VALHALLA, N.Y. -- For more than a century, Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, has been vital to the Hudson Valley region. Founded as an army hospital in 1917 to care for the victims of the global influenza epidemic, WMC has been meeting the health needs of the Hudson Valley ever since. As they celebrate 100 Years of Advanced Care in 2017, the hospital is stepping back a century in American history and taking a look at our country's defining moments during its inaugural year.
As the Pittsburgh Penguins and their fans celebrated the team's repeat as Stanley Cup champions this past spring, they were the latest in a long line of American-based teams to spend the summer with Lord Stanley. In fact, no Canadian team has won a Stanley Cup since 1993. However, American hockey dominance is fairly recent.
Although the Stanley Cup is now synonymous with success in the National Hockey League, prior to the league's foundation, the cup was awarded to the winner of a much more loosely organized inter-league competition. Leagues such as the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and National Hockey Association fielded more than a dozen teams, and duked it out to determine the Stanley Cup's winner.
Unlike today, the Stanley Cup's early years were marked by Canadian dominance; teams from Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto took home the trophy year after year. American teams in smaller cities like Portland, Spokane and Seattle were newer, and experienced only marginal success. That changed in 1917.
In the 1917 Stanley Cup, the newly-formed Seattle Metropolitans shocked the defending champions, the Montreal Canadiens, beating them three games to one, becoming the first American team to win the cup. Although the trophy would return to Canada for several seasons afterwards, American teams had proven they were every bit as talented as their Canadian counterparts. Both North American leagues were eventually absorbed into the current NHL, which began operations in 1917, but several of these original teams are still in operation today.
At Westchester Medical Center, doctors and staff have been treating injuries for nearly as long as the Stanley Cup has been in existence. The all-star team of specialists ensures that every patient they see is happy and healthy on and off the field.
Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the WMCHealth Network, is celebrating 100 years of Advancing Care. Here.

Errors on stamps are more frequent than we can imagine. This is always surprising for me as I guess a stamp goes through a big numbers of controls before being issued. But still, from time to time a stamp is issued by a postal administration with an error on it. Sometimes the mistake is in the legend of the stamp, a wrong date, a wrong name or something wrong in the design.
I recently received a stamp that contains a more spectacular mistake: the error is in the spelling of the country itself!
The stamp is part of a set of two picturing commercial jets. It was issued recently by Macedonia. Here is the stamp.
And here is the second stamp of the set which bears the right spelling of the country.
As you can see, on the first stamp, the Cyrillic equivalent for E is missing. The result is something like Macdonia instead of Macedonia.
I think the stamp was withdrawn by the postal administration. I don't know if they re-issued a correct one or not. I check on Ebay and the price for the wrong stamp is not so high so I guess this stamp must not be so scarce.

Ask Earth: E-cycle your e-waste; it will soon be the law
Dear Eartha,
Is it really illegal to put computers and electronics into the landfill?
Kevin, Frisco
Not quite yet, Kevin. But starting July 1 it will be illegal to dump any electronic waste (e-waste) into landfills in the state. The Electronics Recycling Jobs Act prohibits the disposal of residentially generated e-waste in Colorado. Businesses and governments have been legally required to properly recycle their e-waste for quite awhile.
Why was the Electronic Recycling Jobs Act passed? For starters, electronics contain a significant number of toxic materials. Even though modern landfills are lined to protect our natural and water resources, there's always the chance that landfilled materials may leach into local water supplies. Just a few of the nasty elements in electronics are lead, cadmium and beryllium.
Conversely, some incredibly valuable materials that comprise electronics include precious metals, copper and engineered plastics. All of these materials require considerable energy to process and remanufacture. And recycling increases jobs as well. According to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, recycling sustains ten jobs for every one landfill job.
Based on the environmental and economic benefits, recycling electronics seems like a no-brainer, right? Here's the rub: it costs more money to recycle electronics than to simply throw them away. As an avid environmentalist, I could write an entire column preaching about how landfilling e-waste will cost our society significant amounts of money in the future due to pollution and health issues. However, I'll spare you for now and just say that I understand how some residents are frustrated that it costs money to recycle electronics. Let me explain how to recycle electronics locally and why it costs money in Summit County (and in most communities across the country).
We're very fortunate that residents and businesses can recycle e-waste at the Summit County Resource Allocation Park (SCRAP), also known as the landfill. Electronics can be recycled at the SCRAP Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Types of electronics accepted include computers, monitors, printers, DVD players, TV, stereos and more. Costs vary by item and size, but computers (CPUs) and laptops are $8 each. Large TVs may be significantly more depending on screen size. Samsung electronics may be recycled for free, because Samsung pays for the fees for their products to be recycled.
So why does Summit County charge for electronics recycling? The county must pay to ensure that electronics are recycled properly. You can rest assured when you drop off your computer at the SCRAP that your personal data will be erased, and the computer will be properly disassembled in the US of A. All local recycled electronics are picked up by Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), a company that has earned multiple third-party certifications demonstrating environmental stewardship and recycling ethics. All e-waste received by ERI is recycled and traceable. ERI ensures that e-waste does not end up in the hands of other companies, local landfills, and is not illegally exported to other nations.
The next time you need to recycle electronics, simply head to the SCRAP, fork out the few bucks it costs, pat yourself and your County recycler on the back for doing the right thing. As always, feel free to call the High Country Conservation Center at (970) 668-5703 with questions.
Ask Eartha Steward is written by the staff at the High Country Conservation Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to waste reduction and resource conservation. Submit questions to Eartha at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Exactly what I was seekingReview by Jessica WatkinsI needed to replace a college certificate but not a degree. Design was similar to a diploma but the certificate designs were slightly different. Dolan in support told me that they had the actual certificate layout and glad I went with them. The final product was so close to what the university handed out. I am so pleased.

