Actor and comedian Robin Williams recorded this sweet message of hope, love and support for Vivian Waller, who was diagnosed with lung, bowel and liver cancer in January this year.
Meeting the Mrs Doubtfire star was one thing the 21-year-old was desperate to cross off her bucket list, but after becoming too ill to travel from her native Auckland, New Zealand, one of her friends contacted Williams and he agreed to send her a video message.
He emailed the video clip to her family just a few months ago.
The 63-year-old committed suicide on 10 August, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and battling with depression. It was also reported that the Good Morning Vietnam actor had serious financial problems.
In the poignant message the actor says: "I'm sending all my love to you ... mark this off your bucket list." He ends the video by blowing Vivian a kiss, saying: "Much love to you baby."
Vivian's husband Jack told stuff.co.nz that his decision to share the video from Williams was "to show people how awesome a person he was."
Since the actor's death, more fans have come forward to share heartfelt stories about his kindness. One man described how the star had chartered a private plane to surprise his sick daughter with a visit, after she became too ill to visit the actor on his film set.
The young girl, Jessica Cole, had requested to meet him through the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Watch tributes to the late Robin Williams below.

The Raft
Release Date: 4/5/2000
LIST PRICE: $17.99 (you save $5.40)
Main description:
A flock of birds was moving toward me along the river, hovering over something floating on the water. It drifteddownstream, closer and closer, until finally it bumped up against the dock. Though it was covered with leaves and branches, now I could tell that it was a raft. I reached down and pushed some of the leaves aside. Beneath them was a drawing of a rabbit. It looked like those ancient cave paintings I'd seen in books--just outlines, but wild and fast and free.
Nicky isn't one bit happy about spending the summer with his grandma in the Wisconsin woods, but them the raft appears and changes everything. As Nicky explores, the raft works a subtle magic, opening up the wonders all around him--the animals of river and woods, his grandmother's humor and wisdom, and his own special talent as an artist.

In Brightest Day: Reynolds Talks "Green Lantern"
Whan Ryan Reynolds was announced as the star of Warner Bros.' "Green Lantern" film, he was also mentioned in the same breath as the perfect choice for any number of other comic book super heroes. When CBR News spoke with Reynolds during our visit to the set last August, the actor explained why he chose to become Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, instead of holding out for a different costumed character.
Reynolds' journey to becoming the Emerald Warrior began with an invitation to meet with the film's director, Martin Campbell. "At the time that I met him, I wasn't super interested in playing Green Lantern," Reynolds admitted, "but I was really interested in Martin Campbell." The opportunity to speak with the director of "Goldeneye" and "Casino Royale" was too good for the actor pass up. "I was anxious to sit down with him and hear what he had to say."
Over the course of three meetings, Campbell invited Reynolds into the world of "Green Lantern," eventually taking the actor on a tour of the art department. "It was pretty compelling stuff," he recalled. "For me, what I fell in love with was the scope." While the film begins with Hal as a cocky test pilot on Earth, it will transport moviegoers to Oa, the planet at the center of the universe where Jordan trains to become part of the 3600-member intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps. Impressed with the concept, Reynolds was also swayed by Campbell's dedication to the material.
"Martin is a great director. He can do small movies, he can do big movies," Reynolds explained. "Martin is a very smart, very shrewd guy. He knows how to staff a movie like ["Green Lantern"]. I saw the people that he hired and that had as much to do with my decision as Martin Campbell [in the director's chair]."
Of course, Campbell's vision meant one aspect of the film would never be real for the actor: the costume. Instead of a real Green Lantern uniform, Reynolds wore a grey motion-tracking suit. "You feel about as threatening as Betty White," he joked about the outfit. Once he saw effects tests with the suit painted onto him, the actor felt more secure with the process. "The technology is such that you can do amazing things," he said, though he was quick to point out that he was also aided by wearing an actual Green Lantern ring. "I'm excited about that," he said, flashing it at the assembled journalists. "This is the one I'll be leaving with."
Mentioning his previous — and future — turn as "Deadpool," Reynolds said he had no problem playing both Green Lantern and the Merc with the Mouth. In fact, it would have been more of a conflict if that project or "The Flash" went into production first. "I always thought if I did a 'Deadpool' film, I wouldn't do a 'Flash' movie," he said, referring to both characters being decked out in red costumes and always prepared with a clever quip. "The [Deadpool] movie we're working on is more of a deconstruction of superhero movies," he explained, citing the difference in the tone and scope of "Green Lantern" as making him more comfortable with tackling characters from the cross-town comic company rivals.
Comparing Hal to the quick-witted Wally West version of the Flash and Deadpool, Reynolds explained that his Hal Jordan has a certain tendency towards humor, but it is steeped in the character's personal tragedies. "Anything he does do in that realm is more of a defense mechanism than anything else," he said. "He just uses it as a way to push aside any issues or emotions that may address something real and close to his heart." That "artful deflection" underlies Hal's tendency towards a pilot persona in the mold of Chuck Yeager. "He's a guy who'll throw a punch, tell a joke, or kiss a girl."
Reynolds went deep into researching Hal, looking at the various interpretations of the character over his 60-plus year history and finding continuity between his earliest appearances in "Showcase" and the present Geoff Johns-penned "Green Lantern" series. Despite all his reading, Reynolds considered the movie's script the main source of inspiration for his performance. "My job is to come in and have a very distinct take on this guy [as he is written]. If I haven't got that, then I haven't done the job at all."
One aspect of the script Reynolds found special was the differences between Earth and space. The Earth of "Green Lantern" is familiar to the audience, not at all used to the intergalactic menaces and intrigue of the Corps. Borrowing from Johns' "Secret Origins" storyline, Hal is something of a pariah amongst his family and a bit of a screw-up on the job. "The scenes on Earth, [give us] perspective," he said, with Hal's situation on his home planet affecting how he deals with the aliens he meets as part of his Green Lantern Corps training.
Luckily, the shooting schedule put much of the Earth-bound material in front of the cameras first, with the space scenes set for later, a shcedule Reynolds found immensely helpful to his performance. "Had we started the movie [on the green screen] … that would've been difficult," he said. "I get to take Hal, the Earthling version, into that world."
One truly difficult aspect of the world was dealing with the green energy constructs. They make intuitive sense on the comic book page, but conveying the existence of a sword made of light or a giant boxing glove became a challenge on set. "A lot of times, we build [models of the constructs] and I can get a muscle memory of everything that I'm doing. We'll just do it over and over again, and then we'll just eliminate the solid objects and I'll just continue to do [the scene] without them, " he explained.
Since the designs of the constructs would continue to be fluid through post production, Reynolds and Campbell discussed various options, shooting the scenes in different ways to accommodate the effects crew. "The way Martin shoots action is kind of helpful too," the actor added. "There's no moment where Hal creates a construct and then we stop as an audience to observe it while we [the filmmakers] are secretly patting ourselves the back."
The director also employed actors to stand in for the alien members of the Green Lantern Corps, like Kilowog. "He's this big, scary, intimidating looking guy," Reynolds said of the unnamed British actor who assumed the role of the Corps' drill instructor on set. "His biceps are bigger than my entire life." While the fan-favorite Lantern is completely realized in the computer and voiced by actor Michael Clarke Duncan in the finished film, Reynolds felt the presence of another performer was vital to making the scenes work. "Kilowog and I are incredibly interactive," he said. "It would be impossible to do that with just a voice [reading the lines]; I need the movement."
Briefly discussing about an actor that does appear in the film, he said Mark Strong brought a "weight and dignity" to the part of Sinestro, the de facto GL captain. "When I work with him, I felt like I was in the ring with a bull-fighter," he said. "He's using my energy against me all the time." Like Sinestro, he said Strong exerts "minimal effort for maximum gain."
When the topic of potential sequels was raised, Reynolds referenced the great amount of stories and characters available in the "Green Lantern" canon. "I see it going so far beyond Hal Jordan. He's a key story, but there's so much more to tell. You could go beyond him or [show] the fall of Hal [in 'Emerald Twilight']." Of course, the actor was quick to add the disclaimer that "the first one has to work in order for there to be others." While Reynolds is eager to continue the story, it will be up to moviegoers to decide if he gets to don the gray tracking suit again.

