Politico Columnist Claims Obama "Ignored" Immigration Issues He Already Tried To Address
Politico's Roger Simon distorted President Obama's record to claim that his request for emergency funding to deal with the recent flood of unaccompanied minors crossing the border was tantamount to waking "from a deep slumber ... to fight a problem he has ignored for years." In reality, Obama has supported legislation in the past that addressed many of the underlying issues but the legislation has been blocked by the GOP.
Administration Requests Money To Address Surge Of Unaccompanied Minors
WSJ: Number Of Unaccompanied Children Crossing Has Become An "Urgent Humanitarian Situation." The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 57,000 unaccompanied minors have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since October 2013. Obama said the border crossings have created an "urgent humanitarian situation." [The Wall Street Journal, 7/14/14 [1]]
Wash. Post: Obama Requests $3.7 Billion In Emergency Funds. On July 8, Obama asked Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to address the surge of child migrants. According to The Washington Post, the bulk of that funding would go to the Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, and Homeland Security:
Under the White House proposal, most of the emergency funds would be split between the Department of Health and Human Services -- which would receive $1.8 billion to provide shelter and care to the immigrants -- and the Justice and Homeland Security departments, which would get a combined $1.6 billion to handle enforcement.
The State Department would receive $300 million to help the Central American countries repatriate their citizens and create advertising campaigns about the dangers of placing children in the hands of smuggling cartels. [The Washington Post, 7/8/14 [2]]
Politico's Simon Claims Obama Has Ignored Immigration Crisis "For Years"
Simon: Obama Asked For Funds "As If He Had Just Awoken From A Deep Slumber." Simon claimed that the $3.7 billion in funding that Obama requested to handle the unaccompanied minors came out of nowhere and that Obama has ignored the problem "for years." Simon highlighted four ways the White House plans to use the funding: $1.8 billion would go to the Health and Human Services Department for the care of child immigrants, $1.5 billion would go to the Department of Homeland Security for border security, $300 million would go to the State Department to help stabilize the children's home countries, and $64 million would help the Justice Department streamline the deportation process. From Simon's July 15 column (emphasis added):
As if he had just awoken from a deep slumber, Obama now wants an immediate $3.7 billion from Congress to fight a problem he has ignored for years.
He wants to give $1.8 billion to the Health and Human Services Department to better care for the immigrant children in the United States. This is a good thing. Seeing pictures of little kids in detention centers wrapped in those silver blankets as if they were ballpark hotdogs was heart wrenching.
And those kids shouldn't be in detention centers at all. They should be with family members in the United States (about 15 percent of the domestic population of Honduras already lives in the United States) or foster homes, which is what the 2008 law envisioned.
Next, Obama wants to give $1.5 billion to the Department of Homeland Security to beef up border security with more overtime for agents, more aerial surveillance and more drones. This is a waste.
These children from Central America are not fleeing from our Border Patrol agents, they are fleeing to them. These children want to surrender, enter the legal process and find a home here.
Obama also wants $300 million to go to the State Department to help "stabilize" the Central American countries that the kids are fleeing -- a nice thought, but how much of that $300 million is going to end up in the pockets of politicians and other criminals?
And lastly, Obama wants $64 million for the Justice Department to hire more immigration judges so he can send the children back to Central America more quickly and hire more asylum lawyers to fight to keep the children here. [Politico, 7/15/14 [3]]
Obama-Backed Senate Immigration Bill Funded Issues Addressed By Current Proposal
Politico: Obama Backs Senate Immigration Reform Bill. In December, Obama called on the House to approve the Senate's immigration reform package, Politico reported:
Obama praised the Senate bill -- as Vice President Joe Biden did last week -- and said the House should pass it.
"There are a few differences here and there, but the truth of the matter is that the Senate bill has the main components of comprehensive immigration reform that would boost our economy, give us an opportunity to attract more investment and high-skilled workers who are doing great things in places like Silicon Valley and around the country," Obama said. "So let's go ahead and get that done."
Speaking of his goals for 2014, Obama said he hoped the House would pick up the baton from the Senate.
"We can get immigration reform done," Obama said. "We've got a concept that has bipartisan support. Let's see if we can break through the politics on this." [Politico, 12/20/13 [4]]
Border Security
Emergency Funding Request Includes Money To Expand Border Surveillance and Security. The Obama administration's July 8 emergency funding request included $1.1 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and a further $433 million for Customs and Border Protection, both of which are part of the Department of Homeland Security:
The Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection - $433 million
This proposal would provide the Department of Homeland Security a total of $433 million for Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Of this total:
- $364 million would pay for operational costs of responding to the significant rise in apprehensions of unaccompanied children and families, including overtime and temporary duty costs for Border Patrol agents, contract services and facility costs to care for children while in CBP custody, and medical and transportation service arrangements;
- $29 million for CBP to expand its role in Border Enforcement Security Task Force programs, increasing information-sharing and collaboration among the participating law enforcement agencies combatting transnational crime; and
- $39.4 million to increase air surveillance capabilities that would support 16,526 additional flight hours for border surveillance and 16 additional crews for unmanned aerial systems to improve detection and interdiction of illegal activity. [WhiteHouse.gov, 7/8/14 [5]]
Senate Immigration Reform Bill Would Have Dedicated $46.3 Billion To Increased Border Security Over 10 Years. According to the American Immigration Council, the Senate-passed immigration reform bill "makes enormous investments in border security" that include dramatically increasing the number of Border Patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border, and "mandates 24-hour surveillance of the border region using mobile, video, and portable systems, as well as unmanned aircraft" -- two measures included in Obama's latest funding request. The American Immigration Council offered a breakdown of the funding:
Spending on border security will reach record levels. The bill creates a fund with $46.3 billion of initial funding to implement the Act. Additional funding will be provided by visa and other user fees, which may be increased as necessary. $30 billion will be dedicated over a 10-year period to hiring and deploying at least 19,200 additional Border Patrol agents. $8 billion will be dedicated to the Southern Border Fencing Strategy, of which $7.5 billion will be for deployment and maintenance of fencing. $750 million will be dedicated to E-Verify implementation and expansion. $4.5 billion will be spent to carry out the Comprehensive Southern Border Security Strategy, and -- if necessary -- $2 billion will be allocated to implement the recommendations of the Southern Border Security Commission. [American Immigration Council, June 2013 [6]]
Resources For Undocumented Minors In Immigration Courts
Emergency Funding Request Would Increase Legal Assistance To Children In Immigration Proceedings. Part of the White House's emergency funding request for increased Justice Department funding would decrease the immigration court backlog by hiring new judge teams and boost legal assistance to undocumented minors in the immigration courts system:
- $45.4 million would be to hire approximately 40 additional immigration judge teams, including those anticipated to be hired on a temporary basis. This funding would also expand courtroom capacity including additional video conferencing and other equipment in support of the additional immigration judge teams. These additional resources, when combined with the FY 2015 Budget request for 35 additional teams, would provide sufficient capacity to process an additional 55,000 to 75,000 cases annually.
- $2.5 million would be used to expand the legal orientation program that provides assistance to adults and custodians of children in the immigration court system.
- $15 million to provide direct legal representation services to children in immigration proceedings.
- $1.1 million to hire additional immigration litigation attorneys to support Federal agencies involved in detainee admission, regulation, and removal actions. [WhiteHouse.gov, 7/8/14 [5]]
Senate Immigration Bill Would Give Unaccompanied Minors Right To A Lawyer. As the American Immigration Council noted, the Senate immigration reform bill would give all unaccompanied minors in immigration proceedings access to a lawyer:
Under current law, immigrants in removal proceedings do not have the right to appointed counsel if they cannot afford to hire a lawyer. The bill changes this in the case of unaccompanied minor children, immigrants with serious mental disabilities, and other particularly vulnerable individuals, and requires that a lawyer be appointed to represent them. The bill requires that immigrants in proceedings have access to evidence in the government's files and adds additional immigration judges, additional court staff, and additional training programs for judges and staff. [American Immigration Council, June 2013 [6]]
AP: Immigration Reform Bill Would Decrease Court Backlog By Adding 225 Judges. The Associated Press reported that the administration-backed immigration reform bill would help decrease the backlog by adding 225 judges to the immigration courts and increasing funds for support staff:
The Senate passed immigration legislation in June that allocates more money for the immigration courts and called for 225 new judges, as well as an equal number of support staff, over the next three years. But House Speaker John Boehner has said his chamber will not take up that bill nor address a similar one introduced by House Democrats. [Associated Press, 12/22/13 [7]]
GOP Obstruction On These Issues Contributed To Problems With Immigration System
USA Today: "House GOP Kills Last Hope For Immigration Bill." In a July 10 article headlined "House GOP kills last hope for immigration bill," USA Today reported that the "last remaining hope for Congress to pass an immigration overhaul died" in the House after being stalled for months:
Diaz-Balart has been the main Republican responsible for crafting the House version of an immigration overhaul. At times, he was working with a bipartisan group of legislators to find an immigration overhaul that would be tolerable in the Republican-led House. He was repeatedly encouraged by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other GOP leaders to continue working on the bill.
But after meeting with House leadership on Thursday morning, he says he was told the end had come.
"I'm really, really disappointed," he said after the meeting. "We have a good bill. We have a unique opportunity to secure our borders, fix our broken immigration system, help our economy and do so in a way that adhere to the rule of law. But unfortunately I've been told we're not going to be able to pursue it. And I think that's highly unfortunate." [USA Today, 7/10/14 [8]]
Mother Jones: Bush Administration Acknowledged That Immigration Courts Were Understaffed. As Mother Jones pointed out in a July 14 article, the Bush administration was aware that the immigration court system did not have enough resources and attempted to address the problem in 2006:
As far back as 2006, then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales recognized that the immigration courts were woefully understaffed to process a backlog of cases that back then stood at 169,000. Gonzales called for more funding to increase resources for the courts, including adding more 40 judges. [Mother Jones, 7/14/14 [9]]
Mother Jones: Despite Bush Efforts, 1 In 6 Immigration Judgeships Were Vacant When Obama Took Office. The Mother Jones article reported that the Bush administration's efforts fell short and that the problems in immigration courts remained at the start of the Obama administration:
By the time Obama took office, immigration courts had a vacancy rate that reached 1 in 6 judgeships. The new Obama administration began hiring judges furiously, eventually adding an additional 44 new bodies to the immigration bench. Even so, his concurrent move to step up border enforcement meant that the deportation caseloads were growing even faster. [Mother Jones, 7/14/14 [9]]
Mother Jones: GOP Stonewalling On Sequestration Has Since Exacerbated The Issue. Mother Jones reported that the automatic across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration have played a role in the problem:
In 2010, the American Bar Association called on Congress and the White House to immediately initiate the hiring of at least 100 new judges to help relieve the existing crisis in the courts. Instead, Congress failed to deal with the budget of any agency, sequestration happened, and the Justice Department started a hiring freeze that didn't end until December 2013, even though at least 100 sitting immigration judges are eligible to retire this year. Meanwhile, the comprehensive immigration bill passed in the Senate last year would have added 225 new judges to the immigration courts over three years (along with clerks and support staff), but Republicans killed the bill in the House.

