Family still pleading for witnesses to come forward in unsolved Waterford death
When Baljita Gutierrez looks at her grandchild, who resembles her late son, her heart aches.
"Three years and it's still the same," she said sadly. After just the first year, police have said little new about the case.
On Nov. 12, 2009, Baljita's husband, Ruben Gutierrez Sr., came home to find the couple's 24-year-old son, Ruben, lying on the floor in the family's Waterford Township home. He called Baljita, who rushed home from her job.
Ruben Gutierrez Jr. — who lived with his parents on Cass Lake Road — had died of multiple gunshot wounds after being shot with a high-powered rifle.
Police said Gutierrez frequented CJ's Upper Deck Bar on the corner of Elizabeth Lake Road and M-59.
No one has been arrested in the case. A $10,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever is responsible for the death of Gutierrez Jr. When announcing the reward, his mother shared the memory of her last conversation with her son.
In April, Crime Stoppers of Michigan erected a billboard showing Ruben's photograph directing people to call in tips. Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit organization that works to fight crime.
"Even after three years, every day our thoughts are of our son," said Ruben Gutierrez Sr.
"They say that time can heal wounds. We have yet to realize this. The sleepless nights, the many tears, and the pain — the emptiness we feel in our lives is very tough to bear. Our innocence was stolen from us on that day (Ruben was killed). We will never again be able to look at the world or feel the same way about life ever again."
Baljita, who works as a therapist, said, "This is a solvable murder." Continued...
The family moved out of the home where the killing occurred. They are living in an apartment temporarily and trying to find another home.
Baljita wants to be able to tell her grandson what happened to his father.
"The hardest times for me are on Ruben's birthday, his death day and all holidays," she said, crying softly.
"I would like this case solved, to have closure."
Said Gutierrez Sr., "The person or persons responsible for this must be brought to justice."

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Waterford Police Detective Greg Drumb at 248-618-6053 or Sgt. William Dolehanty at 248-618-6057. People with information should please send it to both officers or call the TIP Line at 248-674-COPS to stay anonymous.

text: phorum - Early Childhood - Re: Physical Development Early Childhood New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search Newer Topic | Older Topic Physical Development Author: DJ's Mum Date: 22-03-10 10:57 My darling 5 year old DJ was assessed last year and we are both very happy with the outcome of gifted with Aspergers traits as well. She has settled brilliantly at school and we seem to have a great teacher (so far!!!) so mentally,socially,emotionally we are doing ok. (I must say this is a huge relief to me). Anyway, my issues I wanted to throw out there today are about physical development associated with above diagnosis. My daughter toilet trained late at 3 1/2 and we are showing NO signs of being dry at night. I am at all stressed about this but wonder sometimes whether I could be doing anything to help things along. Like most gifted kids, she takes at least an hour to go to sleep then sleeps like a rock for 11 hours. If she gets disturbed during the night she takes another hour to settle again so I am totally reluctant to be getting her up in the night. Any thoughts???? I also have another issue which is my girl has underarm body odour. Again we manage it but I do wonder, does this mean early puberty?? She has had since she was about 3. Has anyone else had this? Is it related to her diagnosis??? Thanks for your opinions. Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: SW Date: 22-03-10 11:24 Hi, there. Children differ in the ages at which they are dry at night. My gifted son was toilet trained around 3 yrs but was not dry at night until almost 8. Of his two sisters, one was trained around 2 and night-dry by 3, the other toilet trained at 3 and night-dry by 6. Physical development may well be out of kilter with intellectual development with gifted children, part of the whole asynchronous development. CAn't help with the underarm odour issue, but one of my girls developed extraordinarly greasy hair at around 9 years of age - to the point that the hairdresser who cut her hair commented she had never seen such a 'bad case' (not diplomatically either, as she said it in front of my daughter!) and my dd was distinctly unpleasant to stand beside if she hadn't washed her hair that morning. (She, of course, hated washing her hair!) The over-production of oil is apparently a pre-puberty thing. She did go through puberty early, around age 11. Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Joanne Date: 22-03-10 16:04 Hi there My 8 year old DD is not yet reliably dry at night. She went for long stretches during the holidays when she was dry (10+nights) but once school and after-school activities started she went back to 2-3 dry nights a week. My hubby and I were both bedwetters as kids and statistically any off-spring have something like a 75% chance of having the same problem. We have an electronic wireless alarm, but decided that the disruption to her (and our) sleep was not worth it at the stage we tried it. (You need to be disciplined about following the procedure that goes with the alarm). Fatigue management is really important for this child (or her behaviour goes to custard) so we abandoned the alarm, and went back to disposable pull-up things. We might try the alarm again in the holidays. Our other gifted child was dry at night pretty much at the same time she came out of nappies and has never had a wet night since. Can't help with the underarm issue sorry. I'd be inclined to check that out with your GP I think. Best wishes Joanne Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Linda Date: 22-03-10 16:08 Hi DJ's mum, I hope you've mentioned the perspiration problem to DJ's doctor and they've ruled out a thyroid issue. On the other point. My HG DS was dry at night at 3 1/2 but my unassessed DD is not at over 4yo so I don't think there's much rhyme or reason to it. If it's only a night thing it's pretty easy to take a 'wait and see' approach (except of course, the cost of nappies and getting ones to fit the sturdy child -mine!). HTH Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Victoria Date: 27-03-10 21:08 Hi, I wouldn't worry unduly, a female family member was still having the occasional night-time accident at 10. she was a very intense child and when I became aware of "giftedness" because of my own children, she seemed like a good fit to me. When she did finally pass out for the night she slept so deeply that it would have taken a bulldozer to wake her up and the signals from the bladder just didn't seem to arrive at her sleeping brain. For the record, she is now in her twenties and as far as I know, is dry at night! Also passing all her subjects at uni. So unless there is some other concern? I agree with the other posters re the underarm issue, it seems unusual for a 5 year old. Great that school is going so well though! Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: mumofthree Date: 27-04-10 21:11 Hi re the bedwetting: My son was toilet trained at "usual age" about two and a half- 3 years but he was wet nearly every night till age 6. Then we decided to try the alarm thing, and I was slightly daunted by it, thought it would be a huge hassle etc. But you know,we weren't that exact about it and it worked like an absolute charm. In a short space of time, maybe two weeks or so, he was completely dry, and has probably only had a couple of accidents since, and that was about 18 months ago. So, if you wanted to try the alarm I don't think you have much to lose. My daughter was dry about 3 and a half at night, but she has occasional lapses, I think sometimes linked to urinary irritation. I will try her on the alarm once she's 6 or so if she isn't reliably dry by then(they don't recommend using it on younger kids as most outgrow bed wetting on their own, apparently) Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Chris Date: 15-07-10 22:32 Re bedwetting, if you are doing all the drinking during the day, cutting down or out at night and she is still wet it is not the right time yet. My ds is almost 10 and day has been ok since 2 but night not yet. He'll get there... Re the underarm, a swab will probably be useful too. There can be some interesting bacteria that develop in warm places and some are certainly smelly. Good luck Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Joanne Date: 19-07-10 16:43 Hi I have 2 2E (gifted and Aspergers) boys, and have just got them dry at 11 and 17 using the alarm system. It was a miracle. I would reccomend this to anyone to have a go, don't let it go until17!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FYI I also have soiling issues, which they say means they are not ready to try for dry...I tried anyway, and my 17yo was dry pretty much straight off. Although he still has some daytime soiling issues, it actually helped this too. If you want to know more, I have recently had an article printed about it in the Autism NZ Auckland branch newsletter Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Anon Date: 20-07-10 13:37 Hi, I admittedly haven't really done my homework or read around the topic of physical milestones and giftedness but would be interested in feedback on what is 'typical'. My husband and I find it incredibly frustrating that our son doesn't seem to want/be interested in/be able to do what we consider quite easly physical tasks. He is 3yrs 3mths and not toilet trained. We know he can do it because he had a burst of 4 days where he was really into it with no accidents then he