SAUGUS — Massachusetts prosecutors say no charges are being filed after a 2-year-old Peabody girl suffered fatal head injuries in an accidental fall.
Saugus police said the child fell out of the arms of a person carrying her to a car after a church service at about 2 p.m. Sunday. Police said the person reached into a car to turn on the ignition and start the air conditioner. The car then lurched forward and the person lost balance. Early reports said she was struck by a car.
On Monday, Saugus assistant Police Chief Lt. Leonard Campanello and the Essex District Attorney's office called it a tragic accident.
Police said the girl and her family had just attended services at the Brazilian Ministry of the Family United Methodist Church.
Authorities did not release their names.

Marriott And The Millennials
Large global companies that sell to consumers directly are in the process of making sure that they continue to be relevant to tomorrow's buyers – the millennials, who will shape their profits and growth for the next two decades. And you can see this not just in terms of marketing and Ads but also products and platforms across diverse industries – cars, electronics, food and so on and so forth.
Marriott, which operates more than 660,000 rooms across 16 brands globally, is no different.
So what is it trying to do? Brooks Barnes writes in a highly readable NYT piece that
To win over younger business travelers — and, even more important, to keep them in the Marriott fold when they travel for leisure, particularly overseas — the energetic Mr. Sorenson (Arne Sorenson, the first non-family CEO at Marriott International – Ed.) is relying on a range of strategies.
Core hotels are getting gussied up. In September, the Chicago Marriott O'Hareunveiled $40 million worth of improvements, including a better bar, historically a Marriott weakness. (Some analysts trace that to the company's Mormon roots.) The Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center begins a similar $30 million upgrade in February. The company has been trying to improve what it calls the "guest-room beauty experience" at Marriott-brand hotels — stocking bathrooms, for instance, with a Thai skin care line.
A new ad push, "Travel Brilliantly," estimated to cost roughly $90 million over three years, reflects Mr. Sorenson's focus on younger consumers. TV and web ads, taped at international resorts like the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, intone: "This is not a hotel. It's an idea that travel should be brilliant. The promise of spaces as expansive as your imagination." Marriott also offers Xplor, a free smartphone app combining reservations with games; players win loyalty club points by completing challenges at virtual hotels.
"We want people to be saying, 'Hey, do you see what Marriott just did?' " Mr. Sorenson said.
And it is starting new brands and not explicitly associating them with the Marriott name in some parts of the world. In others, it is trying to explicitly link the Ritz Carlton name to its Marriott owners, etc.
A terrific read, that piece.

By RON CHIMELIS
My one encounter with Jeff Truitt was in November, and left me thinking this was one heck of a nice guy.
In hockey, though, that's not enough. This was made clear Tuesday, when Truitt was fired as coach of the Springfield Falcons.
"A class act, a salt-of-the-earth guy," said Falcons president Bruce Landon, who did not ask the Edmonton Oilers to fire Truitt, but was not totally surprised they did.
Assigning credit or blame to any coach is an inexact science, but this was a change that had to be made. Entering Wednesday night's game at Manchester, the Falcons had the worst record in the 29-team American Hockey League.
Edmonton's 2007 arrival as Springfield's parent club came with this pitch: the Oilers' Canadian roots meant they cared a lot more about their hockey operation, including their farm team, than Tampa Bay did.
They had to show that concern by doing something. Firing Truitt was that something.
For weeks, Falcons' bloggers had been roasting Truitt. Bloggers are not always voices of reason, but to their credit, anybody who takes time to blog about the Falcons still cares about them.
That's not why Truitt was fired. After a promising start, the Falcons plummeted to the bottom of the standings.
Was that Truitt's fault? Probably not entirely.
The Oilers are considered strong in scouting, but some of these players were probably overrated.
The offense was abysmal, in part because the defense didn't control its end well enough to give the forwards a starting point.
The goaltending was fine. Overall, though, this team was just not good enough.
Landon said the Oilers tried their utmost to improve the roster, and did so here and there.
Even a modestly better lineup, though, kept losing. Waiting until season's end to make a coaching change is the conventional policy, but that would have made it look as if the Oilers were giving up on this year with 30 games left.
With their talent pipeline floundering, they could not afford that. Neither could the Falcons, whose attendance is up 26 percent this year.
Asked to show its loyalty this season, Springfield has held up its end, even as the team has not.
The fans will soon be asked to re-up for next season. Firing Truitt does not turn mediocre players into good ones, but it shows the Oilers still care.
At the very least, the fans absolutely deserve that.
The new coach is Rob Daum, who has 30 games to produce incremental improvement. Realistically, that is the best we can hope for.
Whether Truitt deserved the blame or not, he had to go. He is the latest victim of the old axiom that nice guys finish last.
Unless, as in this case, being last means you don't get to finish.

Per the Associated Press, Johan Franzen broke a Red Wings record on Thursday:
May 6, Associated Press: Johan Franzen has set a Detroit Red Wings playoff record with six points, and tied another team mark with four goals against the San Jose Sharks. Franzen scored three times in a 3:26 span of the first period and had a fourth goal in the third to go along with two assists.The Detroit Free Press adds this...

