The Mitsubishi Montero Sport was introduced in the 1997 model year and structurally modified beginning with 2001 models to improve occupant protection in frontal offset crashes.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia and right foot indicate that injuries to the lower leg and foot would be possible. Head accelerations from the roof rail, B-pillar, and grab handle hits were negligible.
Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The driver's seat tipped toward the B-pillar and during rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail, B-pillar, and grab handle for the left rear door.

TW6: Interministerial Coordination for the Sound Management of Chemicals
The thematic workshop on Strengthening Interministerial Coordination for the Sound Management of Chemicals was the sixth in a Series of Thematic Workshops on Priority Topics of National Chemicals Management Capacity Building. It took place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 29-30 August 2002. The event brought together some 21 representatives from more than 15 developing countries, countries with economies in transition, countries with advanced chemicals management capabilities, and international organisations.
The main objective of the workshop was to develop and test ideas for innovative approaches to interministerial coordination for the sound management of chemicals, consistent with national circumstances and priorities. Experiences to-date, existing guidance and other resources were discussed. Gaps and weaknesses were identified and solutions suggested.
The workshop resulted in a set of recommendations regarding mechanisms for interministerial coordination, and identified tools that could be used for interministerial coordination, covering a range of areas such as communications, special situations, documents, meetings, and legislation. A variety of general issues to consider in strengthening interministerial coordination were also discussed, such as developing new policies and coordinating inputs to international activities. Finally, the workshop provided a set of suggestions regarding organisational matters for planning and implementing an interministerial coordination mechanism.

Mississippi woman urges lawmakers: 'Please don't legislate against my family'
February 28, 2014
Editors' Note:This post is a guest column by Kristen Welch, from Mississippi. She has worked with the Campaign for Southern Equality to increase support for marriage in her state, and now, she's speaking out against MS Senate Bill 2681, the bill currently being debated by the Mississippi legislature that would grant Mississippians a "License to Discriminate" against people just because they are LGBT.
I think at times, it's easy for legislators to assume no one is paying attention to the bills that they pass so quickly, without much fanfare - and that's undoubtedly what occurred when the so-called "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," (SB 2681) passed the Mississippi state Senate on January 31, 2014 with a unanimous 48-0 vote. Parliamentary procedure seems like a different language altogether and impenetrable legalese can make even the most educated pause. Sometimes, it feels like our elected officials think they are legislating to a void.
This week, the Mississippi legislature is certainly not legislating into a void: Across the state, Mississippians are standing up and urging the legislature to Stop SB 2681 and explaining that this dangerous bill will do nothing but hurt proud folks from our state.
As a Mississippi resident for almost all of my life (I grew up in and around Hattiesburg and currently work in Pensacola, Florida), I have always tried to pay particular attention to our legislature. I have always been interested in politics and have had a soft spot for all things historical (I don't know many other 12-year-olds who asked their mom if they could get married in the State Capitol). As I've gotten older, it has become apparent to me that the state I love does not hold me in such high esteem.
My mother would always tell me that Mississippi is the nation's best-kept secret: All of the state's bad publicity keeps out all riff-raff, she would often say. But her well-intentioned statements never curbed the heartache I would feel when someone would hurl another, "Do you even own shoes??" my way. I didn't feel hurt for myself; I hurt for my state. Mississippi and I have spent hot, sticky summers and less hot, balmy "winters" together. I love its terrain, and sometimes lack thereof. I love the eclectic, melting pot culture of Mississippi - ethnically diverse and sometimes horribly over-simplified. I love everything about Mississippi that has made it more than the place that I fill in on forms as my "state of residence."
When I came out as a lesbian, I never thought my life was over. I did not have a terrible time; my family continued to love and support me and any relationship I chose to embark on.
"Please don't legislate against me. Please don't legislate against my family. I urge you to vote against SB-2681."
But I was not oblivious to the fact that my revelation had repercussions. Like many queer people, I was (and still am) at a place in my life where I know that family is what you choose - and that sometimes, your biological family is lucky enough to be a part of that. My biological family is a very wonderful part of my life, as well as other folks that I also consider family. I have surrounded myself with a support system I wouldn't trade for anything.
I recognize that my coming-out experience is not what most people would consider typical of a lesbian from the Deep South; I also recognize the converse: That there are others who have not been so lucky.
Still - the South of 2014 is not the same place it was fifty years ago. In the past year, I have had the privilege of working with an outstanding organization, the Campaign for Southern Equality, and taking part in several marriage equality actions across the Deep South (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia). During my travels I have met hundreds of people who are warm, welcoming and supportive. Since then, I have seen state after state recognize marriage equality and city after city pass diversity resolutions (Starkville, MS and Hattiesburg, MS, included). There is undeniable forward momentum.
Most scholars of history and social movements recognize a period of regress before important social change. I can only hope that these bills currently sweeping the nation are that final death rattle of social conservatism. I truly cannot fathom how passing legislation like SB 2681 would improve my beloved state in any way. It has so far only served to be divisive and fuel the fire of hate.
I can say from personal experience that the vast majority of the people of Mississippi do not support blatant discrimination. Tolerant of homosexuality or not, the citizenry are first and foremost kind. Turning someone away, legal or not, would be beneath them and against the very essence of their beliefs.
So while these legislators may think they are passing laws that are falling on deaf ears or working in a legislature where no one pays attention, I can assure you that is not the case. As a young person who walked the Capitol many times with my father, I hold those offices in high esteem. I respect their authority and understand the power of a singular vote.
Please don't legislate against me. Please don't legislate against my family.
I urge you to vote against SB-2681.

