ABS Antilock brake system.
Acceleration The second derivative of position with respect to time (the first being velocity). The change in velocity with respect to time. It is expressed in feet per second (fps) squared, meters per second (m/s) squared or the more familiar gravitational unit, g. 1 g is equal to 32.2 fps2 or 9.81 m/s2. Peak acceleration is a measure of the highest recorded acceleration amplitude. Mean acceleration is nearly always less than the peak and is the average acceleration over the duration of the event (total change in velocity divided by the duration).
Acceleration-time history A plot of the acceleration of a body or object (which is usually on the y axis) over time (which is usually on the x axis).
Aggressivity The measure of the aggressiveness of a vehicle in terms of the potential damage it inflicts upon its crash partner, or the potential for injury or death of the crash partner's occupants; aggessivity=fatalities in collision partner/number of crashes of subject vehicle.
AIS Abbreviated injury scale.
ATD Anthropometric test device (or dummy).
Backset The distance between the back of the head and the front of the head restraint.
BEV Barrier equivalent velocity (see also equivalent barrier speed (EBS) and equivalent energy speed (EES)); a value calculated using empirically-derived energy formulae which are based on the results of vehicle-to-rigid-barrier crash tests and the resulting residual crush; this calculated value—depending on the characteristics of the subject crash—can be equal to, less than, or greater than the vehicle's actual delta V.
Bullet vehicle The vehicle that strikes another vehicle.
CAD Cervical acceleration/deceleration (the kind of force-induced kinematic response occurring in the occupants of rear-struck vehicles).
CAFE Corporate average fuel economy; an average economy required by the government of all auto manufacturers. It is in constant flux, changing by government decree and there are standards for passenger cars and light trucks, vans, and SUVs.
CDS Crash worthiness data system.
Cervical spine distortion A common German term for whiplash.
Change of velocity Also known as delta V, it is the difference between a vehicle's pre-impact velocity and its post-impact velocity. It is considered one of the more important crash parameters in terms of understanding injury risk in all collisions.
Closing velocity This term defines the differential velocity between two crash partners and is more meaningful than impact velocity for the purposes of considering injury risk.
Compression Opposite of tensile stress. A downward force on the head, for example, would result in axial compression of the spine.
Covariant When variables tend to vary with each other and are not strictly independent. Shoe size and weight are covariable. Age and the number of health practitioner visits are covariable.
Crash partner The other vehicle one crashes with.
Crash pulse Usually the acceleration-time history of a crash.
Crashworthiness The ability of a vehicle to protect its occupants in a crash.
DAI Diffuse Axonal Injury.
DOT Department of Transportation.
Dynamic crush The total amount of structural crush occurring in a crash; due to the elasticity of steel, this measurement will generally be higher than the residual crush; at maximal dynamic crush, colliding cars have no relative velocity (inertial forces at the interface are zero).
EBS Equivalent barrier speed (see BEV).
EDR Event data recorder.
EES Equivalent energy speed (see BEV).
Elastic modulus The ratio of the increment of some form of stress to the increment of some specified form of strain (e.g., Young's modulus, shear modulus, etc.). Also known as the coefficient of elasticity.

Head lag The rearward motion of the head relative to the torso during the first phase of whiplash.
Head overspeed Increased speed over that of the torso during the forward phase of CAD; due primarily to the kinematic effect of the head's rearward phase combined with the head restraint's coefficient of restitution, the elasticity of human tissues, and the dynamics of a seat rotating around a pivot at the base.
Head restraint geometry Described the relationship between the occupant's head and neck and the head restraint; usually in terms of backset and topset.
HIC Head injury criterion.
IARV Injury assessment reference values.
IIHS Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (www.iihs.org).
IIS Injury Impairment Scale.
Impact velocity The term impact velocity describes the velocity that one vehicle is traveling at the time it strikes another vehicle; in the context of injury mechanics, it is not very meaningful (see closing velocity).
ISS Injury Severity Scale.
Jerk The third derivative of position with respect to time. The change in acceleration with respect to time, expressed in fps3.
km/h Kilometers per hour; to convert km/h to mph multiply by 0.621.

m/s Meters per second.
MADYMO Mathematical dynamic model; it is a multibody mathematical system used in crash testing simulation.
MAIS Maximum AIS.
Momentum Also known as linear momentum or vector momentum. Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity.

Occupant/vehicle coupling The point at which the occupant and vehicle attain a common velocity.
PET Positron emission tomography.
PMHS Post mortem human subject (cadaver).
PMTO Post mortem test object (cadaver).
Pretensioner A (usually pyrotechnic) dynamic restraint tensioning system designed to draw an occupant into the seat.
Quasistatic loading Laboratory loading condition in which the load is applied gradually and increases incrementally so as to allow for the determination of failure loads.
Radian Or Rad; a unit of angular measurement equal to 57.3 degrees.
Recall bias A condition in which one group of subjects is more likely to recall events than another group (e.g., mothers of children born with cerebral palsy are more likely to accurately recall events during their pregnancies than mothers of healthy babies).
Re-entry The forward phase of whiplash.
Residual crush The amount of measurable crush resulting from a collision.
Retroflexion The opposite of anteflexion; +qy rotation (neck extension).
Ride down A term indicating a reduction in potential force due to an increase in the duration of acceleration time history (e.g., when the knee strikes the knee bolster, the acceleration of the knee is less due to the increased time it takes to compress the bolster padding).
Rotation A turning of the head, for example, from right to left around the z axis; qz.
SAE Society of Automotive Engineers (www.sae.org).
Safety cage The compartment of a vehicle in which occupants ride; also known as the occupant compartment.
SCL-90-R System checklist 90 revised.
sEMG Surface electromyogram.

