To the Editor:
In the Nov. 24 issue, Robin Hensel submitted a letter to the editor regarding poor health and poverty. In the Dec. 1 issue, a letter was written in response. While I have no objection to debating issues, I do however object when the published response fails to address issues and instead mocks a community member.
Morrison County has long ranked disastrously in health and poverty. This calls into question the agendas of those who are leading government agencies/nonprofits. Since 2002, Morrison County has received on average $28,500 in Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds, money earmarked for the poorest counties in the U.S., yet in 2011 those funds were cut to $4,413. Why?
With the SHIP grants earmarked for improving community health, however, do we mean to achieve this objective by giving a chunk of money to the school cafeteria when our hungriest children eat from the free lunch line? How many donation dollars does it cost annually to give every preschooler in our county a free book each month when thrift stores sell them three for $1?
Nonprofits/government agencies should demonstrate a measurable community benefit; if not, then perhaps the money trees spoken of are growing in the yards of program purveyors. — Jody Scott-Olson, Royalton

Consumption Taxes and International Competitiveness in a Keynesian World
The present paper analyzes the consequences of a consumption tax reform for the export sector. In particular, it offers an explanation why exporters support such a reform although economic theory basically predicts trade neutrality. To this purpose, the basic neoclassical model is replaced with two Keynesian assumptions, i.e. sticky wages and absence of perfect foresight. It is derived that in both cases the export sector expands in the short run. However, with sticky wages, this is only possible if, at the same time, the central bank fixes the exchange rate. In the absence of perfect foresight, on the other hand, the additional condition for the tax reform to increase exports is that the government balances its budget in each period.