Hang a gift on the National Zoo's Enrichment Giving Tree
Grateful for the wild things that enrich your world? Choose a wild gift from the Animal Enrichment Wish List to hang on the Smithsonian National Zoo's Enrichment Giving Tree.
Speaking for the animals, zookeepers and researchers have asked for toenail clippers, bubble machines, natural-colored feather dusters and shower radios with CD players.
Lest you worry that next year the lions will want iPads, understand that every item on the Zoo's Wish List keeps the animals engaged and interested in the world around them. Items are chosen to challenge animals, bring out their natural hunting and foraging skills and keep all of their senses engaged. The items also help the zookeepers care for their charges and study their behavior.
Be a Secret Santa in these ways:
• Donate money for the zoo to use in the Animal Enrichment Program.
• Shop at an online store filled with enrichment items and daily necessities, then bring your purchases to the zoo's Asia Trail store.
• If you really want to walk on the wild side, drop off art supplies to the zoo.
Animals from naked mole rats to pandas to lions create images with non-toxic water-based paint on canvass.
Want to see the animals' art?
Visit the zoo this spring for the American Association of Zoo Keepers Art Show, where wild artworks will be on sale.
For now, consider a donation to the zoo this year. Wish list at http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Support/MakeDonation/GivingTree.cfm.

Hooksett voters reject Pinkerton Academy contractBy RYAN O'CONNOR
Union Leader Correspondent
March 11. 2014 10:08PM
HOOKSETT — Hooksett parents came out in force Tuesday to deliver a "no" stamp to the district's 10-year proposed contract with Pinkerton Academy.
In a turnout more than double that of 2013, voters cast their ballots and Article 3 failed by a vote of 1,026 to 792. The decision sends a seven-member school board — with only two incumbents — back to work in terms of an anchor high school for Hooksett students.
"It was a great turnout," incumbent school board member David Pearl said. "I think we're going to regroup, right off the bat, and I personally think we need to reevaluate our contract with Manchester, and then we need to look at our options. But the first thing we need to do is see where we stand with Manchester."
Because a one-year agreement is in place for next year, roughly 110 Hooksett students will still attend Pinkerton Academy in Derry. But the future beyond the 2014-15 school year is unclear.
"Right along I said we were going to bring the contract to the public and let the public decide, and that's what they decided," said outgoing school board chairman Trisha Korkosz, who lost her bid for another three-year seat. "I think the community thinks a 'no' vote will get them a better deal, and we'll see how that pans out for them."
The rejected deal would have sent the majority of Hooksett students to Derry at a cost of $10,800 per head. Years six through 10 of the contract mandated that 90 percent of Hooksett public high school students attend Pinkerton.
Jason Hyde, who ran an unsuccessful school board campaign, said he's been in favor of school choice all along."I'm glad it gives us the opportunity to look at why (the contract failed) and figure out if it was strictly a Pinkerton thing, or whether it was a contract thing or why it might have happened," he said. "Because now there's time to allow the kids who are going there to acclimate, to find out if they really like it. Who knows, maybe in a year or two, we come back to it, but this gives us the opportunity to do things differently than they were done the first time, which will be better for everybody."
"The school board has a lot of work to do," said Korkosz. "I wish them all the best. They don't know what they're getting themselves into."

School Direct (Salaried): Physics
The School Direct Programme (Salaried) is a new route into teaching at both primary and secondary levels. Participating schools, or clusters of schools that join together, are allocated a set number of student-teacher places which can be applied for. Students will earn a salary while they train.
Programme Information
Students will be part of a school team from the start and will receive intensive support from experienced teachers in the classroom. Opportunities will exist to build networks with fellow trainees. This route leads to the award of QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).
There are two compulsory school placements. Students are expected to complete the associated tasks, and to build a portfolio of evidence during the academic year to demonstrate they have met national teaching standards.
Students do not undertake academic credits on this programme. However, all components will need to be assessed to gain QTS.
Core modules
- Professional Practice
The Professional Practice module combines practical experience in schools, where trainees observe and undertake classroom teaching, subject knowledge development through UCL Institute of Education (IOE) sessions as well as pedagogical and professional development in schools and IOE-based sessions. During teaching practice, trainees gain the practical experience they need to meet the Teachers' Standards as required for the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Assessment for this module is undertaken by school-based mentors in collaboration with IOE tutors.
Optional modules
Teaching and Learning
The programme is delivered via a series of lectures and workshop at the UCL Institute of Education for 15 days (10 days' Professional Studies and five days subject-specific training) spread over the autumn and spring terms. The placement schools are responsible for providing an additional 45 days of training activities, alongside the practical teaching experience. Students are assessed on their practical teaching of Physics and their progress in achieving the standards for Qualified Teacher Status by gathering evidence in the form of a portfolio.
As part of the programme students will spend time in placement at a school or college, during which time their teaching practice will be supported by a school subject tutor and mentor. For this programme students will spend the majority of the programme in school, employed as an unqualified teacher.
Key Information
Programme starts
September 2018
Modes and duration
Tuition Fees (2018/19)
- No match (FT) No match (PT)
- Overseas:
- No match (FT) No match (PT)
Application deadlines
Note on fees: The tuition fees shown are for the year indicated above. Fees for subsequent years may increase or otherwise vary. Further information on fee status, fee increases and the fee schedule can be viewed on the UCL Current Students website. Fees for this programme are payable by the employing school.
This route leads to the award of QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).
Entry requirements
A minimum of a lower second-class UK Bachelor's degree or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard in Physics or a Physics-related subject.
No specific subjects required.
English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5.
3 years' work experience in any field (18 months for secondary priority subjects), 2 weeks' classroom experience is recommended
If you are made an offer you will be required to successfully complete Occupational Health and Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure checks. These checks are required to ensure you meet the Department for Education's requirements for physical and mental health to teach, as well as assessing your suitability for access to children and vulnerable adults. These checks will be carried out by the school or college that employs you. More details can be found on the Entry requirements page.
All applicants must successfully complete professional skills tests in literacy and numeracy before they can enrol. More information can be found on the Get Into Teaching website.
English Language Requirements
If your education has not been conducted in the English language, you will be expected to demonstrate evidence of an adequate level of English proficiency.
The English language level for this programme is: Good
Further information can be found on our English language requirements page.
International students
Country-specific information, including details of when UCL representatives are visiting your part of the world, can be obtained from the International Students website.
International applicants can find out the equivalent qualification for their country by selecting from the list below.
Select your country:
For a comprehensive list of the funding opportunities available at UCL, including funding relevant to your nationality, please visit the UCL Scholarships and Funding website.
Graduates of UCL Institute of Education's Physics teacher training programmes are currently working across a broad range of areas. Some are working as classroom and instrumental teachers in school settings, while others have jobs as music educators, workshop leaders and consultants in national music hubs and local authorities. Graduates in this area can also be found working as learning and participation programme and workshop leaders in professional orchestras and arts organisations.
Most of the student teachers trained through this route are employed by the training school or within the cluster after completing programme. The nature of this route to Qualified Teacher Status is for schools to train student teachers who are committed to the values and ethos of the school or academy and wish to develop their teaching career within the school or cluster which invested in their training.
Why study this programme at UCL?
The UCL Institute of Education (IOE) has been providing first-class teaching training, in partnership with schools and colleges for over 100 years and all of their initial teacher training programmes have been rated as outstanding. Founded in 1902, as a teacher training college in London, the IOE is a world-class research and teaching institute. IOE graduates are highly sought after in schools and colleges throughout London and the UK. The central location in historic Bloomsbury means that you are in the heart of London.
There are over 40 schools and colleges in the Greater London area and beyond participating in the School Direct (Salaried) programme.
Each of these offer student-teacher places in at least one national curriculum subject area and many of them have places across a broad range of subjects.
This route leads to the award of QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).
Department: Institute of Education
Application and next steps
Students are advised to apply as early as possible due to competition for places. Those applying for scholarship funding (particularly overseas applicants) should take note of application deadlines.
Who can apply?
The School Direct Training Programme (salaried) is an employment-based route for experienced graduates (preferably those with first or upper second-class degree classification in an area relevant to Physics) and who have at least 18 months' work experience. It is not necessary for this experience to be education related. Availability of provision is subject to school allocation of places for training.
Application deadlines
- All applicants
- 10 August 2018
Please check individual school websites. Programmes may close as soon as places are filled and early application is advised.

