He was tempted to pocket his good fortune and keep still. But he had always a troublesome conscience. He went to a newspaper office and advertised that he had found a sum of money, a large bill.
Once, long after, he said: "I didn't describe it very particularly, and I waited in daily fear that the owner would turn up and take away my fortune. By and by I couldn't stand it any longer. My conscience had gotten all that was coming to it. I felt that I must take that money out of danger."
Another time he said, "I advertised the find and left for the Amazon the same day." All of which we may take with his usual literary discount —the one assigned to him by his mother in childhood. As a matter of fact, he remained for an ample time, and nobody came for the money. What was its origin? Was it swept out of a bank, or caught up by the wind from some counting-room table? Perhaps it materialized out of the unseen. Who knows?
Sam decided on Cincinnati as his base. From there he could go either to New York or New Orleans to catch the Amazon boat. He paid a visit to St. Louis, where his mother made him renew his promise as to drink and cards. Then he was seized with a literary idea, and returned to Keokuk, where he proposed to a thriving weekly paper, the "Saturday Post," to send letters of travel, which might even be made into a book later on. George Reese, owner of the "Post," agreed to pay five dollars each for the letters, which speaks well for his faith in Samuel Clemens's talent, five dollars being good pay for that time and place—more than the letters were worth, judged by present standards. The first was dated Cincinnati, November 14, 1856, and was certainly not promising literature. It was written in the ridiculous dialect which was once thought to be the dress of humor; and while here and there is a comic flash, there is in it little promise of the future Mark Twain. One extract is enough:
"When we got to the depo', I went around to git a look at the iron hoss. Thunderation! It wasn't no more like a hoss than a meetin'- house. If I was goin' to describe the animule, I'd say it looked like—well, it looked like—blamed if I know what it looked like, snorting fire and brimstone out of his nostrils, and puffin' out black smoke all 'round, and pantin', and heavin', and swellin', and chawin' up red-hot coals like they was good. A feller stood in a little house like, feedin' him all the time; but the more he got, the more he wanted and the more he blowed and snorted. After a spell the feller ketched him by the tail, and great Jericho! he set up a yell that split the ground for more'n a mile and a half, and the next minit I felt my legs a-waggin', and found myself at t'other end of the string o' vehickles. I wasn't skeered, but I had three chills and a stroke of palsy in less than five minits, and my face had

Organisations today are concerned with three main issues:
- 'How can I best run my business every day?'
- 'How can I change quickly?
- 'How can I remain agile with my business changes going forward?'
To operate at your best every day, it is imperative that any adjustments in work, resource capacity and peoples' competencies can be handled easily. The business has to be able to adapt its operating model easily. Architects must know how work is done before re-configuring it. Truly understanding business operations strategy, business capabilities, end to end business processes, the information tracing across the business and technology, is essential to make required changes without risk. Business Architects have to be knowledgeable on how all these work together to best serve the day to day stakeholders for whom our value streams are supposed to deliver value.
Quick change means that Business Architects must know about the interactions among business domains so that when the business model is being renewed they can describe what's needed and design with deliberate integrity, reuse and inherent agility in mind. To be clear, 'Agile' software development will not solve this problem due to the immense complexity and risk in issues other than software. Fast software development without an architectural underpinning can easily introduce untraceable change later. A solid business architecture that assures the avoidance of redundancy, maximizes the sharing of capabilities and makes best use of supporting resources is essential. With a sound architectural foundation, business-wide transformation, digitization and continuous optimization can be accomplished and change efforts can progress smoothly.
The ultimate benefit of a good Business Architecture will be in Business Agility. This requires designing the right solutions that provide the greatest return on investment to the business, avoiding duplication of effort and developing capabilities once for multiple uses across the processes of the organization. Without a solid Business Architecture there will certainly be sub-optimization, redundancy and inconsistency across business operations with increasing difficulty to change fast later on. Architects must define the multiple domains of the business and how they interact, so any impact of proposed business changes can be determined rapidly and changes made with the surety they will work immediately. That means that defining and interconnecting strategy, policy, information, processes, capabilities, technical and human resources and other domains is essential. A well-formed Business Architecture can help untangle the confusion and deliver inherently adaptable solutions.
This highly participative workshop will delve into all aspects of Business Architecture from top to bottom and side to side.

New pocket-sized portable recorder from Zoom
However, Zoom's offering affords a few unexpected features, which will, no doubt, be of use to people on-the-move. Instead of a conventional quarter-inch or mini-jack input, as found on some other models, the H4 features two combination XLR/quarter-inch jack inputs with full phantom-powering capabilities, allowing any pair of microphones to be used as an alternative to the on-board set-up.
It also has a four-track recording mode, making it perfect as a scratch pad for recording ideas. On-board effects will make the H4 more attractive to guitarists, and the quarter-inch instrument inputs make it even easier to jam along to recorded tracks.
The final — and possibly the most interesting — thing, is the inclusion of a USB audio interface, meaning you can not only transfer and back-up files to and from your PC or Mac, but use it to record stereo audio directly into a DAW as well. What's more, the H4 comes bundled with Cubase LE, so you can get started right away. There's the price, too — the Zoom H4 is expected to cost just £250 when it hits the shops in November.

Ilia II in the centre of scandal
2013-02-05 22:03
In late January, the Ossetian blogosphere was stirred up by a photo of the Georgian Patriarch with members Moscow Ossetian community Gocha Dzasokhov (former Dzasohashvili), Amirkhan Torchinov and Nugzar Juruli. They visited Ilia II while he was in Moscow. The very fact of the meeting of these people with Georgian Patriarch, who blessed the destruction of the Ossetians and the Abkhazians in 90s, caused unambiguously negative reaction. But the scandal that followed is aimed not only to shame the "traitors".

Yerevan claims there is no real danger, since the country's air defense system is capable of protecting the aircraft from the fire.

