Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than 30,000 kids, teens, and young adults in the United States have CF.
The CF gene disrupts the essential balance of salt and water needed to maintain a normal thin coating of fluid and mucus inside the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The mucus becomes thick, sticky, and hard to move. Normally, mucus in the lungs traps germs, which are then cleared out of the lungs. But in CF, the thick, sticky mucus and the germs it traps remain in the lungs, which can become infected.
In the pancreas, thick mucus blocks enzymes from reaching the intestines to digest nutrients properly, especially fats. That's why students with CF have problems gaining weight, and have to eat more. There currently is no cure for CF.
CF does not affect cognitive or learning abilities.
Students with CF may:
Students with CF may miss class time or be absent due to breathing therapy at home, lung infections, doctor visits, and hospital stays. Your students with CF need special considerations regarding missed instruction, assignments, and testing.
Being active can help loosen mucus in the lungs. Students with CF should be encouraged to participate in physical exercise, sports, and other school activities.
To help students with CF avoid lung infections, encourage all your students to wash their hands with soap and water or sanitizer after using the bathroom, coughing, sneezing, or playing outside at recess.
Make sure your students with CF know they can:

Banking Union or Financial Repression? Europe Has Not Chosen Yet
European policymakers, particularly on the continent, have long appeared to be in denial over the systemic banking fragility that is central to the region's problems. They have first denied the existence of a homegrown banking problem by shifting all the blame to Anglo-Saxons in 2007–09; then by engaging in timid, less-than-credible stress tests while redirecting the blame at the Greek government and other lousy fiscal managers in the European South. The October 2011 "recapitalization plan" was in effect another episode of denial, for various reasons: It was based on an unreliable capital assessment; and it assumed full fair value on sovereign debt, in violation of any prudential principles. It also relied on overly volatile debt prices, a dubious basis for capital assessments even at amortized cost, given the huge uncertainties about the euro area's future fiscal framework. The European Central Bank (ECB) then had little choice but to provide Europe's entire banking system with an expanded lifeline of long-term liquidity, as it did in December to great effect with the three-year Long Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO).
In this sorry context, it is good news that a more lively debate seems to have emerged these days over the need for a European banking union as a necessary complement to a euro area fiscal union, as the Financial Times recently reported. Some observers, including Jacob Kirkegaard, see the emergence of an integrated European banking policy in the making.
This view may be too optimistic, however. There is widespread agreement among economists and European and international technocrats that Europe's single financial market and monetary union cannot survive long-term without a banking union. Many observers had defended this view since before the crisis started (me included), and the International Monetary Fund articulated it more specifically in a landmark contribution in April 2010, which the then Managing Director endorsed in a speech in Brussels. But the obstacles are political, not analytical, and they have not disappeared at all.
Put simply, Europe's leaders are not ready to create a truly meaningful federal framework for banking policy because a critical mass of countries sees banks as a core instrument of national policy. Financial repression—namely, governments harnessing national financial systems to reduce their own financial difficulties to the detriment of savers and other users of financial services—is back from the history books, arguably even more so in the euro area than in other so-called advanced economies. A true banking union would encompass a federal framework for banking policy, including regulation, deposit insurance, and supervision and resolution at least for transnational banks. The catch is that this would also deprive national governments of many of their levers for financial repression. Other political considerations would also discourage such a union, including strong local links between banking and political establishments (e.g., Germany or Spain) to economic nationalism (e.g., France), that create huge political resistances to the very notion of a banking union.
An additional obstacle, not to be underestimated, is the discrepancy between the euro area and the 27-member European Union. A euro area–only banking union would be very difficult to square with the vision of a single EU market for financial services. Meanwhile, the European Banking Authority, created in 2011, happens to be located in London. But the United Kingdom is not ready to federalize decisions on banking supervision and resolution, partly because its big banks' international activities are outside Europe rather than on the continent (see figure 5 here ). There is no easy answer to this challenge, particularly because nobody knows what direction the United Kingdom will take vis-à-vis the European Union over the medium-term. Even policymakers who forcefully advocate for a banking union, as the ECB's Benoit Coeuré did in a recent speech, stop short of specifying whether they have a euro area or EU-27 framework in mind. Senior policymakers acknowledge in private that this is a huge practical obstacle to progress on the way to a banking union, and it is not likely to be resolved any time soon.
Ultimately, monetary union cannot be sustainable without fiscal union and banking union, and these will not themselves be sustainable without a form of political union. (I analyzed this interdependency in my testimony to the US Senate last September.) But my hunch is that there is a sequence here: We had monetary union first, we will (possibly) have fiscal union next, and (if at all) banking union last. Contrary to many people's intuitive perception, it is politically easier for a nation to renounce its own currency and even its fiscal sovereignty than its control on banks. The US history is not directly comparable but suggests the same sequence, as a truly integrated American national banking market did not exist until the second half of the 20th century. The apparent new emphasis on banking union in Europe's policy debate must be welcomed, but we're still a very, very long way from the endgame.

