Hey, 'Heads. Sorry for taking so long … but since 10 a.m., when the doors opened, until just now, when the coach finished talking, it's been one interview after another … and frankly most of them worthless.
So I'm going to start transcribing quotes now, and probably will be selective because it would take up the entire cyberspace if I typed all the words. Starting with Torts, and workng backwards.
Bear with me.
OK, here it comes in waves:
John Tortorella:
"Inconstency was a huge part of our year, in a lot of areas. That falls with me. That's my responsibility in trying to get a team to play consistent. We can sit here and say, 'If you weren't 7-1 and weren't this, that and the other thing at the end of the year, where would you be?' I don't look at it that way. I think we were 7-1 because we had a really good camp, I thought our players were in great shape leaving camp. I think even a few of those games when we were winning them, even at that point, I didn't think we deserved to win them early in the year.
"I look at that part of it, and I look at the middle. You put it all together, and I think with some of the changes that we made — and I thought it was a great deal adding Shelley and Prust; I thought our lockerroom changed — so from the beginning of the year to the end of the year are two different things. I thought our lockerroom was much stronger at the end of the year compared to the beginning.
"Middle of the year (we were) inconsistent and I take responsibility for that. Not winning at home, I think we won 18 games, and the inconsistency through some of our play, belongs with me. That's my responsibility, and that's something that needs to be straightened out. Two days after we can pick apart a lot of things … but the responsibility falls with me with the expectations of having to make the playoffs. And we didn't."
"I think we've got to be careful. Expectations are one thing. Also, from my point of view, you need to be realistic, too. We have a couple of flaws on our team. But as a coach, no team is perfect and you need to work through those flaws to get where you need to be, to get to the top eight. And we didn't. That's where I take responsibility. There are some things we need to fix. We were 7-1-2 our last 10. There are still some things we need to fix and continue to progress with, I think we've got a good core of young players. I think there are some problems outside our young core with some players on this club. So as an organization I think it's important that we assess it properly and be realistic about what it is, what we are. I'm not the general manager, but these are situations that need to come into our meetings here. I think we need to be realistic about what the Rangers are. Are we a No. 9 team, are we a 14 team, are we a top 4 team? But also feel good the do the best wee can to continue to grow that young core. To me, that's exciting. I think it's a good core."

Newton High football, under current third-year head coach Terrance Banks, has pretty much been known as a passing team. But this year the Rams are running the ball down the opposition's throat and it has led to a 5-1 start and, on Friday night, probably the biggest region win during Banks's tenure.
Hey guys ummm our United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) is playing in the 2015 Women's World Cup Final and it should definitely be a thing and maybe it's just me...but so far it's not.
After two games of seeing Cleveland put all of their money on LeBron creating offense on an island and relying on Matthew Dellavedova to "stop" Stephen Curry, we've finally seen Steve Kerr make a necessary adjustment and sit Andrew Bogut for so-far-Finals-MVP Andre Iguodala.
At every high school basketball game there are three games, the girls, the boys and the cheerleaders all compete to see which is better that night. This is extremely true in rival games, particularly Heritage versus Newton, two teams that haven't played much in the past but there seems to be some animosity between the two teams (all in good fun?).
As the Atlanta Falcons sit back and relax on their couches as the NFL playoffs begin, one thing looms in the distance: who's going to be their next head coach? Multiple names have been attached to interview for the job, but the one that stands out the most is New York Jets' former head coach, Rex Ryan.
It was reported on Wednesday by multiple media outlets that former NBA All-star Chris Webber was the face of an investor group interested in buying the Atlanta Hawks. Webber could be the bright light shining through the dark cloud left by former Hawks' owner Bruce Levenson and the notorious email he sent out that started this whole process.
Todd Gurley, has allegedly joined the long list of college athletes getting suspended for signing items for cash, a violation of NCAA rules. UGA has suspended the heisman candidate indefinitely for a violation of NCAA rules, but the investigation is ongoing.
It may not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people. Which is why you should the Washington "Redskins" should take on a new nickname.
ESPN is at it again. The behemoth of sports journalism (lol) entertainment has suspended its highly talented, yet highly controversial analyst Bill Simmons for three weeks for calling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a liar.
For a year now, Lowndes has had this game circled on its calendar because last year Newton went down there and beat them, and this year they're gonna do it again.
It's mid-September. Still hot in these parts despite summer's rumored departure, as autumn's crisp air has yet to appear.
It's Georgia-Sakerlina week and the contest customarily comes equipped with enormous implications.
Before I start let me say that there are many fumbles in regard to the Ray Rice situation (such as Roger Goodell and the Baltimore Ravens' handling of it), but I want to focus on Monday's overreaction to the Ray Rice incident and how it reflects poorly on us as people.

What is the difference between <em> and <strong> ??
And do you agree or disagree with this from StackOverflow:
<strong> is a tag you'd put around a sentence or phrase to indicate that "this is more important than the surrounding text".
<em> is generally used to indicate the stress of a word within a sentence.
As far as I can tell, they play pretty much the same role. They emphasise text. The default rendering of <strong> is bold text and the default for <em> is italic, so which one I use depends on whether I would use bold or italics if I were writing for print.
IMHO, the StackOverflow distinction is an overly ambitious attempt to draw a distinction that isn't there ... although it does seem consistent with the examples presented in the SitePoint Ref:
Strong: http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/strong
Em: http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/em
I guess if that distinction works for you, then go with that. Personally, I don't think I will. If I would use italics for a group of words in print, I would use <em> on the web to indicate the emphasis on all of those words.
<em> and <strong> have remained pretty much the same, there has been a slight realignment in their meanings.
In HTML4 they meant 'emphasis' and 'strong emphasis'. Now their meanings have been differentiated into <em> representing stress emphasis (i.e., something you'd pronounce differently), and <strong> representing importance.
Like I previously stated: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?794298-Best-way-to-style-Inline-Text&p=4984982&viewfull=1#post4984982 less than 14 days ago.
And like I said yesterday...
What do you think about how they explained it on Stack Overflow?
(The emphasis there is also on how many words apply...)
The Stack Overflow answer is mainly irrelevant; since it is actually relating to HTML5, which is not a fully normative markup language unlike HTML 4.01 thus you cannot compare the two... other than HTML 4.01 actually is a recommendation and supported by legacy browsers.
It may have helped if originally it was made clear as mud you were after the Fred5 draft reformulation or to which markup you were attempting to apply it to because that then determines as to whether the #1 quoted text has any value or nought!
However, let's for one moment assume for hypothetical idiocies sake we were talking Fred (#1) then under those conditions; EM would be 'stress emphasis' and 'changes the meaning' whereas STRONG would be 'strong importance' and 'does not change the meaning'.
In which case my answer #4 is still fully correct and only in context (of a differing draft) would #1 be of any value.
Who is Fred? :-/
Earlier this year there was a discussion about the 5 being removed from "HTML5", and somehow out of that discussion arose the suggestion that HTML5 should be called "Fred". I think xhtmlcoder is fixated on it because he's desperate not to have to change his username to html5coder. (Mind you, it sounds better than Fredcoder to me.)
It would matter if any computer, browser, assistive technology or anything else actually made a distinction between those tags and any regular plain old ordinary text, but nobody does.
They're great fun to argue about, but as far as web pages go, you can say em is venus and strong is from mars and it would all be good.

