Advanced Bronchoscopy
The University of Chicago Medicine is a leader in applying innovative solutions that enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment of a full range of lung diseases.
Less Invasive Option Provides Unparalleled Access to Tiny Lung Structures
We are the first hospital in Illinois to use the superDimension inReach™ System to identify and, in some cases, treat cancer and other medical concerns within the maze of the lungs' airways. This technology extends significantly beyond the capabilities of standard bronchoscopes, enabling physicians to locate pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions deep within the airways -- without any incisions or surgery.
At the University of Chicago Medicine, we have more experience than any other Illinois hospital in using this advanced inReach bronchoscopy system. The Advanced Bronchoscopy Center, a part of the University of Chicago Center for Advanced Lung Diseases, is a regional leader in using this state-of-the-art technology to reach lesions that previously were only accessible through surgical means -- or could not be reached at all. With this innovative technology, cancerous lesions buried in the bronchial airways can be reached, biopsied and even removed -- without any incisions for access. No incisions mean there is no scarring, minimal pain or discomfort, and patients can resume normal activities quickly. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.
University of Chicago physicians also use this technology to fine-tune diagnosis and treatment of non-cancerous lung diseases, including sarcoidosis, interstitial lung diseases, infections within the lungs, and emphysema.
How inReach Bronchoscopy Works
The inReach advanced bronchoscopy technique combines sophisticated technologies, including: electromagnetic global positioning system navigation (similar to GPS technology available for cars), three-dimensional CT scanning (which shows the patient's lung in fine anatomical detail), a sensor-equipped steerable catheter that permits 360-degree travel through the lung's complex bronchial tree, computer software, and other specialized equipment. These elements combine to create powerful capabilities for diagnosing lung cancer and other diseases of the lung.
The system enables physicians to reach lesions within the lungs and chest that are visible on chest X-rays but are unreachable with standard bronchoscopes. This is a non-surgical alternative to more traditional options for reaching into the bronchial tree, such as a mediastinoscopy procedure (which requires an incision in the throat to insert the scope), CT-guided biopsy, or open chest surgery. In contrast, the advanced bronchoscopy procedure using the inReach technology is performed through a bronchoscope inserted into the mouth or nose and down the windpipe -- so there are no surgical incisions.
How Advanced Bronchoscopy Is Used
Physicians at the University of Chicago Medicine use the inReach system as well as other advanced bronchoscopy technologies for a variety of applications, including:
- Biopsies of lesions or masses situated in hard-to-access locations within the bronchial branches. This ability to biopsy previously unreachable lesions means that tumors can be found, biopsied and treated at an earlier stage when there is the best likelihood of successful treatment.
- Supplementary diagnostic testing for other lung diseases, including interstitial lung diseases, sarcoidosis and emphysema.
- Alternative to invasive surgery for diagnosing many conditions within the lungs.
- Diagnosis and staging of lung cancer through use of transbronchial needle aspiration of the lymph nodes. As an alternative to mediastinoscopy, the transbronchial approach avoids any incision to the patient's neck or airway.
- Identification and treatment of pre-cancers in the airways, often during a single procedure.
- Diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes located within the mediastinum deep within the center of the chest.
Advanced Technologies Detect Early-Stage Lung Cancer
Physicians at the University of Chicago Medicine are using other advanced bronchoscopy techniques to find and remove pre-cancerous lung lesions at their earliest and most-treatable stage. Adding autoflourescence capability to conventional bronchoscopy tools significantly enhances the physician's ability to detect lesions as early as the stage 0 pre-cancerous phase -- when the lesion is just a few cells in thickness and barely visible to the naked eye.
Pre-cancerous tissue found in the lung is called "intraepithelial neoplasia." Without removal, intraepithelial neoplasia can progress to squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common type of lung cancer.
Intraepithelial neoplasia can be compared to polyps -- a pre-cancerous stage for colorectal cancer that can be found and removed during colonoscopy, or cervical dysplasia -- a pre-cancerous stage for cervical cancer, which can be found during a Pap test.
Conventional bronchoscopy uses "white light" to see inside the lungs, which makes it difficult for the physician to see lesions until they have grown. With fluorescence lighting, tiny lesions illuminate as red areas that are more easily detectable, allowing the physician to remove the lesions before they have any opportunity to grow or invade lung tissue.
Initial results from more than 3,000 patients at multiple medical centers found that adding autoflourescence to conventional bronchoscopy doubled the number of lesions identified, compared to standard bronchoscopy.
Minimally Invasive Biopsy Offers Benefits Over Traditional Biopsy
Physicians here also are leaders in using minimally invasive methods to biopsy lymph nodes in the lungs -- a key step in the staging of suspected lung cancer.
The newer process, called transbronchial needle aspiration, may be recommended after a CT/CAT scan reveals an abnormal lymph node, which may indicate lung cancer. Conventional lung biopsy methods usually require surgery to reach a lymph node and extract a tissue sample for biopsy testing. Patients typically stay overnight in the hospital.
In contrast, with transbronchial needle aspiration there is no need for exploratory surgery to reach the lymph node. Instead, the physician can pass a special needle through the bronchoscope to reach the suspect lymph node and extract tissue for biopsy. This advance means that patients can avoid unnecessary diagnostic surgery. Transbronchial needle aspiration is done on an outpatient basis, usually takes less than 1 hour to complete, and allows patients to return home later the same day.
At the Forefront with State-of-the-Art Techniques
Board-certified University of Chicago pulmonologists are leaders in applying promising new technologies and innovative methods to address lung cancer and chronic respiratory conditions such as emphysema, sarcoidosis, and interstitial lung diseases. These innovations offer patients better ways to detect and treat complex lung diseases. At the University of Chicago Medicine, patients have access to the full spectrum of options, from conventional approaches to leading-edge innovations. Whether choosing the very newest methods or more established approaches, our team tailors their recommendations to meet each patient's specific needs and preferences.

Spin Magazine Sends Cease & Desist To Twitter User @Spin
from the how-not-to-win-friends dept
Spin Magazine tried to claim that there was "confusion" with Eric Rice's @spin account by pointing to tweets that were meant for the magazine, but were directed to Rice instead. Of course, I don't see how Spin Magazine would have any legal claim here, since Eric Rice is an individual and is unlikely to be using the Twitter account for commercial purposes. Honestly, Spin Magazine comes off looking pretty silly here, and could have just tried a friendly approach, rather than running to the lawyers. However, Rice claims that until the C&D showed up, he'd never heard from Spin Magazine, despite his using Twitter for years with the name. We see this kind of thing all the time with lawyers and clients who think breaking out the legal nastygrams is a good way to get people to cooperate. Perhaps the scare tactics work some of the time, but they have a high likelihood of backfiring badly, as well.

