Lipoatrophy Buzzwords
People with HIV have always shown a flair for language that describes their experience of the disease, and lipoatrophy is no exception. The following glossary includes the key street slang as well as the technical terms favored by the folks in the white lab coats:
Lipoatrophy: The condition in which the body's fat ("lipo-") cells are destroyed or disabled ("-atrophy"). Believed to be caused by the use of the HIV drugs d4T (stavudine, Zerit), AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) ddI (didanosine, Videx) and possibly by other factors, including aging and HIV itself.
Facial Wasting: The loss of fat in the face, especially the cheeks and the temples, characterizing lipoatrophy.
Peripheral Lipoatrophy: Fat loss that takes place in the arms, legs and butt, resulting in a veiny look.
Puppet Face: The street term for a severe case of facial lipoatrophy in which the cheeks and temples are hollowed out, resulting in puppetlike wrinkles and folds.
Mitochondrial Toxicity: Believed to be the cause of lipoatrophy. The mitochondria are tiny factories in your body's cells that convert nutrients, such as sugars and fats, into energy. By blocking an enzyme that mitochondria in fat cells need in order to reproduce, the three meds ddI, AZT and ddI cause the cell's mitochondria to fail, cutting off the cell's energy source and eventually its capacity to function.
Lipohypertrophy: The opposite of lipoatrophy, this condition is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the belly ("protease paunch"), the neck and upper back ("buffalo hump") and, in women, the breasts.
AIDS Wasting Syndrome: This condition is often confused with peripheral lipoatrophy, but is in fact very different. Wasting is characterized by the loss of fat and muscle (not just fat) all over the body (not just the face, limbs or butt). In addition, it is a symptom of advanced HIV disease and rarely afflicts people for whom treatment is controlling viral load and restoring immune function.

3 Search Engine Trends To Watch Out For
Search engines change incessantly, but what you really need to know is where these incremental changes are heading – what's the bigger picture? That's why we've picked up the top three trends facing the world of SEO that affect any content execution:
1. Voice Search & Personal Assistants
Search has always been a functional channel and now people are increasingly turning to voice assistants to find out information – so much so that comcast predicts 50% of searches will be conducted by voice by 2020. And when using your voice, you search in a much more specific way than you would on a keyboard. For instance, let's say you've decided to go on a short break to Cyprus with the kids, if you're typing, you're most likely to search "holiday to Cyprus" and see where it takes you; but when using your voice - because it's slightly less effort to do so - you'll give more information and say something like: "I want to go on a family holiday to Cyprus for three nights". This is what's called a "long tail" search, in that it's longer and more specific, so your content needs to cater for a variety of different user needs. It's no longer one size fits all.
2. Structured Data
Tying in with the above, voice searches and personal assistants are looking for succinct answers to their user's queries that it can read out, rather than reading out an entire page of search results. So the margin for success becomes even slimmer.
And even for those not using voice, search results are adding an increasing number of features to their results pages, such as review scores:
And "result zero":
Both of these examples make it more likely that you'll be at the top of search results – and thus read out by personal assistants too. But this all hinges on search engines understanding your content, so not only does the code of your website need to be nice and neat, you also need to utilise structured data mark-up, particularly Schema.org to stay ahead.
3. Security
Last on our list, but by no means the least important, Google is getting hot on security – and where Google goes, every other search engine follows. Security for your website comes down to your SSL certificate and whether or not you're HTTPS or HTTP, in other words it's the bit before your "www." you need to be concerned about. The former used to only be necessary for pages that required financial transactions, but now it's seen as a prerequisite for any trusted website - so much so that half of page 1 search Google search results were HTTPS last year and it's only going to increase. Boring it may be, but it's vital you upgrade your website to HTTPS if you haven't already to make the most of your new and existing content.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on these trends. Will you be acting on them? Let us know on over on our Twitter page
Alex Judd, GCore Business Director, and Rebecca Golub detail the top SEO trends in 2018 for businesses to be aware of.

