Kim Hyun Joong to make a small-screen comeback through new drama, 'City Conquest'
After rumors in April, it seems Kim Hyun Joong will be officially making his return to the small screen.The singer who has focused mostly on his album promotions after his drama 'Playful Kiss' came to an end in 2010 has recently been confirmed for a role in 'City Conquest'.
'City Conquest' is a drama that's been adapted from the original comic by author Shin Hyung Bin. This new project brings together humanism and action, and it tells the story of main character Baek Mir who grew up resentful towards his father who left his mother and himself. He takes revenge against the evils of society which drove his family into destruction.
Kim Hyun Joong will be playing the role of Baek Mir, a strong individual who experienced all sorts of difficulties growing up without parents, but a man who becomes infinitely weak when it comes to love.
A representative from his agency Key East remarked, "Kim Hyun Joong is readily preparing to show you a more developed side of himself, as there are many fans who have been awaiting his small-screen comeback. Please look forward to it."

Kim Hyun-joong to come back with "City Conquest"?
Singer and actor Kim Hyun-joong's next comeback drama is revealing itself.
Based on an original bestselling comic book, "City Conquest" has picked Kim Hyun-joong for its leading role. As soon as he confirms to join, the drama should take a rapid spin and start right away.
Kim Hyun-joong stopped acting for more than a year after the 2010 MBC drama "Naughty Kiss". He was talked about as being cast in the drama "Speed" earlier this year but the production was postponed and naturally, foundered.
"City Conquest" is a popular 270 series comic book that was first published in 1996. Total numbers add up to a million copies sold nationwide.
Yang Yoon-ho will be directing this drama and it will be written by Hwang Joo-ha.

City Conquest grabs 10 Million USD , thanks to Kim Hyun Joong
Thanked to Kim Hyun Joong's overseas popularity, Playful Kiss which suffered disaster rating in home country was successfully sold to 11 countries in 2010.
So, It's no wonder that City Conquest, upcoming drama from Kim Hyun Joong, also successfully raised 10 million USD broadcasting rights from foreign countries such as Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, even before the filming begins.
In City Conquest, Kim Hyun Joong will play Baek Mir, a young man abandoned by his father and grows up with anger. But altho he has a wild personality, he has a soft spot in his heart for love.
City Conquest is still completing the cast and planning to start filming next July in Japan.

Kim Hyun-joong set to begin filming
After selling the rights to a drama that hasn't even gone into production, Kim Hyun-joong is finally set to start filming "City Conquest." A spokesperson for the drama said Friday the first location for shooting will be in Japan, starting on July 10 and continuing about two weeks. "The filming will take place in Nikko and Edo Wonderland in Utsunomiya.
Tochigi Prefecture has kindly promised to offer its full support, no doubt as the program is one that is gathering much attention overseas," said the spokesperson. Nikko is a city known for its historical attractions, with many shrines and temples designated as World Heritage Sites.
Other stars to take part in the drama are Nam Gung-min, Kim Seung-woo and Jung Yu-mi.
Earlier, Kim and his upcoming TV show made headlines when it was announced that four locales in Asia had signed contracts to purchase rights to the drama. By signing with Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan ahead of time, Kim made 11.8 billion won (about $10 million).

Kim Hyun Joong's Back Hug From Set of Upcoming Drama 'City Conquest'
A picture of Kim Hyun Joong giving Jung Yoo Mi a back hug has been revealed.
This picture of Kim Hyun Joong was taken during his filming of his upcoming drama 'City Conquest.' Starting from the 10th of July, 'City Conquest' was filmed for 15 days in a location in Japan. In this scene, Baek Mir (played by Kim Hyun Joong) is hugging Lee Dan Bi (played by Jung Yoo Mi) softly from the back.

Kim Hyun-joong shows his acting passion in "City Conquest"
Korean singer Kim Hyun-joong's new TV project is already creating a ripple of anticipation with an array of teaser photos being released by his agency, KEYEAST. A photo of Kim carefully monitoring his scenes on the set of "City Conquest" has been revealed in KEYEAST's press release Tuesday.
The officials noted in the statement that Kim is being praised among the staffs for always paying extra attention to his motions and practicing his action scenes with opposite actors before going into each shooting.
To build his image as a strong independent character named Baek Mir, Kim has thrown off his pretty-boy image and has been trying to give off a manly scent in "City Conquest," the officials said.
The TV adaptation of the comic of the same name by Shin Hyung-bin will center around Baek Mir going through difficulties in life as an orphan. Adding more big names to the already impressive roster, Actress Jung Yu-mi and actor Nam Goong-min are co-starring in the melodrama.
In the meantime, "City Conquest" crew has returned from shooting in Japan and is in negotiation with local broadcasting firms to decide which channel will air the new action drama.

"City Conquest" Kim Hyun-joong and Jeong Yoo-mi hug with tears
Kim Hyun-joong and Kim Yoo-mi were seen hugging. The two were seen hugging each other tightly in a scene for the drama "City Conquest". This scene was taken in Japan and the touching moment between Baek Miru (Kim Hyun-joong) and Lee Dan-bi (Jeong Yoo-mi) was expressed so beautifully.
All in all, the drama tensed up due to the hug and the emotions and seriousness of the situation can be seen through his face. This brings out the curiosity in those who are just dying to see the drama. The situation was one where they had to suddenly bring out their emotions after having run a while but Kim Hyun-joong managed to tear up and the two worked well together.
Apparently all staff were satisfied by their repeated efforts to create a complete scene.
Meanwhile, "City Conquest" stars Nam Goong-min, Kim Seung-woo, Kim Yeong-ho, Park Hyo-joon, Kim Hee-won, Choi Cheol-ho and others.

Shaheen receives Navy's highest civilian honor
February 13. 2013 11:43AM
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has received the Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award, the Navy's highest award for non-Navy civilians.
Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was recognized for her commitment to the Navy and Marine Corps.
"This award recognizes Senator Shaheen's outstanding support of the Department of the Navy," said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, who presented Shaheen the award, according to a statement from Shaheen's office.
"Senator Shaheen's willingness to chair last year's Senate Energy Committee's field hearing on board USS Kearsarge in Norfolk was just one of many examples of her vision and commitment to ensuring our Navy and Marine Corps remains the world's most formidable expeditionary force."
"There are very few things more important for our national security than a strong Navy and Marine Corps. I'm incredibly humbled and honored by their recognition," said Shaheen. "The Navy has made remarkable, cutting-edge technological advances, particularly in the field of renewable energy, that have improved their combat capabilities and their effectiveness and I'm proud to have supported their efforts all along the way. In the future I will continue working to help provide the Navy with the resources they need to remain the strongest, most capable naval power in the world."
According to Shaheen's office, in 2012, she held a hearing aboard the USS Kearsarge, a Navy's amphibious assault ship, under the jurisdiction of the Senate Energy Committee that highlighted the Navy and Marine Corps' energy advancements. The Navy's adoption of new energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies have improved the combat capabilities and effectiveness of Marines operating in remote regions of Afghanistan and reduced our nation's dependence on foreign oil, all while dramatically reducing energy costs. Shaheen has also worked in the Senate Armed Services Committee to support an additional Virginia-class submarine in the five-year federal shipbuilding budget.
Shaheen also recently joined Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, to call on Senate Leadership to protect Portsmouth Naval Shipyard from automatic budget cuts and sequestration because of the potentially serious impact these cuts could have on national defense and our economy.
Shaheen was also a lead cosponsor of an amendment last fall to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that restored the Department of Defense's ability to invest in advanced biofuels, according to the Shaheen press release.

