First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients, fat of unidentifiable origin
The first ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 8th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make any significant contribution to the meat content of the food.
The grains are of mixed quality. Rice is decent quality grain, but rice flour (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) and rice bran are both grain fragments we consider primarily filler.Corn is a difficult to digest grain also commonly associated with allergy problems. Corn Gluten Meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in wet milling manufacture or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police served more than two dozen search warrants and made six arrests in an investigation targeting the theft of baggage by handlers at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) � Police served more than two dozen search warrants and made six arrests in an investigation targeting the theft of baggage by handlers at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.
Detectives and officers from the city and airport also seized jewelry, electronics, clothing and other personal belongings on Wednesday night at 25 locations in the region, including the airport, airport police Assistant Chief Michael Hyams said.
"We believe that there has been a culture of being able to take property that wasn't theirs, and that's what we want to be able to put a stop to," Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Ray Maltez told KABC-TV.
The people arrested were primarily employees or ex-employees of companies contracted to handle luggage and did not work directly for the airport, Hyams said.
Some of the suspects worked for Menzies Aviation, which has an office at the airport. The alleged crimes "were limited to a handful of employees, acting independently," the company said in a statement Tuesday.
"Menzies supports this enforcement action and pledges its complete cooperation with the police investigation," the statement said.
The undercover investigation came in response to a string of theft reports from planes, terminals and runways, police said.
Four suspects were taken into custody on suspicion of receiving stolen property and two for outstanding warrants. A total of 14 people were detained for questioning. More arrests were expected.
The suspects had undergone employment and criminal background checks before they were authorized to work at the airport, said officials, who will attempt to return the seized items to owners.
Most of the police activity was at the Tom Bradley International Terminal and at Terminal 4, which handles American Airlines, American Eagle and some Qantas flights.
Television news showed police raiding airport terminals and leading out people in handcuffs, with several wearing yellow reflective safety vests.
The raids were first reported by KNBC-TV.
Every year about 55 million pieces of luggage are checked at LAX, which served nearly 67 million passengers last year.

OVPsim beats QEMU in fidelity in CPU simulation - its determinism and speed were pretty impressive. OVPsim configurability is a big advantage as well. We were able to configure low-level CPU features, thanks to comprehensive documentation. I was also enthusiastic about the machine description file. It was easy to connect a missing interrupt signal we needed.

OCEAN CITY – A state of confusion arose this week when a supposed state regulation almost put a stop to Ocean City's attempts to consolidate its municipal elections with national Election Day.
Early this week, a letter from City Solicitor Guy Ayres had circulated among the Mayor and City Council answering a list of questions regarding consolidating Ocean City's municipal Election Day in October with national Election Day in November.
On June 18, the council voted 4-3, Council members Joe Hall, Doug Cymek, Mary Knight and Lloyd Martin in favor and Brent Ashley, Jim Hall and Margaret Pillas opposed (as well as the mayor, who does not have a vote on the matter), to instruct Ayres to draft a charter amendment to make the switch in hopes to draw a larger voter turnout, as well as save in election costs.
Ayres had contacted the Worcester County Board of Elections over the matter and officials in Snow Hill in turn contacted the State Board of Elections, which provided a list of responses to the questions asked.
The first item on the list caused the most concern this week stating that in order for Ocean City elections to be held by the county as part of the general election, legislation authorizing such must be passed by the General Assembly. If the state board is correct, the charter amendment cannot be passed in time for this year's elections since the General Assembly only meets January through April.
However, on Wednesday, Maryland Municipal League (MML) Director of Research Jim Peck confirmed Ocean City does not need the General Assembly's approval to move forward in consolidating election days.
"All the Town of Ocean City needs to do would be to amend their charter to change the election date," he said.
Peck explained that Maryland municipalities have authority to conduct their own affairs as they see fit and the MML fully supports that discretion.
"The league itself has no position as to when municipalities should have their elections," he said. "The election dates of all municipalities are all over the board. There are very few municipalities that have municipal elections that coincide with state or federal elections."
Peck said in recent history Cumberland in Allegany County and Hagerstown in Washington County were told that if they want the county to continue to conduct their elections for them they would need to move their election date to coincide with the county's elections.
In that case, Cumberland chose to make the move, without the General Assembly's approval, and to Peck's knowledge Hagerstown has not acted one way or the other yet.
"Over time, I have been approached by other municipalities looking into the possibility of changing their election dates to coincide with state or federal elections and frequently municipalities have opted not to do so because of the concern of having the local municipal issues that are involved in the elections, having them subsumed by state or federal issues, should they decide to coincide their election dates with state or federal elections," Peck said.
Councilman Doug Cymek, who encouraged the vote last week, has been following the process closely this week and has no doubt that a vote to consolidate election days will take place during the Mayor and City Council's meeting next Monday, July 2.
"I have no doubt it will move forward … this is not about us, it's not our day, it's not a party, we are here to do what it is best for the town, and it is about voter turnout and that is enough justification for me to vote for it," said Cymek, who has filed for re-election and will be seeking his second, four-year term.
Councilwoman Mary Knight, who is up for re-election and said she is most likely going to file, is also confident that a vote will take place next week following discussion and public input. She supports the change not only to increase voter turnout and to save in election costs but also because it would be more convenient for voters.
"People are so busy nowadays, a lot of people work multiple jobs, taking their children to school, so if they could just carve out an hour or two from one day instead of two separate days, I think it helps everybody," she said.
Last week, as a compromise, Knight asked what the chances were of having Ocean City's candidates placed at the top of the ballot if elections were to be held on national Election Day.
According to Ayres' letter, Ocean City candidates and issues will be last on the ballot.
This week, Knight was at ease over the response.
"I think it is my responsibility to do a good job to make sure everybody knows who I am," she said.
However, Cymek expressed some concern about ballot placement.
"Will the voters have the stamina to get through a lengthy ballot like that?," he questioned.
One other item that raised some discussion from council members was a onetime cost of an estimated $10,000-$15,000 the town would have to pay for programming the county system to incorporate the municipal election.
"Once you get past the first year, you will have an annual savings but this is just not about money, this is also about bringing out more people," Cymek said.
In the past, the town has reported the estimated cost of conducting Ocean City's individual municipal election is $10,000.
"If we did change it, the money would be a wash, the one-time cost of $10,000 … so we would save a little bit of money in this election and moving forward we would save a lot of money," Knight said.
Other regulations that would have to be followed is the town would have to adopt state regulations for elections, the town's filing date for candidates would have to be changed to meet ballot printing deadlines and early mailing of ballots (45 days) to members of armed services, the county system is not set up to allow for the supplemental (town only) voter roll, all candidates must file in Snow Hill and Ocean City would have to pay all costs associated with any special election requested.
Councilman Brent Ashley voted against consolidating election days last week, stating the town's individual day has become a tradition. He confirmed that stance this week.
"It is one day you have a chance to interact with the voters, a little one-on-one, … and for me I like it because there has been many council members that have come before me that have gone through the same process and greeted the voters," he said.
In past discussions over the possibility of combining election days, Ashley has suggested the town host an Election Day festival to increase voter turnout.
"Here in Ocean City having one voting location it would be excellent … we could have music and entertainment and street performers and hotdogs, have a festival atmosphere so people can have something to look forward to," he said. "In our history, voting used to be a big celebration day, the people would come off their farms and people would come so many miles to vote that they would make a whole day out of it. So why not have a little excitement here."
Ashley added that if a vote is conducted next week he does not see the election date being changed this year.
"I just think that once the dust settles I think somebody is going to change their mind," he said.
Via Facebook, the Citizens For Ocean City group sent a message out to the community to attend the Mayor and City Council meeting on Monday to voice support for the consolidation. The organization is in favor of holding Ocean City's elections the same date as the federal election for the same reasons — increase voter turnout and save money in election costs.
According to city records, in 2010 out of 6,000 registered voters in Ocean City only 1,383 voted, a 24.7 percent turnout, which was a decrease from 2008 when 1,393 people voted, a 24.8 percent turnout.

