Why is it that two of the conversations are women opening with an admission of some petty shoplifting as a child? That makes absolutely no sense

OAKLAND, CA - MAY 20: Andre Iguodala #9 of the Golden State Warriors and fights for possesion with James Harden #13 of the Houston Rockets during Game Three of the Western Conference Finals of the 2018 NBA Playoffs at ORACLE Arena on May 20, 2018 in Oakland, California.

The Houston Rockets missed 27 consecutive 3s, which should give fans pause for a second.
That stretch was so horrible that it will be the single most remembered aspect of Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Houston's shooting woes stood in contrast to the Golden State Warriors hot-shooting in the third quarter and that's when the game turned around.
No basketball fan has ever seen a NBA team miss 27 straight 3-pointers, because it was a playoff record, one the Rockets did not want to be part of.
So, we went to Twitter to see what the fans had to say about the Rockets dubious stretch, and the tweets are, as one may say, entertaining.See Your Videos Better Outside

Have you ever wanted to use your own fonts from your account on a shared school or work PC, but couldn't because you didn't have the administrator privileges required to install the fonts? Well, we've heard your frustration about this and have made some changes.
In the past, fonts in Windows have always been installed for all users. Because that is a system-wide change, it always required admin privilege. The need for an admin was reflected in the user interface. For example, if you browse in File Explorer to a folder containing a font file and right-clicked on the file to bring up the context menu, then the "Install" option would appear with the security badge, which means that it requires an admin.
If you tried to install a font but didn't have admin privileges, then you would be presented with a User Account Control dialog, so that an admin could approve the change. If you're a non-admin user and often need to install (or uninstall) fonts, then that could be a big hassle.
In the Windows 10 1803 feature update, we introduced fonts in the Microsoft Store . To enable that capability, we needed to make changes deep in Windows to allow a font to be installed for a specific user rather than system-wide. That's why no admin action is needed when fonts acquired in the Store are installed.

BOSTON -- To the rest of the country, the idea of Democrats partying like it was 2008 after last night's elections probably seems very strange.
Nationally, Republicans captured control of the U.S. House of Representatives, picking up 55 seats overall -- easily surpassing the 39 needed to win a majority.
But at Patrick campaign headquarters, supporters were jumping up and down, hugging each other, clinking beer bottles and toasting their candidate, Deval Patrick, who won by a seven-point margin. The governor's election was just once element of Massachusetts' resistance of the Republican wave that swept the rest of the country. Democratic candidates in the Bay State won all the statewide races.
Barry Harriton of Boston, who was decked out in a "Yes We Can" t-shirt from Pres. Obama's 2008 campaign, was thrilled by Massachusetts' evening."People of this state should be incredibly proud," Harriton said. "We listened to all the journalists and all the big nabobs saying, Republicans are going to smash you everywhere. Not in Massachusetts!"
Still, some inside Patrick's headquarters weren't immune to the blues felt by their fellow Democrats in other states. Lalu Fayanju of Cambridge said it made last night's victory party somewhat bittersweet.
"I feel like Nancy Pelosi and a lot of other big Democrats put their neck out, and they're paying for it now, but they did a lot of what we wanted as Democrats," Fayanju said. "And I was happy about that. So I'm sad that they are paying for basically doing the right thing."
Christine Williams, a campaign volunteer from Roslindale, said she's concerned about the fate of the Democratic agenda and key initiatives like healthcare reform and climate change legislation. "What I'm worried about is the kind of policies that we'll have in place with a Republican Congress for a couple of years, what kind of damage will be done by then. So yeah, I'm really worried," Williams said.
This isn't the first Election Day in recent memory when Massachusetts has been out of synch with the national mood. In 1972, Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern lost every state in the nation to Republican Richard Nixon – except for Massachusetts.