34w, 3d. The holidays normally turn me into a slightly crazed version of myself. You can guess what's happening this time around.
When we first found out I was pregnant and due right around New Year's (a time when I specifically never wanted to have a baby because it always seemed like those birthdays get overlooked), a wise woman told me that such a due date would make the pregnancy fly by. And she was right—here I am, with less than six weeks until my due date and it almost feels like the pregnancy is an afterthought as I try to guide our family through the holiday season. Here's how it's been a bit different this year:
- A small, family-only Thanksgiving. My husband made me promise to try to cut back on my cooking (for some reason, I cannot help myself and always make a ridiculous number of dishes—and allow for virtually no help in the kitchen). Ultimately, I made: cornbread, two kinds of stuffing, two kinds of cranberry dishes, glazed carrots, broccoli, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, caramelized onion relish, and gravy (my husband did the turkey on the grill). Perhaps 11 dishes wasn't exactly what he had in mind. Of course, what would have been smarter than spending two days on my feet in the kitchen would have been to accept an invite elsewhere, but alas… (I'm hoping that my dad and his partner will offer to host Christmas dinner this year, as I can't imagine doing this all over again in a few weeks—but I also can't let go of traditions and just order in food or make a lasagna or something.)
- Instead of just an apron, I also donned a pregnancy support belt and compression socks. Sexy.
- Toasting with sparkling apple cider (sigh)
- Planning, planning, planning. In our family, we've long had a tradition of sharing Christmas lists not just with Santa but with each other. The idea is that it gives the givers a better sense of what each recipient wants or needs—but there should be enough items on the list that what's received is still a surprise. I know, I know: this strategy isn't for everyone, but it works for us. And so I sent my dad and my brother an email in mid-November asking them for their lists so that I could get my shopping done by December 1st. (I'm never this way—I usually start thinking about Christmas some time in December and am definitely not a Black Friday shopper.) I also reached out to our regular Christmas tree merchant (a local gardening store owner) last week about getting a tree for us and even ordered our Christmas cards in a timely manner too!
- Decorating, decorating, decorating. It's been a family tradition for years to decorate the Christmas tree in the evening, with Christmas music playing (my mom had a crazy big collection of it) and a nice dinner on hand (usually Indian food that my mom prepared, for what it's worth). In addition to our immediate family participating, one of my little brother's friends was always invited, and so it's meant coordinating a handful of schedules, which sometimes meant not decorating the tree until very close to Christmas. This year, I staked a claim on the first weekend in December months ago, saying that no one wanted to see me up on a ladder at 38+ weeks along (although I can't imagine anyone will allow me on a ladder at 35+ weeks this next weekend either). I think I'll allow us to order in this time around...
- Shopping, shopping, shopping. On a recent trip to Massachusetts to visit a friend, with the kids in tow we hit a toy store called A2Z Science and Learning Store. After the kids had wandered around for a good half-hour in awe of most everything, I lamented to my husband that I wished I'd had some time without them so that I could do a bit of shopping without their eyes on me. He made that happen—and I bought most of their Christmas gifts in one fell swoop. They're now hidden in the basement—and I need to make myself go wrap and re-hide them, as I don't see hunching over boxes and gift wrap getting any easier with each passing week of pregnancy.
- A heightened sense of gratitude—for the family I have, the family we're growing into, the health of our family, the health of this baby, the excellent care and support provided by my midwives, the fact that although this pregnancy has been more complicated than my last two I'm still in the running for a homebirth, and much, much more
- I'm nearly ready—ready for Christmas (although I still need to figure out when to take the kids to see Santa—specifically somewhere, at some time that won't make me lose my mind or bladder to wait in line forever), ready for this baby, ready to start our life as a family of five (gulp!) in just a few weeks. This is not the regular me—although I'm a planner, I'm also an expert procrastinator—but something (hormones?) has kicked in to remind me that this baby is coming whether I'm ready or not.
Have you been pregnant through the holidays? Did it change your usual way of doing things? Share in the comments below (and tell me I'm not alone)!

City departments must request council's approval of purchases of more than $15,000, including a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria that Amherst police asked to purchase for $21,048 from their appropriated budget funds. Ward Three councilmember Steve P'Simer immediately supported the purchase, stating that it was being made from money already budgeted for that purpose. He also staled that the police department was not using and returning $200,000 of budgeted resources this year. "We cannot allow our fleet to exceed 100,000 miles per car and feel Schools anticipate 'exce lent' that we are providing safe conditions for our officers,*' agreed mayor John Higgins. "The safety of our officers should be a number one consideration.*' But controversy came when Ward Two councilmember Ed Cowger objected to the purchase. Cowger told council that he would vote against expediting the purchase because he is wary of spending money when a shaky 2003 report card This should be a report card Amherst schools superintendent Robert Boynton will want to take home and hang on the refrigerator. School officials anticipate when the state department of education releases official data for the district report cards on Friday the Amherst schools will get a perfect 22 out of 22 standards. That would put the schools in the "excellent" rating category. "The key word is we anticipate we'll have 22 out of 22," Boynton said. "We won't know for sure until the 25th of October, but that's what we anticipate. It could be 21 out of 22. But we're really happy about that" The district report cards rate school districts largely on the basis of student performance on the state proficiency tests given to students in grades four, six, nine, 10, and 12. For each grade the test is broken down into five categories: citizenship, math, reading, science, and writing. The report card also includes standards for graduation rate and student attendance. Last year the Amherst schools were rated "effective" with a score of 23 of 27 standards on the district report card. They met the standards in each area except fourth grade citizenship, math, reading, and science. This year there were only 22 standards on the report card because the 12th grade proficiency lest scores removed from the list of standards. The 12th grade test is not required for graduation. If the schools' projection of 22 ot 22 ctandards met holds up, it would uvdiuye a marked improvement in the four* grade test scores. Harris Elementary School principsu Bbonda Neuhoff said she worked out a program to target students in need of intensive help on the proficiency teat and to provide Hut help •sing state parity money to hire three core curriculum tutors. She said the staff at Harris has been the key to the success of the program. She said they have taken f-ersonally the challenge of raising the proficiency test score*. "It's the teachers and the staff and the core curriculum tutors." Neuhoff said. "The people I work with here are so enthused about it. If I told then 'Stand on your head and teach math; it will improve test s', they'd do it." city budget and possible city layoffs loom. "I truly believe that we can't make any new purchases until we have a full understanding of what we're facing next year," he told council. He said it wouldn't do the city any good to have a fleet of cars without officers to use them, should budget hearings reveal a need to lay CONTINUED on page 8 Police chief Lonnie Dillon watches over the proceedings at City Hall as city council members debate whether to purchase a new Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser.

