A bill that prohibits the director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources from issuing a permit or lease agreement to remove oil or natural gas from Lake Erie has been introduced in the state legislature.
State Representative Nickie Antonio (D – Lakewood) introduced the bill, which supporters say is needed despite a federal ban on drilling in the Great Lakes being in effect.
"Gone fishin''" – that was the status of a contingent of Genoa Care Center residents one recent Thursday morning.
On Aug. 11, Tom Wojciechowski welcomed Center residents for a few hours of fishing in the pond at his Genoa home.
Years ago, Oregon used to issue water advisories to residents restricting water usage when drought conditions prevailed during the summer months.
The city's water plant had a capacity of just eight million gallons per day, so it wasn't unusual for the city to try to limit water usage at the time, recalls Public Service Director Paul Roman.
Doctor needed on county health board

St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 9, 2010 – Three Web-based businesses located in Southern Illinois have come under criticism from customers who say they are not receiving purchased products and are unable to contact the operators of the sites.
The BBB urges caution when dealing with United Net Online (unitednetonline.com), Home and Garden Surplus (homeandgardensurplus.com) and Cairo Shopping Center (cairoshoppingcenter.com).
Home and Garden Surplus and Cairo Shopping Center are Web-based retail businesses operated by Marshall VanDeusen and his wife, Jennifer. United Net Online is operated by Bryan Kizer, a pharmacy worker who rents a home in Cairo from the VanDeusens. The online businesses offer thousands of different items, including electronics, children's toys and medieval swords.
Beginning in early December, customers have filed 25 complaints with the BBB against the three businesses, alleging non-delivery of ordered items, delivery of lesser quality items and/or difficulty contacting the VanDeusens and Kizer about their orders.
In late 2004 and early 2005, the VanDeusens were involved in a separate failed online investment project in Oklahoma that cost outside investors at least $150,000. VanDeusen said he personally lost more than $1 million on that deal.
Michelle Corey, president and CEO of the BBB, said the 25 complaints against the three businesses in a two-month period represent a "serious cause for concern. Many consumers already are worried about buying online. Problems like these further erode their trust in making online purchases."
The VanDeusens operate two other websites, Product Showcase Center (productshowcasecenter.com) and Tristate Discounters (tristatediscounters.com). Until recently, the website for Product Showcase Center listed the address of Marshall VanDeusen's foster father in Sacramento, Calif. The address for Tristate Discounters is a mobile home park where the VanDeusens once lived.
The VanDeusens told the BBB that even though Kizer is a neighbor and tenant, they have no involvement with United Net Online, which is the target of 16 of the 25 BBB complaints. Marshall VanDeusen said that he hired Kizer to work on the other websites, and Kizer used information VanDeusen supplied to contact Chinese wholesale suppliers and start United Net Online.
VanDeusen said he is working to clear up any consumer complaints. Kizer said he has been trying to deal with consumer complaints and process refunds.
"The business is pretty much at a standstill now," Kizer said.
VanDeusen said he and his wife came to Cairo after the investment project in Seminole, Okla. failed in 2005. That project involved the online sale of shares in a trucking company called Jennifer's Delivery Service.
Marshall VanDeusen said that when Jennifer's Delivery Service went out of business and they were forced to sell the company's 15 trucks, it was impossible to return money to investors. He blamed the company's failure on the rising cost of fuel. When diesel got to $5 a gallon, "we flat went out of business," he said. "We completely lost our butts."
Records show that Jennifer's Delivery Service stopped operating in early 2005, at a time when the U. S. Department of Energy shows the retail cost of diesel was between $2.20 and $2.30 a gallon. Diesel hit $3 a gallon in October 2005 and $4 a gallon in 2008. It never has reached an average price of $5.
The VanDeusens said they do not know how much investors lost because all of the company's records were stolen in a burglary at their Seminole home. But Marshall VanDeusen estimates the loss to outside investors at about $150,000, with the biggest single loss about $10,000.
But a retiree from Edenton, N.C., told the BBB that he lost more than $38,000 in the project. "I got suckered all the way," he said. "I know I'm dumber than a brick." A father and son from Seminole said they lost $5,000 to the VanDeusens. "We trusted him," the father said, referring to Marshall VanDeusen. He said the VanDeusens left town soon after the failure.
Recent complainants told the BBB that they have been unable to contact the VanDeusens or Kizer about the status of items ordered through their websites.
A man from Evansville, Wis., said he paid United Net Online $740 for a Yamaha electronic keyboard on Dec. 31 but never received the product. He tried repeatedly to reach someone with the business by phone and by email with no luck.
A man from Miami, Fla., said he paid United Net $758 for a Samsung computer on Dec. 15. He said the site had promised delivery by Christmas, but he never received it. He, too, has been unable to reach anyone with the business.
A customer from St. Louis who paid $106 to United Net on Jan. 25 for a DVD/VCR player and recorder said the company is not responding to his inquiries.
Most of the complaints concerning Home and Garden Surplus and Cairo Shopping Center involve the orders of Blu-Ray video players. In some cases, customers have been unable to contact anyone at the business. In one case, a consumer said the business substituted a lesser quality player for the one he ordered.
Marshall VanDeusen said he is working to improve communications. He said he has made it clear on his sites that certain items may be substituted if the ordered item is out of stock.
But a consumer from Spring, Tex. noted that the Cairo Shopping Center site where he ordered a Blu-Ray player states that the company could substitute an item "with equal or greater value." The player he received, the customer said, was of significantly less value than the one he ordered.
On a social networking site, Marshall VanDeusen describes himself as "Rev. Marshall" and displays certificates from Faithful Life Ministries and Universal Ministries. VanDeusen appears to head Faithful Life Ministries. On its website, Universal Ministries describes itself as an online church that provides ministerial credentials to anyone for a donation.
The BBB offers the following tips for shoppers ordering online:

