STRONGSVILLE -- The wait is finally over for residents eager for a grocery store on the north side of the city.
The new Wal-Mart Supercenter, 8585 Pearl Road, officiallyopened at 8 a.m. Sept. 2. The new store has a full line of groceries and a wide assortment of new products and services, store manager Jerry Ginter said.
"We have a loyal customer base and some have been shopping here since our original opening (in 1995)," he said. "We think they'll love the easy-to-shop layout of the store and appreciate the savings we offer on the products they are looking for."
The Supercenter officially opened with a ribbon-cutting attended by Strongsville Mayor Thomas Perciak, Economic Development Director Gene Magocky, Ward 1 Councilman Michael Daymut and Councilman at-large Ken Dooner.
The Wal-Mart Foundation distributed $13,550 to local non-profits during the opening. The recipients were Veterans of Foreign Wars, Habitat for Humanity, The Up Side of Downs (a support group for families of children with Downs syndrome), Achievement Center for Children ( an agency for special needs children), Strongsville Emergency Food Bank and Strongsville City Schools.
Daymut told said he was impressed with the new store and he has received positive feedback from Ward 1 residents.
"Everyone I've spoken with has been quite impressed," he said. "Many of the families who live in nearby subdivisions were quite a distance from a full-service grocery store.
Daymut hopes the Supercenter will bring other new businesses to the area.
"This is the first step for the revitalization of the area in and around Whitney, Sprague and Pearl roads," he said. "The Wal-Mart is a good anchor location that will hopefully attract new businesses around it."
The store, currently employs 375 associates and will add 125 new jobs, Ginter said. The new addition added 55,569 square-feet to the store.
The main addition to the Supercenter is the grocery section featuring a bakery, a deli serving fresh food and hot meals, meat and dairy products, fresh produce and a full liquor department.
Like all new Wal-Mart stores, Strongsville uses energy-efficient technology and environmentally friendly features, media relations manager Kelly Cheeseman said.
The store's skylights store sunlight, reducing the amount of energy required to light the store by 75 percent per day.
Low-flow toilets and faucets reduce the water used in the bathrooms. The entire store also features a new layout and updated design.
The improvements are designed to provide faster service, a friendlier environment and a cleaner store.
"The layout of the stores is easy to navigate, which will save customers time as they shop for everyday necessities at our unbeatable prices," Ginter said. "By grouping the products that our customers most often purchase we are making one-stop shopping even easier."
The new layout creates an open shopping environment with wider aisles that contain no product displays. Lower shelves and signs with directions will help customers quickly find what they are looking for, he added.

The Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was told yesterday that the last 12 Premier League goals scored by Newcastle have all come from French players, and this season Papiss Cisse and the two Ameobi brothers have each scored one goal each, but they were in the Capital One Cup.
Papiss Cisse – had two or three decent chances on Saturday
Alan Pardew responded to the goals scored in the Premier League by Newcastle, and they have come from Loic Remy, Ben Arfa, Yoan Gouffran and Yohan Cabaye.
"We have a group of players who are very good." "It's just strange that the French guys are getting goals."
Of course we do have a lot of French players in the squad and up front too, so it's not really that strange, but we need to see players like Papiss Cisse start getting on the goals trail.
And hopefully in the World Cup qualifying game coming up between Senegal and the Ivory Coast later this week, he can find out what it's like to score a goal again.
If Newcastle are going to start climbing the league from our current 11th place, we need the Senegal man to be sharper in front of goal.
And while Papiss and Demba Ba never really played well together at Newcastle, since Ba left for Chelsea in January, Cisse has gone off the boil, and maybe the physical presence of Ba up front is what Cisse is missing?
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Ginger Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
Tender strips of chicken, and hot, crisp vegetables combined with an Asian inspired sauce is one of the easiest and most popular ways that I get dinner on the table. Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables to use in a stir fry. The florets hold so much sauce and each bite is full of flavor. The oyster sauce in this recipe adds a savory note that we all enjoyed.
Most of our Asian dishes incorporate a bit of heat or spice, however this is a very flavorful and delicious dish that my whole family enjoyed without any heat at all. If you're like me and can't have too many easy stir-fry dinners, here are a few more you'll want to save for later!
Ginger Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce
recipe loosely adapted from Cooking Canuck
(printable recipe)
3 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 1 1lb, cut into 1/2" strips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
3" piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped very small, about 3 tablespoons minced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 bunch of broccoli, cut into small florets, about 4 cups florets
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch
Optional: 1-2 cups of baby mushrooms, halved as desired
Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and arrowroot. Set aside.
In a very large skillet or wok, warm the oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring or tossing frequently, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Add the ginger, green onions, garlic, broccoli and mushrooms if desired. Cook, stirring or tossing constantly, until the pan is fragrant and the broccoli turns bright green, about 2-3 minutes.
Add water to the mixture and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up all the browned bits. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 1 minute. Serve over rice if desired. Enjoy!

