ELMA, N.Y. (AP) — About 74,000 school nurses will head back to school this fall with the goal of keeping attendance up for students who are facing ever-more challenging lessons.
School nurses these days not only have a supply of Band-Aids and ice packs to treat the bumps, bruises and paper cuts of school life — but they also have things like rocking chairs and stuffed animals for when comfort is the best medicine. They're finding they have to be ready for pretty much anything because their job is always changing.
Today's nurses might suction tracheostomies, monitor insulin pumps and inhalers or dispense condoms. They've come a long way since 1902, when the first school nurse worked in New York City to stem the spread of contagious diseases like diphtheria and scarlet fever.

NEWARK, N.J. – Federal authorities in New Jersey say they've broken up a large-scale identity theft and fraud ring that stretches from the insular Korean enclaves of northern New Jersey to U.S. territories in the Pacific.
Fifty-three people, many of them Korean immigrants living in New York and New Jersey, are charged with helping people fraudulently obtain credit cards, bank accounts and loans using illegally obtained Social Security numbers.
Authorities say the ringleaders operated a scheme to buy Social Security cards from brokers who fraudulently obtained them from Asian immigrants — mostly Chinese nationals — working in American territories, including Guam, American Samoa and Saipan.
They then resold the cards to Korean immigrants in the territorial U.S. who used them to apply for U.S. driver's licenses in California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Nevada, New York and elsewhere. Several of the defendants used their identifications to apply for credit cards. Some used all the credit they obtained, buying luxury goods such as vehicles, designer bags or liquor, some of it to resell.
"The activity in this instance was a virtual crime superstore, with one-stop shopping for a variety of criminal needs," FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward said. "The criminal activity was sophisticated, and the extent of the fraud committed by this group is believed to be substantial, if not staggering."
Forty-seven defendants were arrested Thursday and another already was being detained by the state. Authorities still are trying to locate five defendants.
The one in state custody, Kang-Hyuk Choi, is in jail facing charges in the May 2008 triple slaying of a Korean family in their home in Tenafly, N.J.
Choi, of Valley Stream, N.Y., is charged with killing his 27-year-old friend Han-Il Kim, then waiting hours in Kim's room before killing his mother and uncle.
Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said Thursday that detectives investigating the killings believe Choi and Kim had been arguing over money from a similar identity and credit card scheme.
After authorities learned such schemes were widespread, the investigation expanded to include the FBI, the U.S. attorney's office and local law enforcement agencies, Molinelli said.
Choi was charged Thursday in a separate complaint with identity and credit fraud. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
Officials from the FBI and U.S. attorney's office said Thursday that 43 of the defendants are charged with participating in a large-scale criminal enterprise of fraud and identity theft. Separately, 10 people are charged with similar offenses.
Authorities say the alleged ringleader, Sang-Hyun Park of Palisades Park, N.J., ran the operation by using shell businesses and advertising the sale of U.S. identity documents in local Korean-language newspapers.
Authorities say Park employed a staff that included identity document brokers, staffers that worked to increase credit limits and boost scores for customers using the fraudulently obtained credit cards, and local merchants who would swipe the cards at their businesses to get banks to transmit them money, according to court documents.
It was not immediately clear if Park had a lawyer.
The defendants would max out the cards, then write checks from bank accounts opened under the names on the Social Security cards to cover the bill, thus increasing their credit line, according to the charges. Several defendants would then max out the new line of credit before the checks would bounce, according to court documents. Banks, retailers and credit companies were unable to collect from the defendants, as they were operating under the identities listed on the Social Security cards.
The Social Security cards used in the scheme all began with the prefix 586, indicating they were limited edition numbers issued predominantly to laborers in U.S. territories, according to U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman.
Fishman said it wasn't clear why the cards, which he said were no longer being used, were accepted at driver's license agencies across the U.S.
"Any loophole or risk that allows people to get fake identities for this purpose, can be a loophole that's exploited to get fake identities for other purposes," Fishman said. He added that his office is working with other law enforcement agencies to examine that issue.
A message left with the Social Security Administration was not immediately returned.

Nova L. Walker, 49 - February 28, 2013Nova L. Walker, 49, of Cozad passed away Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013, at Golden Living Center in Cozad after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
Services will take place on Monday, March 4, at 1 p.m. at the First Church of the Nazarene in Cozad with the Rev. Rodney Mohler officiating. Burial will be at the Walnut Grove Cemetery, north of Cozad.
Walker was born April 20, 1963, at Cozad to John and Shirley (Adle) Freeman. She attended Cozad High School.
On April 9, 1979, she married William "Bill" Walker in Mississippi. The couple made their home in Cozad where she began work at SouthView Manor as a CNA. She continued her education while working at the care home, and eventually worked her way to the dietary management position.
After about 10 years in the dietary position, she then began work at Burkinks Foods where she became a supervisor. She also drove a school bus for the Cozad school system.
In 1993, she and her husband moved to Eddyville where she drove the local school bus and also served as an EMT for the local rescue squad. They would later move to Osceola to be close to family, eventually returning to Cozad in January of 2013.
Faith was the backbone of her life, and it was her self-proclaimed goal in life to let others know that Jesus loves them through encouragement and time spent with others, according to family members. She made a conscious effort to live her faith daily, even when her health left her with plenty of things she could have complained about, the family said.
She volunteered as a Salvation Army bell ringer and loved working with kids, which was exemplified by the special efforts she made travelling to local schools and raising awareness of bullying among young students by means of puppets. She had also volunteered as an EMT for both the Cozad and Eddyville rescue squads.
While Walker was devout in her spiritual life, in the context of family life, she was a wonderful prankster and always made people laugh with her great sense of humor and easy smile, the family said. She deeply enjoyed socializing, and when she and her husband returned to Cozad, she loved to spend time at the coffee shop with friends. She was also a wonderful grandmother and loved every minute spent with her three grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by: her parents, John and Shirley; her son, Shane; a brother, Nolan Freeman.
Survivors include: her husband, Bill Walker of Cozad; her daughter, Tanya (James) Pearson of Osceola; two sons—Talon Walker (Angela Perrin) and William L. Walker of Osceola; three grandchildren—Tana, Zoey and Zayden; two brothers—Rick (Linna) Freeman of Seattle, WA, and Jesse (Katrina) Freeman of Jay, OK; three sisters—Alicia Heiden of LaVista, Bonnie Jeanne (Wesley) Flaming of Jay and Dawn (Ben) Hosterman of Tulsa, OK; numerous other relatives and friends.
A memorial has been established.