When Stanley H. Schuman, MD, DPH, took a day off to accompany his son to see an orthopedic surgeon for treatment of a football shoulder injury, it became the epidemiologist's equivalent of a busman's holiday.
Schuman, who is professor of epidemiology in the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, became fascinated when the orthopedic surgeon mentioned a harrowing bout of gastroenteritis. The surgeon, a well-built six-footer, had lost 15% of his body weight over approximately a month and had suffered from epigastric pain, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and anorexia.
A colleague suspected giardiasis, which was confirmed by stool examination, and the surgeon recovered after ten days' treatment with metronidazole. But the question remained: How had he contracted the giardial infection in the first place?
This opportunity to do some medical detective work intrigued Schuman, and the result is what apparently is the first report of

The Pirates! Band of Misfits
- Review Date: April 26, 2012
- Rated: PG
- Genre: Family and Kids
- Release Year: 2012
- Running Time: 87 minutes
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Pirates! Band of Misfits isn't your typical pirate adventure, but there's still action, mild high-seas peril, a little bit of colorful language ("hell," etc.), and some parent-targeted jokes about the two historical characters depicted in the movie: Queen Victoria and Charles Darwin. Although the pirates use guns and swords and have hand-to-hand fights, they don't face any real danger until the climactic battle with the queen; before that, their enemies are schoolchildren, lepers, and ghosts. That said, the queen is quite menacing, and Darwin is greedy in his attempts to steal from the pirates. But the pirates themselves, rather than being bloodthirsty and selfish, are more like a family that sticks together, loot or no loot.
User reviews

Kids say
What's the story?
Every year, the Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant) enters the prestigious Pirate of the Year contest and loses because his crew prefers to lie low and enjoy the simpler pleasure of "Ham Night" rather than engage in the bloody but profitable work of hardcore pirateering. When the contest's other contenders for 1837's title -- Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven), and Peg Leg Hastings (Lenny Henry) -- poke fun at the Pirate Captain, he decides to embark on an aggressive campaign to take over other ships. But the plan is a failure ... until the captain storms the ship of Charles Darwin (David Tennant) and is told that his pet parrot is actually the thought-to-be-extinct Dodo bird. Darwin convinces the Pirate Captain and his crew to make landfall in London so the Dodo can win "untold riches" at an annual science conference. But what it really does is bring the pirates to the attention of the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton), who has her own surprisingly nefarious reasons to want to keep the Dodo.
Is it any good?
Fans of Aardman Studios' signature style of stop-motion clay animation (a la Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit), will find this movie absolutely delightful. It's a fun mix of swashbuckling pirate adventure, Charles Darwin biography, and twisted Victoriana lesson. This isn't the kind of Queen Victoria anyone has ever seen before; this one is young, angry, and ready to squash anyone who gets in her way -- especially those dirty, outdated pirates. Tennant's Darwin is particularly hilarious and Machiavellian (which perhaps is in keeping with the legendary naturalist's theories) in his quest to control the Dodo bird. But the real scene-stealer is Darwin's trained butler, a monkey called Mr. Bobo who communicates via a series of index cards. "Uh" and "oh," he holds up whenever danger is imminent.
In his first voice-acting role, Grant is perfectly suited to his part as the Pirate Captain with a "luxuriant beard" and well-appointed pirate garb. His misfit crew includes an albino (Anton Yelchin), a "surprisingly curvaceous" pirate (Ashley Jensen) who's actually a woman with a fake beard, and a pirate with gout (Brendan Gleeson). The animation is what you'd expect from the detailed animators behind Wallace & Gromit, but it's the inventive story that makes The Pirates! so much fun for parents and kids alike. It's got plenty of grown-up jokes (mostly historical ones), but the humor is still accessible to little mateys, although those who've heard of Darwin will be in for a particularly "plunderful" treat.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about why pirate movies are so popular. What is it about pirate tales that continues to be so compelling for movie audiences? How are the crew members in The Pirates! different than other movie mateys?
How does the movie depict Charles Darwin and Queen Victoria? Do you think that the characters are portrayed accurately? Is it OK for filmmakers to take liberties with historical figures for the sake of humor?
Some of the movie's jokes are specifically aimed at grown-ups; do you think too much of the humor is historical or for adults? Do you think jokes for parents are necessary in kids' movies?

Below is a letter to the editor that I sent concerning today's article in the Star Phoenix:
I must correct some of the statements erroneously attributed to me in Friday's article. First, I have stated multiple times that I am in favour of seniors discounts, and I am. Seniors have built this city, and they deserve our respect. The Saskatoon Council On Aging presented an excellent report to Committee. Some recommendations involved new discounts for seniors, which I stated that I support. My question to SCOA was whether there should also be consideration given to a person's financial situation, to ensure we are helping those most in need. I wanted to know their opinion. Never have I questioned "whether it's appropriate" to offer seniors discounts. Never have I asked whether we should "keep offering" a seniors bus pass. No one is proposing the removal of seniors bus passes in any way. Quite the opposite is true. There is now discussion about the possibility of more seniors discounts in our city.

City Councillor Randy Donauer has announced his intention to seek the Conservative nomination for the constituency of Saskatoon West in the next federal election. With the recent boundary alterations, a new constituency has been created. As MP Maurice Vellacott has announced he will not be running again, and MP Kelly Block has announced her intention to seek the nomination in a rural constituency, there will be no incumbent for the new riding of Saskatoon West in the 2015 federal election.
Donauer is currently the City Councillor for Ward 5 in Saskatoon. He first joined Council after winning a by-election in 2010, then was re-elected in 2012. Donauer had the biggest win of any Councillor or Mayoral candidate in the 2012 civic election, garnering over 73% of the vote to win his ward.
The new federal constituency of Saskatoon West overlaps Ward 5, where Donauer is currently the City Councillor.
Donauer says:
"I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the residents of Saskatoon on Council, and now I am asking if they'd like me to represent them in Ottawa."