By Ed Anderson
and Jan Moller
Capital bureau
BATON ROUGE -- Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Wednesday she will take a hard line against tax cuts and tax credits lawmakers are proposing for the session that begins Monday by budgeting no more than $150 million of the breaks for individuals and businesses.
Blanco said although the state has a $827 million surplus from the previous fiscal year and $1.22 billion in excess revenue projected for the fiscal year that ends June 30, legislators should be "very careful" in approving tax breaks.
"Our tax cuts will be on the modest side," said Blanco, who announced last month that she will not seek re-election. "I would rather not pass on a financial struggle to the next administration."
In a lengthy briefing on her legislative agenda, Blanco outlined about $133 million in tax cuts, leaving what she called a little room for some growth or miscalculations. "I don't think we should go over $150 million," she said.
Lawmakers have filed bills seeking hundreds of million of dollars of tax breaks, including the repeal of a tax plan adopted in 2002 that shifted the burden from a sales tax to the income tax, hitting harder on the middle- and upper-income brackets. The system, known as the Stelly Plan after its chief sponsor, former Rep. Vic Stelly of Lake Charles, should not be jettisoned, the governor said.
She said that tax plan is working as it should by growing as income grows. "If they want to take some modest steps toward it, step it down, I think that would be wiser than trying to take the whole thing down," Blanco said.
Blanco's wish list
The credits she said she will endorse for the session include:
*A $45.7 million refundable child tax credit of $100 per child.
*A $44.4 million "school readiness tax credit" for parents who send children younger than 6 to a day-care center, day-care center operators and personnel who improve their skills and facilities, and employers who provide or support child care.
*A $6.8 million, five-day state sales tax holiday in August for back-to-school shopping, including supplies and uniforms.
*About $4.6 million in economic development sales tax exemptions, including tax breaks for the expansion of the General Motors plant in Shreveport and $3 million for businesses that invest in low-income areas.
*A $36 million decrease in the sales tax on utilities charged to businesses.
Blanco's 2007-08 budget includes more than $1 billion in proposed new spending, the vast majority of which is targeted to education, health care and pay raises for government workers.
Administration officials said they can pass all those items without affecting the constitutional cap on spending, which ties the growth of state budgets to Louisianians' personal income. Under the way the cap is now calculated, spending can grow by $1.3 billion over current levels without a two-thirds majority vote of lawmakers to raise the cap.
But Republican leaders favor a more restrictive interpretation of the spending limit, which would allow only $543 million in new spending during the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Big-ticket proposals
Lawmakers will be asked to bust the current-year spending limit to direct $827 million in surplus dollars to build roads ($450 million), fight coastal erosion ($200 million) and make repairs to college and university buildings (about $77 million).
Another $100 million has been penciled in to help lure a German steel mill to the state. Lawmakers in a December special session put $300 million in a special fund to help make infrastructure improvements to the proposed site in St. James Parish.
Alabama, Louisiana's only competition for the plant, has anted up $400 million for the plant and other economic development projects.
Commissioner of Administration Jerry Luke LeBlanc, Blanco's chief budget architect, said he expects to get two-thirds legislative support for the items to be financed by the $827 million surplus because it involves "one-time" spending that won't affect the budget in future years.
The governor said she has "not gotten a lot of pushback" from the GOP on the spending plan, even on the use of some of the excess revenue this year. "Some have told us they are not going to play (spending) cap games," she said.
Rep. Jim Tucker, R-Algiers, co-chairman of the Republican Legislative Delegation, said he thinks there can be some compromises. "I think there is some middle ground if we can ever get together and talk about it."
Tucker said the administration has made overtures to him about a meeting with the GOP leadership but has not gotten back to him on a time or place for a meeting.
Educational spending
Blanco said she has also set aside in her budget $611 million for educational needs, including $156.4 million to bring public school teacher salaries to the Southern regional average, $32.8 million to raise the pay of school support workers and an additional $30 million for preschool programs for 4-year-olds to better prepare them for school.
Blanco said she also will ask lawmakers to approve $15 million to start a "needs-based" scholarship and grants program for lower-income students. She said the $15 million could accommodate about 11,000 students and help defray the costs of fees and tuition by $1,000 a year for part-time college students and $2,000 a year for full-time students.
She said she also will seek a $30 million for pay raises for college instructors; a $1,500-a-year pay raise for state employees, estimated to cost $142.6 million; $35 million for corrections, probation and parole officers; and a $1,500 increase in supplemental pay to local police officers and firefighters that will cost about $28.3 million.
Blanco's package also includes:
*Authorizing the state-run Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. to bid out to private insurers in "bundles" of at least 500 policies at a time as a way to reduce its 142,000 homeowners policies.
*An insurance "bill of rights for consumers" requiring insurance companies to spell out what is and is not covered.
*Mandatory insurance rate reductions for homeowners who take steps to renovate their homes against hurricanes.
*A program to grant $100 million to insurance companies who match dollar for dollar what the state puts up.
*Authority for insurance companies to set deductibles by zones. State law now requires that deductible changes must apply uniformly across the state.

Name* Email* Your name* Your email* Comments Submit HALIFAX - A Nova Scotia man has been convicted of murder in the 2007 beating death of Philip Love. Shane Ward, 35 and his brother Matthew Ward, 34, were both charged with second-degree murder, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. On Monday, a Nova Scotia Supreme Court jury found Shane Ward guilty on all counts, but his brother was convicted only of assault. Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence, but Justice Felix Cacchione asked the jury to deliberate a recommendation for parole eligibility. They came back with no recommendation and the judge then asked for a pre-sentence report for Shane Ward before his next court appearance on April 1. Love was beaten inside his Halifax-area home on Jan. 8, 2007. He suffered critical head injuries and died a week later in hospital.

Although it's a cliché, small ideas can often bring about big things. The North Plains Jingle, to be held Tuesday, came about because a few folks, led by the Brian Beinlich family, brought holiday caroling to town. Former Mayor Cheri Olson picked the idea up, and the next year the Jingle was born.
Now in its sixth year, the Jingle is regularly one of the city's best
attended citizen events. It includes a holiday lighting contest, a parade
through town and a celebration.
The holiday lighting contest requires registration available at West Coast Bank. This year, people in every part of the city can enter, because chamber board members will do the judging Dec. 7, and there is no longer concern about bringing the parade through more difficult sections of town. The chamber has also decided that contest winners can no longer win in consecutive years.
The Jingle itself begins at 6:30 p.m. at Jessie Mays Community Center. Participants should bring a decorated tracker, 4-wheeler or any motorized vehicle and be prepared to sing, toss candy to onlookers, and have a great time before returning to Jessie Mays for Santa, treats and good cheer. Golf carts are available for rent.