Tensile stress Stress directed along the longitudinal axis. Stretching in a linear fashion.
TMD Temporomandibular joint disorder.
Topset The distance from the top of the head to the top of the head restraint.
Torque The cross product of a vector from some reference point to the point of application of the force with the force itself. Also known as a moment of force. A twisting as in rotation of the head around the spinal axis.
Torso overspeed When the torso's speed is higher than that of the vehicle in rear impact crashes due, chiefly, to the inherent stiffness of the vehicle's seat back and its coefficient of restitution; once loaded during the rearward phase of the crash, it releases energy during the forward phase.
Unibody A shell type of construction in which the body and chassis are combined; also called monocoque.
WAD	 Whiplash-associated disorders, a term coined by the Quebec Task Force on WAD in 1995 to describe, in rather vague terms, all conditions attributable to whiplash.
Whiplash A term which is variously described in the literature as an injury to the cervical spine and/or supporting soft tissues resulting from motor vehicle trauma: the term, as most often used, excludes fractures or dislocations of vertebrae, and some authors (including myself) limit the term to rear impact crash vectors, while others consider it to include an injury from any type of crash scenario.
Witness marks Subtle residual signs of stress or strain to an object; seen for example as stretch marks on seat belt webbing.
Young's modulus The ratio of a simple tension stress applied to a material to the resulting strain parallel to the tension.

Watkins Returns to Memphis Schools
Former USDA Under Secretary hired to help district address program failures.
Memphis City Schools has hired school nutrition consultant Shirley Watkins to oversee changes in the city¹s controversy-plagued school nutrition department.
Watkins won a Silver Plate Award in 1983 for her direction of the Memphis Schools nutrition program at that time and later joined USDA, where she eventuallywas named Undersecretary of Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services under President Clinton.
"Our intention is to help the Memphis school district implement its new Fresh Start program," Watkins says.
Fresh Start is a program announced recently by Dr. Kriner Cash, the school district's superintendant, that will require all foodservice supervisory and administrative personnel to re-apply for their jobs. All of those jobs in the district were recently posted and will be re-filled with either new hires or existing employees over the next two to three months. Part of that program involves a nationwide search for a new foodservice director for the district.
The Memphis Schools¹ nutrition services department has been under intense scrutiny following an audit late last year that revealed widespread problems with the program¹s management and violations of state and federal regulations. Former director James Jordan resigned amid revelations of improper food handling and business practices at the district¹s food warehouse that resulted in nearly $600,000 worth of food being discarded because it had been improperly stored and handled.
The Memphis district feeds more than 110,000 students a day and has a budget of $56 million.

Trump Avoids Bad Press with New Underground White House Golf Course
Dean Stevens
President Donald Trump seen here in the newly renovated underground White House golf course
Washington, DC (AP) — A reporter for the Associated Press has come into possession of documentation indicating the extensive renovation work currently being carried out on the White House may include an unexpected alteration.
One of the lesser known features of the White House is a subterranean bowling alley, built by President Nixon in 1969 under the driveway to the north portico. It is, in fact, the second such alley to be built at the White House and has become a favorite of both Presidents and staff alike, with President Bush, in particular, being known to have spent much of his time playing with then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld when not required for official duties.
The documents, which were handed to the reporter by one of the contractors approached to carry out the work, purport to show that President Trump plans to replace the bowling alley with a 12.5 million dollar high-tech indoor putting green capable of mimicking different green conditions by raising and lowering the turf via an array of computer controlled hydrologics buried beneath the surface.
Along the 60 foot walls will be a series of floor to ceiling TV screens capable of displaying either photos or video of the course being emulated to immerse the President in his practice.
It is well-known that President Trump is a fan of golf, often being criticized for the amount of time spent at his own resorts. With many increasingly questioning the cost of travel and accommodation being levied on the taxpayer as a result, this change to the White House appears to be a compromise allowing the President to pursue his passion without involving extensive and costly travel.
The AP approached the White House for comment on this story but at the time of writing have yet to receive an official response, though a source who asked to remain anonymous claims the work is already well underway with PGA Champion Jordan Spieth a frequent visitor overseeing the construction. A regular sight at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, Jordan is understood to have a similar practice green at his Dallas mansion. Mr. Spieth was unavailable for comment.

A very handy tool to generate a good load, a must have tool.
Runs multiple queries against SQL Server. You can add as many as you like.
Each query can be either a SQL User or Domain User.
You can specify an Application name for the connection.
You can specify the new of concurrent threads to use for each query.
You can start all queries, stop all queries, remove all queries.
There is logging (you can toggle on and off… it isn't precisely thread safe, and can cause crashes when there are lots of failures on multiple threads) for failed queries.
You can set all the defaults on a per user basis, and persist them.
Each query has a # of Runs and a # of Fails counter. You can use the 'Reset Counters' feature to reset the total counts (not the per query counts).
You can save your settings via the 'Options' menu. You can add default items to the different dropdowns, provide default query settings, change the log locations, etc. You can also modify the stock connection string… though keep in mind some of the settings (particularly 'pooling=false' will affect the way the application works… namely, the connections to SQL Server won't be closed).