Investor Beware - Numismatic Collector Coins
In life, sometimes the fastest way to learn is to make the wrong decision.
As much as we love to learn new things, as investors we prefer to learn from other people's mistakes as opposed to making them ourselves.
Due diligence is mandatory!
For today's gold and silver investors, industry pitfalls are aplenty and one's chances of making wrong investment choices grow each day as this gold and silver bull market gains further ground.
In the coming weeks and months we will be delivering Investor Beware pieces to help our customers understand the mistakes one can make investing in this industry.
There are many institutions and dealers who play upon investor fear, ignorance, and or greed in aims to hook line and and sinker capital away from you and into their pockets.
This week we will start with one of the most prevalent black eyes in our industry: behold, the unscrupulous numismatic coin dealer.
One of our bullion customers a few years ago told us about an unfortunate investment he had made, $250,000 sunk into supposedly rare old gold coins. His words… "Now that gold has doubled in price, I still can't find anyone that'll give me what I paid for these @%&!#@g things."
Over the past few years, collectable numismatic coin outfits have been growing like weeds and thanks to their ruthless scare… ah sales tactics and incredibly high product markups of 30-50% or more over spot prices, buying expensive advertising is no problem for these folks.
Be it on radio or television, they'll even buy one of the Presidential Candidates you may have voted for or purchase the endorsement of a high exposure TV "newsman".
Here at GoldSilver.com we are often asked our take on numismatic collector coins. It is also rather commonplace to have all types of investors approach our dealership confessing their mistake in purchasing collector coins in the hopes of getting their gold and silver investment portfolios back on track.
Ah but first, let us digress. We must define numismatics and explain the positive qualities of collectable coins, yet why we believe they make poor silver and gold investments for the average investor.
Numismatics is defined as the study or collecting of coins, medals, paper money, etc. Numismatic is the proper term for collector coins having added value to their collectors as beautiful, old, precious items, in addition to the value of the metal they contain.
There are three "layers" of cost built into the price of a numismatic coin: metal content, numismatic premium, and dealer profit.
This in contrast to bullion bars and bullion coins, which have only two layers of cost: metal content, and dealer profit.
And sold for $21 million to you sir! On to our next lot.
We think of numismatic coin collecting in terms of fine art. Common sense tells us that true numismatists, collector coin experts, are generally child coin collector enthusiasts who found their trade early on. There are a select few of successful players in these arenas; they typically have lifetimes of expertise.
As for novice involvement in collectibles, it can be very risky business from an investing and financial point of view.
Let us be clear, in a precious metal bull market, a select few numismatic coins will do well; but many will not. Unless you are an experienced, knowledgeable coin collector, with as much or more knowledge than your numismatic dealer possesses, investing in numismatics is a high-risk proposition.
As you can read, we are not fans of numismatics as investments… at least not in this cycle. There are a few reasons for this:
For one, unless you are well educated and knowledgeable about these products, you cannot hope to profit. And, two, we believe a currency crisis is inevitable, and probably sooner rather than later.
In the event of a global currency crisis, all the growing millions of investors who have been hoarding their collectible coins over the past four or five decades will dump them on the market in a desperate rush for cash or liquidity. Should that occur, the value of premiums on numismatic coins, save those items whose rarity is absolutely indisputable, will tank.
Finally, we warn you that upwards of the high ninety percentile of scams and cons in the physical precious metal industry are pulled using numismatic and semi-numismatic coins. There are many scandalous methods cutthroat dealers may apply in hoodwinking investors; here are some classical cons they use:
Bait & Switch 101
Many large-scale semi-numismatic coin dealers will advertise incredible deals with low priced bullion products to attract gold and silver investor interest.
Once these dealers have their prey on the phone, their sales force is trained to balk on selling the advertised bullion and up-sell on their high-markup items, like pre-1933 gold coins, Swiss francs, French roosters, etc.
Their sales tactics would be laughable if they weren't so effective at fleecing the public from their hard earned savings.
Confiscation Scare -> Up Sell Tactics
This deception generally preys upon the essential reason folks call or visit these outfits in the first place (their uncertainty about the economy and governmental policies).
If a dealer ever attempts to influence your investment choices by using confiscation scare tactics, simply exit the shop and or hang up the telephone.
If they have the audacity to present you with President Roosevelt's 1933 Executive Order, laugh in their face and walk away.
Here is why you should do so:
President Roosevelt's 1933 Executive Order 6102 prohibited the private ownership of gold in America. It required US citizens to hand over their gold bullion to a Federal Reserve bank or face a $10,000 fine and or 10 years imprisonment.
The President's order listed the following exemption:
Gold coin and gold certificates in an amount not exceeding in the aggregate
$100 belonging to any one person (roughly 5 ounces of gold) ; and gold coins having a recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins .
The "rare and unusual coins " clause is what many dodgy coin dealers use to convince investors that regular bullion coins are not safe. Under the ruse that they themselves are offering rare and unusual coins which would be exempt from a potential future Roosevelt-style confiscation, they are then able to justify up-selling the public 30 to 50% or more of the precious metal coin content of the products they sell.
Neither Rare nor Unusual
Our research has shown that roughly 25% of privately held gold in 1933 was turned into various Federal Reserve banks (this gold was melted down into 22k bar form and moved into Fort Knox helping to ensure the dollar's viability as an internationally convertible gold standard currency). The roughly remaining 75% of privately held gold was hoarded and not turned in.
Not one US citizen was convicted of hoarding their gold and millions of common pre-1933 gold coins still being sold today are ironically being touted by those same sellers as rare and unusual, the exact same coins the government sought to acquire under Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102.
Real rare and unusual numismatic coins can sell upwards of 100 times or more of their precious metals content.
Chances are high that great granddaddy's hoarded $20 Saint Gaudens gold piece is neither rare nor unusual. And chances are even higher that the large semi-numismatic dealers hounding your Internet browser, television, and radio are offering you products that are neither exceptional nor fairly priced. They are more than likely offering old domestic and foreign overpriced silver and gold products.
Cherry Picked Stats of Value Appreciation
Rare coin sales pitches will many times come complete with figures tracking numismatic coin versus bullion ask-price performances over select periods of time. The select rare coin baskets and or indexes displayed will of course outperform bullion, this thanks to beneficially hindsight-selected spans of time and products.
For example, this breath-taking chart:
Their statistics will of course also fail to reflect the collector coin's extreme bid ask spreads and mark-ups for their performance valuations.
2008 Performance Chart
In the 2008 performance chart above, the creator has deceptively written a zero in front of gold's 6% appreciation for the year making it appear as if gold were merely up 0.6% for the year. Now that is some transparent numismatic niceness!
What is their Bid Price?
Just ask any dealer for the bid price of the product you are interested in, even balk as if you actually own the product and are in the market to sell. Then simply see how transparent their answer is.
Also always be aware that a collectable dealer's grading leads to arbitrary realms of valuation where your collectable coin bid can be cut down substantially.
Would you be experienced enough to know when you are being fleeced on a collectable coin bid/offer price?