The board filed a complaint last week that put the ball in motion for county officials to use the justice system to force residents to comply with sanitation codes. The complaint was filed in Lorain County Common Pleas Court Tuesday and demanded a court order against 13 Amherst Township residents and several Elyria and Lorain residents. In all, 21 property owners in the dispute have failed to comply with the county's mandate to tie into the sewer system. David Kelly, Terry Podich, Mark Miller, Lenice Collett, NeUie Collett, William Dongcs, Richard Johnson, Joan Johnson, Walter Mackin, Mary Lynn Woodyard, David Mitchell, Joann Mitchell, and D Boys Four LLC were all named in the grievance. According to state law, the citizens that reside within 200 feet of the sanitary sewer line are required to connect within one year. "If the sewer goes by your house, you're required to tie in," health board attorney John S. Keressi explained. "If the sewer runs near you, it doesn't matter if you have a good septic system or not. Legislators in Ohio have decided that it's cleaner and more environmentally sound to tie in to a public sewer system. They are definitely more efficient," he said. Keressi said that the major goal of the suit against non- compliant residents is to force them to connect to the sanitary sewer, and that the county doesn't want to fine them or seek any damages from the property owners. "Basically, when we started this process this spring, we decided our goal was to get as many of the people tied in as we can," he said. He also claimed that the holdouts have not so much refused as they have just failed to comply. One of the suggested reasons is that the cost of connecting to the system may be prohibitive for some residents, running between $2,000 and $3,000. Keressi pointed out that while many of the area residents have already chosen lo tie in, the minority that are named in the lawsuit may be made up of people who have fallen through the financial cracks. "They may be people who are not quite eligible for funding aaritaanca, but don't have enough liquid money lo pay for a project like this," He also indicated that several local residents have been able io obtain assistance in the form of Lorain County Community were not included ia the suit htir—ii they are slated for CONTINUED on page 11

I've been quoted the following system, and I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade the compressor.
RGPE 07EAMKR furnace
RCFL 2417 coil
Pro 8000 Stat
2100 AprilAir cleaner
After doing some research, I found that I was quoted one of the high end 80% prestige furnace components, but the lower end value AC. When I contacted the contractor about my concern he seemed to stand behind his original proposal quite firmly. Perhaps the contractor felt there was something with the prestige furnace worth having, but that the prestige/classic AC didn't offer much over their value brother?
Looking at the Rheem website, the Prestige furnace does have a variable speed motor that appears to be unique to the Prestige line. The Prestige/Classic both have lifetime warranties on heat exchanger and both come in 2 stage. Looking at the ACs, all 3 lines appear to have a "Copeland scroll compressor", but each provides additional functionality. The classic adds "low & high pressure controls", and the prestige additionally has "active protection" and "comfort control system". Are these just diagnostic features, or are these features worth paying for?
If cost were an issue, would meeting in the middle and getting the classic line for the furnace and compressor be more sensible?
Also, this system was quoted as 16SEER. Looking at the spec sheet for the 14AJM AC, the 14 stands for 14 SEER, but it also shows how when mated with the coil/air handler I've been quoted, it is effectively 16 SEER. Is this a typical and/or good way of obtaining a higher SEER?
Thanks in advance!

Q: We're looking into replacing our current Exchange Server 2003 SP1 server with new server hardware. Do you know of any problems we might encounter with having a mixed environment of servers running Exchange 2003 SP1 as well as Exchange 2003 SP2? Going straight to SP2 on new hardware will save us work down the road.
A: I haven't heard of any problems with running a mixed Exchange 2003 SP1/SP2 environment as you describe. Be aware, however, that if you use a front-end and back-end setup, you must upgrade the front-end servers first. So effectively, if you were to have any back-end Exchange 2003 SP2 servers, then you should upgrade your front-end servers first to SP2.

And her closed-door toilet tryst was with a man she had just met during a Gatwick to Las Vegas flight with her parents, the Daily Mirror reported.
The British woman, in her 20s, became abusive with the crew when her rowdy romp was interrupted.
She was met by U.S. authorities when the plane landed but was allowed to continue her trip to Sin City after getting a warning, the Mirror reported.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Charice Pempengco, a Filipino singer who played an exchange student in "Glee," says she's a lesbian and has apologized to her family in an emotional TV interview.
The 21-year-old said on Sunday's talk show on ABS-CBN TV that she wants to apologize to those who do not understand and cannot accept her. She mentioned her mother and brother.
"I don't know what the problem with that is because for me, that isn't a problem," Charice said, adding: "To all those who will accept me, thank you very, very much."
Charice said that after her public coming out, she could now "leave my house without hiding anything."
Most comments online and in the local media were supportive of Charice.
But an official with the Roman Catholic Church, Melvin Castro, stirred controversy by saying Charice was experiencing an identity crisis.
Charice and her brother were raised by their single mother. She sang in local contests and appeared on TV talent shows in the Philippines and South Korea before she got a big break on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" at age 15.
She also appeared in Oprah Winfrey's talk shows and starred in "Glee" in 2011.
Castro, the executive secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, asked the public not to judge the singer while "she is experiencing an identity crisis regarding her sexual orientation.
"Let's hope that there will be people out there that will help guide her with her sexual orientation called same-sex attraction," Castro told the daily Manila Bulletin.
He did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The Catholic Church rejects homosexual behavior, including same-sex marriage, and the church is influential in the predominantly Catholic country. But the gay community is growing in the Philippines, and there are many respected and popular gay entertainers.

