UCLA Hosts Cross-Town Rival USC at Ballona Creek
April 28, 2003
Los Angeles - The UCLA women's rowing team hosts cross-town rival USC in the second annual dual meet between the two teams this Saturday, May 3, in Ballona Creek - Marina del Rey, Calif. Races are scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m.
Saturday's race will decide who will capture all five points awarded to women's rowing for the Lexus Gauntlet Challenge - a season-long competition between UCLA and USC. This unique program awards points for the winner of each Bruin-Trojan head-to-head athletic contest throughout the year. The Lexus Gauntlet trophy will be awarded to the school with the most points at the year's end. UCLA and USC are currently tied 50.0-50.0.
UCLA and USC will each race a Varsity Eight, 2V Eight, Varsity Four and Novice Eight boat. The race winner will be determined by a point system similar to the one used at the Pac-10 Championships. With only two boats in each race, three points will be awarded to the Varsity Eight winner, two to the 2V Eight and one apiece to the winners of the Varsity Fours and Novice Eights.
Each team will also race another Four that will not count toward the final team standings.
Last Year vs. USC
Last season, the UCLA women's rowing team faced the Women of Troy at the USC Boathouse in Wilmington, Calif. (Mar. 30, 2002). Despite an early 2-0 lead with victories in the Novice Eight (1 point) and Varsity Four (1 point) races, the Bruins fell to the Women of Troy in the Varsity Eight (3 points) and 2V Eight (2 points), surrendering the Lexus Gauntlet points from a final score of 5-2.
UCLA Notes
The dual vs. USC is the Bruins' final home meet of the season and the last race before the Pac-10 Championships held on May 18 in Rancho Cordova, Calif.
Last week, the Bruins faced the University of Minnesota in dual-meet rowing action at Lake Phalen in Minneapolis, Minn. The Bruins (6:50.1) fell to the Golden Gophers (6:40.2) in the Varsity Eight race, recording their first dual-meet loss of the season.
The UCLA Novice Eight (7:15.0) continued their undefeated dual-meet record with a 2-second victory over Minnesota (7:17.34) in the Novice Eight race. The Minnesota 2N8 followed in third at 7:46.6.
USC Notes
USC women's rowing head coaches Zenon and Kelly Babraj were former coaches at UCLA. Zenon Babaraj was the men's rowing program director at UCLA from (1986-91). In his five years with the Bruins, he led the men to three straight Pac-10 Championships (1987-89) and earned Pac-10 Coach of the Year accolades each season.
Kelly Babraj, a former Bruin rower, was an assistant coach for UCLA women's rowing in 1986 and the head coach from 1987-91. She led the Bruins to Pac-10 Championships in 1990 and 1991 and earned three straight Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards (1989, 1990 and 1991). Kelly was the last UCLA women's rowing head coach since the program was cut by the athletic department at the end of the 1991 season.
The USC women's varsity eight is currently ranked No. 7 in the US Rowing/Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association poll.
USC last raced on Sunday, Apr. 27, against Stanford at the USC Boathouse in Wilmington, Calif. In the Varsity Eights, The No. 4 Cardinal defeated the No. 7 Women of Troy by 3-seconds. Stanford recorded a winning time of 6:31.2, while USC posted a time of 6:34.2.
Stanford also defeated the Women of Troy in the 2V Eight and Novice Eight races. The only victory for USC was in the Varsity Four competition.

With This Ring
Leo Drake, the "Mad Monk of Monkcrest," is notoriously eccentric and unquestionably reclusive. But he is also a noted antiquities expert, which is why Beatrice Poole has demanded his reluctant assistance.
The freethinking authoress of "horrid novels," Beatrice is searching for the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, a mythic treasure she suspects played a role in her uncle's death. Beatrice finds Leo every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels—and she's convinced he's the only one who can help her. But after only five minutes in her company, Leo is sure he's never met a woman more infuriating…and more likely to rescue him from boredom.
Yet the alliance may well prove to be the biggest mistake of their lives. For a villain lurks in London, waiting for the pair to unearth the Forbidden Rings—knowing that when they do, that day will be their last….

In the glory days of the sports licensed products boom of the late 1980's and early 1990's, nobody ruled the roost like Starter. Everywhere you looked, you would see something with that famous Starter star on it. The Starter satin jacket dominated the sports business like no other product before it. On the field and in popular culture, Starter was king.
This advertisement from 1989 features the Atlanta Hawks' Dominique Wilkins, somewhat clothed in his Atlanta Hawks Starter gear. Dominique was one of the coolest cats in the NBA at the time and this classic ad captures Nique's smooth style. Back in that time, we actually thought those shorts were long!
Unfortunately for Starter, the saying "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" played out. After absolutely dominating the business in a big way for many years, Starter's popularity started to disappear a bit and the company came crashing down. What was once the dominator of the marketplace quickly crumbled and disappeared from the marketplace.
Today you can find Starter gear at lower level retailers, but it is nothing more than the logo that was purchased from the ashes of what was left of the original company. Even though it is no longer the industry giant it used to be, the Starter logo still evokes vivid memories of a great time in the history of the sports products business.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said recently they created a new treatment strategy using lower doses of a toxic tuberculosis drug without losing its efficacy.
Tuberculosis has proved to be resistant against multiple drugs. Current therapies effectively treat the illness, but patients experience serious side effects.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Center for Tuberculosis Research tested their theory that lower doses of the toxic bedaquiline tuberculosis treatment combined with doses of verapamil (typically used for heart conditions) treat tuberculosis just as effectively as the larger doses of the toxic drug.
"Using a mouse model of tuberculosis, we have shown lower doses of bedaquiline together with verapamil have the same antibacterial effect as the higher toxic doses," Johns Hopkins Research Fellow Shashank Gupta said. "A lower dose of bedaquiline will cause no or less severe side effects."
Additionally, the study showed that combining the two drugs may shorten the amount of time patients need to heal from tuberculosis. The new strategy may also decrease the negative side effects from the bedaquiline treatments as well as increase the overall positive outcomes for patients.
Bedaquiline inhibits the enzyme that is essential for tuberculosis replication. But bedaquiline also causes serious side effects in patients' livers and hearts.
The study showed that reducing the bedaquiline dosage does not change its efficacy while potentially decreasing its harmful side effects. The verapamil medication enhanced the efficacy of the bedaquiline.
The researchers plan to use this information to begin human trials.
The findings will be officially published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in January 2014.

