BATON ROUGE — A Board of Regents subcommittee approved a plan Wednesday that would authorize most of the management boards of each university and college system to raise tuition to the southern regional average.
BATON ROUGE — A Board of Regents subcommittee approved a plan Wednesday that would authorize most of the management boards of each university and college system to raise tuition to the southern regional average.
The Board of Regents, which oversees higher education in Louisiana, is expected to consider the plan during next year's regular session on April 8.
Under the proposal, which does not have a legislative sponsor, higher tuition could also be charged for high-cost programs that are in demand, and institutions would be allowed to charge on a per-credit basis rather than a static full-time rate capped at 12 credit hours.
Before the plan was unanimously approved, Regent Bubba Rasberry of Shreveport, chairman of the legislative subcommittee, called it an "enlightened step."
If adopted into law, the University of Louisiana System could theoretically increase tuition at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux. Or, technically, it could choose to do nothing.
Under current constitutional law, both the House and Senate must first approve tuition changes by a two-thirds vote before Louisiana's universities can implement them.
Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, sponsored a constitutional amendment to eliminate the Legislature's tuition approval during this year's regular session, and he plans on resubmitting it in 2013.
During this year's session, his legislation failed on the House floor by a 37-56 vote.
"The climate will be dramatically different next year. With budgets being cut and costs going up, the time has come. We're the only state in the nation that still does this," he said, referring to the Legislature's control over tuition. "We've got to let (the universities) run their own campuses the way they want."
Supporters of the bill said they have a strong case with the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
Its management board was given the authority to raise tuition in 2011, and it has not pushed payments to the southern regional average. That shows the concept can be applied responsibly, boosters contend.
Officials with the Board of Regents said they're also keen on avoiding the same debates that bogged down Harrison's bill.
For example, leadership on the various management boards have agreed to essentially write the TOPS program out of any proposal, meaning the systems would eat the difference in cost between what the scholarship program offers and what tuition might be, if the proposed legislation is enacted.
If Harrison, who said he is not working directly with Regents, resubmits his legislation, it will be the third year in a row he has brought it forward.
However, Harrison's constitutional amendment from the most recent session would have let voters decide whether the Legislature should be stripped of that role.
Some lawmakers argued that it would have created disparities among campuses, depending on how each management system acts.
Representatives from the Patrick Taylor Foundation, a nonprofit education advocacy organization, also noted that an existing law passed by the Legislature, known as the Grad Act, already grants a 10 percent increase for a period of six years.

According to Tax Ordinance of 29th August, 1997, as of July 1, 2016, accounting software used by companies in Poland should generate Standard Audit File in XML format in order to facilitate audits for control purposes.
To meet this requirement in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, there is implemented a new functionality which lets users with primary address in Poland to generate the reports in following formats:
- Schema 1 - Accounting books (KR)
- Schema 2 - Bank statements (WB)
- Schema 3 – Inventory (MAG)
- Schema 4 - VAT sale and purchase registers (VAT)
- Schema 5 - VAT invoices (FA)
These reports in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations are implemented in General Electronic Reporting (GER). Related KB article: # 4014187.
From the 1st of January 2018, companies in Poland are obliged to use a simplified structure of one of SAF-T reports - VAT (JPK_VAT(3)). JPK_VAT for the period of September - December 2017 should be generated in the previously confirmed format version (JPK_VAT(2)).
According to the JPK_VAT(3) format scheme version, the following changes should be accomplished:
- CelZlozenia tag indicates whether the file is submitted for the first time, or if it is an adjustment of a previously transmitted file. The original JPK submission should be marked by reporting a value of "0" in the CelZlozenia tag. Whereas, values from "1" to "999" in the CelZlozenia tag will indicate that the file constitutes the first and subsequent corrections.
- A new mandatory tag called NazwaSystemu should be added to the report.
- Some tags to be removed from the Company address node.
Set up of the new format scheme version JPK_VAT(3) should not replace the previous format scheme version JPK_VAT(2) which should remain available for usage for reporting purposes of September - December 2017 period. Thus, to avoid its accidental loss during the version upgrade, it is recommended to complete the format which was set up and used for your company and save it in XML format using the "Export as XML file" function.
To set up new format scheme version JPK_VAT(3) and use it for reporting in periods of 2018 year, the following steps should be done:
- Don't remove previously set up format for the JPK_VAT(2), it will be used for reporting in period of September - December 2017.
- Download the new format from the LCS: VAT Register PL 3.3.3.xml.
- The format is linked with an updated version of the model: Standard Audit File SAF-T model.version.xml.
- The format is linked with an updated version of the base format: SAF Poland.version.3.3.xml.
- Update your system according to prerequisites of the newly downloaded configurations.
- Select parent "VAT Register (PL)" format in Electronic Reporting and import downloaded files (p.1-3) using the "Load from XML file" function in menu on the Versions fast tab. New versions should appear for: Modal (Standard Audit File SAF-T model.version.3), Base format (SAF Poland.version.3.3) and parent VAT Register (PL) (VAT Register PL 3.3.3).
- Select child "VAT Register (PL)" format in Electronic Reporting, this format is previously created (using Deriveformat function) and includes setup of master date specific for your company.
- Rebase child "VAT Register (PL)" format (with setup of master data of your company) on latest version of the parent format 3.3.3.
- Set up Effective from dates for both: the new format (3.3.3) and the previously used format.
Rebase function will create a new version of the format which will include latest scheme changes as per the JPK_VAT(3) and previously done setup of master data for the child format.
Effective from dates parameter lets the system to determine in the run time which version of the format to be in use taking into account system date.

