Research is clear that there is an inextricable link between students' emotional and mental health and their ability to learn. A student is not able to benefit from the educational program if the student is suicidal or if the student is preoccupied by concerns about someone who may be thinking about suicide. Few events have greater impact than suicide upon students, parents, and staff. The Student Services and Alternative Programs Branch staff is committed to providing technical assistance about effective youth suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention (i.e., support and assistance for those affected by a completed suicide.)
Suicide continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States and in Maryland. According to the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide continues to be the third leading cause of death for youth in the United States and in Maryland. During 2014, Maryland lost 73 youth due to suicide. The results of the 2014 Maryland Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) indicate 12.7% of Maryland high school students reported making a plan to commit suicide in the past twelve months, and 15.9% seriously considered attempting suicide during the previous year. The data demonstrate the importance of the statewide Youth Suicide Prevention School Program established in the Annotated Code of Maryland §7-503.
The Maryland program establishes a shared responsibility between educational programs at the State and local levels and community suicide prevention and crisis center agencies. The recommended statewide program includes:

The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful little computer that fits in the palm of your hand, yet packs enough power to run your home media center, a VPN, and a lot more. Before you can do anything awesome, however, you need to configure it and install an operating system. Here's how.
Update: We've created a new, always-up-to-date guide for setting up your Raspberry Pi that includes all the newest information, check that post out instead.
It's Raspberry Pi week at Lifehacker, and for the next five days we'll be showing you some cool DIY projects you can put together with this little miracle of a device. If you haven't bought one yet, check out the first section below to learn more about what it is, what you'll need, and the cool stuff you can do with one.
Update: Raspberry Pi week is over! Check out these Raspberry Pi guides to see all the fun stuff we did, and check out our Raspberry Pi tag for more cool projects.
This past week, we walked you through some of the common projects people tackle with their Raspberry Pi, like:
What's a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a very capable mini computer that's small enough to fit in your pocket (even though you'd probably never keep it there). For about $35-40, you get a caseless computer with HDMI and analog composite video output. You can add up to two USB devices (which, in most cases, will be a mouse and keyboard) and connect it to the internet via wired ethernet. The Raspberry Pi is powerful and inexpensive, allowing you to create a home media center, internet radio, or even your own VPN server on the cheap. That said, a little setup and a lot of other parts are required to get it up and running. In this post we'll take a look at how to get a Raspberry Pi set up so you can start using it for a variety of purposes.
What You'll Need
The Raspberry Pi may be a computer all on its own, but you'll still need a lot of other things to make it work:
A Raspberry Pi: If you're not sure where to buy one, you'll find links below to help you out.
An HDMI- or composite video-capable television or monitor: In this post we'll be working with an HDMI-capable monitor because it offers better resolution and built-in sound. You can use analog if you want, however.
An HDMI or composite video cable: You'll need this cable to connect your Raspberry Pi to your television or monitor.
A 4GB Class 4 SD card (or better) and a card reader (if you don't have one built into your computer): Most SD cards will work, but some aren't compatible and will therefore cause issues. You can find out which cards are compatible, or locate a place to buy a compatible card with an operating system pre-installed, on this page.
A USB keyboard and mouse: Any standard USB keyboard or mouse will do. Wireless (non-Bluetooth) peripherals worked for me, but I had to unplug them and plug them back in after the Raspberry Pi booted. You'll have fewer issues with fully wired keyboards and mice.
An ethernet cable: Any standard ethernet cable will do. You only need this to connect to your network and the internet, however, so you can leave this item out if desired.
A good quality, micro USB power supply that can provide at least
700mA at 5V: Most modern smartphone chargers supply 700mA at 5V, but not all do. Check the bottom of your charger and look for a block of text. You'll see its output values in that text which may read 0.7A instead of 700mA). If it offers at least that much power, you're probably good to go. Just don't use a poor quality charger or you may run into problems.A 3.5mm stereo audio cable: You only need this if you're using analog video and want to connect your Raspberry Pi to a set of external speakers or internal ones on your television or monitor.
You can find the majority of those items pretty much anywhere, but Raspberry Pi units are difficult to come by due to popular demand. Here are a few places to try that often have a few in stock:
Adafruit (the kit is almost always in stock if the singular unit isn't)
Amazon (almost always in stock, but through third parties at a premium)
Allied Electronics (only available in North America)
Once you've got your Raspberry Pi, you can start setting it up!
How to Set Up Your Raspberry Pi with a Basic Operating System
You can use the Raspberry Pi for all sorts of different things—some of which may require their own special operating systems—but to start out, it's a good idea to get acquainted with the Pi by installing Raspbian, a Raspberry Pi-focused version of Linux. Here's what you need to do.
Step One: Prepare Your SD Card
First things first, we need to prepare your SD card for the Raspberry Pi. This involves formatting it properly and putting Raspbian, the standard Raspberry Pi operating system, on it. The steps vary depending on whether or not you're on a Mac, Linux, or Windows PC, so just follow the instructions for your operating system below.
Download the lastest version of Raspbian and unzip the .img file inside. (It's almost 500MB so it may take a little while to download.)
Download Win32DiskImager and unzip the application (.exe file) inside.
Insert your SD card into your Windows PC using a card reader.
Open Win32DiskImager.exe, the application you just downloaded, by double-clicking on it. If you're running Windows 7 or 8, right click on it and choose "Run as Administrator" instead.
If your SD card isn't automatically detected by the application, click on the drop-down menu at the top right (labeled "Device") and choose it from the list.
