CLINIC SERVICES Every Hamilton Southeastern School has its own health clinic facility and school nurse. This handbook gives a brief synopsis of services provided by your child’s school nurse. Please use this handbook as a quick reference for policies and illnesses. Clinic Responsibilities: • Administration of long term prescription medication as ordered by a physician. • Administration of over-the-counter or short term prescription medication (less than 10 days) with written instructions from a parent/guardian. • The management of medical conditions that occur during the school day such as asthma, hyperactivity, diabetes, seizure disorders, and migraine headaches. • Observation of potential abuse/neglect. Nurse is to report observations to principal and counselors.* • Assessment, care, and treatment of minor illness and injury that occur during the school day. • Health counseling. • Prevention and control of communicable diseases. • Monitoring the immunization status of each student. • Vision screening for students in grades 1, 3, 7 and others as referred. All routine medications and treatments for students will take place in the nursing clinic with the exception of those specifically addressed in the student’s Individual Health Plan. Clinic facilities are provided for ill or injured students. Clinic facilities and the service of the clinic staff should not be abused. Specifically, the clinic and school nurse should not be used as a substitute for your private physician’s care. If a student visits the clinic too frequently or for inappropriate reasons, the parent/guardian will be notified. The health of our students, health education, and health maintenance are a high priority for our nursing professionals in the school system. *Schools are required, by statute, to report suspected incidents. IC 31-6-11-3 ABSENCE BECAUSE OF ILLNESS Please call the school in the morning hours if your child will be absent. Report the child’s name, homeroom teacher, and illness. It is helpful for the school nurse to know the nature of illnesses in his/her school to identify symptoms in others seen in the clinic. A doctor’s permission to return to school may be required dependant upon the length and type of illness our child is experiencing. MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION The term “medication” is not limited to prescription medication, but includes over-the- counter drugs, such as Tylenol and cough/cold medication. All medication should be kept in the clinic. In general, medication should be administered by the school nurse or a designated school employee. In rare cases, and when the proper form has been completed by the child’s physician, students may be allowed to self-administer emergency medication. Non FDA approved homeopathic treatments, sample medication, and dietary supplements will be given by the school nurse only with a doctor’s written authorization. We prefer that all long-term prescriptions and controlled substance medications be brought to school by the parent/guardian. At all grade levels, the parent/guardian should follow the school policy for sending medication to school with the child. The school should be notified that medication is being sent. All medication should be received at school in a sealed envelope and in its original prescription container. The sealed envelope needs to contain the following information: • student’s name • medication name • medication dosage • pill count • name of parent/guardian sending medication • phone number of parent/guardian Medication will NOT be given if the medication pill count does not coincide with the stated amount. The parent/guardian will be notified of this discrepancy. Short Term Medication (To be given 10 days or less. After 10 days a physician’s authorization is required for continued administration.) 1. All short term medication requires written permission from the parent/guardian if is to be distributed by the school nurse. If your child often requires Tylenol or other non- prescription medication, for various ailments, please send a supply to school. 2. Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Tums will be stocked in the clinics for student use on a limited and as needed basis, and will be given at the discretion of the building nurse. 3. All medicine should be sent to school in its original labeled container. All medication must have a label containing the pediatric dosage recommendations. Long Term Medication (To be given more than 10 days) 1. All long term medication must be accompanied by a written note from the parent/guardian and a physician’s order on a prescription pad or school medication form. 2. Medication must be sent in the original container, to be kept at school. 3. If the medication should require a refill, the additional medication must be sent in the original container, in a sealed envelope, with the pill count and signature of the parent/guardian (not child). This is to ensure that all medication reaches the clinic. If the name and dosage of the medication is not correct and clearly marked, it will not be given by school personnel. 4. If any change in medication is necessary, a physician’s written order is required. 5. The parent/guardian (not child) is responsible for notifying the school nurse in writing of any discontinuation of medication. RELEASE OF MEDICATION School personnel may send home medication with a student if the student’s parent provides written permission for the student to transport the medication. MEDICAL REFERRALS It is the position of Hamilton Southeastern Schools to stay neutral in marketing community businesses. Therefore, school personnel will not make referrals to a specific health care provider. STUDENT FEVER A student with an oral temperature measuring 100° (Fahrenheit) or greater will be sent home from school. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to make arrangements for their student’s transportation home. The student must remain fever free for (24) twenty-four hours before returning to school. Students will not be sent to the YMCA After School Program with a temperature of 100° (Fahrenheit) or greater. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES The Hamilton Southeastern School Corporation recognizes its responsibility in the control and spread of communicable disease. The Corporation has adopted as its standard, the protocol established for communicable disease control as stated in the Indiana State Department of Health in its Communicable Diseases Reference Guide for School Personnel. STUDENT VOMITING Any student who has vomited due to illness must stay home from school. The student must be vomit free for 24 hours before returning to school. Any student who has vomited while at school or on a school sponsored field trip will be evaluated by the school nurse, or an accompanying teacher. If the student is believed to have an illness, that student will be required to leave school, or the school sponsored field trip. It will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to arrange transportation for the student to get home. Long secondary trips, i.e., Tecumseh, Cincinnati, are exceptions. NON-PARTICIPATION IN CLASS/ACTIVITIES Recess: Grades K-6 All students are expected to participate in recess each day. Recess will be held outdoors on all days in which weather permits. Therefore, students should dress appropriately for recess daily as they will be expected to go outside with their class. Students not participating may bring a note from home or their physician. Our school policy only allows a student to use a note from home for three school days after which time a parental note should be replaced with a doctor’s note. Any student missing physical education, for any reason, will not be permitted to participate in recess activities. He/She will go outside with for recess and may be an observer, but may not participate in recess activities. Parents need to communicate any recess excuse to both the school nurse and the homeroom teacher. Parents who wish to discuss a particular situation may contact their student's homeroom teacher. Physical Education: Grades K-12 As a vital part of our curriculum, all students are required to participate in physical education. To be excused from participating, a student MUST have a doctor’s note stating why he/she cannot participate and for how long the student will be excused. If a student is injured and is waiting to go to a doctor, a parental note may be used. However, a parental note will only be good for one day. The student MUST have a doctor’s note to continue to be excused from physical education class. Any student with an excused absence/non-participation day in physical education is not permitted to participate in recess or active extracurricular functions. This includes sports, camps, bowling, intramural athletics and travel sports teams. Please keep in mind that teachers are not physicians. When notes are being written to our teachers, be specific. The note must contain a stop and start date for the restrictions. Terms such as “limited activity, some activity, not too much activity, and do what they feel like” are very ambiguous and open to varied interpretation. Therefore, any notes which are not specific will be interpreted as no physical activity. Students who physically do not participate in physical education class will be responsible for everything taught on an informational/knowledge/intellectual basis. However, a student must also participate to earn at least a satisfactory grade in physical education. Prolonged absence from physical education, without a doctor’s excuse, could jeopardize the student’s grade. Therefore, all communication for excused participation from physical education should be made with the physical education teacher. Parents who wish to discuss a particular situation may contact their student’s physical education teacher. After School Activities Any student who is ill and has either not attended school or has been sent home sick from school may not participate in any after-school activities until symptom free for 24 hours. IMMUNIZATION POLICY At the time of enrollment, in any grade, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of a student to provide proof of proper immunizations in accordance with current Indiana law. On his/her first day of attendance, a student without proof of proper immunization is considered in violation of Indiana law (unless a waiver has been granted) and will not be allowed to attend. A waiver may be granted due to religious or medical reasons as allowed by law. Medical exemptions require that a health care provider documents that receiving the required immunizations would be detrimental to the student’s health. Religious and/or medical exemptions must be completed annually. A student in the process of obtaining immunizations may attend school, but a statement from the physician or Health Department is required. ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATIONS AND TREATMENTS TO SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS ON FIELD TRIPS As a result of the growth in enrollment in our school system, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of students with special needs. These needs often include administration of medication or treatment requiring informed judgment. Asthma and diabetes management are examples of these special needs. The priority of the school nurse has to remain with the greater number of students at the school campus. Thus, on a field trip, or other student activity which takes place away from school, the school nurse will rarely, if ever, be able to accompany special needs students. In addition, most of the teachers are not qualified to administer certain medications or treatments, or to judge the use of these for chronic medical conditions. The parents/guardians of the students with special medical needs are expected to work with the school to arrange for an adult, other than the school nurse, to accompany their child on field trips or other activities when it is deemed necessary by the school nurse and school principal. If a parent cannot accompany the child, the parent: • may select an adult (other than the school nurse) to accompany their child • may work with the school to arrange for adult supervision for their child • may waive the need for an adult to specifically accompany their child • may elect to decline participation in the field trip experience. A student, trained in the use of their inhaler, glucometer, insulin therapy, or EpiPen, may be allowed to administer their own emergency medication on a field trip. For this to occur, each student’s ability to self-administer emergency medication must be addressed in the student’s Individual Health Plan and a signed physician authorization form must be completed. INJURY/ILLNESS When a child returns to school following a fracture, severe injury, prolonged illness, or medical procedure, parents must provide a doctor’s note if activity restrictions apply. The doctor needs to also specify the dates that the restrictions apply (ie – start and stop dates). FOOD ALLERGIES If a child has a severe food allergy, requiring an EpiPen, emergency medication orders must be signed by a student’s physician each new school year. Please be aware that the cafeteria servers peanut butter and jelly to students with delinquent accounts in Grades K- 6 and thus, it is imperative that you inform the school nurse if your child is allergic to peanuts. MILK ALLERGIES All milk allergies must be reported to the school nurse. A written doctor’s statement must be submitted every year. CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS The following information was provided by the Indiana State Department of Health in its Communicable Diseases Reference Guide for School Personnel. Healthy children perform at their best. After any illness, your child should be fever free (temp < 100) for twenty-four (24) hours before returning to school. Not all contagious illnesses are accompanied by fever; therefore, the child must also be symptom free for twenty-four (24) hours before returning to school in order to protect others from infection. (Symptom free would include fever, vomiting and diarrhea free for 24 hours.) Chicken Pox Symptoms: slight fever, body aches, and red round spots becoming blisters and finally scabbing. Initially the lesion looks like a dew drop on a rose bud. Incubation period after exposure to chicken pox is 10 to 21 days. The period of communicability for chicken pox is from forty-eight (48) hours prior to the rash appearing to six (6) days after the onset of the rash. Students with chicken pox will need to remain at home during the six (6) day period after the onset of the rash, or longer if vesicles have not formed scabs or crusts. Scarlet Fever Symptoms: fever, sore throat, rash (fine red goose flesh on a red background) appearing on areas of warmth first. The rash often resembles sand paper. Incubation period is one (1) to three (3) days. Students must remain out of school until fever free for twenty-four (24) hours and on an antibiotic for twenty- four (24) hours. Fifths Disease Symptoms: appearance of three distinctive rashes: rash on cheeks which gives the appearance that the person has been slapped; raised red rash on forearms and legs; and lacy rash on forearms and trunk of body. Incubation period is six (6) to fourteen (14) days. The period of communicability is prior to the outbreak of the rash. Impetigo Symptoms: lesion is characterized by small yellow blistered area that soon becomes crusted. The lesion is usually caused by a strep or staph infection. Spread can occur through direct contact with drainage. Children with draining lesions that cannot be covered at all times with a dressing should be excluded from school until they have received an appropriate antibiotic for at least twenty- four (24) hours. Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Symptoms: pink eye usually begins with tearing, irritation and redness of the eye and the inner eyelids. Children may awaken with sticky “matter” in the eye and the eyelashes may stick together. As the condition progresses the eyelids may swell and the eye may be sensitive to light. If your child exhibits symptoms, please contact your physician. Pink eye is contagious. Students are excluded from school and may return after 24 hours of prescribed eye antibiotic drops. Strep Throat Symptoms: red, painful throat; headache; stomach ache; fever (not always); swollen and tender enlargement of tonsil beds and lymph nodes (this may cause pain the child misperceives as ear ache); and presence of fine, slightly raised rash. Incubation period is one (1) to three (3) days. While not every sore throat is caused by a streptococcal infection, it is recommended that a child with any of the above symptoms be checked by a physician. A simple throat culture is done in the doctor’s office to diagnose strep throat. Once the diagnosis of strep is confirmed by the culture, the infected child is considered contagious until he/she has received an antibiotic for twenty-four (24) hours. To protect others from infection, a child with strep throat should not return to school until he/she is fever free, and has been on an antibiotic for twenty-four (24) hours. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotic to prevent reoccurrence. Scabies Symptoms: itching, particularly at night, and blister-like sores in the burrows of the skin. Scabies is a skin infestation caused by the burrowing itch mite. These sores are found in the webs of the fingers, heels of the palms, wrists, armpits, buttocks, genitalia, and elbows. Scabies is transmitted by close contact with an infected individual. Students must remain out of school until treated by a doctor. Head Lice Symptoms: itching, especially of the scalp. White nits, or eggs of the louse insect, attach to the hair shaft most frequently at the nape of the neck and behind the ears. The eggs cement to the hair shaft close to the scalp. A shampoo treatment with an insecticide shampoo will generally kill most head lice. A second treatment is necessary ten (10) days later with some brands of insecticide shampoo. Manual nit removal and environmental clean up of the home by the parent is the key to successful head lice treatment. While head lice are a nuisance, they do not spread disease and are not a health issue. Should a case of head lice be brought to the school’s attention, the school nurse will maintain confidentiality of the student’s identity, verify the presence of an active infestation, and bring it to the attention of the child’s parent/guardian. HSE nurses will assess students for head lice who present with symptoms, notify the child’s parents of a confirmed case, assist staff and parents with educational material, reassess a student with a confirmed case to monitor the effectiveness of treatment, and refer to a health care provider as needed. Students should not be excluded from school for having nits, as the management of this condition should not disrupt the educational process of the child. The need to exclude students from school will be determined on a case by case basis. This protocol is supported by the National Pediculosis Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Association of School Nurses. Please contact your school nurse if further information or resources are needed. Staph Infections and/or MRSA Symptoms: red, swollen, warm, and painful pimple, boil or blistered areas: especially pus or other drainage from a lesion. Skin infection caused by a staph or resistant-type staph (MRSA) infection. Staph and MRSA infections are treated using antibiotics, draining the abscess or boil, or a combination of both of these treatments. Ways to prevent these infections are to practice good hygiene which includes: washing hands thoroughly, keeping cuts and scrapes clean and covered until healed, avoiding contact with other people’s wounds or bandages, and avoiding sharing personal items such as towels or razors. Unless directed by a health care provider, students with MRSA and/or staph infections will not be excluded from attending school if they are under medical treatment and they are able to keep their lesions clean and covered. However, students must be excluded from school, including athletic practices and competitions, if they have lesions that cannot be covered or if the student cannot maintain good personal hygiene. PLEASE CALL YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL NURSE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT AN ILLNESS, OR SCHOOL POLICY RELATING TO ILLNESS.