Thank you for your patronage!
I learned to knit when I was about 6 or 7 years old. It soon became a passion that I have honed over the years by knitting for myself, my husband and our 8 children as well as many other friends and family members. Our first grandchild is drowning in knits!
I taught most of our children how to knit and have taught others through my LYS over the past several years. I love sharing my passion with other knitters! My latest projects have often included lace and Norwegian designs that look more difficult than they really are, Honest!
I started designing patterns to use in the classes I was teaching. Because of that many of my patterns are for basics. The knitting muse has been taking me to new things lately though! I hope you enjoy seeing what I am doing.
Thanks for your interest in my work. Happy knitting!
A "Denise's Favorites" Pattern
After knitting lots and lots of plain vanilla type socks, I found myself teaching others to make them too. This pattern was first written for a class to use and has been tested by many students. I included 4 sizes so you can make these for a wide variety of feet.
This easy to follow pattern is written for beginners and beyond in sizes to fit the whole family. It's almost like magic! Make your socks with a plain stockinette cuff or with ribbing in one of two different options. This is a great pattern even for beginning sock knitters with enough explanation to get you through the rough patches.
Pattern requires fingering weight sock yarn with about 215 - 230 yards per 50 grams. Extra yarn may be needed for extra-long cuffs or larger men's sizes.
Sizes 3-5yrs 6-10yrs Women Men
Yarn 50g 100g 100g 100g
diameter 5" 6.5" 8" 9"

Outlook good for boy rescued from Ind. sand dune
Authorities said a 6-year-old boy who spent more than three hours under sand after being swallowed by a massive Indiana dune is doing well as he recovers in a Chicago hospital.
Michigan City Police Chief Mark Swistek said he spoke with the boy's parents Saturday and they told him the boy's outlook is very good. He said they're "upbeat and hopeful."
A spokeswoman for Comer Children's Hospital in Chicago said the boy remained in critical condition Sunday.
The boy's name and hometown haven't been released, but The News-Dispatch reported he was from Illinois.
Michigan City Fire Department Public Information Officer Mark Baker said he was told the child has no life-threatening injuries and no brain injury from any lack of oxygen he might have experienced.

So there are some very serious complaints about MIL doing some pretty big boundary stomping and often shocking things. The "words out of mil mouth" and the "best/worst" or child care and baby shower...not to mention the "labor and delivery drama" threads are some jaw dropping reads.
I am wondering about the small (maybe even trivial) things that really, reaaaaally get on your nerves and under your skin about MIL, In laws, and FOO.
For me, it is that my MIL doesn't wash her produce. It's drives me crazy and makes me want to jump out of my skin. I also see her drop cooking utensils or rest them on dirty surfaces and then re-use.
I am no neat freak or germaphobe...but it just drives me craaaazy.

Misc. Comments
- Originally published by Schott.
- Though the van Bruwaene typeset attributes the words (possibly) to Joao IV de Portugal, Grove Music cites "more recent researches, notably those of Dom John Stéphan, of Buckfast Abbey, Devon, who in 1947 discussed a newly‐discovered MS of the tune in the handwriting of John Francis Wade , a Lat. teacher and music copyist of Douai (d 1786 ). Stéphan believed this to be the 'first and original version', dating from 1740 – 43 , and attrib. both words and mus. to Wade."
- Copy at Brussels described by RISM (" S, Coro S, Coro A, Coro T, Coro B, S 1 (S solo), T 1 (A), V 1 (A), V 2 (T 2), V 3 (B), org") has mixed chorus, soprano solo, and several other voice parts? as well as organ. - Schissel