May 7, Detroit Free Press :Johan Franzen became the third Red Wing to score four goals in a single game. The list:
April 3, 1945 vs. Boston, Carl Liscombe, W, 5-3

A Monmouth County contractor has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a client's young daughter.
Clement Bilski Jr. was convicted today of assaulting the girl from 1998 to 2003, beginning when the girl was 2 years old.Bilski videotaped many of the attacks, prosecutors said, and the tapes played a key role in the evidence. Jurors at times were driven to tears while watching more than 5 hours of graphic tapes.
They asked to review some of the tapes during the start of deliberations Tuesday.
Bilski was found guilty of all 143 counts of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, criminal restraint, and other charges filed against him.
The 45-year-old's lawyer did not call any witnesses and criticized the prosecution in closing arguments for failing to study Bilski's state of mind.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tasting Notes
Light yellow with greenish reflections. Fresh, flavourful. Persistent finish.
Wine Maker Notes
Grapes:Chardonnay 100% Selection comes from the Minervino Murge and San Pietro Vernotico estates
Vinification:The grapes are pressed softly and the must obtained is put in Inox tanks at a temperature of 10°C so as to achieve a natural clarification.
Subsequently, a part of the wine is poured into barriques of 2° insertion, where the alcoholic fermentation takes place and in part also the malolactic one, with selected yeast and in a thermo conditioned environment. After ageing for about 3 months in barrique, the wine is poured in Inox tanks at a controlled temperature, where it goes through the fining process until the next stage: bottling.

The gun debate
Last summer I went to the midnight premier of The Dark Knight Rises in Williamsport. Hours later I'm watching CNN to see another senseless shooting had ensued at a screening of that very film in a theater in Colorado. This was then followed by months of equally senseless debates among celebrity pundits and those representing the odious organization known as the NRA.
Of course, nothing meaningful came of this as usual then in December another young man goes into an elementary school in Newtown Connecticut slaughtering several adults & 20 young children. Many people seem to be perplexed as to how to solve this epidemic of spree shootings.
First off, no civilian needs an AR-15 assault rifle, however you have the right to own one. If a deranged individual who has yet to commit a crime wishes to purchase such a weapon or a handgun there's nothing to stop them. Clearly, mental health is a big part of this and has to be addressed in a meaningful way.
Having a firearm in your home carries responsibility an aspect of this whole national discussion that seems to rarely come up. I don't own a gun although I can totally rationalize someone using one to protect their home & family from someone who poses a threat.
Those who possess firearms in order to defend themselves against the government in case they turn democracy inside out I got news for ya, that already happened! The U.S. government has nukes a fleet of jets subs and ships armed and ready. If you think you can take them on with what you can buy at your local gun store good luck!
The government has little concern over American citizens and their semi automatic toys. Nor do they seem to care about what some deranged individuals do with these toys.

In an attempt to create a signing frenzy when free agency officially opens Tuesday, the NFL created a "legal tampering period" which opened Saturday night and allowed agents to discuss potential deals with teams.
Within minutes a few rumors started lying. The biggest one for the New England Patriots involved a name that will likely get fans excited.
Take this for what it is worth (I see it as solid). Agent just told me he hears Patriots have some interest in Mike Wallace.— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) March 9, 2013
Putting aside the fact that going after big names on the open market is very unBelichickian, it is interesting that Wallace was one of the first people contacted by the Patriots. However, there's a pretty big gap between showing "some interest" and actually signing someone to a contract.
And before anyone gets too excited, it's important to remember that 95 percent of the rumors whispered this time of year are baseless and/or designed to mislead. It's too soon to know where this one falls, but it's hard not to image the added dimension that Wallace, one of the league's premier deep threats, would bring to New England's offense if this rumor has any substance behind it.

Four Takeaways From the NFL Owners' Meeting
The National Football League held its annual fall meetings this week in Washington, D.C. Here are four things we learned when 32 owners and Commissioner Roger Goodell got together to discuss the status and future of the nation's most popular sport.
1. The dream of more games lives. NFL owners are considering adding two teams to the playoffs as soon as 2015. The current format includes 12 teams (six from each conference) that play a total of 11 games. A 14-team format is still to be determined. Goodell says it would probably involve six games instead of four on the first weekend of the playoffs. Those two additional games are what the NFL wants most out of the change. More high-stakes games are an obvious way to make more money. Adding playoff teams has worked well for Major League Baseball. It should also be an easier sell to players than the league's long-frustrated ambition to expand every teams' regular season from 16 to 18 games.
2. Hard Knocks for (almost) everybody. The league passed a new rule that allows it to compel teams to participate in Hard Knocks, the "reality" series it produces with HBO. The show covers one team in depth each preseason. The league likes the show because fans love to peak inside locker rooms, coaches' meetings, and players' homes. Teams have often refused to participate because they don't want fans peaking inside the locker room, coaches' meetings, and players' homes. The new rule exempts teams that have a first-year coach, have been on the show in the past decade, or have made the playoffs in at least one of the past two seasons. It's cleverly crafted to give fans more chance to see more teams while protecting those least able to handle the extra scrutiny. And if a team complains, it's the team's own fault for failing to make the playoffs.
3. The Washington Redskins name is a pest that won't go away. As the Associated Press reported, the possibility of a name change for the Redskins was not on the agenda in Washington, "yet it was the subject of four of the first five questions posed" at Goodell's Tuesday news conference. Goodell, who has softened his stance of late, told reporters that the league needs to "make sure we're doing what's right." The push to change gained new momentum over the weekend when President Obama said he would think about changing the name if he were the team's owner. The actual owner, Dan Snyder, then wrote a letter to season-ticket holders saying that he had thought about it, thanks, and wasn't about to budge.
4. What League of Denial? The PBS Frontline (and formerly ESPN) documentary on the NFL's handling of its concussion crisis, League of Denial, happened to make its debut during the league meetings. It covers the NFL's history of pretending there isn't a problem. This is what Goodell had to say about it:
Goodall says too busy to watch PBS documentary on concussions and NFL, says won't comment on something he hasn't seen— daniel kaplan (@dkaplanSBJ) October 8, 2013

