After years of steady declines in teen driver deaths, the fatality numbers have started to increase again, according to a new nation-wide report from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). The study, which counted up teen driver deaths in every state plus D.C. in the first six months of 2012, found that deaths of 16- and 17-year-old drivers increased from 202 to 240, a 19-percent jump from year-earlier figures.
Deaths of 16-year-old drivers rose most sharply, from 86 to 107, a 24-percent change. Counting teen passengers with drivers of any age, car crashes remain the number-one cause of injury and death among American teens aged 15 through 20.
The hike in teen driver deaths parallels findings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over the past year indicating that traffic deaths overall, not just teens, also started climbing in 2012 after many years of improvement. Overall fatalities rose a little over eight percent in the first half of 2012, according to preliminary figures.
It's too early to tell just what factors are responsible for this rise. Experts from GHSA and from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety speculate that the modest uptick in deaths, and it is modest by historical standards, may have something to do with the improving economy, which brings more driving and thus more exposure to risk.
One of the most successful programs for curbing teen traffic deaths has been the Graduated Driver Licensing laws adopted by nearly all states. But the benefits from those laws may be leveling off, according to Dr. Allan Williams, who authored the GHSA study. However, he notes, "We're still at a much better place than we were 10 or even five years ago."
What does work? Consumer Reports has some tips for teen drivers and their parents, designed to help teens become safer drivers.

Herman Li
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Herman Li (Chinese: 李康敏, Hanyu Pinyin: Lǐ Kāng Mǐn; born on October 3, 1976 in Hong Kong) is a British Chinese musician, best known as a guitarist for the power metal band DragonRush.
edit Early Years
As a young lad, Herman grew up in a small hole near an office building in China. He was raised by a former guitarist for Green Day, Christina Aguilera, and Bill Cosby (Also known as "The Main Nigga"). Bill and Christina told young Herman that if he kept up his grades in the school for the deaf, (Herman Li turned deaf at the age of 7 from Bill Cosby screaming in his ear too much, so I guess his parents really didn't, tell him that, I guess they had to do it otherwise, like sign language or such), that they would buy Herman Li his first Ukulele and give him lessons from one of they best ukulele players they knew, B.B. King. Of course because of his retardation (Herman Li is also retarded) he did not bring up his grades in his school, and instead his parents bought him a ukulele and beat him with it every day until he was 23. When he was 24, he started a band with Bassist Billie Joe and Drummer Alex Lifeson.
edit The Start Of DragonRush
DragonRush played their first gig at a bar in Nashville, Tennessee, where drunks and hippies chased Herman Li and his bandmates out onto the streets, beating them with their instruments. Herman Li could not tell how badly he had been playing because he is deaf. DragonRush released their first album in 1997 entitled, "Inhuman Rush Dragon Rampage Li". This album sold a snaring total of 7 records in the past 10 years. DragonRush made a big break in the year 2007, appearing in the hit video game "Guitar Hero 9-DragonRush", containing DragonRush's music and their favorite bands. The game contained songs by Green Day, Cannibal Corpse, Walls Of Jericho, Rage Against The Machine, The Beatles, and songs from Scott Joplin's Greatest Hits Vol. II.
edit The Fall Of DragonRush
DragonRush fell in late 2007, mainly about a month after "Guitar Hero 9-DragonRush" was released. Fans realized the Herman Li (Now also known as "Herman Ree") was not as great of a ukulele player as he thought he was. DragonRush soon split after, causing Billie Joe to kill himself and Alex Lifeson to join a new band, Dragonforce, as the guitarist. Herman took up a job in a local Burger King as the "Burger King" himself. He waited outside in a king costume greeting costumers as they entered. Burger King soon fired him after scaring kids by trying to say "Hello". Kids did not like hearing words like, "Herro There". Herman Li soon went into a deep depression.
edit The Fall Of Herman Li
Herman Li realized he could not play his instrument, and also realized he did not have any other talents whatsoever. If he could not play real ukulele, he started inventing things like "Pac-Man" sounds on his ukulele, but that just made people hate him more. Herman Li committed suicide at the age of 47. He slit his wrists with Chinese throwing stars. Nobody arrived at his funeral. not even Dragonrush

When a node's date field does not include an end time, that node is displayed as a multi-day event on the calendar month view. Because it is not actually a multi-day event, it gets cut off in the calendar. See the attached screenshots for the event when it's assigned the "multi-day" class and when I manually change it to the "single-day" class.

Comment #1mErilainen CreditAttribution: mErilainen commented
Hmm, I don't see this in month view, but instead in day and week views.
I posted a patch to #1269470: All events are shown twice because I had duplicate results, I think the other item was always multiday because of the incorrect date calculations. You can try that patch if it helps.
But as I said, I experience this issue in week and day views.
Comment #3mErilainen CreditAttribution: mErilainen commented
Have you tried in Views to change the time grouping setting which both the day and the week display offer? Changing that to "hour" might change the events from multi-day to single ones.
Comment #4nemo_Anhoa CreditAttribution: nemo_Anhoa commented
Is there any other method than change settings for this one ?
I got the css class turn into multi-day also.