If you were farming 30 years ago, you may remember when soybeans averaged 27 bu./acre. At that time, 40 million acres were planted to the crop and 32 varieties were available to plant. This year, more than 70 million acres are planted in soybeans from 1,000 different varieties. Farmers can expect yields averaging 40 bu./acre.

Mario Chalmers scored 26 points and Chris Bosh added 24 as the Miami Heat won their 18th straight game, easily topping the Indiana Pacers 105-91 on Sunday night.
The 18-game streak ties the seventh-longest in NBA history, and is the league's best since the Boston Celtics won 19 straight during the 2008-2009 season.
Miami will try for No. 19 when they host Atlanta tonight.
The win also gave Miami (47-14) a victory over every NBA team this season.
The Heat lost both previous meetings with Indiana.
Dwyane Wade scored 23 points for the Heat, who controlled the game, despite a season-low 13 points from LeBron James. Ray Allen added 11 for Miami.
David West scored 17 of his 24 points in the first half for the Pacers, who fell nine games behind Miami in the Eastern Conference standings.
Roy Hibbert scored 15, D.J. Augustin had 14 and Paul George scored 10 for Indiana.
Raptors 100, Cavaliers 96
In Toronto, Amir Johnson scored 17 points and matched his career high with 16 rebounds, while Alan Anderson scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter.
Cavaliers star guard Kyrie Irving was knocked out by an apparent shoulder injury late in the third quarter as Cleveland lost for the fourth time in five games.
Irving was hurt when he collided with Toronto rookie Jonas Valanciunas on a baseline drive with 2 minutes, 4 seconds left in the third. He shot the resulting free throws one-handed. Irving made the first, but missed the second, before walking off and heading to the locker room. He finished with 12 points.
Irving missed 11 games between Nov. 21 and Dec. 8 last year with a broken finger. He also sat out three games between Feb. 26 and March 1 with a sore right knee.
Lakers 90, Bulls 81
In Los Angeles, Dwight Howard scored 16 points and grabbed 21 rebounds, while Kobe Bryant chipped in with 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for Los Angeles as the Lakers improved their win-loss record to 33-31, the first time this season they have been two games over .500.
They also moved one-half game ahead of the Utah Jazz and into sole possession of the No. 8 and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Lakers led almost throughout, only briefly falling behind by two points in the second quarter, and led by as many as 18 in the third period.
Nate Robinson led the Bulls with 19 points, while Joakim Noah had 18 points and 17 rebounds.
Howard made eight of 14 shots from the floor, but missed all five free throws.
Thunder 91, Celtics 79
In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Kevin Durant had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook scored 15 points as the Thunder stretched their winning streak to five games.
The Thunder limited Boston to 25 percent shooting in the second half after the Celtics shot 51 percent in the first.
Oklahoma City used an 11-2 run at the start of the fourth quarter to close it out.
The Celtics had pulled within 68-65 after three quarters, before going without a basket for the first five minutes of the fourth, and they never could recover.
Paul Pierce had 20 points to lead Boston, who had their own run of five straight wins broken. Kevin Garnett chipped in 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Magic 99, 76ers 91
In Orlando, Florida, Jameer Nelson had 24 points and 10 assists, while Nik Vucevic added 14 points and 17 rebounds. The win ended the Magic's seven-game home losing streak, their longest skid in Orlando since 2003-04.

On Monday, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan publicly addressed the U.S. use of drone strikes against suspected terrorists in countries with which the United States is not at war, like Yemen and Pakistan. The fact that Brennan publicly addressed the drone strikes is a significant improvement, long overdue. We can't say we have meaningful democratic oversight over government policy if government officials refuse to talk about government policy in public - enabling us to challenge what they say - and it's preposterous to claim that the drone strikes are "secret" when they are openly reported in the media.
But John Brennan didn't tell the whole truth about the drone strikes. Brennan claimed that "the United States government conducts targeted strikes against specific al-Qaeda terrorists," but Brennan didn't admit that the U.S. has launched drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen against people who are not known to be on any list of "suspected terrorists," without knowing who would be killed.
Brennan's statement that "the United States government conducts targeted strikes against specific al-Qaeda terrorists" gives the impression that the U.S. only conducts drone strikes against people "on a list," as President Obama claimed in January. As the New York Times and the Washington Post have reported, this is not true: in Pakistan and now in Yemen, the President has authorized "signature strikes" against people who are not on a list, but fit a "profile" of "suspicious activity." Senior U.S. officials have warned that these "profiling strikes" raise the risk of killing civilians and the risk of killing people who had no relationship to attacks on the United States, which in the case of Yemen, could increase the perception that the U.S. is taking sides in Yemen's internal conflict with people in the south who feel disenfranchised by the central government.
Not only do "signature strikes" increase the risk of killing civilians and people who have no dispute with the U.S.; their existence is crucial to the question of whether the drone strikes are legal. John Brennan claimed that the drone strikes are legal under the 2001 authorization of military force, but as law scholar Bruce Ackerman has noted, that Congressional resolution authorized force against those responsible for the September 11 attacks and those who harbored them, not against unknown people in Yemen whose reported behavior fits a "profile" of suspected terrorist activity.
On Monday, Brennan acknowledged that U.S. drone strikes have killed innocent civilians. But Brennan claimed civilian deaths have been "exceedingly rare." This raises the question of what Brennan's notion of "exceedingly rare" is. The New America Foundation has estimated that the "non-military fatality rate" of drone strikes is 13%. Is something that happens 13% of the time "exceedingly rare"? About 14% of days are Sundays. Are Sundays "exceedingly rare"?
Congress could do something about this. The National Defense Authorization Act is coming up for consideration. Members of Congress could move to amend the NDAA to prohibit "signature" drone strikes.
On May 19, John Brennan is scheduled to give the commencement address at Fordham University. This is a very appropriate occasion to challenge John Brennan to tell the whole truth about drone strikes. A commencement speaker is supposed to be an exemplary person who inspires new graduates to do good. One thing the Wall Street meltdown showed was the need to inspire young people to tell the whole truth. George Washington was not reported to have said, "I cannot tell a lie: I didn't do everything I could to stop the cherry tree from being chopped down." Let John Brennan set a good example for our youth. Urge John Brennan to tell the American people the whole truth about the drone strikes.