Members of Barry's Student Managed Investment Fund learn about world financial markets while giving back to the community
By Dmitry Rashnitsov
In 2010, during one of the most tumultuous periods for global stock markets, two students from Barry University's Andreas School of Business (ASB) proposed an initiative which seemed like somewhat of a risky venture. In short: a student-run program that managed thousands of real dollars in real markets. Fast forward a couple of years and the Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) is a successful educational program. Students are buying real stocks, bonds and securities in markets all over the world while learning how to value financial assets. Although the program is still fairly new, students who are involved are honing their portfolio management skills and giving back to the community by working with local high schools and teaching finance principles to local students. The program even has plans to set up small scholarships as part of its earning allocation plan. SMIF co-founders Raul Ballester '11 and Sean Cooney '12 knew that they were taking on a large project on top of their coursework but were determined to make it work. "We really wanted to leave our mark on Barry and give back to the future generations of students," Ballester explained. "We also wanted the project to contribute toward shortening the 'knowing-doing' gap by getting the students to practice what they learned in the classroom and gain real-world experience at the same time," Cooney said. To gain some traction, the duo garnered support from several faculty members and put together a proposal, before pitching the idea to ASB dean Dr. Tomislav Mandakovic. "After listening to their proposal, we were convinced they were on to something, and we were excited to share it with our colleagues and [Barry University's] Executive Committee," Mandakovic said.
With ASB's support, Ballester and Cooney presented the idea to the Executive Committee and eventually to the University's Board of Trustees for approval. Two board members in particular, Michael O'Neil and John Bussell, championed the project and not only got it approved, but also decided to allocate $50,000 of the University endowment for the group to begin investing immediately. Once the SMIF was established, Cooney and Ballester began advertising the program to ASB students, initially recruiting 20 general members to conduct research, analyze market data and create investment proposals. To ensure the program's continuity, Barry's Vice President for Business and Finance Bruce Edwards and Mandakovic were appointed to the SMIF board, while Dr. Stephen Morrell, professor of economics and finance, became the group's faculty advisor. "Everyone in the program is more keenly aware of the types of events that can move stock markets all over the world," Morrell said. "It's like starting a business. The students get an incredible amount of valuable and useful experience that just can't be taught from a textbook."
As the program begins its second year, students participating in SMIF meet once a week to discuss the current portfolio mix, vote on buy/ hold/sell decisions and execute investment strategies. These exercises help them develop a deeper understanding of capital markets and security analysis. The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students from all majors at Barry. This year, 36 students with the help of 16 mentors are buying and selling stocks and bonds while managing the growth of the portfolio and giving back to the community through lectures on financial proficiency and responsibility. Students participating in SMIF can take on a role of general member/analyst or fund manager in different sectors, which include: Consumer Discretionary & Consumer Staples, Energy & Finance, Health Care & Industrials and Technology & Telecommunication Services and Fixed Income. Some SMIF members also take on operational duties to ensure the program continues to grow and improve. Although the student group has decision-making authority — with guidance from the faculty advisor — on investments, all major programmatic decisions, such as earnings allocation, are vetted and approved by the advisory board, which consists of alumni, faculty, administration, trustees and local business community leaders.
"Being part of SMIF has been one of the best experiences I have had at Barry," said 2012-2013 SMIF President Fernando Araujo Simoes, an MBA student scheduled to graduate this spring. "It truly gives you the opportunity to manage a real investment portfolio and develop the type of leadership and teamwork skills that are very important if you want to succeed in the business world. I think this will definitely set me apart from the rest of the applicants in my future career." The SMIF's short-term focus is to meet its benchmarks and grow its portfolio methodically. The long-term plan is to grow the fund to a size that would allow the group to not only reinvest, but also allocate a portion of its earnings to fund scholarships, community service projects, and educational events beyond the classroom, such as national competitions. In 2012, the SMIF added a community service component as a requirement for membership. Twice a month, SMIF members give presentations about personal finance at William H. Turner Technical Arts High School, a charter school located on the Miami Central High School campus, about two miles west of Barry. "We are talking to the students about beginning to build their credit scores, making sure they don't get mired down in debt, the power of saving their money, basic financial activities such as balancing a checkbook, showing them their options for paying for college, introducing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other things along these lines," said finance major Wesley Burns, who serves as SMIF's head of community service. "These simple topics have generated an enormous amount of questions from the students; we really struck a nerve." In addition to gaining valuable investment experience, SMIF students also get invaluable face time with leading professionals in the financial industry by working closely with the advisory board. Alumni such as Christopher S. Neill '95 are thrilled to share their wealth of experience in a highly competitive profession that thrives on risks, rewards, innovative thinking and correctly predicting the future.
"It's great practical experience and an introduction into the workforce that they can put on their résumés," said Neill, who serves as the director of institutional relations at Thomas White International, LTD, a boutique investment management firm based in Chicago. "The advisory board looks over the portfolio about once every quarter and points out things that the fund managers might not have even thought about." Student managed investment funds are common in some business schools around the country; however, most schools utilize software simulations. The fact that Barry University's SMIF program manages real money places it among a group of select few consisting of top-tier institutions. Today, Cooney and Ballester each work in finance and credit the education they received at Barry, as well as the experience of starting up the SMIF, as key to launching their careers. Cooney is an energy investment banking analyst at Dundee Capital Markets in Canada, while Ballester is a property transfer specialist at Chevron Corp. in Houston. They both serve on the SMIF's advisory board. "My experience at Barry and with creating the SMIF has allowed me to compete with individuals from top-tier educational institutions. It's all about applying yourself and making the most of your education," Ballester said. Cooney agreed and emphasized the value to his own education. "The experience of getting the program moving from idea to proposal to execution was amazing. I learned a lot just from that exercise alone," he said. Mandakovic, ASB dean, also sees the project as a valuable asset that can attract high-level individuals to pursue their studies at ASB. "The partnership between our expert faculty and members of the local finance community ensures that students acquire expertise in designing solid investment strategies," he said. "The SMIF project is truly a collaborative program that enhances student knowledge and enriches the South Florida talent pool."