If you run ultravnc server for the first time, the settings "ultravnc.ini file" does not exist and firewall need to allow winvnc.
When no password has been set, ultravnc prompt you to set one.
When you are running on XP and winvnc was installed as service you first get the "runas"box, DON'T FORGET TO UNCHECK else you tell runas that winvnc can't make changes toa file.
Now that the server is running, we can make a fast test connection in loopbackmode.(loopback mode= server+ viewer on same PC)
1* Tell server to allow loopback
2* Tell viewer to connect to the server
Start the viewer vncviewer.exe
When all is ok you should see the viewer showing himself like watching 2 mirrors( not usufull to do anything, but it tell server and viewer can connect)
Install viewer on second PC ( the pc you gonna use the control the server)
* Use the installer and select viewer only.* Or, copy vncviewer.exe on a usb stick and plug this in your viewer PC.* Or, use a shared/mapped folder and copy.
The server ip address can be found by hovering the mouse over the vnc server tray icon.
Instead of "localhost" you need to enter this ip address
We only handle 2 cases
A. Server has a official ip addressB. Server has a local ip and use a Nat router to connect to the internet. The router has theofficial ip address.The way you connect is independed of the viewer ip address ( local, official)
A. Server has a official ip address
When the server has an official ip address there is no difference between a LAN or internet connection. You need to enter the server ip in the viewer connection box. ( see last part "First Run")
B. Server has a private ip and use a Nat router to connect to the internet. The router has the official ip address.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks):
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
If your server has an ip address that's in one of the above ranges you are using some nat router to connect to the internet and the viewer can not make a direct connection to the server.The solution is tell the nat router that he need to send a port to your local pc , the viewer connect to the nat router ip address.Sample:
Mirror driver only get downloaded, NOT installed. This need to be done manual.
For first time install you best don't register it as service, this can always be done later from thewinvnc systray. First test if it works, and then register as service when needed.
If you need to install UltraVNC on a large number of computers, you might consider automating the installation.The following command line parameters can be passed to the setup:/dir="Dirname"Sets installation directory to Dirname./no restartSuppresses a reboot at the end of the installation.Not required since the installation no longer requires are boot./silent or /very silentSuppresses either pop-up of dialog boxes or any GUI at all./loadinf="Filename"Loads the configuration file Filenamefor the installation.This configuration file can be generated by going through setup with UltraVNC-xxxx-Setup.exe /saveinf="Filename".Filename should be fully qualified./logWrites a log file to the Temp directory.Could be used for debugging.
/no restart
/very silent
UltraVNC-xxxx-Setup.exe /saveinf="Filename"
Admin Properties
The "Admin Properties" menu item in the system tray UltraVNC icon menu refers to Default Local System Properties (service mode) or Current User Properties (application mode) and allows for customizing several areas:
Incoming connectionsAccept Socket ConnectionsShould be activated for normal operation. The display number and ports to use can be configured or set to Auto which defaults to Display 0, Port 5900and JavaViewer port 5800.The port is always Display No + 5900.DisplayDefaults to 0.
PortsDefaults to 5900 and 5800 for HTTP.
Enable JavaViewer (HTTP connect)Allows to view a remote computer by opening a browser and go to http://remote-machine:http-port/
Allow Loopback ConnectionsSometimes this could be helpful for tests. Normally it's not needed since the result is not very useful.
Loopback OnlyNeeded for tests. Connections from outside are not allowed.
When last client disconnectsIn a helpdesk scenario, you normally "Do Nothing" when disconnecting. When administering servers via remote control, you might wish to either "Lock Workstation" or "Logoff Workstation" for security reasons.
Query on incoming connectionIf enabled, every time someone tries to connect via UltraVNC, a pop-up dialog informs the user and asks the user to either accept or refuse the attempt. Configure the timeout for the dialog window and what action should be taken if the user clicked no button until timeout.
Keyboard & MouseSome situations (e.g. presentations) require that either the viewer or the remote computer don't input keyboard or mouse events. This can be configured by "Disable Viewer inputs" or "Disable Local inputs".
Multi viewer connectionsHere you can configure the behavior if multiple viewers attempt to connect to the same UltraVNC server. "Disconnect all existing connections" implies that only one viewer can be connected at a time and the last one wins. "Keep existing connections" allows for several viewers simultaneously. "Refuse the new connection" implies that only one viewer can be connected at a time and the first one wins. "Refuse all new connections" ??
Authentication"VNC Password" is a per-machine password and is required.
Require MS LogonActivates MS-Logon I. Works on Windows 9x as well as Windows NT4/2000/XP. Requires computer and user to be in the same domain.
New MS LogonActivates MS-Logon II. Allows for cross-domain authentication, i.e. computer is in domain A, user in domain B with a trust between A and B (typically in Active Directory). Works only on Windows NT4/2000/XP.
Configure MS Logon GroupsOpens the configuration dialog for MS-Logon authorization. For MS-Logon I there is a dialog allowing to configure 3 groups.For MS-Logon II there is the standard Windows Security property page.
DSM PluginIf there are any DSM (Data Stream Modification) Plugins available, their usage can be configured here. Currently there are several encryption plugins available.
MiscellaneousRemove Wallpaper for ViewersTo reduce network traffic the wallpaper on the remote computer's desktop can be removed during the connection.
Enable Blank Monitor on Viewer RequestAllow viewers to disable the monitor if they request so.
Enable File TransferEnable the UltraVNC File Transfer.
Log debug info to the WinVNC.log fileEnable logging. The log file is in C:\WinNT\system32 if winvnc runs as service. The logging level can be configured in the registry.
Disable Tray iconThe icon in the system tray can be disabled to disallow users to change any settings.
Forbid the user to close down WinVNCDisallow users to close down WinVNC.
Disable clients options in tray icon menuDisable the "Properties" menu item in the system tray icon menu.
Capture Alpha-BlendingCapture also semi transparent screens
Enable Alpha-Blending Screen BlankingEnable another method to disable the monitor.
System Hook DllProvides DDI hooking, especially on Windows 9x.
Video Hook DriverThe video hook driver provides high speed and low CPU load on Windows 2000/XP/2003.
Check the Video Hook DriverHere you can test the video hook driver, see it's version and whether it's currently active.
Low AccuracyGet higher speed with reduced accuracy.
Share only the Server Window NamedDo not share the whole desktop but only the window with the specified name.
[Permissions] [admin]
accept_reject_mesg= Custom accept/reject messageBox text.to change the messageBox logo add logo.bmp in the ultravnc folder
service_commandline= This is used to instruct the service to start winvnc (in service mode) with a specific command line. This is the same syntax as the commandline except you don't put -run at the end. sample: service_commandline=-autoreconnect -connect 192.168.1.30 This tell the service to make an invers connection to 192.168.1.30 and retry when it fail.
FileTransferEnabled=1 Enable Filtransfer
FTUserImpersonation=1 When doing a file transfer, act as desktop user. When you don't put 1 the filetransfer is done as user "system". User system don't have access to mapped drives and pose a security issue... a normal user can FT as admin.
BlankMonitorEnabled=1 This allow the viewer to blank the screen
CaptureAlphaBlending=1 Capture alphaBlending is needed for semi transparent windows ( xp, vista...) but use more cpu.
BlackAlphaBlending=0 Instead of using the powermanager to blank the monitor we put a layered window on top and capture the windows below. Using this option you also can define a custom blank by placing a file "background.bmp" in the ultravnc folder.
DefaultScale=1 Set scale
UseDSMPlugin=0 Use the defined encryption plugin
DSMPlugin= Name of the plugin
primary=1 secondary=0 When using multi-monitors ( driver required) you can define the default behaviour. Show only primary/Secunday or both
SocketConnect=1 Need to be one, else no socket is listening for a connection
PortNumber=0 Manual set listening port ( default 5900)
HTTPConnect=1 Start a sond port, this act as webserver for java viewer
HTTPPortNumber=0 manual set port for http (default 5800)
XDMCPConnect=0 no longer used
AutoPortSelect=1 The port is 5900, but when port 5900 is already in use the auto mode take one higher until he find a free one.
InputsEnabled=1 Allow the viewer to control the server
LocalInputsDisabled=0 Block the server input, only remote access is possible
IdleTimeout=0 Disconnect after a idle period ( 0 = default, no idle time out , seconds)
EnableJapInput=0 This can be used for Japanese and other non standard keyboards. The key processing is different and sometimes solve issue's with special keys.
