Weekly wire: The global forum
It's not what you spend
The Economist
FOR decades rich countries have sought to foster global development with aid. But all too often there is little to show for their spending, now over $135 billion a year and rising. Success depends on political will in recipient countries, says Erik Solheim of the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries that includes the biggest donors. And that may well be lacking. What donors will pay for may not be what recipients deem a priority. So poor countries' governments say what they must to get cash, and often fail to keep their side of the deal. Aid to build schools may be used to give fat contracts to allies, and the schools left empty. Ambulances bought by donors may rust on the kerb, waiting for spare parts. Now donors are trying a new approach: handing over aid only if outcomes improve. "Cash on delivery" sees donors and recipients set targets, for example to cut child mortality rates or increase the number of girls who finish school, and agree on how much will be paid if they are met.
Forget The Fitbit: Can Wearables Be Designed For The Developing World?
Fast Co.Exist
When we think of wearable technology today, we think of the Fitbits or the Apple Watch. But to many people, tracking our steps or sleep in unprecedented detail or getting a notification slightly faster is interesting but ultimately not quite useful enough. The quantified self, in the context of people who have access to any technology they want, can be inherently self-absorbed. Imagine a different use case: An impoverished woman in rural Africa, pregnant with her first child and many miles away from medical care. Here, a wearable that helps her track her pregnancy and let her know if she needs to get to a doctor could mean life or death for her unborn child.

How migrant children lived in Texas' Depression-era farm labor camps
In some of history's most famous photos, children have captured the nation's imagination and impacted public opinion in measurable way.
Although Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother," taken on a pea farm in California, was the most iconic image to come out of the federal Farm Security Adminstration's vast public relations effort, thousands of other images were also saved from farm labor camps across the United States.
The FSA believed photographing the everyday lives of migrant farm workers and their families would drum up national support for the program, which provided loans and low-rent housing, while directing laboerers to farms that needed help, between 1935 and 1944, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
Texas was home to several FSA camps, where families had access to free medical and dental care, community gardens and nursery schools for young children.
These photos were taken by FSA photographer Arthur Rothstein in 1942, at FSA camps in Robstown near Corpus Christi, Harlingen in the Rio Grande Valley, Sinton north of Corpus Christi and Weslaco between McAllen and Harlingen.

It may not look as hot as the Sync Desktop concept, but the new Revolution Desk provides similar functionality in a product that you can actually own. The simple yet functional design incorporates a unique rotating panel surface that allows for an unobstructed forward view when using the computer, but can completely eliminate the monitor from sight when not in use. And the best part is that the actions are controlled simply by moving the keyboard tray in and out.
The Revolution Desk comes in three sizes—48, 60 and 72-inches as well as a variety of colors. As far as monitor size is concerned it appears that the rotating panel is restricted to 19-inches max, which is a disappointment—but I can still see it becoming popular in both office and domestic settings. Prices range from $500 to $700. [Versa Tables via The Design Blog]

A trial starts in Prince George's County this week for a D.C. police officer charged in the deaths of a woman and her young child.
A Circuit Court judge is hearing arguments Monday in the case against Richmond Phillips, and opening statements are expected later in the week.
Phillips was arrested in June 2011 after police found the body of 20-year-old Wynetta Wright in the Oxon Run Stream Valley Park. Her 1-year-old daughter, Jaylin, was found dead nearby in a car seat in Wright's car. Police say she may have died as a result of exposure to the heat. Court records show Phillips and Wright were involved in a paternity dispute.
A D.C. police spokeswoman says Phillips, who had been a vice officer assigned, is suspended without pay.

The newest scam involving a fraudulent email notice from the Internal Revenue (IRS) may have your employees coming to you asking about their insurance coverage for 2014.
The Internal Revenue Service late last week issued an alert to tax payers and tax professionals for an IRS scam related to the ACA.
Please review the following information released from the IRS and distribute to any employee who may notify you that they have received the fraudulent email. It gives details on the fraudulent notice, how to report to the IRS receipt of the fraudulent email and instructions to delete the email.
Also as noted below, it is important to know that the IRS does not send out any notices by email to tax payers. Their practice is always to begin communication with tax payers through the mail.
The IRS has received numerous reports around the country of scammers sending a fraudulent version of CP2000 notices for tax year 2015. Generally, the scam involves an email that includes the fake CP2000 as an attachment. The issue has been reported to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for investigation.
The CP2000 is a notice commonly mailed to taxpayers through the United States Postal Service. It is never sent as part of an email to taxpayers. The indicators are:
- These notices are being sent electronically, even though the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email or through social media platforms;
- The CP 2000 notices appear to be issued from an Austin, Texas, address;
- The underreported issue is related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requesting information regarding 2014 coverage;
- The payment voucher lists the letter number as 105C.
The fraudulent CP2000 notice included a payment request that taxpayers mail a check made out to "I.R.S." to the "Austin Processing Center" at a Post Office Box address. This is in addition to a "payment" link within the email itself.
IRS impersonation scams take many forms: threatening telephone calls, phishing emails and demanding letters. Learn more at Reporting Phishing and Online Scams.
Taxpayers or tax professionals who receive this scam email should forward it to email@example.com and then delete it from their email account.
Taxpayers and tax professionals generally can do a keyword search on IRS.gov for any notice they receive. Taxpayers who receive a notice or letter can view explanations and images of common correspondence on IRS.gov at Understanding Your IRS Notice or Letter.
To determine if a CP2000 notice you received in the mail is real, see the Understanding Your CP2000 Notice, which includes an image of a real notice.
A CP2000 is generated by the IRS Automated Under-reporter Program when income reported from third-party sources such as an employer does not match the income reported on the tax return. It provides extensive instructions to taxpayers about what to do if they agree or disagree that additional tax is owed.
It also requests that a check be made out to "United States Treasury" if the taxpayer agrees additional tax is owed. Or, if taxpayers are unable to pay, it provides instructions for payment options such as installment payments.
The IRS and its Security Summit partners – the state tax agencies and the private-sector tax industry – are conducting a campaign to raise awareness among taxpayer and tax professionals about increasing their security and becoming familiar with various tax-related scams. Learn more at Taxes. Security. Together. or Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself.