Workers with the O'Hanlon Construction Company are used to seeing the white pickup truck with the green municipal seal driven by Yakima County code inspector Ty Davis on the job site. Davis is a 25-year veteran of the position. So when Davis drives up to the site of a municipal tunneling project being run by O'Hanlon, no one is particularly surprised or concerned.
Affable, fit and seemingly inseparable from his mobile device and a Styrofoam cup of coffee with cream and sugar, Davis made his way from the pickup truck, waving a friendly hello to the foreman on the job, Hector Lopes.
"Hector my man, how are we today?" said Davis, walking up to the where Lopes was overseeing a crew of three that was building the forms to lay an asphalt hiking and biking path on the floor of the tunnel.
"I'd be a lot better if those Seahawks would play some run defense," said Lopes, pausing from his work to shake Davis' hand.
"Ahh, they'll get it together, it's early yet," Davis said.
Davis nods to the crew doing the concrete work in the tunnel.
"How's it goin' down there?" he asked.
"You mind if I go down and have a look?" said Davis.
The crew complied, following Lopes up to the food trucks across the street.
Davis walked carefully down the existing bike path to the tunnel floor. Lopes no sooner got to the other side of the street when a horrendous noise shattered the calm of the morning. Lopes sprinted back to the site and couldn't believe what he saw when he looked down to the tunnel.
A portion of the tunnel wall had given way, burying Ty Davis under two tons of concrete, mud and water.
John O'Hanlon, the son of the company founder and a close friend of Ty Davis, was overwhelmed by Davis' death. Even though the culpability for a faulty soil analysis could lie with many parties, O'Hanlon felt he must formally communicate his grief and his commitment to do the right thing by sending an e-mail to county officials.
"We will do everything in our power to see that Ty Davis' family is provided for," the e-mail read, in part.
"Words cannot express my shame and horror that mistakes our company made played a part in the death of my beloved friend," the distraught e-mail concluded.
The same evening the e-mail is received, the head of the Yakima County Board of County Commissioners was interviewed on television saying that executives with long-time county contractor O'Hanlon Construction Company were devastated at their "failure" and had vowed to do what they could to make things right.
Sharon Holmes, the retail broker with whom O'Hanlon placed their professional liability coverage, was working on a renewal when something she saw in her e-mail inbox caused her to stop. It was a construction risk newsletter that contained news of the latest legal findings, settlements and other developments in the construction risk management world.
"What?" Holmes said as she clicked on the e-mail, her attention having been caught by the word "O'Hanlon" in the subject line.
"Contractor admits fault in death of county employee …" Holmes said, reading aloud.
"They can't be serious," she said out loud, reaching for her phone and hastily dialing a number.
"John, it's Sharon Holmes," Holmes said.
"I'm sorry … who?" John O'Hanlon said.
"Sharon Holmes, I'm your professional and general liability insurance broker," Holmes said after a pause.
"Oh … yeah … what can I do for you, Sharon?" O'Hanlon said.
"What you can do for me …" Holmes began, and then stopped herself from saying something she might regret.
"Ummm …" she said, collecting her thoughts.
"Huh? Well, yeah. I had to say something, Ty was my friend. We've been working with Yakima County for more than 20 years," O'Hanlon said.
"John, that may be true, but I wish you had consulted with me before you made any statements," Holmes said.
"The truth is the truth, he died in our tunnel," O'Hanlon said.
Holmes again composed herself, seeking the right delivery.
"Well, Ty's funeral is today, so today is out," O'Hanlon said.
"Tomorrow then, can you do it tomorrow?" Holmes asked.
"Sure … tomorrow," O'Hanlon said weakly.
Holmes hung up with O'Hanlon and immediately dialed the Seattle offices of a major national construction risk carrier.
"Hey Sharon, I had a feeling I'd be hearing from you this morning," said Brian Snyder, the regional claims executive for the carrier.
"So you saw it," said Holmes.
"Yep. Just hit my inbox this morning. I can check the policy … as can you … but I'm pretty sure what it's going to say," Snyder said.
"We go four days without being notified of a job site death, I'm pretty sure coverage will be denied," Snyder said.
"I'll check the policy," Holmes said weakly.
"Suit yourself. Sorry about this," Snyder said in conclusion.
Ty Davis' widow and children filed a lawsuit against O'Hanlon Construction, Yakima County and three subcontractors alleging that their failure to conduct competent soil testing resulted in the inspector's death.
An investigation commissioned by the Davis family concluded that the soil study ordered by O'Hanlon on behalf of the county failed to take into account possible shifts in the water content of the project soil due to variations in rainfall and the municipal water table.
Upon notice of the lawsuit, O'Hanlon's carrier told the company that it had no plans to provide for the company's defense. A recorded, broadcast admission of guilt and a failure to notify the broker or the carrier in a timely manner effectively voided the company's professional liability coverage, said the carriers' attorneys, in a letter to Sharon Holmes and the O'Hanlons.
"We should sue them! How were we supposed to know?" Billy O'Hanlon said to his brother John, after the grief of Ty Davis' death faded and they started taking a more pragmatic assessment of their situation.
"Besides, being transparent in our dealings with the county has been a hallmark or our relationship. There's no value in that?" Billy thundered.
At his older brother Billy's urging, John O'Hanlon called Sharon Holmes and broached the topic of O'Hanlon disputing the carrier's refusal to pay for a legal defense.
"I don't see how you could win, and I think you'd be throwing good money after bad," Holmes said.
"I strongly advise against it. I'm not trying to be harsh, John, but you should not have said what you said without A, talking to me or B, talking to an attorney," Holmes said.
O'Hanlon's attorneys mount a game defense, pointing to the contractor's long, and nearly blemish-free service record with the county and good documentation of transparency being a hallmark of the company's business dealings.
A jury found O'Hanlon, the three subcontractors, and the county liable for the death of Ty Davis to the tune of $8 million in loss of income, pain and suffering.
O'Hanlon, which thought it was doing the right thing by apologizing, and was the only entity to apologize, is the only defendant uncovered by insurance.
O'Hanlon is out of pocket to the tune of $4 million, not including court costs.
Risk & Insurance® partnered with XL Catlin to produce this scenario. Below are XL Catlin's recommendations on how to prevent the losses presented in the scenario. These "Lessons Learned" are not the editorial opinion of Risk & Insurance®.
1. Contact your broker first: At the first sign of trouble on any project, promptly contact your broker to report the circumstance. Late, or non-reporting of an incident, large or small, can result in your Professional Liability coverage being denied.
2. Be mindful of your actions post-incident: Understand that taking actions to explain, admit fault, mediate, finger point, or recommend fixes or alternatives to a circumstance prior to notifying your broker may also result in your coverage being denied.
3. Have a communication plan: Create a circumstance reporting protocol within your organization to be followed by all employees, including designating a "quarterback" to coordinate external communications.
4. Align your philosophy with your coverage: Ensure your own best practices are not in conflict with the terms of your insurance coverage.