Summer is synonymous with being carefree. It's a time when sunrays soothe away worries and people take the time to pack up and head for the shore.
But the breezy feeling of lightheartedness is one that settles on the surface. We sometimes forget during the sandy, sunny months that those things that plague the less fortunate during the fall, winter and spring still cling to them in the summer.
The summer is a dreaded time for charitable organizations, and June, July and August are notorious for declines in donations. Food banks, blood banks and other organizations that collect goods for the needy all record slumps in their donations during the summer.
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank said they organize summertime drives specifically to avoid a decreased supply of food come August, when needy school children (between meals from camps and meals from school) are at the most critical point of their year.
According to the Red Cross website, nationwide blood donations were 50,000 units less than projected in June. The result? They now have half the blood products that they did this time last year. Seemingly trivial things like the early start of warm weather and the mid-week celebration of the Fourth of July are what the Red Cross sites as possible reasons for the decrease in donations. Extended vacations contribute to a lack of host sites and donors, they say.
But their website also notes that patients can't take a vacation from needing blood products; that's something the majority isn't mindful of during the warm months.
Locally, the picture is brighter. The Rhode Island Blood Center has conducted a number of blood donation campaigns during the summer, resulting in "one of the best Julys we ever had," said spokesman Frank Prosnitz. "We don't have an option," Prosnitz said. "We need 280 pints a day."
In the winter, we worry about the homeless as the snow falls and the thermometer drops. During Thanksgiving we hope those less fortunate were able to visit a food pantry or soup kitchen for their meal. If we see school children rushing around outside in the cold, we think to donate hand-me-down jackets and scarves. Colder months are a time when everyone is mindful of their own blessings and others' less fortunate circumstances.
But just because it may not be in the forefront of our minds this season does not mean that there isn't still a huge need. Andrew Schiff, the CEO of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, said the need is actually the greatest it has ever been.
Though the temperature has yet to drop, the unemployment rate is still high (and it's a good barometer for the amount of need in the state.) Just because the summer sun has bleached away thoughts of hunger and homelessness doesn't mean those things don't still exist. So before you head out on that final summer trip, stop by your local food pantry, blood bank or shelter and make a donation. It will be a summer activity that warms you in a way sunbathing could never hope to.
Thank you for this thoughtful and timely piece. It's heartening to know that the reporters and editors at the Warwick Beacon understand the realities faced year-round by those in need. Food is a daily need for all of us, every month of the year.

V-Day and SAFER Launch Campus Accountability Project: A Demand for Sexual Assault Policy Reform

New York, NY, December 1, 2009—V-Day and Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) are proud to announce the launch of their joint "Campus Accountability Project: A Demand for Sexual Assault Policy Reform." For the past ten years, both V-Day and SAFER have been helping college and university students organize to fight sexual violence and challenge rape culture on their campuses. By combining forces on the multi-phase Campus Accountability Project (CAP), both organizations hope to empower more students to take an active role in changing the ways in which their campuses prevent and respond to sexual assault, and spark a nationwide dialogue on what schools should be doing to properly educate and protect their students.
Sexual assault on college campuses is a pressing issue. One in four women will survive rape or attempted rape during their college career and rape is the most common violent crime committed on college campuses. Colleges and Universities have the power to change these statistics and foster healthy sexual attitudes on campus by implementing comprehensive and easily accessible sexual assault policies and prevention programs. V-Day and SAFER believe that students have the power to hold their schools accountable for these key provisions and to fight for and win reforms when necessary.
The CAP kicks off this winter as V-Day and SAFER invite college students across the country to become part of the movement by researching their school's current sexual assault policy and providing feedback. Students can register for the V-Day/Safer Campus Accountability Project Database where they will be guided through a thorough policy analysis process, answering questions meant to assess the policy's thoroughness, inclusivity, and adherence to federal law. Once completed, these analyses will be reviewed by staff and submitted to the Database, creating a powerful tool for student activists and administrators to see how their schools match up to peer institutions and what improvements can be made.
After the first batch of policies have been submitted, SAFER trainers will be available for students who want to make changes on their campus. During the 2010–2011 school year, V-Day and SAFER will review the compiled information to assess the state of the nation's campus sexual assault policy's and establish a thorough list of key criteria to effectively prevent, track and respond to sexual assaults on college campuses. We hope to eventually integrate our database into existing college ranking systems, so students and parents have easy access to the information.

