A construction worker was impaled on a piece of rebar after falling from scaffolding at an east-side residential construction site around 10:15 Friday morning.
The man fell about 15 feet, said Capt. Grant Cesarek, a Rural/Metro Fire spokesman. The rebar had a protective cover on it and went through his lower back, Cesarek said in a news release.
The 37-year-old man had a "medical emergency" that caused the fall, the news release said.
Before paramedics arrived at the site, near Tanque Verde and Houghton Roads, members of the construction crew lifted the man off the rebar, Cesarek said.
The man was airlifted to University Medical Center.

Human Dignity Award Breakfast History since 1986!
November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a
federal holiday to honor Dr. King. In January 1986, as our nation
officially observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day for the first time, the
Jackie Robinson Family YMCA hosted our first YMCA of San Diego County
January 17, 2000 was the first time Martin Luther King Jr. Day was officially observed in all fifty US states. In 2011, a memorial honoring Dr. King was completed and dedicated in October at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., by the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation. The official address of the monument, 1964 Independence Avenue, S.W., commemorates the year the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law.
The YMCA celebrates a long connection with Dr. King's life. During the civil rights movement, meetings were held at YMCA's.

The mainstream U.S. indie movie is an amorphous kind-of-sort-of genre that's hard to define properly. Known by many simply as "indies" – though chances are they're not independently funded at all – they are the playground of young and pretty actors, loveable older character players and up-and-coming directors. Here then, is an attempt to nail down what it is that makes a studio-funded "indie" so "indie" and how you could go about making the perfect one yourself...
Key characteristic**: **Awkwardness.
Optional characteristics**:** Mild depression; soulfulness; a love of obscure pop culture; clumsiness; moodiness; a fear of taking his hands out of his pockets; cynicism; a belief that no-one (good looking) will ever really understand him.
Perfect picks here include Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid And The Whale, Adventureland, Zombieland, From Rome With Love) or Michael Cera (Paper Heart, Juno, Youth In Revolt, Arrested Development), whose particular set of antisocial skills are the best in the mainstream indie business.
If you'd like a more conventionally handsome gawky male lead, consider Joseph Gordon-Levitt ((500) Days Of Summer), Orlando Bloom (Elizabethtown), Andrew Garfield (see Marc Webb's (500) follow-up, The Amazing Spider-Man for details) and fresh-faced up-and-comer Logan Lehman, whose turn in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower has cemented his position on the gawky male lead hotlist.
Then there's John Krasinski, whose turns in The American Office, Sam Mendes' Away We Go and more make him the perfect slightly-older-but-not-too-typically-attractive gawky male lead, as well as How I Met Your Mother's (and Liberal Arts') Josh Radnor, who also fills a similar role.
Wardrobe**:** Cardigans, ill-fitting clothes, jumpers his mother bought him, t-shirts referencing arcane pop culture, a perma-grimace in any social context.
Key characteristic: Exuberance.
Optional characteristics: Any number of loveable quirks (e.g. particularly loud hiccoughs, the inability to pronounce certain words properly, being too pretty); a willingness to bend the rules; a shared passion with the gawky male lead for their favourite band/film/breed of dog; the ability to see something in the gawky male lead he himself can't see; childlike playfulness; a love of eye make-up, outlandish hair colouring and old-fashioned bicycles.
As her character in Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown inspired The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin (My Year Of Flops, The Big Rewind) to come up with the term "Manic pixie dream girl" in the first place, consider Kirsten Dunst, if only for her excellent pretending-to-take-photographs-with-her-fingers and roadtrip mixtape-making skills.
With Hollywood being Hollywood, you're going to want to aim young with your dream girl casting here. A tip of the rather daring wide-brimmed hat, then, to Katherine Hepburn (Bringing Up Baby), Diane Keaton (Annie Hall), Meg Ryan (Joe Versus The Volcano), Ruth Gordon (Harold And Maude) and Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast At Tiffany's) and a sycophantic email to the agents of Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, Our Idiot Brother, Gigantic, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, (500) Days Of Summer) Natalie Portman (Garden State), Ellen Page (Juno), Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau), Jennifer Aniston (Along Came Polly), Amy Adams (The Muppets), Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), Emma Stone (Easy A), Greta Gerwig (Greenberg) and Ellie from Up. Okay, maybe not Ellie from Up, but you get the idea.
Also cast your critical eye over Jane Levy (TV's Suburgatory), whose upcoming roles in Fun Size and Nobody Walks (alongside Olivia Thirlby) are bound to launch her into the manic pixie stratosphere.
Wardrobe: Cardigans, floral dresses, ribbons in her hair, ribbons generally, tomboyish clothing (sometimes), MASSIVE HEADPHONES, the gawky male lead on her arm as they run off to do something utterly charming utterly unexpectedly.
Key characteristic: Awesomeness
Optional *characteristics**: *Wisdom; optimism; fairness; cuddliness; eccentricity; a willingness to banter about anything and everything; a love of bickering, family in-jokes and adorable pets.
Though it's tempting to just recast Juno's Mr. and Mrs. MacGuff (J. K. Simmons and Allison Janney) and Easy A's Mr. and Mrs. Penderghast (Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson) in your indier-than-indie movie, you can't just copy the pairings outright. Try mixing them up, perhaps - J. K. Simmons and Patricia Clarkson!, Stanley Tucci and Allison Janney! - and hope their rat-a-tat familial banter and general chilled-ness will carry across.
You needn't create a super couple, however. Eccentric, bickering ensemble families can also work, so check out the cast list of the Burnses in Dan In Real Life, the Hoovers in Little Miss Sunshine, the Foxes in Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Royal Tenenbaums in, um, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Allgoods from The Kids Are All Right.
Whoever you cast, what's key is that they represent the audience member's own family at both their best and their worst (but in the best possible way): their occasional witty repartee at its funniest, their arguments at their most dramatic. Bare in mind that super couples / endearingly dysfunctional families also serve as the endgame for the ongoing romance between the gawky male lead and the manic pixie dream girl – if they work out, they're going to be as awesome as these two, so it really is worth all this hair-twisting and teeth-gnashing.
Wardrobe: Wooly jumpers, wooly jumpers they themselves made, beanie hats, the appropriate outerwear for their eccentric hobby of their choice (e.g. steamtrain driving, all-body painting, topless jogging), something kooky to amuse the younger member of the family.*
Key characteristic: Acoustic guitarfulness
Optional characteristics: Jangliness; soul; a decent amount of sing-along-ability; a lack of production; whistling; hand-clapping; French lyrics.