The Blonde Girl
By Lumendea
Chapter One: Curse of the Piper: Clown with a Balloon
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures or Torchwood.
AN: This new series is inspired by Rose in the series four finale and the Sarah Jane Adventures. What if Rose had met the Doctor and aliens much younger and had time to grow up knowing her own potential, how would her life have changed?
Rose Marion Tyler was eleven years old and very worried. Five children from her area of London had gone messing and her best mate Shireen was among them leaving both herself and the area in a state of anxiety. Of course, the police had been around the Powell Estates and the surrounding area, but had found nothing. Her mum, Jackie Tyler, was keeping Rose closer to home than ever before and the parents of the Powell Estate had taken to encouraging all the children to stay in groups. Rose knew that her mother and all the others were simply worried, but the notion that Shireen has been taken and she could do nothing made her feel helpless. Whispers around the estates suggested that the police believed the kids had run away or gotten into trouble as some kind of youth gang. As the first week vanished with no news, many feared that the police would simply drop the case and declare them all runaways. Rose did not believe that Shireen would just run away for a moment.
Sunday found Rose and her mum in the flat of the Bell family with Jackie sitting beside Shireen's mum Angela and trying to offer what little comfort she could under the current conditions. The tension on the estate was thick and hung heavy over even the youngest children as parents kept them close and accusations were starting to be exchanged. Tensions between public officials who were suggesting a run away gang and drug problems and the parents of the missing were reaching a boiling point. Hearing Angela cry to her Mum that Shireen wouldn't just disappear on her family made Rose's stomach tighten painfully and she escaped into her missing best friend's room.
Everything was still in place despite the police search giving the place a sense that the girl who lived her had just rushed out on her way to school. Her friends pink duvet was thrown across the bed, a pair of shoes were in the middle of the floor and a lipstick had rolled off of Shireen's dresser.
Sighing softly, Rose sat down on the bed and looked around the room with a sad frown, trying to understand what had happened to her friend. Rose picked up one of Shireen's school folders that were stacked on the edge of the bed and flipped through it, but finding nothing she dropped it back on the bed. Then she crossed over to the small vanity that Shireen had set up in the corner in the room. Sitting down, Rose glanced over the little packages of makeup and the photos of cute actors that Shireen had collected that lined the mirror. Rose blinked when she noticed a strange yellow ticket was tucked part way under Shireen's jewelry box. Picking it up, Rose frowned as she read it: Spellman's Museum of the Circus. That didn't fit Shireen at all; she hated clowns and avoided them like the plague. She assumed that the ticket had been left there when her friend emptied her pockets and just hadn't been thrown away yet, but Rose folded it up and slipped it into her pocket anyway. Standing up, Rose gave the room one last look over before rejoining her mother in the living room.
They didn't stay much longer, but Jackie promised to send over some tea later on to cheer Angela up. On their way across the council estate, her Mum talked about a recent television show with Rose paying only the slightest bit of attention. They were almost home when Rose saw it. She was on the stairs between levels when the clown crossed the courtyard, carrying a bright red balloon in its hand. Rose blinked in surprise at the odd sight, but then it was gone when her eyes opened.
"Rose," Jackie called from their flat doorway just above her, "Come on then."
"Coming Mum," Rose replied with a shake her head as she climbed the stairs. She glanced back over her shoulder quickly, trying to figure out how the person had moved so fast, but once she was in the flat, the clown left her mind.
Rose did not think about the clown until she was school two days later. Everyone at Jericho Street Comprehensive was talking about the disappearances and student theories filled the corridors. Many theories were along the same line as the police, a young gang or runaway pacts, but other suggested horrible situations with murders that made Rose cringe. The class clown was suggesting alien abductions to anyone who would listen and even claiming to have seen lights in the sky.
In maths class, Rose sighed in distraction and doodled on the edge of her paper, tracing her friends name in long curving letters. She looked out the window next to her seat and gasped softly as the same clown dressed in red, blue and yellow walked across the courtyard carrying his red balloon. Rose looked back to her teacher for a moment, trying to decide if she should say something, but then turned back to see nothing in the courtyard. Rubbing her eyes, Rose looked back at the courtyard with an uncertain expression.
"You alright?" a soft voice asked from next to her as a foot kicked her shoe gently. Rose turned to look at Sharon Allen, a pretty girl of African descent in the next desk over who was watching her with a look of concern. "You're really pale Rose," she added with a glance towards the teacher.
"I'm fine," Rose assured her with a forced smile that wasn't at all successful.
"Worried about Shireen right?" Sharon asked, her features softening sadly.
"Course," Rose responded with a whisper, but she couldn't ignore the cold weight that had settled in her stomach as she looked down at the page in front of her and saw Shireen's name.
The rest of the day passed very slowly for Rose who felt far too aware of the world around her to sit quietly and absorb the teacher's words. Rose doodled in her notebook, glancing out at the courtyard every so often, both hoping and dreading seeing the clown again. Once the final bell released her and her fellow students, Rose gathered up her things and headed towards the main entrance, her feet dragging in her dark mood. Then she heard a throaty chuckle, nothing like she'd ever heard a student or teacher make. The sound was sinister… somehow she knew that and Rose changed direction just in time to see Sharon entering the loo.
"Sharon?" Rose called out with a hint of hesitation, "Was that you laughing?"
There was no response and Rose glanced at the main entrance before taking a few steps towards the toilet. She called out her question and Sharon's name once again, but there was no answer. After a moment of hesitation, Rose entered the bathroom and looked about the small room for Sharon. A bag was lying on the floor with pens and paper spilling out of it. No one answered when Rose called out. Walking forward, Rose pushed open the first of the three toilet stalls, but it was empty. She called for Sharon again as she opened the second stall, but there was again no answer. Rose opened the third and final stall, staring inside at the emptiness where a person should have been.
"Sharon?" Rose called out, her voice weak and desperate.
Suddenly, the throaty laugh came from behind her and Rose turned to see the clown with the white face paint and huge painted smile standing in plain view in the mirror. Only, the reflection made it appear that the clown was standing right behind her. Gasping, Rose spun around to look, but she was alone in the room. She looked back to her mirror, ignoring a shaking hand to see the clown grinning at her.
"What are you?" Rose asked in a breathy voicee, "How are you doing that?"
"All I want," the clown told her in a raspy voice, "is to give you a balloon."
The clown's hand that was holding the bright red balloon reached towards her and passed through the surface of the mirror. She stumbled back when the balloon came within inches of her face and watched the mirror's surface ripple outwards from his arm.
"That can't be real," Rose gasped, shaking her head in denial, but not removing her eyes from the clown.
"Just take the balloon," the clown told her with a smile that was growing wider by the moment.
Suddenly, the loo door swung open and Rose's middle aged history teacher stepped inside. The older woman seemed startled, but looked quizzically at Rose.
"Tyler?" she asked, peering that Rose over her glassed, "Shouldn't you be getting home? It's against the rules to loiter."
With a stunned expression, Rose looked back at the mirror, but the clown and balloon were gone. Blinking, she took a breath and nodded to the teacher.
"Yes, of course." Rose managed to say in a weak voice while gesturing to the fallen bag on the floor. "Someone dropped their things," she added in a stronger voice.
"I'll take them to the lost and found," the teacher assured her with a touch of impatience. "Now move along."
Nodding, Rose rushed out of the loo and into the hall which felt huge and far too quiet. It only took her a few moments to escape out the front doors and into the sunlit courtyard. Turning, Rose looked back up at the school with a frightened expression.
"Maybe I'm going mad," Rose whispered to herself, shivering softly despite the warm day.
Rose began to walk to the bus station, glancing around her constantly and wrapped her hand around her bag strap. A group of her fellow students were waiting at the corner for the bus, chatting as if nothing was wrong. Rose joined the group and tried to relax, but then she saw a flash of yellow and red in the corner of her eye. Across the street was a small park and standing there smiling at her was the clown.
"Rose," a voice beside her called. "Rose!"
She turned to see Mickey Smith, a tall dark skinned boy that she had grown up looking at her with concern. He was lived near the Powell Estates with his grandmother and was a few years older than Rose, but she considered him a good friend.
"Sorry Mickey," Rose told him, putting on a smile.
"You alright?" he asked, studying her expression carefully.
"I'm fine," Rose assured him. "Just a bit tried," seeing that he wasn't convinced, she added, "I'm worried about Shireen."
A look of discomfort and understanding passed over Mickey's face and he nodded. He looked around at the students with them and suddenly frowned as the bus pulled up.
"Hey, has anyone seen Sharon?" he asked loudly, getting everyone's attention.
"She probably catch the next bus," one of the other students offered with a shrug.
"We should stay together right now," Mickey informed the others with a frown.
"Just cause you're older-" Michael from three flats down started to say until Rose cut him off.
"No," Rose argued suddenly, "Mickey's right. We should be looking out for each other until the police find the others." She paused taking a breath, "We don't need any more of us vanishing like Shireen."
Everyone fell silent as they boarded the bus, but Rose noted that everyone stood and sat close together during the ride home. It didn't make her feel any better as she wondered if Sharon even could attempt to catch the next bus home.