Newspaper Tells Reporters Not To Engage With Community
from the the-view-from-nowhere dept
As well, journalists should refrain from debating issues within the Star's online comments forum to avoid any suggestion that they may be biased in their reporting.Seriously. This is a classic example of what journalism professor Jay Rosen refers to as "the view from nowhere," in which a media property spends so much effort trying to make sure that no one thinks it actually has an opinion on anything, that it won't even step in to clear up what's factual and what's not. Too many news organizations feel the need to "present both sides of the story," as if because there are two sides, they're equally balanced, and presenting them both as equal is the equivalent of "objective reporting." It's not. It's inherently biasing whatever side is not being truthful or accurate. In such cases, the press, while hiding behind a claim of being "objective," is really biased in that it's giving undue support to factually incorrect or misleading arguments.
Furthermore, pretending that your staff doesn't actually have an opinion makes them seem robotic and less human. I understand why people value "objective reporting," but pretending someone doesn't have an opinion doesn't make the reporting any more objective than having the reporter clearly state what that opinion might be. Beyond letting people calibrate the rest of that reporter's coverage, it actually shows that the reporter is human and makes them more able to connect with fans.
But apparently, that's not what the Toronto Star wants.
Of course, even worse than these bad social media policies is the Toronto Star's response to the leak and Ingram's story about their policies. The paper's spokesperson, Bob Hepburn, told Ingram that the policy was fine because it is "well in line with what mainstream media organizations have always done. We've always placed some limitations on journalists in terms of them expressing their opinions, either in the newspaper or outside of the newspaper."
I've heard people say that, "if someone tells you a deal term must remain because it's 'standard,' it means they don't understand why it's there either." That seems to be the Toronto Star's response here. Yes, we have braindead, shortsighted and self-defeating social media policies that do more harm than good... but it's okay because they're the same braindead, shortsighted and self-defeating social media policies most of our competitors have. Now there's a standard of excellence to strive for: let's make sure we make the same mistakes everyone else makes.

Corporate takeovers are one thing, but a birthday is a birthday — even if you're Barry Diller. Diane Von Furstenburg wasn't going to let her friend's birthday pass unmarked, so she was planning to throw him a surprise party last night at her Carlyle apartment. In the spirit of fair play, WWD did not contact Diller for comment.
After this year's lackluster holiday season, the out-and-abouts haven't been waiting for winter to blow over to do their thing. The Odeon has been packed every night — John Kennedy Jr. and Daryl Hannah are getting to be regulars. Although no one can believe it, Cafe Tabac is still happening with diehard fans like Christy Turlington, Gianni Versace and Valentino, though the private, dark din of Flowers is giving Tabac a run for its money — as Robert De Niro, Matt Dillon, Claudia Schiffer and Karen Duffy will tell you. Turlington and De Niro were both at the opening of the World Room on 16th Street the other night, and Monica Lynch is throwing a party there later this month. The Markham is still picking up speed, and you can add Julia Child to its list of fans.
"It's a very fun idea for a restaurant," said Child, who took the last of her roast chicken home. "Yes, well they give you such enormous portions there, don't they?"

Yesterday afternoon, we put further Andre Iguodala trade talk on hold in favor of analyzing Iguodala's game with Team USA. This morning, let's jump straight to the trade talk. Last night on cbssports.com, Ken Berger offered a blockbuster trade scenario involving the 76ers, Denver Nuggets, and New Jersey Nets.
Here's the key paragraph for all Sixers' fans:
"New team president Rod Thorn and GM Ed Stefanski – who formerly worked together in New Jersey – could be central to constructing a deal that would compel the Nuggets to move Anthony rather than endure a season-long distraction that ends with Anthony leaving as a free agent after the season. The key pieces of the Philadelphia equation would be the expiring contracts of Jason Kapono ($6.64 million) and Willie Green ($3.98 million), a young talent such as Thaddeus Young, and Andre Iguodala, who is coming off a solid contribution to Team USA's gold-medal performance at the FIBA World Championships. Some executives believe the Sixers would at least discuss including No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner if it meant getting Anthony, but that would defeat the purpose of going over the luxury tax to get Anthony in the first place."
If you want to read the entire article, which is a good read, click here: Trade Scenario.
First, this is still a potential trade scenario that has not "risen to the level of discussion among the teams." Calls this morning to the Philly side of the equation immediately rejected the trade. Multiple folks said "We are not in any discussions at all," and one source with knowledge of the situation said the Sixers have talked "a little" about it internally, but feel they have no "real shot" of getting such a deal done.
With that said, it's still a pretty compelling option, and interesting to discuss. According to Berger, there are a few ways this would play out:
1.) One trade option involves a package that sends Nets draft pick Derrick Favors to the Sixers, Carmelo Anthony to the Nets, and Iguodala to Denver. Of course, these are just the main pieces. There would be others involved to make the deal work.
2.) Sixers acquire Anthony in exchange for a combination which would possibily include Kapono, Green, Young, and Iguodala. The Nets would deal Favors, some draft picks, and guard Devin Harris, with all the pieces rotating to the appropriate teams.
Here are some other points:
*Right now, the Nuggets have an extension offer to Anthony for 3 years/$65 million. So far, he's not signing it. He's said he would consider moves to the Knicks, Nets, Bulls, and Magic. We don't see the Sixers on that list. If they did pull off a trade for him, which is unlikely, would he want to re-sign with the Sixers? That's in (serious) doubt.
*Berger points out that Anthony is good friends with Allen Iverson, and cites someone close to Anthony as saying the Nuggets' star is aware of how harshly Philly can treat its sports stars.
*I've been hearing from different people this summer that Thorn, who drafted Favors with the Nets, is very high on the big man rookie, but probably not enough to give up guys like Iguodala, Young, possibly even Turner.
This trade is one of the more interesting to surface this summer, but it's also (sorry Sixers' fans who want Anthony) very unlikely to go down.
More tomorrow ...

Posidonia australis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Posidonia australis Hook.f.
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This species is a member of the P. australis complex (P. australis Hook.f., P. sinuosa Cambridge & J.Kuo, P. angustifolia Cambridge & J.Kuo) (Campey et al. 2000).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:

|Short, F.T., Carruthers, T.J.R., Waycott, M., Kendrick, G.A., Fourqurean, J.W., Callabine, A., Kenworthy, W.J. & Dennison, W.C.
|Livingstone, S., Harwell, H. & Carpenter, K.E.
Posidonia australis is endemic to southern Australia and northeast Tasmania. The overall population has experienced serious declines documented in 18 studies with an annual decline of 1.8%. It is a slow growing species and takes a long time to recolonize when removed. Major threats to Posidonia australis are coastal development, eutrophication and pollution and sedimentation. Over three generation lengths (15 years) the overall decline is estimated to be 27% which is close to the threshold for the Vulnerable category under A2 criterion with direct observations, a decline in habitat quality, actual and potential levels of exploitation and the effects of pollutants. Therefore this species is listed as Near Threatened.
|Range Description:
|Posidonia australis is endemic to the southern half of Australia, including north and east Tasmania. It is found sporadically from north of Shark Bay in Western Australia southward and along the coast to Walis Lake in New South Wales.
|Countries occurrence:
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – southwest