Local 6 Theme World: Disney blasts back on privacy concerns
Your home for theme park and tourism news
Welcome to Local 6 Theme World
January 29, 2013
Disney Blasts Back on MyMagic+ Privacy Concerns
You have to wonder what has Disney CEO Bob Iger feeling so defensive about MyMagic+. It is not every day you read a letter from a CEO to a congressman whose second paragraph reads:
''We are offended by the ludicrous and utterly ill-informed assertion in your letter dated January 24, 2013, that we would in any way haphazardly or recklessly introduce a program that manipulates children, or wantonly puts their safety at risk.''
And continues on to read:
"It is truly unfortunate and extremely disappointing that you chose to publicly attack us before taking the time to review our policies and/or contact us for information, which would have obviated the need for your letter. Had you or your staff made the slightest effort, you would have found most of the answers to your questions already existed and were publicly available online."
That was part of Iger's lawyer-crafted response to one Rep. Edward Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, who recently sent (IMHO) a relatively politely worded (though pointed) letter asking legitimate and detailed questions about how the new MyMagic+ & its MagicBand transmitters will work, what data Disney plans to collect with them and how Disney plans to use that information.
Rep. Markey is co-chairman of the Congressional Bi-partisan Privacy Caucus.
The strongest quote I recall from Markey's original letter was:
"Although kids should have the chance to meet Mickey Mouse, this memorable meeting should not be manipulated through surreptitious use of a child's personal information."
Iger's ghostwriters accuse Rep. Markey's staff of not making the slightest effort before drafting his letter. Disney knows better than this. The congressman knew exactly what he was doing, and what he was asking. He likely wanted answers on the public & congressional record to start a debate.
Now where this debate goes from here is, well, up for debate. But from reading many travel websites and fan forums, there are a great many parents out there who are worried about how Disney (admittedly) plans to track guests movements, spending habits, rides, shopping time and more.
Iger's letter points out: "MyMagic+ is "a completely optional program that was designed with privacy controls from the outset." But what is optional?
A key part of MyMagic+ includes replacing FastPass with FastPass+. Will people who opt out have the same access to skipping the lines at the most popular rides?
Disney answers in an addendum to Iger's letter that guests can also opt for a card that
"contains a short-range chip whose location cannot be detected by the long-range readers stationed in the park. We also plan to provide the option for such guests to use the Fast Pass system by simply providing basic contact information (name & email address)."
That alone could have some people asking "Why does Disney need my email address to let me ride Thunder Mountain with less of a wait?"
I'm not one of those people. As a very long-term passholder, I have known for decades that Disney has long collected my address, phone number, email address, etc. It is for tracking, ID & marketing purposes.
I get that. Frankly, I personally am not worried that Big Mickey and his MagicBand are going to personally target me for ill. Supporters point out that Disney already has many security cameras, and can track my non-cash purchases already. Mickey already knows from my annual pass exactly when and how often I go to each park.
Yes, eventually, Disney will likely end up using this new MyMagic+ information to send me offers based on demand (10% off at Morocco's quick service restaurant because I am in the area and business is slow). But, from what I understand, most of the data will be used to analyze guest habits on a big-picture scale: crowd patterns, the effectiveness of certain shops, etc. It will also likely be used for cost-cutting by more precise staffing: "Ok -- 5 guests went to the Hall of Presidents in the first hour of park opening. Maybe it shouldn't open until 11 a.m.", etc.
All of that said, I understand why parents have legitimate questions. I wonder how effective Iger's letter was at helping ease their concerns.
You can see it printed below. I also wonder how Disney will explain to guests their options to "opt out" from a complex program many won't even know exists before arriving. Keep in mind, many many guests still struggle with the relatively simple idea of the current FastPass. There is also the language barrier for the sea of foreign guests.
Coincidentally, the touch-to-pay system with MyMagic+ just expanded today to Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Typhoon Lagoon & several more resorts.
But Disney itself is still very much tweaking, testing and changing how this first-of-its-kind system works. We'll keep you posted as it keeps moving forward.
Here's a link to my previous MyMagic+ Theme World entry "Will Big Mickey Be Watching You?"
And yesterday's Theme World post on upcoming festivals at the theme parks.

Hi everyone,
I have this piece of code that unpacks a zipfile
shellandwait ("C:\Wzunzip C:\test.zip C:\")
After this process is done I want to delete it with
Kill "C:\test.zip"
The problem is that I can not delete the zipfile because the Wzunzip process won't end. The Shellandwait funtion ensures the unpack line finishes first before resuming next code. I know this works becasue there are a few other command in between these 2 commands wich I could not do if the shellandwait function wouldn't work properly.
So here is the question:
How can I end the Wzunzip.exe process so I can delete that horrible zip file afterwords? Oh, I work with VBA.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Best regards,

Van Gaal: Possession is key
Louis van Gaal hit out at his players for almost allowing Roma to break his 100 per cent record as Manchester United manager.
Van Gaal made it two wins from two as United boss thanks to a 3-2 win over the Italian giants in the Colorado heat.
Unlike in their 7-0 thrashing of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Van Gaal's men were slow off the mark and Roma wasted numerous opportunities to go ahead.
Wayne Rooney scored twice and Juan Mata also got on the score sheet with a stunning goal, but Roma fought back in the second half with two strikes - the first of which came from 60 yards.
Van Gaal was annoyed with the way his team failed to close the game out after going 3-0 up, but he thinks the fact that the game took place in 30 degree heat, some 5280 feet above sea level, did not help his players.
"I think we don't play a good match," Van Gaal said.
"All my good passers failed today. I think it was because of the height and the air.
"Mata, (Ander) Herrera and (Shinji) Kagawa these are the best passers (at the club), and everything went wrong.
"In the second half we forgot to keep the ball.
"When you are 3-0 ahead the only thing you have to do is keep the ball in possession and the opponent has to run and run and run.
"We forgot to do that. We brought Roma by ourselves back into the match so I am pleased we have won, but it was not good."
Rooney collected the ball from Mata and curled a stunning shot over Lukasz Skorupski from 25 yards to put United ahead.
The England striker then returned the favour, firing a 45-yard ball over the Roma defence to Mata, who killed the ball with his first touch before superbly lifting it over Skorupski.
A clumsy foul by Mehdi Benatia on Danny Welbeck allowed Rooney to add his second from the penalty spot.
Van Gaal was reluctant to single anyone out for praise, but he could not hide his admiration for Rooney's performance.
"The pass of Rooney to Mata was unbelievable," said Van Gaal, who withdrew the England striker, along with eight others at half-time.
Van Gaal was not so happy with Amos for letting in Miralem Pjanic's 60-yard shot.
Pjanic spotted Amos well off his line in the second half and punted a looping shot over the 24-year-old goalkeeper.
When asked whether he regarded the goal as a wonder strike by Pjanic or an error on the part of his substitute, Van Gaal said with a smile: "What do you think?
"I am nearly 63. When the ball is flying in the air for four seconds, I think I run 50 metres."
Roma coach Rudi Garcia was stunned by the 60-yard effort.
"It was a world-class goal," he said.
"I am sure we will see it throughout (the) world. He probably had a training session yesterday with the Denver Broncos."
Van Gaal, meanwhile, played down suggestions that he does not see Wilfried Zaha as part of his first-team plans.
Zaha is the only player in Van Gaal's 26-man squad not to feature in this tour of the USA.
But the former Holland boss says he has no issues with the forward, who was loaned to Cardiff last January.
"I have a lot of players in (his) position," Van Gaal added.
"Our squad is not balanced.
"Maybe Zaha will be picked because he is working good and hard, and is doing all I require and demand. There is no problem (with him)."
Van Gaal and his squad fly to Washington DC on Sunday ahead of their next match in the International Champions Cup against Inter Milan, which takes place on Tuesday.