"Prisoners," a crime thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, was one of the early popular hits at last week's Toronto International Film Festival, earning rave whispers in the word-of-mouth fog that inevitably engulfs the 11-day event.
As if that hype weren't enough, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve sent a written message to this week's preview screenings, thanking attendees for their "interest" in his film, which, in his humble words, sounded for all the world like a sincere little passion project he and his pals cobbled out of a shoestring and a dream.
In actuality, "Prisoners" is a big-studio genre picture, a familiar — and undeniably well-executed — example of pulp miserablism in the tradition of "Seven" and its grisly imitators. Given gravitas by Christian imagery and a mood of millennial survivalist desperation, this pulp procedural joins a long line of films that sell themselves by way of the very depravity and malignant moral imagination they pretend to deplore.
But if that's your jam, hey, "Prisoners" is pretty good. Jackman plays Keller Dover, a Pennsylvania contractor who with his family has joined friends and neighbors the Birches (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis) and their kids for Thanksgiving dinner when young Anna Dover and Joy Birch go missing. A local detective named Loki (Gyllenhaal) takes the case, and when a suspect emerges, a battle of wills ensues as Dover — whose motto is "Be ready" and who keeps a gas mask, generators and canned goods in his basement — threatens to take matters into his own hands.
As Dover plays out his long-gestating, ultra-violent revenge fantasies — all the while reciting the Lord's Prayer, a crucifix conspicuously dangling from his rearview mirror, sermons playing on the truck radio — he resembles generations of vigilante protagonists who engage in all manner of torture and abuse fired by unimpeachable rage. "He stopped being human when he took our daughters," Dover tells Franklin, who stands for rationality and restraint but is played by Howard as a henpecked, passive onlooker as events take their inevitable, bloody course. The fact that Dover is never given a compelling ethical counterpoint — other than Loki's lame "I hear yous" and his friend's increasingly pained looks — is just one way that "Prisoners" betrays its true allegiance, pretending to engage viewers in reflective soul-searching but really giving them an excuse to indulge in vicarious sadistic violence with a righteous conscience.
The reason "Prisoners" has achieved such serious purchase among critics and cineastes has to do with Villeneuve's pedigree (he wrote and directed the highly regarded "Incendies," which possessed its own lurid plot pivot) and the fact that it's superbly made. Shot by master cinematographer Roger Deakins in moody shades of gray and white, "Prisoners" exudes despair and spiritual murkiness; Jackman and Gyllenhaal bring their A-game (and, in Gyllenhaal's case, an unexplained eye tic) to roles that would otherwise be generic, and Davis and Maria Bello are, as usual, flawless as wives and mothers waking up each day to the same but somehow brand new nightmare.
The emotions the actors bring to bear on "Prisoners" are genuinely wrenching, and there's no denying that Villeneuve and screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski know how to ratchet up suspense and, in one or two scenes, nerve-jangling spook-outs. In that regard, they've delivered a grade-A genre exercise — but it's a genre predicated on specious reasoning and promiscuous, pseudo-sacrificial suffering. Try as it might to entertain serious notions of manhood, evil and original sin, "Prisoners" works most effectively as Hollywood hypocrisy at its most sleek, efficient and meretricious. It's stylish, high-minded hokum.

Although 61% of Americans disapprove of their own country's leadership, the world continues to give the U.S., under President Barack Obama, the highest approval rating among major world powers today.
As many countries seek better cooperation amid rising international tensions, leaders should take note of what the world thinks. While foreign policy may not hinge on public opinion, public opinion could affect policies and partnerships between leaders -- and international relationships.

Alike the way you administer for jobs has acquired back so abundant is accessible online now. And with all of these changes appear abounding belief and misconceptions about resumes, some of which could absolutely be affliction your job chase efforts.
We're demography a attending at some accustomed belief that generally cruise job seekers up.
1. Your resume should be no added than one page.
This is a hotly debated topic. Yes, hiring managers are alone spending a few moments bribery your resume at first, but abstraction aggregate assimilate one folio could be accomplishing yourself a disservice. A distinct folio will usually answer for new graduates or individuals after a lot of acquaintance to point to, but if you're able-bodied into your career, aggravating to fit aggregate assimilate one folio could beggarly abrogation out important advice that could access a hiring manager's decision. Executives may acquisition it difficult to finer authenticate their administration and administration acquaintance and how they accept developed in their career in such a baby space. Two pages, and alike sometimes three, are acceptable.
2. Include an cold to appearance your goal.
When appointment your resume for a job, the ambition is acutely to acreage the position. Objectives can be bombastic and self-serving. They acquaint the hiring administrator what you want, but not necessarily what you accept to offer. Administration appetite to apperceive what you accompany to the table, and why they should alarm you for an account over addition candidate. Replace your cold with a well-crafted arbitrary account that highlights your key strengths and abilities and is tailored to the role.
3. You charge account every job you accept held.
Webcast, October 30th: What is Post-Click Optimization & Why is it Critical for Marketers?
Your resume is a snapshot of your career, not an autobiography. Think of it as a highlight reel assuming your strengths, training, and what you accept accomplished. If you've switched careers, accept done some part-time assignment on the ancillary for added income, or accept formed some positions that are extraneous to what you appetite to do now, you may be able to leave them off. Focus on the aftermost 10 to 15 years and what you accept done in that time. However, back bushing out online forms, accomplish abiding you account every job if that is what the certificate asks for; your resume is generally a abstracted certificate you're attaching.
4. You should be artistic with the architecture to accomplish it angle out.
Not necessarily. Traditional formats are broadly accustomed and assignment actual well. There's no charge to add a lot of color, adorned fonts, or graphs to your resume. These will generally be bare by an appellant tracking arrangement (ATS) anyway. Plus, it can be a turnoff to employers, abnormally if you're not applying for a artistic role.
5. A abundant resume will get you a job.
A abundant resume can get you an interview. It's up to you to acreage the job. And don't forget, there is a lot added that goes into the controlling action than aloof your resume. If you don't get the job, there may not accept been annihilation amiss with your resume, but rather addition abroad was a bigger fit for the role, the position changed, or endless added factors came into play.

