Liberty Families – We will be following indoor arrival procedures this morning because of the rainy conditions. If you are dropping your child off at Liberty, use the east side drop off loop as normal, dropping off in the areas marked with cones from the right side of the vehicle. We will direct students to their indoor areas. Thank you.
It's almost that time. Please be aware of students on your morning commute. 🚌🐯🚸 ⚠ If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. ⚠ Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children ⚠ If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop ⚠ The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus ⚠ Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks.

Come and listen to some beautiful music at the Freedom/Horizon/Liberty 5th Grade Band Concert @ HHS on April 16 @ 7PM!
The following are TWO important messages from the Harrisburg School District: 🚧 Minnesota Avenue Construction 🚧 Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday April 3rd, construction will begin on SD-115/Minnesota Avenue. Construction will be completed in phases over two years, with the first phase taking place between just south of the Minnesota/Willow St. Intersection north to the Apple Orchard. No other traffic, other than local traffic, will be able to travel on Minnesota during this time. For the time being, the contractor will allow our students coming from the west on 110/Willow St. to turn north on to 115/Minnesota Ave. to get to Tiger Way from 7:30 – 8:00am. After 8am, and for the rest of the day, all traffic will need to enter & exit through the SOUTH of the school (onto Willow St.) and may proceed east or west from there. Affected bus routes will not change until fall, and further details will be provided at that time. Please encourage students to drive along paved routes. 🐯 Last Day of School 🐯 Barring any further missed school days, the last day of school will now be Thursday, May 23rd due to make up days.

Our buses will travel where possible, but with conditions changing constantly, we cannot guarantee we will get down each road. Please consider your best options under the circumstances.

Liberty Families: As the year progresses, it is good to review procedures we have put in place both before and after school to ensure our learners' safety coming to and leaving the Liberty Campus. Morning Drop-off Procedures: All families dropping off their child/children at Liberty will use the east side loop. Families should not drop off students at the west office doors unless this has been arranged previously with Mr. Weaver. We ask that families drop-off students from the right lane only in the designated area that has a painted curb and is marked with cones. Children should only exit the vehicle from the right side to avoid vehicles driving through in the left lane. Adults should not leave their vehicle in the drop-off lanes to walk their child/children to the playground. Please park in the east lot if you wish to walk your child to the playground. After-school Pick-up Procedures: Students in grades K-2 should be picked up on the east side, either by using the east side loop or parking in the east parking lot and walking to the playground to pick up your student(s). Students in grades 3-5 who do not have a younger sibling may be picked up on the west side of Liberty along Columbia next to the building or the west end of the North parking lot. Families with K-2 students may NOT use the North parking lot as a pick up location after school as we will need this for our daycare busses/vans and parents picking up their children in grades 3-5, specifically the parking spots adjacent to the playground If you have been using this area for after school pick-up, please use the east side loop as directed. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we strive to provide a safe experience for our students and families.