The possibility of both the boys' and girls' bowling teams ending the regular season undefeated is within reach, as both teams have already clinched at least a share of the Big Nine championship.
With the girls' 22-8 victory over Grand Blanc. Jan. 26, Davison (8-0) needs a victory over Carman-Ainsworth Saturday to win the Big Nine championship for the second straight year.
Seniors Sam Deaton and Kelly Harwell admitted they talked about finishing the Big Nine undefeated, a feat the boys' team accomplished two years ago, but with two weeks remaining in the regular season they don't want to get ahead of themselves.
"Coming into the season, we knew we had everyone coming back and there is no question we have taken our game to the next level," Deaton said. "This team heads into a match never knowing we are going to win, so we have to keep our guard up. We believe in our abilities."
"As the season progressed, we started getting our confidence," Harwell said. "We are pretty solid 1-5, but we have to keep up the intensity and keep believing in ourselves. There is no doubt we want to win regionals again and make it to state and do well."
All year long the Davison girls' team has been a dominant group.
Against Grand Blanc, Davison fought back after losing the first Baker match 191-127 to go on and win the match behind some clutch bowling from Christene McInerney and Deaton. McInerney finished the day with games of 215 and 195 for a 410 two-game series. Deaton had games of 204 and 196 for the Cardinals. Jennifer Cozart chipped in a 211 game.
The Cardinals avenged an early season tie Jan. 26, defeating the Bobcats 25-5.
Kyle McInerney had games of 224 and 279 for a two-game series of 503. Joey Hoover would add games of 227 and 247 for Davison.

Considering personal net worth is a function of income and expenses, I'd have to agree with Uncephalized in terms of the technical definition of net worth, which is total assets - total debt.
If you have positive net worth, your income and expenses are the moving part that helps it jump up and down, potentially into the negatives. If your assets suddenly decline in level to a point that it is outshadowed by debt, it's your own fault for investing in that certain asset in the short term. Although liquidity is king right now, if you know how to time things correctly and manage your ffinances, your net worth shouldn't fluctuate to the red during a financial crisis. But this is assuming you had a good chunk of assets to work with to begin with.

My little man is now 8 months old in about 16 days he will be 9 months old.
Well Today I had one of my "first run ins" with the boss on pumping. Before it was wait till "dads" outtat the office, or his dad"who is older and has hardly any health issues, has a case of gout, and then hes like ugh you have to wait till he comes out.
WEll for about a little over a week now "i only work 3 days a week, so for about the last 5 days of work I had change up my pumping time. 1 because it works better for us that share the office in my opinion. Because the other person doesnt leave untill 9 am. I used to pump at 8:30, then every three hours from then on out.
Now I just wait till Mr. K is outta the office and do what I gotta do, Which is just about 10 am or 9ish, So I wait till 10. Then I do my every 3 hours
Well today the "Boss" man was like dad will be back shortly so why the change. Ugh kinda a change in schedual. "me and mr k were good. but this guy doesnt care, even though hes never been to big a bother for the pumping situation.

SO what do you ladies think???
ALSO, I know that me pumping has been a stick some times to the boss man, Its not been said but there have been a few incidences where remarks were made and things like that, But never a I have a problem with this...

Since Washington doesn't do a thing about the federal budget until the very last minute, or even later, why are lawmakers so intent on cutting Social Security benefits? The fund has a multitrillion-dollar surplus, which will continue to grow until 2022. I find it hard to believe that Washington is looking out for us beyond 2033, when the fund is projected to become insolvent. The fund will need more money in the future, and the retirement age will have to be raised simply because people are living longer, but cutting benefits now cannot be tolerated.
Something just isn't right here. If they think that cutting Social Security is going to be easy because we're old, they had better guess again.

The Portland Timbers prepared for the arrival of new coach Caleb Porter by making major moves on their roster.
Sources have confirmed that the Timbers acquired midfielder Will Johnson from Real Salt Lake and outside defender Michael Harrington from Kansas City in two separate trade deals. The Timbers also traded outside back Kosuke Kimura to New York. The Timbers sent allocation money to Real Salt Lake and Kansas City for Johnson and Harrington and received allocation money for Kimura.
Johnson scored three goals and added three assists while starting in 23 of his 26 appearances in 2012. Johnson completed his sixth season in Real Salt Lake in 2012 and has been an important part of Real Salt Lake's annual quest for the MLS Cup for the past five seasons. Johnson played in Real Salt Lake's win in the 2009 MLS Cup championship game, has experience in MLS playoff and CONCACAF Champions League games.
Harrington, 26, is a six-year veteran who can play at either left or right back. Harrington appeared in 11 games last season in Kansas City, but had started in 29 of 29 games played during the 2009 season.
Harrington's arrival and versatility opens the question of the status of outside backs Steven Smith and Lovel Palmer. Smith's performances improved toward the end of the regular season, but the Timbers were frustrated with Palmer's inconsistency, who was benched from his right back position early in the 2012 season.
Kimura, acquired in trade with Colorado July 5, played at right back in 17 games in 2012. While he displayed good pace going forward, he was consistently beaten on the wing.

Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to work with amazing people and organizations from all over the world. Below are some highlights and information.
Creative Cities Summit – The conference I co-founded and continue to produce. We have produced three events and are currently in discussions for a fourth Summit in 2012. For more info, click here.
AMBIT Northern Ireland – From 2007-2010 I worked with Northern Ireland's Human Relations Council and the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action on a remarkable community development project. Every year, they would select a dozen leaders from both the Protestant and Catholic communities from across Northern Ireland. They would represent the public, private and voluntary sectors. The delegates were brought to the United States for a two-week learning tour to various cities. I would build the content and program and travel with the delegation as their American liason. Once here we would take them to see various people and organizations that were examples of best practices in community, social and economic development. Over the years we visited Washington DC, Baltimore, Newark, Philadelphia, Chicago, Memphis, Austin and Tampa Bay to see and hear about great projects from the people making them happen. Over the years I got to see amazing connections made between people that crossed sectarian lines and laid the framework for reconciliation and cooperation between the communities. Truly this was one of the most important and rewarding projects I have ever worked on.
European Clusters of Cultural Enterprises (ECCE) – In the summer of 2009, I was asked to work with the Creative Industries Development Agency (CIDA) in the UK on an EU funded project to build innovation capacity in the creative industries sector. In this first year of the project, we received training from the amazing Enterprise Development Group and I became a certified innovation coach and trainer. From that point, the project involved working directly with creative industry businesses to build their internal capacity and innovation capability. For the initial phase of the project, our work centered on the northwest area of England in the cities of Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster.
Charles Landry & the Art of City Making – In 2009 I produced, directed and shot this documentary film about Creative City's founder Charles Landry. Filmed over several months, two continents and three countries, the film looks at the man and the work he has done for over 20 years. Ranging from walking the streets in the UK to historic Savannah, Georgia to his 400 year old home in the Cotswolds, here we see the origins of his work, his inspirations and insights into the future of cities. Featuring Dr. Richard Florida, John Howkins, Carol Coletta, Pier Giorgio Di Cicco.
Creative Class Group – From 2009 through 2010 I was a blogger for Richard Florida's Creative Class Group and was part of their speakers/facilitator team through 2012.
Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City – In 2008 and 2009 I worked with Toronto's amazing Artscape organization on their seminal conference, Creative Places + Spaces. As co-producer, I worked with them on everything from content, programming and logistics. They put together an amazing team of players that included the City of Toronto, the Martin Prosperity Institute, MARS and the University of Toronto. Speakers included Richard Florida, Sir Ken Robinson, David Buckland and Spencer Tunick.

Let me try this another way. Forget computers for a minute.
If I get into a car with James... and James is driving... and James accidentally runs us off the road and hits a barn... James is responsible. I'm not held liable.
So... back to the computer now... IF the computer is driving the car, what makes the computer any different than James? Why do I suddenly become responsible for my driverless/computer car if it gets in an accident when I'm clearly not the driver and not in control of the car any more than I am when James was driving?
Until they clear that hurdle, I don't even want to consider it.
While I agree with you in principle some law maker will probably say you are responsible because you chose to put the vehicle into driverless mode.

OTSEGO, MI -- In Jones, Swiss Valley Ski and Snowboard Area's snowline message of March 11 says the resort has closed for the season.
In Gobles, Timber Ridge ski resort has closed for the season, too-- its recorded message wishes skiers a happy summer.
But in Otsego, it's business-as-better-than-usual at Bittersweet Ski Resort, where the recorded snow conditions telephone line boasts of up to a 40-inch base covered by fresh snow.
More snow is in the forecast, and continued cold temperatures, according to the National Weather Service.
Bittersweet, which closed for the season March 18, re-opened Wednesday afternoon, March 20, and plans to continue through 8 p.m. Sunday, March 25.
"We are all excited," said Bittersweet general manager Victor Gayheart. "This is a bonus."
Gayheart said that because the resort is a seasonal business, its insurance is only good through March 26, ample time in most years to get the season wrapped up.
But the current snow conditions were simply too good to resist, Gayheart said.
"The conditions are perfect," he said. "This is the kind of stuff you get in December.
I don't think anyone saw this coming."
He said that normal conditions in March are wet and a little slushy. But this time, "it's dry, it's perfect."
That's no guaranteed that droves will turn out to ski, he said. Just as boaters tend to bring the boat in off the water every Labor Day weekend, no matter what the weather, skiers tend to move on to other pursuits as spring break approaches.
That may be better news for those who do come out-- great snow without the crowds and lines of December, Gayheart said.
That is true for workers, too, he said. "We're going to try to get as many workers in as we can, because it's easier to send them home if we don't need them" than to call them in if they do, he said. Workers often volunteer to leave early and join the skiers on the slopes, he said.
"Workers are happy to volunteer to ski instead of work," he said.
The resort will open at 3 p.m. Thursday through 10 p.m.; and be open Friday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m..
The season up until now has been better than last year's by about 10 percent, Gayheart said, even with scant snow in December and early January.
The extra week "could be a big one," he said. " I honestly think we'll get between 1000 and 1200 skiers Saturday.

You should be telling Nintendo, not us. You are aware this is an unofficial Wii forum, right?
New to these problems and unfortunately here to report a problem with our Wii. Have had the machine since christmas and it has recently been showing graphical glitches. These get worse the more intense the 3D action - doesnt affect the video or static (picture) images. It is not game related as it appears on the main channel menu aswell as all games we have (Zelda , Rayman etc). .
Thought it might be heat related so have put the machine back vertical and turned of Wiiconnect. .
Any or ideas or is it back to the shop for a replacement??
Any advice welcome. .
You should be telling Nintendo, not us. You are aware this is an unofficial Wii forum, right?