Think you have litter box issues?
Up until the mid-40s cats either went outside or in a box of ashes or sand. Talk about tracking debris!
Entrepreneur Edward Lowe is the man credited with bringing cats inside with his clever invention of Kitty Litter. In fact the words "Kitty Litter" are trademarked to Lowe even though we use that phrase to describe any product we put in our cat's litter boxes.
His story is below:
Edward Lowe was born July 10, 1920 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lowe served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945. After the Navy, Lowe worked for his father selling industrial absorbents, including products such as sawdust and an absorbent clay called Fuller's Earth. Edward Lowe's neighbor Kay Draper asked for a replacement for the ashes she was using in her cat box. (George Plitt first packaging ashes from burned wood for cats to use.) Her cat was trailing ashy paw prints all over her home and she was hoping for a cleaner alternative. Ed Lowe suggested that she use absorbent clay, she did and loved it.
In 1947, Edward Lowe decided to package the clay in 5lb bags marked "kitty litter" to sell in a local pet store. The store owner did not think the product would sell for the asking price of sixty-five cents, sand for cat boxes was very cheap. Ed Lowe convinced the store owner to display his product and give it away. Soon, the customers were willing to pay for more kitty litter. (from about.com)
Edward Lowe Industries went on to create Tidy Cat brand litter in 1964.
And one last fun fact about cat litter, in 1984, biochemist Thomas Nelson invented the first clumping kitty litter.

Most of volunteers project in Ghana are located within 1-20 KM of our home base so you may walk or ride a local bus to your project. In the evening when you return to home base, you can relax, eat dinner, explore local areas or simply share experience with volunteer comrades.
Occasionally if a project is located far from the IFRE home base or when our home base is fully occupied with volunteers, we will place volunteers with host families.

In most cases, you will share a room with volunteers (of same gender). In Ghana, our field staff is an experienced team comprising of country coordinators, assistant coordinators, managers, cooks and field assistants. Our field staff visits volunteers regularly and always happy to help our volunteers in any way needed. We offer 3 meals a day of local cuisine. Typically, volunteers eat breakfast and dinner at the home base (or host family) and have lunch at their project. We offer fresh, nutritious and safe local foods to our volunteers to eat. We also work extremely hard to maintain our facilities in a positive condition.

Everyone's had the same experience: you wake up early in the morning and you're feeling terrible. Do you tough it out and go to work or call in sick?
Many people feel noble when they choose to go in.
But Bruce Weinstein, a BusinessWeek.com columnist known as "The Ethics Guy," says you shouldn't - even if you think your presence would help the company.
"We can give these illnesses to other people simply by shaking their hand or touching an object that they then touch," Weinstein said. "And it's a violation of the ethical obligation we have to be fair, and it's a violation of the ethical obligation to do no harm."
Weinstein, who was expected to discuss this topic March 6 on NBC's "The Today Show," will give the keynote address March 14 at Eastern Michigan University's second annual Ethos Week.
The week will highlight ethical challenges facing businesses and workers. David Mielke, dean of EMU's College of Business, has said he believes Eastern was the first university to host a week of events devoted solely to ethics.
This year, WJR radio host Paul W. Smith will kick off the week by hosting his entire show March 10 from the Gary Owen College of Business building in downtown Ypsilanti.
Weinstein said the five ethical principles everyone should follow are: Do no harm; make things better; respect other people; be fair; and be compassionate.
Weinstein recently spoke with Business Review reporter Nathan Bomey.
Business Review: What is the greatest ethical challenge facing American business today?
Weinstein: There are so many challenges that American businesses face today, and one ... is the ethics of observing wrongdoing.
Through no fault of your own, you're drawn into an ethical problem simply because you know someone else or you suspect someone else of doing something they shouldn't be doing - cheating, stealing, lying, being unfair to clients, taking advantage of clients and so forth. So the question is: Should one do something and, if so, what?
How does the concept of ethical business practices fit into the increasingly global economy?
Just as it is the case that for a business to succeed it has to take a global point of view - as opposed to a local point of view - similarly a business has to think about its ethical conduct for it to be able to succeed.
And we certainly see the cost of businesses failing to take ethics seriously. If all you're concerned about is your image, your reputation, the worst possible PR that you could ever hope for is seeing your CEO being led away in handcuffs on the evening news or on the front page of a major newspaper.
But I don't think that the way to encourage people to take ethics seriously is to threaten some sort of punishment if they don't do it. Rather, ethics is something that is in our own interest to take seriously.
And the message in everything I've ever written, every speech I've ever given, every consultation I've ever had is this: the reason to do the right thing is simply because it's the right thing to do.
What are the characteristics of an ethical company?
This is also a very important point. The ethical guidelines for businesses ... are the same principles that apply to the rest of us.
Is ethics something that can be taught?
Ethics absolutely can be taught, and it has to be taught. The reason people have a problem with the idea of teaching ethics is that it's widely believed to be the case that ethics varies from culture to culture, from place to place, from religion to religion.
But in fact at the most fundamental level, the ethical principles are the same, whatever culture you're looking at, whatever business you're looking at, whatever religion you're looking at.
How do you define ethics?
Ethics at its most basic level is an attempt to correct our natural impulse to focus mostly on ourselves. The most fundamental ethical concern is how might my actions, my words, my deeds, affect other people.
Do you ever feel uncomfortable giving people decisive answers on their ethical issues?
What I try to do in my work is not to tell people what to do so much, but to give them tools for solving this problem and future problems.
In a recent column, you suggested it's more ethical to stay at home if you're sick than to come to work. Why do you think so?
It's unfair to yourself, it's unfair your coworkers. It's unfair to the company, it's unfair to clients, and it's unfair to all the people you encounter to and from work, to increase the risk that they will get the illness you have... We can give these illnesses to other people simply by shaking their hand or touching an object that they then touch. And it's a violation of the ethical obligation we have to be fair, and it's a violation of the ethical obligation to do no harm.
Also, 45,000 people in the United States die every year because of the flu or flu-related illnesses, so what we're talking about is not a potential nuisance. It's something that's potentially serious and harmful.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The Mobile County school board has been cited by the Alabama Department of Examiner's Office of Public Accounts for several infractions, but received no penalties.
In the audit, examiners found violations involving expense reimbursements, a gift card purchase with school funds and checks being deposited improperly.
The examiner's office made recommendations about how to avoid such situations in the future.
While the problems appear to be minor, school Superintendent Roy Nichols said they are still violations of the law.
Board president Ken Megginson said a lot of it relates to the fact that schools are very busy. He said the staffs will "buy something and then realize, 'Oops; this is not the way we're supposed to do it.'"
Also, he said the staff members may make missteps in trying to be friendly and supportive.
Nichols said that the auditors randomly selected 10 schools to evaluate.
Among problems found in the audit:
- Scarborough Middle School and Mary G. Montgomery High did not make bank deposits in a timely manner.
- Belsaw/Mount Vernon School purchased Christmas cards with public funds, while Mary G. Montgomery purchased flowers for staff members and a $100 gift card from Outback Steakhouse for a staff member.
- At B.C. Rain High, checks were entered into the computer system based on the date posted rather than the date the check was written. Also, the check numbers entered into the system did not match the actual check numbers.
- Calcedeaver Elementary, Washington Middle School and B.C. Rain did not keep invoices to support purchases made by the schools.