A University's official cost of attendance is a big factor in determining how much aid a student could receive. Every university calculates an official budget that details the average cost for a student to attend the institution for a full academic year. This amount is called the cost of attendance, or the COA. This official figure is important because the university subtracts your Expected Family Contribution, or EFC, from the COA to calculate financial need.
What's Included in the COA
Congress has dictated the general formula for figuring the COA. For just about all students, it usually includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and personal expenses. PSU differentiate costs for state residents vs. nonresidents.
The COA and Living Arrangements
Universities commonly develop multiple undergraduate student COAs, which vary according to student living arrangements (on-campus, off-campus, and at home). The budgets for students living at home with their parents are almost always lower than for students living on campus or off campus in an apartment in the community.
Below is the 2012/2013 academic year's cost of attendance for PSU:
|UG = Undergraduate or Post-baccalaureate
|Res = In-state tuition rate ("resident")
|GR = Graduate (Master's/PhD)
|Nonres = Out of state tuition rate
|Books & supplies
|Room & board*
|Misc. Personal
Tying the COA to Actual Costs
A university's official COA is an important factor in paying for college, but it doesn't tell the whole story. The bottom line is net price—the total out-of-pocket cost that a student actually pays. Net price includes the amount PSU expects a student to contribute to their education (think EFC), any financial need that the university is not able to cover (unmet need), and any financial aid awarded in the form of loans or work-study earnings.
Helping Incoming Students Understand PSU's COA
To help our incoming undergraduate students understand the COA, PSU created a personalized financial aid award guide (see image below). The guide will be mailed to the student's home and admissions counselors will be calling students to walk through their award guide and answer questions. The personalized guide will clearly show the student's COA minus any Gift Aid (scholarships/grants) received which then shows their Annual Net Cost amount. The guide will also provide all the available options to pay for or finance their annual net cost.

Desmopressin acts on the kidneys to
reduce the amount of urine produced at night. Its effects last about 7 to 12
Desmopressin is used in the
treatment of bed-wetting (primary nocturnal enuresis) in children
age 6 and older. Desmopressin may be used for some children when other
treatments have been unsuccessful. It may also be used on a temporary basis,
such as when a child has a special overnight event.
Desmopressin is usually effective
when used for a short period of time, such as during times of emotional
stress or during overnight trips or camping
Children who wet the bed 4 nights a week or more can expect
to have fewer wet nights when they take desmopressin.
with a family history of bed-wetting seem to have more success with
desmopressin than with other treatments.
Most children have fewer
nights with accidental wetting when taking desmopressin. But wetting tends to
start again after they stop taking the medicine. Desmopressin usually does not
cure bed-wetting.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call your doctor if your child has:
Side effects of desmopressin are not
common but may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
A very rare but serious side effect of desmopressin is
severe water retention that causes an imbalance of sodium and water in the body
(called water intoxication, or hyponatremia). Water intoxication can lead to
coma or death. Some signs of water intoxication are drowsiness (lethargy),
vomiting, and nausea. To avoid this serious side effect, children taking
desmopressin should not drink more than
8 fl oz (0.2 L) of liquids
during the 2 to 3 hours just before bedtime.
Do not give
desmopressin to a child who has an illness that could cause a water and/or an
electrolyte imbalance, such as a fever, diarrhea or
vomiting, the flu, or a bad cold. Talk to your doctor to find out when it is
safe to give desmopressin to your child.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

Building a Just and Sustainable World April 2009
What we eat is a big part of our day. From supermarkets to farmers markets—and, if you're fortunate, your own garden—there are many choices to consider.
I eat in a healthy way, but have to admit I don't always know where my food comes from. In this newsletter, we'll ponder the source of your food. It's not about feeling guilty. It's about making informed choices, prioritizing (we all have budgets), and celebrating food.
We are delighted to feature Sustainable Table, whose rich resources on sustainable food and food-related issues offer viable solutions and alternatives for everyday eating.
Chef Tom French, director of the Experience Food Project, has a broad vision of a new school food system that provides students with healthy food, reconnects them with the source of their meals, and builds bridges between the classroom and the kitchen.
Here is Tom's story.
MORE OF YOUR STORIES: Growing Vegetables and Children's Confidence. Chicken Soup for the Soul in the Classroom. Campaigning for Quality Education. Discovering the Beauty of Teenagers.
SEND US your own story to share with our growing network of YES! educators.
Like YES! Magazine, Sustainable Table focuses on solutions. Sustainable Table not only provides information on industrial farming in a user-friendly and accessible way, but presents practical alternatives and tools for switching to good local food.
Sustainable Table is well known for its award-winning animated movie trilogy, The Meatrix. The heroes, Moopheus, Leo, and Chickety introduce your students to the meat industry, and reveal what happens at a dairy farm and a processing facility, where they learn how we feed our Fast Food Nation.
Check out its terrific primer on sustainability, including a sustainable dictionary, a chart comparing sustainable and industrial farming practices, and guides for sustainable shopping and eating.
What could you eat for only $3 a day? What's the difference between freshwater and farm-raised fish? You and your students will take eating awareness to another level with these resources.
Since 2007, elected officials, faith groups, and others have taken the Food Stamp Challenge to begin understanding what it's like for millions of Americans who base their meals on food stamps. Ask your students what kind of choices they would make if they had to survive on $21 worth of food per week—the average food stamp benefit.
More people are eating seafood as they become more health-conscious. Just as we've learned that all carrots are not the same, Seafood Watch will tell you that all fish are not equal. Explore Seafood Watch's education resources and regional guides that recommend seafood to eat and avoid in your area.
Michael Pollan asks us to "eat food, not too much, mostly plants" and lays out a few simple rules to complement this adage. Ask your students to create their own rules for eating that preserve their health and the health of the planet.