AuthHosts= + =allow - = deny ? = query syntax: -:+10.0.60.141:?10.0.31.169:-10.0.20.240: instead of 10.0.60.141 you can use 10.0.60, then it is valid for the full range of ip addresses.
QuerySetting=2 Define on how to react on the (-,?,+) from the Authhosts. 0="+:Accept, ?:Accept, -:Query" 1="+:Accept, ?:Accept, -:Reject" 2="+:Accept, ?:Query, -:Reject [Default]" 3="+:Query, ?:Query, -:Reject" 4="+:Query, ?:Reject, -:Reject" It is used to specify a set of IP address templates which incoming connections must match in order to be accepted. By default, the template is empty and connections from all AuthHosts_Tip5="hosts are accepted. The template is of the form: +[ip-address-template] ?[ip-address-template] -[ip-address-template] In the above, [ip-address-template] represents the leftmost bytes of the desired stringified IP-address. For example, +158.97 would match both 184.108.40.206 and 22.214.171.124. Multiple match terms may be specified, delimited by the ":" character. Terms appearing later in the template take precedence over earlier ones. e.g. -:+158.97: would filter out all incoming connections except those beginning with 158.97. Terms beginning with the "?" character are treated by default as indicating hosts from whom connections must be accepted at the server side via a dialog box. The QuerySetting option determines the precise behaviour of the three AuthHosts options.
QueryTimeout=10 QueryTimeout is the time the messagebox is shown.
QueryAccept=0 ( 0=refuse 1=accept 2=refuse)This popup a timed messagebox to allow the user (server site) to allow/reject an incoming connect.
QueryIfNoLogon=0 Disable/enable query settings when no user is logged.
If the user is logged on, but has his screensaver on you normal can't get access as "QueryIfNoLogon" find a logged user.to overwrite this set QueryAccept=2 and QueryIfNoLogon=0 -> no messagebox when screen is locked.
LockSetting=0 0="none" 1="lock workstation on disconnect(NA)" 2="logoff on disconnect"
MaxCpu=xxxMaxCpu=100 (winvnc can use full 100% cpu)MaxCpu=40 (winvnc can use max 40% cpu)
RemoveWallpaper=1 A image as background takes more cpu and bigger bandwidth then a solid color. Disable on viewer connect, reenable on exit.
RemoveAero=1 Remove Aero on viewer connect and reset on exit. Makes Vista win7 Faster
Avilog=0 Currently not used
path=d:\ultravnc_src\ultravnc\winvnc\debug Define the directory in which to save the winvnc.log file. Make sure this directory is writable by system ( no mapped folder)
DebugLevel=0 DebugLevel indicates how much debug information to present. Any positive integer is valid. Zero indicates that no debugging information should be produced and is the default. A value of around 10-12 will cause full debugging output to be produced
DebugMode=0 Run-time logging of all internal debug messages is now supported. Log data may be output to a file or a console window or the MSVC debugger if the program was compiled with debugging active.)
AllowLoopback=0 0 = Disable connection from localhost (Default)1 = Enable connection from localhostBy default, WinVNC servers disallow any vnc viewer connections from the same machine. For testing purposes, or, potentially, when using multiple instances of WinVNC on Windows Terminal Server, this behaviour is undesirable.
LoopbackOnly=0 By default, WinVNC servers accept incoming connections on an network adapter address, since this is the easiest way of coping with multihomed machines. In some cases, it is preferable to only for connections originating from the local machine and aimed at the "localhost" adapter - a particular example is the use of VNC over SSH to provide secure VNC. Setting this will cause WinVNC to only accept local connections - this overrides the AllowLoopback and AuthHosts settings.
AllowShutdown=1Allows Shutdown tray menu option to be visible (1) or not (0)
AllowProperties=1 0 = Disable "Properties" option in uvnc server tray menu1 = Enable "Properties" option in uvnc server tray menu
AllowEditClients=1 0 = Disable "Edit Clients" options in uvnc server tray menu1 = Enable "Edit Clients" options in uvnc server tray menu
KeepAliveInterval=5 Timings for Filetransfer and keepalive message (seconds)
DisableTrayIcon=0 Don't show the winvnc tray icon. Without the tray icon you can't make realtime changes. You need to edit the ultravnc.ini manual or use the uvnc_settings.exe to modify the file. Settings take efect after winvnc restart.
MSLogonRequired=0 Use MS password instead of the vncpasswd
NewMSLogon=0 Use ACL instead of a group list
ConnectPriority=0 ConnectPriority indicates what WinVNC should do when a" non-shared connection is received By default, all WinVNC servers will disconnect any existing connections when an incoming, non-shared connection is authenticated. This behaviour is undesirable when the server machine is being used as a shared workstation by several users or when remoting a single display to multiple clients for viewing, as in a classroom situation.
UseRegistry=0 0= use ultravnc.ini 1= use registry the same way as in v102 AuthRequired=1 By default, all WinVNC servers will not accept incoming connections unless the server has had its password field set to a non-null value. This restriction was placed to ensure that misconfigured servers would not open security loopholes without the user realising. If a server is only to be used on a secure LAN, however, it may be desirable to forego such checking and allow machines to have a null password.
sendbuffer=xxxxvariable available starting uvnc 188.8.131.52sendbuffer=1500 (wifi or value less)sendbuffer=4096 (lan 100Mbit)sendbuffer=8192 (lan 1GBit, aka jumbo packet)
[ultravnc] passwd=AAA967DDDDD692AE9C
password lenght 8 byte alphadigit + 1 byte alphadigit checksum by uvnc but ignoredyou can use vnc pwd generator and then manually add 2 caracters alphadigitpasswd = full control read/writepasswd2= watch (read only) <-- available since uvnc 184.108.40.206never use both same password ! otherwise, only watch, read only
[poll] TurboMode=1 Fast scan screen, some small changes can be missed
PollUnderCursor=0 Poll the window below the cursor
PollForeground=0 Poll the foreground window
PollFullScreen=1 Poll the full screen ( default)
OnlyPollConsole=0 Don't use
OnlyPollOnEvent=1 Bad updates, only poll screen when mouse/keyboard is used. Minimize bandwidt
EnableDriver=0 Use mirror driver when installed
EnableHook=1 Use hookdll when installed
SingleWindowName= Current not used
[admin_auth] group1= group2= group3= locdom1=0 locdom2=0 locdom3=0 Used by MSlogon ( not new mslogon)
winvnc [-sc_promt] [-sc_exit] [-id:????] [-autoreconnect[ ID:????]] [-connect host[:port]] [-connect host[::port]] [-run]
Parameters are order dependent !!
-connect host[:port]-connect host <--- would connect to port 5500if port < 1024 +5900 is addedSample: host:1 -> port=5901,host:21 -> port=5921 -connect host[::port] ( 2 X : )host::21 -> port=21Special case: host[::port] =??? == request host and port
-autoreconnectIs used in conjunction with the -connect switch when having a server "Reverse-connect" to a listening viewer. You can use it in a batch file for your clients that are behind a firewall that is not under your control. The batch file looks something like this: "c:\program files\ultravnc\winvnc" -autoreconnect -connect 126.96.36.199 On the local computer run the viewer in "listening" mode, and have someone on the server end run the batch file. The -autoreconnect will make the server end attempt to reconnect to the listening viewer if the connection drops or is closed. It will immediately reconnect to the listening viewer if the session is closed. Close the listening viewer altogether in order to stop the server end from "autoreconnecting" to your computer. The server attempts to "autoreconnect" for only a few seconds. Note that this "autoreconnect" param must be before the "connect" one on the command line! -autoreconnect[ ID:????] -id:???? The id is used when using a repeater. In that case the id identify the server to the repeater. When id is used, the host in "-connect host..." is the repeater. example:winvnc -sc_prompt -sc_exit -id:1234 -connect repeaterhost -run-kill Close winvnc running as service or started as application -run Need to be the last parameter, tell winvnc that no more parameters are left -sc_prompt This option modify some behavioiur for Single Click usage. *Pass server info to viewer and request viewer accept (This use an unofficial rfb protocol, require ultravnc viewer) -sc_exit *Server quit when viewer disconnect *Don't exit when desktop switch to UAC/winlogon -settings Internal used to be able to save to ultravnc.ini. On >= Vista, the program folder is a protected folder and require elevated permission. ultravnc.ini is first saved in a temp folder, then this file is red and data is copied to the real ultravnc.ini in program files.
-securityeditor Start the acl editor for mslogon II SERVICE-service Internal switch used by uvnc_service to tell winvnc is started by a service -service_run Internal used for the special service_commandline option in ultravnc.ini. -stopserviceStop winvnc service -startserviceStop winvnc as application and restart winvnc as service -install Install the service, require admin (<=xp) or elevated access ( >=Vista) -uninstall Uninstall the service, require admin (<=xp) or elevated access ( >=Vista) -uninstallhelper -installhelper -startservicehelper -stopservicehelper -securityeditorhelper -settingshelper Internal used by winvnc. The helpers are needed to simulate the current console user ( Service run as system). The start winvnc with the corresponding command line without "helper" with the "runas" option. Sample winvnc (press install service) -->create process as current userwinvnc -installhelper winvnc -installhelper -> start winvnc -install with (shellexec "runas" option)-multi : don't check if winvnc is already running