Juanma's Manager Requests Hearing Over Suspension
By Rey Colon
Manager Orlando Piñero, who was suspended because of the minor riot which transpired after Juan Manuel Lopez lost his WBO featherweight crown on April 16, filed a request for a hearing before the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission, as confirmed by the commission president Dommys Delgado Berty.
"He made a request for a hearing and I am following the process," Berty said,
On the other hand, Delgado also confirmed that the vice president of PR Best Boxing Promotions, Peter Rivera, and former champion Juan Manuel Lopez, were both summoned by letter to a scheduled meeting to discuss what happened after the fight - where water bottles and other objects were thrown into the ring. Some of the individuals injured by the objects include the mayor of Guaynabo, Hector Ó 'Neill, and Carlos' Cidrita' Aponte, former mayor of Aguas Buenas and advisor to the Department of Recreation and Sports.

When did your doctors approve your child(ren) for medication? My son has been diagnosed with ADHD since a year and a half ago..he will be 7 soon. My pediatrician seems to be opposed to giving him meds, and so am I, but sometimes I feel it would be the only way to help my son out....he's very impulsive, will run out into the street without looking...hard time focusing in school..or just in daily activies..but can focus when he's on his DS! (lol) Any info, i'd appreciate, thnx :)
medication question

My ds dr prescribed concerta as soon as he was diagnosed. We asked questions first of course, but he started the meds the next day.Concerta is time released over 12 hrs, so he takes it in the morning and that's it. He hasn't had any side effects, and we got the dose perfected within 3 weeks. He is a great, funny little kid. He didn't become a zombie, which is what we were afraid of. I'd say that with the problems that you describe, you might want to consider Concerta. I'm not trying to make your decision for you, of course. But my ds had the exact same issues. I know every child is different, so concerta might not work for him. But there are other time-released formulas out there. And before we found that concerta would be enough for him, the dr suggested concerta and a form of adderall to round out the adhd symptoms. Good luck to you and your ds, I know you'll make the right decision for him.

Thank you. I appreciate your input. I am probably going to find another pediatrician. She kept telling me and my hubby that he didn't have that, he just had a behavioral problem, finally after complaining for like the 50th time she referred me to an ADHD specialist, who retired 6 months after she diagnosed him! Did your son have trouble in school? My son does. He doesn't seem to know a lot and it breaks my heart. He get's upset when his little sister (she's 3yo) knows something and he doesn't. I'm asking, because im wondering if medication helps with school? I guess i should ask a doctor who specializes in that, but im just wondering. Thank you.

my daughter is on Adderall XR which is also a extended release. It's been awesome for her, took us awhile to get the dose right. Only down side is she has lost a little weight and we had to put her on something to help her sleep.
I'll have to ask about Concerta.

The Cheesemonger: Nostrale di Elva
But every so often, I stand corrected. Step aside, taleggios, gorgonzolas, provolones, and mozzarellas. Presenting Nostrale di Elva, a raw cow's milk cheese from Piemonte.
With a smooth, rich paste and exceedingly creamy mouthfeel, it feels more luxurious than the country's rustic, crumbling cheeses like Fiore Sardo and other aged pecorinos. With an affinage of at least 30 days but sometimes up to six months or more, the result remains dense and buttery, becoming ever so slightly funky when at room temperature.
Its natural rind lends an earthy undertone, while the brining of the wheels at two days of age adds a salty complexity to its finish.
You can take various paths when pairing with beverages. Try a stout to pull out its creaminess or a hoppy West coast IPA to accentuate its subtle lactic bite.
Nostrale di Elva is available at Formaggio Essex for $18.99/lb and and at Formaggio Kitchen for $9.95/half lb.

hello all, I have a 11 month old boy. I sleep trained him when he was 4 month old, and he was able to sleep from 7pm to 7am. until last month, when we took him to China for a one-month vacation. Well, we had to cosleep with him when we stayed with his grandparents. there's also a 13 hours time difference. We tried to keep his routine when we were in China with as less exceptions as possible.
the nightmare begun upon we returned home. he was already drowsy when I breastfed him in my arms. as soon as i put him in the crib, he will grab my arm and won't let go. I would let him cry and check on him 5 min, 10 min, 15mins,ect. at the one hour mark, he was not sleepy anymore, i hear him playing in the crib.
I'm pretty confident and comfortable with all the sleep training methods, coz i used and succeed before. well, i guess what i need from you ladies are support and more stories to convince my husband. he is the one seems more miserable than the baby. the first time sleep training the baby was much easier cos he was much younger and I avoid cosleep as much as possible. so my husband didn't really experience this much histerical crying. he was like "just hold him to sleep this time, get through this time first..." please help me to convince him, sleep training doesn't work that way.