Tiger Woods Presses The Flesh At The Masters On Marketing, Motivation
April 5, 2010: Admitting that he "made a lot of mistakes and totally understand why" sponsors would drop him, Tiger Woods took the next step toward rehabilitating relationships with family, friends, fellow golfers and marketing partners during a 30-minute press conference at The Masters in Augusta, Ga.
The session on April 5, moderated by the PGA Tour, included more than 200 members of the press, Woods' largest single media gathering since his accident on Thanksgiving Day. The life-changing incident uncovered a private-now-public life that has included marital infidelities, "lies and deceit" as Woods himself put it and broken alliances with several sponsors.
Woods, who earned in excess of $100 million from endorsements in 2008, has seen that figure cut about in half, with Accenture, AT&T and PepsiCo's Gatorade cutting ties. Concurrently, Nike has remained loyal to the man whose presence was the driving force behind the creation of the Nike Golf division, and vice versa. Woods wore a Nike golf shirt to the press conference, as he has during a practice round on the course earlier in the day when he also wore a Nike hat. The only other visible logo was Woods' personal TW, which appeared on his hat at the press conference and, earlier in the day, on his golf bag.
Woods answered questions ranging from the early morning accident in November to his rehab to his relationships with fans, pro golfers and marketers moving forward.
"Do I understand why they dropped me?" Woods responded to a question about his former sponsors. "Of course. I made a lot of mistakes in my life and I totally understand why they would do that."
Woods said that he and his representatives have been in touch with his sponsors during the five months since his accident. "Hopefully I can prove to the other companies going forward that I am a worthy investment, that I can help their company grow and represent them well."
Woods stated that "I felt like I was representing companies well in the past," but was quick to qualify, "then again, I wasn't doing it the right way because of what I was engaged in."
Woods said that he was nervous when he made his way to a practice round — "I didn't know what to expect" — and that he was surprised by the amount of support he received from fans and other players. Potential good news for the marketers that remained loyal to him: "The encouragement I got, it blew me away," Woods said.
The first two rounds of The Masters will be shown on ESPN April 8-9, which has been running a promo that includes Woods. CBS picks up coverage on April 10-11. Nike is said to be unveiling a spot with Woods in conjunction with The Masters, Woods' first pro golf appearance since winning the Australian Masters in Melbourne in mid-November.
EA Sports has not backed away from its alliance with the beleaguered golfer, in fact unveiling two titles since December, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (due for release in June) and Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online, which gets its official release with marketing support this week. Like Nike, EA's strategy is as much altruistic as financial: The company said that since the launch of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99, the franchise has sold more than 25 million units worldwide.
TV ratings thus far this year without Woods have been down about 50%, according to industry analysts. That tracks in line with a TV ratings decline in 2008 when Woods had knee surgery. Ratings are expected to set new records on ESPN this week, which has devoted its full family of networks to coverage. Should he make the cut, CBS also is expected to garner record ratings over the weekend. Ironically, among the companies that could see a significant bump due to their alliance with The Masters is AT&T; IBM and ExxonMobil also are among the major sponsors of the event.
Woods' other marketing partners include P&G's Gillette, Tag Heuer, Upper Deck, NetJets and TLC Vision.
Woods offered an apology to other pro golfers who have endured questions from the media, related that his wife Elin and family would not be attending The Masters and revealed that he has been working his way back into golf shape over the past months even while attending a rehabilitation clinic "for personal reasons."
Full transcript of Tiger Woods' April 5 press conference is here.