A Los Angeles jury on Wednesday found that concert promoter AEG Live was not liable for the death of Michael Jackson, capping a marathon civil trial that laid bare the troubled singer's health problems, struggles with drugs and fateful attempt at a comeback tour.
The verdict came four years after Jackson received a fatal dose of an anesthetic from his doctor as he was about to launch a concert series produced by AEG aimed at reviving his stalled career.
Jackson's mother and three children filed the lawsuit, alleging that AEG was to blame for the King of Pop's death because it was negligent in the hiring and supervision of the doctor, Conrad Murray. AEG argued that Jackson had a history of abusing drugs, including the anesthetic, and was responsible for his own death.
The outcome marked a decisive victory for AEG. The jury was left with five questions that it had to answer affirmatively to find AEG liable. The jury agreed with the first question, that AEG hired Murray. But it rejected the second question, which asked whether Murray was unfit or incompetent. That finding made the rest of the questionnaire moot.
The jury foreman, Gregg Barden, said that the five-month trial was "exhausting" and that the three days of deliberations were "extremely stressful."
"We reached a verdict we understand that not everybody is going to agree with," he said. "There are really no winners in this. Somebody had to die for us to be here … it was really a tragic situation."
Barden said the jury was somewhat confused by the question about Murray's competence but understood its ramifications. "We felt he was competent," he said. "That doesn't mean we felt he was ethical. If ethical was in the question, it might have been a different outcome."
Another juror, Kevin Smith, said he didn't believe AEG could have done anything about Jackson's problems.
The stakes for both the Jackson family and AEG were high. The Jackson family's financial expert testified that Jackson would have earned at least $1.2 billion from merchandise, new music, tours, endorsements and a Las Vegas show had he lived.
The Jacksons wanted AEG to pay his children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, $85 million each and his mother, Katherine, at least $35 million.
Katherine Jackson stared ahead stoically as the verdict was read. She was quickly whisked into another courtroom. She then left from the back of the downtown L.A. courthouse. Several Jackson fans, who had been a constant presence during the trial, responded to the verdict with their own coordinated protest. They took off their T-shirts to reveal other shirts underneath bearing slogans such as "AEG bullies Michael."
Jackson family attorney Kevin Boyle said the family was still considering its next move. "We were able to provoke some things that are important for the Jacksons and for the concert industry and the sports industry," he said. "We are of course not happy with the verdict as it stands."
AEG released a statement expressing vindication. "We lost one of the world's greatest musical geniuses, but I am relieved and deeply grateful that the jury recognized that neither I, nor anyone else at AEG Live, played any part in Michael's tragic death," said Randy Phillips, an AEG executive who was named in the lawsuit.
The jury rejected the idea that Murray was unfit even though the Las Vegas physician was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death and sentenced to jail time.
Valerie Wass, Murray's appellate attorney, said a civil jury's conclusions won't change the doctor's criminal case but could help him in "the court of public opinion."
"Hopefully it will vindicate him in a small way," said Wass, adding that Murray is scheduled to be released from the county's Men's Central Jail in 26 days.
The family's attorney painted a picture of a cold, calculating entertainment company pushing the physician to get Jackson ready to tour even though his health was frail and he was crippled by fear.
"They're going to kill me, they're going to kill me,'" Jackson's eldest son testified, recalling one of his final conversations with his father.
AEG tried turning the tables, all but putting Michael Jackson on trial. They presented witnesses who claimed Jackson had been a drug addict for years, including repeatedly using the powerful anesthetic that would eventually kill him. They also said it was Jackson. not AEG, who hired Murray.
During the trial, jurors got a peek into the private life of one of the world's most famous celebrities. They heard of the chronic pain Jackson suffered as a result of burns he received during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984, which led to his addiction to pain medication. They learned about his vitiligo, a disease in which portions of the skin lose pigment, and how he suffered from painful discoid lupus and keloids.
They were also told about Jackson the doting father and shown home movies he made with his children. Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife, testified about the singer's joy when she told him she was pregnant as they rode her motorcycle. Much of the Jacksons' case was based on emails from AEG executives concerning the singer's apparent downward slide physically and mentally before the concert series was to begin.
In one email, AEG Live executive Paul Gongaware talked about having a meeting with Murray. "We want to remind him it is AEG, not MJ who is paying his salary," Gongaware wrote. "We want him to understand what is expected of him."
In another, written five days before Jackson died, Kenny Ortega, director of the "This Is It" tour, wrote Phillips that the singer was showing "strong signs of paranoia, anxiety and obsessive-like behavior" and should be evaluated by a psychiatrist.
Phillips wrote back, "I had a lengthy conversation with Dr. Murray, who I am gaining immense respect for as I get to deal with him more.... This doctor is extremely successful (we check everyone out) and does not need this gig so he [is] totally unbiased and ethical."
Testimony showed AEG did little to investigate Murray, who had closed his practice quickly to take on Jackson as his only patient for $150,000 a month. Murray was deeply in debt, with a house in foreclosure and behind on his child support payments.
In another email, written hours before AEG executives were to meet with Jackson, executive Ted Fikre wrote: "Does this mean you get to meet the freak?"
The Jacksons' attorneys also attacked the faulty memories of AEG executives, who didn't remember writing many of the key emails and seemed to try to dodge questions about them.
"They made a legal strategy not to remember anything when they testified under oath," Jackson family attorney Brian Panish told jurors.
"They're not credible or worthy of belief," he said.
AEG also argued that Jackson was a grown man who was responsible for his own healthcare. Rowe testified Jackson used propofol as far back as 1997, when he performed in Germany.

Bryan Hull hopes that the Ruger LC9 pistol holstered on his hip sends a clear message.
He's not hiding the fact that he is armed and ready to protect himself.
"With conceal carry, all I can do is react when someone has begun an attack," said Hull, president and founding director of the Oklahoma Open Carry Association.
"With open carry, I may be able to stop an attack."

