About this Artist
Shawn Messenger
"I create my work with attention to detail, expression, and a little mystery so as to draw the viewer into my world. I would describe my work as impressionistic, inspired by flowers and gardens. I use a three-dimensional canvas of glass to produce landscapes with painterly effects. "
Glass artist Shawn Messenger describes her work as "gardens of glass, where you do not have to weed or water, and everything grows perfectly. If you get tired of the view, just turn the piece to find something new!" Messenger creates her pieces in her urban studio, but her inspiration comes from the flower and vegetable gardens at her home. The details and colors of flowers have always intrigued her, along with the amazement of watching something grow.
Messenger starts her work by creating colorful glass cane with an interior shaped like a flower. The cane is then sliced into small cross sections known as murrini. The murrini are arranged into floral compositions, heated, and then picked up with the blow pipe on a background of layered glass powders and chips. After the murrini are fused to the surface, a layer of clear glass is added and the piece is blown into its final shape.
Shawn Messenger graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a BFA in glass. She was among the first wave of women to receive a degree in glass from the Institute. Messenger attended the Pilchuck Glass School and studied with Dale Chihuly and Italo Scanga. She also attended Penland School of Crafts, studying with Richard and Jan Ritter and Dinah Hulet, concentrating on murrini.

Primary Examiner-Howard W. Britton Attorney, Agent, or Firm-C. E. Graves [5 7] ABSTRACT Signals having the format standards of the PICTURE- PHONE video telephone (PVT) system are converted to a signal having the format standards of commercial television (CTV). Achieving the foregoing is a scan converter which includes two shift registers in which successive lines are alternately stored at the line rate of the PVT system. As one register is filled, samples from the preceding PVT line are read out at a substantially faster rate. The registers are then switched as to function. A signal format is generated to cause the CTV receiver to operate in a noninterlace mode to produce a resulting CTV line raster that is in effect exactly equal to the number of lines in a PVT frame.