Blessed with more hours of sunshine each year than any other city in Australia, 19 pristine metropolitan beaches, a vibrant wine growing region just 30 minutes from the city, a flourishing wining, dining and cultural scene and an impressive events calendar – there's never been a better time to explore Perth and beyond.
Top 10 uniquely Perth things to do:
1. Visit one of the 19 beautiful metropolitan beaches.
2. Visit Kings Park, the world's largest inner city park.
3. Take a ferry to Rottnest Island.
4. Spend a day exploring the colour and diversity of the port city of Fremantle.
5. Spend the day sampling the amazing produce and wine at WA's oldest wine growing region, the Swan Valley, a 30 minute drive from Perth.
6. Indulge in a cultural feast – visit the art gallery, museum and check out the many live music/theatre options available.
7. Explore the funky inner city precincts of Mount Lawley, Subiaco, Leederville and Claremont for fantastic restaurants, bars and shopping.
8. Visit one of Perth's Indigenous Art Galleries to see some amazing artwork, and do the Indigenous Walking Tour of Kings Park to learn about Australia's fascinating history.
9. For a different perspective, take a scenic helicopter flight over Perth city and the stunning coast.
10. Swim with dolphins at Rockingham, just 45 minutes drive from Perth.
Perth has been voted one of the most liveable cities in the world, which is no surprise given its combination of a vibrant cultural landscape, and an amazing natural environment.
Right now there's a real buzz of excitement around Perth, following the opening of new bars, restaurants, retail outlets, cultural spaces, and major infrastructure projects changing the face of the city. New life has been injected into Perth, and many are calling it Australia's new 'hot' city. And it's not just happening in the central business district (CBD) – the expansion and transformation extends into the inner-city precincts such Northbridge, Mount Lawley, Leederville and Subiaco.
Referred to by some as the 'small bar and dining boom', some of the new, slick kids on the block include; The Print Hall, The Trustee Bar & Bistro, The Heritage, El Publico, Venn, The Aviary, Nobu, Bistro Guillaume, La Cholita, Mechanics Institute and the Cottesloe Beach Club. Jamie's Italian is on the way, and other new additions pop up almost weekly.
Perth has also become a mecca for luxury brands, with labels such as Gucci, Bally, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co and Chanel appearing on stylish King Street in the city. They sit alongside local designers such as Melanie Greensmith (Wheels & Dollbaby) making King Street the ultimate destination for the fashion savvy. 'Pop up' stores are a regular concept around the city, and visitors will find boutique and interesting retail options within one40william; The Quarter; enex100; and along the revitalised William Street, Northbridge.
Within walking distance from the CBD sits one of the world's largest inner city parks, Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants or cafes, or pack a picnic and enjoy the breath-taking views over the city skyline and the sparkling Swan River. Take a walking tour with an Indigenous guide, check out local artwork at Aspects, walk across the Federation Walkway, marvel at the 750-year old boab tree and Kimberley Garden, and in the summer season watch a movie under the stars at the outdoor cinema.
To really live the Perth life, a visit to one of the beautiful beaches is a must – it's an important part of the city's culture. Easily accessible and only 20 minutes from the CBD, you can try your hand at surfing at Scarborough Beach or grab some fish and chips and watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean at iconic Cottesloe Beach. Snorkelling options and rock pools are on offer further north, found around Mettam's Pool.
Food and wine lovers will appreciate the Swan Valley – WA's oldest wine growing region, and only a 30 minute drive from the CBD. Spend the day visiting the many wineries, microbreweries, and other food-based attractions, where you can meet winemakers and sample the fresh and varied local produce. Tours operate, or you can self-drive or cycle – but if you're planning on trying the many wines and beers on offer, then a tour or chauffer option is best.
Fremantle is Perth's vibrant 'port' city, and it's a 'must do' for every visitor. Known for its eclectic, multicultural charm, Fremantle or 'Freo' as it's referred to the locals, is also the best preserved example of a 19th century port streetscape in the world, with its world-famous heritage buildings and a fascinating maritime and convict history. A 20 minute drive from the CBD, or an easy train or bus ride, or boat cruise down the Swan River, Fremantle is steeped with historical attractions such as WA's earliest convict jail, the Roundhouse, Fremantle Prison and WA Maritime Museum. Supporting Freo's rich history is a strong creative streak and a diverse wining and dining scene.
For a fantastic day trip, take a ferry to Rottnest Island, located just 30 minutes from Fremantle. "Rotto" as the locals call it, is home to 63 secluded beaches and 20 bays, making it the perfect location for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. The iconic pub 'Hotel Rottnest' has recently undergone a stylish makeover and there are now some fantastic eco and cultural tours to do on the island.
From Perth, you can travel just a few hours in any direction to experience the extraordinary. From world class wineries in Margaret River, to the underwater wonderland of Ningaloo Reef; from outback characters in Kalgoorlie to epic landscapes in the Kimberley – there's never been a better time to experience the wonders of Western Australia.

I am very new to SSIS and need to work out how to setup a transfer from table A database A to table B database B.
table A contains many more fields than I need in table B, so the process needs SQL so I can specify fields to take. (I cant just lift the table from database A and drop it into database B).
If I were doing it in SQL I would just select field1, field2, field3 from table a and update table b with the results.
Can anyone offer me any pointers on how to do this in SSIS? I have had a good google around but can't find a definitive answer.
Many thanks

Community Colleges Are Helping Mothers Go Back to SchoolMay 16, 2013
"We are a good investment."
That's what LaKeisha Cook has to say about herself and other student moms at Montgomery College, a community college in Maryland. And Cook is right. David Leonhardt of the New York Times recently argued that, when it comes to a long-term solution for the lethargic labor market, "Nothing is likely to matter more than improving educational attainment." And education for women — including women with children — correlates with higher employment rates, which increases job market participation and boosts the economy. What's more, having a college-educated mother also improves educational outcomes for children.
Access to higher education, especially flexible and affordable education, can help mothers attain their educational and economic goals.
Community colleges have led the way in serving working students and student parents. They cost less and offer more flexibility than four-year schools. Cost and flexibility, along with proximity to students' homes, are the main reasons why so many students — almost 40 percent of undergraduates — choose community colleges.
While community colleges are an increasingly critical part of higher education, there is room for improvement. The dropout rate among students at community colleges is disappointing: Almost half of students won't have completed a degree, received a certificate, or transferred within six years of enrolling.
So how do we improve graduation and completion rates for community college students, especially student moms like Cook? AAUW's newest research report recommends increasing the availability of on-campus child care at community colleges. The Institute for Women's Policy Research found that among students who pursue higher education, student parents are more likely than nonparents to drop out — and a disproportionate number of those parents are mothers. Since parents who drop out usually cite caregiving responsibilities and lack of financial resources as their main obstacles, increasing the availability of affordable child care would help keep more student parents in school through graduation.
Community colleges serve more student parents than four-year public or private schools, but less than half (48 percent) of community colleges provide on-campus child care, compared to 57 percent of four-year public schools. Funding for the U.S. Department of Education program Child Care Access Means Parents in School has declined over the last decade, and because federal child care grant amounts are tied to the overall cost of tuition, community colleges receive about half as much federal funding for child care as four-year schools do. Limited federal funding and a funding formula that puts community colleges at a disadvantage contribute to the lack of available child care.
Overall, child care services in the United States often provide substandard care, have limited capacity, and/or are prohibitively expensive. Many voices are calling for improvement. The American Sociological Association has long said that U.S. child care "seriously lags" behind public child care programs in Europe. In 2011, the National Association of Child Care Resources and Referral Agencies found that average child care for an infant for a year ranged from $4,600 to $15,000. This means that for community college students, child care is likely to cost more than a year's tuition. Given the cost and difficulty of finding quality child care, on-campus child care should be seen as a basic student support service for student parents.
"We're trying to do the right thing," Cook said at the research report press briefing last week, "but without child care, we can't get anything done." Community colleges can be a valuable asset to student mothers, but without affordable, accessible child care, those mothers won't be able to take advantage of the opportunities these institutions offer.