Resources: For Federal Managers
These GAO resources have been selected specifically for federal agency managers.
GAO has identified and documented best practices and leading practices in a number of key agency- and office-management functions, and provides the following resources to assist federal managers in implementing best and leading practice methodologies.
Best practices are generally processes, practices, and systems that, through detailed analysis, are determined to have helped organizations improve their performance in specific areas. Leading practices are generally processes, practices, and systems that, through testimonial evidence, literature review, and case studies are determined to have helped organizations improve their performance in specific areas.
Guides: Use GAO's Guides to Manage Technology, Projects, and Costs
Key Issues: Explore GAO's Key Issues related to Best Practices and Leading Practices
- HUMAN CAPITAL: Best Practices and Leading Practices in Human Capital Management
- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: Best Practices and Leading Practices in Information Technology Management
- GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS: Best Practices and Leading Practices in Collaboration
- ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT: Best Practices and Leading Practices in Acquisition Management
The practices presented in these Key Issue pages help federal managers and decision makers:
- Use GAO's published work to strengthen their agency's capacity for improving the management functions that are critical for achieving mission success;
- Address long-standing management issues, including those identified in GAO's High Risk series and other GAO work; and
- Provide questions to help agencies self-evaluate core management functions.
Because organizations are diverse and complex, leading or even best practices for one organization may not work for another and agencies need to carefully consider which ones might help them improve.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 was the annual Fellowship Dinner between Christ Church and Mikveh Israel. Christ Church was founded in 1695. It was one of the first religious institutions in Philadelphia, and the first parish of the Church of England in Pennsylvania. Mikveh Israel is known as "The Synagogue of the Revolution" because of the active role played by many members of Mikveh Israel in the activities leading up to the Revolution, the Revolutionary effort itself, and the formation of the United States after the war was over. Similarly, Christ Church is known as "The Nation's Church" because of the famous Revolution-era leaders who worshipped there. Among the parishioners of Christ Church were Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, George Washington and John Adams.
28 August 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the landmark March on Washington. The brainchild of A. Phillip Randolph in the 1940s, he finally saw his dream come true when civil rights advocates descended on the Nation's Capitol to urge our government to address issues of freedom and economic equality.
Towards the end of 2012, politics seemed to dominate news cycle. This could hardly be surprising in an election year, but this increased public awareness generated a lot of questions, and almost every media outlet had something to contribute. Steven Spielberg's film "Lincoln" fit quite easily into this discussion, even though Spielberg insisted on waiting until after the election to premier his film (link).

Loeb Music Library
Digital Scores and Libretti Collection
The Loeb Music Library is engaged in an ongoing program to digitize scores and libretti selected for their rare or unique natures and their popularity as objects of research and teaching. By providing online access to historical editions from its holdings, the Library seeks to make primary source materials available for classroom and research use at Harvard and to scholars all over the world. As items from the collection are digitized, they are made available in the library's Virtual Collection of Digital Scores and Libretti. The digital versions can be viewed online or downloaded as PDFs.
The scores and libretti in this Virtual Collection include first and early editions and manuscript copies of music from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by J.S. Bach and Bach family members, Mozart, Schubert and other composers, as well as multiple versions of nineteenth century opera scores, seminal works of musical modernism, and music of the Second Viennese School. Many, such as variant editions of nineteenth century operas and related libretti, fall into intellectually related sets that are meant to be seen and used together. As a group, they give scholars a window into the study of historical performance practice.
Searching the Virtual Collection
Search Strategies
- Put phrases in quotation marks
- Search or browse for titles using words from the title or the uniform title
- To find a publisher's name, use the keyword anywhere search
- To find musical forms (e.g. ballets, sonatas, symphonies), use the subject search or browse
- To retrieve records for manuscript materials in the virtual collection, use the Category qualifier or browse the collection for the subject terms "Manuscript Music" or "Manuscript Text." To retrieve records for printed materials in the virtual collection, use the Category qualifier or browse the collection for the subject terms "Printed Music" or "Printed Text."