4 Things No One Warns you About When Buying an Old House
This February, two Southport families are reportedly facing a bitter court battle over an independent asbestos test. You may want to avoid a messy situation like this especially if you are looking to buy an older home on the market. The following checklist includes just a few things you should keep in mind like hiring your own inspector that conducts asbestos testing Gold Coast wide, before signing the deed to your vintage home.
Older Building Materials
Although homes with four walls and a roof seem like the basic blueprint for building homes, building materials and technology are constantly changing. People who buy older homes may buy it for lucrative pricing, however, more often than not it is for the character or personality of the house itself. High ceilings and wooden beams are aesthetically pleasing but should be inspected for things like dampness, rot and insulation. You can also hire an inspector that offers services of asbestos testing Gold Coast wide to do the same. Materials such as Asbestos can cause severe harm to you and your family if do not avail services of asbestos testing Gold Coast inspectors conduct.
Old Homes Have Character
If you are buying a home that is old, chances are there may be a stone or brick fireplace, solid wood porches that wrap around the house and kitchens that might come with brick ovens. If you plan to strip the home completely of its character and add overly modern aesthetics, you may not be able to achieve the right balance of aesthetical value, making your home look tacky or disjointed. When your independent inspector checks your ceilings and beams you may want to ask them to also conduct thorough asbestos testing to safeguard yourself from future illness.
Remodeling Budget
An older home will obviously require you to do some remodeling, whether it is before you move in or later. Hence, services of SAES Safe Air Environmental Services Gold Coast professionals conduct must be availed. Even waterproofing of your bathrooms should be checked for. Currently, homeowners prefer a large open floor plan with large closets, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The same desire was not shared by homes designed decades earlier, where dividers were considered fashionable and smaller cozier bedrooms and larger living rooms were preferred. If you have fallen in love with an older home, you may need to knock down a few walls to appeal to your modern aesthetics, while preserving certain old school charms your new home has to offer.
Review Home Owners Insurance
No matter what kind of home you buy, homeowners' insurance is an expensive must-have to protect your investment. Since old homes come with a bigger risk, some insurance companies are not willing to pay exorbitant bills in case of faulty wires and old plumbing. You should call around to get quotes from experienced insurance companies before signing any document to protect yourself from any unforeseen hazards.
Owning an old home requires a certain amount of upkeep, funds and personality. You should speak with your entire family and make a list of things to do before purchase; for instance, find asbestos testing Gold Coast professionals. You can also look online before purchasing your new older home by visiting sites like http://safeaires.com.au/asbestos-testing-in-toowoomba-ipswich-gold-coast-sunshine-coast-qld/.

Gov. Chris Christie's efforts to reclaim some of the unused money set aside for affordable housing were somewhat thwarted by a decision Friday when an appellate court ruled that towns have the right to appeal that decision. Director of Policy and Advocacy at Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey Staci Berger spoke with NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider about affordable housing in the state and what's next in the process.
Berger said the court ruling requires the Department of Community Affairs to explain to municipalities why they were losing the money accumulated since 2008 and give them the opportunity to appeal the decision.
She said it's too soon to tell if the ruling will delay efforts to create affordable housing options throughout the state. "We do know towns have been working very tenaciously to spend the money that they were at risk of losing," she explained. "So in some cases the deadline did do what it was intended to do and that was to spur development in the communities where there needed to be more opportunities for homes and jobs."
Berger said municipalities have already spent about $40 million of the $200 million Christie put in the state budget for affordable housing. "We think towns have been working properly to spend that money up until the deadline and potentially beyond because the court order does allow them to show the administration through the Council on Affordable Housing that they intend to spend that money in a way that is appropriate," she said.
While Berger said some of the leftover funds could be because of the economic downturn and its effect on development in general, she believes there are other factors as well. "There were towns that were not sure what the rules of the game were and they didn't want to take that chance that they were going to spend and commit money without knowing what the governor's office meant by commit money," she said. "I think there were also some towns that have said, 'We don't intend to build homes for low to moderate income families and we're not going to spend that money and we're going to hope that the governor takes it.'"
The need for affordable housing in New Jersey is well documented, according to Berger. "What we don't have is clear guidance yet from the administration or from the courts about what communities need to do to meet those obligations," she said. "There's still a lot of uncertainty but what we do know is that towns have some expectation to build those homes and that they need to use those dollars as quickly as possible."
Turning foreclosures into affordable housing would benefit everyone, Berger said. "It would take vacant properties off the market and put them into the tax rolls," she said. "So we would have places for people to live, for people who need those places. That's a win-win for everybody."

So I found a sad old china cabinet that needs some love and was able to get the price down to $50!
It's a little chipped and the veneer is cracking and warping in places but I think I can make her beautiful again. A lot of sanding and a little paint.
Because I have so much on my plate right now. I decided to dress it up with some dishes and live with it as is for a bit. That's why you are seeing the before and during today. Someday, hopefully soon, I can show you the after. I'll get some paint chips and maybe you can help me choose - pretty please?

