Litigation Release No. 21972 / May 18, 2011
SEC v. Mary Beth Knight and Rebecca Norton, Civ. 2:11-cv-00973-DGC (D. Ariz.)
SEC Charges Former SVP of Choice Hotels International, Inc. and Arizona Realtor with Insider Trading
On May 17, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive action in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona alleging that a former senior vice president of Choice Hotels International, Inc. ("Choice Hotels") and an Arizona real estate professional engaged in insider tipping and trading ahead of negative news about the company's earnings. The defendants are residents of Maricopa County, Arizona.
The Commission's complaint alleges that defendant Mary Beth Knight, age 50, while a senior vice president at Choice Hotels, attended a June 2006 meeting of executives at which disappointing projections of the company's second quarter 2006 earnings results were discussed. In breach of her duty to the company and its shareholders, Knight sold 12,000 shares of Choice Hotels stock, avoiding losses of more than $140,000 that she would have suffered if she had sold the stock at its closing price on July 26, 2006, the first day of trading after the company announced the bad earnings news. The stock price dropped nearly twenty-five percent that day. The complaint also alleges that shortly after attending the June 2006 meeting Knight tipped defendant Rebecca Norton, age 52, who then sold more than 3000 shares of Choice Hotels stock over four days, and later sold short an additional 500 shares for total profits and losses avoided of more than $44,000. Shortly after her stock sales, Knight paid Choice Hotels an amount representing her losses avoided.
The complaint alleges that Knight and Norton violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions; disgorgement from Knight of her losses avoided, with prejudgment interest thereon; disgorgement from Knight and Norton, jointly and severally, of Norton's losses avoided and illegal profits, with prejudgment interest thereon; and imposition of civil money penalties pursuant to Section 21A of the Exchange Act.
Knight has consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, to the entry of a proposed final judgment: (1) permanently enjoining her from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5; (2) ordering her to disgorge her losses avoided of $140,400, but deeming her disgorgement satisfied by her payment to Choice Hotels; (3) ordering her to disgorge Norton's losses avoided and profits of $44,711; and (4) imposing a civil penalty of $185,111.
Norton has consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, to the entry of a proposed final judgment permanently enjoining her from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5 and providing that, upon motion of the Commission, the court will determine whether a civil penalty is appropriate and the amount of any such penalty. The proposed final judgments are subject to the approval of the district court.

I need some help with writing a critical review
A critical review is a type of essay which has the purpose of evaluating all, or part of, a research article, an artwork or some other type of work. It requires you to:
- accurately summarise all or part of the work.
- have an opinion about it. Appropriate types of opinion could include pointing out some problems with the work, proposing an alternative approach which would be better, and/or defending the work against the critiques of others.
- provide evidence for your point of view. Depending on the specific assignment and the discipline, different types of evidence may be appropriate, such as logical reasoning, reference to authoritative sources and/or research data.
To write a critical review you need the same skills and knowledge as for persuasive essay writing, plus you need critical thinking & writing skills. In brief, you need to:
- 1) identify some important choices made in the work (e.g. the main interpretations, the assumptions, the methodology)
- 2) think of some alternatives to those choices (e.g. a different interpretation, different methodology)
- 3) take a position on the alternatives (i.e. which is better and why), and
- 4) provide appropriate evidence for your position.

Patrick Paramore (Mr. 500)PDGA #38001 Socal #721 Advanced/ Intermediate
Began Playing Disc Golf: A friend from work invited me out to Morley Field in August 2007 to meet for our fantasy football draft. He introduced me to disc golf that day and I haven't stopped the fever since. In 2009 I started my PDGA tour and played in 16 PDGA sanctioned events, competing in INT, ADV, and PRO. I ended up finishing first in San Diego Aces Intermediate Points, fifth in Intermediate Socal Points, and earned over 1,000+ PDGA points to get an invitation to the 2010 Am Worlds in Ohio. It has been a great first year tour and thank you to all the friends, players, and volunteers throughout Socal for making it a possibility.
First Disc: Blue Discraft Elite X Stratus (Snapper picked it out for me at the Pro Shop)
Favorite Morley Field Hole: Hole 4, lefty hole. Just like to see my drive fly over the tree-line into hole 5 fairway for fun. It's the picture on the front banner for Morley website.
Morley Field Aces: 4 Aces.
1C skip-blind ace, couldn't find my disc until I saw it sitting in the basket.
4A, of all the lefty positions, I aced the righty position, throwing a sidearm Star Destroyer. Funny story is that I lost the disc in the lake at Bayside, ended up snorkeling around and found the disc, then went to Morley the same day and aced it.
1D, Teerex (my go to disc).
1D, skip in.
Personal Favorite Disc: White Star Boss 174gm, you can do everything with it, the perfect sidearm disc.
Favorite Driver: See above
Favorite Midrange: DGA Aftershock. Controllable, great glide, threw off Shark Tooth Mountain and it went 800+ft perfectly straight.
Favorite Putter: Orange Omega Super Soft, 167gm. I call it 1K (if you know me, you know why).
Tourney wins or Top 5 finishes (not necessarily from Morley): Co-Winner 2009 Sun Valley Open Final 5 Double Skins Match (made the $1,000 putt for the win) 1st - Intermediate 2009 Morley Field Spring Fling 2nd - Intermediate 2009 Fling XIII (Chavez Ridge) 4th - Intermediate 2009 13th El Dorado Open 5th - Intermediate 2009 Emerald Isle Open, 2009 Santa Maria Open, 2009 Sun Valley Open
"In My Bag": 174 gm Star Boss 175 gm Champion Boss 175 gm Star Xcalibur (1st Run) 175 gm Champion Groove 175 gm Champion Destroyer 175 gm Star Destroyer (2009 EIEIO Stamp) 172 gm Star Destroyer 175 gm Star TeeRex 172 gm Champion Firebird (Crystal Blue) 172 gm Elite Z Flash (2009 Memorial Stamp) 180 gm Elite Z Drone (2009 Worlds 1st Run) 175 gm DGA Shockwave (Morley Field Stamp) 175 gm DGA Aftershock (Chavez Ridge Stamp) 175 gm Champion Coyote 175 gm Omega Super Soft 167 gm Omega Super Soft 1K Out of My Bag – a whole lot of monthly/tourney discs (60+)
Favorite Website: SanDiegoAces, PDGA, MorleyField, DiscGolfers R US
Favorite Pro Players: Bobby Musick, cool, calm, collective, down to earth, great knowledge of the game.
Paul McBeth, amazing skill, fun to watch, great talent, so much potential.
Tips For Other Players: As the great ones say (Tiger, Jordan, Ali) confidence is the key to success. Build your confidence and reinforce it by repetitive motion.
Putting – develop a style that you are comfortable with and then practice on a regular basis. Putt at least 15-20 minutes before a round and work on your in-the-circle putts only. Once you are making more than 90% of these putts with 100% confidence, then step back a few feet. Treat every single putt like it is the last putt of your life to save the world (that might be a little extreme).
Driving – first learn what the disc you are throwing is supposed to do. Go out to a field and throw all your discs straight, then hyzer, then anhyzer, over and over. Learn how the disc responds in different winds, such as headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds. Then once you feel comfortable with the disc characteristics, practice your control and accuracy by throwing at a 250-300ft distance. As you develop solid form, you can move the distance back.
This is not a power game, but a finesse game. The perfect form and a smooth balanced transition of your body from beginning to end will out throw and maintain control over the big arms any day, just watch Ken Jarvis. Most of all, stay positive, always concentrate on the next shot, and keep it in 5th gear from start to finish (thanx Beanieman).
And one last thing, this is a grassroots sport made up of thousands of disc golf volunteers to make this sport happen. Do your part and find some way that you contribute to help build this sport and make it become a huge success for the future of disc golf.

