Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail Inmate Search & Locator
Incarceration can be brutal on families and friends as well as inmates. State prison lookups can vary depending on locale, and inmates can often be moved from one location to another within the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. That's why we've created the Pigeonly Prison Locator Service for fast and free inmate search. Our mission at Pigeonly is to connect inmates and families with affordable and easy-to-use tools. Our Inmate Locator can help you find your loved ones and even update you if an inmate moves to another location. Register with Pigeonly for free to find your loved ones today.
Families can also search for their inmates on the Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail official website. To use this search, you'll need an inmate ID, provided when the inmate is assigned to a facility. Other search tools include the Pennsylvania state site and the Bureau of Prisons site
How to find someone in Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail :
Go to pigeonly.com to start a search for your inmate. First, click "Get Started" and enter your inmate's first and last name.
Make sure to check if your inmate's facility is county, state, or federal.
Find your inmate and select from the list of services designed to help you keep in touch.
Finally, you'll need to register an account with Pigeonly, and we'll provide you with your loved one's contact information. (Don't worry, registration is completely free!)
Information You Need to Locate an Inmate at Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail
Before we begin discussing the various tools to help you locate your loved one, let's quickly clarify that you'll need to have some vital identifying information on hand to do so. This information includes:
- our loved one's full legal name (first, middle, and last).
- Their date of birth.
- The state in which they're being held.
- Note that some tools may suggest or require additional information from you about your loved one, depending on individual circumstances.
As we go through this list, we'll cover what this information is and where it's applicable. Now, for the inmate location tools.
The Bureau of Prisons Website
The Bureau of Prisons allows you to search its database of federal prisoners to locate your loved one and uncover their contact information. Note that this database includes only inmates held in federal prisons — we'll get to smaller prisons and jails in a moment. The BOP's database also provides information regarding inmates who have been released, dating back to 1982. When using the BOP's search tool, you can search for a prisoner by name or by a variety of identification numbers. First, let's search for an inmate using their name: Again, searching for a common name without any additional information leads to numerous search results. Also, note that the search engine limits the number of results to 100, meaning many other inmates with the name John Smith didn't even show up.
You can also narrow down your search by including your loved one's race, age, and sex. As this search tool doesn't offer any advanced search features, you may need to include this information to see fewer than 100 results. You can also search for a federal inmate using several different identification numbers, such as:
- BOP Register Number
- DCDC Number
- FBI Number
- INS Number
These identification numbers, of course, belong solely to your loved one so using this method is the best way to generate accurate results from the BOP's site.
Pennsylvania Government Sites
The BOP's search tool only shows results for federal inmates. To find an inmate who is held in a local jail or a Pennsylvania state prison, you will need the Pennsylvania state website or the Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail site. Many facilities require the use of an inmate ID number. Check with the Slippery Rock Borough Police Jail to find out what other information you may use on their website to locate your loved one.