Metal case feels great, the rest is low quality garbage Mar 17, 2013
By Charlie Lesoine
I bought this utility knife thinking I was receiving a well designed product. It looked to be really well thought out and of high quality...before I took it out of the packaging. Don't get me wrong, whoever conceived this product was on the right track. The shape is unique from any other knife like this and It feels great to hold in your hand. The problem is with the plastic pieces inside that are supposed to hold the blade in place. They do a terrible job. I noticed this immediately when I first tried to push the blade out. Pushing the button down and sliding it forward causes the plastic to bind and is not at all smooth action. It feels cheaper than the one I bought form the 99 cents store. The plastic pieces are just not formed to an acceptable level of accuracy. When the blade "locks" into place you can still move the blade around a lot which makes doing any kind of precision work with this product a joke. Opening the metal case to change the blade revealed two more issues. First, there is just a s****y little piece of plastic holding the two sides of the metal shell together. If you don't lock it all the way, the two metal halves can come apart. This is dangerous. Second, the you are supposed to be able to put the blade in perpendicular to the handle in order to use the knife to scrap windows, etc. After I put the blade in to do this as instructed on the back of the packaging, it was so loose that it fell out when I tried to cut with it. Basically if you are cutting construction paper, this product wil probably be ok. If you are doing any cutting that requires actually putting some muscle into it this product could be dangerous. I expect better from the Xacto.

