Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) among children in China are a growing public health concern. Two new studies by researchers of the International Program at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Wuhan Children's Hospital in China examined pediatric TBIs that were treated at Wuhan Children's Hospital from 2002 to 2011.
The first study, appearing in the December 2012 print issue of PLOS ONE, investigated the causes, characteristics and trends of pediatric TBIs in China and found that falls, struck by/against objects and traffic collisions were the top external causes of TBI. The study also found that approximately six percent of all TBIs among children under two years of age were caused by suspected child abuse. This is the first study to highlight the important role of suspected child abuse in causing TBIs among infants in China and has led to the second study appearing in the November 2012 issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, which examined abuse-related TBIs among children in China. These two publications are not only the first steps in understanding the causes of traumatic brain injury among children in China but a way to highlight the success of global collaborations in injury research.
Since its inception in 2004, the International Program at the Center for Injury Research and Policy has established several international collaborations, including the one with Wuhan Children's Hospital, and has worked to decrease the burden of injury morbidity and mortality worldwide. "The successful collaboration with Wuhan Children's Hospital is a testament to their leaders' dedication and commitment to promoting academic excellence and innovation in clinical care," said Huiyun Xiang, MD, MPH, PhD and Director for International Programs at the Center for Injury Research and Policy. "Globalization brings many challenges, as well as great opportunities, and we are excited about our collaboration with Wuhan Children's Hospital," said Dr. Xiang, also an Associate Professor of the Division of Epidemiology at The Ohio State University College of Public Health.
"In the past five years, a total of seven physicians from Wuhan Children's Hospital received clinical training at Nationwide Children's Hospital. These physicians have become a driving force for innovative care and academic excellence at Wuhan Children's Hospital," said Jianbo Shao, MD, Vice-President for Research and Training at Wuhan Children's Hospital. "We cherish the relationship with Nationwide Children's Hospital and look forward to more collaboration in scientific research and clinical training between the two organizations."

Product Type: Serigraph
|Artist: Lea Avizedek
|Dimensions: 14.5 Inch X 22 Inch
|Brief Description:
|Edition: 300
|More details:
|Lea Avizedek was born in Jerusalem and is a descendant of an orthodox family firmly rooted in Israel during 5 generations. She received her formal art training at several institutions including the acclaimed Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem and the School of Drawing in Tel Aviv. Her talent was recognized at an early age. The simple sketches that she drew were compared to the works of Post-Impressionist Toulouse-Lautrec, with their simplicity of few lines and bold and colorful silhouettes. The central theme of Avizedeks work is the female form. Her women appear in either a solitary pose of tranquility and reflection or in the social interaction of a group. Varying combinations of chalk or pencil, acrylic or watercolor are applied loosely, and are finally painted or stenciled. A combination of bold, heavy smears with light sketches then create a dense and multi-textured surface.

Former Baltimore City Circuit Judge Basil A. Thomas, whose legal career spanned more than seven decades, died Friday of congestive heart failure at the Blakehurst Retirement Community in Towson. He was 98.
"He's my guy. Basil lived a long and full life that was very productive, and you can't ask for any more than that," said retired Chief Judge Robert M. Bell of the Maryland Court of Appeals. "He was a very interesting man and the consummate professional. For him, the rule of law was paramount. He believed it."
"I tried a few cases in front of Basil, and he was a real gentleman and a very polite person. He was the kind of person you wanted to be a judge," said J. Joseph Curran Jr., former Maryland attorney general. "He always respected the role of lawyers arguing their position."
"Until his death, he was the oldest living judge in Maryland. We're talking about a legal career that spanned 78 years," said Byron L. Warnken, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and an attorney who specializes in appellate cases.
The son of a businessman and a homemaker, Basil Anargyros Thomas was born in the Peloponnese, Greece, and immigrated with his parents in 1915 to Portsmouth, Va.
He was raised in Portsmouth and Newport News, Va., and graduated in 1931 from Woodrow Wilson High School.
He attended the evening division of the College of William & Mary in Norfolk, Va., for a year before moving to Baltimore. He enrolled at the University of Baltimore School of Law, from which he graduated in 1935 at age 20. He was admitted to the Maryland Bar later that year.
Judge Thomas practiced law in Baltimore until the outbreak of World War II, when he enlisted in the Army and served with the Counter Intelligence Corps in Hawaii. While serving with the corps, he received a field commission in military intelligence.
Discharged in 1946, Judge Thomas returned to Baltimore and resumed his legal career, and in the late 1940s established the law firm of Thomas & Peters.
In 1948, he went to work as an administrative assistant to Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., and then was appointed an assistant city solicitor and later a member of the city's Elections Board.
He resigned that position in 1952 when he ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for the then-newly established 7th Congressional District.
After finishing second in a field of seven candidates, Judge Thomas returned to his law firm, where he continued practicing until 1961, when he was appointed to the old Municipal Court by Gov. J. Millard Tawes.
He won re-election to the court in 1964, and four years later was appointed by Gov. Spiro T. Agnew to the city's Supreme Bench. In 1970, Judge Thomas was elected to serve a full 15-year term to the court, whose name was changed in 1983 to the present Baltimore City Circuit Court.
"Basil always had complete control of his courtroom and wanted to see how issues played out, and he took great pains to arrive at a reasonable decision," said Judge Bell. "He allowed the lawyers to try the case, and he did not interpose himself. He was a lawyer's judge."
Judge Bell said that Judge Thomas was always "engaged."
"Whenever you got in a conversation with him, he was in it but never tried to dominate it. He'd make his point of view known and listen to yours," said Judge Bell.
"He had a very quiet but firm demeanor," said Mr. Warnken, who clerked for Judge Thomas from 1975 to 1977.
"He was a brilliant lawyer, and when we got back to chambers, he'd use the case as an educational experience, and for 21/2 years, I had exposure to one of the greatest legal minds of the day. He was very bright but always maintained a low profile."
Judge Thomas stepped down from the bench in 1983.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," he told The Baltimore Sun at the time. "I feel honored to have had the opportunity to serve, really."
After retiring from the bench, Judge Thomas went to work as counsel to the law firm of Thomas & Libowitz, which had been co-founded by his son, Steven A. Thomas, in 1975.
Judge Thomas relinquished the position in 1993 and was elected to the board of directors of Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. in Hunt Valley.
Judge Thomas began his association with Sinclair in 1986 when it was the target of a takeover and he was brought onboard as an adviser.
"The judge was in the middle, and he made sure we did everything that we needed to do from all perspectives, including the regulatory perspective," said Sinclair CEO David Smith. "He was incredibly valuable to the company and had been our guide, teacher and main man."
He had served as chairman of the board's compensation committee and resigned from the board the day before his death.
Judge Thomas, who had lived in the 5600 block of N. Charles St. for years, was a resident of Blakehurst for more than a decade.
He had been a member of the Baltimore City, Maryland and American bar associations.
He had served as a director of the Educational Foundation of the University of Baltimore and later served as its chairman, and also as chairman of the university's board of trustees. In his honor, the university's international law library bears his name.
Judge Thomas was a former president of the Hillendale Country Club and had been president of the Baltimore Host Chapter of Lions International and the Worthington Chapter of AHEPA.
He was also a longtime member of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation.
"His mind was still 100 percent; it was his body that gave out," said his son, who lives in Lutherville.
His wife of 37 years, the former Helen Pappas, died in 1978.
Services are private.
In addition to his son, Judge Thomas is survived by his wife of 32 years, the former Anastasia Ernestine Karukas; a brother, James A. Thomas of Arlington, Va.; two stepdaughters, Katina Kane of Lutherville and Joanne Miller of New Freedom, Pa.; and eight grandchildren.