Everyone Needs a Hobby
If you are into collecting old coins as a source of pleasure, go for it. All of us have things of beauty we desire or admire, and no one can take that enjoyment away from you.
As kids we loved our baseball card, comic book, and Barbie doll collections. Far be it from us to take pleasure away from any enthusiastic coin collector out there.
If you do decide to delve into numismatic coin collectibles, we urge you to do your research, learn as much as you can about old coins and about the dealers you trade with.
We also urge folks to refrain from looking at numismatics as a way of feathering one's nest or for protecting wealth, in all likelihood, most folks will be far more secure and profitable over the long-run by sticking with gold and silver bullion investments.
If you are interested in physical gold in silver for the same reasons as us, we believe the best way to invest is by acquiring physical silver and gold bullion.
Gold and silver bullion coins, or bars, have the type and grade of metal and their weight stamped right on them. In the event of a crisis, your local radio and television stations, news websites and stock tickers will constantly be broadcasting the price per ounce. You will know exactly how much your gold or silver is worth at any given time; and dealers, buyers, merchants and bankers will know as well. Demand for your bullion will skyrocket, and you will be able to sell your metals quickly and easily.
It's highly unlikely the same will be true of your numismatic coins, for which you will have paid a higher premium to begin with. The exact metal content may be unclear; dishonest dealers may dispute the coin's weight; and no one is likely to care that you paid a few hundred extra dollars in premium per ounce because your coin was old and supposedly rare.
As a gold and silver investor it pays to do your homework to learn what to do and almost more importantly, what not to do with your gold and silver investments.
As for us, we're going to stick to physical gold and silver bullion investing. We believe this to be the surest path to profit from the oncoming currency crisis and the tremendous transfer of wealth ahead. What about you?

Front-line staff at Airedale Hospital are being urged to protect themselves and their patients by having their free flu jab as soon as possible.
Employee health and wellbeing staff have launched their annual campaign and will be visiting wards and departments to vaccinate staff and spread the word about how important the flu jab is.
Rob Dearden, director of nursing, at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We would like our staff who come into contact with patients to have the flu vaccine as soon as possible before the virus is circulating – especially as it takes two weeks for the vaccine to take effect."
Andrew Catto, medical director, said: "Staff vaccinations can almost eliminate the risk of flu spreading from staff to colleagues, their families and their patients, for whom flu can be fatal in some cases."
Last year 56 per cent of front-line staff took up the offer of the free flu vaccination, which was above the national average.
The Trust expects the percentage to be much higher this year.