The only Tennessee citizen you would have found in The Swamp on Saturday who wasn't completely against the demolition of the Volunteers was Barrett Jones. In Gainesville for his official visit, the 6-5, 270-pound offensive tackle was able to see one of the finer offensive performances of college football so far this season. As good as the Gators played; it was the atmosphere that blew Jones away.
It was a great visit for Barrett Jones, but it almost didn't happen. On a weekend where weather kept Brendan Beal away from Gainesville, it almost claimed another visitor.
"I got in Saturday morning," Jones said. "Our flight got cancelled Saturday morning so we took a different flight to Jacksonville a little later on. Then we drove to Gainesville and didn't end up getting there until about 2:15."
"We got to spend some time in the F Club and got some food to eat. Then I got to see warm ups out on the field and how the players prepared. I liked getting to see the basketball team get their rings."
It's not every day you see a college team, much less in an SEC rivalry, put up 554 yards of offense. That wasn't the most impressive thing for Jones however.
"It was an amazing atmosphere," Jones said. "It was up there with the best places I've ever seen."
From the hated state of Tennessee, Jones has spent his senior season leading Evangel Christian to a 4-0 record. He's been doing this six hours away from the Volunteers hometown of Knoxville. Jones has seen plenty of Volunteers games and Saturday's outcome did catch him a little off guard.
"It did surprise me a little bit, but Florida is a really good team this year," Jones said.
Jones believes that relationships will be a key in his decision. Although the recruiting process focuses him on the relationship with his recruiter and position coach, he was able to spend some time this weekend with players who are potential teammates.
"I met Duke Lemmens and James Wilson," Jones said. "They were the two who showed me around most of the time. They were awesome guys and they had great things to say about the program. I met Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin, but just about all the other players too. I was with Zebrie Sanders for most of my visit."
In Jones' case, his recruiter has also been his position coach. His relationship with Coach Addazio has gotten much stronger throughout the process and this weekend was one of the few times the two were able to spend time together.
"I talked to almost all the coaches there, but Coach Addazio has been recruiting me," Jones said. "I spent the most time with him. We hung out for a little bit after the game and then I had breakfast with him on Sunday. He's a great offensive line coach and a great guy. He cares about his players."
What Jones hears from the Florida coaches is music to his ears. With the Gators potential losing two offensive tackles this year, he has the potential to contribute immediately.
"They tell me that they're still a little thin on the line and they could use a tackle like me," Jones said. "If they can secure a great offensive line for the future, they should be very solid because their playmakers are some of the best."
Jones continues to claim the same top five of Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Vanderbilt. So far, he has only visited Florida and Vanderbilt. With no timetable for his decision, he will continue to take visits through the fall.
"I'm going to Alabama and Tennessee for unofficial visits and will probably take an official to North Carolina," Jones said. "I'm not really sure when I'll be taking them."

I come from a large family and when I was growing up my parents began to commit benefit fraud as my mother would claim that she is a single parent in order to receive state benefits even though she lives and is married to my father. As a result of this my family receive free accommodation, extra spending money and many other benefits from the Government. My father also works and contributes to the family expenditure. This benefit fraud is still going on. I only found out what my parents were doing when I hit my late teens. I desperately begged them to stop but they believe that one day they will stop this fraud and Allah (swt) will forgive them without having to pay back the money. I am aware that I also consume some of this haraam money but I have no choice as my parents will not stop this fraud. They still continue doing this so half our family income is halal (my father's wages) and the other half is haraam (money stolen from the Government). I spoke with a pious relative about this matter and he said that as I also consumed this haraam income I am required to pay back all the haraam money that I used from the age of puberty onwards in order to seek Allah's forgiveness by returning that which belongs to someone else. Is this true? If so, how do I estimate how much money I need to give back to the Government given that I was also brought up with some halal money? Do I assume that my father's income paid for rent so I should pay back all the extra money the Government gave my mum for each child? Do I need to return all this money to the Government before my Hajj can be accepted? This money will take me a very long time to pay back. If I get married to a rich man, can he pay it back or am I the only person who can pay back the debt as it is my debt? My parents are very private about their money but openly admit to unlawfully taking someone else's money. They still commit this bad act today. I began working full time a few months ago and I pay my parents to live at their home. Will Allah(swt) accept this from me (i.e. my wages pay for all my living expenses so that I do not consume any of the money from the fraud that my parents do)?
My parents refuse to stop this benefit fraud and I do not know what to do.
It is not permissible to commit fraud in order to take money and assistance from the state in the manner that your mother did, because of what that involves of lying and consuming wealth unlawfully. The burden of sin applies to the one who does that and the one who calls him to do that, but there is no sin on you because you were small at that time, then because you objected to what your mother did. You have to be careful and avoid taking anything of this money. If your father has halaal wealth that is mixed with this money, it is permissible for you to eat from his food in the case of need.
We praise Allah for having enabled you to find work by means of which you can spend on your own maintenance and you do not need your father's maintenance.
You do not have to pay back the government's money, but you do have to advise your parents to stop taking it.
Whatever they took before they knew that it is haraam, they do not have to do anything about, but whatever they took after they learned that it is haraam, if they cannot give it back to the state, they have to get rid of it by giving to the poor and needy.
We ask Allah to increase you in knowledge and guidance.
And Allah knows best.

Bedford's Jackson Lamb takes a shot against Ann Arbor Pioneer's Tevis Robinson during their game Friday night in Bedford. Lamb scored 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked four shots.