ALLENDALE, MI — There are 101 sets of twins enrolled at Grand Valley State University, and more than half of them showed up for a group photo and an attempt at a world record.
On Sunday, April 6, 52 sets of currently enrolled twin students were joined by 12 sets of twin alumni and even a few infant twin students-to-be at the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena.
During the event, which was hosted by the University Communications and Alumni Relations department, the twins lined up to form the number 2. Participants were rewarded with T-shirts, pizza and snacks.
"We thought we were the only ones; we didn't think there were that many twins here," said Laine Girard, in a press release.
A marketing major from Eastpointe, Mich., Laine attended the event with twin sister, Leah, who will graduate with a degree in physical education.
"People don't understand the connection we have to each other," Leah said. "We work hard on nurturing our relationship."
The meeting was an attempt to set a world record, and the organizers hope to hear back from Guinness World Records in the next two weeks, pending confirmation of the attempt.

Current solutions
Current solutions are based on ANTI. All ANTI are toxic, high impact and have a direct killing effect. Downsides are the side-effects:
- also killing good bacteria
- negative impact on natural healing process
- creating the problem of resistance
- negative impact on general health (antibiotics)
2QR (pronounce: to cure) is a real break-through. A completely new approach to solve bacterial problems. Since 2QR is not based on the ANTI principle it offers an alternative to antiseptics and antibiotics.
- is not based on harsh chemicals or toxic substances
- does not affect the good and useful bacteria
- has no negative impact on the bodys own cells and the natural healing process
- does not provoke resistance
- has no negative side-effects and is totally safe

Here are a couple of stories I found interesting this Friday morning. Take a look at them during your lunch hour, or save them for this weekend when you have more time.
Since it looks to be a bright and sunny day, let's start with a story about exorcism. To get you in the mood, listen to the opening song from the movie "The Exorcist."
The story is about a couple in Dallas, described this way by writer Julie Lyons:
"You won't hear bland Bible homilies in this place, however. The Pollards are exorcists, practitioners of an ancient specialty mostly lost since the early days of the church, and their job is to cast out demons. The demons come out through gagging and coughing and shaking and yawning, with minimal histrionics, because Larry "binds" the theatrical antics of demons, such as flinging bodies across a room. They call it gentle deliverance.
Pastors and Christian mental-health professionals from all over the country quietly refer clients they just can't help to the Pollards, after trying everything. In the 15 years or so since the Pollards started their ministry, there has been no shortage of tortured souls."
Take a look at her story, and then seek out the light.
Who among us hasn't fantasized about winning the lottery? Writer Steve McVicker profiles a Texas man who won $31 million.
"Many have the same dream: finding the six magical numbers that unlock the treasure known as the Texas Lottery. Then life would be good. Problems would vanish. There are even the collective fantasies of what to buy and with whom to share this new, instant wealth.
Billie Bob Harrell Jr. shared those common visions by common souls seeking the salvation of sudden fortune.
And in June 1997, he found it."

Burton -- Since I'd heard screams while driving by, I was caught off guard by the feel of The Crypt. With silent cavernous walkways and flickering lights, the haunt is clean, professional and eerie, reminding me of a Disney attraction.
There's nothing demonic within. What gets you is the anticipation, knowing something or someone is waiting for you around each spooky bend. Then a creature unexpectedly swoops down on you, or you suddenly find the very monster that preys on your fears.
The Crypt
- What: The Crypt haunted house
- Where: Located near Chemco, the Halloween Connection shop, 4247 S. Dort Highway, Burton.
- Cost: $13 admission; discount coupons and Sunday family rate also available.
- Hours: 7 p.m.-midnight, today and Oct. 19, 20, 21 and 26-31.
- Details: (810) 742-2260 or www.thecrypthauntedhouse.com.
- Overall rating: 3.83 on a scale to 1-5, with 5 being the scariest
Apparently that reaction isn't limited to my generation.
"You feel like you're going to fall off," said Brayton Haller, 17, of Fenton.
Here's how six participants, myself included, rated The Crypt on a 1-5 scare scale.• Taylor Traywick, 16, of Fenton: 4. "The chainsaw was the scariest. It was the scariest (haunted house) of my life."
Joe Booker, 16, of Fenton: 4. "(Taylor) just pulled me back and (she) drilled the wall."
Whitney Shenk, 20, of Flint: 3. "It had a lot of good props."
Nicole Johnson, 21, of Fenton: 3. "It wasn't good enough to make me pee my pants."
Jennifer Byrd, 15, of Fenton: 4. "There's a lot of unexpected chainsaws."
Elizabeth Lowe: 5. "At 40-something, I think I'm too old for haunted houses like this. My sissy heart was pounding so fast I regretted not getting an EKG first."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Birmingham Mayor William Bell this morning is requesting $10,100 to send two assistants along with him to Geneva, Switzerland next week.
An addendum to this morning's City Council agenda includes $4,782 for Bell's chief of staff Chuck Faush and $5,346 for April Odom, Bell's director of communication.
Bell is set to participate in the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination's conference August 12 – 14.
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, charted by the United Nations, is composed of independent experts who monitor implementation of an international agreement to end all forms of racial discrimination worldwide.
Exact figures for Bell's travel are not immediately available because the mayor's travel is never brought before the council for approval.
Bell's office says his expenses will be reimbursed by the U.S. State Department, which invited him to participate.
Bell will represent the U.S. on a panel discussing the successes of implementing the committee's goals in the American south. Countries participating in the committee initially submit reports on their progress to meet the organization's goals.
Bell's Swiss visit continues a series of world travels.
Bell has defended his traveling, calling it part of a larger strategy to enhance the city's international image and bring economic development.

Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Your doctor may suspect rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on your symptoms. Diagnosing RA can sometimes be difficult since there are several autoimmune disorders that have similar symptoms. Part of diagnosing RA is ruling out these other disorders.
The American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism have created a system for diagnosing RA. To start, symptoms need to be present for 6 weeks or more. The system then uses a 10-point scale assessing specific symptoms. The higher the score, the more likely RA is present.
Considered factors include:
The number of sore or swollen joints and any associated damage is considered. The areas affected may be a small joint ( hands or feet) or a large joint (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, or ankles). Which joints are affected, how many joints are affected, and for how long they have been affected all help with the diagnosis.
Blood tests look for markers of RA. Specific substances that may be present with RA can be found in the blood. These include:
- Rheumatoid factor (RF)—An autoantibody (factor that marks own tissue for attack by immune system) associated with RA and other autoimmune disorders.
- Anti-citrullinated protein antibody—Autoantibodies that are directed to proteins.
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)—To measure inflammation. Faster ESR rates are seen in many different diseases.
- C-reactive protein (CRP)—A protein found in the blood that rises in response to inflammation.
Imaging tests assess the joints, surrounding structures, and any associated damage. Tests may include:
The following tests involve tissue samples. The samples are examined under a microscope. They can help diagnose RA (and other conditions).
- Synovial biopsy—Removing a piece of the synovial membrane that lines the joint capsule.
- Arthrocentesis (joint aspiration)—Removal of synovial fluid from the joint with a needle.

If you have played youth sports in Hudson County at some point over the past four decades, then odds are good that you are familiar with the Rev. Lawrence Miller.
Miller, who most recently served as pastor at St. Mary's Church in Bayonne, retired on July 1, ending a run that began 44 years ago at Our Lady of Mercy in Jersey City.
The Bronx native, who will turn 79 next month, is widely known for having founded and coached in numerous youth sports leagues in Jersey City and Bayonne. Everything from baseball to basketball, from football to cheerleading and beyond, Miller has done it all.
He is also recognized for bringing two prominent sports to Hudson County for the very first time. In 1972, while at Our Lady of Mercy, he founded the county's first ice hockey league. That very year, he did the same for girls softball.
"I always thought it was important for the kids to see a priest in another role besides just being up on the altar saying Mass," said Miller. "I think it's good to see a priest in a normal, different setting, and for me that setting was always baseball, basketball, and so on."
Miller is widely known for his commitment and devotion to the church and sports, a devotion that can often bring out his fiery side. His passion, as well as his unique personality, is evident in a story of one Thanksgiving morning before a hockey game at Roosevelt Stadium.
"At six in the morning, we had about a hundred kids ready to play and no one came to open the stadium," recalled Miller. "Now, there was a clumsy looking door with a chain on it, and there happened to be an ax sitting right next to it, so I just started hacking away."
Miller's love for sports began at a young age, when his father used to take him to games at nearby Yankee Stadium, where the two would sit in the bleachers for only 50 cents.
After graduating from Cardinal Hayes High School in the South Bronx, Miller attended Fordham University. Upon graduating, he joined the U.S. Army before taking a job as a chemist.
But Miller would soon realize his life's calling and decide to leave his job and enter the priesthood. He was ordained in June 1969 and assigned to Our Lady of Mercy.
Forty years later, in 2009, he was elevated to the rank of monsignor, although he will always be known as "Father Miller" to those around him.
In addition to his duties within local sports leagues, he also served as the president of both the Hudson and Union County Catholic Youth Organizations for more than 15 years and has played a major role in the opening of The Cluster Soup Kitchen in Bayonne.
"A lot of people think I just do things for the sports, and sometimes that sticks in my craw," said Miller. "I'd also like to be remembered as a faithful priest and a guy that gave everything he had."
While his passion for the church and athletics is well known, those close to him know he harnesses that passion and uses it to help his community. James Shovlin, a former sacristan for Miller at St. Mary's, as well as a player and coach in the church's "Pee Wee" basketball league, knows Miller's impact.
"While known by many as simply a stern and dedicated pastor, he is also an extremely generous and compassionate man with an extraordinary commitment to his community, the likes of which I have never seen before," said Shovlin. "That commitment has allowed him to bring athletics into the lives of more youths than can be counted, myself included.
"Father Miller is a true Hudson County legend."
Although he is now officially retired as the pastor of St. Mary's, Miller isn't ready to mail it in just yet. Already an inductee into the St. Peter's Prep Hall of Fame, Miller plans to be instrumental around the school in the coming years, as he has been brought on to work as a counselor.
"My drive is still the same and mentally I know I can do everything I once did, but physically I'm not as sharp," said Miller.
"I hope I have done a lot of good during the time the Lord has given me, and I really have enjoyed everything I've done in life."
Miller then paused, and with his trademark sense of humor went back on his previous statement.
"Except all that time I've wasted watching the Jets."

