Simplifies adding scope to your Leopard Finder searches (Smart Folders)
Requires Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.x).
Important News! Now compatible with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
By default in Leopard, if you want to limit the scope of a Smart Folder's Spotlight search... hmm, well, there you go - I've already started saying it backwards.
If I want to search a specific location or group of locations using Spotlight in Leopard, the only way I've found to do it is to select a location such as a folder or disk in a Finder window's sidebar, then, if both the search field and the "Action" toolbar widget are present in the toolbar (they are by default - see "customizing toolbars" in Mac Help), type something into the search field, then select "Show Search Criteria" from the Action menu, then add or change search criteria.
In Tiger, I could first define search criteria, then use menu items at the top of the Smart Folder window to select targets for the search. Smart Folder Targeteer was designed to allow me to again create a Smart Folder using that working order (criteria first, then search scope), as well as to allow me to add multiple target hierarchies to the search, which I haven't yet found another way to do in Leopard.
Command-F Customizer is an additional script application that provides a simple interface for editing the search criteria of your command-F shortcut.
What the scripts do.
InstructionsThere is more than one way to use Smart Folder Targeteer. First you can simply double-click the Smart Folder Targeteer application"s icon, in which case you'll be prompted either to choose to modify an existing property list file (".plist") into which you've collected Finder search criteria or to use the default "command-F" search as a template which will be saved into your Saved Searches folder. Alternatively, you can drag an existing Leopard Smart Folder to the script appication's icon to modify its search. The first three applications (Smart Folder Targeteer, Add Entry Match search criteria, and Smart Folder Targeteer and Add Entry Match) modifiy Smart Folders in the ways described above. Command-F Customizer, however, is a separate solution, providing a method for customizing the command-F Finder find (File menu -->Find...).
TipsDon't target any folders which are either included in your Spotlight private items in the Spotlight pane in System Preferences or are enclosed by an item in the private items of the Spotlight pane.
A suggested working order
Launch the Command-F Customizer application and click the Edit button to copy your default_smart.plist file to your desktop as "default_smart.savedSearch" and relaunch the Finder.
Double-click the "default_smart.savedSearch" Smart Folder to open it. Be sure the Action widget appears in the Finder Toolbar (see "customizing toolbars" in Mac Help if it doesn't appear there).
Select "Show search criteria in the Action menu of the "default_smart.savedSearch" Finder window. Add, remove, and further customize the search criteria so that default_smart.savedSearch contains search criteria that you want to see when you press "command-F" in the Finder. Click Save at the upper right of the Smart Folder's window.
Drag the "default_smart.savedSearch" Smart Folder to Command-F Customizer's icon and click Replace and Relaunch Now in the dialog. Complete the step, and your customized criteria will appear whenever you press "command-F" in the Finder.
Save the "default_smart.savedSearch" Smart Folder into your Saved Searches folder (in your user's Library folder) and add the Saved Searches folder to your Finder Sidebar by dragging its icon into the Sidebar at the left side of the window. Drag "default_smart.savedSearch" or another Smart Folder onto one of the other three applications included on the Smart Folder Targeteer disk image (or launch one of the applications, Smart Folder Targeteer, Add Entry Match Search Criteria, or Smart Folder Targeteer and Add Entry Match, following the instructions above) to create a new Smart Folder with the criteria and search scope you want.
You may wish to double-click Command-F Customizer (not fully compatible with Snow Leopard - Snow Leopard users see this.) and follow the instructions to edit, restore, or replace your default command-F Finder find (File menu -->Find...). Note: Although Command-F Customizer isn't fully compatible with Snow Leopard, you may want to use it to save a default search criteria set that you can select using the "Default" search criteria selection button when using the Smart Folder Targeteer scripts.

Looks like the continuing soapish drama and saga of the Walker Family. ABC's Brothers & Sisters starring Sally Field and a stellar cast just got the boot from the alphabet network too! So is this another casualty in the network's decision to move away from scripted soap style drama programming? Maybe, maybe not. However, budgets and the bottom line look to be the culprit.
According to Deadline.com, "Barring any last-minute miracle, it looks like this is the end of the road for ABC's veteran family drama Brothers and Sisters. There had been a serious effort by ABC and producing studio ABC Studios to find a price point at which they could bring the show back for an abbreviated sixth and final season. There have been talks with star Calista Flockhart to return for six episodes next season. Last May, Brothers and Sisters clinched a last-minute 18-episode order that was subsequently expanded to 22 episodes. But the indications are, with so many drama pilots scoring high in testings and screenings this year, ABC is ready to say good-bye to the Walker clan."
Another great show on ABC bites the dust!