The Met Gala in New York City is always an ultra-high-profile affair, with fashionphiles around the globe waiting with bated breath to see what celebrities, socials and style savants wear to walk the red carpet.
Each year the theme for the ball, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is inspired by the museum's annual fashion exhibition. And while 2013's punk-themed soiree was hit-and-miss (red carpet-wise), this year most attendees dazzled with glamorous ball gowns inspired by the Met's Charles James: Beyond Fashion. James, known for his impeccable, dramatic dresses, is considered by many to be America's first couturier. His work also is the subject of an upcoming exhibition at The Menil Collection in Houston.
Check out our slideshow for all the sartorial splendor, from Old Hollywood-style, voluminous floor-sweepers to, well, Lupita Nyong'o's heavily embellished but barely there Prada ensemble.

Active troops who come out as transgendered risk being categorized as mentally unfit and ousted from the ranks.
So Kristin Beck waited until retirement to reveal her true female identity, a move that many expect to influence the military's policy on transgenders.
In her book "Warrior Princess," Kristin talks about the 13 deployments (seven in war zones) over 20 years she served in the military as Chris Beck, a decorated Navy SEAL and part of an elite team that later went on to capture Osama bin Laden.
People always saw Kristin as a "man's man." Growing up as Chris, he bought a motorcycle, played football and joined the military.
"But underneath his burly beard, Chris had a secret, one that had been buried deep inside his heart since he was a little boy — one as hidden as the panty hose in the back of his drawer," reads the book synopsis on Amazon.com. "He was transgender, and the woman inside needed to get out."
Over the years, it dawned on Kristin that she was meant to live as a woman, an internal battle that called for the strength of a warrior princess, she says in her surprisingly candid memoir (most SEALs pen those under a pseudonym or many years after their service). Upon leaving the military, she underwent hormonal therapies and took on a new identity, fighting PTSD, societal pressures and family rejection. Earlier this year, she decided to publicly announce the change, uploading a photo of herself in a dress, makeup, curled done-up hair and an elegant necklace onto her LinkedIn profile.
"I am now taking off all my disguises and letting the world know my true identity as a woman," wrote Kristin, who during her military tenure earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
The response poured in from her SEAL brothers: Overwhelming support.
"Brother, I am with you … being a SEAL is hard, this looks harder. Peace," wrote one, per The Atlantic Wire.
"I can't say I understand the decision but I respect the courage. Peace and happiness be upon you," wrote another.
"I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that Kris has all the support and respect from me that Chris had … and quite possibly more," states yet another soldier. "While I'm definitely surprised, I'm also in amazement at the strength you possess and the courage necessary to combat the strangers and 'friends' that I'm guessing have reared their ugly heads prior to and since your announcement …"
The response heartened Kristin, LGBT activists and other transgendered servicemen and -women, who are still banned from serving in the troops two years after Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed and just days after the first veteran successfully petitioned to change her sex on military documents.
Despite the military's unforgiving stance on the transgendered, that segment of the LGBT community enlists at double the rate of the average population. A former military psychologist found that biologically male U.S. veterans "were twice as likely as their civilian counterparts to identify as female," according to Courthouse News. The study credits the statistic to a born-male transgendered's tendency to cope with feelings of femininity with a "flight to hypermasculinity."
With luck, coming-out stories like Kristin's will go a long way in shattering stereotypes and, as predicted, affect policy changes from the top down.

A different way of looking at Ohio Achievement Test data looks good to Fayette elementary school principal Dr. LuAnn Boyer.
Dr. Boyer showed the results of the "value-added" analysis to board of education members April 21.
Rather than showing the actual achievement scores, the value added approach shows the progress made from one year to the next. While achievement scores focus on a different group of students each year, the value added approach tracks the same students as they move from one class to another.
Overall, Fayette showed expected or greater gains in seven of 10 categories. Gains were especially impressive in mathematics greater-than-expected gains were shown in four of five grades. Among the county's seven school districts, only Swanton showed the same amount of progress.
An analysis by the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center indicated that a more rigorous curriculum may be needed for the upper students in fourth and sixth grades. Enrichment activities could offer a greater challenge.
In reading, expected for above gain were shown in two of the five grades, however, below-standard growth in the seventh and eighth grades was a state-wide trend, and all Fulton County districts faltered.
Once again, it was noted that challenging activities could benefit the more able students.
"We still have some work to do at a couple of grade levels," Dr. Boyer told the board.
She also said she was a little cautious of the results since this is the first year that value-added scores have been discussed...