Hull was among those who encouraged Oklahoma legislators to pass a law last year that lets those who are licensed to have concealed handguns openly carry their firearms.
And he began openly carrying his when the law took effect Nov. 1.
Now he and other neighbors to the north say it's Texas' turn.
"The entire country is shocked that Texans can't open-carry," said Hull, 44, a general manager of a wrecker service. "It doesn't fit the culture."
At a time when gun control has become part of the national conversation -- and gun stores are trying to keep up with the demand for ammunition, magazines and guns -- Rep. George Lavender has filed a bill to change the way guns are carried in Texas.
Lavender proposes letting Texans with concealed handgun licenses openly carry their firearms, as gun owners in states ranging from Oklahoma to Minnesota already do.
"Texas is one of only a handful of states that does not allow some form of open carry despite being one of the most pro-Second Amendment states in the country," said Lavender, R-Texarkana. "It is important we pass open carry this session."
Marsha McCartney hopes Lavender fails.
"Back in the Old West, people had to leave their guns at the edge of town," said McCartney, a spokeswoman for the Texas chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "I thought that was very sensible.
"I wonder why that was changed."
Texas is one of six states, plus the District of Columbia, that do not allow open carry.
For years, gun-rights proponents have urged state lawmakers to make it legal. And more than 77,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Legislature and Gov. Rick Perry to allow it.
Lavender, who sought to pass such a bill in 2011, is trying again.
He has filed a bill with Rep. Chris Paddie, R-Marshall, to let licensed Texans carry handguns in shoulder or belt holsters.
Lavender said the odds of passing the measure -- HB700 -- are better this session.
"This bill is important to many people for a variety of reasons," he said. "For some, it is a matter of personal safety. For others, it simply is a convenience/personal preference issue.
"And for some, it is a 10th Amendment/constitutional issue."
John Pierce, who has advocated this change for years, will drum up support.
"We have high hopes for it in Texas this year," said Pierce, co-founder of OpenCarry.org. "Texas has for so long in this country stood as a symbol of rugged individualism and freedom.
"I think it is embarrassing that people can sit at a Starbucks in Minneapolis open-carrying ... but somehow the people in Houston or Dallas can't handle that."
Pierce said his group will start raising money to help inform Texans about this initiative through billboards and possibly radio ads.
He would love to see Texas move forward with open carry and leave Washington, D.C., Arkansas, Illinois, Florida, South Carolina and New York as the only places that allow no form of it.
Twenty-nine states allow open carry and don't require a license. Last session in Texas, proposals such as allowing concealed carry on college campuses and in parking lots took a higher priority.
But now, Lavender said, several senators have expressed interest in backing the bill.
Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said it's time for this proposal to move forward.
"I support open carry by license holders. What better way to determine who standing around you is a good guy?" said Patterson, a former state senator who carried the legislation that legalized concealed handguns in Texas 18 years ago. "You know the person standing there with a gun on their hip has passed a background check, is up on their child support. ...
"One hundred years ago in Texas, honest men carried openly and only criminals carried concealed," he said. "It's interesting how in the last 25 to 30 years, open carry became bad."
The Legislature passed Texas' concealed handgun law in 1995. More than 585,000 Texans hold licenses, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Oklahoma's law
Oklahoma legislators approved a bill last year letting anyone with a concealed handgun license display a firearm in a shoulder or belt holster as of Nov. 1.
The state has 146,262 residents licensed to carry handguns, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
In Oklahoma, as in Texas, the number of requests for concealed handgun licenses increased in 2009, the year Barack Obama was sworn in as president, and last year, when there were several mass shootings and Obama was re-elected, records from both states show.
Oklahoma officials say they are aware of no incidents since open carry took effect that caused the state bureau to suspend or revoke licenses.
"This enhances Oklahomans' ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights," state Sen. Anthony Sykes, a Republican, said after the bill passed.
"I think the evidence is clear that gun owners are some of the most responsible people, and they've shown that in not just Oklahoma, where we've had concealed carry for quite some time and there's never been an incident, but in these other states as well."
Preventing crime?
Hull was among those clamoring for open carry.
He said he knows that openly wearing a handgun can prevent crime.
One day at his wrecker service, where he regularly wears his gun in plain sight, several people came to his workplace after their friend's vehicle had been impounded.
They were bundled in bulky jackets on a summer day. After walking around -- and seeing the Ruger strapped to Hull's hip -- they quickly left.
"I never saw a weapon," he said. "But clearly they weren't coming to bring me a thank-you card."
Since the law took effect, Oklahoma City bank manager Justin Merrick said, he may have seen two people he doesn't know openly carrying handguns.
But he believes those numbers will grow.
Merrick said that when he's in public with his wife and 3-year-old daughter, his Browning Hi Power 9 mm draws curious looks.
"I get smiles, nods from across the room," said Merrick, 32, the secretary of the Oklahoma Open Carry Association. "People approach me and ask, 'How do you do that?' They don't know about the law."
Becoming a target?
Critics say they fear a rise in violent confrontations if Texas allows open carry.
Many say it isn't the right way to go because criminals will make anyone openly carrying a weapon their first target.
Hull said that's just not the case.
"Armies walking into battle don't conceal their firearms," he said.
He said he hasn't had to fire his weapon, but he did draw it once, when someone tried to mug him in his vehicle.
The mugger, he said, quickly ran off.
Hull said Texans should look at other states -- most of which allow open carry -- in considering legislation this year.
"Unless the state has a very compelling reason, the state should allow law-abiding citizens to do exactly what they are asking to do," he said.
Even if Texas does someday allow open carry, not everyone who carries a weapon plans to exercise that right.
Curtis Van Liew, 49, a concealed handgun license instructor who lives in Watauga, favors the law.
"I love it. The more guns people see on people, the less likely they are to do something. But anyone who walks out of their door with their gun on puts a bull's-eye on their chest," he said. "If there's a crime at a restaurant, they are going to be the first one taken out."
Because of that, Van Liew said, he would continue to keep his handgun concealed.
"It gives me the element of surprise," he said.