Topic: Stereotactic radiation
I don't know how this works for others, but I wanted to post in this section for anyone who is given this as an option:
I received stereotactic radiation in June/July on the single tumor and the lymph nodes that are active with 2 different mutations of CC. The radiological onc said Monday that he couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Since I am inoperable, I have to live with cancer.
So here are the results of the PET nd CT scans:
The CT has some clips blocking the results due to the embolizations so we ran a PET scan. It showed "mild uptake". and they did not record numbers. The onc says the reason they didn't record numbers is because the cells are barely more active than "normal" cells. I take that as good news.
There will come a time when the cells start becoming active again. It might be months: it might be years. I'm praying for the years. Right now we are going to treat it as a "chronic illness" and watch with CT scans every few months.
I just wanted to share the news for anyone that is given this as an option. The best part is that it was 5 visits, not many many visits. I am maxed out in those areas: I can never receive radiation to those areas again, but the results are wonderful. I also know that it might not work as well for others as it did for me, but it should give you hope.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

[Press Release]
Student Response to Digital Textbooks Climbs, says New BISG Research
More students are using the digital format… and are harder to satisfy
The popularity of digital textbooks may have hit a tipping point in 2012 as preference by college students climbed significantly, according to new research from the Book Industry Study Group (BISG)'s ongoing study of Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education. The first installment in Volume Three of the study, powered by Bowker® Market Research, shows that students' preference for print over digital texts dropped from 72 percent in November 2011 to 60 percent in late 2012. During the same period, preference for online homework systems (MindTap, MyLab, McGraw-Hill Connect, etc.) rose from 9 percent to 14 percent. The picture isn't entirely rosy for digital texts: satisfaction with these works declined in 2012, with only 26 percent of students citing they were "very satisfied" with their digital text, down from 30 percent in 2011. These data and more are available in a PDF Summary Report as of January 25, 2013 and will be shared at BISG's Making Information Pay for Higher Ed Publishing conference on February 7, 2013 in New York.
"Students are warming up to digital textbooks, but they're also becoming more discerning in what they get. Simply transferring a print textbook to a digital format doesn't work with this crowd," said Angela Bole, Deputy Executive Director of BISG. "This is a market that's tremendously dynamic and changing rapidly. It's essential to watch it closely."
The study shows a continuing decline in student commitment to owning the newest text. Less than half of students now purchase a current version of their assigned textbook, down from 62 percent in 2010. Textbook rentals continue to gain traction; now the preferred acquisition method of 13 percent of students—a significant increase over 2011's eight percent.
The study also explores the use of tablets among students, which is growing although it continues to trail laptop and desktop PC use. In 2012, more than 37 percent of students specified they had used a tablet to read digital textbooks, up from 26 percent in 2011. The percentage of respondents specifying laptop computers fell from 82 percent to 72 percent during the same period.
Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education, Volume Three also takes a first-time look parents' level of education as an influence on student attitudes. Not surprisingly, students whose parents had earned higher level degrees were more likely to attend four-year programs, live in campus housing, and rely on parents to pay for course materials. They were also more likely to re-sell their textbooks at the end of the semester. However, students whose parents who had not earned a degree indicated they found their textbooks more useful, compared with students whose parents had earned at least an associate's degree.
The findings from Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education come from a semi-annual online survey of college students, drawn from a nationally representative panel. To ensure the survey questions explore the appropriate trends and issues, they are developed in partnership with a variety of publishers and other companies working in the higher education marketplace. In addition to the core question set, survey sponsors and other interested parties can submit proprietary questions to supplement the core fieldings. Those interested in submitting proprietary questions should contact Nadine Vassallo in the BISG office at 646-336-7141 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Volume Three of Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education is sponsored by Baker & Taylor, Cengage Learning, CourseSmart, Follett Higher Education Group, and Pearson. Survey findings are available for sale both as a PDF Summary Report and as a complete data compendium, accessible online. A substantial discount is available for BISG members.

There's a young Princeton boy who, this spring, became very ill and had to be placed within the pediatric critical care unit in Peoria.
The boy is 12-year-old Ashton Landrus. Many friends and families have kept Landrus in their thoughts and prayers as they've followed his journey back to health.
In May, Landrus experienced a seizure and was taken to Perry Memorial Hospital. From there he was transferred to Peoria and was diagnosed with viral meningitis and encephalitis. Doctors put him in a medically-induced coma to help with recovery.
Since then, members of the community have rallied to do anything they can to help the Landrus family during such a scary time.
Many are following the Facebook page, Ashton Landrus Prayer Group, where they can see and read updates on the young man's progress and leave inspirational messages for the family.
From hearing the stories about Ashton, there is one that I find so touching and inspiring.
A group of Ashton's fellow classmates got together, and with the help of their parents, organized a bake sale to raise money for Ashton and his family.
The students included Khalil Coleman, Emily Hartman, Kamilla Klingenberg, Jimmy Kurth, Christian Kinnamon, Caleb Alter, Liam Duffin and Coby Hill.
The bake sale was held between the homes of parents Jody Coleman and Jodi Hartman.
Many parents helped bake items to be sold, as they used social media and word of mouth to bring awareness to the fundraiser.
On the day of the bake sale, many community members — some who were complete strangers — came bearing baked goods to be sold. They had learned about the sale and wanted to give a lending hand.
When the sale was finished and the monies were counted, the classmates discovered they had raised $2,200. Of that total, $600 alone was from "Ashton's Hike" bracelets, which were made and sold for $3 each.
One of the parents put it just right when she said, "That's a lot of money for just selling cookies and cupcakes."
Talk about a community coming together to help out one another.
I recently got the opportunity to sit down and talk with the students about Ashton and his recovery.
While summer break is supposed to be a time of freedom and relaxation, the students are spending this year's break praying and thinking about their dear friend. Many have even taken trips to the hospital to sit near Ashton's bedside.
They say the whole situation is "freaky" because they have been faced with the hard-life realization that anything can happen to anyone, at anytime and to never take anything for granted. One of the friends spoke up and said it's scary to see a friend hurt like this.
They all want people to know, however, that Ashton is getting better and is now awake from his coma. They say it would be great if Ashton got more visitors, as it would continue to help push him along in his journey to recovery.
Anyone can join the Ashton Landrus Prayer Group Facebook page. It's full of updates and photos of Ashton's progress. People can also visit www.youcaring.com/ashtonshike and make a donation to help with the family's medical expenses.
"Ashton's Hike" bracelets can be purchased at many local stores and restaurants in Princeton. All monies raised from the bracelets are donated to the Landrus family.