A worker was burned Sunday morning at the St. Gobain Glass Plant in Milford when a propane tank exploded.
Fire officials said the explosion happened at about 7:30 a.m. when a 55-year-old worker at a truck refilling station smelled gas, then saw a spark.
Authorities said the man was transported to Milford Regional Hospital where he suffered first-degree burns to his face.
Firefighters were able to get the blaze under control but three or four tanks completely melted.
The exact cause of the explosion is under investigation.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama ---No trial date has been scheduled for a southeast Alabama lawmaker who is charged with perjury.
What was reported earlier today on AL.com was inaccurate.
A filing entered in the state's electronic court system on Friday indicated that a trial date of June 3 was set for Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise.
But Bill Baxley, Moore's attorney, said that the entry was an automated entry put in by the court system because Moore's arraignment was scheduled for last week.
"I think that was a routine system pop-up, because it's not nearly in a posture to go to trial," Baxley said.
Moore has asked for the case to be dismissed.
Moore pleaded not guilty to two charges of perjury and two charges of giving false statements. An indictment issued April 23 by a special grand jury in Lee County accuses him of lying to the grand jury during his testimony in January.
The grand jury was formed in August 2013 at the request of the attorney general's office to investigate possible State House corruption.
Former state Rep. Greg Wren, R-Montgomery, pleaded guilty to an ethics misdemeanor violation and resigned from his seat in connection with the grand jury investigation. Wren agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
Moore faces Josh Pipkin in the Republican primary in House District 91.
This story was corrected at 2:37 p.m. to say that trial date has not been scheduled.

I have a memory of being a kid in my kitchen at my childhood home. I am pushing my tall sister aside of the full-length mirror that is positioned on door to our cellar stairs. The youngest of four girls and the shortest (and fattest), I always had to fight my way to the mirror to "check myself" before going out into the world. Moments before, my mom might have called to us from our position on the rug in front of the TV watching "Rin-Tin Tin" saying, "We have to get going. Slick-up and run a comb through your hair. "
Somewhere, that parent-recording is cemented in the guilt of my mind. For years it has reminded me daily to be ready and to look presentable before going anywhere. It has faithfully told me to check in the mirror before answering the door, going to work, running to the store or even going to the "Y." With five women in the house, there was one kitchen drawer full of makeup, combs, barrettes, headbands, white gloves and scarves; all in a location that in other households might have held measuring cups, knives, wooden spoons or silverware. Early on I learned food and looking good went hand in hand.
So why am I thinking about this? Last week, I ran into a good friend at the grocery store. I often get my inspirations from casual grocery gossip. My friend asked, "Why don't people dress up when they go out to eat? I don't mean fancy, but why can't they dress decently?"
He got me thinking. I had just left McDonald's where a young girl, a very pretty young girl, was standing behind me in a T-shirt and pajama bottoms, adorned with teddy bears and moons. Her feet were covered in fuzzy turquoise slippers and her hair had not seen a brush since the day before.
So why don't we dress up to eat out? Why don't we at least, look presentable? Why do some people not care at all and others pay attention? Why does the dress code in some fine dining restaurants seem to run the gamut from anything to everything?
Oh busboy, there are probably a lot of reasons. We are a more casual society. Many formalities have been misplaced. We have put our values in different areas. We are just too busy. Sometimes just getting the kids in the car and off to the restaurant after a day of work is enough. Who has time to wash their hands? I think another reason is we eat out very often and restaurants, fast food or fine dining, are more part of a routine rather than a special occasion. And, of course, in this economy a restaurant doesn't want to turn anyone away.
Whatever. I'm against looking lousy whenever one is eating out. My recommendation is that we should dress up when fine dining and look presentable when dining at a soft eatery.
Why is that? Well, why not?
1.) You are paying for this meal. Make the best of it. It is just nice to look good. Zig Zigler, a well-known motivational speaker, says, "Wanna feel better? Dress up!" Being dressed up and looking good makes you feel better. Period. Your mood enhances the meal for yourself and those with you. Your style enhances the meal for everyone. Do it up big time, or not, but do it up.
2.) You are part of the dcor. The atmosphere is part of what you pay for when you eat out. Everyone who walks into that restaurant becomes the atmosphere. Like the wallpaper, the decorations, the carpeting, the paint, the furniture, you add to the dcor especially in a fine-dining restaurant. Think about it. Do you want to be the unshaven, unkempt, smelly centerpiece at the table?
3.) You will get treated with more respect. Experience and statistics show that if you look better you get treated better.
4.) The neighbors are judging you. Oh, I didn't mean that. My mother-in- me made me write it.
5.) Lastly, I will make a case for sanitation and appetite. You are paying for and putting food in your mouth. Others are eating too. Please, be at least clean and neat. I don't want to look at someone or eat in a booth after someone who hasn't showered for weeks. There aren't a lot of you out there, and unfortunately you probably won't read this or see yourself in it even if you do.
I don't have the space, so another time I will serve up ideas about proper dress, such as men wearing hats (dare I?), jeans, shorts, etc. In the meantime, when you go out at least slick-up and run a comb through your hair.

P.S. To those of you that took my foodie quiz, I have to apologize. The answer to number one - "What handheld, footed tool, slices firm fruits and vegetables with precision into thick, thin, julienne and waffle cuts?" - was mandolin. The answer key was wrong. I'm sure it was my computer's fault!