This prop was inspired by Ed Mellon's Quantimental Stand, which used 4 different colored balls. While this prop uses the same basic modus-operandi, it doubles the scope of the effect. You can use this with eight spectators, or with a single spectator, who can select playing cards, design cards, number cards, etc. The ideal effect which apparently doubles the probabilities against a random guess is with four cards and four envelopes. Four spectators each select any card, then place the card in any envelope, which is placed in their pocket. In spite of the odds, the performer can correctly divine which spectator selected which card, and placed it in which envelope. We supply the special Card-I-Mental stand and some accessories like blank cards, pay envelopes, and printed cards and envelopes for the presentation(s) that you prefer. No electronics, no magnets, no stooges, no forces.

Girl Power: girls' education, sexual behaviour and AIDS in Africa
28 August 2006 - Girls educated to secondary and tertiary levels are more likely to wait before having sex, are much more likely to use condoms when they do have sex, and are therefore at much less risk of contracting HIV, according to a new report released on 15 August.
One of the latest trends in the development of AIDS in Africa is its increasing feminisation. In Africa, 6.3 million young people aged 15-24 are living with HIV & AIDS, and 74% of those are young women and girls.
In a systematic review of over 600 pieces of research on girls education, sexual behaviour and HIV, ActionAid has shown that secondary education provides African girls with the power to make sexual choices that prevent HIV infection.
The research shows that before 1995, educated girls were more vulnerable to AIDS. Post 1995, as sex education improved and a greater understanding of HIV prevention developed, more educated girls became less likely to contract HIV.
Report author, Tania Boler said: "Young women receiving higher levels of education are likely to wait longer before having sex for the first time, and are less likely to be coerced into sex. Strikingly, girls with more education are far more likely to use condoms and they are less likely to contract HIV."
The reports findings challenge the increasingly vocal lobby which claims it is inappropriate to promote condoms widely in the fight against HIV.
"This report demonstrates the value of promoting condoms to a broad population including young people, and not only to high risk groups such as sex workers," said Tania Boler.
ActionAid finds that education gives girls power, reduces vulnerability and helps them make more independent, confident choices about their sexual behaviour.
The report shows that:
- Schools and teachers are the most trusted source for young people to learn about HIV, and that school attendance ensures greater understanding of prevention messages. It also strengthens girls control, confidence and negotiating abilities to decide if to have sex, and when they do, whether to use a condom.
- Peer group solidarity within school strengthens girls social networks and creates more responsible attitudes to sexual behaviour, safer sex and HIV.
- Conversely, girls who drop out of school are more likely to enter into adult sexual networks, where older partners with more experience and power dictate the rules of sexual engagement.
- Poverty and vulnerability to HIV are closely linked. More educated women have better economic and social prospects and consequently have more choices.
Despite the role of education in protecting girls from HIV infection, 110 million children worldwide do not receive an education. In Africa, 22 million girls have never been to primary school. Children still have to pay to go to primary school in 92 countries.
ActionAid recommends the abolition of school user fees in developing countries to achieve maximum access to education, broadening the curriculum to include sex education, encouraging teenage mothers back into education and that condoms should be more widely available for young people.

Specialty Care Program: Treatment Services
In ND, several programs are available that provide health care coverage for children. Children's Special Health Services (CSHS) is a program specifically for children with special health care needs.
CSHS pays for specialty care that is needed to treat an eligible condition. For example, if a child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, specialty care needed to treat that condition would be covered by CSHS. Services that CSHS might help pay for could include visits to a pediatric specialist (the doctor who treats the child's chronic condition), therapies, medications, etc.
To qualify, children must have a CSHS eligible medical condition. CSHS Medical Condition List (107kb pdf).
Families must also meet income eligibility guidelines currently set at 185% of the federal poverty level. Families with incomes over 185% may still be eligible with a cost share. Insurance or other sources of health care coverage are used when available.
Health care visits must be made with a North Dakota Specialist (176kb pdf).
A two-page CSHS Diagnostic and Treatment Services Fact Sheet (120kb pdf) is available for more information.

S is for Star Wars Toddlers' Tees
A week's worth of characters
Toddlers can be quite the characters. Pick which ones in particular you want them to be with this set of tees from Star Wars.
Every parent has high hopes for his or her child. What exactly are you hoping for in your little one, though? Maybe you can inspire the qualities you're looking for today by dressing them up in clothes with characters from Star Wars whom you want them to emulate:
- Hoping for a toddler who's obedient, reliable, rugged, hard-working, and mathematically-precise? Useful in almost any situation? Learning both binary and the alphabet? That calls for R2-D2.
- How about a little one who's gentle? Intelligent? Loyal? And, perhaps, unusually large and hairy? Okay, scratch that last part. But Chewie's definitely the one to choose when you want to inspire a go-with-the-flow, keep-your-thoughts-to-yourself, quiet type of attitude.
- Maybe you have a young master Jedi on your hands. One who can manipulate others to do what he or she wants. Who can test your patience and frustrate you until ultimately revealing toddler reasoning. Hmm? Yoda, that is.
- Bounty hunter material? Well, if you think about it, isn't your son or daughter a pretty perfect little clone of yourself? Maybe he or she doesn't have the whole "feared bounty hunter" thing quite down pat yet, but give it time and select Boba Fett.
- And then there are those of you who already know you have a tiny Sith lord on your hands. This toddler rides the family dog. Turns his or her bib around and wears it as a cape. Looks good in black. Possibly has asthma. Yep. Darth Vader for that one.
This set of 5 toddler tees includes a blue "R is for R2-D2" desgn, a sandy yellow "W is for Wookiee" design, a heather grey "Y is for Yoda" design, a red "B is for Boba Fett" design, and a black "V is for Vader" design. All shirts are 100% cotton. Imported.