Overhaul of NSA Data Collection Takes Shape
Plans From House Committee and Obama Administration Call for Searching Data at Phone Companies Instead
WASHINGTON—Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee are set to unveil Tuesday a proposal overhauling the National Security Agency's phone-records program by requiring searches to be conducted at phone companies instead of having the NSA compile the records.
The bipartisan proposal is similar to one floated last month by the NSA's departing director. It has been well received by some telecommunications-industry executives, but likely will run into opposition from lawmakers of both parties who are sponsoring a competing proposal....

In recent years, the relations between science and religion have been the object of renewed attention. Developments in physics, biology and the neurosciences have reinvigorated discussions about the nature of life and ultimate reality. At the same time, the growth of anti-evolutionary and intelligent design movements has led many to the view that science and religion are necessarily in conflict. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the relations between science and religion, with contributions from historians, philosophers, scientists and theologians. It explores the impact of religion on the origins and development of science, religious reactions to Darwinism, and the link between science and secularization. It also offers in-depth discussions of contemporary issues, with perspectives from cosmology, evolutionary biology, psychology, and bioethics. The volume is rounded out with philosophical reflections on the connections between atheism and science, the nature of scientific and religious knowledge, and divine action and human freedom.
'A welcome addition to the Cambridge series and a valuable contribution on the growing literature on science and religion.' --Zygon
'Almost all of the contributions are highly informative and intellectually stimulating.' --Metascience
'Peter Harrison is himself a superb scholar, and provides a fine introductory essay after having assembled a lineup of distinguished contributors.'--Christianity Today
'The essays are fascinating, and each chapter invites further exploration…' --Isis
'Peter Harrison has enlisted a first-rate group of scholars to offer a competent introduction to the field in this Cambridge Companion volume…. a rich appetizer to a controversial field, introducing hungry readers to the key players, the central debates and theories, and the historical and conceptual questions surrounding the fascinating encounter between science and religion.' --Themelios
'This volume of essays, written by experts in their fields, should become the gold standard on the subject for its comprehensive and cogent treatment.' --Christopher Benson, First Things.

Lindsey Vonn will miss the rest of the ski season after tearing ligaments in her right knee and breaking a bone in her leg in a high-speed crash Tuesday at the world championships.
Vonn lost balance on her right leg while landing a jump in the super-G, flipped over in the air and landed on her back as she smashed through a gate before coming to a halt. Although she will miss the rest of this season, the U.S. ski team said the 28-year-old Vonn is expected to return in time for the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
The four-time overall World Cup winner and 2010 Olympic downhill champion received medical treatment on the slope for 12 minutes before being taken by helicopter to a hospital in Schladming.
"Vonn suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and MCL (medial collateral ligament) in her right knee and a lateral tibial plateau fracture," U.S. Ski Team medical director Kyle Wilkens said in a statement.
Christian Kaulfersch, the assistant medical director at the worlds, said Vonn left the Schladming hospital on Tuesday afternoon and will undergo surgery in another hospital.
"She first wanted to go back to the team hotel to mentally deal with all what has happened," Kaulfersch said.
Team physician William Sterett, who was with Vonn, declined to offer any more information when contacted by The Associated Press.
The crash in the opening event of the championships came almost exactly a year before the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
"She will be out for the remainder of this season but is expected to return to racing for the 2013-14 ... World Cup season and the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi," the team said.
Vonn returned to the circuit last month after taking an almost month-long break from racing to fully recover from an intestinal illness that put her in a hospital for two days in November.
The start of Tuesday's race was delayed by 3½ hours due to fog hanging over the course and it started in waning light at 2:30 p.m. Even before Vonn's crash, a course worker fell and also had to be airlifted. He was reported to have only broken his nose.
All the delays made for flat light when Vonn raced.
"Lindsey did a great job on top and Lindsey has won a lot of races in flat light so the flat light was definitely not a problem," U.S. Alpine director Patrick Riml told the AP.
"We are upset obviously with what happened but if you don't know the facts and why they decided to start and what the weather forecast was it's hard to say without any reasoning," Riml said. "And they probably had a reason, otherwise they wouldn't have started."
It was difficult to analyze when exactly Vonn lost control as she came off a left turn into the jump.
"She jumped a little bit in the wrong direction and started to correct that a little bit in the air and put a lot of pressure on the outside ski exactly in the landing and she couldn't hold the pressure and then (she crashed)," International Ski Federation women's race director Atle Skaardal said.
Skaardal defended the decision to race.
"I can confirm that the visibility was great, there were no problems, and the course was also in good shape," he said. "I don't see that any outside factors played a role in this accident. ... The other factors were like they were supposed to be for ski racing."
It's the sixth straight major championship in which Vonn has been hit with injury.
Two years ago, she pulled out midway through the last worlds in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, because of a mild concussion. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Vonn skied despite a severely bruised shin to win the downhill and take bronze in the super-G.
At the 2009 worlds in Val d'Isere, France, she sliced her thumb open on a champagne bottle after sweeping gold in the downhill and super-G, forcing her out of the giant slalom. At the 2007 worlds in Are, Sweden, Vonn injured her knee in training and missed her final two events.
And at the 2006 Turin Olympics, she had a horrific crash in downhill training and went directly from her hospital room to the mountain to compete in four of her five events.
Having regained her form in recent weeks, Vonn trailed eventual race winner Tina Maze of Slovenia by just 0.12 seconds at an intermediate interval shortly before Tuesday's crash.
The conditions varied from racer to racer.
Former overall winner Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany started immediately after Vonn and skied off course.
"It's not a very difficult course but in some parts you couldn't see anything," said Fabienne Suter of Switzerland, who finished fifth.
However, Vonn teammate Julia Mancuso thrived in the difficult conditions and won the bronze medal.
"It's the same for everybody," U.S. speed coach Chip White said. "Everyone had to wait for a long time and that's always difficult. And the holds were every 15 minutes so it really doesn't give you a chance to go and do something else. You're always kind of on edge at the ready. It's a difficult situation but everybody had the same difficult situation."