Vero Beach, currently 46-58 overall, finished 34-35 in the first half.
Similar to its parent club, the Devil Rays have been better at home as well, going 28-27 overall at Holman Stadium while struggling (18-31) on the road.
Featuring several key members of the 2007 South Atlantic League Champion Columbus Catfish, Vero Beach was not expected to struggle this much on the offensive end. In fact, the Devil Rays' inability to score runs has been the major weakness and reason for the poor record.
Vero Beach has been the least productive offensive team on the circuit, ranking last in batting average (.242), runs scored (363), on-base percentage (.310), OPS (.654) and slugging percentage (.344).
Ryan Royster, who nearly won the Sally League Triple Crown in '07, has been a major disappointment. Royster is currently batting .260/.306/.364 with only seven home runs. He has not made the jump to High Single-A, to put it mildly, seriously diminishing his status as a top prospect in the organization.
The Devil Rays are still waiting for Royster to regain his power stroke from last summer, when he posted a .982 OPS and hit 30 homers to guide Columbus to a title. Even worse, though, his plate discipline, questionable even during his breakout campaign, has been a major cause for concern against advanced pitching, as he has struck out 88 times while drawing only 20 walks in over 300 plate appearances.
The other premier offensive prospect expected to guide the Devil Rays' offensive attack, Desmond Jennings, missed a huge chunk of the first half, and then sustained a season-ending shoulder injury. Jennings, perhaps the fastest player in a deep Tampa Bay farm system, cracked the organizational Top 10 prospect list after scoring 77 runs with 45 stolen bases and an .866 OPS in 99 games with the Catfish in '07. The former Alabama quarterback recruit hit .259/.360/.412 before getting injured.
There is not a single member of the roster who is enjoying a breakout season, as outfielder John Matulia is the only regular with a plus-.300 batting average.
Matulia, a 10th-round pick back in 2005, has not flashed any power, though, sitting with a .380 slugging percentage and only one home run.
J.T. Hall has been perhaps the most productive hitter to this point. Hall is leading the team in on-base percentage and OPS, and earned an invitation to the FSL All-Star Game. Although he has hit only five homers during games, he even won the Home Run Derby at the event.
It was truly ironic that a Vero Beach player won the event, as its power drought has lasted all season. The Devil Rays have only hit 56 home runs as a team, fewer than all but four teams in the league.
Even that number is inflated by the performance of Matthew Fields, who ranks fourth in the league with 16 homers. Fields, however, is also fourth in the FSL in strikeouts, has shown disappointing plate discipline (24 walks) and has posted a weak line of .241/.311/.745. Selected by Tampa Bay in the 44th round of the 2004 draft out of Green River Community College in Washington, he is perhaps turning into a Two True Outcome player, because he has taken the bases on balls element out of the equation.
Royster is second on the club with his seven long balls.
Top catching prospect Nevin Ashley has also struggled, as the jump to this level has not been easy. Ashley, a sixth-round pick out of Indiana State back in 2006, put together a nice season—12 homers, 60 RBIs, .785 OPS—as a key force for Columbus a year ago. This season has been a different story, as he is batting .234/.331/.308 without any power in 83 games.
Ashley's backup, Craig Albernaz, has posted a .403 OPS in 47 at-bats. Albernaz, a minor league roster filler who has an excellent throwing arm and strong receiving skills, is still a nice backstop to have in the system. The Eckerd College product was called up to Montgomery to catch a few innings earlier this week, but has not been a productive hitter in the pros since signing a free agent contract after his solid career in the Sunshine State Conference.
Local fans have still gotten their money's worth when it comes to watching true professional hitters. Tampa Bay regulars Rocco Baldelli, Dioner Navarro, Carlos Pena and Ben Zobrist have all spent time in Vero Beach while on a rehab assignment, providing a few bright spots at the plate for the fan base.
The offensive struggles have lasted the entire season. Why, then, have the Devil Rays taken such a dive in the second half?
The reason is simple, really.
David Price and Jeremy Hellickson are gone.
Price, the first overall pick in the 2007 draft out of Vanderbilt University, was dominant at the top of the Devil Rays' starting rotation before getting promoted in June to Double-A Montgomery. The lanky southpaw, perhaps the best overall pitching prospects in the minors, was a perfect 4-0 in six starts. In fact, he looked absolutely dominant at times, overmatching young hitters with his mid-90s fastball and excellent command. He posted a 1.82 ERA, 37-to-7 K/W ratio and .220 opponents' batting average, allowing only seven earned runs on 28 hits in 34.2 innings pitched.
Vero Beach was only a quick stop on his tour of system, which will most likely end at Tropicana Field come September.
Hellickson was equally as dominant, going 7-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 14 starts with the Devil Rays. Perhaps more impressive, he showed a tremendous ability to miss bats, registering a 83-to-5 K/W ratio while limiting opponents to a .224 batting average in 76.2 innings pitched. Making it look easy with every outing, he was named as the starting pitcher for the East squad in the FSL All-Star game, though he did not pitch due to a blister on his pitching hand.
Ryan Reid was the best reliever for the team before he was promoted as well. Reid, a seventh-round pick in '06, posted a 0.29 ERA, 45-to-3 K/W ratio and .136 opponents' batting average in 21 appearances at Vero Beach. He picked up eight saves, allowing only one earned run in 31.0 innings pitched. His departure certainly left a hole in the Devil Rays' bullpen, but he is also doing well in the Southern League. While he is no longer missing bats like he was—35-to-20 K/W ratio—he has posted a 2.76 ERA for the Biscuits.
Heath Rollins does not have overpowering stuff, yet put together the best statistical campaign in the Sally League in '07, anchoring the Catfish staff alongside Hellickson. Rollins was elected to the league All-Star team and brought home SAL Pitcher of the Week honors four times, going 17-4 with a 2.54 ERA and 149-to-38 K/W ratio.
While the jump has not been as easy as it was for Hellickson, Rollins has been effective again, earning All-Star honors. His 5-9 record, in fact, is misleading, as his 3.57 ERA is the ninth-lowest total in the league. He also ranks second with a 1.06 WHIP, yet has not received any run support with the tremendous offensive struggles of his teammates.
Yet again, Rollins' case is the perfect example of why wins and losses do not ultimately show a pitcher's true effectiveness. Take the record out of the picture, because his performance has been impressive again, though—similar to Andy Sonnanstine, currently in the Rays' rotation—he will have to keep proving himself with his fringe stuff. He relies more on command and pitching savvy, which has worked for him against younger, less advanced hitters. The next jump will be a true test for him.
Outside of the aforementioned trio, Brandon Mann, Ryan Morse and Matthew Walker have received the majority of starts.
Mann, a bit old for the league, was a 27th-round back in 2002 who is still struggling to make a dent in the organization. He also has pitched better than his record (3-9) would suggest, posting a 4.22 ERA and 69-to-27 K/W ratio in 18 starts. The lefty does not fool a lot of hitters, though, and hitters have always seen the ball well against the 24-year-old.
Morse is 2-8 with a 4.22 ERA in 13 starts. In 98.0 innings pitched, he has posted a 60-to-33 K/W ratio and 1.41 WHIP.
Walker was suspended 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's substance abuse policy. Selected by Tampa Bay in the 2004 draft, he was 4-7 with a 4.86 ERA, 48-to-47 K/W ratio and .256 opponents' batting average in 66.2 innings pitched for Vero Beach. The 21-year-old right-hander posted similar numbers at in the FSL in '07 as well, going 4-9 with a 5.55 ERA and a poor 76-to-82 K/W ratio in 95.2 innings pitched in 2007.
Neal Frontz was a key stopper at closer, picking up 19 saves while posting a 1.38 ERA in 52.0 innings pitched before getting the call to the next level last week. His absence will be missed as well, but the transition to Double-A is a big step in his young pitching career.
The club with look to receive a boost from Darin Downs, whom Tampa Bay acquired in a deal with the Chicago Cubs this weekend in exchange for a player to be named later. Downs, 2-2 with a 4.92 ERA between the FSL and Southern League, will add another arm to the Devil Rays' bullpen.
Overall, Vero Beach is third in the league with a 3.60 team ERA and first with a 1.25 WHIP. With the loss of two of the flagship pitching prospects and the club's two best relievers, though, those numbers are only going to go up.
Thus, the rest of the summer will not be easy, for sure.
Price is gone. Hellickson is gone. Jennings is hurt.
The Devil Rays will need to adapt somehow to finish strong the rest of the way.