Yippee! The legislative session is finally over. That whirlwind of politics that marks the coming of spring every year has wound down, and as the days get longer and the breeze just a little bit sweeter, we can all be thankful that we don't have to do it again until next year. But what actually happened up there in the Roundhouse? Will it benefit New Mexico? Will it benefit you? And, perhaps most important of all, will it move us forward?
If you judge the results of a legislative session by the weight of legislation produced, the meager output of the 2005 60-day session seems sparse indeed. But this year's tiny mound of bills-transformed-into-laws comes wrapped far more elegantly and was delivered far more efficiently than some of the bulkier, noisier versions of recent years.
The reviews on the past 60-day session of the New Mexico Legislature are in, and they tend to be fairly favorable. Well, maybe it's better to say they aren't too negative despite inaction on some fairly significant legislation.
Dateline: China—An online computer gamer in Shanghai stabbed to death a competitor who stole his cybersword, the China Daily recently reported. Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed competitor Zhu Caoyuan repeatedly in the chest after he was told that Zhu had sold his character's "dragon saber" from the popular computer game Legend of Mir 3. The game is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game featuring fantasy characters, many of whom wield enormous swords. According to court testimony, Qui and a friend jointly won the weapon last February, and lent it to Zhu who then sold it for 7,200 yuan ($1,129). Qui went to the police to report the "theft" but was told the weapon was not real and was, therefore, not protected by the law. "Zhu promised to hand over the cash, but an angry Qui lost patience and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him in the left chest with great force and killing him," the court was told. Qui had given himself up to police and has already pleaded guilty to intentional injury. The case follows a rash of recent lawsuits in which gamers have sought monetary recompense for lost or stolen virtual items like weapons, armor and gold.
[RE: Council Watch, "SimCity," March17-23] Laura Sanchez' coverage of the March 7 City Council hearing that unanimously passed the EDO Master Plan highlights a significant victory for the entire city. However, there are a couple of points in the reporting that bear correction. Specifically:
We should all be thankful the New Mexico Legislature doesn't meet for more than 60 days every other year. Take a look at House bill (HB) 805 and imagine if these guys were still up there screwing around.

I dont get it. We live in Durango. In the mountains. Where it snows. Every winter. So why cant people manage to shovel their sidewalks? Or they wait several days after a storm, and then make a fruitless attempt. By that time, foot traffic has completely compacted the snow into treacherous ice. Why does winter take people by surprise? Annoyed
Durango has a peculiar relationship with snow. When it falls in the mountains, theres much rejoicing and folks pay a lot of money to play in the white fluff.
Yet when snow falls on ones sidewalk, that fun-filled substance becomes an unbearable burden.
In the backcountry, a shovel is an essential tool. Every responsible person who skis off-piste has a shovel.
But here in town, a shovel seems optional. Some irresponsible people are piste-off that they should own one.
A lot could do with Durangos rental rate. About half of Durangoans rent their abode, according to the latest U.S. Census data.
Is shoveling the landlords responsibility? Nope.
The Durango City Code has the cold, hard facts on snow and ice.
It shall be the duty of the owner, tenant and occupant of any premises abutting or adjoining any public sidewalk to remove all snow and ice from such sidewalk, reads Section 21-36.
If you dont take care of the sidewalk, the city will take care of it for you. It will hire snow shovelers, then bill you for their work and tack on 25 bucks.
Another possibility is that a person slips and falls on your unmaintained sidewalk. When the victim of your negligence hires a personal-injury attorney, you wont have a snowballs chance.
But its not predominately a dutiful homeowner/slacker renter thing, points out our friend Shane Roukema, one of the citys code-enforcement officers.
We have nonshoveling problems everywhere. Renters. Owners. Businesses. You name it, he lamented after last weeks storm.
I dont know what people are thinking, he mused. They must believe some friendly elf comes along and clears the sidewalk.
Someone does come all right. But its not an elf. Its Shane. Or another code officer.
They dont have pointy ears and a shovel. What they do have is a pointy writing instrument and a citation book.
The holiday timing of the last two storms had a lot to do with lackluster shoveling rates, Shane pointed out. Many folks were out of town visiting friends and family.
What really slays Shane is abandoned vehicles on the street.
After it snows, some people find their car plowed in. So they just leave it there and dont do anything, he said.
They dont brush the snow off the hood or roof and it sits there for days. After a while, someone reports it, so we go out and green tag it, he said. Owners have 24 hours to move it or the vehicle is towed.
Most times, the owner calls up and yells at us. Its MY car and its NOT abandoned! they scream. But how are we to know? It hasnt moved in a week. Its covered in snow. No one is taking care of it. Thats pretty much the definition of abandoned.
So lets start off the new year with a clean sweep, starting with the sidewalks and your parked car.
If youre elderly and need help, call La Plata County Senior Services at 382-6429 for assistance.
If you dont have a shovel, betcha your neighbor would be more than happy to share.
Or hire the neighborhood kids, who need to get outside more often and could use odd jobs.
And if you dont want to deal with sidewalks, move to the Animas City neighborhood where there are none, and the cantankerous and libertarian residents, including Mrs. Action Line, aim to keep it that way, thank you very much.
Email questions to mailto:email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you wash your car this week to ensure we get more snow.