A REGISTER CLOCK INPUT B REGISTER CLOCK INPUT TV VIDEO OUT VIDEO FORMAT CONVERTER FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to video systems and in particular involves a scan conversion process and apparatus.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The commercial television picture scannning standards prevailing in the United States and elsewhere differ from those established for the Bell System PlC- TUREPHONE video telephone network in the United States. A comparison of the two standards is best afforded by reference to Table I and II below.
TABLE I PlC'l'UREPHONE Video Telephone Signal Standard Line scan rate 15.734 kHz Aspect ratio 4/3 Video bandwidth 45 MHz The technical reasons which governed selectionof the PlCTUREPl-IONE standards are documented in the Bell System Technical Journal, Volume 50, Number 2, at pages 235-269. The entire cited issue of this issue of the Journal is devoted to the PICTUREPHONE system, and is hereby incorporated by reference into this patent application.
The incompatibility of the two systems can be overcome by a scan converter that accepts PICTURE- PHONE video telephone format signals as input and produces commercial television-compatible signals as output. Converters offered to date, however, have been complex and costly. As a result, the prospects for interfacing of these two important communications systems have been uncertain.
Accordingly, the following are objects of the invention:
to convert in near real-time a signal having the format standards of PICTUREPHONE video telephony to' a signal having the format standards of commercial television, and vice-versa; to render the differing line scan rates used in the commercial TV raster compatible with PICTURE- PHONE line scan rates, and vice-versa;
to achieve the foregoing objects without sacrificing PICTUREPHONE 2:1 interlace; and
to achieve all of the foregoing objects inexpensively.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is one major aspect lies in the recognition that the horizontal scan rates of PlCTUREPI-IONE video telephony (hereinafter called PVT) and commercial television (hereinafter called CTV) differ by a factor close to 2; and the number of lines per'PVT frame are very nearly equal to the number of lines per CTV field.
Proceeding from this realization, the scan converter of the present invention consists of two shift registers in which successive lines of PVT are alternately stored, first for field A and then for field B. The PVT line is sampled at a rate of 2.0 MHz, for example. While one register is being filled with samples from a given line, the samples from the preceding line are read out of the other register at, for example, a 5.0 MHz rate. The two registers are then switched as to function. As the successive PFT fields A and B are received, the lines of each are continuously so processed.
Pursuant to the invention, the CTV receiver is caused to operate in a noninterlaced mode by virtue of the video synchronizing format presented to it. Pursuant to this aspect of the invention, the local horizontal oscillator of the CTV is forced to operate at a rate that will generate 534 scan lines per frame, instead of the standard 525 lines. The 534 lines correspond to a line scan rate of l6.0 kHZ rather than the standard 15.734 kHz.
Because the 534 lines per frame are an even number,
the two fields A and B which comprise the CTV frame will be projected not as interlaced fields, but actually atop one another. The resulting line raster is thus in effect one-half of the 534 lines, or 267 lines. It is seen that this number exactly equals the number of lines in a PVT frame.
Put in other words, the 267 lines that make up CTV field A may be considered to be the odd lines of a 534 line frame if interlace were occurring; and the 267 lines of CTV field B would be the even lines. With superposition of field B lines atop the field A lines, the frame consists of just 267 lines. The 133% odd-numbered lines of this frame will receive the 133% lines of PVT field A; and the 133% even-numbered lines will receive the l33 /'lines of PVT field B. The alternate lines not receiving PVT information may be blanked.
In the inventive process, once a register contains a complete line in storage, clock pulses are initiated to cause that register to read out at the 5.0 MHz rate. Thus, the first line of PVT field A is forwarded to the CTV and displayed on the first line of the 267-line field A raster. The next line, line 2, of field A of the CTV raster is in one case blanked. Each successive line of PVT field A is stored and then read out in sequence into the odd-numbered lines of the CTV 267 line raster while the even-number lines are blanked. When all 133% lines of the PVT field'A are thus processed, the line information from PVT field B is received, stored and read out in the same fashion by the two shift registers. Now, however, the even-numbered lines of the PVT frame, namely the lines which make up frame B, are read out in sequence into the even-numbered lines of the 267-line CTV raster.
Thus, two successive fields of the modified CTV raster display show the information from PVT frames A and B displaced by one line. This is, of course, the equivalent of the 2:1 interlaced raster of the standard PVT frame.
In a preferred embodiment, the shift registers of the scan converter are constructed of charge-coupled devices which have the inherent capability of analog sample storage that make them uniquely suitable in the practice of the invention.
Pursuant to another aspect of the invention, the output video of the scan converter is further adjsuted by proper shift rate selection and selective blanking so as to create on the TV display an image having the PIC- TUREPHONE aspect ratio of l 1110 rather than the aspect ratio 4:3 characteristic of CTV sets.
The output video of the converter may be fed either to the TV receiver set video amplifier directly, rin an embodiment simpler from the user's standpointto the receiver sets antenna input terminal. The latter arrangement requires the generation of a modulated r-f video signal within the converter with a carrier whose frequency is advantageously adjusted to an idle receiver set channel.
The invention and its further objects, features, and advantages will be readily understood in its breadth as well as detail from a reading of the description to follow of an illustrative embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENT The first illustrative embodiment is one in which a PVT signal format is converted for display on a CVT monitor or receiver.
The steps to realize conversion of the PVT signal to CTV compatible format are: (a) analog processing of the received PVT; (b) successive sampling and shift register storage of the two PVT fields A and B for each PVT frame; (c) logical control of phasing and clocking for shift register operation and CTV line rate control; and (d) if necessary, modulation of the resulting TV format to an available channel for display on commercial receivers.
