apartment complex, but he added he was not immediately releasing any further information.
Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson told the Opelika-Auburn News that police answered a report of multiple shooting victims Saturday night but he had no immediate comment on the situation, the circumstances involved or whether anyone was in custody.
The newspaper reported that several emergency vehicles had converged on the University Heights apartment complex where a number of students who attend Auburn University typically reside.
An Auburn police dispatcher contacted by The Associated Press said early Sunday she had no immediate information to release. Police did not immediately return repeated telephone messages seeking comment and the dispatcher later said she had no indication on any subsequent release of information planned by authorities.
John Atkinson, a spokesman for East Alabama Medical Center, told the newspaper in the report online early Sunday that any information would be released later in coordination with the local coroner's office and the Auburn police department.
Auburn University police said they had no information to report on the situation being handled by city police.
Vasha Hunt, a photographer with the Opelika-Auburn News, was at the apartment complex and told AP by telephone early Sunday that authorities had set up a white tent there. But he said police kept several bystanders back behind yellow tape early Sunday.
Police were photographed conversing together behind the taped-off scene as, later, rain began falling. Hunt said many of those who initially gathered outside appeared to be residents waiting for permission to enter their apartments while several police cars and other vehicles were parked around the entrance.
Police also set up large lights illuminating the area and about a dozen police cars, ambulances and other emergency vehicles were photographed around the blocked-off entrance, he added.
Some other reports said students looking on at the scene appeared somber and that residents who showed identification were later let back into their apartments.

About Student Government Elections
Student Government at Sonoma State is composed of 15 elected officers, including three executive officers, twelve Senators representing the five academic schools and seven areas of student interest. Every spring semester, these officers are elected to their positions by their fellow students to serve as the office voice for all students at Sonoma State.
Elected Officers Gallery
My name is Gian D'Ambra and I am a COMS major here at SSU. I am from Rhode Island but am now a California resident since moving to the Central Valley/ East Bay area about two years ago. Next year will be my third year at Sonoma State after transferring from a school in New York. I currently work in athletics and athletic development. I took the radio track in the COMS major and am also part of KSUN. I am planning on using my experience as an AS leader and my degree from SSU to pursue a career in sports broadcasting and journalism. If elected as President I will use my previous experience as a leader in athletics to meet the needs of the student body here at SSU. Knowing everyone has a different outlook as they enter college, I will cater to all the different opinions and aspirations our students have. Your vote is your voice so I will do my best to make sure everyone's experience at SSU is exactly what they dreamed it would be, and more!.
First off I want to say that I have been passionate about student representation since I stepped on this campus for the very first time. I was elected as the Zinfandel Village Council President my freshman year and the Residential Student Association President my Sophomore year. At the same time I was a member of our NCAA Tennis Team. During my involvement in Residential governance I learned a lot about what SSU students were really concerned with and it was incredibly rewarding to be a part of the process in satisfying those needs. Currently I serve as the Statewide Issues Senator for the Associated Students. I have been involved with the Associated Students throughout my SSU career as a member of Student Center Street Team, committee member, and regular AS meeting attendee. My current AS involvement has allowed me to make many connections across various campus departments, which paired with my knowledge of the University makes me uniquely able to efficiently and effectively enact positive change here at SSU. As a regular attendee of the California State Student Association I am deeply aware of the issues affecting the CSU system. The connections I have created within every CSU campus has been very helpful in the process of implementing new and exciting programs here on this campus. Lastly, I don't want to forget my involvement in Summer Orientation as a Team Leader, which gave me even more experience in vision planning, team processes, and leading a group toward a common goal.
My name is Mac Hart. I'm a third year student, and I'm asking for your support in becoming the next President of Associated Students. I am running for this position because I believe that I offer the right set of skills and proven experience needed to significantly improve all aspects of our experience at Sonoma State University. During my past three years at Sonoma State I have worked to create vibrant community among a spectrum of groups on campus. Through my experience I have learned that we are all important to the campus community. That collectively, through our combined skills, passions, and interests, we can create groups and events that successfully bring the campus together. I believe that with the Student Center opening next year we will have all the resources we need to make Sonoma State a thriving, vibrant, and engaging university. I'm coordinating my campaign with Anthony Gallino for Vice-President because he is the most hardworking and experienced student representative on campus. He and I have been working together on student life issues since our freshmen year. But we are merely a catalyst for this change .This is our moment to take Sonoma State to the next level and I hope you elect myself and Anthony to lead the way as President and Vice-President of AS. This campus can be better; to do so requires all to play an integral role in the process. This is the future we see for Sonoma State. Let's make Sonoma awesome.