Watch the 'Glee' 'I Kissed a Girl' Promo
Next week, the 'Glee' kids will lock lips — Katy Perry style. The new episode, 'I Kissed a Girl,' doesn't air until Nov. 22, but thankfully, we've got a short promo to tide ya over 'til then.
Per usual, the 26-second clip is fully loaded with information, so give us a minute while we process things. For starters, New Directions are understandably worried about their ex-member, ex-friend Santana. You see, in the 'Mash Off' ep, Finn accidentally outed her sexual preference — something which she had yet to share with many people, much less the whole school. Now that the broken news has spread to a city-wide story, she's more off the hook than ever … And not in the good way.
Also in the 'I Kissed a Girl' episode, poor Coach Beiste catches her coach crush on a date with Sue, of all people. And, while others find love (Emma and Will lock lips!), the New Directions ladies lay down a sexy choir room rendition of Katy Perry's first hit song — you guessed it — 'I Kissed a Girl.'
Just as the teaser cuts off, Puck is about to spill a secret to Quinn, and while we're not psychic, we're thinking maybe he did the dirty with Ms. Corcoran. Next week should be a good one for 'Glee'!

As with a dock for any other phone, the EVO dock is no exception to the rule of not playing nicely with cases or extended batteries of any sort, provided they add even a millimeter of thickness to the bottom of the phone.Read More

BCS standings analysis: FSU's stay at No. 2 could be brief
If the names were stripped off the uniforms and all biases of history and preseason predictions removed, no team in the country has looked more complete this season than Florida State.
But to get to the Bowl Championship Series title game, the Seminoles are fighting a battle, not just against their reputation as underachievers the last few years but against the two programs who started the year ranked ahead of them in the human polls and still sit there, refusing to budge from the top two spots.
BCS:Full standings
Florida State came in at No. 2 on Sunday in the initial BCS standings, behind only Alabama. But that spot could be short-lived as Oregon, which is ranked second in the human polls, will get a strength-of-schedule infusion over the next three weeks. If the Ducks can beat UCLA and Stanford, 12th and sixth in the BCS standings, respectively, Florida State could very well be back to third place, hoping to somehow convince voters to move them in front of Oregon.
The Seminoles do have a bit of history on their side. In all but two of the previous 15 seasons of the BCS, one of the top two teams in the first set of standings has gone on to play for the title.
"I think we have a heck of a team, we've got a lot of ball to play and if we keep taking care of our business, the country will see and we'll get to where we've got to go," Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said following a dominant 51-14 victory at Clemson, which came into the game fourth in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. "I'm not scared to play anyone. We've got a good team."
TOP 25 STOCK WATCH:Biggest jumps, dips in Coaches Poll
The victory at Clemson made enough of an impression for Florida State to leapfrog Ohio State into the No. 3 spot in the coaches poll and Harris Poll, which count for two-thirds of the BCS formula. But what lifted the Seminoles ahead of Oregon in the BCS standings are the six computer ratings, which ranked Florida State first and Oregon fourth.
More than anything, though, Florida State's performance Saturday sets up a legitimate debate as the season drags on. While few will quibble with Alabama at No. 1, the Seminoles' goal now should be forcing voters to take a closer look each week and consider whether Oregon truly deserves the No. 2 spot.
It could be a close call if all three remain unbeaten, and the strength of the Pac-12 might ultimately keep Oregon ahead of the Seminoles no matter what. But if Florida State is impressive again Nov. 2 when it hosts Miami (the Hurricanes are seventh in the BCS), it would have two wins to trump anything the Ducks have accomplished thus far.
WEEK 8:Winners and losers
Even after the loss Saturday, Clemson sits ninth, giving the Atlantic Coast Conference three teams in the top 10 for the first time since Oct. 31, 2005, when Virginia Tech was third, Miami sixth and Florida State ninth.
Meanwhile, one league is not making the same impact on the national race as it usually does: the Southeastern Conference. Whereas the SEC dominated last season, finishing with six of the top 10 in the final BCS standings, it only has two representatives in the initial top 10 of 2013 with Alabama at No. 1 and Missouri at No. 5. Auburn comes in at No. 11, LSU at No. 13 and Texas A&M at No. 16.
Unlike previous years, where there was a distinct separation between the top tier and everybody else, parity has arrived in the SEC. At 7-0, Missouri has been the nation's biggest surprise; meanwhile, all the expected contenders aside from Alabama already have at least two losses and are essentially eliminated from BCS title contention.
The BCS standings also reflect the difficult road Ohio State has to get to the national title game, even if it remains unbeaten. Ranked fourth by the human polls and fifth by the computers, the Buckeyes have just one victory against a currently ranked team (No. 24 Wisconsin) and won't play another until Nov. 30 at No. 23 Michigan. That means Ohio State simply won't have an opportunity to boost its computer numbers or change the perception of its schedule.
It's quite possible Ohio State, which was 12-0 last season but was operating under an NCAA-mandated postseason ban, could win every game yet again and still not play for a national title. At this point, the Buckeyes' best, and maybe only, hope is for teams in front of them to lose.