GUILFORD A sample of water taken from Guilford Lake which tested high in E. coli is no cause for alarm, according to the superintendent of the hamlets water district
There is nothing wrong with the water, assured Water Superintendent Jeff Fuller, after he learned some Guilford residents were telling people to start boiling their drinking water.
On Wednesday night, Fuller updated the Guilford town board on testing he has been conducting every other week at Guilford Lake since October. According to Fuller, the testing is being done in accordance with federal regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency, which requires source water for all surface water systems be tested for fecal coliform bacteria including E. coli.
Fuller said he is required to take a total of 26 samples over 12 months, which are sent to Life Sciences Laboratories, an EPA certified lab located in Syracuse, for analysis.

|Desert Observer's Page Palm Springs, CA. Spent Tuesday evening playing Bridge. Hadn't played in almost 30 years. Found an instructor who tutors small groups and he was willing to give me a chance. There were 4 of us – that's a good number for Bridge. We started at 6 p.m. and played for about 3 hours. Was really surprised at how quickly I recalled some of the game's details.
One of the first memories to return was that of the most often used word in the game – PASS. I became quite good at using it. Thought about saying it different ways, using expressive tones, unusual delivery speed rates and even whispering. I refrained for it became evident the other players were more interested in the delay that occurred before I uttered the word. Apparently you're supposed to rather quickly realize when you don't have a bidding hand. In my defense, it was difficult to know whether to PASS or bid. You see, my evening of bidding hands didn't include a genuine winner with which to compare the others. So I spent time wondering if the loser I was holding was a better loser than ones previous.
The instructor provided Cheat Sheets and I referred to one when calculating bidding points. Never had to count higher than 13. Didn't have to do much adding and subtracting for the evening's hands were filled with Jacks, Queens, single and double card suits, and one Royal Flush starting with the deuce of diamonds.
At one point my partner bid 1 Club – and that left me wondering how he knew that's what I had. I responded by bidding 1 Heart which produced a scowl on his face. He responded by bidding 2 Clubs and won the bid. I became the Dummy – thought that would have been obvious when I walked in the door. He played, I watched, we lost.
Fortunately no scores were kept and the instructor said we'd cover that subject in the future. At this point my confidence level in my Bridge-playing skills is quite high. I expect to be ready to enter a Master Novice Tournament well before Christmas.