Today, April 26, marks World Intellectual Property Day. Although this commemoration might go unnoticed by many, it's worthwhile to imagine for a moment what life would be like without innovation or the inventions innovators produce. Thomas Hobbes famously quipped that humanity without social structure would be "solitary, poor, brutish, nasty and short." The same can be said about humanity without innovation.
April 26th was chosen as the date for World Intellectual Property Day because it coincides with the founding of the World Intellectual Property Organization, otherwise known as WIPO, in 1970. For this year's celebration, WIPO has chosen to focus on "Creativity and the Next Generation."
Inventors, scientists, artists, entertainers, and other creators devote substantial amounts of capital, imagination, persistence and sweat to their work. Intellectual property rights -- in the form of patents, copyrights, and trademarks -- allow innovators to benefit from the fruits of their ideas and inventions. Through royalties from copyrights, patent licensing fees and revenue from brand loyalty attributed to trademarks, large numbers of artists, writers, inventors and entrepreneurs earn money and have the incentive to produce new creative works, inventions and branded products. World Intellectual Property Day celebrates their creativity and the contributions of inventors worldwide. More broadly, a strong intellectual property rights system encourages investment by millions of people in the United States and abroad to engage in ongoing innovation. This is critical for future economic growth in the United States and elsewhere. America's founding fathers considered this to be so important that they included the legal basis for our national patent and copyright system in the U.S. Constitution.
Many nations have adopted strong intellectual property rights systems, which have benefitted not only their own people but also the global economy. Many governments, however, still turn a blind eye to trade secret theft, counterfeiting, and piracy. Some governments also believe in "innovation nationalism" which discriminates against innovators abroad. In the long-term, intellectual property theft or nationalistic innovation restrictions -- that often appear to be attractive options in the short run -- benefit no one. Innovators -- young and old alike--deserve the opportunity to be rewarded for their efforts. And, the world economy benefits from new innovations, and growing collaboration among global innovators, to fuel growth and development.
Inventors and creative innovators should be seen as role models for this generation. It is they who will make the future work! Governments and individuals gain when more and more nations recognize and respect the value of intellectual property rights. All of us have a common interest in protecting and respecting intellectual property rights, which support innovative efforts and creativity.
In addition, our young people, and indeed all creators, inventors and entrepreneurs, must educate themselves about intellectual property rights regimes and take the time to learn how to protect their creations. They must know that a patent is only valid in the country where it is filed. They must consider the quality of intellectual property rights protection in the country, or countries, where they do research, work, manufacture, invest and sell their inventions, so those inventions are protected. Stopfakes.gov is a great place to start that research.
Finally, it is important for recognize the overall cost of failure to protect intellectual property rights. While fake handbags, illegally used software, counterfeit drugs, stolen copyrighted works or pirated movies may look appealing, many people who worked hard to create and produce them suffer from their sale. (And many are downright dangerous such as counterfeit drugs, auto and airplane parts etc.) Moreover, the incentive to put more money, creativity and energy into new creative products is diminished. The economy suffers. And there is a huge ripple effect. So, we all share responsibility to encourage our friends, families, associates, and governments to understand and respect intellectual property rights, for ourselves and coming generations.

- Awful Camera, Great Kid Toy for the Young But Not For Adults Shooting For Memories Review by Jim2U
The lcd screen is tiny and almost unreadable. Figuring out the standard recording setting you have to walk thru a plethora of menu options to get to it and set before you can start recording. Great sealed case, I would just leave it in the display case it comes in because it will waste your time and money. The pictures are so bad it is hard to recognize that your were really at "this place."
The best review I have read stated it is like looking thru the wrong end of binoculars when viewing your videos.
The only thing I can find good about the camera (it looks like an old style camera not designed for action ----> see the design of vholdr contourHD.) is the lexan fiberglass casing in case you crash. Actually, destroying....well returning the camera is the best thing you can do or else your memories will be un-viewable.

Insights Into Our Summer Internship Program
Text Size
Suzanne Gauron, a managing director in our Investment Management Division, started with the firm as a summer analyst. In an interview with BusinessInsider.com, she talks about her background as a humanities major and having had no business experience prior to starting her internship.
"I was invited to come back as a full-time analyst on the same team I worked with in private wealth management," Gauron told BusinessInsider.com. As for the type of person the firm is looking for as an intern, Gauron says, "we're looking for a very diverse set of students. It's not all finance majors."

Google is reported testing a new search results feature that shows the "approximate number of words next to certain search results."
The word count is usually displayed for articles, but only for a small number of results. You'll probably think twice before clicking on a search result that has 50,000 words, unless you're looking for an in-depth report.
Who knows, Google may also add an advanced search feature that lets you restrict the search results to short articles or long documents.
A summarization feature would also be helpful.

Did you know?
Addis in Dar is one of the oldest traditional Ethiopian restaurants in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Addis in Cape brings Ethiopia's history and culture to life through the authentic, fragrant flavours of its delicious cuisine.
Housed in an eye-catching red building with beautiful views of the city's streets, Addis in Cape has become something of a landmark. The interior is warm and inviting, with polished floorboards, low-slung wooden chairs, authentic Ethiopian furnishings and glowing candlelight. Umbrellas hung from the ceiling give a colourful, quirky touch and add to the relaxed ambience of the restaurant.
Historically, Ethiopia was situated on a spice route, influencing its cuisine and giving it rich, sumptuous textures that are heady with herbs and spices.
Addis is a haven for vegetarians and vegans, with a good part of the menu dedicated to meat-free dining. Vegetarian dining in Cape Town is becoming increasingly popular, and vegetarians and vegans have never had so much choice in this cosmopolitan coastal city.
Popular options at Addis in Cape include spiced vegetable curries, split red lentils sautéed with onions, and garlic and home-made chickpea cakes. Dishes are served on a large traditional rice-flour injera pancake (or 'edible tablecloth'), which is torn away in portions and used to scoop the food.
A meal at Addis in Cape is not complete without a cup of robust Ethiopian coffee or fragrant mint tea.