totally lost interests and all or out inducements/bribes begain to fail eg. TV, jellybeans. So, back in nappies. Aside from that, we seem to have to really push him to try and do even the smallest of tasks that I know his peers are doing eg. opening his water bottle, taking lids off his pens or lunch containers, peeling a banana. It becoms a real drama but we try to get him to do as much for himself as possible. He isn't overly confident on the playground either but is becoming more so with age. We thought that perhaps in the past we did too much for him and that was why he wasn't doing things for himself now and had a few comments in the past from his old daycare that he wasn't as independent as his peers. He is so capable in other areas i.e. can read 5yr old readers and is obssessed with maths. Is this typical for 'giftedness' or have we just catered to his whims too much? Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: AnonMum Date: 21-07-10 12:08 Hi. We were told our dyspraxic, gifted son had Asperger's traits, possibly Asperger's syndrome. On his eighth birthday he was still not dry at night and we (his parents) had become really stressed about it thinking he would be one of the very tiny number of adults who wets the bed, especially as there was no family history there at all. We were so worried for him. Then our occupational therapist pointed out that with sensory overload being an issue due to the Aspergers and also low muscle tone due to the dyspraxia, he would be almost certain to be a very deep sleeper (which of course we knew to be true) with a weak muscle controlling his bladder, both of which add up to bedwetting. We decided to start lifting him around 11pm and taking him to the toilet (although he never woke up but usually produced something) which we had given up a couple of years earlier due to no progress. (It did help to know that he usually wet around 11pm, so we had a good starting point). After a couple of weeks, he started being dry after 11 as long as we had managed to get him to wee when we lifted him. Then we decided the trick was to lift him 15 minutes earlier each week, gradually stretching the period of time he could stay dry until EVENTUALLY it was the entire night. We had worried that getting him to wee while still sound asleep would actually be counterproductive, training him to wee in his sleep rather than wake up, but those fears turned out to be unfounded. Suddenly we had success and there has been no turning back. Maybe it was the right time, who knows. There are also exercises an OT can prescribe that strengthen the muscles, which was the next thing we were going to try. A friend of mine had success with hypnotherapy but it was very expensive and there are a lot of quacks in that field. Reply To This Message Re: Physical Development Author: Michelle Fitzsimons Date: 11-02-11 21:34 Hi, The wetting thing is very complex and related to many factors. After many discussions with a urologist, he said something that stuck in my brain. The most important physical factor is the urine concentrating hormone that our bodies develop. 100% of newborns don't have it and 99% of 15 year olds do, and there is little you can do about it. My 14 year old (bright, not tested - but so similar to everything I have just read on here OMG!) daughter, has just stopped wetting at night. She was very slow in her physical development, but started talking at 7 months. My 12 year old, undiagnosed but definatley hardwork, bright borderline Aspie with Type One Diabetes, squint, and auditory processing disorder was dry very early on. She had a test done when she was nearly four, was biting and aggressive. 130 IQ, but the lady said that was as high as she could test. Very uneven development. My son - who is driving me to distraction - has just toilet trained himself at 19months. However he doesn't have the physical skills to manage his own clothing?? Am new to this site and am nodding my head so very much to what I am reading. Son 20 months now, never slept, due partially to reflux and dairy intolerance. Could read some numerals and letters at 10months, 's', 'm', '6' and '2' Starting walking (running) then as well and has never stopped. His language development is not as advanced as the girls' was, however he says a lot and very loudly, but it is not always clear. He understands everything I say to him. He counts to twenty (he calls tenten) and loves seeing, reading and playing around with numbers. Physically, I swear he is nearly running faster than me, loves balancing, climbing, accurate ball skills, jumps with 2 feet, gallops to slow himself down. Has no fear. Melatonin in tiny doses (unprescribed - scored off another parent) has helped with his sleeping. I'm praying he becomes like his sister, needs an hour of reading, then sleeps like a log (not even smoke alarms in the same room will wake her) Am at Playcentre with him - which is fantastic at the moment. Not sure what the future will hold?