In the perfect mainstream indie movie, the gawky male lead is going to get together with the manic pixie dream girl. This requires a montage. This montage requires some inoffensive alt.rock to accompany it, and it must be catchy, guitar-based and almost too twee.
Juno's 'Anyone Else But You' (as sung by stars Michael Cera and Ellen Page) practically defines this, but for other examples, look no further than any artists appearing on those O.C. compilation CDs from a few years back: The Shins ('New Slang', Garden State), Elliott Smith ('Miss Misery', Good Will Hunting), Leonard Cohen ('Hallelujah', too many films to mention), Spoon ('The Way We Get By', Stranger Than Fiction), Modest Mouse ('Little Hotel', Nick And Nora's Infinite Playlist), Bright Eyes ('We Are Nowhere And It's Now', Knocked Up) and The Eels (who scores almost all of Yes Man).
Then there's Death Cab For Cutie, whose delightful blend of sombre introspection and jangly hooks have seen their work ubiquitous in indie or wannabe indie movies (Easy A, Shop Girl, Mean Creek, Wedding Crashers) over the years.
Remember: these songs are the definitive sign that you're watching a 'Hollywood' indie movie, so don't scimp on 'em. After all, true indie films – films made for the price of a packet of Hobnobs and a hug – could never afford the rights. Famously, the biggest expense on Kevin Smith's Clerks was use of an Alice In Chains B-side ('Got Me Wrong') on the soundtrack.
Key characteristic: Having directed music videos
Optional characteristics: A lightness of tone; a love of sun-filled montages, indie music (hopefully a given) and dialogue-heavy characters.
Of course, plenty of mainstream indie movies aren't directed by men and/or women who've previously made rock-'n'-rollers look pretty for those MTV kids, but you'd be doing yourself a favour getting your eminently loveable dramedy helmed by a clapperboard-wielding muso.
Spike Jonze is the crown prince of this, having worked with The Beastie Boys, Daft Punk, Weezer, Sonic Youth and many more before bringing the world Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Where The Wild Things Are. Then there's Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, R.E.M., Travis – Little Miss Sunshine, Ruby Sparks), Michel Gondry (Beck, Radiohead, Massive Attack – Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, The Science Of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind), Marc Webb (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Snow Patrol – (500) Days Of Summer), Mike Mills (Air, Moby, Pulp – Thumbsucker), and many more.
On the other side of the coin, plenty of music video directors have gone on to do entirely non-mainstream indie features – Simon West created the video for Rick Astley's 'Never Going To Give You Up' as well as Con Air, The Mechanic and The Expendables 2, for example – and it's not that likely David Fincher is going to make Juno 2 anytime soon, despite creating the videos for Madonna's 'Vogue', 'Express Yourself' and 'Oh Father'.
Key characteristic: Out of towniness.
Additional, optional characteristics: Majestic woodlands, deserts, savannah-like plains, highways, byways, suburban areas of relatively obscure cities – anything that isn't too conventional.
Though of course you're welcome to set your story in major cities like New York or LA, bonus points will be awarded for taking middle America out of its cinematic comfort zones and into somewhere even more comfortable – like, say, suburban Minnesota (Juno), Rhode Island (Dan In Real Life), Baton Rouge (Jeff, Who Lives At Home) and the San Juan Islands (Your Sister's Sister) – to keep the film both grounded and a little quirky, location-wise.
Road trips work for this too as Away We Go, Little Miss Sunshine, Wristcutters: A Love Story, Looking For A Friend For The End Of The World and Rubin And Ed prove, although you may need unusual modes of transport for this. Think beat-up yellow VW vans to start with and allow your quirky mind to extrapolate further. Three-wheeled tandems, inflatable canoes... the choice is yours.
ps If the area you pick could include inhabitants that speak in quaint and occasionally indecipherable local accents – better yet, quaint and occasionally indecipherable local patoi – then this will result in fish out of water funtimes and hopefully extra hilarity will ensue.
Key characteristic: Being Catherine Keener.
Optional characteristics: Nothing else required - all Catherine Keener needs to do is be Catherine Keener.
With her indier-than-indie back catalogue (Being John Malkovich, Lovely & Amazing, Death To Smoochy, The Ballad Of Jack And Rose, Friends With Money, Into The Wild, Cyrus, Please Give, The Oranges, Synecdoche, New York), you are actively doing your movie a disservice if you don't get her involved in some capacity. She could sing the theme tune, appear as a credits cameo, even help out with the craft services - though of course this would be a huge waste of her talents.
Somewhat glib attempts at humour aside, Ms. Keener is a fantastic actress, with her work with indie directorial darlings Spike Jonze and Nicole Holofcener more than enough to make her worthy of your consideration. That said, don't confuse her with Mary Steenburgen or she'll straight up murder your ass. Possibly.
Wardrobe:* *Whatever the costume department have picked out for her; her hair reasonably long.
Why it's important:
Sundance, and for the mountain-averse, Toronto, are the best places to get your particular slice of quirky American indie pie in front of exactly the kind of journalists who'll enjoy it most. Without a decent groundswell of respected film lovers nattering about your well-observed observations and inspired casting choices, there's a good chance your uber-indie love story will fade into the unknown.
While you and your life's work are there, look out for Sony Pictures Classics, Fox Searchlight and Paramount Vantage executives to share hobnobs with, as they'll be utterly invaluable throughout your mainstream indie career, and generally schooze about the place - watch the competition, nick a few ideas, share mixtapes and generally try to find the next big indie thing.
Just to give a couple of examples of indiesque features getting the attention they deserve thanks to Sundance, think of Junebug, Thumbsucker, Me You And Everybody We Know, Hump Day, Paper Heart, happythankyoumoreplease, Like Crazy, and, as they say, much, much more.

There have been reports in neighboring Cities and Towns of people being scammed by suspects posing as Water and Sewer employees. They produce badges and Id's and state that they need to check the basement. The second suspect then goes upstairs and steals jewelry etc. Please be aware of any persons coming to your door for this reason.
Also, we have heard that many people were taking advantage of by individuals for water services ( paying a large amount of money for pumping etc) during the storm. If you feel like you were a victim we would like to know.

Hi All!
I desperately need some help...I have Spiderman cupcakes to make this weekend and have been so flat out with work and cakes I haven't had time to make the decorations.
I bought this Spiderman face mould but am not 100% sure on the best way to make them. I assume I should make them out of fondant with some hardening agent mixed in (might just have enough gum paste to make 20 of them), let them dry for a few days and then paint the red and black details on? I have red petal dust that I was going to use mixed with alcohol and do the same with the black.
Someone suggested making them out of red fondant and then cutting out the black and white eyes but that just went in the 'too hard' basket for me.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
I think it would be easier to make it with red fondant, cut out the white and then paint on the black details!
Give modeling chocolate a try. It is easy to make and will hold its shape much easier.