LONDON - It's single elimination now, so that means it's Diana Taurasi, Tamika Catchings and Sue Bird time.
The U.S. women will turn to the veteran leadership of the three-time Olympians when they meet Canada in the first game of the win-or-go-home quarterfinals on Tuesday.
The trio have been part of the team's dominant run over the last 16 years, helping the Americans win the last two gold medals. Now they'll try to get them back to the semifinals for the seventh straight Olympics.
"With our experience we understand what's ahead of us, what's at stake, what you have to do, how you have to play, we can lead by example that way," Bird said.
Gold is the only colour the Americans have known at the last four Olympic games. Teresa Edwards and Katrina McClain got the run started in 1996 before passing the leadership to Dawn Staley and Lisa Leslie.
Now Taurasi, Catchings and Bird are the leaders — each having their own style.
"Sue's subtle and effective, Diana's very sledge hammer and very effective and Tamika just plays, doesn't say much, doesn't draw a lot of attention. She just plays," U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. "I said to Dee this morning, we looked really good when you knock down five shots in the first quarter. Everyone else let's out a sigh of relief. Having those vets step up, that's huge.
"If we get Tamika, Dee and Sue all playing great everyone else just fills in."
The Americans cruised through pool play winning by an average of 37 points. But now the stakes are raised with the U.S. facing elimination with a loss.
"It's one and done," Bird said. "You can't overlook that, you can't have a bad night. I think really, the way I took that you have to make sure you're ready to play. In the pool play, if we lost we'd still advance. Now you have to come and play in every single game."
While Taurasi deferred to her teammates early on in pool play, she's been more aggressive on offence lately. She had 22 in the Americans 114-66 win over China on Sunday that clinched the top spot in the group.
"We're at the point in the tournament now where she has to be Diana and not worry about everybody else," Auriemma said. "Just worry about yourself and everything will be OK."
Unlike their opponents, Canada is in uncharted territory. America's northern neighbours are playing in their first quarter-finals.
"Canada has been in every single game and they finished fourth," Auriemma said. "They've had a chance in every game. It's the kind of tournament where you've got to play well every night. For us we're a little fortunate that we're a little deeper."
Canada has several players on its roster who played college basketball in the U.S., including Courtnay Pilypaitis (Vermont), Lizanne Murphy (Hofstra) and Kim Smith and Shona Thorburn from Utah. The Canadians also have two current college players: Utah's Michelle Plouffe and Notre Dame's Natalie Achonwa.
Canada was the last team to earn a spot in the London Games, finishing fifth at the final FIBA qualifier. The Canadians know they'll need to play really well to have a chance for what would be a monumental upset.
"It's probably a foregone conclusion, but we're going to go play," Canada coach Alison McNeill said. "We're going to play hard and do the best we can do to win. They're unbelievable good. We've played with Russia and Australia, so can we play with them? We're about to find out."

HICKORY, N.C. - Pfeiffer University netted the first seven goals on Saturday morning en route to a 21-5 season opening win at Lenoir-Rhyne University in non-conference women's lacrosse action at Moretz Stadium. Liz Melesh and Shannon Bonnel each tallied four goals as the Lady Falcons win their season opener while the Bears start their inaugural year 0-2.
Sarah Hebberd started the day's scoring just 41 seconds in as Melesh and Bonnel quickly followed for a 3-0 lead. Rachel Hebberd and Katherine Atkins each followed with their first collegiate goals of the season while Sarah Hebberd and Alex Cook made it 7-0 coming up on the halfway point of the first. Lenoir-Rhyne struck for back-to-back tallies from Rachel Hall and Hayley Beattie but Pfeiffer rattled off the next five goals to take a 13-3 lead at the break.
The Bears put home two quick goals to start the second as Sarah Minick and Beattie made it 13-5, but Pfeiffer rolled to the end with the next eight unanswered goals. Athens added two more in that stretch with Bonnel while Melesh netted three within an eight minute span.
Pfeiffer will head to Belmont Abbey for a non-conference tilt on Wednesday beginning at 3:00 p.m.

Kate Middleton flies commercial, shocks entire plane
She got one special perk though…
She got one special perk though…
The Duchess of Cambridge wrapped up her first solo trip to the Netherlands on Tuesday night. Middleton left the way any normal, non-royal would: on a commercial flight bound for Britain.
Passengers on the 7:15 p.m. British Airways flight to London from Rotterdam promptly lost it the moment Kate Middleton stepped onto the plane, The Daily Mail reported.
Bodyguards escorted her onto the plane for the 50-minute flight, where she sat in the front row. People on the plane grabbed their phones and snapped pics of her.
As one source put it to the outlet, "(I've) never seen so many iPhones pop up at once."
Well, obviously:
But Middleton received one perk no other passenger got: to be escorted off the plane first, once it landed, "a couple minutes" before the other passengers.
A car was reportedly waiting on the tarmac at London City Airport to take her home.
The Duchess has flown commercial before while on royal duty, but it's not a common occurrence. She and Prince William famously flew on a regular plane back to England from Los Angeles in 2011-- though in first class.