Measurable success: Reduced CO2 generation at data centers
We keep our goal of reducing our carbon footprint in mind when planning and operating our data centers. To achieve this goal, we take a two-step approach. It starts with optimizing energy consumption at each data center site and then continues with improving processes throughout the global data center landscape.
The PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) figure is the key indicator for their energy efficiency. Since 2008, we have succeeded in reducing the average PUE factor at the T-Systems data centers in Germany from 1.85 to 1.56.
|Data Center Energy Usage
|Total energy used in data centers (MWh)
|Percentage of renewable energy (of total energy)
Our aim is to increase the share of renewable energy on a yearly basis. Therefore our reported target is to increase our share in comparison to the previous year.
Achieving more together: international collaboration
How can international corporations put sustainability strategies into practice across borders? Deutsche Telekom employs CR managers for the relevant business segments and national companies to reach this goal. They use the CR Manager Network to regularly share best practices and discuss new challenges, thereby jointly promoting essential CR issues. The central Group Corporate Responsibility (GCR) department is responsible for managing the network. In the year 2021, the CR Manager Network encompassed more than 100 CR Manager from 34 subsidiaries based in 20 countries across the globe.
The participants are regularly invited to virtual meetings and capacity building calls by Group Corporate Responsibility. In 2021, content and likely implications of the EU Green Deal were discussed as well as progress within the #GreenMagenta programs and the new strategic stream "Positive impact on society" defined by the EU segment. Furthermore, the network members could gain insights into issues like Impact measurement and the future of a greener mobility.
For more convenience and a good feeling that everything is in order at home: Deutsche Telekom's Smart Home platform.
The Consumer IoT division has developed the open, cross-manufacturer Smart Home platform and the Magenta SmartHome app. This gives customers the opportunity to combine devices from different companies easily and individually and to control them via app.
In the reporting period, we were able to further increase the number of devices that are compatible with the Smart Home platform. Customers can already choose from several hundred different Smart Home devices: With a Speedport Smart 4, customers now also have the option of using it as a Smart Home gateway. In addition, Magenta SmartHome now supports WLAN LED lamps from the new partner WiZ and the Alcatel GPS tracker, as well as other devices from SONOS, D-Link and Ledvance. In addition, our app now also listens to the word, as voice control is now possible directly in the app.
Magenta SmartHome received the World Smart Home Award 2021 in the category "Smart Home Apps" and impresses with its ease of use and excellent connectivity.
Customers gave the app an average rating of 4.3 (iOS) and 3.9 (Android) out of 5 stars*.
In 2021, the independent test institute AV-TEST GmbH was once again commissioned to test how secure the Smart Home platform and the Magenta SmartHome app are. Once again, the verdict was: very good protection. The next test of the platform by AV-Test GmbH is planned for early 2022.
The Consumer IoT division is also certified according to ISO9001_2015. The certification is updated regularly and covers points such as organisation, management and quality policy, as well as planning and operating processes. The last audit was carried out in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Internet access on planes
Together with satellite company Inmarsat, Deutsche Telekom is offering the fastest inflight broadband service for European travelers.
The European Aviation Network (EAN) has been developed by Inmarsat and Deutsche Telekom in partnership with leading European companies such as Thales, Nokia, Airbus, Cobham and Eclipse Technics. It marks a paradigm shift in the airline passenger experience, with incomparable speeds, uninterrupted coverage and significantly lower latency than any other inflight Wi-Fi network in the continent.
The award-winning connectivity solution has been available to over 20 million passengers to date, travelling on more than 200,000 flights throughout Europe, covering key destinations such as London, Madrid, Barcelona, Geneva and Rome. It is currently available with British Airways, Iberia and Vueling, which are all part of International Airlines Group (IAG).
Digital health care system: Deutsche Telekom as a project partner
We are helping shape the digital health care system with numerous pilot projects.
• We are involved as a project partner in developing a solution for antibiotic treatment consultation at the St. Georg Hospital in Leipzig. The primary goal is to enable fast, secure data exchange between doctors, patients, and health insurers. The State of Saxony sponsored the project with over 1.2 million euros at the beginning of 2017. It will initially run until mid-2019.
• The main objective of the "Psychological Trauma Telehealth Network for Saxony (Tele-NePS)" project is to sustainably improve the integrated treatment chain for post-traumatic stress disorders. The goal is to enable those affected to access the treatment network, make expertise universally available, and guarantee cross-institution documentation and coordination. The EU and the State of Saxony will be funding the project, which will run until 2020, with 1.4 million euros.
• Under the auspices of a 10-year partnership, we are helping Kliniken Essen-Mitte (KEM) to drive forward the digitalization of its hospitals. By January 1, 2019, we had replaced the existing hospital information system with our iMedOne solution at two of the clinic's locations.
Digital health care system: Our solutions
In addition to customer projects, we are also developing our own solutions for digital health care.
Our telehealth platform is being used by increasing numbers of participants in Germany. The platform is based on the first Europe-wide open, trans-regional network, East Saxony CCS Telehealth (THOS). It allows patients, doctors, hospitals, nursing staff, pharmacies, and health insurers in a given region to exchange information over a specially encrypted data network. In April 2018, we presented the new "Teleneurologie Parkinson" application at the world's largest health care IT trade fair ConhIT: In addition to the family doctor or neurologist, the new solution also allows patients suffering from Parkinson's disease to consult with a teleneurologist.
Our Telekom Healthcare Cloud (THC) provides health professionals with a reliable and simple path toward the digital transformation of their work structures. One of our customers in this area is Gesundheit Nordhessen Holding (GNH). We support the group of hospitals by providing our cloud for its daily work.
Digital Solutions: AUTOPILOT – autonomous driving services to boost efficiency
The EU's AUTOPILOT project is trialing services of this kind on the market, including self-driving vehicles in local public transportation, self-parking cars, and real-time car sharing. Such solutions are particularly efficient and environmentally friendly, resulting in an estimated 10 percent fewer CO2 emissions compared to conventional driving practices. The project launched in 2017 and will run until 2019. Thereafter the services will be incorporated into regular operations. T-Systems is the project partner of AUTOPILOT and supports analyses on the feasibility and market launch of the new services. The project has successfully been finalized in 2019, a follow-up project has already been won and the work has been started.
Digital Solutions: Connected Car – preventing traffic jams with connected cars
T-Systems has been developing and operating Daimler's Connected Car platform (Daimler vehicle backend) worldwide since 2013. The platform is the technical basis for the Live Traffic service, which provides drivers with real-time traffic information, Live Traffic prevents about 30 percent of traffic jams per vehicle. This means the approximately 12 million vehicles equipped with Live Traffic consumed about 13 million liters less fuel. This translates into CO2 savings of around 32,500 metric tons.
The Internet of Things
Machines and products are constantly becoming smarter. The technologies that make these developments possible are bundled under the term Internet of Things, or IoT.
IoT can help ideally coordinate the processes of various devices, vehicles, and entire industrial facilities. This increases industrial productivity and ensures efficient logistics, thus helping reduce energy consumption and conserve resources.
We also support the German federal government's Industry 4.0 initiative through our involvement in IoT. The initiative's objective is to maintain Germany's competitive edge in the technology sector.
Supporting start-ups: Creating space for ideas
As the leading startup program of Deutsche Telekom, the telcotech incubator hubraum connects external startups with business units in our group to jointly offer innovative products for our private and business customers. In addition, hubraum offers startups early-stage financing from their own investment fund and targeted innovation programs with a view to the strategic growth areas and technologies of Deutsche Telekom.
Since the founding of hubraum in 2012, hubraum has built up a strategic investment portfolio of over 25 companies and closely collaborated with over 300 start-ups from Europe and Israel in areas such as Future Connectivity (e.g. 5G, Edge Cloud, AI, NBIoT), Connected Life and Work (e.g. smart home, AR/VR, industrial IoT) and the "Next Next" (e.g. blockchain). The hubraum Campus in Berlin has been expanded with one of the first 5G networks in Europe and edge cloud infrastructure. In addition to co-working office space and mentoring, startups can now also have exclusive access to Deutsche Telekom's networks, product platforms and test data to accelerate their business development.
In 2019, 16 projects from our Edge and 5G prototyping programs were implemented on the new infrastructure. These will be continued in 2020.
In the same period, five projects of the consumer IoT eSIM program have been implemented. They will be marketed in 2020 as products of the national companies of DT.
Hubraum projects
• For 2020, hubraum has announced the Tech Award: Sustainability in 5G Challenge. With this, hubraum starts to make the ecosystem a more environmentally-friendly place by meeting 5G's increased demand for energy sustainably — with the help of cocreation.
• Neebo, a start-up from Great Britain and participant of the hubraum Consumer IoT eSIM program, has developed a sensor wristband for babies. It allows the child's vital signs, such as breathing and pulse, to be monitored via smartphone.
• Safety is one of the main reasons why driver assistants and systems for autonomous driving are constantly being improved. For these assistance systems (e.g. video, 3D point clouds and telematic) to function properly, a lot of sensor data is required. The startup Teraki - a hubraum investment - is developing software that significantly reduces the energy consumption that arises when processing these sensor data.
IoT: Roambee – "bees" make the logistics chain transparent
Since the beginning of 2017, we have offered businesses a solution for tracking and locating deliveries and assets and for monitoring the status of goods: Shipment & Asset Monitoring powered by Roambee. A "bee" equipped with sensors is attached to the consignment to record information such as temperature, humidity, light, and movement and store this information in the cloud. The bee measures all information in in defined timeframes. A web portal gives users anytime access to a full overview including the device status, location, and details on deliveries and assets.