|Posidonia australis has experienced serious declines documented in 18 studies with an annual decline of 1.8% (Orth and Dennison 2007). Some areas are in recovery. It is common in seagrass communities in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania (Green and Short 2003).
The Posidonia community in Jervis Bay, Australia has suffered large declines in the past (Meehan and West 2000). This community has taken over 25 years to recolonize a total area in this bay of 0.4 ha and is likely to take over a century to repair completely, assuming there is no further damage. This recolonization appears to be entirely by vegetative re-growth. This location has excellent water quality and conditions ideal for recovery (Meehan and West 2000).
Cockburn Sound has been subjected to steady degradation since 1954, with the establishment of an oil refinery and the successive establishments of steel works, fertilizer factories, sewage-treatment facilities, and a power station. This has led to contaminated effluents and increased nutrient loads. Between 1954 and 1978 the meadow in this region (containing P. australis) was reduced from 4,200 to 900 ha. (Cambridge and McComb 1984).
Seagrass loss (Posidonia australis and P. sinuosa) in Oyster Harbour between 1962 and 1988 was the culmination of diffuse nutrient and sediment influx from rural catchments but recovery is possible with time. At the rates of growth measured, transplants placed one m apart will grow together to form a meadow in less than five years (Cambridge et al. 2002).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The temperate seagrass species Posidonia australis can form large monospecific meadows through strong rhizomatous growth, and these meadows are found throughout southern Australia. Posidonia austrails ecosystems are known to be highly productive and are apparently slow growing (West 1990). It grows in continuous meadows in 1-15 m water in sheltered bays (Cambridge and Kuo 1979).
Posidonia australis exists in well developed meadows and typically has continuous cover (Cambridge and Kuo 1979). This species is common in the subtidal environments in Western Australia, to depths of about 12 m. It can exist in depths of up to 22 m in clear non-polluted water. It often grows in meadows mixed with Zostera tasmanica and Halophila ovalis in less-protected areas dominated by sandy sediments in southeast region of Australia, and occupies the gaps between meadows and areas close to water inputs. It is a slow growing species.
Posidonia australis is the dominant seagrass species in a number of southeastern Australian estuaries. This species is important for primary productivity in these systems, supports a variety of detritus feeders and macrofauna, and is an important nursery area for fish (Meehan and West 2004).
Few seedlings of this species are seen in the field. Seedlings likely do not play a role in recovery of damaged meadows as they do not form rhizomes quickly and therefore spread slowly (Meehan and West 2004). The recruitment rate (and generation length) is estimated at five years.
Posidonia australis meadows have a low number of loosely packed shoots with upright-standing leaf blades, and thinning-out of upright-standing leaf blades in the top half of the canopy creating an "open" canopy. Posidonia australis meadows are typically much smaller than those of P. sinuosa. Flowers of this species occur in the top of the canopy, within a zone of minimal leaf area. This may lead to fewer obstructions in the pollen dispersal path (Smith and Walker 2002).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|In southern Australia, leaves were harvested from the beach for soil conditioner and compost mixes (Green and Short 2003).
|Major Threat(s):
Major threats to Posidonia australis are human-induced activities causing increased epiphytism, blocking light and increased drift algal loads (Green and Short 2003). Coastal activities such as port and industrial development also cause direct physical damage. Mining and dredging, eutrophication and pollution from industry, aquaculture and farming, as well as direct physical damage by recreational and commercial boating activities, and to some extent trawling activities also threaten this species (Green and Short 2003).
Posidonia australis is a slow growing species and does not form rhizomes quickly and therefore spreads slowly.
|Conservation Actions:
An application has been submitted for Posidonia australis to be added to the threatened species list for New South Wales and is currently (May 2009) out for public comment. It is expected to be accepted. This will afford the species a level of legal protection in the Australian State (G. Kendrick pers. comm. 2009).
Posidonia australis is included in Shark Bay World Heritage Property which contains more than 4000 km² of seagrass beds of high density. Seagrass beds cannot be damaged without a permit in the state of New South Wales in Australia. It is also protected in various Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), in Fisheries Acts or in National or Marine Park Acts (Green and Short 2003).
More research is needed regarding conservation planning and population trends should be monitored. Conservation measures needed include site protection and management, increased educational awareness, and legislation and enforcement at the national and local levels.

Christian School Educators take "Summer School" Classes at CIU
Dozens of Christian school teachers and administrators from across the nation and around the globe were on the campus of Columbia International University July 7-11 for the International Institute for Christian School Educators (IICSE). The annual event is presented by the Lowrie Center for Christian School Education at CIU.
The Institute focuses on the philosophy of Christian school education and its implications for today's Christian school.
Seminars and workshops offered this year included: "Educating the Next Generation in a World of Uncertainty," "Developing the Mind of Christ" and "Working with the Home."
Most of the sessions were led by professors from CIU's College of Education. The keynote speaker was Dr. Glen Schultz, headmaster of Sherwood Christian Academy in Albany, Ga., and the author of "Kingdom Education."

It's an ironic twist that the same weather conditions that producer high-yielding peanut crops – warm and wet – also provide an ideal environment for diseases to flourish. Fortunately, the tools are available to minimize the impact. And this year, there are a few new materials to add to the arsenal.
Elast 400 was recently approved for use by the EPA and is being touted as an economical alternative for chlorothalonil for leafspot control on peanuts. "This is an older chemistry that has been used on other crops for years," says Austin Hagan, Auburn University Extension plant pathologist. "Rates will vary depending on whether you use it as a tank-mix partner or if you use it alone. When used alone, you'd apply Elast three times – in applications one, two and seven of a resistance management program or in a tank mix with Folicur for applications three thru six."
The fungicide's active ingredient dodine has been marketed in the United States for about 30 years for the control of diseases of fruits like apples and pears as well as several nut crops. "It is distributed by Aceto Agricultural Products and apparently is very price competitive with generic chlorothalonil formulations," he says.
Elast is not a seven-spray product like Bravo, Echo or Equis, says Hagan, but you could include it in your program if you're looking for a value product for leafspot control. When applied alone, Elast 400F may be applied at rates up to 1 ½ pints per acre in 10 to 15 gallons of spray volume per acre for the control of early and late leaf pot diseases on peanut.
Application guidelines for Elast 400F for leafspot control on peanuts are the same as those for formulations of chlorothalonil as well as Tilt Bravo SE, Absolute and Heritage 50W.
"Make the first application of this fungicide between 30 and 40 days after planting. Depending on rainfall patterns, repeat applications of Elast 400F at 10- to 14-day intervals. For the purposes of resistance management, no more than a total of three applications of Elast 400F alone may be made per year. If tank-mixed with another fungicide, the total number of Elast 400F applications may exceed three," says Hagan.
In 2008, Elast 400F was included in fungicide screening trials at the Wiregrass (WGREC) and
Gulf Coast (GCREC) Research and Extension Centers on the AT3085RO peanut cultivar, he says. At both locations, two applications of Elast 400F at 15 ounces per acre were followed by four consecutive applications of Folicur 3.6F at 7.2 ounces per acre and a final application of Elast 400F at 15 ounces per acre, while two applications of Echo 720 (chlorothalonil) at 1 ½ point per acre were followed by a block of four applications of Elast 400F at 12.8 ounces plus Folicur 3.6F at 7.2 ounces acre and a final application of Echo 720 at 1 ½ pint per acre.
In both trials, fungicide treatments were applied at approximately 14-day intervals and a total of seven applications were made. Leafspot diseases were rated using the Florida 1 to 10 rating scale and white mold damage was determined at digging.
In both studies, says Hagan, Elast 400F replaced Echo 720 in a Folicur resistance management program. The level of leafspot control and yields where stand alone applications where both Elast 400F or Echo 720 bracketed four consecutive applications of Folicur 3.6F in the WGREC trial was similar, he says.
When Elast 400F replaced Echo 720 as a tank-mix partner with Folicur 3.6E, no drop off in leafspot control or yield response was seen at WGREC. While the Echo 720/Elast 400F plus Folicur 3.6F and the Echo 720/Echo 720 plus Folicur 3.6F programs gave better
leafspot control than Echo 720 alone, yield for all of these fungicide programs were similar, adds Hagan.
At the GCREC, Elast 400F was also an effective replacement for Echo 720 in a Folicur resistance management program. Leafspot and rust ratings as well as for the Echo 720/Elast 400F plus Folicur 3.6F and the Echo 720/Echo 720 plus Folicur 3.6F programs did not significantly differ. A significant decline in leafspot and rust control was seen when Folicur 3.6F was applied without an Echo 720 or Elast 400F tank mix partner. Echo 720 alone gave the same level of leafspot and rust control as the Echo 720/Elast 400F plus Folicur 3.6F and the Echo 720/Echo 720 plus Folicur 3.6F programs. At the GCREC, yields were statistically similar for all of the fungicide programs.
"Additional trials need to be conducted to determine how best to utilize Elast 400F, particularly as a stand-alone treatment as well as the influence of application rate and treatment interval on the control of leafspot diseases on peanuts with this fungicide," says Hagan.
A new formulation of Evito also is available this season, Evito-T, says Hagan. It is a pre-mix of fluoxastrobin and tebuconazole. "It's more of a leafspot/white mold material with tebuconazole added to the formulation to beef up the white mold control and give a little protection as far as resistance management," he says.
Many Alabama producers saw a fair amount of pressure from leafspot in 2008, says Hagan. "Rotation has a lot to do with how much pressure you'll get during the course of a growing season. If you're in a good rotation, it takes a lot longer for the leafspot to get on your peanuts. If it's a field where peanuts have never been grown before, you're not going to have much leafspot pressure. But the next year, if you put peanuts out there, you'll have pressure," he says.
Reduced tillage – compared to conventional tillage – will help to slow down leafspot disease, he says. "Reduced tillage certainly won't control the disease, but it'll slow it down," says Hagan.
New peanut varieties are now available to growers that have some resistance to leafspot, he says, and that's a big help in reducing the amount of damage in a crop. GA-03L, Tifgard and FLA-07 all showed good resistance to leafspot in trials, says Hagan.
Some growers also saw considerable pressure this past year from white mold, he says. "If you have a history of vegetable production – particularly watermelons – you'll see some white mold in your fields. In some of our trials, Tifgard, GA-03L and AP-3 had virtually no white mold. Basically, that translates into higher yields. We get 400 to 600 more pounds per acre yield difference when we drop out the leafspot and white mold damage."
The "very basics" of peanut disease control, says Hagan, still include – where you're planting into a field where you've had peanuts in the past – to start spraying 30 to 40 days after planting, and re-apply every 12 to 14 days, based on weather patterns.
"If it's raining a lot, you may have to shorten the intervals. If you're out in the field spraying, especially a material like Folicur, you may have to cut back to seven days. If you want to save a little money on your leafspot programs, you can band the first and second fungicide applications over the row middles. There's no point in spraying the bare ground between the seedling peanuts – it's just a waste."