I remember when I first heard that Samsung was about to produce a phone with a five inch screen – the Samsung Galaxy Note.
From the moment I saw it I knew that my iPhone's days were numbered and that I wanted a phone with a screen that size.
A year on and I have absolutely zero regrets about buying the Note. I did worry that I might miss an iPhone app or two. But to be honest, apart from one London Coffee app that I used quite a lot but isn't available on Google Play, I have never suffered iPhone app envy.
So today brings news from China Times that Apple is apparently considering launching a phone with a 4.8inch screen called the Math.
Here's what Tech Digest had to say
According to China Times, the iPhone Math will measure 4.8 inches in size, nearly an inch bigger than the current iPhone 5, and will be positioned as an alternative to large screen "phablet" devices from Samsung, LG, HTC and Sony.
While little is known about the device (and all should be taken with a pinch of salt) the source also claims that the handset will pack in an 8MP camera, provided by Largan Precision.
Firstly is a 4.8inch screen device a Phablet? Not really. You could argue that given the success of the Samsung Galaxy S3 that 4.8inches is emerging as standard screen size for smartphones. Phablets have screens of more than fine inches, well according to Wikipedia anyhow.
If it is true then it shows once again that Apple is prepared to offer bigger screens on its phones and maybe a true Phablet will follow.
Apple needs to move quickly. It has gifted a whole market sector to several of its rivals, and although brand loyalty should ensure that the iPhablet is a runaway hit, Apple will be seen as followers rather than innovators.
It also runs the risk of the whole Phablet market being dominated by Samsung. So catching up, even with Apple's huge marketing muscle, is going to be no easy task.
I have owned quite a few Apple products in my time, but I would say that I am pretty agnostic about the brand as a whole. I will buy the best product rather than the buy a product from a specific brand when it comes to tech. Quite often this has been Apple, but not always.
However when I swapped my iPhone for the Note a lot of die-hard Apple friends of mine were very cynical and put up the following objections. If you look at these now I think that they are all about loyalty to a brand rather than thinking logically about the way the phones might develop.
1 You don't need a phone with a screen that big
Well actually you do, or at least some of you do. As phones have evolved the amount of time we spend using them for making calls has diminished compared with texting, messaging, reading ebooks, surfing the web and more. Once you have used a Phablet the iPhone's screen seems incredibly small and fiddly. There really is no going back. The future of smartphones is all about bigger screens and this is something that seems to have passed Apple by.
2 You look stupid making a phone call with it
Yep, Dom Jolly. Heard that joke so many times before. Yet I noticed on the bus the other day that larger screen phones – including the Samsung Galaxy S3 in this list – actually outnumber iPhones now, so it really isn't an issue. Besides as I said before we are making fewer calls on our mobiles than we used to.
3 Where am I going to put it?
Most men could easily house a six incher in their pockets -every pun intended. The Note is actually quite slim too so it doesn't feel especially obtrusive. I appreciate that many women won't carry a huge phone in their pocket, but then don't a lot of women carry their mobiles in handbags?
In short I think that the arguments are over and that when Apple does produce a Phablet, as it inevitability will, all the doubters from 2012 will be zealous converts to the Phablet cause.
Finally it is worth pondering exactly where will smartphones go in the future? Could screens get any larger? At CES we saw the Huawei Ascend Mate with its six inch screen. Might a seven inch phone be on the cards? Well no, and yes. Samsung is certainly rumoured to be thinking about a 6.8inch Note.
Running in tandem with the development of bigger phones is the growth of smart watches that hook up to mobiles wirelessly via Bluetooth and display messages, social media updates etc and even allows the user to make calls.
Having played with a few of these I can vouch for the fact that we are a long way from the smart watch going mass market. The watches are just too fiddly and not especially easy to use. Ironically what they need is a company who are brilliant at user interfaces to make them work – know of anyone?
But they will get there in the end. So maybe one day you will have a smart watch, or even some other wearable item, that you use for the basic consumption of messages etc, but with a large screen – maybe even 7 inch device – for surfing the web, reading books, gaming and even a little bit of work.
It is a combo that would suit me perfectly.