3-13 is good for 2nd last. But...
3-13 is good for 2nd last. But...
why is it why we suck?
For F sake, stop creating stupid threads junior.
Sure there is, ownership makes a lot more money if the Raptors become a good team and make the playoffs.
Judging from the last regime, they dont give a flyin skiddoo about playoffs. However, there is a new regime here. Hopefully, they appreciate the positives of having a team that is good enough to get US TV love...
*sorry I should elaborate. The last regime turned the Leafs into a billion dollar franchise without seeing the playoffs for 7 years or so...those are the same people who hired BC.
being better in the future, could risk a loss of profit in the next quarter. It doesn't matter to them that one day they could be making a much bigger profit, if they lose out on profit in the near future (especially since nothing is for sure in this league) then they have a problem. Economic theory ftw!!
Pass out the tin foil hats!
If you're talking about ownership then I could buy that if we were the Bulls, who refuse to spend into the tax despite the fact that they obviously could and should. I could also buy it if the OTPP still had a controlling stake, because they didn't spend when the team was employing Bosh and setting it's sights on playoff runs.
But since Rogers purchased that stake in 2010 there has been zero reason for ownership to sign off on going over the cap and possibly into the tax. You're essentially pre-judging them based on how the previous owners behaved.
Consider that the controlling interest in the team is now a media company that would benefit ENORMOUSLY from building the Raptors into a better brand with consistent playoff appearances. Ticket revenue is just a fraction of the revenue pie. If the times to spend comes and ownership fails to step up to the plate, then go ahead and judge them. Until then, you're passin out the tin foil hats.
I don't think any owner would be fully satisfied with healthy attendance and a lousy record. And as many people have posted on many threads here, it's really hard to be a contender if you're not in one of the major US markets.
Having said that, our MLSE hockey cousins are in one of the major hockey markets, and they have just as much trouble competing. So is it MLSE's fault, bad luck, or a combination? Who knows.
Whatever the case, I think we can all agree that Pietrus will make everything better.
Celebrating the Futility of the Toronto Raptors:
If a company offers a product or service (whether its a good or bad product/service) and the customers keep buying it (ie. dollar voting) they'll keep making and offering that product.
Now thats not to say they won't change, they won't try to invest more in an attempt to get more 'votes', or vice versa. The point is there is little reason to change if what you are offering is working, because nothing is driving a need for change.
This isn't "judgement" of BC or Rogers or MLSE. If anything its a judgement of the fans and what they want and what they are willing to pay for.
Ticket revenue itself may only part of total revenue, but it indirectly drives alot of other revenues. For example concession sales (or concession rental), in house advertising revenue, and product sales can all be effected by ticket sales. Its also a clear indicator of market demand.
On one hand, I understand the frustration. If fans are unhappy about the team's performance, then they should stop supporting them (ie: not pay to attend games), in order to send ownership/management a message. Does that ever really work?
On the other hand, I think there are a lot of positives to be taken from this. As Toronto tries to build itself into an NBA free agent destination, having a loyal, supportive fanbase can be a great drawing card. Despite a poor record, in the face of a weak economy, playing for the Raptors means you still play in front of a good home crowd. A good home crows is great for building morale of young players and also provides the team with a homecourt advantage.
It could very well also just mean that a lot of Raptors fans are satisfied with a rebuilding team that's loaded with young talent, who are highly competitive on most nights. Obviously the rebuild/build is nowhere near completion, but perhaps more level-headed fans realize that the young kids need/deserve loyal fan support, even if those same fans feel disdain for management not producing results as fast as we'd hoped. There's a reason rebuiling/building is called a process; it's not an overnight thing, or even a one/two season fix. Most fans wanted a rebuild and we've got it, so I don't get the outcry while we're struggling during that process (it was/should have been expected).
I'm proud of Toronto Raptors fans filling the ACC to support OUR team!

Not only is the forthcoming holiday a season for travelling and resting from lessons, but also the time of increased interest in taking up a job by young people. How to employ juvenile workers in accordance with provisions of the Labour Code, but without additional formal responsibilities?
A prospect of earning first 'own' money for a holiday adventure or to buy sport equipment attracts young people. Growing demand for workforce during the holiday season boosts companies' interest in employing juvenile workers. However, the juvenile job market is considered to be rather unattractive. The reasons of that are numerous e.g. employing a juvenile worker is highly restricted and obliges employers to meet additional formal requirements. The Polish Labour Law stipulates that children at the age of 15 may be employed, but full-time jobs are only for young people over the age of 16 who graduated from junior secondary school. Jobs which occupy young people's time needed for learning are out of the question. During a school year a teenager must not work longer than 12 hours a week, during school days - no more than 2 hours. In the holiday period it is possible to work up to – hours a day, but without crossing a weekly limit of 35 hours. The Labour Code restricts also what kind of job young people can undertake. –Juvenile people can conduct only soft jobs, which are not hazardous to their health, life or psych-physical development and will not exceed their physical abilities. If an entrepreneur want to give a full-time job to a juvenile person who does not have any professional qualification, he/she is obliged to enter into contract for the purpose of vocational training – in this case restrictions imposed on the employer are severe, because they involve maximum protection of juvenile employees - explains Grażyna Chmielowska, Sales & Operational Director at Adecco Poland.
Good alternativeApart from many restrictions, employing a juvenile person does not necessarily involve formal burdens or responsibilities for employers. Temporary work can solve this problem. In accordance with Act on 9 July 2003 on the Employment of Temporary Workers, agencies are entitled to employ juveniles. -Employment agencies can engage youngsters on the grounds of civil law contracts such as: mandate contract, contract for specific work. The advantage is that above-mentioned forms of employment are not burdened with unnecessary formalities and young people have short-term contracts for soft jobs and seasonal work – says Grażyna Chmielowska, Adecco Poland.
Wanted!The most popular holiday jobs among juvenile workers are vacancies in gastronomy, leafleting , or working at promotional-sales campaigns conducting by e.g. travel agencies. Via agencies teenagers can also earn extra money by working at a packaging process e.g. putting mobile phone into boxes, packing gadgets with newspapers/magazines etc.-We predict that in this year there will be more vacancies than during last holiday. However, the increase does not concern a number of vacancies available on the job market, but the proportion of companies which look for employees via temporary work agencies – claims Grażyna Chmielowska.

Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2007/05/16 - Recent analysis from Frost & Sullivan - Desalination technologies are gaining prominence because of resultant high-degree pure water and effective handling of water shortage.
The increasing need for clean water is the driving factor for advances in desalination technologies to purify water and wastewater.
Recent analysis from Frost & Sullivan (ti.frost.com), Advances in Desalination Technologies, provides information on technological developments at organizations, companies, universities, research institutions and government labs involved in developing or using desalination technologies in water and wastewater treatment processes. The study also includes a summary of key patents to provide an insight on notable activities, technology trends and major participants involved in the development and application of these technologies.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants with an overview of the latest analysis of the Advances in Desalination Technologies, then send an email to Johanna Haynes, Corporate Communications, at johanna.haynes[.]frost.com with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, fax number, email address, city, state, and country. We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.
In wastewater treatment, the treated water could be reused for industrial process such as cooling water, boiler feed, process water and heavy construction, says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Rebecca Bright. The pace of advancements in desalination of water and wastewater has been high in the last five years, and the scientific community is still researching various methods to improve existing methods of desalination.
Due to the significant advancements in membrane and thermal technologies, the unit price of treated water has decreased by approximately 50 percent or more. In addition, researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University have undertaken a study on increasing 8 in-membranes to 16 in-membranes in order to increase the area of the membrane for better water reuse and desalination. A major membrane manufacturer is also looking at ways to improve membrane performance by looking at alternative approaches to design, configuration and elements.
Desalination technologies require pretreatment in wastewater and, in some cases, pretreatment in water. In reverse osmosis (RO) for example, pretreatment is essential when particles such as sticks, leaves, trash, grease, suspended solids, organic substances, colloidal substances and odor need to be removed. This prevents fouling and clogging of the membrane, which otherwise would reduce the efficiency of the membrane and decrease the quality of water generated.
"While pretreatment adds to the capital investment cost and deters widespread uptake, this will eventually even out as the efficiency of the treatment is higher and the life of the membrane is longer, notes Bright. "The Tampa Bay project in California, which was supposed to be commissioned by 2003, is a good large-scale example of the failure of a due to the lack of proper pretreatment facilities."
To overcome the challenges demonstrated by the conventional pretreatment process, water treatment industries have piloted new treatment technologies and utilized full-scale pre-treatment of raw water. CH2M Hill International has described new technologies such as dissolved air floatation (DAF), low-pressure membrane filtration, ultra filtration (UF) and micro filtration (MF).
Advances in Desalination Technologies is part of the Technical Insights Growth Partnership Service. This study reviews technological developments that might influence the landscape of desalination technologies in water and wastewater treatment and covers the key participants and their technological developments. While some technologies in the study have been commercialized, others are expected to be commercialized in the near future. Interviews are available to the press.

Franklin County commissioners said Tuesday they hope to give county employees some form of a pay increase in 2014.
If there is an increase, it may not come in the form of a raise but a "stipend," Second District Commissioner Mike Schatz said.
This would be a one-time increase that would not automatically happen again in subsequent years, Schatz explained. This way, the county would not be committing itself to the increase in the future.
The commissioners don't want to give a raise and then be put in a position of not being able to afford it in future years, First District Commissioner Tim Brinker said.
Brinker said it is unknown right now whether employees will get raises next year, but there should be an answer within 60 days, he said.
Presiding Commissioner John Griesheimer said the commissioners' goal is to give raises, but if that can't happen, he would at least like to give the workers a one-time stipend.
Schatz noted that the commissioners will soon have budget meetings with the different county departments. He said he thinks every day about giving employees a pay increase.
Employees have not had an across-the-board raise since 2008, but they were given a one-time bonus of $700 in 2011. That bonus was only for full-time employees and did not include elected officials or department heads.
A 1 percent across-the-board raise would cost the county about $150,000, Brinker said.
Griesheimer said he is pleased that the employees will not be faced with an increase in health insurance costs next year.
If a one-time stipend is given this year, Schatz said he would like it to at least be $750.
The pay increases could possibly be given to all employees, including full-time and part-time workers as well as elected officials and department heads, Griesheimer said.
"Everything's on the table," he said.
Sales tax collections have factored into the discussion of whether the county can afford to give raises next year. The county's sale tax collections dipped in September but remain up for the year.
Collections fell by $98,704 compared to September of last year.
But for the year collections are still ahead by $384,157 compared to the first nine months of 2012
So far this year, the county has collected more than $12 million in sales taxes compared to $11.66 million the same time period last year.
The county collects three half-cent sales taxes — general fund, law enforcement and capital improvements/road and bridge.