Wow, that realy covers just about all of the major battles. I can only think of three other important ones: Jabiim(Clone Wars volume 3), Mon Calimari(Clone Wars Series one and Clone Wars adventures #1), Battle of Rhen Var(Battlefront 1 and Clone Wars Video Games), and the Battle of Thule (Clone Wars video games.) I am very curious about where you get your information, like for Geonosis, were did you find the casualty numbers. That was interesting, and on Kamino, I thought there were more than three ARC Troopers deployed. Well anyway, great job!

Temporary Parking Areas
There are NO temporary parking areas or spaces for students at Lasell College. If a student needs to park their vehicle for a limited time in an area for which they do not have a permit, they must notify Campus Police at ext. 2279 prior to parking their vehicle. An officer will advise them of where to park and the vehicle must be moved within the designated time period or it will be subject to ticketing. Students who arrive at their assigned lot and find all of the parking spaces taken, MUST notify Campus Police immediately. They will advise the student where to park until spaces in the assigned lot can be made available. Students MUST NOT take it upon themselves to park in another lot, as they will be subject to being ticketed and towed. Activating one's emergency flashers while parked illegally will not prevent a ticket from being issued.
Guest Parking
All guests visiting Lasell College must register their vehicle with the Lasell College Police. Vehicles may be registered and a Guest Permit may be obtained from Campus Police at any hour. The student and the guest must both be present to obtain the permit. The student is required to present their Lasell I.D., and the guest is required to present their driver's license and vehicle registration. Short-term permits (up to three nights) are free.
*Please note that guests, while on Lasell College property, are the responsibility of the Lasell student. The host Lasell student is responsible for all fines or towing charges incurred. Failure to register guest vehicles will result in a ticket and tow of the vehicles at the student's expense.
Parking Permits
Any commuting student may obtain a parking permit. For returning resident students, parking permits are issued through a "lottery by academic class" priority-ranking system. First-year, resident students are not normally allowed to obtain a parking permit. First-year resident students with special, extenuating circumstances may request a parking permit, documenting the reasons for the request, in writing; the written request should be addressed to the Director of Public Safety. A limited number of spaces may be available for transfer, resident students. Students bringing their own vehicle to campus, (or one registered to a family member), must register the vehicle with Campus Police. All students must complete the proper paperwork, pay the appropriate fee, obtain a parking permit, and observe all rules and regulations for vehicles on campus. A student's vehicle must be properly registered and insured in the student's home state in order to be permitted to remain on College property. Unregistered and/or uninsured vehicles are subject to immediate ticketing and towing.
Any individual who alters a permit, or is found in possession of a counterfeit or altered parking sticker, may be subject to criminal prosecution, temporary or permanent loss of parking privileges, and fines in the amount up to the cost of a full-year permit.
Parking Fees
A $100.00 non-refundable parking deposit is required of all students applying for a parking permit, and the remaining fee amount must be paid in full prior to the issuance of a parking permit. Parking fees may be paid by the semester or the year. Within a semester, no refund of parking fees will be made to a student who leaves the College or no longer has a vehicle on campus. If applicable, parking fees will be refunded, upon request, to a student who terminates parking prior to the beginning of an academic semester.
Designated Student Parking
Commuter and resident students are issued permits allowing them to park in a specific lot. The assigned lot is the only lot in which a student may park his/her vehicle.
Commuter Students
All commuters will be issued a commuter parking permit. Commuters may park in the designated commuter lots during daytime or evening hours. For the 2013-2014 academic year the commuter lots include: Central, and Upper and Lower Winslow. This permit does not allow for overnight parking. If on occasion a commuting student wishes to park his/her vehicle on campus overnight, that student must notify the Campus Police and let them know that the vehicle will be parked in a designated commuter lot. This will insure that a parking ticket will not be issued that night.
Resident Students
Students residing in College housing who are eligible to have their cars registered on campus, will be issued resident parking permits that designate the lot to which they are assigned. Students may only park in their assigned lots. Parking permits must be displayed on your vehicle at all time while it is parked on campus. Failure to properly display your permit may result in your vehicle being ticketed.
Transferring Permits
Students are not permitted to transfer their permit to another student. If a student no longer requires their permit they must notify Campus Police by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com notifying them that they no longer require a permit.
Temporary Medical Permits
Temporary medical permits may be obtained from Campus Police. An individual wishing to obtain a temporary medical permit must submit written documentation from a medical doctor, explaining the need for a medical permit and the duration that it is required. Campus Police staff, in consultation with the Director of Health Services, will review applications for medical permits, and a determination will be made as to their issuance. Temporary medical permits DO NOT allow individuals to park in handicap-only parking spaces. Students must have a handicap plate or placard issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles in their home states, in order to make use these spots.
Temporary Parking Permits
Students bringing a vehicle to campus for one week or less may obtain temporary parking permits. Permits must be obtained for overnight parking. Students must register the vehicle upon arrival at the campus, or they will be subject to ticketing and towing. Temporary permits may be purchased at Campus Police until 1 am.