Home School Court Report
Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse is sexual interaction with or exploitation of a child by an adult, or by another child when there is a difference in power or age. The abuse can include actual physical contact, or behaviors that involve the child without physical contact (such as inappropriately viewing a child who is undressing or exposing a child to pornography).
Sexual abuse is especially challenging to identify and prevent; it almost always occurs in secret and happens more often than we would like to believe. However, many helpful resources are available to equip parents and other adults to protect children.
Preventing sexual abuse
As homeschooling parents, we know that educating our children well is a key to their success in life. We won't always be able to keep them close by, so from their earliest years we begin teaching them how to function independently from us.
Sexuality is no exception. Proactively providing children with age-appropriate information accomplishes two things: it helps them sense when they are in a sexually inappropriate situation, and it helps them feel comfortable talking with you about any confusing or harmful situations they may experience. Educating your children in this area falls into three categories.
The birds and the bees: Give your children age-appropriate information about sex. Even the youngest children can learn the names of body parts and that it's not okay for other people to touch the parts of their bodies that would be covered by a bathing suit (except for medical professionals, etc.). Without this basic information, a child may be unable to recognize or disclose abuse.
With each stage of maturity, there is a natural progression in the type of sexual information that is important for children to learn. For parents teaching what can be an awkward subject, it helps to remember that you are the ideal person to be providing this guidance. Children receive many confusing messages about sexuality from the media, church, and other children. They look to their parents to help them make sense of this information.
Stranger danger—and friendly foes: Children need to know about "stranger danger"—they should never go anywhere with a stranger or be alone with someone they don't know. But they also need to know how to respond if someone they trust begins acting inappropriately toward them: say no, leave the situation, and get help from a safe adult.
Parents, please understand that sexual abuse can happen in your family, church, or community. Most sexual abuse is perpetrated by someone the victim knows. This could be a parent, sibling, relative, friend, neighbor, or church member. Know the risks and be discerning about whom you allow to supervise or be alone with your child. Maintain open, caring communication with your child, and be aware of the warning signs of possible abuse.
Healthy relationships, healthy boundaries: Your children absorb their most basic understanding of love, relationships, and sexuality from the way you and your spouse interact with each other and with them. If your children see their parents treating each other with deep respect and love, they will have a stronger understanding of how to relate with others. Talk with your children about relationships. Keep the lines of communication open so they feel comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance for their own lives.
You can also model and teach healthy boundaries, strengthening your child's ability to understand his or her own emotions and needs and to say no when someone violates his or her limits. (For example, some families do not require their children to show physical affection to adults outside the immediate family if they feel uncomfortable doing so.)
How you discipline your children can impact their boundary development. Some discipline methods—such as those that demand instant, total obedience or rely on excessive punishment—hinder the development of good boundaries, instead training children to automatically do whatever they are told even if it harms them. For discipline advice that supports healthy boundaries, see our Additional Resources.
Responding to abuse
Sexual abuse is a crime that gravely harms its victims. If you believe your own or someone else's child is being sexually abused, please notify the police.
Sometimes children tell someone that they are being abused. Or they may disclose abuse unintentionally—such as in a conversation about something else—and may not know that what they are experiencing is abuse. You may suspect abuse even if the child has not disclosed anything. (For a list of abuse indicators, see these warning signs of possible child sexual abuse.)
In any case, it is important to remain calm, respond with compassion, and take action on the child's behalf.
If a child has disclosed abuse to you, reassure the child that the abuse is not his or her fault and that it was okay to tell you about it. You can find out more by asking simple questions ("Who did this to you?" "What did they do?") However, remember that children can be easily confused by complex or leading questions. Simple do's and don'ts for talking with a child about possible abuse are available here and here.
If the abuser is another child, or if two children are interacting sexually and you are concerned the situation may be abusive, you can find relevant answers on this webpage: "Can child sexual abuse also involve a child sexually abusing another child?" If you have observed an adult interacting with a child in a way that could be inappropriate, you may wish to speak directly with the adult. "Worried about an Adult's Behavior" provides guidelines for this approach.
For these and many other situations, you can find answers in our Additional Resources or by contacting Stop It Now! at stopitnow.org or 1-888-PREVENT.
Preventing and responding to child abuse can feel overwhelming. However, there is no one more qualified than you, a concerned adult, to help safeguard and guide the children in your life. You can teach and model healthy relational behavior, and you can help if a child has been victimized. Thank you for your courage and concern.