Marina baby father says he saw his son come back to life
The relieved father of a baby blown into a freezing marina spoke yesterday of the 'pure euphoria' he felt after hearing the youngster had survived.
Martyn Stevens was at home when he heard sirens and shouting after six-month-old Sam was blown off a nearby harbour wall in his pushchair.
'When I got there, Sam was there on the ground and I was told he had been sick. I heard him crying and saw him breathing,' said the 35-year-old, from Watchet, Somerset.
'That feeling you have when you have your first kid is pretty amazing but to see them die and come back to life is awesome, you can't explain that.'
Sam was saved by dockmaster George Reeder, who leapt into the water after hearing Sam's mother, Kate Cooper, screaming.
Psychiatric nurse Tanya Allen was one of the first on the scene when Sam was pulled from the water, and the 43-year-old performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the baby.
'I am so pleased that I have been trained several times, year after year,' she recalled.
'My husband said to me: "I'm so glad you knew what to do, because I wouldn't".'
Mrs Allen praised Mr Reeder, 63, as a 'superman', but he downplayed talk of his heroics by saying: 'I'm just the fella that jumped in. I am glad I could help.'

Internal Control and Risk Management
Risk management strategy and framework
The objectives of the Directors and senior management are to safeguard and increase the value of the business and assets of the Group. Achievement of these objectives requires the development of policies and appropriate internal control frameworks to ensure the Group's resources are managed properly and any key risks are identified and mitigated, where possible.
The Board recognises that it is ultimately responsible for determining the nature and extent of the principal risks it is willing to take to achieve its strategic objectives. It also recognises the need to define a risk appetite for the Group, to maintain sound risk management and internal control systems and to monitor its risk exposures and mitigations to ensure that the nature and extent of risks taken by the Group are consistent and aligned with its strategic objectives.
The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the principal risks faced by the Company and that these systems, which are subject to regular monitoring and review, have been in place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of the Annual Report and financial statements.
The Board further confirms that the systems, processes and controls in place accord with the guidance contained in the Financial Reporting Council's "Guidance on Risk Management, Internal Control and Related Financial Business Reporting".
The Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control processes implemented across the Group, through regular updates and discussions with management and a review of the key findings presented by the external and internal auditors. The Board is responsible for considering the Audit Committee's recommendations and ensuring implementation by management of those recommendations it deems appropriate for the business. A description of the Audit Committee's activities during the year on risk management can be found at /about-us/governance/audit-committee/or on page 68 of the 2016 Annual Report.
During 2016, in accordance with provision C.2.3 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board instructed the Audit Committee to undertake a robust review of the effectiveness of the Group's risk management and internal control systems, covering all material controls including financial, operational and compliance controls. The Audit Committee reported its findings to the Board. From this review of the risk management and internal control systems, the Board did not identify, nor was it advised of, any failings or weakness which it would determine to be significant. The Board concluded that the Group's risk management and internal control systems and processes were operating effectively and therefore a confirmation in respect of necessary actions to be undertaken has not been considered appropriate.
The Group operates on a decentralised basis and the Board has established an organisational structure with clear reporting procedures, lines of responsibility and delegated authority. Consistent with this, the Group operates a top-down/bottom-up approach to risk management, comprising Board and senior management oversight coupled with bottom-up risk management embedded in the day-to-day activities of its individual businesses.
Risk appetite
The Board has undertaken a comprehensive exercise to consider its risk appetite across a number of key business risk areas. The results of this review indicate the relative appetite of the Board across the risk factors at a specific point in time. Any material changes in risk factors will impact the Board's assessment of its risk appetite.
The Board has a higher risk appetite towards its strategic and operational risks and a balanced appetite towards macro-economic and political risk. The Board seeks to minimise all health and safety risks and has a low risk appetite in relation to legal, compliance and regulatory risk. Similarly, a conservative appetite is indicated by the Board with respect to pension and finance-related risks.
The results of the risk appetite review will support the Board's decision making processes during 2017. It is the intention to undertake a review of the Board's risk appetite at least annually.
Internal financial controls and reporting
The Group has a comprehensive system for assessing the effectiveness of the Group's internal controls, including strategic business planning and regular monitoring and reporting of financial performance. A detailed annual budget is prepared by senior management and thereafter is reviewed and formally adopted by the Board.
The budget and other targets are regularly updated via a rolling forecast process and regular business review meetings are held with the involvement of senior management to assess performance. The results of these reviews are in turn reported to and discussed by the Board at each meeting. The Group engages BM Howarth as internal auditor. A total of two internal audit visits, covering 32% of Group turnover prior to the acquisition of Nortek, were completed prior to June 2016. In addition, as part of the fair value exercise carried out on the acquisition of Nortek, the internal auditors visited 37 sites, accounting for 100% of turnover of the former Nortek businesses.
The Directors are pleased to report that there were no material deficiencies and that the majority of the recommendations presented in the internal audit reports have now been, or are in the process of being, implemented.
The Board confirms that, from the review of internal controls, it has not determined any significant failings or weaknesses that it considers to require remedial action. The Board also confirms that it has not been advised of any material weaknesses in the internal control systems that relate to financial reporting.
The Audit Committee also monitors the effectiveness of the internal control process implemented across the Group through a review of the key findings presented by the external and internal auditors. Management is responsible for ensuring that the Audit Committee's recommendations in respect of internal controls and risk management are implemented.
Compliance and ethics
The Company takes very seriously its responsibilities under the laws and regulations in the countries and jurisdictions in which the Group operates and has in place appropriate measures to ensure compliance. A compliance framework is in place comprising a suite of policies governing anti-bribery and anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, competition, trade compliance, data privacy, whistleblowing, document retention and joint ventures. These policies are in place within each business and apply to all directors, employees (whether permanent, fixed-term, or temporary), pension trustees, consultants and other business advisers, contractors, trainees, volunteers, business agents, distributors, joint venture partners or any other person working for or performing a service on behalf of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or associated companies in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has a majority interest.
In addition, in conjunction with their internal audit function, BM Howarth conduct compliance audits across the Group and its businesses to identify any areas for improvement. Furthermore, an anti-bribery and anti-corruption assurance exercise is undertaken by the Group on an annual basis.
During 2015, the Company implemented an externally-hosted whistleblowing hotline across the Group, together with a roll-out of a Group-wide online compliance training platform, covering topics such as antitrust, trade compliance and export controls, data privacy, anti-bribery and anti-corruption and anti-money laundering.