My temp fix was to use some jQuery to remove the 'multi-day' class from the td.
Comment #7thinkdrupal CreditAttribution: thinkdrupal commented
I have a node with an end date and I have this issue. Any event on the last day of the month will show as multiday on the first day of the next month.
Comment #8pbfleetwood CreditAttribution: pbfleetwood commented
I have the same problem on both month and week displays.
Comment #9pbfleetwood CreditAttribution: pbfleetwood commented
|» Major
It's been four months since this issue was opened. Has anyone come up with a workaround?
I've tried to get around it by making the single day and multi-day events look the same via css, but this is rather complicated and one doesn't want to mess up the display of true multi-day events.
I'm bumping the priority.
Comment #10Morn CreditAttribution: Morn commented
Setting Mutlti-day style (in the Month Options) as
"Display multi-day item as a single column"
is an easy workaround.
Comment #11pbfleetwood CreditAttribution: pbfleetwood commented
Thank you, @Morn. What you suggest in #10 helps somewhat, in that the text is not truncated, but it makes the true multi-day events appear awkward: they cannot be highlighted by styling, and since they repeat each day, they could become staggered, which would look very sloppy. What is needed is a means of preventing the assignment of the multi-day class to items that are not multi-day.
Comment #12bennettee CreditAttribution: bennettee commented
I experienced this same issue and tracked it to the following line of code.
In calendar_build_week_day function in the calendar_plugin_style.inc file:
$all_day = $item->calendar_start_date == $item->calendar_end_date;
$all_day = $item->calendar_all_day;
I don't know if this causes any side-effects, but it seems to fix the problem for me. I hope this helps...I would have submitted a patch for review, but I'm not very familiar with git.
(I originally reported this potential fix in #1264596: Week view shows event in All Day instead of from hour - till hour which I believe was a separate but similar issue.)
Comment #13pbfleetwood CreditAttribution: pbfleetwood commented
Thank you, @bennettee. I'm not using the Week display, but I'll try to see if I can track down similar code that could be affecting the Month display.
Comment #14bennettee CreditAttribution: bennettee commented
@pbfleetwood: IIRC, changing that line fixes all of the displays. It definitely fixes the Month display, though, as that is the only display I am using. Good luck!
Comment #15pbfleetwood CreditAttribution: pbfleetwood commented
Thanks, @bennettee, the code change in #12 works like a charm. I wish that I new a way to override this code without having to directly edit the file in the module; I finally read how to do that with theme_* functions, but that doesn't apply here. Anyway, your fix seems to work very well.
Comment #17carole CreditAttribution: carole commented
I've made the change to no effect in any view; the td class is still multi-day. Using latest dev releases of Date, Calendar; cleared cache; here's the code for a double-check; anyone see the error?
foreach ($hour as $key => $item) {
// CS Carole replaced this original line with the next one line per http://drupal.org/node/1264520
// $all_day = $item->calendar_start_date == $item->calendar_end_date;
$all_day = $item->calendar_all_day;
Comment #18SomethingOn CreditAttribution: SomethingOn commented
Thanks Morn your solution worked for me :D

Confirmed the problem and the fix. Thanks!
Comment #20carole CreditAttribution: carole commented
I applied the patch and still have the issue in Week & Month views. Cleared cache.
Comment #21KarenS CreditAttribution: KarenS commented
This already fixed in dev, there is no patch to apply. You need to use the latest dev of Date and Calendar.
Comment #23drzraf CreditAttribution: drzraf commented
|Closed (fixed)
|» Active
I can reproduce using 7.x-3.x-dev
Seems like there are 2 issues :
An "all day" event is considered as a multi-day.
The multi-day class breaks display (what was the subject of this issue but wasn't fixed).
Comment #24drzraf CreditAttribution: drzraf commented
calendar_plugin_style.inc, the following needs explanation (and fixes too):
if ($wday == 0 || $start_ydate == $cur_ydate || ($this->date_info->granularity == 'month' && $day_no == 1) || ($all_day && !$is_multi_day))
I've an "all day" event which is not a multi-day, thus :
$all_day = TRUE; $is_multi_day = FALSE
but the above conditional passes, thus
$multiday_buckets is filled
$multiday_buckets[$wday][$index]['filled'] in
thus the display bug.
But even changing this strange condition,
$start_ydate == $cur_ydate is TRUE too.
Fixing the CSS would probably be needed too, but there's definitely a bug here which needs to get fixed.
Comment #25andyhu CreditAttribution: andyhu commented
Tested with #16 in newest 7.x-3.x-dev, the issue still occurs with a view built with default template which doesn't have an end date. I've made a patch to fix it. The patch also fixes two issues in other tickets which cause all the events in the 7th day of a week not showing at all (depending on whether Monday or Sunday is set as the first day of a week, this could be Saturday or Sunday), as well as an issue that only the first event is shown for every day if the events are not grouped in the week view. Please check the other two tickets here:
Comment #26andyhu CreditAttribution: andyhu commented
sorry, please try the latest one
Comment #27drzraf CreditAttribution: drzraf commented
does not solve the bug in my above case
[ please note that your patch is not git-formatted ]
Comment #28agerson CreditAttribution: agerson commented
This is still a problem. I worked around it with "Display multi-day item as a multiple column row"
Comment #29jaysonjaynes CreditAttribution: jaysonjaynes commented
I'm seeing this as well. Events marked as "All day" are treated like Multi-day events, and are adding an empty
Comment #30tomdisher CreditAttribution: tomdisher commented
Bumping this again - seems like we're still having this issue. My "all day" events are getting the "multi-day" class.
Comment #31oleg chemerys CreditAttribution: oleg chemerys commented
It was still an issue for me, so I wrote a small patch. Hope it will help.
Comment #32oleg chemerys CreditAttribution: oleg chemerys commented
Found a small issue in my patch. When there was no events on week view, you got an error. Fixed in new patch.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/10/2013 (1392 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THEY say there are no sure things in show business, but this feels a lot like it was simply meant to be.
Leigh Truant auditioned for, and landed, her first big TV-acting gig earlier this year, but the 18-year-old Winnipegger's part in the family-friendly Disney XD movie Bunks is a role for which she's been preparing pretty much her whole life.
"It's fair to say that this is all I've ever wanted to do," Truant said this week from Toronto, where she's enrolled in Ryerson University's performance acting program. "It's definitely because of my brothers -- when I was little, they were always filming with the video camera, making movies with their friends. I would always ask them, 'Hey, can I be part of your movie?' and they would always reply, 'No, you're our little sister; you're not cool.'
"So when they weren't looking, I picked up the video camera and tried to figure out how to work it. My dad showed me how to press record and standby, and I started making my own movies with my friends.
"We kept making them, and we got better and better at it. By Grade 8 or 9, I was really into it as a hobby, and I enrolled in every theatre production and every film project at school. Pretty soon, my parents began to realize that this was more than just a hobby to me."
Truant, a product of Linden Woods who began her formal film/theatre training while attending Shaftesbury High School, said her parents' support allowed her to attend acting classes in Vancouver and, a couple of summers ago, to take part in a month-long workshop at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles.
"That was very intense; it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life," Truant recalled. "We basically got up at 6 a.m. every morning and went to school near the Universal Studios lot. We did audition classes, scene-study classes, monologue classes -- I had never studied those things in so much depth before. And on the weekends, we would go to the Universal Studios backlot and shoot short films that we'd been planning throughout the week. That was super-fun.
"I learned a lot; it was definitely life-changing. I gained a lot of experience in a short time."
Back home in Winnipeg, Truant received a call from local casting director Jim Heber, who recommended she audition for Bunks, which was scheduled to be shot here and in Kenora last summer. The light-hearted comedy-horror adventure, which airs Sunday on Disney XD (check listings for time), focuses on a pair of mischievous brothers (played by Dylan Schmid and Aidan Shipley) whose rule-breaking antics unleash a zombie-frenzied attack on an idyllic summer camp.
Soon after her audition, Truant got a callback and learned she'd landed the role of Alice, the boy-crazy half of a pair of inseparable BFF camp counsellors who eventually fall victim to the zombie invasion. Landing her first TV-movie role in a project filmed in her hometown made the experience extra special, she said.
"The first week, we were shuttled off to Kenora, where we shot on an island. It was really fun. I think it really set in that shooting-a-movie feeling for me because we were away from home and on location, living in a hotel and taking a boat to work every morning," she said.
"And then being in Winnipeg for the other three weeks was nice because I got to go home and unwind, but then I'd still have that professional environment to go to the next day."
Truant said her studies at Ryerson are focused mostly on theatrical performance, but her sights remain set on landing more TV and movie-acting work.
"Up until this point, all of my training has been for film," she said. "The reason I chose to do a theatre-study program isn't necessarily because I want to focus on theatre; I want to know what it's like to do theatre, and I want to know what it's like to do film. As an actor, I just want to be as well rounded as possible."