HARROGATE, Tenn. -- Games Thursday were stopped by rains passing through the Harrogate area, putting a halt to play between King College and Lincoln Memorial University. The teams did not make it out of the third inning before weather washed out the entire day.
No make up date has been rescheduled, as of yet.
King will begin an eight-game homestand on March 17 against Belmont Abbey at the King College Softball Complex. Lincoln Memorial will end that homestand with a regularly scheduled twinbill on March 22.

Polycythemia is a condition that occurs when the bone marrow produces an abnormal and excessive amount of red blood cells and platelets in the blood. Sometimes, white blood cells are affected. The abnormal increase of blood cells can cause the blood to thicken and clot.
There are several forms of polycythemia—primary polycythemia, secondary polycythemia, and stress polycythemia. Each form has its own set of causes and risk factors. Although there is no specific cure, prompt and proper management will reduce the risk of serious complications.
Nearly all cases of primary polycythemia are believed to be caused by a mutation in the janus kinase 2 gene (JAK2).
Risk Factors
Primary polycythemia is more common in men and people over the age of 40 years of age. It is also more common in people who are Caucasian or those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
The symptoms of primary polycythemia occur gradually and vary from person to person. Some people show no signs of the condition. Symptoms may include:
- Intense itching after a warm or hot bath, shower, or any activity that requires soaking your skin in warm or hot water
- Weight loss
- Intense and frequent bone pain and/or muscle pain
- Weakness and fatigue
- Abnormal and heavy bleeding due to a cut or a nosebleed
- Headaches, lightheadedness, or gastrointestinal symptoms
- Vision problems
- Ringing in the ears
- Difficulty or labored breathing
- The color of the skin appears reddish
- Inability to concentrate
Blood clots increase the risk of serious complications, such as a heart attack or stroke.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a hematologist for evaluation and treatment.
Testing may include:
- Blood tests to:
- Check levels of blood cell types to see if they are higher than normal
- Look genetic mutations that affect the bone marrow, such JAK2
- Check levels of iron-related proteins in the body to see if they are higher than normal
- Evaluate kidney and liver function
- Bone marrow biopsy to evaluate for overproduction of blood cells or other abnormalities
- Abdominal ultrasound to look for an enlarged spleen
The tests are also used to determine the severity of the disease, which helps to guide a treatment plan.
Treatment is based on severity of the disease. The goal of treatment is to control the course of the disease and manage complications caused by blood clots or bleeding. Some treatments may be used in combination. Options may include:
Phlebotomy is a technique that requires a person to periodically have blood removed from a vein to decrease the overall total proportion of red blood cells in the body. The frequency of the treatment is based on how quickly a person's bone marrow produces an excessive amount of red blood cells.
Polycythemia may be treated with:
- Chemotherapy—A group of drugs that are used to reduce blood cell production, improve immune response, and control blood volume.
- JAK inhibitors—Reduces spleen size and improves the balance of other blood cells.
- Low-dose aspirin—Thins blood to reduce the risk of blood clots. Do not take aspirin without talking to your doctor. It increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Medications can also help ease symptoms. These may include:
- Antihistamines or other medications to control itchy skin
- Pain relievers
- Allopurinol to reduce uric acid levels in the blood, which can lead to gout
An enlarged spleen can cause pain, compression, and affect blood pressure in the structures associated with the liver. In people with these complications, or if other treatments are not working, a splenectomy may be done. Living without a spleen is possible, but it increases the risk of infection.