Russian-Georgian dialogue: Things have started moving
2013-02-05 20:13
Yesterday in Tbilisi, there was held a conference "Georgia after the 2012 election and the prospects of Russian-Georgian relations". As part of this conference, a group of young Russian experts, political scientists and journalists arrived in Tbilisi. The meeting in the format of dialogue was organized by the International Center on Conflict and Negotiation. Essentially, this meeting was to be an attempt to get closer, a kind of platform for negotiations, where both parties could talk and listen. Many expected from this dialogue some new proposals, or at least a fresh assessment of the old urgent problems. But in reality, opinions of independent experts painfully resembled the position of official Moscow.

Work continues toward securing a "Building Excellent Schools Today" grant, as well as toward addressing program, transportation, maintenance and salary needs for Brush schools.
After the election results were canvassed and declared official just before Thanksgiving, we began meeting with staff to acquire input regarding improvements to our salary schedules. Those meetings will continue once we return from break.
Our five-year master plan has been updated and is comprised of two versions: based upon receipt of a BEST grant, and upon not winning a BEST grant. Both plans provide for the entire scope of our building and maintenance needs. Obviously, obtaining the BEST grant allows for a much brighter picture moving forward.
We have purchased a new bus as a part of a comprehensive plan to update our aging fleet. The new unit should be placed into service sometime in January or early February.
Administration has revived conversation and decision-making processes to restore curriculum review and replacement cycles, programming needs and areas that were cut too deeply in recent years. Recommendations to the Board of Education will be forthcoming as we continue the budget development process for the 2017-18 school year.
We are collaborating with contractors, engineers and architects to refine our scope and projected costs to position ourselves optimally for our BEST grant proposal. Expectations are that we will obtain the highest possible return for our investment and have communicated clearly to all involved that we desire as much involvement from local contractors, engineers and subcontractors as is possible without compromising time frames or overall project goals.
I met Dec. 20 with our regional coordinator for the BEST program to obtain a more complete understanding of the requirements placed upon our district and the specifics of the grant submission and application process. The meeting was fruitful and we are moving toward an initial submission in early February – well ahead of the deadline.
Thank you again for the support and confidence you have entrusted in us. We will continue to update you as developments occur. If you have any questions or concerns, please be quick to contact me so that I can assist in providing you the information you desire.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and will have a blessed 2017!