In the image file section of the application, click the little folder icon and choose the Raspbian .img file you just downloaded.
Click the Write button and wait for Win32DiskImager to do its thing. When it finishes, you can safely eject your SD card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi.
Download the lastest version of Raspbian and unzip the .img file inside. (It's almost 500MB so it may take a little while to download.)
Download RPi-sd card builder (be sure to pick the appropriate version for your installed version of OS X) and unzip the application.
Insert your SD card into your Mac using a card reader.
Open RPi-sd card builder. You'll immediately be asked to choose a Raspbian image. Choose the .img file you downloaded earlier.
You'll be asked if your SD card is connected. Since we inserted it earlier, it is, so go ahead and click Continue. You'll be presented with SD card options. If you only have one inserted, you won't see anything else in the list and it'll be checked. If not, just check only the card you want to use and click OK.
Enter your administrator password and click OK.
You'll be asked if the SD card was ejected. This is supposed to happen, as the application needs to unmount it so it can perform a direct copy. Double-check that your SD card is no longer available in the Finder. DO NOT remove it from your USB port. When you're sure, click Continue.
RPi-sd card builder finishes prepping your SD card, safely eject it and insert it into your Raspberry Pi unit.
RPi-sd card builder isn't an app so much as it's an Automator action that acts like one. Some people have reported issues using it, so if you run into problems just open up the Terminal app (Your Hard Drive → Applications → Utilities → Terminal) and follow the instructions for Linux.
Download the lastest version of Raspbian and unzip the .img file inside. (It's almost 500MB so it may take a little while to download.)
Open up your Linux terminal emulator of choice. If you don't have one, try our favorite.
Insert your SD card. If it mounts automatically, unmount it but make note of its location (e.g. /dev/disk2s1). Even though the card is unmounted, do not remove it from the reader
In the command line, you're going to need to type a single line to copy the contents of the Raspbian .img file to your SD card. It'll look like this:
sudo dd if=PATH_TO_IMG_FILE of=PATH_TO_SD_CARD_MOUNT_POINT bs=1m
You'll need to replace PATH_TO_IMG_FILE with the path to the .img file and PATH_TO_SD_CARD_MOUNT_POINT with the path to the SD card mount point. (The bs=1m just specifies the byte size and you don't need to mess with it.) When you're done, the command should look something like this:sudo dd if=/Users/adachis/Downloads/2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk2s1 bs=1m
It's very important that you do not get this information wrong or you could end up writing Raspbian to the wrong disk and cause serious data loss. Be careful! When you're sure you've got everything right, press enter.You will be prompted for the root password (or your administrator password for those of you on OS X who are using this method). Type it and press enter.
It'll take some time for the dd command to copy everything over to your SD card. While that happens, it'll probably look like the Terminal froze up. Don't worry, it's still working and will likely take longer than an average 2GB copy to an SD card (so be patient). When it finishes, the command prompt will return and your SD card will be ready. Eject it safely and stick it in your Raspberry Pi.
Step Two: Hook Up Your Raspberry Pi
Connecting everything to your Raspberry Pi is pretty easy. Start by connecting the HDMI cable from the unit to your television (or monitor). If you're using the analog composite video connection instead, connect it to your television (or monitor) and plug in a set of speakers to the 3.5mm audio jack. If you want your Raspberry Pi to connect to your network and/or the internet, use an Ethernet cable to connect it to your router. If you've set up a computer before, this should all seem familiar.
Finally, you need to connect your Raspberry Pi with a micro USB power adapter. As mentioned earlier, you need an adapter that can provide at least 700mA at 5V. Fortunately, you probably already have one. Many smartphone and tablet chargers utilize micro USB and provide 700mA at 5V (or more). You can find out by reading the small text on the plug and looking for the output section. (Note: it may say 0.7A (or higher) instead of 700mA.) When you have a compatible power adapter on hand, connect it to a micro USB cable and then connect that cable to the micro USB port on your Raspberry Pi unit. It'll turn on all by itself and you should see it boot for the first time.
Step Three: Configure Your Raspberry Pi
Once your Raspberry Pi boots for the first time you'll need to configure a few things. You'll know it's ready for you when you see a Raspi-config window with a pretty big list of settings. You can mess with the others if you feel so inclined, but the only thing you really need to do is expand the file system so you can use up all the space on your SD card. To do so, follow these steps:
Select expand_rootfs (the second option) and press enter.
Confirm that you want to expand the file system and let Raspbian do its thing.
When you're returned to the configuration list, go all the way to the bottom and select the Finish option.
It'll ask you if you want to reboot. Choose yes.
Your Raspberry Pi will reboot and take a little longer this time because it needs to expand the file system. After a about a minute you'll be asked to log in. You'll need to use the default username and password:
Username: pi
Password: raspberry
Once you've logged in, you've got yourself a working Raspberry Pi. Congratulations!
Of course, this is far from the end. You can use your Pi as much more than just a tiny computer, so check out Lifehacker all week at 8:00 AM PT for how-tos on some of the coolest things you can do with it. Tomorrow we'll show you how to turn that tiny little board into a killer XBMC media center.

Tarsal Tunnel Treatment
in St. Louis and Chesterfield, MO
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is due to compression of a nerve called the Posterior Tibial Nerve.The nerve passes into the foot from around the inside of the ankle just below the ankle bone. Just beyond this point, the nerve enters the foot by passing between a muscle and a bone in the foot. This area is called the Tarsal Tunnel. Please call us 314-207-7280 to request a consultation about this treatable condition.