Photo Flash: WEST SIDE STORY at the National Theatre
This spring, West Side Story returns to Broadway in a groundbreaking new production. West Side Story has returned to where it all began for the show in 1957, The National Theatre in Washington, DC. West Side Story will play a limited engagement at the National through January 17th, 2009.
The producers of West Side Story have assembled a dynamic cast for the new Broadway production. The cast of 37 will star Matt Cavenaugh (A Catered Affair, Grey Gardens) as "Tony," Karen Olivo (In the Heights) as "Anita," Cody Green (Movin' Out) as "Riff" and George Akram (The Farrelly's Stuck on You) as "Bernardo." The role of "Maria" will be played by Broadway newcomer Josefina Scaglione. The 21 year old actress comes directly, by special arrangement with Actors' Equity Association, from Buenos Aires after an exhaustive international search for the role. She created the role of Amber Von Tussle in the Argentinean production of Hairspray and the title role in Cinderella. Miss Scaglione is a classically trained opera singer who has received critical acclaim appearing as a soloist in the nation's most prestigious concert halls.
West Side Story will also feature Steve Bassett as "Lt. Schrank," Kyle Brenn as "Boy Soprano," Joshua Buscher as "Diesel," Mike Cannon as "Snowboy," Kyle Coffman as "A-Rab," Joey Haro as "Chino," Eric Hatch as "Big Deal," Curtis Holbrook as "Action," Michael Mastro as "Glad Hand" Danielle Polanco as "Consuela," Jennifer Sanchez as "Rosalia," Lee Sellars as "Krupke," Tro Shaw as "Anybodys," Ryan Steele as "Baby John," Greg Vinkler as "Doc" along with Madeline Cintron, Lindsay Dunn, Matthew Hydzik, Marina Lazzaretto, Chase Madigan, Kaitlin Mesh, Pamela Otterson, Sam Rogers and Amy Ryerson as "The Jets" and Isaac Calpito, Haley Carlucci, Peter John Chursin, Yurel Echezaretta, Manuel Herrera, Yanira Marin, Mileyka Mateo, Kat Nejat, Christian Elan Ortez, Michael Rosen, Manuel Santos, Michaeljon Slinger and Tanairi Sade Vazquez as "The Sharks."
Directed by multiple Tony Award winner and author of the musical Arthur Laurents, West Side Story will feature scenic designs by James Youmans (Gypsy), costumes by Tony Award nominee David C. Woolard (The Farnsworth Invention, The Who's Tommy), lighting by Tony Award winner Howell Binkley (Gypsy, Jersey Boys), hair by Mark Adam Rampmeyer (The Farnsworth Invention) and sound design by Tony Award nominee Dan Moses Schreier (Gypsy, A Catered Affair). The original Jerome Robbins choreography will be reproduced by Tony Award nominee Joey McKneely (The Boy from Oz, The Life).
West Side Story is written by three theatrical luminaries: two-time Tony Award winner Arthur Laurents (book) and multiple Tony and Grammy Award winners Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) in his Broadway debut.
West Side Story is produced by Kevin McCollum, James L. Nederlander, Jeffrey Seller with Terry Allen Kramer, Sander Jacobs, Freddy DeMann, Roy Furman, Robyn Goodman / Walter Grossman, Hal Luftig, Roy Miller and Broadway Across America.

PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing's (BA.N) extraordinary effort to solve battery problems that hit the 787 Dreamliner early this year did not disrupt progress on other aircraft programs, which remain on schedule.
"It didn't slow down development," despite doing three years of work in three months to fix the problem of overheating batteries on the 787, said Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner, speaking at a news briefing ahead of the start of the Paris air show which opens on Monday.
Conner said the company expects to deliver 11 or 12 787s by the end of the first half, counting from when the grounding of the 787 ended in April.
One 787 was delivered in January before the worldwide 787 fleet was grounded. Two lithium ion battery incidents aroused safety concerns with regulators, prompting the grounding.
Conner said Boeing was on track to deliver more than 60 Dreamliners this year, as promised.
Conner said the outlook remains positive for further increases in production rates and there were no constraints in the supply chain. But he said further rate increases are not yet a certainty, and the company is focused on bringing production costs down.
The company has said previously that there is an "upward bias" in production rates, but has not been specific on whether it would actually move to increase production beyond already established targets.
He added that costs associated with Boeing's focus on improving its supply chain would not alter the timeframe for profitability of the 787, which is due to break even in 2015.
Conner said Boeing is seeing strong demand for aircraft and that since production for current 737 models bridging to the next-generation 737MAX is almost fully booked, it is hard for customers to order airplanes.
"We haven't made any decisions but we have to think our way through," he said. "Do we want to look at higher rates? What's the capacity, both within the Boeing Company and the supply chain?"
Boeing is experiencing similar demand for widebody models such as the 787 and 777, Conner added.
He said there weren't constraints in the supply chain provided rates didn't go too high. The capital investment needed to raise the rate of 737 production to the current level of 38 a month and to 42 per month next year had left some scope to raise the rate further. "There is room to do that," he said. "it's really a question of whether or not we want to."
Boeing is currently building 8.3 of its 777 wide-body jets per month and 7 of its 787s. It aims to increase 787 production to 10 a month by year-end, but hasn't announced a further target for 777 production.
It is also building two 767 tankers per month under contract to the U.S. Air Force, and 1.75 of its 747-8 jumbo jet, where demand has slackened. Conner said the company remains committed to the 747 and that it expects more orders to arrive as a result of ongoing sales campaigns.
He said the company expects "a decent show" of orders at the Paris air show, but cautioned that airlines don't always sign deals in time for such events.
He said Boeing was having detailed discussions on the 777X, the next generation of its best-selling wide-body plane. He declined to comment on whether the 787-10X would be launched in Paris.
Boeing is poised to launch the larger version of its 787 Dreamliner jetliner family to meet demand for long-haul travel within Asia and other long-haul routes at the air show, sources told Reuters on Thursday.
Boeing is working to reduce costs so it can compete even more on price with Airbus. The competition will benefit airline customers and is healthy, and he declined to call it a pricing war.
"We're going to fight," he said, noting that to compete on price it has to bring production costs down.
He said there certainly would be a third competitor in the narrow-body market and that would further increase price pressure and require cost cutting.
China's COMAC, Canada's Bombardier (BBDb.TO) and possibly Brazil's Embraer (EMBR3.SA) are likely to challenge the Boeing-Airbus duopoly in the narrow-body jet market, he said.
"I just anticipate that they'll all be there," because they've made the investment to develop new planes, he said.

Topic: Information and Recommendations about Chemo-related Hair Loss
Some facts about hair growth:
On an average,there are 100,000 hairs on the scalp and of which 100-150 are lost normally daily in the cycle.
Hair grows at a rate of 0.35mm per day.
Approximately 85-90% of hair follicles are in the active growth phase at any time.
there are 3 grades of hair loss.
Grade1=less than 25% of hair;obvious to patients but not to others.
Grade2=25-50% loss; obvious thinning but enough to lead to the use of a wig.
Grade 3=>50% loss and a wig may be needed.
Randomized controlled trials suggest significantly less hair loss with scalp hypothermia but it may not be as effective in patients with liver dysfunction.
Among the drugs used to treat CC, ,epirubicin,paclitaxel,irinotecan are those most likely to cause complete hair loss.;5FU,gemcitabine ,mitomycin are less common and Carpoplatin,Cisplatin and Capecitabine are the least common to cause hair loss. EGFR inhibitors like erlotinib(Tarceva) ,sorafenib(Nexavar) and sunitinib (up to 50% of patients) and MoAb like cetuximab(Erbitux) may cause hair thinning and most of them are reversible except in some cases after treatment of gefitinib(Iressa).
In short,high dose of chemo, and combination chemotherapy reigmens are more likely to result in hair loss than are single agents , by oral administration and low -dose therapy and weekly administration.
Because the chemotherapy-associated hair loss is transient and reversible after cessation of the treatment; counseling and psychological support before and during therapy should be considered first over the use of devices such as scalp hypothermia and scalp tourniquet because of case reports of cutaneous metastases and therefore preclude the recommendation for there use.
No pharmacologic interventions is available to treat chemo-related hair loss effectively at this point.--From uptodate.com literature review version. 18.2.
God bless.

