Hyperparathyroidism in Children
What is hyperparathyroidism?
Hyperparathyroidism is caused by overactive parathyroid glands. Parathyroid glands are tiny glands located near the thyroid. Overactive parathyroid glands produce high levels of parathyroid hormone, which, in turn, results in increased levels of calcium in the bloodstream. The excess calcium released by the bones can lead to osteoporosis and osteomalacia (both bone-weakening diseases). Another result of hyperparathyroidism is kidney stones, because of high levels of calcium excreted into the urine by the kidneys. Hyperparathyroidism is quite rare in children.
What causes hyperparathyroidism?
Causes of hyperparathyroidism include benign (noncancerous) tumors on the parathyroid glands or enlargement of the parathyroid glands.
What are symptoms of hyperparathyroidism?
The following are the most common symptoms of hyperparathyroidism in children. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Kidney pain (due to the presence of kidney stones)
Diminished bone density that causes bone pain
Joint aches and pains
Abdominal pain
Excessive urination
Muscle weakness
Weight loss
Compared to adults, children more commonly have symptoms and involvement of other parts of the bodies, such as kidney, pancreas, and bones, at diagnosis. Additionally, hyperparathyroidism in children is more commonly part of a syndrome, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia.
The symptoms of hyperparathyroidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
How is hyperparathyroidism diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hyperparathyroidism may include:
Bone X-rays. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Laboratory tests. The tests will measure calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and hormone levels.
Ultrasonography. A procedure that evaluates the structure of the parathyroid gland using sound waves recorded on an electronic sensor.
Nuclear medicine tests. These include Sestamibi and other scans that use small amounts of radioactive materials to evaluate how a parathyroid gland is functioning and to help diagnose problems.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
How is hyperparathyroidism treated?
Specific treatment for hyperparathyroidism will be determined by your child's doctor in consultation with you.
Considerations include:
Your child's current health status and past health history
Severity of the condition
Your child's ability to take medications and tolerate medical procedures
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your beliefs and concerns
Treatment often includes removal of parathyroid tissue.

When we rang in the New Year 2010, I resolved to read a book a week this year. It's been a challenge to keep up the momentum, but it's also been exciting to see my virtual bookshelf fill up on Shelfari. My shelf is at the bottom of my blog here, if you care to take a look.
So far, I've read 42 books this year! I MUST read 10 more books by New Year's Eve or I'll be disappointed in myself. No matter what is happening in my life, I absolutely have to read everyday, or I get to feeling like the day was a waste. During the day, I plot how I'll get schoolwork, errands, and housework done in time to get in bed by 10, so I can read for at least an hour before going to sleep. It's what I look forward to all day...
My husband, @TheAmericanPoet on Twitter, honored me with a poem about my reading quest. Please read it at his blog, Crowned with Laurels.

Iv'e been getting into audiobooks lately! I can listen while in the car or working on laundry or dishes...
Lately, I seem to fall asleep as soon as I get in bed. I will start reading and maybe get through 1 page or 2. I am jealous you can go for an hour!
I usually do my reading of (tangible) books in the mornings on my days off. Coffee and a little snack in hand too...perfect.
Wow! I am inspired by all your reading and reading goals!

Bees and Swaps
This is the last month of the Twice Around the Block virtual quilting bee and it happens to be my month! I decided to ask the group to make scrappy log cabins. I went through my stash and made little piles of fabric using pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Since I want this quilt to be scrappy, I didn't send anyone the same fabrics.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I find that figuring out how much fabric to send everyone is the hardest part of being in a bee.
This month I am also starting in a new bee that sounds really exciting. It is called The Traveling Quilts and was the idea of Heather and John.
Monica made us all these cool personized buttons!
In month one, we will all start our own quilts. A block, a small section, whatever we want. Then we will mail what we created to the next person on the bee list and they will add to the quilt. This will continue throughout the year, each person's quilt being mailed through the group and secretly growing. The last person will quilt the quilt and at the end of the year, we will receive our finished quilt back in the mail as a total surprise! I'm super excited about this concept and am not sure how I got into such an awesome group of people, but I know it's going to be fun!
I also signed up this morning (just in time!) for the second round of For the Love of Solids Modern Swap. I didn't participate in Round 1 but I remember a lot of amazing projects coming out of it. This morning I made my inspiration mosaic. I can't wait to find out who I have for a partner and get sewing!

Potential. Ask just about anyone what they think about downtown Carrollton and you will eventually hear talk about the potential they see in reviving the once bustling business district.
Situated right on the confluence of the Ohio and Kentucky rivers, downtown Carrollton is at first glance a quaint and attractive area with the historic look of a river town from the past. Many buildings have undergone restoration work to restore the Victorian facades that make it so special.
But a closer look reveals the challenges that face efforts to bring new life to downtown.