History may have given way to high-rise hotels, and fishing to foam parties in this former Catalonian trading port, but the region's fiery spirit is still evident, which is why Lloret de Mar is regarded as the liveliest holiday spot on the Costa Brava. As a resort, the town caters for the 18-30s and families with children. There are seemingly hundreds of British bars, discos and clubs to choose from, and the days are packed with programmes of beach frolics and fun. The resort has five rough sandy beaches, a massive water park, aquatic zoo and a theme park. For a taste of the real Spain visitors can revel in the local cuisine or gather in the town's Placa de la Vila on Saturday evenings to join in when locals dance the traditional Catalonian Sardana dance.
Resort Rating
Days are usually spent enjoying Lloret de Mar's seafront and the shingly beach that slopes sharply into the sea, making ideal conditions for a variety of water sports for holidaymakers to enjoy, from lazily pedalling boats, skimming the surface on a windsurfer, or diving into the depths. Other diversions include a host of holiday fun like go-karts, bungee jumping, a mini-train, bowling alley and horse riding. For a change of scene visitors can head off to the Waterworld aquatic park, or play a round of golf at nearby Santa Cristina de Aro. Most visitors opt for one or more sightseeing excursions during their stay; local operators, hotels and package tour companies offer a wide variety of outings from exploring Old Girona to coastal cruises and wine tasting in the Catalan countryside. Most popular are trips to the huge theme park at Salou and Marineland near Blanes, both a few hours drive away. Those who wish to get away from it all can opt for one of a series of mapped walks along the coast or to traditional villages inland.
While in Lloret de Mar, holidaymakers should be sure to dine at America, La Parrilla, Disaster Café or La Pampa Steak House. There is a wide variety of cuisine available in a plethora of restaurants and fast-food outlets, from the best of British to traditional tapas, at very reasonable prices and generally good quality. Favourites with holiday-makers are strawberries and cream, Sangria (fruited sparkling wine) and delicious dishes of paella (seafood risotto). Many of the local restaurants in the old town offer a "menu of the day" deal including two courses, dessert, bread and even wine for a few Euros. There are also tex-mex, Chinese and various other flavours to indulge in.
The nightlife in the holiday resort of Lloret de Mar is exhilarating, its hundreds of bars and 30-odd nightclubs pulsating all night, particularly along the Avinguda Just Marles I Vilarrodona strip of the old town. Night owls who stroll along here in the late evening are accosted by touts offering free tickets and drinks vouchers for the clubs, and partying here can be as cheap as it is lively. Among the more popular clubs and pubs are Bumpers, renowned for its Caribbean cocktails and glass dance floor; Moby's, where karaoke is the popular entertainment; and Tropics, the biggest and best night-spot in town where guest DJs rock the night with a mix of house, rock and trance music enhanced with laser lights and foam. Families opt for friendly "home-style" pubs in the suburb of Fenals, where kids are entertained and the favourite English soap operas are screened.
There are a multitude of shops and markets to choose from in Lloret de Mar, and plenty of time for holidaymakers to browse. The main shopping enclaves, from malls to small kiosks, are centred in the streets behind the waterfront. Wares tend to be touristy items, from souvenirs to bathing suits, and prices are generally reasonable although quality may be lacking. Some of the smaller shops close in the early afternoon hours and on Sundays, but in general visitors can shop happily from around 9am until late at night any day of the week during the busy summer season. The traditional local market is held every Tuesday on the Carrer dels Mestres, and there is a municipal market every weekday in the Carrer Senia del Rabic and Carrer Verge de Loreto.
The beach is comparatively small and becomes very over-crowded in the height of the season.

The child is not involved in any particular activity. He/she just observes what seems interesting at the time. When nothing of interest is happening, he/she will walk around, look around, or play with his/her fingers, hair, etc. The child often appears to be day dreaming.
This type of play involves a child playing beside other children. There is no actual interaction, but the toys are similar. The child is playing beside the other children rather than with them. (2-3 YEARS)
This type of play involves a child playing with other children. The children share toys and interact with one another. Children are involved in similar but not identical activity. There is no specific organization of activities. Each child does what he/she wishes but is a part of a large group. (3 YEAR – SCHOOL AGE)
This type of play involves organization. The child is a part of a group that has a specific purpose in mind such as making an art project or playing a game. There are usually leaders and followers in this type of play.
Play develops large and small muscles and increases speed, strength and coordination.
1. Play teaches children how things work. They learn how to reason and solve problems as well as practice new mental skills.
A child is involved in playing and interacting with others and/or with objects. A child needs to be involved in active play a majority of the time because children learn by active playing. The term activity does not necessarily mean jumping up and down or running. A child can actively look at a book, put a puzzle together, look at the clouds and create images out of them, etc.

Switzerland recognizes its treaty with Hawai'i and Ashton Carter responds
Honolulu, HI – Native Americans have been pushing for justice on the illegal occupation of Hawai'i. The Chickasaw named Emily Nashoba Dykes (formerly Jorden Dykes), born February 20, 1998, an activist, AFL-CIO trade unionist, and a trans woman member of the Communist Party USA, is petitioning for the United States to vacate the illegal occupation of Hawai'i. Emily is the youngest politician in the United States.
"Like 9/11, we committed it. We have also killed North Koreans and started the Korean War. We have a lot of control over the media. You really think North Korea would hack us or do the things we accuse them of? Of course not. We used chimerical weapons against the children of Vietnam, and not once have we been sanctioned. Hawai'i will never get compensation from us just like how the others never got compensation from us. We also installed a neo-Nazi government in Ukraine. We funded Hitler just like how we are helping ISIS. It's all about the money and we can laughably confirm this," said Ashton Carter via email, Secretary of Defense for the United States.
"Our people are not going to stand back," said Leo Akana. "We're going to continue to move forward. This is our country, international law says so. They already apologized to us but still no justice. We never even were allowed to vote but they still forcefully try and collect taxes from us, which is a war crime."
Protests against the Thirty Meter Telescope has spread far beyond the slopes of Mauna Kea. Rallies are now springing up around Hawai'i, the mainland and around the world. There's an online petition to halt construction and stop arresting protesters which has over 30,000 signatures. The Maui Circuit Court judge recently took judicial notice that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists. The Swiss Federal Criminal Court has also recognized Switzerland's treaty with the Hawaiian Kingdom, stating it never was cancelled and implies Hawai'i was never annexed. A TMT opponent Kaho'okahi Kanuha also has filed formal War Crimes in Canada. The 1897 Petition against Annexation has more than half of all Hawaiians signed. American flags have been taken down in Hawai'i.