ST. PAUL -- A Minnesota House committee voted Tuesday to allow new nuclear power plants in the state, with another vote coming soon to remove a ban on new coal power plants and to allow North Dakota coal and electrical power.
Rep. Denny McNamara, R-Hastings, promised to work with Gov. Mark Dayton on both issues. Dayton has expressed reservations on expanding nuclear power.
"We're not interested in jamming and getting a veto," said McNamara, chairman of the House Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Committee that voted 10-6 to advance a bill lifting the nuclear power plant ban to another committee.
McNamara and other Republicans leaders, who hold a legislative majority over Democrats, expect some form of the measure to pass. Democrats generally oppose lifting the ban, saying they do not want more nuclear waste stored in the state, and some claim nuclear power is too expensive.
President Victoria Winfrey of the Prairie Island Indian Community Tribal Council told McNamara's committee that the tribe opposes lifting the nuclear moratorium until a safe place to store waste is found.
Winfrey said 725 tons of waste already are stored at Prairie Island nuclear power plant, operated by Xcel Energy. She said that if the power plant's license remains in effect for another two decades, 2,500 tons of waste will be stored there, near the tribal community.
The president said she feared that an increasing number of "operating errors" puts her tribe in radioactive danger.
Dan Bender of the Red Wing City Council said the city supports lifting the construction ban. He reminded the House committee that French nuclear reactors use recycled nuclear material and urged state lawmakers to pressure Washington to begin that process here.
Bride Seifert of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce said that no company is considering building a new nuclear power plant, to join ones in Red Wing and Monticello.
Even if someone wants to build a new plant, Rep. Andrew Falk, DFL-Murdock, said, "we have the capability of talking about nuclear power in the current structure."
"Over the past few years, Minnesota has made a nation-leading commitment to home-grown renewable resources," added Rep. Bill Hilty, DFL-Finlayson. "Our emphasis on renewable energy is jobs now, not jobs 10 to 15 years from now."
Rep. Joyce Peppin, R-Rogers, said she sponsored the bill lifting the moratorium because the demand for electricity will continue to increase as her children grow older.
"I am concerned about their energy needs in the future," she said.
McNamara said that "sooner rather than later" his committee will take a step to allow new coal power plants to be built.
Before that vote is taken, however, McNamara plans to invite North Dakota officials to his committee.
North Dakota is considering suing Minnesota over laws that restrict electricity generated by that state's coal-fired plants. Laws also do not allow North Dakota coal to be imported for use in Minnesota coal plants.
McNamara said he expects the Legislature to take some action opening Minnesota to coal-fired electric plants and to North Dakota coal and power.