CENTRAL WISCONSIN (WAOW) — A new born baby is often the source of pride and joy for a mother. But for women who are addicted to substances, finding out she's pregnant can bring fear and anxiety.
From 2009 to 2014, maternal opioid use tripled in Wisconsin, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. As of 2014, 16.4 in 1,000 women were pregnant and addicted to opioids.
Half of those women have babies affected by Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a condition in which a baby is born with withdrawal symptoms.
While the situation can seem dire to an expecting mom, experts say it can be an opportunity for that woman to start over.
"Rather than being the worst day ever because you're using substances and you found out you're pregnant, it can be an entire new chapter in someone's life," said Sheila Weix the Director of Substance Abuse Services at Marshfield Clinic.
Experts said that women who are addicted and pregnant find themselves facing many barriers, including the biases that others hold.
There is also a fear for many women that their child will be taken away form them. Medical professional said there is a time and place for child protective services, but taking a child away from their mother is rarely the best solution.
Dr. Immler said that a mother having her child throughout the recovery process can actually be a source of motivation and encouragement.
Treatment and recovery can also look very different for pregnant women than it would for other patients.
For example, if an expecting mother is addicted to opioids, experts said it can actually be worse for the pregnancy if the mother quits right away. In some cases, quitting while pregnant can cause pre-term births. But, all situations are different and should be discussed with a medical professional.
Overall, experts encourage mothers to reach out for help and recognize the courage it can take.
"Women who get into prenatal care and who get into treatment tend to have better outcomes with their babies, even with the medication that they're on versus not and just using meds from the street," Weix said.
If you are looking for help you can find more information about treatment options at Marshfield Clinic and North Central Health Care.

The Pakistani military on May 30 announced a joint sentence of retired lieutenant general Javed Igbal for spying, and ordered the execution of a Brigadier and another officer.
The Pakistani military on May 30 announced a joint sentence of retired lieutenant general Javed Igbal for spying, and ordered the execution of a standard minister and another officer with the same charge.

The Pakistani army has its own rules and trial courts. Crime military officers are usually tried in private hearings and judgments made by the court against them, if reviewed, must also comply with the rules of the law system and military courts.

Skull & Roses This Weekend
SKULL & ROSES 2, is taking place this weekend at Ventura County Fairgrounds, will celebrate the spirit, energy, and community that the Grateful Dead have created. An amazing lineup of musicians will take up the cause of the Dead in their own way, re-creating and paying tribute to the band that has left an indelible mark on so many lives.
The lineup consists of 20+ Dead-inspired outfits including Golden Gate Wingmen, Circles Around the Sun, Stu Allen & Mars Hotel, Melvin Seals & JGB, Shred Is Dead, Moonalice, David Gans, Cubensis, Roosevelt Collier, Alligator, and more. Throw in two stages with no overlapping sets, a vibrant campground scene where bands not on the bill are able to set up for their own impromptu jams, and a location that has some fairly deep Grateful Dead history of its own (the group played 11 shows there from '82-'87), Skull & Roses is going into its second year with plenty of inspiration to move the masses brightly.