Students are normally restricted to two Temporary Permits per semester.
Lost or Stolen Parking Permits
If a permit is lost or stolen, a request must be made for a duplicate permit. Lost or stolen permits must be reported to Campus Police, and a Lost/Stolen Permit Form must be completed before a new permit can be issued. A $5.00 fee will be charged for a duplicate/replacement permit.
New Vehicles
If a student changes vehicles, he/she must obtain a new permit from Campus Police. The cost for the replacement permit is $5.00.
Tickets that are issued by Lasell College police officers, for violations of College rules and regulations, will indicate the date, time, place, and reason for the violation. If the violation occurs on Lasell College property a copy of the ticket will be left on the windshield of the vehicle. If the violation occurs on a city street a copy of the ticket will be left in the student's mailbox. All state, city and College rules and regulations will be strictly enforced by Lasell College Campus Police.
Unpaid Tickets
It is important to pay all outstanding tickets in a timely fashion. If a ticket remains unpaid for a period over 21 days the fines will be doubled.
Any individual wishing to appeal a parking ticket must do so within seven (7) days of issuance. Appeals can be filed by choosing the Appeals tab in the MyParking application on MyLasell. If the ticket was issued because a car was illegally parked for any reason, and/or for any amount of time, the appeal will be denied.

Here's how it works: Floss between your front teeth (where there is no dental work) and feel the ease of movement. If you can't reproduce this ease of movement, where there is dental work, you have a problem and a place when future dental disease (tooth decay and gum disease) can occur.
Reduced use of floss will require a more intensive focused use of the brush and other aids, e.g. a rubber tip stimulator or toothpick in a special holder. The objective to get every area around the tooth and under the gum. The areas you cannot get to are the one's where problems usually will develop. If you find problems going between dental work, find a dentist that can restore the proper contact (this takes a dentist with good skills). Retest the contact with your fine floss after the new work. I'll talk more about dental restorations at another time.

Anyone tried Tipping Point? I have been interested for a while and even went so far as to arrange a quote. and I say again EXPENSIVE, but it's hard to place a price on security, know what I mean? One bad attack could be worth the money. But at the same time we, as trusted souls, don't want to just throw money away. After all, I have a theory, could that money I save come back to me as a bonus some day?? I would like to think YES!
First off, I have an IDS so I have to have something to goes BEYOND that. There is also Microsoft ISA server out there. Great stuff too. This Tipping Point thing does indeed look promising. After all, it does have SANS support. In fact according to all sources I have contacted, their team works hard at identifying threats and the box can be set to update new signatures every night. There are a lot of security appliances out there, and before anyone says it, I have googled my research. In fact I have a date in the near future to attend a real world installation of one of these boxes. It definitely pays to network around the local IT community.
So I ask, anyone got the real diddy on this thing? Is it worth trashing my significant investment in an already functioning ID System? Even though it definitely lags a bit in signature updates.

The third kind of opalescent glass is hand blown and was normally made from two layers of glass. The outer layer contained heat reactive components such as bone ash. The two-layered piece was blown into a mould with the raised pattern impressed into the metal. After removing the mold, the piece had a raised pattern comprised largely of heat sensitive glass, which turned milky white when reheated. This left the white pattern like a silhouette against the usually clear background.

Inguinal Hernia: Surgery in ChildrenSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
An inguinal hernia will not go away without surgery. Most hernias in children are indirect (the abdominal tissue has bulged down the inguinal canal). These hernias need to be repaired, because they are likely to become incarcerated.
Prompt surgery is needed for younger children especially, because they may not complain about pain until there is a risk of the intestine becoming tightly trapped and its blood supply being cut off (strangulation).
- Hernias that are incarcerated, even if they can be pushed back into the abdomen, need to be repaired as soon as possible because of the risk of strangulation.
- Surgery may be delayed on premature babies with hernias that are not incarcerated. Premature babies are at risk for complications before and after surgery, because their hearts and respiratory systems are not fully developed.
- Boys who have a hydrocele and an inguinal hernia usually have both problems repaired during the same surgery.
Surgery to repair an inguinal hernia needs to be postponed in infants who have any of the following conditions:
- Any active infection
- A cold or other upper respiratory tract infection
- Presence of a significant rash in the groin area
- Severe heart disease present at birth

Peru: Andean Explorer
I've already written about my time in Peru - in the rainforest and in and around Cusco. From Cusco we travelled to the city of Puno - by amazing train journey on the Andean Explorer. This trip is more expensive than flying I think but it was a fun experience in itself!
The trains themselves are first-class, 1920s style affairs with armchairs for seats and silver service.
The train was in a time warp, with organised events (live music, pisco sour distribution (at 10am!), and even a fashion show of wildly expensive knitwear), and silver service performed by synchronised teams of waiters who leaned to either side of the aisle in time with one another. The food was nice but the dancing servers reduced me to giggles every time they arrived.
The views were spectacular, as we left Cusco and travelled through the Andes and across the Altiplato - a large (HUGE, this was a 10 hour train journey) plateau between the two sides of the Andes - and along to Lake Titcaca. The whole trip is at altitude - like a normal landscape, but 3000 to 4000 metres above sea level!
The train lines in Peru are kind of exciting in that they often run along streets and are completely unenclosed. There are animals, people, vehicles and who knows what else all along the tracks, its madness! In Juliaca (a place just outside Puno), there were lots of little stalls with bits of car parts and so on, seriously a different world. There are more photos in my flickr set for this part of the trip.

Police shoot unarmed carjacking suspect
Chicago police said officers shot to death a man suspected of a carjacking.
Authorities said the man, who remains unidentified, was shot Monday because he was holding a dark object, believed to be a gun, that he raised toward two officers. However, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police said the object turned out not to be a weapon.
According to Pat Camden, after the man was spotted driving an auto with out-of-state license plates an alert was issued describing the car and an armed carjacking.
The driver was ordered out the car when it was stopped at a traffic signal. Camden said the man reached for object before opening the door and fleeing.
Cook County medical examiner's office said the wounded man later died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Are you using user-generated content in real-time?
Do you want to display all of your social media updates in one place?
Streaming social updates to a social hub encourages your audience to share more, in real-time.
In this article you'll discover three tools that pull your social conversations to a single hub.
Why Use a Social Media Hub?
Using social channels independently simply won't do the job anymore.
Social media—including your website or blog—rely on interaction, so why isolate each conversation? Bringing them together in a single place (a hub) has a bigger impact and motivates your audience to converse across platforms—carrying your message to an even wider audience.
Social hubs bring a whole new dimension to your social media marketing. You can use them for everything from displaying cross-platform updates on a big screen at a live event to embedding multiple social media timelines in your website.
Below I tell you about three tools you can use to create a social media hub for your business.