"Video games are one of the only things in my life I would qualify as a complete addiction," Morgan said. "The medium has every bit the potential for exciting and emotionally charged storytelling as literature and film, and I'm excited to explore this format on my first project in partnership with a world class developer like Crytek."
While Morgan thinks games have vast storytelling potential, it appears he also isn't shy to speak out when he thinks they fail to meet it. Talking with CVG, he had a few critiques for the writers behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. "I thought Modern Warfare 2 was an immense disappointment. It was a massive step down from CoD4," he said. "What I thought when I played it was, 'Jesus guys, what have you been doing? You've not ramped anything up. The story is worse and the game doesn't really hang together, it's just a bunch of mission levels."
Higher on his list of quality videogame storytelling? Uncharted 2. "[Naughty Dog] really took it to a new place and you can honestly say to people if you played the first game, the second one is the same but better. Modern Warfare 2 is the same but... way worse. And it cost more money."
Crysis 2, meanwhile, is set in a ravaged New York City under assault of an alien invasion, with a story that Crytek promises will feature "gritty characters, a rich back-story, and plot twists rarely found in video games." For more on the title, check out our brand-new preview.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The system, Garrick McGee said, will be installed slowly during his first spring practice as the UAB head football coach.
He'll take time to get the offensive plays installed and taught and the defensive coaches will work slowly on teaching the new defensive system.
If the first practice session was any indication, that's about the only thing the Blazers will do slowly this spring.
One thing that stood out during Wednesday's practice, which lasted about two hours under the lights, was the quick pace.
Players moved quickly from drill to drill. Plays were run in quick succession and standing around was held to a minimum.
McGee said that would become a way of life for his team.
"The only way to play is fast," McGee said. "You only get so many hours on the field to work. You have to make sure you have as many opportunities to get better as you possibly can. You get as many reps as you can. I believe in having fast practices, getting a bunch of reps, that's the only way to get better."
Wednesday night wasn't solely an opportunity for the UAB players to begin learning a new system. It was also the first chance for McGee to step on the practice field as a head coach.
It wasn't hard to spot -- or hear -- McGee. He moved quickly around the field while giving advice or correcting players for making mistakes.
In a way, though, McGee said he felt like he didn't do nearly as much as during his days as an offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. "I normally break a sweat at practice," McGee said with a small smile. "It's different, but this is what I wanted to do my whole life so I feel comfortable managing, organizing, making sure the tempo is done the right way, making sure things are done the way I want it. I don't get time to worry about whether it's different or not, you just got to do your job."

Naturally, McGee found himself gravitating toward the quarterback. He was generally close by watching returning starter Jonathan Perry and the other quarterbacks throw the ball.
"Even though he's a head coach, he's still a quarterback coach," Perry said. "He's vocal with everybody but especially with the quarterbacks. He's definitely vocal during practice."
Junior wide receiver Jackie Williams indicated that one of the best things about Wednesday's practice was it was the first part of a clean slate for all the players.
Williams, who was the team's leading receiver last season and also a key contributor as a freshman, feels like he's auditioning for a spot during spring practice.
"It gives everyone an opportunity to go out there with an equal chance," Williams said. "Some people, if they didn't get a chance to play a lot last year, they have a new opportunity because we're all learning a new system. I still feel like I'm competing. I try to go out there every day with that on my shoulders.
UAB returns to the practice field on Friday afternoon for another session in shorts and helmets.

Charm & Strange
When you've been kept caged in the dark, it's impossible to see the forest for the trees. It's impossible to see anything, really. Not without bars . . .
In Stephanie Kuehn's brilliant debut Charm & Strange, Andrew Winston Winters is at war with himself.
He's part Win, the lonely teenager exiled to a remote Vermont boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy. The guy who shuts all his classmates out, no matter the cost.
He's part Drew, the angry young boy with violent impulses that control him. The boy who spent a fateful, long-ago summer with his brother and teenage cousins, only to endure a secret so monstrous it led three children to do the unthinkable.
Over the course of one night, while stuck at a party deep in the New England woods, Andrew battles both the pain of his past and the isolation of his present.
Before the sun rises, he'll either surrender his sanity to the wild darkness inside his mind or make peace with the most elemental of truths-that choosing to live can mean so much more than not dying.
Reach And Teach says:
In our brick-and-mortar shop in San Mateo, most of our sales are "hand-sells." That means someone comes in and asks for our suggestions either for themselves or as a gift. After sitting down to read Charm & Strange and being unable to stop until I had read it all the way through to the end, I sat dumbstruck wondering how I could possibly hand-sell this book. It is one of the most powerful psychological thrillers/mysteries I've ever read, narrated by Drew and Win, the same tortured person at two different ages. But what kind of torture? And how can I tell someone "You've GOT to read this book" without giving away any of its deep, dark secrets?
How indeed? I even wrote to the author to ask how a shop like ours, dedicated to peacemaking should approach selling this book. She responded immediately. "I can only say that, on a philosophical level, for me, making the world a peaceful, more just place means talking about the things that are unspeakable: giving them a name and not letting anyone be alone in their darkness. There's already too much silence and too much shame, and painful as it is, the book isn't what children need protecting from. Given that perspective, I would imagine that you would sell it with the same grace and kindness and compassion as you sell all your books. It sounds as if you care deeply about your customers and their well-being, which is something so very special and dear. Follow your heart. That's all any of us can do."
Wow. Spot on. That is what we must do, follow our hearts and my heart is telling me that a lot of people have to read this book.
The very first line of the book, "I don't feel the presence of God here." grabbed me and held onto me through the very end. Sometimes the darkness is so deep, and so terrible, that it is almost impossible to feel the presence of God. But if there is one person nearby, who understands that darkness because of having read a book like this, then the presence of God can be felt and a glimmer of light can let even the most tortured know "that choosing to live can mean so much more than not dying."
Speaking from personal experience here, despite this book being very hard for me to read, I will hand sell this to others, because only light can dispel the darkness, and powerful storytelling like this is a very rare thing.
All of that aside, if you're looking for an amazing psychological thriller that is impossible to put down, get a copy of this book and set aside some time because you will NOT put it down until you are done.
Bravo to Stephanie Kuehn.