iOS 8 includes a new location-aware lock screen button
Kif Leswing Jun 4, 2014 (Jun 10, 2020) -- Blog Post
Apple(s appl) has added a new button to the iPhone lock screen in iOS 8. Tucked into the bottom lefthand corner of the screen — across from the camera button — the new icon provides quick access to various apps based on location.
So far, beta users have reported seeing the button pop up when they are in an Apple Store or Starbucks, according to MacRumors. The space is typically blank, but if you are in the right brick-and-mortar location, the app shortcut will appear. A user on Twitter saw a Costco button even though he did not have the Costco app installed.
While a shortcut to a location-specific app could be extremely handy, especially for payments, two concerns that come to mind. First, this is a form of advertising. While it seems relatively unintrusive at the moment — and to be fair, there's nothing currently stopping ads from being served as notifications — some people might not want to see corporate logos on their lock screens.(So far, Apple's implementation seems to be a tasteful compromise: the logos are small and there's no notification sound, either.) The second concern is related to security: not only does Apple appear to be actively using users' locations to prompt them to buy Starbucks, but when adding lock screen features in the past, the company has opened up iPhone users to exploits that allow malicious parties to bypass password protection.
It appears that this feature is not related to Apple's iBeacon technology, but is powered by GPS instead. Although the feature is not mentioned on Apple's website, the iOS 8 release notes include a clue: "When Location Services is turned on, the device's current location is used to recommend relevant apps on the lock screen. In this beta, this happens whether or not the App Store is enabled for Location Services."
This feature could either be a super-handy addition to a mature mobile operating system, or could mark the beginning of intrusive lock screen creep. We'll see when iOS 8 is released to the public this fall.

Del Mar schools sixth graders taking Spanish this year, one-way immersion planned for 2020
Del Mar Union School District Spanish teachers Whitney Botron, Linda Bonagura and Jessie Salas.
The Del Mar Union School District successfully rolled-out its new Spanish language program this school year and is looking ahead to 2020, when it plans to offer a one-way immersion program where students' instruction in nearly every subject would be in Spanish.
Shelley Petersen, assistant superintendent of instructional services, said the district's world language program falls under the umbrella of the California Department of Education's Global California 2030 which states a goal that by 2030, all K–12 students participate in programs leading to proficiency in two or more languages.
By 2040, the goal is for three out of four students to be proficient in two or more languages, earning them a State Seal of Biliteracy.
"What the state promotes is that learning multiple languages creates an awareness and an understanding of different cultures and leads to higher performing students and better problem solvers," Petersen said.
Del Mar began pursuing a world language program last year after hearing strong desire for foreign language instruction from parents. Parents were surveyed on their preferred language and a large majority preferred Spanish, with Mandarin finishing second.
This year the district opted to launch a FLES (Foreign Language in Elementary Schools) program, focusing on meaningful interaction with Spanish and an integration of language and culture. The curriculum is aligned with state standards and is scaffolded for different levels of proficiency, Petersen said.
The initial implementation included the hiring of three certified Spanish teachers to teach every sixth grader in the district for two hours a week.
Petersen said the district continues to move toward a one-way immersion program in 2020, in which the target language is used for all academic instruction with the exception of English language arts—an approximate split of 80 percent Spanish and 20 percent English.
"It would begin in kindergarten with a roll-up each year at a school site or possibly two, depending on interest from our community," Petersen said. "The grade levels would roll up until we had a full strand of K-6."
The first step in setting up a timeline for a 2020 start is establishing a district language committee, which Petersen said will begin meeting this month. Four parent information nights will be held starting in January, prior to kindergarten enrollment. The district has not yet decided which school or schools the one-way immersion program will be housed but the location will draw students from all over the district.
In addition to the one-way immersion program, Petersen said the district also plans to continue to develop the FLES program over time, such as expanding to a two-year program starting in fifth grade to better prepare students heading into middle school.
"It's such an exciting program," said Del Mar Union School District Board President Erica Halpern. "It's great to see what progress we're making and I'm looking forward to seeing where it's all going."

Fight against cancer at Relay For Life on May 25
Carly Champaco-Munoz
Sixty-five teams are set to hit the track May 25 for the Relay For Life, an annual fundraiser of the American Cancer Society.
The event, which will be held at the George Washington High School track, will kick off at 5 p.m. with welcoming remarks and a survivor and caregiver victory lap at 7:15 p.m. The public is encouraged to come out and show support.
As of Thursday afternoon, participants had raised $177,352.49 toward the nonprofit's goal of $485,000 for the year. More than 300 participants have registered for the event.
All funds go to fight against cancer
Last year, the Relay on Guam raised $494,000 and the nonprofit is optimistic it will reach this year's goal, said Tina Noket, the American Cancer Society's senior community development manager. Although the relay is an one-day event, fundraising efforts continue throughout the year and teams are encouraged to continue collecting donations, Noket said.

Luminaria ceremony at 9:30 p.m.
This year Relay For Life Guam will have a sports theme, with teams decked out in sports attire, Noket said. At the track, concessions and stadium food will be offered, she said.
(Story continues below photos.)
At 9:30 p.m. May 25, a luminaria ceremony will be held in honor of those touched by cancer. "Darkness is symbolic of the fear that a patient feels when diagnosed. Luminarias are lit to remember those we have lost, to celebrate cancer survivors, and to show those affected by cancer that they are not alone," according to the event website.