Orientated lead salt midinfrared lasers85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1799240View Description Hide Description
A Lead salt midinfrared quantum-well (QW) laser on orientation is proposed. Theoretical simulations of QW edge-emitting lasers show a temperature increase in continuous-wave operation compared to the conventional -orientated lasers. This is because the gain on -orientated QW structure is significantly increased. Among , , and orientations, -orientated QW structure offers the highest gain. QW structures were successfully grown on -orientated substrate by molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE).Photoluminescence intensity of -orientated samples was twice as high as that on -orientated substrates from the same MBE run.
Near-stoichiometric optical waveguides fabricated using vapor transport equilibration and co-diffusion85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1805700View Description Hide Description
Near-stoichiometric planar and strip optical waveguides were demonstrated using vapor transport equilibrium process and co-diffusion of titanium metal. Optical confinement is better in -cut substrates than in -cut substrates, and the waveguides were characterized optically. Spectral measurements, such as absorption,optical absorption near the fundamental edge, and Raman scattering, were carried out to examine the -composition and crystalline phase inside and outside the guiding layer. The results have shown that the vapor transport equilibration process has brought these waveguides toward stoichiometric composition, the content inside and outside the waveguide layer is essentially identical, and the phase is still retained within the waveguide layer.
Bottom-up soft-lithographic fabrication of three-dimensional multilayer polymer integrated optical microdevices85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1802380View Description Hide Description
We develop a method to efficiently fabricate three-dimensional multilayerpolymer microchips for integrated optical applications. This method uses soft lithography to mold the core structures on top of the cladding layers. By repeating the process, a three-dimensional multilayer integrated optical microdevice, which consists of several layers of individual planar optical devices, is fabricated. We demonstrate a dual-layer microring resonatoroptical filterdevice where the devices in the different layers show essentially identical transmission responses.
Improvement in spatial resolution of plasma-enhanced quantum-well intermixing by stress-inducing dielectric mask85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1803912View Description Hide Description
We report the use of a stress-inducing dielectric mask to improve the spatial resolution of the proximity quantum-well intermixing process. Photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy were used to study the band gap modification and the spatial resolution using plasma in the laser structure. A spatial resolution of has been achieved with the presence of an annealing cap as a stress-inducing mask. The simple technique provides a promising approach of lateral band gap tuning with a high spatial resolution for high-density photonic integrated circuits.
Time response characteristics of an oxide-confined resonant cavity-enhanced photodetector85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1806267View Description Hide Description
This work compares the speed characteristics of a resonant cavity-enhanced (RCE) detector-emitter device with its laterally oxidized counterpart. The full width at half-maximum of the photocurrent spectrum exhibited no degradation in wavelength selectivity. Moreover, oxide confinement caused no current bottleneck that was inferred to adversely affect the device speed. The measured pulse responses were 65 and for the unoxidized and oxidizeddevices, respectively. Oxide-confined RCE photodetectors show relevant application in concentric hybrid RCE vertical cavity laser devices, this work deals with the speed characteristics of laterally oxidizedresonant cavity-enhanced devices.
Interband cascade lasers grown on substrates lasing at 4 microns85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1803952View Description Hide Description
Antimonide-based type II interband cascade lasers grown on substrates have been demonstrated at emission wavelengths longer than at temperatures up to in pulsed-mode operation. Investigations by transmission electron microscopy,atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction are presented and discussed to gain insights into material issues such as defects and dislocations associated with device performance.
Differential ellipsometric surface plasmon resonance sensors with liquid crystal polarization modulators85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1806273View Description Hide Description
Differential ellipsometric interrogation of surface plasmon (SP) resonances is a technique that gives ultrahigh sensitivity to refractive index changes, and it may provide the basis for chemical and biological sensors. In this study, a liquid crystalpolarizationmodulator has been developed to provide such a differential technique. A refractive index sensitivity of refractive index units is demonstrated, which is at least as sensitive as more established SP sensing techniques. The use of a liquid crystalmodulator allows for low-voltage signal modulation and also feedback locking to zero. Possibly more important, it leads to pixelization for array sensing and for potential imaging.
Surface acoustic wave-driven planar light-emitting device85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1803936View Description Hide Description
Electroluminescence emission controlled by means of surface acoustic waves(SAWs) in planar light-emitting diodes(pLEDs) is demonstrated. Interdigital transducers for SAW generation were integrated onto pLEDs fabricated following the scheme which we have recently developed [Cecchini et al., Appl. Phys. Lett.82, 636 (2003)]. Current-voltage, light-voltage, and photoluminescence characteristics are presented at cryogenic temperatures. We argue that this scheme represents a valuable building block for advanced optoelectronic architectures.
Polarization-sensitive complex Fourier domain optical coherence tomography for Jones matrix imaging of biological samples85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1804233View Description Hide Description
A polarization-sensitive Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (PS-FD-OCT) system is demonstrated. This OCT system is based on a spectral interferometer, does not require mechanical axial scanning, and enables phase information to be used in an OCTimage. Owing to this phase information, the system requires only two measurements for determining the Jones matrix images and Müller images of biological samples. This system reveals the birefringence properties of the inner surface of a porcine esophagus.
average power, high-beam-quality green generation in -doped stoichiometric periodically poled lithium tantalate85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1806538View Description Hide Description
A periodically-poled -doped stoichiometriclithiumtantalate crystal is applied for single-pass, 67% peak-power efficient, average power second-harmonic generation of a single-mode -doped all-fiber fundamental source. Reduced photorefraction and green-induced infrared absorption of the material allowed to maintain a low value of the high-average-power beam.
Loss characterization in microcavities using the thermal bistability effect85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1804240View Description Hide Description
We demonstrate a powerful method based on the thermal bistability effect to characterize distinct loss mechanisms limiting the quality factor of microresonators. The relative importance of absorption and scattering losses are investigated in toroidal microcavities using this technique. Empirical results on thermal nonlinearity of these structures have been used to study the interaction of microtoroids with their ambient environment.
A grating-assisted resonant-cavity-enhanced optical displacement detection method for micromachined sensors85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1804605View Description Hide Description
We present an integrated optical displacement sensing method for microscale sensors which is based on an asymmetric Fabry–Perot etalon structure with an embedded phase-sensitive diffraction grating. Analytical modeling of the structure shows that the etalon significantly improves the detection sensitivity as compared to a regular optical interferometer and the embedded diffraction grating enables integration of optoelectronics in a small volume. The efficacy of the method is experimentally validated on a surface micromachined diffraction-based opto-acoustic sensor fabricated on a quartz wafer. A 15 nm silver layer is used to form the bottom mirror of the etalon structure with a sensor membrane and embedded diffraction grating made of aluminum. Comparison of the results with and without the etalon shows an 8 dB increase in detection sensitivity with the etalon structure, which should be further enhanced with the use of low-loss dielectric mirrors.
Origin of the green photoluminescence from zinc sulfide nanobelts85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1807018View Description Hide Description
ZnSnanobelts with a pure wurtzite phase have been synthesized by a thermal evaporation method with the assistance of in an Ar atmosphere. Photoluminescence band centered at about has been observed under excitation in the range of with decay rate as short as . The origin of this intense photoluminescence is related to elemental sulfur species on the surface of the ZnSnanobelts. This assignment is substantiated by structural analysis by high-resolution electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence and excitation technique. ZnSnanobelts with intense surfacephotoluminescence could be used as effective green light emitters, humid sensors, and UV light detectors.
Polarization selection due to scattering losses in nonaxisymmetric vertical cavity surface emitting laser cavities85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1799239View Description Hide Description
A theoretical explanation is offered for the polarization pinning in vertical cavity surface emitting lasercavities with deliberately imposed lack of axisymmetry. The analytic computation of scattering losses shows that, for medium to small aperture sizes, differentiation in modal 's among the two polarizations is sufficient to overrule intrinsic near-degeneracies and maintain polarization throughout operation range. It is also shown that the prevailing polarization, the one with lowest round-trip losses, is aligned with the longest aperture dimension, in agreement with experiments.