If they don't cut back on turnovers and shoot free throws a little better, Bedford's Kicking Mules might not be good enough to win their rematch next month at Ann Arbor Pioneer.
Bedford's Reed Nagley takes a shot against Pioneer's Jibreel Hussein (23) and Forrest Neal. The Mules are now 9-0.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
But Friday night, despite 23 giveaways and a subpar 9-for-16 effort at the foul line, the Mules were just good enough to stay unbeaten with an important 56-54 basketball victory against the Pioneers.
The win lifted Bedford to 9-0 overall and a first-place 4-0 in the Southeastern Conference's Red Division.
"Being 9-0 feels pretty good," second-year Bedford coach Nick Lowe said. "Ann Arbor Pioneer's been one of the top dogs in the league for a long time, and anytime you can get a win — whether it's pretty or ugly — you take it.
"We built enough of a cushion where we could withstand a little bit of a rally and executed in the last four minutes pretty good against their pressure."
The Mules, ranked No. 5 in the Detroit Free Press Class A state poll, seek the first boys basketball league championship in school history, and beating traditional SEC Red power Pioneer (8-3, 3-1) at home was a big step in that quest.
Bedford was led, as usual, by 6-foot-6 senior forward Jackson Lamb, who scored 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked four shots in what was, for him, a below-average output. Lamb came in averaging 27.9 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.
PHOTO GALLERY: Boys Basketball: Bedford vs. Ann Arbor Pioneer
A little better effort at the free-throw stripe would have brought him closer to the scoring norm.
With Bedford watching what was a 52-42 lead — with 3 minutes, 19 seconds remaining — melt down to two points with seven seconds to play, Lamb had a chance to ice the win at the line.
Pioneer got within striking distance when Jibreel Hussein (13 points) nailed a 3 from the left corner to make it 56-54, then fouled Lamb off the inbounds pass. Lamb missed both, and Bedford fans had to hold their collective breath has Tevis Robinson's desperation half-court heave at the buzzer missed the target.
"It's a big advantage winning this game," Lamb said. "Now we're in first place, and that's pretty important. Once you get down [in the standings], it's hard to come back from that.
"I missed two pretty important free throws that could have cost us the game, but luckily enough, there wasn't enough time left on the clock for them to take anything but a crazy shot."
The Mules led 12-8 after one quarter, then bumped the gap to 30-24 at halftime thanks to a Brad Boss 3-pointer 30 seconds before the break.
After Pioneer got within 30-28 early in the third quarter, Bedford stretched its lead back to eight before taking a 41-37 edge to the final period.
That is when the Mules produced perhaps their most crucial run of the game — a 6-0 surge to open the fourth quarter on buckets from Jeremiah Harris (six points, six rebounds), backup forward Adam Swisher (nine points), and Lamb.
That put Bedford up 47-37 with 5:08 remaining, but the Pioneers refused to go away.
Following a free throw by Dennis Guss (eight points) that put the Mules up 52-42 with 3:19 to go, Pioneer forced Bedford's final two turnovers, got a pair of 3-pointers from Hussein, and were aided by the Mules missing 4 of 6 free throws in the final 26.7 seconds.
"We worked on it all week in practice, but I don't think we assimilated it as well as we thought," Guss said of preparing for Pioneer's pressure defense. "We handled it well down the stretch.
"It's great to get out ahead. This league is tough. Anyone can beat anyone, so if you can get out there ahead and just keep going, it helps your chances a lot. We want to get the first banner as league champion."
Perhaps the most telling stat was that each team made 23 field goals, but Bedford got its baskets on 30 fewer attempts.
Bedford was 23 of 38 (61 percent) from the field and matched Pioneer's 29 rebounds.
Pioneer was 23 of 68 (34 percent) from the field and committed 10 fewer turnovers than the Mules. Robinson added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Pioneers.
"Playing everybody twice in this league, you've got to hold court at home and win a few on the road," Lowe said. "If you can do that, you're going to win a league like this. We still have to go to their place, so we knew tonight was huge.
"We put ourselves in first place for now, but there's still a lot of basketball to go."

UPDATE: Now you can listen to an excerpt of Francis' High Line online. Click here to listen.
If you had to describe the High Line with music, how would it sound?
Find out on Friday at Carnegie Hall, where the American Composer's Orchestra will premiere Ryan Francis' High Line, a musical composition inspired by the park.
Francis is a Brooklyn-based composer whose work was selected as a result of a competitive process asking emerging artists to submit applications outlining their ideas for musically realizing the theme, "A Greener New York City," as part of a partnership between ACO and leading luxury goods group LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
So, how does Francis transform the High Line into music? Don't expect to hear train sounds and bird calls, he says in this video. "Ultimately I did away with literal comparisons and came to really think about representing an environment. It's a very quiet, private space. Even when it's crowded, there's a quiet about it. That sense of intimacy next to grandeur of the city was the overarching aesthetic influence."
High Line will premiere on Friday, December 3, 2010 at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall as part of the American Composer's Orchestra's upcoming season, Orchestra Underground: A Time & Place.

