On May 24, 2013, Charles Ramsey was present at an event to meet the public when a statue of him was unveiled. The unveiling took place in Stanville, Kentucky at the Eric C. Conn Law Office. Eric C. Conn was the host of the event and is known for his love of statues.
Conn stated, "I can't think of a better way to commend my friend Charles than having a statue made in his honor."
The sculptor decided to depict Ramsey as he was on the day he became a hero.
The sculptor has stated, "The most difficult part of making the statue is sculpting Ramsey's unique hair style."
Ramsey was accompanied by two members of what he refers to as "Team Charles." He had to endure more free burgers as burgers and refreshments were served at the event. The statue, will be donated to a museum in Cleveland, Ohio, which is Ramsey's hometown.

WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Both the House and Senate have passed bills that would reduce funding of the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called food stamps, but the extent of the cuts will not become known until negotiators from both chambers agree to a compromise measure.
SNAP was reduced as part of a 5-year House farm bill by $2 billon, slightly more than 3 percent. A similar farm bill passed by the Senate would reduce SNAP funding by $400 million a year, about half of 1 percent.
Both actions were taken last week.
By voice vote, the Senate also adopted a separate amendment that would prevent convicted murderers, rapists and pedophiles from receiving food stamps for life.
Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the amendment would likely have "strongly racially discriminatory effects."
"The amendment would bar from SNAP (food stamps), for life, anyone who was ever convicted of one of a specified list of violent crimes at any time – even if the committed the crime decades ago in their youth and have served their sentence, paid their debt to society, and been a good citizen ever since," Greenstein said in a statement.
He continued, "Given the incarceration patterns in the United States, the amendment would have a skewed racial impact. Poor elderly African Americans convicted of a single crime decades ago by segregated Southern juries would be among those hit."
Greenstein's group said the House version would slash $20 billion in spending from the program over the next decade, resulting in nearly 2 million people being kicked off of SNAP if the bill becomes law.
More than 200,000 children would lose free meals at school. Poor families that have managed to scrape together a few thousand dollars for emergencies would get kicked off the program. Other families battling poverty would get kicked off of SNAP for owning a car.
"Many of these families would be forced to choose between owning a reliable car and receiving food assistance to help feed their families," said the report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
The report also said, "The bill's SNAP cuts would come on top of an across-the-board reduction in benefits that every SNAP recipient will experience starting November 1, 2013. On that date, the increase in SNAP benefits established by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) will end, resulting in a loss of approximately $25 in monthly SNAP benefits for a family of four. Placing the SNAP cuts in this farm bill on top of the benefit cuts that will take effect in November is likely to put substantial numbers of poor families at risk of food insecurity."
According to experts, SNAP not only helps families keep food on the table, but also boosts the economy as low-income households pour money into the economy.
Feeding America, a domestic hunger-relief charity, reported that 1 in 4 Black households live with food insecurity issues compared to 1 in 10 White households. Thirty-two percent of Black children don't have adequate access to food compared to 16 percent of White children.
Republicans who supported the House Agriculture Committee bill lambasted the current spending levels in the program and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said that the growth in the program was responsible for expanding a "dependency class."
A report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities published March 2013, titled "SNAP Is Effective and Efficient," found a more likely culprit: the Great Recession.
"The number of people eligible for SNAP increased because of the recession and lagging recovery," the report stated. "The number of people with income below 130 percent of poverty (the SNAP income limit) increased substantially, from 54 million in 2007, before the recession, to 60 million in 2009 and 64 million in 2011, allowing more households to qualify for help from the program."
The Center report also found that, "The recent growth in SNAP spending is temporary. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts that SNAP spending will fall as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in coming years as the economy recovers and the Recovery Act provisions end."
Amelia Kegan, a senior policy analyst at Bread for the World, a faith-based international organization that works to end hunger, said that SNAP's ability to automatically adjust to meet the need of Americans struggling through the recession shows that the program is working.
"The food stamp program, the child nutrition program, and the school lunch programs were able to automatically respond and expand to address the spike in need," said Kegan. "As the economy recovers and more people get back to work and don't need these programs anymore, participation falls."
Feeding America reported that more White households are food insecure than Black households, but the rate of food insecurity in Black households is twice as high. Whites also make up roughly 36 percent of people that use SNAP. Blacks account for 22 percent.
This concerns many advocates that say more Blacks need to be educated about the program that could play a critical role in helping them to escape poverty.
"One major concern that I have within the African American community is that many people don't have direct access to the program. They are not sure about the program," said Brian Banks, director of public policy and community outreach for the Capital Area Food Bank. "They don't understand that the program is there to help and support them."
Banks said that the proposed cuts to the safety net program are disheartening.
"This is the wrong time to cut this program the biggest safety net program in America," said Banks, director of public policy and community outreach for the Capital Area Food Bank. "We're talking about your neighbors, your grandparents, your colleagues. You'd be surprised by who's suffering from hunger.
Banks added: "The federal government is in place and should have the will to support people without hurting them. People are struggling and if we cut programs that are helping them, where are they going to go to get assistance?"