Thanks for your input. It happened again to him this morning. As was mentioned I do not believe it is pebkac because no matter how high up the admin chain you go you still can't delete the contents of the windows folder while it is running (so far I haven't not seen a way)... I have tried. Even so he is a normal domain user meaning he has no admin rights.
Hardware issues I ruled out because it happens on his virtualbox, normal desktop (tried two different models) and his laptop. We used three different OS versions with different sp's (about 12 different cd's/dvd's thinking that the install was bad. It happens in XP, Vista, and Win 7 with no prompting and most times he isn't at his desk when it occurs (here was in the field yesterday afternoon and this morning his machine was all hosed again).
Enlighten me on the new Window's Feature... is it similar to the meat virus?

Moose Lake-Willow River wanted Caledonia. None of the one-game-at-a-time mumbo-jumbo. Since losing in the 2011 Prep Bowl, the Rebels have waited and plotted and dreamed of a rematch with the team that beat them in Class 2A championship game.
After their 27-20 victory over Jackson County Central the Class 2A semifinals Thursday, the Rebels will get what they wanted.
"I've thought Caledonia every day since last year," said senior running back Michael Pender, who scored two first-half touchdowns. "We've got another shot at them and we're not going to blow it."
The Rebels were not flawless; they fumbled once, flubbed two punt snaps and were just one of six on fourth-down conversions. But they relied on a running game that racked up 300 yards to overcome the miscues.
Running back Jake Disterhaupt had 173 combined yards from scrimmage — 105 rushing, 68 receiving — and scored a touchdown. Mike Gassert added a four-yard scoring run on in the fourth quarter, giving the Rebels a two-touchdown lead.
The margin proved vital when Jackson County Central's Darick Vancura shed numerous tacklers on a 30-yard touchdown run with just under six minutes remaining.
"We don't get a lot of these kinds of games during the season, so our experience here is the real key," Rebels coach Dave Louzek said. "Our kids have to step up and be ready for the challenge of playing four quarters and they've been able to do that."
Even Louzek admitted that playing Caledonia was in his team's sights all season.
"From day one, the whole goal has been to get a rematch with Caledonia," Louzek said. "We tell the kids that if they want to be the best, they have to beat the best. And Caledonia is the best there is in [Class] 2A football."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Michael Steinberg, a portfolio manager at Steven A. Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors hedge fund, was sentenced on Friday to 3-1/2 years in prison for insider trading.
The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan in Manhattan, five months after a federal jury convicted Steinberg on securities fraud and conspiracy charges, in a case stemming from a broad crackdown on insider trading on Wall Street.
Steinberg's lawyers had asked for no more than two years in prison, while prosecutors had argued for up to 6-1/2 years.
Sullivan also ordered Steinberg to pay a $2 million fine and forfeit $365,142, a sum the government says Steinberg and an SAC analyst were paid from the illegal trading profits.
Dozens of family members and friends attended the sentencing and sent letters to the judge. The letters, Sullivan said, described Steinberg in a positive light that set him apart from other defendants he had sentenced.
"If it were only based on the character of this man, it would be easy, because I do think this is a good man," he said. "But I do have to consider the crime here."
Prosecutors accused Steinberg of trading on illegal tips about Dell Inc and Nvidia Corp passed to him by an SAC analyst, who admitted to swapping confidential information among a group of analysts at other hedge funds. Steinberg's trading resulted in illegal profits of $1.82 million, prosecutors said.
Steinberg, 42, is one of eight current or former SAC Capital employees to be convicted on insider trading charges.
SAC pleaded guilty to fraud charges and has agreed to pay $1.8 billion in criminal and civil settlements.
The Stamford, Connecticut-based firm has rebranded itself Point72 Asset Management as it shifts to being a family office managing Cohen's fortune.
Sullivan granted Steinberg bail, pending an appeal.
The appeal is expected to focus on Sullivan's not having required the government to prove that Steinberg knew the insider who originally disclosed non-public information had received a benefit for making the disclosure.
Todd Newman, a former portfolio manager at Diamondback Capital Management, and Anthony Chiasson, co-founder of Level Global Investors, are appealing on similar grounds stemming from convictions in a separate trial Sullivan also oversaw.
During appellate arguments in Newman and Chiasson's case last month, some judges questioned whether Sullivan's interpretation of the insider trading law was correct.
Sullivan on Friday noted the arguments, saying the issue appeared to be "a closer call than I thought."
Steinberg's sentence was less severe than those of Newman and Chiasson, who in 2013 received terms from Sullivan of 4-1/2 years and 6-1/2 years in prison, respectively.
Cohen has not been criminally charged. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking to bar Cohen from the securities industry for failing to supervise Steinberg and another portfolio manager and prevent insider trading. Cohen denies wrongdoing.
The case is U.S. v. Steinberg, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-cr-00121.