Beyond ozone
Wintertime ozone is just one surprising air-quality problem that has appeared as gas fields balloon in size and creep closer to communities. "It's possible that emissions have been there all along," since the industry isn't new, says Ramón Alvarez, an Environmental Defense Fund air-quality expert. But with drilling under increasing scrutiny, he says, "People are appropriately wondering, 'What does this mean for my health?' "
The answer remains largely unknown. "To determine a health effect, you need a large number of exposures occurring, and for them to occur over a long enough time for people to develop an effect," says Alvarez. "When you're in a rural environment, those things are hard to match up."
Still, researchers are trying to get a handle on health risks. A study by the Colorado School of Public Health found that the risk of cancer and other illnesses in Garfield County, Colo., was greatest for residents within a half-mile of wells, where volatile organic compounds around homes were documented at five times safe levels.
Another important question concerns the industry's carbon footprint. This year, emissions of methane -- a powerful greenhouse gas -- from Colorado's Denver-Julesburg Basin were found to be about twice as high as the industry had reported, raising doubts over whether natural gas truly is a more climate-friendly fuel than coal.

Califone Unveils New Jackbox
Califone Debuts the Industry's First iPad® Jackbox To Support Mobile-Based Learning Activities in Classrooms & Libraries
San Fernando, Calif. (June 25, 2013) – As educators continue to expand mobile-based learning activities in the classroom, the need for distributed audio to select students through connected headphones has grown. To meet this demand, Califone International, Inc. has launched the first jackbox for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod®.
The new six-position jackbox (1206i) enables up to six students to listen to lesson content at the same time without disrupting others. This privacy feature makes the jackbox an extremely flexible tool, able to facilitate differentiated learning, literacy exercises, read-alongs and language learning applications, citing just a few examples of audio-based activities in today's classrooms.
The 1206i Jackbox also allows teachers to maximize the use of existing classroom technology to captivate and motivate students. It distributes headphone audio through standard 3.5 mm plugs, accommodating up to six students at a time. Master volume controls tailor the sound for all connected headphones.
In a 2012 survey conducted by Califone, 76.5 percent of educators reported that four or more students are grouped together in computer-based learning centers during classroom lessons. Grouping by interest, ability, learning style or other common factor enables students to learn at a pace that works best for their individual needs, and to master new content and skills. The 1206i Jackbox helps students achieve mastery through shared learning.
"The 1206i Jackbox is the first of its kind for mobile-based group learning activities," said Tim Ridgway, vice president of marketing for Califone. "Teachers can easily connect their iPad, iPhone or iPod with the Jackbox to engage a group of students in a read-along, literacy or STEM applications. The jackbox helps educators effectively incorporate digital learning activities into the classroom, leading students to comprehend and master difficult content."
The jackbox is compatible with all 30-pin iPad, iPhone and iPod models for sitting in the cradle of the docking station (iPad 1-3 models, iPhone models through the 4S and up to third generation iPod models). All current models (iPad 4, iPhone 5 as well as fourth and fifth generation iPods) can be used with a separate Lightning® connection (not included).
When connected to power through its Y-cord, the 1206i also functions as an iPad/iPhone/iPod docking station. Plans are underway to consider an Android™ version. The jackbox is built with rugged ABS plastic for added durability in the classroom. It's available individually and as a six-position Listening Center with six 3068AV headphones.
The 1206i was introduced at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando (June 12-14) and will be showcased at ISTE 2013 in San Antonio (June 24-26).

How much would you pay for a guaranteed deer license in Iowa in 2011 or 2012? As much as these guys? This link was forwarded to me today by a friend who has hunted trophy bucks in the Hawkeye State many times. Even he was amazed.
According to the listing, the guaranteed license is good for one buck and one doe during the season of the winning bidder's choice (this year or next year). It is also good for any one season (bow, gun) of the winner's choice. The promotion is being held by the Iowa DNR in conjunction with the National Wild Turkey Federation.
I'm sure many will criticize the DNR, NWTF and the winning bidder over this as a super-indulgence for the rich. I can certainly see that point. However, I also can see this as a refreshing reminder that many people still view free-ranging whitetail hunting as something that's almost sacred … something that they will pay a pretty penny to participate in, especially when the hunt is in a state that produces some of the biggest deer in North America.
Interesting side note: This auction appears to be for a license only. There is no mention of any connection with deer hunting outfitters, private land or special accommodations. Translation: Whoever wins is going to have to find a place to hunt.
What are your thoughts? Should state game departments sell lottery licenses in this fashion?

Traffic Signals:
The overall objective of signal control is to provide for safe and efficient traffic flow through intersections, along routes, and in street networks.
A traffic signal can provide one or more of the following benefits.
Whether or not a traffic signal is needed, its installation will probably have the following negative impacts.
If an intersection needs a signal, these disadvantages will be offset by the benefits just listed. If however, a traffic signal is not needed, its installation can have the following unnecessary additional adverse effects.
Traffic control devices such as signs and markings are the primary means of regulating, warning or guiding traffic on all streets and highways. The need for well designed, adequately maintained devices grows in proportion to the density of traffic, speed of operation, and complexity of maneuvering areas on highways and at intersections.
Both signs and markings have the function of regulating, warning, guiding and/or channelizing traffic. To be effective, however, the installation of each device should fulfill a need, command attention, convey a clear simple meaning, command respect of road users and give adequate time for proper response.
The traffic engineer must employ five basic considerations to ensure that these requirements are met:
707 North Calvert Street
Baltimore, Maryland 21202-3601
Main Business Line – 410-545-0300
Safety Campaigns – 1-800-323-6742