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed his eagerness Monday to push for a law stipulating how to achieve fiscal reconstruction, amid concern over Japan's massive bond sales to fund stimulus steps centering on large-scale public works projects.
"We'll consider whether to establish legislation" that would specify a road map and method to restore the country's fiscal health, Abe told the House of Representatives plenary session.
Japan's fiscal situation is already the worst among major developed economies.
It is the first time Abe has mentioned the possibility of introducing legislation toward fiscal rehabilitation since he assumed office in December.
"We have to accelerate efforts to reform revenues and expenses in order to ensure sustainable fiscal reconstruction for an extended period," Abe said.
"We'll map out a concrete path to simultaneously attain Japan's economic revitalization" and fiscal rehabilitation at the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy, the government's key economic panel, he added.
Abe's government has pledged internationally to halve the ratio of the primary balance deficit to the nation's gross domestic product by fiscal 2015 from the level in fiscal 2010. The deficit in the primary balance means the country cannot finance government spending without issuing new bonds.
But the latest estimate released by the Cabinet Office showed Japan could log a deficit of ¥33.9 trillion, or 6.9 percent of nominal GDP, in fiscal 2013 starting in April due to additional debt issuances for fiscal 2012, worse than the ¥25.4 trillion, or 5.2 percent, calculated last August, suggesting the goal is almost infeasible.
The Diet last month enacted a ¥13.1 trillion supplementary budget, the second-largest of its kind, to fund an economic stimulus package, bringing the country's budgetary spending for fiscal 2012 to around ¥103 trillion, despite ballooning debt.
To cover the shortfall in revenue needed to pay for the extra budget, Abe's government decided to sell an additional ¥7.8 trillion in bonds, bringing the total amount of debt for the fiscal year through March to ¥52 trillion, the Finance Ministry said.
Abe's administration has pledged to hammer out concrete measures to realize fiscal reconstruction in August or September.

ROVERS' Under 21 side secured a league double over Reading after a 2-0 victory at Leigh Sports Village.
Gary Bowyer's side were in command for long periods of the game but had to wait until after the interval to turn their pressure into goals.
Raheem Hanley opened the scoring after a quick free-kick seven minutes after the re-start before he turned provider for Osayamen Osawe to secure the points.
Rovers made a bright and Osawe could have opened the scoring inside five minutes but he headed wide. Will Beesley then fired over before Osawe really should have scored just before the half hour.
After the break it was Rovers who struck first.
John O'Sullivan's ball set Micah Evans free and he appeared to be felled inside the area by last man Pierce Sweeney. The referee though awarded Rovers a free-kick and Sweeney a yellow card. But it mattered little as Rovers took the free-kick quickly and Hanley curled home.
Rovers continued to boss the game and Osawe secured the points late on.
ROVERS: Sandomierski, Wylie, Beesley, Paulo Jorge (Hands 85), M Anderson, Daly, O'Sullivan, Payne, Evans, R Hanley (Laverty 89), Osawe (Maclaren 87). Subs not used: Urwin, Haley.

Justin Bieber's camp has promised to "vigorously pursue all available legal remedies" to defend the young singer against claims he is the father of a baby boy born in July.
In court documents filed by Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old Californian woman says she was at a Bieber concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last year when she was allegedly approached by the singer backstage. After a bit of talking and a bit of kissing, Yeater alleges, she and Bieber did what one does to make a baby, baby, baby.
"At that time I asked him to put on a condom for protection but he insisted that he did not want to. In his own words, he said that because it was his first time he wanted to feel everything," Yeater states in the court documents, obtained by Star magazine. "When I later realized I was pregnant with Justin Bieber's baby I tried to contact him through his representatives but no one ever called me back."
The alleged post-concert coitus occurred on Oct. 25, 2010. On July 6, Yeater gave birth to a son.
"Based upon this timing, as well as the fact that there were no other possible men that I had sex with that could be the father of my baby, I believe that Justin Bieber is the father of the baby," the court documents state.
Yeater wants Bieber to undergo a paternity test. "I also request that he provide adequate child support for the baby," she says in the court documents.
With news of the allegations sending the Internet into full-on OMG mode, Bieber's representatives released a statement: "It's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."
A court hearing has been set for December, when Bieber would no doubt prefer to be promoting his first Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe.
Yeater, who swore to the encounter under penalty of perjury, may find herself in trouble. At the time of their alleged encounter, she was 19 and Bieber was 16. The age of consent in California is 18.
As for Bieber himself, he has so far chosen to ignore the whole sordid mess.
"I'm going to ignore the rumors ... and focus on what is real. an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!" Bieber Tweeted on Wednesday.
Bieber's fans, however, have so far been happy to be vocal on the matter, vigorously pushing Twitter topics like #WEBELIEVEJUSTIN and #ShutUpMariahYeater on Wednesday.Report Typo/Error