TekLinks Makes Its Big Move To Dominate Fast-Growing Nashville Market, Snatches Up MSP Superstar Guidant Partners
CRN Exclusive by Steven Burke
TekLinks, which is already a Southeast technology services superpower, is significantly strengthening its position in the fast-growing Nashville, Tenn., market by acquiring its toughest competitor there -- Guidant Partners.
The acquisition of Nashville-based Guidant Partners, long considered a regional MSP superstar, increases TekLinks' Nashville revenue in one fell swoop by 50 percent, said TekLinks CEO Jim Akerhielm.
The deal gives Birmingham, Ala.-based TekLinks, which has a long-standing presence in Birmingham, Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn., a dominant technology services position in the Nashville market with about 60 technology services professionals helping business navigate the treacherous technology landscape.
"It's a game-changer for us," said Akerhielm. "It's arguably the fastest-growing market in the mid-South. It's now the biggest market we serve. For customers, this expands our service offerings with new high-touch capabilities."
Twenty-eight-year-old Guidant Partners is widely recognized as one of the top MSPs in the Tennessee market. The company provides 99.97 percent uptime and 98.9 percent service-level agreement resolution.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but 90 percent of Guidant Partners' revenue is recurring-revenue-services-based.
"That is very, very unusual," said Akerhielm. "They have a long history of great customer relationships. Their whole go-to-market process with delivery and support is so tightly integrated and customer-friendly that it is really impressive."
TekLinks, No. 174 on the 2016 CRN Solution Provider 500, is now a $130 million company with well more than one-third of its annual sales from recurring revenue.
The acquisition significantly boosts TekLinks' MSP prowess, said Akerhielm. "In addition to scale and geographic presence, they do some things better than we do," he said. "What they excel at is the very high-touch managed services model."
TekLinks plans to leverage Guidant Partners' "high-touch" MSP muscle to drive deeper into its key vertical market segments: health care and financial, said Akerhielm. "We want to grow the Guidant platform beyond the current customers into our vertical markets efforts in health care and financial," he said.
The Guidant Partners acquisition will be critical in expanding TekLinks' health-care presence – already its No. 1 vertical market. "Nashville is a big, big health-care market," said Akerhielm. "Those relationships are consultative and evolutionary. So having highly capable resources in the market to design and deliver is critical."
Akerhielm said TekLinks is committed to retaining all of the Guidant Partners' team.
However, Guidant Partners CEO Steve Burgess, who hailed TekLinks as a leader in the "next wave of managed IT services for companies," plans to step aside after a consultative period with the company. He called the deal a case of "quality meeting quality."
The Guidant Partners acquisition represents the third deal engineered by Akerhielm since he took the helm of TekLinks four years ago.
Last year, TekLinks acquired fast-growing cloud services player Claris Networks, based in Knoxville, which provides a complete outsourced cloud service. That deal increased TekLinks' recurring revenue by a whopping 60 percent.
Before that, in 2013, Akerhielm was the driving force behind TekLinks' acquisition of health-care managed services provider ClinicAnywhere.
Akerhielm, who has reviewed hundreds of potential acquisition targets, said those three deals are the cream of the crop in a market filled with companies that are not up to snuff.
TekLinks itself has benefited from a majority ownership stake from Pamlico Capital, a Charlotte, N.C., private equity firm that just raised $910 million for its Fund IV.
"Their track record speaks for itself," said Akerhielm of Pamlico Capital. "They have been instrumental in making investments in TekLinks to enable our growth and on providing the intellectual capital associated with doing those acquisitions. They are a trusted partner."
TekLinks is driving profit margin expansion with strong services and customer relationships, said Akerhielm, adding he is extremely optimistic about the potential for profit and sales growth in 2017.
"We have an unbelievably talented group of professional engineers that are architecting our technology solutions," said Akerhielm. "We are extremely bullish. Economic growth in the Southeast is above the national average. There are not many competitors that can deliver really good on-premise solutions for certain applications, host other applications in local data centers, and then facilitate other applications in the public cloud. We do all three. We are very bullish on that model and the markets that we are in."