We just returned from a weekend at the 1824 House and we loved everything about it. The Inn Keepers are so gracious and generous. The inn itself is spotless and beautiful. Our room had a simple elegance that was just perfect. We were treated to mouth-watering breakfasts - maple scones, farm fresh eggs and bacon, and scrumptious pumpkin pancakes. After a day of skiing we were greeted with homemade chocolate chip cookies that we enjoyed relaxing in the living room in front of a roaring fire. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this delightful B&B. The room was cozy and comfortable (with a down comforter fluffed every night!). The whole inn was lovely - well decorated with antiques, very clean, with large common spaces and a guest fridge. It felt like I was staying at a friend's home, who is also an excellent cook and decorator, and even has warm cookies waiting for you when you arrive. Which brings me to Emily, the innkeeper. She is absolutely wonderful - accommodating, friendly, helpful, and INCREDIBLY thoughtful. She's an excellent cook as well, her breakfasts are delicious. The grounds of the inn are really beautiful, too, with great views. There is a terrific barn on the property that Emily uses to host catered events. We really enjoyed our stay here.

We stay at a lot of B&Bs, and never have we felt so comfortable. We spent time in the beautiful living room chatting with the young, funny, and delightful innkeeper. The road noise in the A.M. was the only drawback.

If you're staying in the Mad Valley, you really must stay at the 1824 house. We recently stayed two nights at the 1824 House, and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. The young innkeeper, Emily, welcomed us with fresh baked cookies and a cheerful smile. The room was tastefully appointed (unlike many places, it didn't feel like Grandma's house), quiet, and clean. We at dinner both nights at the on-site restaurant, The Barn Door. If you stay here, you have to eat here (the steak is amazing). Emily's breakfasts were as good as The Barn Door's dinners. She was also very responsive to our dietary restrictions. We couldn't have been more pleased!


text: A friend forwarded this article to me today, and I thought the images would excite a lot people I know. They seem especially relevant with the current resurgence of Victoriana in runway fashion and it's grittier cousin, Steampunk. So bear with us while we get the new fiscal year orders in place, and enjoy these images until we can get back to writing.

"Stacy, is it true when people say "you will ruin your first horse?"-Lindsay H.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. I know from experience that you will make more mistakes with your first horse because you are learning…but that is also true with your first dog and your first child. Does that mean that the horse will be ruined? Not necessarily. Safety should be the primary goal for both horse and owner in all situations. When I think of a horse being 'ruined' I think of a dangerous horse. A horse can learn to be dangerous either on the ground or when being ridden and it is easier for a new horse owner to miss the warning signs. Horses that learn they can bully humans usually don't have a great future. The question might be: Is it hard for a new horse owner to avoid creating a dangerous horse?
Let's go back to the first dog or the first child idea. How do those people handle the 'first time' part? People with similar interests tend to hang out together and they learn from each other. They read books, watch YouTube videos and join clubs. Many people take lessons before becoming first time horse owners and then they continue taking lessons after purchasing their horse. Barns that offer this type of lesson program often build an entire culture that supports the new horse owner. Getting involved with a professional is a great way to prevent major mistakes from going unnoticed.
It is also true that if your first horse is an old pro then it is less likely that you will 'untrain' with your mistakes as quickly as you would with a more impressionable young horse. Older horses with experience may seem more expensive in the beginning but if well trained they should contain valuable information that makes them more solid and often less expensive in the long run.
I know that when I look back at the first ten or so horses I trained, I have no doubt that if I had them again now I could do a much better job. Does that mean they were ruined? No. Did they reach their maximum potential? No. Were they dangerous? No. Can I live with that? Yes.