I was happy with the size and weight of this knife.
I do a lot of cutting for the art projects that Ii work on and was very happy with this product.

It's a very sharp knife Jun 05, 2012
By Stephen H Daly
It's sharp enough to cut through plastic which is why I bought it. I like the fairly adult proof locking mechanism. You won't cut your finger off. Nice sturdy metal shell.

ANN ARBOR—Consumer confidence declined in October as consumers became convinced that the national government shutdown as well as other restrictions on federal spending would slow the overall pace of economic growth over the next several months, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers.
Conducted by the U-M Institute for Social Research since 1946, the surveys monitor consumer attitudes and expectations.
Overall, the Consumer Sentiment Index fell to its lowest level since the fiscal cliff crisis in late 2012, and the Consumer Expectations Index reached its lowest level since late 2011.
Perhaps the most significant finding, according to U-M economist Richard Curtin, is that consumers have increasingly moved toward the view that government has become the primary obstacle to more robust economic growth. When asked to describe in their own words what they had heard about recent economic developments, the number of consumers that negatively mentioned the federal government in October was the highest in the more than half-century history of the surveys.
"This was the third time in the past three years that negative references to the government's impact on the economy set another half-century peak level," Curtin said. "Indeed, after each repeated advance in optimism during the past three years, a revival of the D.C. follies promptly reversed the gain.
"It is hard to imagine how economic uncertainty will decline in the next few months since nothing was settled, only postponed. Nonetheless, the battered consumer will heave a sigh of relief during the brief stoppage between rounds in the D.C. fight. Although pushed to the back burner, concerns about job prospects have significantly worsened during the past year."Richard Curtain
Personal Financial Prospects Weaken
Just 25 percent of all households expected their finances to improve in the year ahead, with half of all families expecting no income increase. Inflation-adjusted income prospects improved slightly from last month, largely due to a decline in the expected inflation rate. Offsetting heightened concerns about prospects for wages and jobs, consumers reported gains in their household wealth, including rising values of stocks and homes.
Slow Job Growth Expected
The near-term outlook for the national economy suffered most from the D.C. stalemate, with unfavorable economic conditions expected by 61 percent in October, up from 50 percent in September. A slowing pace of economic growth meant that consumers anticipated fewer new jobs to be created, reversing the gains recorded a year ago. Indeed, in last October's survey consumers held the most optimistic expectations for job growth so far in this expansion. In the latest survey, consumers expected the national unemployment rate to edge upward during the year ahead.
Consumer Sentiment Index
The Sentiment Index was 73.2 in October 2013, down from 77.5 in September and last October's 82.6. Most of the weakness was in the Expectations Index, which fell to 62.5 in October from 67.8 in September and last year's 79. The Current Conditions Index was 89.9 in October, down from 92.6 in September, but just above last October's 88.1.
About the survey
The Surveys of Consumers is a rotating panel survey based on a nationally representative sample that gives each household in the coterminous U.S. an equal probability of being selected. Interviews are conducted throughout the month by telephone. The minimum monthly change required for significance at the 95-percent level in the Sentiment Index is 4.8 points; for Current and Expectations Index the minimum is 6.0 points.

Starring Emma Watson as Belle, this version of Beauty and the Beast features new recordings of the classic Ashman/Menken songs from the 1991 version, which was the first animated film to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The new film also will feature additional songs written by Alan Menken and fellow Oscar winner Tim Rice.
The preview will be presented as part of the One Man's Dream attraction at Walt Disney World, while it will play in the old Muppet theater in Hollywood Land at California Adventure, where it also will be presented with in-theater effects.
Beauty and the Beast co-stars Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, and Josh Gad as LeFou. Considering the role that made Emma Watson famous, this gives us actors from the Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, Fast & Furious, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and (of course because this is a Disney flick) Frozen franchises, respectively, all in the same movie. And, oh yeah, Stanley Tucci plays the harpsichord and he's in the next Transformers movie, too.
Beauty and the Beast opens in theaters in the United States on March 17.Tweet

New report from the Death Penalty Information Center (you can read the whole PDF by clicking HERE).
Washington, D.C. – Only one state outside the south carried out an execution in 2008, and almost half of all executions were in a single state–Texas. Executions dropped to a 14-year low of 37 in 2008, a 12% drop from 2007 according to the Death Penalty Information Center’s (DPIC) 2008 Year End Report. DPIC estimates that the number of people sentenced to death in 2008 will be 111, the lowest number since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Death sentences have dropped by over 40% in all four geographical regions of the country since the 1990s.
The U.S. Supreme Court lifted a de facto moratorium on executions in April when it decided Baze v. Rees, upholding the lethal injection process in Kentucky. Although many execution dates were set in the wake of this decision, numerous stays were also granted as the chronic problems of the death penalty re-emerged. Over 25 executions were stayed in 2008; four inmates were exonerated; and four others received commutations of their death sentences.
“We were surprised that the surge in executions that we expected after Baze did not happen. Courts, legislatures and the public are increasingly skeptical about the death penalty, whether those concerns are based on innocence, inadequate legal representation, costs, or a general feeling that the system isn’t fair or accurate,” said Richard Dieter, Executive Director of DPIC.
As states and the federal government struggled in a recession economy, the death penalty was being examined more closely because of its high costs. A report from the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice found that the death penalty was costing the state $138 million per year, and yet the report called the system “dysfunctional” and “close to collapse.” A similar commission in Maryland recommended the abolition of the death penalty, in part because of the high costs of the punishment. There was testimony before the Maryland commission that each of the state’s five executions had cost about $37 million when all costs of the death penalty system were included.
In Utah and New Mexico, state supreme court rulings held that the death penalty cannot be pursued unless the legislature provides adequate funding for representation of indigent defendants. But states have little extra money to spend on a program that has such sparse and unpredictable results.
“Spending money on the death penalty is like building a bridge to nowhere. It takes millions of taxpayer dollars to arrive at a single execution fifteen years after the trial. A far more likely outcome is that the case will be reversed and the execution will never occur,” said Dieter. “At a time when states are cutting back on teachers, police officers, health care, infrastructure, and other vital services, citizens are increasingly concerned that the death penalty is not the best use of their limited resources.”
Many victims’ family members and law enforcement officials are concurring that the death penalty has little to offer in the way of closure or justice. Some of them are encouraging states to follow the recent path of New Jersey and New York, both of which ended the death penalty last year.
Additional highlights from the report:
• The number of executions in 2008 was 37, a 62% decline from the high point of 98 executions in 1999.
• Ohio was the only state outside the south to carry out an execution this year.
• Every state that averaged one or more death sentences per year has seen a decline in the annual number of sentences between the 1990s and the 2000s, including the major death penalty states of Texas, Florida and California.
• The federal government is an exception to this trend, with death sentences increasing in that jurisdiction. The average annual number of federal death sentences increased 50% percent in a comparable period.
• Four individuals were exonerated from death row in 2008, bringing the total number of exonerations to 130 since 1973. All charges were dismissed against Kennedy Brewer in Mississippi and Michael Blair in Texas after the two men were cleared through DNA testing. All charges against Levon Jones and Glenn Chapman in North Carolina were dismissed on a variety of other grounds.
Perhaps the most pointed criticism of the death penalty came from Supreme Court Justices in capital cases. Justice Stevens called the death penalty “the pointless and needless extinction of life with only marginal contributions to any discernible social or public purposes.” Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority in Kennedy v. Louisiana, warned: “When the law punishes by death, it risks its own sudden descent into brutality, transgressing the constitutional commitment to decency and restraint.” The decision in that case overturned a Louisiana law that would have expanded the death penalty to non-homicide crimes against individuals.