FIG. 1 shows a video telephone pair 10 which contains a PVT signal with the format shown in Table I. A switch 11 may be supplied to direct the incoming signal via pair 12 to a PVT receiver station 13; and/or to a format converter 14. The latter generates a baseband CTV format signal in a manner to be described, that may be coupled directly to a closed cicuit monitor a, or via a modulator 14a to a CTV set 15b. In considering the function of the format converter 14 shortly to be described, it will be desirable to occasionally refer to FIG. 2 which depicts the standard timing signals for PVT.
As seen in FIG. 3, analog processing involves the feeding of incoming signal via pair 10 to the balanced to unbalanced converter 16, automatic gain amplifier 17, and PVT deemphasis filter 18. Further description of elements 16-18 may be found in the abovecited BSTJ issue at pages 289-292. The output of filter 18 is a video signal that is single-ended and dc restored. The output of filter 18 is connected to frequency shaper 19 which may, for example, have the frequency response characteristic shown in FIG. 4. Also, the output of filter 18 is supplied to sync stripper 20 which recovers the horizontal and vertical sync signals.
Sampling and storage of the frequency-shaped video signal is under the control of the master logic unit 21 which receives as inputs the vertical sync signal and the output of a phase-locked loop 22. The latter generates the timing pulses for synchronous sampling, by generating high-frequency shift signals that are exact multiples of the PVT horizontal frequency. Loop 22 consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) 23 which is in effect an output clock. The horizontal sync pulse from stripper 20 is fed to phase detector 24. The output of phase detector 24 controls the VCO 23. A feedback loop between VCO 23 and detector 24 includes a divider 25.
In the sampling process shortly to be described, resolution will be maintained if the 1 MHz PVT signal from shaper 19 is sampled at a rate f, 2 MHz. This sampling rate then determines the number of storage elements required in the two storage registers 26 and 27. As will be demonstrated shortly, this number, n, will advantageously be equal to 210 samples per line for the approximately lO5-microsecond PVT line.
The rate, designated f, at which the 2l0 samples are read from storage in registers 26 and 27, is determined by a consideration of the 4:3 commercial TV aspect ratio and the 1 1:10 PVT aspect ratio, as well as the active line scan times of the PVT and CTV systems. From this it follows that the ratio f /f, 2.5, provides very nearly the proper 1 1:10 aspect ratio for display of PVT format on commercial TV receiver sets.
At page 469 in the earlier-cited BSTJ issue, it is pointed out that it is desirable to synchronously sample a PVT video signal in order to minimize edge busyness. The term synchronous sampling here means that the samples are taken from the same places in time, from line to line and from frame to frame. To achieve such synchronous sampling, f, and f should be locked to the horizontal PVT line rate. The latter is achieved in the phase-locked loop 22 by setting VCO 23 at a frequency fvco 5 fx; and then in master logic unit 21, obtaining f andf by frequency division of 2 and 5 respectively in dividers 32 and 31.
The horizontal sync signal arrives at phase detector 24 at an 8 kHz rate where it is compared with an 8 kHz signal counted down from the VCO 23. A locked 16 kHz output obtained from divider 25 is required to supply CTV video format. It can be seen that fVc0/8 kHz integer (n) It may be shown that the number by which divider 25 divides the VCO 23 output signal in the feedback loop is equal to or less than 1250. If n equals I250, then the following obtains:
fvco l0 MHZ j} 2 MHz f 5 MHz From the foregoing it follows that the number of storage elements required is about 210 elements.
Alternatively, the clock frequenciesf, and f may be derived in a manner different from the phase locked loop 22 used in the illustration. A second scheme may be used in which phase locked loop 22 is replaced by two free-running clocks operating at nominally 2 MHz and 5 M Hz. These clocks are reset once per horizontal line for input and output clocking respectively. Synchronization is accomplished only once per horizontal line. This free-running cloking means, while not as precise as the previous example, is accomplished with far fewer components.
Shift registers 26 and 27 are under control of master logic unit 21 which is depicted in FlGS. 5 and 6. As seen in FIG. 5, the logic unit 21 consists of synchronous gate 30 to which the vertical sync signal from stripper 20 is supplied, along with the 16 kHz from loop 22. The output of gate 30 is a composite sync signal that is directed to video compositor 34 where it is composited with the video output from 29 in conventional fashion. The composite sync signal is of a form described on page 68, Basic Television, by Bernard Brob, 1954, with the horizontal output rate equal in this case to twice the incoming PVT rate.
The frequenciesf and f, are directed to clock gating unit 33, where timing pulses denoted register A clock and register B clock" are generated. A full description of the timing and duration of these pulses will be aided by reference to FIG. 6. As shown, each line of the input PVT signal is sampled by register A or B alternately. The register not being filled is read out at CTV rate as shown in the bottom line of FIG. 6.
The master logic unit also generates control signals for controlling input switch 28 to direct the successive incoming PVT lines alternately to registers 26 and 27 and for controlling output switch 29 for alternately connecting registers 26 and 27 to a monitor such as monitor a. The timing of the control signals for switches 28 and 29 are also depicted in FIG. 6.
The invention has so far been described in terms of analog storage in registers 26 and 27. For this purpose, so-called charge-coupled devices are well suited as the shift register store because of their analog storage ability, ease of clocking, small size, and ultimate lower cost. Charge-transfer devices of which charge-coupled devices and so-called bucket brigade devices are species, are fully described'in The Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. Sl, No. 3, March i972, pages 655-703, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Of course, digital storage is also possible using, for example, an A-to-D converter, a digital storage register and a D-to-A converter to emulate the function of a purely analog register (none shown).