Some Oscar winners just can't catch a break.
During a ceremony in France on Monday, French actress Marion Cotillard was honored as a member of the Order of Arts and Letters – and accidentally stabbed in the chest with her honorary medallion.
France's culture minister Frederic Mitterand was attaching the pin to her blouse, when the needle jabbed the "La Vie en Rose" beauty in the torso, causing both the actress and the minister to gasp in front of the crowd.
However, the pain seemed to be short-lived as both Cotillard and Mitterand broke into laughter on stage.
Prior to the inadvertent jab, Mitterand praised the actress for her "charm, natural grace and beauty."
"Alice in Wonderland" director Tim Burton was also honored during the ceremony – however, he escaped without injury.
Cotillard, who took home the Oscar for Best Actress in 2008, has since starred in such films as "Public Enemies" with Johnny Depp and Rob Marshall's "Nine."

Even before the British Defense Ministry this week elected to scrap the Royal Navy's only fixed-wing-aircraft carrier, nobody imagined that Britannia still ruled the waves or had any of the power that characterized its empire before the two world wars of the past century. Still, as recently as a decade ago, Britain could take solace in its "special relationship" with the sole surviving superpower, earning pride of place among U.S. allies with its readiness to commit substantial numbers of troops to Washington's expeditionary military ventures. Sure, the 46,000 troops the British sent to Iraq for the U.S.-led invasion equaled around one-third of the American force, but the U.S. military was almost 10 times larger than Britain's. In Afghanistan, also, the U.K. committed a force equivalent to one-third of the U.S. deployment. In both cases, Britain's contribution dwarfed that of other NATO allies.
But the defense spending cuts announced this week as part of the British government's massive deficit-cutting austerity program mean that the next time America goes to war in some distant land, it is unlikely to be joined by significant numbers of British squaddies. Besides scrapping (for at least a decade) its naval capacity to send air power overseas, the U.K. will cut its defense budget by 8%, losing 17,000 personnel and cutting back its armory of tanks and artillery.
The maximum number of troops that the reconfigured British military will be able to deploy in any new sustained expeditionary operation will be 6,500. While its leaders gamely insist that Britain will continue to "punch above its weight" as a military power, the message for the U.S. in Britain's contraction may be a lot more sobering than simply the retrenchment of military capability by its most trusted ally. Britain's case may have illustrated the iron law that fiscal deficits inevitably corrode a nation's ability to project power beyond its shores.
Americans may not consider the U.S. an empire, but there's no question that its military is equipped and deployed on an imperial scale. Consider the map of the area of responsibilities of its six Unified Combatant Commands they literally cover the world, like the board game Risk. U.S. Central Command refers not to the Midwest, but to the territory that runs from Egypt eastward to the Chinese and Indian borders, and north to the Russian frontier. The Pentagon maintains more than 800 bases beyond the 50 states, and stations close to 300,000 troops abroad. The 2009 U.S. defense budget of $660 billion was more than the combined defense expenditures of the next 17 countries on the spending table. And that budget continues to rise steadily, growing at 4.8% for 2010, a year in which the U.S. economy's GDP growth is likely to be less than 2%.
Militarily, the U.S. is the British Empire of the 21st century and then some. But it is policing the world on the back of a colossal $1.5 trillion budget deficit and a staggering $13.5 trillion national debt. Its economy is in the grip of a deep, and possibly long-term, crisis that shows little sign of reducing an unemployment rate close to 10%, let alone being in a position to make the desperately needed investments in everything from education to infrastructure necessary to restore long-term competitiveness.
The Congressional Research Service calculated last September that the U.S. has spent $1.2 trillion on military operations since the 9/11 attacks, and the ongoing commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing the U.S. more than $3 billion a week. American politicians may sound the alarm on the need to slash spending to rein in deficits but those warnings ritually add the rider "except for the military." Still, a Federal Government currently borrowing 40 cents of every dollar it spends is likely to struggle to sustain imperial levels of military commitment.
Don't expect to see a major retrenchment of U.S. military capability anytime soon Britain's decline happened slowly, over a century. But the economic laws of gravity suggest that what we saw in Britain this week is a fate that eventually awaits the U.S. military too. After all, if the massive expansion of the U.S. economy over the past six decades appears to be coming to a close, it's hard to see how the epic expansion of the U.S. military budget over the same period can be sustained.

WATERVLIET -- The heat wave that is sweeping the region may has already sent some Capital District residents heading for the pools, and those pools will only become more crowded as forecasters predict the heat will only worsen through the week. The midday temperature index in the Capital District and the Mohawk Valley is expected to hover in excess of 90 degrees between Tuesday and Thursday. The wave, a combination of high temperatures and humidity, is expected to crest on Thursday and Friday, with highs of 101 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, which has issued a hazardous weather warning. The cause is high pressure, centered over the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina, that has been gradually building into the region as current systems dissipate. As no systems appear to be moving into the area, that pressure is expected to build -- and keep building. "We're talking about compressive heating, which is giving us out 90 plus temperatures this week," said meteorologist Evan Heller, with the National Weather Service. On Monday, Watervliet residents like Tom Maureci were out trying to cool off with a dip in Veterans Park Pool. "It's a great day for swimming," said Maureci. "It's too hot to do anything else. The water is so refreshing. The water temperature is just perfect." Lately, the pool has experienced an uptick in attendance, with about 100 people visiting each day, said Clarice Bouck, a pool attendant. "There have definitely been more families," she said. Area municipalities, Watervliet among them, are trying to help their residents keep cool by extending pool hours this week. Some municipalities have issued advisories to aid citizens in staying cool. Those recommendations include staying indoors when the temperatures exceed 90 degrees, drinking non-alcoholic liquids, especially water to remain hydrated, and taking cool baths or showers. As residents around the region crank their air conditioners, National Grid is bracing for a strain on the electrical system. On Monday, the power supplier sent out a warning urging residents to turn off ceiling fans and lights when residents are not home, to use electric fans, which consume less energy than air conditioners, and to draw blinds and shades during the hottest part of the day. The power supplier may be in for straining the electrical grid, and severe weather looms at the end of the week, National Grid is bracing for a tough week, as severe weather looms following the high temperatures. Friday may be showers and a brief respite from the heat, but the real reprieve may come on Saturday, when a cold front is expected. It may also bring severe weather, with thunderstorms possible on Saturday and into the weekend, compounding National Grids concerns.