PNE claims foul play by PSNHBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 22. 2013 11:07PM
CONCORD - Deregulation of the electricity market in New Hampshire has hit a speed bump, with 8,500 households caught in the middle of a scenario no one anticipated when customers were given the option to choose an alternative to Public Service of New Hampshire for energy supply more than a decade ago.
One of those competitive suppliers, PNE Energy Supply of Manchester, had to withdraw from the market on Feb. 14 due to financial problems. PNE was in the process of selling its customer accounts to FairPoint Energy, but only 1,200 of the 8,500 PNE accounts were transferred to FairPoint before PNE suspended operations.
The rest were transferred to PSNH by the independent system operator for the New England power grid (ISO-NE), which did what it was supposed to do - transfer customers to the default provider if the competitive provider gets into trouble, so the lights stay on.
PNE and its broker, Resident Power, are crying foul. In a petition filed with the Public Utilities Commission on Friday, they suggest PSNH dragged its feet in moving customers over to FairPoint Energy, in anticipation of the ISO action.
No matter who provides the power, PSNH transmits it, takes the meter readings and sends the bills. So its cooperation is necessary in any customer switch-over for the energy service portion of the bill. Accounts have to be accessed, rates changed and names of new energy providers added.
In its emergency petition, Resident Power, which sold PNE as an electricity provider, is asking for authority to continue the transfer of the remaining 7,300 PNE accounts to FairPoint, even though they are now with PSNH, without facing "slamming" charges.
Slamming is an illegal practice in which customers are switched from one service provider to another without the customer's prior approval. Resident Power hopes to avoid the time and expense of contacting each of the remaining 7,300 customers, and feels it has a right to continue the transfer to FairPoint that was in play before the ISO action.
Attorney Robert Cheney, with Sheehan, Phinney, Bass and Green of Manchester, argues in the PUC petition that transfer of the accounts does not constitute slamming and is in the best interest of the customers involved, because they are now paying higher energy service charges with PSNH than could be made available by Resident Power.
Different messages
PSNH spokesman Mike Skelton accused Resident Power of attempting to shift blame to PSNH for a problem that was created by their energy supplier, PNE.
"PSNH was in the process of transferring customers from PNE to FairPoint in accordance with normal market rules when PNE made a business decision to walk away from its customers," he said. "We stepped in, per ISO New England rules, to serve these customers as the default energy supplier. Up to that point we had expended enormous amounts of resources over a holiday weekend to comply with the process and move customers over and ensure their bills would be calculated correctly. This was not our business deal, but we were left to clean up the mess."
Skelton said PSNH would not respond to legal claims in the Resident Power petition. "We will await the PUC decision and responding accordingly," he said.
Meanwhile, electricity customers have been confused by different messages in the past week from the PUC, from PNE and from Resident Power.
On Feb. 11, PNE notified its 8,500 customers that their accounts were being transferred to FairPoint Energy, with their rates protected, as allowed in their terms of service. On Feb. 20, all but 1,200 of them got a message from Resident Power telling them the transfer of their account from PNE to FairPoint didn't go through, and that they are back with PSNH at higher rates. The letter encouraged them to authorize Resident Power to place them with a new provider at lower rates.
On Feb. 21, the PUC posted on its website "Important Information for Customers of PNE Energy Supply and Resident Power," stating that "for all but 1,200 of PNE's former customers, electric energy service is now being provided by PSNH. Your account will not be automatically transferred to FairPoint Energy."
Battle over charges
Beyond the confusion the situation has created, is the larger question of whether PSNH is obstructing customer transfers to competitive providers through unreasonable fees and delays, which would undermine the whole premise of deregulation.
Gus Fromuth, managing director of PNE, is waging that battle against PSNH in a docket that has been before the PUC since Oct. 1, for review of "the reasonableness of Public Service of New Hampshire's (PSNH's) charges for selection, billing and payment and collection services to competitive electricity suppliers."
Joining PNE in the complaint are the Retail Energy Supply Association, which represents competitive energy suppliers, and two of the most active competitors in the New Hampshire market - ENH Power and North American Power and Gas.
Fromouth said PSNH, which is supposed to be the "agnostic gatekeeper" in the deregulation process, has not been agnostic at all, and used the PNE situation as an example.
"When we approached PSNH about accommodating the PNE/FairPoint deal by porting over the entire bundle of 8,500 customers, they said that it would be a very resource-intensive process to do that and they would have to charge us accordingly," he said, "whereupon a $60,000 offer was made, to pay for their overtime. It took them two or three days to come back and say, 'We can't do that,' and then the customers all come back to them en masse from ISO."
The Office of Consumer Affairs in the PUC provides a list of authorized energy brokers and competitive suppliers, on their website, www.oca.nh.gov.

The OU Children's Physicians' Child Study Center has launched a new project to increase awareness and identification of autism in young children.
The Oklahoma Early Access Autism Project conducting free autism screenings children ages 13 months to 7 years of age by appointment Feb. 1 at the Carter County Health Department, located at 405 S. Washington St.
The purpose of the screening is to determine if developmental skills are progressing as expected. Screenings do not provide conclusive evidence of developmental delays or autism and do not result in a diagnosis; therefore a positive screening result should be followed by a thorough assessment. Parents will receive information about resources in the community so they can help their child get services if needed.
Oklahoma Early Access Autism Project, funded in part through a contract with the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council, partners with local communities to offer monthly autism screenings and awareness throughout the state. The goal of the project is to reach underserved populations who may not have access to traditional developmental screening services.
To schedule an appointment for a screening or ask questions call (405) 295-5273, or visit www.EarlyAccessOK.org.

Orange police arrest former Econo Lodge manager
Police in Orange have again arrested former Econo Lodge manager Iqbal Patel on a warrant resulting from his previous arrest for possession of a controlled substance while working in his capacity as manager at the hotel.
While on duty, OPD Sergeant J.C. Steele reported seeing Patel, who had an outstanding arrest warrant, driving a silver Toyota car in the area of Eighth Street and Main streets in Orange at about 6:20 p.m. on Sept. 9. Steele initiated a traffic stop and arrested Patel for warrant No. 18599 for Delivery of a Controlled Substance JP1-No Bond.
According to a news release from OPD issued in July, police arrested 54-year-old Iqdal Ibrahim Patel for possession of a controlled substance Friday, July 19. The news release indicated the arrest came after a lengthy investigation into complaints of drug activity at the Econo Lodge hotel at 2900 Interstate 10 in Orange where Patel was the manager.
Officers reportedly seized more than 250 pills identified as Soma muscle relaxers and hydrocodone narcotic pain relievers while executing a narcotics warrant issued after numerous complaints led to the investigation. Patel was in custody at the Orange County Correctional Facility.

Maybe this would be possible, given a month in advance...but not 24 hours. I was able to find a ticket for $2800.....and got it lowered to $2000 but my travel agent has been contacted by someone in Korea telling her it is too much, and they will not pay it. It is in my contract that they will pay for my flight. And I start work on Monday....supposedly. What can I do? Are they breaking contract?

The fact that they said they sent you a ticket when it fact they didn't... is a big warning sign. I would simply tell them you can't find an appropriate flight at the cost they mentioned. They are responsible for your ticket and they didn't come through. Not to mention the fact they are perfectly capable of purchasing a ticket that you can pickup at the airport, no need to courier it to you. They're trying to screw you, don't let them.