Now more than ever we need an Executive Vice President who will build unity and coalitions between students, faculty, and University Administration in an open and transparent manner. As President Clinton said, "We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more." Since my freshmen year I have been involved and proactive on campus participating in the AS freshmen leadership program, the march for higher education in Sacramento, trained on lobbying and statewide issues at the California higher education student summit and lobbied multiple legislators at the capitol last year. This year I have had the honor as serving on your Associated Students Government and as a Senator I have seen where we can improve as an organization. Through my experience I believe I can use my skills to ensure that the promise of an affordable, accessible and quality education remains. It is time that issues such as class availability, money allocation to the students, food policy revisions, and all types of student services is demanded of our administration. We need leaders who have the leadership qualities in order to stand up to staff, faculty, and administration to provide the students with what they need.If given the honor of being elected as your Executive Vice President I will ensure that our unified voice remains' focused on the issues important to you and I will seek your guidance. I humbly ask for your support.
I am a second year student double majoring in Theatre and Women and Gender Studies. I have dreams of becoming a professor at a university and playwright. I was raised by a single mother at the Fred Warring Farm labor Camp and from my mother I have learned the meaning of hard work ethic, humility and the value of a college education. I have been raised to believe that a person can influence their community no matter their economic, social or legal status they are. My background and experiences have shaped the person I am today and through my experiences, I learned the importance of giving back to the community. Therefore, creating a campus community has been a goal that I have aimed for through my campus involvement including: my positions as : a Zumba instructor at the SSU Recreation Center, Summer Orientation leader, peer mentor for Chicano studies, diversity senator for the Associated Students, actress and assistant director for the Vagina Monologues. I believe in the power of education and the great change that can come from empowering the campus community.
My name is Anthony Gallino and I'm a third year Political Science student. For the past year I have been working hard as the current Executive Vice-President and Chief Academic Officer of the Associated Students, and I must ask for your continued support in my re-election. I have been involved with our academic success since I was a freshman. I have worked on issues regarding stopping new fees, halting unit caps, and demanding better advising. I believe our current needs are continued support in adding classes and resources. We have lived with a campus where it is a struggle to get the classes we need, receive helpful advising academically and in potential careers, and finally where it seems we the students are last in the minds of our administrators, while money is first. With the new Student Center coming online, and the Green Music Center well underway, now more than ever is the need for student representation and advocacy. Academics and resources aside, the community and student cohesion are at an all-time low. This is a chief concern to me, and that is why I am running a coordinated campaign with Mac Hart for President. I believe that Mac has the experience and capability more than anyone else at this school to combat apathy and create unity on campus. Together, Mac Hart and I will guide the AS, and all of its programs and resources, to make SSU reach its full potential, both in and out of the classroom.
Hi I'm Liam Eriksson and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I'm a 20 year old junior, a business management major, and I have been involved in Student Government since I was in 5th grade. Student government at SSU has been vastly overlooked and I'm looking to change that. "Hey Liam, how can you help me individually?" Well, I won't be able to give you all free beers at the pub or slices of Amicis, but I can promise that your hard-earned tuition money won't go to waste; it'll go where you want it to. I am extremely qualified for this position because I have been on the executive board of my fraternity for 3 years, was able to more than double our entire budget as treasurer, am very efficient yet effective with my personal expenses, keep an open mind while being very personable, and will add a new dynamic to Associated Students. If you want to watch a funny yet informative video about my campaign, go to www.youtube.com/truevalueproductions and watch the Vote Liam video. #VoteLIAM #DoItForTheLiams
My name is Matt Dougherty. I grew up in Pacifica, California. I have been involved with leadership since grammar school where I held the position of Treasurer. In high school, I was nominated as delegate to HOBY (a nationally recognized organization that builds leadership skills for sophomores in high school). I also served on the Executive Student Council and was selected to represent the student body during the school's WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation process. I traveled to Washington D.C. and studied our nation's government and economy with my senior class, the same year that I attained the rank of Eagle Scout. At Sonoma State, I served as ASI Business and Economics School Senator and delegate to numerous University Committees. My primary concern is for classes to remain available, especially for graduating students so they are not forced to remain at SSU for an extra semester to get their degree. College fees and tuition costs must remain reasonable and within reach of the Sonoma State Student, and we must assure ourselves as students that the deficiency in state funding does not affect a student's ability to graduate on time. As a double major in Financial Management and Communication Studies here at Sonoma State, I hope to utilize my financial skills and education to manage the budget of our ASI and make sure we receive the most for our money. On April 12th, Bring Matt Back to office. Vote Matt Dougherty for ASI VP of Finance! Go Seawolves!