Because Botox was getting super tired, now there's Dysport — the "botulinum toxin product that outperformed Botox in a head-to-head trial against facial wrinkles." Needles in competition! Thrilling.
"When it comes to addressing the smile lines around the eyes, the crow's feet — at one month, the Dysport is more effective than Botox," study co-author Dr. Corey S. Maas, associate clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco, told HealthDay.
So if your old injectable toxin just wasn't cutting it anymore, don't worry. The plastic surgery industry wouldn't dream of leaving you without new and exciting ways to freeze your face.

The New York-based National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) and the D.C.-based National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) are calling for action after recent killings of young transgender women of color.
Both groups – who have partnered along with NCAVP member organizations Buckeye Region Anti-Violence Organization (BRAVO) of Ohio and Florida's SunServe Services, to raise awareness about the crimes, which include the April 3 murder of 29-year-old Kelly Young of Baltimore – released a joint statement May 2 calling on law enforcement solve the cases.
In addition to the murder of Young, the activists are drawing attention to the murder of 30-year-old Ashley Sinclair of Orlando, Fla., and 20-year-old Cemia Dove of Cleveland, whose murder gained national attention and criticism from the LGBT community after the local newspaper, The Plain Dealer, ran coverage that many decried as insensitive to transgender people, referring to Dove as male and "oddly dressed." All three murders remain unsolved.
"Each year, NCAVP tracks the homicides of lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in the U.S. in which an anti-LGBTQ motive is known," Chai Jindasurat, coordinator at the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP), said in a statement. "However, for many LGBTQ homicide victims, especially transgender women and people of color who are disproportionally affected by anti-LGBTQ violence, a motive is never determined. It is imperative to call attention to these incidents so that the lives of these individuals are not forgotten or overlooked and so that we can bring all resources to bear to discover what happened to them, when that is possible."
According to NCAVP, there were 30 documented cases of anti-LGBTQ homicides in 2011. Transgender women made up 40 percent of the 30 murders, and 87 percent of victims in 2011 were LGBT people of color.
"Enough is enough," Sharon Lettman-Hicks, executive director and CEO at NBJC, said in a statement. "Three unsolved homicides within one month should elicit a national outcry. We need to hold our law enforcement officials accountable at every level – from local police departments that need to work tirelessly to find these killers and bring them to justice, to federal agencies such as the Department of Justice that should create a national task force to address the serial killings of black trans women in this nation. How many more lives must be lost before we takes serious action to stop this madness?"
Days after Young's murder, Baltimore police told area TV news outlets that it was too soon to tell whether Young's death could be considered a hate crime. Young was found with a single gunshot wound inside a residence in the 2200 block of Barclay Street, near King and Kennedy Park and Mund Park. She was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.
Police are asking anyone who may have information related to Young's murder to call the Baltimore City Police Homicide Division at 410-396-2100.

Strategic Plan
Developing a Helping and Caring Culture
The Student Affairs Division is leading the goal of Helping and Caring within the university's Vision 2017 strategic plan, and also has an important action role in all four other goals. The focus of the Helping and Caring goal is to assist the university in creating a institution-wide "Culture of Helping."
Helping and Caring includes, but also extends far beyond, the notion of a "Culture of Service" or an operational emphasis on enhancing customer processes and satisfaction. This goal seeks to develop a mindset among everyone within the university—students, faculty, and staff—that every individual can make a contribution to a building "caring" environment and has the ability to be "helpful" in their interactions across the campus. Members of the SJSU community truly care about others and about the university as a whole, and we want to be helpful in our interactions and our activities on a continuous basis. Student Affairs is proud to be asked to lead the effort to enhance this cultural value across the university.