Just this last week cookbook author, restaurant-owner and chef extraordinaire Donna Nordin of Tucson was in my home conducting Southwestern cooking classes to a sell-out crowd. While Donna was putting the finishing touches on her Tortilla Soup, Grilled Duck in Mole and her Chocolate Mousse Pie featured on the cover of Bon Appetit, I served margaritas. Out of the many requests I receive for recipes, my margaritas are one of the most frequent. There are a couple of reasons I believe they are especially good.
The first secret is I use a combination of freshly squeezed citrus. While limes are the brass section in this orchestra, lemons provide support with percussion. Oranges add not only some natural sweetness, but also interesting notes to the concert.
The second important factor is good liquor. While expensive, aged tequila should never be used in margaritas, a respectable tequila is vital. I always use one made from 100% agave. Suggestions include Milagro, El Jimador, Azul or Espolon---all are moderate in cost. A good quality liquor also includes the orange liquor. Forget the supermarket’s insipid Triple Sec…in fact, forget Triple Sec from any store! Instead, opt for Cointreau or Gran Marnier---very little is used per drink so the 10-fold price does not translate to much per serving.
My recipe below, honed after >50 trips to Mexico, does not make super strong margaritas, so if you want something with a real punch, increase the Tequila (but keep the Cointreau or Gran Marnier the same).
- Step 1: Citrus mélange: squeeze a ratio of 10 : 2 :1 citrus (e.g. 20 limes, 2 lemons, and 1 medium orange). For 2 margaritas, squeeze 1 cup of citrus juice.
- Step 2: Make a simple syrup from a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water. (e.g. 1 cup of sugar + 1 cup of water----place in a pan and cook for a few minutes until sugar dissolves well).
- Step 3: Make a “citrus-ade” using a ratio of 1:1 of combined citrus juice and the simple syrup. (Save any left over simple syrup in the frig for another batch of margaritas---it keeps for months).
- Step 4: Rim a glass with a wedge of lime, dip the rim in kosher salt.
- Step 5: Add ice cubes.
- Step 6. Pour in 1 cup of the citrus-ade.
- Step 7: Add ¾ cup of Tequila and ¼ cup of Cointreau or Gran Marnier and stir well.
- Step 8: Stir well and top with a lime slice.

The good girl’s diet
Gwyneth’s new cookbook may have shocked some, but actually it makes perfect sense
I eat chia seeds for breakfast, my kids eat raw fennel as a snack and my husband has little choice but to eat vegetarian meals nearly every night of the week. That’s just the way it is in our house. There is almost nothing I feel more passionate about than the power of food — a plant-based diet, low in processed junk and high in antioxidant-rich nutrients, only leads to good things, and I can’t imagine fuelling myself and my kids any other way.
I’m a California girl at heart, raised in a vegetarian family, so this belief runs in my blood. Having said that, I’m technically neither vegan nor vegetarian. To my way of thinking, cooking and eating is not defined by what we


For Millennials. By Millennials.
So, the Disney+ Loki series is live and Marvel fans couldn’t be happier. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is someone that the fans have always wanted to see more of within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And now with Phase 4, Marvel is delivering just on that. However, just like any other MCU content, Loki is also subject to a lot of fan theories. And Sylvie actor Sophia Di Martino has finally revealed her favorite fan theory of them all.
While talking to Entertainment Tonight, the actress who plays the Loki variant named Sylvie and has caused quite a stir on the sacred timeline until now revealed that she has seen some insane fan theories until now which she is “really enjoying”. However, there is one particular theory that takes the cake for Di Martino. The theory is the identity of the postman with whom she “managed to maintain quite a serious long-distance relationship with” in episode 3. She told the outlet:
In Episode 3, Sylvie says something about a postman that she’s been having a long-distance relationship with, like she’s being sarcastic basically, but there’s been a whole theory about who this Postman might be and where he is, and if he’s going to make an appearance. That’s the theory that I’m really enjoying.
The postman that the female Loki supposedly dated
Funny thing is that the postman actually has a presence in Marvel comics. His name is Willie Lumpkin and he delivers mail to the Fantastic Four at the Baxter Building. And despite the seemingly trivial nature of his character, he is often seen caught in major comic storylines as well. Moreover, Willie also appeared in the 2005 Fantastic Four movie, and it was none other than Stan Lee who played the part of the postman in a cameo scene. However, Willie hasn’t made an appearance in the Loki series yet.
Apart from this insane fan theory, Di Martino’s Sylvie has managed to prove herself as far more than just another Loki variant. Instead, she is a completely different character with different motivations but has the charm and wit of a Loki within herself. And that makes her character all the more interesting. While talking to Inverse, Di Martino even said:
This isn’t the story of Loki being reborn as a Lady Loki. That’s not the specific story we’re telling.
Furthermore, she may also get romantically involved with the original Loki. After all, they do seem like two sides of the same coin sometimes. And their on-screen chemistry is also immaculate. It’ll be nice to see how the two Lokis will bounce off of each other in the remaining episodes of the show.