Gates Foundation awards 1.7 million to inspire supply chain innovation
by Raja Rao, [The] Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Earlier this year, 17 different proposals on how to optimize immunization systems were each awarded $100,000 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through its Grand Challenges Explorations initiative. Raja Rao gives an overview of each proposal.
A "bulletin board" for broadcasting vaccine supply and demand
Arun Ramanujapuram of Logistimo in India proposes to develop a mobile phone-based "bulletin board" for capturing and broadcasting availability and demand information for vaccines and medicines. By bringing real-time visibility to these essential goods, stock can be appropriately redistributed to areas of need, and waste can be reduced.
A mobile cloud system to achieve universal vaccination
Alain Labrique of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the USA will develop and field test in rural Bangladesh a cloud-based mobile phone system that will allow for universal access to vaccination records, send vaccine reminders and messaging, and provide incentives to parents and health care workers via a phone application. This new strategy could increase the reach, coverage, and public acceptance of immunization.
A passive solar thermal standard for vaccine storage rooms
Loriana Dembele of Eau et Vie Jiduma in Mali proposes to develop new architecture and construction guidelines for vaccine storage rooms in hot climates that incorporate passive solar thermal technologies to keep vaccines at recommended temperatures. The team will construct and test prototype storage facilities using a variety of building materials to determine new standards that prevent vaccine spoilage, reduce operating costs, and improve refrigeration capabilities.
Development and first field-testing of battery-free solar freezers
Steve McCarney of the Solar Electric Light Fund in the USA proposes to accelerate the development and field-testing of two solar-powered, battery-free, ice-pack freezers to provide a missing link in the cold chain where outreach efforts require frozen packs to cool vaccines during transport and immunization sessions.
An anti-vaccine surveillance and alert system
Seth Kalichman of the http://www.uconn.edu/ in the USA will establish an Internet-based global monitoring and rapid alert system for finding, analyzing, and counteracting communication campaigns containing misinformation regarding vaccines to support global immunization efforts.
A geospatial optimization tool
Payal Kamdar of http://www.vsolvit.com/ in the USA proposes to develop a customizable geographical information system web application platform that integrates existing data in a particular region (e.g., population, locations of vaccines stores, health care facilities, transportation options, even weather) to maximize delivery of vaccines to target populations.
Compostable vaccine packaging
Claire Dillavou of the University of California, Los Angeles in the USA will develop compostable vaccine packaging to diminish the environmental impact of residual debris from mass vaccination campaigns in developing countries lacking adequate disposal infrastructure.
Net-zero energy warehousing systems for drugs and vaccines
Jonathan Colton of Georgia Institute of Technology in the USA, with John Lloyd, Andrew Garnett, and Steve McCarney, will solicit proposals from industry to create a full set of requirements and engineering specifications for the development of a new "net-zero energy" warehouse and distribution system for vaccines and drugs in developing countries.
On-demand vaccine delivery via low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles
George Barbastathis of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology in the USA will lead a team to develop unmanned aerial vehicles that can be deployed by health care workers via cell phones to swiftly transport vaccines to rural locations and alleviate last-mile delivery problems and improve cost, quality, and coverage of vaccine supplies.
Phase change material freeze-prevention liner for vaccines
Profitable vaccine distribution in emerging markets
Lisa Ganley-Leal and Pauline Mwinzi of Epsilon Therapeutics in the USA will test the hypothesis that selling vaccines through medicine shops in emerging markets can lead to profits for both vaccine developers and small business owners. Demonstrating profitability may lead pharmaceutical companies to invest greater resources in vaccine development and distribution and develop local partnerships for profitability strategies.
Remote monitoring of the cold chain distribution of vaccines
Nithya Ramanathan of Nexleaf Analytics in the USA, working with Direct Relief International and Medic Mobile, is developing cell phone sensors that monitor refrigerated vaccine stocks and generate geo-tagged alerts when vaccines reach critical temperatures. The sensors could enable affordable, remote monitoring of vaccine safety throughout the supply chain.
Robust mobile component for logistics
Anup Akkihal of Logistimo in India proposes to develop a cloud-based mobile supply chain platform that allows real-time data to be accessed by mobile phone and web-based applications, enabling information sharing and optimized decision support that can maximize immunization coverage for children worldwide.
Single-vial system
Spyridon Tsakas of Eulysis UK Limited in the United Kingdom will test an innovative single-vial system technology that allows for easier transport, reconstitution, and storage of vaccines with lyophilized components. Data gathered on its packaging, transportability, and in situ lyophilization potential will help optimize the technology for safe vaccine delivery to the developing world.
SMS mobile technology for vaccine coverage and acceptance
Edwin Asturias of Children's Hospital Colorado in the USA will test a mobile phone short message service (SMS) system that will provide messaging texts to parents of infants in Guatemala in an effort to improve timely immunizations, increase vaccine acceptance, and provide a tool for reporting of side effects.
Use of bar codes for vaccine introductions in poor countries
Vaccine freeze-damage assessment for improved supply systems
Richard Gilstrap of Innovar Scientific in the USA will develop and test a device for rapid detection of freeze damage in widely used adjuvant-type vaccines. This device could provide critical information needed for cold chain optimization and effective immunization programs.

Tom Cruise became the latest celebrity to get a soaking on Jimmy Fallon's TV show this week as part of a water game fight.
The Hollywood superstar made an appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday to promote his new movie "Jack Reacher," and the host persuaded the actor to get involved in his now regular challenge.
Cruise gamely took part in Water War and got drenched, before pulling out a massive water pistol and giving the host a taste of his own medicine.
Other famous faces to have previously got a soaking on the show include "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson and "X-Men" star Hugh Jackman.