With more than 30 years of financial experience in the healthcare industry, Gerald F. O'Neill is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge as a lecturer in Suffolk's Healthcare Programs.
"Healthcare will be undergoing dramatic changes over the next decade, as the nation copes with the cost of healthcare and an aging population. I hope to impart my experience with this transition to students entering the healthcare administration field," said O'Neill, who teaches Healthcare Accounting and Healthcare Financial Management courses.
To keep pace with the ever-evolving healthcare industry, the Healthcare Programs offer rigorous curricula that incorporate both theory and real-world practices. "Suffolk University has an excellent reputation for business and legal education, and I'm proud to be associated with its expanding Healthcare Administration Programs," O'Neill said.
He currently serves as the director of finance for Winchester Hospital in Massachusetts, where he oversees the general accounting, decisions support, and patient financial services departments. He has played a critical role in increasing the hospital's revenue and eliminating debt.
He began his career as a financial analyst at Malden Hospital, while he was earning his MBA from Northeastern University.
In 1986, O'Neill went on to serve as treasurer for the North Suburban Health Systems Inc., which consists of the Malden Hospital, Glenridge Health Care Center, Malden Visiting Nurse Association, Healthcorp, and Sunrise Preschool Learning Center.
From 1997 to 1998, O'Neill served as the senior financial planning specialist for the Hallmark Health Corporation, where he played an integral role in the merger of Lawrence Memorial, Melrose-Wakefield, and Malden Hospital.
O'Neill later served as the senior vice president, chief financial officer, and corporate compliance officer for Holy Family Hospital Inc. In addition to managing the financial operations of the hospital, he also oversaw the information systems, patient registration, medical records, and material management departments.
O'Neill is a member of the board of directors for the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) and Massachusetts Hospital Association Insurance Agency. He is also a fellow of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (FHFMA), past president of the Massachusetts Chapter of the HFMA, former regional executive for Region One HFMA, and former member the Committee on Finance for the Massachusetts Hospital Association.
"Healthcare is a uniquely personal service. It has been very satisfying to have a role in ensuring that adequate resources are provided to clinicians to perform their healing activities," O'Neill said.
He also appreciates the variety of opportunities available in the field. "The healthcare industry will be undergoing significant change in the near future, and it will be an exciting, challenging, and rewarding work environment," he said.

2009 in Review - Canberra Raiders
Canberra Raiders - 13th place
Reasons: On the road again: The Canberra side had yet another shocking season when playing away from home, winning just twice during the season (against the Sharks and the Rabbitohs). In those ten losses away from home they suffered embarrasing losses against the Sharks, the Roosters, the Eels (early in the season of course) and the Warriors. Inconsistency: It cost them becoming a challenging side. In a small period of time they could beat nearly every team in the competition. A week later they would be losing to the cellar dwellars. The Young Guns: If a positive is to come out of the Raiders it's the form of their young guns, such as Justin Carney, Jarrod Croker, Josh Dugan and Daniel Vidot. Even better, the Raiders have managed to retain them all for the next few seasons.
Gains: No Gains Losses: Phil Graham (Centre) Sydney Roosters Nigel Plum (Lock) Penrith Panthers Adrian Purtell (Utility Back) Penrith Panthers Glen Turner (Second Row) Retirement
Best Win of the Year: Despite a stunning win over Minor Premiers St George Illawarra near the end of the season, a 56-0 whitewash of the Brisbane Broncos a fortnight earlier signalled a scoreline that hasn't been seen by Raiders fans since the early ninties. Other than being one of the biggest wins in the Raiders history, it was the Broncos worst. Worst Loss of the Year: Early in the season the Raiders were nothing more than a punching bag for an angry Roosters side, losing 28-4. A late Bronson Harrison try however did save the Raiders from being completely whitewashed, but it was just another one of those matches that left the faithful Green Machine supporters wondering.
Statistics The Raiders might be looking out for a new goalkicker, regular Terry Campese shot at just 68% in 2009. The 56-0 thumping of Brisbane was the first time the Raiders kept an opponent scoreless since 2001. The club used 29 players this year, the equal smallest amount since 2003. It was a year of 13's for Canberra. They finished 13th (the 13th different position the club has finished regarding table positions), plus they became the 13th club to score 15,000 points. Terry Campese was the leading Raider in the Dally M tally with 13 points.
2009 Headline "The Green Machine Rise Again" It's not often the Raiders hit the headline for an on-field performance, but the win over Brisbane surely did so.
Odds to win in 2010 $36.00 (Odds courtesy of Betfair)
Where will they finish next year? The young guns have shown they can take Canberra to the top. Whether it will happen in 2010 or not is to be seen, but Raiders fans sure have reason to be excited.

Issue Information
I think it would be helpful if there was a publicly-visible proto bar on member profiles. Since proto energy tells whether the user is a helpful or unhelpful part of the site, I think it would benefit people to know this information about a user in case they want to approach them for help on something.
Couldn't you just find one of their posts?
Well, I guess. Part of the thing that made me post this was looking at how inaccurate the star rating system can be. Maybe if that was replaced with a proto bar? Sure, that would probably take some modification to the PHP, but it would fit better I think.
Couldn't you just find one of their posts?
That sounds like a good idea. I don't pay too much attention to proto bars at times, but it would be time-consuming to try to find a post by them to see the proto bar. Maybe we could keep the stars, and add in a proto bar. The stars would be a way for common people to vote on how helpful the member is, and the proto bar is for admins to use to say how helpful the member is.
This should actually be fairly easy to implement. It shouldn't be more than one line of code, or only little more.
I tried adding the spinnies and OBZPC/staff masks, but there wasn't enough room. Just the Proto bar under the user photo will have to do.