Must Know About This
- There are various causes of TTS, including benign cysts or tumors, inflammation of the tendon's sheath, and swelling from a broken or sprained ankle.
- Various conservative treatments, such as rest and manipulation are sometimes successful; and physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the ankle is also commonly prescribed.
- If non-invasive treatment measures fail, tarsal tunnel release surgery may be recommended to decompress the area.
Good to Know About This
- Also known as "posterior tibial neuralgia", because the tibial nerve is compressed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel.
- Symptoms can include numbness in the foot radiating to the big toe and the first three toes.
- Since the tibial nerve splits into three different segments, the pain can occur in different areas, including ankle pain.
Today is the day to find relief from your foot pain. Contact us now to get started!
More About This
The Posterior Tibial Nerve is the largest nerve that enters the foot. At the level of the ankle, the nerve branches out like the branches of a tree as it goes out toward the toes. This nerve supplies most of the sensation to the bottom of the foot and the muscles in the bottom of the foot. When pressure is placed on this nerve, a burning or numbness will be experienced on the bottom of the foot. The area of the bottom of the foot that is affected can be variable. Most commonly, it affects the outside portion of the bottom of the foot. It can also affect the toes, mimicking a neuroma. The most common cause of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is a flat foot or a foot in which the arch flattens excessively while walking. Over time, this causes the nerve to stretch or become compressed in the area of the tarsal tunnel. The condition is slowly progressive and occurs more commonly after 30 40 years of age. Other causes of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome are the formation of soft tissue masses such as ganglions, fibromas, or lipomas that may occur in the Tarsal Tunnel and cause compression of the nerve. Also, small varicose veins may form around the nerve that can also cause compression of the nerve.
Flattening of the arch of the foot is due to an abnormal function of a joint complex called the Subtalar Joint. This joint complex is located just below the ankle joint. When this joint allows the foot to flatten excessively, the foot becomes over pronated. Pronation is a normal movement of the foot, but when it occurs too much of the time, it causes several different problems to occur in the foot, one of them being Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.
Diagnosis of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is made by physical exam and the patient's history of their complaint. A history of gradual and progressive burning on the bottom of the foot should alert the doctor to the possible diagnoses. Physical exam will often reveal a flat foot or over-pronation of the foot that is observed when the patient walks. Observation of the area just below the ankle bone on the inside of the ankle may reveal a slight swelling. Tapping with the tips of the fingers or a neurological hammer in this area may reveal a tingling sensation in the bottom of the foot. X-rays may be of little value, because they will not show the nerve or reveal any evidence of soft tissue masses. X-rays may be useful in determining the extent of pronation of the foot but only if the x-ray is taken with the patient bearing full weight on the foot. An MRI may reveal the existence of a soft tissue mass, but will not demonstrate any damage to the nerve. Nerve conduction studies will reveal if there is damage to the Posterior Tibial Nerve, but will be negative in the early stages of the condition.
Treatment of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is directed at correcting the abnormal pronation of the foot. This is accomplished with functional foot orthotics. These devices are custom-made inserts for the shoes that correct abnormal function of the foot. Treatment with oral anti-inflammatory medications, vitamin B supplements, or steroids may provide some benefit, but are rarely curative. Calf muscle stretching can be useful, because it eases the tension and strain about the ankle joint. If the Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by a soft tissue mass, then surgical removal of the mass may be necessary. Surgical correction of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome in the absence of a soft tissue mass has a very low success rate. This surgery, called nerve decompression, is intended to release the pressure on the nerve by freeing the soft tissue structures about the nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel. This surgery does not correct the over-pronation of the foot, however, and functional foot orthotics should be worn following the surgery.
When there has been significant damage to the nerve, permanent nerve damage may be present. In this case, a complete cure is very unlikely, and treatment is directed at easing the symptoms. Certain medications available, by prescription from your doctor, may be beneficial for the burning pain that may be experienced at night. Magnetic insole therapy and Galvanic Nerve Stimulation are alternative forms of treatment that may provide relief. A referral to a pain medicine specialist may also be necessary.

Bread and rolls are the No. 1 source of salt in the American diet, accounting for more than twice as much sodium as salty junk food like potato chips.
That surprising finding comes in a government report released Tuesday that includes a list of the top 10 sources of sodium. Salty snacks actually came in at the bottom of the list compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn – which we think of as the saltiest foods in our diet – are only No. 10," said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden.
Breads and rolls aren't really saltier than many of the other foods, but people tend to eat a lot of them, said Mary Cogswell, a CDC senior scientist who co-authored the report.
Salt is the main source of sodium for most people, and sodium increases the risk of high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Health officials say most Americans get too much salt, mostly from processed and restaurant foods – not added from the salt shaker.
Experts have known that the sodium in breads and certain other foods can add up, but even CDC officials were amazed that just 10 foods are responsible for 44 percent of the sodium consumed.
"It's possible to eat a whole bunch of sodium without it seeming salty," noted John Hayes, an assistant professor of food science at Penn State, who was not involved in the report.
According to the CDC, breads and rolls account for about 7 percent of the salt that the average American eats in a day. Next on the list: cold cuts and cured meats; pizza; fresh and processed poultry; soups; fast-food hamburgers and sandwiches and cheese.
Rounding out the list – and accounting for about 3 percent each – are spaghetti and other pasta dishes; meatloaf and other meat dishes and snacks like potato chips and pretzels.