1. What is a General Plan?
A general plan defines a park's primary purpose, land use opportunities, and establishes a management direction for the future. By providing a clear purpose and vision, long and short-term goals can be developed which provide a management framework which guides day-to-day decision making and serves as the basis for developing programs. A general plan is required by law prior to any substantial development of facilities.
2. What is a General Plan Revision?
When a park has an existing general plan which requires changes, there are two major ways to incorporate those changes. An amendment may be used to incorporate changes into an existing document, or, when the changes are more extensive, a general plan revision is used. An amendment is an addition to an existing document while a revision completely replaces the old document. The revision will follow the same process and format as would a new general plan.
3. What is an EIR?
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies to analyze all "reasonably foreseeable significant environmental effects" of approving a project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15152). This analysis is contained in a document called an environmental impact report (EIR).
An EIR looks at the current surrounding environment factors, including plants, animals, soils, air, water, noise, traffic and other projects occurring nearby. The EIR analyzes how these factors might be impacted by the proposed development or policies, then provides alternatives and mitigation measures.
The EIR prepared for this General Plan is considered a program EIR. This type of document addresses a broad range of possible land use opportunities and future long-range management, but may not analyze specific projects which could require additional environmental review when the projects are proposed for implementation.
4. When and how will my input be used?
Input from visitors, neighbors, agencies, and other stakeholders will be used to create a detailed General Plan that guides future development and management of Carnegie SVRA. As shown in the project schedule, State Parks will be seeking input from stakeholders throughout the process.
5. What was the source of the funding for the Alameda-Tesla properties purchase?
The Alameda-Tesla properties were purchased by the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) Division of California State Parks during the time period from May 1996 to April 1998. The property acquisitions were accomplished entirely with funding from California's Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trust Fund. The OHV Trust Fund during that time period was supported exclusively from fees and taxes associated with OHV recreation. No funding from the state's general fund was used to acquire the properties.
The three primary funding sources of the OHV Trust Fund during the time period from May 1996 – April 1998 were:
# 1. Entrance fees generated at State Vehicular Recreation Areas (SVRAs),
# 2. OHV Registration fees, and
# 3. Fuel taxes from gasoline consumed during OHV recreation on public lands.
6. When the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area is managed as part of the Carnegie SVRA, will OHV recreation occur everywhere?
No. Some parts of the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area contain sensitive cultural and natural resources. OHV recreation and other types of suggested uses would be planned to occur outside these sensitive areas.
7. Is the OHVMR Division of State Parks planning on allowing open riding areas on the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area?
The general planning process will consider many kinds of OHV recreation options (i.e. open riding, trail riding only, one way single track trails, 4WD touring routes, rotating hill-climbs, motocross tracks, multi-use trails, etc.). Goals and guidelines will be developed as part of a deliberate and transparent public planning effort which will indicate what types of uses will be appropriate based on the natural and cultural resources. OHMVR Division specific resource conservation mandates, as well as other state and federal natural and cultural resource protective measures will be complied with in the management of these areas.
8. Why does the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area need to be operated as part of Carnegie SVRA? Why can't it be donated or transferred to a local park district for operation?
The Alameda-Tesla acquisition area is owned by the OHMVR Division of California State Parks and was purchased with 100% funding from the OHV Trust Fund. The acquisition area was purchased in accordance with the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Act that requires, in part:
Existing off-highway motor vehicle recreational areas, facilities, and opportunities should be expanded and managed in a manner consistent with this chapter, in particular to maintain sustained long-term use. (Public Resource Code 5090.02©(1))
Management of the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area will be guided by the General Plan/EIR process and provide for protection of the area's sensitive natural and cultural resources, while providing for recreational opportunities. This reflects the dual natured mission of the OHMVR Division.
9. Will the General Plan include the existing SVRA and the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area or just the acquisition area?
The General Plan will guide management and operation of the existing SVRA and the Alameda-Tesla acquisition area.
10. The "Notice of Preparation" (NOP) scoping period has concluded. Am I still able to submit comments on the General Plan?
Yes. The NOP, which is a requirement of any Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has a state-mandated 30-day review period (also referred to as the scoping period), which was administratively extended until July 11, 2012. Posting of the NOP allows State Parks to mark the beginning of the CEQA review process and establish the baseline against which impacts of the General Plan will be evaluated in the EIR.
We are still accepting comments on the General Plan through this website. We are asking for more targeted input on the concept alternatives and hope you can make it to the public workshop on June 10, 2013.
11. Why aren't you holding a meeting in Alameda County?
The planning area is located in both San Joaquin and Alameda counties and the General Plan will address the future uses and management of both the existing SVRA and the acquisition area. The first workshop was held on May 21, 2012, in Livermore (Alameda County). The second workshop is scheduled for June 10th, 2013 in Tracy (San Joaquin County). The third workshop is tentatively scheduled again for Alameda County.
The June 2013 workshop will be an open house format and held over 2.5 hours to allow people to attend when they are available. While the workshop provides an in-person opportunity to interact with the planning team and staff, the same information and opportunities to comment will be present on the website for more than a month following the workshop. We will accept written comments at the workshop, online, via email, or by mail.
The concepts we are presenting at the June 2013 workshop are not EIR alternatives, as required by CEQA. We are presenting several broad land use and management concepts that consider both resources and recreation opportunities. These will be used to refine one "preferred concept" that will ultimately be used to create the General Plan.
The planning team will present the draft preferred concept at the third workshop, which will be held in Alameda County. Comments and ideas will still be accepted on this concept before it is used in the General Plan.

Byproducts, inadequate meat content, mixed quality grain, controversial filler
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product. This is not a meat meal, but is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. As ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is thus unlikely that this is truely the first ingredient in the food, but would be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list as a minor ingredient in the food.
The second ingredient is byproducts. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of Chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
The main grains in the food are brewers rice, corn, sorghum and barley. Brewers rice is a low quality grain and byproduct, whilst corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value and that is commonly associated with allergy problems. Sorghum and barley are decent quality, but this product is very heavy in grain content with little meat included for the canine.
Beet pulp is a controversial filler. 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.

Looking for the Adams Families from Armagh County in Northern Ireland
My Ancestor William Adams Married Jane Adams nee Adams in Armagh County Northern Ireland -yes that's right an Adams marrying an Adams.
Their son William was born in 1838 in Armagh County & at the age of 20 emigrated to Australia where he met & married Sarah Slingo in 1860.They had 8 children together.Unfortunately William died early at the age of 40 in 1878 from a condition he had suffered from for 3 yrs.He left Sarah a Widow @ 37yrs with 8 children ranging from 3 to 16yrs of age.
Did William & Jane have other children besides William who perhaps did not emigrate or did other members of the family emigrate also? This I do not know.
Were William & Jane farmers?
Was Armagh their closest town /village?
Where were they buried ?
Are their headstones intact in a local cemetery?
Are there other descendents still living in Armagh County ?

Investing in the future is just as important as today's business. Therefore HZPC has chosen an organizational structure that ensures both the known operations as well as promising projects get the attention they deserve.
Strategic Business Area Europe
Within HZPC there are two main business units, covered by HZPC Holding. The first, Strategic Business Area Europe, include all business activities within Europe and from Europe to other countries. The business unit aims to further expand the seed potato sales by increasing market share in different countries.
Strategic Business Development Areas
The second business unit, Strategic Business Development Areas, focuses on scaling up promising projects, such as business developments in areas outside Europe or the marketing of ideas and products. This business unit is a breeding ground for selected projects that require a lot of management attention to achieve their potential. Once these projects are developed and run well, they are transferred to the regular operations.

So, former Colorado Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams heads to Michigan to run a U.S. Senate campaign and winds off squaring off against Ken Buck's deputy campaign manager.
Wadhams' candidate, Clark Durant, faces frontrunner Pete Hoekstra for the GOP nomination.
Hoekstra's campaign manager is Ethan Eilon, who worked for Buck in Colorado's 2010 Senate race. Eilon has interned for Congressman Bob Beauprez and worked for the Colorado GOP's get-out-the vote effort in 2004 (the same year Wadhams was in South Dakota masterminding John Thune's victory over Tom Daschle).
Eilon also has worked on Jon Huntsman's presidential campaign and served as the executive director of the College Republican National Committee.
But maybe because of the age difference — Eilon is 28, Wadhams is 56 — the two admit they don't know each other. They will by the time Michigan's primary rolls around next August.

Onyx Toile Micro Velvet Dog Crate Cover
Every product has it's own size chart which can be FOUND IN THE SECONDARY PHOTOS (under the main photo) on each item or in the description of the product.No two size charts are exactly the same! A small on one size chart might be a medium on another size chart. For this reason, we ask that you measure your dog and refer to the size chart on each item in your order to ensure that you will receive a product that fits. Below is a guide to help you measure your dog. If you require assistance, please CONTACT US. We are happy to help!
*For collars, if there is no size chart then it is reasonable to assume that the size of the item will refer to the length measurement (except for a dog harness, in which case the chest measurement would be the size).
**All sizes for clothing are based mainly on chest girth. The chest measurement is critical, especially in larger breeds who have a much deeper chest. Please go one size larger for dogs with very thick fur or if your dogs size is on the border limit.
To determine the proper size for your dog, measure your dog's neck, chest and back with a soft tape-measure following the instructions below.
1. Neck girth is taken by measuring the circumference of the neck (where the collar sits). Measure closely around the neck and do not include space for fingers.
2. Back length is measured from the base of your pet's neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail. When measuring the back length it is very important that the pet is standing in normal position.
3. Chest girth is taken from the widest part of the pet's chest, usually behind the front legs. Measure closely all the way around the chest.
*** If you don't have a paper tape measure handy but you do have a printer, CLICK HERE!
Your wired dog crate has never looked better! This luxury designer dog crate cover not only gives your dog privacy and security but adds a touch of class to unattractive, ordinary wire crates. Machine washable and dryable. Luxury Crate Cover Only! Check out the rest of the Onyx Toile Micro Velvet Collection here.