Source: Haith front-runner for Tulsa job
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Missouri coach Frank Haith is in position to replace Danny Manning at Tulsa.
A person with knowledge of the situation at Tulsa says Haith is the front-runner for the job, and he traveled to the school on Thursday afternoon to discuss a possible deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because nothing had been finalized.
Haith coached at Miami (Fla.) before taking over at Missouri. He led Missouri to a 30-5 record in 2011-12 and was The Associated Press Coach of the Year. The Tigers went 23-12 this season.
Manning left Tulsa after two seasons to take over at Wake Forest. He coached the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA tournament this season.
Haith would be leaving an uncertain situation. Missouri's top scorer last season, Jabari Brown, was a senior. Brown, who had transferred to Missouri from Auburn, led the Southeastern Conference with 19.9 points per game last season. Missouri went 7-8 after the start of February, missed the NCAA tournament for the first time in six years and lost to Southern Mississippi in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament.
While Missouri plays in the high-profile Southeastern Conference, Tulsa might be a more stable situation for Haith.
The Golden Hurricane went 17-16 and played in the CBI tournament two years ago. This past season, Tulsa improved to 21-13, won the Conference USA tournament and reached the NCAA tournament with a young team. Sophomore guard James Woodard was a second-team all-conference pick, and forwards Rashad Smith, Lew Evans and D'Andre Wright and guards Shaquille Harrison and Rashad Ray were sophomores who played significant roles.
The Golden Hurricane will be moving to the American Athletic Conference next season, which includes national champion Connecticut.

The Caixin China Services PMI is based on data compiled from monthly replies to questionnaires sent to purchasing executives in over 400 private service sector companies. The panel has been carefully selected to accurately replicate the true structure of the services economy.
The Caixin China Composite PMI is a weighted average of the Manufacturing Output Index and the Services Business Activity Index, and is based on original survey data collected from a representative panel of over 800 companies based in the Chinese manufacturing and service sectors.
The PMIs have developed an outstanding reputation for providing the most up-to-date possible indication of what is really happening in the private sector economy by tracking variables such as sales, employment, inventories and prices. The indexes are widely used by businesses, governments and economic analysts in financial institutions to help better understand business conditions and guide corporate and investment strategy. In particular, central banks in many countries use the data to help make interest rate decisions. PMI surveys are the first indicators of economic conditions published each month and are therefore available well ahead of comparable data produced by government bodies.

3 Tips for Posting Emergency Information Online
Google's Crisis Response product manager provides insight into the best ways to share emergency information online and how search engines can utilize it. During Hurricane Sandy's landfall in the U.S. and the time immediately after it, about 15 million search queries were made through Google about the storm. In contrast, the Hurricane Sandy pages on FEMA.gov were viewed fewer than 1 million times — a DHS report put the total page views at about 740,000. While important and even life-saving information is housed on government websites, the way it's posted can impact how quickly and easily platforms like Google can locate and highlight the data. Technology leaders told members of Congress in June that posting emergency-related information online in open, machine-readable formats is necessary for allowing it to be quickly disseminated to the public. But what does that really mean for emergency managers?

Xiaolongbao, those glorious steamed dumplings with a meat and soup filling, have migrated far beyond Shanghai and gained a cult following. Meanwhile, another obsession-worthy Shanghainese specialty has remained a local secret.
Shengjian bao, they call it here. Think of it as a fried version of xiaolongbao. Well, a bun, really. A soup bun that is pan-fried until the bottoms are just crisp and the sesame seeds and chives on top meld into the crunchy casing.
When I come to Shanghai I get my shengjian bao from two places. One is in the French Concession, a 3-minute walk from where i usually stay. The baozi aren't spectacular, but they're great for a cheap lunch or hunger fix. The other is the venerable and endearingly misspelled Yang's Fry-Dumpling, just north of People's Square and right across the street from another cheap-eats institution. If you eat shengjian bao only once in Shanghai (or twice, or thrice), do so at Yang's.
Chowing down on shengjian bao is trickier than on xiaolongbao. First,the thick crunchy casing is such a good insulator that the soup is still piping hot 10 minutes after you sit down. Burnt tongues are common, but worth dealing with.
Second, each bao is about the size of a small plum, making it impossible to eat in a single bite. This means squirtage is inevitable, at least for a non-local. With practice, or luck, the soup will squirt into the boundaries of your plate instead of at the person across from you. (The woman with the baby will appreciate this.) Again, just concentrate; these are easy hurdles. Because the mouthfuls of crunchy bun and soupy pork goodness to come will be very, very satisfying.
Did I mention a plate of four shengjian bao costs about 60 US cents?

The popularity of outsourcing is somewhat enigmatic. Why would companies entrust activities that are its lifeblood — information technology, human resources, and marketing and sales — to a third party? Yet according to "The 1999 Outsourcing Trends Report," they do, outsourcing roughly one-third of those activities and roughly one-fifth of their financial affairs.1 The outsourcing business is booming. The report says nearly all companies spent more on outsourcing in 1999 than in 1998 and anticipate continued increases.
The report shows IT outsourcing leading the increase, with companies giving 38% of their IT functions to vendors. One reason is reduced cost. IT is one of the most expensive parts of the organization to establish and maintain. But a vendor with many clients can operate at a scale a single enterprise cannot. Large vendors can use more powerful equipment, for example, than can individual clients. Moreover, their size helps them negotiate with hardware and software providers.
Another reason companies outsource IT is improved performance. The expertise of an in-house IT department often lags behind today's technology. A vendor's sole job is to follow the trends and provide leading-edge software and systems. Vendors have more expertise than their individual clients because they face more-varied issues. They also can have employees specialize in areas clients typically encounter only once, such as converting to a client-server architecture. (See "An IT-Outsourcing Survey.")
Although the benefits of IT outsourcing are clear, they often get eaten away by costs that managers can't pinpoint. In a survey of 50 companies, about 14% of out-sourcing operations were deemed failures. Companies say they entered an out-sourcing agreement believing that they understood all major costs.