Dietary guidelines recommend no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day, equal to about a teaspoon of salt. Certain people, such as those with high blood pressure, should eat even less. But average sodium consumption in the U.S. is around 3,300 milligrams, the CDC study found. Only 1 in 10 Americans meet the teaspoon guideline.
The amount of sodium in food types can vary. For example, a slice of white bread can have between 80 and 230 milligrams of sodium. A cup of canned chicken noodle soup has between 100 and 940 milligrams and 3 ounces of luncheon meat has between 450 and 1,050 milligrams. A small 1 ounce bag of potato chips ranges from 50 to 200 milligrams.
The new CDC report is based on surveys of more than 7,200 people in 2007 and 2008, including nearly 3,000 children. Participants were surveyed twice, each time answering detailed questions about what they had eaten over the previous day. Researchers then broke down what they ate into categories, and assigned sodium amounts.
Salt reduction has become a recent focus of public health campaigns, and some major food makers have taken steps or announced plans to gradually reduce sodium in their products.
CDC officials – who have long encouraged people to eat more fruits and vegetables – stopped short of advising people to lay off the bread. But they are encouraging consumers to read labels and, for example, buy brands of bread that have lower sodium.
"People can choose how much salt to add to their food at the table. They can't take it out once it's there," Frieden said.
There's another way to consume less sodium. "Eat smaller portions," Hayes said.

The Indiana General Assembly
has approved a bill that will strengthen the state's position as a
global leader in the motorsports industry and create benefits for
economic development in tourism, hospitality and motorsports, including
upgrades and improvements at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
House Bill 1544 passed the House and Senate on April 26 and is now on
its way to the desk of Gov. Mike Pence. The legislation creates an
Indiana Motorsports Investment District that will capture growth in
sales and income taxes at the commercial property that includes IMS for
future investment in the Speedway. In addition, the Indiana Economic
Development Corp. (IEDC) will oversee a fund for motorsports businesses
statewide to apply for loans to assist with economic development
projects and facility improvements.
"We appreciate the hard work done by state lawmakers to ensure Indiana
remains the worldwide leader in motorsports," said Jeff Belskus,
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. president and CEO. "This legislation
will allow us to make transformative improvements to our 104-year-old
facility over the next several years that will greatly enhance the fan
Per the legislation, IMS will receive a loan from the state for up to $5
million per year for 20 years, to complete capital improvement
projects. The loan will be repaid through the anticipated increases in
income and sales tax collections at IMS and will be guaranteed by IMS'
parent company, Hulman & Co. In addition, IMS will contribute $2
million per year, $40 million total, over 20 years toward the
The legislation also creates an Indiana motorsports fund where the state
will provide up to an additional $5 million per year to the IEDC for
loans to motorsports businesses and tracks interested in making
improvements to their facilities.
"The impact of motorsports in Indiana is felt in all 92 counties, and
this industry provides 23,000 direct jobs statewide that pay an average
wage of nearly $63,000 per year," said Tom Weisenbach, Indiana
Motorsports Association executive director. "Our state lawmakers
understand the significant economic impact of our industry, and we
greatly appreciate their support as we look to grow our state's
Projects that could be implemented by IMS as a result of this
legislation will be determined in part through a master facility use
plan process that is underway at IMS.

Thanks to scientific and technical advances over the last hundred years, most people today are materially wealthier than their forefathers. Yet, by their own accounts, the improvement in the quality of their lives has not matched their material gains.
In fact, it may be argued that people once were happier and more fulfilled. For some, material affluence breeds anxiety, a gnawing fear that if someone doesn't take away their hard-earned acquisitions, the end of their days will prematurely arrive to finish the job. Others find death easier to face than a lifetime of assembly-line slavery, while most, in a less dramatic fashion, simply buckle down to lives of quiet desperation.
In this new millennium, most individuals have no real grasp of the factors that govern their existence. And yet, simply stated, if they had a greater understanding of themselves and their fellows, they would be able to improve conditions and help themselves and others to live happier lives.
This, then, is the purpose of Scientology: to enable Man to improve his lot through understanding.

These days, the Super Bowl is less about pigskin than it is about greenbacks. Television networks cough up billions of dollars to air it, then charge companies marketing beer, babes and tax-preparation software $4 million for just 30 seconds of screen time during it. NFL coaches can score bonuses worth as much as half a million for winning it, and athletes earn an extra $44,000 just for playing in it.
But there's one entity in this vast entertainment extravaganza that won't be making a dime from the NFL on Super Bowl Sunday: Beyoncé, the halftime performer.
From the time of the Super Bowl I halftime show, when the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan marching bands performed, the NFL has not paid performers an appearance fee. This tradition has been maintained even though the marching-band shows of the 1960s and '70s have since been replaced by world-famous acts like the Rolling Stones, the Who and now Beyoncé.
Why would artists donate time and energy to help a television network keep the football audience in front of their TVs for several extra rounds of high-priced commercials? According to Who front man Roger Daltrey, the Super Bowl is an opportunity for increased exposure, even for a band that's already sold 100 million records. "You can be touring like we have for 50 years, and there's billions of people who have still never heard of you," Daltrey says. "That's the nature of the media these days."
When the Who performed at Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, they played for an audience of 106 million television viewers in the U.S. in addition to the 74,000 people at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Last year Madonna's halftime show actually garnered more viewers than the game itself, making it the most watched event in television history. From the NFL's perspective, such publicity is payment enough.