text: We've asked about it at a sportsman's show in Denver at the DOW booth and even they didn't have an answer about it. The DOW officer there mentioned a lifetime habitat stamp but he wasn't aware of a lifetime hunting license as some other states have. I have however, seen it mentioned somewhere in print but can't remember where.

The Alcatel-Lucent 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) portfolio is a suite
of powerful core routing platforms that deliver class-leading scale, efficiency
and versatility without compromising flexibility. The portfolio revolutionizes
the economics of delivering the Internet by offering up to 5 times the density
of existing alternatives while consuming only one-third the electricity. With
support for up to 80 100GE and/or 800 10GE ports in a single 19-inch rack, the
7950 XRS shatters current density norms and paves the way for scaling the cloud
Network infrastructures must expand their network infrastructure in response
to the growing demand for bandwidth driven by video, cloud-based applications
and immersive multimedia delivered across an array of devices. They face
multiple challenges as they strive to expand these networks efficiently and
cost effectively. Expansion requires more space and power — precious assets
that are costly when wasted. And yet, core network approaches that sacrifice
functionality and capability in an attempt to optimize density and power
consumption drastically limit the flexibility of the infrastructure. This
becomes even more challenging as data centers and content distribution
proliferate, adding even greater networking demands on the metro core and IP
Achieve operational cost savings
An efficient infrastructure contributes to increased profitability, so
controlling key operational expenses such as power and space is critical. The
7950 XRS leverages breakthrough silicon innovation and superior system design
to deliver scalable core routing and switching capacity in a cost-efficient
resource footprint.
Eliminate compromise and get the most from your infrastructure
The 7950 XRS core router offers compelling economics across the range of IP
routing, MPLS LSR switching, and infrastructure service functionality. Rather
than reduce the scope of capabilities to gain scale in the core, the 7950 XRS
combines maximum scale with full flexibility. Service providers can enable
capabilities as required through a flexible software licensing model. Deploying
a single platform to meet the needs of Internet transport, peering, metro core
and data center interconnection applications eliminates the cost and
operational complexity that result from the deployment of single-purpose
devices. As well, a single flexible platform makes it easier to access
capabilities beyond traditional Internet core router functionality, which is
even more important as fresh applications are unlocked in the cloud and new
requirements emerge for the metro core.
Be ready for the future
The 7950 XRS has been designed to anticipate the needs of the evolving core
network. It provides unprecedented scale for 100GE ports, which are rapidly
becoming the new currency of the IP transport network. By leveraging FP3
silicon innovation, the 7950 XRS is also ready for 400GE interfaces as soon as
they emerge, and designed to accommodate terabit interfaces in the future.
Rely on proven innovation
The 7950 XRS is built on the robust Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Operating
System (SR OS), which has nearly a decade of proven reliability and a track
record of performance in the IP networks of more than 700 service providers
worldwide. It leverages three successive generations of groundbreaking NPU
silicon innovation and is based on the industry's first 400G chipset (FP3).
With its underlying hardware foundation, operating system, and network
management tools widely operationalized, the 7950 XRS dramatically lowers
operational complexity and deployment risks while providing an immediate boost
to the IP core. Since its launch in May 2012, the 7950 XRS has been tested,
selected and deployed by leading operators in every major region of the world
for a wide variety of networking applications.
One platform to address all core needs
The 7950 XRS performs the full range of core routing, Internet peering, MPLS
LSR switching, data center interconnection and infrastructure services
(VLLs/VPNs) within a single scalable platform to maximize efficiency in power
and footprint. Unlike other approaches that strip functionality in order to
enhance scale or power efficiency, Alcatel-Lucent leverages the strength of
silicon innovation and a proven feature-rich operating system to deliver
outstanding scale and efficiency without compromising versatility. Network
operators will have the freedom to route (IP Provider Core/Edge-routing) or
switch (MPLS LSR/LER) cost effectively as their architectural plans warrant.
And they preserve the flexibility to handle L2/L3 infrastructure services with
VLL/VPN feature capabilities as the needs within their growing metro and
Internet cores demand.
FP3 400G network processor
Silicon innovation is a critical element of achieving superior scale and
power efficiency. As leaders in groundbreaking programmable processors,
Alcatel-Lucent was first in the industry to develop and deliver a 400G network
processor chipset. The FP3 chipset is at the heart of the 7950 XRS family of
core routers and powers the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router family of
multiservice edge routers and the 7450 Ethernet Service Switch family.
Leveraging this innovation, the 7950 XRS offers unmatched density for 100GE
interfaces, fast becoming the currency of the core, as well as 10GE and 40GE
interfaces, which have been the norm to date.
The 7950 XRS supports up to 160 100GE or 1600 10GE interfaces in a dual rack
32 Tb/s routing system, or up to 80 100GE ports in a single standard telco
rack, with future options for multi-chassis expansion. The FP3 provides the
7950 XRS with the ideal processing power to support high density 10GE, 40GE,
100GE, and future 400GE interfaces without wasting slot capacity. In contrast,
current core routers have slots that cannot maximize the density of key
Ethernet interfaces and instead leave slot capacity wasted. A clear path to
400GE using existing silicon assures the longevity of the 7950 XRS platform,
which is designed to grow in place within their networks for the next
Common network management toolset
The 7950 XRS family is managed by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware
Manager (SAM) for reliable, simplified and integrated operations across both
network and service management domains. The 5620 SAM is designed to manage
multilayer IP routing, optical transport, and infrastructure services with
end-to-end service-level visibility into the network as needed across the range
of IP/MPLS core routing, MPLS switching, and infrastructure service
deployments. The Alcatel-Lucent management offering includes powerful tools
such as the 5650 Control Plane Assurance Manager (CPAM), which works in
conjunction with the 5620 SAM to provide control plane visibility and scenario
planning and to simplify network operations. Further, as operators move to
streamline operations between the IP and optical transport domains of their
network, the 5620 SAM provides common management of the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS
family of integrated DWDM. This adds a level of cross-layer visibility that
will prove highly beneficial to optimizing overall network turn-up,
troubleshooting and operations.