It wasn't so long ago that staff at the Museum had to
contemplate putting our specimens of Black-footed
Ferrets (BFFs) into the "extinct critters" cabinet alongside
Passenger Pigeons, Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, and Carolina
Parakeets. Never numerous, but widespread where there were
large Prairie
Dog colonies, the ferret's population nose-dived in the middle
of the 20th Century. A main contributor to the
devastation of BFF numbers was the severely reduced large colonies
of Prairie Dogs due to eradication and to plague
infestations. By the mid-1970's, a poster was put out with a
call to find a live ferret; the fear was they were all dead, and
headed for a page in the book of recent extinctions.
But due to a stroke of good fortune, a lone, last family of BFFs
was discovered near Meeteetse,
Wyoming in September 1981. Using the members of this one family
of ferrets, a multi-agency/conservation organization effort
recovery program was initiated that is headquartered in Wellington,
Colorado. Captive breeding facilities provide animals for
release sites in 8 states in the U.S. as well as in Mexico.
For more information on the program, visit the Black-footed
Ferret Recovery Program website.
DMNS has historical specimens of BFFs in our collections,
including some that may surprise residents of the Denver
metropolitan area. Once, the BFF occurred up and down the
Front Range: we have a specimen from Adams County dated to 1916,
and one from Park Hill (the Museum's neighborhood) in Denver dated
at 1912. BFFs need around 8,000 acres of Prairie Dogs to
establish a viable population, so there must have been large
colonies of Prairie Dogs here in the past.
Recently, the
USF&WS transferred two BFFs to the Museum; one of these,
above, may be seen on display in the North American Mammals

Perez continues to dazzle as Rangers sweep A's
Left-hander extends scoreless-innings streak to 26 with shutout
OAKLAND -- Martin Perez extended his scoreless-innings streak to 26, won the battle of the undefeated pitchers and helped the Rangers finish off a three-game sweep of the Athletics on Wednesday at the O.co Coliseum.
Perez, going up against Oakland right-hander Sonny Gray, pitched his second consecutive shutout as the Rangers moved into first place in the American League West with a 3-0 victory. The win gave the Rangers their first three-game sweep of the Athletics since Aug. 12-14, 2011, in Oakland. Texas won 10 of its last 13 games.
Perez, with his fourth victory in five starts, allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three. The 26 consecutive scoreless innings is now the seventh longest by a Rangers pitcher. The record is 39, set by Kenny Rogers in 1995.
"What a pitcher," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He did a great job against a great hitting team. He knows how to pitch, he has weapons and he throws them all for strikes. He has poise and he does a great job of staying within the game plan. That's a smart hitting team over there, and he gave up what, three hits? That tells you he's arrived, and he's done it before our very eyes."
Perez also allowed just three hits in a shutout against the White Sox last Friday. He is the first Rangers pitcher to ever throw back-to-back shutouts on three hits or less. Since Charlie Hough threw three consecutive shutouts in 1983, the only other Rangers pitcher to have back-to-back shutouts is Derek Holland in 2011.
"I feel great ... two complete games, but I'll celebrate more when we get a World Series championship," Perez said. "Execution ... executing my pitches and keeping the ball down. That's the big thing for me ... that and trusting my stuff 100 percent."
Perez gave up leadoff singles to Jed Lowrie in the fourth and Derek Norris in the fifth, then erased them both by getting the next hitter to ground into a double play. The Rangers have turned 11 double plays behind Perez in his first five starts. They turned 13 in 20 starts for him last year.
The Athletics didn't get a runner in scoring position until a one-out double by Josh Donaldson in the seventh. Perez responded to that by getting Yoenis Cespedes on a grounder to third and, after Norris walked, Alberto Callaspo on a grounder to short.
"We hit some balls hard on the ground, but obviously, that's what they're trying to do," Donaldson said. "Their defense played well behind him.
"He keeps the ball off the barrel of the bat -- whether it's a little sink, a little cut, changeup, curveball, slider," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "The reason he can get deep into games is he's not striking a lot of guys out. He's just keeping it off the barrel of the bat."
Perez, who threw eight scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Astros on April 13 to start the streak, is the first Major League pitcher with two straight shutouts since Cole Hamels for the Phillies in August 2012. Perez is now 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA after five starts.
"He's amazing," catcher Robinson Chirinos said. "He's throwing the ball well, it's tough to hit when everything you throw is down in the zone. I'm happy for him. He prepares himself before every start, he works hard. He deserves this."
Gray was 3-0 over four starts coming into the game, but Michael Choice got the Rangers started in the first inning by drawing a leadoff walk and scoring on a one-out triple by Alex Rios. Prince Fielder, against a drawn-in infield, followed with a grounder to Lowrie, the Athletics shortstop who threw home trying to get Rios. Plate umpire Larry Vanover originally called Rios safe, but Melvin challenged the call, which was overturned on review.
The Rangers added another run in the fifth when Leonys Martin beat out an infield single, was bunted to second by Josh Wilson and scored on a single by Choice. A home run by Donnie Murphy made it 3-0 in the sixth.
Perez did the rest. Washington did not have to get a reliever up in the bullpen until the ninth inning. He had closer Joakim Soria loosening up just in case, but Perez set down the Athletics in order and sent the Rangers off to Seattle in first place with a day off on Thursday.
"It's three games," Washington said. "It's no big significance, because you never know what it will be like the next time we play them. We won three games here because we played very well. We're pleased to get three games here, but we have to continue to play baseball."

Not sure what type of programmer/developer will need to be contracted for this, or just how involved of a process it may be. But if each member of SE could customize their own filter for content, well, shit would be amazing.
Imagine if I could opt out of any roundup posts with over 10 slides of previously covered content.