The Apple iPhone has been in the hands of US gadget fans for over a month now, and even those who queued up to get their hands on one of the first models are still discovering new tips on what it can and can't do.
While the first reviews have been broadly positive, iPhone fans still want the device to do more so it fulfil its promises as the best gadget of all time. (See our Apple iPhone review)
So with a month of heavy iPhone use now their, the editors at PC Advisor's sister title Macworld US have all weighed in with a list of things they'd like to see the iPhone do or, in some cases, do better. So here's the wishlist of Apple iPhone upgrades we'd like to see to help make the handset a success in the UK market.
A few of our iPhone desires are admittedly out of reach for the current model, as they would require changes to the iPhone's actual hardware.
Add GPS support: We can't say enough good things about the Maps application that helps you easily find locations and driving directions with a few simple taps. Actually, there's one other good thing we hope to say about Maps in a future version of the iPhone - it would be the ultimate mapping application if it knew where you actually were at all times. With wireless access to Google's regularly-updated maps (or the ability to pre-load maps for a region on your iPhone), a GPS-enabled iPhone would be a reasonable alternative to a full-featured GPS receiver for many people.
Go 3G: Many people hoped the first iPhone would feature support for 3G, a wireless technology that offers better network performance than the EDGE network that the iPhone actually uses in the US (though 3G is still slower than Wi-Fi). Apple has said the reason 3G support wasn't included in the first iPhone was that available 3G hardware would have hampered battery life, and that AT&T's current 3G network isn't widely available. AT&T says its 3G coverage is currently limited to 160 metro areas, although the company is expanding that coverage. In contrast, the iPhone's EDGE network is available in most AT&T coverage areas. Still, you can expect to see 3G support in a future iPhone model - and that will improve the phone's wireless capabilities.
The interface
The iPhone's interface is its bread-and-butter, and it's tasty toast at that. But sometimes you run into a piece that just feels half-baked. As cool and 'ooh'-inducing as the iPhone's multi-touch interface is, there are things about it that don't quite feel finished.
Let us select text: Although the iPhone tries to anticipate your text manipulation needs, and provides you with a few ways of shunting information from one app to another, there are times when it's like driving in central London: you just can't get there from here. Say you want to send an address to a friend from the Maps app, or perform a Google search for a term on a web page. Maybe you just want to delete a large amount of text quickly. There's no way to do that now - instead of grabbing a block of text, swiping your finger brings up the magnifying loupe. Adding text selection capabilities - along with cop, cut and paste commands - would fix this problem in a blink.

A new self-assessment survey of educational technology use conducted by Software and Industry Information Association reveals schools are holding steady when it comes to technology use, with no marked decreases or increases reported. However, they would like to do better. Respondents were asked:
- How well is technology currently integrated in your educational institution?
- What do you feel is the ideal level of integration for technology in your educational institution?
- How important is integrating technology into your educational institution?
The results of this year's survey show that schools have remained level with the previous year's level of technology implementation. So while there hasn't been a marked increase in tech usage, at least edtech startups and entrepreneurs can find comfort in the fact that there has been no decrease either, despite considerable budgetary constraints affecting K-12 and higher ed institutions. That being said, K-12 institutions lag behind Postsecondary ones in terms of current tech integration, which might pique the curiosity of startup companies catering exclusively to the K-12 crowd.
Unfortunately, the report's summary concludes that "U. S. education institutions are making only limited progress in leveraging technology and eLearning to meet their educational goals." We shouldn't despair, however. In this case, perhaps no increase in tech implementation is actually good news. More room for improvement, perhaps? Plenty of market potential lies ahead for ambitious companies.