Grand Island is making progress on what is called a prescription drug problem on the Island.
About 50 people attended a forum called a "Conversation with the Community," hosted by One Island, One Team, One Dream, to be Drug Free" April 16 at the Grand Island firehall.
Town Supervisor Mary Cooke announced to parents, youth and community stakeholders that "Very shortly we will have a dropbox for drugs in our town that can be used 24-7." Located at the Erie County Sheriff's Office and Grand Island Police substation on Whitehaven Road, the dropbox will provide the public a depository to leave prescription drugs that are no longer needed.
Panelists at the forum, moderated by Luke Moretti of WIVB-TV, included Dr. Robert Whitney, former Erie County Medical Center medical director of the Substance Abuse Unit; Dale Kasprzyk, agent in charge Buffalo DEA, Town Justice Sybil Kennedy, Grand Island High School teacher Bob Simpson, and GIHS student Kim Gacon.
Chris Pyc, a New York State Trooper assigned to be the school resource officer for the Grand Island Central School District, also spoke at the forum and called turnout at the event "awesome."
"Because back in 2004 when we did something similar in the large cafeteria of the high school we had one parent when we're talking about prescription drug abuse," Pyc said. "We are making headway, and this is proof. This is the first step as far as I'm concerned in dealing directly with the kids. If each of you takes something you learn today and pass it on to two or three other people that weren't here tonight, we're getting there."
He called the drug drop-off program a positive step that nobody thought of seven or eight years ago at a time when parents were less aware of the issue of prescription drug abuse. Over time, some of the barriers to reporting from parents are coming down, he said.
He noted that in his career he's had conversations with parents, who when they are told their child has a problem with prescription medications "they don't believe you, because a parent doesn't want to hear that."

The Findhorn River is in the northeast of Scotland and flows into the Moray Firth. The river rises in the Monadhliath Mountains and flows through Strathdearn past Tomatin and down to the small town of Forres before reaching Findhorn Bay. The river is of a medium size and has excellent runs of salmon and grilse on all beats with the lower beats offering good sport for sea trout. The upper beats wind through some spectacular mountain and moor land scenery from Coignafearn and down beyond the Tomatin beats. The middle beats start at Cawdor Estate on Drynachan, soon carving their way through the rocky gorges at Banchor, Lethen and Glenferness. The gorge beats extend on down to Logie and onto the lower beats at Sluie. From here, the river flows through spectacular red sandstone outcrops on Darnaway and Altyre beats, which eventually open out into the lower river at Forres before running into Findhorn Bay.
The lower beats, which are fished by Moray Estates, Altyre Estate, and The Forres Angling Association, catch early Spring salmon from February through to early May. All of the beats above here have to wait for the water temperatures to rise to over 42f to allow the fish to ascend the Poolie Falls at Sluie. Therefore from early May onwards, the fish will run quickly upstream moving into the middle and upper beats.
These two rivers are adjacent to the Findhorn, the Nairn just to the west and the Lossie just to the East. All three rivers share a fishery trust and so we have included the Nairn and Lossie on this site
Most of the Findhorn's beats are included on this site so you can read about each one, see its current fishing availability and book fishing permits online or by telephone.
In particular you have free, unlimited access to:
Daily river levels - updated twice daily during the salmon season
Daily salmon catches - updated automatically on ghillie notification
Find fishing - rods updated hourly
Online booking - with immediate issuing of permits
Call centre back up for manual bookings or advice
There is a host of information in the left hand menu to help you arrange your fishing on the Findhorn and organise your visit to the area.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge denied bail on Monday to a New Jersey man arrested last week on suspicion of conspiring with the so-called "cannibal cop" to kidnap and rape a woman.
The prosecutor and defense attorney clashed repeatedly in a one-hour hearing over their sharply different interpretations of the intent of the suspect, New Jersey mechanic Michael Van Hise, 22.
Prosecutors contend Van Hise discussed a kidnap-for-rape scheme with New York City police officer Gilberto Valle III, who was charged in October with plotting to kidnap, torture, and eat women. Defense attorneys for both men say their clients were merely engaged in fantasy role play.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman conceded the case "is not entirely black and white" but denied bail for Van Hise on Monday because the evidence suggested "this was going beyond the realm of fantasy."
The prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Jackson, insisted Van Hise was "serious" about an email exchange with Valle discussing the kidnap and rape of the woman, in which he haggled over the price of the kidnapping.
Defense attorney Alice Fontier said Van Hise never intended to act on his words, adding that he had cooperated with investigators since he was first approached by the FBI in October.
Valle has been dubbed the "cannibal cop" by New York media in reference to emails in which, prosecutors say, he discussed eating his victims.
Valle was charged with conspiracy to kidnap and accessing a government computer without authorization. He pleaded not guilty and insisted he, too, was engaged in role play only.
Fontier said she would appeal Pitman's ruling, asserting federal prosecutors arrested her client to prevent him from testifying on Valle's behalf at his federal trial later this month.