Not much needs to be said except CONGRATULATIONS to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers! You did it!
The impossible.
Even though it never really left, I think it's for real this time. Pro wrestling and/or Sports Entertainment is slowly becoming popular again. Sure, it will never be close to being as cool as it was in the 80's and late 90's. However, I'm starting to notice something here. Wrestling is slowly becoming hard to avoid.
TNA's contract with SPIKE TV was not renewed but picked up by a new network that while is less known than SPIKE TV, is more accessible, Destination America. Also, there has been a buzz about this new soap opera style wrestling promotion based in LA that airs on the also new El Rey Network, called "Lucha Underground". Then there's the more influential company, causing the most buzz as usual, the WWE.
With the WWE Network being 8 months old, it's possible that former fans have already gone back in time and relived all their favorite moments with their subscriptions, revitalizing their interest in "Sports Entertainment" and becoming hip to the current product. I know that's how some celebrities and public figures like rapper Wale got back into it. He's a HUGE fan again. Furthermore, the amount of time the WWE spends keeping the names of legends and Hall of Famers out there keeps the people who are not excited with the new roster coming back for more. Just this year, we saw an appearance by the now rehabilitated and sober, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and so many more. Even the Ultimate Warrior rekindled his relationship with Vince McMahon and squashed all his beefs before he passed away.
The "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who was blackballed by the WWE for reasons that no one but the McMahon family can explain, factually, is finally being publicly acknowledged again by the company for his greatness and the legacy he left behind as a superstar with a new documentary about his life, which Macho Man fans have been waiting on for over a decade.
The most recent one, of course, is a man whom even after WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon, had refused to step foot in a WWE ring for as long as he lived. On Sunday night at Survivor Series, he made his WWE debut to everyone's astonishment.
Sting! The face of WCW, the franchise! If you were conscious in the 90's, you know who Sting is or at least, what he looks like. If you were under a rock or born too late in the 90's, you definitely heard of him NOW. The news spread like wildfire on social media. There was no way you didn't know about this. The same way it was trending on twitter, wrestling was trending in society. In real life. It certainly was trending in my little town. A little place called Washington Heights in New York City. A place where in the 23 years of my life, I've only seen 3 people wearing wrestling merch, which I spotted only this year. A place where the last wrestling promotional poster we saw around was a Wrestlemania X8 banner on the side of a city bus back in 2002. It's making its rounds again. Wrestling is relevant to people again.
It first hit me when I went to the closest store to my house, this 24 hour Gourmet Deli, with my sister for a quick munchies run. We spent like 10 minutes picking delicious ass snacks, all while overhearing the clerk watch Monday Night RAW loudly on his phone. After we paid, my sister said, "He didn't even look up. He was glued to that phone." to which I replied, "That's it. Wrestling is back."
That was yesterday. Not even 24 hours later, I'm on my way back home from picking up some Whoppers from Burger King (Once again, food brought me to this conclusion). What I saw confirmed to me that wrestling is in fact relevant again is some way, shape, or form. Check this out.
Each parked car on this street either had a wrestler's name or wrestling related terms on it. The whole street!
I got home and my first words to my sister were, "Wrestling is officially back."
In case you didn't know, which you probably didn't, the WWE reached a milestone this week no show has ever reached. The "Longest Running Weekly Episodic TV Show without hiatus", Monday Night RAW aired for the 1,000th time. That's crazy. I mean think about it…for nearly 20 years, wrestling was on TV every single Monday without fail. Who would've thought? Vince McMahon GOTTA be a genius. Somehow he convinced the USA Network (and briefly Spike TV which was TNN at the time) to televise sweaty, half-naked dudes slamming each other & acting like they're beating the crap out of one another. And occasionally bless our TV sets with hot athletic chicks in bikinis and sexy costumes. Not to mention, the great mistakes that come with live programming like funny botches and boob slips. Quite frankly, wrestling in general has lost a shit ton of viewers over the years because people grow up, catch on to the fakeness and just get turned off by it all. But I kid you not, the 3-hour spectacle that was RAW 1000 cancels all of that out. The shit was DOPE, son. Allow me to recap.
The show started with a montage of RAW moments. The happy moments, the sad moments. Beautiful opening. Take a look.
The crowd was amped! Soon after, Vince McMahon was welcomed to the ring. The 1st thing he did was thank the WWE universe. He wasted no time and immediately welcomed D Generation X t0 come out. Triple H and Shawn Michaels got their glow sticks waving and the they proceed to walk out to arguably the greatest wrestling theme ever. The show is fire already. They toy with the crowd for a short moment when Triple H says, "Hold on a sec…Didn't there used to be more of us?" Out comes X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws. ("Road Dogg" Jesse James & "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) in an army jeep with the cannon on it. Just like the good old days. They joke around a bit and get the crowd warmed up for the rest of the show.
Famous catchphrases, a 'Pedigree' and a 'Sweet Chin Music' were delivered.
Moving right along. Good 'Ole J.R., Jim Ross returns for the millionth time but only this time……he had a goatee. LMAO! He looked hilarious. Anyway, he only did commentary during one match. A six-man tag team match: World Champion Sheamus, Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara Vs. Alberto Del Rio, Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler. Sheamus pinned Dolph Ziggler for the win. NEXT!
Charlie Sheen makes an appearance via Skype to share his thoughts on the show so far.
The next segment took place in the Divas' dressing room where the Divas Champ Layla asks AJ if she was sure she wanted to marry Daniel Bryan later on in the show as scheduled. And then…another memorable moment. We got to see "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Rowdy Roddy Piper and….well, umm.
Remember how Mae Young gave birth to hand in segment a few years ago? Yea.
*gasping for air* The WWE is retarded for that.
Next thing I know, Dude Love was on my TV. Not Mankind, not Mick Foley, not Cactus Jack…Dude. Love. He put Mr. Socko to use, showed off his poor dance moves and dipped.
Next, Triple H & DX had a segment backstage with the lovely Trish Stratus. Good to see her back.
Jerry "The King" Lawler introduces Slick as the reverend for Daniel Bryan and AJ's wedding. He was fun to watch. The wedding was dope. Think Triple H & Stephanie McMahon's wedding a few years ago with a flipped script and a twist.
I loved it. Well, I love anything with AJ in it. Wit her cute ass…
Let's just say it was Daniel Bryan's worst nightmare.
It only got worse when The Rock walked down that ramp and hit that sumbitch with a Rock Bottom. Oh yeah. The People's Champ, The Great One, The Brahma Bull, The jabroni beatin', pie eatin', trail blazin', eyebrow raisin', heart stoppin', elbow droppin', "Most Electrifying Man In All Of Entertainment".
After a quick commercial break, the dopeness just kept coming. "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be", Bret "The Hitman" Hart comes out to introduce the next match. Christian defends his title against The Miz. The Miz becomes the new Intercontinental Champion. Nothing special, unless you're a Miz fan who for 1 or 2 years watched him struggle to become relevant despise his main event victory against John Cena at Wrestlemania 27, retaining his WWE Championship belt. (Honorable Dope Mention: The Miz came out to "Hate Me Now" by Nas Ft. Puff Daddy in that match. Dopeness.)
Triple H came back out, by himself this time. He challenged Brock Lesnar to fight at Summerslam a while back and never got a response. Paul Heyman comes out and turns down the challenge and insults Triple H's kids in the process.
Stephanie McMahon had enough. She went OFF on Heyman.
The boss' daughter got what she wanted, as she always does. Paul Heyman cracked. Brock Lesnar will be fighting Triple H @ Summerslam.
Brock Lesnar comes out and all hell broke loose. He ended up getting fucked up though.
HHH wasn't playing that shit.
Next, WWE Superstars speak on the turning point for the company, the Stone Cold/Vince McMahon feud.
Santino and Hornswoggle come out afterwards to give out wrestling plush dolls. I didn't know "Brawler Buddies" were back but it reminded me that I had one as a kid. They were called "Bashin' Brawlers" back then. I remember I had this one:
Wow. This whole show had been a dope ass road trip down memory lane so far.
But it was far from over. Howard Finkle came out to introduce Heath Slater. This guy had been getting beat up by legends for the past 2 months. Names like Cyndi Lauper, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Vader, Psycho Sid, Diamond Dallas Page, Bob Backlund, Animal from The Road Warriors and Rikishi. Oh yea, and Doink The Clown. But Doink got beat up. This time, Heath Slater challenged anybody to walk down that ramp and…surprise!, surprise!. LITA popped out!
And she brought the APA with her! Bradashaw hit Heath Slater with a mean Clothesline From Hell. Mean enough to make Ron Simmons say "DAMN!"
Fast forward to the next match, Kane walked out. His entrance was interrupted by a bunch of loser ass no name wrestlers and they wanted his fade. Kane was about to get jumped…and then, a gong. The loudest crowd pop of the night! The lights go out and out comes the Dead Man.
The Undertaker shows up to have his brother's back. The Brothers Of Destruction finally reunite and they start choke slamming & tombstone-ing everything in unison. It's about damn time!
SON! All the former wrestling fans rejoice!
Last but not least, John Cena Vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship. John Cena won Money In The Bank this year but instead of cashing it in on an already battered opponent, he decided to set up a match. I don't think Cena will ever not be a babyface wrestler. smh.
The match was pay-per view status. Good match. The referee was accidently pushed out of the ring and Big Show took advantage. He came out and knocked Cena out with his big ass fist. CM Punk was conflicted, he didn't want to pin Cena because he knew it wasn't right. But eventually, he came to his senses and realized his title was on the line. He dragged the ref in the ring and pinned Cena. Cena kicked out. He locked the STFU on Punk, when Big Show's dumbass came and hit Cena. Match Over. Punk retains his title and Cena becomes the 1st wrestler to ever cash in the Money In The Bank briefcase and lose. Big Show continued to cave Cena's chest in. CM Punk hesitated to help get him off of Cena, but The Rock didn't. The Rock came flying down the ramp. He went on to 'Layeth The Smacketh Down'. Gave big ass Big Show a spinebuster and went right into The People's Elbow. CM Punk came in the ring and clothesline'd The Rock before he dropped the elbow. The crowd showed mixed emotions. CM Punk hits Rock with a Go To Sleep.
The crowd boos Punk and just like that…he turned heel. He became a bad guy in 30 seconds.
Now what?
Only those who continue to watch RAW will get an answer to that. As for everybody else, I'm sure this episode was one of the best to watch since you've stopped watching 10+ years ago. It was enough to assure that there will never be a better all-around wrestling event quite like this one. If you still want to see this dopeness for yourselves,the re-run will air tonight on Mun2.
That's enough wrestling talk. Rick Ross' album just leaked, so i'm gonna go see what that's about.
Peace out! *triple jumps into pool of mermaids*