NNPA Editor-in-Chief
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – With some embarrassing internal issues addressed and its sights set firmly on expanding its global impact, the National Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM) kicks off its 39th annual convention in Atlanta this Thursday.
The theme of this year's conference is "Restore, Rebuild, Renew." And perhaps no one can appreciate the need for those three Rs more than Vanessa R. Williams, the association's executive director and CEO.
Williams, who supervises NCBM's day-to-day operations, received a telephone call three years ago that caught her by surprise. On the other end of the telephone was an FBI agent. And more surprising than his call was what he was calling about.
"The FBI agent was very pleasant," Williams recounted in an interview. "He identified himself as being with the FBI and asked if the organization had any accounts in the state of Louisiana. I told him 'No,' He said, 'Are you certain of that?' I said, 'I am absolutely positive of that.' As the CEO of the organization, there's no way the board would allow that happen. We secured all accounts out of the national office [in Atlanta].
"He re-stated who he was and said there was an ongoing investigation against Mayor Grace and that this was an investigation that had gone on for over two or three years."
Grace was mayor of St. Gabriel, La., a town of 6,777 people about 12 miles south of Baton Rouge. He was also president of the National Conference of Black Mayors. He was such a beloved and respected member of the organization that instead of being called Mayor Grace, he was known as Daddy Grace. But the FBI discovered that Daddy Grace had become a total disgrace – to his city, to the NCBM and to himself.
The FBI discovered that unknown to his fellow mayors, Grace had secretly registered the organization as a Louisiana non-profit corporation in 2005 and renewed the application on Nov. 25, 2009, listing himself as the sole officer. He also opened an unauthorized bank account in the organization's name.
According to those familiar with the investigation, Grace would contact sponsors, tell them that Williams was about to lose her job in the national office and they should send money directly to him in Louisiana. Because Grace was so trusted and held three keys position – president, treasurer and chairman of the fianance committee – he was able to dupe NCBM for a decade.
Grace was also siphoning off money from his city. He and four other small town mayors in Louisiana were ensnarled in an FBI sting operation. Grace, 69, was sentenced last year to 22 years in prison, fined $50,000 and forfeited $22, 000 after being convicted of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations ACT (RICO), bribery, obstruction of justice, mail fraud, wire fraud, making false statements, and use of an interstate facility in the aid of racketeering. In addition to illegally diverting money from NCBM, he was found guilty of extorting businessmen seeking to do business with the city and required kickbacks from operators setting up temporary housing in his city for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The most remarkable thing about the organization is how a key group of leaders, placing their personal reputation on the line, rallied to stabilize and then revive the National Conference of Black Mayors.
Leading the charge was Mayor Robert Bowser of East Orange, N.J., its former – and soon to be future – president.
"Mayor Bowser was the president before, he got the organization in the black and then had to come back and rescue it again," CEO Vanessa Williams said. "When everything happened with Mayor Grace, we needed someone who knew the organization. He was the one who preceded Mayor Grace."
Also in the forefront to reclaim the NCBM was Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, Calif. and first vice president. Johnson, who is expected to be elected president of the group in Atlanta, told Williams, "I am here and I am going to be here for you." And he was.
Surprisingly, about a half dozen long-time corporate sponsors – including Coca Cola, John Deere, Comcast, AT&T and United Water – did not abandon the Black mayors in their time of need. Some reduced their funding, waiting to see how the organization would rebound, but at least one increased its sponsorship dollars.
In a statement issued last week, the mayors said: "The Board of Directors of the NCBM realizes that these unfortunate events have not only unfairly harmed the organization, they have also created financial hardships for some of our valued friends and vendors. Like many Fortune 500 companies have done, we could have sought the protection of U.S. bankruptcy laws, thus drastically limiting our financial obligations. However, that is not the path we have chosen to take. All vendors who have done properly authorized work with or for us will be paid in full. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your forbearance thus far.
"We are on target to repay at least 80 percent of all outstanding debts within the next 30 days and the remainder by the end of this year. Because the diverted money went to Mayor Grace and not to the NCBM, our legal counsel is working closely with the IRS to determine the extent of our financial liability under the U.S. tax code. Once that issue has been resolved, we anticipate entering an agreement with the IRS to make sure that every cent owed by NCBM is paid."
After failing to hold a national convention for three years, the Black mayors resumed having national conventions last year. In those struggling three years, the group expanded its international presence, which may hold the key to its future success. Williams has seen the organization grow from 682 Black mayors in the U.S. to more than 26,0000 worldwide. At least 300 mayors are expected to attend the convention from abroad, most of them from Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, Columbia and throughout the Caribbean.
For the first time in months, Williams, who agreed to work pro bono during the toughest financial stretch, is upbeat and smiling.
"You can't prove the folks who left right," she said. "We're going to fight through this and say, 'With God's help, this, too, shall pass.'"