(CNN) -- It's become a classic scenario: You have a headache and after Googling it, you find out a headache can be a sign of a brain tumor.
If you rush to the emergency room suspicious that you have a tumor or something else deadly serious, chances are you're being paranoid. But sometimes you're not being paranoid -- you're being right.
That's what happened to Debbie Tonich when her son John's headache, diagnosed initially as dehydration or a flu bug, turned out to be a cancerous tumor. In this case, paranoia -- or some would call it mother's intuition -- paid off.
"I think I saved his life," Debbie says.
John's story
One Sunday in February, shortly after a wrestling match, 16-year-old John Tonich, a high school sophomore, started having short, sharp headaches.
"They lasted 10 seconds, and I'd have to take a second and sit down or go stand off to the side," John remembers. "I had three or four of them a day."
At first his parents thought it was a concussion, since John had been thrown to the mat during his match. Two days later, when the headaches didn't go away, they took John to their family doctor in Parma Heights, Ohio. She diagnosed dehydration, which made sense to the family since John had been drinking less to fit into a lower weight class for wrestling. She drew some blood from John and told him to drink Gatorade.
Two days later, on Thursday morning, the headaches disappeared, but John was feeling nauseated. Debbie took him back to the doctor and asked if it could be a concussion, and John wondered out loud if it could be an aneurysm. They say their family doctor told them it was probably the stomach bug that was going around.
"As we were walking out the door, she handed us a prescription for a CT scan, and said, 'Just in case,'" Debbie remembers.
"The worst possible tumor in the worst possible place"
The Toniches never used that prescription.
The day after that second visit to the doctor, John texted Debbie from school that he felt dizzy. She picked him up and went right to the emergency room.
"I didn't use the prescription, because then I'd have to wait for an appointment, and I knew that could be a while, and then I'd have to wait again for the results," she says.
At the emergency room, John had a CT scan and then an MRI.
"The doctor came in and told John he had the worst possible cancer in the worst possible place and would have a year to live, or two at the most," his father, Joe, remembers. "We came in thinking he had a slight concussion and left with a death sentence."
John immediately went by ambulance to the Cleveland Clinic, where it turned out the situation wasn't nearly as dire as the ER physician had made it sound. It turned out he had a medulloblastoma, a tumor diagnosed in about 1,000 people every year, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.
Dr. Tanya Tekautz, John's doctor and co-director of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at the Cleveland Clinic, says 50 to 60 percent of children with the same type of medulloblastoma John has are still alive five years after their diagnosis.
John's family says the surgeon managed to remove the entire tumor, and he's now in a clinical trial receiving both radiation and chemotherapy.
The Toniches don't blame the family doctor for not figuring out John had a brain tumor, since headaches can mean so many different things.
"She went with what was logical," Joe says.
They're certainly glad, though, that they took matters into their own hands and went to the emergency room. Debbie says her son's illness just didn't seem like a flu, when someone usually suffers many symptoms all at once.
"Everything that went wrong was single things -- first the headaches came and went, then the nausea, then the dizziness. It just didn't make sense," she says. "If something doesn't feel right, keep pressing. Don't stop."
Headaches usually aren't brain tumors
Of course, John's story is highly unusual; the vast majority of people who have headaches don't have brain tumors.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, a headache isn't cancer," says Dr. Gene Barnett, director of the Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center, who treats adults at the Cleveland Clinic. "It's a stress headache or a migraine or sinusitis or something else benign."
For every 4,000 children who have headaches, one will have a brain tumor, according to Dr. Santiago Medina, co-director of the Department of Radiology's Division of Neuroradiology at Miami Children's Hospital.
Of course, there's no simple way to tell whether your headache is a brain tumor, but doctors do have some red flags. Before reading them, there are some important points to remember. First, 50%-60% of all people with brain tumors don't have headaches at all, Barnett says. Second, your headaches could fall into all these red flag categories and you could not have cancer. Third, your headaches could fall into none of these categories and you could still have a brain tumor.
Red flag No. 1: These headaches are new for you
If you don't usually have headaches, or if this is a different type of headache from the ones you usually have, that could be a warning sign, Medina says.
Red flag No. 2: Your headaches are accompanied by other symptoms
Barnett says he rarely sees a brain tumor patient whose only symptom was a headache. Most of the time, the person also has something else, such as nausea, dizziness, or vomiting. Sometimes the signs are even more obvious, such as seizures, difficulty speaking, weakness in the limbs, or problems with peripheral vision.
Red flag No. 3: Your headaches start when you wake up in the morning
Typically, when someone has a brain tumor, the headaches start in the morning often accompanied by nausea and vomiting and get better as the day goes on, Barnett says.
"Headaches that come on as the day wears on and get worse into the evening are typically not associated with brain tumors," he adds. "They're more associated with the stress of daily life."
Red flag No. 4: Your headaches get worse over time
If your headaches get worse over a period of days, weeks, or months, that could be a warning sign, Barnett says.
Red flag No. 5: Something just doesn't seem right
You can have none of these red flags and still have a brain tumor. If your inner voice, or your doctor's inner voice, says something is seriously wrong, listen to it.
"Guidelines are just guidelines," Medina says. "There are cases where the mother says my child doesn't look right, or where the pediatrician says the child doesn't look right, even though I can't put my finger on it, and we do imaging on those kids."
The American Brain Tumor Association and the National Brain Tumor Society have more information on symptoms of a brain tumor.
Cleveland Clinic has specific information about pediatric brain tumors.

Choosing whether you'll use or lose the lectern is a major factor in adding presence to your presentation. In this week's coaching session for Stephanie Benoit, I want to give her enough to consider so she can choose the speaking style and setting that works best for her. Stephanie's just starting as a speaker, so here are some things to consider and know about lecterns, whether you use them or avoid them:
- Lecterns are the slanted stands that prop up your speech and hold the microphone. Some people call this the podium, but a podium is really the platform beneath your feet.
- Lecterns have advantages: They're a natural focal point for the audience. They can hide your notes, a glass of water, your technology controls, a laptop, a picture of your kid...and you, the speaker. They can give you something to hang on to.
- Lecterns have disadvantages: They hide you, the speaker. If you hang on to them too tightly, you're immobilizing your hands, which will make you more likely to stumble verbally--and may tense you up. And they keep you boxed in, so you become a static image to the audience. To gesture, you have to make sure your hands are up high so they can be seen. And because no two lecterns are the same height, it seems, you may find they swallow you up if you're short, or keep your script perilously far from your eyes if you're tall. (Solution for the short speaker: Stand on a box. Solution for the tall speaker: Put a fat book under your speech to raise it up.)
To help Stephanie consider a range of styles, I've pulled some videos from our top women speakers series to illustrate three ways to use or lose lecterns effectively:
Use it...right: Michelle Obama, in this speech at last year's Democratic National Convention, manages to avoid all the disadvantages of using a lectern. Her gestures all can be seen over the top of the lectern, and you should practice to be sure you do the same. She rarely holds on to the lectern, choosing sometimes to gently rest her hands on it. To counteract that boxed-in look, she makes the effort to look at and turn toward different parts of the audience as she tells her story. Finally, she's telling a personal story she had already told in many campaign stops, so it's energetic and flows well.
Lose it but use it: Here's one of my favorite examples of using a lectern without letting it get in your way. This is a public lecture by chemistry professor Carolyn Bertozzi, who (after setting up her slides) quickly moves to one side of the lectern and leans on it, but doesn't hide behind it. It makes her seem much more approachable, and it suits her friendly speaking style--important if you are sharing a technical topic like chemistry with audience of non-technical people. (She has a great analogy using a peanut M&M...watch for it.) Notice the difference between Bertozzi and the man who introduces her. He uses the lectern to hold his notes for the introduction, and you see just his head and shoulders. You get a more complete picture of Bertozzi, and she can move freely during her talk:
Lose it, don't use it: For speakers used to a lectern, losing it entirely may seem scary--or freeing. More and more, this is the style of speaking I prefer, for a variety of reasons:
- It lets me more directly connect with the audience--as a whole, and as individuals. I can walk right up to a group or a person to make eye contact. I'm more able to sense whether I'm losing the audience, and if that's the case, I can move into the crowd to change the situation and recapture its attention.
- Moving around keeps me energized, and that energy translates to my speaking.
- I can use a wider range of motion and gestures to punctuate my talk. My entire body becomes a source of motion and animates the words, as needed.
- It lets me be more responsive in Q&A, when I can walk up to a questioner and respond directly.
Stephanie, this week, I'd like to hear what you think about using lecterns. And if you can get access to a room with a lectern, go ahead and try it out with a few remarks (perhaps practicing your message) then come out in front of it and say the same remarks. What are your questions about speaking while moving, or speaking at a lectern? What do you think about the different styles shown in the video? Which one do you think would work best for you?