Diabetes is the percentage of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have diabetes, excluding pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes. Diabetes was changed in the 2011 Edition from a supplemental measure to an outcome measure to account for the impact of treating and managing chronic diseases in the U.S. The ranks are based on the preceding year's data from CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The BRFSS telephone survey has traditionally been completed by people using landlines. During the fielding of the 2011 BRFSS, the methodology was updated to include cellular telephones due to the large number of households that contain only cellular telephones and no landline telephones. Because of these changes, estimates of diabetes prevalence from the 2012 Edition onward cannot be compared to estimates from previous years. Shifts in estimates from previous years may be the result of the new methods, rather than measurable changes in the percentages.
Diabetes is often an outcome of an unhealthy lifestyle and increases one's risk of developing many other diseases and complications. There are three major types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Of these, type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of all cases. Type 2 diabetes is a largely preventable progressive disease that is managed through lifestyle modifications and health care interventions. It is a major cause of heart disease and stroke as well as the leading cause of kidney failure, non-traumatic lower-limb amputations, and blindness in adults[1]. Overall it is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. and contributes to the first and third leading causes of death, stroke and heart disease respectively.[2] Direct medical costs for type 2 diabetes exceed $100 billion and account for $1 of every $10 spent on medical care in the U.S.[3]
Studies have shown that the onset of type 2 diabetes can be prevented through weight loss, increasing physical activity, and improving dietary choices.[4]-[5] Type 2 diabetes is associated with numerous modifiable risk factors such as smoking, obesity, physical activity, and diet which make it an ideal target for prevention.[6] The National Diabetes Prevention Program was created to bring evidence-based interventions to prevent diabetes to communities across the country. More information on prevention is available at www.cdc.gov/diabetes/projects/prevention_program.htm. Additional diabetes information is available at the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, CDC (www.cdc.gov/diabetes/ and www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/publications/aag/ddt.htm) and the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org/).

"Young people need to understand that the financial decisions they make today can impact the rest of their lives," said Johns. "At Wells Fargo, we want to equip all our young people with the tools they need to succeed financially. We hope that these students develop life-long, positive financial habits as a result of what they learned."
"I am so grateful that Wells Fargo took the time to invest in the future of our students by educating them on the importance of financial responsibility," said Lisa Smith, business teacher and Future Business Leaders of America advisor for Sonoraville High School.
Customized for various age groups from children to adults, Wells Fargo's Hands on Banking program is fun, interactive and teaches fundamental money management basics that are crucial to achieving financial success.
According to a 2011 Wells Fargo study, customers who completed online financial education programs demonstrated a 51.2 percent improvement in bankruptcy rates compared to customers who did not. Also, the increase in FICO scores for the customers who completed the program was 240 percent better than the increase for those who did not participate.
Considering that students accrue an average of $4,100 in credit card debt and more than $25,000 in student loan debt by the time they graduate from college (FinAid.org and Institute for College Access and Success), it's more important than ever for young people to learn the basics of budgeting, saving and managing credit.
The National Endowment for Financial Education reports that teenagers spend more than $172 billion per year, which is double the amount ten years earlier. Yet, according to a 2011 study, only 32 percent of 18-year-olds know how credit card interest and fees work (Charles Schwab). That's compared to 43 percent in 2007.
Teach Children to Save Day is an annual, national campaign that was created 16 years ago by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation.

Latvian National Opera, Riga Das Rheingold Riga Opera Festival |
Latvian National Opera |
Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Tuesday 4-Jun-13 07:00pm The dwarf Alberich renounces love and steals the gold guarded by the maidens of the Rhine. He forges a magic ring from the gold, but it soon becomes the object of desire by Wotan, ruler of the gods, who wants to save his wife's sister from the giants. The infuriated Alberich lays a curse on his lost treasure – anyone who possesses it will eventually meet their doom… "The characters in this play about the Ring take every means to obtain power and the right to construct a reality which seems meaningful to them. Even the ruler of the gods, the creator of all that is real and the guardian of its order, finds himself entrapped in the artificiality of his own reality. Throughout the play, moments of strength and beauty, truth and genuineness are exposed as sorry efforts of his conceitedness. The gods have never been so committed to humanity and the humans have never been more at the mercy of the gods – ever since the day they fabricated the theatrical arena in which they continually display and invent themselves," says stage director Stefan Herheim of the production's concept.

Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Wednesday 5-Jun-13 06:00pm The young Siegmund doesn't even realise that he is the one who could save the gods from destruction. But his father Wotan, ruler of the gods, has given in to the desires of his jealous wife and sentences his son to death. Wotan's daughter interferes unexpectedly – the courageous Valkyrie Brünnhilde, whose heart has been overcome with compassion. However, the price to be paid for disobedience is high… "In his passionate musical drama Die Walküre, Wagner confronts issues such as adultery, incest, betrayal and murder. Almost all of these, however, are motivated by love. In his production, Viestur Kairish focuses on the existential conflict between love and politics. The battle is fought, won and lost in the privacy of Hunding's house as much as it is publically in an arena. It's a timeless conflict, as old as mankind itself, wrapped in the hypnotic beauty of Wagner's music," says dramaturge of the LNO production Jochen Breiholz. Image credit: (c) Andris Krieviņš | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga Siegfried Riga Opera Festival |
Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Friday 7-Jun-13 05:00pm Siegfried, the third opera of Richard Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen tetralogy, has all the ingredients of a gripping fairy tale: A naive hero grows up deep in the forest without parents. Not yet knowing what fear is, he kills the dragon Fafner and wins not only the magical ring which has the power to rule the world, but also Brinnhilde, the Valkyrie who sleeps on a mountain top surrounded by an impenetrable wall of fire. Wagner's music, a sublime web of leitmotifs, is as emotionally rich as it is dramatically thrilling. "Siegfried is a story about power and the battle for it. Being one of our most quintessential quests, it is always relevant, and never more relevant than today. Siegfried is specially trained and nurtured with one specific aim—as an instrument for acquiring power. However, the power of childishness and nature has survived in Siegfried, and that is what makes this character so fascinating," says Viestur Kairish. Image credit: (c) Gints Mālderis | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Sunday 9-Jun-13 03:00pm In Götterdämmerung, the work's essential conflict between the longing for love and the greed for power - which Wagner developed and deepened during the course of the Ring's previous operas Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, and Siegfried - comes to a shattering culmination. The hero Siegfried unknowingly betrays his bride Brünnhilde. She swears vengeance - and sets off a chain of tragic events that brings the world to an end. Image credit: (c) Gunārs Janaitis | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Wednesday 12-Jun-13 07:00pm Lucia di Lammermoor's plot is loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor. The fragile Lucia is caught in a feud between two noble Scottish families. Her dreams of happiness and love fall to pieces in the desperate race for power and fortune... Lucia di Lammermoor is Gaetano Donizzeti's most celebrated opera; the main reason for its popularity over nearly two centuries rests on one moment – the famous mad scene for the heroine ¬Lucia | ||

In this production by director Dmitri Bertman, the colorful interiors of Rome set the stage for the passions felt by the opera diva Floria Tosca and the artist Cavaradossi, as well as for the complex relationship between Tosca and secret-police chief Scarpia, which, in the last act, plays out in an environment certainly atypical of Puccini's operas: Tosca's subconscious.Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca is an intense tale of the battle between higher ideas and desires, the new and the old, and true love and true hate. | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga Dauka Riga Opera Festival |
Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Friday 14-Jun-13 07:00pm As in the previous season, the Latvian National Opera will continue the popularization of Latvian opera music. Andris Dzenītis is one of the most talented, multi-faceted and internationally successful new Latvian composers. The main character of his new opera is an archetypal hero forever searching for the end of the horizon, walking a path that forever runs through ectasy and catasrophe. In this take on the story, Dauka is no longer a naive child, but an adult, who leaves materialistic society behind only to be met with unsurpassable resistance in his challenging adventures in the vast spirit world. Poet Kārlis Vērdiņš' libreto is based on the classic children's tale by Sudraba Edžus, interweaving modern timbral and textural discoveries with a viscerally Latvian feeling. |

Clifton Park man, 22, who kidnapped and sexually abused three boys is sentenced to 20 years in jail
BALLSTON SPA — A serial sex offender who preyed on young boys will spend 20 years behind bars after pleading guilty to kidnapping and sex crimes.
Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III described Eric Loeser's crimes as "vile" and said the man should be "permanently removed from our community."
Loeser victimized three boys between 9 and 15 years old over the course of several years after befriending two of them as an emergency medical technician.
Loeser, 22, of Reed Lane in Clifton Park befriended a child's family in 2009 and began acting as the child's "big brother." According to the prosecutor, he encouraged the 9-year-old boy to claim his parents were abusing him and said he would adopt him. Then, over the course of several months, he sexually assaulted the boy.
Later, he befriended another 13-year-old by claiming he helped his friend with a medical emergency while he was an EMT. After befriending the boy, Loeser again encouraged the child to become "emancipated" from his family and come to live with him. Then Loeser sexually assaulted him.
Loeser was finally arrested after he kidnapped a 15-year-old boy from an Albany child care facility and kept him hidden away from law enforcement and other authorities who were searching for him. He traveled to Pennsylvania, Vermont and as far west as Buffalo, where he dumped the child at an apartment complex near the Canadian border.
While hiding the boy from authorities over the course of 20 days, he sexually assaulted the young teen multiple times.
"This predator's sexual attack on three boys is so vile, he should be permanently removed from our community," Murphy said. "Mr. Loeser's acts are textbook facts for a civil confinement case that the Attorney General's Office may wish to examine in the future."
Loeser had an accomplice in that kidnapping, Timothy Kaye, who already pleaded guilty to kidnapping and third-degree criminal sex act. He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 29 and is expected to face eight years in prison and 20 years of post-release supervision.
Loeser pleaded guilty to second-degree kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual act, third-degree criminal sexual act and second-degree sexual abuse, felonies. Continued...
"This conviction was only possible because of the incredible strength and the courage that the child victims had to come forward and report the defendant's abuse to authorities," Assistant District Attorney Michele Schettino said.

Jill Biden, second from right, sits with her husband, Vice President Joe Biden, and with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday. (Saul Loeb / AFP / January 22, 2013) |
Is Joe Biden married to a physician? You might have gotten that impression while watching television coverage of the inauguration. "Dr." Jill Biden's doctorate is in education, yet word obviously has been sent out from the White House that she should be accorded the honorific that appears on her White House biography.
The vice president's wife thus joins the select group of non-medicos who are routinely referred to as "Dr." in much the way that the late singer was denoted "Miss Peggy Lee." That select company also includes "Dr. Cornell West" (PhD from Princeton) and "Dr. Maya Angelou" (the recipient of a zillion honorary degrees).
Whether to refer to holders of non-medical doctorates as "Dr." long has bedeviled news organizations. Henry Kissinger and former ambassador to the U.N. Jeane Kirkpatrick sometimes got the honorific treatment, but not the late Sen. George McGovern, who held a PhD in history.
The New York Times, which continues to use courtesy titles in its news coverage, recently referred to former Secretary of State (and University of Denver PhD). Condoleezza Rice as "Ms. Rice" in a story about her new position as a CBS News commentator. But the Gray Lady in the past has described Jill Biden as "Dr. Biden," though she was "Mrs. Biden" in the paper's inauguration coverage.
A recent press release from the office of Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, a physician, was headlined: "Dr. Coburn's Statement on President Obama's Gun Control Proposals."
One might question the relevance of Coburn's medical practice (in which, by the way, he delivered more than 4,000 babies) to his views on gun control. But, for better or worse, referring to physicians as "Dr." regardless of the context is well entrenched in etiquette, just as priests are called "Father" even outside the confessional. I have lots of friends (and a brother-in-law) with PhDs; none of them expects to be addressed as "Dr." So what's up with Jill Biden?
A friend and fellow journalist told me that he often hears from members of under-represented groups (women, minorities) when he doesn't refer to a PhD from their group as "Dr." White male PhDs apparently are more nonchalant about their credentials, perhaps because they didn't have to strive as hard to obtain them. Whatever the explanation, it's ironic that the spouse of just plain "Joe" Biden should be described as "Dr." when so many other holders of advanced degrees in public life have to settle for "Mr." or "Ms."