Episode Title: "A Fistful of Paintballs"
Writer: Andrew Guest
Director: Joe Russo
The tone of this episode was set immediately by the opening sequence in which Fat Neil (Charley Koontz) is saved from a trio of paintgun wielding jerks by a suddenly kickass, Annie (Alison Brie) decked out in a sexy western style outfit. And when Neil tries to get off a shot at Annie, she painfully reminds him that "this is paintball!"
From there on, the episode was an almost pitch perfect parody of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, particularly "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." "Community" has always been a farcical comedy. And it goes way over the top here as the campus quickly descends into a paintball war after an Ice Cream company's mascot announces a $100,000 prize for the last person standing.
Sure, it's crazy. But It's also one of the funnier episodes of the year. It even manages to move the study group's issues with Pierce (Chevy Chase) even more out into the open. As the episode plays out, we see that Pierce has used his influence to create a saloon-like sanctuary in the cafeteria modestly dubbed "Fort Hawthorne." And despite putting wanted posters out for Jeff (Joel McHale) that said "Wanted: Gay or Alive;" Pierce claims that he wants to make amends for his misdeeds and offers to split the prize money with his friends.
Of course this is Pierce, so he inevitably betrays Jeff by loading up his weapon with blanks. The others have come to expect this, but not Annie. She's always defended Pierce (and in a flashback, we learn that she was the lone holdout on a vote to kick him out of the group.). Pierce's latest betrayal finally breaks his quasi-father/daughter relationship with Annie as she challenges him to a duel after chasing him around with an automatic paintball gun. It's a great sequence that manages to advance the characters and still be really hilarious.
Which brings us to this week's special guest star, Josh Holloway from "Lost" as the mysterious "Black Rider," a paintball contestant whom Abed (Danny Pudi) describes as "network-TV good looking." Holloway doesn't actually get a lot to do in the episode other than menace the characters with his dazzling paintball skills and make Jeff wildly insecure about his looks. But the Black Rider does have some fun chemistry with Annie, even as he tries to eliminate her. And the Black Rider's exit only comes about because he mistakenly believes that Pierce is having a heart attack despite Abed's warning that Pierce used the same trick last week to get out of giving him a piece of gum.
On a side note, it's also very amusing how overt the Dean's (Jim Rash) crush on Jeff has become. Not that the Dean ever hid it well, it just seems like he's more out in the open about it now. Another hilarious moment came from Vicki (Danielle Kaplowitz), whom Pierce turned into a salon dancer for twinkies. Even when the salon was gone, Vicki kept going because she said that she couldn't leave the life behind. That's classic.
There's also something special about a show that unapologetically introduces an Ice Cream Cone mascot as the primary villain. I suspect it's someone we already know in that costume (personally, I think it's Professor Michelle Slater from the first season). Whoever it is, she (or he) wants to destroy Greendale and even unleashes paintball stormtroopers to prevent any students form taking the prize money.
Ridiculous as hell? Yes.
But it's still really hilarious and that's all I need from a comedy.

I am a single woman (60, but in good shape/health) and will be arriving in Guatemala City before going to see my daughter in Queztaltenango. Would you please give me advice on a safe place to stay in both cities.
As well, I plan to take a bus from Guatemala City to Xela unless it is considered too risky - in which case, please advise on an alternate source of transportation (shuttle? who conducts them?) Is there a central bus station in Guatemala City and how far is it from the airport?
Are there safe areas to go out and about in Guatemala City itself?
Any suggestions for tours/sites to see in Quetzaltenango? I will be there about 4-5 days

I can't help much with Quetzaltenango (usually referred to as Xela) because it's been years since I've been there - I'm not much of a city person and it's the 2nd largest city in Guatemala. I haven't spent much time in Guatemala City in recent years, either. If you planning to spend some time there exploring, you'd probably want to stay in Zone 1 or 2. If you're planning to just shuttle from the airport and take a bus the next day, you could stay near the airport; a good hotel could set you up with a driver to take you around to the main historic sites and museums if you want.
Here's a link to my favorite hotel in Guatemala City, just minutes from the airport, breakfast and airport shuttles included.
Check out the reviews on Trip Advisor where you can also look up hotels with good reputations in other parts of the city:
Re: buses, you could taxi to the bus station and take a pullman from there or hire a shuttle to pick you up. Here are 2 agencies I've used really successfully for transportation in Guatemala:
My photos with blog and travelogue links on the main page of each collection are below in case you're interested - all my recommendations are embedded there. Happy trails!