Baggage Fees?
OK, count this post in the "Got Ya!" file. Along the way, this mileage run gathers a lot of booty and just coming out of Germany I'm heading for baggageville. OK, no self-respecting member of FlyerTalk should ever have to pay a bag fee given the troves of advice on how to earn elite and bypass the piggy bank of flyers that forms to your right. So, here's just a sampling of my "take home" pay just so far:
Mega DOers Finish First
When I wrapped up last year's Star Mega DO by (quite legally) crashing the Lufthansa First Class Terminal along with a small gaggle of FlyerTalkers, I figured it was literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But here we are a year later, and I've been back not once, but twice in a span of less than 12 hours. As mentioned in a previous post, Lufthansa took the unprecedented step of busing the entire roster of this year's Mega DO to the FCT for a nightcap after dinner — the first and only time in its history that non-HONs and non-ticketed first class passengers have ever been allowed inside. This was especially impressive considering the terminal is technically airside, which meant stationing personnel at every exit to keep the entire terminal in lockdown.
So what did you miss? First, the basics: the FCT is a standalone building, built at a cost of $43 million. The best-known feature is the fleet of Porches, BMWs and Mercedes downstairs waiting to whisk you to your flight. (This morning, I settled for a Mercedes van; Randy hitched a ride in a Porsche. "I can cross that off my frequent traveler bucket list," he said.) Equally famous in FT circles are the rubber duckies in the bathtub, which had been removed for the evening to keep people like me (and Will Steele) from making off with them.
I'll leave it to others to debate which airline has the best lounges, or which is the single best lounge in the world, but the FCT has to be in the uppermost tier with the Virgin Clubhouse at LHR and the Wing and the Pier at HKG. (If anyone would like to argue why their favorite is better, I'd love to see it in the comments.) One myth that was shattered for me was the fact that the pastries — which years ago on a quick press tour I'd been told were flown in fresh on the first flight from Vienna each morning — were more or less baked locally, with only a handful of delicacies being flown in from Austria. (Why shouldn't the FCT be hand-stocked with air-freighted delicacies?)
On Tuesday night, the restaurant was closed and the bar (which prides itself on its single malt selection, delighting Tommy) was limited to a small selection of scotches, cognac and grappa, but a small expedition the next morning (thanks to our HON chaperones) sampled breakfast, toasted with Tattinger, and did the things "air warriors" do in these situations: enjoyed our good fortune.

So I've noticed that with 'The Gate House Raid"(can't say about the castle) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?S=70402-1 there is no black 1x2 brick and plate for the horse to have if you took of the saddle like they use to do. My guess is that TLC probably thought it was useless and a waste of plastic.
Have any one else noticed this and why do you think they did this?

Whitman College is a small liberal arts school, but our students think big.
At Whitman, you will be challenged and rewarded, intellectually stimulated and inspired. No matter what you choose to focus on academically, you will graduate with a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences and a deep understanding of your chosen field.
With 49 majors — as well as the opportunity to craft new interdisciplinary areas of study — Whitman students are able to pursue their academic passions, wherever they may lead. This is due in large part to the atmosphere of collaboration — not competition — that the college fosters among students and faculty members.
Nearly all our students cite their close working relationships with professors as paramount to their success at Whitman. Our faculty members are passionate teacher-scholars known for their research and writing. You will learn from them in a small classroom setting, work with them in the field, and — in many cases — even collaborate with them on academic research and publications.
Liberal Arts at Whitman
Whitman students work theoretically and across disciplines, but they also get to put their knowledge to use in the field. It's a challenging and rewarding combination that blurs the lines between the classroom and the workplace, as well as between different areas of study.
An interdisciplinary undergraduate experience
- Whitman's Encounters program — taken by all first-year students — is a unique yearlong introduction to how a liberal arts education works. All students read the same texts, talk about them in small class discussions, and lay the groundwork for the intellectual experience to come.
- The Whitman Undergraduate Conference is an annual celebration of undergraduate scholarship. The WUC features students nearly 200 students presenting to the campus community the results of research projects and creative endeavors usually undertaken in conjunction with faculty members.
- As part of the general studies requirement, you'll take courses on topics you've always wanted to explore as well as on those you haven't yet considered, ranging from anthropology to geology, and the politics of environmental studies to world literature.
- Community-based service learning opportunities are also characteristic of the Whitman experience: More than 25% of students take on a volunteer, internship or another service role in the greater community every week.
Off-campus study
- Around 40 percent of Whitman juniors study abroad each year. Far-flung locales are a great setting to develop an understanding of new cultures or regions — an important part of a liberal arts education and a key to developing future global citizens.
- There are also opportunities closer to home: the nine-day U.S.-Mexico Border Program, for example, takes 12 Whitman students into communities on the border to give them firsthand insight into the implications and consequences of issues such as globalization, immigration and border security.
- An innovative and acclaimed program, Semester in the West sends 20 students on an odyssey through the American West to study environmental, biological and political issues. Offered every other fall semester, it is a workout in interdisciplinary critical thinking.
Professional development
With the help of the Student Engagement Center and the Office of Fellowships and Grants, Whitman prepares its students for life after graduation. Whitman Internship Grants fund more than 120 unpaid internships each summer, and the Community Fellow Initiative puts juniors and seniors to work in Walla Walla non-profits all year long; as far as prestigious fellowships and scholarships go, Whitman students regularly take home honors ranging from Fulbright U.S. Student program awards to German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) positions.
Service learning projects
Integrating academic work with community service allows Whitman students to make a real difference to the lives of others in our community: the Student Engagement Center helps locate volunteer opportunities while the residential Community Service House serves as a hub for service-oriented programming and discussions. As an incoming student, you can go on a Summer Community OutReach Excursion (SCORE); you could also spend a spring break on a service trip. About 70% of the student body engages in community service every year.

On To Houston
Last night, with the big guy leading the way, was an offensive epidemic. Ryan Howard certainly put a charge in his two homers.
Biggest thing was winning two of three.
Now, on to Houston for four games against the red-hot Astros. When they limped out of Philadelphia on April 17, they were in last place in the NL Central, 6-10. They are 21-11 since and in the hunt.
Where's Waldo?
Well, this is really where's Wolever, as in Marti, our director of scouting who will oversee the First-Year Player Draft which starts two weeks from today.
"Since last Thursday, I have been in St. Louis, Atlanta, Dallas, Oklahoma City and now on to Tucson, Seattle, Minneapolis and then home for a day or two before coming into Philadelphia to begin draft meetings that start on Wednesday," e-mailed Marti.. "The draft should be very deep in talent and we are looking forward to a Phillie first, 6 picks in the top 110."
Minor League Notes
RHP J. D. Durbin struggled at Lehigh Valley and has been assigned to Reading where he lost this morning, 5-2, to Trenton. All 4 runs off J.D. were unearned . . . Lakewood 1B Michael Durante, who leads our minor leagues with 10 homers, went on the DL today with a sprained left ankle . . . Lakewood RHP Drew Naylor leads all minor league pitchers with 71 strikeouts . . . Lehigh Valley LHP J. A. Happ leads the International League with 66 strikeouts . . . Reading RHP Carlos Carrasco is tied for the Eastern League lead with 59 . . . There were 357 pitches thrown in last night's Trenton-Reading game, 195 by the Phillies, 162 by the Thunder, who romped, 15-5.
This Date
In Phillies history……
1983 Phillies pulled off two trades in the same day, getting LHP Sid Monge from San Diego for OF Joe Lefebvre and LHP Willie Hernandez from the Cubs for RHP Dick Ruthven and RHP Bill Johnson.