Andy Musser, Ultimate Pro
Still numbed by the loss of Joe Paterno, more sad news came today when we learned that friend Andy Musser had also passed away on Sunday.
Andy grew up in the Harrisburg area and was a big Phillies fan as kid, listening to the games on the radio. By Saam was the Phillies No. 1 broadcaster back then. Andy would write to By for advice and always received an answer.
In 1976, By Saam retired and was replaced in the radio booth by Andy Musser. The pupil replaced the professor. Very fitting.
By Saam was the ultimate professional baseball announcer and Andy followed in the same shoes. Neither got too high during good times or too low during the tough times. While Harry and Whitey got all the acclaim on TV, Andy rolled along for 25 years in the radio booth. He knew and accepted his role.
Wherever there was a radio, Andy was there every game every season for 25 years. He unplugged his microphone after the 2001 season.
In the summer of 2008, I wrote a Phillies Magazine story on Andy. I asked him for his five favorite moments behind the Phillies microphone:
**"He buried it. He buried it," was his most famous call. It came on October 4, 1980, when Mike Schmidt hit a game-winning home run in Montreal to clinch the Eastern Division title. "I had never used that expression before. It just came out and I don't think I ever used it again."
**Calling Schmidt's 500th home run in Pittsburgh, April 18, 1987. "That was special to be able to broadcast that. It not only was a historic blast, but a dramatic ninth-inning game-winner."
**Black Friday. "[October 7,] 1977, the night we had a lead against the Dodgers going into the ninth at Veterans Stadium and we lost. It was the most painful loss."
**NLCS Game 5 in Houston (October 12, 1980). "That entire series was a nail-biter. It was so exciting to finally advance to the World Series. Not only was it exciting but draining."
**World Series parade. "What a thrill. To see the happy faces of so many fans lined up Broad Street and then at JFK Stadium. Nothing will ever top that parade, I don't care how many more there will be and I hope there are a lot."

Andy was very good and will be missed. I agree with his favorite "moments". They are some of my favorites too!
Sorry to hear of Andy's passing. By, Andy, Harry and Whitey provided the baseball soundtrack for much of my life. Great broadcasters, all. Wonderful memories. My sympathies to his family and to the Phillies organization.
Nice piece. Andy was a pro and one of the voices of summer for me as a kid as well as Harry and Whitey. Met him in 2010 and he was a classy gentleman. RIP Andy and condolences to his family.
I am extremely saddened by Andy's passing. He was a big part of my childhood and transition into adulthood. My deepest sympathies to the Musser Family. Rest in Peace Andy. Say Hello to Harry and Whitey for me. Save me a seat in the skyboxes. See you soon.

Why should a law library concern itself with a slang dictionary? It's true that the original survey questionnaire, which circulated within 1,000 representative American communities between 1965-1970, doesn't cover much law-related ground (unless you count question P35's descriptions of "illegal methods for shooting deer" – generally at night, and known as "fire-lighting" in South Carolina, "jack-light" in the Northeast, and "headlighting" around Texas, according to the regional response map). But dictionaries of all kinds are an important tool for legal researchers, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas even cited to DARE last year while dissenting from the majority in Smith v. Cain. Surprisingly, the Smith dissent looks to be this dictionary's first appearance in a published federal court opinion, although it has also been cited in trial motions and appellate briefs.
Other dictionaries, of course, are regularly cited in court opinions: DARE's more highbrow cousin The Oxford English Dictionary has been name-checked by courts literally thousands of times, and can be found not far from DARE in the Goodson Law Library, at the call number Ref PE1625 .O87 1989 or in an online version available to the University. The full text of DARE is not yet available online, although the website currently offers 100 entries as well as reel-to-reel audio samples of the 1960s survey respondents.
Whether you need to know the definition of a legal term of art or a confusing piece of slang, be sure to Ask a Librarian for some good starting places.

DR. HOOK- Family circus: Kids need to help when folks fail
"We Are Family, I got all my sisters with me. Get up everybody and sing!"
Go, Sister Sledge! (But where are they now?)
Family is something so powerful, so encompassing, so– ah, complicated. The Partridge Family never had major conflict even though the show started with the death of Mr. Partridge. Wait a minute, even on The Brady Bunch, both Carol and Mike appeared to be widowed. Oh, God! The Courtship of Eddie's Father was based on the death of Eddie's mother. Oh, no! The Andy Griffith Show, My Three Sons, Eight is Enough, Family Affair– all were based on losing a parent and spouse. Jody! Buffy! Cissy!
You know, I never realized all of these favorite shows of mine were based on a beloved family member passing away. They are all comedies, so I never really focused on the fact that the kids were missing a parent. Talk about a Parent Trap! But these shows demonstrate that family members stick together and move on. But do family members really stick together until the end?
I joke that I don't get older, I just get gooder. But the reality is that if I ever get to be elderly, I don't know who is going to take care of me should I fall ill with dementia or cancer. (I definitely don't want Anna Nicole Smith's mother or Britney Spears to take over my care.) I have my advanced directives, power of attorney, etc. already taken care of at my tender age of 40, but who know what lies ahead?
Some of my toughest cases with patient care deal with elderly folk who are estranged— or worse yet, don't acknowledge they are estranged– from immediate family members.
Patient: "Doc, I leave my kids alone, and they respect my privacy as well."
Doctor: "When was the last time you talked to them?"
P: "Childbirth."
D: "Don't you think you should let them know you're in trouble with your health and can't live alone anymore?"
P: "I can take care of myself. Now can you do my groceries for me and get my laundry done? I'm hungry and I smell bad."
Sometimes these types of patients won't even let me call their kids or other immediate family members, so I have to act like Rosanne Barr (i.e. nag, nag, nag) to convince them that I need to speak to family. Unfortunately, some people don't have any immediate family.
In our lovely world of dysfunctional families, I sometimes regret being able to talk to the kids. I once had a demented and dangerous patient who needed to go to a nursing home, and the son did everything but buy his parent an AK-47 and anthrax. He could not accept his parent was ill and did everything possible to ignore medical advice.
I have had quite a few kids of patients act like Lindsay Lohan when I've been on the phone with them.
D: "I'm sorry to tell you that your mother is on a ventilation machine and is not doing well."
Child: "Cool, so things are going well?"
D: "No, things aren't going well. I think you should come here now because things are going poorly."
C: "I'm so glad you're doing everything you can to help Mum. You're awesome."
D: "Ah, do you understand what I am saying? Your mom may not be around much longer."
C: "You can email me on the cruise ship when Mum's better. Isn't it great what modern technology allows us to do?"
Maybe I'll open up a new business, "Rent a Child," for those in need of a healthy thinking (i.e. sane) adult child who can step in when needed. All my employees will be well-versed in The Brady Bunch and The Andy Griffith Show.