Jim Eagle has a good thoughtful piece in the Herald on the RMA and those people that 'come to the nuisance' and then complain about the neighbour they knew about when they moved in. As Jim says, "It's an attitude that I have great difficulty understanding." Me too, as I've said here a few times before, most recently here.
He's also got a few thoughts on the consultation requirements of the RMA. Consultation, he says, "is all too often a chance for the local busybody, the neighbourhood curmudgeon and the nimby brigade to force the rest of the world to conform to their selfish viewpoints. Do we really want these people running our communities?"
Jim's opinion piece is here. As I've said before, common law offers the best chance to depoliticise the busybodies.

Salisbury golfer holds on to win state tournament
Published: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
BUIES CREEK -- Salisbury's Roy Dixon, the first-round leader, held on Tuesday to take top individual honors by two strokes over Maiden's Thomas Lilly in the 25th annual North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 2-A men's golf championships at the Keith Hills Country Club.
Dixon, who was 13th in the individual standings in last year's 2-A state tournament, had a 74 on the final day to go with his 71 on Monday for a 145 total on the par-72, 6,500-yard layout.
Miller Capps of North Lincoln, who was third in the individual standings, led his team to its second consecutive state crown as North came from eight shots off the pace on the final day.
North Henderson, which was in fourth place in the team standings with a 320 on Monday, had a 345 in Tuesday's final round to finish in ninth place.
Bryce Caldwell was low man again with an 81. Other scores were Ben Justus with 85, Michael Dunn at 88, Ryan Pennell with 91, Hunter Donaldson with 98 and Dylan Tuttle with 106.
"We had a rough day out there," North coach Skip Taylor said. "But it was great that the team got this far, and we are proud of them. We had a lot of help during the tournament, too. Wade King helped us out this week, and Dave Pennell and the rest of the parents on the golf team helped us out tremendously. I want to thank all of those people for everything."

Rachel Mortenson's Awesome Lingerie Pictures For The Weekend
Here's Rachel Mortenson back with another killer lingerie shoot for Frederick's of Hollywood, and it reminded me that it's been a while since we've gotten any new hotness from my busty dream girl. But maybe that's not such a bad thing after all. Because I don't know about you guys, but my pants region is probably going to need a few months to recover after a set of lingerie pictures this hot. Yow!

We don't normally link to team fan message board posts here at Extra Points, but then again you don't normally find good breakdown like this on team fan message boards. I was going through the referral logs this morning and found this Chicago Bears board had linked to Mike's Every Play Counts about Brian Urlacher. Near the top of their board today is this analysis of Kyle Orton's five interceptions against Cincinnati. The verdict seems to be one bad decision, one bad mechanics, one caused by Justin Gage, and two that were a mix of bad offense and good defense.

TMQ is down on Brett Favre. He also proposes a radical change to the salary cap, discovers paper food, and asks why on earth any broadcaster would refer to Cadillac Williams as "overrated." He's really got a point on that one.
And please, please, please, don't make this the "rip on TMQ" thread. If you don't like the column, don't you have anything better to do with your life than post here every week about how you don't like the column?

There's nothing wrong with rooting for your fantasy players along with your favorite team. But Peter Schrager is a little annoyed by people who root only for their fantasy team, especially because there are lots of people playing fantasy football now who don't really know anything about football otherwise. Are they ruining your trip to the sports bar too? And who is this Brian Leftwich guy?

The first 12 comments here came when Ryan posted earlier in the day that Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler were out for an unspecified amount of time. According to the AP, that amount of time is now "all year" for Pennington and "six weeks" for Fiedler. Is Vinny Testaverde already waiting by his phone? Did the entire AFC East break a mirror and run over a black cat yesterday? And how good do people who bet the over on the Miami Dolphins feel right now?

Jay Glazer looks at the top coaching candidates as the rumor mill (Tice) gets spinning (Tice) extra early this year (Tice). Our man Jim Schwartz is here. (When you read "Schwartz has worked with statistical analysts to study down-and-distance decisions," or some such thing, that's a reference to FO.) So is Pittsburgh O-Line coach Russ Grimm, who was also mentioned as a possible head coaching candidate in the Steelers chapter of PFP 2005.