Press release
"The plans are finally in place for our first county-wide Diabetes Screening Day," announced Claudia Kurtzworth, regarding the diabetes prevention initiative spearheaded by the Niagara County Department of Health and the Niagara County Diabetes Coalition. Kurtzworth, a Niagara County public health educator, coordinates Diabetes Coalition activities in Niagara County. All four Niagara County hospitals will conduct free screenings and provide education for the community on Wednesday, Sept. 19. Attendees will have opportunities to speak with dietitians and diabetes educators, get free blood glucose tests and blood pressure checks, receive wellness and health insurance information, and enter a basket raffle.
Diabetes is a growing epidemic, with one in 10 adults affected in Niagara County, higher than national and state levels. In addition, the prevalence of gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) in New York and Niagara County continues to increase and remains higher than the national average.
Diabetes increases risk for many serious health problems, affecting heart, liver, kidneys, eyes, ears, skin, digestive system, muscles and nervous system and reproductive systems. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in individuals suffering from diabetes. The Diabetes Coalition advises individuals to know their risk factors by taking the ADA risk test at any of the event screening sites or online by clicking onhttp://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/diabetes-risk-test/?loc=DropDownDB-RiskTest.
When armed with the knowledge of risks, healthy eating and living practices and early screening, community members can help prevent or control diabetes and live longer, healthier and more active lives.
"The opportunities to have all of our hospitals in Niagara County working together to educate and inform our communities is critical to fighting the epidemic of diabetes in Niagara County," said Daniel Stapleton, Niagara County public health director.

Shooter Jennings & Hierophant...He's the Son of Country Legend, Waylon Jennings and on the Road with his Rock Band, Hierophant in Support of their New Album Black Ribbons
Shooter Jennings was brought up on the road where as a child he learned piano, guitar and everything there was to know about country and southern rock music. His knack for singing and songwriting gave him an edge over other emerging artists and by 2005, he landed a record deal with Universal South Records, under which he released his Billboard charting debut "Put the 'O' Back in Country." Four years and three albums later, Jennings found a new calling in hard rock and decided to form the band Hierophant with Bryan Keeling, Bobby Emmett,Ted Russell Kamp and The Schreffman. They are an ambitious group, pushing their prog rock music past conceptual and musical boundaries on "Black Ribbons."
Coursing through the "black ribbons" that weave together a progressively dark and ominous album, Shooter Jennings & the Hierophants (with the aid of Stephen King's narration) explore the future of humanity as it is destroyed by the technology of the digital age. But where there is an abundance of futuristic sounds, there are also hints of Shooter's country influences, adding a hint of the human voice.
Join us in entering their world at this Friday's Free at Noon concert.