(1) Texas A&M 77

West Virginia Cooks up a new look at safety
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The first time Darwin Cook played safety, it didn't go well.
"I was excited," he said. "I really felt like I was going to be a good safety, but when I came here, it was a whole different ballgame."
Cook, a defensive end in high school, matched up against former West Virginia speedster Jock Sanders on his first play. Needless to say, the results weren't the best.
"He crossed me up real bad and broke both my ankles," Cook said.
Since then, it's gotten better — a lot better.
Cook has become an effective boundary safety in the Mountaineers' defense. The redshirt sophomore made a team-high 11 tackles in Saturday's victory against Norfolk State and was named the squad's Defensive Champion of the Week.
"He's made a really tough transition playing defensive end in high school," safeties coach Steve Dunlap said. "When he came here, he totally had no idea what it took to be a safety, but to his credit, he's worked extremely hard."
Cook did everything at Shaw High School in East Cleveland, Ohio — playing defensive end, wide receiver and punter. Dunlap said he attended a game in which Cook, who was attempting to punt, turned a bad snap into a 55-yard touchdown run. That kind of athleticism made the West Virginia coaches think Cook could become a solid safety.
But athleticism can take a player only so far. He came from a high school defense that didn't use assignments, but he's quickly mastering the preparation that he needs to be successful.
"The main thing that was hard to overcome was watching film and actually studying and actually having a defense that you actually had to know some assignments," he said.
After a redshirt season in 2009, he played in all 13 games last year, posting nine tackles and a fumble recovery. After Saturday's standout effort, he leads the team with 15 tackles this season.
Cook, a Browns fan, models his game after Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. He likes the aggressiveness that Polamalu plays with and tries to mimic that.
Just like Polamalu moves around in the Steelers' defense, Cook is used all over the field in West Virginia's 3-3-5 stack. The safeties are versatile and do everything from playing outside linebacker in run support to blitzing to covering receivers.
"When you see people moving around, it's usually our safeties," Dunlap said. "That's the fun part of coaching: We get to do a lot of things."
Cook said he's happy with his progress but knows there's room for improvement.
"It feels good," he said. "I really don't think about it much because I can't get complacent."

daniel_owen_uk replied to Roku's topic in ZTE Blade / Libra - Blade.MoDaCo.comTFT is backlit, so you have a light that shines through crystals, the crystals change the colour of the light to give you red, green and blue. If they are all blocked (no red, green or blue) then you get black. However the backlight is still on and you will never get 100% black. OLED (all mobiles will be AMOLED as a passive matrix would use too much power), is where individual LEDs (Red Green & Blue) are lit, there is no backlight and to create black they simply all switch off giving a 100% true black. OLED contrast ratio is hugely superior to any LCD. Obviously OLED only uses power when creating a non black so as a result it uses less power. OLED is the better tech (until we get QDLED) ;)

Dome - Parting Words From Dean/CEO Edward D. Miller, M.D.
Dome June 2012
Parting Words From Dean/CEO Edward D. Miller, M.D.
Edward D. Miller
Date: June 15, 2012
During my more than 15 years as dean/CEO, not a day has gone by when I didn't think about Hopkins—from the time that I got up in the morning until the time I went to bed at night.
Mainly, I think about all of you, the people of Johns Hopkins Medicine. After all of this time, I'm still amazed and intrigued by the huge depth and breadth of knowledge, and the level of commitment here. I would dare say that there is no equal.
Recently, for example, I had dinner with Bob Montgomery, and we talked about the impressive strides that the Transplant Center is making with incompatible-donor organ transplants. I also spoke with Bill Nelson about the incredible things that they're finding out about cancer. It's not just all of the great things that they're accomplishing; it's that they are so excited and passionate about them. There are so many examples of that zest here, and it makes me feel good about Hopkins.
Of course, it's not only our faculty members who are making a difference. For instance, not long ago, I was at a biomedical engineering program at the Armstrong Building listening to young kids, undergraduates working with graduates and physicians from the medical campus on projects to solve medical problems. I couldn't help but be blown away by their talent and intellect. They had this group who had designed a paper strip that could tell whether there was HIV in stored blood—very cheap, but very effective. This simple, practical product could have huge implications for health care, especially in third world countries, where contaminated blood is a big issue.
Clearly, our faculty, staff and students should be proud of our institution. People want to work at a place that makes them feel their time is valuable, and I think we've created that kind of environment at Hopkins. I've certainly tried to help do so in my own time here.
As you know, I love talking with so many of you, not just about your achievements but what you're working on day to day. I've enjoyed getting to know about your lives and your families. You have, at every turn, directed that warmth and respect back to me, and I trust that you know how much I care about this institution. I'm sure that you know, in fact, that I believe all of you are the institution.
I remember a story some years ago where there was a woman in the hospital cafeteria crying because she had received a bad diagnosis. One of the kitchen staff members came over and sat down with her, comforted her and gave the disconsolate woman her religious cross. That's what this place is about. That's why I came here.
I see a lot of people in a day—a lot of different people. I'm going to greatly miss those daily interactions. That will be the most difficult part of leaving this place.
I could name so many people and what they've meant to me—people who in ways large and small contributed to the success of the institution. However, I do have to single out one person in particular, because he and I took leadership positions at a time when the medical school and health system were at odds with each other and the future of the new organization, Johns Hopkins Medicine, was uncertain.
When Ron Peterson became president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System and I was appointed as the new dean/CEO, it was critical that we work together, that we always be on the same page to repair the damage that had occurred before our appointments. We had to move Johns Hopkins Medicine forward.
Fifteen years later, I can look back and say that Ron and I have had an incredible relationship. We have different strengths and weaknesses, but we complemented each other so well. We can almost finish each other's sentences because we think so much alike. We might take different approaches, but we're always on the same page.
In making the organizational structure work, that's made a huge difference between where we started and where Johns Hopkins Medicine is today. Although I'm departing, I want people to understand and feel secure that Mr. Peterson is as staunch a supporter of the academic mission as I am. And I'm equally certain that Mr. Peterson will work just as successfully with Dr. Paul Rothman, the next dean/CEO, to move the institution forward.
Now it's on to a new chapter of my life. So, I say goodbye and ask that you to stay strong to the mission. Thanks for the privilege of working with all of you and knowing many of you. I'm both humbled and incredibly privileged to have been at Hopkins and to have been its leader. Who would have thought it possible that a kid who grew up in a tiny house at 63 Elmguard outside of Rochester would go on to become head of Johns Hopkins Medicine? That's just out of sight.