White chili made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey can be a perfect autumn dish for a post-holiday gridiron marathon. Photo by: Photo from dalailina.com
November 21, 2012 10:01:23 AM
The big day is tomorrow. In many homes, the dining table's extra leaves are being inserted and more chairs rounded up from outlying rooms. Silverware is being cleaned, serving dishes lined up, and Thanksgiving meals are in the making. This holiday, more than any other, celebrates food as a focal point that draws us together. Yep, tomorrow the eating will be good.
But just for a minute, let's think ahead to Friday, when -- if we're lucky -- we've got leftovers from that succulent turkey to enjoy. The lean meat is low in fat and an excellent source of protein, so don't let it go to waste. Sure, we all love a turkey sandwich, but first consider these five delicious alternatives for stretching Thursday's main course into a second and even third mouthwatering meal.
A savory white turkey chili, rich with blended flavors, makes a great food for weekend game-watching. Top it with cheeses or sour cream and serve with tortilla chips for a filling lunch or supper.
Or maybe a cream of turkey and wild rice soup would whet your appetite. Today's soup recipe is a healthy twist on a classic. Serve it with crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.
Pizza, anyone? Leftover turkey and collard greens meld deliciously with Alfredo sauce you can get at the grocery store. Add a nutty fontina cheese for a change from the norm.
For a bit of a gourmet twist, try health.com's turkey and Swiss radicchio cups. These low-carb bites are just 100 calories and get their flavor burst from combining turkey with tart Granny Smith apple strips, tangy Dijon mustard and creamy Gruyère cheese.
We finish our five recipes with one for a turkey macaroni casserole topped with toasted almonds that, hot out of the oven, should fill the kitchen with an aroma that's as good as a dinner bell.
Still hankering for that leftover turkey sandwich? Well, sure, go ahead. But try adding some dressing and a little cranberry, too, for a hint of deja vu.
Whatever form your Thanksgiving meal takes -- big family dinner or quiet dining alone -- take time to reflect on blessings. That's the most important ingredient of all.
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small to medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 celery stalk, diced
2 good sized garlic cloves
1 pound leftover turkey (white and dark), cubed
1 1/2 Tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste - may need more/less depending on turkey)
1 15-ounce can black beans
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chilis
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
Suggested toppings:
Jack cheese
Sour cream
Crushed tortilla chips

1/2 cup light Alfredo sauce (such as Contadina)

|Associate Head Coach
|Manhattan, N.Y.
|Previous College:
|Tennessee Tech
Former Golden Eagle guard Rick Cabrera returns for his fifth season as a coach at his alma mater, and enters his second season as the team's associate head coach. He served as an assistant coach his first three seasons in Cookeville.
He assisted in Tech's fantastic 2015-16 campaign as the Golden Eagles soared to a 19-12 overall record and 11-5 mark in Ohio Valley Conference play while returning to the postseason for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign with a bid in the inaugural Vegas 16 Tournament.
Cabrera came to Tech after spending 2008-2012 at Chattanooga under head coach John Shulman. Shulman was a former assistant coach at Tennessee Tech under Jeff Lebo.
While at Chattanooga, he helped coach the Mocs to two Southern Conference North Division titles in 2008-09 and 2010-11. The 2008-09 team would go on to win the SoCon Tournament and gained a berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Known for his strong reputation as a recruiter and evaluator of talent, Cabrera served as head coach at Lackawanna for four years prior to his stint at UTC. He accumulated a record of 100-28, winning two region titles. His 2007-08 squad went 22-9 and lost in the region semifinals. Cabrera was named region Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2006 and coached three NJCAA All-Americans and eight All-Region players.
Cabrera also logged two years as an assistant coach at Keystone College in 2003 and 2004, and spent the 2001-02 season as an assistant for Miami (Fla.) Killian High School. Cabrera was also head coach and athletics director for one season (1998-99) at Volunteer Christian Academy in Sparta, Tenn.
As a collegiate player, Cabrera transferred to Tennessee Tech after two seasons at Vincennes University in Vincennes, Ind., where he played with future NBA players Shawn Marion (Miami Heat) and Tyrone Nesby (Washington Wizards). He played two seasons in Cookeville under head coach Frank Harrell, who currently serves as TTU's associate athletic director. Following his senior season, Cabrera was named the Golden Eagles MVP and earned the Sam Harley Lynn Award.
After finishing his Multidisciplinary Studies degree in 1999, Cabrera served as a graduate assistant at Tennessee Tech following his playing career as a Golden Eagle for then head coach Jeff Lebo. Cabrera worked one season on Lebo's staff and earned his master's in Instructional Leadership from TTU in 2001.
His father, Hugo Cabrera, Sr., was voted as the Dominican Republic's "Player of the Century" and is in that country's Basketball Hall of Fame. Rick has also played professional basketball in the Dominican Republic.
Cabrera is married to the former Danielle Olker of Queens, N.Y. The couple has a daughter, Mikayla, and three sons, Jaden, Braxton and Landon.

- I downloaded the latest versions of Webmatrix and MySQL.
- I downloaded a PHP-MySQL Connector: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/
- In the "Databases" Workspace I pressed "New Connection" button and choose "MySQL Connection"
- In the Dialog box I filled-in all connection details
--> It looks like the database was added.
But then when I double-click on the database, I get a short error message saying it cannot connect.
I tried everything, searched the web... I'm sure it's a very simple question, so please whoever can help I'll be grateful. I think best solution for me would be if someone could please just give me a link to download of: Webmatrix,MySQL,Connector; and instructions on how to install and then how to connect. This would be the safest way to help me.