Detailed Description:
The hypothesis of this study is beneficial T cell reactivity in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tumors can be synergistically stimulated by blocking suppressor endothelial cells and their induction of other inhibitory cell populations while also maturing immune inhibitory CD34+ cells into antigen-presenting dendritic cells.
To test this hypothesis, newly diagnosed OSCC patients will be administered the cyclooxigenase 2 inhibitor celecoxib and/or Calcitriol for the 3 week duration between cancer diagnosis and surgical treatment. The following aims will test the immunological and clinical effectiveness of the combination treatment:
- 1. To block the suppressive activity of endothelial cells and increase the levels of dendritic that are stimulatory to T cell reactivity, thereby synergistically increasing intratumoral T cell reactivity. These functional immune analyses will use OSCC tissues removed from untreated patients or patients treated with celecoxib and/or Calcitriol.
- 2. To reduce development of OSCC recurrences by synergistically stimulating intratumoral T cell reactivity with celecoxib to block suppressor endothelial cell activity and Calcitriol to mature CD34+ suppressor cells into T cell stimulatory dendritic cells.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Important: Usually Mitsubishi requires one of their authorized servicers to check the TV first, before they will offer a concession. It is best to have an estimate of the repair from the technician before you call Mitsubishi.
Unfortunately, this is a defective light engine. I have changed many of these simply because they were covered in dust.
If you were to consider the fan on a desktop computer and the amount of dust collected in the vents, this is what the light in your TV is passing through on its way to displaying the picture. The fan draws the dust into the light engine. It is a common flaw with LCD projection TVs.
I am fairly certain Mitsubishi would offer to supply the part for your set. They will take your old light engine, disassemble it, clean it, and replace any damaged filters and panels, and then resell it. Yours is certainly not the first (or the last) light engine to be covered in dust.

A Mexican national was arrested Sunday for attempting to smuggle 24 pounds of methamphetamine through the DeConcini port of entry in Nogales, authorities said.
The meth was valued at nearly $370,000, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
Marcos Abel Espinoza-Beltran, 33, was driving a Chrysler van and during an inspection a drug-sniffing dog alerted officers to drugs.
During a search, 10 packages of meth were removed from the rear sliding-door panels, said officials in a news release.
The vehicle and drugs were seized and Espinoza was turned over to officials of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

Fun route and climbs up a cool section of stone. The start and first bolt are shared with Big Blue. Some tufa moves leads to a tricky undercling section, then a long ways of enjoyable steep climbing. It is probably only 11+ / 12- to here. At the crux the wall blanks out and you have to make a huge move off a good undercling hueco to a far away crimp. Stick this and continue up on steep ground with a few powerful moves and throws. The upper section will be exciting if you haven't worked the moves and there isn't a sling hanging from the anchors. At least it will be all air!
If you can stick the crux than this will probably be an easy tick. Many have massive issues with the powerful throw though.

|Apparently a jug tufa once allowed for an excellent rest at the last bolt, but the tufa ripped off several weeks ago. The remaining holds afford only a very brief shake before the upper crux. The grade probably hasn't changed, but the upper moves make for a serious redpoint crux after you've built up a pump. Felt like a stiff .12d.

Former marine reservist and Donna cop in fight of his life with cancer
Tue, 30 Jul 2013 02:09:30 GMT —
Samantha, Savanna and Pete, ages 6, 4 and 2, are three reasons why Pedro Omar Perez says he'll beat cancer.
"I have to recover for them," he said in a telephone interview from his room at MD Anderson in Houston. "Regardless of what happens, I'm still a father and I'm still going to care for them."
Pedro is no stranger to battles.
The former Lance Corporal served in two tours overseas including in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Marine Corps. Reserves.
He's also a police officer in the City of Donna.
But cancer is an enemy without a face.
The 27-year-old was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Osteosarcoma.
Doctors say he could lose his leg due to a lesion that won't stop bleeding.
"It's a different battle," Pedro explained. "It TMs one that I wasn't prepared for really."
His wife Lucy and their kids travel as much as financially possible to Houston to be by their champion's side.
Pedro's father, Jose Perez, a Corporal with the Alton Police Department, shares how his son's sudden illness is taking a toll.
"Pain," he said about what he's feeling on the inside.
Like any loving father, Jose doesn't want to see his son, a man who's typically on his feet for public service, on a hospital bed facing the unknown.
While optimistic, Jose has a message for everyone about how precious life truly is.
"Do the best that you can every day," the father said. "Do whatever you can to help people. That's the best reward that you can have."
Pedro is appreciate for all the support he's been receiving back in the Rio Grande Valley.
"Without their support I don't think I would be able to get through all of this."
His children TMs faces are helping him to heal.
It's a family filled with love but in need of financial support.
A bank account has been set up at First National Bank in Donna under the name Teresa Perez for Pedro Omar Perez.