Production of ultrahigh-current-density ion beams by short-pulse skin-layer laser–plasma interaction85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1797557View Description Hide Description
We report experimental evidence, supported by a simple theory and numerical calculations, that the skin-layer subrelativistic interaction of a short low-energy laser pulse with a thin preplasma layer in front of a solid target can produce a collimated fast ion flux of extremely high ion current density ( close to the target), comparable to those predicted for ballistically focused ion beams from relativistic laser–plasma interactions.

Amorphous-to-crystal transition of nitrogen- and oxygen-doped films studied by in situ resistance measurements85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1805200View Description Hide Description
The amorphous-to-crystal transition has been studied through in situresistancemeasurements in thin films doped by ion implantation with nitrogen or oxygen. The dependence of the electrical resistivity and structure on the annealingtemperature and time has been investigated in samples with different dopant concentrations. Enhancement of the thermal stability and increase of the mobility gap for conduction have been observed in O- and N-doped amorphous. Larger effects have been found in the case of nitrogen doping.
Microphotoluminescence spectra of hillocks in films85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1802379View Description Hide Description
The spatial variation of the optical properties of hillocks in films has been studied by using microphotoluminescence microscopy. The spectrum revealed a strong emission at from the hillock, besides the near-band-edge emission at . Moreover, the intensity increases significantly and its full width at half maximum decreases from by probing across the hillock center. These indicated that the hillock structure is a strong emission center. The temperature-dependent measurements showed that the also has the S-shape behavior with a transition temperature of which is lower than that of . The redshift of is also smaller than . Both indicated that the Al composition in hillocks is lower than the surrounding area.
Effect of strain-compensation in stacked quantum dot active regions grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1805707View Description Hide Description
We have introduced tensile layers embedded in a matrix to compensate compressive strain in stacked quantum dot(QD) active regions. The effects of the strain compensation are systematically investigated in five-stack and ten-stack QDstructures where we have inserted ( or 0.36) layers. High-resolution x-ray diffraction spectra quantify the overall strain in each sample and indicate strain reduction can be accomplished. Both atomic force and transmission electron microscope images confirm that strain compensation improves material crystallinity and QD uniformity. With aggressive strain compensation, room temperature QDphotoluminescence intensity is significantly increased demonstrating a reduced defect density.
Size effect and strain rate sensitivity in benzocyclobutene film85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1805710View Description Hide Description
The mechanical properties of benzocyclobutene film are investigated at the nanoscale by nano-indentation using atomic force microscopy(AFM). The force versus indentation depth data were collected with two different AFM tips of radii and . A strong size effect of the plastic flow stress was observed as the radius of the indenter tip was reduced. More important, the material exhibited pronounced strain rate sensitivity when probed at the nanoscale, while it was rate insensitive at larger scales. These two size effects were quantified by analytic and finite element modeling.
Transition in growth mode by competing strain relaxation mechanisms: Surfactant mediated epitaxy of alloys on85(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1803914View Description Hide Description
Surfactant mediated epitaxy of alloys on can, besides technological importance, clarify the influence of the lattice mismatch during surfactant mediated heteroepitaxialgrowth. For low concentration we find an immediate layer-by-layer growth, whereas at high concentration a roughening transition followed by relaxation of the lattice mismatch in a periodic dislocation network is preferred. This behavior can be explained by comparing the dislocation nucleation rate on a smooth surface with the island nucleation rate on a pseudomorphic film.