My name is Antony Dugandzic and I am running for ASI's Vice-President of Finance position at Sonoma State. I am currently a 4th year student pursuing a BS in Business Administration with a double concentration in both Finance and Accounting and I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with the Associated Students this upcoming school year. My education, a combination of finance, accounting, and economics courses, combined with my professional and leadership experience make me an ideal candidate for this role in SSU's Student Government. Highlights from my work and leadership experience include: President of the Finance Club at Sonoma State (2012-2013) Student Ambassador, SSU's School of Business & Economics (2012-2013) Chief Financial Officer of Tau Kappa Epsilon (2012) Walt Disney Studios' Accounting Clerk (Post-Production) for "Oz: The Great and Powerful" (2012) Since joining the SSU community in 2009, I have been motivated to get as involved as possible. I have been an active member within my fraternity as well as SSU's School of Business, and NOW my hope is to pursue a position within our Student Government. ASI acts as the official voice of our student body and I want to use my voice to better our community and ensure we are being served exceptionally. By being elected into this position I know that I will be able to implement changes to better our college experience and create opportunities to get involved. There are many issues that need to be addressed and I want to be a part of the team that resolves these issues. I want to be elected YOUR Vice-President of Finance! And remember: Stay Classy, Sonoma State!
School Senators
Hello Sonoma State University science and technology students! My name is Mallory Rice and I am running for Senator for the School of Science & Technology. After holding the position for the 2012-2013 academic year, I've come to realize what a fantastic opportunity it is to get involved in the SSU campus and play a hands on role in bringing positive change to our school. I hope to hold the same position next year in order to keep improving our campus culture and enhancing the college experience. Make sure to show your support and vote for me for your Science & Technology Senator!
My name is Kian Khatami and I am running for senator for the school of Business and Economics. I have had student governing in the past specifically as a senator and i hope to extend my abilities to help the student body at Sonoma State. I am very understanding when it comes to trouble with academics and if elected will do everything in my power to help you succeed as a Business or Economics major.
Hello, My name is Tyler J. Davis. I am a self-driven, enthusiastic entrepreneur who is running for Business and Economics senator for this coming school year. I am a deeply wired business man and am excited to get a chance to contribute my skills to Associated Students Inc. I am currently working towards earning my Business degree in Financial Management, with a minor in Economics. I have a grounded personality and know that I can level-headedly work with others and help benefit our school by becoming a part of Associated Students. I have continued to perfect my GPA every semester since I arrived—starting with a 3.0 and raising it to a 3.6 this past semester. I enjoy getting involved with many different organizations on campus and as a full-time student, an active member of the Finance Club, and recently elected as treasurer for Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity; I have successfully learned how to balance it all. The reality is that I AM human. I will make mistakes, but I can promise you that I will give it 110% and learn from not only my mistakes but I will learn from my predecessor as well. Quite frankly, I believe Michael Booz did a great job as the Business and Economic Senator this past year. Do I think I will do better? With his guidance and your trust I promise, I will do a great job! Thank you.
Hi, my name is Annie Green and I am thrilled to be running for AS senator of Arts and Humanities. I am currently majoring in English literature and will be a sophomore in the fall. I enjoy reading, writing, crafting, ceramics, designing nail art, scrolling the Internet, painting, and simply being a part of the Sonoma State community. As a senator of AS I hope to not only reach out to those within the school of Arts and Humanities, but also anyone who wishes to make changes or see new programs that will better the department. I am looking to really be seen as a representative that students can come to with issues or additions to the school that they would like to see made and I am full of ideas of my own. I believe I will make an excellent addition to the AS Senate and am really looking forward to becoming a part of the organization.
Growing up in Santa Barbra, California, I was always curious about Northern California. I chose to attend Sonoma State because of the location and distance. I am a political science major and economics minor; I plan to go to law school and become involved with national politics after I graduate. I would love to be a part of AS, the student government, and the senate to enrich the experience of students at SSU and help better the campus. I would love to be a voice for the students at Sonoma State University.