NCLB Update
This week, Secretary Spellings was in Arizona (April 2-3) and Minnesota (April 5) to engage business and community leaders and promote reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act. In Arizona, she toured Mesa Arts Academy, a charter school operated by the Boys and Girls Club of the East Valley, where students have made tremendous progress on the state assessment while infusing dance, music, painting, and other arts into the curriculum. She also met with members of the Arizona Business Education Coalition, representing technology and telecommunications companies (see http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/04/04022007.html). In Minnesota, she delivered remarks to the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce and toured Grainwood Elementary School (Prior Lake) (see http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/04/04052007.html). Looking for more details? Check out the Secretary's brand new travel log at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/notesfromtheroad/.
In response to persistent misconceptions about No Child Left Behind, there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of letters to the editor submitted by Department officials and published in major papers across the U.S. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/opeds/edit/.
No Child Left Behind is the latest version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. In honor of President Johnson's commitment to learning, President Bush recently signed a bill designating the U.S. Department of Education's main headquarters in Washington, D.C., as the Lyndon Baines Johnson Department of Education building. Before entering politics, Johnson was a teacher. During his presidency, he signed more than 60 education bills, including the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (establishing Head Start), ESEA, and the Higher Education Act of 1965. For more information, please go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/03/20070323-6.html.
Special Ed Flexibility
On April 4, Secretary Spellings announced new regulations under the No Child Left Behind Act allowing states to assess certain students with disabilities using an alternate assessment. Specifically, states may develop modified academic achievement standards based on grade-level contentand alternate assessments based on those standardsfor students with disabilities who are capable of achieving high standards but who may not reach grade level in the same time as their peers. States may count proficient and advanced test scores on these alternate assessments for up to 2% of all students assessed when calculating Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the law. These regulations build on flexibility already provided for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, where states may count up to 1% of proficient and advanced assessment scores based on alternate achievement standards toward the AYP calculation.
At the same time, the Secretary released guidance on the implementation of the new regulations, offering recommendations on such issues as how students with disabilities can be appropriately identified for this assessment. She also announced $21.1 million in grants to help states develop new assessments for these students and a Special Education Partnership for technical assistance (a July 2007 meeting with interested states, monthly teleconferences, etc.). For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/04/04042007.html.
Plus, the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has released a new issue brief on the timing of entry into special education and the primary grades in which students receive special services. About 12% of students receive special education in at least one grade: kindergarten, first-grade, and third-grade, including 16% of boys, 8% of girls, 18% of poor students, and 10% of non-poor students. Half of those who begin special education in kindergarten are no longer receiving special education by third-grade.

School Choice
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (April 17, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) will highlight the growing range of options available to parents who want a quality education for their children. Today, parents have many choices. They can choose from neighborhood schools, charter schools, and other public schools of choice. Increasingly, they can also transfer their children to another school in or out of district. In addition, they can select private schools (religious or secular) or teach their children at home. And, free tutoring programs are now available to students in certain low-performing schools. No Child Left Behind, creative state legislation, and the expansion of privately funded scholarship programs for low-income children have each significantly expanded choice. Nevertheless, the demand for choice continues to outstrip supply. Thus, in his 2008 budget proposal, President Bush has allocated $500 million to help states turn around the performance of chronically under-performing schools and $300 million to provide new options, including public and private school choice in the form of Promise and Opportunity scholarships. The broadcast will discuss these proposals, as well as effective charter and choice programs raising student achievement. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/edtv/. (You can watch live and archived webcasts at http://www.connectlive.com/events/ednews/.)
Charter Showcase
Speaking of choice, during the last couple of days (April 5-6) state policymakers and researchers have been gathering at the Fairmont Washington Hotel to hear about the Department's initiatives, resources, and technical assistance to support charter schools. The National Charter Schools Program Showcase featured a variety of practical breakout sessions and spotlighted eight charter high schools (see http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/choice/charterhs/). The number of charter schools has jumped from 2,000 in 2001 to nearly 4,000 today. For more information, please go to http://www.sei2003.com/OII/CSPShowcase/.
Grants Forecast
Be sure to review the FY 2007 Grants Forecast (as of March 26) at http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/find/edlite-forecast.html, which lists virtually all programs and competitions under which the Department has invited or expects to invite applications for awards and provides actual or estimated dates for the transmittal of applications under these programs. The lists are in the form of chartsorganized by principal program officeand will be updated regularly through July. (Note: This document is advisory only and not an official application notice of the U.S. Department of Education.)
Meanwhile, the Department has reopened the Advanced Placement (AP) Test Fee Program competition, which awards grants to states to enable them to pay AP fees for low-income students. Applications are due April 18. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/apfee/.
Adult Literacy Assessment
NCES' "Literacy in Everyday Life" presents data from the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy, the first assessment of the English literacy of adults (16 and up) in the U.S. since 1992. Three types of literacy were measured: prose (news stories and instructional materials), document (job applications and food and drug labels), and quantitative (balancing a checkbook and figuring out a tip). Between 1992 and 2003, there were no statistically significant changes in average prose and document literacy. However, average quantitative literacy increased. And, in a reversal from 1992, women had higher average prose and document literacy than their male peers in 2003. While men still recorded higher average quantitative literacy than women, that gap narrowed. Why does this matter? There is a clear, direct relationship between literacy and a number of future economic indicators, such as employment status, occupation, salary, and participation in public assistance programs. For example, a higher percentage of adults with high levels of literacy lived in households with incomes above $100,000. Moreover, parents at various literacy levels interact differently with children at home. For example, a higher percentage of adults with high prose literacy read to their children five or more times a week.

Quote to Note
"Now that we have this wealth of information [from No Child Left Behind], the next step is to use it to customize education. We've built an appetite for change and improvement, and we've done a good job of framing the problem. We know where we're falling short, where students' needs aren't being met, and where more rigor is needed. With the help of technology, we must now begin to answer those needs...."