"We're putting someone up there for 12 and a half minutes in front of the largest audience that any television program garners in the United States," says Lawrence Randall, director of programming for the NFL. "It's a pretty good deal. It's the famous win-win for both parties."
(MORE: 5 Top Trends for 2013 Super Bowl Commercials)
Indeed, the Who did win on the charts. Digital purchases of the band's music quadrupled the week after its Super Bowl performance, according to Nielsen, and physical albums also saw a large spike in sales. When the Black Eyed Peas performed in 2011, their digital sales jumped from 196,000 tracks pre–Super Bowl to 406,000 the next week. Madonna's catalog performed similarly last year. Predictably, the songs actually sung during halftime received the biggest boost.
In addition to the boost to the bottom line, performing at the Super Bowl acts as a type of affirmation of an artist's pop-culture ubiquity. In recent years, the halftime show has shifted away from gathering an ensemble of current artists and instead centers on one blockbuster act. "Your grandma watches it, your parents watch it, your cousins, no matter what age they are," Randall says. "We're looking to entertain the largest group of people we possibly can."
Though the artist isn't getting paid, the halftime show is still an expensive affair. The NFL pays for the staging and production of the event, which a league official confirmed cost millions of dollars. PepsiCo is serving as the halftime show's sponsor this year, organizing a crowdsourced halftime-show introduction that has received more than 100,000 fan submissions. Though Pepsi declined to disclose the terms of its deal with the NFL, the league's previous halftime sponsorship deal with Bridgestone Tires was worth an estimated $10 million over three years.
While the artists get boosted exposure and record sales, the NFL — and more critically, advertisers — gets an assurance that fans won't change the channel while players hit the locker room. Back in 1992, while the halftime show on CBS honored the Winter Olympics, Fox aired a special live episode of their hit sketch comedy show In Living Color during the time slot. The episode pulled in 22 million viewers and sent Super Bowl viewership tumbling 22%. The next year, the NFL booked Michael Jackson for halftime — yes, for free — and the event has been a spectacle ever since.
(MORE: What If There Was No Super Bowl?)
Months of planning lead up to the 12 minutes of entertainment that are now a tentpole of American pop culture. Approximately 500 volunteers, typically residents of the game's host city, are responsible for building and then breaking down the stage in a matter of minutes. "It's quite a difficult spot to do," Daltrey says. "People really, really sweat to get that thing right, and not just the artist. There's hundreds of people behind them. It's like an army on the move."
Daltrey says the Who, who did a medley of hits like "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again," recorded a version of their performance prior to the game but also played the songs live on the field. The telecast alternated between the two versions. "You want to do as good as you can, but you're never in charge of those events," he says. "Sometimes they don't use what you're singing. They have to do this process to cover themselves because if they get a technical glitch, you're going to have 12 minutes of someone you're not going to hear at all." An NFL official declined to clarify whether use of a backing track is typical for Super Bowl performances.
The show, which had cycled through a number of older acts following Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004, has been inching toward contemporary acts in recent years, with artists like the Black Eyed Peas, M.I.A. and Usher taking the stage. Such artists may stand to gain even more financially from a Super Bowl gig as digital sales come to dominate the music market. The boost in digital sales has consistently increased over the past three years, likely because viewers can act on an impulse to buy an artist's music without even leaving the couch. "While the game is playing or after the game is done, you see those boosts start to pick up," says Dave Bakula, senior vice president for client insights at Nielsen. "This is instantaneous."
(MORE: Super Bowl XLVII: 9 Wacky Ways of Predicting the Winner)
The halftime show has essentially become "a five-song commercial," Bakula says. Like the commercials, Beyoncé's performance will likely be heavily dissected in the coming week, and she'll be compared with previous acts like Madonna and the Who.
However it turns out, Daltrey says the spectacle itself is worthy of admiration. "It's a challenge for everybody. We take it so for granted," he says. "Every artist on that stage has got an enormous pair of balls just to do it in the first place."

By Melissa Quinn
More than 200 residents and onlookers packed the auditorium at George Washington Middle School on Tuesday to hear 12 city council candidates debate a wide range of topics, including taxes, GenOn and transportation infrastructure.
Why haven't Alexandria and Arlington worked together for one system of rapid transit down the Route 1 corridor? How can it happen if Arlington intends to build a [streetcar] line, while Alexandria has decided to use bus rapid transit? Why don't we have a more regional view toward transit options?
Bob Wood (R): It's an absence of leadership, it's an absence of vision and frankly it's the inability to communicate our priorities and our needs across the region in a way that's integrated and incorporated with an overall development plan. I think we're acting too … independently and thinking too narrowly, and quite frankly, I think it's a pattern we've seen from the past city [councilors] who claim to be transportation specialists.
What do you intend to do in practical terms to increase open space in the city?
Justin Wilson (D): We need to expand the number of open space opportunities we have in the city, and the key factor in doing that is through our redevelopment activity. The fact is [with the] Beauregard plan we have 40-plus acres of new open space, one of the largest … developments and contributions to new open space in the city's history. We're going to have the waterfront plan, [with] five-and-a-half acres of new open space coming out of that. We have the Braddock Road plan — new open space. Redevelopment absolutely gives us that opportunity to create new open space without having to spend city tax dollars. The city, in the past, had the open space fund and that was a great way to provide seed money from the city for open space, but we need to think [bigger].
With our rising student population, our aging city infrastructure and a weak economy, the city's squeezed. What are your priorities, and how will you pay for it?