My name is Allison Jenks and I am a third year in the energy managment and design track of the ENSP department. As Sustainability Senator I would like to work on an increase in places around campus where you can refill your water bottles, reduce energy consumption on campus and increase communication between students.There is always so many things that can be done to become more sustainable and I interested to hear from you if you ever have any ideas or questions. Feel free to email me firstname.lastname@example.com
My name is Kayla Galloway and I am running for Involvement Senator! I chose to run for Involvement Senator because I believe being involved on campus is important and can really enhance your experience as a student at Sonoma State! I have been involved in different extracurricular activities all throughout high school as well as during my freshman year here at Sonoma State. Being elected as Involvement Senator would help me develop leadership skills and gain knowledge regarding all the different student organizations on campus. As Involvement Senator, I would try to reach out to all different types of students at SSU and encourage everyone to be involved with some type of student organization. As for me, I am currently freshman at SSU and I am from Vacaville, CA (East Bay). My major is Communications and I love all things MEDIA! I love to keep up with everything within the media, including social media, breaking news, celebrity/Hollywood news and all current events! Other things about me are that I am a HUGE San Francisco Giants fan, my favorite players are Buster Posey and Sergio Romo, I LOVE music and my favorite artist is Taylor Swift. Being elected to Associated Students would help me be further involved within Sonoma State and it would also give me an opportunity to make other students' college experiences the best they can be!!
My name is Angie Durkee and I am running for Associated Students Involvement Senator. I am friendly, energetic, imaginative, approachable, motivated and can't wait to implement change on this campus. Growing up in a culturally diverse environment, having a Latina background, and being fluent in Spanish, has helped me interact positively in a multiethnic atmosphere. Community involvement has always been important to me, as I have developed a better understanding of individuals from different walks of life.When I was 12, I traveled to my mother's homeland in Central America: El Salvador. This is a third world country and I was exposed to a completely different culture. Seeing so many people suffer but yet they were still so happy really inspired me. I learned to be positive, appreciate the smaller things in life, and contribute more to the community.I am currently a volunteer for six different organizations through the JUMP Community Service Program, I hold an appointed position of Club Congress Chair Woman in my sorority, and I am an avid attendee and supporter of on-campus events. I am passionate about improving campus life and the quality of your college experience. I plan on doing so by committing lots of time to creating a more involved, school-spirited setting. I love working with people and will always be open to listening to your ideas. I believe that my willingness to serve SSU's community, my acquired knowledge, experience, skills, involvement, and dedication to the student body make me a qualified candidate.
Hello, my name is Sierra Huntsinger. I am a first year student here at Sonoma. I am running for Involvement Senator. At Sonoma I have been involved in the Rowing team and the newest sorority in campus Alpha Omicron Pi. I am always trying to make the best of my college experience and I find that a great way to do that is to get involved on campus. I think that the events that are offered to us on campus offer great learning experiences and some of a lot of them can be fun! I loved being involved on campus and I find that this is just one more step to being even more involved then I already am. Thank you!
My name is Luke Tesluk and I am running for Student Services Senator.I am a junior at SSU studying Political Science. I am running for Student Services Senator because the types of services and their availability is critical to any student succeeding on campus and I want to help make these services as accessible and beneficial as possible. Student services encompass everything from academic advising to career services and everything in between. However, I feel there are barriers that are keeping students from fully benefiting from these services on campus. As Senator, I will work to break down barriers and improve services so students can have a better college experience and are prepared for life after college. I have been involved on campus as an RSA rep and local village councilmember, a member of Students for Quality Education, a volunteer on some Associated Students (ASI) committees, and interned in Sacramento as a legislative associate for a student's rights advocacy group. I am a regular attendee at the ASI meetings this semester, so I am familiar with how our student government works, how resolutions are put into effect and most importantly, how those resolutions impact student's lives. If elected, I would like to have more student forums to give opportunities for students to offer feedback and perspectives on campus life - input that is critical for ASI to stay informed as to the needs of the student body.Please vote Luke Tesluk for Student Services Senator.Thank you.
My name is Finn Maloney and I am running for student services senator this year. I am a freshman at Sonoma State and believe I have a fresh outlook on some problems and difficulties within the school that others might not be able to see. I have always had a love of helping others and an appreciation for ease and comfort that will be reflected on the student body if I am elected to office. I have also been interested in leadership and student involvement on campus since I chose Sonoma State. I have always tried to do things as easily and efficiently as possible, and would make everyone's experience at Sonoma the most comfortable and accepting possible if given the opportunity.