Substance use and abuse continues to be a problem among teens in Brown County, and with summer break from school just around the corner, students will have plenty of idle time on their hands. It's during these free times when teens are more likely to experiment with illegal drug use, and those working to fight the drug problem in the county are hoping to stop drug addiction among teens before it starts.
Brown County Juvenile Court Judge Danny Bubp, along with his team of speakers, paid a visit to Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington High School on the afternoon of May 16 to address students on in the issues of drug abuse and addiction, encouraging students to make good decisions in their lives and to steer clear of recreational drug use.
"What we're trying to do is expose these kids to the dangers with illegal drug use," said Bubp. "One of the (RULH) students I spoke with, who is a senior, told me that she bet if I drug tested all of them (students) right now, over 50-percent would have marijuana in them. How do you focus on your education? How do you focus on goals if you're using a drug like marijuana? People will advocate for it (marijuana) – saying that it is harmless, but if you talk to these guys in law enforcement they will tell you from the facts that it's not harmless."
RULH students and staff welcomed guest speaker and former teen body-building sensation, Franco Santoriello. Santoriello was once among the top teen body builder in the world, an impressive career that was destroyed by his heroin addiction. His path of substance abuse and addiction began like many others, with smoking marijuana and consuming alcohol.
"At your age I was the best teenage body builder on earth," Santoriello told RULH students during his visit. "I never thought I would become an addict, and it started with pot and beer."
"Drugs and alcohol took everything I was and everything I stood for," he later added.
Santoriello's bout with addiction led him to nearly three years in prison on drug related charges, and it was there that he decided to change his life. Relying on his faith in God and his desire to overcome addiction, he is now drug free and has chosen to share his story. On Monday, RULH students had several questions for Santoriello after hearing his story.
"I called out to a power higher than myself," he said to the students. "The reason I have a good life today is because I put that (party life) behind me."
"Drugs kills," said Santoriello, who claimed drugs caused him to die twice before overcoming he was able to overcome his addiction.
Other speakers included Brown County Sheriff Elect Gordon Ellis. Ellis gave students a law enforcement perspective on the drug problem among teens.
"Right now, heroin kills more people in the United States than traffic accidents," said Ellis.
"Addicts will tell you they will forego food and they will forego anything else to get their heroin," Ellis explained to the students.
According to Ellis, throughout his 30-year career in law enforcement he has not ran into one addict who did not start out by using marijuana.
Also addressing RULH High School students with Bubp's team of speakers were Andy Baughe, Investigator with Brown County Jobs and Family Services; and Jill Light, counselor with Child Focus who works two days a week in the RULH School District.
Bubp and his group of speakers will continue their visits to schools in Brown County, promoting the same message in encouraging students to make wise choices in their lives and avoid drug abuse.

I was so excited when I got an email from them letting me know I got my first sale. It has been months since I set up the shop with some styled photos like the one below. I'm glad someone wanted to use it. I really hope to add more photos soon. If you know me, I also make plushies. They take a bit longer to create and also cost me more in fabric and material so that has been pending on the site. I will eventually get some of them in my store. But in the mean time, please visit my Etsy shop PetiteCreationsByGio. If you are also an Etsy store owner, feel free to comment and leave your link.

8:30 p.m. Friday, ESPN/ALT; 950 AM, 104.3 FM
Spotlight on Kevin Durant: In Wednesday's 119-74 rout of the New Orleans Hornets, Durant had a triple-double in just 27 minutes, tallying 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Only six NBA players, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, have registered a triple-double in a game that his team won by 45 or more points. Two were Nuggets — Fat Lever in 1987 and Marcus Camby in 2008.
Thunder: Oklahoma City leads the NBA with 106.8 points per game. Denver is third at 105.5. … The Thunder has lost four of its past five games on the road. … The Thunder dominates in numerous important categories — point differential (first in the NBA), field-goal percentage (third), 3-point percentage (second) and free-throw shooting (first).
Nuggets: When the Nuggets started the season with 17-of-23 games on the road, much was made about the Doug Moe system, named after Denver's former coach, which gives a team a plus-one for a road win, minus-one for a home loss. Well now, with a month-and-a-half left in the season, Denver remains one of the better teams in the Doug Moe system. The Nuggets are fifth in the NBA at plus-10 (trailing only the Thunder, Clippers, Heat and Spurs). … In his past eight games, point guard Ty Lawson has averaged 26.1 points and eight assists, while shooting 52.8 percent from the field. … The Nuggets scored 72 points in the paint in Wednesday night's 111-109 victory at Portland.

A View From the Moving Truck: Hearst Magazines
If nobody knows all your secrets quite like your doorman does, nobody knows a magazine quite like the dude who's helping coordinate its move into a new office tower. A guy involved with getting the Hearst titles out of their old offices en route to the Foster building (but: "I'm not a mover," he assured us) has learned a lot from his experience — that Bazaar girls are gorgeous and self-important, that CosmoGIRL! chicks drink communal beer, and that there's no way Hearst's new digs will be as cushy as Rodale's. We're skeptical on that last point, but, still Not-a-Mover's full report on the Hearst trek awaits after the jump.
1) Most of these people are movin' on up.
•l By and large the offices that are being vacated are disgusting on every level. Corporate grey-and-beige bland compounded by a lack of cleanliness that would give meth addicts pause.
• The one exception so far have been the former offices of Seventeen. Well designed and appealing. Looked like a cool place to work.
2) Everyone at Harper's Bazaar is young, thin, and beautiful.
• I have never shared so few square feet with so many gorgeous women. That being said they were much more high-strung and self-important than the other Hearsters I've run into. (I wonder if they're hiring.)
3) Town & Country has the nicest staff.
• Helpful and genuinely grateful for the help moving.
4) The Cosmo Girl! girls are a great bunch.
• Sweet, pretty, gracious and they offered me a beer from the twelve-pack they were polishing off (a just-trendy-enough Stella). Who turns down free beer? Plus, you gotta love the exclamation point.
• I found a single shoe wedged under the mini fridge in one woman's cubicle. Damn, I wish I'd been at that Christmas party. And who gets a fridge in their cubby?
I don't know what they're moving into (I'm not involved on that side of the move), but they've got some stiff competition if they want to keep up with Rodale. Granola + yoga = great offices. The pantries were all stocked with fresh fruit, Nantucket Nectars, and healthy junk food. Even better, the fridges were stocked with Corona and bottles of Grey Goose. (I'm not kidding, it was all I could do to restrain myself.)

Grand Re-Opening?
I heard a rumor that they were redoing the place to make it more of a live music venue in at least one area… with full on stage. Not sure if that means they just took the third floor and put a new coat of paint on it or not.
Last time they redid it, they added all those screens and seating areas on the 3rd floor…it was a nice touch, too bad people don't go there because the music is so bad on Saturday's.