Finding places to put juvenile offenders is become more and more difficult in the area.
With an increasing number of young people committing crime, more placement sites are needed for juvenile offenders, said South Central Kansas Community Corrections Director David Wiley at the Pratt County Commission meeting Monday afternoon.
Just one juvenile site is in the area at Hutchinson and placement sites are few and far between in Barber, Harper, Kingman and Pratt Counties. It is a problem that needs some attention.
In western Kansas, there is no place to go with juvenile offenders so more sites are needed over a wide area.
"They are few and far between," Wiley said.
The future of Community Service in Pratt County could become a little clearer at the next Commission meetings. Wiley said a meeting with Pratt County Attorney Ken Van Blaricum and others is scheduled for Friday to discuss the operations and future of community service and how the operation would be run now that coordinator Peggy Lee has resigned.
Drugs continue to be a prevalent issue in Pratt County. Wiley said 95 percent of drug cases that go through SCKCC are filed in Pratt.
But all the small towns on the southern border of Kansas are seeing an increase in drug use because the drug laws in Kansas are much weaker than in Oklahoma.
At the landfill, Wes Hemphill is floating between the landfill and the recycling center to help cover the gap left with the death of Chad Friston who ran the weight scale at the landfill, said Jason Winkel, Pratt County Landfill and Recycling supervisor.
Winkel said they were having some problems with tickets but they were sending out invoices and they were getting the problem resolved.
A railroad crossing at NE 50th Street will become safer with the installation of automatic crossing arms, lights and bells. The state and railroad have approved the crossing, said Randy Phillippi, County Road supervisor. said
The commissioners approved a road crossing for J&B Oilfield Services who want to install a three-inch poly line. The line will cross some Barry Bortz property, Phillippi said.
The county has finished overlaying an access road on the west side of the Pratt County Fairgrounds. The old road surface had deteriorated to a point where it needed to be resurfaced.
Pratt County Emergency Manager Tim Branscom reminded the Commissioners that BP would resubmit a request to establish a wind farm in Pratt County at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19 at the Pratt Area 4-H Center on the Pratt County Fairgrounds.
He also said the county emergency operations plan had expired in July but that he would work to get a new plan to the Kansas Division of Emergency Management by the end of the year.
The county cannot get Emergency Management Performance Grants without an approved plan. Pratt is one of 42 counties that had an emergency plan expire, Branscom said.
In other action, commissioners approved $25,100 for Steve LaPrad to do the 2015 budget and the 2013 audit.

A true opiate addict claims to "feel normal" the first time he does opiates. David Blankenship, program director for Victory Clinical Services, which operates an addiction recovery center on South Cedar Street in Lansing, calls these people "lifers."
Some of the most popular opiates, both pharmaceutical and illicit, include oxycodone, methadone and heroin. Methadone is used to wean addicts off the other two drugs due to its longer-lasting effects on the body. However, records show that illicit methadone use has jumped significantly in the past few years.
According to a report by the state Department of Community Health, 267 people in Michigan admitted to using methadone illicitly in 2005. In 2009, that number jumped to 661 people. Officials are quick to mention that not all cases of abuse go reported and not all cases of addiction are treated.
How can it be that a drug used to cure addiction can lead to illicit use, further addiction and sometimes death? Local medical professionals point to the ease of obtaining opiate prescriptions for pain and also those drugs' potency.
Blankenship's center is one of the few in Michigan to offer adjunct therapy, which is a combination of medication to fight off physical withdrawals in opiate addicts and mental health therapy. He says all of his patients are opiate addicts. But what is troubling to him is that eight years ago, 70 percent to 90 percent of his patients were intravenous drug abusers, typically heroin. Today, about 40 percent of his patients are heroin users and about 60 percent are addicted to pharmaceuticals.
"Over time, pharmaceutical companies have gotten much better at making drugs," said Blankenship, who was formerly the drug and alcohol liaison with the U.S. Navy in Guantanamo Bay. "Now they (prescription opiates) are at least as pure as street heroin and more consistent."
Due to a nationwide "epidemic" of abuse, state Medicaid laws made it tougher — and more expensive — for physicians to prescribe oxycodone (such as OxyContin) to manage pain. Blankenship said methadone is a cheap and easy replacement for oxycodone. "Problem is, I think they got carried away with it," he said.
At Victory's Kalamazoo, Jackson and Saginaw clinics , Blankenship said he has noticed physicians prescribing methadone for pain — not its original purpose.
"It's for addiction," he said, adding that it is legal to prescribe it for pain but doctors who do so "are not following best practices."
Oxycodone and methadone are both opiates but have very different effects on the body. Oxycodone is time-released and gradually dissipates over 24 hours. It is abused by snorting it or injecting it intravenously, he said. Methadone, on the other hand, has a longer half-life, giving it a lagging effect in the body that can last for days. "People abusing (methadone) don't realize this and keep taking more, thinking it isn't kicking in.
That's where there is usually trouble," he said.
Patricia Wheeler, executive director of the National Council on Alcoholism- Lansing Regional Area office, also has seen a rise in illicit methadone use among patients. Adding to physicians' willingness to prescribe and the heightened potency of those drugs, Wheeler says funding for rehabilitation — or the lack thereof — contributes to further abuse.
"The dollars going into substance abuse treatment and prevention continues to dwindle," she said. "We are not educating people as well as we'd like to."
Wheeler said there is a misperception about the dangers of initially being prescribed drugs like oxycodone and methadone. "Our clients report that methadone is as addictive as heroin," she said.
When taken with other drugs, it sets the stage for complicated physical and mental reactions in a person, unlike any we have seen before. "There are more drugs and prescriptions but less familiarity with their dangers," she said. "We are all trying to do a lot more with more complicated patients and less money."
Wheeler said with less money coming in for rehabilitation services, society pays more at the other end by dealing with criminal activity like drug dealing and drunk driving. And in the end, people are abusing something they know nothing about rather than being predisposed to addiction.
"This is not a behavior issue. It is a medical issue," she said.
The National Council for Alcoholism in Lansing offers two residential outpatient programs at the Glass and Holden houses. A majority of its clients are from Ingham County, but are not given methadone to manage their addiction, as is done at Victory.
Of the 135 drug-related deaths in Ingham County in the past five years, 68 are specifically opiate-related. Twenty-three of those made specific mention of methadone, Dean Sienko, chief medical examiner for Ingham County, said in an e-mail. Due to the complexity of the database, he said his assistant was unable to compare those numbers with the previous five years.
Blankenship said he never expected the nature of his job to change so drastically over the past 10 years. He believes physicians today play a role that facilitates illicit prescription drug use. "I never saw it coming — not to this extent."