Hipsters have spoken: Microsoft is 'hip to be square'
Porcine aviation squadron ready for take off
Microsoft is getting hip again, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, but Google's still the coolest kid in school.
The polling organization asked the US's finest 18 and 29-year-olds what the coolest tech brands are, and for the first time in a long while around half answered Microsoft. The generation that grew up with an Xbox – and the recent buzz around the Surface fondleslab and Phone 8 – appears to have helped Redmond begin to shed its buttoned-down image.
Reuters quotes Josh Johnson, a 24-year-old media-arts student at the University of South Carolina, as an example of how Microsoft is winning the hearts and wallets of the new generation. "I know Apple is the cool, hip brand right now," he said, "but if Microsoft keeps coming out with new tech I'm sure it'll be back soon."
That said, Cupertino's still cooler than its Redmond rivals. About 60 per cent of da yout – in the South London vernacular – think that Apple is cooler than it was a few years ago. But before Tim Cook pops a cork, the survey also found that Google is the prom king of the tech classroom, with seven out of 10 of the 4,798 people polled giving it the thumbs-up.
Facebook has grown even less cool than Microsoft, according to 47 per cent of respondents, but even so 90 per cent of them reported checking in on the social networking site, and over half on a daily basis – declining in coolness doesn't mean discarded.
The news coincides with a recent interview with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, in which he hinted that consumers were Redmond's latest focus.
"Our number one thing is supplying products to consumers," he told MIT Review. "That's kind of what we do. Sixty-five percent of all PCs go to the consumer, not to the enterprise. Seventy percent of all Office suites go to the consumer, not the enterprise. One hundred percent of all Xboxes go to the consumers, not the enterprise. Now, we've monetized the enterprise better than the consumer, there's no question about that." ®

Giroux ends drought to help Flyers defeat Oilersby Adam Kimelman
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers' struggling offense got goals from expected and unexpected sources en route to a 4-2 win Saturday against the visiting Edmonton Oilers.
Claude Giroux snapped a 21-game goal drought that dated to last season, and fourth-liner Jay Rosehill scored his first in 18 games for the Flyers, who entered averaging a League-low 1.47 goals per game then scored more than one goal for the seventh time in 16 games.
Scott Hartnell and Vincent Lecavalier also scored. Mark Streit had a pair of assists, and Steve Mason stopped 24 of 26 shots. The Flyers won for the second time in five games and snapped a three-game home losing streak.
David Perron, in his first game back after missing four with a neck injury, scored for the Oilers. Taylor Hall had a goal, and Devan Dubnyk made 30 saves. The loss was Edmonton's second straight and seventh in eight games.
Giroux, who two seasons ago was third in the League with 93 points and last season was a point-per-game scorer, had seven assists in his first 15 games.
He had two glorious chances to score with 4:55 left in the second period, making a great move on Dubnyk to create an open net but lifting his backhander over the crossbar. He got the puck right back just to the left of the net but Ryan Smyth blocked his wrist shot. Giroux slammed his stick in frustration, but Wayne Simmonds thought he saw something different in his teammate.
"I was actually watching him skate up the ice and he had a little smile on his face, as if he knew he was going to get one," Simmonds said. "He pushed through and he did get one."
With the Flyers holding a 2-1 lead in the third period, Giroux picked up the puck in the Philadelphia end, raced up ice into the Edmonton zone, faked a shot, cut to the middle, and using Oilers defenseman Andrew Ference as a screen blasted one past Dubnyk at 11:26.
It was Giroux's first goal since April 15.
"It's frustrating," Giroux said. "It's been a couple months now and it's been tough. But to get that one kind of took a lot of weight off."
The players on the Flyers bench stood up to congratulate Giroux, and Mason left his crease to give a high-five.
"It was obviously a lot of relief," Giroux said. "To see all the boys on the bench being happy too, I think that was really fun."
Hartnell said, "[Giroux] played a great game. He seemed like he had the puck on his stick the whole night. He had the breakaway, the one-timer right afterward. ... It was almost getting funny on the bench there that he hadn't got one yet. [On the goal he] made a great move. That's the old [Giroux] that we know and everyone has learned to love. I think he's back now. He feels great with the puck and we have to keep that thing rolling."
For a team that had been outscored 18-6 in the third period this season, it was a jolt of confidence that allowed the Flyers to withstand a late Oilers rally that started when Hall scored to make it a one-goal game.
"Going into the third and getting that third goal that was huge for us," Streit said. "Big goal for us. And then getting another one, it's good for the confidence."
They also got a dose of confidence early when Rosehill, who has been a healthy scratch seven times in 16 games, drove to the net to redirect a Streit pass past Dubnyk at 11:56 of the first period.
It was the Flyers' first goal in three November home games and snapped a club-record shutout streak of 175:22 that dated to a Lecavalier goal with 3:26 left in the first period of an Oct. 29 game against the Anaheim Ducks. That streak includes back-to-back shutout losses to the Washington Capitals on Nov. 1 and the New Jersey Devils on Nov. 7.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Flyers' longest home-ice drought had been 157:22, set from Nov. 21 to Dec. 5, 2002.
"We needed a spark, definitely," Hartnell said. "[Rosehill] at practice he's got some skill. He's not an old-fashioned goon. ... [It] definitely gave us a big boost of energy on the bench."
Hartnell made it 2-0 with his second goal of the season, with 2:44 left in the first period. Braydon Coburn's shot from the right point was blocked but the deflection went to Streit along the wall on the left side of the Edmonton zone. The defenseman sent a quick pass through the slot to Hartnell, who stopped it and snapped a wrist shot past Dubnyk.
The two goals in the first marked the first time the Flyers scored more than once in a period since scoring twice in the first period Oct. 29 against Anaheim.
Perron cut Edmonton's deficit in half with a power-play goal with 1:35 left in the second period. Midway through the power play Giroux turned over the puck in the Philadelphia end. Ales Hemsky got the loose puck at the blue line and skated past Giroux and Nicklas Grossmann as he went behind the Philadelphia net. He came out the other side and found Perron just off the post on the left side, and he one-timed it past Mason.
Two minutes after Giroux's goal put the Flyers back up by two, Hall banged a loose puck in the slot past Mason to make it 3-2. That was as close the Oilers would get; Lecavalier capped the scoring with a sharp-angle goal at 16:33.
"I thought we started well the first 10 minutes of the game and then we took a penalty, and it kind of unraveled from there," Hall said. "They had some really good time in our end, had some really good chances. [Dubnyk] made a lot of big stops tonight, where in the past couple games we haven't been giving up those kinds of shots. It's something we have to clean up."
The Oilers (4-12-2) have to regroup quickly; they traveled after the game for one Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Flyers (5-10-1) get three days to enjoy the win before starting a three-game road trip Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators.
Giroux grew up not far from Ottawa in Hearst, Ontario, and played his junior hockey just across the river in Gatineau, Quebec. The hope is now that he's got a goal, he and the Flyers can start improving together.
"To get that first goal, I think it's going to get his confidence going," Lecavalier said. "He's going to play at another level."