"Dr. Sarah Holt's new book – Get the Money in the Door – is a very important contribution. She offers a very systematic overview of the mechanics of the complex payment systems that are used by the myriad payers that currently exist in the U.S. health care system and very valuable insights based on her research on the attitudes and behavior of medical office administrative staff. As a result, there is little question that this book will prove to be very useful to medical group managers who are trying to improve their financial management efficiency and effectiveness and health care management faculty who are addressing financial management issues in ambulatory care management."

Project 6
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (TR) are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the transfer of TR specific for islet antigens is an effective treatment for diabetes in animal models raising the possibility that islet specific TR could be used therapeutically to prevent or cure T1D. However in order to realize this goal, methods must be developed to isolate or produce human TR targeted to the pancreatic islet cells in adequate numbers for therapeutic infusion, or alternatively, to enhance the formation of such TR in vivo. In this pilot project we propose to focus on the former approach. Specifically, we will focus on the in vitro generation and expansion of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ TR which arise de novo as a result of activation of CD4+CD25-FoxP3- T cells. We refer to these cells as de novo generated TR (gTR) to differentiate them from TR which are directly isolated from the blood, or those expanded from CD4+CD25+ precursor cells. Our laboratory has demonstrated that activation of CD4+CD25- T cells with APC and peptide followed by isolation utilizing MHC class II tetramers results in gTR of a chosen MHC-peptide specificity. These gTR, like those directly isolated from the blood, will suppress bystander T cell responses in a cell contact dependent manner once activated with their cognate antigen. Thus such antigen specific gTR have the potential for therapeutic application in T1D. This pilot program is designed to extend these findings by developing methods to enhance the generation, isolation and expansion of gTR specific for islet antigens with the purpose of adapting this approach for therapeutic application.
- We first aim to optimize the conditions under which antigen specific gTR can be generated de novo from CD4+CD25- T cells. Initially, isolation and generation of gTR will be optimized by using the foreign antigen HA (306-319). We will then apply these techniques to islet antigens, adjusting conditions to favor the generation of gTR specific for these self antigens. Outcomes will be assessed based on the number, specificity and function of the resulting gTR, as well as by examining FoxP3 expression and cell surface markers of the newly generated gTR.
- We will then aim to determine the optimal activation and culture conditions for the survival and expansion of the de novo generated, islet specific TR. gTRs isolated as per protocols developed in Aim 1 will be expanded in vitro using high dose IL-2, irradiated APC and magnetic beads coated with either αCD3/αCD28 or MHC-peptide monomer/ αCD28. The resulting purity, number, phenotype and suppressive function will be measured to establish the ideal expansion protocol and QC protocols. Protocols developed by the Bluestone and June laboratories in their work to expand TR obtained directly from the blood will complement the studies in this aim and will be applied to the expansion of de novo generated gTR when appropriate.

Explore Suffragettes' records: 100 years on
21 November
One hundred years ago today, the Suffragettes of the Women's Social Political Union, armed with stones and hammers, tried to storm Parliament as their campaign for women's right to vote entered a new, more militant phase.
From 1905 until this time the Suffragettes had held relatively peaceful protests, however in the years that followed 21 November 1911 the levels of violence escalated, from window breaking to major arson attacks. Explore our Metropolitan Police records (Catalogue reference MEPO 2/1488) for details on arrested Suffragettes and the damages.
Records of protest and arrests
The National Archives holds a large collection of records on Suffragettes, many of which contain detailed witness statements, letters of petition and the methods carried out by the Metropolitan Police to arrest those taking part in organised disorders.
Find out more about the police procedures used to arrest Suffragettes (MEPO 2/1438) and to protect polling stations and ballot boxes where the Suffragettes held protests during elections (HO 45/10597/187632). You can also explore records which include complaints of assault against the police (MEPO 3/203).
'Cat and Mouse' Act
Many Suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strike when they were not recognised as political offenders - Home Office records contain police memorandums about arrested Suffragettes who were force fed (see for instance HO 144/1205/221873).
Police had no choice but to release Suffragettes who fell ill after going on hunger strike. To deal with the hunger strikes the government passed The 1913 Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act, also known as the 'Cat and Mouse' Act (CAB 41/34/9). This act allowed a prisoner who had been on hunger strike to be released from prison until she was well enough to be rearrested and complete her sentence.
Protests were put aside as the women joined in the First World War effort between 1914-18. In 1918, women were able to vote in general elections for the first time.
Learn more with the Education Team
Students can work with primary source material held at The National Archives to understand the impact of militant activities on the Suffragettes' cause - see our online resources including workshops and virtual classrooms.