Abril trial postponed until Nov. 17
Published: Sunday, November 9, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 9, 2008 at 10:39 a.m.
The trial for the Polk County sheriff charged with sexual offense was slated to begin Monday, but now has been postponed until Nov. 17, according to court records.
Sheriff Chris Abrils case went to trial in August in Polk County, but after only three days was halted and put on hold until November, when it would relocate. Guice granted the change of venue to Buncombe County, but it was later moved to Haywood County
Guice's decision came during the August trial after motions were entered by the prosecution for a mistrial, a renewed request for a change of venue and revocation of Abrils bond.
Abril, 45, was arrested on Aug. 28, 2006, and charged with five counts of first-degree statutory rape and one count of first-degree sexual offense stemming from alleged incidents in 1988 and 1989 involving a 10-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl.
A judge set Abril's bond at $100,000. Abril later posted bond and was released.
If convicted, Abril would have to resign as sheriff and the executive committee of the Polk County Democratic Party would select his replacement.
Hunt, the district attorney for the 29th prosecutorial district - Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania counties - said in a press release that it was the N.C. Attorney General's office that sought indictments against Abril after the State Bureau of Investigation began looking into two reported instances of sexual assault.
The SBI investigation began on March 29, 2006, at the request of Hunt, according to the state Department of Justice. The alleged sexual assaults involved two Polk County girls who were 10 and 12 years old at the time, according to records.
Hunt said in a November 2006 interview that the surfacing of the second victim was the definitive added element. "The second victim was the additional factor making it necessary for me as the district attorney to turn the matter over to the North Carolina Attorney General's office in order to fulfill the terms of my oath of office," Hunt said. "From that time, the Attorney General's office has been responsible for the Abril investigation, indictment and prosecution."
The Attorney General's office, after examining the facts, decided it was appropriate to seek indictments against Abril, Hunt said.
Abril was appointed Columbus police chief in April 2002, but resigned to run for sheriff. Despite being arrested and charged with the sexual offenses, Abril, a Democrat, defeated the Republican incumbent, David Satterfield, with 54 percent of the vote.