Changing Faces: National Science Foundation Grant Will Help Michigan Tech ADVANCE
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Everyone has heard the statistics--although women make up more than half the population, nationwide men outnumber women more than 5 to 1 at the rank of full professor and more than 3 to 1 among tenure-track faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). At Michigan Tech, the ratio of men to women among tenure-track faculty in STEM is 5 to 1.
Now the National Science Foundation has given Michigan Tech nearly half a million dollars to do something about that. The University received a $499,496 three-year grant from NSF's ADVANCE Program to improve its hiring processes and to provide mentorship for faculty--both men and women--in the STEM fields, as well as for the other 20 percent of Michigan Tech faculty.
The goal is to attract a larger diverse pool of highly qualified applicants for tenured and tenure-track faculty positions and to assist all faculty members in achieving successful careers, which will benefit the University as a whole.
"We are trying to open the doors wider, to draw more applicants, and more diverse, well-qualified applicants," said Lesley Lovett-Doust, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Michigan Tech. She is the principal investigator on the NSF grant.
Since Michigan Tech is a STEM-intensive public research university, the gender imbalance is particularly evident here. Of the University's 249 tenured and tenure-track faculty in the STEM fields, only 44 are women, approximately 17.7 percent. And it has hovered around 17 percent for nearly a decade, despite efforts to improve.
Donna Michalek, Margaret Gale, William Predebon, Christine Anderson and Susan Bagley are co-investigators on the NSF ADVANCE grant. Michalek is assistant provost and an associate professor of mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics at Michigan Tech; Gale is dean of the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science; Anderson is special assistant to the president for institutional diversity; Predebon is chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics; and Bagley is a professor of biological sciences.
Their plan calls for one of the hardest kinds of changes to make--changing ideas into action--but Michigan Tech is ready to take on the challenge. "A comprehensive 'climate survey,' conducted a couple of years ago by Anderson and a committee of faculty and staff, showed that the University community believes that more diversity and a welcoming environment for all faculty will make Michigan Tech a better place," Michalek explained.
"Now it is time to adopt practices that turn this good intention into reality. This is not just about hiring women. This is about attracting and keeping the very best people, to add to the high-quality faculty we already have," she continued. "Some areas stood out in the climate survey in the degree to which faculty felt welcome and appreciated; we need to identify and spread the practices that help both women and men be comfortable, successful and productive in their careers."
A second climate survey will be conducted soon, to further explore our progress in terms of faculty retention and professional development at the mid- and senior-career levels, Michalek said.
Studies suggest that the underrepresentation of women in the STEM fields (relative to the number earning relevant PhDs) is partly because traditional search and screening processes are based on intuitive judgments. "People tend to feel more comfortable with, and pick people like themselves; that's human nature," commented Lovett-Doust. "But 'world-class' doesn't necessarily mean 'just like me.'
"The evaluative criteria that were developed for last year's Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI) were very helpful in identifying excellence," the provost went on to say. "All of our searches can be more successful if we replace impressionistic assessments with assessment based on measurable attributes and discipline-specific qualitative scales, as well as general discussion of candidates."
Lest that sound too mechanistic, Lovett-Doust emphasized that future hiring will not be guided just by the scores that scales and measures generate. "Comments are important, and of course we will still put a lot of value on personal interviews, reviewers' comments and applicants' presentations of their research and teaching goals," she said.
Part of the NSF ADVANCE grant will be used to examine diversity in Tech's SFHI hires, to see if advertising strategy, online assessment, interdisciplinary peer review and research presentations produced more women applicants for these coveted positions. The results will be compared with the outcomes of traditional "replacement" hiring processes, and with improved processes for replacement hiring in the future.
The ADVANCE team will work with colleagues across campus on several fronts simultaneously. One committee will continuously evaluate processes and outcomes of the SFHI, the series of University-wide interdisciplinary cluster hires that began last year with a theme of "sustainability." That committee will be headed by Bagley and Michalek.
An online database screening tool, developed under the leadership of Chief Information Officer Walter Milligan last year, will be adapted by a committee led by Milligan and Bagley. A committee led by Gale and Anderson will work on a set of best practices in recruitment strategies that could serve as a model for other STEM-intensive institutions. Another team, also headed by Anderson and Gale, will work to ensure accountability in the hiring process.
A committee chaired by Michalek and Predebon will develop a University-wide faculty mentoring program. Predebon reports that many recent faculty candidates are asking about the availability of a mentorship program when they interview. Predebon and Lovett-Doust will lead the development of campus-wide training programs.
A doctoral student, supported by the grant and co-advised by Michalek and Heidi Bostic, chair of the Humanities Department, will lead an analysis of the results of the ADVANCE initiatives.
"We want to make sure that from the very beginning of the hiring process, we are attracting all kinds of strong candidates, and engaging the attention of non-traditional applicants," said Lovett-Doust. "That's the only way to make every hire a strategic hire, and that is our goal."

Nobody Walks Trailer: The Temptation of John Krasinski
Co-written by Lena Dunham.
Girls creator Lena Dunham has made her name chronicling the sex-fueled foibles of a certain New York subset, but in Nobody Walks, she turns her eye to the other coast, co-writing an L.A.-set tale with director Ry Russo-Young. John Krasinski stars as a family man who accepts an offer to help fledgling artist Olivia Thirlby with the sound design for her new project, but as the two grow closer, Krasinski's wife Rosemarie DeWitt gets justifiably paranoid. Then again, DeWitt's kinda-sorta fending off the advances of her therapy patient Justin Kirk, and meanwhile, DeWitt's teenage daughter is lusting for Krasinski's male assistant, who's also got eyes for Thirlby ... it's complicated, is what we're trying to say.

Tony Randall was a gentleman of the old school
By JERRY TALLMER
Tony Randall, left, in 2002 performing with Al Pacino in The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui in the first production Randalls National Actors Theatre staged at its home at Pace University.
There are 178 entries for Tony Randall, if Ive added it all up correctly, in the Internet Movie Data Base motion pictures and television series starting in 1949, Notable TV Guest Appearances starting in 1947 and I expect when all the numbers are in, his appearances on the living stage, all across America, will more than double that.
But what comes into my head when I close my eyes, now, is two things:
One is Johnny Carson, circa 1962, night after night breaking up as hed get Tony Randall to sit down beside him and sing Blue Moon or The Lady in Red or Red Sails in the Sunset or Boo Hoo or Row Row Row or Mean to Me or some other great old corny forgotten song forgotten by all but Tony Randall, who could replicate each and every one of those chestnuts, and hundreds of others, note for note, word for word.
And the other is 40 years later, meaning just two years ago Tony at ageless 82 going one-on-one, in high relish, with Al Pacino, in the scene in Brechts The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui in which a proud, exacting, high-flown classic actor is brought in to give elocution and posture lessons to the guttersnipe gangster in a brown shirt who might one day seize the whole world by the throat.
These two aspects are in no way the two poles, or some such, of the man who has just been taken from us; he had, like everybody else, a thousand poles. But there was, in Tony, always a glint in the eye, a bit of roguery the Boo Hoo balladeer side by side with a deep old-fashioned straight-backed correctness. A spine.
He was, in short, a gentleman of the old school, and gentlemen didnt talk out of school. In all the years he was married to his first wife an invalid for many of those 50 years he never in my presence, in or out of an interview, said two words more than: Yes, Im married and would then go back to the subject at hand, which in Tonys case was of course, first and last, the theater.
Speaking of which, a third picture suddenly comes to mind. It is the Belasco Theater, 1991, and the almost unbearably moving yet boffo moment in which Tony Randall and Jack Klugman he, minus most of his vocal chords come together once again to reconstruct their greatest hit, televisions The Odd Couple, this time live, on stage, for benefit of Tonys hard-fought National Actors Theatre. And, as it may be, also for benefit of old friend Klugman.
Hard fought and under appreciated. I speak of Tonys beloved National Actors Theater. It has done some perfectly respectable work over this past decade, some not so good, some pretty good, some (Inherent the Wind) better than that, some (Room Service) out of phase entirely, but I dont think in all those years Tonys NAT ever got a break just some little wee shot in the arm from The New York Times or the supercilious drama press in general.
How could an odd chap like Felix Unger give birth to and run a serious theater? Couldnt happen. No way. Jump on it and push it under the carpet.
An odd chap. Pillar of the Neighborhood Playhouse, familiar of the Players Club. And when Florence Gibbs Randall was taken away after those 50 years, persnickety fussbudget Felix Unger, whose masculinity was always a remote question mark at the back of many even rabid fans minds, upped and married a good-looking girl, Heather Harlan, 50 years his junior and just like that had one child (a daughter named for Laurette Taylor) and then another child (a son named for Joseph Jefferson, whose picture is in the Players Club) by her, in short order.
When Tonys longtime publicist and close friend John Springer died, Tony Randall at the services, as my wife reminds me, said something like: The only unkind thing he ever did in his life was to die on us.
A few weeks ago at a benefit at the Plaza for the National Actors Theatre, Tony Randall was unable to attend; he was in a hospital bed, recovering from a triple bypass and pneumonia. Though we did not see him, we heard him on the telephone. Ill soon be back in circulation, he told the gilded diners. And then I think we should all have lunch.
On Monday evening, May 17, 2004, Tony Randall died in his sleep at NYU Medical Center. He was 84. Boo hoo, you hear me crying for you. Laughing with you you and Klugman. Its time for lunch, Tony. Dont be late.
Time and place of services for Tony Randall will be announced soon. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the National Actors Theatre, 1 Pace Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10038.