Mushroom, Kale and Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash/
Stuffing acorn squash with kale, mushrooms and quinoa makes for an elegant display and complete gluten free and vegan meal in one bowl, or rather, one squash!
I feel like it's finally safe to turn on the oven again. We've received a small break from evidently the hottest October on record for Los Angeles, and today, I put on a jacket to go outdoors. It's an exciting day. I've been using my oven sparingly during our heatwave, but now, it's all systems go as I cram in all of the fall goodness into a few short weeks. I started with some wild rice laced with roasted brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, and this week, I've got stuffed acorn squash.
Acorn squash is a great immune booster and the fiber keeps digestion in balance. It has a lot of Vitamin C and the Vitamin A is great for vision and skin. The antioxidants in acorn squash also help with cancer prevention.
Acorn squash are a nice, small size, which means you can scoop them out and use them as a serving vessel - an edible one. Don't eat the skin though - not that you could get your spoon through it. Luckily the skin is hearty enough that it will keep your ingredients together.
The stuffing for your acorn squash can vary. I like having a gluten free grain like quinoa or you could even use my veggie wild rice. Kale and mushrooms mixed in nicely with the quinoa, but choose your favorite vegetable and enjoy this wonderful fall dish.
Stuffed Acorn Squash
Serves 4
- 2 acorn squash
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 bunch of kale, back rib removed and coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup cooked quinoa (instructions here)
- 3-4 tablespoons of favorite fresh spices - basil, oregano, thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 375. Split the squash in half from stem to bottom, scoop out the seeds and discard. Take a fork and poke a few holes in the skin. Grab a rectangular baking dish and fill with about 1/4" of water and place squash, cut side down. Bake until soft, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the coconut oil to large skillet over a medium heat. Sautee the shallots and garlic for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Allow the moisture to run off from the mushrooms and once dry and golden, add the kale and stir. Place a lid on top of the pan to allow the kale to steam. When the kale has wilted, remove the lid and take it off the heat. Add the quinoa and desired spices and combine.
- When the squash are soft, remove from the oven, season with a little olive or coconut oil and salt and pepper, and then fill with the quinoa-veggie mixture.

Poll: Public strongly supports Medicare, opposes cuts
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
About two-thirds of poll respondents said they favor quick governmental action to reduce the deficit. However, more than 70% said this could be achieved without drastic Medicare cuts. Eighty-five percent said they oppose across-the-board Medicare premium increases. The same percentage said they would support legislation to push drug companies to lower the costs of medications for seniors, which would also save the Medicare program money.
The Medicare program is working well, according to 60% of total respondents and 80% of seniors.
Just over half of respondents registered opposition to raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, as Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) proposed as part of a Medicare/Medicaid reform plan issued Jan. 25, the same day the poll was released. Critics argue premiums will rise if less costly younger beneficiaries are cut from the program. Some long-term care operators say cost cutting should focus on better integration of care.
Fewer respondents – 46% – indicated opposition to any Medicaid cuts. Asked if their state should expand Medicaid under an optional provision of the Affordable Care Act, 52% said yes and 42% said no.

On August 8th, 2018, The FBINHCAAA held the training program Until Help Arrives. This program instructs the average non-medical citizen on techniques to use to stop severe bleeding.
The program was held at the New Haven Police Sub Station at 332 Whalley Avenue, New Haven. At the end of the training the attendees had a skill set to assist during an emergency such as a motorcycle accident or a multiple trauma incident.
The program was led by experts Mike Vincelli and Dave Heiden
In connection with our new program supporting the FBI New Haven field office's victims' assistance unit, the Association assembled three backpacks full of the requested items, including gift cards and a note of encouragement from a member's young daughter. Courtney Litowitz, Victim Specialist, accepted the delivery and had the following to say:
The election results are in for the 2018/2019 Board of Directors. The following individuals have been elected to a two year term on the Board in the following positions:
· Bob Caplan - Vice President
· Elizabeth Getrost- Communications
· Mike Vincelli - Education and Training
· Dave Heiden - Education and Training
· Robert Silvestri - Compliance
Congratulations to all – we look forward to another successful year with your help and expertise!
Note that the remaining board positions (President, Secretary, Membership, and Finance) will continue to serve until the end of 2018.
The holiday party was held in Woodbridge at Solun Tapas restaurant. It was well attended by Association members, as well as potential new members. Attendees also included SAC Patty Ferrick and several FBI colleagues.
President Bill Wade summarized both our accomplishments during the last year, as well as highlights of our plans and initiatives for 2018.
Many thanks to those who contributed to our door prizes – they were a great bonus!