CHESTER All 12,190 pounds of the worlds largest chocolate bar arrived on a truck at Columbus Elementary School on Wednesday.
At four feet wide, three feet high and 21 feet long, the chocolate bar is certified by Guinness World Records as the worlds largest. Or as preschooler Ruqayyah Allen put it, the bar is ginormous.
Worlds Finest Chocolate, which produces chocolate fundraising products, is showcasing the bar at more than 80 schools across the country as part of its Think Big, Eat Smart! tour. The purpose of the tour is to teach students about eating healthy and exercising daily.
The presentation began with a video emphasizing portion size and transitioned into a group-led dance routine.
I thought that was pretty fun, said a smiling Daniel Gomez, a sixth-grade student.
But the highlight of the tour, obviously, came at the end. Thats when the students got a chance to see the giant chocolate bar, which sat on a trailer in the parking lot.
Its really big, said Kamil Jihad, a sixth-grade student who first caught a glimpse of the bar during recess. Its huge.
The chocolate bar is intended to serve as an extreme example of portion distortion.
We learned that sugar is not great for you, second-grader Sah-mad Fountaine said. You can use strawberries and grapes (instead).
I learned that you could only eat certain portions of chocolate, added Jasmin Miller, a sixth-grade student. Youre supposed to eat certain portions of stuff. Its bad to have too much sugar.
The students did not get to taste the oversized chocolate bar, but instead received bite-size candy bars and jump ropes. After all, it was a lesson in portion size.

This first week of August marks World Breastfeeding Week. Breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months provides tremendous health benefits for your baby, because breast milk contains everything your baby needs – proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water – in just the right proportions.
Breast milk is the perfect nutritionally-complete food for babies and it's chock-full of antibodies that protect the baby from infections. Nursing babies are at decreased risk
- for respiratory illness
- sudden infant death
- syndrome (SIDS)
- childhood obesity
Nursing moms need to eat well to produce a sufficient supply of healthy breast milk, and protein is especially important. Nursing moms should drink/eat…
- at least 3 cups of milk
- 6+ ounces of lean protein (fish, poultry, lean red meats, eggs, cheese, beans/peas)
- 4+ servings of fruits
- 3+ servings of vegetables
- 8+ servings of grains (breads, cereals, rice and pasta)
Nursing moms need 500 additional calories and more than 10 cups of fluids each day to produce adequate milk for their babies. And don't forget to keep taking those prenatal vitamins!

Newmar is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Dutch Star and 2009-2010 Dutch Aire motorhomes, built on a Spartan chassis equipped with a Hendrickson independent front suspension. The front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. Continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to prevent the full release of the brakes. If the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further.

Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
CD (Item 490762) Grand Royal/Capitol, 2011 — Condition: New Copy
Hip hop lifers and genre-defiant pop art blenders The Beastie Boys deliver the Hot Sauce – either their 8th or 9th album in 25 years, depending on how you count the Mix Up instrumentals set – and it sounds to us like a return to the good times hip hop funk style-hopping that the Boys flaunted so brilliantly in the period from Check Your Head to Hello Nasty! Hot Sauce was initially solicited as Part 1 to be followed by a Part 2, but the album was put on hold while Yauch battled cancer, which gave the Beasties plenty of time to finess the material and release it as the definitive project we have here. It's solid stuff and a Beastie Boys album through-and-through – and they're as immune to trends as ever. Guests include Nas, Santigold and Switch. Tracks include "Make Some Noise", "Nonstop Disco Powerpack", "Too Many Rappers (New Reactionaries Version)" with Nas, "Lee Majors Comes Again", "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" feat Santigold, "Tadlock's Glasses", "The Lisa Lisa/Full Force Routine", "Here's A Little Something For Ya" and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

OSS/Linux Sound Driver
Manufacturer: 4Front Technologies
Price: $20 US
Reviewer: Jeff Tranter
Open Sound System (OSS) is a kernel-level sound card driver offered for a number of Unix-compatible operating systems by 4Front Technologies. OSS/Linux is the version for Linux systems. It's not surprising that Linux is supported, as the code was based on, and is compatible with, the sound driver included in the Linux kernel. The code is written by the same author, Hannu Savolainen, who continues to maintain the free version (OSS/Free).