Bill Moss, a 31-year veteran of the Wilson County School System whose position was eliminated by the director of schools in September, has filed a lawsuit in Wilson County Chancery Court against Dr. Tim Setterlund and the Wilson County Board of Education alleging wrongful termination.
The lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by The Wilson Post, alleges that Moss' "dismissal was not due to the abolition of his position, and, as a result, he was denied his statutory and constitutional right to notice and an impartial hearing before the board."
Attorney Michael Clemons of Clemmons & Clemons PLLC, in Nashville, who filed the suit on behalf of Moss, said that Moss "felt that the abolishment of his position was done by Dr. Setterlund without authority to circumvent the benefits he would been entitled to under the law otherwise."
According to the lawsuit, "Setterlund illegally abolished Moss' position in order to terminate Moss and circumvent his rights under the Teacher Tenure Act" and avoid Moss' legal right to be provided "sufficient notice and a hearing before the Board."
"Mr. Moss obviously chose to retire because it was the only option he had. He had no desire to retire," Clemons said.
As previously reported by The Post on Sept. 20, Setterlund, who replaced Mike Davis as the new director of schools on July 1, called Moss into his office on Friday, Sept. 13, to tell him that his position as Career & Technical (CTE) Supervisor had been eliminated.
The lawsuit states "Setterlund further stated that he and Moss had differing visions for the school system," and that when Moss asked if the director thought they could work together, "Setterlund responded that he could not work with Moss."
At the time of Moss' firing, Setterlund told The Post, "Not everyone may share my vision. I'm examining the whole Central Office structure to ensure that it is efficient, cost effective and will achieve the goals of the district."
The suit also alleges that Setterlund provided Moss with a letter dated, Sept. 13, 2013, that stated that his position had been abolished as "part of a restructuring of the Central Office and the supervisory personnel of Wilson County Schools" in accordance with Tennessee law and that his last day of employment was that day.
Additionally, the suit alleges that Setterlund told Moss that in order to keep his insurance, he would need to retire, which Moss "had no desire" to do "but complied … due to his need for income and insurance benefits."
The suit states that Setterlund then presented Moss with a Separation Notice to complete and told him he would need it back by 5 p.m., and that he was "forbidden from returning to his office and was instructed to go immediately to the human resources department."
The suit also alleges that although Setterlund's letter states "tenure does not attach to a supervisory position," Section 49-5-501(11) of the Tennessee Code Annotated states that "teacher" includes " teachers, supervisors, principals, director of schools and other certified personnel employed by any local board of education, …"
Additionally, the suit claims that "minutes of the Board" do not show that "it took any action or made any decision regarding Moss' position, the abolishment of which was done arbitrarily and capriciously by Defendant Setterlund in violation of state law, including the Teacher Tenure Act and Board policies."
According to the lawsuit, Moss was not provided "any pre-abolishment notice of termination, explanation of abolishment of his position, or the opportunity to be heard."
In addition, the suit alleges that even though Setterlund's letter stated Moss would be "placed on a preferred list for employment," the veteran CTE educator never was. That is a violation of Tennessee state law regarding the employment of educators if the termination is due to downsizing or other eligible factors, according to the suit.
The suit states that the BOE's "reduction in force" policy requires the director to recommend to the board the employees "to be released when a reduction in force is necessary." However, the suit alleges no such recommendation was ever made to the Board prior to his termination, and "Moss' position was included in the budget approved by the Wilson County Commission at their August 2013 meeting."
Additionally, the suit states that the "Board failed to evaluate or determine Mr. Moss' fitness for reemployment, and the Board has never provided, on the record, the basis for terminating or failing to reemploy Mr. Moss or for abolishing his position" all required by Tennessee law, hence, "The Board failed to exercise reasonable care and caution in assuring that its Director of Schools did not assume their statutorily required duties."
The suit asks the court to find that the actions of Setterlund and the board denied Moss his rights under state law, and that they pay damages "including back pay and front pay, as well as compensatory damages for humiliation and embarrassment," along with "punitive damages" and his costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Wednesday afternoon, Mike Jennings, attorney for the Wilson County Board of Education, acknowledged that his office had received a copy of the lawsuit, but that he had not been formally served.

A single Dan Holman goal in the third minute was enough to shoot Braintree Town past the Shots as the Iron recorded their tenth home Skrill Premier win of the season with a 1-0 success against Aldershot Town.
It was a welcome return to winning ways for the Iron as they bounced back from two defeats by Lincoln City and boss Alan Devonshire was pleased to avoid making it three in a row.
He said: "There aren't many times when we've gone on a run of defeats so to get back to winning ways again was great.
"It was something we told them before the game and I'm delighted for them.
"It was a nice clean sheet as well and I think Nick (Hamann) only had one save to make from an overhead kick.
"A few more flashed across the goal, but to be fair, I thought we looked quite comfortable.
"I said that to (assistant manager) Keith (Rowlands) with about 15 minutes to go and sometimes it can be the kiss of death but credit to the lads on this one.
"We had a bit of a patched up side out.
"I have to mention the two centre-halves (Dean Wells and Matt Paine) as I thought they were really good and I thought Dan Sparkes, who's a winger playing left-back, did really well for us.
"The whole team did.
"I'm delighted for them.
"They dug in again and have got another good result for us."
The three points were settled early in the game when Holman's persistence in chasing what looked a lost cause paid off.
A mix-up between former Colchester United full-back Chris Barker and Shots keeper Glen Morris gave the Iron striker the opportunity to nip in before either of the defensive duo, poke his toe to the ball and roll it in.
Aldershot responded well and Craig Stanley should have done better with a header from eight yards that he could only direct wide of the target, but the Iron gradually nullified any threat from the visitors.
At the other end James Mulley struck the outside of the post with a shot after a clever ball by Chez Isaac set him free, but the half ended with the hosts holding a slender lead.
Braintree were far more comfortable after the break and went agonisingly close to doubling their lead when Dan Sparkes struck the woodwork for a second time from a free-kick, but a second goal wouldn't come.
The visitors pressed for an equaliser as the game wore on, with Ryan Peters clearing off the line from an effort by Bradley Bubb and the Shots substitute also had an overhead kick well saved by Hamann as Braintree held on.

PACE, Fla. – Goeun Lee led the Lions for the second straight day and carded the only Eagle of the afternoon as she brought in a second-round score of three-over 75 on day two of the NCAA Division II Women's Super Region Tournament. The Saint Leo women's golf team (308-309—617) concluded the second round in fifth place overall, dropping just one spot from their first day fourth place finish.
Lee secured her Eagle on the third hole of the par-72, 6154 yard Stonebrook Golf Club in Pace, Fla., but added two strokes from day one (73-75—148) to sit eighth in the individual standings.
Clare Connolly picked up two strokes to fire a five-over 77 on day two (79-77—156), while Heather Petronis and Ragna Olafsdottir both fired a second round total of seven-over 79 and sit 26th after carding identical scores of 78-79—157.
Laura Huertas rebounded three strokes for a six-over 78 (81-78—159) on the second day, and will tee off first for the Lions on the final day of competition.
Florida Southern (302-296—598) continues to hold onto the top spot, while Barry (305-300—144), Nova Southeastern (308-300—608), and Lynn (303-311—614) come in at second through fourth, respectively. Individually, Lilliana Camisa and Abbey Gittings from Nova Southeastern hold onto the first and second slots, while Barry's Nancy Vergara sits third in the standings.