If they don't want to pay for the ticket you found, then ask them to cancel your visa. You'd have to wait to find another job and go through the whole visa process again if you do this, though. I do agree that this is a bad sign. If it falls through, don't feel too bad, because any school should have gotten the ticket to you sooner. Also, they were supposed to pay for the ticket, not you. You are not breaking the contract by not going to Korea tomorrow. Don't worry about that. I know you must feel really stressed and upset right now, but I hope you can sit back and let things happen as they come. You are supposed to work next Monday, but they may have to wait. After all, they NEED you. They can't just hire someone else and get them to Korea before you. They would have to go through the entire visa process. YOU are the teacher they want, and it would be a huge hassle for them to find someone else at this exact moment. I think you could tell them that they will have to find you a ticket and let you know when you will be leaving Canada. Let them know that if it isn't done within the next week, it might be better for you to work for a school that is a bit more organized about their teachers. I don't know the whole story on the visa part...does anyone know if there is a chance she'd have to wait a whole year for this current visa to expire if she ended up not going? She wouldn't be registered with immigration yet...no Alien ID card, etc. Back to top posco's trumpetJoined: 20 Apr 2003Location: Beneath the Underdog Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2003 8:34 am Post subject: just demand the ticket.

Back to top camel96Guest Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2003 4:34 pm Post subject: Jeez...it's a pretty big warning sign. I think PT's right. Tell them for whatever reason you're not buying the ticket yourself. Tell them you don't have that type of money or that it's impossible for you to buy that ticket at the price they want at this time of year in Canada and they'll have to sort it out or you can't come. Or can't come for another 6 weeks until the prices go down. Most likely they'll end up buying a ticket in this case. Assuming they do still want you to come....? It's funny how often schools in Korea are willing to give their new teachers an absolutely horrendous first impression of their hagwon just so they can save themselves 50 bucks or something. It's a bad situation for you. Do you have your heart set on Korea...? Taiwan also is nice.

That said, you're in a position of power, so if you can leverage that without making them lose face, go for it.

They have no hold over you, you can seek another contract in Korea. I wouldn't go even if you do find a ticket, they sound as though they are utterly incompetent and argue over pennies. Go with more reputable firm. As Jacksarang said, it can all be done through the travel agents so that you can pick up the ticket at the airport, that's what they did when I came here. It's so easy, there is no need for an expensive courier service, leading me to suspect they are lying to you. It may be that they have decided not to hire you and are too gutless to tell you.

The 20 Corniest Tweets About The Super Bowl Blackout
Let's face it: we all have our corny moments. Sometimes it's just too hard to control that urge to come off funny or clever. Unfortunately, those jokes that sound genius in our heads can come off as, well, cheesy as hell.
When the lights went out last night at the beginning of the 3rd quarter during Super Bowl XLVII, the hoard of tweets that followed proved our point exactly. Whether it was J. Cole "Lights Please" cracks, Future "Turn Off The Lights" quips, or the oh-so original Illuminati suggestions, no "light" joke was left untouched.

Doctor Debate: Wellness testing—good medicine or not?
Be sure to read the other side of this debate, Doctor Debate: Wellness testing--More important than ever! by Dr. Fred Metzger.
Agree with Dr. Robbins? Agree with Dr. Metzger? Or do you have a completely different take? Click here to let everyone know what you think.
Although the ability to do wellness testing has been around for years, it has only been recently that practitioners have emphasized its role in veterinary medicine. I think there are four reasons for this.
First, wellness testing has financial rewards. Over the years, veterinarians have wrestled with innovative ways of increasing their practice revenue. Wellness testing accomplishes this. Not only can wellness testing increase the utilization of other testing modalities in a practice, it also helps reduce the burden of vaccines for practice profit. It is important for veterinary practices to be financially healthy, but the way we achieve this should not supplant good medicine and should be in the best interest of our patients.
Second, veterinarians often do wellness testing out of a need to protect themselves against lawsuits—so-called defensive medicine. Some veterinarians think it's always a good thing to look for things to be wrong. While many clients also demand routine tests, they are often bolstered by advertisements, veterinary information online, and veterinarians. To some extent, veterinarians have taught their clients to demand these things. And as a profession we've systematically exaggerated the benefits of early diagnosis, which doesn't always improve survival, and, at the same time, we don't always tell our clients there might be downsides to testing.
Third, and most important, is that wellness testing "screens" for disease and, therefore, is good medicine. If we are using the term wellness testing interchangeably with screening, then we need to examine the statistical merits of doing so. The optimal screening tests should be cost-effective, easy to perform, and have high sensitivity (correctly detect most patients with a disease) and specificity (correctly identify most patients that do not have a disease). It is also important to realize that normal test values are usually arbitrarily defined as those occurring within two standard deviations from the mean, thereby ensuring that 5% of healthy pets that have a single screening test will have an abnormal result. As more tests are ordered, the likelihood of a false positive result increases. Therefore, a screening panel containing 20 independent tests in a patient with no disease will yield at least one abnormal result 64% of the time.
Then there is the lead-time bias phenomenon.1 This bias refers to a spurious increase in longevity associated with screening. In other words, the screening test could discover a disease before the patient feels ill, but it does not extend the patient's life. This early detection can artificially inflate survival time by moving up the diagnosis date, making the test appear to be useful even though mortality doesn't change.
And what about the scientific evidence in support of wellness testing being a good disease screening tool? In human medicine, the literature is replete with research showing the flaws with wellness testing.2-5 But in veterinary medicine there is a lack of evidence-based research showing that patients benefit from wellness testing. Recently, two studies in veterinary medicine addressed the issues of wellness testing. Both studies looked at preanesthetic testing and whether the test results affected the way we anesthetize patients. The first study, out of Germany, concluded, "The changes revealed by preoperative screening were usually of little clinical relevance and did not prompt major changes to the anesthetic technique."6 The second study, out of South Africa, concluded that 1) screening of geriatric patients is important and that subclinical disease could be present in nearly 30% of these patients, and 2) the value of preanesthetic screening in veterinary anesthesia still needs to be evaluated in terms of appropriate outcome variables.7 So based on two studies, at least one type of wellness testing (preanesthetic) may not be justified.