The Upper Lusatian Moorland Biosphere Reserve is the only biosphere reserve in Saxony and one of the largest areas of pondland in Germany.
The reserve is situated in the middle of an ancient cultivated landscape in the eastern part of the free state of Saxony between the Upper Lusatian countryside in the south and the Upper Lusatian mining district in the north. Over 350 ponds are nestled amongst dune forests, river meadows, heaths and stark expanses of farmland, offering a wide range of habitats for rare plants and animals.
Many species, some of them endangered, thrive here, including the otter, white stork and white-tailed eagle. The natural beauty of this landscape of ponds and heath is best appreciated via a network of scenic walking and cycling trails, which also takes in the local villages. Long-distance cycle paths such as the Spreeradweg and Froschradweg also run through the reserve. The Seeadlerradweg cycle path takes riders on a tour of the natural and man-made features of the Lusatian pond landscape and the attractions, both large and small, of the biosphere reserve. Also worth visiting are the farmers' markets that take place twice a year and where you can buy fresh, high-quality produce of assured provenance direct from the producers. And various forms of cultural entertainment are on offer, such as the Sorbian folk ensembles providing an insight into this people's art and culture.

Seattle is ripe with innovation.
From aerospace to biotechnology to software to retail, startup companies in this moss-covered part of the globe are breaking traditional boundaries, creating groundbreaking ideas that truly could change how we see the world.
With that in mind, we're excited to announce the Seattle 10, presented in partnership with the Museum of History & Industry and the new Bezos Center for Innovation.
This is a list of some of the most promising emerging technology companies in the region.
Limiting the list to just 10 startup companies was no easy task — a sign that the region is spawning innovative companies in all sorts of interesting areas. In fact, we're hopeful that this is the beginning of an annual partnership between GeekWire and MOHAI where we identify and celebrate some of the top innovators in our region.
In this batch, we looked for a diverse set of companies that were less than six years old and had revolutionary technologies that could one day translate into large businesses. That led us to entrepreneurs who are innovating in the areas of education; big data; biotechnology; sensors and, even, asteroid mining.
Now, here's the really fun part.
As a member of the Seattle 10, each company will get the opportunity to sketch their business concepts on giant six-foot by six-foot cocktail napkins. Those napkins, which were delivered to the companies last week, will be displayed at MOHAI, making their debut at the big GeekWire Gala on Dec. 4th.
We're excited to see how these innovators visually express their business ideas.
Thanks to everyone who submitted their companies for consideration, and we're looking forward to everyone in the community joining us at the GeekWire Gala at MOHAI where the 10 cocktail napkins will be unveiled publicly for the first time.
Without further ado, here's the Seattle 10 for 2013 with short descriptions from each company about how they will change the world.
SNUPI, co-founder Jeremy Jaech:
"In our increasingly busy lives, we all seek peace of mind that our home, and what's in it, is safe. The SNUPI Team has tackled just that, creating a sensor system that monitors home hazards related to moisture, temperature and humidity. We've incorporated user-friendly guidance and convenient modes of communication to allow for an interactive experience, so you're always in the know. Our product is environmentally conscious, using a battery that lasts for over ten years, and letting you maintain your home's resources for a sustainable future. SNUPI is here to give the world safer, healthier and smarter homes."

Presage Biosciences, founder Jim Olson:
"Cancer patients are desperate for a cure. Today, doctors select drugs for cancer patients as best they can. However, drugs that work for one patient often don't work for another. They suffer the side effects, but without any benefit. Presage takes an unprecedented, modern approach to uncovering how a person's tumor responds to drugs, but before treating them and subjecting them to drug toxicity. Using 3D microinjection, Presage's platform aims to directly measure a patient's tumor responds to microdoses of different drugs. Armed with such data, we believe future oncologists will provide far more effective treatments, and cures, for cancer patients."
Previously on GeekWire: Geek of the Week: Dr. Jim Olson's 'Project Violet' is crowdfunding potential cures for cancer
Porch, founder Matt Ehrlichman:
"More than $500 billion is spent annually on improving homes. It's your biggest asset — emotionally and financially. The $1 billion gorilla in the home improvement space today charges consumers for reviews from strangers. Homeowners deserve better. The answer is with data. Porch has insights into 75 percent of U.S. homes and 90 million home projects. Now, homeowners can find the right professionals based on who neighbors have used, friend endorsements, and professional history on similar homes. Porch will change the way you live."
Previously on GeekWire: Porch launches nationally, promising to bring radical transparency to home improvement market
Planetary Resources, president Chris Lewicki
"We are asteroid miners. Our team of entrepreneurs and engineers is on a mission to expand humanity's economic sphere of influence off-Earth and into the Solar System. The reason is simple: Those same resources that drove exploration throughout history and over which wars are fought exist in near-infinite quantities on asteroids. These space rocks contain water, rocket fuels, structural and precious metals in great abundance. The technology and know-how to harness these resources now exists. And in doing so, we can provide stability on Earth and a catalyst for humankind to prosper wherever we choose to call home."
Previously on GeekWire: Planetary Resources pulls in cash from nation's largest engineering firm to help mine asteroids
Modumetal, founder Christina Lomasney:
"Modumetal is a new class of nano-layered materials that represent a disruptive change in both the performance and manufacturing efficiency of advanced materials. Across the Bronze Age, the Iron Age and even through the Age of Steel, manufacturing has depended on heat-based processing. Modumetal is shifting away from the heat-based source of energy in metals manufacturing, using a patented process with electricity as its energy source to create an entirely new class of nano-layered materials that is redefining the performance of metals at competitive cost, for industrial scale applications."
Previously on GeekWire: Materials science upstart Modumetal heats up with new cash, names Concur CEO Steve Singh to board
Innovega, president and CTO Randy Sprague:
"As humans, we gain awareness of our surroundings through our senses. No sense is more critical to the understanding of our environment than our vision. Clearly, the most accessible pathway into our brains is through our eyes. What if we could enlarge this pathway to allow additional information into our brains? What if we could make the information available on the internet more naturally accessible? Could this lead to better learning, better understanding, and better enjoyment? Would this not change the world? Innovega seeks to enhance the natural eyesight functions to allow viewing digital content simultaneously with the surrounding environment."
Previously on GeekWire: Look out, Google: Startup making high-tech glasses an (augmented) reality
Hointer, founder Nadia Shouraboura:
"Hointer is a retail technology incubator. Through the use of technology, (we are) changing the way people shop — making it simple and fun. At Hointer, customers tap their phones, hear the whoosh sound and watch the jeans magically appear in their fitting rooms in under 30 seconds. Wrong size? Tap your phone again and whoosh, here is the next size up. Ready to check out? Swipe a card and you are done. At Hointer an intelligent computer brain runs the store, makes decisions, collects enormous amount of data and helps store associates to better assist customers."
Previously on GeekWire: Amazon vet's new robot-powered apparel startup aims to revolutionize how we buy clothes
HasOffers, CEO Peter Hamilton:
"HasOffers and MobileAppTracking provide attribution analytics for mobile and desktop advertising. We're changing the world of marketing and advertising because that attribution is completely unbiased. Our clients have full ownership and visibility in their data and the ability to work with any advertising partners like Google, Facebook, Twitter and MillennialMedia and share that performance data to drive better customer life time value. We strive to provide the best solutions for collecting, managing, and displaying data for our clients with accuracy and transparency."
Previously on GeekWire: Fast-growing HasOffers raises $9.4M, promises to keep 'bootstrapper spirit' alive
CreativeLive, co-founder Chase Jarvis:
"CreativeLive combines the best elements of learning with the best instructors while removing typical constraints like access, geography and cost. It's also a tool that empowers people to learn real skills to enhance their career or hobby to help them move up in their field, or turn their true passion into a day job."
Previously on GeekWire: CreativeLive lands $21.5M, looks to upend online learning with live broadcasts
Context Relevant, founder Stephen Purpura:
"We help people make intelligent decisions from messy, imperfect data. To advance analytics by a generational leap, we built technology that automated complex processes to extract value from the data people had available and not the curated data that they thought they needed. We enable instant understanding of the needs and wants of people in context with the rapidly changing world around them. This improves lives by helping banks to avoid disaster by quickly understanding risk and by offering people the right solution at the right time."