Lourdes has set a tentative timeline for its new hospice care facility and is on the doorstep of beginning construction.
The 10,000 square foot Ray & Kay Eckstein Hospice Care Center will bring inpatient hospice services into one convenient location at Lourdes to enhance care and provide a home-like atmosphere for patients and their families.
The new complex is named in honor of Ray and Kay Eckstein for a $1.5 million commitment by the Eckstein Charitable Trust, according to Kay Williams, Lourdes director of hospice and home services.
"We saw the need every day, and this will make such a difference to patients," she said.
"It's tailored to the right type of care at the right time."
She said the Lourdes Foundation embarked on a $7 million fundraising campaign last September to fully fund the construction of the facility and to create an endowment fund for future patient care needs.
The hospital surpassed its target amount quickly and has been conducting feasibility studies as well as gathering input from patients, families and hospice staff members about the design and pricing the construction.
"The community embraced it and said, 'Yes, what do you need?' and we are so grateful for that support," she said.
Williams said the hospital expects to break ground this month and have the complex completed and ready to receive patients in eight to 12 months, which would be the first half of next year. Ray Black & Sons Construction of Paducah was selected as the contractor.
The building will have 10 large private patient rooms with outside space to accommodate large families, a family room, children's play area, a serenity garden and chapel, she said.
Williams said the facility will have a different look and feel than the acute care accommodations and will be similar to the obstetrics floor in the hospital.
The center is meant to be a short-term option, but the comfort of patients and fostering their relationships with family members and friends are key elements that were incorporated into the design concept. The new center will provide "an extra layer of care" that will allow for extensive management of symptoms and provide a respite for caregivers, she said.
"It will be tailored to the unique time and needs of our hospice patients," she said. "We designed it to flow together and to give patients and families a lot of space for preparation and reflection."
Gifts to the endowment are still being accepted and any donation over the $5 million mark goes toward future patient care at the facility which would not be covered by patient insurance. To donate or for more information, call the Lourdes Foundation at 270-444-2381.