Sen. Al Franken to resign amid accusations of sexual misconduct
Sen. Al Franken announced Thursday that he will resign from the Senate amid a growing number of women accusing the Democrat of kissing, groping and touching them without their consent.
Franken, who said some of the allegations were not true and others he "remembered differently," was considered by many to be a "rising star" in the Democratic party that might have run for president in 2020.
"In the coming weeks, I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate," he said on the Senate floor.
"I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party," Franken said in reference to President Donald Trump and Republican Senate hopeful Roy Moore.
It's believed that Democratic Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton will appoint Tina Smith, his lieutenant governor, to hold Franken's seat, Politico reported multiple anonymous sources close to Dayton as saying.
Dayton released an official statement after Franken announced his plan to resign, saying he extends "his deepest regrets to the women" and that his "heart goes out to Al and his family during this difficult time."
The governor added he hasn't decided who he will appoint to take Franken's seat in the Senate.
NEW: MN Gov. Mark Dayton on Sen. Al Franken's resignation announcement: "I have not yet decided on my appointment to fill this upcoming vacancy. I expect to make and announce my decision in the next couple of days." https://t.co/Dg1QIyKXPp pic.twitter.com/0kLQx5mCGf— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) December 7, 2017
Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum tweeted that "today is a sad day" for her state.
Today is a sad day for Minnesota. Senator Al Franken has been more than a colleague — he has been a friend and an ally on the issues that are most important to Minnesota families.— Rep. Betty McCollum (@BettyMcCollum04) December 7, 2017
Leeann Tweeden was the first woman to level accusations of sexual misconduct against the Minnesota Democrat, writing in a blog post that Franken "forcibly kissed me without my consent, grabbed my breasts while I was sleeping and had someone take a photo" of him touching her breasts while she was asleep.
New post (What happened with Leann Tweeden and Al Franken?) has been published on Be In The Know - https://t.co/jvWMltTrK9 pic.twitter.com/8cQfdW3xCk— Beindeno (@Beindenosite) November 22, 2017
After Tweeden, other women have come forward, with one alleging to CNN that Franken grabbed her butt in 2010 during a picture, while another "former elected official in New England" told Jezebel that Franken gave her a "wet, open-mouthed kiss" on her cheek without her consent.
And then on Wednesday, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., all called on Franken to step down after another woman accused Franken of sexual misconduct in an account to Politico.
"I believe it would be better for our country if he sent a clear message that any kind of mistreatment of women in our society isn't acceptable by stepping aside to let someone else serve," Gillibrand said.
The demands came in rapid succession after Franken on Wednesday vehemently denied a new sexual misconduct accusation that came from a former Democratic congressional aide that he tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of his radio show in 2006.
The Minnesota Democrat said in a statement that the allegation, reported by Politico, was "categorically not true."
The woman, who was not identified by name, said Franken pursued her after her boss had left and she was collecting her belongings. She said she ducked to avoid his lips, and that Franken told her: "It's my right as an entertainer."
Franken, in his statement, said the idea he would claim such conduct as a right as an entertainer was "preposterous."
The tide quickly turned against Franken Wednesday morning. Fellow Democrats, who had previously been cautious, at first respected Franken's right to cooperate with an ethics probe. But the steady stream of allegations has female Democrats fed up.
"I'm shocked and appalled by Sen. Franken's behavior," Murray said. "It's clear to me that this has been a deeply harmful, persistent problem and a clear pattern over a long period of time. It's time for him to step aside."
But still, some Democrats have been left wondering: Were we too slow to call out Franken?
Franken was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008 and re-elected in 2014. According to his Senate website, he currently sits on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee; the Judiciary Committee; the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and the Committee on Indian Affairs.
Before going into politics, Franken was a writer, performer and producer on "Saturday Night Live." He won three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy, Variety or Music Series for his work on "SNL" and another for "The Paul Simon Special" in 1978.
His resignation comes after John Conyers, the longest-serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives, retired from his office after multiple aides said he sexually harassed them. Other famous men, including director Harvey Weinstein, actor Kevin Spacey and journalists Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer have all lost their jobs following accusations of sexual misconduct —while Roy Moore, a Republican running for Alabama's open Senate seat, said he will continue to run after multiple women alleged he made unwanted sexual advances towards them while they were teenagers.

European shares ease in Novo Nordisk sell-off
European equities eased today, continuing the previous week's retreat from multi-month peaks and dragged down by a sharp sell off in Novo Nordisk after its key drug suffered a regulatory approval set-back.
The weakness in European equities was fairly broad with all but two sectors in the red. Energy and mining stocks were hit by falling commodity prices while continued political turbulence in Italy and Spain weighed on banks and on their national indexes.
The FTSEurofirst 300 provisionally closed down 0.7pc, at 1,154.03 points, continuing a correction from 2-year highs set at the end of January which analysts said could have further to run in coming sessions.
"At this juncture we are not buying further equities," said James Butterfill, global head of equity strategy at Coutts. "Fundamentally we do like equities but at this juncture, from a technical short-term view ... we are being cautious."
Shares in Novo Nordisk plunged 13px , suffering their worst fall in four years after U.S. regulators requested more tests on its key new insulin drug, potentially delaying the approval by several years and threatening the Danish firm's long-term financial targets.

Following last season's well-received Joan Sutherland exhibition, Royal Opera House Collections present an exhibition focusing on the career of Dame Monica Mason, Director of The Royal Ballet.
The exhibition features a wealth of archive material including photography, costumes, and material lent by Dame Monica herself. BBC News were recently given a preview of the exhibition, which is available to watch online.
Retiring at the end of this season, Dame Monica has enjoyed a stellar career with The Royal Ballet in artistic and administrative capacities over the past 50 years. The South African dancer joined The Royal Ballet in 1958 as the youngest member of the corps de ballet before rising to the rank of Principal, acclaimed for her interpretations of major roles including Odette/Odile in Swan Lake and Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty. She also famously created the demanding role of the Chosen Maiden in Kenneth MacMillan's The Rite of Spring. On retiring from dancing, she joined the Company's administrative staff, becoming Director of The Royal Ballet in 2002.
The exhibition is open until July and is free although tours will be offered on selected Thursdays. Tickets for these tours are priced at £7 (Adults), £6.50 (Senior concessions) or £5 for students/UB40 holders/children. Phone Box Office on +44 (0)20 7304 4000 to book.