Just got back from Guatemala. Most of my time was in Panajachel but some in Guatemala City and a night in Xela. Here are my suggestions.
In Guatemala City I highly recommend Hotel Spring (http://www.hotelspring.com). Reasonable rates (they have shared bath, private bath and "new" private bath choices) and in a very convenient location. Two blocks walk to 6th Ave (the pedestrian mall) and lots of other stuff.
There are no safe buses that run to the airport. Expect to pay about Q100 for a cab from the airport to Zona 1/Hotel Sprint.
The buses are fine and a lot more interesting than a "Gringo shuttle". It is Q30 (less than $4) from Guate to Panajachel. I have been on the Xela to Guate bus (returning to Pana) but not paid the full fare but would guess it is about Q40.
As for Xela, a friend runs the Xelapages web site. Here are his suggestions to me:
Here is a list of hotels in Xela that you might want to consider when you bring your friends this month. Most of these are in Zona 1 the center of Xela.
There are also a dozen or so guest houses around town.
http://7orejas.com - nice place about 2 blocks from my Internet shop.
If you need to get around in Guatemala City, see http://a42.com/site/pg/s/1/3/63/73/346/406 for information on Transmetro. Cheap and safe.
Six months ago Guatemala was not really on my list of "good places". I have been very impressed with it. While I don't really like cities, Guatemala City is clean, organized and improving every day. Panajachel/Lake Atitlan is amazing. Have a good trip.
Report Abuse
In Guatemala city we are staying at the Barcelo, formally the Marriot which is in Zona 9. Close to museums, emabassy and the airport. Look at tripadvisor.com for places you are traveling to. There should be some lovely ones in the areas you are going to visit. Also check into www.transportguatemala.com for transport options. A shuttle bus may be easier for you than the local bus which can be a great experiance but also and adventure which may not be your objective at this point. Good luck.

My name is Bora Turgut, and I am a 4th year at RIT majoring in field of Management Information Systems. During my time at RIT, I've had the privilege to attend classes that were taught by extremely knowledge professors with significant field experience; a critical component to truly understanding a subject. I recently had the opportunity to go on a 6 month co-operative assignment with Johnson and Johnson. I was part of the Business Analytical team, which supports the supply chain organization out of the consumer location in Skillman, NJ. A majority of my role consisted of supporting supply, demand, and plant planning operations within Johnson and Johnson. At the end of my term I was given the offer to extend my co-op status for another month, in which I happily accepted. I worked remotely from home helping develop a new report template for Neutrogena, which is based out of Los Angeles. This report gave the ability for Neutrogena to measure their production planning capabilities for each individual material being produced at their plant in weekly buckets. Overall, I am very grateful for having this opportunity with Johnson and Johnson. If it wasn't for RIT, this would have not been possible. My life has now changed for the better due to the exposure I received from the real world.
Hello my name is Li Huang, and I am 4th year MIS major at the Saunders College of Business. Currently I am doing on co-op in the Purchasing Department here at Toyota, specifically in the Project Management group. One of the responsibilities we as a group have is to manage annual activities. There are three main activities our group manages each year that provide the guidelines for our buying group and for the reports for Toyota headquarters in Japan. Usually the activities can take over half a year to complete. My job is to help a specialist in the group who currently leads these activities, and to also assist the group assistant manager. Along with my main projects I have two weeks of purchasing department training in addition to other Toyota required training.
I am the project manager of GE Transportation's server virtualization. I coordinate the technical teams, often times internationally, who transition physical servers located at the GE Transportation plant to virtual servers that are stored using cloud software. I also manage and monitor the existing virtual servers, ensuring that they are running at optimal efficiency. This project has immense financial implications and will save the company a reputable amount of time and money. The MIS program at RIT has developed both my technical abilities and business knowledge to the point where I am able to effectively enter this multinational company and immediately make a notable impact. I am proudly a Management Information Systems major and I will be graduating in 2014.

Pronunciation: Glen- roff-iss
Around 1940's as a post-world war new town. Primarily planned to house miners from the Rothes Colliery. The Mine never took off however Glenrothes became an industrial town and still remains so. The first town to build Glenrothes was Cadham Village which is close to where I was brought up.
Is based in the heart of Fife in east Scotland and is around 1 hour's car journey away from both Edinburgh and Dundee.
1. Glenrothes is the 3rd largest settlement in Fife
2. The name comes from the Earl who owned most of the land and 'glen' comes from the Scottish word for valley.
3. Glenrothes is the Fife Administrative capital and houses both Fife Council and Fife Constabulary.
Population: 38,679 as of 2001.
4. Big employers are Bosch Rexroth, Amazon, Adam Smith College, Fife Council, Fife Constabulary and Fife Fire Service, Tullis Russell and retails shops within the Kingdom Centre.
5. The Kingdom Centre is Fife's largest shopping centre however it has severely went downhill over the last five years with most of the shops closing due to the economic climate.
7. Celebrities to come out of Glenrothes are Dougray Scott who is an actor. Having appeared in Mission Impossible 2, Desperate Housewives, My week with Marilyn and Hitman to name a few.
***How the town looks***
The town has won awards for 'Beautiful Scotland 'and 'Britain in Bloom' and I do have to agree looks really pretty in the spring and summer. These 'blooms' can also frustrate those who live within the town. As we see things that could be improved and constantly hear about people being turned down for things that are very much needed it can be frustrating to see so much of the government budget doing into the horticulture just so they can add more awards to their C.V.
***New for 2012***
The Town regeneration has started and this will see some of the larger eye sore buildings come down and eventually be replaced with a new Tesco's and new retails stores (if any actually want to come to the town) the Fife Institute is also undergoing a major lift and should give the teenagers, young children and families more options for things to do.
Glenrothes also has two golf courses, a theatre, cinemas, libraries, numerous bingo's, pubs and a small local club called Styx.
**How I came to live in Glenrothes**
I was in fact born here however my parents were from the Glasgow area of Scotland. Glenrothes was not supposed to be a Glasgow overspill town unlike Cumbernauld however; it ended up taking on this role in the 1950's. My parents were one of those Glasgow tenants needing a move due to overpopulation in their Glasgow house and were offered a new house in the 'New town' of Glenrothes. They obviously jumped at the chance to do so and we have stayed here ever since.
**My thoughts and feelings about the town**
When I was younger, like most teenagers I couldn't wait to get out of the town and into the big wide world. Having done so at 15-16 years old I couldn't wait to return a few years later. I found that going away and coming back allowed me time to re-evaluate life in Glenrothes. Although Glenrothes is quiet, boring and bland it is also safe, secure and small enough that you know where everything is, sort of like an organised underwear drawer. Now as I've become a parent I know I won't move away from Glenrothes not even if I won the lottery. I know my children's friends parents so have a fair idea if they are hanging out with a 'bad bunch'. I know how their education works; I know where they will be out playing and as they get older and their punctuality slips, where they will possibly be. My mum stays down the road, my cousins no more than five minutes away, and although I don't see them every day or even weekly I know they are there and this in itself is priceless.
As a parent it's nice to tell my children that mummy went to that school or to teach them games I used to play, to go to the Fife Institute and play football on the astro turf like daddy did or to take them to football practice and for them to be taught by the same people that taught my husband. Now with society changing and more people living further away from their families I feel that I have a gift that not many others have.
Most places are easy to commute to either through car, bus or train and jobs can be found quite readily either locally or in the capital Edinburgh. The education is fantastic and the houses are quite spacious.
The Council make repairs without having to be asked and have been working their way around the town putting in new windows doors, fitted kitchens (the same as bought house type kitchens, think brushed modern steel handles, faux marble tops and wood grain cupboards with a slight bevel) Last year it was new recycling bins, light-bulbs and insulations so we don't fair to badly I feel.
The downfalls of Glenrothes are that it has gone hugely downhill over the last five years. There is not much for children and teenagers to do and a huge amount of retail shops have closed or re-allocated due to the economy. Crime has got a bit worse with their being a few drug related deaths and a couple of murders, this is something that we haven't seen in Glenrothes and is a worry especially since i hope it isn't going to get worse as my sons get older.
All in all Glenrothes is a great town to live in and bring up children; it's a good basis for stability although if you were not born here I wouldn't advise moving here as there is nothing to do.