A two-year study into climate and vineyards which kicks off this summer is expected to help boost the New Zealand wine industry's income by 10 per cent.
The University of Canterbury is leading a $500,000 international research project aimed at helping wine growers more accurately predict future climate conditions and improve production.
Starting in Marlborough this summer, researchers will use computer modelling and mapping systems to investigate localised variations in vineyard weather, said professor Andy Sturman.
"The New Zealand wine industry will be early adopters of this technology, while other horticultural and agricultural industries worldwide will also benefit," Sturman said.
An international research team would be made up of several French wine research experts, and others from Plant and Food and NIWA.
Together, the team would help improve knowledge about how climate variability impacted on wine production in New Zealand, Sturman said.
"The application of the new modelling tools is expected to result in an estimated 5 to 10 per cent increase in New Zealand wine export earnings of at least $2 billion by 2020."
According to NZ Wine, exports were worth a record value $1.18 billion in the year to June 2012, up 8 per cent on the previous year.
New Zealand Wine's figures started in 2003, when the value of wine exports was at a relatively small $281 million.
Although we account for less than 1 per cent of global wine production, New Zealand is now the world's 10th largest exporter by value and 11th exporter by volume.
Sturman said the wine industry was "highly sensitive" to variations in weather and climate which could significantly affect export quality, volumes and income.
The study would allow the growers to prepare for and reduce the risk of events like frosts or high temperatures.
New Zealand Wine research and innovations manager Dr Simon Hooker said improved weather forecasting would only be a good thing for the industry, which was focused on producing high-quality grapes.
"Quality is an absolutely critical component to the wine industry and a lot of the reserach we do is around that.
"We are not really focused on higher volume, low quality wines."
Hooker said being able to predict climate patterns further out would have "huge pluses for the industry".

Law Grads Face Brutal Job Market
Members of the law-school class of 2011 had little better than a 50-50 shot of landing a job as a lawyer within nine months of receiving a degree, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of new data that provides the most detailed picture yet of the grim market for law jobs.
Under pressure from disillusioned graduates and some professors, the American Bar Association for the first time released a tally of the previous year's graduates who have secured full-time, permanent jobs as lawyers. Until recently, the ABA required law schools to report only general data about how their graduates fared, such as how many were employed full-time or part-time in any kind of job, whether or not it required a law degree.
The Job Market for Law Graduates
See the percentages of law graduates employed in various full-time, long-term positions, and those who were unemployed nine months after graduating.
The numbers suggest the job market for law grads is worse than previously thought. Nationwide, only 55% of the class of 2011 had full-time, long-term jobs that required a law degree nine months after graduation. The ABA defines "long-term" jobs as those that don't have a term of less than one year.
Of course, it isn't uncommon for people to attend law school to advance their career without practicing law. Several law-school deans cautioned against placing too much emphasis on jobs requiring a law degree.
Nationally, 8% of 2011 graduates were said to be in full-time, long-term jobs for which a law degree was preferred but not required, according to the Journal's data analysis. Another 4% were employed in full-time, long-term positions for which professional training was required but for which a law degree offered no advantage.
The numbers capture only 2011 graduates and measure their employment status within nine months of graduation. That time frame tends to favor top schools whose students often—in good times and bad—land jobs before graduation, according to several law-school deans.
Some schools said that many of their graduates found work as sole practitioners or at smaller firms, which tend not to hire full-time until graduates pass the bar exam.
It is tough to compare the law-school situation to the job market for other advanced degrees. About 78% of 2011 graduates of M.B.A. programs landed jobs within three months of getting their degrees, according to U.S. News & World Report, although the figures don't show whether the jobs required the degree. That percentage was based on 135 of 441 schools responding to the magazine's survey; business schools aren't required to report placement statistics.
The new details are likely to feed a debate about the value of a law degree. More than 40,000 students enter the law-job market annually. In the past year, law-school graduates have filed more than a dozen lawsuits around the country alleging that some schools misled students with job-placement statistics.
The 2011 data reinforce the notion in the industry that students from the top 14 U.S. law schools have little trouble finding work. The top-ranked schools sent graduates into long-term legal jobs in high numbers, but 87 lower-tier schools had placement rates of 50% or less.
The data cover 198 of 201 ABA-accredited schools. A spokesman said data on two schools in Puerto Rico were pending. A third school, the Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School in Charlottesville, Va., doesn't confer a J.D.
The data analysis showed:
Only about 8% of 2011 graduates landed full-time, long-term jobs at larger firms with more than 250 attorneys.
Just a dozen schools reported that 80% or more of graduates found full-time, long-term legal jobs. The top five included the University of Virginia (95%), Columbia University (94%), Stanford University (91%), New York University (90%) and Harvard University (90%).
More than 20 schools reported that fewer than 40% of their graduates had secured such jobs. The bottom five included Whittier College (17%), University of the District of Columbia (21%), Golden Gate University (22%), Thomas Jefferson School of Law (27%) and Western New England University (30%).
Several deans say the data paint a bleaker picture of their schools than justified. In a sluggish economy, smaller firms are less likely to take a chance on recent grads, says Penelope Bryan, dean of Whittier Law School in Orange County, Calif. Instead, she says, they may hire graduates on a contract or part-time basis before making offers.
Whittier, with annual tuition of about $39,000, reported that 17% of its 2011 graduates were in full-time long-term legal jobs nine months out, among the lowest in the nation. Forty-one percent of the school's graduates were unemployed and seeking jobs, the data show.
Compare that to its class of 2010 figures in U.S. News & World Report's annual law-school rankings, which are widely followed. The school reported to the magazine that 85.5% of its 2010 grads were employed nine months after commencement and 4.3% were unemployed. (This was before schools had to specify whether the jobs required a law degree or were part-time.)
"We consider this a problem," Ms. Bryan says of the school's more recent figures. "We have redesigned completely our career development and we expect to see some improvement, but in the meantime we've had to live with this transition."
Drucilla S. Ramey, dean of Golden Gate University in San Francisco, said many of the school's students "do not characteristically go to work for the larger firms or clerkships which generally select and hire much earlier than other employers."
Thomas Jefferson School of Law, in San Diego, reported that about 27% of its 2011 graduates had full-time, long-term legal jobs nine months after graduation, according to the data. The 2010 data reported in U.S. News showed more than 68% were employed nine months out.
"You can't measure the value of a law degree in terms of what your employment number was nine months after graduation," says Dean Rudy Hasl. A graduate who takes the California bar exam in July, he says, won't get the results until late November. Many employers won't even interview a graduate who hasn't been licensed, Mr. Hasl says, adding that he advises prospective students to consider the law degree a long-term investment. "The law degree is something that allows you to move in so many directions," he says.
Katherine Broderick, dean of the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, says the school caters to students seeking a law degree to get ahead in their careers but who don't intend to practice law, including government workers.
UDC reported that about 21% its 2011 grads had obtained full-time, long-term legal jobs nine months out. Another 15% were said to be in full-time, long-term jobs in which a law degree is preferred but not required.
The dean of Western New England declined to comment.
The data captured a few unranked schools that appeared to vastly outperform their peers in the lower tiers, as well as several ranked schools. St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, for instance, reported that 78% of its graduates held full-time, long-term jobs that require a law license nine months out. Only a dozen schools reported a higher percentage.
Dean Charles Cantú says that is a reflection of the diversity and number of small law practices in and around San Antonio. More than 40% of the school's 2011 graduating class joined firms of 10 attorneys or fewer, according to the data.