Sometimes we need reminders of our Jollof-powered potential. Here are ten TAL-approved career inspiring TED Talks to help you through the workweek.
Zain Ejiofor Asher, Trust Your Struggle
Nigerian Zain Ejiofor Asher had a hardcore African upbringing. Her story of her Nigerian tiger-mom's determination for her to get into Oxford is one made for storybooks. It worked, she got into Oxford and went on to Columbia and become a CNN anchor covering international news. As a receptionist, Zain knew what she wanted and went after it. Along the way she learned that working hard isn't the only ingredient for success. Zain confirms that there is truth to the adage, preparation is the key to success. She tells us to become a master preparer like her brother Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Chioma Omeruah, Don't be a Waste
I laughed so hard watching Nigerian Chioma Omeruah take us through her journey of finding her purpose. With a ball of energy and through multiple accents ( a Latina, Nigerian, British, and American) Chioma will make you want to take life by the reins and just live—on your own terms. "People are hustling and you are sleeping, don't be a waste." – Chioma Omeruah
Dr. J. Nozipo Maraire, Indigenous versus Indi-genuis
Here at TAL, Zimbabwean Neurosurgeon and Writer J. Nozipo Mariare's book: Zenzele: A Letter for My Daugther is a first-gen must read. We live and breathe this book. Not only has Dr. Maraire blessed us with her amazing book, she goes on to deliver a powerful talk on how we can change our mindset to create opportunities for others and ourselves. She connects the dots between those who resign their lives to mediocrity and those who use their natural talent to flourish and make waves. Dr. Mariaire's energy is infectious in this rousing talk.
Amma Asante, The Power of Defining Yourself
Ghanaian-British Film Director, Amma Asante walks us through how she defined her own path as a black woman in an industry dominated by white males. Amma offers nuggets on the importance of actively defining yourself in order to guide your career. This video should be an inspiration to first-genners making their way in foreign lands with people who rarely look like us.
Kumla Dumor, Telling the African Story
We lost Ghanaian BBC Journalist Kumla Dumor way too soon. He left us this gem, "there is power in challenging conventional wisdom." Kumla encourages us to do our research, find the truth, and believe in the institutional knowledge we have to write and report on our stories.
Minna Salami, To Change the World, Change Your Illusions
Nigerian-Finnish Journalist and creator of MsAfropolitan.com, Minna Salami tells us to be wary of the one dimensional representation of the the African woman. She points us to the three representations of African womanhood – (1) the struggler, the woman who is fighting famine and despair (2) the survivor, the woman who made it out of the despair, but still looks beaten down (3) the Empowered woman, the woman who only became empowered after surviving a struggle. Minna points out that we are never shown the African woman who just sips green tea or simply relaxes. Let this TED talk remind you that we have multiple dimensions to our stories. Waking up each day to enjoy the simple things in life as a first-genner is an act of telling your story.
Maame Yaa Boafo, Being the Real Me Without Apology
Ghanaian MaameYaa reminds us that we can fervently pursue a career in the arts. Maame proudly shares that you can turn frowns into nods. Make no mistake about it, you will be underestimated or overlooked, but rest assured your time in the sun will come when you live authentically.
Ikenna Azuike, My Wakeup Call
Keep this quote by Nigerian-British Broadcaster Ikenna Azuike in your back pocket – "It is better being at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb then being at the top of a ladder you don't want to be on." Ikenna Azuike gave up a lucrative career as a Bank Attorney to become a satirical video blogger and broadcaster. Ikenna's outgoing and funny personality shines in this talk. We don't all need to be lawyers and doctors, art and satire can also move the world.
April Yvette Thomson, Re-writing Your History
The first five minutes of African American Tony-winning producer April Yvette Thomson's account of her kindergarten teacher calling her a liar because her parents taught her that she's from West Africa will have you in stitches. April owns her history and tells us to write on a daily basis to dump out the negative self-talk to find clarity.
Somara Theodore, Evolving Identity of a First Generation American
Trinidadian-American Somara Theodore has a pretty cool job. She's a meteorologist for ABC Cleveland. Her talk on the complexities of balancing two cultures is preaching to the TAL choir. I loved her comment that likens the world of first-genners as a swinging pendulum. Somara eloquently tells us that our goal should be to find stability and balance as we swing from the pendulum of multiple cultures/realities/perspectives. What a great visual!

Wolves striker Steven Fletcher felt backed into a corner over his demand for a transfer to Sunderland.
The Journal says he felt forced into what for him is unwanted action when he discovered his current club had knocked back an improved £12m offer from the Black Cats, and showed no signs of any compromise at all.
Fletcher believed a deal could be done before the Premier League season begins a week on Saturday.
However, he was also concerned about ruining the good relationship at Wolves and hoped he would not have to ask to leave.
But the 25-year-old felt that this was the only way to force the Midlanders into accepting what many would consider to be an excellent offer for a player of his calibre.

Matt Sandusky: Dad abused me
As jury deliberates fate of ex-coach, lawyers say adopted son attacked
Published 10:20 pm, Thursday, June 21, 2012
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Lawyers for one of Jerry Sandusky's adopted sons said the man has told authorities the former Penn State assistant football coach abused him.
The lawyers issued a statement Thursday naming Matt Sandusky, one of Jerry Sandusky's six adopted children, and saying that the 33-year-old had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors at his father's sex abuse trial.
"During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky's abuse," Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici wrote in the statement. "At Matt's request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators."
The statement was released after jurors began deliberating Thursday afternoon, with talks expected to last into the evening.
"This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment."
The statement, which did not detail the nature of the alleged abuse against the son, was issued after jurors in the ex-coach's child sex abuse trial began deliberating 48 charges against him. The jurors are sequestered during deliberations.
Lawyers for Matt Sandusky and prosecutors did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Karl Rominger, one of Jerry Sandusky's lawyers, did not comment.
Matt Sandusky went to live with Sandusky and his wife, Dottie, as a foster child and was adopted by them as an adult.
Shortly after the former coach's arrest in November, Matt Sandusky's ex-wife went to court to keep her former father-in-law away from their three young children. Jill Jones successfully obtained a restraining order forbidding the children from sleeping over at their grandparents' home.
At around the same time, details emerged that Matt Sandusky had attempted suicide just four months after first going to live with the couple in 1995. He had come into the home through The Second Mile charity, which Jerry Sandusky founded, and was first a foster child before being legally adopted.