Horrible side effects. Water retention, stomach cramps, acid reflux, bloating, sweating, hot flashes, flushes, dizziness, blurred vision, faintness, weakness, fatigue, slow reflexes, loss of appetite, headaches.
I started on this 3 months ago for my hypertension and it works great. I was on Toprol 50mg and now on Toprol 25mg and Norvasc 5mg. This is a great combination for me. I definitely can recommend it.
Taking 5 mg each morning has been keeping my blood pressure below 120/80.
I felt dizzy at first, but only for the first week despite the small dosage (2.5 mg) which I thought wasn't helping much. After taking this steadily for over 2 months my blood pressure is OK and sometimes just a little below 120/80. I take several other vitamin supplements and only one other prescription, I'm fairly healthy with exercise and watching what I eat. If you take this as blood pressure medication, just be patient. It is working.
I took Novasc 2.5 mg 1 tab in the evening for high blood presure for 3 days. I had the following side effects with no reduction in BP: headache, drowsiness, dizziness all the time with very drizzy when standing up, nausea, diarhea, urinating every 15 minutes, insomnia, and very strange dreams (night mares). I will never take this drug again.
The worst side effect I have had is severe edema from my knees down to my feet, which actually appear discolored and feel numb. My feet burn and I have to remove my shoes and put my feet up for hours. I was told that due to my heart condition I need to walk, but this brings on the edema, so what good is that? I have to take Lasix and another Dieretic (3 pills) to counteract the side effect of this one. It does help with the angina, though, but the side effects are taking a toll on everyday life. The edema started 8 days after treatment started.
Still on Norvasc, but up to 10 mg I now use this at 10 mg with Lisinopril 40 mg and HCTZ 12.5 mg. My systolic stays about 140-145 and my diastolic 70-90. I am much more tired with Norvasc, but I am trying like hell to avoid the zombie effects of beta-blockers.

Paul Rovey, a dairy farmer from Arizona knows first-hand how important telling your story to consumers is. Rovey's dairy is surrounded by urban development in Glendale, Ariz. "We work very hard to communicate with our neighbors and tell our story," Rovey told attendees at World Dairy Expo this week.
But in addition to telling your story, one has to be able to handle the difficult questions that come along with it. The phrase, "the best defense is good offense" holds true for handling difficult questions. There are techniques to handling difficult questions with finesse. People will remember how you handled a difficult situation even more than what you said.
Dairy Management Inc., offers these tips to handle difficult questions you may encounter:
1. Be a strong listener. In a situation where there are conflicting opinions, it's easy to ignore what the other person is saying. Ten seconds into a conversation you may want to focus on one sentence that affects you. Sometimes you begin forming your reply, while ignoring everything else being said. By immediately defending your position, you send the signal that you've stopped listening. Once that happens, you automatically set the tone for the conversation that indicates, "I'm right and you are wrong."
Next time, try listening before responding – no matter how many hairs may be standing up on the back of your neck! Listening bridges the gap between you and the speaker.
2. Ask questions. By asking to learn more from the speaker, you demonstrate an interest in their thoughts and show you are trying to understand the basis of their assumptions or attitudes. Instead of immediately defending yourself, ask questions, such as, "Help me understand how you came to form you opinion? Have you ever had this experience before? Did someone else tell you this information?"
At first, it may be difficult to refrain from playing defense. By listening and asking questions, however you gain knowledge that helps in addressing your opponent's concerns and advancing your position. At the same time, you show courtesy, reinforce confidence and gain respect and trust.
3. Make sure you heard what they said. Repeat what you hear in your own words. For example, "I think what you are asking is, do I care about my animals?" You should see or hear an affirmation or clarification, then proceed with your answer. Especially when diverse opinions are offered, it is easy to completely miss the point being made. Repeating or restating their concern in your own words lets the speaker know you are listening.
4. Find common ground. Often listening is reduced to hearing only those differing opinions. It is possible to be engaged in a heated discussion and still have something in common. Starting a sentence with "I know we can both agree that we have a passion for caring for animals…" diffuses the situation and leads to finding a logical conclusion. Focusing solely on your differences never advances the situation. Finding common ground may not change an opinion, but it is the first step toward being heard. Furthermore, it can lead to more dialogues and, eventually, problem-solving.
5. State your principles. One way to connect is to state your beliefs or principles. Your principles tell a story. If someone is questioning your commitment or practices ask, "May I share with you my beliefs?" When they say "yes," continue with stating your case: "I believe that caring for animals is my top priority. Second, I…"
Another example is: "What I hear you asking is, 'do I care'? I spend every day caring for animals."
6. Break the rhythm. It's important to break the rhythm of an adversarial questioner when you realize they are asking increasingly volatile questions. You can do this by beginning your response with "Let's step back and look at the bigger picture." This diffuses a threatening style and takes the emotional edge off a heated exchange.
7. Bring up the subject of concern. By being proactive, you can control the tone and exhibit the transparency regarding the topic. The fact that you brought it up prior to the questioner diffuses the subject matter. Transparency increases trust.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated June 29th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: "You were against the concept of interfaith dialogues before, what happened now that you've become a part of the propaganda of Christianity they call the interfaith dialogues?" Interfaith dialogues.. Well, a Christian may come by and you listen to him, you have him as your guest, you converse, he talks to you and you talk to him. And that is a dialogue, so you talk. But why is there the need to call that a dialogue? I do not like that word; dialogue. You have discourses, you talk, you become friends with him, right? You show compassion, you establish connections, you listen to his ideas and you tell him your ideas. He tells you about Christianity and you tell him about Islam; let him talk, that is nice. You can talk about the beautiful aspects of Islam and you tell him about the aspects Islam is in harmony with Christianity. We resolve upon striving against irreligiousness, we talk and say "Let us agree on the Oneness of Allah" and say; "let us agree on love for the Prophets", we say; "let us agree on belief in the Hereafter, in struggling against Darwinism and materialism." We say; "Let us act in coalescence, let us unite". Okay, there is no need to use the word "dialogue". There is nothing wrong in this, yet it is something very favorable. And that is determined by the verses of the Qur'an. In the Qur'an Allah says "Only argue with the People of the Book in the kindest way" to us. ".. in the kindest way" What is this? That is dialogue, talking; that is the obvious meaning of the verse. Allah wants us to talk to them, to converse with them, to treat them nicely. Allah tells us that we can marry them. We can have their women as our lawfully wedded wives. We can go to their dinners, we can organize dinners, we can invite them to our dinners, they can come to our houses, we can go to theirs. Making friends with them, Allah says that in the Qur'an. We can unite in "Allah is One". Allah says in the Qur'an that we should tell them that Allah is One, so we tell them that. Allah tells us to unite in that. We act in coalescence against unbelief, that is because we consider the People of the Book as our allies against unbelief, against Godlessness. There is nothing wrong in that. Those who give a struggle against this, are acting irrational, they are acting against the Qur'an. And that has no meaning. What they aim is uncertain anyway. Furthermore Christianity is not a threat. Christianity is not such a strong movement of belief, Christianity is very weak. That is the reason why Europe is in such a wretched situation. No one wants to become Christian, churches are constantly becoming vacant and are being closed. That means Christianity is not such an active, vibrant, strong religion. But Islam is strong, teachings are rational and reasonable. Consequently there is no logic in keeping clear of Christianity. There are sometimes some bone headed types, they are suspicious about everything, they have doubts about everything; now they are employing a policy of hatred thinking that if Christians are given freedom, Muslims will be given freedom as well. Those who hate Christianity
would hate Islam and Judaism as well. They come to feeling love only to communism. They employ that as a step to attack Islam, as the first step. Why should we be enemies to a Christian? They are the People of the Book. In the Qur'an Allah says; [I seek refuge with Allah from the satan] "You will find the people most affectionate to those who have iman are those who say, 'We are Christians'." That is a verse of the Qur'an.