When I call the communications department, why do I get someone different every time?
The communications department is staffed with anywhere from 3-6 dispatchers at a time. The phone system is designed so that each call is answered by the available dispatcher. Therefore, when you call several times in a day, it is possible you will get a different dispatcher each time you call because the original dispatcher may be busy with other calls.

Campaign continues to save pet beagle
Family uses Facebook rescue dog
Life has been a whirlwind for Rufus, the beagle mix who has become the talk of the nation.
Rufus, who has his own attorney, was sentenced to be put down because he bit a 4-year-old boy in the mouth, resulting in a wound that required stitches. While that order is on hold, WESH wondered what a dog trainer who deals with dogs daily thinks about the Rufus cause.
Michelle Meredith reported live Friday from Orange County Animal Services where Rufus continued his stint on isolation row. Meredith asked John McGrath, who has been training dogs for 20 years, about Rufus, and if he should be euthanized.
"No, I think he needs a second chance," McGrath said.
McGrath added that Rufus is young and doesn't have a history of biting. He said Rufus could be trained or adopted by a family with older children or no children.
McGrath said that if Rufus were a pit bull, he would not stand a chance of being rescued from doggie death row.
"People have that stigma," McGrath said. "You see a cute, little dog being caged -- he bit a child -- it is downplayed. If that was a pit bull, and it did the same thing with four stitches, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
The discussion about Rufus' fate started earlier this month when he bit Nikki West's son. Rufus was being fed when the bite occurred, and the wound required stitches.
Under Orange County guidelines, that is grounds for a dog to be euthanized.
"He's a good puppy," West said. "We had an accident. That doesn't mean you just kill him."
The family has fought back through Facebook and filed an appeal. Now a judge will decide the dog's fate.
Rufus' attorney said his canine client has a respiratory infection, so he called Mayor Teresa Jacobs to ask that the dog be moved out of the shelter.
"(We want to move him) into a county-approved rescue, and we have actually isolated several rescues that would take Rufus at this point," said attorney Jaime Halscott.
The staff at the county shelter said Rufus is being treated with antibiotics to help with his infection.

Hot Online: Zombies popular because people are sad, prof says
Trending topic
A professor at Clemson University says that zombie fads occur when people are unhappy, UPI reports. Sarah Lauro cited the emergence of zombie walks during the Iraq War and said, "Some do it to make visible their dissatisfaction with a government they feel isn't listening to them or an economic system that makes them brain-dead consumers. Some do it as a kind of exercise of community, just to show how the collective can be organized and made to participate in an event without any ties to commercialism; many have no idea why they do it, but some play dead, one supposes, just to feel alive."

Nebraska Earns Third-Consecutive Conference Title
Posted by: Sports
Paced by a program-record 49.725 on vault and nine titles in four events and the all-around, the No. 9 Nebraska women's gymnastics team captured their third-consecutive conference crown with a 197.800 at the 2013 Big Ten Women's Gymnastics Championships. NU's score was a conference championship school record and gave Head Coach Dan Kendig his 14th conference title at Nebraska. The Huskers' crown marked the first time the program has earned three-straight conference titles since 2001-02-03.
Emily Wong earned her second consecutive Big Ten all-around title, posting the second-highest score at a conference championship meet in school history (39.725). Wong took or tied for top honors on uneven bars (9.925), balance beam (9.90) and floor exercise (9.975) en route to top honors at the meet.
Joining Wong at the top of the podium were five additional Huskers. Janelle Giblin, Hollie Blanske, Brittany Skinner and Jessie DeZiel all tied for the title of conference vault champion, posting identical scores of 9.95. Wong and Jennifer Lauer tied three other conference gymnasts to earn the beam title at 9.90.
The Huskers kicked off the championship meet with a 49.375 on bars, their highest road score on the event this season. NU was paced by Wong, who earned a meet-best 9.925 overall that included a perfect 10.0 from one of four judges. Kassandra Nathe added a career-high 9.90 to aid Nebraska. DeZiel picked up a solid mark of 9.875, and Janelle Giblin tacked on a 9.85.
Nebraska took an early lead after the first rotation with their mark of 49.375. Michigan posted a 49.250 on floor to take second, while Minnesota earned a 49.200 on beam for third. Penn State trailed in fourth with a 48.925 on vault.
Nebraska displayed great focus and composure on beam in their second rotation, bouncing back from an early fall to capture a 49.225 on the event. Wong and Jennifer Lauer led the way for the Big Red, each earning marks of 9.90 in their anchoring routines to tie for the conference title. GIblin tied her second-highest beam score of the season with a 9.85, and DeZiel captured an identical 9.85.
Michigan took the lead after two events, earning a 49.575 on vault to give the Wolverines a 98.825. Nebraska trailed narrowly in second at 98.600, while Minnesota picked up a 49.225 on floor to come in third at 98.425. Penn State remained in fourth, picking up a 49.175 on bars to hold a 98.100.
The Huskers exploded for a season-high 49.475 on floor in their third rotation, which tied for the second-highest floor score at a conference championship in program history. Emily Wong led the way for NU, earning a perfect 10.0 from two judges to capture a career-high 9.975. DeZiel tied her career-best on floor, earning a season-high 9.95. Blanske earned a career-high-tying mark of 9.90, and Skinner captured a 9.85.
The Wolverines held their lead with three events down, posting a 49.400 on bars to check in at 148.225. Nebraska held strong at second with a 148.075. Minnesota picked up a 49.350 on vault to come in at 147.775, and Penn State earned an 48.600 on beam to pick up fourth at 146.700.
Nebraska took to vault in their final rotation of the evening, needing a stellar performance to overtake Michigan for the conference title. The Huskers more than delivered, earning a program-record 49.725 to seal their third-straight title. Four Huskers earned identical scores of 9.95 to tie for top honors in the Big Ten: Blanske, DeZiel, Giblin, and Skinner. Wong addded a 9.925, and Desire' Stephens posted a 9.85.
Emily Wong earned the seventh-highest all-around score in school history, finishing with a 39.725 to take top honors at the meet. DeZiel finished close behind in second at 39.625, while Michigan's Joanna Sampson took third with a 39.575.
Michigan earned a 49.000 on beam to finish second overall at the meet at 197.225. Minnesota captured a a 49.000 on bars to finish third in the conference at 196.775, while Penn State posted a 49.125 on floor to come in sixth at 195.825. Illinois took the fourth-place finish with their score of 196.475 in the afternooon session, while Ohio State came in fifth at 195.950.
Following the meet, seven Huskers pulled down 12 All-Big Ten Championship Team honors. Wong led NU with four selections (UB, BB, FX, AA), while DeZiel earned three (V, FX, AA). Blanske (V), Giblin (V), Skinner (V), Lauer (BB) and Nathe (UB) each captured one honor apiece for the Big Red.
Already ranked ninth nationally heading into this weekend's championship meet, Nebraska has already secured its 30th consecutive NCAA appearance this season. The NCAA will announce postseason seedings and regional placement in a selection show to be held Monday, March 25 at 2 p.m. CT.
NCAA regional competition will be held at six sites: Tuscaloosa, Ala., Gainesville, Fla., Columbus, Ohio, Norman, Okla., Corvallis, Ore., and Morgantown, W.Va. A total of 36 teams will compete at regionals, with the top two teams from each site advancing to the NCAA Championships in Los Angeles, Calif. on April 19-21.