Cost Considerations in the Management of Cancer in the Older Patient
Cost Considerations in the Management of Cancer in the Older Patient
Patients aged 65 years and older represent 12% of the US population yet account for approximately 56% of cancer cases and 69% of all cancer mortalities. The overall cost of cancer in 2005 was $209.9 billion—$74 billion for direct medical costs and $118.4 billion for indirect mortality costs. This paper considers the direct, indirect, and out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by cancer patients 'â• 50 years of age. Several major empirical studies on supportive care for older patients and cancer-related costs were reviewed. Insurance coverage, hematologic malignancies, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and cancers of the breast, prostate, colorectum, and lung were evaluated. Major sources of direct medical expenditures covered by third-party insurers for patients aged 65 years and older include extended length of hospital stay, home health assistance following hospital discharge, adjuvant prescription medications, lower-risk treatment (for prostate cancer), and advent of new pharmaceuticals (for colorectal cancer). The mean total direct medical cost for breast cancer is $35,164, and the cumulative cost for prostate cancer is $42,570. Emerging targeted cancer drug costs range from $20,000 to $50,000 annually per patient. Additional clinical trials and cost-effective treatments are needed for older patients to ameliorate the disproportionate economic burden among older individuals with cancer. Additional research about cancer costs may also lead to reforms in cancer care reimbursement, and therefore provide access to affordable health care for older patients.
The overall cost of cancer in 2005 was $209.9 billion: $74 billion for direct medical costs (prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and palliation) and $118.4 billion for indirect mortality costs.[1-3] (Indirect mortality cost refers to the cost of lost productivity due to premature death, with "premature" indicating the difference in life expectancies at given ages of individuals with and without the disease.) Medicare or private health insurance programs cover approximately one-third of cancer-related costs. Non-reimbursed or "out-of-pocket" costs constitute the remaining two-thirds.
The most costly cancers for men are prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, with the corollary in women being breast, colorectal, and lung cancers.[4] Seniors aged 65 years and over represent 12% of the population in the United States, but account for approximately 56% of cancer cases. This disparity is due, in part, to the increased prevalence of cancer as people age and the high rate of comorbid medical illnesses in older individuals. Care for older individuals may require complex protocols that are likely to be costly, and choice of therapy may also be restricted relative to toxicity of the agent and expected years of life remaining.[5,6] Insurance helps, but patients are bearing a growing portion of these expenditures and may face financial hardships as a result of nonreimbursed cancer costs.[7]
This paper provides an overview of several prominent articles and empirical studies on supportive care and cancer-related costs faced by older cancer patients. It focuses primarily on individuals 65 years of age and over (and where cost information was availble, also considers those aged 50 to 64) and reviews several types of cancer. We consider direct, indirect and out-of-pocket expenditures in this discussion.
Americans 65 years of age and older currently account for more than 13% of the US population. Based on current projections by the US Bureau of Census, by 2030, one in five Americans will be over 65 years of age, reflecting 20.1% of the total population (70.2 million persons).[8] The oldest old-Americans age 85 and older—represent the fastest-growing segment of the US population, with more than 50,000 Americans having reached 100 years of age or more. Attendant to this unprecedented aging explosion is the increased incidence of cancer. The cancer burden of the elderly is high in the United States and has increased over time, with 60% of all malignant tumors occurring among persons aged 65 years and older.
Access to Affordable Cancer Care
A recent study of various cancer types found that fewer than 4% of patients were uninsured at the time they were considered for initial treatment, 48% had private insurance or HMO coverage, 16.8% had Medicare but no supplemental insurance, and 7.5% of patients had Medicaid insurance.[9] Most but not all individuals with health insurance have at least some level of coverage for pharmaceuticals. Because of coverage gaps, deductible requirements, and copayments, out-of-pocket expenditures may be large for cancer patients.[10] Recent technologic developments have also affected costs. These include the advent of targeted drugs and other high-tech therapy (Table 1).[4,11-14] Furthermore, while Medicare Part D might reduce the costs faced by some Medicare beneficiaries, it does not necessarily do so for cancer patients who require costly chemotherapy.
Physiologic Changes of Aging
Aging patients present with comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis.[15] Certain physiologic changes of aging (decreased renal function, impaired hepatic Blood flow, and decreased cardiac reserve, among others) along with pathologic changes combine to effectuate a decrease in the functional status of the elderly cancer patient and to render cancer care in the elderly more expensive over time. Furthermore, elderly patients with cancer who are contemplating surgical treatment and/or chemotherapy will often require more preoperative studies and laboratory tests in an effort to minimize their risks from potentially toxic treatment, thus increasing costs of cancer care.
Many cancer drugs are metabolized by the liver and can fall prey to specific physiologic changes that are attendant to aging. Liver Blood flow decreases by 0.3% to 1.5 % per year; liver size also decreases, and liver function sees a decrement of 25% to 30%. Decreases in hepatic Blood flow lead to increases in serum drug levels and drug half-lives for drugs in phase I hepatic metabolism. This can result in decreased clearance and increased toxicity with the administration of commonly used chemotherapy drugs. Despite the impact of physiologic changes in the elderly that might negatively impact cancer treatment, improvements in supportive care over the last 10 to 20 years have enabled physicians to offer more aggressive, and often costly, treatments to older patients. Particularly, improvements in antiemetic therapy and mucositis prevention have facilitated the administration of cytotoxic therapies to older patients. Older patients are also at higher risk for bone marrow suppression during chemotherapy, and the aggressive use of granulocyte and erythrocyte growth factors in the course of chemotherapy has lessened the risk of severe neutropenia or anemia in the older patient during therapy.[15,16] New mucositis prevention protocols, intensive care unit monitoring, and the introduction of lower-intensity chemotherapy preparation regimens have made allogeneic transplant a possibility in some patients as old as 80 years.[17]