WASHINGTON — Fifteen days after winning a special election, former Newark Mayor Cory Booker is poised to become New Jersey's first black senator today when he is sworn in at noon in the Capitol.
Vice President Joe Biden will conduct the ceremony in the Old Senate Chamber.
Emerging from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office a little bit after 11 a.m. today, Sen.-elect Cory Booker looked a bit like a deer caught in the headlights. Accompanied by his mother, Carolyn Booker, and Reid, Booker posed in front of two dozen photographers and TV cameras.
As the cameras clicked, the three stood awkwardly in front of the media. Reid announced no questions would be taken.
Immediately, one reporter asked Booker how he was feeling. Booker did not answer the question, but a moment later he noticed a cameraman with a Giants t-shirt and laughingly said he was brave to wear it considering the season the football team has had.
The photo session lasted about a minute and a half. Then, the three returned to Reid's office to await the noon swearing-in ceremony.
Booker, 44, flew to Washington D.C. Wednesday after formally resigning as mayor of New Jersey's largest city, a position he has held since 2006. City Council President Luis Quintana became acting mayor at midnight last night.
In his resignation letter, Booker said, "While I am leaving one position, I am not leaving Newark. I am proud to be able to now represent Newark and our entire state as a United States senator. My level of dedication, passion and service will not falter as I serve New Jersey."
The newly minted senator is scheduled to meet President Obama at the White House at 3:15 p.m., according to Booker senior advisor Kevin Griffis, and then with the local press in his new office an hour later. A meeting with senate majority leader Harry Reid is also planned.
"I can go through dozens and dozens of issues that would make New Jersey stronger, more economically competitive and safer," Booker told Gwen Ifill on PBS's Newshour after his win. "But we're just not getting it done in Washington right now, so I want to be a part of what I hope will be people coming together to get work done for the people of New Jersey and the nation."
Booker defeated Republican Steve Lonegan on Oct. 16 by 11 percentage points. Gov. Christie called for the special election after Sen. Frank Lautenberg died in June at the age of 89.
There are 15 months remaining on the late Sen. Lautenberg's term. Booker will replace interim U.S. Sen. Jeffrey Chiesa, who was appointed by Christie in June.