Rented: Rayman Raving Rabbids [6G, 7R, 9P].
Wanted: Resident Evil 4, no Wii games currently.
G = Gameplay Rating, R = Replay Value, P = Party Rating, all out of 10.
Sorry - I thought this forum was a place where you could ask for help or advice from fellow Wii owners??Originally Posted by MaXiMiUS
. . .and yes I was aware it wasn't an official forum. .
So does your reply indicate that a replacement is quite likely needed and that it is probably a hardware fault. . I was really interested to see if anyone else had experienced such problems. . .
yes you most likely need a replacement. SOunds like your graphics chip may be giving away.
TRUE Nintendo fanboys should own an Xbox 360 just so you can play the third installment of Banjo and Kazooie
yeah you should just send it in to get it replaced. Also you said you put it vertical to have better heat management. Well, correct me if im wrong, but i believe that it will run cooler if it is in the horizontal position. If you find out that it is heat related you could always get a stand like this, http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-wii-...ssentials.html
Hi antonyjcross,Originally Posted by antonyjcross
What did you do to fix this ? I have random dots showing up on my screen, especially when playing Zelda or looking at the Forecast Channel.
Did you end up sending it to Nintendo ?
My Wii runs a lot cooler if it's lying flat. Makes sense really. In the vertical position all the heat is concentrated in a smaller area. When it's lying flat, the heat is spread out across a larger surface area for better dissipation.
Not that it gets particularly hot in any case, just runs cooler lying on it's side. I doubt overheating is the cause of your problem, but gotta be worth a try.
Safer in the vertical position due to less surface area and better ventilation

SanMar to fill 150 openings at Preston facility
PRESTON - Wholesale apparel supplier SanMar Corp. announced last week that it plans on hiring 150 sales account executives at its Preston facility in 2004. Company officials said it is likely 12 positions will be filled per month.
Account executive shifts are from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and starting pay is $12.50 an hour. The positions involve working with assigned accounts to develop and maintain professional partnership in order to generate increased activity and profits. Duties include answering incoming calls and e-mails, and assisting customers with questions regarding products.
"SanMar was founded in Seattle in 1971 as a T-shirt supplier and continues to prosper due to high-level customer service, innovative products and marketing tools for customer use," said Lee Strom, senior marketing manager.
In 1971, Marty Lott began the company as a college project out of his father's building in downtown Seattle. Three years later he hired his first employee, and in 1975 the company moved into a space in Pioneer Square.
By the mid '80s, the company reached 50 employees and introduced its first catalog. In the 1990s, the company was taking 1,000 orders a day and still expanding.
Today SanMar is one of the largest imprintable sportswear suppliers in the United States and employs more than 600 people.
SanMar recently expanded further with new distribution centers in Jacksonville, Fla. and Dallas, Texas. SanMar operates three other distribution centers in Cincinnati, Ohio; Reno, Nev.; and Cranbury, N.J.
The company has more than 1.25-million square feet of distribution space and provides two-day shipping to 70 percent of the continental United States.
For employment information, interested applicants should visit www.sanmar.com or call (206) 727-3330.

The Cardinals became the first Federal Way National Little League baseball team to win the District 10 Majors Tournament of Champions since 1989 Tuesday with a 6-0 victory over the Soundview LL Elite in the 12-and-under title game in Enumclaw.
"This is a special 12-year-old class of player that had the opportunity to play in three of the past four Tournament of Champions tournaments," said head coach John Sugg. "They've had a great run through their youth baseball experiences, and they will be players that will continue to work hard and compete playing at a higher level."
The shutout of Soundview completed a perfect 26-0 season for the Cardinals, who also beat the champions of Kent Little League and Auburn during the Tournament of Champions.
In the title game Tuesday, the Cardinals got an epic game from Tommy Davis. Davis struck out 17 of the 18 possible outs and allowed only one hit during the 6-0 shutout.
"It was one of the best pitching performances that you will ever see at this level," Sugg said. "He had all his pitches working and had the batters guessing the whole game."
Davis also hit a three-run home run in the third inning, knocking in Connor Ellingson and Zak Gregg to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.
Federal Way added two more runs in the fourth on RBI singles from Gregg and Nate Clow. The Cardinals finalized the scoring in the sixth on another RBI from Clow.
Federal Way's run started with a 12-1 win over the Kent Patriots Saturday. Davis and Clow combined on the mound to give up just three hits while striking out nine. Offensively, Nic Orr and Davis both connected on three-run home runs and nine different players collected hits for the Cardinals.
The best game of the tournament came in the semifinals when Federal Way beat the Auburn Angels, 5-4, on Monday.
Auburn took a 4-0 lead after the second inning before Federal Way battled back to steal the victory. Clow got things going with a two-run home run in the fourth inning and cut the lead to 4-3 on an RBI single by Spencer Sugg in the fifth.
Down to their last three outs, the Cardinals got a single from Clow, which was followed by a clutch two-out double to tie the score at 4-4. The winning run was scored when Jordan Jones stole home.
In the bottom of the sixth, Clow relieved starter Gavin Knapp and shut the Angels down in order. Knapp threw the first five innings, striking out six.
"It was a great season for the team," Sugg said. "Our goals never included winning all our games. Our goals were just to work hard and get better each week and play our best baseball at the end of the season."
The Cardinals players include Tommy Davis, Gavin Knapp, Zak Gregg, Joey Mullarky, Jordan Jones, Nic Orr, Connor Ellingson, Adam Taylor, Cole Bakker, Spencer Sugg, Nate Clow, TJ Rincon and Elijah Bakam. They are managed by Sugg, who is assisted by Steve Pearson, Jim Knapp, Jim Ellingson and Bryan Bakker.