There were actually two known Muramasa Blades in existence. The first existed during one of Wolverine's adventures in Madripoor[1].
However, this blade was not the same blade presented to Wolverine by Muramasa himself. The first Muramasa Blade, often referred to as the Black Blade, was many centuries old. This original blade was forged by Muramasa using a piece of his own soul and granted a number of superhuman physical attributes to the one who wielded it. Muramasa, who has been stated as being quite mad, also poured his madness into the blade. After wielding the sword for a period of time, the wielder would slowly be overcome by the sword's influence. Wolverine wielded the sword briefly and quickly fell under its influence[2]. Wolverine managed to reassert his will over the sword just as he was about to kill the Silver Samurai and Jessica Drew and threw the sword into a wall. The Silver Samurai pulled the sword from the wall and, apparently, was chosen as its fated master. The Samurai noted that the sword was controlled by a person as equally driven as the sword itself[3]. The fate of the sword is unknown as the Samurai was the last one known to have it in his possession but he was not seen using it again.
The second Muramasa Blade's location was revealed to Wolverine by the Silver Samurai[4]. This sword, currently wielded by Wolverine, was a sword forged specifically for him by Muramasa. On their first meeting in Japan, Wolverine came to Muramasa after his wife Itzu had been murdered, so he could help him to "kill 'em all". Muramasa accepted, and promised to forge him a "mighty blade -...- against which all... even one as great as you... will fall" using a piece of Wolverine's soul. When Logan came to claim the weapon[5], Muramasa gladly gave it to him, telling him to "wield it like an angry god".
Wolverine used it against a S.H.I.V.A. robot, cutting it in half with a single blow. Later research of the remains of the robot showed that it was not cut, but rather "sliced, on the molecular level". The scientist who was doing the research theorized, that the instrument could have been some sort of plasmic form. In a subsequent fight with Captain America[6], the sword was used against Wolverine, leaving a scar on his chest, which oddly didn't heal as usual. After the fight was over, Wolverine gave the sword to Cyclops, explaining it by saying: "This is the only thing in the world that can put me down for good."
When Sabretooth was literally insane, Wolverine took the sword from Cyclops and used it against Creed. After a short fight, and after Creed had killed Feral, Logan decapitated his foe, killing him. [7]
Cyclops and the X-men attempted to stop Wolverine's son, Daken, who was impersonating Wolverine in Norman Osborn's Avengers. Cyclops brought the sword with him, but this was secretly what Daken wanted. Daken obtained the sword for a short time, but Wolverine then retrieved it. Daken, however, was able to make off with a small piece of the broken blade. He sought out the Tinkerer to obtain his help in making use of that piece as a weapon.[citation needed]
Wolverine later took the blade again when Omega Red was hunting him. It came down to a final showdown and Logan stabbed Omega through the heart with the blade. Romulus then appeared and fought Logan. When Romulus was victorious, he threw the Muramasa Blade on the ground, stating he thought Wolverine would need it. After defeating Romulus, Wolverine cut the pieces of the Muramasa Blade out of Daken's arms and buried them and the rest of the sword in a secret location.[citation needed]
The blade was retrieved from a cemetery in Alberta by the Orphans of X, who intended to use it against Logan's family and others with his mutation and abilities.[8] However rather than use the blade itself, the metal was melted down and used to coat bullets, allowing the Orphans to safely engage from a distance. Daken was shot and badly wounded when the Orphans attacked Laura Kinney and her family, and more of these modified bullets were used to execute Old Man Logan, Sabretooth, and Lady Deathstrike.[9]
Properties of the Muramasa Blades
The Black Blade is many centuries old and possesses a variety of mystical properties that it possesses in and of itself and properties that it grants to those who wield it. Muramasa took a portion of his soul and used it in forging the sword. As a result, the blade also contains a portion of Muramasa's evil and madness. The alloy that the sword is made of is unknown and is black in color, but has shown to be virtually indestructible. The sword has withstood multiple blows from Wolverine's Adamantium claws and has struck his Adamantium-laced bones without sustaining any damage. The blade also grants superhuman physical strength and resistance to injury to whoever wields the sword. However, eventually, the madness and evil that Muramasa poured into the blade will eventually overcome the will and original personality of an individual if he or she has it for too long.[citation needed]
The second Muramasa Blade, the one currently in Wolverine's possession, was forged specially for him. Muramasa used a piece of Wolverine's soul in forging this blade, just as he used a piece of his own in forging the Black Blade. This sword is also made of an unknown alloy that was originally bright red in color, but now has the color of a conventional blade. However, much like the Black Blade, this sword is also extremely durable and is capable of cutting almost any substance. The blade has easily cut through the armor of a S.H.I.V.A. (Earth-616). robot on a molecular level and has also "sliced" one of Cyclops' optic beams into several different beams and reflected them in different directions. The sword is also capable of greatly reducing the efficiency of a superhumanly fast healing rate. Wolverine himself has stated that the sword is the only thing on Earth that can truly kill him. For example, during a battle with Captain America, Wolverine was injured with the sword. Though the wound was minor, it remained inflamed and didn't fully heal for a period of several days. Another, more recent example, involves Wolverine using the sword to slice off Sabretooth's right arm and to decapitate him moments later. Sabretooth attempts to hold his severed arm in place so that the tissues will reconnect, as he did after having his right hand sliced off by Wolverine's Adamantium claws in an earlier confrontation. The arm merely falls back to the ground. It is possible that, if given enough time, Sabretooth could have either reattached his arm or grown another one.[citation needed] Bullets made from the blade can apparently penetrate Logan's adamantium skeleton.[9]
During the fight between Daken and the X-Men, it was discovered that the blade could not cut through Armor's psychic shields, which was powered by her ancestors' memories.[citation needed] Another limitation is that cutting around the damaged tissue will allow the victim's healing factor to begin functioning again as normal.[9]
Daken had a broken piece of the blade for a while, from which he had a claw made by the Tinkerer.
In the crossover fighting game Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 the Muramasa Blade makes an appearance in Vergil's ending where he steals the sword from Wolverine in order to gain more power. (It is likely that this is the first Muramasa Blade as the second one does not have any psychological side-effects)