'Ultimates' #1 Puts The Series Back On Track [Spoiler-Free Review]
This week, Marvel Comics brings back the Ultimates – no "new", no numbers like Ultimates 2 or Ultimates 3, just a regular ol' ongoing series – with Ultimates #1 by Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribic and Dean White. Building off of plot points in Ultimate Fallout and Mark Millar's last arc in Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates, this series sees Hickman's return to the Ultimate Universe since he re-established Thor's origin in last year's Ultimate Thor with Carlos Pacheco. How does this new series stack up to its auspicious, chart-topping predecessors by Mark Millar and Jeph Loeb? Find out below in a spoiler-free review after the jump.
In short: Yeah, I think this is pretty much what everyone wanted.
It is not unfair to say that following Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's two thirteen-issue runs on Ultimates and Ultimates 2, the work Jeph Loeb did with the characters in Ultimates 3, Ultimatum and New Ultimates alienated many longtime readers by transforming what used to be a hyper-politically-aware pseudo-satire into Jersey Shore with repulsors. The original interpretation of The Ultimates — "The Avengers for modern times" — became "Everyone has sex. A lot. Also, incest."
While Millar's run was short on subtlety, one thing it wasn't short on was relevancy. It might even seem dated now, but the Millar/Hitch Ultimates was unapologetically and enthusiastically of its time, when George W. Bush and Freddie Prinze, Jr. jokes seemed fresh and hip, or desperately wanted to look so. But in the process, Millar and Hitch delivered a story and aesthetic that redefined the Marvel style and prompted Marvel Studios' approach to the feature films based on those characters. Jeph Loeb's Ultimates gave us sex tapes, cuckolded robots and cannibalism.
So what does Jonathan Hickman give us? A new superhero comic that's half Robert Ludlum and half Jack Kirby, and something that feels like a logical escalation of the very popular work Millar and Hitch did. It's still a world where the Avengers are super-soldiers rather than super-heroes, and everything we know or recognize is a bit off, or skewed, by this military presence. There are numerous characters in this book that Hickman's written, sometimes quite extensively, in the regular Marvel Universe, but his Nick Fury here seems completely different from the one we've seen in Secret Warriors, and another character is a very deliberate, dark inversion of the one Hickman writes on a regular basis.
The attempt to marry technothriller infodump to grand, sweeping superhero majesty is no clearer than in the second and third scenes of the book. The second scene was released as a preview in the back of many Marvel titles in recent weeks, and depicts a sit-rep delivered to Nick Fury that's filled with international intrigue and reports from the President. The third scene, which is completely silent, involves a bear drinking beer and a self-replicating nanotechnological dome. Hickman makes these disaparate elements work well together by playing the goofy stuff as straight as he possibly can, as well as pacing the issue at truly breakneck speed. Fury is quickly presented with multiple new twists and problems on every page. Seemingly disconnected crises pile on with great frequency, communicating Fury's hectic schedule and mounting panic very well to the reader.
While it's difficult to discuss the story while also skirting around the identity of book's the main villain — who Marvel deliberately left out of the preview — it is easy to discuss Esad Ribic and Dean White's gorgeous artwork. Ribic had a very successful career as a painter for a few years — look at the covers for House of M or the interior work he did with J. Michael Straczynski on Silver Surfer: Requiem — but he's recently started re-reinventing himself as a penciller to great effect, especially in a recent run on Uncanny X-Force. Here Marvel's dropped the ink component entirely, with Ribic's art digitally painted by the incredible Dean White. The results are stunning and achieve a realistic look without losing sight of the fantastic or resorting to extensive photoreference.
As expected, Jonathan Hickman's first issue of Ultimates is an incredibly promising start, bringing the series back to its widescreen technodrama roots while also evolving past them in a direction that feels fully logical. My only major concern is that I'm not sure how it'll work with new readers, which is a big problem with a new #1. The villain's motivation, as well as Captain America's absence, are both set up in the Ultimate Fallout miniseries and are largely enigmas in this context. Whether those factors will matter to new readers at all, I don't know; it's difficult for me to divorce this book from the context of the Ultimate Universe I've formed by reading the line for the past ten years.
What I do know that Ultimates #1 is a damn good comic.