The trucking industry is trying to convince the American public through the use of a propaganda campaign, that purports to use polls and research, that it should not be held responsible for trucking accidents.
In “Critical Issues in the Trucking Industry- 2011,” a report released by The American Transportation Research Institute, tort reform is called one of the top ten critical issues in the trucking industry.
Presented to the American Trucking Association — one of the most powerful trucking lobbying groups—the October report proposes that the trucking industry should seek tort liability reform to “ensure that punitive damage awards are reasonable and directly related to negligence.”
Ignoring the fact that those most likely to be permanently harmed in truck accidents are motorists in other vehicles, the trucking industry feels it is being unfairly singled out for large punitive damage awards.
The report suggests three proposed strategies to push tort liability reform through all available government channels:
- Advocate for federal legislation to regulate lawsuits and impose new caps on non-economic damages.
- Encourage a new legal fee structure and caps.
- Engage in public outreach and education to explain the negative consequences of excessive civil litigation.
This last point in particular is a tactic designed to convince the public that when a 100,000 lb. truck hits a car, the driver and passengers in that car are just gold-diggers and not really as injured as they claim. The truth is that truck accident victims – if they survive the truck accident – often find their life – physically and financially – in ruins.
The other 9 “critical issues” found in the report are listed as: economy; hours-of-service laws; an industry-wide driver shortage; Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) policies; fuel issues, including prices and efficiency; road congestion; transportation funding; onboard truck technologies; and truck size and weight.
Four of the other nine issues are directly related to preserving f safety for other motorists on the road. The truck accident attorneys at Garcia, Artigliere & Shadrack believe that this is just another ploy by the trucking industry to increase profits by ignoring the safety of innocent people


An ecosystem is a complex network of organisms that live and interact in a mutual environment. For that ecosystem to maintain and survive each organism must work together in a symbiotic manner. The same can be said about the mortgage industry as an ecosystem, and its technology as the coral reef. In order for brokers and lenders to work together in symbiosis as organisms of this ecosystem, the technology must also allow for it. If mortgage professionals use different systems and software that don’t work well together, how can the mortgage ecosystem survive?
“Right now, the mortgage ecosystem is fractured. It’s broken up into little pieces, from a technology point of view,” ReadyPrice CEO Rick Soukoulis said. “There’s mortgage point of sale software, product price eligibility, CRM and LOs. There are all of these components, but they don’t exist in one place and can’t be provided to the broker as a universal portal.”
Fractured mortgage ecosystem
In today’s market, mortgage originators are forced to intertwine different software and technology to support the lending process from start to finish. Because of this, originators are having to mimic technology companies instead of focusing on buying and selling, underwriting credit risk and servicing loans.
“No one system today can handle pricing across the entire life of the loan,” Soukoulis said. “This is further exacerbated by a broader origination landscape that forces lenders to cobble together technology, operational and financing solutions from a variety of players throughout the market to support the lending process from start through close.”
To make the mortgage process more of a cohesive ecosystem, there needs to be a seamless platform that connects originators and the secondary market.
SitusAMC & ReadyPrice
In 2021, SitusAMC, a provider of technology and services to the real estate finance industry, acquired ReadyPrice, a mortgage technology company that connects mortgage loan originators (MLOs) and lenders to streamline loan origination.
SitusAMC provides a one-stop platform to provide scale and increased efficiencies in competitive markets. With ReadyPrice, mortgage loan officers (MLOs) can manage and choose their pricing, run automated underwriting, and deliver approved loans in a timely manner.
The two companies combined their technology to create a symbiotic relationship between mortgage brokers and mortgage lenders. Through some of their services — SureLock, ComplianceAnalyzer and ProMerit — lenders gain a more efficient origination process, as well as a more seamless transition into the secondary market and the ability to engage investors.
A benefit to brokers and lenders
In today’s hot housing market, borrowers have more competition when it comes to obtaining and retaining clients. For brokers to have an advantage over the competition, they need to be as efficient as possible. With ReadyPrice and SitusAMC, brokers have a platform to find the best rates for their customers, retrieve customer credit and deliver approved DUI directly to their lender. Lenders benefit as well, being able to expand their reach, improve the quality of those loan submissions and ultimately convert more loans.
ReadyPrice connects MLOs and wholesale lenders to discover, match and deliver loans. SureLock, a pricing engine, enables wholesalers to allow brokers the ability to price individual deals in a timely manner. ComplianceAnalyzer facilitates comprehensive loan-level reviews including federal and state audits based on license types, exemptions and preemptions. ProMerit manages, tracks, funds and secures repayments while supporting audit and compliance requirements.
“We have a unique value proposition that no one in the industry has the ability to match today,” Soukoulis said. “And that’s completing the transaction from the ultimate security advisor, all the way to the brokers. MLOs have the ability to manage and deliver approved loans with the click of a button, creating a win-win for brokers and lenders alike.”
ReadyPrice and SitusAMC take the entire origination side of the mortgage industry, and connect in a way that is simple and universal creating symbiosis between brokers and lenders.
A solution for the secondary market
An efficient bridge between originations and the secondary market is critical for end-investors who are looking for direct access to originations to lower their effective acquisition costs and gain access to high-quality newly originated assets.
“Originations are looking for surety of execution and profitable origination markets that are not capital intensive,” SitusAMC CEO Michael Franco, said. “We can work with lenders to prepare their portfolios for secondary market trading through due diligence services, valuations and brokerage activity. In the same way, we can work with investors to identify, value and review targets for acquisition.”
Lenders can utilize the RateLock system to lock loans that are then acquired by secondary market participants, who in turn securitize rated and unrated RMBS. RateLock streamlines the management of the entire conduit process including products, pricing, adjustments, sellers, locks, announcements, confirms, notifications and funding schedules. The platform also allows for deep customization, making it easier to structure how sellers interact with the platform and product.
Together, ReadyPrice and SitusAMC connect new origination markets directly to the secondary market by combining their technology offerings, connectivity throughout secondary markets and ability to provide processing, underwriting and due diligence services.
“In the next 24 months, the entire ecosystem will have been changed. Brokers will have a universal transaction portal to conduct business with all of their lenders in one place,” shared Franco. “That process of communicating and transferring data into their legacy systems and those legacy systems will transact with SitusAMC secondary market systems.”