This approach is from the south - see parking/routes for Bengower or Benlettery. From Benbreen North Top there is a steep descent over 500m to the NE, followed by a steepish ascent of another 500m to point L792530 A. Turn east here and the terrain continues to rise sharply in parts for another 600m to attain the summit, which is marked by a large cairn.

I think it's a meaningless application of Naismith's rule. It took us 8.5 without the access walk and we weren't hanging round much. The eastern half of the circuit is straightforward, even in a heavy April snowfall. We went up the south butt of the ridge then followed the slope up to Derryclare. We carried on just west of north without much descent and ascent to Binn Corr. Between its tops was an excellent place for the snow to stop and the cloud to roll back. From the North West top we'd a tremendous view of the rocky slopes of Binn Dubh to the west. We were now approaching the trickiest moment in this half of the round, the pronunciation of Mam na bhFonsai. Nothing in our experience of Scots Gaelic prepared us for this. The ascent of Binn Dubh is easy on good rock, up to the shattered approach to the summit.Picture is looking back to Derryclare from near the summit of Binn Dubh.

This in turn leads you to a sheep track on east side of Bin Bhan. I followed the track up to the 3-way mountain pass, Mam Eidhneach. From the gap between (B Dubh and B Bhraoin) I headed East along Binn Dubhs rocky shoulder, scrambling past a cairn at 563m [L791529 C] to a 2nd cairn at summit. I took the photo of the 3-way pass about 5 min from summit on way down. If you see mist coming whilst on way up/down, be sure that you take bearing(s). Trip Time 3h 25min incl. 15min stops.

The group had been about to start their ascent of Bin Dubh the next peak in the circuit, when they stopped to chat with another group of walkers who were doing the walk from the opposite direction. Both groups met just above Maumnageeragh Col to swap pleasantries. It transpired that the other group was also from the North (Belfast Civil Service Walking Club). The two gentlemen from Galway we had met earlier on Ben Gabhar (first part of walk) and later on Binn Bhraoin summit were also there and they accompanied our party to the summit of Binn Dubh (Bencollaghduff). Buoyed by the camaraderie engendered by our meeting and the unplanned rest break, we bade our fellow walkers fair wind and began our ascent of Binn Dubh. Surprisingly, this was not as difficult as it first appeared although after turning south past the second spot height the final climb to the summit cairn required a little more care and the use of hands in one or two places. The broad rocky summit provided fantastic views to the west such as those described in reports of the previous stages but also provided the first relatively unimpeded views across the northern edge of Lough Inagh over to the northern Mamturks. The views north over Binn Bhán's eastern spur & Knockpasheemore towards Kylemore Lough & Killary Harbour were awesome in the late afternoon sunlight. To the south the final legs of the Horseshoe, Binn Chorr & Binn Doire Chláir awaited.