Book Notes: 'Boiled Over' spins a well-crafted Maine mystery
"Boiled Over: The Maine Clambake Mystery Series" by Barbara Ross. Kensington Books, New York, 2014. Paperback. $7.99.
The carefully planned, high-stakes Founder's Day in Busman's Harbor, Maine, looks like it's going to be a fabulous success for the local businesses. The weather is perfect, the Claminator, a clever contraption built to steam 300 lobster dinners, is ready to go, and the tourist buses are rolling in on cue. Julia Snowden, one of the Founder's Day committee members with a stake in the short tourist season, is just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she sees it — a charred foot sticking out of the wood fire underneath the Claminator.
Barbara Ross does a great job evoking the spirit and feel of coastal Maine in "Boiled Over." She lives in Somerville, Massachusetts, and serves as one of the publishers of the Level Best short crime fiction series, set in New England, that comes out each fall.
Julia, Ross's nicely wrought protagonist, is an ever-curious, pleasantly willful natural-born detective. Julie is in her early 30s and was raised in Busman's Harbor though she doesn't feel like she belongs. After college, she left to work in finance in New York City. When the recession threatened to bankrupt her family's longtime lobster bake business, she returns home to temporarily apply her skills to the Snowden Family Clambake.
It doesn't take long to figure out that the unfortunate human cinder is Stevie Noyes. Noyes runs Camp Gloosap, an RV park outside of town. He, too, serves on the Founder's Day planning committee but he is nowhere to be seen during the early morning setup. Who would guess that beneath his likeable and friendly veneer lurks disturbing secrets? T.V. Noyes, his real name, was the man who swindled many out of their savings in a penny stock scam. After serving 10 years in prison, he re-invented himself in Busman's Harbor. But he has a cluttered past that can't help but erupt. Among the detritus of his earlier life are two sons, an ex-mistress and a slew of angry victims.
With scant circumstantial evidence, the police target Cabe, the young and earnest new hire at Snowden Family Clambake. They see him as the likely murderer. Since this is the second in Ross's Clambake Mystery Series, the police already know Julia from a previous murder that she helped them solve. Perhaps because of smarting pride, they are somewhat duplicitous when it comes to dealing with her.
The two state police detectives seem determined to find and charge Cabe despite Julia's conviction that Cabe is simply a hardworking young man trying to scratch out a living. Cabe, we learn, is Noyes's son conceived out of wedlock and put up for adoption. Though he could have motive, Julia isn't convinced. He once saved her life by pushing her out of the way of an erratic driver. That driver, we learn later, bears watching.
People with pasts linked to T.V. Noyes coincidentally converge in Busman's Harbor on this particular August weekend. Among those we suspect are T.V. Noyes' ex-lover, both of his sons and the widow of one of the men he swindled. The husband, deeply depressed after losing everything, jumped off the Empire State Building. Each character finds his or her way to Busman's Harbor at this fateful moment in time. Who among them knows that Stevie Noyes was once T.V. Noyes? And who, two decades later, still has the rage to stab Noyes 17 times before stuffing him between the logs in the Claminator?
Despite the potentially lurid nature of the crime — heating up the town's clambake with a human body — this mystery is lots of fun, quite cleverly plotted and loaded with interesting history about everything from the Native Americans who, for generations, have picked blueberries by hand in Maine to the early settling of the Maine seacoast. This quick, friendly read tucks nicely into a beach bag. Before you pack the picnic lunch, however, you would do well to turn to the back of the book for some very appetizing recipes. One of Livvie's Lobster Salad rolls would go perfectly with "Boiled Over."

Actor Jim Nabors marries male partner in Seattle
Associated Press
HONOLULU - The actor best known for playing the TV character Gomer Pyle in the 1960s has married his male partner of 38 years.
Hawaii News Now (
) reports Jim Nabors and his partner, Stan Cadwallader, traveled from their Honolulu home to Seattle to be married Jan. 15.
Gay marriage became legal in Washington state last month.
The 82-year-old Nabors says you've got to solidify something when you've been together as long as they have.
They couple met in 1975 when Cadwallader was a Honolulu firefighter. Cadwallader is 64.
Nabors says he's been open about his homosexuality to co-workers and friends but never acknowledged it to the media before.
Nabors played Gomer Pyle in "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." television shows.