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Damien Woody, the Patriots left guard, was talking about quarterback Tom Brady last week.
"He's just a cool guy," Woody said. "He's like, 'We've been here, done that. Let's just go do it again.' He doesn't panic.
"We've been in the Super Bowl, we've been in overtime games. When was the last time this team blew somebody out?"
Good question. The Patriots are 10-2, but they have only outscored opponents by an average of four points per game.
Maybe, it was suggested to Woody by a reporter with his tongue planted firmly in cheek, Brady does it on purpose -- keeps the game close so he can be the hero.
"Maybe he likes bringing a lot of drama to the table," Woody said, smiling and warming to the concept. "The quarterbacks, they like being a star."
What about it, Tom? Does he intentionally play lousy, Brady was asked, so he can lead the Patriots down the field and be the star?
Brady, bundled up in a winter parka after a wind-chilled practice, laughed.
"I think he's full of it," Brady said. "Hey, I would like to go out there every week and throw for 400 yards and (have) our team win by 30, but that's not the reality.
"I think you get into those situations and you can look at it one of two ways. You can say, 'Ahh, God, this sucks.' Or you can say, 'Man, we're down seven, we've got a shot to come back and be a hero this game.' I think that attitude is taken by our whole offense. I mean, everybody remembers those great two-minute drives, those great players that could do that."
Four days later, it came to pass.
Against the Colts in Indianapolis, Brady completed his first 12 passes - a career best - and, after a sweet slant to Dedric Ward, had the Patriots on top 17-0 barely three minutes into the second quarter. It was 31-10, when the Colts - aided and abetted by Brady - came back.
Interceptions by Donald Strickland and Nick Harper helped Indianapolis level the game at 31-all. This, of course, is the kind of situation Brady thrives in. After Bethel Johnson returned a kickoff 67 yards to the Colts' 31-yard-line, Brady needed only three plays to produce a touchdown. On third-and-7 from the Colts' 13-yard-line, Brady hit Deion Branch in the right corner of the end zone and the Patriots led, 38-31 with 8:36 left in the game.
The defense and its dramatic goal-line stand -- the Colts failed to score the go-ahead touchdown on four plays from the 1-yard-line - made all the headlines, but Brady had done it again.
"We gave them a chance to get back in the game," Brady said. "Today we started fast, slowed down and then we finished fast."
Indeed they did. The Patriots won a wild one, 38-34, their eighth win in a row. Brady's numbers in the clutch, believe it or not, are even more impressive.
In only his second full season, at age 26, Brady has now authored 13 comeback victories -- games in which he has rallied the Patriots in the fourth quarter or overtime from a deficit or tie -- in 42 career starts. That's a heady comeback percentage of .309, nearly a third of his games. Incredibly, it has happened four times in the last six games.
It's worth noting that the NFL record belongs to the Broncos' John Elway, who led 47 game-winning or game-saving drives in the fourth quarter. But with 231 career starts, Elway's comeback percentage is only .203., about one in five.
While Priest Holmes, Peyton Manning, Ray Lewis, Jon Kitna and Steve McNair have been generating a lot of MVP heat, if Brady runs the table -- a possibility, considering that after this week's game against the Dolphins, the schedule offers the Jaguars, Jets and Bills -- he could thrust himself into that debate.
Consider this: after the 23-20 victory over Houston two weeks ago, Brady is 7-0 in overtime.
"He loves those moments," said tackle Matt Light. "He's such a big-time competitor that he's not going to give up. When it comes to those situations where we need seven points and there's a minute-thirty left, that confidence is always there. His ability to lead this team and march us down there and get those points has been just incredible."
Brady downplays all the attention with a disarming smile and this perspective:
"What's the worst that could happen?" he asked. "We're already down and we've played bad enough the worst thing that could happen is that we stay the same. And the best thing that could happen is that we go out there and throw a touchdown pass."
Statistical food for thought
There are four weeks left in the regular season and the NFL schedule maker has an early Christmas present for the football fan: A slate of terrific games between many of the best teams in the league.
New England meets the 8-4 Dolphins, while the Colts face the Titans in a battle of 9-3 teams and the Eagles (9-3) face off against the Cowboys (8-4). Looking for a common thread? Tom Brady and the Patriots have beaten all five of those teams. Throw in his comeback effort over the Denver Broncos, who host the 11-1 Chiefs in a game that is clearly open to suggestion, and Brady's fingerprints are all over this NFL Sunday.
Maybe it's just the crusty cynicism of New Englanders, but there are still rabid debates over the relative merits of Brady vs. Drew Bledsoe, the deposed star he replaced in the lineup during the run to Super Bowl XXXVI two years ago. Brady, a handsome and eligible bachelor, has been characterized in some quarters as, get this, lucky.
Well, Brady has the best record of any active NFL quarterback with more than 20 starts -- and, given the athletes involved, that is quite impressive. Winning is, afterall, the ultimate bottom line. Certainly, numbers can lie, but these statistics would pass any polygraph test:
1. Tom Brady 30-12, .714
2. Kurt Warner 35-15, .700
3. Jay Fiedler 34-15, .694
4. Donovan McNabb 40-20, .667
5. Brett Favre 121-64, .654
The one asterisk belongs to Marc Bulger of St. Louis. With Warner in decline, Bulger is a spectacular 15-3 (.833) in 18 starts for the Rams. Still, it will be worth checking back in a few seasons to see where his winning percentage is and if he's won a Super Bowl.
It's extremely early in the curve, but Brady is putting up numbers that coexist nicely with the great names in quarterbacking history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only two quarterbacks with 40 or more starts in the Super Bowl era (1966-present) finished their career with a winning percentage over .700 -- Roger Staubach 85-29 (.746) and Joe Montana 117-47 (.713). Other notable quarterbacks are a good distance behind: Terry Bradshaw 107-51 (.677), John Elway 148-82-1 (.643) and Dan Marino 147-93 (.613).
Which comes first, confidence or results? With Brady, it's hard to tell.
In Week 7, the Patriots were tied with the Dolphins at 13-all in overtime and got the ball at their own 18-yard-line.
"Zack Thomas and I were on the field talking about how this is what football is all about and high-fiving each other," remembered wide receiver Troy Brown. "And I walked into the huddle and (Tom) said, 'This is your play. It's your chance to hit the long ball.' "
Brady launched a rocket and Brown scored on an 82-yard touchdown pass. One play. End of game. End of Dolphins.
"In that kind of situation, you have to be aggressive to come back," Brown said. "That's the attitude he has. You can't play this game and be afraid. He's not afraid. And I think it permeates through the rest of us when we see it on his face."
Running back Kevin Faulk said Brady has the heart of a champion.
"It's not what you're going to do it, it's how you're going to do it," Faulk said. "He'll say in the huddle, 'This is what champions are made of. Let's see if we're a championship team.' "
New England trailed Houston 20-13 two weeks ago with three minutes, 11 seconds left. Brady took the Patriots 76 yards down the field in eight plays -- then faced a fourth-and-one at the Texans' 4.
"Tom was relaxed in the huddle," said tight end Daniel Graham. "He called the play like he knew he just had confidence that this was going to work."
Brady rolled right and, just when the Texas defense converged on him, he flicked an off-balance throw to Graham in the end zone. That tied it at 20-all with 40 seconds left.
"We've done it over and over and over again," Brady said, "and for us not to score would have shocked me a hell of a lot more than scoring."
A 76-yard drive in overtime set up Adam Vinatieri's winning 28-yard field goal.
When Brady says something in the huddle, the Patriots believe.
"We do," Graham said. "We believe him."
Said Brady, "I think that's a feeling like I've got it all figured out. There's nothing that can shock me anymore, and there's nothing that I haven't already anticipated, so at that point, I think, there is a calmness."
Slow starter, fast finisher
Brady sits in the visiting locker room at Gillette Stadium. After a soothing post-practice massage he is extremely relaxed.
Even after he is interviewed by an ESPN reporter for 15 minutes, he has no objections when he is asked for a few definitions. The answers are telling.
"Confidence," Brady says, somehow sounding modest, "is believing 100 percent that you'll be able to get the job done."
Brady has always believed in himself. He was a sixth-round choice of the Patriots in the 2000 NFL draft from the University of Michigan. There were 11 quarterbacks taken in that draft, and while Chad Pennington (No. 18, Jets) and Marc Bulger (No. 169, Saints) have been terrific, Giovanni Carmazzi (No. 65, 49ers), Chris Redman (No. 75, Ravens), Tee Martin (No. 163, Steelers), and the legendary Spergon Wynn (No. 183, Browns), were all taken ahead of Brady.
He has always been something of a slow starter. He earned only two varsity letters at Serra High School in San Mateo, Calif., -- the alma mater of Lynn Swann and Barry Bonds. He backed up Brian Griese (a fellow NFL sixth-rounder) as a sophomore when the Wolverines won the national title in 1997.
Brady threw three passes his rookie year behind Bledsoe, but when Bledsoe was knocked out against the Jets in the second game of the 2001 season, Brady became head coach Bill Belichick's choice the rest of the way. He set a league record for pass attempts (162) without an interception to start a career.
The Patriots finished the regular season with an 11-5 record and, after a bye, played the Oakland Raiders in the divisional playoffs. It was a game made memorable by the Tuck Rule interpretation and five inches of fresh, driving snow but, ultimately, it was Brady's game.
With New England down 13-3 in the fourth quarter, Brady completed all nine passes in a drive that he finished with a 6-yard rushing touchdown. In overtime, he completed 8-for-8 to set up Vinatieri's winning 23-yard field goal in overtime. In harsh conditions -- in the first playoff games of his career -- Brady completed 32 of 52 passes for 312 yards.
That would be the working definition of cool (literally) under pressure.
"Cool under pressure," Brady said, "is keeping your poise and never allowing your opponent or your teammates to see that your confidence is shaken."
In the suffocating pressure of Super Bowl XXXVI, Brady displayed unnatural poise. With the score tied at 17-all with one minute, 21 seconds left, Brady -- without the benefit of any timeouts -- took the Patriots 53 yards in eight plays. Brady was 5-for-6 with two intentional spikes, the last one coming in a ridiculously casual manner with seven seconds left. Vinatieri kicked the winning 48-yard field goal as time ran out, marking the first and only Super Bowl to end on the final play.
What is "it" that Brady has?
"There's no real way to put a word to it," Light said. "You've either got it or you don't -- and he has it."
His considerable talents, however, do not extend to defining pressure. When asked to do so, he failed miserably.
"Pressure is knowing exactly when something is on the line," Brady began, sounding convincing. "Something critical is there to gain I think that's the pressure to grab hold of something and obtain something that maybe a lot of ways -- that's a (expletive deleted) definition. What the hell am I talking about? That was pathetic -- do we need to answer with that one?
"That's a tough question," he said. "It's very intangible, it's just a feeling, pressure "
Brady laughed and slumped in his chair.
"God," he said. "I do have a college degree. Do we have an extra tape over there?"
Brady agonized over his inability to capture the meaning of pressure, but he needn't have beaten himself up.
Apparently, he couldn't define what he doesn't feel.