I read in Sociology 101 about how aboriginal tribes would go and bury the senior citizens up to a certain level, and if they could manage to get out they could come back and live with the tribe, but if they couldn't manage to get out, they couldn't come back and live with the tribe.

Overview of Hostel
We offer comfortable dorm accommodations by the sea in beautiful, historic Newport, Rhode Island. We are a small, home hostel for budget-minded travelers. Private rooms are available but cannot be booked online. Please contact us for availability.
The guesthouse is located on the 2nd floor in a
Bonanza Bus Lines services Newport. Convenient bus service is available from Boston, Cape Cod, or New York City. Inexpensive local buses are available to and from Providence, Rhode Island. Approximate travel time by car between Newport and New York City is 3 1/2 hours; Newport and Boston is 1 hours; Newport and Cape Cod is 2 hours; Providence and Newport is 1 hour.
Walking directions to 16 Howard Street from Newport Transportation & Visitor Information Center:
The Transportation & Visitor Information Center where you will arrive if coming by bus is on America's Cup Avenue. Keeping the water on your right walk about 1/8 mile to where America's Cup feeds into Memorial Drive. Thames St. will be on the right. Take a right on Thames St. The Red Parrot Restaurant will now be on your left. Continue straight for about 8 blocks along the waterfront to Howard St. (on the left). You will pass a Greek Orthodox Church on the left. See Crazy Dough's Pizza shop on the corner of Howard St. then take a left. 16 Howard is the third house on the left - a large blue house with black shutters. (CAUTION: Do not take a left at the Brown/Howard Wharf sign which you will see on your right as you approach Howard St. If you take a left here you will be on Dennison Street. Howard Street is two blocks after this sign on the left) If driving: Howard is a one-way street going towards the waterfront.
If driving you will need to take the next left after Howard onto Pope, then left on Spring, then left on Howard. 16 Howard is the third house from Thames St. on the right. Pull into our driveway when you arrive. Our driveway is a loading zone. Once we check you in, we will direct you to where free street parking is available a few blocks from the hostel.
By Bus to Newport: Bonanza Bus lines services Newport. From Boston take a bus from Bonanza Bus Lines (Peter Pan or Bonanza) from South Station to either Providence or Newport. If to Providence, then change to a Rhode Island Transit Authority (RIPTA) bus (this is the cheapest way to travel on public transportation between Newport and Boston). From any other location take a bus to Providence then take a Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) bus to Newport. Follow walking directions above.
By car to Newport: From points north 95S, exit 4S (south of Providence), to 138E to Newport. From Cape cod 6W to 195W, to 24S, to 138E to Newport. From points west 95N to 4S (just before Providence), to 138E to Newport.
By Train, then bus to Newport: Take AMTRAK train to Providence. Change to Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) bus for Newport.
By air to Providence: The T.F. Green airport outside of Providence, RI, is the closest airport to Newport. The best way to get to the William Gyles Guesthouse from the airport is by a minivan shuttle service run by Cozy Cab. Cost from airport to Newport is $20 one way. Ask them to drop you off at the William Gyles Guesthouse in Newport. The people from Cozy Cab may want to drop you off at a hotel near the hostel rather than at the hostel. If so, have them drop you off at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Newport. From there you can get to the hostel by catching a local cab ($4) or by walking 15 minutes along the waterfront (beautiful walk!). This scenario could happen because you are taking an airport shuttle which costs $25, not a private taxi, which costs $75. If they drop you off at the hostel when taking the shuttle, thank them profusely because they went out of their way for you and gave you special treatment..

In The Flag Store on Route 209 in Sciota is the Patriotic Room, filled with military flags dating back to the American Revolution.
In The Flag Store on Route 209 in Sciota is the Patriotic Room, filled with military flags dating back to the American Revolution.
In this room is the Wall of Honor, containing photos of uniformed people who served or are serving in the U.S. military.
Some are photos of those who served in World War II.
Among them: Flag Store owner Vena Ackerman's father, U.S. Army Air Corps veteran Gilbert Arnt; father-in-law Earl Ackerman, who won the Purple Heart while serving with the U.S. Army in the Philippines; and B.F. Broome, her uncle who was killed while serving with the Army at the Battle of the Bulge.
A fourth photo is of Vena Ackerman's brother, Kenneth Arnt, now 68, who was a U.S. Air Force mechanic stationed at an air base guarded by U.S. Marines in Vietnam.
Other photos show people not in Ackerman's family, like U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Ronald Trimner, who's stationed in Maryland and whose mother works at The Flag Store, and Daniel Leewright of Kunkletown, serving with the Marines in Afghanistan.
The wall also contains two U.S. flags the store provided the military.
One flag was flown in 2009 during the National Military Academy of Afghanistan's first class graduation ceremony in Kabul, Ackerman said. The other was one of the flags flown later that year over the northern Arabian Sea by the Navy's Strike Fighter Squadron 143, also known as the "Pukin' Dogs."
Both flags were later returned to the store.
"The Wall of Honor is three weeks old," said Ackerman of Sciota, a 40-year Monroe County resident whose husband served with the Marines in Vietnam. "With Flag Day coming up (today), I wanted to do something here to honor those who've served our country in both war and peacetime, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. So, I got my own family pictures together, and asked customers who served or have family members who served if they'd like to contribute pictures."
The Wall of Honor will be unveiled Saturday, the day after Flag Day.
"We're inviting veterans, current military personnel and their families, whether they live in or out of the area, to come and add pictures," Ackerman said. "The pictures can be of any size and can be of people who served as far back as the Civil War. I plan to make more room on the wall to accommodate additional pictures.
"We also invite the public in general to come on Saturday or any day and just reflect in honor of those who've served and are currently serving," she said.
Also invited to Saturday's unveiling are the U.S. Submarine Veterans' Pocono base.
Members plan to bring a model replica of the USS Barb SS 220, a submarine whose crew is credited with sinking 17 enemy vessels, said Ackerman.
In addition, members of the Brodheadsville-based Veterans Assisted Living Out Reach (VALOR) Foundation, which provides health care and shelter to veterans unable to afford either, plan to attend.
Ackerman's other efforts to honor veterans include supporting the creation of a Washington, D.C., memorial remembering Vietnam veterans affected by Agent Orange, a carcinogenic herbicide and defoliant used during the war. The store has made 500 small black flags with orange lettering to place at the memorial.
"We have so many unsung heroes who don't seek praise, but deserve it for their service to our country," said Ackerman, who was attending high school in Pottstown when her brother was in Vietnam in 1967. "I'm thankful every day for what they've done."