The climb south to Binn Bhraoin was straightforward although the grain of the rock tended to encourage us to the left. This might want watching in mist. Similarly the ridge wanders west, south then south east between some ill-defined tops so a bit of attention would be in order.The next descent's the easiest of the day if you don't feel too guilty about repaying Galway's hospitality by slipping a few cubic metres of scree down the slopes. On the other hand the ascent to Binn Gabhar's positively tricky. A developing path took us up among crags over the first half of the slope. It disappeared but trending to the right worked all right after that, scrambling up some fairly obvious ledges and gullies. The summit has too many cairns but we visited them all to make sure.Binn Lettery's next and must seem no distance going north in the morning. Seemed a long way at the end of the round. It's a fantastic viewpoint. I don't know the best descent to the Youth Hostel but a straight line cost us 15 minutes getting round crags on the upper slopes.This is an amazing circuit. Getting something of this sort to ourselves on an April Sunday in Scotland would be unthinkable. But we saw no people and no marks in the snow. A ripple of applause is due to the fearless fliers of Aer Arran whose direct Edinburgh Galway flight makes this a workable weekend trip.

The Georgia Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans is proud to announce the opening of the Division's on-line store. After the Confederate hysteria in 2015 when many of the major merchants exclaimed they will not be selling "Confederate" merchandise anymore, the Georgia Division made the decision to open an on-line store to make Confederate Flags and tags available to its membership and the public. Given the superior quality and historical accuracy of our Flags, we have the most completive prices available than any other on-line store selling Flags. Our major objective is having the patriotic symbols of the Confederate Soldier available for all too proudly display. All profits from the sales go directly to cover the expenses of our Division office.
What makes our Flags unique from the rest?
Our supplier, Ron Moore of the Virginia Division, SCV and founder of Richmond Depot Flags, has been studying these historical flags for many years. Ron manufactured our flags based on real battle flags of the Army of Tennessee and the Army of Northern Virginia Battle Flags which makes our Flags authentic replications based on historical originals. Our Flags with these authentic designs are exclusively sold and distributed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Most unique are the various star patterns that represent true Confederate flags. Not only are our Flags historically accurate, but they are made with polyester material, heavy duty grommets and has (4) rows of stitching on the flag end for durability.

Pakistan has detained seven suspected Al Qaeda militants in a US-assisted raid in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province. One of those arrested was identified in reports as Zabih al-Taifi, who Pakistani officials say played a role in the July 2005 subway bombings in London. The arrests are the latest sign of cooperation between Pakistan and its Western allies to combat terrorist groups that straddle the lawless border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Mr. Taifi is a Saudi national, and at least two others detained were ethnic Arabs, the BBC reports. The others were all Afghans. The men, who were arrested at a house of an Afghan refugee on the outskirts of Peshawar, were believed to have planned attacks on trucks crossing into Afghanistan to supply coalition forces. The raid followed a tip-off from US officials.
A group of Westerners, presumed to be US intelligence agents, watched the raid by Pakistani security forces on the safe house, Reuters reports.
A resident of Bara Qadeem, the village where the raid took place, told Reuters that he saw some "goras", a term usually applied to white Westerners, observing the raid.
"They came in a black car with tinted glass, but did not take part in the operation," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The intelligence officials had earlier said that the arrested men were believed to have planned attacks on trucks taking supplies to Western forces in Afghanistan and they included four Arabs and three Afghans. A militant source had said that two Arabs and five Afghans were arrested.
The intelligence officials later said the nationality of the other suspects was being established.
The International Herald Tribune reports that seven militants were arrested and were believed to be planning attacks on NATO convoys using the Khyber Pass to supply troops in Afghanistan. A Pakistani security official said Taifi had been hiding in Bajaur, a tribal district that has seen fierce battles between Pakistani troops and Taliban militants.
Taliban guerrillas have recently increased efforts to attack the route, prompting American officials to secure pacts with Russia and Central Asian nations to transport goods into Afghanistan from the north.
The Associated Press (AP) reports that an unmanned spy plane and three helicopters were overhead during the raid. In recent months, the US has stepped up its use of drones to fire missiles at Al Qaeda leaders and other targets along the Afghan-Pakistani border. Pakistan has objected to the violation of its airspace. Wednesday's raid involved close cooperation with US officials, though none have commented publicly. Pakistan's Army has so far declined to comment.
Pakistani intelligence officials told AP and Reuters that Taifi, the detained Saudi, played a role in the 2005 attacks in London, when four British Islamists carried out suicide bombings that killed 52 people. Some of the bombers had visited Pakistan and trained with militants there.
But Britain's Daily Telegraph reports that the involvement of Taifi in the plot is uncertain. Police sources said they had no knowledge of him.
British and American intelligence officials say they have accounted for most of the senior Al Qaeda operatives allegedly involved in planning the July 7 attacks from Pakistan.
Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi, the man said to have planned the attacks, was captured in Turkey in 2006 as he was travelling to Iraq in a bid to improve relations with terrorists there.
His associate, Abu Munthir, who acted as a contact between terrorist groups and Al Qaeda's senior command, was detained in Pakistan in 2004.
The bomb-maker is said to be a man called abu Ubaida al-Masri who is thought to have died from hepatitis C last year.
The rise of Islamist militancy among Britain's large Pakistani population has become a serious concern for British politicians and security forces. Prime Minister Gordon Brown recently said that the majority of terror plots uncovered in Britain have links to Al Qaeda in Pakistan.
Agence France-Presse reports that Britain's Foreign Secretary David Miliband left Pakistan four days before the raid. His diplomacy was largely aimed at lowering tensions between Pakistan and India in the wake of the attacks on Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in November. A spokesman for his office in London said it was investigating the reports of Wednesday's arrests.
President Obama said during last year's election campaign that he would order airstrikes on militant targets in Pakistan, with or without Pakistan's permission. The US uses drones to fire missiles at what it calls "high-value" Al Qaeda targets in the troubled border area.
The New York Daily News reports that eight such operatives have been killed in the last six months. It says former President Bush gave a green light to the CIA to take action, boosting morale at the agency. Outgoing Central Intelligence Agency chief Michael Hayden told staff that a "powerful blow" had been struck against Al Qaeda during the last year.
The Christian Science Monitor reports that Pakistani leaders often publicly condemn the drone attacks but their complaints about US actions appear to lack conviction, fanning speculation that there is an unspoken pact between the two countries. Earlier this month, Vice President Joe Biden met Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani and reportedly asked for the incoming administration to rethink its tactics.
But former President Pervez Musharraf, under whose rule these air incursions into Pakistan began, said this weekend that there was never any such understanding between Pakistan and the US in his rule.
"Pakistan has done more than anyone else in the war against terror," he said before boarding a plane on his way to the United States. "The United States should not ask us to do more," he said.
"If the Americans could start focusing more on ways to help Pakistan fight the Pakistani Taliban," the larger fight against militancy and terrorism in the region might be more successful, says Hassan Askari Rizvi, former professor of Pakistan Studies at Columbia University in New York.
Besides better cooperation with the Pakistanis, Mr. Rizvi says the American forces being deployed to Afghanistan next month should also be used to help seal the Afghan border.