Was this even posted? Nevertheless this one took me back and forth to Fort McKay in the darkest hours of the night and became the theme of working out there. The eerie organs that emanate from this run through your spine and can make every hair stand up.
Puts things into prospective as you are surrounded by lots of people working up north, but you truly are all alone.

I was fortunate this week to be a part of a celebratory breakfast honoring first responders. The definition of a first responder is someone designated or trained to respond to an emergency. Let's think about that for a minute. There are many different types of people in this world and we all would react differently in the event of an emergency. Some of us will be frozen in where we stand, some of us will turn away, some of us will ignore it and hope someone else will step up to help. Then there are the chosen few who are called to run in help those in danger or crisis.
They run into burning buildings when everyone else is running out. They assist those trapped in burning or wrecked cars without the thought of the imminent danger to themselves. They comfort the badly injured and those who are traumatized. They even play mediator and counselor for domestic issues in families and tend to some of our frail and lonely elderly. It takes a special kind of person to perform these actions under enormous amounts of pressure.
These men and women are members of our fire departments, police departments, sheriff's departments, and paramedic teams. They work all hours of the day and night. They help all kinds of people from the very wealthy, the middle class and the poorest of the poor. All the while, they think not of themselves but of only helping others.
Maybe it's a certain type of person who does this job, maybe it's a calling. Either way, I am glad they are here. Take some time to reflect on what these first responders do for our lives. Even if you have never had the misfortune to need one, you will be glad to know they are there if you do. If you see a first responder while going about your day, thank them for the service they provide.
Touching Hearts Senior Care has provided Dementia Training for our first responders. The training helps them understand the disease, recognize the symptoms and how to respond appropriately. For more information about Touching Hearts Senior Care, visit our website www.touchingheartsseniorcare.com

Nothing brings a smile to my face like driving up to our home at night and seeing all the beautiful Christmas lights lighting up our front porch. Main street in Versailles is lined with all kinds of lights and decorations and it even extends down to the homes past downtown where our home sits. Everyone seems to go all out with their decorations and I love seeing all the historic homes decorated in their own unique way.
I still have to pinch myself when it comes to decorating our front porch, because I just can't get used to having SO much great space to deck out! We lined the roof lines on the front of our house with lights as well as the columns and staircase on our porch. My favorite element of the porch is the collection of trees and lanterns on each side of the front door. I clustered lots of different sized twig trees, placing some in old buckets or baskets. The trees I used were all pre-lit and came in a 3-pack from Big Lots (all slightly different heights). These were on sale for only $25 for the set of 3 on Black Friday, so I purchased two sets for the porch. Big Lots always seems to have great deals on basics like this for Christmas decorating on Black Friday and these are some of my favorite finds ever from there. I will be able to use them for years to come inside or out. I also used lots of various gold lanterns that I had been collecting from Homegoods + Target throughout the year (and usually used on our side porch) filled with battery-powered twinkle lights for some extra sparkle.
On the front door I layered my favorite gold leaf wreath over a fresh boxwood wreath from Trader Joe's. Layering wreaths is one of my favorite tricks for creating more of a custom look without spending a lot of time or money. I used fresh garland to drape around the door and staircase leading up to the porch too. On each window, I hung a simple fresh wreath too from Home Depot (these go on sale every year on Black Friday, so I always stock up then). I added some holiday cheer to our bench with some Christmas quote pillows from our shop and a bright vintage plaid blanket. I love how a mini fresh Christmas tree looks nestled inside a vintage basket, especially tucked behind a vintage twig reindeer (below).
I always use my barnwood "JOY" sign on the porch too for Christmas. It is double sided with "FALL" written on the other side so that I can use it throughout both seasons. In front of it I placed a giant wooden trough filled with magnolia branches, fresh greenery, and sticks. I used this same wooden trough for my fall porch too but filled with pumpkins and gourds instead. On the other side of the porch I also added a vintage sleigh and ice skates leaning beside the trees. Vintage sleighs are something that is super easy to find while thrifting or at antique shops, and are perfect for decorating inside or outside your home (and they can stay out all winter even past Christmas!).
I hope you enjoyed following along with my first holiday home tour in our new fixer upper! You can find the rest of the rooms from my tour here, and as always I've linked up all my sources for you to shop at the end of this post!