HILADELPHIA (AP) — The wife of a rogue abortion doctor told a judge Wednesday that her husband deserves his life sentence for killing babies born alive, but complained that she and her children are left to deal with the public scorn.
Pearl Gosnell must spend at least another four months in prison for helping perform illegal, third-trimester abortions at the seedy clinic, including one on a 14-year-old girl who was 31 weeks pregnant. Her husband, Kermit Gosnell, 72, was sentenced this month to life without parole in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation's polarized abortion debate.
"I am the wife of Kermit Gosnell. I'm not happy about that now, and I haven't been for a long time," Pearl Gosnell, 51, said at her sentencing Wednesday, when a judge gave her seven to 23 months in prison, minus nearly three months for time served after her 2011 arrest.
Gosnell lashed out at her husband, saying he refused to take a plea deal that would have spared her prison and saved the family home, and called him cowardly for refusing to speak at his sentencing.
"By choosing to take the cowardly course that he did, my husband has left me to make the apologies," Gosnell told a judge. "My husband is in jail forever, which is where he should be."
A trained cosmetologist, she reaped the financial rewards of her husband's busy abortion and pain clinic, and lied about the $250,000 in cash found stashed in their teen daughter's bedroom, a prosecutor said. She told the FBI it came from rental properties.
"You chose to be his partner in life. And you chose to be his partner in this operation masquerading as a medical facility," Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner said.
Earlier in the day, Lerner freed a former employee who had pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and testified against Gosnell, though she admits killing a baby born alive in a toilet. Adrienne Moton had spent 28 months in prison, but Lerner credited her with both remorse and redemption.
"I don't feel I got arrested. I feel I got rescued," the 36-year-old Moton said in emotionally raw remarks to the judge that mirrored a gospel sermon.
Moton, a friend of Gosnell's daughter, had moved in with the Gosnells as a teen amid family problems. She later went to work in the clinic, moving from the front desk to the procedure room, where she and other unlicensed workers monitored heavily sedated patients as they endured labor and cut the necks of babies born alive.
She did that at least 10 times before she quit the $10 an hour job and entered a welfare-to-work program.
"I wasn't thinking about the fetuses or the babies. I was thinking about those women. I was thinking about those stories," Moton said, describing how she wanted to help the female patients, some of whom she saw beaten or coerced outside the West Philadelphia clinic.
Moton had taken a cellphone picture of an aborted baby that was about 30 weeks old that became a key piece of evidence at Gosnell's trial. The photo was shown repeatedly to jurors.
Lerner called Gosnell a manipulator and "charismatic sociopath," while defense lawyer Stephen Patrizio, who represents former worker Lynda Williams, called him "a depraved, parasitic hustler."
Williams was Exhibit A of the way Gosnell preyed on his workers and patients alike, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said Wednesday.
Williams, 44, was raising four children after she saw her husband murdered in nearby Chester. She had long been bipolar, and had left school after sixth grade to raise her siblings. Yet Gosnell put her in charge of anesthesia, leading to the 2009 death of a new immigrant who died after repeated doses of sedatives and painkillers. Gosnell was also convicted of contributing to the woman's death.
Gosnell played Williams from the start, Patrizio said.
"He gave her something nobody in her life has ever done. He gave her a little bit of self-esteem," the lawyer said.
Pescatore asked for at least 10 years for Williams, who pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in the deaths of both the patient, 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar of Woodbridge, Va., and a baby that moved after being born. But her sentencing was postponed until federal drug charges can be resolved. They stem from Williams' role at Gosnell's front desk, where she allegedly sold painkiller prescriptions for him to addicts and drug dealers.
The scheduled sentencings of two other co-workers — 53-year-old Sherry West and 47-year-old Tina Baldwin — are likewise on hold amid the federal charges. Gosnell is also charged in the federal court case, but plans to plead guilty at a June 6 hearing. Several other co-defendants, including an unlicensed doctor who admits cutting 100 babies for Gosnell, also await sentencing.
Before his capital murder trial got underway in March, Gosnell rejected an offer to serve a life term on both the drug and murder charges. In exchange, his wife would have been spared prison time and avoided the likely forfeiture of their home, where she lives with their 15-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son, who is in college. Gosnell also has four older children from two previous marriages.
"Being the selfish, inconsiderate person that he is ... he decided to go to trial," said defense lawyer Michael Medway, representing Pearl Gosnell. "He left his family essentially hanging out to dry."
What's worse, he said, his client and her children have to live with a name that "will go down in infamy."