SynthWave genius Mitch Murder recently dropped another slab of slap bass heavy atmospherics. The Sweedish master has whipped up a musical ode to something that's very close to our hearts, science and the progress of science. Here's Mitch Murder's Medley For Science.
As you'd expect from Mitch, the track takes an 80s Soundtrack slant, we'd even go so far as to say there's a bit of a Weird Science vibe about it. Murder rocks the digital bass with ease, resting the track on an impulsive groovy bassline, mixing it up with some bright, optimistic synth chords and melodies. This could quite easily be the engineering montage theme in an 80s techno comedy flick. Once again Mitch Murder proves why he does it best.

Collections and Projects
Acumen Digital Library System
At the University of Alabama, we have developed a simple, robust digital library system using PHP, MySQL, and Apache. The new system is free, easy to set up and administer, imposes no new work flows or skill set requirements on archivists, bypasses the need to create extra metadata wrappers, works in all major browsers, runs on the most common web server stack, and automatically creates and updates its own index database (while storing no valuable data inside it).
NHPRC Grant Project: Digitizing the S. D. Cabaniss Papers
The grant "Digitizing the S.D. Cabaniss Papers", part of the "Digitizing Historical Records" effort by NHPRC, was funded for 14 months. The intent was to provide online access to the content in a low-cost, scalable model which simulates online the experience of the patron in the reading room. That is, the finding aid provides the descriptive information about the content, and from the finding aid, content in each series is linked in the order found in each file and box.
We are currently using a version of this workflow to digitize and present the Pauline Jones Gandrud Papers, an extensive collection of genealogy research.
Crowdsourcing Initiatives
The University Libraries now has two Crowdsourcing projects to allow users to "tag" or "transcribe" materials from our collections. Crowdsourcing is defined as a distributed problem-solving and production process that involves outsourcing a task to a group of people -- it allows difficult and time-consuming projects to be tackled a bit at a time, and by a large group of individuals, working asynchronously and at their own pace.