Franklin Mint Merging Main Line Health in Pa.
The $600 million Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union of Broomall, Pa. announced an agreement to merge the $52 Main Line Health Employees FCU of Bryn Mawr in a deal to be completed in the third quarter.
John D. Unangst, president/CEO of FMFCU, stressed the consolidation is still subject to regulatory and member approval and is one that removes member overlap and service duplication following a local hospital merger.
"This is a positive merger of two very healthy credit unions and is not done like some of those XYZ bank mergers you read about to take care of depleted capital," declared Unangst.
Discussions began last year, said Unangst, and have proceeded in 2010 as both CUs perceive economies of scale by consolidating duplicate software systems. FMFCU had already been handling mortgage processing services for Main Line.
Main Line, formed in 1976, has three branches and 16 employees. Branches are located at Lankenau, Bryn Mawr and Paoli Memorial Hospitals. Franklin Mint also has health employees in its FOM.
FMFCU has 28 branch locations, nine of which are in local hospitals and five in Philadelphia area high schools.
Frank Dougherty, Main Line president/CEO, said its board "selected FMFCU as a merger partner because our core philosophy matches their philosophy. In addition, FMFCU current branch locations most matched where our 7,000 members live."

Boise State has called your out, Big Ten. What are you going to do about it?
The above linked article details the fact that Boise State has offered themselves up to ten different BCS schools as an opponent in 2011. Apparently, the little school from Idaho is willing to come to your house just so they can play one of the "big boys". They're not looking for a home-and-home, they just want to come play.
Michigan is rumored to be one of the schools contacted. They passed.
Apparently the "Leaders and the Best" don't want to tarnish their image by
losing to playing a WAC school.
Is there no one in the Big Ten willing to step up and play the Broncos?
I'll admit, Boise State presents an interesting dilemma. Unfortunately, the majority of a school's fan base is not familiar with or educated about Boise's recent football prowess. They're still "some WAC school" that any legitimate Big Ten team should easily defeat. Of course, real college football fans know the challenges the Broncos posses. If things continue to follow their current course, Boise State will be a top-15 team in the country in 2011. A win over them would be a legitimate victory, but maybe only in the eyes of a handful of fans, and the BCS computer.
Think this isn't the case? Then you weren't in Ann Arbor last year as Wolverine fans filled the Big House with howls of "How are we losing to UTAH!?!?" The Utes, by the way, went on to beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and finish #2 in the nation. Yet Michigan fans still hold that loss against Rich Rodriguez.
However, should the ignorance of your fan base trump the fact that this conference desperately needs to actually play and beat someone on a national scale? While Boise State does stand to benefit from the exposure that they'll get playing a Big Ten team, I also think this conference needs Boise State.
Because the Big Ten hasn't beaten anybody of significance since 2006.
The Big Ten's last legitimate out-of-conference win, bowl season or otherwise, came when Ohio State beat Texas 24-7 back in September of '06. Since then, the Big Ten hasn't won a significant game, bowl season or otherwise. They haven't won a Rose Bowl since 2000 when Wisconsin beat Stanford. Since then, Texas has won the Rose Bowl twice.
Let's face it, Boise State has had more success in the BCS than the Big Ten has in the last three years. Respect their conference or not, they are winning when they play the "big boys". The Big Ten isn't.
Michigan will argue they already have Notre Dame on their schedule. But they're missing Penn State in 2011. They could use another big game. Speaking of Penn State, their out of conference schedule has been a joke as of late. Ohio State has been willing to play big games, but they haven't won them in the past three years. Iowa? MSU? Wisconsin? Anyone?
I understand in this day and age of college football, there are plenty of issues to work around to get a game between two high-level programs worked out. But here is a top-15 caliber team asking to come to your house and play you without any reciprocation!
Big Ten apologists will argue that it would be better for teams to schedule opponents from BCS conferences, in order to retain respect for playing "name schools". I've heard suggestions like Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Virginia, South Carolina, and others. Look at those teams listed, do you know what they have in common? None of them can match the football accomplishments of Boise State in the last 5 years.
The Big Ten's national reputation is falling. They aren't beating anybody. Some teams aren't trying to get good games. I'm not saying that any Big Ten team could beat Boise State, but any Big Ten team should consider giving it a shot.
The offer's on the table. Someone needs to step up.

|Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
American education is a kaleidoscope of opportunities, and no theme, however unifying it may appear at first glance, can prevent the many colors from bursting forth. Nor should it, for a false uniformity would harm both teachers and students. The following material reflects this diversity and the intention on the part of seminar leader and Fellows alike that diversity should be enhanced rather than hampered by the classroom experience.
Britain remains a nation important to Americans. The language in which these units were written, and for the most part the language in which our teachers interact with their students, is an inheritance from England. So, too, are many of our literary judgments and certainly our literary classics. But our history too, at least as a discipline, is drawn more from British models than from any other nation, for canons of evidence as employed by the professional historian are, after all, much the same as those of the lawyer, and these in turn were acquired from English common law. Thus the seminar was a wedding of two disciplines deeply rooted in the British tradition, and in approach and content it sought to explore how British history and literature could be made more meaningful to American students today.
The result was several exciting discussions, new insights (for seminar leader fully as much as for the Fellows), and new strategies for the teacher. We had this in common, as well as mutual respect and a good spirit of fun. This spirit can be seen in all these units, ranging from pirates to the Beatles, taking up along the way how history as process may be shown through building a model cannon to the plans of the nineteenth century or how the Western world created stereotypes of Asian cultures and thus shaped foreign policy toward China. We discovered again the seamless web while realizing once more that in the end all of human life—and all the means by which we lead, persuade, goad our students to learn, and they in turn persuade and challenge us as teachers—is also utterly unique.

Hoboken Councilwoman Beth Mason said Motorola donated a generator, which is set up outside Gallery 1200 on Washington Street. Residents can also pick up a free cup of coffee, water and snacks while they wait for their devices to charge.
In addition, the organization is also distributing food, water and blankets to residents living in Hoboken Housing Authority buildings, as well as to senior citizens. Over 225 pizzas from Bergen County pizzerias have been handed out across the city, said one organizer.
"They need personal attention because they don't know what's going on," said Mason. "People in our housing authority literally haven't eaten in three days."