UC Irvine Takes Game 1 of NCAA Super Regional, 11-5
LSU Sports Interactive
BATON ROUGE -- The UC Irvine Anteaters took advantage of five walks to build a lead while starter Scott Gorgen (12-3) limited LSU to one earned run in 6.2 innings, as the Tigers lost for the first time since April 19, 11-5, in game 1 of the NCAA Super Regional.
LSU (46-17-1), which entered the game with a Southeastern Conference-record 23-game winning streak, will look to survive in the best-of-three series on Sunday at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN. Should LSU win on Sunday, the rubber match would be played at 6 p.m. Monday on ESPN2.
Sunday's game will also be aired live on the LSU Sports Radio Network beginning with the pregame show at 2:45 p.m. on Eagle 98.1 FM in the Baton Rouge area and in the Geaux Zone on LSUsports.net.
Senior right-hander Jared Bradford will start Sunday's game on the mound for LSU, while UC Irvine will counter with left-hander Daniel Bibona.
UC Irvine (42-16) moved within a game of the College World Series by pounding 13 hits and scoring its first five runs off LSU walks.
"I'm disappointed because I don't think we played very well at all tonight in any aspects of the game," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "We got off to a bad start by walking the first two batters of the game. Like Irvine does, they execute. If you make mistakes they are going to take advantage of it. They bunted them over and got a base hit and we are down 2-0 right away. There was a point in the game where we had given up six runs and five of them were walks. That's not typical of our pitching staff, walking so many batters. That hurt us, obviously.
"Their pitcher (Gorgen) was really good. I admire the kid a lot. He is a real competitor who competed really hard. He got a little bit of a break because the sun never came out today. It has been scorching all week, and when the game began the clouds moved in and cooled it off a little bit for him and helped him with his endurance. The kid competed really hard and got our number today. "
Gorgen, the Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year, was spectacular in 6 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits with eight strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Anteaters hit four doubles and two home runs in the victory. First baseman Jeff Cusick led the way with a 3-for-4 performance with two RBI. Rightfielder Sean Madigan hit a three-run home run to give UC Irvine a 6-1 lead in the sixth.
LSU starter Ryan Verdugo (9-3) left the game after five innings trailing 3-1 and was tagged with the loss. He gave up three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and three walks.
Shortstop DJ LeMahieu and rightfielder Leon Landry each drove in two runs for the Tigers.
Walks hurt the Tigers, starting with the first two batters of the game. Verdugo's rough start brought Mainieri out of the dugout before the first out was recorded on a sacrifice bunt that moved the runs to second and third. A two-RBI single up the middle by Tony Asaro gave the Anteaters a 2-0 lead.
LSU cut the lead in half with an unearned run in the bottom of the second inning when first baseman Matt Clark hit a one-out ground-rule double down the right field line. Shortstop DJ LeMahieu reached on a fielding error. Clark then scored on a sacrifice fly to center field by Leon Landry.
In the fifth, a leadoff walk by Verdugo again came around to score -- this time to the No. 9 hitter in the Anteaters order. Catcher Aaron Lowenstein then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and to third on a wild pitch. Lowenstein then scored on a bloop single over the out-stretched glove of Clark at first base.
UC Irvine's 3-1 looked to be 5-1 when Landry tracked a home run by Asaro at the 405-foot sign in center field -- and brought it back. The ball cleared the 10-foot fence when Landry snagged it and fell to the ground. The home crowd erupted when he came up the ball and tossed it back toward the infield.
Paul Bertuccini entered in relief of Verdugo to start the sixth inning, but suffered the same fate with walks to Larson and Stevenson start the inning. Two batters later, Sean Madigan hit his second home run of the season to put UC Irvine up 6-1.
Bertuccini was relieved by Daniel Bradshaw, who gave up a double to Lowenstein before recording the final out of the inning.
After trailing in 17 of 23 games during its winning streak, the Tigers were no strangers to comebacks. And, when Gorgen walked three-straight batters with two outs in the sixth, another comeback looked to be in the works. Lanrdy singled off of Gorgen's glove to score catcher Micah Gibbs from third.
With the bases still loaded, UC Irvine tried to catch the Tigers napping with a hidden ball trick. Stevenson charged from his second-base position toward LeMahieu who had returned to the bag. However, the second base umpire called LeMahieu out to end the inning.
As the Anteaters ran off the field, the Tigers players, coaches and most of the 7,460 fans in attendance were incensed. First-base coach Javi Sanchez was ejected for arguing the call.
With the crowd still buzzing -- and an extended delay between innings -- Bradshaw gave up a double to Cusick to start the inning. He advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a single by pinch hitter Dillon Bell. With two outs, Eric Deragisch's single to left was misplayed by Jared Mitchell, allowing Bell to score from first for an 8-2 lead.
Three more Anteaters runs in the top of the eighth inning were matched by three in the bottom of the frame by LSU. LeMahieu hit a two-run home run and Ryan Schimpf hit an RBI triple before being thrown out at home after an errant throw back to the infield.
"I'm really proud of the fact that we have the longest winning streak in SEC baseball history," Mainieri said. "It wasn't going to last forever because in this sport it doesn't. By the same token, we hadn't paid much attention to it. There are bigger goals in mind, so hopefully we can start a new streak tomorrow. We just have to try to win one in a row tomorrow."

On the out at second base on the hidden ball trick ...
"It certainly was a big play in the game. We were down, but we had the bases loaded and a pretty good hitter up. I would have loved to have seen the kid get a chance to swing the bat. I can't tell you what the umpire told me, but I will say that from my vantage point I saw DJ (LeMahieu) one step off the base. I saw the pitcher standing on the back side probably on the turf, off the clay barely. The second baseman broke for it, and DJ took his left foot and stepped back on the base.
"I thought he was clearly safe getting back. I didn't think the umpire was watching. There was a long hesitation. I think their second baseman sold them on the call by showing them the ball and running off the field. He called him out, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't think that it was even a doubt that he was back on the base, and I didn't think the umpire was even watching the play, quite frankly."
LSU Player Quotes
On his at bats against UCI starting pitcher Scott Gorgen...
"I battled him and got a couple of pitches in the zone and tried not to miss them. I got a couple of hits out of it, but we didn't have our best offensive game as a whole. It didn't really mean a whole lot when we didn't win the game. We battled, but we didn't get the result we wanted today."
On UCI starting pitcher Scott Gorgen...
"He was pretty good. He changed speeds a lot and got people to swing. I swung at quite a few pitches out of the zone which put me in a hole and he's not the kind of pitcher you want to get yourself in a hole against. He's got good stuff. His fastball has good velocity and he has a good changeup. If you dig yourself in a hole against him it's going to be tough to get yourself out of it. We didn't get him tonight, he got us. We just need to come back out tomorrow and play baseball the way we've been playing.
"He threw me a lot of changeups. On my first at bat, he threw me five changeups and one fastball. The whole time I've been hitting the ball well if I get myself out that's when I'm in trouble and I got myself in a hole tonight. He capitalized on it and I don't blame him for throwing it over and over if I'm going to swing at it. He just kept putting the ball there and I wasn't laying off."
On his eighth-inning home run...
"On the home run I was just trying to see the ball up. It was late in the game and we didn't win the game so it's really not an issue."
On being called out at second base with the bases loaded in the sixth inning...
"I was one foot off the base and I saw the second baseman run at me out of the corner of my eye and I put my foot back on the base before he tagged me. That's what happened."
UC Irvine head coach Mike Gillespie
Opening Statement...
"We had really great performance tonight with the team and with Scott Gorgen. We capitalized and exploited a couple opportunities after some base runs. We got a clutch base hit early and other base run hits. The three run home run by Madigan (Sean) was giant and well played out. The pitch hitters came up big; we got a big play in right field and had a great diving play. So, far it was a little bit of everything and a lot of different guys took part in this win. We had a lot of heroes. Obviously this is a big win for us, huge win, and great win and upward it should be a good game tomorrow."
On the play at second base...
"No, I've never heard of that play before. I don't have any idea where it came from, but I thought it was a great idea. I did not see the play but I heard it was a good play."
On Sean Madigan...
"Well, Sean( Madigan) has had a real good run for about a month with right and left handed pitchers. He's not a guy who gives into left handed pitches. But, what we could expect from this game was a selection of pitches that Sean would be matched well against. He additionally gives us an extra demission on defense."
RF Sean Madigan
On his home run...
"We just had a nice sacrifice bunt that moved runners in. It was a big run. He threw me two straight curve balls and then he threw another one for a strike. Usually I don't do this, but I was just sitting on another curve ball and I just connected."
2B Casey Stevenson
On the hidden ball play...
"We had just gotten into some trouble that inning with some walks. Bases were loaded and [LSU] had just gotten that infield single. Right after I got the ball, I had it in my mind that I was going to try to do that because the momentum was in their favor."
"I didn't think they were going to be paying attention to that. I told Scott [Gorgen] to stay off the dirt and held onto the ball. He took his lead when [Gorgen] was still off the dirt and I wanted to wait for him to get farther off, but I saw the first and third base coach looking around. I decided that was the time to go for it."
"I thought he was off the bag by a little bit. When he reached back I think he missed the bag by a little bit. I think that is what the umpires collaborated and saw. Everyone on the team did a good job of selling it. We were screaming We got him. We got him.' We started running off the field before the ump even made the call and he made the out call."
P Scott Gorgen
On pitching against LSU...
"I felt good. I wasn't at my best the last couple of outings and I knew that this was a good atmosphere with a lot of people and a lot of noise."
"I was able to locate my pitches early and get ahead. At that point, I was just mixing all three of my pitches and locating my fast ball in and out. We got them to ground out and fly out and I have to give the credit to my team, mainly Aaron Lowenstein behind the plate. That guy works his butt off every game. He is the heart and soul behind there."