Our thanks to Bill, Bob C, Mike, Lou, Vesna, Angela, Elizabeth and Sandra for their help!
And many thanks to the individuals and organizations who donated:

On Saturday, October 28, the New Haven CAAA joined other community and law enforcement organizations at the first Community, Cops & Culture event, held at Albertus Magnus College. Below is Charlie Grady's summary of the event and also some photos. Bill and Annabelle were given the opportunity to speak, and both Senator Blumenthal and SAC Ferrick were in attendance. A great event!
From Charlie Grady:
NHFO, this past Saturday the FBI Outreach Team in partnership with Connecticut State Police, New Haven Police and the Anti-Defamation League of CT held the first Community, Cops & Culture event at Albertus Magnus College. Ten (10) different countries were represented by CT police officers that are 1st generation immigrants from those countries as they presented stories of their journey to the United States and their career paths. Over 125 attendees were educated in cultures and histories typically not discussed in other forums.
One of the highlights of the day was the showing of the documentary "Waking In Oak Creek" with guest speakers from the film Arno Michaelis and Pardeep Kaleka. Arno a former "Skin Head" spoke passionately about his past as a "solider of hate" and how he was transformed by the very individuals that he once hated. Pardeep's father was killed by a member of the same hate group Arno once belonged to and helped to create. Both men formed a non-profit called "Serve2Unite" and now travel the country teaching tolerance and understanding of cultures as a way to unite all Americans.
Our Citizen's Academy and Future Law Enforcement Youth Academy (FLEYA) Alumni also presented about our program's personal impact on themselves and the community.

600 State St. New Haven, CT 06511
Our Association was offered two sessions at the Milford Police training facility's high tech virtual range. We each took a turn running through various scenarios posing as police in order to gain a better understanding of the decision making process they face. We received both an orientation and a debrief when we had all completed our turns.
The three police department employees who coordinated it couldn't have been more professional. The event also allowed for social time for members.
The VA Spring (summer) Barbecue at the West Haven VA Hospital was a great success – in spite of some challenges!
A team composed of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), VA employees and volunteers from our Alumni Association served up the lunch - and the weather was perfect.
The original estimate of 200 provided to us for the number of participants was far too low for how many showed up. The actual crowd of over 600 waited patiently in a long line in the courtyard. It was a scramble, and thanks to our volunteers it went off without a problem!
We received many expressions of gratitude and interest in us and who we are, and had two posters with our name and the event name. The three groups agreed we would do it again next year - and be ready for 1,000 should they come.
Saturday 6/24/17 was the culmination of the 2017 Future Law Enforcement Youth Academy – the graduation ceremony took place on Yale's West Campus and was well attended by students, parents, FLEYA alumni, law enforcement, the FBI, and our Association.
Charlie Grady, as the master of ceremony made it clear this endeavor includes a great collaboration between FBI, Yale and law enforcement, as well a unique opportunity for the students. Their keynote speaker was Connecticut's first US Attorney, Deidre Daly, who clearly understood the spirit of the Academy and provided inspiration to students and attendees. All of this was preceded by a dignified color guard, who marched out the flags and we all stood for the pledge of allegiance.
During the luncheon, Charlie thanked our Association and had Annabelle, Bob and Elizabeth stand to applause. Senator Richard Blumenthal said some encouraging words and the FBI had its resident DJ setting the mood with music.
The FBI hung a banner with the FBI, FLEYA and CAAA logos
Many thanks to:
· Bill, who had many communications with Yale to arrange for the food
· Adam and Bob for working the chain of custody for the payment to Yale.
· Annabelle, who arrived just in time to assist with banner hanging and the FBI store.
Elizabeth, who brought flowers and balloons to dress up the location

Family First
Blessed Homesickness
Photo: MorgueFile
Holiday arrangements did not happen as planned this past year. I found myself floundering about in a melancholy haze—going through the motions yet feeling sad and homesick.
I started reading a new book and came across a sentence that struck me like a bulls eye dart. The author described missing her daughter as a loss re-opening an older, deeper sense of loss. I didn't get to see our daughter for the second Christmas in a row. And that happens with adult children and life circumstances. Yet since my mother died, my daughter's hugs and presence help fill that gap in my life.
So a few days ago, I finally cried some tears in the car with my husband when I explained my recent feelings. His "let's fix it," question was, "Should we get you a plane ticket to Michigan?" I will defer until Spring, yet I gave him the honest answer, "What I'm homesick for, isn't there anymore." Childhood memories, memories of my children and our parents, fantasies of what life used to be like—it's all different now. I can't even trust that all the memories are correct.
As a child, I do remember staying for a few nights with my grandparents a mere 10 or so miles from my home. I might as well have been on the other side of the earth—so intense were the feelings of being away from the familiar. I never wished to experience youth camp or boarding school. I truly loved being with my pets and roaming my farm fields. Somehow, that place gave me visions of what an eternal existence might be like in a Heaven with endless friendly beasts and awesome landscapes.
Sense of Heritage, Roots, and Connection
I am a deeply nostalgic person and I'm trying to come to terms with why the past always seems to stick to me like dragging around a piece of toilet paper stuck to my heel. At times, I have cursed this part of me. At other times I have claimed it as a strength—a sense of heritage, roots and connection. Did I also inherit that anxious family gene that seems to appreciate traveling within a 50-mile radius? Or maybe it is the traumatic result of making 11 moves in 33 years of marriage, resulting in an uncertainty about home's location? Perhaps that is why I appreciate a doorknob hanger that states, "Home is where the dog is."
I sometimes fear that God must tire of my internal compass that often replays like that weary creature in "
." the movie, who continually pointed to the sky and crooned, "H-h-o-o-me…" Now past the halfway point in my earthly journey, I am realizing that this unshakable homesickness has a purpose. When I can't bear the thought of a future without a family member, when I miss the consolation of a dear-loved pet, when I want an endearing story to never end or a breathtaking performance to continue —I am reminded that God created me for Home and for Eternity. I believe that God uses my melancholy disposition to reach me, year after year, event after event. The only truly abiding home that I will have is with the Spirit of God abiding in me to remind me of the rest and security that I long for with Jesus. "Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him'" (John 14:23).
Nothing totally makes up for that unresolved feeling--not photos, voice recordings, or antiques from the family farm. He has given me just enough homesickness to make me continually long for that day when I will truly be at Home and I won't have to leave or say good-bye again.