I. Introduction and Mission Statement
Introduction: This Code of Ethics was compiled by a committee of seasoned rescuers and members of the Pit Bull Owners Alliance. It serves to provide guidelines for Pit Bull Rescuers. The term ?Pit Bull? as used throughout this document refers to dogs believed to be purebred American Pit Bull Terriers (or American Staffordshire Terriers). Foster homes employed by signers of this Code of Ethics shall also be bound by the guidelines set forth herein.
Mission Statement: The Ethical Pit Bull Rescuer holds restoration of the Pit Bull breed as paramount to their mission and activities. He/she holds public perception of the pit bull in the forefront of each decision and endeavor, and strives to place only the best representatives of the breed into homes that are fully capable of providing adequate care and training. Additionally, the responsible Pit Bull Rescuer understands that such activities require extensive knowledge of Pit Bull history, temperament, and behavior, and therefore educates themselves to the fullest extent before presenting themselves as a qualified, ethical Rescuer.
II. Guidelines For The Pit Bull Rescuer
SECTION 1: Selection of Rescue Dogs For Potential Placement.
SECTION 2: Care & Handling of Rescue Dogs.
SECTION 3: Placement of Rescue Dogs.
SECTION 4: General Professional Conduct.
SECTION 1: Selection of Rescue Dogs For Potential Placement.
1. Only accepts and places breed ambassadors that meet the Standard for Pit Bull Temperament. (See ITEM 1 - below)
2. Conducts preliminary temperament evaluations before accepting new dogs. Continues to test dogs in a variety of settings after they are brought into rescue. Holds dogs for at least a month before placing them up for adoption.
3. Will choose among many available dogs for the one(s) that best fit the skills of the Rescuer and within the scope of available resources.
4. When a Pit Bull Rescuer is selecting dogs that are clearly pit bull mixes, he/she will opt for those dogs that are predominantly pit bull and display classically sound pit bull temperaments. (See ITEM 2 - below).
5. Will carefully select and place puppies based on the guidelines set forth in ITEM 3 of this document.
6. When presented with a dog that is not potentially a good candidate for future adoption, Rescuer will either encourage humane euthanasia of the dog, or, if reasonable, will take legal possession of the dog in order to facilitate humane euthanasia.
7. When taking custody of dogs already in the legal possession of an owner or organization, the Pit Bull Rescuer will require the submission of a signed surrender form which clearly states transfer of ownership to the Rescuer.
SECTION 2: Care & Handling of Rescue Dogs.
1. Will provide adequate vet care, nutrition, housing and daily exercise, as well as basic training for each dog.
2. Willing to humanely euthanize any unsound or unadoptable pit bull in his/her possession if the dog presents highly undesirable behavior and/or is incurably ill beyond reasonable veterinary care.
3. Spays and neuters all dogs (including puppies), administers rabies vaccine and microchip prior to placement.
4. Does not breed rescued dogs.
5. Socializes pit bulls with other dogs based on individual temperament. Socializes pit bulls with many people in many situations and environments. Teaches acceptable leash manners around other dogs and trains them to behave as ambassadors before placement.
6. Uses proper containment to prevent dogs from running at large, including: sufficient fencing, crate, dog run and/or kennel at home, and proper use of leash and collar outside of the home. Insists that adopters use the same methods.
7. Acknowledges, understands, and accepts pit bull dog aggression as a breed trait and will follow standard protocol which includes separating the unsupervised pit bull from other dogs to prevent fights and ensure successful interaction between dogs in their possession. Requires the same from adopters.
8. Acknowledges, understands and accepts that aggression towards animals other than dogs is also a trait in the pit bull breed and will carefully manage dogs in their possession to prevent injury to other animals via standard protocol which includes separating the unsupervised pit bull from other animals. Requires the same from adopters.
9. Will not allow pregnant females to go full-term when late term spay resources are available.
10. Will manage, care for, and place puppies based on the guidelines set forth in Item 3 of this document.
SECTION 3: Placement of Rescue Dogs.
1. Screens potential adopters through an application process, interview, home check and reference check. Provides extensive pit bull breed education to the potential home and only places with qualified, stable, competent homes that are able manage a pit bull in a manner consistent with the guidelines set forth in this document.
2. Understands that adult dogs make better adoption prospects over puppies. Educates adopters to the fact that a dog's true temperament and dog aggression potential is not known until maturity (approximately 3 years of age). Does not place dogs under 12 months of age for full adoption. Does not place dogs that have been in the possession of Rescuer for less than one month.
3. Does not place dogs in pairs or groups.
4. Uses legally binding contracts that ensure safe and secure homes for dogs that are adopted. This document shall also provide legal grounds for repossession of dogs that are not being cared for in a manner consistent with the guidelines set forth in this document. The Pit Bull Rescuer will follow up on placement and continue to keep in touch with adoptive homes for an indefinite period of time in order to monitor the dog's progress. Reclaims adopted dogs from situations or circumstances that prove to be neglectful, or unsafe for the pit bull, other dogs/animals or humans, or from homes that can no longer care for them. Reclaims dogs that begin to present with abnormal human aggression.
5. Remains a resource to the adoptive home for the life of the dog. Will work with adoptive home to help remedy any problems and/or issues that arise due to adoption of a pit bull in order to ensure successful life long adoption, if this is reasonable and realistic. Otherwise refer to Section Three: No. 4 above.
6. When using foster homes, the Pit Bull Rescuer will require the submission of a signed foster contract which allows the Rescuer to maintain full control and possession of the dogs.