My Top 10 List
Below are my picks for this week's 10 must-reads.What are the 10 most important themes shaping up for 2014? Jim Cramer covers it all, including Europe, natural gas, mergers, China, aerospace, banks, telecom and more. Most bull markets climb a wall of worry. This one has climbed a wall of complacency. Doug Kass has a fascinating take on our "hakuna matata" market and on risk-reward going forward. Helene Meisler uses her invaluable experience as a former Shanghai resident to debunk a few myths about China then pulls up the chart to solidify her point. Chris Versace has a beef with McDonald's (MCD). Chris questions the company's strategy and leadership in this piece, scrutinizing everything from menu choices to the price of cattle. Eric Jackson breaks down BlackBerry (BBRY). When Jackson investigates different aspects of the company's business, his sum-of-parts analysis reveals the stock's value to be greater than its current price. The volatility of the past week has many investors asking if stocks are in a bubble. Gary Dvorchak analyzes current valuations vs. historic norms to find the answer. Retail rock star Brian Sozzi has a lot on his mind. Read Brian's take on earnings season thus far and on what lies ahead for some of the biggest names in retail. Toni Turner offers an interesting strategy that involves trading a stock as its earnings report approaches. Here she describes how to apply that strategy to Domino's Pizza (DPZ). Casey Hoerth takes a detailed look at domestic shale oil producers. After their recent pullback, is it time to get into some of the lesser-known names in this sector? Are we wired to fail as traders? Can we unlearn our ingrained tendencies? Read Jared Dillian's fascinating take on behavioral finance and loss asymmetry.

3 Generations enjoy the Baltic
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
Our family met at the Copenhagen Airport and used the free shuttle to Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers which we used for our first night stay. (It was expensive but the transportation made it our choice.) Our family room was actually two adjoining rooms. We walked to the metro, after some effort (had to cash bills down to coins) got 10 klippekart and went downtown for the evening. We got down just before 5 PM, kept ourselves walking, More had some pizza (about 50 dollars for four of us) and headed back for the night.
NOTE on credit cards – Denmark was the only country we struggled with using credit cards (which caused some early panic). Even though we don't have a PIN for our Visa, it often asked for a PIN. We had $200 in Danish Kroner and that was gone by the time we paid for the cab ride to the port. In every other country, if we said we needed to sign with the card, there was a button to push that overrode the need for a PIN. We did successfully use our Discover which had a PIN. None of our cards are CHIP cards; they are all magnetic stripe cards.
The six of us shared a cab to the port which was easy (except for trying to pay). We got on the ship within 30 minutes. We were pleased with our inside cabins which had plenty of storage space.
SPA: My oldest convinced me to do the spa tour for the potential of winning free spa services . . . and HE won. As a family we splurged getting a couple's pass to the thermal suite. I traded my son for his Salon Pick 3 and he also got a thermal suite pass. The first few days the thermal suite was busy when we would use it but the usage dropped as the cruise continued. I learned to use the changing room to shower (little bigger than our inside cabin shower). All of us LOVED the heated ceramic chaise lounges. I used the Salon Pick 3 on our Helsinki day, in the evening and was pleased with the pampering. I had never tried this so it was definitely a treat.
DINING: We were pleased with the food and service for the most part. After initial frustration trying to get a reservation on Day 2 for the main dining room, I finally figured out the situation. I wish HAL would simply print the guidelines that they use . . . only 40% of the tables can be reserved in the Open Seating area. They don't give out reservations for larger groups from 7-7:30ish (something like that). We found that if we simply headed for the Dining room between 6 and 6:15, the six of us were immediately seated. We were moved around the dining room, which didn't bother us in the least. We also used the dining room for breakfast about half the time (the Lido was extremely crowded for breakfast since it was a sold out cruise) and did one lunch there. We ate in the Tamarind twice (Night One and the Kiel night). Obviously we enjoyed it (we're a sushi family) and even my father-in-law (non-sushi) found things he really liked. On a whim, we got reservations at the Pinnacle Grill on our last night and had a wonderful meal. It truly surpassed my expectations because so many gave it lukewarm reviews. We all chose two appetizers so needless to say we were extremely full at the end of the meal. The crème brulee is a delight . . . three flavors make up the dessert.
ENTERTAINMENT: I attended 3 of the singer/dancer programs which were typical of cruise entertainment. They were ok. We found the magician was fun to watch. We LOVED the comedienne, Jonathan Clark . . . that was the only night we wished the in-laws had joined us because he was that enjoyable. We also were enjoying the BB King group so we went to their mainstage performance and listened to them each night they performed. Our youngest is a bass player, so he appreciated this group.
PORTS: These were excellent. We only did a paid tour in St. Petersburg and used TJ Tours -- "All St. Petersburg Highlights". (In-laws opted for the Standard tour). This was EXCELLENT. We were fortunate to end up in a small group, the four of us and another couple with their toddler. Our guide, Olga kept us moving since she could easily keep us together. We were able to see each day's list of sites and return to the ship about an hour early. (You may think we didn't get our money's worth, but you are exhausted. We didn't feel that we missed anything). The best example of this was Olga kept us ahead of the "wave" in the Hermitage – we often entered rooms on our own because the crowd was behind us.
In Tallin, we walked the Old Town using the Rick Steves' guide. An ATM for euros was outside the Old City walls over by Freedom Square. We used a 24 hr. transportation card in Helsinki. It was easy to use and we enjoyed the ferry to Suoumenlinna Fortress and rode the tram in a big figure 8 (thanks Rick Steves) to see the city. In both Stockholm and Copenhagen we used the Hop On Hop Off buses/boat combos. The pick up/drop off point is right next to the ship which makes it very convenient. Plus, there is free wi-fi on the Hop On Hop Off buses, which was a plus for our family. Overall it works well. Be aware that the system can "shut down" around noon during the Changing of the Guard in Stockholm, which leads to very full buses for a period of time. We visited the VASA museum on day one about 12:30 PM and experienced almost no line. On Day two we went to the armory museum and loved it. It was different than what we had seen in St. Petersburg. Since we had visited Berlin before, we took the train from Warnemunde to Rostock. The surprise was we were given a "group ticket" so it was less than $25 for the four of us for the day. We had a quiet day in Rostock, visiting three churches and having lunch at the brewery. We used Plan B in Kiel (had planned to go to Lubeck) and took the ferry to Laboe. Easy to do, visited the U-boat and came back . . . a very quiet day. Back in Copenhagen the Hop On /Hop Off pass was valid for 48 hrs. because we got the version with the boat. We did the loop, saw the Little Mermaid, visited the Carlsberg brewery, and spent time at the National Museum. (Great and free!)
DISEMBARKATION: We were in the last groups getting off. It is very organized to get a taxi . . . one line for small groups and one for large groups. We shared a taxi, dropped off in-laws at Crowne Plaza and went onto our hotel, Copenhagen Go Hotel. The front desk worked to get us into a room asap (we arrived about 10:30, check-in is 2 PM, we had room by 11:15). Easy to get the train to downtown and they are one stop from the airport. We had an early flight so opted to use a taxi at 6 AM . . .it was $20. There was no air, which we knew but the internet worked extremely well. The Copenhagen Go is very clean but is definitely no frills. On the other hand, it cost us about $100 less than the Crowne Plaza.
SUMMARY: It was a wonderful cruise. It worked well for the entire family. Definitely a great family experience. Less