This is pretty funny.
Great, ruin it for everyone else. Stupid woman, do you want to have your hand held your entire life.
Quite late.
Anyways, looks like Paswall couldn't Throughglass.
Its comforting to know she is still driving.
on another note, I am suing the city because I walked into a lamp post yesterday. I mean I know they have tried to make them visible and all, with those non translucent materials and most people don't have the problem of not seeing them. But I have perfect vision, so they didn't try hard enough to make them visible, its clear negligence on there part. slam dunk case.
But wait, we'll need to make a sign for that sign.
And a sign for that sign.
Really? suing because glass is too see through? What a dumb woman

Many businesses thought they had to buy their own phone system. Unfortunately, phone system buyers have learned many expensive lessons, the hard way.
The first lesson is that they have to pay the vendor to install it (Big Bucks).
Next, they must usually buy a maintenance contract. Typically 15% – 20% of the phone system price, every year.
But the biggest lesson is that now they're locked into old technology, even if they bought a state of the art system – which they usually don't .
A phone system bought only one year ago, is already outdated, and almost obsolete. If you don't believe it, try to sell one.
By outsourcing your phone system to American Voice MailR , you can subscribe to, and pay monthly for, only the exact features you want to
use. It's called a Virtual Phone System.
Scale up and down as staff comes and goes. Add a feature for one extension or all extensions, and only pay for what you use. You can experiment with new features with no obligation to keep them.
Customer service is free, and you can change anything you want, as often as you want, at no charge, unless you buy something more.
You have no cost of maintenance, and it's up to us to keep current with technology. Our systems are far more robust, with far more features, and are far more customizable than most phone systems
costing hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars.

The garden Looking great Rosa! I was suprised though that no one metioned putting in vegetalbes and fruit. There are loads of stunners out there that would fit in beuatufly and you could do it a little potager style If you prefoer not to grow fruint and veg, then herbs are wonderful and would be perfect growing along the edging of the bed.
I would always reccommend growing a tree that is going to help the envoroment around you. Confirs don't give much back and are very good at drying the ground and making it accidic. Have you thought about buying trees like the ones offered here:http://www.woodlandtrustshop.com/category/68-tree-mixes.aspx (Just gave you this link to help give an idea of good trees to plant ) that feed wildlife or even you!
RE: Bob the gardener: I've just done a quick search for you and this company, who I have personaly ordered from and bought "Autumn Treasure" rapsberry canes from last the autumn, do a mixed selection which looks like just what you are wanting!
Here's the link http://www.welshfruitstocks.co.uk/acatalog/Raspberry_Selection.html
My Runner beans just keep on giving this year! I really is a fantastic year for them! There must be 20+ flowers ready to open and set (although the production of beans will gradually reduce) so I should carry be able to on eating them this month I am planning to grow a green manure (hungarian grazing rye) but I just can't get to doing it yet due to the runners and courgettes! Have anything eles been successful this year?
Why not go for wildlife friendly and pick something like hawthorn?
Thanks for all your helpfull comments!
I would like some easy to look after house plants to fit in my uni flat. Do you have any suggustions?

Proposals to demolish Rickmansworth's only remaining hotel were unanimously thrown out by politicians after they judged the plans to be "not yet good enough".
The application to turn Long Island Exchange, in Victoria Close, into 31 residential units was rejected by Three Rivers councillors at the district's planning meeting last night.
This is the third time that contentious plans have been submitted to the council to build flats and houses on the site.
Leader of the Liberal Democrat-run council, Ann Shaw, said: "As you know, we have discussed this several times before. It is a matter of great concern, both to members of this committee and to residents."
Councillor Shaw said there was growing concern over the "impact" the development would have on Rickmansworth, neighbours of the hotel and on the conservation area.
She added: "This plan is less bad than others we have looked at but not yet good enough."
Councillor officers recommended to politicians that they reject the application, which sought to build 27 flats and four houses on the site.
One of the reasons why the proposals were recommended for refusal was because the listed locally important building "by reason of its historical and architectural merit makes a significant contribution to the local scene".
In a report submitted to the council, officers added: "The proposal would involve the loss of a locally important building which would adversely affect the character and appearance of the local scene."
The application is the third one to be submitted by property developer, Keay Homes, to Three Rivers to turn the hotel, which dates back to at least 1888, into homes.
A proposal was thrown out in December 2012 to demolish the hotel and build 87 flats and five town houses and a further application was thrown out in March 2013 to build 65 residential units.

Setting up a machine tool for different jobs can be a time-consuming, and thus expensive, proposition.
As many as several hours may be spent in preparing a machine tool for grinding, boring or drilling, and all to machine a single part. In the meantime, of course, the machine tool sits idle, sharply reducing its productivity.