Information on the 2007 conference
November 16, 2007
Cherry Hall Room 125
More details forthcoming
Length: Five pages (there will be a maximum ten minute reading time)
Subject: Any original analytical work on a literary text or texts (this includes fiction, poetry, drama, film, popular culture, creative non-fiction, etc.). The paper can include research, close reading, and/or creative interpretation.
Format: Please attach a cover page with name and contact information (including e-mail). Name and other identifying information should be removed from the paper itself.
DEADLINE: October 22, 2007. Please submit papers to the main English Department office (Cherry Hall 135) or to Dr. Ted Hovet.
The Undergraduate Conference on Literature, Language, and Culture is an annual event sponsored by the Western Kentucky University English Department, with generous support from the Provost's Initiatives for Excellence.
The conference features original analytical essays written by undergraduate students. Students are invited to submit short (five page) versions of any paper they have written in a WKU English class during the year leading up to each conference. Graduate students in the English M.A. program evaluate the submissions and select up to fifteen participants.
At the conference, the selected students read their papers as a part of panels organized around similar themes (see sample programs). A brief question and answer period follows each panel. The conference, which is free, is attended by faculty, students, and members of the public. The students who read at the conference are especially encouraged to invite teachers, friends, and family.
The conference is a significant event for students in the English department. It is the only chance that English literature students have to share their analytical work in a public forum. It exposes them to the type of setting that they may experience in graduate school or as professionals and gives them practice in public speaking. As such, it strongly reinforces WKU's commitment to strong communication (oral and written), critical thinking, active learning, and especially student engagement.
For more information, contact
Ted Hovet

Dear Health Care Provider:Dear Pfizer,
As you might know, Pfizer launched a new direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, "A LIPITOR Heart to Heart," featuring a real LIPITOR patient and encouraging patients to have a discussion with their health care provider about the importance of treating their high cholesterol. When a sample of consumers were presented with the "Heart to Heart" ad, they connected with the real life experience, found it engaging and credible, and felt motivated to speak with their physicians about their CV risk. We are considering expanding this campaign to feature several other real LIPITOR patients and would like your help in identifying potential candidates. All you have to do is click here and download "What was your wake-up call?", which is a brief instructional letter you can provide to the potential candidate(s) to help them learn how they can share their story with Pfizer.
The first ad in the LIPITOR Heart to Heart campaign featured a real LIPITOR patient, John E., who was diagnosed with high cholesterol in his forties and was not treating his condition with medication. Unfortunately, he had a heart attack last year at age 57, but that event served as a "wake-up call" to take better care of his health. Since that time, John has been treating his cholesterol with LIPITOR, along with diet and exercise.
We are asking for your help in identifying patients like John E. who you think have a story to share that would motivate other at-risk patients to talk to their own doctor about their CV risk. This patient's story could be potentially shared via TV, print, internet, or patient education. To be considered, patients should meet the following criteria:
LIPITOR patient for at least 6 months
At cholesterol goal with LIPITOR monotherapy
Age 50-65
If your patient is selected for further consideration, we will follow up with you to obtain copies of their medical records. Your patient will be asked to sign a HIPAA consent form authorizing this release.
If you would like in-office materials to help your patient have a heart to heart with you about their CV risk, please do not hesitate to contact your Pfizer representative.
Pfizer Inc
No doubt you've sent the above letter to lots of other well-meaning doctors. But what you must realize is that I cannot offer you my patient's name since it would completely violate their trust in me regarding divulging aspects of their healthcare to non-interested parties. It is especially troubling that you do not ask the world at large, but rather approach doctors who then risk this ethical compromise. I hope this practice will cease immediately.
Westby G. Fisher, MD
aka, Dr. Wes

Better to put what there is on a small screen, thus making the words available for easy removal with a click of a key, rather than applying them to stone, or paper.Oh, forget about autobiography. What follows isn't even close. At not quite the proverbial Three Score and Ten, he realized he had spent a lifetime trying to do more than his DNA had planned. That meant plenty of falling down, thanks to overreaching. At time the impacts had the feel of second heartbeats. Rags and tatters, to be sure! Such as the time he was delivering magazines to an outlet in Vienna, Illinois, and sprained his ankle so hard it made a sound as though struck by an unseen meteor! His crossing the street in downtown Vienna, with an essential body part swollen to the size of a small cantaloupe, not to mention the pain topping eleven on a scale of from one to ten, would prove unforgettable. The magazines were delivered in spite of everything. Recently, I had a letter from a contributor to Springhouse. Age and ailments had at last caught up with him, he said, making the physical act of writing nearly impossible. Even the short letter I held in my hands had required retyping many times over, except for the last paragraph, which was exactly as he had typed it. Hardly a word in four was spelled correctly; for the most part the last paragraph was unreadable. He had given it his best and now could give no more. It was the most moving letter I ever received. Reading, or, really, trying to read it, sent me back to the man with the cantaloupe ankle. Sure, it was stupid for him to continue walking when the pain was so great, and any foot doctor worth his fee would have bawled him out to the tune of "Stay off that foot, you dolt!" Still… I thought of the people I've known who kept on keeping on until they dropped. I thought of my grandmother, who worked in her garden by the creek until the day she had to quit. I doubt if Grandma read a word of Thoreau in her life, yet she lived by that man's best-known word, thrice repeated— "Simplify, Simplify, Simplify." I told you rags and tatters are the best this piece has to offer. Anybody who knows anything knows such throwaways are held to be worthless. I also know Grandma took rags and tatters and turned them into quilts that are now beyond priceless. Springhouse, P. O. Box 8, Herod, IL 62947

DNASTAR NovaFold was evaluated by recreating the CASP11 competition, in which participants attempted to predict the structures for a given set of target sequences whose structures were previously unknown. In this benchmark test, NovaFold created predictions for these same target sequences which were then evaluated and scored based on the same metrics used in the CASP11 experiment.
A normalized measure of similarity between superimposed protein structures weighs close atom pairs between structures greater than more distant atom pairs. The range varies from 0 to 1, with a higher score indicating a better structural match.
Additional Notes:
- NovaFold versions 12.3 and higher support sequences up to 2,000 residues in length.
- To accurately simulate the conditions of the original competition, the benchmark was run using a library composed only of templates available prior to the end date of the CASP11 contest. In addition, targets leaked during the competition were removed from the benchmark library.
- This benchmark test utilized the Cloud-based version of NovaFold and evaluated structure prediction only, not binding or function prediction.