Gerson: Obama's powerful idea
Before his current trip, President Obama's Africa strategy was known for inattention at the highest level. Former Chinese President Hu Jintao made five extensive visits to Africa as head of state. Obama spent 20 hours in sub-Saharan Africa in 2009. The intense affection of a continent seemed unrequited, and foreign policy experts wondered if American emphasis on the region had been consciously downgraded.
This is one of those rare cases, however, in which the reality has often been better than the rhetoric (or lack of it). The Obama administration midwifed the birth of a new country, South Sudan. It has pushed for greater transparency in both American aid and in global extractive industries. It has renewed an emphasis on agricultural productivity through its Feed the Future initiative. In a difficult fiscal environment, it has fought to preserve overall aid budgets (though the recent cuts to PEPFAR, the president's emergency plan for AIDS relief, have been disturbing).
In all this, Obama has lacked a creative, signature initiative of his own. Until his speech in Cape Town, South Africa. Depending on its implementation and future scale, Power Africa - aimed at doubling access to electricity across the continent - could be a major strategic and moral advance.
Africa is an untold (though uneven) economic success story. A combination of greater stability, economic reform, high commodity prices, improved health and a demographic dividend of working-age adults has produced some of the fastest economic growth in the world. Since 2000, trade between the United States and Africa has more than tripled.
But anyone who has traveled to Lagos or Monrovia has seen the main obstacles to the next stage of African development: bad roads, poor sanitation and (especially) unreliable or nonexistent power. Seven in 10 people in sub-Saharan Africa have no access to electricity. Manufacturers run costly, dirty diesel generators and often operate at a fraction of capacity. Economists estimate a 2 percent to 5 percent yearly drag on economic output. It is difficult to be productive in the dark.
It is also difficult for children to do their homework at night, or for clinics to store vaccines or blood without reliable refrigeration, or for municipalities to run the pumps necessary for clean water and sanitation. Women and girls have an especially hard time of it: carrying firewood for long distances on their heads or backs, cooking with stoves that produce toxic fumes, giving birth in health facilities without lighting. Energy poverty is not merely economic; it is expressed in deforestation, respiratory illness, and maternal and child mortality.
It is also tragically unnecessary. Nigeria's rolling blackouts take place in a country with large natural gas reserves. During the past five years, there have been more than 60 major finds of potential fuel supplies on the African continent.
The administration's Power Africa initiative is designed to encourage electricity access for 20 million households in six focus countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania). It is strong on technical assistance to governments, immediate deliverables and cooperation with the private sector. General Electric and other major companies have made serious commitments to bring thousands of megawatts online. The program is weaker in its current, limited scale. To ensure universal power access by 2030 would require about $18 billion in yearly energy investments. The administration's effort involves $7 billion over five years. It will eventually be necessary to employ the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) more aggressively to drive, finance and insure the next phase of large-scale energy projects. (OPIC actually makes money on such deals, returning funds to the Treasury each year.)
A recently introduced bill in Congress - The Electrify Africa Act - seeks to do just that. Reps. Ed Royce, R-Calif., and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., set a power generation goal twice as large as the administration's. They also demonstrate the bipartisan appeal of market-oriented development policy. There is every reason for Republicans to support efforts that encourage economic independence, strengthen trading partners and compete with Chinese influence in a vital region.
Encouraging energy production also appeals to the way that Africans increasingly view themselves - not as the objects of compassion but as the generators of wealth. In 1961, Kenya had about the same GDP as South Korea. After a long detour, many African nations now hope to take the economic path of East Asia or Brazil. That journey can only be undertaken in the light.

A new version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 7, was announced at the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The release will feature, among a number of changes, a departure from the bubbly, skeuomorphic design that has prevailed on both iOS and OS X for the last several years in favor of flatter, more angular design elements influenced by Apple SVP of Industrial Design Jony Ive.
The most front-facing part of the OS, the home screen, now has app icons that lack the dimension and gloss effect of previous versions. Design elements within the icon, like the musical note on the Music app icon, appear as a flat design flush with the background rather than a cutout like before. iOS 7 isn't doing away completely with dimensionality, as some text elements shown in the intro video still feature embossing, and Ive emphasized that the OS focuses on "depth and vitality."
Many of the skeuomorphic touches are also gone from the OS, such as the textured paper in the iBooks app and the leather-bound elements in the Calendar app. Of the Game Center redesign, Apple SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi stated, "we just ran out of green felt."
The design also features much more black and white in place of color. Overall, colors in the OS have been lightened, and the prevailing font has been slimmed down. The interface responds to motion and can move app icons on the home screen in parallax in relation to the background behind them.
Live animations also prevail in the OS, including on the lock screen and in a top-down view of weather information in various locations. Folders can now have multiple pages, and broadly speaking, the OS now allows users to swipe between nested menus and interfaces rather than using a soft back button. A notifications menu is now accessible from the lock screen (presuming there are no security measures in place).
A "Control Center" in iOS 7 swipes up from the bottom of the home screen, giving access to quick settings like WiFi on/off, airplane mode, and a flashlight. The OS will also integrate with the iCloud keychain that was announced during the OS X Mavericks portion of the WWDC keynote.
A new multitasking interface appears to feature windows showing active apps that are scrollable above their icons. iOS 7 notices which apps a user checks periodically throughout the day and will update them according to the usage pattern. The multitasking interface is pulled up by a "double tap" of the Home button. Push triggers will update apps when they pop up a notification rather than waiting for the user to actually open the app before pulling in new information.
AirDrop support will be added in iOS 7, which allows for direct file-sharing between iOS and mac OS X devices over WiFi. Information like contacts or photos can be shared over AirDrop using an ad-hoc connection. "No need to wander around, bumping your phone," said Federighi.
Updates to Safari include a new bookmark-browsing and reading list-browsing interface. Tabs now appear as a scrollable stack, which are no longer limited to 8 tabs.
The camera app now allows users to swipe between normal, square, and panoramic crops, as well as live photo filters. "Moments" within a revamped Photos app allow users to browse their photos by location and pull them into an album together. A new sharing interface also allows users to share video from within Photos, which can now be captured at 60 frames per second.
Siri has been updated with an optional male voice in iOS 7 in English, French, and German and now integrates search results for Wikipedia, Bing, and images. Siri will power an app called "iOS in the Car" that will live inside vehicles coming in 2014, where drivers can request directions, have messages read to them, or play music via a hands-free interface.
The App Store app has also been updated to pull in updates automatically—no more red badge nagging you to temporarily render your favorite apps inactive while they update.
In terms of personal security, iOS 7 will also now allow users to block phone and FaceTime calls as well as messages, though Apple explained little about how this would work. iOS 7 will have an "activation lock" feature to act as a theft deterrent: if a thief tries to turn a phone off or wipe it, they will not be able to re-activate it.
The Music app's design has been refreshed and now features a new service called "iTunes Radio."
iOS 7 will be available to developers in beta today. The iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, 5th-gen iPod touch and later, and the iPad mini will all have access to the update "later this fall."
Apple's WWDC is still in progress, and we will update this article as details become available. For up-to-the-minute coverage, you can follow our liveblog.