Sound — 9
No bullsh-t in this review, when any music fan (from '70s rock to death metal) listens to Turbowolf's debut, there is no doubt that they'll be blown away. Their sound is so unique, similar to Royal Blood's heavy sound and style, but these guys came first and rightly in my opinion, come out on top. All 13 songs are different in some way and the lighter "interlude" songs ("TW1" & "K-J") slot in nicely with all the other tracks, shame that no matter how much I love this album and the days I've put it on repeat, I can't help but feel that some main tracks on the album are just a bit short.
"Introduction" is a great build-up into an album like this and the synth mastery of Chris Georgiadis opens the song. The fast-paced riff in this song is nice and catchy, and the unique Turbowolf genre (still can't classify it) is immediately introduced and leaves a great impression. The intro leads into the classic song of theirs, "Ancient Snake." The riff Andy Ghosh provides is memorable and heavy, and the track develops well throughout with no parts of the song feeling empty. The song ends with Chris showing off his vocal talent with a long choking note, and at the end of that there's no way you can't feel satisfied.
"Seven Severed Heads" opens with a lasting impression with fast vocals and speeding guitar riffery. The song explores its own world as it moves quickly into different stages, however at the end of it I feel cut short of something even though the song comes nicely to a close. "Bag o' Bones" is definitely one of my favourite tracks on the record showing off the great drumming talent of Blake Davies. The production behind this track is great, it is so precise (even has a bone crack sound effect into the last chorus, tying the title in with the song)!
"TW1" is a good transition and has a great "epic" feel about it. Has samples from live shows these guys have done and is mainly made up of synth, not much else to say about it, but its an amazing interlude nonetheless! This leads nicely into their heavy song, "Read + Write," another riff filled song you could nearly describe as a dance track for its upbeat feel! The bridge of this song is what really hooks me into this song for its build-up and live gets loads of heads throbbing (trust me, I've even seen these guys live)! "The Big Cut" is another Turbowolf classic and a great song for a mosh, and is full of great tunes. The bridge feels a tad too long with a repeating bass idea, but the solo that follows it is more than worth that wait.
"K-J" is very similar to "TW1" and is made to sound like a strange samurai arcade game theme. Its a very unique minute and a half, and is another worthy interlude. Following that is "A Rose for the Crows," arguably their most successful song (possibly due to the use of the song in a popular snowboarding game "SSX") and is worthy of claiming this success. The main riff in the song is catchy and easily memorable with an easy structure and fantastic ending! The song following that is "Son (Sun)," a lighter song with great guitar works in it (the awkward Bb standard tuning is probably the song's only downfall considering I'm a guitar player myself!). The song switches tones well and is a great contrast to the previous track.
"Things Could Be Good Again" is an absolutely fantastic track on this record, acting as my second favourite song on the album (behind the last track, "Let's Die"). It is probably the most fast-paced song on this album and leaves a blood-stain in the crowd during live gigs. The bridge again is what really makes this song what it is, with a great guitar riff and synth/vocal idea. This leads into "All the Trees," a song I'd like to call a build-up to the ultimate track of the album. I love this song, it has great use of a repeating synth pattern and the vocal line is quiet and effective relating it to its feel. Into its fantastic heavy section, the riff is very catchy, and I feel its a big shame this band never have played this song live.
The final track, "Let's Die" does not disappoint as an ending to a great album, with its punchy riff and hypnotic synth sound in the intro and bridge, no wonder this is my favourite "Turbowolf" track. The verse is very well done and the use of synth and guitar for a solo works too well. The ending is mind-blowing, by this point in their concerts, half the crowd would've probably suffered concussion. I don't think I need to say much more about this track, just listen to it right now. No complaints with length here as it lasts a good four minutes and a half! The overall quality of all the songs is to a very high standard, the only downside is the length of some songs for me.
Lyrics — 9
I can't say much about lyrics as I'm more about the sound of songs and not the best critic on words, the overall impression I get from these guys lyrics-wise is that they're well crafted and suit their sound and Chris' gritty voice. My favourite use of words is in their great song, "Seven Severed Heads," as Chris repeats these lyrics over and over again, the title is engraved into your brain, and it's very impressive how he's able to sing fast enough for these lyrics to work within the song. Other songs use lyrics well like "A Rose for the Crows," singing 'we found a priest after all, lets go and bury them all' works too well. Only negative is that I feel that the lyrics seem slightly unclear, but that doesn't bother me at all, the whole album leaves be gob-smacked either way.
Overall Impression — 9
This album is my favourite album of 2011. Turbowolf are so unique with their strange and trippy, psychedelic rock feel. "Let's Die," "Things Could Be Good Again," and "All the Trees" stand out to me as my favourite tracks on the album, as I have said that I feel with some of the other songs, they're just too short. Comparing these guys to the likes of Royal Blood, recently having hits with "Little Monster," "Out of the Black," and "Figure It Out," Turbowolf are arguably heavier than the rock duo, however their style is quite similar. It is a relief that Royal Blood are promoting this new genre of rock and the fact that Turbowolf even support these guys for a tour in winter 2014 just shows their similarities.
The Bristol four-piece are on their way towards their second record, posting on Instagram that the record has been finished and is on its way towards us. Their brand new song "Solid Gold" is a change from their style on this album but not by too much, the vocals have been refined and they've incorporated a few more electronic elements. In November they are hinting to release a new track, entitled "Rabbit Foot" along with a music video announced on Instagram also, and it is definitely worth getting excited over. Another brand new song "American Mirrors" has had its live recording at the KOKO in London, and the recording is easily discovered on YouTube so check it out, but before I drift away from the current album any further...
Turbowolf's self-titled debut album is game-changing. It has many catchy riffs and great synth work alongside a talented group of players. The unique style of the band make their songs interesting and provide a great hook for the listener. If sometime I lost this album, I would buy 10 more copies just for spares cause this album is really worth that. This album is raring on 10/10 for me, but the feeling of more from a couple of songs gives it a heavy 9. I'll do a review on their next album once it comes out next year, but for now, listen to these guys, buy this record, and stick it on repeat for a few years, its really that good...