For many parents, there's something special about school picture day. They remember getting out of class, combing their hair, lining up with friends for their turn before the camera. Then there was the thrill of the portrait envelope arriving, of wallet photos handed out like tiny trading cards, or delivering prints to grandma to be placed on her mantle.
While that's still the case at many schools, today's kids, surrounded by photo technology, may not be fazed by another click of the camera, says Lisa Van Etta, who recently retired after 17 years as a yearbook adviser at Cypress Falls High School in Houston.
"I just think they are so wrapped up in Facebook and texting and all of that that they just don't really have time to worry about their school picture," she says. "In rural areas, school pictures are still big. When you get in the city, not so much."
Still, school pictures provide a rare professional sitting and, if done well, provide a seamless look at a child's growth and personality over the years.
"Many people are taking thousands and thousands of pictures every year ... They don't realize how much of their memory is in something digital," says Steve Lata, a photographer and territory manager with Missouri-based Inter-State Studio Inc., which takes millions of children's school photos each year.
"The school portrait is one of the only things getting printed and hung on the wall anymore."
A few simple steps by parents can make picture day a success, the pros say.
Above all, help children be comfortable having their portrait taken. They should feel good about their appearance, but not pose.
"The most important thing about a school portrait is having that genuine countenance of the child. We don't want them to be artificial, we want them to be as relaxed as possible," says Kelvin Miller, corporate vice president of Minnesota-based LifeTouch School Photography.
Choose clothing in solid colors or simple patterns, and avoid shirts with slogans. Keep the accessories simple and small. Long sleeves will provide less visual distraction than short or sleeveless tops.
Clothing for portraits doesn't need to be formal. Even a favorite, oft-worn shirt can be perfect on picture day, Miller says. If possible, help your child choose an outfit that pleases both of you.
"Make it kind of a fun activity ... and be willing to compromise," he suggests.
As for grooming, the experts recommend haircuts two weeks before picture day. You'll have a nice-looking trim without that "just cut" look.
Wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure before pictures to avoid bright red cheeks or peeling noses. Trim fingernails, since hands might appear in some portraits.
So what's the biggest mistake parents can make on picture day? Forgetting the date.
Mark it on your calendar, so your child will be wearing appropriate clothes to reminisce over some day.
And don't overhype the occasion either, says Lata.
"I've even seen a lot of parents telling their child to practice their smile," says Lata. "As a photographer, that's one of the last smiles you want."
Encourage your kid to listen to the photographer's directions. Many school-photo photographers will use banter or maybe a high-five to put the child at ease in front of the lens and bright lights.
With digital equipment, they're able to check the photos right away for closed eyes and awkward expressions. That cuts down on the need for retakes.
"We train our photographers to take the photo of the child, to look at the photo and to say in their mind: 'If I were the parent, would I approve?'" Miller says.

A Guest Post By Christina Fusano – Christina is a blogger by profession and has a flare for writing about interior design and home décor. She has been recently working for Primera Interiors that offer their services in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado region.
The word 'interiors' these days has become more or less limited to expensive looking, trendily designed home, office or studio interiors. But what's inside a building is so much more than that. A building is a shell of walls. Its interior is what gives it its purpose. It could be a living space, a prison cell, a place of worship or a library. The world has some beautiful buildings to offer as monuments and landmarks, but it also has some spectacular interiors, that showcase the soul of humanity, here are 6 of the most stunning interiors of the world (in no particular order).
The Trinity College Library
Located at Trinity College, in Dublin, this is the largest library in all of Ireland. Home to the famous Book of Kells, this library exudes an atmosphere of quiet wisdom, and higher learning. The walls of this library have witnessed countless notable scholars burn the midnight oil. A true visual of humanities thirst for knowledge, the library caters to countless tourists each day.
Masjid al Haram
Located in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, this masjid give breathtaking sight of prayer and worship, particularly during hajj season (particular time in the muslim calendar when muslims from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Mecca). Although the internal design is simple, due to the sheer number of pilgrims who visit this holy place, it has an almost ethereal quality.
Sistine Chapel
Located in the Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel is the official residence of the pope. During the patronage of Pope Julius II between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo painted 1,100 m square (12,000 sq ft) of the chapel ceiling. The ceiling is widely believed to be one of Michelangelo's crowning achievement in painting. The chapel is majestic, beautiful and beyond compare. Just looking at the ceiling fills one with awe and wonder.
Neuschwanstein Castle
The Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau, near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. Since it was opened to public in 1886, over sixty million people have visited the castle. Though it was intended that the palace have 200 rooms, only 15 were completed. The two largest halls are the Hall of Singers and the Throne Hall. Composing primarily of medieval architecture, this castle on the hills is every romantics dream.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace, located in the City of Westminster, is the official London residence and principal workplace of the current British monarch. The palace was designed as a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It is an iconic landmark for the British people in times of national rejoicing and crisis. With its plush interior, symbolic rooms like the Throne room and the Green drawing room, Buckingham Palace is wrapped in an air of royal finesse.
Paris Opera House
Built by architect Charles Garnier, between 1857 – 1874, the opera house is located in the 9th arrondissement in the heart of Paris. Flaunting Neo-Baroque style architecture, this interior is the perfect embodiment of art and theatre. Known best for its main staircase, this theatre is a sight not to be missed.