HOUSTON - Three bank robbery suspects were arrested after a police chase ended in a west Houston cemetery, investigators said.
Houston police said two men held up the Amegy Bank in the 1500 block of Eldridge Parkway on Wednesday morning.
A woman was in the bank during the robbery said the men held her hostage.
"My heart is still beating fast," she said. "He just ran in and pointed the gun at us, jumped over the counter. They got the money and ran out."
Officers said they spotted the suspects and the getaway driver and tried to stop them, but the trio led them on a chase that lasted less than 10 minutes.
The chase ended at Forest Park Cemetery in the 2400 block of South Dairy Ashford, police said. Several headstones were damaged or destroyed.
"It's horrible. How could do do that? People lost that person they ran over. It's like going through it again," Diana Santarose said.
Two guns and money stolen from the bank were found in the suspects' car, police said.
All three suspects were taken into custody. Their names have not been released.

Free PDF Document Importer
FPDI is a collection of PHP classes facilitating developers to read pages from existing PDF documents and use them as templates in FPDF, which was developed by Olivier Plathey. Apart from a copy of FPDF, FPDI does not require any special PHP extensions.
As of version 1.2.1 FPDI can also be used with TCPDF.
FPDI is published under the MIT license as of version 1.6 (Versions before were released under the Apache Software License, Version 2.0).
The usage is very easy: open the document, put a page into a template, and use it like an image!
FPDI is the first PHP/PDF script by Setasign. Inspired by an article of Marco Tabini in the php[architect] magazine, Setasign wrote the first version of FPDI in 2004.
It is based on another extension for FPDF that adds a kind of template feature to FPDF: FPDF_TPL. This class is a requirement for FPDI and can be downloaded in the downloads area as well. It is bundled in FPDI as of version 1.5.
FPDF_TPL does not only prepare FPDF for FPDI, but offers many other advantages:
- data of templates are included in a PDF document only once
- less memory usage
- less generation time
- smaller PDF files
- recursive template support (use of templates in templates)
Examples of use:
- Header generation
- Grids for large tables over several pages
- Table headers
- write behind or in front of a template
- resize a template after creation
- etc.
It's FREE!
The »F« in FPDI stands for »free«: you may use it for any kind of project and adapt it to your needs - the license conditions of the MIT are met nevertheless.
PDF Documents > 1.4
Do you need support for PDF documents with a version higher than 1.4? Check out the new FPDI PDF-Parser!
Do you like this product?
Then it would be awesome, if you'd recommend it to your friends!

Remembering What's Important
"Love the giver more than the gift." –Bringham Young
Giver – One who gives; a donor; a bestower; a grantor; one who imparts or distributes.
While gadgets, fashions and fabulous jewelry will certainly bring a smile to our faces, what about the people who have spent their time, energy and money to make that joy possible?
I encourage us all to remember who and what is important, during the holiday season and always.

The Global Outreach Office receives many inquiries annually as to what resources might be obtained for leading and/or developing a Short Term Missions ministry. Below is a brief annotated bibliography followed by an additional listing of resources which may be of use.
Serving with Eyes Wide Open by David Livermore
Your passport to learning how short-term missions can best serve Christ's kingdom. Short-term mission trips are great ways to impact the kingdom. Yet they can lack effectiveness because of mistakes or naivete on the part of participants. In this insightful and timely book, David A. Livermore calls us to serve with our eyes open to global and cultural realities so we can become more effective cross-cultural ministers. Serving with Eyes Wide Open is a must-have book for anyone doing a short-term mission or service project, whether domestic or overseas.
The Essential Guide to the Short Term Mission Trip by David C. Forward
A helpful and concise guide to the most essential preparatory aspects for a STM. This is the most holistic guide to determining whether to organize a STM all the way through the return. The narrative is easy to read and insightful. Chapters are organized chronologically through the process of leading a STM.
Stepping Out: A Guide to Short Term Missions by Tim Gibson, Steve Hawthorne, Richard Krekel, and Kn Moy.
A compilation of short articles by numerous facilitators of STM. This is not a step by step guide for leaders but rather provides bite-size chunks of food for thought to team members. Recommended uses include assigning relevant chapters to team members for reading and discussion. Almost all chapters are less than 8 pages in length. Though some of the material is dated (published in 1992), the last section on returning home contains timeless principles for debriefing.
A Guide to Short Term Missions by H. Leon Greene
The main chapters of this book contain helpful material, but the real benefit of this resource is found in the appendix. The author is a medical doctor with extensive experience on medical ministry trips. His quick reference guide to illnesses, diseases and immunizations is a helpful introduction to the uninitiated lay leader. Overall, this is a good supplemental resource, but not a comprehensive guide as the title indicates.
Short-term Missions Workbook by Tim Dearborn
A pre-field curriculum for teams to work through individually and as a group. This resource helps a leader prepare a team in cross-cultural communication, team dynamics, and spiritual readiness for the mission ministry. The author does an excellent job of rooting the principles he is communicating in scripture and calling the team member to dig and reflect on his own. Even if not used as a curriculum for a team, STM leaders may find the group exercises for team development and the bible studies fodder for team devotions.

PHILADELPHIA – Penn squash heads north to Williamstown, Mass. for a match against Williams on Friday at 4:30 p.m. at the Simon Squash Center. The Quakers enter the weekend fresh off strong wins at Drexel, while the Ephs have not played since Nov. 17.
The fifth-ranked women's team swept Drexel on Wednesday, 9-0, and are now 3-0 on the season. The Quakers have yet to lose a set this year, with their first two wins coming against Bates and George Washington, both 9-0, in Washington, D.C.
They will face a No. 10 Williams team that may be a bit rusty, having not played since their upstate New York road trip, Nov. 16-17. That was the Ephs' (1-2) only weekend of action to this point, defeating Hamilton, 9-0, in Clinton on the 16th, and falling to Stanford, 8-1, and Cornell, 9-0, in Ithaca on the 17th.
The last time these two teams met was on Dec. 10 of last season when the Quakers hosted Williams at the Ringe Courts. Penn defeated the Ephs, 9-0, and now lead the all-time series, 21-9.
The No. 14 Penn men come off a hard-fought 6-3 win against Drexel. The Quakers are now 2-1 on the year after splitting in Washington, D.C., defeating Bates, 5-4, but falling to George Washington by the same score.
The Red and Blue will match up with No. 12 Williams. The Ephs (1-2) most recently fell to Western Ontario, 7-2, and Cornell, 8-1, in Ithaca, N.Y. on Nov. 17 after winning their season-opener on Nov. 16 against Hamilton, 8-1, in Clinton, N.Y.
The two teams met last season on Dec. 10 at the Ringe Courts. Penn defeated Williams, 6-3, and leads the all-time series, 29-9.