A dog's critical socialization period occurs between 3 and 12 weeks of age. This is the time when their brains are waiting for their environment to tell them what is normal.

In the Reggio Emilia Philosophy, paying close attention to children is of paramount importance. Observing children, how they play, and their verbal and non-verbal communications allows for the teachers to extend their learning in an authentic way. When children are interested in what they are doing, they are far more engaged and this naturally leads to more critical thinking and long term learning. Most importantly, the child has a good experience with learning and being challenged. The children give their teachers infinite opportunities to infuse the projects with classic academics such as literacy, math, and science in a multi-sensory way. Below are some projects happening around the school that beautifully demonstrate children being engaged and learning on their own terms.
With the international festival approaching, we have been learning about our diverse cultures. One student's heritage lead us to China. As we discussed Chin as a class, it led to a conversation about eating with chopsticks. We had a lesson on using chopsticks and incorporated math into our project!
The children in the sky class have been making many lego boats and they enjoy the different provocations with play dough. To offer an additional challenge in critical thinking, the teachers set up two separate provocations for the children. With the lego boats, the children were challenged to predict if theirs would sink or float. With play dough, the children were given popsicle sticks and challenged to make a 3D object - this is a common STEM activity because it incorporates so much math, physics, and analytical thinking into the creation.
The children in the Sand class are still interested in shapes! We find shapes in the books we read, the drawings we paint, our faces, our environment and everywhere else we can! To further enrich this project, the teachers created shapes of glue lines with cut yarn for the children to place on the glue. This was a difficult fine motor and gross motor task for the children to complete but they did not give up! The children were also presented with tape outline of shapes and colors we have been discussing often in class.
Our infants are constantly curious! Food is always a fascination at this age. They instinctively touch, squeeze, pinch, and explore food. The teachers created a beautiful and inviting provocation with apple slices on the light table. We encourage our infants to grow their natural curiosities by giving them plenty of sensory experiences and opportunities to make sense of the world around them.

Thanks Tamara! I got my parents to bring out my favourite type of chocolate (Dairy Milk) which we can also buy here but doesn't taste the same.

6 Tips for Consignment Sale Rookies
Earn money while cleaning out the nursery and playroom! Sounds too good to be true right? It's not! Consignment sales are the perfect opportunity to clean out whatever holds those new and gently used baby, kid and teenage items and still make money in the process. The whole consignment sale process may seem a little intimidating for a first time consignor. Don't let it scare you away!
Heed these consignment sale tips from Kim Willaby, owner of the area's top-rated consignment sale, The Upscale Weesale, so you head into your 1st time consignor role looking like a seasoned pro.
1. Find Your Perfect Match - Take past consignment sale shopping experiences into consideration. If you left one sale feeling underwhelmed, but have always had luck buying must-haves at another, then maybe this is your consignment sale match! Other things to consider as a 1st time consignor are the sales:
Accepted Brands
Season (Spring/Summer vs. Fall/Winter)
Type of Sale
Sign-up Fee
Consignor Earning Percentage and Perks
2. Time is On Your Side - Depending on when the consignment sale is, you should always give yourself a month or two to really comb through all the baby, kid and teen items that you have accumulated. Give yourself time to:
Gather all your items and separate into piles based on size, like items, etc.
Sort through items to review condition
Try to match tops with bottoms (sets sell quickly!)
Make sure toys are cleaned, have fresh batteries and have all parts
Check to see if any items have been recalled
3. Pricing, Hangers and Printing, Oh My! - After doing some serious pile making and possible purging of items that just don't make the consignment sale cut, get to pricing, hanging and tagging! This may seem like the most intimidating part of consignment sales. At The Upscale WeeSale, we have consignors enter each item into our computer system. This makes it easier for us and consignors to keep track of items, as well as a faster way for tags to be printed and produced without handwriting labels! If this feels like an overwhelming task, some consignment sales, like The Upscale WeeSale, offer a fee-based tagging service where we price, hang and tag all items for you!
When pricing, you can find helpful guides just by searching Google, but you really should be thinking, "what would I pay for this item at a consignment sale?" Remember to price items to sell! You want to make money while cleaning out your closets!
Each sale differs with how items need to be hung on hangers, as well as what type and size hanger is allowed. Pins are often required to secure clothing items, as well as large Ziploc bags to keep loose items contained. When printing tags, make sure the ink is dark and not smudged. Stock up on ink and cardstock before the sale so you don't have to run to Target for last minute tagging supplies!
4. Sale Percentage + Ways to Earn More - Know how much you are getting back at the end of the day! When it comes to a consignment sale, consignors only make back a set percentage of their earnings. What percentage do you earn back? Depends on the sale! Upscale WeeSale consignors earn 66%. Look for additional ways to make more of a percentage back or wave a sign-up fee like volunteering for one or more shifts.
6. Getting Items To and From the Sale - Dropping off and picking up your items can be stressful for first time consignors. When signing up to consign, choose a pickup and drop off time (if the sale offers it) that works best for YOUR schedule. Loading and unloading your car may be tricky, so confirm with the sale if they offer carts, bins or other devices to help you move your toys, clothes, baby items and more with ease. Often times sales will offer to donate any unsold items, thereby giving you the opportunity to contribute to a good cause, while also avoiding picking up your items. Upscale WeeSale consignors who opt to have their items donated need to check the 'donate' checkbox during the entry process. Donation receipts will be available to download after the sale is over.