Minnesota Apple Crop Arrives Early
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota's apple crop has arrived early.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture says most varieties are ripening one to two weeks ahead of normal, and many orchards already have early-season varieties such as Zestar for sale.
While the crop is smaller than usual, the department says quality is still high.
The early start to the harvest has its roots in Minnesota's unusually warm March. Unfortunately, that also left the apple blossoms vulnerable to frost at a critical time in April.
John Jacobson of Pine Tree Orchards in White Bear Lake says quality local apples will be available, just not as many as normal.
While many growers are expecting a much smaller crop, the department says some growers are seeing more apples than they been expecting right after the frost.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The preseason hasn't gone as planned for the King University women's volleyball team, but head coach Chris Toomey's squad has fought through the adversity of not being able to practice on campus for a week, and is ready to kick off the 2013 season. The Tornado return nearly everyone from a squad that finished third in the Conference Carolinas West Division, leaving expectations high for 2013.
A season ago, the Tornado had one of the most potent offenses in Conference Carolinas, ranking in the top half of the league in kills (2nd), kills per set (4th), hitting percentage (4th), assists (2nd) and assists per set (4th). King finished with a 16-16 overall record while going 9-7 in league play, finishing third in the west division and fifth overall in Conference Carolinas.
Conference Carolinas Defensive Player of the Year, Payton Tipton headlines a solid group of returners for Toomey. The junior from Cleveland, Tenn., was also named second team all-conference after leading the Tornado, and ranking third in the league with 454 digs (3.95 digs per set) to anchor the King defense. Fellow junior, and Jonesborough, Tenn., native Brooke Calhoun will compete with Tipton for time in the back row after ranking second in the team with 253 digs a season ago.
"Payton is certainly a leader on our team, both as captain off the court and on the court just in her play," Toomey said. "Payton is one of those players that are so consistent, you always know what to expect from her, and she's always going to step up and perform. She was honored last year as defensive player of the year, and very deservingly so, she's excellent."
"But we have other players that are stepping up at the position too, Brooke Calhoun returns, she was a starter for us last year, just exceptional in the back row, as well as Casey Williams and Maribeth Kern who both played in a defensive role last year," Toomey continued. "Defense is such a big part of the game, and knowing that we have a group back there, that is not only veteran, but they have a lot of grit and have a love for that position, I think that we're going to be really strong in the backcourt."
Offensively, the Tornado return two all-conference selections, outside hitter Summer Kremer and setter Olivia Underwood. Kremer earned second team all-conference honors after leading Conference Carolinas with 448 kills, and ranking second with a kills per set average of 3.70 in 2012. The junior from Mills River, N.C., also posted an attack percentage of .223, ranking her third on the team. Underwood hails from Pearland, Texas, and was named third team all-conference after dishing out 931 assists in her freshman season, ranking fourth in the league. Her assists per set average of 8.46 also ranked fourth in the league. Senior Mariah Herington should add a nice compliment on the right side as she ranked third on the team a season ago with 195 kills. The Jonesborough, Tenn., native added 38 total blocks, 12 solo last year.
Fellow senior, Kelsey Griffitts, along with sophomore Grace Underwood both return in the middle for the Tornado. Griffitts, a native of Bristol, Va., led King with 73 total blocks, including 19 solo stuffs while Underwood, a sophomore from Pearland, Texas ranked second on the team with 67 total blocks and 220 kills from the middle.
The Tornado were selected to finish second in the Conference Carolinas Preseason Coaches' Poll with 68 points and three first place votes. Belmont Abbey College was picked first with 79 points, and received the final seven first place votes while Erskine College was selected third with 65 points.
King opens the 2013 campaign on September 6 and 7 at the University of West Georgia Tournament where the Tornado will play four matches. The following weekend, the Tornado host the King University Invitational which will take place on September 13 and 14 in the Student Center Complex. King opens Conference Carolinas play on September 20 when they host Belmont Abbey College.

An Alabama cotton merchant says U.S. exports to China could increase significantly in coming years if the U.S. government and the People's Republic can resolve differences in their trading systems.
But such gains must be "taken in context with the demise of the U.S. textile industry," said Robert Weil II, a National Cotton Council vice president and Montgomery, Ala., merchant, in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee.
"I am convinced we will sell more cotton to China in the years ahead," said Weil, who noted that China is expected to import up to 8 million bales in the 2004-05 marketing year and up to 14.5 million bales in 2005-06 as it continues to expand its textile manufacturing sector.
"At the same time, our long-standing customer, the U.S. textile industry, continues to erode financially in the face of competition from textile imports – and there is no more competitive textile and apparel manufacturer in the world than China. With its rate of increase in cotton production, cotton mill use and cotton purchasing, China is the dominant force in world cotton."
Weil said China thus far in the 2004 marketing year has about 2 million bales in commitments from the United States and is expected to import up to 8 million bales from all sources.
China also produced a record 29 million bales of cotton in calendar year 2004 and exported almost $55 billion of textile and apparel products, a 50 percent increase since 2002. USDA is projecting imports of 14.5 million bales by China in 2005-06.
China reneges
Although China agreed to open its markets to more U.S. exports when it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, the road to reaching that goal has been filled with pot holes.
Before China increased its imports of U.S. cotton following a 2003's short crop, U.S. cotton leaders complained that China was not filling the tariff rate quota purchases it promised to make in its WTO accession agreement.
China countered with complaints about the quality of U.S. cotton shipments, and, last summer, its textile mills began defaulting on purchases of U.S. cotton after it became apparent 2004 production would be sharply higher than 2003's 21 million bales.
Weil said some of the difficulties have been due to a lack of understanding of the world cotton trading system by the Chinese.
The Cotton Council recently played host to an intern from the China Cotton Association to help assist Chinese mill buyers in their understanding of U.S. cotton industry business systems and trade terms and plans to send an intern to China this year to work with the CCA, he said.
Weil's testimony revealed something of the dilemma the cotton industry faces in trying to "cultivate China as a good customer," as Weil put it, while working to salvage what's left of the U.S. textile industry.
Since it joined the WTO, China has steadily increased its shipments of textile and apparel products to the United States while U.S. manufacturers have closed plants and laid off 381,000 workers. With the expiration of all textile imports quotas last Jan. 1, Chinese textile and apparel shipments to the United States have jumped several hundred percent.
1,000 Pct. jump
Chinese exports of cotton trousers and knit shirts to the United States have risen by more than 1,000 percent over exports for the same period a year ago, according to figures from the U.S. Office of Textiles and Apparel.
Weil noted that China is now estimated to be spinning about 41 million bales of cotton annually while U.S. cotton mill use has fallen to about 6 million bales a year or 40 percent below the rates that existed in the 1990s.
National Cotton Council representatives have been working with U.S. textile manufacturing groups to persuade the government to implement safeguard provisions authorized in China's accession agreement to the WTO. The safeguards limit the increase in the amount of textile products that can be imported into the United States annually to 7.5 percent.
The U.S. Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements, a multi-agency task force from four government departments, recently announced it was self-initiating safeguard proceedings for several categories of textiles and apparel imports from China.