Halcyon malimbica (blue-breasted kingfisher)
June 10 2007
Budongo Forest, Uganda
Blue breasted kingfisher (Halcyon malimbica). This bird allowed a close approach by the photographer. The breast is wet from foraging in the moist understory. Whilebeing watched it became suddenly alert, dived down, grabbed a pinkish worm-like invertebrate, returned to the branch and bashed the worm against the branch before swallowing it.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech softball team split Saturday's doubleheader against Belmont at Tech Softball Stadium. Belmont upended the Golden Eagles 4-1 in the first game before Tech held off a comeback in the second game to defeat the Bruins 3-2.
Tech (17-19, 6-5) relied heavily on its infield defense in both games to stop two one-inning spree by the Bruins, as Belmont rallied in the sixth inning in both games. Claudia Harke (4-6) held Belmont to four hits through five innings before the Bruins exploded in the sixth, scoring four runs. Head coach Bonnie Bynum relieved the right hander by bringing in Erica Tuck, to stifle the Bruins comeback.
Tuck only gave up two hits in her 1.1 innings of work thanks to a strong showing by Tech's infield. Sophomore short stop Hannah Eldridge tossed five putouts and second baseman Cortney Fry contributed five of her own.
The Golden Eagles scored its lone run in the first inning as freshman Olivia Bennett knocked a dinger over the left field wall for her third homerun of the season.
In the second game, Taylor Ketchum (12-7) took the circle and fended-off any spark of Bruin offense for five innings. Belmont again came alive in the sixth, scoring two runs. The Golden Eagles held a 3-2 advantage thanks to scoring one run in three straight-innings.
Tech scored its first run in the third inning when Angi Sakamoto doubled up the middle. Senior Melody Christian placed a bunt to advance Sakamoto but beat the throw, to put runners on first and third for the Golden Eagles. Eldridge singled sending Sakamoto home for Tech to light up the scoreboard first.
The Golden Eagles second run came in the next inning when Sakamoto reached on a fielder's choice, and the Spalding sisters each gained two bases. Brittney Spalding crossed home plate to give Tech a 2-0 edge.
Tech's winning run came in the fifth inning when a series of Bruin errors allowed Bennett to cross home plate.
The Golden Eagles send the series decision to Sunday when they host Belmont in the final game of the series. The first pitch is scheduled for 12 p.m.

The Mass Effect movie has been in pre-production limbo for years now, and looks set to stay that way for a while yet, with Variety reporting that the script handed in by Thor writer Mark Protosevich has been binned, with TV writer Morgan Davis Foehl taking over.
Foehl's an interesting choice; he doesn't have a single produced screenplay to his name, but has popped up on people's radars after winning 2009's "Black List", an award handed out to the best unproduced screenplay in Hollywood.
So why give it to such an unproven writer? Well, in good news for Mass Effect fans Foehl is apparently a fan of the series, and "has also penned action pics with a strong espionage bent", which the producers feel would be a good fit for the project.

Harvard will go for its second straight win over Johns Hopkins Saturday in Baltimore (Craig Cyr).
The Storyline
The Harvard women's lacrosse team is headed south over spring break to face Johns Hopkins Saturday, March 17 at 12 p.m. in Baltimore, Md. Harvard is 2-1 all-time against the Blue Jays, including a 12-8 win last season in Cambridge.
A free video stream and live stats will be available during Saturday's game through HopkinsSports.com.
Last Time Out
Harvard played its second overtime game of the week in search of its second straight top 20 upset, but Courtney Tomchik's goal with 0:24 remaining in the extra session proved to be the difference as No. 9/10 Penn took the victory, 14-13, Saturday in Philadelphia, Pa.
Melanie Baskind, Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault each registered a hat trick for the Crimson with Baskind's season-high four goals leading the way. Cyr recorded a team-high four ground balls and three draw controls, while Tetreault added four draw controls. Tetreault converted all three of her free position shots as Harvard went 5-fo-7 for the day. Kelly Weiss tallied six saves in goal while taking the loss.
Penn was led by Caroline Bunting and Tomchik who each scored four goals, while Erin Brennan added three. The Quakers held a 23-20 edge in shots and an 18-13 advantage in draw controls, including a 4-1 margin in overtime.
Scouting the Blue Jays

Harvard won 15-of-22 draw controls on the day and scored on 4-of-6 free position shots.
National Prominence

To Be the Best, You Have to Beat the Best
Harvard has knocked off a top 20 opponent in each of the last four seasons, with James Madison, then ranked 13th in the IWLCA Coaches Poll, becoming its latest victim via a 9-8 double-overtime triumph on March 6. The Crimson will have plenty more opportunities to knock off one of the premier teams in the nation this season, as 10 of the team's opponents have been ranked in either the deBeer Media Poll or the IWLCA Preseason Coaches Poll including Boston College, Cornell, Dartmouth, James Madison, John's Hopkins, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, Syracuse, and Virginia.
Sharing the Wealth
Seven different Crimson have scored a goal in 2012 with six having scored at least three. Melanie Baskind leads the way with nine goals, while Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault rank second and third with eight goals and seven goals, respectively.

Two Way Players
Midfielders Melanie Baskind, Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault have led the Crimson on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field in 2012. Baskind (9g, 1a) and Tetreault (7g, 3a) are currently tied for the team lead with 10 points, while Baskind, Cyr and Tetreault rank first, second and third in goals with nine, eight and seven, respectively. Defensively, Baskind's nine ground balls are tops on the Crimson with Cyr's eight putting her second. Tetreault has recovered a team-best 13 draw controls while Baskind and Cyr are tied for second with two.
Climbing the Charts
Senior Jess Halpern and junior Jennifer VanderMeulen currently rank among Harvard's all-time top 10 goal scorers. Halpern has netted 117 career goals, good for seventh in program history, while her 139 points place her ninth in the school record books. VanderMeulen, meanwhile, ranks ninth with 108 goals in just 35 games and boasts 122 points. Her 56 goals scored in 2010 rank fifth on the Crimson's single-season list.
Ivy League Honors
Senior co-captain Melanie Baskind was named the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Week Feb. 27 after leading the Crimson to an 11-9 season-opening win over Boston University.
Baskind led the Crimson on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field, registering her ninth career hat trick while collecting a game-high five ground balls. The midfielder converted on all three of her shot attempts and also won two draw controls and caused two turnovers.
This was the first weekly award of Baskind's career and Harvard's first defensive player of the week honor since Kathryn Tylander '08 took home the award on March 4, 2008.
Catch the Crimson in 2012
Harvard has announced that 11 home men's and women's lacrosse games will be streamed online from Harvard Stadium during the 2012 season, marking the third straight year fans of Harvard lacrosse will have the opportunity to watch the Crimson live from home.