Linked Ajax stopped working?
Hi. This isn't a review request but a call for help. But since the rules say I have to go here if I'm linking to a site....
First, if anyone has a good, active Ajax forum they can recommend, I'd really appreciate it! (I went to the Usenet group comp.lang.javascript first, but they seem overrun by spammers.)
OK, I've a Web page I put together which uses javascript/Google API Ajax to return to the page a display of files the user uploads. It used to work great, and then today I noticed it's no longer working.
Could something have changed with the .js files it's linking to?
It's at
The files still upload to the server just fine, but it's no longer displaying onto the page the result of the browse...upload.
I Googled for the files, but as far as I can tell I'm linking to the latest ones:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/ui-darkness/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
so, maybe that's not the issue...but the fact it worked great, no one on this end touched it, and now it doesn't work, leads me to think it's something on the linked .js end.
I appreciate any help or suggestions!

OK, playing around, just trying different things, I took out the
#example. from all the javascript lines. They didn't seem to make
sense being there as they weren't matching the <p> tags that way. And,
now it works again!
Very perplexing! When I put this page together weeks ago and it
worked, that would mean I would have had to have done the same thing
then. It makes no sense as to how it could have possibly reverted
back. Especially since that page had a LOT of changes made to it AFTER
that core functionality was completed weeks ago, and all THOSE changes
are still intact. So it's not a matter of somehow an older copy of the
page getting reuploaded... that script section itself would have had
to have been intentionally restored to an earlier version with the
rest of the page untouched.
It makes no sense to me at all.
I'd delete this thread if I could find a way to do so... sorry to bother.

Physician Communication
I remember my very first pager vividly, just not fondly. I was a medical student on a surgery rotation at the VA Medical Center and was issued a heavy, bulky device that looked like a cross between a transistor radio and a toaster. It was equipped with a clip that theoretically allowed it to be attached to the waistband of surgical scrubs, an option made impractical by the heft of the device and which led to the risk of inadvertent mooning of bystanders during morning rounds. It was a voice pager, meaning there was no digital read-out, only a squawking speaker that transmitted whatever message was called into the system. Anyone interested in reaching me would simply dial the number … Continue reading
Health Care: A team approach
From friendly faces to clean and inviting spaces, our team at Alegent knows that creating a positive experience for our patients requires a whole lot more than just a good outcome. One smile from a passing nurse, one door held by a volunteer, one warm meal placed in the room – it all adds up. And at Lakeside Hospital, every team member is making it their responsibility to improve every patient's stay. What do YOU look for in a visit to the hospital – or any business, for that matter – to help create a positive experience?
Medical Jargon
Wiki defines jargon as a term that descrcibes the language used by people who work or live in a particular area (such as doctors or Nebraskans respectively). Jargon words are also used by people with a common interest (such as cribbage). There are benefits to the use of jargon: a standard term may be given a more precise or unique usage among practitioners of a field. This allows for better communication among the members of group. The major problem with using jargon is that in many cases this causes a barrier to communication with those not familiar with the language of the field (such as patients).

We describe the broad range of uncertainties faced by the developers of medical technologies. Empirically, we estimate the asset market incidence of two realizations of uncertainties we classify as within-market policy risks. The events we analyze concern the intellectual property of Myriad Genetics, Inc., an American molecular diagnostics firm. In July 2013, the Supreme Court invalidated several of Myriad's intellectual property claims. Subsequently, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services reevaluated the reimbursements it pays for the services at issue in this patent litigation. We estimate that these events substantially moved Myriad's market capitalization, by just under 25 percent in the case of the Supreme Court's decision and nearly 20 percent in the case of CMS's reimbursement rate re-determination. Myriad's exposure to the realization of these intellectual property risks reflects its unusually high reliance on revenues linked to the services at issue. We discuss the implications of these risks for the total volume of medical innovation and for its organization across firms.

As Court Considers Gene Patents, Case May Overlook Relevant Issues – NYTimes.comApril 15, 2013
The Supreme Court is poised to take up the highly charged question of whether human genes can be patented. But another question could trump it: Has the field of genetics moved so far so fast that whatever the court decides, it has come too late to the issue?

The Return of Results in Genetic Testing: Who Owes What to Whom, When, and Why? by Stephanie Alessi :: SSRNMarch 21, 2013
With the advent of large-scale genetic research, discoveries about the human race that never before seemed possible are becoming a reality. To support these scientific discoveries, biobanks catalog library-sized collections of DNA samples and offer researchers access to an increasingly diverse supply of genetic material on which to do research. These stored samples provide the means for studies that, over time, will uncover benefits about which we can now only speculate.
Despite the enormous potential that the future of genetic research holds, the research process has potentially troublesome implications for the human subjects who contribute their genetic materials. Chief among these concerns is the question of what to do with the individual data that arise as a result of genetic research. Genetic material may reveal features of a person that she was not even aware existed, providing potentially useful insight into one's health status that, if available, many individuals would want to know. On the other hand, some people, for moral reasons or otherwise, may prefer not to learn about their genetic predispositions due to the inherent uncertainty of such information. Thus, research design and governance must allow individuals to make their own decisions.
Furthermore, placing a responsibility on researchers to provide their subjects with all theoretically interesting or useful information can detract time and resources from a study's primary purpose. As such, researchers frequently find themselves forced to balance the subjects' personal interests against their research goals. Yet there exist no uniform standards on which either researchers or subjects may rely as they perform this balancing act; there is little guidance for either party as to what information should be communicated. They are thus left with the unanswered question: To what extent is there an ethical obligation, and to what extent should there be a legal duty to return genetic results to a research subject?
This paper balances three competing goals — promoting socially beneficial genetic research, protecting individual health and access to personal information, and protecting individual autonomy and privacy — and proposes the adoption of specific, limited duties regarding planning for, acquiring informed consent about, and reporting genetic results.