HOUSTON - Sugar, slime, wine and roaches -- which of these things do not belong? The answer may depend on where you're dining.
When health inspectors stopped by the Royal Restaurant at 11919 Bissonnet, they said they saw dead roaches in a container holding 75 pounds of sugar. There were also dead roaches on the lids of flour and sugar containers and the ice machine. Live roaches were on the wall in the food preparation area.
Owner Jaffar Ali may have been surprised to see Local 2 consumer investigator Amy Davis when she walked in, but he said he didn't have anything to hide. Ali said he has the place exterminated twice a month, but doesn't know what caused the recent infestation.
At the Olive Garden at 2750 Highway 6 South, inspectors said they spotted a live roach near the dishwasher.
There were roaches around the hand sink at Pho Vinh at 10910 Fuqua, inspectors said.
At the Shahnai Restaurant 5920 Hillcroft, inspectors said they tossed a bulk container of some sort of spice covered with small insects.
Inspectors said there were drain flies buzzing around the storage room and the bakery at Rice Epicurean on Memorial.
When inspectors dropped by The Tasting Room in Uptown Park, they said they found black slime in the ice machine. You might remember the slime was clear and tan when inspectors wrote the place up back in December. Hopefully the wine bar cleans it up this time.
Want some good options for dining out? Check out Pronto Cucinino on Town & Country Boulevard or the Panda Express at 5767 Hollister. Both restaurants earn A's for spotless inspections in this week's Restaurant Report Card.

Are you avoiding Facebook for marketing? Maybe you're wondering, "Why should I care about Facebook?"
There's a lot of misconceptions and frustrations floating around when it comes to Facebook.
In this article, I'll help debunk some of the big Facebook myths that may be preventing you from an amazing opportunity.
Why Facebook Marketing?
First and foremost, Facebook, like other social media, is a phenomenal way to become more visible and successful by making a face for yourself online.
Facebook is now the largest social network on the planet with over 500 million active users, long ago surpassing former social networking giant MySpace—and it continues to grow at 1 million new users a week.
Considering those numbers, you have to ask yourself—do you think your target market might be there? And if you're not there, what might you be missing?

WESTPORT, Conn. -- Staples High grad Justin Paul continues to be a winner.
Not only did the Westport native grab an Oscar for "La Land's" ''City of Stars," his tunes from the Broadway show, "Dear Evan Hansen" have struck a chord with an 11-year-old from Rye, N.Y. So much so that that boy, a sixth-grader at Rye Middle School, has gained a newfound sense of confidence.
Daniel Pellegrini, who had been bullied at school, found solace in the song "Waving Through a Window," which he first heard on the radio. The song spoke to him so much, he chose to perform it at the annual "Rye's Got Talent" event Saturday, March 11, at Rye Country Day School.
Though he didn't win, he did win the hearts and minds of the audience who gave him a standing ovation -- along with lots of clapping and waving. Pellegrini's story had been broadcast on CBS News after a friend who is a singing coach heard the story of his struggle and shared it with a CBS Producer.
Now, the Westchester student has turned into a local star. Most importantly, he's reconciled with the students who made him feel bad initially.
Mom Laura said it's been an amazing experience that has taught her son resilience and the power of communication.
Another nice outcome: The family has been contacted by the "Dear Evan Hansen" cast -- they even tweeted him to "break a leg" in the middle of his performance -- and have invited them to see the Broadway show in person.

|This company has recently been acquired or received a credible acquisition offer.
In 2009, BNI was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway (BRK).[1]
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI) is the second-largest U.S. railroad company with over 6,300 locomotives and 32,000 route miles. The company ships freight, such as coal and agricultural products, throughout the western two thirds of the United States.
In recent years, Burlington has benefited from rising demand for coal energy in the US. Increasing volumes of imports from China have also increased demand for BNI services. Most imports enter the U.S. through California and have to be shipped through out the U.S. by railroad companies like Burlington.
BNSF primarily serves the Midwestern, Western, and Southern regions and ports of the US. BNSF transports coal and a range of consumer, industrial, and agricultural products.
The following map shows BNSF's primary routes and trackage rights - which allow BNSF to access major cities and ports in the western and southern United States as well as Canadian and Mexican traffic. BNSF also serves many smaller markets by working with over 200 shortline (short regional transportation) partners. BNSF also has an agreement with CSX (CSX), Kansas City Southern (KSU), and Canadian National Railway Company which expands the marketing reach for all 4 companies and their customers.
Demand for coal will play an important role in BNI's growth prospects, as coal accounts for 20% of its revenues. The company mostly transports coal from the Powder River Basin (PRB) of Montana/Wyoming to coal-fired utilities and industrial users. In 2006, PRB coal averaged $1.31/Million British Thermal Units (MMBtu) delivered – easily the lowest priced American coal and substantially below natural gas delivered costs of $5.00/MMBtu or more. Last year, Burlington delivered over 55% of PRB coal. Much of BNI's coal business is based on legacy contracts that will see significant price adjustments upwards to current market rates. It is estimated that 60% of BNI's coal contracts will be renegotiated in the next 5 years to BNI's benefit.
Agricultural products account for some 16% of BNSF revenues. Growing global food and ethanol demand has resulted in increased production of corn, soybean, wheat, and a whole host of other agricultural commodities. BNSF's rail network is well positioned to serve the grain-producing regions of the Midwest and Great Plains. This could boost this segment's freight revenue.
BNI's main competition comes from other railroads and the long-haul trucking industry. Union Pacific (UNP) is the primary railroad competitor. Many of their tracks run parallel and they service many of the same ports. UNP is the larger of the two companies and is the only railroad that services all six gateways to Mexico. However, BNI has better operational efficiency, as measured by it average operating ratio (operating expenses/operating revenue) - BNSF's average operating ratio over the past five years is about 4% lower than UNP's. In response, UNP created the Unified Plan in 2005-2006 to lower their operating ratio. It is designed to increase speed, efficiency, and improve asset utilization by changing their transportation system. The plan is new, but its impact could be noticeable over the next few years.