Tewaaraton Award Watch List
Junior's Jennifer VanderMeulen and Danielle Tetreault were named to the 2012 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, which is comprised of the top 50 women's lacrosse student-athletes from all three divisions of collegiate lacrosse. VanderMeulen and Tetreault are the latest Crimson to be put up for the prestigious award, after current teammates Jess Halpern and Micaela Cyr were nominated in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
VanderMeulen is coming off a season in which she was named to the Synapse Sports All-America second team, IWLCA All-Region first team and All-Ivy League first team after ranking 18th in the NCAA in goals per game (3.0) and 30th in goals (48). She currently ranks 10th in program history with 104 career goals, while her 56 scores in 2010 rank fifth on Harvard's single-season list.
Tetreault was a first team all-region and second team all-Ivy selection a year ago, and ranked 31st in the nation with 2.63 goals per game. Tetreault boasts 62 career goals, 17 assists and 79 points in 31 career games.
Captaining the Ship
Seniors Melanie Baskind, Ellen Gleason and Tyler Petropulos were voted by their teammates as captains for the 2012 season. Baskind and Petropulos also served as captains last season, making them just the sixth and seventh student-athletes in program history to be voted captain in consecutive seasons. Carroll Clark '92 was the first to do so when she captained both the 1991 and 1992 squads, and was followed by Daphne Clark '97 (1996 & 1997), Ali Harper '01 (2000 & 2001), Lauren Bobzin '08 (2007 & 2008) and Sara Flood '10 (2009 & 2010). This is just the sixth time in program history three Crimson had been chosen to lead the team.
Two-Sport Star Baskind Featured by New England Lacrosse
Senior Melanie Baskind, who captains both the women's lacrosse and women's soccer teams and is an All-Ivy League honoree in both sports, was recently featured by Sammi Gorman of the New England Lacrosse Journal.
"In the city of Boston — a breeding ground for both star athletes and top students at some of the world's best academic institutions — Melanie Baskind is different.
"She's not the only student with a 3.8 grade-point average as a neurobiology major at a top school like Harvard, and she's not the only athlete to get league Player of the Year honors in her sport. She is the only one to do those things and be a threat to earn those kind of honors in two sports."

Julia French '90, Charlotte Joslin '90 and Maggie Vaughan '90 were named first team All-Americans following the season while Susan Carls '91 and Karen Everling '90 were named to the second team. Four-year letterwinners Everling, French and Walser graduated with a career record of 50-8-1, including a perfect 23-0 mark in the Ivy League.
The Crimson has made a total of nine NCAA Tournament appearances and has reached the national championship game three times. Harvard has also won 11 Ivy League Championships, tied with Dartmouth for the most in conference history.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The Harvard women's water polo team suffered a 12-10 defeat to No. 19 Bucknell at the CWPA Eastern Championship. Special teams play was a major component in the contest as over half of the offense came on man-up opportunities and five-meter penalty shots. The two squads combined to score four penalty shots and eight man-up tallies.
Elise Molnar opened the scoring at 1:31 with a five-meter penalty shot. The Bisons knotted the score just 21 seconds later. Shannon Purcell answered Bucknell's second tally with a man-up goal. With two minutes remaining in the opening period, Devan Kennifer rifled an equalizer into the left corner to make the score 3-3 heading into the final minute. The Bisons found the back of the net just before time expired to hold the lead. The two squads traded goals throughout the match. Bucknell would get a goal up on the Crimson and Harvard would respond with a score to tie the game. The Bisons grasped to the one-goal advantage at halftime as each team buried three markers in the second quarter.
Shami Entenman entered the game between the pipes in the second half. Entenman's presence was felt early as the junior turned aside a five-meter penalty shot 14 ticks into the half. Bucknell managed to score three times in the third stanza and stymied the Crimson offense, holding it to one tally. Harvard trailed 10-7 heading down the stretch. Purcell notched a score 1:18 into the final quarter. Bucknell extended the lead back to three less than a minute later. Monica Zdrojewski pulled the Crimson within a goal halfway through the period. The Bisons added an insurance goal with 1:20 remaining. Despite outscoring Bucknell in the final stanza, 3-2, Harvard bowed to Bucknell 12-10.
Zdrojewski paced the squad as she buried four goals. Purcell chipped in a pair of scores in the contest. Ita Barton-Kettleborough, Kennifer, Molnar and Aisha Price each found the back of the cage once for the Crimson. Laurel McCarthy and Entenman both recorded two saves in the game. Price added six steals in the match.
Harvard will now face host Maryland in the seventh-place match, Sunday at 10 a.m.