Eating disorders don't come out of nowhere. Our symptoms happen for a reason. We will explore how you came to have an unhealthy relationship with food and your own body. By unraveling the mystery behind your symptoms, you will begin to heal, and food will become less important with each passing day. You will come to understand that food was never really the answer, even if your entire life revolves around food today. I will help you to understand how to feel your feelings, live your life, and learn to trust in relationships and people instead of food. You are in charge - the food doesn't really have the power that we allow it to have. Let me help you in this healing process. Just ask

Eating disorders are a broad spectrum of "too much" behaviors. They can stem from always seeing that image of that potato chip and not being able to say "no". Or they may be much more serious. Indeed in my 20 year experience, eating problems are not usually related to food, but are related to unresolved or suppressed emotions. Using advanced techniques, we aim for a personal and confidential release of those emotional weights, freeing you to make healthier and ultimately beneficial choices.

Division of Pulmonary Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Nationwide Children Hospital/Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
SESSION TITLE: Hot Topics in Pediatic Pulmonology
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Slide
PRESENTED ON: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 01:45 PM - 03:15 PM
PURPOSE: It is known that children exposed to animals (dog, cat) may have increased respiratory symptoms in early life but such exposure as family pets may have a protective role in some against developing asthma. As prevalence of asthma is different in different ethnic populations, we hypothesized that differences in having pets at home may be one of the risk factor for differences in asthma prevalence in different ethnic populations.
METHODS: After local IRB approval, Pediatric Asthma Center was established at Nationwide Children's Hospital in 2010 and since then we have seen 542 patients which were included in this study. Families at their first visit were given a questionnaire which included information on ethnicity and presence of pet at home.
RESULTS: Out of 542 patients, 317 (58%) were males and 225 (41.4%) were females. Mean age in years was 7 ± 4, mean age at diagnosis was 2.7 ± 2.4 and mean duration of symptoms was 4.5 ± 3.7 years. 358 (66%) were Caucasian, 116 (21.4%) were African Americans and 35 (6.4%) were Hispanic. Among 542 patients, 318 (60%) had pet at home and among them 247 (46.5%) had dog and 112 (21%) had cat at home and 75 (22%) had both cat and dog. Out of 351 Caucasians, 247 (70.4%) had a pet at home, while out of 115 African Americans (AA), 45 (39%) had a pet at home while out of 34 Hispanics 16 (47%) had a pet at home thus significantly more Caucasians (compared to AA, or Hispanics) had pet at home (p<0.001). For dog , out of 351 Caucasians, 194 (55%) had a dog at home, comapred to 35 (30%) out of 115 African Americans, and 13 (38%) out of 34 Hispanics thus significantly more Caucasians (compared to AA and hispanics) had dog at home (p<0.001). For cat out of 351 Caucasians, 95 (27%) had a cat at home, compared to 9 (8%) of 115 African Americans and 3 (9%) of 34 Hispanics thus significantly more Caucasians (compared to AA and hispanics) had cat at home (p<0.001 for both). For both cat and dog out of 351 Caucasians, 65 (18%) had both cats and dogs at home, while out of 115 African Americans, 7(6%) and out of 34 Hispanics 3 (9%) had both cat and dog at home. Significantly more Caucasians (compared to AA and hispanics) had both cat and dogs at home (p=003).
CONCLUSIONS: More caucasians had pets at home which may play a role in decreased asthma prevalence in this group comapred to african americans and hispanics.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Differences in having pet at home may be playing a role in variations in asthma prevalence in different ethnic groups