Perfectly attuned: our state-of-the-art cardiac solutions. From diagnosis to therapy and follow-up, all medical technologies along the clinical pathway are connected to build a smart network. Improve the outcome for the most important person in the room: the patient.
A perfect team: your clinical environment supported by our innovative solutions for coronary artery disease. Together, they build an integrated platform you can rely on for every patient. From routine cases to the most complex, we support you in improving the outcome for every patient.
How innovations in imaging can improve CTO procedures
© Europa Group – Original recording at EuroPCR 2018
Professor Julinda Mehilli, MD, works in one of the largest cardiac centers in Germany. At LMU Munich's Medical Center, she performs many complex procedures including CTO every year. With the help of syngo CTO Guidance, she can plan the procedure in more detail so that everything runs smoothly.
Optimal imaging techniques for complete revascularization
Learn how optimal imaging techniques can be used for complete revascularization in complex patients and how guidance tools can optimize coronary procedures. Watch the EuroPCR interview with our symposium speakers Professor Julinda Mehilli, MD, Professor Gert Richardt, MD, and Professor Jo Dens, MD, now!
Experiencing syngo CTO Guidance in clinical practice
Professor Julinda Mehilli, MD, benefits in various ways from using syngo CTO Guidance during complex CTO procedures. Find out what she has to say about the advantages of the software application for procedure planning, the intervention itself, and minimizing X-ray exposure.
High-sensitivity Troponin I Assays: A breakthrough in MI diagnosis
Thanks to high-sensitivity troponin I assays, new possibilities have emerged for quicker, more accurate diagnoses of myocardial infarction (MI). We spoke to Peter Kavsak, PhD, about these high-sensitivity assays and their potential to significantly impact patient care and protocols.
Facilitating cardiac decision-making at the point of care
Chest pain is one of the most common presentations at Addenbrooke's Hospital. To meet this need, the hospital opened a 24/7 laboratory within the emergency department, the first hospital in the UK to enable rapid diagnosis of cardiovascular disease to quickly determine an appropriate therapy.
Treating complex chronic total occlusions
Many cath labs will not treat patients with complex CTOs interventionally given the challenges of visualizing the anatomy around an occlusion. A case from University Hospital Erlangen shows how 3D imaging, coupled with advanced guidance software, helps to overcome such obstacles.
Planning with CT scans may improve outcomes in CTO PCI
Improvements in both technologies and techniques have led to an increase in the procedural success rates of PCI for CTOs. Furthermore, evidence is emerging that preprocedural planning with CT angiography may help to further improve the success rate of these procedures.
Complex PCIs: The "number one" trend in coronary interventions
More and more complex PCI procedures are being performed. This article explores the reasons why, such as the findings of the SYNTAX study that showed equal clinical outcomes between surgery and PCI for certain subsets of patients.
Pushing frontiers with advanced imaging tools
Imaging has always been an important factor during PCI, but has become even more important given the increasing number of complex PCI procedures being performed. Find out more about the latest developments in imaging for procedure guidance in this article.
Perfectly orchestrated: our integrated solutions for structural heart disease. Manage complexity with efficient and automated workflows for accurate diagnostic assessment and device placement. Improve the outcome for every patient. Even in the most challenging cases.
TAVI & TMViV guided by fusion imaging
Watch the cardiology team at Heart Center Bonn as they perform a highly challenging TAVI and a TMViV, guided by fusion imaging from CT-based planning and live angiography, in a 74-year-old hemodialysis patient.
LAA closure with fusion of live angiography and TEE imaging
At the Center for Cardiovascular Interventions Bonn, Germany, Professor Georg Nickenig and his team are performing more than 500 structural heart interventions per year. Find out what benefits they see in fusion of live angiography imaging and TEE in an example case of a left atrial appendage (LAA) closure.
High-end multimodality imaging for improved TAVI outcomes
Watch Professor Stephan Achenbach, MD, and Martin Arnold, MD, in a procedure to treat an 87-year-old patient with severe aortic valve stenosis by implanting a transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis at University Hospital Erlangen and see how they integrate imaging.
Integrated imaging solutions for structural interventions
Professor Stephan Achenbach, MD, is convinced that high-end imaging optimizes clinical results and translates into patient benefits. In unexpected situations during structural interventions in particular, continuous intraprocedural 4D TEE proved to be very helpful.
Implanting a Lotus valve in a severely stenotic mitral valve
A 75-year-old woman presented with the primary complaint of severe dyspnea at rest to Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. Find out how Nicolas van Mieghem, MD, diagnosed an extensive calcification of the mitral annulus and leaflets and see the steps he took for treatment and follow-up.
Crucial imaging support with 3D TEE in LAAC
Patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot take long‐term anticoagulants have conventionally had few options for lowering their risk of stroke. Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) – supported by advanced imaging technologies and guidance software – is an attractive alternative for these patients.
A true understanding of the patient's heart
Stéphane Lafitte, MD, ranks among the world's most renowned researchers in the field of echocardiography. When treating valvular diseases, real-time 3D volume color Doppler imaging provides Lafitte with information that can improve patient outcomes in cardiology.
Imaging is a vital part of a successful TAVI procedure
The global market for TAVI is expected to grow substantially and imaging will continue to play a key role in the success of TAVI procedures. Multimodality and integrative imaging approaches in particular are required to support increasingly complex, minimally-invasive structural heart interventions.
A perfect match: our arrhythmia solutions ensure best-in-class integration with a great variety of third-party technologies. Even for complex procedures, smooth workflows are supported for enhanced patient outcomes.

A clear view inside tiny hearts
Martin Glöckler, MD, senior attending physician for pediatric cardiology at University Hospital Erlangen, talks about the advantages of 3D visualization in congenital heart disease interventions and for planning of pediatric heart surgery.
Touching young hearts
Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub dreams of fighting the number one killer in the developing world: cardiovascular disease. He founded a medical center in Egypt with the aim of providing high-quality healthcare to children in particular – free of charge. In 2016, a new outpatient department was opened enabling vast expansion from ca. 3,000 outpatients to almost 16,000 treated in one year. Minimally invasive cardiac interventions are also growing rapidly – up by over 25% from 1,600 in 2015 to 2,056 in 2016. Open heart surgery continues to be a major strength of the center with 828 interventions performed in 2016 – more than 20% of which were on babies in first month of life.
The challenge of imaging small bodies
What is the most effective way to support high-quality, efficient pediatric interventional cardiology? For Seattle Children's Hospital and Thomas Jones, MD, at least part of that answer is high-quality imaging and continuous dose reduction.