Cable and Rod Displays
Cable and Rod Displays are the ideal way to create modern and effective wall or window displays. They are most commonly found in estate agents window displays but are perfect for a variety of industries.
Cable and rod display systems can be mounted from floor to ceiling or attached to a wall, making them very versatile. Depending on the model you go for, our Cable and Rod Displays let you attach acrylic poster pockets to either solid metal rods or steel wires.
They're available in various sizes, which include both portrait and landscape poster pockets made from high quality acrylic, and take all sizes of paper including A0, A1, A2, A3 and A4.
What are cable and rod displays?
Cable and rod display systems let you present posters and other information using your walls or shop windows. They use either stainless steel rods or steel cables to suspend acrylic poster frames. They've become the industry standard shop window display for estate agents and are hugely popular with hairdressers too.
What are the benefits of these suspended cable window display kits?
The main advantage is that they let you make use of your window and wall space to display information that would otherwise be hard to present. Estate agent displays need to show off lots of information on their properties and these cable and rod display systems let them do that both in their shop window display as well as on the wall. As these shop window displays are double sided, you can let potential customers view content from inside and outside your business.
How do cable display systems work?
Cable display systems use a pair of steel cables to suspend poster pockets vertically either within your shop window or against your wall. The bottom of the cables are fixed to your floor while the tops are attached to the ceiling. The cables are then tightened and the poster pockets are attached using stand off locators which screw tight onto the cable. These multi panel poster displays are much easier to install than they look!
How do rod display systems work?
Rod display systems use a stainless steel threaded rod instead of a steel cable. The stainless steel threaded rods are usually around 1.5m in length and can be screwed together to allow you to install the rod display system in a room up to 3m in height. The rods can be cut to height using a hacksaw, making installation fairly straightforward. Like our suspended cable window display kits, we offer a range of cable rod accessories to let you attach poster pockets and leaflet dispensers to your wall display.
Window displays buying guide
A window display is visible to passing trade 24/7 so needs to be optimised to achieve maximum results. A well thought out window display can help boost your footfall and turn passers-by into customers.
What size poster pockets can I add to my cable and rod display systems?
Our suspended cable window display kits and wall and window mounted rod display systems can be used with posters of many sizes. When you buy your rod or cable system you'll need to decide what size posters you want to display and what orientation you want the posters displayed in.
We sell everything from portrait and landscape A4 - our most popular size for estate agent displays - right up to massive A0 poster displays which are great for showcasing larger posters.
What cable and rod accessories are available?
As well as double-sided acrylic pockets into which you can insert your posters, we also manufacture leaflet holders and a huge range of vertical grips and rod grips to make installation easy in virtually any setting.
Are LED illuminated window displays offered?
Yes, we have a number of LED illuminated cable display kits on offer for installation in your shop window display. These are considered the most effective displays for estate agents as they stand out so well. When combined with our special backlit poster paper they produce a vibrant image sharper than a computer screen.
The eye catching quality of illuminated rod and cable window displays make them ideal for businesses on the high street, adding a high quality, professional appearance.

Addicted To Their Mother's Drugs September 10, 2012Posted by ToYourHealth in Public Health.
Tags: NAS, Neonatal withdrawal, Pill-pipeline, Prenatal care, Prescription medication, Public health, Public health epidemic, Substance dependence, Teen drug use, Withdrawal treatment
In Tennessee the number of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) cases doubled from 2010 to 2011. Kentucky has seen a three-fold increase. Twelve thousand NAS babies are born every year in Washington. Maine's opiate use is 8.6 times higher than the national average.
At least two Florida counties have lax regulations regarding ease of obtaining and filling prescriptions. Rates in Broward County have quadrupled, and Lee County has seen a 657% increase since 2005. These counties draw out-of-towners and have become the base for the 1,000 mile "Pill-Pipeline" running from Florida to Kentucky along Interstate-75, spiking rates of NAS along that route.
No neighborhood is immune, it seems, to the ever-growing demand and physician compliance for chronic pain medications. The resulting NAS epidemic devours states' Medicaid funds and places a heavy burden on social services. This epidemic is 100% preventable by mothers choosing to abstain either from drugs or from unprotected sex while addicted.
A mother's 20-minute high creates the same prolonged response in the baby over a two-week period. Stopping drug use during pregnancy is not recommended, as the babies may experience fatal seizures in utero. Babies suffer withdrawal because they have been continually exposed to drugs before birth and no longer receive them after birth. Within hours to days they exhibit withdrawal symptoms seen in high-pitched constant shrieking, tremors and inability to feed. The average age of addicted mothers is 17-25.
This week we welcome an interview with a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who is employed by Pediatric Interim Care Center. This unique non-profit organization is a 24-hour care facility created with the intent to assist medically fragile newborns suffering from NAS. Due to the sensitive nature of her work, I am withholding her name from this publication.
Q: Do you find that the majority of your infants are suffering from prescription drug dependence?
A: Toxicology reports are only 60% accurate so we can't identify all the drugs. Depending on the drugs and the mixture of drugs, some can be identified. Some examples are the tremors of meth and heroine-dependent babies. Because more meth makers no longer use a purification process, when the baby stools, the chemicals excreted burn the babies' bottoms. Cocaine-dependent babies tend to be much calmer than babies with no drug dependency, but they never feel hungry so we have to train/teach them to eat. It's extremely important to keep them on a feeding schedule so they learn to be hungry. The most that I have seen in one baby are 10-15 different drugs, but this is according to the mother's reported use.
Q: How long does an infant's withdrawal treatment usually last?
A: Withdrawal depends on length of use during pregnancy and on the mixture of drugs. Some withdrawals are not apparent until baby is a couple weeks old. The treatment could be three weeks or three months.
Q: Are there other organizations like PICC? Is PICC used when NICU/hospital benefits run out?
A: PICC is the only center of its kind. Many states have contacted [us for] help because hospital staff aren't trained and become overwhelmed. Here in Washington, it is cheaper to send babies to PICC versus staying in a hospital. State funded medical assistance will pay for a mother's recovery but not a baby's.
Q: How do you calm and treat the babies?
A: The babies are in pain, like any user who is trying to recover from addiction. We treat the harsh cases with morphine to help with the withdrawal, we hold them, keep them swaddled, and love them.
Thank you for your candid look into caring for NAS babies.
Every day, 2,200 youth ages 12-17 use a pain reliever for the first time. More teens abuse illicit drugs than any other drug except for marijuana. Seventy percent of the prescription drugs come from a friend or relative with 56% of those being given for free. Only 4% are purchased from a drug dealer.
The amount of prescribed medication from physicians for chronic pain is at an all-time high. Some of these are highly addictive, and frequently adults carelessly leave them in cabinets after they no longer need them. Among 12 and 13 year-olds, prescriptions drugs are the drug of choice because of their availability.
This begins the downward spiral resulting in neonatal abstinence syndrome, with 75% of addicted mothers not receiving prenatal care, and a resulting 50% increase in children requiring foster care. Furthermore, current policies allow funding for maternal treatment of addiction, but not for their babies. Developmental delays and behavioral issues are common but not a guarantee.
This epidemic is too new to have any long-term study results, but PICC has seen several of their babies continue on to graduate high school, ever-grateful for the help they received as infants.