Were you one of the 8000+ attendees or an exhibiting maker this past Saturday? Please…
Maker Expo is a diverse family-friendly showcase of makers, artists & organizations who create amazing things in celebration of the do-it-yourself spirit.
Our exhibitors are individuals, groups, teams and organizations sharing their ideas and creations through interactive exhibits, demos and workshops.
Our three tenets are inclusivity, diversity and interactivity. We want to have something for everyone to check out – young and old, from a wide range of disciplines and walks of life.
Our next event lands at Kitchener City Hall on Saturday September 10th, 2016.
The Maker movement is a loose-knit community of individuals, teams and organizations who are all creating things – whether it's something physical (like Robots, crafts or art installations) or virtual (Internet-based, software or services). The community is largely based on the free sharing of knowledge and skills, enabling others to turn their ideas into a reality.
The 'Maker' term was originally popularised by Make Magazine (and by extension Maker Faire), however it's taken on a life of its own as a global movement, catering to an infinite variety of interests and fields.
Agnes Niewiadomski
Agnes Niewiadomski graduated from OCAD University's Sculpture/Installation program in 2008 and hasn't stopped making things since. She has a deep interest in materials and processes, and a love-affair with CNC fabrication. Agnes always seems to have an impressive project in the works, whether it's laser cutting over-sized flowers for a scenic display, or meticulously shaping delicate sugar flowers for a wedding cake.
Agnes' desire to share her wealth of knowledge has led her down the path to create Mindful Makers, a camp for the curious and creative. Her educational programs teach hands-on maker skills to children (and adult classes coming soon). Her aspirations are to spread the joy of maker culture, and to empower people with skills to lead life with a DIY ethic.
Check out her online portfolio at agnesmakes.com
Ben Brown
A Kitchener-born maker in an epic quest for truth and fun.
Ben is a computer guy, web developer, community volunteer and organizer – but not necessarily in that order. He likes to see awesome things happen in Waterloo Region and does his best to help make them a reality.
He's a co-founder and was a longtime director of Kwartzlab Makerspace in Kitchener, and has helped organize other local maker events in the past, including SoOnCon and Waterloo Mini Maker Faire 2013. He was also a Trustee with the KW Awesome Foundation, who gives away $1,000 every couple months to cool and interesting local projects.
Cam Turner & Tanya Morose
Cam and Tanya are the co-founders of MakerClub for Kids at THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener and also a new venture called Tinker Truck. Both Cam and Tanya grew up with hammers in their hands and dirt under their fingernails and enjoyed families that always strived for a do-it-yourself approach. They've tried everything from making preserves in the summer to undertaking multi-year major additions at the cottage.
In 2013, with kids of their own, they decided to form MakerClub as an organization of equally adventurous parents who wanted their kids to grow up with a confidence for "trying anything." The club currently meets once a month to teach kids as young as five how to use real tools like power saws and soldering irons. Meetings now regularly sells-out days in advance and topics have included robotics, 3D modelling and screen printing. In 2015 they expanded on the club into a full time business called Tinker Truck serving community events (like Maker Expo!), schools, libraries and even birthday parties. Their goal is to expand the availability of Science and Engineering based children's programming in Ontario.
Check them out at www.makerclub.ca and www.tinkertruck.ca.
Jennifer van Overbeeke
Jen is a local artist / maker. She shares her art through In Paper Dreams, her whimsical papercut greeting card and art business. She also loves building community. You can find her at events throughout the region, making awesome stuff, usually out of cardboard or paper.

Darcy Casselman
Former Kwartzlab president, community contact for Ubuntu Canada and professional software developer, Darcy is passionate about making Waterloo Region even more awesome than it already is. He's managed Kwartzlab's social media accounts since its inception and will be coordinating Maker Expo's social media presence through the event.
Darin White
Darin "DW" White is a long-time maker, living in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He is the creative guerrilla behind makebright.com, partnering with an associated posse of smart people to do cool stuff.
The Venn Diagram of his life is the intersection of photography, making, arts, tech, and community. He works hard to eke out a living telling the stories of Waterloo Region. He is a quasi-veteran of makerly events as both exhibitor and attendee. He thinks it's entirely possible to build the community in which you want to live. You show up and then you get to work.
Neil Eaton
Neil's dad handed him a hammer to keep him quiet when he was 4. It didn't work, but it did start a lifelong love of making, fixing and modifying things. He works in wood and metal as a hobby and in electronics and software professionally. He enjoys 3D printing, robotics, photography, home renovation, reading and learning new skills. For the last year or so Neil has been an active member of Kwartzlab where he tries valiantly, if not always successfully, to reign in the chaos in the lab's woodworking and metal shop.
Neil is an engineer who works as an independent consultant out of Waterloo. He is married and has 3 sons.
Ravi Baboolal
At a young age, Ravi saw some robots fighting on TV and thought to himself 'Man that's cool' and suddenly became a maker! That day served to push him into the world of robotics and thus maker life. At age 12 he began building robots, learning the skills of the trade. The robots started small and soft but soon grew to new levels seeking competitions in Toronto as well as the United States. At age 15 he started working at a paintball field, repairing equipment and building a name for himself as one of Toronto's master tech's. He finds great personal satisfaction to compete with something he's built with his own two hands.
Ravi's education and career path were molded 14 years ago, in front of that TV. Now at 26 years old he is still building and fighting robots that are even bigger and deadlier, competing annually throughout the USA proudly representing Team Canada. During the day he makes waves in the foundry industry as an Mechanical Engineer pushing the envelope of an ancient industry with new technology and radical ideas. Additionally he works closely with the maker community as one of Kwartzlab's directors and dedicated member. As a heavily involved maker, he seeks new and exciting ways to expand, strengthen, and connect the maker community.
Ravi finds that if you can wash your hands clean at the end of a project it's because you just weren't being creative enough — at the very least some scrubbing should be required.
Tyler Jacques
Data analyst by day, entrepreneur / renovator / real estate investor by night. Tyler grew up in the arts and comes from an operations and analysis background. He helped build a company called QuickContractors.com that connects people with reliable contractors, has worked as a graphic designer, yield analyst, and a data analyst.
Tyler's driving force is creating, making, and building. He always has a few projects on the go, whether it's restoring an old cedar strip canoe, house hunting, or brainstorming a new business idea. He's passionate about being involved in the many interesting and unique communities that make the Waterloo region special.