A Cure For Your Skin
Acure Organics' tag line is "Acure for your skin. Acure for the planet." And, seeing as how their products are all organic and made with their trademarked "Skin Immune Technology", I believe it. I first discovered this line of skincare wonders a while back and have slowly made my way through a good number of their products. There's the gel cleanser which cleans leaves my face refreshed and renewed and the firming body lotion which keeps my skin feeling young and healthy, but my favorite of the bunch is definitely the Brightening Facial Scrub:
This exfoliating cleanser has the perfect texture for sloughing away those dead cells without being too rough. Plus, it's green from all the chlorella (fun!) and it smells delicious too. I like this company for their earth, people, and animal-friendly practices, and the fact that they make really effective and wonderful products is just the icing on the cake. Oh, and they are all very reasonably priced too! This one, for example, was $14 at the store. Not bad for all the goodness it contains and how long it lasts. Give Acure a try, and cure yourself of boring skincare!

Readings/ Workshops (West) assistant director Jamie FitzGerald describes a visit to the P&W–supported EngAGE senior writing workshop taught by Hannah R. Menkin. Menkin is an educator, poet, and visual artist, who uses an integrative approach to help adults, older adults, and veterans discover their own voice through oral history, memoir, storytelling, and the creative/expressive arts.
On November 7, 2012, the morning after Barack Obama was elected for his second term as President, my co-worker Andrew Wessels and I made the hour-long drive across the sprawl of Los Angeles, from the Westside to the Burbank Senior Artists Colony, where we met with a group of "confident," "relieved," "peaceful," "hopeful" seniors (words they chose to describe how they were feeling that morning).
We were welcomed by poetry workshop facilitator Hannah Menkin, whose work with seniors and veterans P&W has supported since 2009. The poetry workshop at the Burbank Senior Artists Colony is facilitated by EngAGE, a nonprofit organization that fosters the arts, wellness, and lifelong learning for seniors in Southern California. The group in session that morning was holding a special Poetry & Tea celebration. They were delighted to have representatives from P&W visiting them, and the all-female group referred to Andrew humorously as "the rose amongst the thorns."
Participants spoke about why the writing workshop was valuable to them and shared a few poems. Kit Harper, who writes every day, had this to say: "I love this group. They're like my sisters. We're all here to dig deep." And dig deep they do. Menkin acknowledged that as we age, we experience more losses. In her workshop, it's understood members can freely address loss, and anything else, together in a safe, uncritical environment.
The group has enjoyed each other's company for more than a year, and the bonds they have formed show in their easiness with one another. Dolly Brittan, originally from South Africa, attested to this: "We've all developed trust amongst each other. It's a safe place. Poetry has really helped me to cope with my life."
The most senior member, 90-year-old Karolyn Merson, said of the workshop: "I came here and just blossomed out. It ignited my life." Later, Merson passed around her chapbook full of astute and often humorous haiku, as well as a booklet of collaged found poems culled from the pages of the Los Angeles Times.
Menkin's teaching style encourages self-expression without criticism. She has told her group to banish the inner critic and trust in the "true voice," which needs no revision. Still, the seniors in her workshop spoke of craft and working on poems at home in their spare time. Subtly, Menkin manages to pass on the message of daily work, craft, and revision that is foundational for any serious writer.
Menkin also recites contemporary poetry to her group. The day's selection included an ars poetica by William Stafford and a poem by the ever-popular Billy Collins. She has her students writing from prompts—found poems, acrostic poetry, sensory-based poems, and so on. But the mechanics of poetry are secondary to the sisterhood that has formed in the group. The love these women have for poetry is humbling and the tranformations it has clearly wrought in them renews one's faith in the act of writing things down.

FDP On Evolutionary and Nature Inspired Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Engg. Applications 13 – 17 Apr, 2018.
To provide a platform for the academicians and industrial communities with a view to explore the soft computing methodologies for engineering applications. Soft Computing Techniques have been recognized as attractive alternate to standard hard computing paradigms. Traditional hard computing methods require a precisely stated analytical model and often a lot of computational time. Soft computing techniques which emphasize gains in understanding behavior in exchange for unnecessary precision have proved to be important tools for many contemporary problems. In recent years, Evolutionary optimization algorithms play a vital role in solving real time optimization problems in various fields which includes more number of objectives and constraints.

You've always wanted to drive a horrible rattletrap of a cheap-ass car from New York City to New Orleans during the summer heat, yes? Of course! Well, now you can take that trip in the company of many like-minded rallyers!
We encountered the
freaks rally aficionados of the Big Apple To Big Easy Rally at the LeMons-Versus-BABE Drag Race Nationals last summer, and it appears that everyone involved enjoyed the hell out of driving their sub-500-buck heaps 1,100 miles while squawking incomprehensible 10-codes at one another on their Sparkomatic 23-channel CBs. You want to be a part of it? The deadline is Friday, April 30th!