Malloy: Observe Dec. 14 with 'kindness'
Connecticut residents should consider days of community service and kindness to mark the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said last week.
Malloy, speaking after he introduced a daylong symposium about the Second Amendment at the University of Connecticut School of Law, said he supports the decision of Newtown officials to refrain from holding public events on Dec. 14.
"First of all, I think we need to respect Newtown and the families, at least with respect to Newtown wanting it to be low-key" Malloy told reporters. "I think calling for acts of kindness and service makes a lot of sense as an appropriate way to remember those who died just under a year ago.
"I want to do everything I can to be helpful and supportive of the families and the community; to not get in the way, but to remind our Connecticut citizenry of what we've come through."
Malloy declined to say what he plans to do to mark the anniversary of the massacre of 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"I'm giving a lot of thought to it," he said. "Whatever we do will be respectful of the families and respectful of the community of Newtown. At the same time, we will mark the occasion in some appropriate fashion."
Malloy made his remarks after opening the UConn symposium, in which he told about 200 people that he supports the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners.
"But no right is without its limitations," Malloy said. "Research clearly shows that there is a direct correlation between stricter gun regulation and fewer firearm fatalities."
The governor pointed out that recent grants for added school security have brought the total amount available to $21 million.
"Rather than turn our schools into fortresses, with armed guards posted outside every classroom, we chose instead to work with municipalities to harden the infrastructure of our most-vulnerable schools," he said. "We will never be able to prevent even random acts, but we can take the steps necessary to make sure that our children and our teachers are as safe as possible."
Malloy stressed that while the vast majority of the American public supports universal background checks for prospective gun buyers, the proposal continues to die in Congress.
"We have a long history of regulating firearms in our country," he said.

Actress Olivia Wilde reached out to pal Jennifer Aniston for advice on how to handle the media after a joke about her sex life with fiancé Jason Sudeikis turned her into a tabloid target.
The "TRON: Legacy" beauty hit the headlines last year after quipping that she and her boyfriend were like Kenyan marathon runners in the bedroom.
The intense media scrutiny prompted Wilde to turn to her close friend – Sudeikis' "We're The Millers" co-star – for help, because Aniston had "been through the wringer" following her high-profile romances with Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.
Wilde felt sure Aniston would be able to offer her the best advice on fame management and tells Allure magazine, "I explained the situation, and I said I needed advice on how to deal with these things.
"She wrote me one of the most gracious, wise emails describing her journey and really wonderful words of advice about how to deal with it. And, in the end, I think I would do it all again exactly the same way."

Before the Senate gaveled out for the 83rd legislative session, it paused to remember deceased relatives of two Senators and the Senate Secretary in three separate resolutions.
In solemn speeches, lawmakers remembered Rex Neal Van de Putte, the infant grandson of Sen. Leticia Van de Putte; Remarcus West, son of Sen. Royce West and Gregory Shaw, son of secretary Patsy Shaw. Before the senate unanimously adopted the resolutions, Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, said, "You and your families have suffered unbearable losses, and we hold each of you in our thoughts and prayers."
Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, said Rex was "an adorable baby boy with beautiful blue eyes and a winsome smile – Rex was a charmer." He died suddenly at five months old in May.
Remarcus West, 33, died in 2011 of a gastrointestinal condition. He was "devoted to his parents, siblings and friends," said Sen. Jane Nelson, and "will long be remembered with affection and appreciation by all who were privileged to know him."
Nelson said a scholarship had been established for West at the University of North Texas to "help students surmount their own obstacles."
Also remembered was Gregory Steven Spaw, 40, who died in November in a single-vehicle crash. The son of secretary Patsy Spaw, he left behind seven children, said Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, and was a baseball enthusiast who "loved animals, flowers, trees and the spring rain."
Regardless of their age, Eltife said, "the death of a child is an unbelievable tragedy, and their premature passing leaves a void in the lives of those near and dear to them."
Van de Putte thanked her peers, and said that their love and support was "exactly why this Senate is so very special, and unlike any other legislative body. You are not just my colleagues, you are my family, and you showed it. For that I will be eternally grateful."
West also rose to speak on the resolution.
"Members," he said before he was overcome with emotion, "I just can't at this moment. Thank you."

Fugitive investigations
Fugitives pose a serious threat to public safety worldwide. They are mobile (often travelling between countries on stolen or fraudulent travel documents), and opportunistic, frequently financing their continued flight from the law through further criminal activities.
Fugitives also undermine the world's criminal justice systems. They may have been charged with a violation of the law but not been arrested. They may have been released on bail and then fled to avoid prosecution or perhaps they have escaped from prison. When fugitives flee, cases are not adjudicated, convicted criminals fail to meet their obligations, and crime victims are denied justice.
INTERPOL's role
At INTERPOL, a dedicated Fugitive Investigative Support Unit provides proactive and systematic assistance to member countries and other international entities in order to locate and arrest fugitives who cross international boundaries. Its role is to:
Provide investigative support to member countries in ongoing international fugitive investigations;
Develop and implement focused initiatives such as Operation Infra-Red;
Coordinate and enhance international cooperation in the field of fugitive investigations;
Deliver training and conferences;
Collate and disseminate best practice and expert knowledge;
Provide operational support for investigations into genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes to INTERPOL member countries, UN tribunals and the International Criminal Court.
Red notices for wanted persons
One of our most powerful tools in tracking international fugitives is the Red Notice. This seeks the provisional arrest of a wanted person with a view to extradition and is circulated to police in all our member countries. Red notices contain identification details and judicial information about the wanted person.