Early in June, Ars reported the discovery of Android/Simplocker, which appeared to be the first cryptographic ransomware Trojan targeted at Android devices. Simplocker encrypts photos, documents, and videos in devices' local storage and then instructs the device owner to send money if they ever want to see that content again.
One researcher—Simon Bell, an undergraduate student at the University of Sussex—managed to dissect the code for Simplocker. He found that while the code actually called back to a command and control server over the Tor anonymizing network to pass information about the infected device, all of the encryption work was done by the malware itself.
Today, Bell released an antidote to Simplocker—a Java program that can decrypt the files attacked by the malware. "The antidote was incredibly easy to create because the ransomware came with both the decryption method and the decryption password," Bell wrote. "Therefore producing an antidote was more of a copy-and-paste job than anything."
The malware, which has not yet been discovered within any apps in the Google Store or other app store sites, appeared to be a roughly hewn proof of concept—its code was easily teased out because the developer didn't use any code obfuscation. But as Bell noted, if Simplocker gets turned into a full-fledged attack tool, it's likely that the improved version will be much more difficult to reverse-engineer—and will probably not use a hard-coded encryption key.

NEW ORLEANS -- Jim Caldwell has received plenty of attention for taking over a Baltimore Ravens offense that's gone from scattershot to high-octane on the path to Super Bowl XLVII.
Caldwell, oozing humility, told me during Tuesday's Media Day festivities that the transformation has been more about minor fixes and less about some wild reimagination of the scheme.
"We were very inconsistent in a lot of different areas," Caldwell said of the offense he inherited from Cam Cameron in December. "The big thing was to try to get some consistency. We were getting penalized a little bit too much ... and we weren't consistent enough in our running game, so we gave it a little bit of an opportunity to be successful. Ran the ball a little more -- put an emphasis on it -- and moved from there."
Caldwell won't boast, but Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome praised his coordinator's ability to take control of the situation and present clear solutions to problems.
"There's no better person than Jim Caldwell -- how he handles things," Newsome said. "That first time I heard him read a report -- an evaluation of the quarterback -- I knew exactly what he was saying. He did it so clear, so you could understand how he could relate to people."
Running back Ray Rice gushed Tuesday over Caldwell's ability to communicate with his players.
"One thing about him, he kept it simple," Rice said. "But he has that way of saying something, and he gets it across to everybody."
Said Caldwell: "I have to be myself. I've been in this business a long time. It's my 37th year and it's too late for me to change who I am."
There's a natural desire to unpack and decode what changed in Baltimore's offense. What levers were pulled -- it has to be complex, right? The people closest to this operation seem to say otherwise, instead preaching clarity and execution.
"It's not the first time I've called plays," Caldwell reminded a handful of reporters.
That probably doesn't hurt, either.

WVNCC | West Virginia Northern Community College
Criminal Justice 2+2
Associate in Applied Science
Transfer to West Liberty University
Note: The "2+2" term is used to refer to a transfer agreement through which a student completes an Associate degree at WVNCC and may finishe a Bachelor's degree at another institution. Because of individual student factors, part-time or full-time status, need for transitional education coursework, scheduling and availability of courses, or other factors, all students may not be able to complete this degree in two (Associate's) or four (Bachelor's) years. The term "2+2" does not imply a guarantee that a student will be able to complete all requirements in four years.
The Criminal Justice program is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in the legal professions such as law enforcement, corrections and private investigation. Students will learn how these professions integrate into a system of criminal justice.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Read substantive and procedural case law with an understanding of how they impact law enforcement, juvenile justice and the correctional systems.
- Develop computer skills in the areas of Internet investigation, research and electronic messaging.
- Have familiarity with the inner workings of agencies on the local, state and federal levels that compromise our nation's criminal justice systems.
- Have an understanding of basic law enforcement investigative techniques, crime scene preservation and analysis.
- Have an understanding of the principles of homeland security, international threats, and terrorism.
- Have an understanding of the expanded security needs and principles of security in the 21st century.
- Understand the rights of the accused from arrest to post conviction appeals and how law enforcement, court and correctional personnel function to balance individual rights and the need to protect society, convict the guilty and humanely punish as well as rehabilitate the offender.
Currently many graduates of the Criminal Justice program are employed in the West Virginia State Police and Ohio State Highway Patrol agencies as well as in various law enforcement agencies in the Upper Ohio Valley. Many graduates are working in the correctional field as correctional officers, adult and juvenile case workers and as treatment specialists both in the public and private domain.
Future employement opportunities, according to experts in the field of criminal justice, will continue to grow at the federal, state and local levels. New positions include computer analysts specializing in Internet crimes, forensic technicians and criminal profilers.
Students completing this program will receive an A.A.S. degree from West Virginia Northern. The program is also designed for students preparing for transfer to West Liberty University to complete a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.
Note: Although a cumulative GPA of 2.0 meets requirements for graduation at WVNCC, students who do not meet the GPA (or other special) requirements at the transfer institution for admission to this baccalaureate program may not be admitted to the program until they are able to meet those requirements. Students should consult with an advisor at the transfer institution early in their program to check on this, and other requirements for admission to the baccalaureate program.

The Moment is Now
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
That "inescapable network of mutuality" described by Martin Luther King, Jr. begins in our communities. Where we live shapes our lives, our interactions with others, our work life, our health, and our education. Each of us has a role to play in creating communities that are welcoming, safe, and open to all.
Today, this goal is more important than ever because the nation is becoming increasingly diverse. Currently, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans make up more than 30 percent of our population. In a few decades, those groups are projected to represent a majority of U.S. residents. These groups represent our future workers, the people whose skills and talents must be harnessed to ensure the nation's economic viability.
Forty years ago, Congress passed Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the "Fair Housing Act"), which prohibits discrimination in public and private housing markets that is based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or familial status. The Act requires communities and the federal government to proactively further fair housing residential integration, and equal opportunity goals; however, equal opportunity in housing remains a major challenge, with collateral impact far beyond four walls and a roof.