For instance, a consumer may purchase paint from your store that contains chemicals that could make a person ill. Even though you didn't manufacture the products, you might be drawn in on a lawsuit by the plaintiff's attorney for medical plus legal costs.
DE Commercial Auto - If you or your workers use personal vehicles for business operations, consider getting commercial auto insurance. This policy covers property damage, vehicle damage as well as body injury for any person in the car accident. Many DE home stores offer delivery and thus need commercial vehicle insurance.
Business Property - Business property insurance is imperative since accidents or some events could occur with little or no warning. Calamities such as flood, fire, natural disaster or severe weather conditions cause serious damage to your property. When this happens, there is nothing you can do rather than wait until the repairs are complete. However, with the business property insurance, you can get help replacing the merchandise destroyed as well as having assistance make the repairs required. Note that flood is different policy not included on commercial property policies.
Cyber Liability Insurance - This home improvement store insurance Delaware policy will protect you against cyber crimes such as hackers who steal customer financial information, a person paying for goods with stolen debit cards or getting a virus on your site. All of these crimes plus others are covered by the cyber liability insurance.
Workers Compensation - Your employees are putting themselves at risk with the products you sell such as; box cutters, lifting heavy machines or get injured while stocking shelves. Most states require you have workers comp for any non partner or owner employees. This policy will assist in paying for medical costs for your workers if they come across work related injury. For example, if an employee is stocking shelves with the gardening supplies and a tool falls on him or her causing a body injury, DE workers comp pays for all the medical care they need. If they're unable to work, it covers lost wages.
Crime Insurance - Crimes such as vandalism, theft and shoplifting can affect your cost of doing business and income. While you cannot totally prevent them from happening, you can protect your store with the crime insurance coverage. Commercial crime helps manage the loss exposures and replace merchandise or money that was stolen and/or damaged during the event of a crime.

The facility will allow taxpayers to correct past irregularities before the new 'Requirement to Correct' is introduced.
The Government has recently published a new consultation document which proposes a Requirement to Correct (RTC). UK taxpayers with offshore holdings could soon be subject to new legal obligations to correct UK tax irregularities, with significant sanctions if they fail to comply on or before 30 September 2018. Ahead of the new sanctions being introduced, HMRC have also launched a new Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF), to enable taxpayers to correct past irregularities in their tax affairs.
By 30 September 2018 HMRC will be receiving Common Reporting Standard (CRS) data from around 100 countries, which will allow them to identify and pursue those who have not come forward to regularise their affairs.
Any person who is found to have failed to have corrected their affairs will be subject to a new set of sanctions. Under one proposal, this would include penalties in the range of a minimum of 100 percent up to 200 percent, as well as a 10 percent asset based penalty and 'naming and shaming' of those who failed to correct.
It is envisaged that the RTC will encourage taxpayers to review their affairs and take advice as appropriate to assure themselves that their offshore interests are tax compliant and if not to correct this.
HMRC have also announced a new Worldwide Disclosure Facility to enable those who may be affected to come forward to settle their tax affairs, This was launched on 5 September 2016.
The WDF requires the disclosure of UK tax liabilities that relate wholly or partly to an offshore issue and requires:
The WDF provides no immunity from prosecution, and is not the only way to make a disclosure to HMRC.
If you would like to discuss these recent developments and any impact they may have on your tax affairs, then please get in touch with your usual KPMG Private Client contact or the named contacts.