Mini Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas. Oh so slightly adapted from Esteban Castillo aka "Chicano Eats" new cookbook.
I had a dream the other night I was eating shrimp ceviche. That day my copy of Chicano Eats - Recipes from my Mexican-American kitchen arrived and I HAD to make is ceviche recipe first. It was meant to be. I could easily split my diet into half Mexican ceviche and half Hawaiian poke and be a very, very happy person.
Having grown up in Southern California, Mexican food was a staple in my house, when going out to eat and especially when going to friends houses. A large amount of my friends growing up were Mexican. Children of Mexican immigrants just like Esteban. Food is so important to Mexican cultures, it is one way how they stay connected to their culture. Recipes are passed down through so many generations, many recipes kept a family secret.
Esteban grew up cooking with many family members in the states and with many visits to extended families in Mexico. I love his blog, his recipes and photos. So bright and vibrant just like the people of Mexico.
The original shrimp ceviche recipe in the cookbook starts out with poaching half the shrimp in boiling and "cooking" the other half in lime juice. I realized I hadn't bought enough shrimp to make the entire recipe as is in the book so I went with just cooking what I had in lime juice.
The shrimp will turn an opaque pink and curl slightly once cooked in the lime juice. They won't curl up as much as cooked over heat, but 20-25 minutes in the fridge in the juice is perfect.
I mix up everything in a large bowl then transfer back to a shallow serving dish. The ingredients are few, but the flavors are amazing.
Normally I just get a bag of chips and dig into the pan of shrimp ceviche as is. Since the original recipe is served on tostadas, 6 inch round crispy tortillas, I decided to go with mini tostadas. I had a bag of mini street taco size corn tortillas in my refrigerator and I fried them up, blotted off the excess oil with paper towel and sprinkled with a little sea salt. Perfect for appetizer sized bites.
A few notes about the Mini Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas Recipe First:
- Original recipe is from the cookbook : Chicano Eats - Recipes from my Mexican American Kitchen. It's a must own cookbook.
- Original recipe uses one pound of shrimp for cooking over heat, one pound for *cooking* in lime juice. I only used shrimp in lime juice.
- Original recipe also adds in shredded imitation crab. I forgot to get that from the store
- I couldn't find serrano chiles so I used jalapeno and fresno. Use what you like
- Serve with cold Mexican beer or margaritas and plenty of Tapatio hot sauce!
Mini Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas
For the Ceviche:
- 1 ½ lb shrimp 21-25 size deveined, shells and tails removed, thawed if frozen
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 lbs roma tomatoes diced*
- 1 lb cucumber peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 jalapeno diced*
- 1 fresno pepper diced*
For the seasoning:
- ⅓ cup lime juice
- ¾ teaspoon celery salt*
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½-1 teaspoon diamond kosher salt
- Mini tostadas*
- Sliced avocado
- Sea Salt
- Lime slices
- Hot Sauce I used Tapatio
- In a medium bowl, or shallow dish, place the raw shrimp and pour the lime juice over it. Stir well and make sure all the shrimp are submerged in the juice. Wrap bowl or dish and place in refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the shrimp have all turned pink and opaque. Stir at the 10 minute mark and flip the shrimp over to make sure it is all still submerged in the lime juice.
- While the shrimp is “cooking” prep all the vegetables and seasoning.
- When the shrimp is ready drain off all the juice and place in a large mixing bowl. Add in the diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, cilantro and peppers.
- Whisk together the seasoning ingredients in a separate bowl then pour over the shrimp mixture. Stir well then leave in bowl for serving or transfer to a serving dish deep enough so the seasoning won’t spill out.
- Serve immediately, I like to spoon out two shrimp with some of the slices of tomato, cucumber, onion etc and juices onto a mini tostada ( or scoop with a chip) then top with avocado and hot sauce. Ceviche keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to three days. That is if you don’t eat it all the first day.


Washington Capitals win their first-ever Stanley Cup
08 June, 2018, 15:31 | Author: Judy Cobb
Over 70,000 people tried to get tickets to attend a Game 5 watch party at Capital One Arena with the hopes that they'll see the Capitals clinch their first Stanley Cup.
But if there's any solace to be found for the suddenly hockey-crazed valley in the immediate aftermath of this loss, it should come in the way the Golden Knights fought. Inspirational. An example of the power of unity. T.J. Oshie had already posed with his wife, his two children, his parents.
Here's a look at just a fraction of what they have to offer.
"It just shows that we have a great group of guys that have a great belief and we stuck with it". "We have been waiting a long, long time, since day one".
In the after-game delirium, fans screamed as they hugged each other in gridlocked streets and drivers honked their horns all over the city, as far away as the K Street corridor of lobbyist power not far from the White House.
They had to revamp the roster last season because of salary cap concerns, and general manager Brian MacLellan wasn't sure what he had after he added some grit here and there and had to trust young players.
"I don't think anybody saw us here", Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said recently.
When they do get around to thinking about the future, and the past, the smiles will eventually come.
Washington captain Alex Ovechkin scored his 15th goal of the post-season and was given the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
With 15 goals, 12 assists and 27 points, Ovechkin also won the Conn Smythe.