MACON, Ga. (April 14, 2010) - After winning its fourth Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season title two weeks ago the No. 70 ETSU women's tennis team placed four of its student-athletes on the A-Sun's annual postseason conference awards the league announced Wednesday.
Leading the way for the Lady Bucs was senior Yevgeniya Stupak (Kyiv, Ukraine) and sophomore Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) who was named First-Team All-Atlantic Sun honorees, while junior Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) and freshman Diana Navrosksta (Kviv, Ukraine) were tabbed as Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun members. In addition to those accolades Navrosksta was also a unanimous selection on the All-Freshman Atlantic Sun Team.
On the way to her third First-Team honor of her career, Stupak led the ETSU attack with a 28-7 record, while earning a remarkable 9-1 mark against A-Sun competitors this spring. In addition to her strong No. 1 singles play in the A-Sun the ETSU captain shined on the national stage as the Kyiv, Ukraine native earned a conference-leading seven victories against players from nationally ranked teams.
Like her former doubles teammate Jaime - in only her second year of collegiate tennis - played unbelievable this spring. The second-year player from Madrid, Spain went unbeaten in A-Sun play (10-0), while earning the highest ranked win in the A-Sun after she defeated No. 37 Maria Sorbello of No. 11 Tennessee in January. Overall, Jamie posted 10 wins against players from nationally ranked squads, while along with fellow classmate Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela), the Latino duo lost only one doubles match in conference competition.
Like Jaime, Voinea continued her strapping play against A-Sun players as the ETSU junior also went unbeaten against league players (10-0). After a wrist injury sidelined her a season ago, Voinea won six matches against players from ITA ranked teams, while defeating three previously unbeaten conference opponents at the backend of the Lady Bucs lineup.
Finally, Navrosksta closed out her first season of collegiate tennis with a 19-7 record, while posting a 9-1 mark in A-Sun play. This spring Diana has a 14-3 dual match record, while along with doubles teammate Tara Sheets (Gate City, Va.), the Lady Buc duo leads the team with 14 wins.
With its regular season wrapped up ETSU opens play in the 2010 A-Sun Tournament with a 4:30 p.m. match Friday in DeLand, Fla.

Senior Strategist for Public Relations and Marketing Communications Firm Public Communications/Worldwide (PC/W) Succumbs to Heart Failure
Senior Strategist for Public Relations and Marketing Communications Firm Public Communications/Worldwide (PC/W) Succumbs to Heart Failure
GARDEN GROVE, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 5, 2011) - It is with a deep sense of sadness and loss that Public Communications/Worldwide (PC/W), a long-time Southern California independent public relations and marketing communications firm, announces the passing of Senior Strategist Peter Berghammer. Fifty-one-year-old Berghammer died unexpectedly Saturday evening, October 1 from heart failure. Peter was an innovator and serial entrepreneur who worked on technology, aerospace and public-safety accounts for PC/W.
Though best known for his marketing acumen, Peter possessed a thorough understanding and appreciation for strategic alliances, acquisitions, and mergers. Through his leadership, The Copernio Holding Company, which he founded in 2001 and in which he served as Chief Executive Officer, quickly grew from an IT solutions provider to an organization with divisions handling consulting, research, warehousing, and logistics. Under his guidance, Copernio expanded from a single location to an international corporation with warehouses and offices in over 18 countries.
In 2003, he founded Future Formats, an offshoot of the research arm of Copernio, dedicated to the consumer electronics industry and photonics research.
No matter the endeavor, Peter's goal always remained the same: to assist clients in achieving their business objectives through the intelligent and efficient use of information technology along with a strong infrastructure.
Immediately prior to founding Copernio, Peter served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the on-line marketplace startup Avolo. With an aggressive marketing and product development strategy, he took the company to a leadership position in e-commerce trade.
Prior to that, Peter served as Director of Worldwide Communications for aerospace, defense, and industrial fastening systems manufacturer Fairchild Fasteners (now part of Alcoa). He was a pioneer in the mid-1990s in the integration of CAD/CAM with solid modeling, and the integration of solid models with the internet -- effectively building a proof of concept platform, which allowed for models to be designed and deployed in one location and manufactured in locations thousands of miles away.
Later, as an executive at EDS, Peter oversaw Fairchild's web and network implementation strategy and deployment. He was responsible for developing Fairchild's database-driven architecture, and laid the foundation for later integration of MRP, ERP, and ERP2 systems with the internet, joining facilities in over 20 countries.
Peter began his career in the late 1970s with aerospace fastening company Rosan of Newport Beach, CA. Rosan was later acquired by Rexnord, then by Banner Aerospace, and eventually by Fairchild.
Peter stood out for his forward thinking and strong technical grasp of many issues in the industries with which he was involved. As such, he was active in a number of industry groups. These included being a life member of the American Institute of Aviation and Aerospace (AIAA), and a 20-year member of the Society of Aerospace and Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Optical Society of America. He also belonged to The Center for Intelligence Studies, International Association for Cryptologic Research, and The SIIA: Software and Information Industries Association, in which he was an active participant on the Intellectual Property Sub-Committee, Search Engine watch group, and the Software as Service Sub-Committee.
Peter's military associations included the U.S. Naval Institute and The Navy League, The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), and The Air Force Association. He is a life member of all of the aforementioned groups. He also belonged to the AFIO (Association of Former Intelligence Officers), NMIA (National Military Intelligence Association), IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research), and MICA (Military Intelligence Corps Association).
Peter served his country with quiet effectiveness and always understood the importance of speaking truth to power. He brought this determination -- to effectively make a difference and treat all with decency -- to all of his relationships in the corporate world.
Among his educational credentials are the University of San Diego, the Goethe Institute, Cal Tech Engineering Management, and Stanford Law Intellectual Property and e-business. In 2005-2006, he was named a non-residential Fellow at Stanford Law: Center for Internet and Society researching security and crypotologic systems.
Peter was a well-known speaker dealing with topics from consumer electronics to Intellectual Property, legislation, law through aerospace security, and integrated military logistics systems. He spoke on behalf of numerous organizations and at numerous international tradeshows.
As a husband and most recently, as a father, Peter found his happiest calling -- and one to which he was wholly dedicated -- as his family provided a newfound joy in which all his friends delighted and celebrated.
He is survived by his wife Susan van Barneveld (president of PC/W) and 20-month-old daughter Abrielle Ghislaine. The family lives in Huntington Beach, CA.
Daughter Abrielle was the light of Peter's life. Her future education meant a great deal to him. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to an education fund for her at 19744 Beach Blvd., Suite 398, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.
A memorial service for Peter will be held on October 17 at 11:00 a.m. at Saint Mary's by the Sea Catholic Church in Huntington Beach, CA.