I sit down in a small movie theater in Berkeley as the curtain rises on a production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the National Theatre in London. Through the NTLive program, we are able to watch the production in real time from halfway across the world.
By intermission, I am sold. The production is beautiful and the camera work is more impressive than any I have seen in capturing live theater. I keep thinking, this is going to save us. It's going to build theater audiences in places where world-class theater is unavailable. It's going to make great theater as accessible as a movie.
I had to go see how it was done.
Luckily, the man who runs NTLive, David Sabel, is an old friend of mine from college. David started as a gifted puppeteer, trained at Lecoq, spent a few years as a pastry chef in Paris, and after an MBA at Cambridge, combined his artistic expertise and his business acumen to start NTLive.
Before The National began to broadcast, the Met Opera was the first fine arts company to capture their performances and broadcast them in a smart, vibrant style. Upon seeing some of the early Met Opera broadcasts, Nick Hynter, the Artistic Director at the National, recruited David to do a feasibility study and eventually premiere NTLive with a production of Phedre starring Helen Mirren. They now broadcast their performances in over 500 theaters in 23 countries. This means NTLive has added 1.5 million audience members to The National's reach.
When I called David, he offered me full access to an NTLive broadcast of The Magistrate, starring John Lithgow. Thanks to the travel funds available through my TCG Leadership U grant, I was able to quickly make arrangements to get to London.
Still jetlagged from the ten-hour flight from California, I stepped into a notes session for a camera rehearsal. Around the table, the camera director, assistant director, and camera operators reviewed tape and made adjustments to their scripts. These talented filmmakers are all seasoned staff for live broadcast events. While I had assumed that to broadcast a theater event, a whole new system would have to be invented. But, this team moved from awards ceremonies, to sporting events, to game shows without batting an eye.
I was amazed to see how detailed the camera work was within the script: 1,500 camera moves for the two hour performance. The style choices, with quick cuts between characters, resembled a 1970's sitcom, which worked remarkably well for a farce from the 1880's.
On the night of the live broadcast, I walked through the theater and saw the cameras placed in good house seats. NTLive do not try to hide the cameras. The audiences in attendance might have blocked views, but the National considered them a privileged audience getting the chance to be present for a broadcast.
Outside the theater, a fleet of hired staff in trailers make sure that the performance is broadcast in the highest quality. The sound booth was running like a well-oiled machine: two main sound engineers were on the boards, one of whom was mixing each individual actors voice and one was mixing the overall sound. This, to me, seemed like a key component to the success of the event since the hallmark of a poorly shot theater event is usually its uneven sound.
The business end of NTLive was more straightforward than I had anticipated. After receiving some seed money from a mix of grants and government support, the broadcasts now pay for themselves. There is still some sponsorship, which is used to cover ongoing in-house costs. After some wrangling, the National was able to come to equitable agreements with unions and create a favorable arrangement for royalties for performers.
After this event, I spent a day at the National Theatre Archives, a small inviting library where I watched past NTLive efforts. Danny Boyle's Frankenstein offered a dizzying camera angle from above the stage and a sumptuous visual design caught by long, elegant camera shots. David mentioned that Boyle and his camera director had a closer collaboration than most teams but, that Boyle mostly stuck to the stage and let the camera director do his work.
Half a dozen other broadcasts all did justice to the beautiful and work on the stage as well, across diverse styles and subjects. Rather than replacements for live performance, they felt like the next best thing to being in the audience.
The real surprise of the trip was meeting the staff of the Digital Media department, which houses NTLive. The National recently updated their mission to include the priority, 'creating innovative digital content' – that is how strongly they believe that high quality digital work can expand the reach of the theater.
The Digital Media department dedicates time and resources to researching emerging technology trends in the arts. For example, they curated this exhibit for their lobby, not because it was related to a show but because it was a cutting edge and emotional use of new technologies.
This department also does wonderful work with short form videos, which aim to have a longer shelf life than their stage shows. Many of the videos are intended to be educational but, they don't feel didactic in any way. Some examples are A Design Concept Realized, An Intro to Greek Theatre, and Stage Managing a Multimedia Performance. Like NTLive, these videos are intended to extend and deepen the reach of the theater.
After seeing NTLive in person, I couldn't help but, wonder – why has a similar initiative not been taken up by the American Theater? I recognize that the National has tremendous resources and that theater in the UK, in general, is more culturally embedded than here in the States. But, it seems like an opportunity wasted to not give the American Theater a similar showcase.
Until then, I will keep finding my seat at that little movie theater in Berkeley to watch the curtain rise in London and see what The National has built.
See David Sabel speaking at TEDxBroadway about NTLive here:
Maureen Towey directs live performance events. She works as a creative director for musicians such as Arcade Fire and Ray LaMontagne. She has been recognized as a AOL/PBS MAKER, a Princess Grace fellow, a TCG Leadership U fellow, and a Fulbright scholar in South Africa. She is an ensemble member of Sojourn Theatre where she has directed Throwing Bones and Finding Penelope. Other theater highlights include The Saints Tour (River to River Festival), Three Sisters (Working Theater), Emergence (Foundry Theatre), Swallow What You Steal (ubom, South Africa), Gruesome Playground Injuries, Animals Out of Paper, I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document… (Boise Contemporary Theatre). In 2014, she will be premiering The Islands of Milwaukee with Sojourn and a new work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival.
Leadership U[niversity] prepares professionals from all areas of the theatre for greater leadership responsibilities and long-term careers in the theatre. The program makes awards in two different areas: One-on-One grants of $75,000 plus additional support for early-career leaders and Continuing Ed grants of up to $5,000 for mid-career or veteran professionals. Leadership U[niversity] is supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Do you ever look around, possibly at the political process in our country, and ask yourself "is everyone brain-dead"? Contrary to what one would think when looking at the advances in technology our overall IQ is dropping as the decades go by, not going up! Those alive during the Victorian era actually had higher overall IQ than we do. [i] While that may explain a lot, one still has to ask what the cause could be.
During the last few decades our environmental burden has continued to increase. During the same time new illnesses that are clearly associated with environmental overload, like chemical sensitivity, have appeared. Other illness that are strongly associated with environmental overload, such as ADHD, allergies, asthma, autoimmunity, autism, T2DM, obesity and Parkinsonism have begun to increase dramatically.
The main body systems affected by environmental burden include the immune, neurological, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. Multiple toxicants that we are all commonly exposed to during daily living have been associated with damage to all of these systems.
Cognitive decline has been linked to both prenatal exposure and exposure in daily life. The major prenatal exposure that have been directly associated with neuroinflammation and loss of cognition are:
1. Organophosphate pesticides
2. Phthalates
3. Methylmercury
In utero exposure to organophosphate pesticides, primarily through diet, has been associated with slower motor speed and worse motor coordination, visuospatial performance and visual memory when the children reached the age of 6-8. [This translated to a developmental delay equivalent to 1.5 - 2 years. [ii] Maternal use of personal care products, especially fragrances and nail polish have higher levels of plasticizers in their blood and urine. Those moms have kids with lower IQs by the age of 7! [iii] Moms eating high mercury fish when they are pregnant, and who then have high blood methyl mercury (levels fairly common for frequent fish eaters - nothing that far out of normal) are FOUR TIMES more likely to have a child with an IQ less than 80! Study The sad thing is that many women consume more fish during pregnancy to make a smarter child (because fish oil does that). [iv]
The major "post-natal" or daily life exposures that reduce our cognitive power along with increasing neuroinflammation are primarily:
1. Vehicular exhaust (urban air pollution)
2. Lead
A group of Spanish researchers led by Lillian Calderón-Garcidueñas have done a number of studies in the metropolitan area of Mexico City regarding cognition and air pollution. They have found that children exposed to higher levels of vehicular exhaust (especially PM2.5) have more problems with memory and attentiveness.[v] Children in Mexico City with no other risk factors for cognitive deficits except living in polluted areas exhibited clear cognitive deficiencies and neuroinflammation.[vi] [vii] The same relationship between vehicular exhaust and cognitive function has been found in men whose average age is 71.[viii] Those men with the highest level of traffic exposure had a mental decline that equaled 1.9 years of aging. Women between the ages of 70 – 81 with higher long-term exposure to PM2.5 and PM 2.5-10 exhibited a cognitive decline equivalent to 2 years of aging.[ix]
With indoor and outdoor exposures to vehicular exhaust being the greatest factor in neuroinflammation and cognitive decline, the second greatest factor is lead. Even though the blood lead level is lower in the United States than it has been in decades, lead remains in the environment and is still associated with cognitive decline in children and adults.
It has been shown repeatedly that children's blood lead levels (BLL) below the current CDC level of <5 ug/dl are still capable of reducing children's IQ levels.[x] [xi] [xii] Italian adolescents with BLL's above 1.71 ug/dl lose 1 IQ point for each 0.19 ug/dl increase in BLL , with each doubling of the BLL equated to a 2.4 pt. reduction in IQ.[xiii] Not surprisingly lead-associated decline of cognitive function in children has been shown to persist into adulthood[xiv], giving the current state of municipal water lead contamination the potential for grave consequences amongst future adults in those areas.
Cumulative lead burden in adults, assessed via bone lead fluoroscopic assessment, has been associated with decreased cognition[xv] while BLLs have been shown no association.[xvi] Increasing levels of tibial lead were inversely related to impaired language, processing speed, eye-hand coordination, executive functioning, verbal memory, verbal learning and visual memory.[xvii] As the tibial lead concentration rose, hand-eye coordination diminished. Women in the Nurses' Health Study also showed increased cognitive decline with increasing tibial lead levels.[xviii] Every 1-standard deviation jump in tibial lead was associated with a functional decline equivalent to 0.33 years of aging. Computerized neurobehavioral testing, easily done in a clinical setting, show clear cognitive declines associated with bone lead burden[xix], but shows no correlation with BLLs.[xx] Since bone lead measurement is unavailable to clinicians a lead mobilization test should be done in order to gain information on total body lead burden.