Missing couple died of blunt-force trauma
Missing couple died of blunt-force trauma
OIL SPRINGS, Ky. —
A coroner says an eastern Kentucky couple whose remains were found nearly six months after they were reported missing died of blunt force trauma.
Johnson County Coroner J.R. Frisby told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the deaths of Larry and Sandra Blanton have been ruled homicides. Their remains were found in February, buried behind a horse barn on property they owned in Oil Springs.
They had been reported missing in September. Police have said that the last time anyone spoke to the couple was Sept. 7, and had classified the disappearance as suspicious.
Evidence in the case will be presented to a grand jury later this month.

The U.S. trade deficit fell in September to the lowest point this year as foreign sales of American-made autos, airplanes and heavy machinery pushed exports to an all-time high.
The deficit narrowed 4 percent to $43.1 billion, the third straight decline and the smallest imbalance since last December, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.
Exports increased 1.4 percent to a record $180.4 billion, reflecting a big increase in shipments of U.S. made autos and auto parts. Imports were up a smaller 0.4 percent to $223.5 billion as oil imports slowed after huge gains earlier in the year.
Through September, the deficit is running at an annual rate of $558.2 billion, up 11.6 percent from the imbalance for all of last year of $500 billion.
A higher deficit acts as a drag on economic growth because it means fewer jobs for American workers. However, with the deficit falling for the last three months, that could provide a small boost to growth in the July-September quarter.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said the improvement in the September trade deficit should mean that the estimate of economic growth in the July-September quarter will be revised higher. He said that the current 2.5 percent growth estimate could be boosted to as much as 2.8 percent when the government revises the figure in two weeks.
However, Dale said he was not looking for trade to add much to economic growth in coming quarters with modest gains in exports being offset by rising imports.
The deficit with China narrowed slightly to $28.1 billion September after setting an all-time high at $29 billion in August. Even with the 3.1 percent drop, the September deficit was still the third highest on record. The deficit with China so far this year is still on track to set a record as the highest imbalance the United States has ever recorded with a single country, surpassing last year's record.
The deficit with Japan narrowed 22.7 percent to $5.2 billion as exports from that country dropped by 12.1 percent. Economists had been predicting that exports from Japan would rise in September as auto plants and other Japanese factories got back to more normal production levels following the March natural disasters.
Imports of oil edged up 0.3 percent to $36.4 billion, reflecting a higher volume of shipments. The average price for a barrel of imported crude oil dropped to $101.02 in September, the fourth consecutive monthly decline. But oil prices were still well above where they were a year ago when a barrel of crude averaged $72.33.
Congress last month approved free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. That ended a four-year impasse in approving new trade deals. The administration says the three deals will boost U.S. exports by $13 billion a year.
The administration contends that agreement with South Korea will support 70,000 American jobs and could increase exports by $10 billion. that would be enough to eliminate the current $10 billion trade deficit the United States has with South Korea. The trade pact will make 95 percent of American consumer and industrial goods sold in South Korea duty free within five years.
Labor unions and others opposed the deals. They said the trade pacts will end up costing American jobs because companies will move more jobs overseas. The rising U.S. trade deficit has fueled growing voter unhappiness, largely because unemployment has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years since the recession ended.
A lot of the political anger is focused on China, given that unemployment remains high in this country and critics contend that unfair Chinese trade practices are costing American jobs.
In October, the Senate approved legislation that would allow the administration to impose penalty tariffs on Chinese products sold in the United States if China does not do more to allow its currency to rise in value against the dollar. The bill faces an uncertain fate in the House.
U.S. manufacturers argue that China is keeping its currency artificially low against the dollar to make Chinese goods cheaper in the United States and American products more expensive in China.

Costume designer Salvador Pérez Jr. may be a veteran in creating wardrobe for several Lifetime television movies, such as "William & Kate," but when it came to transforming actress Lindsay Lohan into Elizabeth Taylor, it proved to be a new challenge for him to tackle.
"I was really put to the test to make the movie believable and iconic at the same time," Pérez told Entertainment Weekly. "And also, we're talking Elizabeth Taylor and Lindsay Lohan, two women who wear clothes very differently. I had to be inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, but flatter Lindsay Lohan."
Fortunately for Pérez, he was able to do both after discovering one common weakness the 26-year-old shared with the Oscar-winning actress.
"Lindsay was constantly watching Elizabeth Taylor movies," explained Pérez. "At the beginning of the way we'd have a fitted costume, but she'd completely change it at the last minute just because she was inspired by something else. Anytime something was going wrong, I'd just pull out more jewelry and say, 'Look, something sparkly, something sparkly! That usually placated her."
Taylor's jewelry collection was legendary, stirring headlines even after her passing at age 79 in 2011. In December that same year, Christie's announced their auction of the late star's jewelry was the most valuable in history, raising over $137 million. The biggest hit was a 16th century pearl named La Peregrina, which sold for over $11 million. The prized pearl was a gift to Taylor from husband Richard Burton, which was given to her in 1969 after purchasing it for $37,000 at an auction. La Peregrina was first discovered in the Gulf of Panama and was part of the crown jewels of Spain for generations.
"Liz & Dick" aired Sunday night to poor reviews, but was praised on Twitter by LiLo's father, Michael Lohan.
"You proved the critics wrong @LindsayLohan you are one of the best, so gifted, so amazing!" tweeted Lohan's father. "Now apply it ALL! God bless you! And our family! All the critics should find new jobs! They know nothing about @lindsaylohan talent! She has more talent in her pinky than all of them together."