Story Time
The heck with looking forward. There's value in looking back.
When a friend of mine recently began reminiscing about the past, her grown daughter told her, "That's for old people in nursing homes. You should be thinking forward."
Along with so many other arbitrary rules for "aging gracefully," older adults often feel pressure to stifle an unseemly interest in the past. "When I was a girl…" or "in the old days…" are phrases that tend to make the younger generation's eyes glaze over.
The Journal Report
See the complete Encore report.
Such reactions are understandable if the recollection is morbid or cruel, as in: "Remember how clumsy you were in the third grade?" And unless you wish to be branded a codger, it's best to avoid numbing repetitions of the same story, or overly rosy comparisons of the past to the present.
Generally, however, I'd argue that tripping down memory lane is a healthy and necessary task of growing older—even if only practiced privately, or in the company of an agreeable friend or spouse. The urge to sum up is "part of normal aging," wrote Gene D. Cohen, a psychiatrist and gerontologist, in his book "The Mature Mind." Inspired by a growing sense of our own mortality, reminiscing can lead to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, as well as the resolution of old conflicts and unfinished business, he explained.
Living History
My husband, Donald, and I swap recollections almost every day. We both come from families where memories were ever-present in daily conversation. For a quarter-century, we joined Donald's extended family each summer at a beach house in Galveston, Texas, where evenings were usually reserved for storytelling on the deck. The old folks held forth with harrowing tales of bootleggers, the Mafia gambling joint that once occupied a town pier, and the 1900 hurricane, in which 8,000 people perished. The children listened, bug-eyed, for these dramas easily topped television. As the old generation passed away, their sons and daughters began spinning yarns of their own. We were touched and delighted recently to receive a note from a young cousin, recalling the fun we shared in Galveston and thanking us for the "good life talks" on the deck.
As a girl, I loved hearing my mother's exotic stories about growing up with eight siblings on a hardscrabble California farm operated by her Danish-immigrant parents: Tales of how Gypsies raided their home one morning and made off with tall stacks of pancakes her mother had made, or when, during a trip to town, she was stranded in the buggy during a downpour and some Chinese hotel workers with long braids terrified her by scooping her up and taking her inside to shelter. Mom's childhood was marked by much darkness—poverty, the madness and institutionalization of her mother, the death of a sister. Yet in the retelling, at least, it mostly sounded like a hilarious adventure—so different from our tame suburban existence.
And now, when our daughter Julia suddenly recalls one of mother's stories—or reminds me of some skill her grandmother taught her—my heart warms, knowing that their lives are still connected.
Fresh Memories
Perhaps the young people in our family have an unusually high tolerance for their elders' reminiscences. But since I now tend to forget who has already heard a given story, my recollections may soon become a tiresome bore. It's particularly important to guard against repetition with a spouse of long standing. Donald and I were driving Julia to camp years ago, and as we passed New Haven, Conn., he pointed out—as he always does—a huge rock escarpment on the outskirts of town, detailing (yet again) how he had scaled it when he was in college. I made a sarcastic comment, sharp words were exchanged, and the rest of the trip passed in near-silence.
Still, Donald continually redeems himself by dredging up fresh memories—or at least stories I don't remember having heard before: how he went camping in the same East Texas woods where the outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow once hid out. Or a deathbed visit he paid to a neighbor who claimed to be the last living veteran of the Civil War. Though the 105-year-old's claim later proved spurious, 100,000 people lined the streets of Houston to commemorate his passing.
So what if we hearken back to the past a bit too often? Blame it on the dogged resilience of long-term memory. I now fumble friends' names while making introductions. But the names of every one of my childhood stuffed animals are etched forever in my brain.
Besides, sharing stories can be comforting. A neighbor spent a couple of weeks this summer at the beach with her two sisters, where they recalled how as girls they had been required to stand at attention when their disciplinarian father came home from work. "We laugh about it now, but it wasn't so funny then," she says.
My friend Marlene recalls visiting her brother as he lay gravely ill. She reminded him of the time he had been delegated to escort her to kindergarten. After he had dropped her at her classroom, she began sobbing because he hadn't kissed her goodbye. The teachers fetched him and made him—an 11-year-old—kiss her.
Years later, shortly before he died, brother and sister could laugh at the memory. He then kissed her twice. "Once for then and once for now," he said.
In "Man's Search for Meaning," Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl affirmed the value of reflecting on past accomplishments as one grows older. Why should the old envy the young? he asked. "For the possibilities that a young person has? Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and of love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered."
Questions From the Grandkids
So, amid today's electronic ephemera of texting and Tweeting, it seems more important than ever to maintain the oral tradition that has been with us since ancient times. Our friends Bill and Gay celebrated their 50th anniversary two years ago with a weekend of family activities. They had asked that their five grandchildren, then ages 8 to 16, each write three questions about their lives that they would answer at the festivities.
The kids took to the assignment with gusto, each producing about 10 questions. Among them: What did you think of each other when you first met? Did you look a lot different then? What did you love to do when you were young, because I know that you didn't have much technology? What was your biggest fight about?
Answering took hours. "We could have gone on indefinitely," Gay says. "It made for a hilarious evening." It goes without saying that the exercise was also a deft way to transmit lessons about life while strengthening generational bonds. And can you imagine a more pleasurable activity for older folks than having an audience of giggling grandkids in the palm of your hand?

galactosemia that affects how the body processes a simple sugar called galactose. A small amount of galactose is present in many foods. It is primarily part of a larger sugar called lactose, which is found in all dairy products and many baby formulas. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia result from an inability to use galactose to produce energy. Galactokinase deficiency causes fewer medical problems than the classic type. Affected infants usually develop cataracts, but otherwise experience few long-term complications. This condition is caused by mutations in the GALK1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.[1]Galactokinase deficiency, or galactosemia type 2, is a type of

The proportion of patients with hypertension who were benefited by surgery exceeded 85% throughout a follow-up period of 6 to 48 months. Renal venous renin activity was found to be the best single criterion for prediction of improvement following surgical treatment of renal hypertension. With bilateral renovascular lesions, renal venous renin activity values may not lateralize, indicating either that both kidneys have pressor effects or that renal arterial lesions are not related pathogenetically to hypertension. The lateralization of urogram, isotope renogram, and renal venous renin activity values appear to be the optimal setting for prediction of improvement. In renal artery stenosis with ipsilateral lateralization of renal venous renin activity values, the improvement rate is high (90%), even when the excretory urogram or isotope renogram or both do not lateralize.

The results of the surgical treatment of bronchogenic carcinoma have been distressingly poor. The five year survival rates of patients in whom this disease causes symptoms have been only 5 to 10% of the entire group.1 The survival rate is better in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma without symptoms, in whom the tumor has been found incidentally.2 The patient described in this report presented himself with a recurrent carcinoma in the bronchial stump 18 months after pneumonectomy. No other carcinoma was found. It was decided to explore the chest, to remove the stump of the bronchus, if possible, and to repair the defect with steel wire mesh.3 The successful reoperation in this patient illustrates that recurrent bronchogenic carcinoma need not be hopeless. No similar case has been found in the available literature.