La Grange city officials filed a motion Dec. 1 for a judge to reverse his decision in their case against a former mayor.
City officials claim Elsie Carter, whose term ended last December, left office with more than $4,500 in city property.
City Attorney Steve Emery requested default judgement after Carter failed respond within 20 days to a May court order. Carter filed a response several days after the deadline.
But Oldham Circuit Court Special Judge Bailey Taylor denied default judgement and called the May court order ambiguous.
Taylor said the timetable in the May order "yields a nonsensical result at best."
The city did not file an amended complaint, Taylor said, so Carter had no obligation to respond.
"We think he got it wrong," Emery said of Taylor's ruling.
The motion to reconsider includes notes from a hearing with Conrad that laid out the timetable.
If the ruling stands, the case will continue to discovery and trial.
The case began in February, and court documents include a two-page inventory of missing items, including a laptop computer, portable hard drive, three digital cameras, six four-line office telephones, an iced tea maker and multiple software bundles.
Carter offered the city a $335 check for the conference table and a desk, but Emery returned the check and requested Carter return the furniture.
Some items, including the conference table, have been returned.
The city also claims Carter improperly sold a house owned by the city, and requested a judgement declaring the house contract invalid and restoring ownership to the city.
Emery hopes a judge will reconsider the timetable and overturn the ruling.

During the furious first few hours of free agency Tuesday, the team agreed to terms with strong safety Donte Whitner, a Cleveland native who cant wait to play in his hometown.LAWRENCE, Kan. - Tarik Black pulled a Big 12 championship T-shirt over his broad shoulders, slipped a title hat on his head, and then gave Andrew Wiggins and the rest of his teammates a hug. In the background stood the trophies, all 10 of them, brought onto the court at Allen Fieldhouse -- a perfect ending to Blacks nearly perfect senior night. The transfer from Memphis scored 19 points on 9-for-9 shooting, more than making up for the loss of injured centre Joel Embiid, and led the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to an 82-57 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday night. "Wow, did he play good tonight," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Black matched the school record for field goal attempts without a miss held by C.J. Giles (2005) and Mark Randall (1990). The only shots he missed came at the free throw line. Wiggins, the Vaughan, Ont., native also likely playing in his final home game, added nine points for the Jayhawks (23-7, 14-3 Big 12). Naadir Tharpe came off the bench to contribute 16 points and five assists, and Perry Ellis finished with 13 points and five rebounds. Toddrick Gotcher scored 10 points to lead the Red Raiders (13-17, 5-12), who trailed by 20 points at halftime and never threatened down the stretch in losing their sixth straight game. "We didnt do a good job of executing," Gotcher said. The lopsided victory allowed Kansas to celebrate its latest conference title in style. The Jayhawks backed into the outright championship despite a loss last weekend at Oklahoma State, and Self was so disheartened by the performance that he ordered the title T-shirts and hats waiting in the locker room to remain in their boxes. His decision was criticized in some circles, but Self defended it in a news conference Tuesday. They were finally brought out moments after the final buzzer Wednesday, along with a series of tables at midcourt that held up the Jayhawks 10 straight Big 12 title trophies. Self also made sure that senior night at Kansas focused on the seniors, which is why Black started alongside classmates Niko Roberts and Justin Wesley -- two rarely used role players. Still, the packed crowd was keenly aware that it was probably the last time Wiggins would step on the Phogs court, too. The fans roared at every basket made by the star forward, who has already made it clear that he plans to enter the NBA draft this summer.dddddddddddd "Weve been able to recruit some guys that will probably never get to a senior night, and we should be happy to have those guys," Self told the crowd after the game. "So one last time, lets give the entire team a loud ovation and thank them for their efforts." All the positive vibes made it easy to forget that the Jayhawks were playing without Embiid, their talented 7-foot freshman, whom Self decided to sit the rest of the regular season because of a lower back strain. Its the same injury that caused Embiid to miss a game against TCU earlier in the season, though Self is hopeful he will be back for the Big 12 tournament. "Didnt you guys think Joel looked great in his suit tonight?" Self asked the crowd. "But Jo, listen, everybody thinks you look much better in a uniform." Without the big man patrolling the paint, it was up to Black to leave his mark. The graduate transfer dominated the overmatched Red Raiders in the paint, scoring just about all his baskets at the rim. The highlight came in the midst of a 17-4 run to end the first half, when Black caught an alley-oop pass from Tharpe and slammed it home. By the time Conner Frankamp buried a 3-pointer and Frank Mason added a free throw in the final seconds, the lead had swelled to 39-19 and Kansas was well on its way. The second half was merely an excuse for another sellout crowd, this one including 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Packers coach Mike McCarthy, to enjoy a rollicking party. Meanwhile, the loss means that Red Raiders coach Tubby Smith, who spent most of the game sitting glumly on the bench, will have to beat Texas on Saturday and win the Big 12 tournament -- four games in four days -- to avoid his first losing season in 23 years as a head coach. Texas Tech still has never won in 14 tries at Allen Fieldhouse. "Its just not our time right now. I feel like we still have another season coming up with the Big 12 tournament," said the Red Raiders Jaye Crockett, "and hopefully we can make a run during the tournament along with our next game against Texas."

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A judge is northeast Ohio has sentenced a man and woman to life in prison for sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy.
Prosecutors say 33-year-old Jacob Singleton and 30-year-old Cecilia Lower drugged the girl with a stolen antidepressant and photographed the abuse. Prosecutors said photos of the abuse of the boy were shared by the couple on Facebook.
They pleaded guilty to rape and other sex charges earlier this month in Akron. Both will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years.
Court records show the crimes occurred last July.
A prosecutor called the abuse "truly sickening."