Court Councils, Commissions, and Committees
Role of Court Committees
While the State Courts System is administered by the Chief Justice and the Florida Supreme Court, the policy development strategy of the judicial branch is, in many respects, very collegial. Committees are the mechanism established by the supreme court for developing consensus on appropriate judicial branch policies affecting the administration of justice. Committees allow the branch to take advantage of the rich intellectual, social, and experiential diversity of judges, practitioners, court staff, and topical experts.
State Courts System committees usually receive their authority and directive through an administrative order of the Chief Justice. Court committees have no authority to become involved in issues beyond the scope of their order, absent requesting and receiving approval in advance from the Supreme Court. Most court committees are advisory with no direct policy making authority; they make recommendations for consideration by the supreme court.
Committees may be appointed when a specific issue or concern is brought to the Supreme Court's attention, or when the Supreme Court desires to evaluate and improve the court system's performance in a particular area. Court committees make a vital contribution to the function of the judicial branch.
The current court committee structure involves FIVE committee types:
- Council
- Commission
- Division steering committee
- Work group/task force, and
- Other committee
A council is responsible for addressing judicial administration issues that have statewide impact, affect multiple levels of the court system, or affect multiple constituencies in the court community. Council membership includes internal and external representation.
Judicial Management Council - see Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.225, AOSC18-25
- Workgroup on Appellate Review of County Court Decisions - see AOSC19-3
- Workgroup on Court Costs and Fines - see AOSC18-77
- Workgroup on Remote Appearance - see AOSC19-2
A commission addresses high-level policy issues that span the divisions and/or levels of the court. Membership of court commissions primarily consists of judicial officers and court personnel.
- District Court of Appeal Budget Commission – see Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.235, AOSC-19-6
- Trial Court Budget Commission – see Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.230, AOSC-18-23
- Commission on District Court of Appeal Performance and Accountability- see AOSC18-24
- Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability - see AOSC18-19
- Florida Commission on Access to Civil Justice - see AOSC18-27
Florida Courts Technology Commission – see Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.236, AOSC18-28
- Appellate Court Technology Committee – see Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.236, AOSC16-38
- Florida Court Education Council – see AOSC18-26
- Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules and Policy – see AOSC18-29
Steering Committee
A steering committee represents the interests of a particular court division. Steering committees develop an aspirational vision of the ideal court division; recommend models, standards, and best practices; and conduct court improvement initiatives. Steering committees also address the impact on their topical assignment area of new legislation, case law, federal guidelines, and other changes.
- Steering Committee on Families and Children in the Court – see AOSC18-30
- Criminal Court Steering Committee – see AOSC18-20
- Steering Committee on Problem-Solving Courts - see AOSC18-32
Work Group/Task Force
A work group or task force is an ad hoc group appointed for a specific period of time to address a specific issue or narrow topic. Work groups and task forces conduct studies, prepare reports, and take other appropriate action as directed by the Chief Justice.
- Standing Committee on Fairness and Diversity – see AOSC18-33

Japan's biggest film studio, Toho Co. Ltd.'s Feb. 21 acquisition of Toho Real Estate Co., Ltd. offers a sneak preview of how battle lines are being drawn between the country's corporate powers and governance advocates. Toho, owners of 58% of Toho Real Estate, bought the remaining shares for 16.6 billion yen. Toho turned its once-majority held affiliate into a wholly-owned unit for a bargain price. The parent's own conservative appraisal put the value of the affiliate's real-estate assets at 64 billion yen. Prospect Asset Management, a Tokyo-based activist fund which owned about 5.6% of Toho Real Estate, estimated the value of the unit's top two assets alone at 93 billion yen. The activist fund protested the bid and failed. In Japan, there is little legal recourse for minority shareholders like Prospect Asset in this scenario.
In the 1960-1980s, it was not unusual for Japanese conglomerates to spin off affiliates into public companies while still maintaining controlling ownership stakes. Though very inefficient, these arrangements, called keiretsu, or networks of affiliates, were quite lucrative. These affiliates not only operated as part of their parents' keiretsu networks, but also paid them high dividends. The keiretsu system, inherently susceptible to conflicts of interests, is a severe impediment to outside shareholder rights.
The global Great Recession of 2008-2010 has heightened the already urgent need for Japan to restructure its economy. In response to this pressure, many Japanese corporate giants have begun to acquire affiliates to revamp their capital bases. According to Tokyo Stock Exchange, in 2010 alone, 37 of a total of 68 companies that were delisted were merged into their parents. In 2011, 28 out of the 52 delisted companies were absorbed into their parents, and in 2012, 21 out of 56.
Prospect Asset's failed protests were still meaningful because they openly challenged the keiretsu network within the broader context of corporate governance and minority shareholder rights. Prospect Asset was not alone. Since October 2012, other minority shareholders have banded together in opposition to a joint bid for Japan's largest cable TV operator J: Com by KDDO Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation. The two companies together control about 70% of J: Com and have plans to turn it into a 50/50 joint venture after the purchase.
It is likely that more and more minority shareholders will challenge the old-guard networks in Japan. Without a doubt, reforming the keiretsu system is pivotal to Japan's broader national agenda to restructure its economy. Optimally, the country's lawmakers and regulators would support activist owners by introducing new regulations that rigorously protect minority shareholders' rights.

Try a little harder to be a little better.
Sometimes it's not about big jumps, or scary decisions. Sometimes it's just about trying a little harder, to become a better human, and be yourself around others, just to spread happiness around you.
In a world where all is based on lies, appearence, publicity, income, popularity and selfishness, it shouldn't be too difficult if we all tried a little harder to be a little better.
It really shouldn't be that hard to...
Try to use this friday to make yourself a little better. (I promise you'll make this owl extremely happy).