Nelson Mandela, in the twilight of life, doesn't talk much anymore, his eldest daughter says. But the former South African president, who wrote of his regret at being unable to devote himself to his family during the fight against apartheid and afterward, reaches out in another way.
"It's the hand that he stretches out. It is the touching of the hand that speaks volumes for me. And for me, if you ask me what I would treasure, it is this moment that I treasure with my father," said Makaziwe Mandela, the oldest of Mandela's three surviving children, all daughters. "It means, 'My child, I'm here.' It means to me that, 'I'm here. I love you. I care.'"
It could be the story of any family, this intimate encounter between an elderly parent beset by illness and a child with whom relations have, over many decades, been challenging or negligible. That the couple's communication has become so elemental also sheds light on the fragile state of a larger-than-life figure, revered for his sacrifice during 27 years as a prisoner of apartheid and his peacemaking role in South Africa's shift to a democracy inclusive of all races.
"My Dad has not been in good, perfect health over the past month. And he has good days and he has bad days," Makaziwe Mandela said earlier this month in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in her home, where a bust of her father, made from bronze and the wood of a railway tie, sits on a piano in the foyer.
One of those bad days was April 29, when state television broadcast footage of a visit by President Jacob Zuma and other leaders of the ruling African National Congress to Mandela, who had helmed the ANC, at his Johannesburg home. Zuma said Mandela was in good shape, but the footage — the first public images of Mandela in nearly a year — showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand.
Makaziwe Mandela said her family is grateful that the "movement," as she refers to the ANC leadership, still visits her father. The broadcasting of the video, however, was unfortunate, she said. Critics allege the ANC was trying to score political points by its association with Mandela. The party fiercely denies it.
"In previous visits, there was no need to take a picture. What happened this time, I don't know," said Makaziwe, a 59-year-old founder of a South African winemaking company that highlights two centuries of the family's distinguished lineage in its branding. She is one of four children from her father's first marriage to Evelyn Mase, which ended in divorce. The other three died — one in infancy, one in a car crash and one from an AIDS-related illness.
Makaziwe said the "dignity and privacy" of her father, also a father to the nation, is sometimes under threat, complaining that 20 journalists one day in May converged on her father's home, where he receives medical treatment, after an ambulance left to fetch medicine from a hospital.
"This is really utter madness," she said. "This thing that everybody has got to be the first one to hear when Nelson Mandela goes, it's not right. All of you will have your opportunity. You will get the news from the presidency at the right time."
During Mandela's recent hospitalization for pneumonia, which ended April 6, Zuma's office issued brief, regular updates on his health. On some past occasions, conflicting reports from the government contributed to mistrust between authorities and the media.
Fascination with Mandela stems from the sense that he is on a par with others whose human shortcomings were overshadowed by their contributions to humanity, including Indian independence hero Mohandas Gandhi and American civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
South Africa has held peaceful elections and is a major economic force in Africa, but struggles with high unemployment, crime and corruption. Nelson Mandela embodies a morality and unity of purpose that makes South Africans nostalgic for an earlier era of promise.
"He has something that people gravitate to, that they can hold to, that gives them hope," said Makaziwe Mandela, comparing him to Mother Teresa. "That's what Nelson Mandela has done, is to give people a better hope that, 'I can be somebody. Life today can be better than yesterday.'"
Makaziwe's home is in a comfortable suburb of Johannesburg that, as she pointed out, was barred to blacks in the apartheid era. Sculptures — a gift from Gabon, presents brought by a son returning from Sweden — lined a mantelpiece in the carpeted living room where she sat for the interview. Her daughter, Tukwini, worked in a nearby room on the "House of Mandela" wine business, which launched this year in the United States.
The Mandela name has lost some shine because of a legal dispute over control of two companies that pits Makaziwe and Zenani Dlamini, a daughter from Mandela's second marriage to Winnie Mandela, against old associates of the Nobel Peace prize laureate, who has withdrawn from public life. The firms, directed by associates who say they were appointed at Mandela's request, hold funds from the sale of handprint artwork by Mandela that is earmarked for eventual distribution to his family.
In the AP interview, Makaziwe Mandela would not discuss the court case.
She talked about the strain and stress of losing her siblings and having a charismatic father whose devotion to justice and equality came at the expense of his children.
"I'm sure now, in his twilight years, that he looks back and says, 'You know, I could have done that differently,'" Makaziwe said. "He has regrets in life, mostly about his family. He was not there as a father. He tried the best way that he could when he came out of jail. But you understand that my father came out of jail and was swallowed up even before he became president. He never really had the time to truly be a father."
In his autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom," Nelson Mandela wrote wistfully of his inability to fulfill his role as a husband to Winnie Mandela during his incarceration, which ended in 1990. The couple divorced in 1996. He is now married to Graca Machel, the former first lady of Mozambique.
"When your life is the struggle, as mine was, there is little room left for family. That has always been my greatest regret, and the most painful aspect of the choice I made," Mandela wrote.
Makaziwe Mandela said she relates to actress Jane Fonda, who wrote in a memoir about her troubled relationship with her father, actor Henry Fonda. "On Golden Pond," the 1981 movie that starred both Fondas, also offered a bittersweet lesson in how a child can reach out to an elderly parent, even one who didn't, or couldn't, do enough.
"It is me who has to make an effort, to bridge the gap," Makaziwe said. "To be there."

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Federal authorities say they've infiltrated an international synthetic drug trafficking ring and made 54 arrests, including eight in western New York.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul says Monday that the group dealt in the stimulant methylone, commonly known as "molly."
The New York arrests were in Rochester. The defendants range in age from 18 to 28 and are charged with conspiracy to import and distribute a controlled substance.
Hochul says the group was supplied by a source in China. Arrests were made in 20 other states as part of an investigation that also yielded more than 70 kilograms of methylone, $50,000 in cash and several guns.
Experts say methylone is an increasingly popular club drug that's similar to ecstacy.

Grapes Galore!
Hollywood, California
We're seeing so many varieties of grapes at the Hollywood farmers' market right now, from Burhart Farms' crisp Autumn Royals to the tiny, intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown by Mill Road Orchard. Whether you're here in Los Angeles or not, check out some of our cooking suggestions and let us know how you're enjoying grapes this season.
Grapes aren't just for snacking! Last week, we baked Goat Cheese and Grape Galettes with rosemary and pine nuts – a great dessert as we make the transition from juicy summer fruits to savory fall flavors. Here are some other recipe ideas from the Kitchn archives:
• Grapes Roasted with Walnut Oil
• Manet's Almond Cake with Grapes and Peaches
• Pie of the Vine
• Quinoa Salad with Grapes
• Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Grapes, Hazelnuts, and Parmesan
• Wine-Marinated Grapes
• For more information on the Hollywood farmers' market and other Los Angeles area markets, visit Farmernet.com

Bam! That's a great shot.
Autumn Royals!! I tried them for the first time last week from the farmers' market up here in Santa Barbara, and they blew my mind with deliciousness.