Due by 4 p.m. this Friday, July 31
Up to $750 million in economic development resources available for more than 20 funding programs from 11 state agencies
Empire State Development today reminded potential applicants that the deadline for consolidated funding applications for Round five of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council initiative is 4 p.m. Friday, July 31. Applications to competitive programs that are still in progress after the 4 p.m. deadline will not be accepted - no exceptions.
The CFA was established in 2011 to streamline the application process for state economic development resources. It serves as the single entry point for businesses, municipalities, not-for-profits and the public to access up to $750 million in economic development funding available this year.
Once an applicant submits a CFA, the application is reviewed by the local Regional Council and ranked as part of its strategic planning process. The CFA and guidance materials are available at https://apps.cio.ny.gov/apps/cfa/.
The list of specific resources available in round five, as well as application materials and the 2015 guidebook, are available online at http://regionalcouncils.ny.gov.

The CFA allows an applicant to access multiple funding sources from a number of existing programs through one comprehensive application, significantly simplifying the process for seeking state funding.
Visit https://apps.cio.ny.gov/apps/cfa/ to submit your application.
•Upstate Revitalization Initiative: $1.5 billion
In January of this year, Cuomo announced the Upstate Revitalization Initiative and the partnership between the Regional Economic Development Councils to invest $1.5 billion in upstate New York. The URI is an opportunity for the communities to address the economic challenges of their regions and work together in bringing jobs back. The URI is a separate competition and deadline from the CFA. The URI includes up to $500 million for three selected REDCs to implement over a five-year period. The following regions may submit one revitalization plan by Oct. 5, 2015: Capital Region, Central New York, Finger Lakes, Mid-Hudson, Mohawk Valley, North Country and Southern Tier.
Proposals should be submitted through the CFA by filling out the questions included in the "URI Intent to Propose" section of the CFA. Applicants must register a new application and log into the CFA to answer the questions online at https://apps.cio.ny.gov/apps/cfa. A URI intent to propose is not a substitute for a CFA for an ESD capital grant or other state agency resources.
About the Regional Economic Development Councils
The Regional Economic Development Council initiative is a key component of Cuomo's transformative approach to state investment and economic development. In 2011, Cuomo established 10 Regional Councils to develop long-term strategic plans for economic growth for their regions. The councils are public-private partnerships made up of local experts and stakeholders from business, academia, local government and non-governmental organizations. The Regional Councils have redefined the way New York invests in jobs and economic growth by putting in place a community-based, bottom-up approach and establishing a competitive process for state resources. After four rounds of the REDC process, nearly $3 billion has been awarded to more than 3,100 job-creation and community-development projects consistent with each region's strategic plans, supporting the creation or retention of more than 150,000 jobs. For more information on the Regional Councils, visit www.regionalcouncils.ny.gov.

MNLFI facilitated a consensus workshop for the 40 members of the Dakota County Library Managers/Supervisors group. A presentation focused on ways that library services are changing – both in terms of public expectations and the ways technology opens access and support possibilities. MNLFI facilitators led staff in a conversation based on the question, "How do we build a broader DCL environment that ensures that the people we hire and supervise are prepared for these changes?" Enthusiasm built as staff gathered insight on how to prepare staff for changing library services and expectations.
Positive feedback from participants:
"Thanks so much for facilitating the MN Futures presentation yesterday. You did a great job with all aspects of the program. I heard several positive comments from the group (and they are a tough audience). Your professionalism and skills were very evident."
"I was scared when we first started, but in the end it was one of the best meetings I've been to in a long time"