After two-plus months of relative bipartisan calm, the political climate in this city has turned appreciably coarser.
Both Democrats and Republicans are acting as if political détente is ending and the good feelings of the fall were less about a "new Washington" than it was a temporary cease fire.
The quick and relatively painless war in Afghanistan and the start of the 2002 congressional campaign have cut short cooperative feelings that dominated this city immediately after Sept. 11, analysts say. Absent any cataclysmic events, Washington is well on its way to returning to normal partisanship.
"We were living in a very artificial setting, and now we are emerging from it," says Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Rothenberg Report, a political newsletter. "What we're seeing is the inevitable reappearance of traditional political lines and traditional political arguments."
In the last week, President Bush and Vice President Cheney took pointed shots at congressional Democrats for holding up work on the economic-stimulus bill. And Democrats questioned the tactics of the Justice Department under Attorney General John Ashcroft.
But the renewed bickering is about more than managing the war's homefront. Last week, Rep. Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, issued an open letter to the vice president asking about "secret contacts" between the Enron Corp. and the energy task force he chaired.
There is now talk that Congress will leave town early for Christmas instead of working to pass legislation.
The return to partisanship as usual in Washington may have arrived abruptly, but it is not exactly unexpected.
As 2001 turns into 2002, Washington's attention naturally turns to midterm elections. And when election politics enter the calculations of the Hill and the White House, legislation naturally slows and bipartisanship breaks down, as neither side wants to give the other too many victories.
This is particularly true going into the 2002 elections, observers say, as the margins in both the House and the Senate are wafer- thin.
"We've already gone through one small election cycle post Sept. 11 and the country handled it well, so things are beginning to gear up," says pollster John Zogby. "You simply can't run a nonpartisan campaign when you're talking about a six-seat difference in the House and one seat in the Senate."
In addition, recent forecasts of a quick economic turnaround, combined with a recovering stock market, may have also taken away from some of the urgency around the stalled stimulus bill.
The quick defeat of the Taliban is also playing into the renewed political jousting.
Only three months ago, with Americans still shaking and recovering from the attack, Hill Democrats and Republicans stood arm in arm on the steps of the Capitol, talking about working together and even singing God Bless America.
But, absent another major crisis, such shows of solidarity seem less necessary now.
"If this was still a question of can we win this war, things might be different," Rothenberg says. "But the war is slowing, moving off the front pages now, and that means people are freer to talk about other issues."
And that means President Bush may face the same situation his father encountered as president.
A quick victory abroad opens up the door to renewed interest in domestic issues just as a recession weighs down American voters.
Democrats are already thinking this way as the midterm election year approaches.
At a recent Monitor breakfast, a group of Democratic strategists released a poll showing Americans were turning to their attention to domestic issues, where, the strategists maintained, Democrats hold an edge.
"He is doing a good job on the war. That doesn't mean that this translates into support of his domestic policies," said James Carville, a strategist for former President Bill Clinton. "He is doing probably worse on economic and domestic issues than I thought."
Marlin Fitzwater, White House Press Secretary during the first Bush administration, says the change in tone is not dissimilar from what he witnessed following the Gulf War.
"What has happened is the Democrats have looked at the poll numbers and decided 'The War is yours. We'll make it ours and we'll argue over everything else.' They need to show the divisions they have with Republicans or they give people no reason to vote for them."
The real test, however, is not just rhetoric but whether the House and Senate begin lining up along party lines for votes, Fitzwater says.
As the legislation begins to pile up in Congress with no one looking to give much that scenario is looking increasingly likely.

I've found a situation where it is difficult to access user notes.
I felt that Georgia 18 was too large, so I reduced the font size to 16 points. At this size, I've found that it's impossible to access the user notes directly for Genesis 1:1. Whenever I tap and hold on the verse reference, Accordance always insists on displaying the search window; apparently because the entire top bar is a search button instead of just the search button area.
IMHO, the best way to solve this is to make only the Search button active for accessing the search feature.
Difficulty selecting verse notes

Editor's note: Chances are, you've noticed a growing number of unicyclists out on the trails. Think your singlespeed is simple? Try one gear AND one wheel. Dave Krack of Butler Wobble sent us this piece with some tips for trying it yourself. His advice: It's not as hard as it looks!
One can be wonderful
About five years ago I removed the "bi" and became a cyclist. Since then I've enjoyed pedaling more than ever. My cycling obsession started more than three decades ago with three wheels. Two wheels followed closely on its tail. Then sometime in my early 30's I figured out that one is a lot of fun. Since then I've persuaded others to give unicycling a go. What I've found is that it's a lot more than circus music and parade fodder.
I've seen "mainstream" articles on unicycling before, but instead of presenting it as a skill most bicyclists could master they tend to emphasize how hard it is or how crazy the riders are. Personal experience and a few charismatic converts have taught me that the potential pool of unicyclists is a lot bigger than you might think.
If it is so hard, how do so many people get hooked? My answers are: 1.) It's fun. 2.) It's challenging, but with practice almost anyone can do it (If you can ride a bike, you can ride a unicycle!) 3.) Relatively speaking, it's reasonably cheap and not very equipment intensive. A good starter unicycle can be purchased for less than $100. Yeah, you can spend well over $1000 on one, but the real sweet spot is in the $300-$700 range for something that can take some serious abuse. We've found most people to be comfortable on a 20-inch wheel at first. 4.) It's a great way to strength the core while avoiding the weight room. And 5.) It's fun.
I've read several articles on teaching people how to ride and I've written a couple of my own step by step tutorials, but experience has taught me to keep instructions in the vein of the rigid singlespeed: simple.
As far as equipment goes, use your head. Helmets are good as are kneepads and/ or shinguards. I personally know one guy who broke a wrist, so some kind of wrist support might be a good idea, but rarely do beginners fall completely to the ground. You can accessorize beyond this if you want, but don't be in a hurry to buy a whole lot of equipment. When learning with us we only insist on a helmet.
As far as a venue to learn at, a fairly long flat surface with a fence or wall to touch is key. A gym is ideal (use plastic pedals to protect the floor), but we've also had great success with tennis and basketball courts. A good friend's shoulder works too, but it can be tough to find someone to commit to the time you'll need to invest.
As far as time goes, I've heard it said it takes about 10 hours on average to learn, but we've had a lot of people riding across the room in 3 hours or less. Mountain bikers, climbers, and skateboarders have had the definitive advantage. It will probably take more than one session to let go of the wall for more than 10 feet at a time. Patience, young grasshopper.
Once you've got the gear, the place, and of course the unicycle, it's time to roll. Set the seat height for a fairly good leg extension – too low impedes progress, and too high is uncomfortable at best. Take a guess based on your bike saddle height. Don't stress over this, you can adjust later if need be.
Now for the big time: get on and ride. It's that simple? Yeah right! Seriously, keep a few things in mind and you'll do fine. 1.) Don't get hurt when you lose control – let the unicycle fall where it may. 2.) You've got your best control when the pedals are parallel to the ground (3 and 9 o'clock). When they're straight up and down it's very difficult to control the unicycle. 3.) Don't rush the process. This should be fun and hopefully addicting!
There are a lot of theories on how to first get on the unicycle. I'm going with keeping it simple. At each step use whichever side is most comfortable – you'll figure it out pretty quickly. Put one hand on the wall or fence (don't death grip it with both.) Start with one pedal all the way down (If you don't do this then you'll probably take the opposite pedal to the shin). Put the seat between your legs. Put the preferred foot on the bottom pedal and step up while putting the other foot on the top pedal. Get the pedals to the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Balance for a bit.
Reread the last couple of paragraphs again. If you've fallen off, you can get on again – it will be easier this time. Now attempt to take a half pedal stroke and finish with the cranks parallel to the floor. From here on out it's a matter of pedaling in ½ strokes and gradually letting go of the wall more and more.
Some last things to keep in mind: relax, sit up, and lean a bit forward. It's much more pleasant to step off the front than fall off the back. Only hold on with one hand. Measure your riding distance if it doesn't dampen your spirits. Take your time and it will come.
Just think – soon you'll have people whistling at you. Most likely it will be circus music, but at least they'll be whistling!