Know Your Rights
DUI is a Criminal Offense – It Should Not be Taken Lightly
You probably have seen the state's Expect the Max advertising campaign against DUI's. We strongly disagree with the state's position. Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C. will aggressively fight for you!
Each DUI is Unique
Each Driving Under the Influence (DUI) has essentially two cases: A criminal court case and an MVD case. Both cases can have separate and related consequences, including, but not limited to, jail time, harsh monetary penalties, and driver's license implications.
There are lots of places you can get general information about these consequences. One more website (even if it's ours) isn't going to answer those unique and personal questions that you're going to have. Our website is designed to make you feel more comfortable with our law firm. We'll convey the legal advice to you personally.
That being said, no two DUI arrests are the same. Each case has its own unique set of circumstances and issues to be researched. The state must follow specific evidentiary guidelines when conducting a DUI investigation. Additionally, you have numerous constitutional rights that must be protected. Oftentimes, the difference between a good result and a bad result rests in one of the slightest details. Therefore, it is critical to have an attorney who understands all aspects of a DUI and will fight to protect your rights.
What to Do if Stopped for a DUI
- Conduct yourself in a polite, courteous and cooperative manner.
- Provide license, registration and proof of insurance when requested.
- Invoke your right to remain silent.
- Demand an immediate, private and free call to an attorney. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Volquardsen are available 24 hours a day at 602.327.1179
- Ask for a sample of your blood, breath or urine to be preserved for an independent testing.
- Invoke your right to obtain an independent chemical test of your blood or urine.
- Contact Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C. for a free case evaluation and to avoid an automatic driver's license suspension.
- Don't perform any coordination, balance or eye tests.
- Don't submit to a Portable Breath Test (A PBT is a portable, handheld breath testing device). A PBT is different than an Intoxilyzer the actual machine that the officer may have you breath into later.You should contact an experienced DUI attorney to advise you whether you should submit to a later blood or chemical test.
- Don't consent to a search of your person or your car.
Contact Us
DUI convictions in the state of Arizona carry serious penalties, so if you are facing alcohol-related driving charges of any kind, it's important that you get help from an experienced Arizona DUI lawyer. Get dedicated legal help today by calling Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., at 602-510-9999.

I started Invisalign on 10.15.13, 13 trays total top and bottom. I had braces 10 years ago but never wore my retainer so I decided to try this product. I am now on tray #6 and have seen no visible results. I am assuming that my back teeth have moved since the trays fit after 2-3 days. I mainly only want to push my front and lower incisor back into place however the clincheck shows that won't happen until the very end of treatment. The animation shows the top and bottom arches being expanded a bit and my premolars are being pulled/twisted very minimally. I was going through my previous trays and was comparing Tray #1 to Tray #8 and only see very minor movement on a premolar. I decided to put on both top and bottom tray #1 just to see if it would fit and it popped in super easily. This made me worried seeing as how easy it went in and how it still fit. I'm spending almost 7k on this and am not sure if I will be one of those cases where I don't get the results that I want unfortunately.

What is a Fibrevore?Fibrevores need fibre to live healthy lives. What is a Fibrevore? Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas and Degus
In the wild they eat, mainly grass, leaves, vegetable matter and occasional twigs or bark. As prey animals they feed through taste and smell. Their vision is reserved for spotting predators (not looking at their food) Food colour is irrelevant to them.
They have small digestive systems and therefore constantly need the intake of fibre first and foremost. A digestive system without fibre fails and is fatal to your Fibrevore.
There is a massive health risk to your pet simply by feeding the wrong food. Fibrevores rely on fibre moving through their gut at all times. Digestible fibre and non-digestible fibre (beneficial) are essential for their nutritional needs. Beneficial fibre is vital for :
- Digestive health
- Dental health
- Emotional health
Unsure if your fibrevore is getting enough fibre? Speak to the Scampers Pet Care Advisors about the Excel Feeding Plan. Scampers is located between Newmarket and Ely on the A142 Soham By-Pass.

secure checkout
I tried to check out today with items in my cart and the website doesn't have an https intro to show that it's secure on the page where my credit card info goes.
I am pretty sure it used to be secure -- has anyone checked out on the new site and was it locked/protected/secured? (not sure the right word to use)
Also is there a customer service phone # that I can use? I can't find one on the site.
Please email me directly firstname.lastname@example.com and I will assist you.

We urge the Cracker Barrel Board to report the results of this investigation to shareholders in sufficient time for them to cast their votes for directors at the 2012 annual meeting. Shareholders have a fundamental right to know that the stewards of their investment have been chosen with great care and possess the requisite qualities of leadership.Furthermore, this proxy contest should have been avoided, for, in our view, we bring shareholder representation of 17.3%, including a long-term perspective, relevant industry experience, yet no business or legal conflicts. Because we are independent, we would critically and objectively discuss business issues. Patently, as the Company's largest shareholder, we are interested in finding ways to advance shareholder value. Moreover, the current proxy contest is centered on Phil Cooley's and my holding two board seats out of ten; that is, we are neither asking nor seeking board control or ownership control of Cracker Barrel.
We await your immediate response.CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS Biglari Holdings Inc., an Indiana corporation ("BH"), together with the other participants named herein, has made a preliminary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of a proxy statement and an accompanying proxy card to be used to solicit votes in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of individuals to the Board of Directors of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (the "Company") at the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. BH ADVISES ALL STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER PROXY MATERIALS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. SUCH PROXY MATERIALS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE ON THE SEC'S WEB SITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV. IN ADDITION, THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROXY SOLICITATION WILL PROVIDE COPIES OF THE PROXY STATEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST. REQUESTS FOR COPIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE PARTICIPANTS' PROXY SOLICITOR, MORROW & CO., LLC, TOLL-FREE AT (877) 849-0763, BANKS AND BROKERS CALL COLLECT AT (203) 658-9400. The participants in the proxy solicitation are BH, Biglari Capital Corp., a Texas corporation ("BCC"), The Lion Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Lion Fund"), Steak n Shake Operations, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Steak n Shake"), Sardar Biglari and Philip L. Cooley (the "Participants"). As of the close of business on October 5, 2012, BH owned directly 3,650,952 shares of Common Stock.

Mr. Biglari, as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of each of BH, BCC and Steak n Shake, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock directly owned by BH, the Lion Fund and Steak n Shake. As members of a "group" for the purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of the Participants is deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned in the aggregate by the other Participants.