From Hamilton, New Zealand:
I am 38 years old. I have had type 1 diabetes for 25 years. I am currently on Humalog insulin. For the last few years, I have been having severe itching, predominantly on my back, and particularly on areas which have tight clothing (bra line, etc.). I have seen a skin specialist, who has tried a couple of different allergy pills without a great deal of success. She said there was definitely an unusual amount of wealing on my skin.
I have seen mention of this type of itching in a couple of articles related to diabetes. Is there anything related to the diabetes which could be causing the itching? If so, what is the most appropriate way of getting treatment for this?
Although it is true that many patients report nonspecific itching of the skin before diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, I do not believe a cause has been found and it usually goes away when the diabetes is diagnosed and treated. Allergies to insulin usually cause itching at the injection site, so this is unlikely to be the cause of your problem. It is possible that you are allergic to something in the fabric that is touching your skin or even the laundry detergent you use. You might want to consult an allergist if you have not already done so.

Muscle cars are known as beasts on the road in terms of their size and heaviness. When you are buying a muscle car, the first thing you look at is its engine. Behind every great muscle car is a bad ass engine that will enable it to accelerate at very high speeds. How do you determine if an engine will bring your car to greater heights or not? Here's a little mnemonic for you: A great muscle car engine should Sound E.P.IC.
Sound, Efficiency (in Fuel Usage) Power and Installation Cost.
Your car is a phony if it does not produce the deep, rumbling sound a classic muscle car is expected to make. This sound makes the car's presence and speed known among its class. Just to be clear, it shouldn't be too loud to cause noise pollution. It should be orderly, perfectly synced and timed.
When idle, the sound emitted should be systematic and doesn't skip. Noises that sound like clinking or knocking could be a sign of a big problem that should be resolved immediately. Sputtering or gasping sounds may be due to a leak in the exhaust system.
Efficiency In Fuel Usage
Efficiency in fuel usage and muscle cars are two concepts that are not usually associated with each other. However, there are cars that use small V8 engines that despite the smaller horsepower and torque, they still perform very well and is enjoyable to drive. The Ford Mustang is one of the most popular small engine muscle cars. The engine may produce up to 300 hp and a high amount of torque. While the engine produces a lot of power, it also helps achieve up to 20 MPG on the highway.
Some engines are low in fuel efficiency. The Chevrolet 350 provides more than 500 horsepower but comes with additional costs. This engine can only get you between 10 to 17 miles per gallon. The Dodge Magnum 440 and Dodge Hemi are two other very popular engines found in many Chrysler muscle cars. These engines create power up to 500 horsepower. However, don't expect to get more than 10 or 12 miles per gallon.
There is a wide variety of engines that can give your muscle a great boost of power.
The Hemi engine is a series of different V8 engines. It has eight separate valves for internal combustion. They have huge capacities that exceed five litres. Its hemispherical shape allows repositioning of the valves in the engine chamber to allow more space. This makes it more powerful than its non-hemi counterparts.
The Rocket Engine was said to be responsible for initiating the popularity of muscle cars. They display V8 capabilities and humongous chambers. This engine produces well over 150 horsepower, considered to be very high during their prime.
There are also separate, non-manufacturer made engines called crate engines. They are the most popular choice of engines nowadays. They are usually much more powerful than the standard vehicle. However, these engines are expensive, not to mention some of them are very dangerous and illegal for use on the road.
A High Performance Pontiac Crate Engine
Installation Costs
You also need to consider installation costs. It could be more costly to remove the old engine and install the new one based on the built and model of the vehicle. Some installations are more complicated than others, making it more laborious and expensive.

Scott Ballard
At age 37, Scott Ballard has had many accomplishments in just a 15-year professional career. Since 2008, Ballard has served as president and CEO of PJ's Coffee of New Orleans and New Orleans Roast, when the company was acquired by him and his brothers.
As president/CEO of PJ's, Ballard has led the company to a nearly 200 percent growth each year for four years with his brothers. A growth which includes 63 locations and partnerships with well-known companies such as Royal Sonesta, Waldorf Astoria, Windsor Court, New Orleans Convention Center, Rouses, Winn Dixie, Walmart and Ruth's Chris Steak House, plus many more. Ballard's leadership with his brothers has resulted in private label coffees such as Saints Black & Gold Blend (currently flying off the shelves) and Inaugural Blend which had been served on board Air Force One and in the White House. Ballard currently serves as owner of these great brands with his two brothers, Paul and Steven.
Before PJ's Coffee was acquired, Ballard worked side by side with his brothers Paul and Steve on developing the restaurant and franchise model for what is today WOW Cafe & Wingery, with 85 locations nationwide by the end of 2011. As co-president and CFO of WOW, he was integral in forging a partnership with Sodexo to establish a 90-location deal on college and university campuses across the country. He remains active with WOW, serving as a principal in the company with his brothers.
Ballard's first experience in the world of franchising was in 1997 when he opened a Smoothie King in Athens, Ga. He eventually opened eight more store in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill region of North Carolina with his brother, Steven.
Though he is increasingly busy running PJ's Coffee and Wow Cafe with his brothers, Ballard appreciates the importance of community involvement. As such, he has graduated from the St. Tammany Chamber Leadership program, takes a leadership role in Hope House and its Mad Hatter Tea Program, and serves on the executive board of St. Paul's High School Alumni Association. Additionally, he is an active member of Project Red Light, a Northshore organization to assist those afflicted with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. He is a lifetime member of the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce and is also an active member in the Specialty Coffee Association of America, The International Franchise Association. He has also been selected by many organizations as a leader in the community. City Business 2010 selected him and his brothers as the 2010 Culinary Connoisseur Business owners of the year. Gambit Magazine has also selected Ballard as one of the 40 under 40 most influential business men of the year in 2008. Ballard and his brothers were selected by the West St. Tammany Chamber "All in the Family Award" in 2003, which is business of the year. He also received with his brothers The "St. Tammany" Award given by the Chamber of Commerce to the "Best Business of the Year" in 2009. In Ballard's leadership with Wow and PJ's with his brothers their businesses have been honored as City Business 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 "Top 100 Private Companies" and The Future 50 in the Unites States by Restaurant Business Magazine. Ballard also was chosen as "Humanitarian of the Year" award given by Louisiana Cookin' Magazine in 2010.
Ballard was also appointed by the governor of Louisiana and confirmed by the Louisiana Senate to serve a six year term on the Louisiana Board of Regents in 2010.
Ballard is a graduate of Tulane University with a degree in political economics. He is married to Kristi Ballard and has three children: Skylar, Jack and Dylan. The Ballard's reside in St. Tammany Parish.