Andrew Pisker's 250 California wins Pebble Beach and MSN Autos' 2010 People's Choice Award
Maranello, 18th August 2010 – A Ferrari 250 California has won the prestigious People's Choice Award at Pebble Beach in California. The beautiful SWB version, with the Authenticity Certificate awarded by the Ferrari Classiche Department in Maranello received almost 100,000 votes from the readers of the MSN Autos site, which was the event's partner. They chose the 250 California as the most beautiful of all the cars entered in this year's edition of the classic American concours d'elegance.
Built in 1961, this particular 250 California was discovered in Canada by collector Andrew Pisker and then restored to its original condition as well as being given a classic Azzurro Metalizzato livery. The car's stunning beauty captured the public imagination at the concours d'elegance, much to the delight of its very proud owner who summed its character up very succinctly, by declaring: "It's a car that means open motoring in the sunshine". This is, of course, a theme dear to the Prancing Horse's heart as Maranello recently revisited its drop-top tradition with the Ferrari California, a model that combines extraordinary performance and driving emotions with superb comfort and versatility.

FUKUSHIMA, Japan, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Puddles of water with high radiation levels were found near storage tanks on the premises of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The radiation level measured about 19 inches above the water was about 100 millisieverts per hour, Tepco said.
Tepco said about 31 gallons of the toxic water has so far leaked from one of the storage tanks, but said it hadn't flowed into the Pacific Ocean.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority ordered an investigation to discover if the radioactive water had escaped into the ocean through nearby drains, Kyodo News reported Monday.
Meanwhile, Tepco estimated about 300 tons of highly radioactive water have leaked from one of the storage tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, but also denied toxic water was flowing into the Pacific Ocean.
The plant said it hasn't yet identified from where the water is escaping.
"We think the leakage is continuing," Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono said.
The Fukushima nuclear power plant was damaged during Japan's March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Most gardeners know that vegetable crops need fertilizer to produce well, but sometimes the questions of what kind, when and how much can cause confusion.
The nutrients your leafy greens need are available in commercial fertilizers such as 5-10-10 or 10-10-10, and in organic fertilizers like bonemeal, bloodmeal and dehydrated manures. The numbers 5-10-10 or 10-10-10 refer to the percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the bag of fertilizer. They're always listed in that order, too: N-P-K.Nitrogen
Nitrogen is essential to all growing vegetation for healthy, dark green leaves. Phosphorus helps plants grow strong roots and potassium or potash conditions the whole plant, helping it to bear fruit and resist disease. A balanced diet is important for plants, but remember that you really want to encourage quick, steady leaf growth. Nitrogen is the key here. It gives salad crops their dark green color and encourages stems and leaves to grow.
Of course, plants need more than just the three major plant nutrients to grow normally. Secondary plant nutrients, such as magnesium, and some minor elements, such as zinc and iron, are also important, but usually needed only in small quantities. Most soils contain these minor elements, but mixing compost or other organic matter, such as composted manure, into the soil helps to insure their presence.
It's best to apply a complete chemical fertilizer shortly before planting time because you want the nitrogen it contains to be readily available to your young plants.How to Apply
To apply fertilizer, spread 10 pounds of composted manure or two to three pounds of 5-10-10 or other complete fertilizer per 100 square feet. (If the fertilizer you use has a higher percentage of nitrogen - in other words, if the first number is greater than 5 - use correspondingly less fertilizer. For example, 10-10-10 contains twice as much nitrogen as 5-10-10, so you would use half as much.)
Toss the fertilizer over an area as evenly as possible. You don't want to get a lot of the commercial fertilizer or dried manure in one place. Always mix the fertilizer into the top two to three inches of soil before planting. Seeds are sensitive and can get burned by any fertilizer that touches them, so spreading it evenly and mixing it into the soil prevents any trouble.

Date: October 30, 1998
In the closing days of the 105th Congress, several bills of interest were passed. Below are provision descriptions of interest to SSA.

On October 20, 1998, H.R. 4151 was presented to the President for his signature. The bill was passed in the Senate by unanimous consent on October 14 and by voice vote in the House on October 7, 1998. The bill:
- Provides criminal penalties (to be determined by the U.S. Sentencing Commission) for any person who knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority the means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law or that constitutes a felony under any applicable Stale or local law;
- Defines "means of identification" to include name, social security number, date of birth, official State or government issued driver 's license or identification number, alien registration number, government passport number, and employer or taxpayer identification number; and