Hello folks!
It's been a while, I know. Fun things at Bungie have been happening over the past couple of years (which I can't talk about so don't ask :) ) so I've been away. Lately I've using the sweet iPad app, Animation Creator HD, to make fun little 2D pencil tests. They're not polished in the least but the app has made it extremely simple for me to make and upload them. Here's the first two videos I've made.
Happy puppy -
This was the first 2D test I did to learn the app.
Laughing -
This one got out of hand pretty quick. Initially it was a laughing test (because I imagine animating a laugh would be tricky) but turned into a personality attempt.
More coming soon!

BOSTON, Mass. - The fourth ranked Cadets of Norwich University earned a 5-1 victory over women's ice hockey Friday evening in the Clark Athletic Center Ice Arena behind the play of netminder Loren Carrier who posted 17 saves to lead her team to the ECAC East conference win.
With the Friday's win, the Cadets continue their march to the programs first-ever undefeated conference record. The victory moved their overall record to 13-3-0 and 9-0-0 in the ECAC East. The Beacons overall record fell to 7-8-3, 3-6-0 in the conference.
For the Cadets they used a two goal first and a three goal second to all but seal the victory Friday evening in the Clark Ice Arena. The Beacons did end Carrier's shutout bid late in the third with Alexandra Karlis (Denver, Colo.) scoring her second goal of the 2013-14 season at the 15:19 mark. The tally came on the power-play as the Beacons went 1-for-5 on man-up opportunities.
Earning a point on Karlis' goal was Samantha Fallon (Pembroke, Mass.) and Kat Armstrong (Boulder, Colo.) with both players each recording their third assists of the year. UMass Boston's offense which had some chances throughout the contest, put on their best showing in the third period. They nearly had their first goal of the game around the seven minute mark when Sarahanne Cavolo (Roxbury, N.H.) missed a solid chance on the far side of the goal.
The Cadets picked-up a pair of power-play goals, both of which came in the second period. They got on the scoreboard at 4:20 of the first period when Meghan Papagno scored her first marker of the season off of a Nicolette Gosselin and Adelle Murphy assist. Kaycie Anderson made it 2-0 before the first intermission on her fourth tally of the campaign.
After the break, Gosselin netted her first goal of the year exactly five minutes in. From there it was Taylor Cross and Haley Gibson who clinched the victory for their squad.
Norwich ended the day 2-for-3 on the power-play and held a 29-18 advantage in shots. The Beacons did outshoot the Cadets in the third 8-7, with sixth shot of the frame coming off of the stick of Karlis.
Defenseman Kelsie MacIsaac (Durham, N.H.) notched the final two Beacons shot on a quickly flurry just as time was getting ready to expire. She first put a laser of a shot off of Carrier's pad. MacIsaac quickly collected the loose puck and fired off another shot which was once again stopped by a diving Carrier.
With the victory Carrier improved her overall record to 5-1-on the season, while Moe Bradley (Swampscott, Mass.) dropped to 4-2-3 following her 24 save performance.
The Beacons return to action tomorrow when they host St. Michael's College at 1 p.m.


text: Just six weeks ago, when she tied the knot with Mike Comrie, Hilary Duff was still a dyed-and-true blonde; but the actress was all smiles yesterday in L.A. as she staked her claim as Hollywood's newest brunette bombshell. Over the past few weeks we've watched the newlywed gradually go darker, even trying an ombré look that rivaled that of Hollywood trend-setters like Drew Barrymore and Lauren Conrad–but we weren't sure if she'd go all the way with the darker look. And while stars like Katherine Heigl have taken the change of the seasons as a chance to lighten up, Hilary has committed to cozying down for fall by shedding her extra sunny look. Do you think Hilary should keep the brunette hair, or do you prefer her as a blonde?

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Trailing by five with only three outs remaining on the scoreboard the Beacons chipped away at the huge deficit and with a two-run double by Anthony Gomes-Sirianni (San Francisco, Calif.) the Beacons earned a 8-7 walk-off victory over Bethel University (Minn.) Thursday afternoon at Terry Park.
Gomes-Sirianni drove in the game tying and winning runs on a first pitch line drive down the left field line with two outs and bases loaded. Bryan Dupre (Chicopee, Mass.) reached home plate first to represent the tying run, while Jamill Moquete (Boston, Mass.) made his way from second base and just as he reached home plate the Beacons bench cleared and rushed Gomes-Sirianni just as he reached second base safely.
Down 7-2 going into the bottom half of the ninth inning, Alex Webb (Gloucester, Mass.) earned an RBI bases loaded walk which plated Gomes-Sirianni to make it a four-run ball game. The Beacons picked-up their fourth run of the afternoon despite grounding into a double play to make it 7-4 with two outs.
From there Daniel Mantoni (Northbridge, Mass.) earned a huge walk to put runners on first and third. Moquete would then drive Anthony Searles (Shelton, Conn.) on an RBI infield single. Still needing two more runs to tie the game at 7-7 and force extra innings, Todd Ezold (Westfield, Mass.) put together one of his best at-bats of the 2014 season to earn a huge walk to load the bases.
That walk would force Bethel to go to their bullpen knowing they needed just one out to earn the victory. However the Beacons were not done with all the momentum in their corner. Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) would battle back-and-forth with the new pitcher to draw the second bases loaded walk of the inning making 7-6.
The ninth inning dramatics came to an end when Gomes-Sirianni turned on the first pitch and crushed it down the left field line scoring both Bryan Dupre (Chicopee, Mass.), who pinch ran for Ezold, and Moquete.
|Anthony Gomes-Sirianni crushed
a game-winning two-run double
in the bottom of the 9th to give
Baseball a 8-7 win over Bethel
Gomes-Sirianni game-winning double represented the junior's second extra base hit of the day as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Mantoni carried the Beacons offense early and finished 2-for-4 with three runs scored. Moquete also had a hot bat as he finished off the win, 2-for-2 with an RBI, run scored, and three walks.
On the hill, Thursday's win went to reliever Steve Roche (Worcester, Mass.) who got the final two outs of the ninth inning, in which he allowed just two hits. Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) started off the day and went six complete and allowed three runs on four hits. The lefty allowed three walks and struck out three in his second start of the year. Will Barrack (Lancaster, Va.) and Matt Dziok (Southampton, Mass.) combined for 2.1 innings respectively and allowed four runs on five hits.
In the early innings UMass Boston struck first in the bottom of the fourth on a sac-fly by LaPaglia to put the Beacons up 1-0. Bethel would then score six straight runs, three in the fifth and three in the eighth to take a 6-1 lead.
UMass got their second run of the afternoon in the bottom of the eighth on a throwing error by the catcher which scored Mantoni. The final Bethel run came in the top of the ninth on an RBI single through the left side. This would ultimately set-up what would be the Beacons biggest comeback of the early season.
For Bethel, Keaton Schut was charged with the loss after allowing the second walk of the inning, which led to the Beacons game-winning double. He managed to earn the two outs in the bottom of the ninth but could not close out the contest. All six runs, which were earned, were charged to Schut who allowed just three hits, while also walking three.
Baseball will close out their 2014 spring trip tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. when they take on the University of Dubuque (Iowa) at Terry Park field number four.