Sailor's Holiday: A Very Plotty Reunion
Posted on February 3, 2020 March 25, 2020 by pamelatarajcak
After Barry Gifford published Perdita Durango, he followed up with Sailor's Holiday, which reunites the characters six months after Sailor left Lula and Pace at the train depot. It's a fast paced and short novella which sometimes has just a little too much plot.
Lula's life is stalled working at the Cape Fear 7-Eleven, raising Pace, and not dating at all. Unhappy, she's ready for change. Unfortunately, because of Sailor's abandonment, Marietta retrogressed back into the manipulative mother and non committal woman, stringing along both Santos and Johnnie, inviting both to her birthday party. At the party, everyone, except Dal who knows him, meets Santos for the first time, which remember is different from the film where everyone knows and loathe Santos. Meanwhile, vagrant, depressed Sailor Ripley makes his way to New Orleans hoping the place that held happy memories might heal him. As he's doing so, he runs into Perdita Durango, still on the run for various crimes.
In Metairie, a part of New Orleans, Lula and Pace are visiting Lula's friend Beany now happily married to Bob Lee Boyle with two children. Without Marietta's constant manipulation, Lula gains perspective and decides to stay perhaps getting a job with Bob Lee's alligator deterrent business, "Gator Gone." She does not know that Sailor's also in town, staying at the Hotel Brazil. He instinctively knew that Lula's in the city and desperately wants to reunite. Neither know that Perdita's also in town, hooked up with another one of Santos's lieutenants, Carmine "Poppy" Papavero who makes her feel like a woman for the first time in her life.
Panicking over Lula's move, Marietta turns to Dal who, as always, tries to remind Marietta that Lula is living her life and it's time that Marietta live her own. Dal also tries to make Marietta realize that she's playing with fire with Santos, as he's married, trouble, and already has a mistress, Mona Costatroppo. In a plot digression, Elmer Désespéré, a lonely teenage railroad engineer is wandering aimlessly and barefoot in New Orleans. It is unknown why he is in the story. Then, Beany and Lula have a conversation about their past relationships. Beany says that when Bob Lee gets angry he goes to the movies. She recalls once that Bob Lee returned with a funny look on his face. "After he seen it, Bob Lee couldn't even eat. He wouldn't let me go see it, though I wanted to. I woulda gone anyway, of course, but with Lance bein' a baby then I didn't get a chance. Bob Lee told me he coulda never imagined the awful behavior went on in that movie. He did say there was a couple pretty women in it." Beany continues, "He said it made his brain shut down, like all the fuses blew." (314). The women resolve out of curiosity to find it on VHS. The movie was Blue Velvet. Meanwhile, Santos, also in New Orleans, and Carmine talk business.
Through this, the reader has several questions. Where is this story going? Is this just going to be a gentle catch up with everyone? It seems out of style with Gifford's plotting of past books. There has to be some lurid crime that happens at some point. What will make Sailor reconnect with Lula? Who is this Elmer fellow? Why include Perdita and Santos's stories at all? It seems as if Gifford, for such a short novella, is starting to meander.
Suddenly the action picks up when Lula and Beany take their kids to the park and Pace wanders off with a barefoot teenager. Lula panics and wishes Sailor was with her. After an interlude where Mona Costatroppo is murdered just as she is ready to turn state's evidence to the FBI, Sailor, reading the newspaper, finds out about the kidnapping and calls Lula promising to come. Marietta, finding out from Beany, is, of course, crazy with worry and calls, in this order: Santos to find her grandson, Dal and then Johnnie to come over and support her. Pace tries every which way to free himself from Elmer, the kidnapper. He just wants a kid brother to play with, and he latched onto Pace, who reveals himself to be a very deep and precocious kid.
The reunited Lula and Sailor talk to the cops at the police station, getting practically nowhere. When they're walking out, Perdita spots them, as she's waiting outside while Poppy talks to the police about some other matter; she is worried that Sailor may turn her in for the feed store robbery and sets out to kill him. Meanwhile while Elmer unsuccessfully tries to connect with Pace, Marcello reveals how he got the epithet "Crazy Eyes." "He hated the nickname Crazy Eyes, but he had to agree with the old Don, Pietro Pericolo, who had given it to him when he was the Don's driver, that his eyes were indeed very strange. The red pupils spun and danced inside the green irises, which were surrounded by yellow sparks." (341). While Santos is reporting that no progress has been made to Marietta, Dal and Johnnie, Elmer leaves Pace locked up in a closet and goes out, just to be killed by a street gang, the Jungle Lovers. Bob Lee and Sailor who have become friends in the meantime, head out to conduct their own search for Pace; Perdita spots them and shoots at Sailor who survives not able to ascertain who shot him and continues his quest.
The next chapter "Out of this World" introduces and gives an entire backstory to Guadalupe DelParaiso, who, it turns out, is the owner of the house where Elmer rented his rooms. Going to investigate noises from his rooms, she inadvertently lets Pace out who runs as far and fast as possible to the nearest cop saying who he is and what needs to be done next. Told you he was a precocious kid. Meanwhile, the FBI agents on Santos's trail, Sandy Sandusky and Morton Martin are bemoaning Mona's loss who was their only way to finally nab Santos. They are contemplating their futures in whatever back-of-beyond field office they'll be relocated to next, until someone else in Marcello's criminal empire shows up to turn state's evidence too.
"In the Wake of the News" reveals the denouement of the two plots. Marietta learns to her relief that Pace is safe but to her disappointment that Lula and Sailor have recommitted to their relationship permanently. They plan to stay in New Orleans where Sailor will work at Gator Gone and Lula will be taking care of Beany's kids while Beany goes back to college. Since Johnnie will be going to New Orleans in a week, Marietta will tag along for a visit. Lula asks when Marietta will marry Johnnie; she doesn't answer. Then Dal calls Marietta and tells her that Santos has been arrested. Marietta avers that Santos doesn't deserve the treatment he's getting, especially since Mona dug her own grave. Marietta contemplates, "Ain't it somethin', though, Dal, how it's just one weird thing happens after another?" "Stay tuned," said Dal, opening the front door. "I got a powerful hunch there ain't never gonna be an end to it." (360).
After Poppy and Jimmy Hunchback contemplate the fallout of Santos's arrest, Poppy proposes to an assenting Perdita and says that he has found a house in Metairie . "It will be perfect, Perdita. We won't know anybody there, and nobody will know us." (362). Finally, though the couple is glad to be a family again, Sailor worries about Perdita; he tells Lula everything who reminds him that they are committed to each other now and will find a way through that bridge. They cuddle and profess their love for each other.
The book contains some funny dialog and has many of Gifford's slice of life stories which are so common in these books, showing how the world is Wild at Heart and weird on top. Gifford also reconnects the characters (except for Perdita) in a very organic, natural way.
For such a slim book, only about 80 pages long, Gifford again packs in the plots. This book could suffer from having too much plot, as there was not just Pace's kidnapping, but also Lula's reuniting with Sailor, her developing friendship with Beany, his developing friendship Bob Lee, Marietta's stalling relationship with Johnnie, Santos coming into the Fortune picture finally and the eventual downfall of his crime family, Perdita hooking up with Poppy and swearing to kill Sailor, and there is a lot of plot. Therefore, this book is far less focused than the previous two which had laser focused plots with very little extra story lines. Though, Gifford does keep everything moving and firing along like a bullet train since the chapters are so short, compensating for the plottiness. The only time when the plot actually stops was the rather pointless backstory of Guadalupe DelParaiso since she was basically the deus ex machina to freeing Pace and will probably never be heard of again. It was rather interesting how Gifford spent a lot of time giving a whole chapter of a backstory to Elmer before we as readers even knew that he was going to kidnap Pace. It may throw a reader for a loop not knowing the significance of the character way before he does his most critical piece of action in the book and he remains seemingly disconnected to any of the characters. It provided some nice mystery to him.
He retconned a lot between books 1 and 3, especially with Marietta. Marietta can't help but meddle in her daughter's life and manipulate her, just like she used to in the early parts of Wild at Heart. At the end of book one, she seemingly commits fully to Johnnie Farragut but now she's back to having a bit of a love triangle between Johnnie and Santos and giving far too much leeway to Santos for Dal (and my own) comfort. It seems that things don't change. Sailor and Lula's reunion is truly a wonderful end for the book. One can't help but wonder if Gifford saw the wonderful 'happy ending' in Lynch's film and liked that better than his Sailor abandons Lula and Pace ending and decided to finagle a way to get those two soulmates back together again? One also can't help but wonder if he also liked the way that Lynch created the tension between the love triangle of Santos, Johnnie and Marietta and decided to make that more prominent or liked manipulative Marietta better than understanding Marietta?
Since there was no criminal conspiracy against Sailor and Lula in Book One, the criminal underworld, through Santos, actually starts helping the young couple by helping them find their son. Though it's a fruitless search because the precocious kid rescues himself! Seriously, Pace's childlike wisdom, besides Beany, Johnnie and Dal being such grounding forces for the flighty Fortune women, was pretty much some of the best characterization in the book. I love precocious cute kids and he was pretty much perfect.
The book continued Gifford's fine tradition of funny dialog, slice of life stories, and fine character development, especially with Lula who's getting more and more grounded as Marietta becomes more and more flighty. Therefore, in many, many ways Gifford acts as a magician by diverting attention from his very blatant structural weaknesses by doing sleight of hand with these strengths that he utilizes so well to make the reader whole-heartedly entertained.