Jason Kurylo, CanucksCorner.com
After the fourth game of the season, the Canucks have been the better team in 10 of 12 periods so far. They've held time-of-possession advantages in each game, out-chanced the other guys, and they've offered occasional flashes of the exciting, offensive hockey that won them the Northwest Division last season. They've shown, for the most part, defensive responsibility and solid, confident goaltending from Roberto Luongo.
Yet somehow, the Canucks have lost twice to the Kings – once in overtime – and been beaten in regulation by the lowly Ducks. Their only win of the young season came in unconvincing fashion against a team that will likely finish at the bottom of the hockeytrocity that is the Southeast Division.
So, as many a Canuck fan is posting on Twitter, "WTF?!?"
Canuck shooters have made Jonathan Quick look even better than he really is in consecutive losses. When they have put pucks past the young LA netminder, they've just plain missed the net. There have been posts, rolling pucks, bobbled chances, bad ice and good saves by opposition goalies. Mikael Samuelsson even managed to hit a crossbar against Floriday – while Tomas Vokoun was on the bench for the extra Panther attacker.
Coming the other way, the Canucks could easily have had shutouts in both home games so far this year. The Kings took advantage of a late power play to score their only goal on opening night in a game they would eventually win in a shootout. Those Panthers also scored just one goal against Luongo: a desperation shot that pinballed off of two different players on its way in. Similarly, the Kings' second goal in game four went in off the skate of Kevin Bieksa, on what looked like a broken play.
But why stop there? Referees seemed to scheme against the Nucks in Anaheim, giving the Ducks a pair of two-man advantages on phantom calls. Throw in a missed too-many-men call that resulted directly in the winning goal against, and Vancouver hockey fans were left scratching their heads.
So what's the good news?
This edition of the Vancouver Canucks, led by the new captain Henrik Sedin, is saying all the right things. "We should have put them away in the second period," said Henrik of the Ducks, acknowledging the referee mistakes are no excuse for allowing a lesser team to stay in the game. And he's right; if Vancouver had buried just one or two of their myriad chances in the first forty minutes, those sleepy Ducks and their ref-assisted goals would not have mattered.
Even Ryan Kesler, whose penchant for complaints on-ice and moody media scrums probably took him out of the running for the captaincy, shrugged off the poor early record. "The refs miss calls like we miss plays," he said after Stephen Walkam's officiating crew gifted the Ducks their sole win of the season. "We can't blame them for our missed chances."
Now, don't get me wrong – the Canucks haven't done themselves any favours, either. Perhaps as a result of all the pre-season hype, Vancouver skaters have elected to pass far more often than shoot. They haven't driven the net like they should. Opposition goalies have seen far too much of the puck, and not nearly enough of Canuck screens on the edge of the crease. Kesler should be fighting for pucks within a three-foot radius of the net, not finessing wrist shots into the netminder's breadbasket from the blue line. Unless your name is Sedin, you probably shouldn't be trying to find a cross-ice seam when you've got a chance to go to the net. After that debacle of game management that was the 4-3 loss to the Ducks, these guys should have come out on fire in LA. They outshot the Kings, sure, but looked flat much of the night, and once again saw zero offense outside of a pretty rush by the Sedins.
It took these same boys a while to learn these lessons last year as well. Remember, the Canucks followed up an 0-3 start to the season by winning the division.
If Vancouver is still looking for better results after three or four weeks, panic buttons should be pressed. But chances are, once Manny Malhotra gets a gimme of a short-handed goal, or Kesler gets a lucky one to go in off his left butt cheek, or hell, when Luongo gets enough bounces to tally his first shutout of the year, this team will see some serious win streaks start to pile up.
This team has too much talent, and too few egos, not to.

Ky secretary of state to challenge Mitch McConnell
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Declaring that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has "lost touch" with Kentucky voters, the state's 34-year-old secretary of state announced Monday that she would seek to unseat him in 2014, ending a long search by Democrats for a competitive challenger to the deep-pocketed, five-term Republican.
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who had been touted as the Democrats' best hope of defeating McConnell, began seriously considering the race after actress Ashley Judd opted out in March.
Grimes, a lawyer from a well-connected Kentucky family who was first elected in 2011, launched her bid with tough words for the 71-year-old McConnell, the longest-serving U.S. senator in state history.
"I agree with thousands of Kentuckians that Kentucky is tired of 28 years of obstruction, that Kentucky is tired of someone who has voted against raising the minimum wage while all the while quadrupling his own net worth," Grimes told reporters. "Kentucky is tired of a senior senator that has lost touch with Kentucky issues, voters and their values."
McConnell, who has already raised some $13 million for his re-election bid and is known for running bare-knuckled campaigns, released a statement saying he looks forward to "a respectful exchange of ideas" with Grimes. The senator described her as President Barack Obama's Kentucky candidate.
"The next sixteen months will provide a great opportunity for Kentuckians to contrast a liberal agenda that promotes a war on coal families and government-rationed health care with someone who works every day to protect Kentuckians from those bad ideas," McConnell said. "Together we've invested a lot to ensure that Kentucky's voice in the U.S. Senate is heard from the front of the line rather than the back-bench and I intend to earn the support to keep it there."
Polls have shown McConnell's favorability lacking in Kentucky, making him vulnerable to a Democratic challenger.
Grimes, whose father once headed the state Democratic party, received 61 percent of the vote when she was elected two years ago. Her campaign included a folksy TV ad that featured her grandmothers.
Former Democratic Party Chairman Bill Garmer and Kentucky environmental attorney Tom FitzGerald were also weighing the 2014 Senate race on the Democratic side, but had said they would run only if Grimes didn't. Former Miss America Heather French Henry, who had expressed an interest, said Monday she won't run, either.
Three longshot Democrats already have declared their intentions to run.
Grimes became the likely contender after Judd bowed out in March. A former Kentucky resident now living in suburban Nashville, Tenn., Judd had met with several Democratic leaders to discuss the race. She even purchased a home in the northeastern Kentucky city of Ashland, where she once lived.
Known for her liberal political views, Judd, the star of such films as "Double Jeopardy" and "Kiss the Girls," would have been running in a largely conservative state where Republicans hold both Senate seats and five of the six seats in the U.S. House. McConnell aides talked about her past bouts with depression, previous political statements and religious views during a strategy session with the senator that was secretly recorded by a political activist earlier this year. The FBI is investigating whether the activist illegally recorded the meeting.
Defeating McConnell would be the Democrats' biggest prize of the 2014 election. He has been an outspoken critic of Obama and would move up to Senate majority leader should Republicans recapture the Senate in 2014. His seat is one of 14 that Republicans are defending next year, while Democrats try to hold onto 21.
Grimes met privately with supporters, including two former Democratic governors and several state lawmakers, before announcing her decision.
The announcement came just days after the conservative group Kentuckians for Strong Leadership began running a TV spot attacking Grimes as a cheerleader for Obama. The ad began airing in the Louisville, Lexington and Paducah markets last week and was scheduled to continue through July 11. The McConnell campaign has already been running online attacks against Grimes.
The attacks are part of a well-used strategy by Kentucky Republicans to try to link the state's Democrats to Obama, who is widely unpopular in Kentucky, a state he lost in both 2008 and 2012.
McConnell, who has served in the U.S. Senate since 1984, has never lost an election. He spent more than $20 million in 2008 to beat Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford, a wealthy Louisville businessman, by 6 percentage points.
Grimes will begin the race at a distinct fundraising disadvantage. But former Gov. Julian Carroll said he is convinced that Grimes, who is expected to have the backing of former President Bill Clinton, a family friend, will be able to raise sufficient funds to defeat McConnell.
"You know what, you can't with money buy everything," Carroll said. "I am convinced that she will beat him and beat him rather well. There is an undercurrent in Kentucky that it's time for Mitch to go."
Grimes' father, former Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Lundergan, said his daughter carefully weighed her prospects.
"We wanted to make sure that we could get into it and win," he said. "I think that when you see the ads that Sen. McConnell is running ... he's a little nervous."
National Republican Senatorial Committee's Executive Director Rob Collins said McConnell "is engaged in the most innovative, modern, and effective campaign in history and will make the case that conservative ideas will protect Kentucky from the radical assault on their livelihood being waged by President Obama, Harry Reid and Alison Lundergan Grimes."
Collins said Kentucky voters "have absolutely no reason to send Alison Lundergan Grimes to Washington to help pass the policies of a President whom they adamantly oppose."