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hypothetically speaking:
Now I don't know what really happend here, but I think you would have to agree that it was probably #2.
Hope this helps.
Terms and Conditions: By your continuing in this conversation with me, or by your clicking "Accept", you are expressly agreeing to all of the following: (1) our communication is for entertainment purposes only; (2) you are not consulting me in my professional capacity as an attorney; (3) you do not seek to establish an attorney-client relationship with me, nor do I with you; (4) you will not rely on anything I say and you will obtain appropriate legal counsel via a traditional/office consultation with an attorney licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your legal issue arises (and you may not use our communication to avoid taxpayer penalties imposed by the U.S. Dept. of Treasury); (5) by communicating with me in this public forum you are irrevocably waiving any right to privacy, confidentiality and attorney-client privilege concerning the matters discussed. You further separately declare that any payment made by you is not consideration for this contract, nor offered for any services rendered by me on your behalf, but rather is made in genuine admiration and respect for my desire to help others. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you must advise me immediately.
After my interview with EDD do they interview my past employer next?
A: They could interview the employer first or last, or more than once.
Is it just up to EDD to make the decision from here out?
A: EDD will make a decision, and then the adverse party has an opportunity to request a hearing with an administrative law judge.
The fact that so much time has past, weighs heavily in your favor, because it means that she didn't contest your benefits when they were first awarded. EDD wants to see if you pulled a fast one when you first filed the claim. Your claim was valid if your employer couldn't pay you any more, because you're not expected to work for free.
You previously wrote: I said the reason I was laid off was because there was lack of work & revenue coming in to pay me.
People always want to tell their story. When they do, they almost always put their foot in it. If you deviate from your original filing reason, and start to explain a convoluted story of why you were laid off, you will be providing EDD with evidence to deny your claim.
You can offer whatever story or evidence you wish to try to defend yourself, however if it were me, I would stick to my original statement, and that's all I would offer.
It's been a year, so maybe you don't remember what happend very well at this point. Maybe your memory isn't exactly accurate. Maybe your employer's memory isn't so good either.
But, whatever you originalyl claimed -- that's in the EDD record, so if you go off course from that, and start telling your story like you remember it from yesterday, you could be risking some very big trouble.
Best of luck.

~Not Your Typical Egg~
One of my favorite activities as a child was coloring Easter eggs. I loved the egg dying kits. It was so much fun dropping the color tablet in the vinegar solution and watching it magically turn into a beautiful bowl of color. As time has gone by, the way to decorate eggs has definitely evolved.
I've gathered a few fun, creative ways to decorate your eggs for Easter this year. Check out these Easter egg ideas and hopefully you can find a new look for your basket of eggs.
I love these Silhouette Easter Eggs from Le Papier Blog. You could create a variety of images for your eggs.
These crepe paper decorated eggs from Martha Stewart are adorable!
As soon as I saw these beautiful eggs in my Country Living Magazine, I feel in love with them! The designs were transferred from silk fabric.
Are you still dunking those eggs in the typical bowl of dye? Break out of your shell and get creative with some fun Easter egg ideas!
Happy Easter!
You are always Welcome at My House!