How many actors would consider jumping out from a helicopter 49 feet to the roof of a 27-story building a perk of the job? Well, I can name three.
"Strike Back" stars Philip Winchester, Sullivan Stapleton and Liam Garrigan did just that for the scene above from the Season 2 finale airing Friday on Cinemax. (See the photo here.)
"It's absolutely a perk of the job, yeah. And the fact that we get to do it is just bonkers," Winchester told me during a phone conversation Wednesday, adding that if the show was filmed in the U.S. or Britain, the actors wouldn't be allowed to do such dangerous stunts. "That's probably one of the big reasons why we shoot in South African and Budapest, Eastern Europe; we get away with an awful lot."
The fourth Section 20 operative in the scene--the one who counts down "3, 2, 1" before breaking in the door--is Paul Hornsby, one of the show's military advisers. Hornsby helped set up the stunt which had the four men fast-roping onto the rooftop in Johannesburg on what Winchester called "one of the coldest, windiest days while we were there."
"It was probably about 40 feet wide at the widest," said Winchester, who plays Sgt. Michael Stonebridge. "I mean, it was not a wide building. It looked like kind of we were hovering over a domino when we were up there."
Still, the cast members--who do about 95 percent of their own stunt work--weren't daunted by the task. Hornsby and the stunt crew work with them to choreograph stunts. There are risks, Winchester said, but the team tries to assure the risks are minimal.
Although the actor does admit to being a little fearful in such situations, most of the time they just enjoy what I dubbed their "woo-hoo!" moments.
"Yeah, there is certainly a "woo-hoo!" factor to it," he agreed. "I think it's funny because being in character when you do that stuff kind of covers a multitude of sins as well. So I feel like the Stonebridge in me is like, 'This is what I do. This is my job; it's no big deal. This is how we insert in a building. We stack up like this.'
"And then there's a little bit of the Philip in me going, 'Holy shit! What the hell am I doing?' So I try to keep in the Stonebridge mode as much as I can.
"Obviously when it happens, when it all works and we stack up and break in the door and we get off-camera, we stand there and we just jump up and down like a bunch of teenagers going, 'Oh, my God. That was fucking amazing!'"
Watch the Season 2 finale at 9 p.m. CT Oct. 12 or throughout the weekend on Cinemax. Come back for more interviews with Winchester, Michelle Lukes and Shane Taylor. Also, I will have an after-episode "debrief" with Winchester and Taylor.

This may have been the second week of the 2012 season, but it was all about firsts.
From Montreal to Vancouver and Los Angeles to Philadelphia, multiple players, several teams, and thousands of fans – 58,912 in Montreal alone – broke new ground in a sizzling round of matches.
While the latest expansion team made history in their first home game, their brethren in Western Canada achieved a franchise milestone, and their Toronto rivals raised the bar for the game in the Great White North.
Elsewhere, there were impressive debuts, the season's first hat-trick and multiple account-opening goals.
Also: for the second week in a row, no scoreless draws.
Cue the recap in 3, 2, 1…
Moment of Impact
On Saturday afternoon in Montreal's Olympic Stadium, the Impact came about two inches from topping last spring's storybook home openers in Vancouver and Portland, which is saying something.
Five minutes into time added on, with the score tied 1-1 and the record crowd of nearly 59,000 fans clamoring for a late winner, Montreal's left fullback Josh Gardner crushed a shot from about 45-yards out on the left flank.
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi, like the capacity crowd looking on, barely had time to react before the ball rocketed past him … and slammed off the far post.
READ: Post separates Impact's Gardner from fairytale moment
With that, Montreal fans were denied an outlandish late winner, but they still got an exciting first chapter for Major League Soccer in their city. Captain Davy Arnaud scored the first MLS goal in Impact history, a glancing header off a perfect cross from Sanna Nyassi in the 56th minute.
READ: Arnaud lives out dream moment on Montreal's big day
Chicago's Dominic Oduro equalized 15 minutes later, and despite the efforts of Gardner and Nyassi, who was denied from close range by Tornaghi in the 85th minute, that's the way it ended.
While Montreal just missed getting their first win, they did earn their first point as an MLS franchise – and sent their fans home happy.
Oh, Canada!
It was a big week for MLS's other Canadian sides as well. On Saturday night, Vancouver secured their first-ever MLS road victory, edging Chivas USA 1-0 at The Home Depot Center behind United States international Jay DeMerit's inaugural MLS goal.
Toronto FC also achieved a historic breakthrough, becoming the first Canadian team ever to reach the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) semifinals after they shocked the heavily-favoured LA Galaxy 2-1 in their second-leg quarterfinal on Wednesday.
The Reds came thudding back to earth three days later in MLS play, though, dropping a 3-1 decision at Seattle and losing Designated Player Torsten Frings to a hamstring injury.
Like LA, Sounders FC had been unceremoniously bounced from the CCL on Wednesday – though "unceremoniously" is putting it mildly: Seattle were routed 6-1 at Mexico's Santos Laguna to go out on a 7-3 aggregate defeat.
They returned to league play hungry for redemption – and they got some, as striker David Estrada exploded for the first hat-trick of the year (and first goals of his MLS career) to pace the home side's win.
Opposite Directions
The Galaxy also recovered from their CCL loss in style, cruising past D.C. United 3-1 in MLS action. The box score was studded with firsts: Robbie Keane's first two-goal game in MLS, Marcelo Sarvas' first goal in the league, and United rookie Nick DeLeon's account-opener as a pro.
Fittingly enough, this Sunday-night game, which capped a week of firsts, ended with another one: the Galaxy's first victory of 2012.
LA's big-market counterparts in New York did not bounce back as well from their most recent loss. The Red Bulls dropped their second straight, falling 2-0 at Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.
RSL got goals from Fabian Espíndola and Luis Gil to go 2W-0L-0D on the season and push their unbeaten streak against New York to five games.
Spencer on the Mic
WATCH: Spencer makes the call
New York's Week One opponents, FC Dallas, scrapped out a 1-1 draw with visiting Portland Timbers on Saturday night.
After Hoops striker Blas Pérez opened his MLS account 32 minutes into the match, Portland's Darlington Nagbe bagged his first of 2012 to tie it up just after halftime.
The game featured the MLS debut of 20-year-old Dallas winger Bryan Leyva, the club's first Homegrown Player, who helped create Pérez's goal with a hard shot on net. It also featured the announcing debut of Timbers coach John Spencer, who made the goal call on Nagbe's strike while doing an in-game interview with TV announcer John Strong.
Portland's Western Conference foes San Jose Earthquakes hosted Houston Dynamo on Saturday afternoon, and the visitors got the first goal of the year from Brad Davis (on a penalty kick) to nab their second away win of the season – matching the team's 2011 total for road victories.
Double Booked
New England Revolution started on the path to matching a stat from last season, too, but it was not one they want to equal: The Revs earned their (and the league's) first red card of the season on Saturday, as centre back Stephen McCarthy was sent off in the 14th minute for a last-man foul on Sporting Kansas City striker C.J. Sapong.
The Revolution – who would give up goals to Graham Zusi, Kei Kamara, and Sapong en route to a 3-0 loss – racked up a league-leading 10 red cards last season, one short of the MLS record.
The weekend's other red came out on Sunday at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. Just two minutes after midfielder Jaime Castrillón scored his first MLS goal to put Colorado up 1-0, the Rapids' Jeff Larentowicz saw a second yellow and was sent off.
Instead of struggling, though, the 2010 MLS Cup champions got forward and scored a second goal within five minutes, this one from rookie attacker Tony Cascio (his first MLS tally).
Philadelphia's Lionard Pajoy opened his MLS account in the 67th minute to make it 2-1, but the Union could not find an equalizer, despite knocking on the door several times before the final whistle.

About Eduardo Sarabia
In work that blurs fact and fiction, Eduardo Sarabia explores the fraught U.S.-Mexican border zone, Mexican cultural stereotypes, and his own identity as a Mexican-American. Born in L.A. to Mexican immigrants, he relocated to his parents' native country, and has been based in Guadalajara since 2003. He infuses his sculpture, painting, installations, actions, and participatory events with references to the traditional Mexican folklore that influences him, as well as to such headline-grabbing issues as drug violence, contraband, and other illegal activities plaguing the border region. Dark humor and a sense of absurdity characterize his work, which has been included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial and the 51st Venice Biennale. Among Sarabia's best-known projects is his series of ceramic vessels made to mimic those popular with tourists in Mexico, but decorated with hand-painted pin-up girls, guns, and drug-trade iconography.
American, b. 1976, based in Mexico