to raise $300 million in new capital.
In the wake of receiving a cease and desist order from the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC, Sterling's two top executives left the company. Harold Gilkey, Sterling co-founder and chairman, stepped down, as did Heidi Stanley, chair of Sterling Savings Bank, Washington's largest commercial bank.
Sterling Savings was a major lender in the Portland area, particularly to residential developers and builders. Its local borrowers include Renaissance Homes of Lake Oswego, which went bankrupt last year, as well as JLS Custom Homes and Buena Vista Homes.
Sterling sued Buena Vista seeking to recover about $11 million in loans and foreclose on about 50 lots Buena Vista owns in a Happy Valley subdivision.
Several Northwest banks have successfully raised capital in recent weeks, but few if any from the position of weakness that Sterling now finds itself in. The company's stock fell 22 percent Thursday closing at $1.29 a share.
Sterling, with $12.4 billion in assets, has struggled with steep losses, particularly on real estate loans.
In August, the company announced it would defer interest payments on notes and preferred stock, triggering a sell-off of its common shares that dropped the price 20 percent to $2.42. The shares closed Wednesday at $1.66.
In its deal with federal and state regulators, Sterling agreed to develop new plans for maintaining adequate capital, reduce commercial real estate loans, and cut off loans to troubled borrowers, all within 60 days.
The bank also must review loan-loss allowances and submit a plan to reduce reliance on brokered deposits, which command higher interest rates.
Sterling has 120 days to develop a three-year strategic plan to improve profitability and lower risk.
The order signed Oct. 9 also required the board of directors to notify regulators of any change in management.
In a statement by Eisenhart released Wednesday afternoon, the bank said the changes took effect immediately.
"The board is committed to taking the actions necessary to respond to the challenges that face Sterling," Eisenhart said. "The board is bringing in a new generation of management to lead the efforts to strengthen Sterling's capital and liquidity positions."
Gilkey, 70, co-founded Sterling in 1983 and had been its chairman since. He was also corporate CEO and president, director of Sterling Bank, and CEO of Golf Savings Bank, another Sterling holding.
Stanley, 53, joined the bank in 1985. She became its CEO in 2008 and chairwoman earlier this year.
Eisenhart credited both for building a franchise that expanded from one branch in Spokane to 175 in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and California.
The appointments will become permanent when approved by the bank's regulators, the statement said.
Spokane's Sterling Bank must raise $300 million by Dec. 15

I am a historian of modern China, with a particular interest in the Republican period from 1912 to 1949. My current research examines how China's warlord period from 1917 to 1927, often characterized as a time of political and social disorder, laid the groundwork for the political culture of the late twentieth century. My first book, The Rural Modern: Reconstructing the Self and State in Republican China (University of Chicago Press, 2016), explores the way that the prominent strain of 1930s thought on rural modernity and "rural reconstruction" contested the dominant model of urban development. I am also the co-editor of the volume China in 2008: A Year of Great Significance (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009), a book that grew from The China Beat, a group blog I edited from 2007 to 2010. My articles and reviews have appeared in a number of publications, including Journal of Social History, The Times Literary Supplement, Twentieth-Century China, History Compass, Current History, and The Los Angeles Review of Books.

Ah, young love.
Two Connecticut sweethearts left their parents in a panic last weekend when they disappeared in an apparent attempt to elope, police say.
Jose Armando Rojas, a 13-year-old from New Haven, and Erica Lucero, a 12-year-old from East Haven, were reported missing Saturday, WTNH reported. The tween-aged lovers had packed clothes before leaving.
The couple was found safe Monday afternoon, though police are not disclosing where they were found, NBC Connecticut reported.
According to the Daily Mail, however, Officer David Hartman said that the children were not "found," but returned home on their own. Hartman noted that though state police issued a Silver Alert for the children, there was no active search because officials did not believe they were in danger.
"They were kids that packed a bag and left home and then returned," he said.

Diabetes Information
Bluegrass Pharmacy specializes in helping patients who have diabetes live normal, productive lives. Being diagnosed with diabetes may be disturbing and leave you with a myriad of questions about how to stay in control of your health. According to the American Diabetes Association, over 20.8 million Americans have been diagnosed with the disease. If you fall into this category, Bluegrass Pharmacy can help you monitor and maintain healthy blood sugar levels by providing one-on-one consultations. Their goal is to help you monitor the levels of glucose in your blood and use prescribed medications to keep your insulin and glucose levels in balance.
Insulin is produced by the body to convert sugar, starches and other foods into energy. A person who has diabetes reserves sugar in the bloodstream instead of releasing it to cells throughout the body. The cells react by starving for sugar and trying to obtain and horde it. Consequently, the blood maintains a high level of sugar, which stimulates the pancreas to produce an over abundance of insulin for combating the sugar. The problem is that the insulin generated by the pancreas is not enough to keep things under control. Insulin is a hormone, and as discussed on the biomedical hormone replacement section, Bluegrass Pharmacy compounds hormone medications on-site.
All diabetes sufferers are not the same, so Bluegrass Pharmacy works with individual patients and their doctors to establish customized treatment plans. Professional staff members take time to talk to you and your doctor about your unique circumstances. Based on information specific to your situation, Bluegrass pharmacists prepare and distribute your medication in an easy, convenient dosage package available upon request.

Florida Drug Trafficking Statutes
What are Florida's Drug Trafficking Laws?
Despite the common perception and its depiction in the media, drug trafficking charges are not reserved for criminal masterminds, armed drug dealers or career criminals. A person does not even have to sell a drug to find oneself accused of breaking Florida's drug trafficking laws. Trafficking charges in Florida center around the sale or possession of controlled substances where the weight involved exceeds certain statutory limits. The weight limits differ among different controlled substances.
With each drug there are differing levels of penalties according to the weight of the drug. However, every trafficking charge in the State of Florida carries a requirement of a mandatory prison sentence. In addition, they are looking at the possibility of governmental seizure of their homes, vehicles, or cash that law enforcement believes has a connection to the crime.
Recent Case Result
Possession of Marijuana
Attorney Zahra Umansky represented a client charged with possession of cannabis under 20 grams & possession of drug paraphernalia – both carry a potential maximum penalty of 1 year in jail, 1 year probation & $1000 fine. Attorney Umansky was able to negotiate a plea offer for her client that was for a fine and court costs only. Attorney Umansky was able to prevent her client from being convicted on the possession of cannabis charge which carries a two-year driver's license suspension.
Legal Definition of Drug Trafficking in Florida
Drug trafficking is defined as the intentional sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery, possession or transporting a specific amount of a controlled substance. The minimum amount that results in trafficking charges differs with each drug. For example:
- Cannabis: 25 pounds or 300 plants
- Cocaine: 28 grams
- Hydrocodone: 14 grams
- LSD (acid): 1 gram
- MDMA (Ecstasy): 10 grams
- Oxycodone: 7 grams
Possession of these amounts of these drugs are sufficient to give rise to drug trafficking penalties in Florida. Keep in mind, that these amounts are the minimums to justify these charges. As the amounts involved exceed these minimums, the mandatory minimum fines and prison sentences drastically increase. According to Florida Statute Section 893.15, the mandatory minimum consequences for these drug offenses in 2015 are as follows:
Cocaine Trafficking Penalties:
- 28 grams – 200 grams:
- 3 year mandatory minimum sentence; $50,000 fine