The Importance Of Proper Branding In Music
BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-ca-ms-motley-crue-20150809-story.html#page=1
"Mötley Crüe's longtime manager, Allen Kovac, sees Led Zeppelin, which disbanded in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham, as the ideal precedent. "No one has left more money on the table than Zeppelin, and yet they have one of the highest-selling catalogs and merchandising lines in the world because they didn't go out and diminish the brand like so many bands have," Kovac says. "Mötley Crüe recognized that part of the puzzle."
Perhaps Kovac has a point about branding? Cut to… http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/on-the-charts-led-zeppelins-in-through-the-out-door-back-in-top-10-20150809

A bill that makes it easier for people to leave reviews on websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor without fear of being sued by businesses for sharing their opinion has become law.
The Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016 makes it illegal for companies to include "gag clauses" in their contracts that penalize or prohibit people from leaving reviews on websites and other forums. President Barack Obama signed the act and 20 other bills into law on Wednesday without comment.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, an original co-sponsor of the bill, said the law was necessary after people found themselves in multi-million dollar lawsuits after they left negative online reviews.
"The Consumer Review Fairness Act is a common-sense solution that ensures no American has their opinion silenced online. When consumers have negative experiences or when a product fails to meet their expectations, it's our right to express those concerns to others," Issa said in a statement.
These types of online reviews and discussions help make the marketplace stronger, he said.
Companies, however, can still sue over libelous reviews, and contracts can still include confidentiality clauses. Additionally, the bill does not end prohibitions against, or prevent websites from removing, reviews that contain proprietary information, personal and medical information, computer viruses or other sensitive information.
The Federal Trade Commission will be responsible for enforcement and for educating businesses on how to comply with the act.
The legislation was introduced to the House of Representatives in April and was backed bipartisan group of original co-sponsors. It passed that chamber in September on a voice vote, and cleared the Senate unanimously on Nov. 28 before it was referred to the president.
In Sept. 2014 Gov. Jerry Brown signed similar legislation that prohibits businesses from requiring their customers to enter into contracts that include provisions that prohibit them from reviewing the goods or services they receive.