Folding Adirondack Chairs at Manchester Wood are the heritage symbol of our American made furniture brand. Shop our exclusive version right now on ManchesterWood.com at 10% off!
"Adirondacks from the Adirondacks…" our folding Adirondack chairs have a story all their own. And it began right in our mills backyard in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George. "While taking boat rides on the lake, 'the boys' and Cliff (our founder) would pass by various old family estates that had Adirondack chairs on their property set by campfire pits or on sprawling front yards and, most iconically, on docks. A friend and neighbor at the lake lent Cliff one of his Adirondack chairs to study and reference for dimensions. Thus began our company's development of folding Adirondack chairs.
The chair given to Cliff was extra large and made out of softwood. The design had a lot of support pieces and very wide arms. The back of the chair was comprised of many narrow slats. It was also very low, so when you slid down into the seat, it was comfortable, but hard to get out of! So Cliff and the company woodworkers set about improving on the design. Early on it was decided that the chairs should be foldable. Easy storage was a key feature in Cliff's mind as he had seen too many prematurely weathered and dilapidated chairs on the docks and shores of Lake George. Unlike bulkier designs that were a hassle to move and took up too much space to store inside easily, the folding design did not take up as much space and encouraged customers to keep the chairs inside over the winter.
The initial design developed by Cliff had slats that were all the same width, including the seat legs. The chair featured narrower arms in an effort to keep the price competitive with similar wood furniture pieces imported by foreign manufacturers. When all was said and done, Cliff had reviewed over 10 different styles of Adirondack Chairs from the Lake George area…" read more from this article on the back-story of our famous folding Adirondack chairs published by our friends L.L.

John Habib's City Sports: Livingston runs promote post-Marathon healing
By JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
Christine Pariseau Telge
crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon about 15 minutes before the first bomb went off on Boylston Street. Her family — husband
Peter Telge
and sons
, 6, and
, 8 — had been stationed at Heartbreak Hill, about six miles from the finish. She remembers seeing her brother,
Henry Pariseau
, standing with spectators in front of what would become the second bomb site. Fortunately, he left to join her family just moments after she passed him.
As we all know, not everyone was so fortunate. Three people perished, and more than 280 others, including competitors and spectators, were injured. Fifteen people lost limbs, some suffering double amputations.
One of those double amputees was
Jeff Bauman Jr.
, a resident of Chelmsford, Mass., who works at the Nashua Costco and has family in New Hampshire.
Bauman may be the best known of the Marathon bombing survivors, partly because of the iconic, if gruesome, images of him being rescued by cowboy-hat-wearing
Carlos Arredondo
, and, more significantly, because of his role in helping to identify one of the bombing suspects. In the past few weeks, Bauman has made public appearances to wave a giant Bruins banner before a B's playoff game at TD Garden and to throw out a ceremonial first pitch — along with Arredondo — before a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
While Bauman is recovering from his injuries, he still has a long way to go.
For Telge — part of a group of runners associated with her sons' Manchester school, Green Acres Elementary, who ran the Marathon — the memories of April 15 are fresh, her sympathy for Bauman and the other victims powerful. She recalls how, reunited with her family, she quickly reached her car and escaped the city.
"As we drove through Boston, the sirens started," she said. "When we got on the highway, there were sirens from all directions. We knew it was bad. I started crying, but tried to keep it from the boys.
"Then the texting started. Our running group had 15 runners there. Everyone was trying to find everyone else. Phones were down. It was crazy. Then came texts from others that were hearing on the television and radio about bombs. It was the craziest hour of my life."
When Telge got home, she said, Tyler, her 8-year-old, didn't want to talk about what he had just experienced. Zach, wanted to know why someone would want to hurt people with bombs.
Weeks later during dinner, Telge said, the boys, who also are part of a Green Acres Elementary running team, expressed a desire to do something to help Bauman. From that, the idea of a family-themed running event and fundraiser was borne.
On Sunday, the Unity 1-Miler and Family Fun Runs will take place at Livingston Park. After registration at 9:45 a.m., a series of kids' races — at distances ranging from 50 to 400 meters, based on age — will take place on the Dr. Louis T. Gatsas track while the adults head off into the woods around Dorrs Pond with the option of a 1- or 2-mile trail run. The event will culminate at 11:20, when everyone gathers on the track for the 1-Mile Unity Run.
While registration is free — the emphasis is on family participation, Telge said — there will be a table where donations will be collected to a fund set up to help Bauman with his recovery. Anyone who contributes $10 or more will be admitted to an afternoon fundraiser at the Telge's Manchester brewpub, Milly's Tavern, with proceeds from that event going to funds set up for other New Hampshire victims of the Marathon bombings.
"While I would like to raise money for the (Bauman) fund, it's also important for my boys to be a part of something — to show their strength, to talk about the fact that they were at the Boston Marathon and that they're OK now," Telge said of the Livingston Park event.
She hopes Boston Marathon entrants who were prevented from finishing will participate and encourages everyone to wear a favorite Boston T-shirt.
"It's about helping Jeff and bringing runners together in a show of unity," she said.

TWO BELOVED Manchester sports figures —
Butch Joseph
, the former longtime city athletics director and football official, and
Joe Sullivan
, retired from teaching at Manchester High West and covering sports for the New Hampshire Union Leader — continue to undergo care after recent hospital stays.
Joseph recently underwent throat surgery for the second time in five years and is home resting. Sullivan, admitted for high blood pressure and sugar levels, is currently at the Hackett Hill Healthcare Center in Manchester.
"There are many people in the city who love these gentlemen. My advice to anyone wishing to contact them would be to kindly mail a card to their homes," said former Manchester High West athletics director
Frank Harlan
, a close friend of both Joseph and Sullivan. "I personally pick up the mail at Joe's home every day and deliver it. I'm sure Butch's family would appreciate it as well."
Sullivan's address is 21 Larchmont Road, Manchester, 03104. Joseph resides at 157 Sunnyside St., Manchester, 03103.
The entire sports staff at the New Hampshire Union Leader wishes both men a speedy recovery.