The matching funds are excluded.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich
July 19, 2001 - Volume 1 Issue 35
Here's some news I can't seem to find in the mainstream media: Gasoline prices are down, down, down! Virginia's gasoline prices have dropped dramatically, yet nowhere can you find any mention of this amazing development. Would the news of it make George W. Bush look good?
As I drove through various Virginia counties this past weekend, picking up and dropping off my children at summer camp, I was amazed to find that in some places gas prices had slipped to $1.40 a gallon for unleaded fuel. A friend called earlier and told me that in Georgia, a gallon costs only $1.15. The other day, while I was visiting a friend's boat, I found that high-test gas had dropped a whopping 20 cents per gallon, as compared to last month.
What ever happened to the dire predications of $3.00 a gallon by summer? Where have all the "hysterical" hand wringers gone? At the peak of the hysteria, some federal government officials agreed to revisit the issue of gas guzzling SUVs - see how easy it is to get the federal government to react? Just become emotional, hysterical and ignore the facts. Washington will capitulate because it always does.
My family and I are heading out on a lengthy summer road trip so, of course, I'm thinking about gas prices and how they will impact the other things we want to do as we travel along. Yes, we're driving one of those hated SUVs, and yes, it is equipped with a cell phone.
I've noticed as I drive along in our large, black truck that the so-called politically correct cars are in abundance these days. I notice them because I fear for the safety of the drivers and passengers of what I refer to as "jelly bean" cars. I will confess that I had a small sports coupe at one time, but the "fear nothing" attitude that seems to come with the ownership of those cars was left in the dust of my youth.
Today I can't image having an accident in one of those death traps. The fact is if you insist on driving one, whether you crash into a tree, an SUV, or into another "jelly bean" car, you're going to be injured at the very least! Most people are aware that consumer reports say those who drive economy-size vehicles are at risk.
I guess it goes to show that members of the Green movement care more about your use of fossil fuels than your life or the safety of your children. They insist car manufacturers make those poorly constructed, weakly protected vehicles due to their belief that these economy cars will yield positive impact on the environment. Maybe they will, if you don't count the death and injuries to humans that result. We have more humans than we know what to do with. We don't have enough whales and baby seals, though. Right?
There is no question that low-income folks are drawn to these "economy priced cars," but it is often out of necessity. Personally, I would never allow a loved one of mine to purchase or ride in a car that is equivalent to an eggshell on wheels. I believe it is a disservice to everyone if we allow the poorly informed to think they are safe behind the wheel of a "jelly bean" car. We are responsible to tell them the truth! Having wheels and tin foil doors does not make it a car!
Another point that comes to mind when writing about cars is the recent legislation passed in New York. Banning the use of cell phones in cars was not only passed by New York legislators, but it is also being considered by other states. I believe there are people out there who cannot multi-task, therefore, they should not use cell phones.
I was talking to a friend the other day who was highly in favor of outlawing the use of cell phones in cars. I pointed out that it was not the phone itself, but the dialing and conversations that were responsible for the wrecks. She was not to be dissuaded because she made her stand based on her emotions. The fact that she drives an economy-sized vehicle proves this point all the more. Her fear is that an SUV with a cell phone will end up flattening her like a pancake. The fear this woman has from SUVs and multi-taskers sets demands that interfere and possibly even cripple progress made by those who can do two things at one time. The emotional protests of victims does not always constitute a new law to be passed. Rational, fair and quantified principles are at the very root of the America legislative process. Why do so many insist otherwise?
Frankly I'm tired of fighting with emotional people who let the lack of facts get in the way of what they demand for the rest of us. I'm joining them! I know it's too late for this road trip, but next time I go out for a long drive, I want to see that all "ECC" is banned. What's ECC? It is Eye-Contact Conversations inside a vehicle. Ever notice how some drivers cannot carry on a conversation with passengers unless they maintain steady eye contact with them?
These people drive me nuts because they are not watching the road and are usually surprised when the car in front of them makes a quick stop. They slam on their brakes and create a very dangerous situation for all the cars following behind. They may not have a cell phone, but they are distracted. At least the cell phone users are looking at the road most of the time, even if they are having a conversation with that "dream-boat" guy they met last night.
How about all those make-up artists, map readers, cigarette lighters - especially the ones who discover the lit end has just dropped into their laps. Oh, and those burger eaters who eat and drink with both hands, therefore, steering the car with their elbow or knees. Ever see one of those? There ought to be a law on that for sure!
Rest assured, sooner or later they'll have a law banning everything, because the stupid and very stupid among us cannot moderate their own behavior. As one friend of mine so wisely says, "ignorance can be fixed, but stupidity is forever." In order for the "Nanny State" to make it safer for us all, everyone else's liberties must be sacrificed until there are no more freedoms left to enjoy.
I used to believe that driving my car down the Interstate was one of the last, pure freedoms available to the average American citizen. Since "Road Rage," "Gas-Guzzling SUV hatred," banning of the dreaded cell phone, and all the other attentions paid to driving by the hand wringers, mommy dearest's and do-gooders, I've changed by mind.
All these laws are nothing more than "affirmative action" for the stupid and slow thinking single-taskers who are jealous and intimidated by those of us who can chew gum and walk down the street at the same time.
Freedom on the road is just a distant memory!
Oops, I just ran a red light while recording my thoughts for this summertime essay. The camera at the intersection snapped the evidence - I'm busted! Can the police surveillance helicopters be far behind? I'd better slow down or the radar photo box will get me.
Better yet, forget the road trip. There must be something I can do to have fun where my "Big Brother" and my ever-present "Nanny" are not watching!

Here's a natural response to a Republican challenger's attack on you supporting Barack Obama's nomination of Eric Holder:
Yeah, well, you're a creepy old man following my 14-year-old daughter on Twitter.
Such was the case in Nebraska, where State Treasurer Don Stenberg and Attorney General Jon Bruning produced some fireworks in the first debate in the race for the Republican nomination for a Nebraska Senate seat.
Bruning signed a letter in 2009 along with 29 other state attorney generals supporting Obama's appointment of Holder to the office of U.S. attorney general. This has been grounds for Stenberg to attack him on the issue, charging Bruning with the whole "not-being-a-true-Conservative" accusation. Stenberg did so again on Tuesday.
That's when it got heated and a little weird.
About 50 seconds into that video, you can see where things turn personal. Bruning doesn't respond to the Holder accusation, instead launching into a diatribe of how "creepy" he thought it was that Stenberg tried to follow his daughter on Twitter.
This Sunday, my daughter walks in, and she says, "Don Stenberg's trying to follow me on Twitter." My daughter's 14 years old. Now you tell me -- I'd like to know, why does a 62-year-old man want to follow a 14-year-old girl on Twitter? I'd really like to know. She said, "Dad, that's kind of creepy."
Bruning added that it was "kind of weird." Stenberg responded by saying that a spokesman for his campaign, Dan Parsons, runs the campaign's Twitter account. Bruning said -- a lot -- that his daughter is 14. Fourteen fourteen fourteen fourteen fourteen.
At the last mention of 14, Stenberg shrugged his shoulders and looked rather irritated. He then said he would contact Parsons and "make sure that post gets taken down," but he does not use Twitter, so that actually means that they would stop following her on Twitter.
Parsons told the Omaha World-Herald that he wasn't sure how the campaign had followed her, and it was perhaps done "inadvertently." But it does follow more than 1,650 people on Twitter.

TXU's Troubles Prove Boon for Advisers
The troubled mega leveraged buyout that restructuring mavens have been waiting for appears headed their way, and lawyers and bankers are snatching up clients.
The latest law firm to join the list of advisers working on the former TXU Corp., the struggling Texas power company, is Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Creditors of the company, now known as Energy Future Holdings Corp., tapped the firm to negotiate with the company and its private-equity owners, said people familiar with the matter.
KKR & Co., TPG and others took the power company private in a record $45 billion buyout including debt in 2007. The buyers assumed the cost of natural gas would rise, but prices have fallen and led to financial losses and the potential for one of the largest debt-restructurings or bankruptcies ever.
Energy Future has said it has worked with a number of "outside parties" to advise it and continues to evaluate alternatives to address its capital structure.
Meanwhile, Jim Millstein, the former U.S. Treasury aide who spearheaded the government-led restructuring of giant insurer American International Group Inc., has also been tapped to advise the creditors. The creditors, which hold debt of a major subsidiary of the company, include Apollo Global Management LLC, Oaktree Capital Management, Centerbridge Partners, Franklin Templeton Investments and Fidelity Investments, the people said.

A nip here, a tuck there. The 2015 Ford Focus ST is still the ST you've come to know and love, just sharpened. Which means it's probably still awesome.
The 2015 ST is not "all-new" or even "pretty much new." Instead, it's been honed and sharpened. Kind of like a Ginsu knife. Yes, now it can cut a boot in half.
Ford sent us a list of what's new, and the majority of it seems very, very minor. It includes things like a new front and rear fascia, new wheel designs, standard HID headlights and Recaro seats on the ST2 and ST3, new colors, LED lighting, stripes, and a freshened interior.
The mostly cosmetic updates also add recalibrated electric steering, new shocks and springs, and, well, that's about it. The turbo mill under the hood still puts out a healthy 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
Other than that, it's the hot hatch you know and love. Which means it's still awesome. The new car makes its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.

LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix, with a focus
on high performance and good code. The library differentiates itself
from other implementations by transfering directly from file pages to
the network stack. On high-bandwidth connections it is able to seed at
3 times the speed of the official client.
This requires: libsigc++

This report presents the main ideas underlyingtheOmegaGamma mkrp-system, an environmentfor the development of mathematical proofs. The motivation for the development ofthis system comes from our extensive experience with traditional first-order theoremprovers and aims to overcome some of their shortcomings. After comparing the benefitsand drawbacks of existing systems, we propose a system architecture that combinesthe positive features of different types of theorem-proving systems, most notably theadvantages of human-oriented systems based on methods (our version of tactics) andthe deductive strength of traditional automated theorem provers.In OmegaGamma mkrp a user first states a problem to be solved in a typed and sorted higher-order language (called POST ) and then applies natural deduction inference rules inorder to prove it. He can also insert a mathematical fact from an integrated data-base into the current partial proof, he can apply a domain-specific problem-solvingmethod, or he can call an integrated automated theorem prover to solve a subprob-lem. The user can also pass the control to a planning component that supports andpartially automates his long-range planning of a proof. Toward the important goal ofuser-friendliness, machine-generated proofs are transformed in several steps into muchshorter, better-structured proofs that are finally translated into natural language.This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 314 (D2, D3)
Typical examples, that is, examples that are representative for a particular situationor concept, play an important role in human knowledge representation and reasoning.In real life situations more often than not, instead of a lengthy abstract characteriza-tion, a typical example is used to describe the situation. This well-known observationhas been the motivation for various investigations in experimental psychology, whichalso motivate our formal characterization of typical examples, based on a partial orderfor their typicality. Reasoning by typical examples is then developed as a special caseof analogical reasoning using the semantic information contained in the correspondingconcept structures. We derive new inference rules by replacing the explicit informa-tion about connections and similarity, which are normally used to formalize analogicalinference rules, by information about the relationship to typical examples. Using theseinference rules analogical reasoning proceeds by checking a related typical example,this is a form of reasoning based on semantic information from cases.

Hundreds of firefighters respond to call for help in Burlington
More than 85 fire departments and 300 firefighters from near and far responded to the fire in Burlington.
Many rotated through the night despite the dangerous conditions.
The message on the side of a Burlington Fire Department rig is "We all came out together," and that is just what they did to fight the fire tearing through Echo Lake Foods for more than 12 hours.
"Obviously, when you get a big fire like this, especially with the temperatures, and all that, it's very cold out there, and the work just gets abuse on the guys, and we're here to swap people out," said Brian Heine of Helenville.
Heine and his crew from Helenville got the early morning call and didn't hesitate to gear up and drive an hour from Jefferson County, and it's not their full-time job.
"Most all these departments here are all volunteer, missing work and all that just to help out with the scene," Heine said.
It's the same reason why Patrick Prohuska, with Williams Bay's fire department, was here, too.
"It's a commitment, but you do what you do," Prohuska said. .
The North Shore Fire Department was part of the team that was pumping water from the lake. They sent it through lines all the way up to tankers closer to the fire.
The weather didn't make it easy, freezing hoses and winds whipping off the water.
"It's brutal. The guys here made a wind stop to cut the wind down. We're doing OK," North Shore Fire Department Capt. Mike Weber said.

|Argentina Research Topics

|Argentina Background
|Local Research Resources
Guide to Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur family history and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, church records, parish registers, and civil registration.
See FamilySearch Tutorials on Latin American Research.
Most of your genealogical research for Argentina will be in two main record types: civil registration and church records. This article will teach you methods for locating and searching these two record groups.
Civil registration records are kept at the local municipal district civil registration office (Dirección del Registro Civil). Therefore, you must determine the municipal district where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. The original book stays in the municipal office and duplicate copies are sent to the provincial or judicial archives of the province or the General Archive of the Tribunal in the federal district. Therefore, duplicates may also be available at the provincial level. If a letter to the town/city fails, write to the provincial office.
Your ancestor may have lived in a village that belonged civilly to a larger nearby town. In large cities, there may be many civil registration districts. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it. See Diccionario geográfico estadístico nacional argentino (1885). Although this gazetteer is in Spanish, the province is listed immediately after the name of the town.
Civil officials will generally answer correspondence in Spanish. Use the following address:
Dirección del Registro Civil
Oficina de Inscripciones y Rectificaciones
(*postal code) (City), (Province), Argentina
These archives maintain the duplicates sent to them by the municipal districts. You may write to these archives and request searches of the records. The public has access to these records. For the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antartida e Islas del Atlantico Sur, you will need to write to the following address:
Registro Provincial de las Personas
Gobernador Campos 1465, Tita 7, Casa 42
CP 9410 Ushuaia
Telefono: 02901 4 37049
After deciding who has jurisdiction over the records for the time period you need, write a brief request to the proper office. Send the following:
Write your request in Spanish whenever possible. For writing your letter in Spanish, use the translated questions and phrases in this Spanish Letter-writing Guide.
The vast majority of Argentines were Catholic and were registered in the records of the local parish or diocese which are called registros parroquiales (parish registers). These records include entries for baptisms, marriage information, marriages, deaths, and burials. Often two and sometimes three generations are indicated in the records. In addition, church records may include church censuses, account books, confirmations, and other church-related records.
Church records are crucial for genealogical research, since civil authorities did not begin registering vital statistics until after 1886. After this date one should search in both church and civil records as there may be information in one that does not appear in the other. For instance the church records may only list the godparents whereas the civil records may list the grandparents.
For some localities, digital copies of Catholic church records can be searched online:
Bautismos are infant baptisms, which are used for birth information. Información matrimonial are documents collected in preparation for a marriage. Matrimônios' are marriages. Defunciones are deaths. Entierros are burials'". Índice is the index.
If the locality and time period you need are not included in the online records, the next step is to find them in the microfilm collection of the Family History Library. Currently, they are being digitized, and plans are to complete that project by 2020. Check back occasionally to see if your records have become available. In the meantime, some of them might be available at a Family History Center near you.
To find a microfilm:
Baptism, marriage, and death records may be searched by contacting or visiting local parish or diocese archives in Argentina. Argentina has no single repository of church records. Write your request in Spanish whenever possible. This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.
Write a brief request in Spanish to the proper church using this address as guide replacing the information in parentheses:
When requesting information, send the following:
Write your request in Spanish whenever possible. For writing your letter in Spanish, use the translated questions and phrases in this Spanish Letter-writing Guide.]
Effective use of church records includes the following strategies.