To the Editor.—
The multiplicity of media available for identification of enterococcus and the inadequacy of any one of them alone to provide positive identification of the organism is a very practical problem for the average clinical laboratory. As Dr. Demko indicates, increasing the bile concen tration of the medium increases accuracy, but even the 40% concentration Bile Esculin Agar (Difco) will occasionally support the growth of viridans streptococci, falsely identifying the organism as enterococcus.1The important point is that whichever selective medium is used for screening purposes, confirmation of the identity of enterococcus should depend on further tests, preferably growth in 6.5% sodium chloride broth. In addition, an early clue to correct identification may be found from the sensitivity plates, since enterococci are almost invariably resistant to lincomycin and both Streptococcus viridans and nonenterococcal group D organisms are usually sensitive. To summarize, no single test can be used

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am qualified to teach career development because of my extensive experience reading and writing resumes and cover letters. As the founder of a nonprofit organization, I have reviewed many resumes and interviewed many people for various positions as volunteers, staff and board members. As a law school graduate, I am also familiar with what professionals are interested in seeing on resumes and cover letters. I also have a breadth of experience in using job searching websites and interviews.
I am qualified to tutor in College Counseling because of my experience at the University of Florida and then at Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. Having experience going through the college process at two of the largest universities in the country make me uniquely qualified to coach prospective students. As an undergraduate I received several scholarships, allowing me to go to school for free (including books and boarding). I also received scholarships in law school. I have also coached two younger siblings through the college process. In addition to my personal experience, I have assisted high school students in the Law and Leadership Institute with researching colleges, going through the application process, and tackling scholarship searches. Students who I have assisted, are currently enrolled in universities nationwide, and many have attained scholarships. I have the skills and experience to coach students wanting to enter higher education.
I cook 4 to 5 times a week from scratch. I am handy around the kitchen and make meals from scratch from different cuisine types. I can make Trinidadian food, Guyanese food, American food, some Italian food, some Mexican food, and some Chinese food. I am happy to teach cooking through hands-on activities, through recipes, and gathering ingredients.
My qualifications in criminal justice stem from my experience teaching students about the criminal justice system, criminal law, and criminal procedure. I have also taken classes on criminal law, where I was able to understand the legal workings of the criminal justice system. As a lawyer, I have attended many seminars and meetings about the criminal justice system. As a tutor, I can enhance your understanding of criminal justice.
I have experience tutoring elementary school students. I am currently tutoring a 2nd grader with reading, writing, reading comprehension, and mathematics. As a nonprofit leader, I work with youth each month to enhance their skills.
I have experience working with young children in phonics. By using flashcards, phonics applications online and phonics games, I am able to help children improve. Word pronunciation is key to successful reading abilities. I have seen tremendous improvement with my most recent client who is 7 years old and has been able to increase the speed of his reading because his word pronunciation has improved significantly. I use many phonics games and activities to make phonics fun.
I am qualified to tutor students in photography because I have extensive experience and formal training as a photographer. I have studied photography and camera settings and processed my own film, along with having printed my own prints in a darkroom. At one point in time, I put together an amateur photography portfolio that was showcased in a local photography show for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
I continue my love for photography as a hobby and have photographed many famous sites like the Everglades, Grand Canyon, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, the Sierra-Nevada Mountain Range, ancient Roman sites, the ancient ruins of Pompeii, the canals of Venice, the Caribbean Sea, mountainous beaches of Trinidad and Tobago, the beaches of Aruba, the deserts of Arizona, Nevada and California, and many other breathtaking sites.
As an outspoken leader in student organizations, and now as President of a nonprofit organization, I have extensive experience in public speaking. I have coached others in how to deliver an address in front of audiences and how to tailor speech to the specific audience. I have also been formally trained in public speaking techniques through various seminars.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Religion from the University of Florida. This qualification alone makes me the ideal tutor in Religion. Additionally, I have a lot of personal experience exploring and understanding world religions.
Throughout my experience in higher education, I've managed to refine my studying skills. I have also mentored high school students on how best to study. In addition, I've run a study tip seminar for 9th graders and provided students with different ways to study independently and in groups.

CareFusion Corp. has agreed to pay $40.1 million to settle allegations it paid kickbacks and promoted its medical technology products for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Justice Department announced the settlement Thursday with the San Diego-based company of a whistleblower lawsuit unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas.
The deal also resolves claims that CareFusion (NYSE: CFN) paid more than $11.6 million in kickbacks to a physician who co-chaired the Safe Practices Committee at the National Quality Forum, a nonprofit group that recommends health care practices.
Dr. Cynthia Kirk, a former CareFusion vice president, initially filed the whistleblower lawsuit under provisions of the False Claims Act. The Justice Department says her share of the settlement is $3.26 million.