Great walk to beach on dirt trail/road. Close to downtown for shopping and food. Quiet neighborhood of nice homes. House was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend.
This house was perfect for me. It was close to the highway and town but felt like I was out in the country. Caught up on much needed sleep. Especially loved how the home was filled with plants and beautiful art and artifacts. It was far more relaxing and luxurious than any hotel could be with the large deck for entertaining and great room for lounging. I loved the privacy. We had perfect weather and were out and about but would have had much fun with the books and games generously left there had it rained. My teenage boys were very content inside and out. I am happy to recommend this lovely home.

The Seattle Pacific University campus shooting that killed one and injured three others would have been more dire if another student had not acted quickly, said a professor who witnessed the violence. VPC
SEATTLE — A campus shooting that killed one and injured three others would have been more dire if another student had not acted quickly, said a professor who witnessed the violence.
Associate Professor Kevin Bolding, chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department at Seattle Pacific University, said he heard gunshots about 3:30 p.m. PT Thursday as he sat in his office, so he picked up his phone and called 911.
"I heard a shot outside my window and saw a man laying on the ground and a person holding a gun over him," said Bolding, who then heard another shot inside the building. "And I looked down from my office and saw one of my students sitting on top of somebody, and a big pile of shell casings. As far as I know, he tackled the shooter, took him out and saved us all."
In a statement filed in court Friday, Seattle police detectives wrote that the shooter, identified as Aaron R. Ybarra, 26, wanted to kill as many people as possible before killing himself.
But a student building monitor at Otto Miller Hall on campus confronted Ybarra, pepper-spraying him as he stopped to reload his shotgun. Engineering student Jon Meis, 22, then tackled him and subdued him with the help of others.
THURSDAY: 1 dead, 3 hurt in shooting at Seattle Pacific University
STORY: Seattle Pacific University, a conservative Christian school
Ybarra was booked into King County Jail late Thursday for investigation of homicide. On Friday afternoon, a judge found probable cause to hold Ybarra without bail.
"There are a number of heroes in this," Assistant Police Chief Paul McDonagh said. "The people around him (the gunman) stepped up."
On Twitter, many Seattle Pacific students were calling Meis a hero.
"If he hadn't done that, we would've been in much bigger trouble," Bolding said.
Meis has been a student security monitor and teaching assistant at the university, a 4,300-student private Christian school north of downtown, since January 2012, according to his LinkedIn profile. He has been an intern at Boeing since June 2013.
The student was among the four transported to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. A spokeswoman there said Friday that Meis wasn't injured but was suffering from mental anguish. He was treated and released Thursday.
"I was amazed that he was willing to risk all that for us," said Roman Kukhotskiy, 22, who was in the building when the violence broke out. If Jon didn't stop him, what's to say? I could have been the next victim."
He said Meis is getting married this summer and has accepted a job with Boeing.
Meis' family in Renton, Wash., had a message on the answering machine: "We ask that you please respect our privacy during this time while we recover." It also asked for prayers for the family of the student killed and for the university's surviving students.
Bolding was visibly shaken as he left the building Thursday, as were many of the students and staff that were on lockdown during the shooting and the investigation that followed.
"It's supposed to be a safe place," Bolding said. "I can't believe it happened here."
Paul Lee, 19, a freshman from Portland, Ore., died Thursday after being taken to the hospital. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray called Lee a "Korean-American student with a bright future."
Student Sarah Williams. 19, is in serious condition in the intensive care unit with wounds to her chest and abdomen and is now breathing on her own, officials said Friday afternoon. A 24-year-old male student, whose name was not released, is in satisfactory condition with pellet fragment wounds to his neck and chin and could go home Saturday.
The accused shooter was hospitalized twice in recent years for mental health evaluations, police in Mountlake Terrace, Wash., about 15 miles north of Seattle said. Assistant Chief Pete Caw said officers encountered Ybarra in 2010 and 2012.
Both times Ybarra was severely intoxicated and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, Caw said. In the October 2012 incident, officers found him lying in a roadway.
Ybarra's lawyer, public defender Ramona Brandes, said her client has long had mental health problems and is on suicide watch at the jail.
"We are so very shocked and sad over yesterday's shootings at SPU," Ybarra's family said in a statement. "We are crushed at the amount of pain caused to so many people. To the victims and their families, our prayers are with you."
Jason Wells said he met Ybarra at a bar and stayed friends. Wells thought Ybarra had an alcohol problem, so he took him under his wing.
"He seemed like a good kid, but he was dislodged from reality a little bit," Wells said. "I tried to get him on the right track, even letting him sleep on my couch. He kind of looked at me like a big brother."
Wells didn't remember any talk from Ybarra about guns or Seattle Pacific University, but he said his friend did act strangely at times.
"He would say, 'I'm going to kill everyone,' " Wells said. "I never took him seriously."
Seattle police said they have not determined the gunman's motive or intended target. Ybarra was not a student at the school.
Edmonds Community College officials said Ybarra had been a student there but had not taken classes since summer 2012.
Seattle Pacific student Chris Howard helped two of the students who were injured Thursday.
"I was working on a project in machine shop after I was done with classes for the day. I'm just dremeling and doing stuff that you do in the machine shop and one of my friends from thermodynamics class rushes in — obviously frantic and looking behind him — and first thing he says is, 'Close the door behind me. Are the other doors locked?' " Howard said.
"One person runs to the garage door and closes it, and we start ripping the first aid kit off of the wall because he had a couple of marks on his neck that were bleeding, Howard said. "We didn't know what happened."
Howard and others in the room put gauze on the victim's neck as he mentioned the shooting. Then Howard went to find additional medical help.
"(In) the hallway in the part of the machine shop, I see another student kneeling over someone that's lying down," he said. "I see the person who's lying down, their chest is red and appears to have a tourniquet around their arm. I basically get instructed to have her head on my lap."
Her phone was covered in blood, but she asked those helping her to look through her phone for her mother, aunt and best friend.
"She was panicking," Howard said. "She said 'I think I'm going to die.' "
At least three fatal shootings have taken place on college campuses across the USA since the beginning of the year: In January, teaching assistant killed a fellow TA at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. Later that month, a student killed another student at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. In March, police officers at Columbus State University in Georgia killed a man seen loading a gun near on-campus apartments.
Other universities have been put in lockdown as shooters wounded students who survived. Still other shootings, including a May 23 rampage that killed six in Isla Vista, Calif., have taken place near campuses.
Friday was to have been the final day of classes for the spring quarter at Seattle Pacific University. They were canceled, but faculty was asked to come to campus to be available to students.
The university had a prayer service at noon PT at First Free Methodist Church on campus. Final exams are next week.