What most of us know about the Pilgrims and their Mayflower voyage, is what we were taught in elementary school. It was just enough information to validate the Thanksgiving 'play' that many were forced to participate in and indoctrinate us into the Americanized version of history… ie: what they wanted us to know. It ranks right up there with the teaching of George Washington admitting he chopped down the cherry tree because he could not tell a lie. Its ironic that George's story is a lie, manufactured after his death to make him look more favorable to the public. Yet, it is still told to children even now.
It wasn't until I started doing Genealogy and delving into the family stories that I also started to learn the truths about history. In order to tell the stories correctly, I found I had to learn everything I could about that particular time period. We only learn the highlights in school and that from the perspective of the Americans. There are always at least two sides to a story and to understand history fully, one must observe all sides.
I didn't start out to trace my Ancestors to the Mayflower. It was a casual observation of similar names that got me curious. I looked up my line on Ancestry (dot) com and found that indeed, my Ancestor was on the Mayflower. I could have been happy with just that knowledge, but I have a need to know the stories about these people who I share DNA with. I decided to look deeper into their lives.
What I found was a lot of fabricated history, myths, and embellishments of truth for the benefit of selling a product. The Mayflower, over time, has become a commodity that sells. Unlike other parts of our American history, the Mayflower story projects a positive message. 102 'heroes' sailed to America to start a new life and many of those 102 succeeded against all odds. Currently, there is an estimate of more than 25 million living descendants of at least one Mayflower passenger. They succeeded quite well.
People ask me why I would want to prove my lineage to be able to join the General Society of Mayflower Decendants. Isn't knowing just enough? For some people, knowing is enough. Some people just don't care one way or the other. Many think its an ego trip to want to 'belong'.
I'm not doing it for the prestige. I'm not doing it for the benefits the Society might bring me. I do it because its my Legacy. Their Mayflower journey is a gift the Ancestors have left for me. Just as a gravestone, a material possession, or a document with the Ancestor's signature, the certificate I am given upon acceptance to the Mayflower Society is a tangible connection to my past.
That is why I am doing it.
**For the record, online Genealogy websites like Ancestry (dot) com, Family Search (dot) org, etc., perpetuate the fabricated history, myths, and embellishments. Use the information found in lineages on Genealogy websites with caution and ALWAYS back up your line with documentation.