Gene Patenting Rights: A Critical Analysis by Pariksha Parmar, Munnazzar Ahmed :: SSRNMarch 21, 2013
"When finally interpreted, the genetic message encoded within our DNA molecules will provide the ultimate answers to the chemical underpinnings of human existence" : A passion for DNA, Genes, Genomes, and Society, James D. Watson, 2 August 1989.
Genes are the medium through which living organisms transmit genetic information from one generation to next. It is our genetic code that make us the unique individuals that we are. The double-helical structure of DNA, initially admired for its intellectual simplicity, today represents to many a double-edged sword that can be used for evil as well as good. Since 1980 after the grant of first patent for living organisms by USPTO in Diamond v Chakrabarty the subject of patents has moved from human-made bacterial microorganisms to human cells to human genes today. Patents encourage invention and innovation but everyone must be careful not to rope off far-reaching areas of patent eligibility.
The patenting of human genetic material raises too opposing ethical questions. At first is it ethically permissible to patent segments of the human genome when these segments represent part of our individual & collective natural heritage & secondly is it ethical to deny patenting parts of human genome given the vast economic resources & human effort expended in identifying it.
The research paper will begin with the legal developments that led to patenting of a bacteria to the patenting of genes in human beings. Further it will discuss the ethical questions that surface with this controversy.The paper will then conclude with the future implication of gene patenting on humanity.

Pigs Fly – The Validity of Gene Patenting vis-a-vis the Myriad Patent Case and Other Cases by Manveer Sandhu, Abhinav Gaur :: SSRNMarch 14, 2013
In the past 20 years, inventions in the field of biotechnology have become a new focus of the patent system, particularly in relation to genetic materials and technologies. For over two hundred years living organisms had been excluded from patent laws; life forms were considered a "product of nature" and not an intellectual result of a human brain.
The non-patentable status of living organisms changed with the 1980 landmark United States Supreme Court case Diamond v. Chakrabarty, wherein, the court decided that a strain of bacteria that had been modified by the insertion of new genes was patentable.
Through this paper, we make an effort to deduce the word "Patent" in its most indispensable form. We analyse the meticulous history of the Patents with the contemporarily done research and development of Bio-technology in the field of Patents. We also analyse and scrutinize the system of DNA patenting followed in India. We also make an effort to put forward as to how the need for patent of Life forms arose with special reference to various cases such as the Myriad case in which the court found the claims of seven patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes invalid, and however the Federal appeals court overturned the ruling of the lower court.
The paper shall explore and give answers to some of the most vital questions such as: Is DNA patenting morally and ethically correct? Is it correct to give ownership of a whole pedigree of living organisms to a person or company? How can the flaws in the DNA patenting system be removed and how can it be made more reliable and made sure that it isn't misused?

Copyright and Trademark Issues in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Generic Compliance or Brand Drug Imitating: 'Copycat or Compliance' by Roseann B. Termini, Amy Miele :: SSRNFebruary 21, 2013
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; that is, unless the imitation is of a product produced by a multi billion-dollar industry. Then, imitation has the potential to involve intellectual property litigation. For the pharmaceutical industry, the majority of intellectual property litigation stems from the interplay between generic or imitator drug and brand name or pioneer drug manufacturers.

Copyrightability of Recombinant DNA Sequences by Dan Burk :: SSRNFebruary 20, 2013
The recent emergence and rapid growth of biotechnology as a commercial industry has raised serious questions concerning the role of patent law as the industry's dominant form of intellectual property protection. Several commentators, drawing on an analogy to computer software protection, have suggested copyright law as an alternative method of protecting recombinant DNA innovation. This article reviews these arguments in light of recent court decisions and scholarly commentary concerning copyright of computer software.
The article argues that copyright law is not sacrosanct, but rather represents a particular scope of proprietary interests that may be used to accommodate the needs of new technologies such as biotechnology. The article asserts, however, that the decision to apply copyright protection to such a technology should be based on policy rather than on analogy. The article reviews the basic characteristics ofboth the science of molecular biology and of the biotechnology industry, and, by contrasting these characteristics to those of the software industry, concludes that, as a matter of policy, copyright is not the most appropriate form of intellectual property protection for biotechnology.

Nokia Russia removes video talking about PureView, Windows Phone and PureView proto
It might mean nothing, but usually when Nokia tries to get videos removed, it's often because there's some substance to it. That or they want to get rid of it because it's misleading (but normally they'd ignore that).
This morning we posted about an odd video from Nokia Russia that seemed to speculate what might be coming at MWC.
Our readers noted the video isn't there anymore.
The video might simply have been talking about last year's MWC (talking about WP coming, the new 808 PureView with 41MP and PureView protos) or it could be they're gearing us up to expect a combined WP PureView 41mp MP Nokia EOS :).
What do you reckon?
BTW, Nokia execs have said last year that in spring, there'll be a Nokia product people will be climbing over each other to get this. The EOS and Catwalk have already been rumoured. So it's not like it's out of the blue or anything. Nokia is focusing their resources on areas they can differentiate, one of which is camera. They have said there's more PureView to come.
Although we saw Lumia PureView in the 920 last September, that was a different breed to the beast in the 808. Whilst PureView V2 is phenomenal in low light, the 808 is no slouch either and destroys all other camera phones in every other department.