'The Round House'
Published on Saturday, August 17, 2013 - 9:50am
When Joe Coutts, the 13-year-old American Indian narrator of Louise Erdrich's 2012 novel The Round House, discovers that his mother is missing on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the spring of 1988, he understands the strangeness of the situation, yet he also sees it as a moment that could mean something good and unexpected: "I mean nothing bad, but something. A rare occurrence. A sighting. A bingo win, though Sunday was not a bingo day and it would have been completely out of character for my mother to play. That's what I wanted, though, something out of the ordinary. Only that."
His mother reappears soon after, brutally assaulted, and Joe and his family are left to grapple with the aftermath of a violent event that none of them could have imagined. As Joe does so, conducting his own investigation into the crime, Erdrich's novel explores themes including justice and law, community and culture.
Check out The Round House -- recipient of the National Book Award for Fiction in 2012 -- and come discuss it with the Georgetown Book Club on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Copies are currently available at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library, and everyone is welcome!

EXPAREL is a local analgesic that utilizes bupivacaine in combination with the proven product delivery platform, DepoFoam®. A single intraoperative injection given at the close of surgery delivers postsurgical pain control with reduced opioid requirements† for up to 72 hours,*1 making it a potentially suitable choice for patients who need effective pain management in the first few days after surgery,* when pain is at its worst.2
A non-opioid analgesic should be considered in populations where the use of opioids is most problematic, including:
The safety of EXPAREL has been evaluated in 21 clinical trials which include over 1300 subjects in the safety database. EXPAREL administered locally into the surgical site was evaluated in 10 randomized, double-blind clinical studies involving 823 patients undergoing various surgical procedures. Patients were administered a dose ranging from 66 mg to 532 mg of EXPAREL.1
EXPAREL is indicated for administration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia.1
EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. EXPAREL has not been studied for use in patients younger than 18 years of age.
Non-bupivacaine-based local anesthetics, including lidocaine, may cause an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL if administered together locally. The administration of EXPAREL may follow the administration of lidocaine after a delay of 20 minutes or more. Other formulations of bupivacaine should not be administered within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL.
Monitoring of cardiovascular and neurological status, as well as vital signs should be performed during and after injection of EXPAREL as with other local anesthetic products. Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations.
In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥10%) following EXPAREL administration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting.
For more information regarding EXPAREL, please visit the Pacira press release archives or www.EXPAREL.com.
To report an adverse event, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, dial 1-855-RX-EXPAREL (1-855-793-9727), or fax 1-858-408-3588 or 1-973-201-0649.
For medical inquiries related to EXPAREL, contact Medical Information at email@example.com or 1-855-RX-EXPAREL (1-855-793-9727).
*Pivotal studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of EXPAREL in patients undergoing bunionectomy or hemorrhoidectomy procedures; additional studies are underway to further demonstrate the safety and efficacy in other procedures.
†The clinical benefit of the attendant decrease in opioid consumption was not demonstrated.
‡Clinical experience with EXPAREL has not identified differences in efficacy or safety between elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

Ragtime How gratifying to be exposed to an American musical that is so unrelentingly audacious. Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Houdini and Booker T. Washington are just a few of the celebrated characters who thread their way through this entertaining survey course of pre-World War I America. This musical adaptation of the 1975 novel by E.L. Doctorow about the intrusion of immigrants and blacks upon the complacency of white America at the turn of the twentieth century is too ambitious for most theaters to even attempt. But this combined effort between the Washington University Performing Arts Department and the Black Rep, an alchemy of amateur and professional, makes for potent and thrilling theater. Through November 1 at Washington University's Edison Theatre, 6445 Forsyth Boulevard (in the Mallinckrodt Student Center), University City. Tickets are $20 ($10 for students and seniors). Call 314-935-6543 or visit http://pad.artsci.wustl.edu/node/265.

Sleuth Anthony Shaffer's mystery manhandles the concept of "fair play" in the framework of England's ongoing class war. Andrew Wyke (Munson Hicks) is a wealthy writer of plummy mysteries that celebrate a bygone England. He invites his wife's lover, self-employed travel agent Milo Tindle (Michael Gabriel Goodfriend), to his manor to bring him in on a scheme that will make both men happy — and that's all the plot that can be safely revealed without spoiling Shaffer's twists. Hicks slathers brash and phony bonhomie on Wyke, but playing the role for laughs robs it of menace. Shaffer's script requires that Milo be both gullible and cunning; it's a combination that defies reason but Goodfriend mostly pulls it off. Sleuth is at times frustrating in the forceful manner in which it drags its audience through leaps of logic from point A to point D. Still, that second act is fraught with peril, thanks to director Michael Evan Haney's use of the infrequent pause to build tension. Presented by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis through November 8 at the the Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves. Tickets are $18 to $68 (rush seats available for students and seniors, $10 and $15 respectively, 30 minutes before showtime). Call 314-968-4925 or visit www.repstl.org.