Cannabis Trafficking Penalties:
- 25-2,000 pounds or 300 to 2,000 plants:
- 3 year mandatory minimum prison sentence; $25,000 fine
- 2,000 pounds – 10,000 pounds or 2,000 -10,000 plants
- 7 year mandatory minimum prison sentence; $50,000 fine
- 10,000 pounds or more:

Defense Strategies for Drug Trafficking in Florida
Suppression of the Evidence
As a citizen of the United States, you have the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures of your person and property. This means that there are constitutional protections restricting the actions of law enforcement. If law enforcement exceeded their constitutional authority in obtaining evidence against you, it has been obtained illegally and is subject to suppression by the court. In order to challenge the constitutionality of law enforcement's actions, your lawyer must file a motion to suppress the illegally obtained evidence. Without the illegally obtained evidence, the State may be unable to prosecute your case.
Entrapment Defense
Sometimes when conducting sting operations or using confidential informants, the police go too far, and coerce a person to commit a crime they would never have committed without law enforcement "setting them up". This is called entrapment. Proving the police overreached in this way is sometimes a defense strategy that is used. The burden of proving entrapment lies upon the defendant, but if it can be established it can lead to either dismissal or acquittal of your charges.
Youthful Offender
When a person is charged with a sentence that is not punishable by life, and they have not reached the age of 21 at the time of their sentencing, they may qualify for youthful offender sentencing. The youthful offender option is available only once in a person's lifetime. If a defendant qualifies, and the judge agrees to sentence that person as a youthful offender, it allows the judge to avoid the minimum mandatory sentences for trafficking in illegal drugs in Florida. The thing to keep in mind about the youthful offender option is that whether or not to sentence someone as a youthful offender rests in the sole discretion of the judge
Substantial Assistance
The judge is permitted to sentence a defendant without imposing the minimum mandatory prison sentence under the statutes if the defendant is providing substantial assistance to law enforcement. Substantial assistance means working for law enforcement as a "snitch" or an "informer" in order to help the police to arrest others. This is rarely a first option, as most defendants do not want to help the police to arrest their friends or acquaintances. However, in some cases it is the only way to ensure a chance to avoid prison.
If a defendant decides that he is interested in providing substantial assistance to law enforcement, his lawyer will set up a meeting where the client will speak to the police and "proffer" the information he can provide. Law enforcement and the office of the state attorney will then decide whether or not they are interested in working with that individual. If they are interested, the defendant will be presented with a substantial assistance agreement, or contract, for him to sign. The agreement will spell out what is expected of the defendant. Typically, the contract will specify a certain sentence if a defendant assists in a certain amount of arrests or prosecutions, and the more the defendant provides, the less his sentence.
It is absolutely crucial that a defendant is absolutely sure about his willingness and ability to provide substantial assistance before he signs the contract and enters his plea. If he enters the agreement and does not live up to his end of the bargain, he will again be subject to mandatory prison time, and typically the judge will not allow the plea to be withdrawn.
Are You Facing Drug Trafficking Charges? Find Out How We Can Help
When one thinks of drug trafficking, the first thoughts that come to mind include movies like Blow, Miami Vice, Breaking Bad, and Scarface. However, you would be surprised at who comprises most of the clientele. Many individuals who DO NOT make their living dealing drugs get charged and arrested for trafficking, including Housewives, students, tourists, and addicts who happen to carry a decent amount of pills with them.
Some people just want to work out a deal, avoiding the harshest of penalties and want their rights protected from the powerful government entities, such as the State Attorney's office. For example, we represented a woman who went to a pharmacy and fraudulently obtained Oxycodone and Hydrocodone without a valid prescription. She was caught by the police red handed and because the State of Florida measures the weight of the pill, our client was facing mandatory minimum prison sentence when she had no desire at all to sell the drugs but rather obtain them for personal use.
In many of these cases, we were able to convince prosecutors not to seek jail or prison time based upon legal defenses, depositions, negotiation and a number of other tactics. We cannot tell you how many countless others we have helped who innocently were caught up in the stigma and who never intended to deal what they purchased.

Today's students have never known a time when they didn't have access to a rich source of technology tools. All aspects of their lives involves some aspect of digital devices. Facebook, You Tube, cell phones, tablets, portable audio devices, and digital cameras all part of their daily lives. Why can't the classroom integrate those same learning tools that students are connected to in their everyday lives? The most recent National Educational Technology Report includes statements made by students to include the fact they want and expect to learn with technology in the classroom.
Tulsa Public Schools has provided teachers with a wealth of resources to accommodate our students...technology training, individual teacher websites to include wikis and blogs, web connections, and digital devices. What better way to promote student engagement in the classroom? As Marc Prensky appropriately states, engaged Digital Natives become active learners.