I am using papercite and I love it. As a scientist, it is important to make it easy for people to import my articles as bibtex, Refman, Endnote etc in a similar way most scholarly article do or even googlescholar. I wonder if that could be implemented or at least parovide some sort of direct link to allow the installation of the citation record. At the moment the Bibtex shows the record but a simple right click and save as bib is not available. Please advice.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
It's time to delve into System Preferences. Specifically, those for configuring the look and feel of the Mac's interface, and we're going to start with the General System Preference. So you have various options that you can configure in the General Systems Preference to change the look of the Mac's interface. So you can change the color of the buttons in the menus. You have blue or graphite as choices. You can change the highlight color. So, for example, currently, if I want to change its Name, it's a light blue, but I can change it to a different color if I like.
We'll leave it as the blue. You can change the size of the side bar icons, much bigger now, and very tiny. And medium, and I'll leave it at medium. Then there are scroll bars. Let's pull up a window. Let's pull up one that actually has scroll bars. Now, as you can see, just like in Lion, you have these grayish scroll bars here to the side.
This is much different than what came before. So you can have those scroll bars automatically appear based on whether you're using a mouse or a trackpad, or they can appear only when you're scrolling. So now, I'm scrolling and they appear and then I stop scrolling and they disappear, or you can have them on all the time. Take it away and they're still there. If you have a mouse, they'll be there all the time. If you have a trackpad, they won't, and the reason for this is because it's very much like the iOS.
If you're accustomed to swiping things on your iPhone or your iPod, you don't see scroll bars, it just scrolls, and so they assume that if you're using a trackpad, you want that same kind of experience. You can change how the scroll bars move, depending on where you click, so if I click in the scroll bar, currently it will move down an entire page, or move up a page, or I can choose to jump to the spot that's clicked. So if I want to go all the way to the bottom, I'll click on the bottom, go to the middle, click in the middle, and so on. In another movie, I showed you how to use autosave in TextEdit and other supported applications.
By default, when you close a document, it will automatically save changes you've made. You don't have to allow that to happen, however. If you enable "Ask to keep changes when closing documents," instead of it just closing and saving, you'll see a little dialogue box that asks if you'd like to keep your changes. The next option has to do with closing windows. So by default, if you have a bunch of windows open and you close an application, when you next restart that application, those windows will open up again. In this case, if you enable "Close windows when quitting an application" when you close that application, those windows will close. The next time you open the application, the application will open without any of these windows open.
If you go into the Apple menu, you see that there's a Recent Items entry, and that includes Applications, Documents, and Servers. You can choose how many items are going to appear there. By default, it's 10. But you're going to have no items appear and you can go as far as 50 items. Font smoothing is on by default, and this is a good idea. A lot of times, if you're in your web browser, for example, and this isn't on, some text is going to look a little jagged. If you turn this on, the text is just going to look better.
Here's another font smoothing option, again you can choose which sizes font smoothing will kick in on. By default, it's at four, I like that setting. Now, we'll move to Desktop & Screen Saver. I can close this window here. So within Desktop & Screen Saver, to no one's surprise, there are two options, and one is for configuring the look of the Desktop and the other one is for the Screen Saver. So Apple provides some desktop pictures. To change, simply click on the one you like, and you can also go with solid colors as we have done.
You can also choose a custom color if you like. Wow! That'll wake you up in the morning. You betcha! That's a little too much for me, so I'm going to turn that off and I'm going to change it back to my -- ah, now I feel much calmer. You can also choose items from your iPhoto library if you like. Let me choose photos. That's very nice, too. You can choose how that's going to work, so it can fill the screen, it can fit to screen, you can stretch it to fill the screen, and you can also place it in the center.
Once again, we'll go back to our solid colors. Then if you like, you can choose a folder that has images within it. Now, there you go. Wow, no, not even my wife would like that. Okay, so yes, you could choose your own pictures if you like. Now, also at the bottom, this is something we changed earlier, and that's the Translucent menu bar. If you want things behind the Menu Bar to kind of show through, you can leave this on.
I prefer to have it off, however. Then you can choose how often you're going to change your picture. That can happen every 30 minutes, every hour, every day. Just to show you what can happen if you choose this. Change picture every five seconds. See, it's not terrible, because it fades in and out. However, I would find that really distracting, so I turn that off. Solid colors and back to blue.
Now, let's take a look at Screen Saver. There are a variety of Screen Savers available to you, and a lot of them have to do with slideshows now. They're all very pretty and this comes from a stock library of Apple's images. You can also choose other sources if you like. Again, you could choose a folder or you can choose from a photo library.
Then there are sort of these synthesized effects. This is Shell, iTunes Artwork, I don't have anything in my iTunes library currently, but if I did, you'd see album artwork. I could choose a random Screen Saver. Flurry is the default Screen Saver, and here's Arabesque, and we'll go back to the default. If you like, when a Screen Saver kicks in, you can have a clock up here, and then you can configure some of these things as well.
Now normally, these will kick in after a certain time, and this is configured in the Energy Saver System Preference, which we're going to look at later on, but you can also kick in using a Hot Corner. So you click on Hot Corners, and then you can configure what happens when you take your mouse to a certain place. So in this case, start Screen Savers in the upper left corner, so if I drag my mouse to the upper left corner, here's my Screen Saver, and then just drag it out and it stops. In this case I'll set it back to none and click on OK.
Now, one thing to know about Screen Savers, it used to be way back in the day, when we're all using these huge CRT monitors that you really had to worry about something like screen burn-in. This would happen if you were seeing a static image on your screen for hours. Eventually, that image would actually be burned into the phosphor. And so whenever you look at anything on your computer screen, you would see this ghost image. This is not a concern today with current monitors that we have. You don't have to worry about screen burn-in. So much of this is for your amusement.
The other thing is it's also a security issue. So you can configure your Mac, and we'll look at how that's done, so that when it goes to sleep and shows a Screen Saver, that in order to wake it up, you're going to have to enter your password, so that's one other use for a Screen Saver. And now let's look at Dock, and let's expose the Dock. Go to Dock, Turn Hiding Off, and here's our Dock. So you can change the size of the Dock. It could be big or it could be very little, and you'll change it based on how many items you have in the Dock.
You can also magnify the Dock, which is kind of a cool effect. So as you drag over, your image just get larger and then reduce as you drag away from them. You can choose where you're going to put it, left, right, or bottom. You can't put it at the top. There's a minimize windows effect. Let me show you how that works. So if I click on the yellow button, it minimizes the window. See it sort of swoops down? Here's a cool trick, hold down the Shift key and then you can really see how that effect works.
It also works that way when you bring it back by clicking on it. Again, I have the Shift key held down. And you can scale it down instead. So there's the scale effect with the Shift key. Put it back to Genie. You can double-click on a windows title bar to minimize it, so I'll turn that on. Click on the window. Double-click, there it goes.
You can choose to minimize windows into the application icon. See how that works. So notice, it didn't go to the right side, but instead, because it's a Finder window, it went into the finder icon. You can animate the opening of applications. What happens there is that if I open an application -- see that little bouncing in the Dock, I can turn that off if I want. I can automatically hide and show the Dock, I did that from the menu before, but I can turn that on here.
And very subtle, at the very bottom, any active applications are going to show a very light, whitish-blue, right here, light under an active application. You can have that on or you can turn it off. So you can see there's not a lot of difference, and let's hide our Dock. Then there's Mission Control. We're going to talk about Mission Control in another movie. This is where you modify its behavior and assign keyboard shortcuts to it. Now, a lot of the features here were once known as Expose in earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well as Spaces.
The two have been combined into this System Preference. We're going to talk about Dashboard in another movie. Again, we're going to get to some of these features when we talk about Mission Control, and you're also going to find a Hot Corners option here. Click that and you can choose to have Mission Control activated via a Hot Corner. That wraps up the basic Personal System Preferences.

Red Hat Satellite 5.3 Gets New Functionality
The new version of the Red Hat Satellite server expands functionality, including in the areas of client management and the API.
The newly integrated Cobbler installation software should make sys admin tasks such as package installation, channel subscriptions to the Red Hat network and DHCP and DNS configurations easier. Cobbler also works with the Koan tool to help clone existing systems in virtual environments.
New to version 5.3 is also the possibility to migrate to remote locations in so-called "trust relationships" between two mor more organizations.