Health insurance companies help by lowering the cost of general and specialty healthcare services. Additionally, they can act as a resource to help answer questions and guide you to a provider that meets your needs.
In-network means your insurance provider and Dr. Rafael A. Navarro, MD have a contractual agreement to provide healthcare services at a discounted rate, often called a negotiated rate, that you pay.
Example: You go to a doctor that's in-network and the total charge is $250. A discount is applied to that amount for our negotiated rate with the doctor. The discount is $75. Your insurance pays $140. You'll have to pay the remainder, which is $35.
If you're looking for a specialist, keep in mind they may not accept your insurance if they and your insurance carrier were unable to negotiate discounted services. We recommend calling Dr. Rafael A. Navarro, MD office to confirm if they take your insurance.

Your toilets, sinks, and faucets are the most frequently used plumbing fixtures in your home. Like with anything, constant repeated use can lead to eventual, unavoidable disrepair. We have 24/7 emergency plumbers ready to respond if your toilet is leaking, backed up, or not flushing. Not just that, but if you have a sink that's clogged and not draining or a faucet that feels loose and leaky, they're just as ready to help.
You can rely on our experienced plumbers to deal with your pipes and seepage needs, day or night, with never an additional time charge. We are quick to figure out complementary solutions to your plumbing crisis pipes, private pipes, and toilet cleaning needs. If you need something new installed, whether, for an entire home renovation project or just a desire for a single stylish update, we're capable of working with you to determine and decide the very best upgrade option for your home. We service the greater New Castle Pennsylvania area.
Everyone has experienced it at one time or another in his or her life: flushing the toilet only to see the water level rise and rise. As the liquid ascends and threatens to breach the rim, a sense of helpless panic sets in. Hurriedly, you rush to move anything that is at risk of getting soaked to higher ground. Using a toilet plunger may be all that's needed to send the water back down the drain and avoid a calamity. But suppose the plunger proves to be ineffective or the problem recurs frequently. In that case, you will need to call in a professional.
It is important to note that store-bought drain cleaning products are not recommended for use in toilets. An experienced plumbing technician can use the latest drain cleaning technology to clear out even the most stubborn clogs. We can also inspect the pipes to uncover the root cause of the problem if it occurs frequently.
Repairing a clogged toilet can be a messy and unpleasant job. Fixing a clog correctly the first time will help ensure that it does not need to be done again. That's why it's always best to entrust the job with a qualified professional.
The most common toilet issue is a stubborn clog that causes the water to overflow, creating a terrible mess in your bathroom. When using a plunger proves to be ineffective in solving the problem, or if the clog happens frequently, you will probably need a professional's assistance.
Another common problem is the constant running of water from the tank into the bowl. In addition to being annoying for the continuous noise it creates, this issue can also be an expensive one when you consider the cost of all that wasted water on your monthly bills. This kind of problem is usually the result of a faulty component inside the tank that allows the water to continuously drain into the bowl.
Water may also be leaking from your toilet if the wax ring locally located between the bowl and the drain becomes cracked or dried out. You may even notice your toilet wobbling from side to side or appearing unstable if you have a broken anchor flange.
A crack or break in the bowl or tank is also a common reason for replacement, as such problems cannot usually be repaired. We service the greater New Castle Pennsylvania area.
Usually, clogged drains are caused by a buildup of grease and grime, most often from food waste or other organic matter, along the inside of the pipe. The sticky buildup can trap hair and other solids to constrict the flow of wastewater and eventually become completely blocked.
Drain cleaning products like those you will find in your local grocery or hardware store are only useful in eliminating some clogs. Furthermore, in some instances, they can create a bigger problem than they solve. Our licensed technicians will employ an auger or snake to quickly and effectively clear out the blockage for most clogs. In the case of more challenging clogs or blockages caused by tree roots growing into the sewer line, we may use a process known as hydro jetting to resolve the problem.
It is critical to find a qualified and expert plumbing professional to take care of your drainpipes. The experts at Baker Brothers have all the know-how and experience to quickly and efficiently eliminate the blockage from your drains and ensure that the problem does not come back. We service the greater New Castle Pennsylvania area.
Every day there are hundreds of gallons of water flowing through pipes, fixtures, and drains in your home, and because of that, they can get clogged or start to show signs of wear and tear over time. When your plumbing system starts to fail you, it is essential you immediately contact a plumber so they can evaluate the current and potential damage and offer you further guidance on the plumbing repairs you need to consider having done.
Most of the items you put down the drain will remain unchanged from the time they go down the household drain or toilet. They don't breakdown and tend to clog the wastewater system. The cost of maintaining the system will reflect on your utility bill. Grease is a liquid when it goes down but quickly hardens on the pipes. The oil accumulates on the canals and ultimately makes the pipe so small that even typical wastewater can not make its way through the system. That only leaves one way for it to flow. We service the greater New Castle Pennsylvania area.