Microsoft Corp. will be constrained in a contest against Apple Inc. in the market for handheld computers, by unveiling a tablet that doesn't work with some of the most widely used downloadable applications.
The Surface RT, a tablet that runs the latest version of Microsoft's flagship operating system and goes on sale today, won't feature applications for Facebook Inc.'s social-networking service or Apple's iTunes music store.
Microsoft introduced the new Windows Thursday, packing it with touch-screen capabilities, giving it a new look and feel and ensuring that it's compatible with some popular apps, including Hulu LLC and Netflix Inc.
Still, the company won't say how many apps are available for the operating system, and the lack of a broad range of games, tools and other downloadable software will detract from the Surface in a head-to-head comparison against the iPad and its plethora of more than 275,000 apps.
"Part of me had hoped that we'd see more killer apps," said Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft in Kirkland, Wash. "Consumers who buy into the platform on Friday — unless we start seeing an abundance of apps — are buying into a promissory note that the apps will arrive."
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer launched the biggest overhaul of his company's flagship software in almost two decades at an event Thursday in New York. The new Windows reflects the rising stakes of a contest with Apple and Google Inc. for the loyalty of customers shunning personal computers for mobile devices. It goes on sale today.
"This is the biggest product we've ever done," Ballmer said in an interview with Bloomberg Television, comparing it to the arrival of the personal computer in 1981 and the introduction of Windows 95.
The number of apps in the Windows store is critical because machines with the Windows RT operating system, including the first iteration of the Surface and four other devices from partners, can't run existing Windows programs. Windows RT devices can run only those expressly written for the app store.
Machines with Windows 8, which run chips from Intel Corp., can run older Windows programs.
Downloadable applications have become central to the way customers use tablet computers, and one of Apple's selling points is its leadership in apps. The company introduced a low-cost version of the iPad earlier this week, part of CEO Tim Cook's effort to keep budget-conscious shoppers from inexpensive tablets sold by competitors such as Amazon.com Inc. The iPad mini is available for early orders today, the same day Surfaces hit stores.
Microsoft is relying on the new operating system to revive interest in the personal computer and carve out a position for Windows in the tablet market, which is picking up consumers defecting from PCs.
The PC market will contract by 1.2 percent to 348.7 million units this year, according to IHS ISuppli. That would be the first annual decline since 2001.
Microsoft has had a lot of interest in writing for the operating system and has had to add staff and computers to process and approve the submissions, Antoine Leblond, vice president in charge of the Windows app store, said in an interview.
Because apps written for the program can be sold not just to tablet users, but to hundreds of millions of customers who will get Windows 8 on personal computers, Microsoft has a chance to win over more developers, Leblond said.
Miller's own examination of the Windows app store indicates there were 7,873 apps worldwide earlier this week, with hundreds being added daily.
Facebook, for example, only writes apps for Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating system, and the company opted not to do Windows, a person familiar with the matter said in May. Microsoft could have written a Facebook app on its own using Facebook's open standards, which is what the Windows Phone group did.
"Facebook will or will not decide write an app," Leblond said. "That's their decision to make. We're not going to build a native app for them."
Leblond also notes that Windows RT customers can go to Facebook's website and get a similar experience to the app.
Besides Hulu and Netflix, the new Windows will also have apps such as the Skype Internet-calling service and Evernote Corp.'s note-taking tool. A version of Rovio Entertainment Oy's Angry Birds will be available Nov. 8.

Sitagliptin Dose Determination Study
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