2. Presents themselves professionally and responsibly.
3. Acts as a community resource for breed education and information, and provides materials and public outreach where possible.
4. Will not buy dogs to 'rescue' them, as this only serves the breeder.
5. Will label pit bulls and pit bull mixes (see Item 2) as accurately as is possible and will not misrepresent a dog's breed/mix in order to boost adoption interest.
6. Will not label dogs as 'bait' or 'fighting' animals without substantial evidence and/or witnesses (the mere presence of fight wounds does not indicate that a dog was used as 'bait' nor as a 'fighting dog').
III. Additional Information
The ?Temperament Correct? pit bull: seeks out human interaction; is responsive, biddable and eager to please; may be genetically predisposed to aggression towards other dogs or animals; is appropriately submissive; is well balanced and optimistic; enjoys handling; presents good eye contact; is able to be calm in the presence of other dogs on leash or - if initially leash reactive - can learn how to tolerate their presence; is willing to connect with handler during high arousal; can be handled safely even in times of high arousal; accepts a reasonable amount of confinement; drops arousal levels quickly when removed from a stressful situation; is social with people of all types; is responsive and good natured; is never aggressive towards humans.
ITEM 2: Pit Bull Mixes:
A. When dealing with Pit Bull mixes, the Pit Bull Rescuer should adhere to the same standard and code of ethics they do when dealing with purebred pit bulls. Pit Bull mixes should exhibit the same temperament as purebreds or be considered unsuitable rescue and adoption candidates.
B. The Pit Bull Rescuer should clearly label Pit Bull mixes as mixes and attempt to identify exactly what breeds the dog is mixed with when labeling.
C. Rescuing pit bulls mixed with guarding breeds is strongly discouraged. Extra caution and care should be taken when selecting and placing those dogs that are mixed with guard dog breeds including but not limited to Neapolitan Mastiffs, Dogue de Bourdeaux, Fila Brasileiro, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, Rottweilers, German Shepherds and others. Since the temperament of the pit bull is very different than the temperament of breeds in the guardian category, such mixes can create unique handling and placement challenges, and should be considered candidates for experienced homes only.
ITEM 3: Puppies
A. Strong preference for puppies that have both littermates and a temperament correct dam (See ITEM 1)
B. Will not rescue the puppies of a dam of incorrect temperament.
C. Considers puppies under 6-8 weeks of age to be high-risk and will not rescue unless moved directly into a setting that includes at least one healthy, vaccinated and well-adjusted adult role model dog able to provide appropriate dog-pup socialization. Due to the possibility of cross-contamination of fatal puppy disease it is recommended that puppies from various litters not be mixed until the health of all puppies is confirmed and adequate incubation periods met.
ITEM 3, Sub Section One: Care of Puppies.
A. The Pit Bull Rescuer will be well-versed and fully supported and be able to provide comprehensive socialization and evaluation.
B. If a litter arrives without a dam, efforts will be made to socialize puppies remedially through the age of 16 weeks to as many healthy and appropriate adult dogs as possible. This is of particular importance with litters under 8 weeks of age.
C. In the case of single puppy, the Pit Bull Rescuer will attempt to locate healthy, same-aged pups for pup-on-pup interaction after the new puppy's 10-day health quarantine has expired.
D. The Pit Bull Rescuer will maintain puppies in-home throughout the socialization period (16-20 weeks). This practice allows the Rescuer to maximize socialization, and provides opportunities to observe problem behavior as it may develop.
E. Socialization with humans should be considered a prime concern for puppies.
F. Despite best efforts to nurture pups properly, Pit Bull Rescuers must be aware of the influence of nature (genetics) and be willing to humanely euthanize those pups that demonstrate incorrect Pit Bull temperament.
ITEM 3, Sub Section Two: Placement of High Risk Puppies.
A. Adoptions shall not be finalized until the puppy is 12 months old and temperament evaluation period is complete.
ITEM 4: Qualities to Look For in Adopter Candidates.
1. Has already done good breed research. Asks good questions. Shows willingness to learn more.
2. Is realistic about breed challenges: Dog-on-dog aggression, high energy level, strong willed personalities, pulls on leash, strong and pushy, need to keep socialized to dogs, attracts negative attentions from some public.
3. Shows a stable, mature, open-minded personality.
4. Happy to be interviewed and receive a home inspection.
5. Physically capable of handling a strong dog and demonstrates a calm, confident way with the dog.
6. Wants an indoor pet as a companion animal/family member only.
7. Has had some dog experience, including basic obedience training.
8. Has a reasonably active lifestyle and is prepared to satisfy dog's daily exercise needs.
9. Owns a home or has a secure rental that will allow a pit bull (check those leases!)
10. Homes must provide safe containment: tall, secure fences if yard is present and working latches on gates.
11. The entire household is involved in the decision and is able to help manage the dog (roommates, children, seniors too)
12. Other pets in the home are a good match. No same sex pit bull placements and home understands that pit bull must be separated from other pets when not supervised.

Could you please clarify this item for me? Does it mean that Puppies will not go to adoptive homes before they are 12mo old? Or they can go, but it is more of a temporary deal?

A trial is scheduled to begin this week in the case of a suspended northeastern Pennsylvania police chief accused of having sexually assaulted a teenage girl almost a decade ago.
The (Scranton) Times-Tribune reports jury selection is scheduled Tuesday in Lackawanna County Court for the trial of Old Forge Police Chief Larry Semenza. Charges against him include indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, and corruption of a minor, according to court records.
Semenza vehemently denies the charges, according to the paper.
Prosecutors allege that he and former police captain Jamie Krenitsky assaulted the girl beginning in 2004 when she was 15 and a junior firefighter. She said she had a sexual relationship with Semenza through 2007.
Krenitsky pleaded guilty last month to one misdemeanor count of indecent assault. A former borough firefighter pleaded guilty to a similar charge in December.