Sweeney Post's will be at Piscataquog Park tomorrow at 9 a.m., and Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. Post 79 will hold tryouts at Memorial High Tuesday through Thursday, also at 6 p.m.

So with all the enthusiasm that surrounds us in the media, and especially the gym, I can honestly say that Fitness is for Everyone!
Solving the Fat Problem
Every physical and psychological function requires energy. If we had no energy we simply could not exist. We obtain our energy from the foods we consume while they supply varying levels of energy. Food energy is calculated in measurements known as Calories. When we eat we supply our bodies with caloric sources of energy. We release this energy by: 1) Moving; all physical activities, 2) Thinking; all psychological functions, and by, 3) Metabolism; the operational and recuperative functions of the body. Of these three, Moving, "physical activities", requires the greatest supply of energy to conduct its chores. Metabolism, on the other hand, burns plenty of calories after the body has been stimulated with intense activity relying on additional calories to fuel this reparation process.
"Thinking" is also an energy burner. Our minds require energy to operate, but those who are experiencing the effects of being overweight cannot merely rely on this activity source for ample caloric elimination. People who are depressed, angry, bitter, and easily agitated, burn a tremendous amount of energy. Most of the time you can see it in a person's face when they're suffering from some sort of mental turmoil; their weightloss manifests itself by shrunken cheeks--among other areas. There are those however, who while imprisoned by these negative psychological thoughts try to combat, and/or alleviate, their negative emotions by gluttoning on pleasureful tasting [junk] foods. So even though they're burning calories while being stressing-out, the amounts of foods they are forcing down their throats simply overloads their systems.
[We need to keep a clear understanding that food is fuel and fuel is energy in the form of calories. So whenever I'm talking about food, fuel, energy, or calories, basically, they all mean the same].
Each of us have a specific rate of metabolism which converts food into energy for activity, the operational functions of life, and the repairing of damaged tissue. This conversion/reparation process is always operating whether we're active or sedentary. The goal then of the athlete and fitness enthusiast is to periodically expend the effort to exercise then allocate ample time to recuperate. This cyclic process allows us to burn more calories both during exercise and metabolic periods. So those who believe the fat-burning, strength-building, health-promoting benefits of fitness are confined to the actual times they are exercising are in for a big surprise! The benefits of exercise extend well beyond cooldowns as metabolism takes the baton and runs its operation of repair that is fueled by calories. In other words, we can lose fat while we're doing nothing at all; that's sensational!

The U.S. 2000/01 rice crop is estimated at 190.9 million cwt, down slightly from last month and a decrease of 15 million cwt from the 1999/2000 record.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) revised 2000/01 rice area, yield, and production in the Rice Stocks report released on March 30. NASS estimates 2000/01 planted area at 3.06 million acres, down slightly from last month, and down 13 percent from 1999/2000. Revisions were made by type of rice with planted area of long-grain rice lowered 46,000 acres and area in combined medium- and short-grain production increased 41,000 acres. Long-grain production is estimated at 128.8 million cwt, down 2.7 million cwt from last month while combined medium- and short-grain production is estimated at 62.1 million cwt, an increase of 2.5 million cwt from last month.
Imports are raised slightly based on the pace of imports during the first half of the marketing year reported by the Bureau of the Census.
On the use side, domestic and residual use is lowered 1.7 million cwt because of an upward adjustment in the average milling yield and a downward adjustment in seed use. The average milling yield is revised upwards to 70.5 percent, compared to 69.5 percent last month and 69.6 percent in 1999/2000. Seed use is lowered slightly based on planting intentions for the 2001/02 crop published in the Prospective Plantings report.
U.S. exports for 2000/01 are projected at 83 million hundredweight, up 2 million hundredweight from last month, but down nearly 6 million cwt from 1999/2000. Rough rice exports are raised 1 million cwt to a record 27 million cwt. The pace of rough rice exports through the first 8 months of the marketing year has been brisk, particularly to Mexico, Central America, and Turkey. In addition, milled grain exports are raised 1 million cwt to 56 million cwt. Long-grain and combined medium- and short-grain exports are each increased 1 million cwt to 64 million cwt and 19 million cwt, respectively.
All-rice ending stocks are projected at 24.3 million cwt, down slightly from last month. Ending stocks of long-grain rice are projected at 11 million cwt, down nearly 2 million from last month and a decrease of 4.6 million cwt from 1999/2000.
Combined medium-and short-grain stocks are projected at 11.9 million cwt, an increase of 1.6 million cwt from last month and up 1.5 million from 1999/2000.
The season-average price range for 2000/01 is narrowed $0.05 per cwt on each end to $5.65 to $5.75 per cwt.
Global production, imports, and ending stocks for 2000/01 are raised from a month ago, while consumption is nearly unchanged.
The increase in global production is due primarily to increases in crops in Colombia, Pakistan, and Thailand, partially offset by reductions in Brazil and Indonesia. Indonesia's imports in 2000/01 are raised 500,000 tons to 1.8 million tons.
Global ending stocks for 2000/01 are raised 0.9 million tons, based largely on increases in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Peru, the
Philippines, and Indonesia.

California 6.35 6.06 6.13
Louisiana 6.62 6.13 6.13
Mississippi 6.54 6.09 6.13
Missouri 6.62 6.09 6.13
Texas 6.94 5.91 6.13
National Avg. 6.67 6.09 6.13
For rice stored in commercial warehouses, the whole kernel milled rice loan rates for the 2001 crop are $10.69 per cwt for long grain and $9.69 for medium/short grain. The broken kernel rate for all rice classes is $5.35 per cwt.
The loan rate discounts for grades (per cwt of rough rice) lower than grade #2 are unchanged from those applicable to the 2000 crop of rice. The discounts are $0.30 for grade #3, $0.60 for grade #4, $1.00 for grade #5, $2.00 for grade #6, and $5.50 for sample grade.
Discounts for smut content (per cwt of rough rice) are also unchanged at 5 cents for 0.1 to 1.0 percent smut; 10 cents for 1.1 to 2 percent smut; and 15 cents for 2.1 to 3 percent smut. Rice containing more than 3 percent smut is termed "smutty" rice and is eligible for loan as low quality rice. Smutty rice is considered sample grade. Low quality rice is eligible for loan at 20 percent of the discounted loan value.