|Condition or disease
|Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
|Drug: Sitagliptin
|Phase 4
Hide Detailed Description
Rationale: Sitagliptin has been extensively studied in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but there are no documented studies in the literature to establish a safe and efficacious dose in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Our previous experience with exenatide, which is a GLP-1 agonist and also with similar end pharmacological effects as Sitagliptin and other related published studies suggest that to avoid immediate post-prandial hypoglycemia insulin dose needs to be reduced when patients administer glucagon suppressors in conjunction with insulin. Hence, the dose of insulin will be decreased by 20-50% when Sitagliptin will be administered.
Sitagliptin will be given in three different doses to T1DM subjects within 3 months of diagnosis and also in a group of subjects > 1 year of their diagnosis. A paired crossover design study aims to establish an effective glucose-lowering dose that will additionally minimize side effects. Furthermore, only 18-30 year old subjects who are diagnosed with T1DM for a year or more will be studied initially (4 subjects) to establish safety data before younger subjects are recruited into the study. The data will be un-blinded after the completion of the first two adult subjects in order to analyze preliminary data and also to reapply for funding. Data Safety Monitoring Board will meet before the initiation of the study and before children are enrolled into the study. The safety data after the meeting will be submitted to the IRB for review.
Specific Aim: To establish a safe and an effective glucose-lowering dose of Sitagliptin in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) when used along with rapid acting insulin which will normalize post-prandial hyperglycemia and reduce hyper-glucagonemia and delay gastric emptying.
Hypothesis: A dose-response effect of Sitagliptin will be observed on gastric emptying and glucagon suppression in both new and established subjects with T1DM.
Study Design: Following informed consent (and with appropriate subject assent), each subject with TIDM will undergo 5 study visits: Screening, Part A (Sitagliptin 25 mg), Part B (Sitagliptin 50 mg), Part C (Sitagliptin 100 mg), and Part D (Placebo). A randomized double-blinded trial with a 4-period crossover design will be used to establish an ideal Sitagliptin dose for the adult age group (18-30 years). The adult study subject's and the study staff (except one person) will be blinded to the dose of Sitagliptin and they will do all the study Parts A, B, C and D in random order.
Montefiore Medical Center (MMC) Investigational pharmacy and one of the study staff (excluding the PI) will be un-blinded to the protocol for doing the randomization table, dispensing, checking the dose of study medication and scheduling the study visits (done by the study staff person). For the pediatric age group (13-17 years) it will be single blinded trial with single ascending dose sequential study. Pediatric study subject's will be blinded to the dose of Sitagliptin and they all will start with the placebo part and then proceed with the study parts with Sitagliptin 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg dose in a sequential order. The participants will be admitted to the CRC on four occasions for the Parts A, B, C and D and each admission will be 3-4 weeks apart.
Inclusion/ Exclusion Criteria Subjects with T1DM in the age group of 12-30 years without any concomitant illnesses except treated hypothyroidism will be recruited and also have an HbA1C less than 9 %. Menstruating women must have a negative pregnancy test. Lactating and pregnant women will be excluded and anyone with anemia defined by Hemoglobin of less than 12 gm/dl. Also, subjects with a history of substance abuse (evaluated by medical history and CRAFFT questionnaire which will be administered at the screening visit) will be excluded. The subject's should not be on any other medication which affects blood sugars.
Screening: After signing a consent form, a screening evaluation will be performed up to 28 days prior to study enrollment in the CRC for the Parts A, B, C or D. The evaluation will consist of medical history, physical examination (including height, weight, vital signs and tanner staging), and blood samples for clinical laboratory tests: CBC, LFTs, amylase, lipase, creatinine and HbA1C. The approximate volume of blood drawn is expected to be 12 ml. CRAFFT questionnaire will be administered. Also each subject will have a Dexcom™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring System inserted. It has three parts - a glucose sensor that is inserted subcutaneously, a transmitter which connects to the sensor electrode and is attached to the body and a receiver which displays the glucose values. It gets updated every 5 minutes. The subject will need to wear it for 7 days. Also, they will be asked to keep a log on diet, insulin and exercise while wearing the CGMS. We will try to schedule the next visit with in the 7 day period while they are on the CGMS so that they are admitted while their glucose levels are relatively stable. We will give an extra sensor with instructions on how to wear it in case they cannot come to the next visit with in the week.
Part A: The subjects will be admitted into the CRC around 6:30 AM. Vitals will be taken. IV will be placed and blood will be drawn to measure Stat CBC, HbA1C, Liver function tests, Serum Amylase, Serum Lipase and Serum Creatinine. Study will be continued only if their Hemoglobin is greater than 12 gm/ dl. Urine pregnancy test will be done for all female subjects prior to study. Insulin infusion through the subcutaneous pump will be continued or long acting analog, glargine will be given as per home regimen.
BLOOD SAMPLING AND MEDICATIONS: At approximately 0700 baseline blood samples will be drawn prior to study start for: glucose, insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, DPP-4 activity and Sitagliptin. Also, there will be blood draws at the following time points: -240 min, -180 min, -60 min, 0 min, 4 hrs. prior to the mixed meal and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 360 min after. The insulin pump basal rate (or glargine) will be set to continue as per home regimen. Sitagliptin 25 mg will be administered at this point. At around 1100 (0 min), the pre-breakfast insulin bolus of rapid acting insulin will be given at 0 min. The insulin dose will be based on the patient's usual insulin to carbohydrate ratio. This dose will be reduced by 20-50% and the subject will be offered a standard liquid meal of Boost High Protein Drink, 12 Oz. (360 calories, 50 g of carbohydrates and 12 g of fat) and asked to consume it within a 10-15 minute period. This will be enriched with 1 gram of [1- 13C] glucose. Expired 13CO2 will be determined in breath at -240, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 360 min. Lunch will be provided after 240 min and an insulin bolus of rapid acting insulin will be given through the insulin pump (calculated according to subject's insulin to carbohydrate ratio and sensitivity factor) or through an insulin injection. They will stay for 2 more hours for the 360 min blood draw. Blood glucose concentrations will be measured at the bedside using an Analox glucose analyzer. Sitagliptin being a 24 hr medication pk data will be obtained at 0 and 360 min. For safety reasons the subject's will be put on a Dexcom CGMS and they will wear for a week. During this period they will keep a log sheet in which they will note the blood glucose, food and exercise activity. They will return that using a prepaid envelope which will be provided. The subject will be discharged after this. They will not be paid separately for transportation, parking or child care. A social security number will be required. It will be kept confidential. For minors, compensation will be given to the parent, but it is intended for the child.
A subject will be withdrawn from participating in the study if he/she meets any of the following conditions: 1) develops a chronic disease 2) develops anemia 3) becomes pregnant 4) develops a weight loss of greater than 10 pounds for unspecified reasons 5) loss of contact- if we are unable to reach a study subject (within 2 months of screening or completion of the first study) by phone or mail to schedule the next appointment. All study subjects (that are withdrawn from the study) will receive a phone call and a letter notifying them that they have been withdrawn. Blood samples will be kept for 20 years because some of the assays have not been developed for some of the hormone analyses. Since it is difficult to perform clinical studies in pediatrics, we feel it is better to bank blood samples and perform hormone analyses as newer assays become available rather than repeating the study.
Treatment of Hypoglycemia: If blood glucose values in a subject are less than 55 mg/dl, IV glucose of 5-10gm, or if blood glucose less than 50 mg/dl, 10-15 g will be administered for countering low blood glucose to achieve euglycemia (90-130 mg/dl). 1-2 doses of IV glucose should correct hypoglycemia. If more than 3-4 doses are required to achieve euglycemia, the study will be terminated and the subjects will be offered a meal tray and blood sugar rechecked to ensure euglycemia. After the completion of the first 2 study subjects, the data safety and monitoring committee will assess safety of the protocol, as well as drug doses and adjustments to the protocol will be made. If hypoglycemia occurs even with the reduced dose of insulin, further reduction in insulin dose will be advised. The total blood draw volume will be 175.4 cc (3/4 cup) for Part A, B, C and 121.4 cc (1/2 cup) for Part D.
Each study will be 3-4 weeks apart. Prior to each part, hemoglobin must be >12 g/dl and a female subject should test negative for pregnancy. Part B: Will be identical as part A except that Sitagliptin dose will be 50 mg. Part C: Will be identical as part A except that Sitagliptin dose will be 100 mg. Part D: Will be identical as part A except that the study subject will receive a placebo. In all the Parts B, C, D urine pregnancy test will be done before the visit for all female subjects. Also after each Part A, B, C, D the subject will be on Dexcom™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring System for 7 days and after that they will send that back to us using a prepaid mailing envelope.
Statistical Analysis Power Calculation: Data from an earlier trial determined that the mean area under the curve (AUC) for children with T1DM with insulin alone was 470 mg*hr/dl. The current trial is designed to detect a 20% difference in mean AUC for glucose in the 300 min period to 376 mg*hr/dl. In our previous study, r > 0.7 was noted between repeated measures (in same subjects) and that the standard deviation for our excursion measure AUC is approximately 30%. With these specifications the necessary sample size is 11 subjects. With a 40% drop out rate we would need a total of 15 subjects with TIDM. Power calculations were based on an alpha of 0.5 and power of 80% and two-tailed test. To stratify them in to recent onset Vs established onset we will recruit 15 of each (n = 30). Data Analysis: AUC will be determined for glucose for a 300 min time period for all 4 studies and a two-tailed, repeated measures analysis of variance will be performed. A modified paired t-test will be used for post hoc multiple comparison. Regression analysis will be used to calculate a dose response curve for each individual and the hypothesis will hold true at a significance of 0.05. Similar analysis will also be carried out for insulin and glucagon. The pharmacokinetics of Sitagliptin will be analyzed by model dependent and model-independent means. AUC, plasma clearance, half-life and steady state volumes of distributions will be among the parameters determined. Pharmacokinetic data will be analyzed using ADAPT II software. The initial curve fits will be performed with the weighted least squares algorithm. Other strategies will be invoked as appropriate.