|Multicentre, Randomized, Double-blind, Prospective Investigation on the Effects of Immunoadsorption on Cardiac Function in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of immunoadsorption and subsequent IgG substitution in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy compared to a control group.
|Detailed Description
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by ventricular chamber enlargement and systolic dysfunction with normal LV wall thickness. According to reports heretofore, the incidence of this disorder in industrialized Western countries lies within the order of magnitude of 5 - 8 new illnesses per year for every 100,000 population. The prevalence, accordingly, is approximately 36 patients for every 100,000 population. However, recent data suggest higher actual prevalence of DCM: at present the estimated prevalence of congestive heart failure ranges from 2% to 6%. According to recently published studies (e.g., the MERIT-HF study and the COPERNICUS study), about 30% to 35% of patients with congestive heart failure suffer from non-ischemic myocardial heart disease. DCM was diagnosed, furthermore, in 12% of the patients of the CIBIS II study. Approximately 26% of the patients with reduced left-ventricular systolic function from the CHARM-added study suffered from heart failure due to DCM. Based on these data, assumption is justified that in Germany approximately 500,000 patients suffer from DCM. Despite advances in medical treatment of heart failure, the general prognosis for DCM is poor. In many cases, treatment options are surgical e.g., heart transplantation or implantation of an assist device.
An association between virus myocarditis and DCM has been hypothesized for a subset of patients with DCM. Both experimental and clinical data indicate that viral infection and inflammatory processes are involved in the pathogenesis of myocarditis and DCM, and may represent important factors causing progression of ventricular dysfunction.
Abnormalities of the cellular immune system are present in patients with myocarditis and DCM. For patients with DCM, immunohistological methods have been introduced for diagnosis of myocardial inflammation. Infiltration with lymphocytes and mononuclear cells as well as increased expression of cell adhesion molecules, are frequent phenomena in DCM. These findings support the hypothesis that the immune process is still active. Furthermore, activation of the humoral immune system with production of cardiac antibodies plays an important role in DCM. Several antibodies against cardiac structures have been detected in DCM patients - including antibodies that act against mitochondrial proteins, alpha- and beta-cardiac myosin heavy chain isoforms, the cardiac beta-receptor, the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-2, and the sarcolemmal Na-K-ATPase. The functional significance of cardiac autoantibodies is under debate. It is possible that autoantibodies are formed as a consequence of inflammatory reactions to cellular destruction, in which case they should be regarded as an epiphenomenon. Cardiac autoantibodies, on the other hand, may likewise play an active role in the pathogenesis of DCM by triggering the disease process, or by contributing to development of myocardial contractile dysfunction. For certain antibodies, in-vitro data indicate a negative effect on cardiac performance. In myocarditis and DCM, heart-reactive cytotoxic auto-antibodies to the ADP/ATP carrier were found. These antibodies cross-react with the calcium channel of the cardiomyocytes. Purified antibodies obtained from DCM patients induce a negative inotropic effect in isolated rat cardiomyocytes by decreasing the calcium transients. Immunization of rodents against peptides derived from cardiovascular G-protein receptors induces morphological changes of myocardial tissue resembling DCM. Furthermore, recent data have provided evidence those antibodies against the beat1-receptor itself induce DCM: rats immunized against the second extracellular loop of cardiac beta1-receptors develop progressive left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction. Interestingly, sera transferred from these immunized animals to unsensitized rats induced the similar cardiomyopathic phenotype, thus demonstrating the pathogenic potential of a particular antibody for development of DCM. Further confirmation of the principle that autoantibodies contribute to induction of the disease process and to progression to DCM has been provided in a recent study. The authors showed that mice deficient in the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) immunoinhibitory co-receptor develop autoimmune DCM with production of high-titre circulating IgG autoantibodies reactive to a 33-kilodalton protein expressed specifically on the surface of cardiomyocytes. This antigen was recently identified as cardiac troponin I.
When cardiac antibodies impair cardiac function, their removal would logically be expected to lead to an improvement in the patient's haemodynamic situation. Cardiac antibodies belong to the IgG fraction and can be eliminated by immunoadsorption (IA) therapy. Immunoadsorption has been introduced as a method for treatment of autoimmune processes e.g., Goodpasture's syndrome and lupus erythematodes. This form of therapy has already been successfully applied for treatment of DCM. Several pilot studies have shown that IA improves cardiac function in patients with DCM. The first uncontrolled pilot study disclosed acute beneficial haemodynamic effects of IA in patients with severe heart failure due to DCM. A randomized study followed, to investigate the haemodynamic effects of additional IA therapy for DCM. This study included patients with DCM (NYHA III-IV, LVEF <30%) who were under stable medication. In the IA group, IA was conducted on three consecutive days, with one IA session daily. On the grounds of safety - i.e., to reduce the risk of infection after immunoglobulin depletion - immunoglobulin G was substituted after the last IA session. Immunoadsorption and subsequent IgG substitution (IA/IgG) was repeated for 3 courses at monthly intervals until month 3. In contrast to the control group, patients in the IA/IgG group demonstrated after 3 months a significant increase in cardiac index (CI), paralleled by a similar increase in stroke volume index. A recent study demonstrated that IA/IgG therapy likewise mitigates the inflammatory process in the myocardium of DCM patients. A case-controlled study, performed by others, conducted IA in one course of 5 consecutive days without IgG substitution subsequent to immunoglobulin depletion. This study did not repeat IA during follow-up. In this study, LVEF increased from 22 to 40% one year after IA: a significant gain in contrast to the control group without IA therapy.
Recent data indicate that the beneficial haemodynamic effects of IA are related to removal of negative inotropic cardiac antibodies. Detection of cardio-depressant antibodies in the plasma of DCM patients, before IA, effectively predicts acute and prolonged haemodynamic improvement during IA. A further study clearly disclosed that the cardio depressant antibodies belong to the IG-3 subclass [38]. The removal of antibodies of the IgG-3 subclass accordingly represents an essential mechanism in IA therapy of DCM.
Protein-A and anti-IgG columns are licensed for IA. Anti-IgG sepharose effectively eliminates all IgG subclasses, including IgG-3. Protein A binds to the Fc part of human IgG-1, -2, -4. However, the affinity of protein A to IgG-3 is low. IgG-3 removal can be markedly increased by protein-A, through the use of an optimized treatment regime, by prolonging the IA course to 4 - 5 sessions, and by reducing the loading volume of the protein columns with plasma. In use of this adsorption regime for IgG-3 elimination, protein-A IA induces significant acute and prolonged haemodynamic improvement of DCM patients. Furthermore, IA treatment with protein A adsorption performed in 1 course on 5 consecutive days induces improvement of the left ventricular function of DCM patients over a period of 6 months, with results comparable to those received by IA treatment repeated in 4 courses at monthly intervals. Despite optimized medical treatment, the prognosis of DCM is still poor. For most patients, heart transplantation will represent the only palliative treatment option. Alternative therapeutic strategies for treatment of DCM are consequently of essential interest.
This randomized multicentre study will investigate for the first time by means of a double-blind study design whether a specific causal intervention - i.e., the removal of autoantibodies - will influence the disease process and improve the cardiac function of patients suffering from heart failure due to DCM.