Today's New York Times reports that conditions are improving at China's infamous Foxconn plant. For this, they credit: Foxconn management for raising salaries and cutting overtime; anonymous "critics" of Foxconn management; "labor rights groups"; an audit by the Fair Labor Association; and, by the transitive property, Apple, for requesting the audit.
Oddly enough, the only people to not get any credit at all are the workers at the plant. This despite the fact that we're only talking about Foxconn right now because hundreds of the plant's employees threatened mass suicide in protest of appalling labor conditions.
In other words, that higher pay and reduced overtime is a concession that the workers won through a remarkable act of defiance and solidarity. That sounds like a pretty good story! How odd that the Times decided to tell a different story, in which the workers are merely passive objects. (Even the article's single oblique acknowledgement of worker agency is framed in the passive tense: "Foxconn facilities in China have experienced a series of worker suicides." Poor Foxconn facilities!)

BALTIMORE – After hosting their first home meet in ten years, the UMBC track and field teams return to the road this weekend to continue the outdoor campaign with the Duke Invitational, starting on Friday at Wallace Wade Stadium. The two-day invitational in Durham, N.C. will begin on Friday with the women's javelin and men's hammer at noon. The track events will start at 3:30 p.m. with the 400m hurdles.
The Retrievers are coming off of a successful weekend at home in which five school records and one track record fell by the wayside at the Big Dawg Invitational. Sophomore sprinter Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) led the charge by snapping the school record in the 100m and 200m dash events, while also setting a new track record in the latter. Already the school record holder in the events, Jackson lowered her times to 11.65 in the 100m and 23.60m in the 200m, both of which rank as tops in the America East. In addition, the times currently put Jackson in a tie for 23rd and fourth in the NCAA East Region.
The sophomore is not alone however, as freshman D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md.) is third in the conference and tied for 69th regionally in the 200m (24.51) and sixth in the league in the 100m (12.19).
Sophomore Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) recorded career-best times in the 100m (12.25) and 200m (24.91) last week, but will return to the 400m event this weekend in North Carolina.
America East Most Outstanding Indoor Male Track Athlete Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) has started his outdoor season with a bang in the first two meets. At the season-opening Florida State Relays he ran a career-best 21.80 in the 200m and then last week he qualified for the IC4A meet with a time of 10.81, which ranks third in the conference.
Senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) has also met the IC4A standard already this season. The 2011 America East outdoor champion in the 110m hurdles, Proctor began his season with a 14.72 at the meet in Tallahasse, Fla. on Mar. 22, a time which ranks third in the America East and 80th regionally. Last week in Baltimore, the senior placed second in the event with a time of 14.84.
After taking second and third last week, sophomores Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) and Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) will compete in the 400m hurdles. Fogle, the school-record holder in the event (1:01.97), and Kulp rank fourth and fifth, respectively, in the conference.
The distance events will see many Retrievers returning to their specialty after adding to their repertoire last weekend. Sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion), the indoor school record holder, and junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) will lead the way in the women's 800 and will be joined by Kulp and freshman Angelina Oputa (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton). On the men's side, indoor champion Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) will hit the track.
Three throwing school records fell at the Big Dawg Invitational with junior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland), sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson), and freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) each claiming one.
In the shot put, Adantor finished second overall, but was the top-collegiate competitor, recording a record-breaking toss of 16.55m (54'3.75"). His throw slots him third in the conference and 38th in the region. The junior also ranks fourth in the conference in both the discus and hammer.
Serafenas took control of the hammer record a week ago, winning the Big Dawg competition with a throw of 56.85m (186'6"), and taking second in the America East. The sophomore also moved up in the discus record book last weekend, placing third with a conference-best heave of 48.29m (158'5"), to rank 63rd on the East Coast.
Rentzsch continued his hot start to the outdoor campaign by breaking the school javelin record for the second-straight week. His toss of 60.38m (198'1") leads the league and sits 43rd for the NCAA East Prelims.

The horrible year of death of Italian voice dubbers continues. Since the beginning of 2013 voice actors of the caliber of Claudio Fattoretto, Tonino Accolla, Giuliano Persico, Franco Fortunato, Dario De and actors with experience in dubbing as Mariangela Melato, Anna Proclemer, Aldo Reggiani and Aldo Massasso, now comes the news of the death of Antonio Guidi, born in Ferrara October 28, 1927 and passed away on Thursday, October 17.
Guidi, who had won the award Noce d'oro for Best Young Actor , he graduated with a degree in architecture in 1951, then for two years he attended the acting school of the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, directed by Giorgio Strehler, and after four seasons in the glorious theater scene in central St. Erasmus in Milan he dedicated his career to dubbing.
On to the C.I.D. from the late 1950s until the failure of the cooperative in 1973, then to CD, for the Group Thirty (now PumaisDue) and in recent years for the Milan-based company ADC GROUP, Guidi will be remembered among other things as the voice of Peter Ustinov in different films including "Evil Under the Sun" and "Death on the Nile" (as Hercule Poirot), but also in the drama "Jesus of Nazareth " (in the role of Herod), Bernard Blier in "Amici miei", "Una botta di vita", "I compagni", "Il malato immaginario" and "Il furto è l'anima del commercio"; Vincent Gardenia in "Death Wish" and "Lucky Luciano" by Donald Sutherland in "Twentieth Century" and "Un caso per tre" by Peter Falk in "Summer Storm", "Ready" , "Lights in the Heart" and
"Corky Romano" but also in TV series 1980/2000 "Colombo" , going on to the late Giampiero Albertini who had voiced the character in the first 45 episodes produced in the 1960 /70 and in the first four TV movies of 1989 /90.
On TV, he also voiced Redd Foxx in the old sitcom "Sanford and Son", and Roger Hanin in the French detective series "Commissioner Navarro."
Guidi has also been the voice of Prince John in the classic Disney animated "Robin Hood," and in recent years the voice of the Italian Professor in the animated series "Huntik - Secret & Seekers".
He also directed the dubbing of films like "The Hunting" and "Ocean of Fire - Hidalgo" and TV series such as "Early Edition".
Among his additional experiences besides dubbing, Guidi led for three years hosted, from Turin, a highly successful TV program for children based on texts from the commedia dell'arte, of which he was the author and performer in the role of Harlequin, and has participated in numerous soap opera with Macario, Raimondo Vianello and Sandra Mondaini, Gino Bramieri, Raffaele Pisu, Franca Rame, Antonella Steni, and The Quartet Cetra.
Farewell to a "Great lord of the Italian dubbing, a great actor and a man really full of enthusiasm, always correct and on time," as he recalled his fellow voice actor and dubbing director of Fiamma Izzo.