What's being said in the forum now?Click to join the Vital Rotherham forum!
This is Geoff's first season as a League referee and his first visit to Don Valley.
I am struggling for information on Geoff though he was the Fourth Official in a Conference Play-Off Final at Wembley. I also found out that he is the first referee promoted to the Football League Referees' List from the Sunderland Referees' Association since George Tyson in the late 1970's. And, he lists one of the biggest decisions in his life was ditching his Sunderland Season Ticket so he could become a referee!
So far this season, Geoff has officiated in eleven games, giving out twenty-five yellow and two red cards.
The men with the flags on Saturday will be
MJ Denton from Lancashire and SAJ Duncan from Tyne and Wear
The Fourth Official will be
M Griffiths from South Yorkshire

10 Must-Haves for Apple Picking with Kids
1. A wagon. Actually, just bring two. Because when your kids get tired, about five minutes in, they'll begin competing for a seat, not only with each other, but also with the five bags of apples you're picking.
2. A math degree. You'll need one to figure out how many apples to pounds to pecks to bushels and back it will take to make six quarts of applesauce, two apple pies, and still have a dozen left-over for snacking.
3. More than one apple picker. Otherwise be prepared for 1.5 to 2 hours of straight whining about how life is so unfair because "he got to pick more apples than meeeeee."
4. First-Aid kit. Because when somebody gets clotheslined by the extra apple picker that was being used as a Jedi light saber, you'll need it.
5. A change of clothes. For when your children get bored after 10 minutes of apple-picking and begin rolling around on the ground pretending to make snow angels in the rotting squashed apples.
6. A Leash. For your youngest child that takes off running through the orchard, climbing trees, throwing apples, and singing nanny-nanny-boo-boo, while you're either picking all the apples yourself, trying to stop the light saber fight, or intervening in a game of apple-smashing baseball.
7. Your spouse. Because you'll realize that this was the stupidest endeavor you've ever undertaken alone with your kids.
8. A gold brick. Because that's what it's gonna cost you for a peck…or bushel…or whatever!..of apples. You think, hey, we're bound to save some money by picking them ourselves…cut out the middle man… Yeah, just throw that thinking right in the trash. You're paying for the experience, Sista! And don't forget to add in the pony rides, petting zoo, and bounce house, all times the number of your offspring.
9. An extra refrigerator. Because when you get home, you'll realize that's the only way to keep the apples fresh. And those five bushels you bought won't fit in the cheese drawer. So just head to Sears now.
10. Lastly, extra butt wipes. For later that night, when your kids get the Hershey Squirts from eating a dozen not-quite-ripe apples. You'll want to have those bad boys handy.
|…and if you're lucky, you can get them on clearance.
Oh, and be sure to wear the absolutely coolest hat and outfit to the orchard. Just like I did here.