As a dynamic young preacher at a large church, J. R. Briggs felt God calling him to start a church plant. Gradually, the church grew, but its growth eventually stalled out. Disappointment led him to found the Epic Fail Pastors Conference—"a gathering for pastors and leaders seeking to understand how God works through failure"—and to write Fail: Finding Hope and Grace in the Midst of Ministry Failure (InterVarsity Press). Briggs spoke with Drew Dyck, managing editor of Leadership Journal, about redefining the notion of ministry success.
What attracted you to a topic that most people would rather avoid?
It started with attending pastors' conferences. They featured well-known pastors of large churches, but average pastors were never invited to share their experiences. These events were all about success and getting results. I was in the middle of a painful season of ministry. I needed something that wouldn't discourage me or add to my spiritual vertigo. I wanted to talk honestly. I needed an AA meeting for pastors, but there was no such thing.
Many pastors, ex-pastors, and Christian leaders were desperate for that type of forum. I wasn't trying to create a conference. I simply longed for a space where no one was scared by the shortcomings of other sinners, even if those sinners were also ministry leaders.
Do our issues with failure come from faulty notions of success?
I don't like using the word success when talking about ministry. I'd much rather use words like health, faithfulness, and obedience. Our culture is obsessed with success, and the church is not immune. Pastors are inundated with temptations to chase the wrong things. We need to take a hard look at how we define ...1

1989 Jeep Cherokee - Cheap Truck Cherokee - Cheap Truck Challenge 2013Posted in Events on August 16, 2013
Building a rig for Cheap Truck Challenge is addictive. You want all the goodies and you keep pushing for more and more, but you still have to limit yourself to what makes the most sense on a vehicle build due to the budget. It's just like how you want that expensive beer with the fancy label, but the case of Bud Light in the back does the same job at half the cost. I'm a cheapskate at heart, but I know a bargain when it bites me, so I started looking for the best deal around: the Jeep XJ Cherokee.
Traction, suspension, and tires would make it a formidable contender
The famed XJ was produced between 1984 and 2001 in a variety of flavors. A zillion of them are still available on the cheap, and they work great off-road. Sure, they are scarce in some areas, as the government's Cash for Clunkers car-killing campaign took a slew of perfectly good vehicles off the market, and of course the rust maggots have claimed their fair share as well. But in my neck of the woods you can still find a 4x4 version with everything you need for under $2,000, and that's in decent shape with relatively low miles. I say "relatively" because an XJ with 250,000 on the ticker can still be stout and reliable, as the 4.0L straight-six engine is good for 350K if taken care of. That's what I started with, and I figured that if I got into the beast at the right price then adding some traction, suspension, and tires would make it a formidable contender for winning Cheap Truck Challenge.

Orange County coast?
At their special court session scheduled Monday, May 6, commissioners approved a resolution appointing County Judge Carl Thibodeaux as the Orange County representative and negotiator with the Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District Inc.
"I received a letter from the attorney for the corporation," Thibodeaux said, "and there is a possibility we may be applying for $4 million in government grants to protect the coast from future hurricanes. Basically, what this resolution is for is to allow myself — I am the Orange County representative on the Board of Directors — to authorize the president of the board to seek this funding and to apply for this spending."
He said he provided a letter to each of the commissioners explaining the necessity of the measure. Thibodeaux said he has already asserted to the board in question that Orange County has contributed funds to the restoration and installation of protective measures on the coast, so he believes no additional funds that could be requested as a match for the grant money should be necessary. However, if requests for matching funds for any future projects were made, the requests would be brought before the commissioners court for approval. Other counties potentially included in the grant request and coastal construction efforts include Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers and Jefferson counties.
According to Pct. 4 Commissioner Jody Crump, without the judge's efforts, Orange County would have been excluded from the levee study leading to the grant that could provide funds in excess of $4 million to the counties applying.
"Probably last year, Judge Thibodeaux got involved with a levee study going on. The levee was actually specific to the coastal counties. They (the federal government) left us out because we are not a 'coastal county.' We are not actually on the coast. We are on Sabine Lake. The judge found out about the meetings, so he actually went to those meetings and found out what was going on and told them, 'I don't think you understand.' He told them that we indeed did sustain millions of dollars worth of damage to homes and places like that. So they included us in that levee study and that levee program. We were fortunate enough to be extended the right to get into the program, and that extended actual grant dollars toward us that they had already approved for the program. Kudos to Judge Thibodeaux for seeing what was going on and getting us involved."
Crump explained that there are two groups fighting over the grant funds. One group wants to build the levees and another wants to restore the coast. The Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District Inc. is meant to unify the efforts of both groups, according to Crump. He said he is in favor of working toward both of the goals, building levees to protect the coast and restoring the coast, and that is why he supports the corporation's intent as he understands it.
In other matters, commissioners tabled two agenda items requesting action on entering into interlocal agreements for the inspection and abatement of public nuisances relating to dilapidated structures in Rose City and Pine Forest. The cities requested the county's involvement because they are not able to afford the expense, according to Environmental Health and Code Compliance Department Director Joel Ardoin. Commissioners tabled the items in a previous meeting because they wanted to be reimbursed by the cities for any expenses incurred.
Commissioner John Banken said he did not understand why the county would enter into the agreements at all or why the cities themselves could not handle the matters on their own since they would have to pay the county for any actions taken in regard to the dilapidated structures. Ardoin said the cities do not have inspectors of their own and because they cannot afford the initial expenses involved in demolition of structures and clearing properties, they could not hire contractors to get rid of unsafe structures. Banken said before he could vote, he would need guarantees from both of the cities that the county would be reimbursed for work on the properties in question. Pct. 1 Commissioner David Dubose voiced his agreement. Feeling the language used in the interlocal agreements did not fully address the repayment issue, the items were tabled by commissioners once again.

Our global approach
Globalization is shaping our world: it's expanding horizons as trade, technology and investment increasingly connect countries and companies around the globe; and it's compressing time and distance as people and products move – and ideas spread – faster than ever before.
At EY, we have long thought that globalization is one of the defining issues of our time. Our response has been to transform our organization so that we keep in step with the changing needs of our clients and our people.
Our clients need integrated, cross-border service and the same high quality wherever they do business around the world. Our people want to build careers in an organization that's global in its outlook and inclusive in its approach.
Our global structure
Our structure is composed of the Executive and Regions. The Executive includes our global leadership, governance bodies and our four geographic Areas. Working together they oversee our global strategy, brand, business planning, investments and priorities. Our four service lines are represented and enabled by the four functions of Markets, Operations, People and Risk.
Our 28 Regions are grouped under four geographic Areas.
- Americas: Our Americas Area comprises 11 Regions and nearly 45,000 people. The workplace culture of the Americas Area is regularly recognized by organizations such as the Great Place to Work Institute and Universum, which frequently place EY near the top of their lists for countries across the region.
- Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA): Our EMEIA Area brings together more than 73,000 people from 12 Regions across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. Creating EMEIA cemented our reputation as the most globally integrated organization in our field.
- Asia-Pacific: Asia-Pacific brings together more than 27,000 people across five Regions. We believe that much of our clients' and our own future growth will come from the region and our Asia-Pacific Area will enable us to better serve clients looking to invest in or grow across the region.
- Japan: Our Japan Area employs more than 6,500 professionals and works with many of Japan's best-known companies across the financial, manufacturing and electronics sectors. It also acts as the hub for our Japan Business Services network — nearly 350 Japanese-speaking professionals based in 60 cities around the globe who serve Japanese clients operating overseas.
This structure is streamlined allowing us to make decisions quickly, execute our strategy and provide exceptional client service wherever in the world our clients do business.
Our global structure means we can respond faster than our competitors. We can access the right people and assemble high-performing teams to deliver exceptional client service worldwide.
So we're not merely a loose collection of national practices – we are a global organization, unified in our approach.
Inclusive borderless teams
As the most globally integrated organization in our field, we seek to develop a global mindset in all of our people.
We have seen that a work culture committed to diversity and inclusiveness drives our ability to think globally. Our leaders are accountable for building that culture – for setting goals, developing actions and monitoring results, and engaging clients and thought leaders.