Jermaine Mincey (L): In terms of our infrastructure, it's important to notice that our schools and our city buildings are continuing to age. And the question you have to ask is how is that going to affect spending? Who's going to pay for them? I believe [it is] important for [city councilors] to not make the decisions on the podium but to come out to the people and have a frank and honest discussion on what things we will pay for, how much we're willing to pay and what we can do to achieve these goals … Only as a community can we come together to fix our problems.
Timothy Lovain (D): I think that the infrastructure investment is critical to Alexandria's future. And first transportation, especially our high- capacity transit … Second, the schools … And third, I think of the sewers. [It's] very unglamorous, but especially trying to [fix] that combined sewer overflow, which is causing pollution in the Potomac River. It's a long-term proposition, but it's something we need to keep working at.
When a development project is challenged in the courts, do you believe that project should be postponed until the courts make a decision?
Robert Kraus (l): We need to re-evaluate the waterfront [plan] now. We need to halt everything and put it on hold. Too much happens in closed meetings, in these secret sessions just like with the BRAC problems [at] Mark Center. If you trust the current city council or the former city council, the five — the BRAC five if you'll call them — then go ahead and vote for them. And they'll have more secret meetings, and they won't listen to you. I want to listen to the voters. I don't want to listen to the developers. The developers don't live here — I live here.
What is your vision for the future of Arlandria?
Frank Fannon (R): Arlandria is a wonderful area … We have The Birchmere there, but we need new commercial developments to help revitalize that area. We can't do it all as a city. We have that lot there at the corner of Mount Vernon Avenue and Glebe Road, we'd love to see that get redeveloped. It's really the gateway to the city … We've also had some serious overcrowding issues in that area and … we need to make sure that our police department and city officials are [enforcing] the rules of the city, and that's what we've done recently and that's something we need to address to make sure we have a safe and not too over-crowded of an area in Arlandria.
Do you think considerations — such as traffic management, environmental impact and emergency services availability-related to [Washington Headquarters Services] were passed over with too little consideration?
Glenda Davis (I): I'm sure that city council had all good intentions and considered the citizens in the area, but sometimes I think maybe council tends to put growth before people … First you have the concerns of the citizens and had [those been taken into account] then I don't think that we would have drafted the Beauregard corridor small area plan because we would have already planned for [those issues] in the beginning … I'm sure that the citizens would have brought that up, and [those issues] could have been avoided or at least planned for in advance.
Our property assessments are going up this year after a couple years of little or no assessment growth because house prices are rising again. Shouldn't the property tax rate be lowered to balance this out?
Alicia Hughes (R): Yes, the tax rate should have gone down in order to keep the flat tax filled. We [have] overtaxed in Alexandria in my three years of being on the city council … Every year we've had a budget surplus in excess of $10 million … and if your surplus is greater than 1 or 2 pennies or the amount by which you increase the tax rate, that means you are overtaxing the public and that is something that we need to stop. We need to control spending in this city. You deserve that from us, and we need to look from within before looking to you for additional dollars.
Allison Silberberg (D): I'm the chair of the city's economic opportunities commission and I've been on the commission, for eight years serving as an advocate for the most vulnerable and one of the things that the city does is it gives $48,000 a year to Meals on Wheels, which serves our seniors. And so when we talk about a $600 million annual budget, one of the things that I always bring to the table is bringing it down to a human level and talking about what are we spending the money on and how do we get an eagle eye look while being very transparent and working with the community and getting the community involved at all levels. But we also have to be very careful and be fiscally responsible to maintain that triple-A bond rating.
Do you think Alexandria has enough open space and outdoor recreational space for its residents?
Del Pepper (D): We did have this question once before but let me just add a little something new if I can: We have every opportunity when there is a new development [project], particularly if it is a large [project] that is coming on down the pipe. We really need to negotiate with our developers to ensure that we get every last blade of grass possible out of them. And as I mentioned, we [got] over 40 acres, new acres, of open space in the Beauregard small area plan and we look forward to having that developed. But Witter Field, just off of Duke Street, [is] going to be coming online very soon and that's going to add to our amount of open space that will be used. And [it] will not just be open space but will be created as something the community can use.
What should the ideal working relationship be between council and the school board if both will have a number of new members. And what should the city be doing to close the achievement gap for our city?
John Taylor Chapman (D): [As] one of the only people on this stage that was part of the school's strategic planning process, it's city council's job to ensure that the schools stay on task and on track with that strategic planning process. It's a great strategic plan but it only works if it's enforced and executed, so that's the job of city council. Next is to increase communications not only between the two bodies but also with different students, the students' parents and the community. Also, looking at our programs, it's necessary that we not only look at pre-K and increase capacity there, but we also need to ensure that our older kids have quality after-school programs and our even older kids have quality connections to getting ready for the work life so they have internships and job shadowing programs.
What is your vision for the GenOn site, and what should be the process to determine its future?
Paul Smedberg (D): I think that, yes, it's great that we're going to open up this process for the GenOn site, but I used to live in that part of the city and I'm very mindful of the fact that we have numerous opportunities beyond GenOn in north Old Town … We have other sites that are underdeveloped or will be redeveloped, and so we have to take a much more comprehensive approach. The GenOn site is obviously very exciting and provides many great opportunities for us, but we have to look at it in the context of the north Old Town region.

(A Christmas Circular Letter)
The city had withdrawn into itself
And left at last the country to the country;
When between whirls of snow not come to lie
And whirls of foliage not yet laid, there drove
A stranger to our yard, who looked the city,
Yet did in country fashion in that there
He sat and waited till he drew us out
A-buttoning coats to ask him who he was.