Gold Standard Series
A 50th anniversary screening featuring a new digital restoration of
Breakfast at Tiffany's
With her giant sunglasses, Givenchy dresses, pearls and cigarette holder, Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly set the stage for the glamour of the 1960s and ushered in a new notion of femininity in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." This popular and acclaimed film adaptation of Truman Capote's bestselling novel provoked discussion, laughter and controversy, and established the archetype of the independent single girl in the city.
Because of the restrictions imposed by the Production Code, Holly's career as a call girl remains mysterious in the film, but Blake Edwards's direction and George Axelrod's script retained the essence ("A phony. But a real phony.") of Holly Golightly.
Although Hepburn was not Capote's first pick for the role (his first choice had been Marilyn Monroe), her performance earned her a Best Actress nomination (she lost to Sophia Loren in "Two Women"). Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer won the Academy Award for Best Song for the enchanting "Moon River," and Mancini's moody score, arguably his best, also received an Oscar.
Courtesy of Paramount Pictures. 114 minutes.
Academy Award winner: Music – Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture (Henry Mancini); Music – Song ("Moon River") (Music by Mancini, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer)
Academy Award nominee: Actress (Audrey Hepburn); Color Art Direction (Hal Pereira, Roland Anderson; Set Decoration: Sam Comer, Ray Moyer); Writing – Screenplay based on material from another medium (George Axelrod)

We usually sail on Carnival, but went with Holland American this time because of the itinerary and deal. Brooke, our travel agent, knows exactly what we like and do not like but took a chance on booking us a VH guaranteed room at a great price. A week before the cruse we were assigned a room and it turned out to be a VB room aft. What a great room.
Holland American has a great selection of items that you can pre-purchase. From drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to on board credit, coffee cards, soda cards and even casino chips. This was great in pre cruise preparations. We were able to purchase our soda and coffee cards along with a picture package and not have to worry about having it on our final bill. We didn't use all of our speciality coffee card and the balance was credited to out final bill. this was sooooo nice, The cards wre waiting in our stateroom as soon as we arrived. Amazing!
We traveled the day before the cruise and stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott North. The hotel was easy to find, right off 95 and 15 minutes from the port. We had a vey nice room with a king sized bed. Plenty of restaurants within driving distance and the staff were very helpful in providing directions to the local drug store and grocery store for last minute supplies.
We had breakfast at the Moonlite dinner, just up the road from the hotel and went to the port. Not knowing how long it would take we left about 9:30 and arrived at the Park and Go in fifteen minutes. The Staff at Park and go were extremely helpful and courteous. I reserved the parking on line and received a coupon for $8.99 per night. Out of the car, on their bus and 5 minutes to the ship.
Check in was easy because we were one of the first people their. They began boarding and we were in our room at 11:30am. No kidding, the room was available at 11:30, it was great.
Being used to Carnival, I was in awe of the Westerdam. It was beautiful and elegant. Everyone was friendly with a hello or good morning and they were all eager to help. My fellow Cruise Critics were helpful when they said that it would not be stuffy. It wasn't.
Lido resturant was excellant, like a fine dinning area. The first 48 hours the staff will serve you. this is to help cut down on cases of Norovirus. I understand and completely agree. It only slows down the service a little. You get your food and grab a seat, the waiters come by and will bring water, coffee, tea, iced tea. Another waitress will come by to see if you want someting from the bar, soda or other selections. Tables are always kept clean. It was excellant.
Christmas Eve dinner was formal and was great. All the dinners were great. Smart casual was the dress, polo shirt and pants. Formal was suit and tie. For the people who didn't want to dress up the Lido restaurant was great and nicely made up. Not like what you would see on Carnival.
Holland American does "On Deck for the Cure". A 5k walk to support brest cance research. A good crowd took time out of thier day and did the walk, it was great.
There were also religious services almost daily. We had midnight mass on Christmas Eve and a Christmas Day mass. It was really a nice way to help celebrate the holiday.
All I can say is Amazing!!!. The ship, the crew, the atmosphere everything AMAZING!
Even departure, We filled out our intentions the first few days onboard and received out directions the night before. You are assigned a 15 minute window and a colored tag. It made it go so smooth. We were assigned 8:30 -- 8:45, got down to the gangway at 8:30, the Park and Go bus was there as soon as we stepped out of the terminal and we were on I595 going home by 9:00.
Amazing cruise!

How would Pitch Perfect have gone down if everyone in the a cappella group except for Anna Kendrick was replaced with real-life K-Pop group F(x)? Wonder no more: This new Funny or Die video tells us exactly how! Will Kendrick the actress prevail like her character in Pitch Perfect when forced to join an already established South Korean girl group? Probably, since videos like this make fun of the wooden storytelling structure apparent in most major Hollywood films today - but it's ironic, so it's OK!
You can check out the video above. Has America found a new BFF in Kendrick? Quick, Jennifer Lawrence, go do something clumsy and quirky!