Twenty-five new smart bins will be going into Merton parks this summer, the council has announced.
The new smart solar-powered bins have compactors inside them to compress rubbish, meaning that the bins will have a much greater capacity than standard litter bins.
When they are full, an electronic signal is sent to the council's greenspaces litter team letting them know it is ready to be emptied.
Parks where the bins are to be deployed include Wimbledon Park, Dundonald Rec, John Innes Rec, Morden Park, Joseph Hood Rec, Figge's Marsh, Lavender Park, Tamworth Rec and Ravensbury Park following a trial last summer.
Merton's cabinet member for environmental cleanliness and parking, Councillor Judy Saunders said: "We are pleased to have more smart bins going into our green spaces following positive feedback from residents and the successful use of them in other parts of the borough.
"By investing in more bins it shows we are listening to our park users and it will help keep our parks clean by allowing our litter team to be more efficient with their collections.
"We are committed to keeping our borough litter free."

Newspaper reports on Wednesday said Louis was leaving because he was fed up of the way fellow judges Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne treated him.
According to The Sun, Louis quit after Simon Cowell called him an idiot and Sharon Osbourne threw water over him.
But if Louis is back on Saturday's show some may suggest it's all a publicity stunt to get even more viewers.
An X Factor spokesman said: "We are talking to Louis and we hope we will be able to persuade him to return to the show on Saturday."
Louis told The Sun: "I have been totally humiliated and undermined by both of them. This has caused me nothing but stress... I have had enough. I'm going back to Dublin. I'm not putting up with it any more."
Are people being too mean to Louis?