Headliner: Genentech's Len Kanavy
Genentech VP, commercial operations, Len Kanavy was surprised, humbled and honored to receive this year's honorable mentor award from Healthcare Businesswomen's Association.
"I just try to do the right things for people and stay honest to my beliefs," he says.
Kanavy lives by the tenets of servant leadership (detailed in the book by Robert K. Greenleaf), and his mentoring philosophy is rooted in the knowledge that personal and professional lives are inextricably linked.
"If you always put your team success first, everything else will follow," he says.
Kanavy, who joined Genentech in September 2006, after 18 years at Novartis, has more women leaders (six of seven) on his team than any other team in the company.
"He has taught us not just about management, but about true leadership," says Elizabeth Jeffords, Genentech director, market planning. "It has been a true blessing to work for him. I have thrived under his tutelage, and he has celebrated my successes."
Carol Wells, senior director, commercial training
& development, adds, "Len is very big on personal accountability. A leader who doesn't hesitate to take responsibility and accountability is a rarity. You feel like you're in it with him every step of the way. He backs you verbally and emotionally and sets a great example of accountability."
Kanavy says he strives to create an environment that brings out the best in people. "[I'm] not giving all the answers or pretending I have all the answers," he says. "One of the best questions I learned was, 'What do you want to do about that?' It evolves into [employees saying], 'Here's what's going on, and here's what we want to do.' Nirvana is getting an email that says, 'Here's what happened, and here's what we did.' It's getting people to feel comfortable with their own abilities and decisions."
Wells adds, "It's such a positive and empowering environment in which to work, and it really brings out the best in people. He has eliminated trepidation about being the best [we] can be."
At 17, Kanavy went to work rounding up carts in the parking lot at an IGA grocery store in Taylor, PA. He took over as general store manager in 1986 and stayed until graduating from University of Scranton with a BS in management in 1988. Given the "somewhat limited" career options in the grocery business, Kanavy joined Sandoz as a sales rep (a position his father held for 25 years). His brother and sister were also Sandoz reps, and Kanavy, who had a background in biology, loved being able to combine his love of science and business.
"I enjoyed calling on doctors and getting the sales," he says. "I tend to be competitive. It was fun to convince a doctor that a product was the best choice for patients."
Kanavy earned his MBA and moved up to VP, business analysis and VP, commercial operations, and Sandoz evolved into Novartis. Kanavy's mother had a hand in helping him see the value of standing by employees in times of need. "My mom got very sick and [Sandoz] handled it really well," Kanavy recalls. "That was very important to my family, and I saw the loyalty that resulted. I take that into the way I handle life situations. It pays huge dividends to handle them with respect for individuals and make short-term adjustments."
Jeffords cancelled a business trip to New York after her young children became ill. "I didn't feel bad at all," she says. "Len is very supportive of both [my personal and professional life]."
It's no surprise that Kanavy says there's nothing he'd
rather do than watch his children (ages 14 and 19) participate in "whatever
interests them." Of his many business accomplishments, Kanavy is particularly
proud of one realized at his Novartis goodbye party. "There [were] hundreds of
people, and I could look at every person and remember the project we worked on
and also when someone's mom was sick or when someone had nanny problems and
needed to leave at 2:00 every day for two months," he says. "It was very
humbling to have that many people say goodbye and to be able to know them at
that level."—Tanya Lewis

About 26Hot

Within the 1,800-square-foot space, which is kept at 105 degrees and 40% humidity, yogis move through 26 postures designed to build muscle and cardiovascular health.

Actor Paul Rudd is nursing a sore throat after screaming in excitement as his beloved Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles to advance to the World Series baseball championships on Wednesday (15Oct14).
The This Is 40 star, who was raised in Kansas City and graduated from the University of Kansas, was among the fans in the stands at the Royals' Kauffman Stadium in Missouri as the home team clinched the title in the American League Championship Series by winning the game 2-1.
The Royals will now compete with the winner of the San Francisco Giants/St. Louis Cardinals series in the prestigious World Series for the first time in 29 years.
Rudd celebrated the victory by rushing the field with other superfans after Wednesday's game and he admitted his sporting excitement had cost him his voice.
He told local news station KMBC, "I've lost my voice.... It was amazing. This entire town feels it."
Rudd then jokingly invited fellow Royals fans to continue the celebrations at his mother's place nearby, quipping, "I'm gonna be partying at my mum's house! Party at my mum's, man! She's out of town, I got a keg. It's gonna be sweet! Five dollar cover!"