He proved to be the city come again
To look for something it had left behind
And could not do without and keep its Christmas.
He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees;
My woods—the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
I hadn't thought of them as Christmas Trees.
I doubt if I was tempted for a moment
To sell them off their feet to go in cars
And leave the slope behind the house all bare,
Where the sun shines now no warmer than the moon.
I'd hate to have them know it if I was.
Yet more I'd hate to hold my trees except
As others hold theirs or refuse for them,
Beyond the time of profitable growth,
The trial by market everything must come to.
I dallied so much with the thought of selling.
Then whether from mistaken courtesy
And fear of seeming short of speech, or whether
From hope of hearing good of what was mine, I said,
"There aren't enough to be worth while."
"I could soon tell how many they would cut,
You let me look them over."
"You could look.
But don't expect I'm going to let you have them."
Pasture they spring in, some in clumps too close
That lop each other of boughs, but not a few
Quite solitary and having equal boughs
All round and round. The latter he nodded "Yes" to,
Or paused to say beneath some lovelier one,
With a buyer's moderation, "That would do."
I thought so too, but wasn't there to say so.
We climbed the pasture on the south, crossed over,
And came down on the north. He said, "A thousand."
"A thousand Christmas trees!—at what apiece?"
He felt some need of softening that to me:
"A thousand trees would come to thirty dollars."
Then I was certain I had never meant
To let him have them. Never show surprise!
But thirty dollars seemed so small beside
The extent of pasture I should strip, three cents
(For that was all they figured out apiece),
Three cents so small beside the dollar friends
I should be writing to within the hour
Would pay in cities for good trees like those,
Regular vestry-trees whole Sunday Schools
Could hang enough on to pick off enough.
A thousand Christmas trees I didn't know I had!
Worth three cents more to give away than sell,
As may be shown by a simple calculation.
Too bad I couldn't lay one in a letter.
I can't help wishing I could send you one,
In wishing you herewith a Merry Christmas.

Indictment of Israel*
1Hear the word of the LORD, Israelites,
for the LORD has a dispute
with the inhabitants of the land:a
There is no fidelity, no loyalty,
no knowledge of God in the land.
2Swearing, lying, murder,
stealing and adultery break out;*
bloodshed follows bloodshed.b
3Therefore the land dries up,
and everything that dwells in it languishes:
The beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and even the fish of the sea perish.c
Guilt of Priest and of People
4But let no one accuse, let no one rebuke;
with you is my dispute, priest!*
5You will stumble in the day,
and the prophet will stumble with you at night;
I will make an end of your mother.*
6My people are ruined for lack of knowledge!
Since you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from serving as my priest;
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your children.
7The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against me,
I will change their glory* into shame.d
8They feed on the sin of my people,
and are greedy for their iniquity.*
9Like people, like priest:e
I will punish them for their ways,
and repay them for their deeds.
10They will eat but not be satisfied,f
they will promote prostitution* but not increase,
Because they have abandoned the LORD,
devoting themselves
11to prostitution.
Aged wine and new wine
take away understanding.g
12My people consult their piece of wood,*
and their wand makes pronouncements for them,
For the spirit of prostitution has led them astray;
they prostitute themselves, forsaking their God.
13On the mountaintops they offer sacrifice
and on the hills they burn incense,
Beneath oak and poplar and terebinth,
because of their pleasant shade.*
Therefore your daughters prostitute themselves,
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14I will not punish your daughters for their prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law for their adultery,
Because the men themselves consort with prostitutes,
and with temple women* they offer sacrifice!
Thus a people without understanding comes to ruin.
15Though you prostitute yourself, Israel,
do not let Judah become guilty!
Do not come to Gilgal,*
do not go up to Beth-aven,h
do not swear, "As the Lord lives!"i
16For like a stubborn cow,
Israel is stubborn;
Will the LORD now pasture them,
like lambs in a broad meadow?
17Ephraim* is bound to idols,
let him alone!
18* When their drinking is over,
they give themselves to prostitution;j
they love shame more than their honor.
19A wind* has bound them up in its wings;k
they shall be ashamed because of their altars.l
* [4:1–3] The introduction to the oracles (chaps. 4–11) which begin with "Hear the word of the Lord" (4:1) and end with "oracle of the Lord" (11:11).
* [4:2] Similar to the decalogue (Ex 20:1–17; cf. Jer 7:9).
* [4:4–6] Hosea is particularly severe with the priests in the Northern Kingdom who had led the way in the general apostasy from God's law. The prophets here associated with the priests (v. 5) were doubtless cult prophets; cf. Jer 2:8; 4:9–10; 6:13–14; 23:9–40.
* [4:5] Your mother: the one who gave life to the priest, understood here as an extension of the punishment to his whole family (Am 7:17), or "mother" taken as a metaphor for the community of Israel, of which the priest is a member (Hos 2:4).
* [4:7] Their glory: possibly connoting "their children." See 9:11: Is 22:24. Or "Glory" may refer to the Lord in contrast to Ba'al. The Hebrew word for shame, bosheth, is often substituted for Ba'al in biblical names. See Ishbaal (Heb. Ishbosheth, 2 Sm 2:8, 10, 12, 15) and Meribaal (Heb. Mephibosheth, 2 Sm 9:6, 10–13).
* [4:8] The priest receives part of the sacrifice (Lv 6:19; 7:7).