Choose your challenge
There are marathons in cities, in the desert, on the beach and along the Great Wall of China. Which route from tears to triumph suits you best?
What is a marathon? Running, sweating, gasping for breath, putting one foot in front of the other until you no longer register the individual steps. Hour after hour. On dirt, sand, asphalt. Plagued by blisters, cramps and aching muscles. But a marathon is also bliss, ecstasy, an endorphin high. If you have ever felt the rush of finishing a marathon, you will want to do it over and over again. As the great Czech Olympian Emil Zátopek famously put it: "If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon."
Running marathons is the latest trend. Professionals and amateurs fly all over the world just to pound through the rain forests of Rotorua, across the Himalayan mountains and through the urban canyons of New York, where last year runners from 124 nations took part in the city's marathon, while 57 percent of the participants of the Berlin Marathon came from outside Germany. The kick? Combining sports and travel and getting to know other cultures not by admiring them from the window of a taxicab but by actually running into them and meeting them in person.
So pack a pair of running shoes, a drinking bottle and off you go! We've put together a selection of marathons where taking part definitely counts more than winning.
The most historic
It all began with the messenger Pheidippides. In 490 BCE, he ran without stopping from the village of Marathon to Athens to proclaim the Greek victory over the Persians, unfortunately dropping dead of exhaustion the moment he arrived. The first official marathon took place in his honor at the first modern Olympics in 1896. Every year in November, the Athens Marathon follows Pheidippide's route, passing a memorial to the fallen Athenians of yore and ending at Panathinaiko Stadium. As you pass the finish line, it's like reliving a legend.
The quirkiest
London set a benchmark at the Olympic Games in 1908 when it fixed the marathon distance at 42.195 kilometers (26 miles and 385 yards). Why? Until then, the official distance of a marathon was 25 miles, which wasn't enough to get the runners from the start at Windsor Castle to the finish line in front of the royal box in the stadium. The organizers simply added an extra mile and 385 yards. The London Marathon has been taking place every April since 1981 and runners traditionally compete in colorful costumes. The route goes from Greenwich across Tower Bridge, through the Docklands and London's East End and then passes Buckingham Palace, where the waving monarch motivates you for that final spurt across the finish line.
The steepest
Instead of running through the streets, this particular route takes you high up into the nighttime sky. The Eiffel Tower Vertical takes place every March, a couple of weeks before the annual Paris Marathon. As the name suggests, it is actually a climb up the outside stairs of the Eiffel Tower, ending a heady 279 meters above the glittering metropolis. Pounding up the 1665 steps is just as strenuous as running a long-distance race. It is an exclusive affair, however, as the race is limited to 128 participants to prevent runners from getting in each others' way. The record to date is 7 minutes and 48 seconds – a true challenge.
The most popular
Everything in the USA is big, especially the sports events. Measured by the number of participants, the New York City Marathon, which takes place in November, is the biggest marathon in the world. Only 127 runners signed up for the first one back in 1970, but today, around 50 000 people regularly take part, among them celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, P. Diddy, Ryan Reynolds and Alicia Keys. Due to its popularity, the race is very hard to get into, and is decided by a draw. Your best bet is to book the entire package from a licensed operator, including flight and hotel. On the morning of the race, half the city is blocked off. The athletes convene in Manhattan and are taken by bus to Staten Island, where the starting shot is fired. Runners cross the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Brooklyn and Queens, and then the Madison Avenue Bridge to Harlem before proceeding down Museum Mile to Central Park. Shortly before finishing, the course takes you once around Columbus Circle. A true super-size city marathon.
The toughest
Sun, sand and very little else: The Sahara Marathon is regarded as one of the world's most grueling long-distance races. Taking place in the first third of each year, it attracts hundreds of extreme athletes into the desert. The race starts in Al Ayoun and proceeds in the blistering heat of the Western Sahara to Auserd, finishing in Smara. Hotels are few and far between, so runners spend the night in tents with the Saharawi nomads. But don't worry: The course is well marked and there is a water station every three kilometers. If you're up for an even bigger challenge, you can take part in the Marathon des Sables, an ultra-race in the Moroccan Sahara. It has six separate stages, and participants are expected to run 20 to 40 kilometers a day. The route is 250 kilometers long. What about food? You have to carry it with you. We're not kidding.
The most scenic
A run along the beaches of Rio de Janeiro: The statue of Christ the Redeemer welcomes marathon runners with open arms, when the Maratona Caixa takes place in the Brazilian metropolis in June. The race begins at 7 a.m., when temperatures are still a balmy 20° C. The route starts in Recreio and ends in Flamengo, passing through Barra da Tijuca, San Conrado, Ipanema and Copacabana, where the locals worship the cult of the body. A fresh breeze always wafts in off the ocean and the route is relatively flat, with a difference in elevation of just 20 meters. As you run, you'll find that the samba rhythms of local street bands, who mark the beat with surdos, timbas and tamborims, will make your feet practically fly across the asphalt.
The most remote
Fancy kicking up your heels at a World Heritage Site? Marathon runners in China do it all the time, as the Great Wall Marathon goes along the top of the world's biggest fortification. Work on the Great Wall of China was begun in the 3rd century BCE to protect the Chinese Empire from nomadic tribes in the north. These days, thousands of marathon runners advance upon the wall every May after traversing the broad valleys and picturesque hills of Tianjin province, tackling a difference in elevation of 300 meters and climbing 5164 steps – in temperatures hovering around 30° C. It's hardly a surprise that this marathon is regarded as one of the most challenging worldwide. The current record, held by three athletes who crossed the line simultaneously in 2013, is 3:09:18 hours. But even amateurs with strong leg muscles stand a chance of completing this marathon.