"It's a great time", Ovechkin said Wednesday. "He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and he doesn't remember a lot of stuff, but you bet your ass he's going to remember this one". They overcame what they called "the Pittsburgh dragon" in round two and got shutouts from goalie Brayden Holtby in Games 6 and 7 to dump Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference final.
"They've had all these really good teams, all of these opportunities that appeared that this could be the year that they could win playoff rounds and compete for the Cup or win the Stanley Cup".
"I'm so happy for the group that has gone through the misery", said Washington coach Barry Trotz, a first-time champ in his 19th season behind an National Hockey League bench and a potential free agent without a contract for next season.
The Capitals know the feeling of playoff disappointment.
Not this time. Devante Smith-Pelly, who came to Washington's training camp last fall without a contract, tied it at 9:52 of the third as he tumbled to the ice.
Lars Eller's rebound goal with 7:37 remaining broke a tie and proved to be the championship-winning tally. Vegas' Brayden McNabb took a penalty just 11 seconds later, and Ovechkin set up in his customary spot in the left faceoff circle to put Nicklas Backstrom's cross-ice pass into a sliver of open net.
It was truth, not fiction.
After Vegas won the Final opener, the Capitals capped their four-game surge by rallying from a third-period deficit in this cathartic Game 5, banishing any memory of playoff failure with clutch goals and rugged play across their lineup.
"Her being a soccer player, she would kick a girl in the shin with one second left in the championship game if that's what it took", Hawley said Wednesday. Then again, it had been an even longer 44 years. Few expected the division title they delivered, and fewer still thought Vegas could challenge for a championship. "Dreaming about it since I was a little kid, obviously".
Neither would anyone else.
Ovi still wants his teammates thinking about the Golden Knights, not that silver trophy.
He now faces one of the tallest tasks of his career when he takes on a team that has 4 All-Stars and many quality role players. Iguodala once again provided a boost for the Warriors with 8 points off the bench on 3-of-4 shooting and a plus-minus of +14.
Speaking on CNN on Sunday, House Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that no president should pardon himself . The 20-page letter was a response to repeated requests by Mueller's office asking to interview Trump.
Microsoft, once opposed to that kind of open-source software development, is now one if the biggest contributors to GitHub. GitHub now has over 27 million software developers contributing to over 80 million repositories of code.
Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro were locked at 5-5 in a first-set tie-break when their quarter-final was suspended. He went on to break Nadal two more times in the second set before the match had to be stopped due to rain.
But this gesture towards her coach Darren Cahill was more than a celebratory pose, it was a sign that this was 'the new Simo'. Kerber won the sixth of the nine played this year to move even nearer to her maiden Roland Garros semifinal.
No team in National Basketball Association history has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit to win any best-of-seven series. Klay Thompson also started 2 for 2, showing no signs of trouble with his ankle that was sore after a Game 1 collision.
A lawyer for the group, who also represents Greitens' campaign, said Tuesday that the group was considering appealing the order. Louis prosecutors dismissed the criminal invasion of privacy charge against Greitens on May 14 before his trial got under way.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2012 (1696 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The league leaders in the Westman High School Hockey League will be tested against the top teams in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario this week.
The 22nd annual Victoria Inn High School Hockey Tournament hits the ice on Thursday afternoon as 24 teams play 57 games over four days at Westman Place, the Sportsplex, Kinsmen and Optimist arenas in what organizers believe is one of the biggest tournaments of its kind.
"No matter where we poked around looking for tournaments to go to in the U.S. and Canada, we have never found one this big," said tournament chairperson Peter Gerlinger, who also serves as head coach of the Crocus Plainsmen. "So we think, from our knowledge, it’s the biggest (high school hockey) tournament in Canada. And as there has been for every year that I have been a part of it, there is a waiting list again and we’re very fortunate because everyone likes to come to this tournament."
The tournament will feature the top five teams in the Westman league, led by the first-place Dauphin Clippers, defending champion Neepawa Tigers, Plainsmen, Vincent Massey Vikings and Russell’s Major Pratt Trojans, along with the Virden Golden Bears.
They will face a field that includes the St. John’s Ravenscourt Eagles — the No.1 team in the Winnipeg High School Hockey League — along with the defending tournament champion Oak Park Raiders, and four Ontario teams from Fort Francis, Dryden, Red Lake and Kenora.
"It’s a great way to compare with the Winnipeg high school league and (southeastern Manitoba’s) Zone 4 League and the Ontario teams. They are loyal customers and they always make their way out here," Gerlinger said. "We have four Ontario teams, four Zone 4s, six Westman and 10 Winnipeg teams. So definitely it’s a real tradition for everybody coming here and most of these teams have been here year after year …
"All those Winnipeg teams are good. We have five that are in the top division that are coming to our tournament, so you are going to have your hands full."
The tournament serves as a potential provincials preview for the Westman teams, as they get their first look at the quality of competition they could face later this season in the high school championships.
"When I look at it from our point of view and our league’s point of view, if one of us is going to represent the league in provincials, this is a great way to measure up," said Gerlinger, whose Plainsmen advanced to the provincial final four last season. "You play mainly within your own league and we haven’t ventured anywhere outside our own league yet this year, so for us it will be a real eye-opener, especially when you have a young team like we and Massey both have."
The tournament opens Thursday at 4 p.m., with the Clippers hitting the ice at the Optimist Arena and the Vikings dropping the puck at the Kinsmen Arena. It runs all day Friday and Saturday through to Sunday’s championship final at the Kinsmen at 3 p.m. Admission is free to all games this year.


Beginning with the 1983 Camry, a compact, highspeed alternator with a built-in IC regulator is used on Toyota vehicles. Corolla models with the 4A-C engine use a different alternator with an integral IC regulator.
This new alternator is compact and lightweight. It provides better performance, as well as improved warning functions. If either the regulator sensor (terminal "S") or the alternator output (terminal "B") become disconnected, the warning lamp goes on. It also provides better serviceability. The rectifier, brush holder, and IC regulator are bolted onto the end frame.