text: Perhaps Forgiven, but Nothing Forgotten - Kone Signs New Deal Despite Everton Efforts 14. September 2016 GMac88 General , Transfers Comments Tweet [[content.stanza]] Lamine Kone finally suspends speculation he is looking to leave Sunderland and signs a five year contract. It's great news, but news that has already been soured somewhat by the ridiculous summer saga surrounding a move to Everton. Don't get me wrong, Kone is a very good player. There is no doubt, particularly with Younes Kaboul's exit, that the Ivorian is our best defender - probably by a reasonable distance too. In footballing terms, it's a fantastic deal in the aftermath of Monday's home humiliation at the hands of the club he was so close to playing for. It does not, however, deter from the fact that Kone severely dampened his relationship with the red and white faithful. He has his contract, he has his pay rise so - forgive my cynicism - I'm sure Kone won't lose sleep over the knowledge that #TeamKone is significantly less influential than it was. It became his brand almost, one which no doubt helped to leverage his bumper contract which he had originally anticipated being signed with the blue side of Merseyside. Fortunately for our defensive options, Sunderland's refreshing hard ball approach worked. Speaking to the official site, David Moyes was clear to underline that he had never insinuated Kone was anywhere but at the forefront of his plans, despite the Ivorian's suggesting during the transfer circus. "Lamine is an important player for this club and I made that clear to him from the outset. Kone has not said anything on the new contract yet. When (or if) he does, I can probably paraphrase quite accurately that he will say something along the lines of he is pleased to have signed the contract and Sunderland's a great club with great fans blah blah blah. Let's hope Kone puts in some fantastic performances to try and repair any damage done to his reputation among Sunderland fans. Then we can expect him to force another transfer next summer and hopefully this new contract means we can get even more coin for his exit. Sunderland have not got much right this summer, but here we have done brilliantly.Are you happy that Kone stayed? Vote below! Are you happy that Kone stayed?

Brussels Sprouts with Tempeh, Baked Potato with Roasted Vidalia Onion, Corn-off-the-Cob (No Added Fat)
I fed my daughter a little earlier, so made dinner tonight just for my Dad, visting for a few weeks, wife, and myself. I thought that I would make a baked potato in my electronic pressure cooker to accompany a vegetable sauté.
- 12 large Brussels sprouts, cut into thirds lengthwise
- 1 baby leek, darkest green portions and very bottom removed, then cut into 3/8" slices
- 1/4 cup plus 2T onion cut into 3/8" cubes
- Jalapeno or other hot pepper to taste - I used about a teaspoon of 1/4" sliced jalapeno
- 3T tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 vegan bouillon cube
- 1T chopped (to 3/8" size or so) ginger
- (optional) 2T chopped (to 1/4" or so cubes) fennel root
- (optional) 2T chopped (to about 1/2" pieces) cilantro
- 1/2 t salt (or to taste) and 1/4t dried oregano
- Saute leek and sprouts in a sauté pan with no added oil or other liquids for about 5m till sprouts start showing some brownness
- Add the 1/4 cup of onion and jalapeno, and sauté for another 2m
- There will likely be a little bit of sticking; add the tomato paste and stir, cleaning the pan
- After a half minute or so once the pan has been cleaned, add the water and bouillon cube and increase heat to bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to simmer and add ginger and fennel
- Cook for about 4m more till the Brussels sprouts are soft
- Add the remaining 2T onion and the cilantro, stir, and turn the heat off
- Mix in the salt and oregano, and serve
Dinner was good! The Brussels sprouts came out well and I think were reasonably seasoned. The potato was probably the softest potato I've had; it was great for my Dad and fine for my wife and me, though I'd prefer a minute or two shorter cook time if not cooking for my Dad. The onions indeed came out soft and mild, like roasted onions. I simply chopped them up and served them on the potato. How could the corn not be good?!
Ideas for the future
I am so happy that I tried this onion experiment. I'd like to use onion in this way in the future, and perhaps combine it with the "nacho cheese" sauce that I described on April 22.