MILLERSBURG -- With only three competitors, there was a brief moment, after the naming of the second and first attendants, when Ciera Hall knew she would be queen, but she had yet to receive permission to celebrate.
"I actually didn't know what to do. I really wanted to scream, but I realized it was not appropriate," she said.
As the past year's first attendant, Hall visited almost 25 festivals around Ohio. This year, she looks forward to returning to her favorites, including the upcoming Circleville Pumpkin Festival, and ones to which she did not make last year.
"Last year I was really excited, but this year I feel so good to be accomplished," said Hall, who entered the contest because "I've been doing it all my life."
In her younger years, she represented Holmes County as second attendant to the antique festival princess. She also has served as the Killbuck Early American Days princess and junior queen.
Hall, 16, is the daughter of Steven and Helen Hall of Millersburg. She was crowned Saturday afternoon by outgoing Queen Autumn Le.
Joining her on the 48th Annual Antique Festival Court will be queen's first attendant Kaitlyn Currence, 16, the daughter of Doug and Carol Currence, Shreve, and second attendant Becca Chanay, 16, Millersburg, the daughter of Greg Chanay and Brandy Coblentz.
Crowned earlier in the afternoon, taking reign as princess over for Kyli Horn, was Maurissa Parrett, 10, Millersburg, the daughter of Lindsy and Marty Ling and Michael Parrett. The princess' first attendant
was MeKenzie Currence, 10, Millersburg, daughter of Brian Currence and April Rose, and the second attendant was Brogan Steimel, 7, the daughter of Sam and Ronda Steimel of Millersburg.
Parrett said she was excited to hear her name announced as winner. "I knew I was going to get picked for something, but I didn't know it would be princess," said the first-time competitor.
Among areas on which the princess candidates were judged was their impromptu response to a question, which for Parrett was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a librarian because I like to read and collect books," she said.
She is looking forward to her year as the festival's 2010-11 princess, and the many chances she will visit different festivals and meet new people ... including Hall, who also is looking to "a whole bunch of travel and meeting new people."
In response to her own impromptu question, Hall said her favorite subject in school is Western Civilization "because I love learning about the past and where we come from."
It was into the past she delved in her report about Millersburg Glass, a topic she found particularly interesting because her family collects the famed carnival glass that has its origins in Holmes County.
Hall, Parrett and their courts will be among those participants to make their way through Millersburg today at 2 p.m. for the grand parade.
Other contestants in the princess contest were:
-- Madeline Dawson, 10, Millersburg, daughter of Darren and Cass Dawson.
-- Kiana DeWitt, 8, Millersburg, daughter of Mike and Miriam DeWitt.
-- Lisa Elliott, 10, Millersburg, daughter of Richard and Rebecca Elliott.
-- Allison Franks, 10, Holmesville, daughter of Jason and Jillian Franks.
-- Samantha Kendall, 8, Glenmont, daughter Jeff and Bonna Kendall.
-- Madison Mellott, 7, Millersburg, daughter of Brett and Tara Mellott.
-- Kelsey Miller, 10, Millersburg, daughter of Jason and Kim Miller.
-- Julianna Parrish, 8, Millersburg, daughter of Ricky and Rhonda Parrish.
-- Ashly Phillips, 7, Millersburg, daughter of Greg and Mary Phillips.
-- Tera Raber, 9, Millersburg, daughter of Julie Russell and Todd Raber.

Seriously, can this really be the only comment? This was a short-lived TV show but it was from a very good, popular movie. I just watched the premiere episode today on an old tape I dug up and it really wasn't that bad. In fact, this had the basics of a popular long running show. The first thing, this was a 60 minute serio-comedy, not a 30 minute sitcom (with laugh track) as reported here on IMDb. If anything this show was either ahead of it's time and/or just ill-timed. But a meaty one hour format with a large ensemble cast (this one spanning 4 generations) with thoughtful relevant writing seems to be the way things have gone since then if you think about it. Looking backwards at this one it had a pretty nifty cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Thora Birch, David Arquette and of course Ed Begley Jr. If you ever see an episode you'll recognize some of the other faces too. Maybe the problem was the "Parenthood" name. A whole new name and tack might have given this show the extra push it needed to build a little following. I doubt if this show will ever rear it's head again but I thought it was good enough to warrant AT LEAST ONE COMMENT!
From what I've read over the years, Parenthood was conceived as a series in the late 1980s but never got picked up by the networks. It was then turned into a movie and, after the movie was a hit, relaunched as a series...??!! The series came and went despite a great cast of TV actors (any couple can relate to Ed Begley Jr. and Jayne Atkinson as parents and/or William Windom and Sheila McRae as grandparents, not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio and Thora Birch among the children). Add into this Ron Howard and his partner Brian Grazer and at least five other people credited as executive producers. This show should've clicked as a series but it didn't...??!! 20 years later, it's back...different cast and the same producers...let's see what happens this time around!! This was a great series that should've worked. My wife and I saw the movie and every episode of the series and, as previously stated, we related to the Begley-Atkinson couple. Let's see if 20 years have changed things.
Yes,cute but like most TV series'of which are inspired by theater movies tend to be rehashes not just of the movie itself but itself on the whole too and of which is why they do usually tend to get canceled quickly too.the 1st episode rehashed the boy in the cowboy hat & gun holster scene with the boy in diving mask & flippers scene. I saw each episode of this short lived series except for the last one of which was the Christmas one.But as anyone could tell especially with the holiday themed episodes is if those were made to celebrate the same holidays again in another season then they'd chances are rehash the previous ones of the same holidays.so if you see the Halloween,Thanksgiving & Christmas ones then you'd agree.As you'll also see the premise is also cute but still very limited limited too.Also look in to this to see how Leonardo Di Caprio was both before he got "Growing Pains" as well as before his career got to be "Titanic".The boy who played Young Gil in the movie had played Kevin on the TV Show.Truthfully, Stephen "Steve" G. Baer a.k.a. "Ste".

There are 14 bond ETFs that have a trailing yield of 4% or more, and that have positive 3-year and 1-year price returns, and no more than a 1% negative 1-month price return. There are 11 if the 1-month price return criterion is set to positive as well.
Here they are (click image to enlarge):
They include high yield (junk) bond funds, municipal bond funds, an emerging markets bond fund, long-term U.S. investment grade bond funds, and inflation protected bond funds (both US domestic and world).
The lowest 1-year total return was just under 8% and the highest 1-year total return was nearly 30%.
Note that no other criteria were applied for this list, such as trading volume, bid-ask spreads, expense ratios, asset size, credit quality, number of holdings, currency exposure, duration, and other risk factors relating to potential interest rate rises. You will want to consider such things.
We own HYG (junk) from the list above, plus some other actively managed bond mutual funds in the emerging markets, municipal bonds and investment grade US corporates categories.