Cincinnati-Florida State Women's Basketball Postgame Quotes
Nov. 13, 2013
Recap | Final Stats | Notes
Florida State vs. Cincinnati
Postgame Quotes
UC head coach Jamelle Elliot
Offensively we knew how we wanted to take their inside presence out of the game with Natasha Howard by doubling her and I thought we came out and played some really good basketball all the way up to the seven minute mark of the first half. After that I thought our offense became a little stagnant, we weren't moving as much and it showed.
We went into the locker room with a little bit of a deficit, made some adjustments and the first five minutes were a little shaky but after we got ourselves together I thought we were the best team on the floor for the remainder of the game.
I think we got a lot of things we can hold our heads on especially coming off that tough loss at Northern Kentucky on Saturday. I challenged them to do the little things like go after loose balls, box out, stay together as a team, get excited when we made good plays and they did that.
I think we did the little things today and at the end of the day Florida State is a good team they made their free throws down the stretch made some big shots and they came out on top. But I really believe if we had more time that game would have been a different outcome but that's why you play the game."
On how they will manage teams that press:
"Well we had too many guy up the front-court and once we extended it after we made a couple adjustments I thought we didn't have as much trouble with the press. At the time we were up we had two freshmen in the game and this was a big time game for the freshmen that are going to help us out tremendously. But once we settled down I don't think the pressure hurt us a lot.
On if Kayla (Cook) taking the charge late in the second half will be the staple for them the entire season:
"Well that's how we always been, we've always been the type of team that will guard you and we are going to hold you under your average. Defensively we are going to make the hustle plays, we are going to take the charges and that's what allowed us to win games in the past that we weren't suppose to win. I don't want us to lose track of that now that we have more players, we have talented freshmen, we have some guys that can score but I still want to continue to hold Florida State who scored 93 points in their first game to 63 points."
#31, Dayeesha Hollins, G
"We got a little lackadaisical. We weren't doing the things that we were doing at the beginning of the half to get us the lead. We started turning the ball over a little bit and weren't looking inside or attacking as much. We weren't always on the attack so I think that is when they came back against us."
On what they will take from this game:
#33, Jeanise Randolph, F
"Honestly, in the first half I didn't touch the ball. I think we just weren't looking in enough, but then in the second half once we talked about it in the locker room they started looking in for me and I went from there. I think once they started looking in, people got open shots. It flowed better."
On their size:
#15, Alexis Durley, G
On the comeback:
On not giving up:

> P21S Windshield Washer Booster
P21S Windshield Washer Booster
Give windshield washer fluid an adrenaline rush! P21S Windshield Washer Booster will give your windshield the best protection against the elements.
Windshield washing gets a much needed boost with
Windshield Washer Booster,
an incredible new product from P21S, designed with the windshield fanatic in mind. When driving in the rain, oily rain film quickly turns into smear on your windshield, and regular windshield washer fluid can't handle the build up. The answer is simple.
Add a shot of P21S Windshield Washer Booster to regular windshield washer fluid
and start seeing clearly again! Here are reasons why this product measures up when it comes to windshield protection:
Higher Level of Safety.
It's good to be cautious, especially while driving in dangerous conditions. Here in Florida we deal with strong spotty rain showers which affect our ability to see clearly. Adding P21S Windshield Washer Booster is like an adrenaline rush for washer fluid.
It will step cleaning up a notch, causing film, grime, and clouds to disappear.
Many customers also benefit from the added bonus of not having to replace windshield wipers as frequently.
Cuts through Grime.
Here's a scenario we all have been through. You just washed your car, and now you're taking it one the road for a spin. Suddenly…splat! A big bug just landed right on the windshield, and it doesn't want to wash it off with regular wiper fluid and wipers. This is a perfect time to add a shot P21S Windshield Washer Booster to your regular detergent.
Greasy film, insect smear, and salt films will be removed with this powerful booster.
From a Name You Trust.
P21S is a German company that makes an incredible line of car care products that is regarded highly in the industry. These products include
Total Auto Wash and Concours Carnauba Wax,
two of many products highly regarded as the best. Precision and perfection are two qualities of German design, and P21S Windshield Washer Booster reflects flawlessly upon the P21S name.
P21S is such a great addition to any windshield wiper fluid, so I thought it would be helpful to answer some commonly asked questions about it:
Can I use this product with any windshield washer fluid?
Yes, you can.
P21S Windshield Washer Booster will work with plain water and all anti-freeze washer fluids.
How do I know how much of the booster I add to my washer fluid?
P21S took the guesswork out of measuring. The bottle comes with a built in measuring cup that will ensure the perfect concoction for optimum performance.
250 ml (8.4 oz.) Measure Bottle
Manufactured in Germany.

This did indeed save a replacement of wipers. I didn't have a whole jug handy so I put a half shot in my car's dispenser and it works like a dream! Windshield is clear of grime and wipers are able to do their job. You need to buy this!

P21s Washer Booster
June 16, 2009
This stuff is great. It does just as it says it does, I've never found anything that I could add to my washer fluid to cut through the smeary mess on my windscreen. After being extremely impressed with the P21s 100% Carnauba Wax, I thought I'd give this a try. WOW! I'm so glad I found this, that I'm buying 4 bottles of it with my next order from AG!!! (one as a present for my uncle who was very impressed when I put a couple of "shots" in his reservoir (him and I have been on a mission against that evil film for a long time- untill now the only option was using a slightly abrasive waterspot remover paste, which neither of us felt was safe on the glass). 5* + from me!

Nothing else as good for rapid cleaning of windshield while on the go. Does leave a bit of powder off to the sides of the wiper sweep.

Works fantastic
May 8, 2007
I put the PS21 Windshield Washer Booster in two weeks ago. It lightly rained and WOW... the windshield was clean with no streaking. Works great at removing bugs from the windshield. It may be my imagination, but I was thinking about replacing my windshield wiper blades, but now no streaking and the work like new, no need to replace. I would highly recommend this product.

Highly Impressed
April 7, 2006
I was very skeptical when I purchased this stuff. I added this to my washer fluid a few days ago. I've had a few chances to use it over the past couple days and I am truely impressed. It seems to lubricate the windshield while disolving bug guts, bird droppings, or anything else that is on the windshield. I will definitely buy this again and again.