DEM stocks ponds for Opening Day... the striped bass have arrived
The Department of Environmental Management's (DEM) Division of Fish & Wildlife announced last week that the 2012 trout and general freshwater fishing season will begin at 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 14. More than 20,000 anglers are expected to turn out at dawn on opening day. Approximately 80,000 hatchery-raised brook, brown, and rainbow trout with an average individual weight of one and a half pounds are being stocked by Division staff in more than 100 ponds and streams for opening day.
"Getting out at the crack of dawn on opening day is a time-honored tradition in Rhode Island," noted DEM Director Janet Coit. "This is a great opportunity for anglers of all ages to grab their fishing poles and experience the delight of catching the first trout of the season."
To enhance the chances of children fourteen years of age and young catching a fish on Opening Day DEM has designated nine ponds for children.. In addition to the six regular ponds that are restricted, Cass Pond in Woonsocket, Slater Park Pond in Pawtucket, and Ponderosa Pond in Little Compton will be open for children-only during the first two days of the fishing season. A fishing derby for children in Woonsocket is being held at Cass Pond on Saturday, April 14. The Little Compton Grange will host a fishing derby for children on Saturday, April 14 and Sunday, April 15 at Ponderosa Pond in Little Compton. In Warwick, the Tri-City Elks Lodge will hold its annual opening day children's derby at the pond located behind the Elks Lodge at 1414 West Shore Road on Saturday, April 14.
A complete list of stocked ponds and other information of interest to anglers can be found on DEM's website, www.dem.ri.gov, by clicking on "Fish and Wildlife" under "Offices and Divisions," then "Freshwater Fisheries," then "Trout Stocked Waters."
Freshwater fishing licenses
You need a freshwater fishing license to fish in Rhode Island. State Department of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations relate that "A fishing license is required of any person 15 years of age or older wishing to catch or take fish in any freshwater stream or pond in the State." Exceptions include blind persons, landowners and their family members fishing from their property. Residents over 65 years of age can obtain a special permanent license for free. This year resident licenses are $18 and non-resident licenses are $35. A non-resident three day license is $16.
If you are interested in fishing for trout you will need a trout conservation stamp as well. Cost of a trout conservation stamp is $5.50.
Freshwater fishing licenses and trout stamps can be purchased from city and town clerk offices, authorized agents such as bait and tackle shops and other retail stores that sell tackle. For a list of license vendors visit the DEM web site at www.dem.ri.gov (click on "Hunting, Fishing, Boating Licenses" from the top left of the homepage and scroll down to "Hunting Fishing Agents" at the bottom of the page. You may also purchase a license online through the DEM website.
Striped bass on the West Wall of the Harbor of Refuge and in the Bay
Striped bass arrived at the West Wall of the Harbor of Refuge, Narragansett and were found in Greenwich Bay last week. The fish had sea lice on them which is a sure sign that they are migratory fish from the ocean and not striped bass that have decided to stay for the winter. The water is warm, it was 52 degrees in the West Passage Saturday evening when I moved my boat from Mill Creek Marine in Allen's Harbor, North Kingstown to Anderson's Boat Yard in East Greenwich. As I pulled into East Greenwich cove my fish finder lit up with fish right at the green can at the Cove entrance.
Shore angler Tom Pelto sent me a note on his first striped bass of the season. Here's what he had to say, "I was fishing the West Wall there at the Harbor of Refuge. The fish was defiantly a fresh migrating bass, sea lice were present all over the body, and the fish was very bright and shiny. I hooked it almost immediately upon arriving at my spot. The water was the color of Bombay Sapphire gin and was very clear. I saw the fish take the lure 15 feet out which gave me a instant smile. The fish was tiny, but the first ones always are. I knew there had to be fish there. I just had look at the clues. The first was the herring showing up. I've always caught a bass within a week of the herring arriving. Second was the water temp. It's like 48 degrees right now. Anytime the water gets close to 50 degrees (which I think is the magic temp) I start looking for fish. Also the wind had been constantly blowing out of the south. I really think this gets the water moving in the right direction, and helps push the fish along. Finally I spotted bait. So there had to be something there. It's the earliest bass I've ever caught by far."
Public hearing on menhaden
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries commission (ASMFC) will hold a public hearing on menhaden Wednesday, April 4, 6 p.m. at the Coastal Institute Auditorium, URI Bay Campus, South Ferry Road, Narragansett, RI. The purpose of the meeting is to gather public comment on the Public Information Document (PID) for Amendment 2. For more information contact Jason McNamee, RIDEM Fisheries, at 401-423-1943.

Kevin Copeland: Ban the bone
April 16, 2013
In the wake of the Boston tragedy, I would hope that our present elected officials are willing to fall all over one another to be the first to pass some meaningful, feel-good legislation to ban improvised explosive devices so as to keep them out of the hands of criminals. As I perceive it, present laws are obviously being circumvented.
They also should demand background checks on everyone who purchases BBs, marbles, ball bearings, staples and nails — all common objects that can be acquired by craven misfits to maximize the carnage of these cowardly devises.
I am lividly enraged (as are all good humans) by all these despicable acts of violence perpetrated against us. Unfortunately, there are gutless subhumans with demented agendas who do in fact live among us. This has been a fact of life since man first walked the earth.
We should also ban bones, one of which was most likely used to club the first human ever murdered. We could then go further and ban some of the most common vile things used to kill: objects such as pencils, baseball bats, hammers, hatchets, narcotics, fire, rope, plastic bags, duct tape, fists, feet, concrete, water, knives, pressure cookers and microwaves, to name a few. Also, let's not forget planes, trains and automobiles!
Use your imagination; almost any object can be used to kill. If you envision it to be dangerous, it should be banned.
Litigate society until the cows come home, but it's guaranteed the creeps who intend to do us harm will find a way regardless of laws added and rights removed.
Recommended Stories For You
Bottom line, it's against the law to commit murder. Period!
Everyone needs to be more vigilant, work to better humanity locally, nationally and globally. Stress morals and value life. In addition, provide less media attention for perpetrators and politicians.
Our best defense is common sense. Something that the administrations in Colorado and Washington are sadly lacking, judging from their records regarding energy and firearms.
Next time you vote, vote for common sense! Ban mediocre politicians and their cronies!