As the Ravens spent their week preparing for another vital showdown against the arch-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the words and images from Owings Mills could have come from any recent season.
There was linebacker Terrell Suggs, showing off his tattooed arms in defiance of the 40-degree chill as he mused over the infinite "alley fight" between Ravens and Steelers. There was running back Ray Rice, speaking through his gentle grin of how it's time to don "big boy pants" for the tough games ahead.
With a 7-2 record in an AFC devoid of quality depth, the Ravens are in excellent position to claim a fifth consecutive playoff berth and to compete for home-field advantage in the second round. It could all seem rather ho-hum for a team and fan base accustomed to perennial playoff runs.
But the record masks an array of problems that have left some analysts and fans wondering if the Ravens are as serious a Super Bowl contender as in 2011, when they went to the conference championship game.
"Are they a top-10 team in the league?" said Aaron Schatz, founder of the statistically-minded web site Football Outsiders. "I and a lot of other people would probably say yes. Are they Top five? I don't think so."
The team's defense, long its bedrock, has struggled to stuff the run, to pressure opposing passers and to cover top receivers. With injuries depriving the Ravens of key players such as Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis and hobbling others such as Haloti Ngata, it's not clear if a resurgence is possible.
Inconsistency has plagued the offense, which cuts through opponents for strings of touchdowns in some halves and struggles to make a first down in others.
Grueling stretch of games
With Sunday night's nationally televised game at Pittsburgh, the Ravens will leave behind a relatively easy schedule and enter a six-week stretch that includes two games against the Steelers, a cross-country trip to San Diego and home games against the defending champion New York Giants and the surging Denver Broncos.
Though the gauntlet might be eased by a shoulder injury to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, it will likely determine the course of the Ravens' 2012 season. Will they scrape into the playoffs as a wild card and face a daunting path of road games? Or will they shore up their defense and start the postseason at home, where they have remained nearly invulnerable?
Quarterback Joe Flacco said the team always tries to keep a one-game focus, "but there is probably a little sense that the next few weeks are going to kind of determine a good amount of how the season goes."
Flacco and fellow team leaders say they like the Ravens' position, and they're not alone.
NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth, who will call the Sunday night game in Pittsburgh, praised the Ravens for remaining a contender despite key injuries.
"Welcome to the NFL," he said when asked about the team's inconsistency. "I think what's been pretty impressive is that they're winning while in transition. There's no doubt they're a team in transition, having to come up with new looks without some star players in there. But they're doing pretty well."
Collinsworth said the Ravens' offense, despite its struggles against seemingly overmatched opponents such as the Kansas City Chiefs, strikes him as a more diverse and potent unit than in 2011.
"Could they go out and beat a lot of teams just by handing the ball to Ray Rice? Yeah, probably," he said. "But they're getting the ball to their tight ends and getting it downfield to Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith, whom I've always loved. So they're putting a little different window dressing on it."
The consensus of media power rankings has the Ravens somewhere between the fifth- and eighth-best team in the league. Schatz has them eighth but clearly behind fellow AFC contenders Denver, New England and Houston.
He said that's actually a little better than he predicted in the preseason, when he was troubled by the Achilles injury to Suggs and by the team's unsettled offensive line. The Ravens make the playoffs in 97 percent of Schatz's simulations of the rest of the season and win their division about 2/3 of the time.
Finding new ways to win
What's interesting, he said, is that they've reached this point completely differently than he would have expected.

Continuing our discussion of the latest in document scanning technology, today we will focus specifically on the CS 1100 large format scanner. The CS1100 allows you to select from 200 dpi to 800 dpi interpolated resolution to suit the complexity of your drawing and your scanning application. In addition to monochrome drawings, the CS1100 scanner also supports 256-level grayscale and 256-color data input for sharp, clear scanning of even the most detailed images.
The CS1100 large format scanner accurately scans drawings for GIS, mapping, CAD, and document archiving as well as civil engineering applications. Detailed road maps and contour maps including extra-long documents are scanned at an accuracy of ±0.1% ±5 pixels.
A new high-pressure hold down unit is now available with the CS1100 scanner for enhanced scanning accuracy and image quality when scanning old (deteriorated) documents with creases. Check out the CS1100 Series accessories/supplies section for more details!
Use Graphtec's Scanning Master Copy Color software to reproduce high-quality drawings that are faithful to the original. This software also enables you to connect the CS1100 Series Scanner to your favorite printer or plotter to create a large format color copier.
The CS1100 large format scanner now ships with user-friendly automatic calibration software.
With conventional color scanners, 24-bit full color data is scanned in and used as-is, resulting in large files containing more data than necessary. The color depth reduction function included in the CS1100 Series helps to eliminate this problem by reducing the wide 24-bit color spectrum with its 16.7 million colors to the 256 colors of the more practical 8-bit color spectrum, making the data much more manageable and shortening the overall processing time. You can select Standard or Optimized when creating the initial settings. You can also change the colors after the data has been scanned in using Graphtec's high-performance scanner driver (Scanning Master 21+) which comes standard with the CS1100 large format scanners and helps to facilitate scanner setup and control.
OSAM provides single source access to the hardware, supplies and services for all of your document management needs. OSAM has what you need to get the job done.

5. Troubleshooting Video Interfaces
In the event of an absent screen image, it is more likely that the monitor is at fault than the video interface. If after substitution, the monitor proves to be operational, suspicion falls on the interface and its associated cables.
Checking that the video card is fully seated in its connector and that the motherboard is designed to accommodate the card, is a useful first step in diagnosing a video communication problem. Reseating the card often cures the fault.
An intermittent assortment of unusual characters in vivid colours is a classic sign of electronic problems with the video card. Replacement of the card is the only solution. With the increasing complexity of these cards and the use of ever larger amounts of high speed video RAM, their ability to dissipate large quantities of heat is crucial to long term reliability. To facilitate this, fans and ductings are increasingly used. If these become encrusted with dust or the fan stops working, the electronics will rapidly fail.
Due to the several different interface ports in current use such as the analogue VGA and the digital DVI and HDMI, the interface may be incompatible with the monitor. In the case of dual head interfaces, where there are two or more output ports, the signal could be directed to the wrong connector. The interface driver software can correct this. Where the monitor has several ports, it may be expecting signals from an unused connector. The monitor's setup will redirect the signal appropriately. If the driver software has not been installed, the interface is likely to operate only in VGA mode. Installing the software, together with any updates, will make available the full range of modes of the interface.