No words can adequately capture my feelings about the devastating accident that has caused such heartache for everyone who truly loved – and continues to love Reeva.
The pain and sadness – especially for Reeva's parents, family and friends consumes me with sorrow.
The loss of Reeva and the complete trauma of that day, I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
– Oscar
Following the tragic event and the enormous global interest in NYTimes, the family of Oscar Pistorius has taken the decision to devote his official website to the latest news about developments as well as messages of support.
The website will provide the opportunity for the media to make enquiries or requests but for understandable legal reasons it may not always be possible to respond or comment.
The Pistorius family and Oscar's management company have been inundated with messages of support and condolences for Oscar and for the family of Reeva Steenkamp from all over the world.
Mr Arnold Pistorius, uncle of Oscar, said on behalf of the family: "We believe that this is an appropriate way to deal with the expressions of support we have received as well as keeping the media informed about any key developments in the case.
"We have every confidence as a family that when the world has heard the full evidence that this will prove to be a terrible and tragic accident which has changed many lives forever. We are praying for everyone touched by this tragedy."

This recipe is a nice appetizer made with trout! Usually, trout is prepared whole and as a main dish, so this change is a creative way to get some trout in your meal. And yet again, it's spicy! "Total Time: 55 min Prep: 45 min Cook: 10 min Yield:10 to 12 pieces Level:Easy Ingredients For the bruschetta: 12 1/4 -inch-thick slices country-style bread, cut in half crosswise 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper 4 trout fillets, skin on 1/2 cup instant flour (such as Wondra) 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers 16 oil-cured black olives, halved and pitted 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley For the chili vinaigrette: 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 large clove garlic, minced 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar 4 tablespoons hot chili oil 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley Directions Make the bruschetta: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the bread slices on baking sheets, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt over the foil. Lay the trout fillets skin-side down on the salt and sprinkle liberally with more salt. Set aside in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the chili vinaigrette: Toast the chili powder in a small skillet over low heat, 1 minute. Let cool. In a small bowl, whisk the chili powder, garlic and vinegar. Whisk in the chili oil, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste and the parsley. Rinse the trout fillets and pat dry. Season the trout with pepper. Fill a shallow dish with the instant flour. Dredge the fillets in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat. When hot, add the fish, skin-side down, and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Turn with an offset spatula and cook on the other side until done, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. To serve, cut the trout into bite-size pieces. Top each toast with a piece of roasted red pepper and a piece of trout. Spoon some of the vinaigrette over the trout. Sprinkle with the olives and parsley. Photograph by David Malosh"

Drummer Tico Torres' emergency appendectomy in Mexico City has forced Bon Jovi to postpone concert dates.
The band postponed Tuesday's show in Mexico City after Torres checked into the American British Cowdary Hospital. Jon Bon Jovi says in a Facebook post the band is staying with Torres until he is released from the hospital.
Bon Jovi apologized to fans who might have been inconvenienced or were traveling to the concerts in Mexico City, Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The band's website says concerts in those cities have been rescheduled for later this month.
Bon Jovi said Torres wanted to play Tuesday's gig after the surgery "but the doctors prevailed." The band is scheduled to return to the road Sept. 20 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

An angry ex wants a piece of Gordon Gekko's next payday.
Michael Douglas' ex-wife Diandra filed in New York demanding a cut of the actor's profits from "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," according to the New York Post. Diandra Douglas' lawyers claim their 2000 divorce agreement gives her a piece of any income generated by projects he did while they were married. While the divorce deal seems to apply to residuals and merchandising, the suit seeks to make it apply to a sequel.
"It's the same character, the same title, just years later," Diandra Douglas' attorney, Nancy Chemtob, told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper.
The movie, directed by Oliver Stone and featuring Douglas in the role he made famous in 1987, opens Sept. 24. It is not known how much Douglas is being paid for the starring role opposite Shia LaBeouf.
Douglas, who is now married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, paid his ex-wife a reported $45 million in their divorce agreement. The deal came after a bitter split, which included accusations Douglas was a sex addict who constantly cheated on his wife of 23 years.
Michael Douglas' lawyer, Marilyn Chinitz, said the suit should be dismissed and Diandra should stop trying to squeeze her famous ex.
"He doesn't want her to be an albatross around his neck forever," Chinitz said.
The former couple were recently reunited in anguish over son Cameron's recent arrest and imprisonment for drugs. In a letter to the judge, Douglas admitted not having been a great father and said Diandra was "a young mother without any parenting skills handed down from her own parents."
Douglas has an estimated net worth of more $200 million, according to IMDB.