Ryan Chamberlain, focus of FBI manhunt, arrested in S.F.
After three days on the run as the focus of a nationwide manhunt, San Francisco political and media consultant Ryan Chamberlain was captured within city limits on Monday evening, the FBI said, hours after an apparent suicide note was posted on social media.
Chamberlain was taken to a police station after being detained near Crissy Field and booked on suspicion of possessing explosives in violation of federal law, said a law enforcement official who asked not to be identified.
The police bomb squad, meanwhile, used a robot mechanism to search Chamberlain's car. The vehicle was towed out of the parking lot about 9 p.m.
According to the law enforcement official, police had spotted Chamberlain's white four-door Nissan sedan parked outside the Beach Hut Cafe at 6:22 p.m. A witness there reported seeing police and federal agents detain Chamberlain within view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
"He looked pretty surprised and frantic. He was asking for help," said Morgan Manos, an Uber driver who recognized Chamberlain from media photos. "He saw me recording (with a phone camera) and asked me for help."
Manos said Chamberlain was wearing shorts, a sweatshirt and a beanie and looked scared. "They took him down hard," Manos said.
Apparent suicide note
Earlier Monday, Chamberlain's 718 Facebook friends were jolted by a posting of an apparent suicide note titled "Goodbye" - a letter he had apparently written Saturday, shortly after federal agents searched his Polk Street home and allegedly found explosives.
Chamberlain said he had used a program, HootSuite, to delay the posting of the note, in which he bade farewell to loved ones and spoke about suffering from depression "for as long as I can recall."
"So much was broken from this past year-and-a-half, and from moments way back before that," the three-page letter stated. "I guess it was just insurmountable, and the time's up."
At one point Monday, a second note - also posted using HootSuite - showed up on Facebook and Twitter. It wasn't clear when the note was written, but Chamberlain indicated he had been following media reports about the raid and was compelled to correct them.
"A panicked update to my letter that should have posted by now," he wrote. "Nothing they're reporting is true. No 'stashes.' Not 'armed and dangerous.' No car 'rigged to explode.' "
Chamberlain suggested he had taken actions online that had drawn the FBI's scrutiny.
"I explored some ugly websites, a year-ish ago. I was depressed. I let Walter White get to me. I thought I was done. That's it. No one was ever in danger. And recently I was all better. I owe my friends and my girlfriend for that. But I guess I did enough for the damage to be done. I'm so sorry everyone."
Later in the day, federal agents rushed to Mad Dog in the Fog, a bar in the Lower Haight, after Chamberlain's debit card was apparently used at an ATM on the premises, according to a bartender who gave only her first name of Jules.
The notes added to a perplexing story of a 42-year-old who struck many people as successful and happy but was apparently struggling to cope.
The "Goodbye" letter detailed issues with his mother, whom Chamberlain called a "religious addict certain that the Rapture is coming any day now," as well as a romantic heartbreak and the loss of a job. He mentioned past traumas and disappointments, saying he was denied credit for the biggest success of his career in political consulting: helping Gavin Newsom during his winning 2003 mayoral campaign.
The turn of events startled people like Bob Brigham, 36, who worked with Chamberlain on the Newsom campaign and described him as a close friend.
"He's one of the top two or three strategic minds in Bay Area politics. It just seems so out of character," said Brigham, who now runs a consulting firm in Montana.
Called incredibly social
Brigham described his friend as incredibly social. He said Chamberlain was the guy who would come up with the costume idea for the Bay to Breakers race, then make sure there was a keg of beer on hand. Brigham said his friend occasionally showed signs of depression but not to a degree that would cause such distress.
Chamberlain, a social media specialist who used the handle Poliholic, became a well-known figure in San Francisco's political world after moving to the city from Iowa at age 30. He worked for consulting firms on elections and once ran for a seat on the Republican Party County Central Committee in San Francisco, the party's local organizing body.
More recently, he did public relations work for technology, apparel and marketing firms. In 2012, he worked as an independent contractor for The Chronicle and promoted the San Francisco 49ers Insider iPad app on social media.
On Saturday, more than two dozen federal agents, hazardous materials specialists, police officers and firefighters raided his apartment at 1831 Polk St. Chamberlain was not home at the time.
'I got real dark'
It wasn't immediately clear what Chamberlain was referring to when he spoke of online activity that may have triggered the FBI investigation.
"I got dark. I got real dark. I explored myriad ways I could put an end to what I was going through," Chamberlain wrote. "I binged-watched dark TV, sometimes didn't get off the couch for days, and scoured the Internet absorbing fuel for morbid fantasies. Some of that activity seemed to attract the attention of some visitors today ... who have made it rather evident that this is the end of the line for me."

text: Canonical's preview of a smartphone- and tablet-friendly flavor of Ubuntu has finally arrived for folks willing to flash a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 or a Nexus tablet. Shuttleworth and friends stress that the release is intended for developers and enthusiasts -- not those eyeing it as a daily driver, mind you -- and that it's not yet kitted out with its complete functionality. As of now, the Ubuntu touch dev preview contains the shell, core applications, WiFi networking, support for front- and rear-facing cameras and Android Developer Bridge tool connectivity. In addition, the operating system allows Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 handsets to connect to a GSM network, make phone calls and send texts. Along with the sneak peak, the Ubuntu SDK has been badged with the alpha moniker since it's flaunting a host of new features, including the ability to deploy and execute apps straight from the IDE.

Rob Bagby necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 41 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
We are an online training company start-up. We create high-quality training videos targeting developers. We prefer a very clean, simple design.
We are trying to accomplish 2 things with the logo:
1) brand the name devEducate.com
2) have a simple image that people can associate to us. The image should relay the thought of videos, training, technical training or online training. Something like (but not limited to) the profile of a reel-to-reel projector (after all, we do videos).
The target audience is developers. This is an emerging market, but there are companies out there. http://tekpub.com/ is a current player. I like the simplicity of their site and logo.
The requirements for this are pretty simple. I am looking for a logo that incorporates the site name (devEducate.com) and a simple image. The image should relay the thought of videos, training, technical training or online training. I am fine if the logo is single-color (I mentioned a thought of the outline (white or black or otherwise) of a reel-to-reel projector) or multi-color. You are free to be creative with the design of the logo.
I have attached a screenshot of the home page where the logo will go. I also have a zip containing the html, css and images. The height of the header can be increased and the color/gradient of the header modified if you think it appropriate.
Just to be clear, I would like logo itself (photoshop format) and the images that I can use in the theme (png format).
Thanks and I look forward to it.

Denver Water keeps its audits secret
Ah, the possibilities. Imagine having a government-sanctioned monopoly that sells one of the few things human beings cannot live without – and not having to answer to the public.
One of the features of this new Lookout Colorado blog is to alert readers to other findings by political watchdogs out there.
Face The State's Jared Jacang Maher has a fascinating piece today about the fact that Denver Water, unlike the vast majority of other government agencies, keeps information about its audits strictly to itself.
This is no joke. When Denver city council members asked Denver's auditor for help in making sense of increasing water charges for customers, the City Attorney found the utility off limits.
Says the auditor's spokesman, "The (Denver) charter sets up Denver Water as completely independent and not accountable to anybody."

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani teamed up for a very special performance on "The Voice" Monday night. The couple debuted the duet they wrote together, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," which appears on Shelton's upcoming album (which he has called his most personal album ever).
Stefani and Shelton, who have been dating since last year, met while both serving as coaches on NBC's reality hit series.
After gazing into each others' eyes through their performance, the pair shared a sweet hug Monday. (Plus, as an E! News spy in the audience observed, Shelton paused to walk his lady down the stairs and off the stage before returning to his red chair.)
U.S. & World
The single appears on Shelton's new album, "If I'm Honest," available May 20.
"This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written or recorded," Shelton said when the performance was announced. "It came from a time and place when Gwen and I were beginning our journey together and both experiencing a hard time letting our guards down with each other. The song couldn't possibly be more honest. I'm honored to have written and to perform this song with the great Gwen Stefani. Respect."
It was a country-centric night on "The Voice" as Florida Georgia Line performed their new single, "H.O.L.Y."
"The Voice" airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

WASHINGTON – Montgomery County is the top of the pack out of the nation's large school districts, with an 87 percent graduation rate, according to Education Week's recently published 2012 Diplomas Count report.
Montgomery County Public Schools spokesman Dana Tofig says the school system wants to see an increased push to get graduation rates higher.
"We're not going to stop working until we know 100 percent of our kids are graduating on-time and that they're ready for whatever comes next," Tofig says.
The report, which features data from the National Center for Education Statistics comes from the class of 2009, the most recent year for which data was available.
Meanwhile in Virginia, Fairfax County schools ranked second on the list, with an 85 percent graduation rate.
The District's schools came in last on the list, with 52 percent of the class of 2009 graduating, up 9 percent from 2008 — a strong increase.
Nationwide, the report finds graduation rates across the nation are rising. Graduation rates are up 2 percent, with 73 percent of students graduating.