The Last Unicorn
Well we'll kiss for that's how it begins
We'll embrace just to warm our skins
I'll think of her and you'll think of him
And we'll talk to keep
The silence from our ears
And we'll laugh because we're so close to tears
We're just lonely, you know
That's why we're here
Because you don't taste like you should
And you don't fit in my arms like she would
Lying in the dark, it's understood
We are both lost
And we won't be found
We will wake up with each other in our paws
You cover over white bits
Like I've not seen them before
We'll say goodbye and then we'll say no more
Because hearts won't buy love
And nor will they sell
And there is no love in this hotel
Though we're walking home we know too well
We are both lost
We are both lost
And we won't be found
She was my compass
He was your map
We've come too far to be turning back
And we'll sit on our single beds
Nothing on our hearts
And tears on our threads
For we know
The last unicorn is dead

MARTIN, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team wrapped up its regular season Sunday afternoon, taking on the Ohio Valley Conference champion UT Martin Skyhawks in Martin, Tenn. Despite already clinching the top spot in the conference tournament on Friday, the Skyhawk attack was as active as ever, scoring six goals in the contest.
Abi Sanvee scored her first career hat trick for the Skyhawks, helping the team move forward into the OVC tournament with a large amount of momentum.
Freshman goalkeeper Jordan Brown finished the game with six saves, giving her a season total of 123, third most by a Golden Eagle net minder in program history. She also wrapped up the 2012 campaign with a 6.83 saves per game mark, second best season total in school history.
Junior forward Ellie Iaciofano finished tied for third in the OVC with 20 points on the year, scoring eight goals and making four assists. Both were career-high marks for Iaciofano and both led the team for the 2012 season.
The Golden Eagles will head into the offseason looking to fill seven spots on the roster with the departure of seven senior members. Those seniors departing from the Golden Eagles after long standing careers include: Kris Cambron, Sarah Gawthrop, Andrea Meloff, Kerri Reid, Alex Stevenson, Julie Thompson, and Jacquie Watkins.

Football: Morrisville-Eaton/Hamilton wins sixth straight to end season
MORRISVILLE - The Morrisville-Eaton/Hamilton football team entered Thursday's crossover game with Little Falls with its best record in years.
Now it's even better after a 24-12 win. MEH ended the year on a six-game win streak for a 6-3 mark.
E.J. Hackney scored on a short run in the first period and Alec Diable gave MEH a 12-0 lead with an end run in the second.
The Mounties scored before halftime to halve the deficit then tied the game with a short pass by Mike Battisti just before the third period ended.
Battisti passed to Cody Dillon for a 49-yard gain on a 4th-and-inches late in the third period but MEH's Brandon Marshall sacked Battisti on fourth down to end the threat.
J.T. Metz then put MEH ahead with a successful 4th-and-inches play.
The senior quarterback broke out of a pile of players and ran 53 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 9:52 to play in regulation.
MEH's defense held LF on the next series and another Hackney TD run, this time from 13 yards, gave the hosts some breathing room.
Battisti had a long pass play to Dillon on the next series to give LF hope for a comeback, but MEH's defense rallied around a Wyatt Morris sack to stop the drive. The offense took over ran out the clock to seal the victory.

|CDs Get Cheaper As Labels Get Creative To Beat 2002 Slump
|Monday, 17 June 2002
Walk into any good used CD store in Los Angeles and you'll find the real music enthusiasts routing through the bins of discs looking for their next fix.
And much like a good rock of crack, their fix is $5 to $7, not $20. For the first time in modern music history, the music industry is realizing that they need to deal with the value of their prerecorded media. DVD-Video discs are selling at a record pace thanks to innovative content and bountiful added values that make a $24 DVD-video disc actually worth $24 to consumers. Before the music industry can really decide over its next format (SACD or DVD-Audio) it needs to solve two pressing problems right now. The first problem is the CD is no longer worth $20 and the second problem is much of the music being pushed through traditional venues is simply lousy.
A recent RollingStone.com article cites labels starting to sell CDs as cheap as $6.99 to promote developing acts such as John Mayer and The White Stripes. RollingStone.com goes on to highlight labels like Island/Def Jam and Interscope/Geffen/A&M who are paying rebates to record stores as high as $3.50 per disc. This model allows retailers to drop the price of the disc thus reducing the risk of the music consumer when considering investing in the music of a new artist. The rebate model is not a new one – having been used recently by the automotive industry to protect the car dealer's profit margin by making all of the money to be made on the sale of a car available in a factory-to-dealer incentive.
With the imposing threat of "hey man – I'll rip a CD of that for you" the music industry knows they are in trouble and lowering the prices of CDs for good new artists is a good way of dealing with it. At the same time, the Big Five need to start making hard decisions about support for a new music format – either DVD-Audio or SACD – complete with better sounding stereo and surround sound capabilities so that users have a reason to spend closer to $20 on a disc.
One law remains – as Dick Clark is famous for saying… "if it is in the grooves. It is in the grooves." Rapper Eminem's new album, The Eminem Story, is a good example. The people wanted the CD so badly that they were willing to take seriously illegal actions to get it. Interscope cranked up production and sped up distribution to have one of the biggest successes in an otherwise stinky year for music. The lesson is - if you want to sell CDs for $16 in 2002 make sure the music doesn't suck. If you want to sell a disc for $16 or more next year and beyond – it better have more added values like high resolution stereo and surround sound much like a DVD movie has different audio tracks, commentaries, trailers and more.