As the year draws to a close, you might be preparing for holiday parties, but you may also be casting an eye forward to the dreaded April 15 deadline that, like death, comes for all of us. If you're nervous about how much you might owe Uncle Sam this time around, have you considered squeaking in some last-minute energy-efficient upgrades that may qualify you for a rebate or credit? If you're not quite ready to take the plunge this December, remember that many of these options will also be available next year, saving you money in 2015. (I know, it seems too early to think about 2015 taxes, but not if you're an accountant!)
As always, before you spend money on energy efficiency upgrades, make sure you know what you're getting. Talk with your contractor about what is being installed, how much energy you will save, what the options are, and how to use your new energy-efficient products most effectively. If you're performing an installation with energy tax credits in particular in mind, consult your contractor in detail to make sure everything you're doing qualifies for a credit.
Some firms specialize in these kinds of upgrades and they're very familiar with all the available credits, incentive programs, and other money-saving options. They can help you make the most money out of your decision to upgrade and they'll assist with filing documentation paperwork, claims, and other materials. You should also check with your accountant to see if there's anything special you need to consider while working for energy upgrades, as sometimes the tax code can be quite tricky for us mere mortals.
Up to $500 in tax credits
You can claim up to $500 in tax credits under the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit. The credit applies to anything you do to improve efficiency, including trading out old appliances, installing more efficient windows, and other measures. (More details here.)
If you're a contractor, take advantage of the New Home Builder's Tax Credit of up to $2,000 on efficient new construction. And if you're working with a green contracting firm to build your dream home, talk to them about this and other tax credits available for new construction!
The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit will help you pay for the installation of solar and wind energy products at your home. It covers up to 30 percent of the cost of qualified products, and if you aren't sure about what qualifies, check with your electrician to get more information.
You may also qualify for local rebates and incentive programs. You can use this state-by-state search to locate programs in your area and get information about what kinds of energy upgrades will be eligible.
These programs offset the initial cost of increasing the efficiency of your home and they create an added incentive to upgrade outdated equipment, energy generation systems, and more. That's a pretty good reason to ring in the new year with some solar panels, a geothermal pump, or just a new set of double-paned windows.
While you're saving energy, consider connecting with your plumber on options for saving water. Water conservation is important for your community and it'll cut down on the bills from the utility company, too.

Meet Our Students: Victoria Villalpando
We're kicking off a new monthly series to help you get to know the students of NLU, the places they've come from and the things they've experienced on the journey toward their degree.
Junior from Tinley Park, IL
Pursuing B.A. in Human Services
What brought you to NLU?
Prior to attending NLU, I went to a local community college. I was very uncertain of what university I wished to attend and what career I wanted to pursue; however, I heard about the Harrison Fellowship on the radio and I applied.
What are you currently studying?
My current course of study is human services. This particular major is community oriented and it focuses on psychological and environmental stressors. Essentially, the material we learned can be applied to any field
Are you involved in any school clubs or off-campus activities in your community?
I currently work as an administrative assistant for the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute. This is a nonprofit organization that promotes education, leadership development, civic engagement and empowerment to Latinos and similarly disenfranchised groups. I feel that serving my community in this matter is the most efficient way to achieve change.
How have you grown in your time here?
While at NLU, I have grown as a student and as a professional. More importantly, the Latino outreach center has offered me networking opportunities that I would have not had otherwise. For instance, the staff is knowledgeable of Latino organizations and events. Consequently, they encourage us to attend various conferences, participate in workshops and meet mentors.
What do you hope to do after college and how is NLU preparing you for that?
After college, I hope to further my education by completing a master's degree program. I also aspire to someday run for office. Similarly, NLU has prepared me for these aspirations because my course of study has taught me the value of community.
What have you liked most about your experience at NLU so far?
My experience at NLU has been very rewarding; however, I especially appreciate the fact that we are on the quarters system. This schedule has provided the flexibility I need as a working college student.

CRESTVIEW � A local assisted living home�s residents needn�t worry about bathing facilities and toilets.
CRESTVIEW � A local assisted living home�s residents needn�t worry about bathing facilities and toilets.
Today, Mike Duffer, president and owner of the Nashville-based Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co., surprised Crestview Manor's 60 residents with two free walk-in hydrotherapy tubs and the promise of 3,000 toilet paper rolls a year.
The tubs are being installed Saturday � one on each floor � and the toilet paper will keep rolling as long as Safe Step and Crestview Manor remain in business, Duffer said.
He became aware of the low-income residents' needs with an email from Crestview resident Shirley Perring, who � with coworkers at the Jackson Hewitt tax preparation office � supports Crestview Manor as a community service project.
Their involvement began around Easter when they offered to help Emerald Coast Hospice deliver "Baskets of Blessings" to the assisted living facility's residents.
Later, while home recuperating from back surgery, Perring contacted tub and toilet paper manufacturers.
"The tub is dangerous and looks like something out of �One Flew Over the Cuckoo�s Nest,�" Perring wrote in an email, referring to the film about patients in a decrepit mental facility.
"I wrote an email and the rest is history," she said. "Never in a million years did I think I would get it."
Safe Step Cares, the company's nationwide philanthropy program, has received "hundreds of requests" for donations, Derek Farley, president of Safe Step's public relations agency, said.
"The tub request we�re used to," he stated in an email. "The toilet paper request took us by surprise for very good reason: we don�t make toilet paper."
Though Safe Step wouldn't provide a value for the donated tubs, the units, which include custom installation, reportedly range between $10,000 and $15,000.
The toilet paper is estimated to cost Safe Step around $1,500 a year, Farley said.
�We�re a very blessed company and it�s a pleasure and a privilege to be able to make these life-changing donations,� Duffer said. �We are thrilled to bring comfort, independence, safety and convenience to Crestview Manor.�
�This is truly a miracle donation,� Crestview Manor director Becky Brice-Nash said. �It was a donation of a lifetime for some very special people, and beyond our wildest dreams.�
In addition to presenting the tubs and toilet paper, Safe Step treated residents to gift bags of toiletries and a catered lunch from Hub City Barbecue.
"It's mindboggling that this could happen and get this big," Perring said. "This all started with our little Crestview office doing Baskets of Blessings (in April). Unbelievable!"

I am a Seattle-based UX designer and front-end developer in constant search of the perfect way to build clean and functional web sites. Here are a few thoughts I take very seriously:
Intelligent content organization, honest understanding of site's user base and attention to best UX practices are key to achieving effective online communication. To quote a real usability expert Stephen Krug - just don't make them think.
Good photography matters. Online users ignore decorative images and disregard generic stock photos. "Invest in good photo shoots: a great photographer can add a fortune to your website's business value," says web page usability guru Jakob Nielson.
Thank you for taking the time to peek at my work. If needed, feel free to download my resume (doc version) .

The latest installment in Apple's arsenal of celebrity Siri promos is here, featuring a very peppy Martin Scorsese headed downtown in a yellow NYC taxi. Marty makes the most of his time alone with his virtual assistant, switching around appointments and consulting her for the downtown traffic report.
Most notably, Scorsese and Siri together show off the Find My Friends app—the first time such a feature has been demonstrated in an Apple commercial.
The clip ends with Scorsese tellling Siri how much he likes her and that she's "going places." Quite an endorsement—if that's really how he feels. [MacRumors via 9to5Mac]