The Trial
I was browsing through my bookshelves the other day when I came across Franz Kafka's Diaries. As I flipped through them I recalled reading his book, The Trial, in my university years. Kafka wrote this book in 1915 although it wasn't published until 1925, two years after he died of tuberculosis. The Trail begins when a bank official, Joseph K, is arrested by two agents from an unknown agency. He is subjected to a tribunal in a neighbour's house about a crime he never committed then is let free to wait for a summons from the nebulous Committee of Affairs. He receives the summons, goes to a court room in the attic of a large tenement building, but can't discover anything about his crime or who is in charge of the Committee of Affairs. He consults a lawyer and discovers that he is being accused by a multi-layered, anonymous bureaucracy in which guilt is always assumed by unidentified judges. After several months, two men come to his apartment and take him to a quarry where they stab him in the heart with a butcher's knife. Joseph K's last words are, "Like a dog."
This story had quite an impact on me at the time and for some reason still reminds me of Edward Munch's painting, The Scream. It also reminds me of something Malcolm Muggeridge wrote about when he was in Moscow in 1930. Evidently Ralph Barnes, an American reporter, managed to get an interview with someone high in ranks of the OGPU (a Russian secret police organization). Barnes asked the OPGU official why innocent people were arrested in the USSR. The official was overcome with laughter. "Of course we arrest innocent people, he said at last in effect; otherwise no one would be frightened. If people were only arrested for specific misdemeanours, all the others feel safe, and so are ripe for treason." Muggeridge goes on: "Probably without meaning to he (the official) expounded the central doctrine of every terror, as well as all dictatorial government, so brilliantly exemplified by Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, and more imaginatively, in Kafka's The Trial.
Kafka wasn't around in 1930, but he did live in Prague, part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire at the time, which was itself a gigantic bureaucratic merry-go- round that collapsed during World War I. So, he intuited what was going to happen in the future. Now nearly a century old The Trial remains relevant. If you read it governments in the Middle East as well as parts of Latin America and Asia may soon come to mind.

Task Force names Stacey Long and Sarah Reece to key positions
Pedro Julio Serrano
Communications Manager
(Office) 646.358.1479
(Cell) 787.602.5954
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has named Stacey Long as director of the Public Policy & Government Affairs department and Sarah Reece as director of the Academy for Leadership and Action.
"Both of these dynamic women bring significant expertise, energy and vision to the leadership team at the Task Force," says Darlene Nipper, deputy executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "With Sarah's experience working in the south and Stacey's background working with marginalized communities, we look forward to their unique contributions to the Task Force's mission and the LGBT movement."
Stacey Long comes to lead the Task Force's Public Policy & Government Affairs department after two years as the organization's federal legislative director and chief lobbyist. Her work is dedicated to advancing LGBT equality through a progressive social change agenda that includes among other things ending discrimination in employment, housing, health care, education as well as securing protections from violence and hatred. Long is a well regarded lawyer and received a bachelor's degree in Africana Studies from Vassar College; a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School; and a Nonprofit Management Executive certificate from the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute.
"At the Task Force, we are building LGBT political power at the federal, state and local level to fight inequality, win legal protections and achieve safety and economic security for LGBT people and families," says Stacey Long, director of the Public Policy and Government Affairs department at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "I have spent most of my professional career in the nonprofit and public sector — fighting for those who have been marginalized in some way. Given what we know about the legal, economic and social disenfranchisement of LGBT people, this continues to be important. I know that we have to work in tandem with the people whose lives are most impacted by policies that negatively affect them. As director, I will take responsibility for creating space at the table for voices that are too-often ignored, rendered to more quiet spaces or outright excluded."
The Public Policy & Government Affairs policy priorities under Long's leadership include our "Count me in" campaign calling for LGBT data collection in federal government surveys; our administrative advocacy to implement LGBT-friendly policies across federal agencies; our work for the passage of federal employment legislation that is gender-identity inclusive; and our demand for policies that increase economic security for LGBT people across the life-span.
One of the key priorities at the beginning of the next year will be the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change's first-ever federal lobby day. Learn more here.
Sarah Reece is now director of the Task Force's Academy for Leadership and Action after a decade at the Task Force teaching, training and speaking to people about tested campaign strategies and organizing models gained from her nearly 20 years of work in the trenches of LGBT and progressive candidate and issue campaigns.
"It is because of the lessons learned at home, as well as mentors and organizations, including the Task Force, who invested in my development as a leader and manager that I have the humbling opportunity to serve the Task Force as the director of the Academy for Leadership and Action at such an important time in the LGBT and progressive movements," says Sarah Reece, director of the Task Force's Academy for Leadership and Action. "It is that very investment in long term leadership development that is the bedrock of our movement's ability to meet the heavy demands in the months and years to come. I can think of no other organization that is better suited and no other team that is more uniquely qualified to provide the intentional support to cultivate values-based leadership to wage winning campaigns, build capacity and infrastructure. The Task Force shares a worldview that prioritizes working in collaboration and at the intersections of economic justice, marginalized populations and building political power from the ground up."
Reece's two biggest leadership roles in the LGBT movement were being the campaign manager for the 2004 Kentucky "NO on the Amendment" campaign and as the statewide field director for the 2008 California "NO on Proposition 8" campaign. Under her leadership those efforts collectively raised over $2 million, mobilized over 50,000 volunteers and identified nearly 200,000 pro-LGBT voters.
Prior to joining the Task Force in 2002, Reece was the district scheduler for U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.), the legislative assistant to Louisville, KY., Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh and a program manager for the political consulting firm, The Clinton Group.