Scientists battle to save the world's rarest wolf from rabies by creating 'barrier' of vaccinated wolf packs.
A dedicated team of conservationists are hard at work in the remote Bale Mountains of southern Ethiopia in a race to conserve less than 500 remaining Ethiopian Wolves. The species Ethiopian Wolf (Canis simensis), is classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. The intervention against this deadly disease is endorsed by the IUCN SSC Canid Specialist Group and the IUCN SSC Wildlife Health Specialist Group.


text: Student Profiles Steve Gogolak '05 Steve Gogolak '05 Hometown: Dedham, Massachusetts Major: Economics, with a minor in Film Studies Why did you come to Bowdoin? There were several teachers at my high school, including my hockey coach, [who] had all gone to Bowdoin. And [my coach] still runs the hockey camp here in the summertime. Bowdoin was the second school that I looked at, and [my coach] was here doing the camp at the time, so my mother and I went on the tour and then we went and found him, and he kind of gave us the "other tour." He took us up to the top of [Coles] Tower, and showed us all this stuff that you don't really see on the tour. Having that personal touch added to the college search process was such a big deal. Why did you decide on your major? I've always sort of had an interest in money and finance and how markets work, so it's less of a career path for me, [than] just my inquisitive nature about it. So economics has been great because I've been able to learn how the financial world works, even knowing that [it's] not what I'm ultimately going to end up doing in life. Film? I've always loved movies and I love making movies. Being able to watch a lot of movies and learn about the history of [film] - that exposure to all these other [films] is so good for my process and actually making stuff. You can see how other people do it and develop your own style based on a lot of other styles. What has been your best class at Bowdoin? My favorite class here by far was The Films of Martin Scorcese with Jim Potter, a visiting professor who was here while [Film Department Chair] Tricia Welsch was on sabbatical. Hands-down awesome. I just had the best time. Every class was just so relaxing. We'd basically just watch the movies and then [come] into class and [talk] about them. We would go through certain scenes. It was just so good. For me, that was where I could really open up and actually start saying what I really thought about movies. As opposed to being taught, it was like we were all teaching each other in that class. And it was really small, too - I want to say there were twelve or thirteen of us in it. Last semester, I took Financial Markets with Greg DeCoster [of the Economics Department], and he is quite possibly the funniest professor around because he just says whatever he's going to say and he doesn't hold back. But that class, in terms of learning practical economics, was huge. I'm doing an independent project this semester where I'm making a documentary that's going to be about my father and the history of his life. It's an independent study. It will be coming out in May - there'll be a premiere. The basic story is that he spent the first twelve years of his life in Communist Hungary and his family escaped on their second attempt to come to America. Then he ended up going to Princeton and then he kicked in the NFL. It's a pretty wild story, and [I'm making the documentary] partially because it's a really cool story to share with people and partially because it's a way to document family history. It's something that I've always wanted to do the last four or five years, and then last spring it really kicked in. I've been researching for a while and talking to my dad a lot and we're going to Hungary over spring break. It's really exciting. A labor of love. What more could you want than to be doing something where you're learning a ton but at the same time you're loving every second of it? What extracurriculars do you participate in? What do you like about them? Bowdoin Cable Network was something that I jumped into right away. I didn't know about it before I came to Bowdoin, so that wasn't a factor for me in coming here, but once I got here and I heard that there was a student-run TV station, I [thought] "That's cool. I might want to do stuff." It was really neat because they were using all the same type of equipment and software that I was using in high school casually, so I had a strong foothold right away, and basically just dove right in. I ended up being the general manager last year and I'm the general manager now. Right now I'm working on a project for [the] Development [office]. A lot of people know about the new hockey rink that [Bowdoin is hoping to build] and they're in the fundraising process. I basically pitched an idea to the Development office that [they] should do some type of DVD or something that [they] can send out to people. That way you can have current students and current coaches on there talking about the project, giving a personal touch when you're out there to do your fundraising. You're not just hearing from someone who wants your money, you're hearing from the people who will actually be affected by the project. [The Development office] liked it and they went for it, so we're about halfway through it right now. I work for Residential Life now [as the proctor of Ladd House], which I love. I think it's great. I halfway consider living in [Ladd] House to be an on-campus job that you don't get paid for. This is my third year living here. I love every minute of it. I think that the College House System is something that is really good and is sort of still trying to figure out exactly who it is, but it's getting there and I love it and swear by it. The people that are in social houses work incredibly hard. It's work, but it's fun, and the people who live here really enjoy it. What is your best Bowdoin memory? The Bowdoin-Colby hockey game is something that, if you go to one, you will never ever forget what that atmosphere is like. And I don't think after Bowdoin I'm ever going to see anything like that ever again. Not in a building like that with that many people and that level of dedication from the fans - it's pretty amazing. What are your plans after graduation? Basically, I have figured out that what I want to do is produce. And a lot of people say, "Oh, that's great. What does that mean?" Being a producer - you're a writer, you're an event coordinator, you have a scope of a whole project. I don't want to go out to Hollywood and make movies or anything like that, but definitely producing on a smaller scale, stuff for television, even stuff that's not on the air, whether it's fundraising videos or corporate videos or things like that. It's a lot of fun. I worked at a company last summer and then again over winter break sort of getting a feel for the industry and I really like it. Is there anything else about Bowdoin or your experiences here that you'd like a prospective student to know? I think the biggest thing is don't spread yourself too thin. If you like something, really go for it and dedicate yourself to it because, for me at least, it's been ten times more rewarding doing one thing that I really love all the time as opposed to going all over the place and doing a bunch of different things. And I think Bowdoin is a place where you can really do that. There's a million opportunities and it's great because it seems like, here especially, a lot of people find something they really like and jump onto it whether its academic or extracurricular or athletic.