Calif. doctor accused of overprescribing drugs faces murder charges in deaths of 3 patients
LOS ANGELES (AP) ' Authorities allege she passed out prescriptions for drugs like Xanax and OxyContin, Vicodin and Adderall, at a rate of 25 per day for three years, with only cursory patient examinations and a minimum of questions.
Los Angeles County prosecutors are determined to show that Dr. Hsui-Ying "Lisa" Tseng, whom they've dubbed "Dr. Feelgood," has done more than overprescribe drugs.
They are looking to prove she's guilty of murder, responsible for the deaths of three otherwise healthy men in their 20s.
Tseng, 42, was scheduled to be arraigned on Friday. She was being held on $3 million bail and could face a state prison term of 45 years to life.
After a long probe involving DEA agents posing as patients, Tseng was charged Thursday in the deaths of Vu Nguyen, 29, of Lake Forest, on March 2, 2009; Steven Ogle, 25, of Palm Desert, on April 9, 2009; and Joseph Rovero III, 21, an Arizona State University student from San Ramon, on Dec. 18, 2009.
Rovero, who went by Joey, had been a high school football player in San Ramon and was halfway through his senior year at ASU, where he was studying business and communications.
He saw Tseng for the first and only time on Dec. 9, 2009, nine days before his death in Tempe, Ariz., and received prescriptions for Xanax and OxyContin, the brand names for Alprazolam and Oxycodone.
His autopsy report said Rovero died of acute intoxication of those two drugs. Alcohol was also in his system.
Rovero came into Tseng's office complaining of anxiety and of pain in his hand, back and wrist, and saying a previous doctor had prescribed him OxyContin, Xanax and Soma, according to records from the Osteopathic Medical Board of California.
Tseng prescribed the drugs after performing only a partial physical examination that didn't even note which hands or wrists were in pain, the records said. They then cite dozens of failures of Tseng to take the required steps when issuing such prescriptions, including:
' Failing to get a patient history to explain the origin of his pain.
' Failing to get prior treatment records to assure the medical history he gave was true.
' Failing to identify his previous doctors.
' Failing to acquire a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
' Failing to run reports that would assure Rovero wasn't "doctor shopping."
' Failing to provide a record that Rovero gave informed consent to be treated with controlled substances.
Prosecutors list a similar litany of failures in the cases of Nguyen and Ogle.
Tseng also face 21 other felony counts, including four involving undercover DEA agents, alleging she prescribed drugs using fraud and without a legitimate purpose.
District Attorney Steve Cooley said when he announced the charges in a written statement that the case highlights the problem of patients who "die while the doctor gets rich."
Tseng and her husband, also a doctor, opened a storefront medical office in 2005 in the Los Angeles suburb of Rowland Heights. She came under scrutiny by the California Medical Board and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 after a pharmacy reported problems with her prescriptions.
Tseng wrote more than 27,000 prescriptions over a three-year period starting in January 2007 ' an average of 25 a day, according to a DEA affidavit.
The DEA suspended her license to write prescriptions in 2010 and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California said Tseng voluntarily surrendered her medical license. Her husband continues to run their clinic.
Tseng's attorneys did not reply to phone messages seeking comment on Thursday, but in a 2010 interview with the Los Angeles Times she said she was "really strict" with her patients and followed legal guidelines.
"If my patient decides to take a month's supply in a day, then there's nothing I can do about that," she said.
Tseng's statements were consistent with the most common defense on the rare occasions that doctors are charged with murder for prescriptions.
Attorney Ellyn Garafalo, who has defended doctors in overprescribing cases, said "a doctor can't control what a patient does with the drugs. A doctor can't be a policeman. The doctor has some deniability."
Garafalo noted that prosecutors charged Michael Jackson's doctor with involuntary manslaughter instead of murder in the pop star's death from a drug overdose.

I love all of my distress inks. They are so versatile and can be used in so many ways. You can pounce on the edge of your paper or photo for a vintage look. And if you lightly mist with water (wouldn't recommend doing that on your photo) you can get the ink to run a little giving a truly distressed, old time, feel. Walnut ink is my favorite for the distressed look. A nice dark brown reminding me of the photos and ephemera I find in my grandmother's scrapbooks.
There are a lot of ink pad choices out there, but the best quality I have found thus far is from Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads. They come in a wide variety of colors - anywhere from classic browns and black to mustard yellow - and last forever. Also, the pad and case itself are square, which, at least to me, makes them more easy to handle when you are using direct ink to paper inking techniques.
You are looking at my FAVORITE Tim Holtz ink - Walnut Stain. It is definitely a scrapbooking staple if you are in to the distressed look, but make sure you check out the other colors Tim has!
P.s. You should store these upside-down to keep the pad nice and wet. :)
I love this ink, I love the look it gives paper with distressing. I have used it both on just edges and all over, and it is terrific! There are so many uses for this. Just recently, I dabbed it over letters for the mask effect, and I loved the way it went on the paper. Since purchasing this, I have purchased 3 other distress inks and I hope to purchase the rest of them soon.
I have a couple of Tim Holtz brand distress inks now. I had a lighter brown and decided I "needed" this one. It is a dark, dark brown. It looks so go for edging and other paper inking techniques. I am very happy to have gotten it. I use it quite a bit. I did try aging with my other ink pads and it just seemed so much more difficult with them than the Tim Holtz style pads make it. I think this would be my suggestion for one of the first few colors to put into your arsenal for the inked and distressed look... if you had to limit yourself to just a few.
What everyone here is saying is true so I'll only add a bit about the importance of an off-black. If this ink pad is used so the application is very heavy it can "read" as black. In other words if walnut stain is stamped over a darkish background. This can be a good thing, black can be too harsh in some situations, and a good dark brown creates contrast without being so obvious. The other thing with an off-balck is burnt edges (offerings? joking!). If you examine real world paper with burnt edges it really isn't true black. There are some good demos out there for recreating this effect with Distress Ink pads.