This is about the dominance of the rectangular format in a certain tradition of picture making, a dominance that still holds today and extends well beyond the medium of painting.

It did not take a full day of touring the University of Tennessee campus and football facilities for Havelock defensive lineman Kendal Vickers to know where he wants to play college football.
It did not take a full day of touring the University of Tennessee campus and football facilities for Havelock defensive lineman Kendal Vickers to know where he wants to play college football.
Vickers, a 6-foot-3 240-pounder, who previously committed to South Carolina, took a tour of Tennessee Friday guided by Volunteers� coaches and made the decision to pledge to Tennessee.
Vickers and his family made the eight-hour drive to Knoxville for the visit, then are heading to Tallahassee, Fla. to visit other family members.
�It has been crazy. Seeing the facilities here and the stadium and everything, I love it,� Vickers said.
�Their brand new weight room really caught my eye and the indoor practice facilities are so nice, as well as the coaches being genuine guys. It is the place for me.�
Vickers said that during his tour of Neyland Stadium, he went everywhere including the press box and even the roof over the press box.
That is where Vickers said that he made the decision to commit to new Tennessee head coach Butch Jones.
�I told Coach Jones that I wanted to be a Vol, and he just gave me a big ole� hug,� Vickers said.
Vickers played both the offensive and defensive line at Havelock in last season�s 3A state championship campaign.
Vickers feels he brings that pedigree of winning, along with strength and athleticism coming off the defensive end, a dire need for the Vols over the past few seasons.
First-year Tennessee running backs coach Robert Gillespie was the one who noticed Vickers.
�They (coaches) want me to be a pass-rushing defensive end and that is what I have always wanted to be,� Vickers said. �They are committed to winning and I want to do my part to help Tennessee get back to an SEC championship.�
Vickers recorded 29 tackles and 6.5 sacks for the Rams in his senior season.
At Tennessee, the young man from Havelock will be placing his hand on the same ground as Vol legends like Reggie White, John Henderson and Leonard Little.
Vickers said that he is most thrilled to know he will be competing against former Havelock teammate and future South Carolina Gamecock Pharoh Cooper for the next four years.
�Competing in the SEC is what I always wanted to do. I love to compete and the competition here is the best,� Vickers said.
�Coach Jones told me they are running a 4-3 defense and he sees me playing end and being a great pass rusher. Competing against Pharoh (Cooper) is just going to be so much fun and wherever Derrell (Scott) goes, either compete with or against him too.�
Vickers will enroll at Tennessee on July 8, and said he is looking into majoring in Broadcast Journalism.

Have you ever heard of Chuck Pagano? He is the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. He is currently battling leukemia. This past Sunday the Colts won and Chuck was able to attend the game. Afterwards he gave an inspiring speech. Anyone can see it on You Tube. It left tears in my eyes.
Coach Pagano's speech was meant to inspire the players. It was meant to inspire others who are facing tough odds and circumstances. I have no idea if he is a believer in Jesus Christ or not. I have no idea if he even knows he spoke the gospel on Sunday. Regardless he did.
The gospel is one message but it comes in many different forms. The tears in my eyes were not just inspiration but the realization of the gospel in a football locker room.
He encouraged the players to live in a vision and not in the circumstances. He also told them they were already champions. Now that is not the standard Jesus was crucified, buried and rose again the third day gospel. No question about it. However, we limit the gospel. The gospel or "good news" gives life to that which is dead. It makes old things new. It redeems the discarded. It restores.
In the New Testament we see the same message that Chuck Pagano gave only it was for the souls of men and women. This message was not just for a football team. This message was of hope and life beyond today.
Often it is our circumstances that play on our soul. Sometimes during a long run of good circumstances we often forget the Lord. It is a Biblical pattern. Our comfort makes us actually forget about the Jesus who gave his life to be an example. Our comfort causes us to seek more comfort. Oh, we can add some Jesus in the mix but usually once we get comfortable we forget the image of a suffering Jesus who told us to find life we have to lose our own.
For others bad circumstances leave them disillusioned and discouraged wondering if God really cares. It is safe to say most of us have been there and done that. Those who can't get past their circumstances cease to grow. They get stuck. Sometimes the stickiness is worse than the circumstances.
Chuck talked about having a vision. It was a vision that rises above our circumstances. Jesus is our vision and it is not based on how he will get me out of my mess. It is based on the work of Jesus being done. He has already given his life so we can have life. It is a gospel that forgives the past and encourages us to move forward one step at a time. It is a vision where we place our focus on Christ not the circumstances just as Peter did when he took those few but radical steps on water. With our focus on Jesus we can walk on water.
Chuck went on to say the Colts were already champions. In order to live a new life in Christ we can understand that Christ secured the victory. There is no erasing the name out of the book of life. It doesn't matter if we slip and fall, the work of Christ is steadfast and secure. Not only that but Paul says he has already given us every spiritual blessing we need. It's not on the way…it has already been given.
We are Champions. We have the vision of a risen Savior. There is no circumstance on earth that can separate us from the love of God. Thanks Chuck for reminding us.