Wrecks on Display
Usually the goods in a shop window are supposed to be, well, good. But with advertising like this, who needs competition?
Between the faded-out colors and crumbled who-knows-what littering her face, Tyra has seen better days.
I can see why the construction crew was called in: this cake-tastrophe not only split the earth asunder, it also rained cigarette ash from the sky. Nice blue border though. Er, why is that there again?
Nah, these aren't Wrecks. They're actually kind of cool, in a bizarre way - so I thought I'd share. The green prickly one in particular fascinates me.
What in the Sam hill is going on here?!? Is that supposed to be Barbie's skirt? Because it looks like some massive icing eruption, with her shooting out of the top like a human cannon ball.
And speaking of eruptions and cannon balls, I hope I don't get in too much trouble for posting these next, honorary "cake" Wrecks:
Really, these have got to be the least phallic looking phalli I've ever seen - so if your kids ask, they're little rocket ships, mkay? Just ignore that little sign. Check out the sweet display setup, too: that yellow plastic bucket is totally selling 'em. And what do you suppose that crumbly bread-ish looking thing is next to it? Wait, scratch that; I don't want to know.
Thanks to eagle-eyed Wreckporters Mark T., Monique R., MR, Rachel D., and Xanna C.

Gurnee, Illinois – NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) has earned accreditation for its Gurnee, IL bariatric surgery location from the Bariatric Surgery Center Network (BSCN) Accreditation Program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS).
"Obesity is one of the most pressing health issues affecting patients today," said Woody Denham, MD, Director of the Bariatric Surgery Program at NorthShore. "This achievement shows that we are rising to the challenge and providing patients with superior care, minimizing the risks associated with hypertension, cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes and helping our patients live longer, fuller lives."
The bariatric surgery program at NorthShore is a collaborative effort of surgeons, primary care doctors, dietitians, psychologists, exercise specialists and nurses. They work together to design individualized plans for every patient.
"Our team approach to providing care really sets us apart," Dr. Denham said. "There is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. We look at the unique needs of every patient who comes through our doors and provide care that will be life-changing for each person."
System-wide, NorthShore surgeons perform approximately 200 weight-loss surgeries per year, including minimally-invasive procedures ranging from laparoscopic gastric bypasses to lap band procedures to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies. The surgeons also perform revisional surgeries, including a cutting-edge endoscopy procedure.
As part of the BSCN accreditation from the ACS, experienced bariatric surgeons conducted an onsite verification, reviewing the program's structure, process and outcomes. NorthShore's Evanston, Highland Park, Vernon Hills and Gurnee bariatric surgery locations also received this accreditation.
The Gurnee center is located at 7900 Rollins Road, Suite 1200.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. – Washington and Lee fell behind 28-0, before scoring 35 points over the final 23:01 of the game in falling short of Hampden-Sydney, 42-35, in the ODAC football championship on Saturday afternoon at Everett Stadium.
The Generals (8-2, 5-1) trailed 21-0 at halftime following miscues that included an interception that was returned to the W&L 2-yardline and led to a H-SC touchdown, and other interception that occurred in the Tiger end zone that thwarted a W&L scoring opportunity.
Hampden-Sydney (8-1, 5-0) upped its lead to 28-0 on the opening drive of the second half when it marched 55 yards in six plays as senior quarterback Travis Lane hit senior wide receiver Kyle Vance with a 15-yard scoring strike with 12:24 left in the third quarter.
The Generals got on the board with 8:01 left in the third quarter as senior quarterback Charlie Westfal (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) capped a 10-play, 77-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. W&L made it a 28-14 game when junior running back Brett Murray (Lookout Mountain, Tenn./Baylor) found paydirt from 4 yards out with 2:32 to play in the third period. However, the Tigers struck again with a 23-yard scoring pass from Lane to senior wide receiver Sean Cavanaugh just 13 seconds into the fourth quarter for a 35-14 lead.
W&L continued its rally on the next possession, covering 75 yards in just five plays, as sophomore tight end Alex Evans (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run) scored on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Westfal to make it 35-21 with 12:51 to play. H-SC retaliated just 1:42 later on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Lane to Vance, but the Generals sliced it to 42-28 with 9:07 left on a 31-yard touchdown pass from Westfal to senior wide receiver Cody Smith (Irvine, Calif./Orange Lutheran).
The Tigers ran 7:42 off the clock on their next possession, but Evans blocked a 28-yard field goal attempt by HSC senior kicker David Prizzia with 3:15 left to keep it a two score game. Westfal then guided the Generals on a 17-play, 86-yard drive that resulted in a four-yard touchdown catch by Evans with 1:18 to play.
Washington and Lee lined up for an onside kick, but the Tigers recovered and ran out the clock to hand the Generals their first ODAC loss in the last 12 games.
Westfal paced the Generals' offense by completing 16-of-34 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. He also rushed 18 times for 61 yards and one touchdown. Junior running back Luke Heinsohn (Charlottesville, Va./Covenant) gained 113 yards on 16 carries, while Murray totaled 147 all-purpose yards and one touchdown. Evans snared a team-high seven balls for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Senior linebacker Rob Look (Dallas, Texas/Hillcrest) notched 12 tackles to lead the defense.
Lane completed 21-of-33 passes for 331 yards and four touchdowns, while senior running back Kirk Rohle tallied 101 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Vance caught nine passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns, and Cavanaugh had seven catches for 131 yards and one touchdown. First-year linebacker Josh Doggett recorded a team-high 10 tackles and one interception.
Hampden-Sydney claims the ODAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament, while W&L will now wait to see if it will receive an at-large bid after completing its' regular season.