I took advantage of 4Front Technologies' free trial offer to download and run the product for five days. If you decide to purchase it you receive a software license key that allows the software to run permanently.
I also downloaded the latest release of OSS/Linux (3.8-beta1-961205). I installed the software on a 166 MHz Pentium system with 32 megabytes of RAM running Red Hat Linux 4.0 and the 2.0.28 kernel. The sound card was a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 (Plug-and-Play version).
The package comes as a compressed tar file containing installation instructions and an install program. To install the software you have to run the install program as root. This invokes a curses-based user interface that helps you install and configure the driver for the sound card. I found it straightforward to use; my sound card and settings were all automatically detected. The install program noticed that I had the standard Linux kernel sound driver module installed and informed me that I needed to disable it. Deleting the kernel-loadable module for sound did the trick.
Once installed, the sound driver is loaded using the supplied soundon script. The driver is implemented as several loadable kernel modules. A soundoff script unloads the driver, if desired. Once loaded you can then run any of the existing Linux sound applications.
I tried a number of sound applications to play and record sound samples, play MIDI and MOD files and operate the mixer. In general, everything operated identically to the standard sound driver included with the Linux kernel. It provides control of the DSP device, FM synthesizer, mixer and MIDI bus interface.
I did find one bug. Apparently the MIDI driver didn't clean up resources it used. If it was unloaded, loading again would report that the I/O port was in use. I reported this to Tech Support by e-mail and received a response back within a few hours.
I downloaded the beta release of OSS/Linux in order to try a new feature, SoftOSS. To understand it, you need some background on how computers synthesize sound.
The first generation of computer sound cards used a technique called FM synthesis to generate computer music. This method is low in cost and requires little CPU power, but the music generated sounds like it was created by a computer and not a musical instrument.
Sampling techniques use a digital-to-analog converter to generate sound. This method can be very effective, as the sound of actual musical instruments can be digitized and used as samples. The disadvantage is that the digital-to-analog converters are expensive, so sound cards typically provide only one or two. Typical low end sound cards today provide both sampling and FM synthesis capability.
Wavetable synthesis cards combine the best of both techniques. They offer a number of channels (32 being typical). Each channel has its own digital-to-analog converter and dedicated memory on the sound card for storing sound samples. Hardware on the sound card does much of the work of mixing and playing the samples. The only disadvantage of wavetable cards is that the additional hardware makes them considerably more expensive. One such card, the Gravis UltraSound, is supported by the standard Linux kernel sound driver.
SoftOSS provides software emulation of wavetable synthesis using only a low cost (non-wavetable) sound card. It does so by using the spare memory and processing power of the host computer. By implementing at the kernel level the same application programming interface as the Gravis Ultrasound card, it allows existing applications written for this card to work with low end sound cards. The only catch is that you need adequate memory and CPU power, but most systems today can meet this requirement (a 40MHz 486 with 16MB of RAM was the minimum needed for the pre-release software I reviewed).
I configured the SoftOSS driver using the setting for Pentium 100+ machines and tried using some Linux applications that previously required a Gravis Ultrasound wavetable sound card.
The gmod program is a player for music files in MOD format. It operated quite well. This was not particularly impressive, because there are a number of MOD players for non-wavetable cards (e.g., tracker) that work just as well with the standard kernel sound driver.
Playing MIDI files was more interesting. MIDI is a very popular music file format among musicians, but MIDI file players I've come across before used the FM synthesizer on my sound card. Using SoftOSS, the playmidi program, and sound sample "patch" files downloaded from the Internet, there was a dramatic improvement in sound quality as compared to using FM synthesis. It actually sounded like real musical instruments.
Note that at the time of writing, SoftOSS was still in a pre-release beta state, and may be an extra cost option when purchasing OSS/Linux. For a beta release it looked quite stable, the only problem being some minor glitches in the sound produced.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?