'Rosemary's Baby' remake shifts horror to Paris
ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX, France — Wiry Zoe Saldana got a kick out of wearing a huge fake belly as she played a young, pregnant wife on the Paris set of the remake of the classic horror tale "Rosemary's Baby."
"Every time I wear the really big ones, it breaks everybody's heart whenever we're doing all those stressful scenes, so I am milking that, I am really milking that," the actress quipped as she sat in a hospital room used as a filming location.
Saldana is Rosemary Woodhouse in the two-episode remake of Ira Levin's 1967 book, which director Roman Polanski also turned into an unforgettable 1968 film. The four-hour series directed by Agnieszka Holland also stars Patrick J. Adams, Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet and will air on NBC on May 11 - Mother's Day in the U.S. - and May 15.
Saldana and Adams play an American couple who settle in Paris near posh French neighbors, Margaux and Roman Castevet (Bouquet and Isaacs). Then newly pregnant Rosemary begins to worry that the Castevets have malevolent plans for her baby.
Holland, a Polish director known for her work on HBO shows "The Wire" and "Treme," said the plot of "Rosemary's Baby" follows the novel, except it's set in Paris instead of New York and shows more "blood." Fans of the original may wonder how that is possible.
"It has more adventures. It has more blood," said Holland, a three-time Oscar nominee. " It is, you know, a contemporary American TV series, so you need some meat inside."
Moving the story to the French capital isolates the main characters more than the book and increases the tensions, according to Adams, a Canadian actor known for his role as Mike Ross, an up-and-coming New York lawyer in the TV series "Suits."
"The sense of being alone in a place can be so terrifying. I think it really ends up putting Guy and Rosemary in a difficult position because they don't know anybody," Adams said.
Holland said the series explores the tensions between the happiness of giving birth and the sometimes-shocking psychological and physical changes that pregnancy brings about in women.
"It's interesting to see how this acceptance (of the baby), even if it's something very painful, is coming," she said.
Saldana, who starred in James Cameron's "Avatar" and the two "Star Trek" films by J.J. Abrams, said playing a pregnant woman took both a physical and emotional toll.
"The moment I put the belly on, my body just feels really tired," she said. "I just allow myself to be sort of like an open vessel, where emotions just come in and then they go out."
Bouquet, a French film star, praised Holland's filming style and her relentlessness on the set.
"She does whatever she wants with the light, I must say," Bouquet said. "I mean it's exquisite the way she shoots, you know, and she gets exactly what she wants. She won't give up."
Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" starred Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes and won Ruth Gordon an Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance as Minnie Castevet.
Saldana said she was grateful for getting to play the same part as Farrow but added that she and Holland tried to give Rosemary their own touch.
"It is a gift to be able to play a role that another actress, a very iconic actress, played and found a very special way to make it authentic," she said.

President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks about his gun violence proposals, Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, at the Minneapolis Police Department's Special Operations Center in Minneapolis, where he outlined his plan before law enforcement personnel. Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
Speaking at the Minneapolis Police Department's Special Operations Center in Minneapolis, President Obama, says, "We don't have to agree on everything to agree it's time to do something."
By Kasie Hunt
Declaring "we're not going to wait until the next Newtown," President Barack Obama appealed directly to the American public on Monday to pressure reluctant lawmakers in Congress to move forward with gun control legislation.
Obama flew to Minneapolis, Minn., to urge constituents to contact their representatives and press for a package of new gun laws, including a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, universal background checks for gun buyers and new rules targeting gun traffickers.
"We don't have to agree on everything to agree it's time to do something," Obama said, standing in front of a group of uniformed law enforcement officers.
Obama's campaign-like strategy is designed to maintain a sense of urgency for gun control measures in the wake of the elementary school shootings in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 elementary school children and 6 adults.
But the president conceded Monday that his plans already face steep hurdles in Congress.
"Changing the status quo is never easy," Obama said. "This will be no exception."
Obama's remarks in Minneapolis reflected the political realities on Capitol Hill, where Democratic leadership aides privately say an assault weapons ban has little chance of passing. The fight will instead center on universal background checks and, some Democrats hope, high capacity magazines.
On Monday, Obama labeled universal background checks as "commonsense" and "smart" reforms that would earn bipartisan support.
"There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get that done," he said.
There's some evidence of that: While the National Rifle Association says it opposes universal background checks, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has been working with New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and other Democrats to craft background check legislation.
For the politically difficult elements of his proposals – the bans on weapons and magazines – Obama set a more modest goal: "That deserves a vote in Congress," he said.
That's about the extent of what Senate Democratic aides say they can muster. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who earned a "B" grade from the National Rifle Association, said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that he plans to allow the Senate Judiciary Committee to start writing a gun bill. If it doesn't initially include the ban, senators could try to add it later in the process, as an amendment on the Senate floor.
Reid has no plans to introduce his own gun bill, a senior Democratic aide said Monday, instead leaving that process to the Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Still, aides acknowledged, including a gun ban in the overall package could prevent other, more popular gun regulations from passing Congress.
Democratic aides say Leahy hasn't yet decided exactly what he'll include in the bill, though he's introduced a measure that would crack down on people who illegally buy guns to give or sell to others. Before the committee starts writing a bill, planned for later in February, there will be at least two more hearings – one this week in the Constitution Subcommittee and another full committee hearing after that.
Congress held its first hearings on gun control late last month, where National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre clashed with Democratic senators and emerged in opposition to universal background checks.
Obama referred to lobbyists like LaPierre in his remarks, though he didn't mention the longtime gun advocate by name. He urged Americans to tell Congress if he didn't speak for them.
"If we've got lobbyists in Washington claiming to speak for gun owners saying something different, we've got to go to the source," Obama said. "We cannot allow those filters to get in the way of common sense… keep the pressure on your member of Congress to do the right thing."