Learning . . . Living . . . Exploring
Do you get involved with friends and in activities easily? Do you wish you were more able to get involved and have a voice? Are you interested in learning strong leadership practices? The Leadership Learning Community is for both experienced and new leaders who want to learn and practice skills that will help make them more effective in whatever they do. Whether you have been a leader in high school or you want to expand your interests into new areas at college, the Leadership Learning Community will help you -
- Form and articulate goals - for college and life beyond college
- Learn to make choices that further your goals
- Explore ways of managing your time, listening to others, and resolving conflict
- Consider exemplary leadership practices for student leaders
In the Leadership Learning Community you will --
- Take a specially-designated section of the humanities seminar Augustine and Culture (ACS) for a full academic year with other students in Leadership. This course focuses on the question "Who Am I" in relation to leadership skills and styles
- Participate in a one-credit workshop style class that meets weekly in the residence hall, called Villanova Experience (VEXP), which will explore:
- An active approach to leadership in which students learn and practice valuable life-lessons
- Students' values and styles of communication, conflict resolution, and working with others in order to help them become more effective
- Students' leadership skills and styles, and engage in group projects to further their own skills
- Opportunities to work in small groups
- Live together in St. Monica Hall on south campus
- Elect to participate in specially designed lectures and themed meals centered on the texts they read in ACS; enjoy a meal with their classmates at their professor's home; attend cultural events such as plays or films on campus or in nearby theaters; and even take a trip to the Gettysburg battlefield after reading the private papers of Lee and Lincoln.
"Becoming part of the leadership community was the second best decision I've made, right behind my decision to come to Villanova. The Experience helps ease the transition into college. It was here where I met my first friends on campus, and the Experience became my catalyst into the Villanova community. Learning Communities open students' eyes to real-world issues and brings these topics beyond the classroom, and back into the residence hall. In the Villanova Experience you get to live with people who have similar interests and goals as you. When I think of "Villanova," I will forever think of my leadership community, which helped transform me from a high school senior into a college freshmen."
---Elizabeth Brennen, Class of 2013

Some notes about names: Karin or Carin is often short for Katrina, Katarina, Katrin, Chatrina or Cathrina, a Swedish woman's name.You maybe know that part of the people living in Finland speak Swedish, and therefore aname like Katrin could come from either country.Karin could also sometimes be short for Kristina, but more often the name Kerstin or Stina is short for Kristina or Christina.Lax means salmon, and your spelling Locks gives the pronunciation.
Per Erik Soderlund (Glans) moved from Tuna 1860 and emigrated 1880.

Not to be out done by the recent dominance of the Tesla brand all other manufacturers are spending serious money and time in the development of their own electric cars. This means that in order to stay competitive auto manufacturers are having to be creative.
And ahead of the upcoming Shanghai Motor show Audi have released a series of pictures showing a concept Audi e-tron car it has in development and due to debut. The concept car which is due to join the new EV range meaning it's likely that the coupe will be based on the same MLB platform rather than the new MEB architecture the VW Group has developed exclusively for electric vehicles.
It is also expected to have a range in the area of 300 miles on a single charge, which means it is a serious contender to today's petrol cars.

The tornadoes which struck between 28 February and 3 March, predominantly in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Alabama may cost insurers between $1 billion and $2 billion, said Eqecat, adding that the numbers were not final.
At least 13 states were affected by the storms.

text: Okay, so I quicksoledered the Wiikey and the solder points seem good. Now what? I downloaded the 1.1 Wiikey ISO thing from Wiikey.cn, burned it and inserted the disc. The Menu comes up and I can toggle between "Wiikey configuration" and "Reset console" using the reset-key on the wii-station. What I cant figure out is, how do I actually accept/confirm my selection? The Wiimote seems completely unresponsive and the 4 lights just flash when I press something on it. In the other menus and games (outside of the wiikey disc) everything seems to be working fine and I even tried running a homebrew game (Sonic, PAL just like my console) and it worked great. So how do I config the wiikey? Thanks

April 20th marked the two-year anniversary of BP's Macondo Well explosion, which set off one of the worst oil spills in our nation's history, causing extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats, and to the coastal communities which depend upon them. The full impacts of the disaster are still unfolding, but in Shell Beach, Louisiana, there are signs of how marine life is reacting to the oil and the dispersants which flooded their waters two years ago.
Eve Abrams visited Campo's Marina, as boats needing gas, ice and bait pulled in and out along the bayou.

A couple who thought they had won a car in a promotional sale at a Beaufort car dealership began cursing and attempting to hit employees when they were told they had not won the car, according to a report from the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
The couple arrived at Butler Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep under the impression they had the grand-prize-winning number, but an employee told them they had won only a $5 Walmart gift card, not a new car.
The couple became irate, cursing at employees and trying to kick and hit them, but they were both carrying young children and were unable to land any blows, the report said. One of them threw a contest poster at an employee, hitting the ceiling and breaking some of the tiles.
The dealership did not pursue charges against the couple, but the 44-year-old husband was charged with driving with a suspended license after the family tried to drive away from the dealership before they were stopped by deputies.