* [4:10–11] Prostitution: often a synonym for idolatry. The covenant bond was symbolized as the relationship between husband and wife (see chaps. 1–2). Thus, abandoning the Lord for a foreign god was called prostitution or adultery.
* [4:12] Piece of wood: a derogatory term for an idol. Wand: a sacred wooden object, perhaps some kind of staff, used for divination.
* [4:13] The shrines on the "high places" typically had an altar, a grove of trees, and a stone pillar representing a god (Dt 12:2; Jer 2:20).
* [4:14] Temple women: plural of Heb. qedesha; the exact import of the term is disputed. See notes on Gn 38:21 and Dt 23:18–19.
* [4:15] Gilgal: close to Jericho (Jos 4:19–20; 5:2–9). Beth-aven: (lit., "house of iniquity") Hosea's derogatory term for the sanctuary of Bethel (lit., "house of God"), the major shrine of the Northern Kingdom (10:5, 8; cf. Am 5:5). As the Lord lives: a legitimate oath formula (1 Sm 26:10, 16), but unacceptable here because Israel is guilty of religious syncretism and the idolatrous worship of other gods.
* [4:17] Ephraim: the name of one of the sons of Joseph, son of Jacob (Gn 41:52), also used to designate one of the tribes living in the heartland of the Northern Kingdom. Hosea often uses the name Ephraim to refer to the whole Northern Kingdom of Israel. During the latter part of his ministry, after the Assyrians occupied Galilee, Ephraim was all that remained of Israel.
* [4:19] A wind: (Heb. ruah), a metaphor for Israel's addiction to the Baal cult, which is nothing but wind, a "spirit (ruah) of prostitution" (v. 12).
a. [4:1] Is 3:10–15; Mi 6:1–5.

- 3 to 5 Working Days
- Species:
- Human
- Type:
- Sandwich
- Duration:
- 3.5h
- Detection:
- Colormetric
- Sensitivity:
- 0.1ng/mL
- Range:
- 0.16~10ng/mL
Human CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) ELISA Kit | G-EC-03966 | Gentaur Elisa Kits
Target Species: Human
Type: Sandwich
Assay Time: 3.5h
Detection Type: Colormetric
Sensitivity: 0.1ng/mL
Detection Range: 0.16~10ng/mL
UniProt ID: P06731
Target Name: CEA
Target Synonym: CD66E, CD66, CEACAM5, Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule 5
Tested Sample Types: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Test Principle: This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human CEA. Samples (or Standards) are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human CEA and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human CEA, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human CEA. You can calculate the concentration of Human CEA in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Specificity: This kit recognizes Human CEA in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human CEA and analogues was observed.
Application: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Human CEA concentrations in Serum, plasma and other biological fluids.
Research Areas: Cancer, Immunology, Stem cells, Tags and Cell Markers
Storage: An unopened kit can be stored at 2-8℃ for 1 month. If the kit is not supposed to be used within 1 month, store the items separately according to the storage table in the manual once the kit is received.

Baked sweet potato loaded with zesty black beans, melted cheese, salsa with a dollop of cream. What can be better than a 20 minute meal!
Today's recipe is a guest post from The Picky Eater[1]. I met Anjali in San Francisco last year; she's a sweet blogger who I instantly connected with, she is also a vegetarian and shared this delicious (yes, I tested this myself and loved it!) recipe with us, perfect for meatless Monday!
Hi Everyone! My name is Anjali Shah and I blog over at The Picky Eater[2], where I write about healthy recipes and easy-to-make family meals. I test all of my recipes on my "fast food loving husband," who, prior to meeting me, ate a diet of frozen pizzas and Taco Bell, so any recipe that makes it on to my blog is "husband approved"!
I'm so excited to be a guest blogger today on Gina's site! Ever since I met her at the Foodbuzz Conference last year and saw the amazing photographs and wonderful recipes on her blog, I've been a fan – and I'm so honored to be a part of this blog and meet all of you.
One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is to makeover comfort foods into healthy versions that taste amazing, are full of flavor and feel just like the original.
Today I'd like to share one of my favorite recipes – my Loaded Baked Potato Makeover. My healthy swaps include: sweet potatoes instead of russet, "loaded" toppings like black beans and veggies sautéed with spices, and a dollop of cream (which is my favorite swap – 0% Greek Yogurt for sour cream!) The husband usually can't tell the difference, especially when I spice up the yogurt with some taco seasoning.
This meal is delicious and takes only 20 minutes to make, which is why I love making it after a long day at work – I know I'll have something yummy in my stomach in the same amount of time it would take to pick up takeout. The husband loved it too, and it has since become a staple weeknight meal in our house. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Loaded Baked Sweet Potato "Healthified"
Servings: 4 • Size: 1 potato • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 8 pt
Calories: 307 • Fat: 5 g • Carb: 53 g • Fiber: 10.5 g • Protein: 15 g • Sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 312 mg (without salt)
- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)
- 1 tsp taco seasoning
- 1 tsp olive or canola oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- a pinch of salt
- 1-1/3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup mild or spicy salsa
- 1/2 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions or cilantro
Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave's potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes).
Combine yogurt and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.
Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt; cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).
Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or as I did in the photo, use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato. Top with 2 tbsp shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt mixture and 2 tbsp salsa of salsa. Enjoy!

Because of the nature of selling vintage online, we spend hours photographing the pieces to accurately represent the way they are in real life. We also provide detailed measurements for our customers to check, measure and compare with their own garments to find the right fit.