RICHMOND – District 157 taxpayers will see their property taxes drop this year.
The Richmond-Burton Community High School board unanimously approved an $800,000 abatement, which will more than offset an increase in the levy.
The board also unanimously approved a $9.6 million levy, which is designed to collect all of the 3 percent increase allowed under the tax cap law, plus any new growth.
The meeting was quick and discussion was brief, in sharp contrast to Tuesday's meeting of the Nippersink District 2 school board, which lasted three hours and had more than an hour of public comment.
The two school districts cover the same area and share many staff members, including their superintendent.
Only two visitors, Gary and Debbie Tiritilli, attended Wednesday's meeting. Tiritilli thanked the board for considering the abatement and asked members to reconsider the increase on the levy, citing the area's high foreclosure rate.
At the Nippersink board meeting Tuesday, where an abatement also was discussed, the Tiritillis were in the minority. Parent after parent cited programs and improvements they would like to see rather than have tax money returned to them.
Richmond-Burton board secretary and finance committee member Joe Busch said he was comfortable the district could afford the abatement and plans the district has. "In effect, we're giving back what we don't need," he said.
Superintendent Dan Oest echoed that, saying the district will be able to make any needed security upgrades.
The abatement translates to $143 less in property taxes on a house valued at $200,000, Oest said. But taxpayers will not see all of that in savings because of the levy increase.
The Nippersink school board did not vote on an abatement. It has until March to decide whether to approve one and have it go into effect this year.

Hi Ladies,
I'm looking for a little support. I've been EBF my 7wk old, though BF was very hard in the beginning due to the fact that my milk was slow to come in, my production was low, and my baby was jaundiced. However, with a lot of work and fenugreek, BF has been going well until this weekend. I got either food poisoning or the stomach flu Thursday night/Friday morning and was pretty dehydrated. I didn't nurse at all that night (about 8 hours) because I was physically unable to. However, I resumed on Friday, and noticed a slight decrease in my production, but nothing major. Saturday and especially Sunday my baby seemed to want to nurse all the time, which I now realize was indicating a continuous drop in my supply. Last night I went to pump (which I do intermittently just to build up a supply in my freezer) and was unable to get anything out for the first 6 minutes when my letdown finally happened, and I pumped 1 oz. I'm not a great pumper (I'm not able to pump much out), but I always have a letdown in the first minute and when pumping at other comparable times should have been able to get 2 ounces. Then when nursing baby at night (3hrs after I pumped), the same thing happened - no letdown for 6 minutes, and I know she didn't get much because she wasn't swallowing much. Since then, letdown has been a little quicker, but she's not swallowing much.
I feel like my milk supply is suddenly drying up. My breasts feel too soft. My baby is not as interested in attempting to BF right now because not only is she not getting much, but I'm sure my breasts feel very different to her.
In addition to being sick last week (though I feel almost entirely better now), my OB prescribed me the mini pill. I voiced my concerns about it interfering with milk supply, but he told me this one shouldn't. I also started taking blessed thistle last week (in addition to the fenugreek I've been taking for weeks). I know that shouldn't decrease milk supply, but I wanted to provide all the information. Unfortunately, all of these things happened around the same time. I've decided to stop taking the birth control, continue with fenugreek (3 3x/day) and blessed thistle (2 3x/day), continue trying to BF on demand as I have been and then pump afterwards. I'm trying to drink a ton of water. I'm thinking I'm going to have to supplement because there's no way I'm producing enough and I'm not sure my LO will be willing to try hard to get the milk as things are right now. Unfortunately I don't have much of a freezer supply, so I'll have to resort to formula.
Has this happened to anyone before? Have you been able to successfully bring back your milk supply? I'm very upset about the possibility of having to stop breastfeeding at this point. I worked really hard to be able to breastfeed at the beginning and am willing to do so again, but I'm just pessimistic about it working this time.

John Beyer argued that he has a mandate that people have returned Republicans to the majority of the house divided government ... well the presence of a new president to talk to someone about so as I mean I'd ...