Field Hockey Claims Three Major Awards
College Field Hockey
Penas MAAC Co-Player of the Year
Hareau MAAC Rookie of the Year
Hussong MAAC Coach of the Year
10 Broncs MAAC All-Academic
LAWRENCEVILLE—The Rider University field hockey team took home three major awards it was announced Thursday evening at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference awards banquet, hosted at Rider, prior to the conference championship tournament.
Rider senior forward Sandra Penas (Barcelona, Spain) was named the MAAC Co-Player of the Year, freshman forward Nicole Hareau (Montevideo, Uruguay/Colegio Ingles) was named the MAAC Rookie of the Year and head coach Lori Hussong was named the Anaconda Sports MAAC Coach of the Year.
Penas leads the league in assists per game with 0.68 finishing the regular season with 13 assists, the highest in the MAAC. Her assists per game mark is currently eighth best in the nation. She finished the regular season with 1.63 points per game for a total of 31 points which is tied for the highest in the league.
"I'm so happy for Sandra," Hussong said. "This has been a tough year for her; she is getting double and triple teamed but she has never, ever lost her spirit or her desire to excel. Player of the Year is quite an accomplishment. I'm proud of everything she has done for our program."
"I got really excited when I heard my name," said Penas. "I wasn't expecting it. These awards are awesome but the most gratifying things are the team championships, four regular season titles and so far, the three conference championships. I hope the culmination of my career will result in a fourth conference title."
Penas was named the 2013 MAAC Preseason Player of Year as well as MAAC Offensive Player of the Week for the weeks of Sept. 23 and Oct. 8.
"I feel really honored," Penas added. "I could not have accomplished this without my team."
Hareau, from Montevideo, Uruguay, leads the MAAC in goals with 15 and ranks second in the league and 14th nationally in goals per game with 0.79. She finished her rookie campaign with 30 points, just one point behind the conference leaders. Hareau was named MAAC Rookie of the Week four times this season.
"I'm going to give all the credit to assistant coach Dan Hussong on Nicole's development," Lori Hussong said. "He's done an awesome job recruiting and Nicole has had a great freshman campaign. Scoring 15 goals is hard to do and we are looking forward to seeing her three more seasons in a Rider uniform."
"I feel really honored," Hareau said. "Any of the freshmen in the league could have won it. This is a team award; I could not have scored without my teammates playing hard and getting me the ball. This is more recognition for the team and not for me personally."
Since 1998, this is Rider's eighth conference Rookie of the Year award, including current assistant coach Virginia Egusquiza in 2008, Marlaine Schneider in 2009 and Penas in 2010.
"Being compared to either Virginia or Sandra, that's insane," Hareau added. "They are excellent players and I just look up to them. It just shows the international players that they can have a successful career in the United States."
Hussong, currently in her 14th season at Rider, led the Broncs to a 5-1 conference record and an overall mark of 13-6. Rider won the MAAC regular season title and earned a number one seed in the championship.
"It's a real honor to be voted by your peers as Coach of the Year," Hussong said. "With the level of competition, this could have gone to any coach in the league. I'm happy and proud that Rider has done so well and I'm just a beneficiary of that effort."
The Broncs have now qualified for 14 conference playoffs under Hussong's leadership. This is the fifth time since 2003 that Hussong has earned conference Coach of the Year accolades.
"It's not about me winning Coach of the Year," Hussong added. "It is about the team qualifying for the playoffs and doing the best we can at the end of the season."
Joining Penas on the All-MAAC First Team from Rider was senior midfielder Alicia Govannicci.
Govannicci (Springfield, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) enters the tournament tied for 21st on Rider's all-time scoring list and was a preseason First Team All-MAAC honoree. This season, she has started all 19 games and has three goals and five assists.
Earning Second Team All-MAAC honors for the Broncs was Hareau, freshman midfielder Carlota Alsina (Barcelona, Spain), sophomore midfielder Rachel Ippolite (Woolwich Twp./Kingsway Regional), junior defender Stacey Dileo (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde) and junior defender Dezarae Fillmyer (Roebling/Florence).
Alsina has played in 17 games, making 15 starts and is second on the team with 10 assists, 16th best in the nation.
Ippolite has played in all 19 games, making 16 starts and has two goals and a defensive save this season.
Dileo has started all 19 games on the back line and had defensive saves in Rider wins at Villanova and at Colgate.
Fillmyer, who scored twice this season, has started all 19 games on the back line, helping to anchor the Bronc defense and had a defensive save at the end of the second overtime at Bryant that sent the game into penalty strokes.
Rider also placed 10 players on the MAAC All-Academic team, including Penas, Govannicci and Fillmyer.
Joining them as academic honorees with a 3.20 grade point average or higher was senior Kristine Dougherty (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) and Shari Grinceri (Hammonton/St. Joseph's), juniors Katie Fanning (Bridgewater/Bridgewater-Raritan), Laura McCormick (West Windsor/W. Windsor-Plainsboro HS South), Karly Ossowski (New Egypt) and Rachel Schwab (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) and sophomore Joelle Prettyman (Newark, Del./St. Mark's).
"I'm just as proud for what the team has accomplished in the classroom," Hussong said. "The team exemplifies what a student-athlete should be."
Fanning is an Elementary Education/Psychology major with a 3.69 grade point average, Schwab is a Human Resource Management major with a 3.58 g.p.a., McCormick is an Elementary Education/Psychology major with a 3.56 grade point average, Ossowski is a Communication major with a 3.54 g.p.a., and Prettyman is a Liberal Arts major with a 3.53 grade point average.
Fillmyer is an Elementary Education major with a 3.48 grade point average, Govannicci is an Elementary Education/Psychology major with a 3.47 g.p.a., Dougherty is a Business Administration major with a 3.47 grade point average, Grinceri is a Psychology major with a 3.31 g.p.a., and Penas is a Business Administration/International Business major with a 3.25 grade point average.
Rider hosts the four-team MAAC Championships November 8-9 on Ben Cohen Field.
"The league was tough this year," Hussong said. "As the tournament goes on, anyone can win it. We have to play at the top of our game to accomplish our goal."
In the opening MAAC semifinal on November 8, #3 Bryant University will face #2 Quinnipiac University, Friday at 3 p.m. In the second semifinal, top seed Rider will host #4 seed Robert Morris University at 6 p.m.
"We have to play our best in every game," Penas said. "We have to give 100 percent because the tournament is wide open."
The championship game is Saturday, November 9 at 3 p.m. The Broncs have made the conference championship game in 11 of the last 13 years and Rider is looking to advance to the NCAA Play-In game for the fourth consecutive season.

Charlotte Olympia has won over fashion hearts with her colourful pumps and the belief that 'the higher the heel, the better you feel'. Now her ultra-feminine line extends to clutches and feline flats, which share the same whimsical energy.

conductor crimp widths : 1.41mm and 1.56mm for the TWO position crimper. AND 1.69mm, 1.93mm and 2.18mm for the THREE position crimper. I did not measure the strain relief crimp widths.
For comparison, using the same method for the PA-09, I get 0.99mm, 1.41mm, 1.53mm, and 1.86mm for dies nominally "1.0mm", "1.4mm", "1.6mm" and "1.9mm" respectively
I used my best caliper measuring technique, but the "inside" prongs on hand calipers are notoriously lacking in accuracy, and I don't have a set of precision gauges.
Just received these today, a few days after receiving two other crimpers from Pololu.
The Pololu crimpers http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1929 $29.95 and http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1928 $34.95 have a better build quality and a more advanced ratcheting mechanism, as well as being designed to crimp both the conductor and strain relief in one pass.

Did I miss something or did the price just jump up?
No public wish lists :(