Today in the News: 80-year-old survives bear attack, fall off cliff
News to know
An 80-year-old Russia man lived to tell the tale of a bear attack and a fall down a cliff. The man, shepherd Yusuf Alchagirov, found himself face to face with a bear last week. Alchagirov headbutted and kicked the bear to get it to leave, and after a scuffle in which the man suffered bite wounds, the bear swatted him down - and off a cliff. The man had bruises and four broken ribs in addition to the bites, but he survived.

A parade of electrified vehicles, including the Chevy Volt, dominated a new Consumer Reports survey asking car owners if they would buy their cars again. The Volt finished first in the category of small cars, followed by the Toyota Prius C and Nissan Leaf. Three hybrids — the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Prius Plug-In — topped the family cars category, while the Toyota Prius V beat all competitors among wagons and minivans.
Consumer Reports said the results will help bring hybrids even further into the automotive mainstream. "Some people are still suspicious of hybrids," Eric Evarts, senior associate autos editor for Consumer Reports, told us. "But as they hear — mainly through word of mouth — that others are happy with them, it starts to break down barriers."
The annual Consumer Reports owner satisfaction survey asks car owners a single question: Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get the same vehicle if you had to do it all over again? The organization received about 350,000 responses on more than 240 models, spanning the model years from 2010 to 2013. The Chevy Volt had the highest score of any vehicle; 92 percent of owners said they would definitely buy it again. Other high-scoring vehicles included the Porsche 911 (91 percent), Chevrolet Corvette (91 percent), Audi A7 (90 percent), and Dodge Challenger (90 percent).
Consumer Reports editors said they were not surprised by the good performance of hybrids, especially the Volt. "You've got relatively few people who buy them, but they are finding out that the technology works," Evarts said. "It can eventually cut them off from having to buy gasoline without placing any restrictions on their lives." Not all hybrids did well in the survey. Evarts said the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX 450h didn't perform as well as the Volt or Priuses. "For someone who buys a luxury sedan or an SUV, a hybrid doesn't offer them much. It gives a couple miles per gallon, and miles per gallon probably isn't even on their radar."
The survey contrasts sharply with an R.L. Polk & Co. study that found roughly two-thirds of hybrid owners who returned to the market in 2011 did not opt for another hybrid. Polk economists said the study revealed that consumers who buy hybrids to be eco-friendly generally stick with them, but those trying to save money may opt for more fuel-efficient gasoline-burning vehicles the second time around. The Polk study also tracked new car buyers, whereas the Consumer Reports survey looked at owner satisfaction.
Evarts said the high scores for vehicles such as the Volt and Leaf may also reflect the number of early adopters who are responding to the Consumer Reports survey. Because early adopters are enthusiasts by nature, they are expected to be satisfied with their vehicles. "There are still relatively few buyers of these vehicles, especially the Nissan Leaf," he said. "But we expect the satisfaction numbers to start falling off as they become more mainstream. Eventually, these cars won't just be purchased by enthusiastic early adopters."

An anal fissure is a cut or tear in the lining of the anus. The anus is the opening through which stool leaves the body. Tears generally occur just inside the opening.
Anal Fissure
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The exact cause of an anal fissure is unknown. In most cases, tearing is the result of trauma to the anal lining. Trauma can be caused by:
- A large, dry, or hard stool
- Frequent diarrhea
- Tightened anal sphincter, a group of muscles that open and close the anus
- Childbirth
- Anal irritation
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance an anal fissure include:
- Constipation
- Straining to pass a bowel movement
- Prior anal surgery, which can cause scarring and decrease the tissue's elasticity
- Chronic diarrhea
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
- Receptive anal intercourse
Anal fissure may cause:
- Pain during and after a bowel movement
- Burning sensation during a bowel movement
- Bleeding with bowel movements that result in bright red blood either on the toilet tissue or in the bowl
- Small amounts of mucous may be present
Apprehension about bowel movement pain may cause you to delay bowel movements. This can make the symptom worse.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Anal fissures are generally visible, so diagnosis can be made with an anal exam. If it is not visible, but suspected, your doctor may need to do other tests as long as it is not too painful. These tests include:
- Digital rectal exam—to feel for any lumps or abnormalities
- Anoscopy—examination of the anal canal with a scope
Fissures usually occur in predictable locations around the anus. If there are multiple cuts, or a cut in an unusual location, the doctor may order additional tests to look for other conditions.
Treatment aims to heal the cut and prevent future anal problems. Most fissures heal on their own or with self-care. Fissures that are fairly new are easier to heal than ones that have persisted for longer than 3 months.
Treatments include:
Fissures may heal by changing some of your daily habits. These include:
- Warm sitz baths, especially after bowel movements, to help relieve pain and promote healing
- Increasing dietary fiber intake
- Increasing fluid intake
- Using stool softeners or bulk laxatives
Your doctor may prescribe:
- Topical medications to reduce pain and inflammation
- Topical nitrates and calcium channel blockers to increase blood flow to the anus and promote healing
- Injected botulinum toxin to relax tightened anal sphincter muscles
Surgery may be necessary for:
- Fissures that do not heal with other treatment methods
- Scar tissue or spasms in the anal sphincter muscles that may also delay healing
- Recurrent fissures
Surgical procedures include:
- Lateral internal sphincterotomy—A tiny incision is made in the sphincter muscle fibers to prevent spasms that result in straining during a bowel movement.
- Fissurectomy—Excision of the fissure
- Anal advancement flap—Covering the fissure with tissue from another part of the body
- Anal dilation—Rare procedure that widens and stretches the anal canal
To help reduce the chance of an anal fissure:
- Drinky plent of fluids throughout the day
- Exercise regularly
- Eat foods high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains
- Avoid straining during bowel movements
- Follow your treatment plan if you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