Hey all,
Good news! Slackware 12.2 has been released.... and by released I mean of course a few weeks ago. I missed it because I've been rarely near my machines for a while other than to check messages and on here once in a while, but this week I've had some time to mess around again so I took that time to look at new stuff going on and saw Slackware 12.2 was out.
I installed it on one of my older machines to do some testing because no admin or fan boy on Earth is going to throw something brand new just released still shiny on any machine that's production and "just Hope it works".
I generally test things MY way, which I'm sure would be voiding warrenties if they were still good on any of my stuff lol.
Anyway, the machine I installed it on today to start testing has these specs:
Old Gateway and Gateway Essentials monitor
433MHz Celeron Processor (Slackware 12.2 runs faster on this than XP does on my 2.13 GHz Athlon but you know ).
192 MBs RAM
8 MB video card
So far I'm pleased. I'm not easy to please. Especially with OSs. Probably because I know what I like. What I like is SUSE 8.1 Professional, 8.2 Professional, and so on. I also like Windows XP but hey, we all play our game of choice right? Besides, I've yet to have a crash so I guess that's good after... over 5 years.
I also like Solaris and FreeBSD. And I like Slackware 8 - 12 so far. Maybe I'll give a review once I'm done with my bashing (Read; "Testing") and have it installed on something that can at least stand up to my Cell Phone.
Anyway, it seems snappy on responce, and it comes with some new tools apparently. I haven't had a chance to screw with it yet but I just finished booting up the machine and making some new user accounts for myself to mess with.
I would have earlier but between the ....7 power outtages from the wind today give or take a few, and the shopping that had to be done, I couldn't.
Anyway, you can read more here:
Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release
again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.2!
Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and
fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware
12.2 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.1) and is
a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.
This Slackware edition combines Slackware's legendary simplicity (and
close tracking of original sources), stability, and security with some
of the latest advances in Linux technology. Expect no less than the best
Slackware yet.
Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll find
two of the most advanced desktop environments available today: Xfce 4.4.3,
a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy to use desktop
environment, and KDE 3.5.10, the final 3.x version of the award-winning K
Desktop Environment. Properly set up, Slackware's desktop is suitable for
any level of Linux experience.
Slackware uses the 184.108.40.206 kernel bringing you advanced performance
features such as journaling filesystems, SCSI and ATA RAID volume support,
SATA support, Software RAID, LVM (the Logical Volume Manager), and
encrypted filesystems. Kernel support for X DRI (the Direct Rendering
Interface) brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3D graphics to Linux.
There are two kinds of kernels in Slackware -- the huge kernels, which
contain support for just about every driver in the Linux kernel. These are
primarily intended to be used for installation, but there's no real reason
that you couldn't continue to run them after you have installed. The
other type of kernel is the generic kernel, in which nearly every driver
is built as a module. To use a generic kernel you'll need to build an
initrd to load your filesystem module and possibly your drive controller
or other drivers needed at boot time, configure LILO to load the initrd at
boot, and reinstall LILO. See the docs in /boot after installing for more
information. Slackware's Linux kernels come in both SMP and non-SMP types
now. The SMP kernel supports multiple processors, multi-core CPUs,
HyperThreading, and about every other optimization available. In our own
testing this kernel has proven to be fast, stable, and reliable. We
recommend using the SMP kernel even on single processor machines if it
will run on them.
From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux
distribution for UNIX veterans as well as an easy-to-use system for
beginners. Slackware includes everything you'll need to run a powerful
server or workstation. Each Slackware package follows the setup and
installation instructions from its author(s) as closely as possible,
offering you the most stable and easily expandable setup.
Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 12.2:
- Runs the 126.96.36.199 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
Also included is a kernel patched with Speakup to support speech
synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually impaired
community. The 2.6.x kernel series has matured into a stable
kernel, and provides reliable performance for your desktop or
your production server.
- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.7.
This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with
existing binaries.
- X11 based on the X.Org Foundation's modular X Window System.
There's been much activity in the X development world, and the
improvements in terms of performance and hardware support are
too numerous to mention them all here.
- Installs gcc-4.2.4 as the default C, C++, Objective-C,
Fortran-77/95, and Ada 95 compiler.
- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL,
OpenSSH, OpenVPN, and GnuPG.
- Apache (httpd) 2.2.10 web server with Dynamic Shared Object
support, SSL, and PHP 5.2.8.
- PCMCIA, CardBus, USB, IEE1394 (FireWire) and ACPI support. This
makes Slackware a great operating system for your laptop.
- The udev dynamic device management system for Linux 2.6.x.
This locates and configures most hardware automatically as it
is added (or removed) from the system, and creates the access
nodes in /dev. It also loads the kernel modules required by
sound cards and other hardware at boot time.
- New development tools, including Perl 5.10.0, Python 2.5.2,
Ruby 1.8.7-p72, Subversion 1.5.4, git-126.96.36.199, mercurial-1.0.2,
graphical tools like Qt designer and KDevelop, and much more.
- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it
easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 12.1 to
Slackware 12.2 (see CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT). The slackpkg tool can
also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one,
and keep your Slackware system up to date. In addition, the
slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain
your own packages.
- Web browsers galore! Includes KDE's Konqueror 3.5.10,
SeaMonkey 1.1.13 (this is the replacement for the Mozilla
Suite), and the immensely popular Firefox 3.0.4, as well as
the Thunderbird 22.214.171.124 email and news client with advanced
junk mail filtering.
- The complete K Desktop Environment (KDE) version 3.5.10, including
the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI development