County comes up short in bid for NASCAR track
Kitsap County has apparently come up a few laps short in its pursuit of a NASCAR facility, as owner International Speedway Corp., has expressed a preference for the Marysville area.
They have taken us off of the table, Kitsap Regional Economic Development Council director David Porter confirmed on Monday. They are committed to making Marysville work.
While Kitsap lost this bid, it is no loser, according to Porters perspective.
We made a world-class try, he said. The community came together with energy and commitment. We have a lot to be proud of. We raised the bar and proved we could play world class games.
While this would appear to leave Kitsap and Pierce out in the cold, the also-rans have yet to accept defeat.
South Kitsap Commissioner Jan Angel, one of the biggest NASCAR boosters in county government, said she had a plan B for the property that she was not yet ready to reveal.
Additionally, she said choices with regard to NASCAR arent always final and that she would not give up on KItsap until ground was broken elsewhere.
Angel said that just because Snohomish County received the first bit it didnt mean the track would be constructed there.
Snohomish, in fact, has seen a greater amount of potential citizen protests than Kitsap.
This summer, the county sponsored citizen survey showed overwhelming favor for the track, and no organized protest has emerged.
Angel reported only one negative comment of several dozen received.
North Kitsap Commissioner Chris Endresen said she didnt expect any vocal protest until the submission of an actual proposal.
Both Central Kitsap Commission-er Patty Lent and Angel said that all the preparation done to accommodate NASCAR could benefit another interested party should the racing organization select another nearby site.

So I am laying down nursing the little one, she does her usual latch on, come off, cry, go back on, nurse for like three minutes, come off, back on....and so on, finally I say "this is bullcrap Lena, stop it I'm tired of it" in my stern I mean business voice. And she just looks at me and grins. Another gripe of mine....why do people always put their two cents in about
"maybe its time to switch her over to formula" that just makes me instantly mad, yes I get up at three am to feed my baby,even though she is six months old I am sure that formula might solve that problem, but I would much rather be able to say, I didn't give in to the pressures to take the easy way out. Oh and another one, How come the only nursing bras they sell are white, nude or sometimes black, is there any pretty ones out there? Sorry for complaining, guess my period is coming

EAST GRAND RAPIDS -- Cut, color, curl. Bend, flex, hold the tree pose.
Hair dressing and soul-soothing yoga are teaming for an unusual business pairing on the second floor of Jade Pig's new Gaslight Village stores at 2213 Wealthy St. SE.
After opening 14 months ago, Seva Yoga owner Michele Fife has doubled her space at Suite 220, incorporating three beauty-salon chairs operated by stylist Daniel Dauser, who also teaches yoga.
Cut-and-color clients usually are surprised to find themselves walking into the lobby of a yoga studio.
And the yoga students are in for an even bigger surprise, when they turn the wrong way out of yoga class and stumble onto Dauser and another hairdresser quietly going about their hair styling.
The two businesses make an effort to complement each other. The salon, for example, only takes cut and color appointments because they're quiet and odor-free, in keeping with a yoga studio.
Fife, 43, said it was Dauser's brainstorm to combine the two.
She had urged Dauser, 44, to take on more classes as her studio enrollments quickly grew. Dauser was tired of traveling to two salons.
"I thought, 'There's got to be a way to focus my attention under one umbrella,' " Dauser said. "We needed to be larger and, as long as we needed to do that, why not add a chair?"
He offered to come in as a partner, sharing Fife's investment as they moved from a 780-square-foot space to one with 1,760 square feet, in exchange for incorporating the salon chairs and a wash basin.
Fife said her business now strives for "inner beauty and outer beauty."
"We knew the hair clients would gravitate toward the yoga class," she said. "We knew (the uses) would balance and support each other."
Customer Joyce Bromberg said her hairdresser tried to get her to try yoga, and it was her last appointment with stylist Dauser that did it.
"Place can sometimes provide context," said Bromberg, who is director of research for Steelcase's WorkSpace Futures. Being able to see the salon side by side with the studio "was just easy for me. Just being in that environment. It was just the nudge I needed."
Seva Yoga's revenues have doubled since it opened in the new space, and the staff has gone from three to eight, said Fife, who has taught yoga since 1996.
The studio offers 25 classes on site with other classes at East Grand Rapids High School and Spectrum Health sites.
Fife and Dauser also believe in paybacks, which is why they host a Sunday night yoga class for cancer patients.
"We want to make a small impact on the Earth but a big impact on the community in a positive way," Fife said.

First Baptist Christian School is collecting school supplies for an orphanage in Panama. The Ngobe-Bugle is an extremely poor native people living mainly in the distant parts of Western Panama.
wo cottages have been built by a mission team to serve as an orphanage. Since the Ngobe people have the lowest percent of literacy at 64 percent as compared to Panama's overall 92 percent, FBCS would like to send school supplies to these children.
FBCS is asking each grade to collect designated supplies. All grades are being asked to send in new and gently used backpacks and calculators.
Pens, pencils, handheld pencil sharpeners, folders, scissors, glue sticks, crayons, colored pencils, lined paper, one subject notebooks, rulers, pencil boxes and Spanish/English dictionaries also are being collected.
Items will be collected Jan. 24.
Donations of supplies and money to help with shipping costs also will be greatly appreciated. Make checks payable to FBCS. For more information, visit www.fbcseagles.com.
Supporters also are asked to keep the mission team and the Ngobe-Bugle people in your prayers.