PETAL, MS (WDAM) - It's been more than a decade since the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our nation. Every year the memories of that day play back in many American's minds.
Every anniversary, Staff Sergeant Michelle Hutton, of Petal, takes time out with her family, two sons, now 9 and 11. She explains September 11 to them, and the time they lost together due to her deployments following that day in 2001.
"That was a large attack on the United States," said Hutton.
Hutton signed up for the United States Air Force at a young age.
"I knew my mom wouldn't have been able to afford college, so I found out I could go into the military at 17, and they would give me a 100 percent free tuition. So, I said sign me up," said Hutton.
Hutton admits she didn't know what to expect.
"My first deployment was in 98, and I went to Saudi Arabia for Operation Southern Watch. While I was there Operation Desert Fox kicked off, and I thought, 'I didn't sign up for this'," said Hutton.
But she came to terms with her duties.
"That is when I guess my patriotism really got strong. I realized that I was actually making a difference."
Hutton would make another impact, three years later, on September 11, 2001.
"I was at Dover, Delaware. We were going out to the planes out on the ramp. We were going out checking the planes for tie downs," said Hutton.
That is when Hutton heard, and at first, she believed it was an accident.
"The radio was on, and they said that a plane hit the tower. The people that I was with, my crew, we just thought it was an accident, that some private pilot it the tower," said Hutton.
A week later, Hutton was identifying the remains of those who died in the towers and pentagon.
"They flew them in on army chinooks to Dover Air Force Base. I was assigned to the detail of taking them off the chinooks and putting them on the back of Air Force planes, and the Dover Air Force base morgue was designated to identify all these bodies that had perished,"said Hutton.
Hutton says she struggled with anger, confusion, but most of all sadness for the families of those who lost their lives. So, she made sure every loved one was sent home with as much respect, love and care she and her fellow soldiers could provide.
"We handled all the remains as if the families were right there watching us," said Hutton.
Hutton believes her connection to September 11 will never be severed. She says it left her with a new appreciation for family and country.
"Just so proud of the accomplishments that the U.S. military as a whole has made since 9/11 has happened, and I'm just one little piece of the puzzle," said Hutton.

"Whatever way birth happens, it is your rite of passage into motherhood, and that passage is to be celebrated. Natural childbirth is a passage, cesarean birth is a passage, and birth with an epidural is a passage to be celebrated. That passage cannot be taken away from you.

I know a lot of you are relating to this. I hear it all the time. "Oh, I can't make fudge. I don't DO candy." It's the same reaction I get when I talk about making bread. Well, I'm here to make all you troubles fade away. When I was living in the Midwest, I was given the secret to fudge making and it comes out perfectly perfect every time. The purists may throw bloggy stones at me, but those of you who have always wanted to make fudge but are scared…well, you will all want to marry me. We'll serve fudge and champagne at our reception.
I have no idea how to credit this recipe because some variation is in every church cookbook and personal recipe arsenal of every Midwestern woman I know. Believe me, you guys, when it comes to Christmas cookie/candy making, Midwesterners are second to none. My elf hat is off to you, ladies.
Here is the Recipe:
4 cups sugar
pinch of salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup milk (I use 2%)
1 teaspoon of vanilla or seeds of one vanilla bean
25 large marshmallows
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 ounces UNsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
Melt the butter, sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla in a large pan together S-L-O-W-L-Y. Use medium to low heat and be patient. This is how you will get your smooth texture. Rushed fudge is grainy fudge. Bring it to an easy boil slowly stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from heat and add the marshmallows, stirring until everything is melted and smooth. Add the chocolates one kind at a time and continue stirring until every thing is melted and smooth (note: at this point you can do add ins if you like nuts, or peppermint, or cayenne) Pour the mixture into a buttered 9x13 pan and refrigerate to set. I let it sit out a bit before I cut it.
-I use Ghiradelli chocolate. You get what you pay for.
-This is a great base for all kinds of embellishment. Try a teaspoon of peppermint extract and crushed candy canes on top or walnuts…so many options!
-I sometimes line my pan with parchment because it is so much easier to cut when you can pull it out of the pan, but this step is not necessary as long as you butter the pan.

The U.S. Army sent a large contingent to the Rio Olympics and now President Obama has named Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning to the U.S. Presidential Delegation that will attend the closing ceremony next Sunday August 21st. The Army has 14 Olympians along with three coaches as a part of Team USA at the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.
The Army has been sending soldier-athletes to compete in the Olympics since 1912, when the young Second Lieutenant George S. Patton competed in the modern pentathlon. Patton claimed he was denied a medal because he shot too well: he believed that three of the twenty shots from his .38 Colt Special went through gaping holes left by earlier rounds fired and that the deductions that knocked him down to 21st place were unwarranted.
Since Patton, Army athletes have collected 104 Olympic medals. This year, the Army has 14 Olympians along with three coaches as a part of Team USA at the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics. The U.S. delegation will be headed by Gina McCarthy, administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Joining Fanning in the group will be retired NBA player Jason Collins, Olympic track and field legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee, U.S. ambassador to Brazil Liliana Ayalde, and White House staffers Bess Evans and Lauren Kelly.

Fujifilm's newly-refreshed line of S series "bridge" cameras have some of the highest magnification zoom lenses out there. These cameras are for people who want big hulking DSLR cameras without all those complicated DSLR buttons for controlling things. But at least you can control the zoom SO MUCH.
Back in August, Olympus brought out a 40x zoom camera only to be one-upped by a 50X zoom on the Canon Powershot SX50 in November. The new Fujifilm cameras. How does 100x zoom sound?
The flagship HS50EXR sports a 42x manual zoom that's basically tailor-made for people who want to be able to grab a telephoto lens barrel and twist it to zoom. It's not quite as zoomy as the Canon Powershot SX50 zoom but you can control it manually. There's also a manual focus, a flip-out 3-inch LCD, and fast hybrid autofocus. Yeah, you're basically looking at ultra-simple DSLR. While a UK price hasn't yet been revealed, over in the US our American pals can pick one up for $550 (£340), when it ships in March. There will also be a HS35EXR, a $400 (£245) version that only has a 30x zoom.
Annnnnnd then there's the Finepix SL1000. The new flagship makes sense, but this thing takes the obsession to a whole new level. Like the Canon SX50 it's got a 50x zoom—that's a 24-1000mm lens, in case you're counting. But that's just the optical zoom. Once you've maxed out at 50, you can then use the camera's digital zoom to then double the magnification again. 100x zoom. Of course, this will make your image quality suffer, but really, if you're zooming to 100x instead of finding something closer to take a picture of, you probably don't care at all. This bundle of zoom excess will cost $400 (£245) when it ships in March.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The man in charge of China's war against graft has issued a new warning against Communist Party members believing in "ghosts and supernatural beings" and revealed two top officials had left after systemic corruption was found in their departments.
Since assuming office four years ago, President Xi Jinping has waged battle against deep-seated graft, warning, as others have before him, the problem is so bad it could undermine the party's grip on power.
In an undated speech to members of a government advisory body and carried in the latest issue of the influential party theoretical journal Qiushi, Wang Qishan said too many party members were weak in their ideological commitment.
"At present, some party members and officials don't believe in Marxism–Leninism and believe in ghosts and supernatural beings. They don't believe in the organization but believe in 'masters'," Wang said, using a term generally referring to charismatic religious leaders.
"When investigations are started, briefcases contain incense ash. This is diametrically opposed to the beliefs of Communist Party members," added Wang, who heads the party's graft watchdog the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Party officials in officially atheist China are not supposed to practise religion and the charge of superstition is often leveled against the corrupt to further blacken their names.
China's powerful former public security chief, Zhou Yongkang, jailed for life last year for corruption, was accused in court of leaking undisclosed state secrets to a fortune teller.
The party held its yearly plenum in October, unveiling new rules against corruption.
Wang said during that meeting one member of the party's Central Committee, the largest of its elite ruling bodies, and one member of the anti-corruption watchdog had "asked for leave", though he did not give names.
"Because the departments they lead had systemic corruption, the party center decided to hold them accountable," Wang said, without giving details.
